Luke and Laura attend a get together at Dante and Lulu's, Todd spoils Carly's plot with AJ, and a surprise package arrives for Lulu.
In their hotel room Scotty sees Laura looking at a photo of Luke. She closes her family album and explains how she will soon see the sonogram of her grandbaby. She thinks Lulu would like to see pictures of herself as a baby. Scott asks if she is going to keep what she saw between Duke and Anna to herself if she sees Luke. He wants to go with Laura but she wants to be alone with Lulu. Scott proposes, and this time produces a ring. He places it on her finger and she says yes.
Dante visits his mom at Steve's. He is worried about her as she wanders around in a robe. She tells him she's waiting for a lawyer to call and tries to get him to take the cannoli. He talks her into getting dressed to come with him for his and Lulu's big day.
At Lulu's, Luke asks if she has received any more surprise gifts. He indicates the ice princess fake might not have been from Helena. Luke suggests Scott is responsible. They agree Scott may still hold a grudge against her. Luke suspects Scotty is backing off because Luke is onto him. She says she will stay out of it. She has her own relationship to focus on. She thinks he does too. He tells her Anna broke it off. She asks if Laura knows. She thinks Laura will be interested in him now. Luke doesn't understand how. Laura and Olivia arrive.

Olivia leaves to get a gift from the car. Luke and Dante discuss Helena and he asks Dante to look into Scott Baldwin. Laura shares the family album with Lulu's baby pictures. Laura confesses that Anna is cheating on Luke. Lulu tells her that Anna broke up with Luke and asks her if it matters to her. Olivia returns with a large gift bag addressed from Aunt Bobbi. Luke says don't touch it.
In his hotel room John explains to Rafe how they could make it work if he stays with him. Sam asks if it's a good idea since he has a high profile job and raising a teen is hard. Alexis arrives after speaking with child services and says it is not going to happen. John does not meet the requirements to be a foster parent. Molly says it is not fair and asks her mom to do more. Rafe says it is okay and thanks Alexis. John says he is sorry he let Rafe down. Sam is sad for John who throws everything off his desk. She reminds him how much he has done for them. He doesn't agree but she calls him a good man and they kiss.
Lucy and Todd bump into each other at the Floating Rib. She tries to get him involved and wants to sell him a table to the Nurses' Ball. He's not interested. She changes the topic and talks about getting her man back. She realizes Todd doesn't have his woman back. He says "The Easter Bunny sees all." Lucy offers him luck as he leaves to go fix his problem. Scotty shows up. He is happy to hear of her adventures. He tells her he is in Port Charles so Laura can see if anything is left between her and Luke. He tells her the stars aligned in his favor when Laura saw Luke kissing Anna. Then he found out they weren't a couple when he went to free Lucy. Lucy agrees he shouldn't fess up to Laura about that truth. Lucy asks if he loves Laura. He says he has since he was 17. Lucy tells him to go grab that girl and marry her before Laura finds out.
Carly and AJ argue about their secret at her house. They try to come up with a better plot to make Todd think they are really together. AJ says, "Game over." He tells Carly how Liz saw them kissing and how he had to lie to his son. He is tired of being blackmailed. She asks if he wants to find the missing heir before Luke does. Todd shows up and asks how the happy couple is. He asks them to go about their day and show him and Mr. Bunny how much they love each other. He freaks everyone out as he rips the camera out of the stuffed bunny. He tells them he knows they loathe each other. AJ storms out glad it is over. Todd says they can both screw up and they will always be there for each other. They kiss.

San Francisco struck out more than anyone else, yet they were 7th in the big leagues in runs scored.Originally Posted by BadFundamentals

sorry steel. what was i thinking.
So if your payroll is over, say 95 mil then each strikeout is only counted as a third of a strike?
does that mean it takes more pitches to strikeout Manny Ramirez?

because walks suck. and getting on base means nothing, cuz a walk isn't as good a a single.Originally Posted by BadFundamentals

what makes no "logical sense whatsoever" (again) ,and is the point of this thread, is that you'll acknowledge strikeouts are GOOD for pitchers but you contend they are not BAD for hitters.
You're trying to say that there is a positive correlation between a hitter's strikeouts and his offensive contribution??
Don't forget to include pitchers and their at bats.
Your Bosox fact is what it is. But strikeouts is NOT the only variable at work with that example.

psst. the key isn't strikeouts.
it's on base percentage. Dunn gets on base 38% of the time. When your team has a high OBP, they tend to score a lot of runs.
And guys like Dunn are rare. High OBP, monster power.
get it?

OK. That has to qualify as one of the funniest statements ever uttered here on RedsZone. What I'm arguing is that stike-outs have NEXT TO NO correlation to offensive contribution.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- When I leased my first car in my early 20's - a Nissan from 5 Towns Nissan in Inwood NY, I got a call 2 weeks into the lease that the lease payment was miscalculated and I actually owned $11 more per month, and that if I didn't come in an re-sign, my credit rating would be destroyed. That colored my image of car dealerships as crooked and dishonest. The reason I leased my Mazda from Manhattan Mazda is because I got a good feeling about the sales guy. Unfortunately, the experience turned sour fast.
First off, the shifty finance guy tried to sell me some outrageously expensive tire insurance. He said that the tires were thin and prone to blowouts - that made me feel confident, especially since I was told this after signing all the paperwork. Then, a week later he called to say he had left off the return fee on the contract and could I re-sign.
The next incident really blew my mind. About 2 weeks after the car left the lot, I got a tire blow out on the turnpike. Pulled over on the side of the road on a hot summer day with my girlfriend, brother and his pregnant wife, we called Mazda roadside who informed us that the NJ Turnpike is a restricted road and they could not come help us. So they gave us a number for a local tow service and said that if we mailed in the receipt, we would be reimbursed. The mechanic who replaced the tire said that the tires were unevenly inflated; some were way above the recommended tire pressure and some way below. The uneven tires and hot day probably caused the blowout.
The next day, I contacted the dealership, who gave me the run around about reimbursement. Long story short, it went on for 6 months - unreturned calls, decision makers "on vacation", etc. Finally, I was told that I would be reimbursed for the tire - $135, but not the towing charge of $35. I didn't think that was fair, since the only reason I needed the tow was because their tire didn't make it through the first month. The check for the tire was supposedly in the mail, but it never came. I went back and forth for several more months. I then got a letter from Easy Care stating that my tire claim was denied.
All in all, Mazda took no responsibility. They outright refused to make good on $165 just to make a customer happy. They denied that the car could have left the lot with uneven tire pressure, made no apology for my inconvenience or their negligence, and more importantly, the precarious position it put me and my passengers in. It became my problem and not theirs.
They tried to throw me free oil changes and the like - funny, just what Nissan did when they screwed me over. In my business, when we make a mistake, or even if it is perceived by a client, we would most certainly eat $165 so as not to leave a bad taste in a client's mouth. Apparently these guys have no business acumen.
I thought that by going back to a dealership where I had a pretty favorable experience, at least with the sales guy, they would do the right thing by a customer. Unfortunately, they embody all the negative images that people have of the car business. They have proven that once a car leaves the lot, that's where the service ends. These guys are petty, cheap, take no responsibility for their own actions and overall, couldn't care less about their customers. I guess I was expendable because I was only leasing a Mazda 3. I wonder if I would have had a different experience if I was getting an $80,000 Jag from their sister dealership??
ADELAIDE, FLORIDA -- DO NOT BUY MAZDA CAR!!! Otherwise, there is no warranty guaranty!!! I bought a Mazda 3 recently, and the new car warranty expires until April, 2014. However, the paint of the car roof has already peeled off by itself and the window plastic frame was already broken. This car has always been looked after and always garaged.
I went to Mazda customer to do the warranty this morning. To my great surprise, they told me it was not a quality issue and will not covered by the warranty. I complained this to the SA service manager (Australian Motors Mazda Pty Ltd), he told me that they cannot do anything about that and asked me to report this issue to Melbourne head office. I reported this to the head office; they told me there would be no warranty for the paint and window frame of my car.
I was so disappointed with Mazda customer service and felt extremely helpless. I cannot believe the quality of Mazda car is so bad. I cannot do anything about my car warranty even the warranty expire next year, I just wish people think twice to buy Mazda. The quality is so bad and you cannot have the real warranty after you paid the car.
I have contacted with Consumers Affairs SA, they indicated me that I could use social media to seek help. If Facebook could not get their attention, I will contact Channel 9 and 7 current affairs. Now they have blocked me to post on Mazda Facebook, they don't want me to tell people the truth and how bad they are. Again, stopping buying Mazda car!!!
Navigation system (my second in this car) takes me in circles and to towns I have not inputted. It takes me to dead end streets and tells me I have arrived at my destination, even when it is to a landmark like a restaurant or a museum. Customer service said it would send me updated software but couldn't get it to me in 16 days or less (when my next major trip is scheduled).
I am moving to Colorado next month from Massachusetts and fear for my life as I try to get around in that rugged and strange environment. I will never again purchase a Mazda and we have owned 7 of them. Asked for a VP to write to, no can do either. My letter will go right to the very customer assistance dept. I talked to on the phone today.
In 2003 I purchased a used B3000 extended body pickup. At that time there was some surface rust on the chassis and most underbody areas. I was told by the dealer O'Hara Mazda in Fairhaven, MA that this was not a problem. I took it to a RI garage that specializes in rust restoration. It cost $500 to have it sandblasted and coated with special chemicals to inhibit further problems.
Just recently I noticed that the chassis is corroding away along with brake lines, springs, etc. I was told by my mechanic to dump the truck ASAP. When it was purchased it, on 7/8/04 it had 36,721 miles on the odometer. As of 7/15/12 it now has 55,078 miles on it. As you can see it's not a high mileage truck as it's used mainly to bring trash and recyclables to the Town dump. My problem is that I am afraid that soon it will collapse and injure myself or some other person. What can I do???
This is my first and last Mazda. I purchased the 2004 RX-8 and the car can be described as nothing more than a lemon. My troubles began shortly thereafter. The engine would run sluggishly or completely stall in the middle of the intersections. This problem was finally resolved by getting a brand new engine!
After further research, I learned that this was an issue across the board and also learned of the coming problems that I would experience: leaking taillights (known issues with Mazda, not covered), cracked visor above the driver's seat, (known issue, not covered) and costly tune-ups ($1,500) that I found needs to occur every 30,000 miles or the car will simply become inoperable.
The newest issue is the heater control (well-known issue with on websites and with the dealer repair center). In the middle of winter, the heater control knob allows for heat about 50% of the time or stops working mid-drive. It is not on recall, but I was told that I could pay for the $600 repair and be reimbursed if they decide to recall it.
Since this was a known issue, I called 'customer service' to get this resolved. Follow up was done and they decided not to pay for it. I asked to speak to a supervisor since this was not an isolated concern, but encompassed the 3 years of me owning this vehicle. She hardly listened and showed no remorse for what I was going through.
After a point, where I assume she was finished listening to me, she hung up. I assured myself that it was an accident and called back. She assured me that she did in fact hang up on me and assured that there was no one else that I could speak to. After a moment or so, she again hung up. I called back and tried to speak to a different supervisor and was told, several times that there was no one that I could speak to above her and was transferred again to her!
I have only owned Toyotas and Hondas in my past and have NEVER dealt with anything remotely close to what I experienced. I will be trading in my car this weekend and taking loss, but at least will be finished with the continuous issues that I have been facing. The point of this blog is that hopefully I will save an undecided customer the same stress and aggravation that I have been faced with over the past three years with Mazda.
OWINGS MILLS, MARYLAND -- My son, foolishly, took the new car (purchased about 10,000 and 8 months before) that I had bought him from the Mazda dealership to the same dealership, since he had a concern about some slight problem. I tell the kids to use Jiffy Lube or Mr. Tire for maintenance, but he wanted to do things right, so he went to the dealership. Then he called to tell me that they were replacing the 2 front tires, saying one was bald and the other needed it also.
I asked to speak with the manager; got someone else who said it was too late to cancel as my son had already signed the papers. So I had to pay around $300 for 2 new tires after only 10,000. Unbelievable. They said maybe it was due to unnoticeable alignment problems (car wasn't pulling, etc.). So that may have been unnoticeable, but their tactics weren't. Regardless of the performance of the car, I would never buy a Mazda again.
I bought a 2005 Mazda 6 around August or September of 2005. The rear wheel wells are rusting. A Mazda representative told me the rust warranty was for sixty (60) months. The car runs great and I planned to keep it. Now I am very disappointed that the body (rust) of the car did not last longer.
2008 Mazda 3 with only 60,000 miles. I just spent $999.97 to replace the air conditioner compressor, accumulator, and expansion valve. What a rip-off! I am warning everyone not to buy a Mazda. My mechanic said this is a common problem and it will happen again in another 60,000 miles. I should have bought a Toyota.
I ordered a turbine sensor and they gave me 2 speed sensors, so for 6 months I went around and around trying to figure out why my sensor weren't working. It's because the whole time they gave me the wrong sensors and then blamed me and said it's because I said I needed speed sensors. Why would I say speed sensors when the code from the diagnostic machine read turbine sensor? Then they said because I don't use a professional diagnostic machine then it doesn't read the accurate information.

WASHINGTON, D.C. President Barack Obama will host his former political rival Mitt Romney for a private lunch at the White House Thursday, their first meeting since the election.
Obama promised in his victory speech earlier this month to engage with Romney following their bitter campaign and consider the Republicans ideas.
In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Gov. Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward, Obama said at the time.
Obama aides said they reached out to Romneys team shortly before Thanksgiving to start working on a date for the meeting. The two men will meet in the White Houses private dining room, with no press coverage expected.
In the days after his loss, Romney told top donors that the president was re-elected because of the gifts Obama provided to blacks, Hispanics and young voters, all of which are core Obama constituencies.
The presidents campaign, if you will, focused on giving targeted groups a big gift, Romney said.
Many Republican officials, eager to move on quickly after the loss, disputed Romneys comments and urged the party to focus on being more inclusive.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama was looking forward to having a useful discussion with his former competitor. But he said there was no formal agenda for the lunch.
While in Washington, Romney will also meet with his former running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, according to a Romney campaign aide. Ryan is back on Capitol Hill, where hes involved in negotiations to avert a series of automatic tax increases and deep spending cuts that have come to be known as the fiscal cliff.
Much of that debate centers on expiring tax cuts first passed by George W. Bush. Obama and Romney differed sharply during the campaign over what to do with the cuts, with the Republican pushing for them to be extended for all income earners and the president running on a pledge to let the cuts expire for families making more than $250,000 a year.
The White House sees Obamas victory as a signal that Americans support his tax proposals.
Obama and Romneys sit-down Thursday will likely be their most extensive private meeting ever. The two men had only a handful of brief exchanges before the 2012 election.
Even after their political fates became intertwined, their interactions were largely confined to the three presidential debates.
Romney has virtually disappeared from politics following his loss in the Nov. 6 election. Hes spent the last three weeks largely in seclusion at his familys southern California home. He has made no public appearances, drawing media attention only after being photographed at Disneyland in addition to stops at the movies and the gym with his wife, Ann.
Former aides confirm that Romney is expected to move into an office at the Boston-area venture capital firm Solamere Capital. The firm was founded by his oldest son, Tagg Romney, and Spencer Zwick, who served as his presidential campaigns national finance chairman.
Its unclear what role, if any, Romney will play at the firm. Former aides said Romney was subletting office space from Solamere.
Steve Peoples reported from Boston.

Daystar Leveling Kit
Daystar Leveling Kits work within the factory suspension design, meaning that they work within the factory's design parameters to achieve an increase in ride height that levels the stance of the vehicle. Because Daystar works within the factory's design, there are not a bunch additional modifications involved. Everything needed is included in the kit; there's everything you need and nothing you don't. If there are extra items required, such as longer shocks, it's clearly stated in the application description.
Daystar's Comfort Ride Suspension systems are truly "Driven by Design." Comfort Ride kits are specially designed to work with stock suspension components to keep costs down and quality high. High-density Progressive Polyurethane strut and spring spacers act as isolators to combine moderate amounts of lift without losing the comfortable ride you have come to expect. In torsion bar applications, re-indexed torsion keys allow you to "dial-in" the desired amount of lift in order to plus-size tire and wheel packages. These front lifts are often combined with Daystar's Greaseable Super Shackles, add-a-leafs, or blocks & u-bolts to provide complete front and rear kits.
Torsion bar applications require their own unique approach to leveling the stance of the vehicle. With torsion bar applications, Daystar supplies new forged torsion keys that meet or exceed factory specifications. These torsion keys have been re-indexed to increase ride height up to 2" and level the stance of the vehicle. In select applications, extended shock brackets are also included.
Daystar offers a the most complete line of kits for most of the popular vehicles, including virtually all late-model domestic and import applications! Almost all of the lift and leveling kits used on strut applications feature an easy-install design; no disassembly of the strut is required! Most kits will provide 1" to 3" of lift and allow for a larger / plus-sized tire & wheel package. Whether you are looking to fit a larger off-road dedicated tire or the latest 24" wheel, Daystar has a kit that is right for you at a an unbelievable price. Comfort Ride Kits are the perfect start to achieving that custom look without compromising performance, reliability, or affordability.

She needs family to sign off on the surgery and Rebecca says the family would want whatever needed to be done to save him. Robin can't figure out why a healthy Edward had a heart attack.
Mac sees Andrea's body in the morgue and contemplates the odds of Mayor Floyd's mistress being killed and his wife being run down.
A weak Johnny tells Spinelli to leave and make an anonymous 911 call, but Spinelli won't hear of it. Spinelli eventually gets through to a busy 911 and calls for an ambulance. As they talk, Johnny passes out and falls to the ground.
Morgan, Michael, Sonny, Olivia, Jax and Carly wait for word on Dominic in the lobby, as Patrick tends to him. Patrick tells Dominic he's not doing well, but Dominic doesn't want everyone hanging around and getting upset so he asks him to tell them he's okay. Patrick says he'll see what he can do and tells the group Dominic is losing blood and they will run more tests.
Morgan goes to see Dominic and thanks him for saving his life. Dominic knows he would do the same for him and Morgan gives him his Yankees hat he won. Dominic tells him to keep it for good luck. Dominic, who is having trouble breathing, starts to cough and Morgan looks scared.
Lucky and Elizabeth sit with Jake in a hospital room after learning the results were inconclusive. Jason looks on through the window and Sam asks if he needs anything. Jason is fine and Sam starts to leave, but Jason grabs her arm.
Rebecca sits with an unconscious Edward and tells him calling him grandfather right now sounds natural and begs him to get through the surgery, as Nikolas listens in.
Jax and Carly want to take Michael and Morgan home, but Morgan doesn't want to leave Dominic. As they talk, they hear over the radio they are still looking for Kristina. Michael takes off to find his sister.
Molly and Alexis reunite and Alexis learns Kristina is missing.
Claudia remains by the carnival ride calling out for Kristina, as the camera pans to someone's foot trapped under the wreckage.
Olivia prays for Dominic and Sonny wonders why she cares about him so much. Olivia says he seems like a nice guy, but Sonny thinks he reminds her of her son Dante.
Patrick tells Dominic his internal bleeding is getting worse and wonders if there's anyone he can call, but Dominic doesn't want his 'Ma' to worry. Patrick goes to Sonny and Olivia wondering how he can get in contact with Dominic's mother.

Local public health infrastructure includes the systems, competencies, frameworks, relationships, and resources that enable public health agencies to perform their core functions and essential services. Infrastructure categories encompass human, organizational, informational, legal, policy, and fiscal resources.
PHUND$: Public Health Uniform National Data System
PHUND$ is a web-based public health financial data collection and analysis portal. Local health departments enter financial and demographic data, and PHUND$ generates feedback on financial and operational conditions through ratio and trend analysis, dashboards, benchmarking, and analysis of program financial performance.
Confidentially is a core value of PHUND$ and, data collected is identifiable only by the reporting agency and NACCHO.

Health Equity: Exploring the Economic and Social Dimensions
Richard Hofrichter, NACCHO''s Senior Analyst for Health Equity, contributed "Health Equity: Exploring the Social and Economic Dimensions" to the 2009 edition of America''s Health Rankings, A Call to Action for People and Their Communities.
The piece asserts that effective action to eliminate health inequities and establish the foundations for health requires organized, systematic efforts by organizations and individuals. The major advances in life expectancy in the U.S. that occurred in the early part of the twentieth century stemmed from massive social change and the movements that supported those changes, such as the end to child labor, the introduction of housing and factory codes, the eight-hour work day, improved wage and work standards, and so forth. Individuals, community leaders, employers, policymakers and health professionals have the responsibility to show leadership through a variety of actions.

Newbies, Post in Welcome Central to open up the boards
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
Because our Savior took our place and bore God's wrath that we had earned, God can justly forgive us and reward us with the righteousness that Christ secured for us.
It is clear that both James and Paul are talking to people who profess to be children of God, and in both cases Paul and James are challenging the validity of their hearers' conversion. However, each man is using a different yard stick upon which to base his challenge. Paul is saying, "You cannot be saved by grace unless it is 100% grace. Any mixture of works and grace totally destroys the truth of grace." For Paul (cf. Romans 4) salvation comes to the one who entirely quits working to earn salvation and turns in faith alone to the promise of God. "To him that worketh not" means exactly what it says. Paul is challenging the assurance of the legalist who would attempt to get into heaven by his own works.James, on the other hand, is also challenging the salvation of his hearers but for a different reason. James is not talking to people who are trusting in works to get them to heaven. He is talking to people whose whole religion is made up of talking without any doing. He is talking to people who have no works in which to trust! James is not discussing the way of salvation but whether a given individual is really in the way of salvation. James is not discussing whether we are saved by faith or works, or a combination of the two, but rather, "What is the nature of saving faith?" Paul is declaring that man is saved by faith alone and James is saying that true faith is never alone but is always accompanied by works. James is talking about the nature of true saving faith. In so doing he is using the same terms as Paul. The works are a result of true saving faith, doers and not just hearers and talkers. True faith walks the talk.
I love talking about God.
I don't believe Paul and James are speaking of the same thing.James was writing **to the twelve tribes of Israel** concerning the royal law (he said so). Then says that if one have faith but have no works, THAT faith cannot save him.James uses Abraham as an example of doing something AFTER he believes.Paul would NEVER agree with James on that issue for us of the nations.Paul uses Abraham as an example of just believing God and being justified BEFORE doing anything.I could go on and on with examples.

Yesterday I made it to 37 weeks PE free! This is the first time I have made it full term in a pregnancy, so I really don't know what to expect over the next two weeks (my c-section is scheduled for the 14th, they won't let me go past that), and yesterday I had a bit of a scare that I have a question about. Maybe you ladies can help me.
First some background: my home blood pressures have been good for the entire pregnancy (averaging around 129/79), although my pressures in the doctor's office have always been a little higher (varies, but on average around 135/85). The past two weeks or so my blood pressures in the doctor's office have been a little lower, closer to those I get at home. I was on non-pregnancy-safe BP meds when I got pregnant but was able to go off them and stay off them without replacing them with pregnancy-safe meds. Around 28 weeks I developed gestational diabetes and have since been controlling it well with diet alone. My baby is big (at high end of normal - 88th percentile at 36th week) and I have plenty of fluid. My twice-weekly NSTs and weekly fluid checks have all been good.
On Sunday I had a headache and my blood pressure was higher than normal (144/89). It was not as strong of a headache as I was having when I had PE and I thought it was related to a BBQ I attended the previous day (it was really hot out, it tired me out, and I totally blew my diet) so I took some tylenol and drank a lot of water. An hour later my headache was gone and my BP was lower (128/81). Monday I had to go into the birth center to have my AFI and NST because my doctor's office was closed. Everything was great, including my BP (128/79). That afternoon, I had another headache and my blood pressure was 133/87. Once again, I took tylenol and drank some water and my headache went away and my BP went back down (122/80).
So Tuesday arrived and my afternoon BP was good (121/80). After dinner I took my daughter to the park for a walk, and after about 20 minutes, right when I was ready to turn around to head back to my car, I simply started peeing my pants and could not stop. Previously I didn't feel like I had to go to the bathroom, so it really just came out of nowhere. I thought for a minute that maybe my water broke, because I have never had that experience before and really don't know what it feels like, but then I thought that it felt like urinating so much that I must have simply lost control of my bladder. I turned around and walked back to my car, and as I was packing my daughter into the car seat it happened again. I just started urinating and couldn't stop. Both times it was enough urine to make a puddle at my feet (it was really embarrassing but luckily I had pants on that didn't show it and nobody was really close by me when it happened anyway). I really don't know where all that urine came from, because I had gone to the bathroom before I left and hadn't drunk any of the water I brought with me because it was a cool evening. I drove home and called my mom to ask her what she thought. She said I should call my doctor and ask, because even if it wasn't my water breaking I could have a urinary tract infection or something wrong with my kidney (I only have one) and I should get it checked out. So I call the birth center (it was after office hours for my doctor's office, and that's their protocol) and they told me it could be my water breaking so I should come in.
At the birth center they hooked me up to the monitor and the baby was fine. They did not do an ultrasound to check my fluid or a pelvic exam, but the doctor on call thought that my water had not broken because I did not have a continuous leak after it happened. However, my blood pressures lying down on my back were very high (averaging 144/99), and came down some when I was put on my side (averaging 144/79). My OB was called in and she stopped by for a brief visit (her mother had a stroke the day before and she needed to get back to her). She said she wasn't as concerned about my blood pressures being high because they were usually higher in the doctor's office (toward the beginning of the pregnancy when I was more stressed they were sometimes in the 140/90 range), and she knew I was good about monitoring it at home. Also, my blood draw was good and my urine sample only had trace protein, probably due to the fact that it also had a little blood in it. They said that was normal toward the end of pregnancy when your cervix starts to get ready for delivery you can have some bleeding from that. She thought I could go home and if I got high readings there I could come back. This morning my BP was back down to 121/85.
Is it normal to lose your bladder control that much toward the end of pregnancy? I didn't get a chance to ask the on-call doctor or my OB about it. I do I see my OB again tomorrow for another NST and I plan to ask her then, but I thought I'd throw this out there and ask if anybody else had something like this happen. The nurse said it does sometimes happen, and based on my description of how my pelvis was feeling earlier (like I had been riding a bicycle or horse all day) that maybe the baby had dropped and was putting more pressure on my bladder. I'm just concerned about it because my pressures were pretty high when I was in the birth center, and I was just in the birth center the day before and my blood pressure then was fine. I'm just wondering if somehow the loss of bladder control could be connected to the high blood pressure readings, other than the fact that thinking I might be in labor stressed me out a bit.

I wear both layers at a time and slip off the fingers when needing to text. They can be worn at the same time and with the fingers free and covered with the other on top or vice versa. When it is warmer, just wear the fingers free glove. They are smooth and warm and do not snag on the velcro of your coat. Easy to wash and just lay flat to dry. They dry in an hour over a heat vent or in the laundry room. Buy a second pair just for gardening or outdoor use. They are too cute for getting dirty in the garden so have a pair for wearing in public. I love to drive with the fingers free so after cleaning the windows of my car, I slip off the fingers and remove that glove only while still wearing the thumb glove.

14 Celebrity-Inspired Wedding Hair and Makeup Ideas
14 Celebrity-Inspired Wedding Hair and Makeup Ideas
Your wedding is your chance to be a star for a day, so why not draw inspiration for your bridal hair and makeup from your favorite celebrity beauty looks? Whether you're going for retro glam or modern romance, wearing one of these gorgeous styles will guarantee that your white aisle will feel more like a red carpet. (Sorry, we can't turn your groom into Brad Pitt, too.)SEE MORE
Celebrity Wedding Beauty Inspiration: Jessica ChastainStriking yet utterly romantic, Jessica Chastain wore a wavy half-up hairstyle and simple makeup to the 2012 Oscars. Don't be afraid the style's too boring—the slightly winged-out black eyeliner and subtle extra height in the hair add the appropriate dose of sexiness for a bridal beauty look.
Celebrity Wedding Beauty Inspiration: Jennifer LopezTake a cue from Jennifer Lopez if you're going for a classic beauty look at your wedding. A high bun is impeccably chic, goes with nearly every makeup choice, and guarantees your hair won't be in your face while you're dancing the night away!
Celebrity Wedding Beauty Inspiration: Michelle WilliamsThe term "blushing bride" exists for a reason: You'll simply glow on your big day if you wear a sheer wash of fuchsia blush on the apples of your cheeks, à la Michelle Williams. If you want another punch of color in your wedding photos, add a complementary shade on your lips, too. Stila Crush Lip & Cheek Stain in Raspberry, $24, works on both!
Celebrity Wedding Beauty Inspiration: Kristen Bell
If you've always pictured yourself as a princess bride, let your hair dress the part as well. Kristen Bell demonstrates a positively regal updo, executed with a high bun with a twisted hair "rope" wrapped around it. This style's strictly for long-haired gals, so if you've got shoulder-length tresses or shorter, hair extensions are a must.
Celebrity Wedding Beauty Inspiration: Viola DavisFor a striking look at a snazzier evening wedding, go for dramatic eyes. We love how Viola Davis kept the focus on her kohl-lined peepers (try Sephora Collection Smoky Kohl Eyeliner, $12) at the 2012 SAG Awards by pairing the strong liner with dark pink blush and peachy lip gloss. Add face-framing long earrings to draw even more attention to your eyes.
Celebrity Wedding Beauty Inspiration: Jennifer LawrenceHave you ever seen a cooler updo in your life? For Jennifer Lawrence's unique hairstyle at The Hunger Games premiere, stylist Mark Townsend braided two Jennifer Behr headbands into her hair, then pinned the blinged-out plaits into a bun (get the full how-to here). Brides who want to take the updo to the next level, this sparkly-yet-elegant style is all yours.
Celebrity Wedding Beauty Inspiration: Kelly RowlandYou want to be 100 percent yourself on your wedding day, so why not rock your natural hair? Kelly Rowland's curly locks are incredibly elegant. Keep the look polished with a styling cream like Marc Anthony Strictly Curls Perfect Curl Cream, $8, simple makeup, and loads of your natural confidence.
Celebrity Wedding Beauty Inspiration: Rooney MaraNo, we aren't advising that you wear Lisbeth Salander bangs as your wedding hairstyle. However, Rooney Mara's makeup at the 2012 Oscars was not only surprisingly wearable but also absolutely ideal for a '50s-glam wedding (tea-length dress, anyone?). Pair CoverGirl Continuous Color Lipstick in Really Red, $5, with tons of black mascara to make both your eyes and lips pop.
Celebrity Wedding Beauty Inspiration: Maggie QRetro beauty-loving brides, you can do a cat-eye for your wedding! Just make sure to keep the liner soft like Maggie Q does here—you could even try charcoal-color liner like MAC Eye Kohl in Phone Number, $15, instead of black. Keep the look fresh with long lashes, bronzy skin, and peachy-pink lips.
Celebrity Wedding Beauty Inspiration: Diane KrugerAre you forgoing the traditional white gown? Throw out the old makeup rules, too! Hot pink lips like Diane Kruger's pack a punch, and they ensure you won't look washed-out in an off-white or pale gray dress. Try Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain + Balm in Crave, $9—the flattering stain is bright and summery but not distracting.
Celebrity Wedding Beauty Inspiration: Emma Stone
Vintage-inspired wedding dresses deserve hair worthy of Hollywood's golden age. Take a cue from Emma Stone and choose 1930s finger waves, but with a modern edge. Wrap one-inch sections around a curling iron, holding for only one or two seconds each. Once your waves are set, run your fingers through them so they don't look too "done" and finish with shine hairspray. The best part about this style? Ladies with almost any length hair can work it!
Celebrity Wedding Beauty Inspiration: Miranda KerrFor the most important kiss of your life, you'd better have kissable lips. A juicy, sheer red gloss like Miranda Kerr's here should do the trick (try L'Oréal Infallible Lip Gloss in Cherry, $10), along with pink cheeks and a thin ring of black eyeliner. And who says you can't be a Victoria's Secret-level bombshell on your wedding day? Shiny waves complete the look to perfection.
Celebrity Wedding Beauty Inspiration: Paula PattonLadies, repeat after us: Super-long lashes + glowing skin + rosy lips = totally gorgeous and universally flattering. Then, add a vintage brooch (it can be your something old!) like Paula Patton did to kick up the glam factor and you've got yourself great wedding hair and makeup. The best part?

Celebrity Wedding Beauty Inspiration: Charlize Theron
Let the sunlight in an outdoor ceremony catch the bling when you walk down the aisle by wearing a sparkly headband like Charlize Theron did at the 2012 Golden Globes. With your hair in a deep side-part, gather loose waves into a bun on the opposite side of your part, and pin in place at the nape of your neck. Place the headband about an inch and a half behind your hairline and pair with subtle makeup to complete the glamorous look.
Consider this style if you want to wear a headband with hair down.

ROSEMONT, Ill.---The Chicago Wolves hammered out four goals in a span of 4:08 in the second period and held on to earn a 5-3 victory before 10,519 fans at the Allstate Arena Saturday night.
Forwards Andre Deveaux, Spencer Machacek, Ryan Garbutt, Darren Haydar and Sergio Somma scored for Chicago (39-30-4-6) in the team's largest offensive output in five games.
The win helped sixth-place Chicago inch ahead in the West Division standings, but a 2-0 win by the fifth-place Oklahoma City Barons in Texas eliminated the Wolves from playoff contention.
"We had to win tonight," said Wolves Head Coach Don Lever. "It showed a bit at first, we looked a little uptight, but once they got the first one we stormed back and didn't let them back in."
After a scoreless 31:03, the two teams erupted for five goals in a span of 5:57, including four straight for Chicago in a span of 4:08.
Oliver Ekman-Larsson put San Antonio (39-33-4-3) ahead, 1-0, 11:03 into the second period. Center Bracken Kearns controlled the puck in the corner threw it out to right wing Matt Watkins, who slipped a centering pass across to Ekman-Larsson as he came streaking in and flipped into the empty right side of the net past Wolves goaltender Edward Pasquale.
The Wolves responded 49 seconds later to tie it up, 1-1, when Somma came flying in and pushed a loose puck past Rampage netminder Joe Fallon for his first professional goal.
Chicago took the lead, 2-1, with a marker from Deveaux at 13:45 of the second period. The center took a pass from left wing Fredrik Pettersson just below the right circle and ripped a shot into the corner of the net.
Thirty-four seconds later, the Wolves scored again on a tally from Garbutt. Machacek carried the puck down the boards and centered a pass for Garbutt who reached to knock it past Fallon to make the score 3-1.
Machacek made the Wolves lead 4-1 at 16:00 of the second period. Fallon came out of the crease to play the puck behind the net, but Machacek beat him to it and wrapped around to deposit the puck in the empty net.
Chicago bagged a fifth goal, 3:29 into the third period when Haydar deflected Mark Matheson's long shot from the blue line past Fallon.
Fallon (2-7-0) turned aside 20 shots for the Rampage.
San Antonio snapped the Wolves streak of five unanswered tallies when Watkins cranked a shot past Pasquale, top shelf, at 10:24 of the third period.
The Rampage added a third goal, when center Randy Robitaille found defenseman Brandon Gormley alone in the slot and the blueliner wound up and hammered a shot past Pasquale to make the score 5-3 with 8:10 left in the third frame.
Pasquale (11-10-1) made 20 saves for Chicago.
The Wolves wrap up their 17th regular season when they host the Rockford IceHogs at the Allstate Arena on Sunday at 3 p.m.
San Antonio 0 1 2 -- 3

iPhone gmail still works too. And I hear iGoogle is broken on Android too (confirmed in the linked thread). So I'm not really sure what that's supposed to be about.
Although I'm pretty annoyed about iGoogle, it's totally useless now. Looking for a new feed reader, but can't seem to find any good ones.
Updated: Google Dumps iGoogle for iPhone: Huhbuwhy?!
Christina Warren from TUAW wrote on Twitter that Google recently dumped the iPhone optimized version of iGoogle and now simply redirects users to a generic mobile version instead.
Update: Here's Christina's story on DownloadSquad.
What in Google's green earth could they be thinking? One of our readers, Jesse, wrote in to share this forum post from Google employee, Paul:
"Hey everyone, I have an update for you. We've decided to direct iPhone users to the standard mobile iGoogle page. We've found that people hit iGoogle from lots of different phones -- we want to ensure you'll all see the same version.
Most or all of your existing content should translate over to the standard mobile version. The only exception would be any gadgets that aren't compatible with most mobile browsers.
We've got several articles in our Help Center about the mobile experience on iGoogle, which you can find in our Help Center [link]."
Lowest common denominator much?
Jesse also let us know that Jailbreak users have a workaround: spoofing their browser via the Cydia app, Useragent Faker.
So is this Google playing it fair, playing favorites for Android (which still has functioning Gmail in its iGoogle mobile according to Christina, unlike the iPhone or BlackBerry), or just doing the mobile equivalent of re-coding all sites to standardize on the original version of Netscape?

iPhone gmail still works too. And I hear iGoogle is broken on Android too (confirmed in the linked thread). So I'm not really sure what that's supposed to be about.
@russel_h: Clarified: Gmail inside iGoogle, not as a separate site.
@K.James: in effect now, no more /i site for iPhone, now only the /m generic mobile site.
Yeah...mines still the same & quick ? Is Jobs really getting a new liver n did apple really give Obama a free serviced iPhone or Im I just an iSucker for apple rumors
Forget iPhone! The all new Palm Pre is here. Armed with features that may simply wipe out iPhone from the marked. Check out pics, review, and video at http://raarooree.blogspot.com/2009/01/forget-iphone-palm-pre-is-here.html
I've made extensive use of the iPhone-optimised Google homepage. I now have a mobile version which gives me access to about 9 threads (instead of the 200 or so I actually have), and the 'classic' view shows something like my traditional nonmobile homepage, but without any content and without the ability to navigate my tabs.
This is a glorious cock-up by Google, betraying just how like Microsoft they've become in their disregard of customers. It's a huge own-goal, no doubt driven by a desire to benefit their own Android OS (which I note they've managed to similarly damage in this act! Doh!).
So, we won't ask customers, we won't test the changes to ensure they deliver any degree of functionality, we'll simply disable what works and replace it with something that doesn't work and is intended to deliver significantly less functionality.
Geez, whatever happened to Google? They used to be so cool...
Awwwww.... Google doesn't want to play in your Apple sandbox anymore ?
Too bad... get out of the sandbox and go play on the beach :) with the big boys and girls.
At least your 'beer mug drinker' app still works.
And that's really need... for your iPhone to achieve it's purpose.
Googles spat its dummy out and of course will favour the G1, it seems the iphone and other mobile users have just had 1 stuck up them from google.
another example of the to pdog rules and everyone has to follow.
Switched to iGoofle about a month ago and love having my Google bookmarks acessible from my homepage from any computer. It stinks that can't get to them from my iPhone as I completely stopped bookmarking in IE, Firefox and safari :-( Maybe Google plans to enhance the Google iPhone App instead?
Wake Google up and let them know how you feel about this by posting your thoughts in the Google forums:
Also submit feedback to Google regarding this issue using their feedback form:
So, is it possible to fully utilize all features of the facebook full site & igoogle in classic view without being redirected to mobile the version ?
If so, is there more than one way to accomplish this with the appropriate flash player ??
(above) correction: *the mobile version .

Problems vehicle accident victims face don't end after the wreckage is removed from the road, a citation is written or the driver at fault is charged.
Some victims face months of recovery, years of discomfort or a lifetime of hurt.
"A lot of times, it's a downward spiral from the moment they're involved in the accident," said Jon David Simpson with the Simpson Law Firm. "It starts with not having your vehicle. Then there's the daily inconvenience of not being able to do normal activities because of the injury, losing time from work, dealing with unpaid medical bills and dealing with the insurance company if they deny a claim for coverage made by the victim under an insurance policy.
"From the moment of the accident, it's a downward spiral of inconvenience, and as time goes on the nature of what they're going through increases."
Moving on
Every time John Lewis turns onto Airport Road near Crestview, he instinctively turns down the radio and grips the steering wheel a little tighter. He knows where the utility pole sits with the marks made by his sport utility vehicle just five months ago, but he won't turn his head to look.
Lewis, 44, says driving is getting easier, but he doesn't think he'll ever be calm when passing the scene of his accident.
Lewis was driving home about 1 a.m. from his night job as a security guard on Eglin Air Force Base last Sept. 24. He said he saw Matthew Kilcrease's car coming down the road and knew it was much faster than the posted 45 mph speed limit.
Lewis moved his Dodge Durango to give the car more room, but when he looked up he saw the car swerve and knew what was going to happen. He lifted his hands over his face instinctively and felt the crash and his air bags deploy. The Durango rammed the utility pole, but Lewis was still alert.
"I was yelling at the guy and I opened up my car to go help and that's when I fell to the ground," he said recently at his home. "I didn't even realize it until then, but both of my knees had been shattered by the engine during the crash."
Lewis spent eight weeks in the hospital and has worn leg braces and used crutches and a cane. His doctors tell him his legs will never be the same, but he continues physical therapy at home.
"Pain is just something I deal with," said the Army veteran who already was suffering back pain. "It bothers me, but I just don't show it. It's just another thing added to the list."
Lewis says he is now looking at more than $30,000 in medical bills, but trusts that the insurance will come through. He says a hefty savings account and good employers have made it possible to move on.
"I'm determined not to let this ruin my life." he said.
This week, Lewis says he will watch Kilcrease stand before a judge. The Florida Highway Patrol had determined the 22-year-old was driving with a blood-alcohol level of 0.164.
"All I want is to see them throw the book at him to learn a lesson," Lewis said as he reached for his cane to stand. "He's young and he has a child, so I'm not looking to take his money. I don't want them to be easy on him, but I don't want them to bury the kid.
"I just want this to be a wake-up call. We're both lucky we made it out alive."
Slowly recovering
A makeshift wheelchair ramp lies over the front porch steps of John Brandon's home. A hospital bed he slept on for a month is in his living room.
The pain he feels with each step he takes reminds him of his motorcycle wreck last August.
"It's been a struggle," Brandon said at his home in Navarre. "The pain's gotten better, manageable, and each time I do more it gets a little easier. But the doctors say it will still be a year before it starts to feel normal."
Brandon, 50, was headed home from work on U.S. Highway 98 about 6:45 a.m. Aug. 24 when an SUV pulled in front of him. Brandon says he can still remember hitting his brakes and then ramming the right side of the SUV.
He woke up in the road and was able to roll onto the median. From there, he says his memory fades in and out.
Brandonhad two broken knee caps, four broken bones in his right foot, a broken ankle and a cracked vertebra. He was in the hospital a little more than a week and in rehab for two weeks before he went home. He finished physical therapy just last week.
The SUV's driver, 74-year-old In S. Bishop of Navarre, was not hurt. He was cited for violation of right of way.
Brandonreturned to work as a contractor at Hurlburt Field in early January. He says the physical demands of his job are challenging, but the father of one knows he has to keep working.
Since the wreck, Brandon says he has not even entertained the thought of riding a motorcycle again. He says he had had close calls in the past, but after his accident he refuses to ride again.
"I broke an arm once before, but I've never been this severely injured or dependent on other people," he said. "I'm done with the doctors, so now I have to start dealing with the lawyers and insurance.
"I never realized what it would be like to go through this until I had to go through it myself."
Still healing
Margarida Southard still fights the tears when she thinks about the last three months of her life. She says everything has changed and nothing will be the same.
Still, Southard counts herself lucky. She at least survived the car accident that fatally injured one of her friends and may leave another crippled.
"It's very depressing," Southard said, crying. "I have good days and bad days, but it's always one day at a time."
On Nov. 4, the 72-year-old woman was in the front passenger seat of a 2004 Nissan Altima headed home to Tallahassee on U.S. Highway 331 when 17-year-old Brittany L. Alford turned into the Nissan's path.
The driver, 66-year-old Patricia Frohe tried to avoid Alford's Jeep Liberty but the two vehicles collided. The back seat passenger, 63-year-old Sandra Rico, died two weeks later from her injuries.
"We were coming back from our annual trip. We rent a house every other year to go to the beach, outlet shopping and to play some games," Southard said as her voice cracked during a telephone interview. "We had a good morning, went to the beach and had lunch at a place near Seagrove. When we were headed home is when it happened."
Southard can remember screaming as she saw Alford's Jeep turn left. She remembers Frohe yelling about the pain in her leg and the witnesses who came to the car and told her everything would be OK.
Her memory fades after that. Southard was in the hospital for more than a month with six broken ribs, a punctured lung, internal bleeding and bruising over her entire body.
Frohe is still in the hospital. Southard said doctors are considering amputating her leg, but no decision has been made.
Today, Southard says she goes through physical therapy almost daily. She hurts every day, but on cold days it's worse.
Alford was given six months' probation.
Southard is talking with a lawyer in the hopes of getting her payments straightened out.
For now, she says there's a long road ahead with medical treatments and payments.
"People don't know the physical, physiological and financial burdens," Southard said. "In the end, I've been left with all these expenses when I didn't do anything wrong."

Don't get used to the nice weather.
The highs in the 70s that have been present in the area recently will be coming to an end as forecasters predict that temperatures will begin to drop starting Tuesday.
Cooler weather is ahead, according to Jeff Linton, National Weather Service forecaster.
"A cold front will be moving through tonight with scattered showers on Tuesday," Linton said.
The temperatures have been sporadic recently, with cool weather last week and warmer weather this past weekend. Temperatures will begin to cool off again this week, but, according to Linton, that is normal for weather patterns.
"There are some days when winds come from the south, which makes it warmer, and from the north, which makes it cooler," Linton said. "There are frontal systems that pass through the area every three to six days."
The highs will mainly be in the 50s throughout the week except for Monday and Tuesday, with highs of 75 and 63 degrees respectively, as well as a 20 percent chance of rain and 30 percent chance of rain for both days, as well.
The lows will be similar, with temperatures mainly in the upper 30s and low 40s, except for Monday with a low of 57.

We'd like to encourage customers to brew any of our coffees using any brewing method!
If you're specifically looking for coffees originally created for espresso brewing, you'll find those listed as Year-Round products. And, again, we'd definitely encourage you to consider any coffee we offer appropriate for any brewer.
Cinco de Junio - 12 oz bagThe Cinco de Junio cooperative of Las Sabanas, Nicaragua, has been one of our strongest partnerships over the past six years. This year, growers worked especially hard on plant health to address challenges that negatively impacted quality in the past few years. Their hard work is showcased in this coffee, which we believe is one of the best they have ever produced. Notes of hazelnut, apple, and toffee. Learn more$15.50
Sipacapa – 12 oz BagThe small cooperative that produces this coffee is in San Marcos—a region of western Guatemala that is very high in elevation and has a notably dry climate. Only in the last few decades have people there really been planting and increasingly focusing on coffee. This is our third year working with this organic producer group, and we love the notes of dark chocolate, grape, and brown sugar this coffee delivers. Learn more$15.75
La Voz – 12 oz BagThe farms of growers contributing coffee to the La Voz cooperative are nestled among the volcanoes surrounding the breathtaking Lake Atitlán—easily one of the most beautiful places in the world. For a second year in a row, the well-managed co-op produced a coffee with notes of crisp red apple and light fruit tones complemented by a sweet, nutty finish.Learn more$15.75
Decaf La Voz - 12 oz bagThis year, we focused on the La Voz cooperative in Lake Atitlán, Guatemala, to produce a few great lots for our decaffeinated offerings. We decaffeinate this coffee using a natural organic water process in small batches that only last us a short time—which keeps this coffee very fresh and tasting its best. Look for sweet notes of chocolate-covered cherry, graham, and cashew. Learn more$16.25

Venus Williams pulls out of Wimbledon, citing backBy HOWARD FENDRICH
the associated press | June 19,2013AP FILE PHOTO
Venus Williams reacts after missing a return against Urszula Radwanska in their first round match of the French Open tennis tournament at Roland Garros stadium in Paris on May 26.After 16 consecutive years of always showing up at Wimbledon, winning five titles along the way, Venus Williams pulled out of the grass-court Grand Slam tournament Tuesday, citing a lower back injury.
Williams, who turned 33 on Monday, never had missed Wimbledon since making her debut there in 1997, although she lost in the first round a year ago.
She won the singles trophy it happens to be called the Venus Rosewater Dish in 2000-01, 2005 and 2007-08, to go with two more major championships at the U.S. Open in 2000-01.
But Williams has been dealing with a bad back for a while, playing only three matches in the last two-plus months. She was clearly hampered by the injury during a three-set, three-hour loss to 40th-ranked Urszula Radwanska of Poland in the first round of the French Open last month, then cited her back when she and younger sister Serena withdrew from the doubles competition in Paris.
The older Williams said after the singles loss at Roland Garros her first opening-round exit there in a dozen years that the inflammation in her back made it painful to serve hard, limiting one of the best parts of her game.
Once ranked No. 1, Williams is currently No. 34. Still learning to live as a professional athlete with an energy-sapping autoimmune disease, Sjogrens syndrome, she has two first-round losses in the past four Grand Slam tournaments.
That includes her defeat at Wimbledon last year, the first time shed left a major championship that early since she lost in the first round of the Australian Open in 2006.
With what Ive gone through, its not easy. But Im strong and Im a fighter. You know, I dont think Im just playing for me now. I think Im playing for a lot of people who havent felt well, Williams said after her loss to Radwanska. I think for me today, its a positive to be able to play three hours. Im constantly finding ways to get better and to feel better.
Play begins at Wimbledon next Monday.
Serena Williams, who is ranked No. 1, will be a big favorite to win what would be her sixth Wimbledon title and 17th major championship overall.
Shes won 31 matches in a row, the longest single-season streak on the womens tour since Venus put together a 35-match run in 2000.
