Buying guides
A Buyer's Guide to Smart but Stylish Bedroom Storage
Your bedroom should be your sanctuary, but more often than not it becomes a hiding place for all the little (or big!) things you don't want visitors to find. This can make it feel at best a little cluttered, and at worst stuffy, stifling and oppressive.
To retain a sense of calm (or at least, controlled chaos) invest in clever furniture and some smart bedroom storage. There are a lot more options than you'd think!
Give your bedroom a facelift
Update your bedroom and look at sliding wardrobe doors and storage. Fitted furniture helps maximise space, from beds to new wardrobes. Follow our helpful advice to show you how to assemble flat pack furniture or how to try out new decorating techniques.
Where dreams are made - updating your bedroom
Some say the kitchen is the heart of the home, and in the summertime your garden tends to steal the limelight. But there's one room not always given a lot of love and tends to be the last room you tackle. Turn your master bedroom into your own personal sanctuary with helpful tips and products.


text: Orchard Park, NY (WGR 550) -- Back in 2012, the Buffalo Bills could do no wrong in the off-season. They re-signed all their core players that had expiring contracts and roped in arguably the biggest free agent in franchise history in Mario Williams. Approaching the first game of the season, a road contest against the New York Jets, the stage was set for Williams to make a huge impact. The Bills were up against a Jets team that wasn't exactly showing quarterback Mark Sanchez a lot of faith, and pulled the ripcord on his long-time right tackle just ahead of the season. Williams, who at that time was primarily a left defensive end in former defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt's defense, was given the task to raise hell on a right tackle that was almost as green as the very field they played on. In stepped Austin Howard, a former undrafted free agent out of Northern Iowa with only one start to his name, to try and stop the highest paid defensive player in NFL history. A predictable result, right? Wrong. Williams struggled to fire out of the gate, registering no sacks against Howard. Then after the game, the defensive end wasn't pleased with the officiating of the matchup to say the least. "You're getting off the ball and getting punched in the face, literally, not an accident, just about every other time," Williams said of the original matchup. "That's a penalty. Unless they changed it with the new C.B.A. or something, but last time I checked it was a penalty." With him being the focal point of the Bills heading into the game, the criticism flowed through the local airwaves and message boards as easily as the water of Lake Erie into Niagara Falls. It was later revealed that he had a wrist injury that slowed him down, leading even to prolonged concern from fans about the team's highest paid player. That was then, and two games into 2013 the pass rusher seems to have turned a corner. Now coming off the most statistically productive game of his entire career, a 4.5 sack effort versus the Carolina Panthers, Williams admitted that he has a clear mind. On the surface at least, the pass rusher doesn't seem to be sweating the small stuff nearly as much as he did in his debut season in Buffalo. Over a year removed from their initial matchup, Williams isn't letting the qualms of old enter his mind for Sunday's matchup. "No, just play ball," Williams said Wednesday, asked if he's considering Howard's uncalled penalties of 2012. "That's the mindset, just go out there and mix it up, get after it." Williams' concerns from 2012 were also broached to Howard on Thursday, and the right tackle took the same tactic as his Sunday counterpar, choosing not to engage in verbal warfare. "Our focus is just to stop the rusher and that's what we did," Howard told Kimberley Martin of Newsday. It could wind up being a winnable matchup for Williams. According to ProFootballFocus.com Howard allowed 10 sacks in 2012, the most of any Jets offensive linemen that season. The Bills and Jets square off Sunday, 4:25 pm at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. Twitter: @JoeBuscaglia

Is the vilification of smokers a good thing or a bad thing?
Especially in the United States, smokers are vilified as second-hand killers. Through smokers actions, people every year die from second hand smoker. People who smoke are stigmatized in the US.
In the United States, this has lead to laws preventing smokers from smoking in public areas. It should also reduce the number of people who smoke in future generations.
In Europe, where there is not a stigma attached to smoking, I probably inhale the equivalent of 1 cigarette a week in the form of second hand smoke. In the US, I would probably catch a faint whiff of cigarette smoke once a month. The thing is, in Germany, the same number of cigarettes are consumed per person as in the United states. The stigmas and the rules about smoking in the US prevent people from smoking in public locations. This is good for the health of non-smokers.
I know people say that this is just another way to hurt poor, working class citizens as that is the demographic that generally smokes. I did not know before reading articles on this subject that that population is the population that smoked.
I also recognize that a lot of smokers try to quit.
So is this stigma associated with smoking a bad thing on a whole? What are your opinions?

Jul 10 2013: Ang, "There is absolutely no reason in the world why tobacco sales should still be legal," oh yes there is. It is a source of funds for every government on the planet. In some places the majority of the money spent on cigarettes actually goes to the government. With prevailing attitudes about letting adults smoke if they so chose, it is easy for governments to add taxes high enough to bring in substantial tax revenue, but not high enough to actually stop the sale in the first place.
Politics wins out over science. Again.
Jul 12 2013: Re: "There is absolutely no reason in the world why tobacco sales should still be legal,"
Prohibiting anything that people do regardless including alcohol, tobacco, firearms, drugs, abortions, and prostitution only benefits criminals and does not seem to improve public health, morals, or safety. There are many reasons why NOT to make these things illegal.

China has become the world's largest automotive market, and the nation is well-positioned to become a significant exporter of vehicles due to favorable labor costs and experience in mass producing technology and energy storage products. The Chinese government has made vehicle electrification central to its aggressive New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan for growing the automotive market both domestically and internationally and has created many national and local incentives for plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) purchases. Global automotive players have formed an unprecedented number of partnerships and joint ventures with Chinese companies in order to gain access to this potentially massive market.
Government projects aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the major metropolitan areas are funding the installation of thousands of EV charging stations. The country also has one of the largest lithium deposits in the world, and therefore is likely to become a key competitor in the lithium ion (Li-ion) battery market. Despite these favorable conditions, PEV sales have been far below the government's goals, and international automakers have been slow to import Li-ion batteries from China due to concerns about quality.
This Pike Research report outlines the market opportunities and challenges for hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and battery electric vehicles in China, along with an examination of EV battery and charging infrastructure trends in the world's largest automotive market. The report analyzes government initiatives and policy trends, technology and standards issues, and key industry players in China. Detailed market forecasts for each vehicle category, as well as for EV batteries and EV supply equipment installations, extend through 2017.
Key Questions Addressed:
- How quickly will the market for plug-in electric vehicles grow in China?
- Who are the leading manufacturers of lithium ion batteries for automotive applications in China?
- What government policies will drive the demand for plug-in electric vehicles in China, and which cities will see the greatest penetration?
- What will be the market segmentation between residential, workplace, public, and private charging equipment in China?
- What percentage of the overall bus market will plug-in electric buses capture in China?
- What are the major international automotive partnerships that will impact electric vehicles in China?
Who needs this report?

Cancer screening guidelines
What is colorectal cancer?
Cancer of the colon and rectum is a disease in which cancerous cells develop in the tissues of these areas. Colorectal cancers can occur in individuals of any age, however, it is most common in people over the age of fifty. It is highly treatable when it is found early, but it may go undetected during the early stages because many people who have it do not experience symptoms.
Symptoms of colorectal cancer
The symptoms of colorectal cancer may resemble the symptoms of other conditions, such as infections, hemorrhoids, and inflammatory bowel disease. Because early detection of colorectal cancer is critical to successful treatment, you should see a doctor if you experience any of the following symptoms:
It is also possible to have the cancer and not have symptoms, so screening is essential for persons who are at an increased risk of getting the disease as well as those over the age of 50.
Routine screening tests are recommended for patients who have any of the risk factors, including any of the symptoms listed above. The three screening and diagnostic tests performed most commonly for colon cancer are provided physicians at Oakwood:
If, when doing these tests, the doctor finds tissue that is not normal, he or she will need to cut out a small piece of the tissue and look at it under a microscope to see if it contains any cancer cells. This procedure is called a biopsy and is usually done in the doctor's office during the proctoscopy or colonoscopy.
Several treatment options have been developed for colorectal cancer over the past decade. To assure quality patient care, Oakwood offers a gastrointestinal multidisciplinary program. This program, which includes team members such as radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, gastroenterologist, and surgeons, meets on a weekly basis at tumor board to discuss patient cases and treatment options. These tumor boards provide the patient and referring physician with recommendations from several disciplines of care. Three areas of treatment that are commonly used for colorectal cancer are provided at Oakwood, by experienced staff and physicians:

Recycled Bottle Spoon Rests
We grew up with our mother always having a spoon rest on the stove. We were always fascinated with how useful they are, but always underwhelmed by how cheesy they can be.
Now that we're older and have our own kitchen, we realize that there has to be a spoon rest out there that we like. The first place we thought to visit on our spoon rest quest was Etsy. We were pretty amazed to find that there are artists selling recycled bottle spoon rests &mdash an idea we had never even thought of!
We picked four of our favorite recycled bottle spoon rests and we're even thinking about shipping one to our mother. Our personal favorite is the Beer Bottle Spoon Rest from ShifflettStudios. We're pretty amazed that the prices range from $10 to $35 (for a set of two).
It's too bad we don't own a kiln, or we could make these at home!

I never thought about checking etsy for these. My spoon rest broke a couple of years ago and I never found one that "spoke" to me enough to replace the old one with. Thanks!
My spoon rest is an asparagus plate! At least that's what I assume it is because it has asparagus (asparagi?), printed on the bottom of the dish. It's perfectly shallow and just long enough, and it rinses clean very easily.
Love these.
The blue one's my favorite
We have a horrible one made out of a grey goose vodka bottle. It is soooooooo tacky, but it was a gift. These plain bottle ones aren't so bad, though.
I've seen these for years, but a friend that has one has always used it as a cheese board/plate.
These are pretty, but I've come to love our upright spoon rest because it takes up less space.
we used a recycled bottle spoon rest until it cracked in half from the heat of the stovetop. i loved the way it looked, but am afraid to get another in case it happens again.
i grew up with my mom having a set on the stove- and now i have my own kitchen and there so many times i wonder why i don't have these useful little things.
i tend to stick my spoons and such in empty cans or plates and that means another plate to wash - or i've temporarily lost my spoon!
thanks for these links!
My mother also had a mod 70's plastic spoon rest on the stove. I thought it was a cool design at the time, but it always seemed to have some food stuck to it. :(
Instead of using a traditional spoon rest, I picked up 4 durable ceramic soy sauce dishes which you use to dip sushi. They are just big enough for the end of my spoons and to catch any drips. At the end of each night cooking, I throw them in the dish washer so they don't stay out on the counter and are always clean. They tuck into my kitchen drawer where I keep all my utensils very nicely. I also like how I can use them on sushi night for their intended purpose, 2-in-1!
I do love these bottle ones if I were to have a traditional one though!
I've seen these in gift shops and boutiques for years -- but they do look neat.
My favorite spoon rest, though, is my white ceramic butterfly that my mom made in college.
These are awesome as spoon rests and kitchen wall art. But beware - mine accidentally got too close to the burner while I was cooking and CRACK! the thing broke cleanly into two pieces!

"Ordered a sample in the yellow. Paper quality is great. Paper is a little crinkly (ordered the basic paper) which I like. Paper stands up well. Love the colors. The website mock up is pretty darn close to the actual colors which is great!!"
"I ordered these to go with the same style invitation and response cards (silver version). Very nice quality paper and graphics."
"Event: Parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary This card is GORGEOUS!. The picture does not show the elegant characteristics of this card. Wow were we impressed. We are in love with Wedding Paper Divas."
"These place cards had a simple design that nicely matched the invitations of the same style. Good product. I'm very satisfied."
"In agonizing over how to address placards, it became obvious due to the size that one per person was necessary and I hadn't ordered enough. Re ordered and recd in time for my wedding!"

text: I only started reading this book because my grandma gave it to me for christmas and told me that it was "a wonderful book that made me think of you". I put off reading it for about 6 months but then I didn't have any new books to read so I picked this one up. Belive me, I don't like reading non-fiction books, so it's pretty amazing that a real-life story about a cat pulled me in so fast. It's a really interesting yet funny book, so good that I made excuses to use it for my "survival" unit in school. *warning* I got a little bit tierd with all of the cat stuff as the book went on.

Diablo 3's Final Class Revealed: Demon HunterThe fifth and final Diablo 3 class has been revealed at BlizzCon 2010 to be the Demon Hunter, a dark and mysterious ranged specialist who wields two crossbows.
The Demon Hunter boasts skills including 'Fan of Knives,' 'Molten Arrow,' 'Grenade,' 'Bola' and 'Entangling Shot'--seemingly a good mix of area-of-effect damage and crowd control. Brian's off to play with the class and will report back with his findings, if he can tear himself away from playing.
The announcement is accompanied by screenshots, a trailer and concept art.
There are also mini videos showing her skills. First, Fan of Knives:
Molten Arrow:
Entangling shot:
Unfortunately, Blizzard has not used BlizzCon to give any idea of when Diablo 3 might be released. Sorry, everyone. The wait continues.

Did Sentosa Island miss an opportunity to fully integrate with the Sentosa Cove Master Plan?
On the surface Sentosa Cove looks like its planned as a stand alone development at the eastern side of Sentosa Island. While some properties address golf course views others at the southern tip are closed off from access to the main beaches. But the key question is: why is the marina located where it's located?

How can the average citizen stop crime?
In the city where I live in the police is quite corrupt and many crimes go unpunished. Their response time is also terrible. As a result I began to think that the answer to crime and drug dealing does not lie within our government, but among us, the citizens. So I would like to know, do you know of any way for the average citizen to stop (or help stop) crime?
It doesn't matter if it's at the local, state or national level or if you suggest individual or collective acts, any suggestions will help. Thank you in advance.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Dec 5 2013: what are the crimes you are talking about? How do you know they are crimes, are you a student of the law? What makes you sure they go unpunished?
If you see what you think is a crime, and you know or have a suspicion that it has gone unpunished, possibly you should go to a law library and research whether it really is a crime or not.
Dec 5 2013: Any type of crime. Pickpocketing here happens a lot and it certainly is punishable by law but the police is never around to stop it. If you want a more clear example, a friend of mine was stabbed to death a few days ago and the perpetrator, who is a minor, is already out with his parents, who were not punished either. A security camera confirms this.
Those two crimes used to be punished as is dictated by our law (and they didn't use to happen almost at all), so I guess there is no need for me to check in a law library since as far as I know our law hasn't changed in that aspect.
Dec 5 2013: Rodrigo, what is your evidence that pickpocketing happens a lot? Is it just something you hear people say, you can't always believe what people say?
To me it makes sense that the police aren't around to stop a pickpocket. If a pickpocket sees a policeman, he's not going to pickpocket at that time, he's going to wait until the policeman is gone?
I am sorry about your friend. Perhaps the person who stabbed him is out on bail? Here in the U.S., if you have been arrested for a crime and are being held awaiting a trial, you can pay a certain amount of money to the court and be free while you are waiting for trial. If you show up for the trial, you get the bail money back. If you flee, the court gets to keep the money.
I still say you should check laws, you always have more power if you know the laws. It will help you understand the different offenses, you will be able to see which are the more serious and how much punishment your country's system believes they deserve. Who knows, you might get interested and become a lawyer, or a policeman, or a government leader.
Dec 6 2013: I see your point, and I would indeed do well in checking the laws. Here's a source you can trust regarding crime in Argentina, I guess you could call it my "evidence": https://www.osac.gov/pages/ContentReportDetails.aspx?cid=13554
Regarding my friend, no, the perpetrator is not out on bail (no money involved). He has been returned to his parents although the judicial authorities have said he is still under their disposal until the investigation is complete and he is found non-guilty.
Dec 6 2013: Well, that's an interesting source, Rodrigo. When I went to that source, I tried to see if it would give me a report on the United States (I know, it's an American website), but it would not. I wanted to see how it would describe the one country that I really know, the one where I live, and compare the description to my personal experience.
Sometimes the reputation a place has might not cohere with your experience. For example, I lived in an area called Westlake, in Los Angeles, for about ten years. It is about a mile west of downtown Los Angeles. It is an area that is about 95% Hispanic (I myself am white), with a very large percentage of "illegal immigrants." People who haven't lived there would tell you it is a very rough area, with a great deal of crime. My experience was different, I found there was some petty crime, particularly graffiti, but generally I felt pretty safe there, and was not the victim of crime. So I sometimes don't trust the reputation a place has.
One way I stayed safe in Westlake was I hardly ever went out at night, in fact that is my lifestyle, I go to bed very early, about 6 PM, and rise very early, 3AM. Nighttime is the most dangerous and weirdest. Was your friend killed at night?
So there is camera footage of this person killing your friend? Have you actually seen this footage, perhaps it doesn't show what you think it does? Why would he be found non-guilty if there is film of him committing the crime?
On the report you linked, I noticed there is less crime in the rural areas of Argentina. What do you think about moving to the country for a less crimeful life, I think country living is the best. Let the city folks tear each other to shreds while you enjoy fresh milk and fine hay?
In America I believe the police work closely with attorneys, in fact I believe many police stations have an attorney who has an office right within the station.......
Dec 6 2013: and this way the police stay very informed on the law, and they can use their knowledge of the law as they fight crime, they can make sure they are staying within the law and upholding the law. I wonder if this is the case in Argentina, perhaps you can find out, and, if it is not the case, push for some change?
Since I walk a lot, I have been assaulted a few times on the streets of America. One time, after I was assaulted, I read a book on how to be safe on the street. One thing they recommended is, when you are walking, to occasionally do a 180-degree turn to see what is going on behind you and around you. I follow this advice, and I find it helps me feel safer on the street.
Rodrigo, I have heard that police in United States make a good salary, and that helps account for why our police are relatively uncorrupt. Maybe you should look into how Argentinean police are paid, and compare it to other countries. If you find they are low paid, perhaps you could push for their pay to be increased. But I don't know how that works, if police in the U.S. are well-paid, you would think other countries could pay their police well and would already be doing it, if they are not doing it one would wonder why?
Dec 7 2013: I understand exactly what you mean. A few days ago a friend of mine told me she couldn't believe I went back and forth through a certain street with my laptop and that nothing ever happened to me. I never felt unsafe nor have I ever seen any type of crime during business hours in that street.
My friend was indeed murdered at night. The camera footage is not accessible by civilians, according to a local newspaper it's being "analysed". Moving to the countryside is not an option for me, as I'll go to college and it requires that I'm in the city centre for a great part of the day. Classes can sometimes end at 11 pm. I should clarify: night time here is perceived different than in the USA, most people go to sleep at 11 pm and it's normal for dance clubs to close at 5 in the morning. Night time is very lively here in the city but it's also more dangerous, you don't want to be alone at any given time.
As far as I know, attorneys don't work with the police here, only prosecutors do and they only show up if a crime occurs and they are needed. The police here don't earn much, nor is their training deep: they barely have self-defence classes and the training lasts about 2 years. They are given equipment but they have to pay for that equipment if it gets stolen, lost or if it's used (police officers buy their own bullets). The police is managed by the state, which doesn't receive much money from the national government (it's rumoured that it's due to political differences despite there being a law that demands a certain amount) so I guess an increase in their salary cannot happen.
Dec 7 2013: Yeah, it is a little hard for me to have this conversation with you at a distance, Rodrigo, because I don't live there to even see what the situation is. Possibly you should be having this conversation with the people around you, your family and friends, getting their opinions and trading ideas, since they and you really know the situation.
Even if it is the trend to go out at night, I would still encourage you to avoid it. You know what they say, if the majority of people walked off a cliff and fell to their death, would you follow them just to be part of the crowd? Going to bed early and rising early is healthy and positive. If noone ever went out at night, it would reduce crime, wouldn't it, and make for a healthier atmosphere?
Now did you say the film definitely shows a particular person killing your friend? And yet the person will be found "not guilty"? How does that work, is it some kind of political thing, or..........?
What are you studying at college? How important is it to you? I am 53, I have had many kinds of life experience. I have studied at the finest universities, and have a degree from Stanford, one of the best. But I really do believe the best life is the country life. It is wholesome, and, also, it is interesting, succeeding in agriculture is challenging and intellectually stimulating, would you agree? Do you like to eat, and are you interested in food, if so this might draw you to agriculture. You actually can go to school in agriculture, there are things called "agricultural colleges."
Rodrigo, I'm going to find out more about how attorneys work with the police here. I had made the statement that some police stations have attorneys working right at the station, but the statement was based on only hearing this as a rumor, and only about one station. I would think attorneys would have to work with the police because the law does change, and the police have to stay abreast of the changes.
Dec 7 2013: Now you're saying that political differences are causing the police not to get paid as much? What are these "political differences," and what is the connection to officer pay?
Possibly, Rodrigo, you should be happy that you don't have a big drug cartel problem in Argentina. Living in southern California, we get a lot of news from Mexico, and it seems they are having real problems with cartels. Part of the blame falls to the United States, as our illegal narcotic demand fuels illicit production in Mexico.

We received this cruise as a gift. We were hesitant about how we would like being help captive on a boat with 3,600 other people. We are an active family -- our lives don't revolve around eating -- so you can see that we figured out that cruising isn't for us. We did not enjoy standing long buffet lines waiting to eat mediocre food. We thought of the ship as a floating cafeteria. The pools are useless -- they are tiny and always filled with people. The decks get very slippery and I fell twice, both with plates of food in my hands. That ruined my trip for me as I was sore the rest of the time. The service and the shows were 5+ stars.....and that's all I can say positively about this cruise. We spoke to the cruise director briefly and he suggested we consider cruising again but on a smaller ship, with less time getting to our destinations (2.5 days from NYC to Grand Turk).
As far as the Splendor goes, we loved that we could just drive to NYC and hop on the ship! The decor is tacky but you soon get used to it. Our cabin was huge, it was a basic oceanview on the lowest level of the ship. Impeccably clean, plenty of space, and a hot high-pressured shower. The food was mediocre except for their desserts. Chocolate bar...amazing. My kids hated the kids club, they went for one hour and busted out. They really forgot to make a plan to cater to 11 year olds. The most awesome thing my kids wanted to do was go to the 12 year old club at night -- they were not allowed in. My kids had nothing to do for 5 of the 8 days of cruising.

__will I develop a seroma
__ Remember when mommy had a c section, well I am having another surgery. I am okay and don't worry about my health. But I will not be able to hold you or walk for a while and will need your help. You can be my helpers. Some surgeries are private and this is a private surgery which means you don't have to go telling all your friends "my mom is having surgery". But if someone asks you where I am, you don't have to lie.. just say "my mom had surgery and she is resting at home"
__My kids are just young enough where they didn't ask any more questions even when I came home. I figure if they see me in the nude and see the scars I can just explain to them what the doctor did but not why.. he cut my tummy and fixed it or he cut my breast to fix them. I am especially not telling my 6 year old daughter because she is already very into hair and dressing up and I don't think she should know why I am doing this.
OMG my kids went to bed at 8 and woke up at midnight vomiting with the stomach flu. God help me. I spent the past 2 weeks taking vitamins and giving them vitamins and using hand sanitizer to prevent this. I am supposed to be getting a good nights rest. I am up all night caring for them. I made the mistake of saying to my husband
" See I told you I should have done this in the summer but instead I listened to you and scheduled this for when they are back in school where they have been exposed to all these new viruses".. needless to say he was not happy hearing that and let me know it. He said "there is never a good time for a mom to be out of commission for a month". Later I apologized to him and realized maybe all this was happening to distract me from my stress and worry about my surgery tomorrow morning. I am accepting this as a blessing in disguise and leaving all the sheets with vomit in the backyard for my husband to clean. His last words to me were "How do you run the washing machine?"
--Day 1 Aug 24
I know I have chosen the best doctor. I have spent 1 year reading everyone's reviews on real self, I made a 5 page powerpoint presentation of photos for my doctor on what I wanted and questions I had, I had referrals from friends, my dermatologist, yelp, google reviews. Finally I met with 3 doctors and chose Dr. L
In the end my decision was based on the fact that he had the most experience in both BA, BL and TT procedures.. More importantly he was open to meeting me as many times as I wanted and did not rush me. Finally his support staff, who I knew I would rely on greatly, were SOO kind to me and responsive. He is not too young, not too senior so I feel he is keeping up with the latest in his field and yet also has enough experience to do the job right.
All 3 doctors told me I needed a Full TT. All 3 said I needed a FULL donut anchor lift and I should definitely do an implant because otherwise I wouldn't have enough upper pole fullness. All 3 said I was very asymmetrical and my chest wall was higher on my bigger breast so I needed to realize that they could not change my anatomy but would do their best to make me look more even. One doc said he wouldn't do my surgery because when he squeezed my breast a small amount of milk came out (1 year after I finished nursing). My doc is using 4 drains and I chose saline implants because I have enough breast tissue to cover them. Also by using saline, I can have them filled to different levels to even out my asymmetry.
I tried the rice test and thought of getting 280cc but in the office the doc said he thinks I should do 350-380. Now listen, I like to dress up but not to look like a Real Housewife. I also want to be able to run and yet want to no longer pad my bikini tops. All my friends say they wish they had gone bigger (but they started out A cups). Then my hair dresser who has implants and wants them reduced convinced me I should stay on the smaller side. SO I chose 320 and the doc filled 320 on my large breast and 340cc on my small.
--Post OP Day 1
Thank God I chose to stay at the home of a recovery care giver. I can not imagine being home after this. Basically its like having 2 csections. I can handle it. But she is handling all my meds for me. Just like how I relied on the nurse at the hospital after I had my babies. It is costing me $500 a night and I am staying 3 nights. The view is beautiful, room luxurious, food delicious, and my caregiver has been very emotionally supportive.
I don't feel any breast pain, taking hydrocodone and valium. I had much more pain when I came out of C section recovery than I did with this. I was worried I would need moraphine or stronger drugs but the doc was right and what ever they are giving me is enough to manage the pain. I am using a walker, hunched over, propped up in bed. Eating soft scrambled eggs, toast and juice. I am alive! I made it.
--Day 3
I am home today and its so nice be home. Ladies: especially those with young children, let me say I am SO GLAD I scheduled help 10 hours a day for 2 weeks straight. I have my mom come in the evenings to give baths and make dinner and school lunches, by babysitter arrives in the morning to get kids ready for school and stay home all day with my toddler, and then my extra caregiver comes on alternate days to do housework and pickup kids. It is not cheap but to me it is worth it to be able to lie in my lift chair and let my body heal. My house is tidy, kids happy, hubby still gets to go work out and have his own time, and I get to rest. I cant lift my baby to change her diaper, and they are doing all the grocery shopping and errands. The last 2 weeks of my recovery my helpers will go down in hours to 6 hours a day.
I am using my power recliner and it is SO worth it. Another great investment. I also have an over the chair bedside hospital table. I bought all the items for tummy tuck supplies listed on other forums on this website. Was fitted for compression stockings the week before surgery and have on my compression binder given by the doctors office now. (Velcro 3 bands)
First bowel movement was difficult, but took MiraLax every day and a stool softener.
--Day 4
One of my greatest fears has been alleviated. You know how when you come home from having a baby, your older child seems so much more mature and grown up. Well, my 1.5 year old who is always asking for me to carry her said to me today "mommie has ouchie? Momma sit with me?" It was as if she knew I could not carry her and was willing to just sit by my side. She is not sleeping in her bed (I moved her mattress to the floor 1 month before my surgery so that I wouldn't have to lift her out of the crib) I used to have to sing to her and lie next to her to get her to sleep, and since I can not do that, she is sleeping in my bed next to her older sister and next to me in the recliner. Oh well, She is sleeping and that is all that matters now. I am learning that when you have a mommy makeover, you have to let some things just be. I will just have to re sleep train her when I am better. The key is that my family is being very supportive.
Initially my husband was not. He said he loved my body the way it was and didn't understand why I wanted to do this. But he also said he would let me do it if it made me happy. However he never asked me how I was feeling about this surgery and it kind of hurt me because I knew he didn't ask because he was not for the surgery. I bought all supplies, organized all caregiver schedules, cooked all meals and froze them, went to my surgery alone. Now, however, that I am in recovery, he is being very patient, helpful and kind. What a wonderful husband I have for man-ing up and standing by me for a selfish decision of mine.
--Day 5
-I think they are a little too big. I could have gone smaller, but I am telling myself that it takes at least 2 months for them to drop and reduce in size. I guess it will all be okay and I will reserve final judgment until then.
-Doc did a great job with the lift and areola reduction, stitches are barely visible
-I am surprised that my suture line under breast is so long and high up the sides but that is okay
-They turned out as even as I expected. Not perfect but much better than before.
-the scar line is as long as I expected but still shocking to see how long when you see it for the first time
-the scar is a bit higher than I would have wanted, but not as high as some worse case scenarios I saw on other people's photos. I hope I can hide it in a bikini, I think I can. I also recognize that it is still a good tradeoff for no longer having to suck in my belly all the time. Doing your research on RS website is worth it because it sets a level of expectation. I think I would be really depressed if I did not have realistic expectations.
- My tummy is still puffy, but maybe that is after surgery swelling? I wonder why it is still puffy
-Ladies: what do you think of my belly button? Why are the stitches so far away from the button? I can't seem to locate any other umbilicoplasty results that are like mine? Do you think I will have a circular ring scar around my new belly button?
Everyone told me when depression and doubt hits, I should be aware of it and push through. Well, they were right. Today I doubted why I did this to myself. Shouldn't I be grateful for the body God gave me.? Think of people who are suffering or sick and here I am going through all this to look good in a bikini? I also was questioning my faith as a learning Christian and realizing how contradictory my mommy makeover was to my spiritual beliefs. Bibles and boobies? Is that what I am ? What about my daughters what message am I sending them? Everyone always envied my beach body and was amazed how in shape I was after 3 kids, so why did I have to look perfect? Then, I remembered that this is depression and doubt and I need to put it all aside. I need to remember how I didn't like wearing lingerie because of my saggy boobs, and all those times I sucked in my tummy when wearing a tight dress, and padding my bras when I go to work out. I will not worry if other people whisper like I used to "I bet she had a TT and boob job.." I do everything for my family and always put my own needs aside for them, I am done having kids and want to enjoy my body for the next 40 -50 years so I am taking this 1-3months and doing this for myself!
I had my drains out on Day 7 and loved it. Basically the drains don't hurt but are uncomfortable and drag you down. Once they are out it feels like you are starting your recovery mode. Prior you feel like you were just operated on. I took a valium and 2 vicodin and the pain was equivalent to a bikini wax.
PROBLEM: I have developed a water blister from my CG rubbing on my breast. The blister is 2 inches long above my breast bottom suture line. I am worried. I am allergic to Neosporin polysporin so I was told to wash 3x day with hybacleanse and pat dry and use Vaseline and gauze pads to cover it. Becareful with your Compression garments and check your body several times a day and skin to see there are no areas of friction. I was checking 1x a day and could have caught it earlier. Your skin is numb after surgery so you cant feel a problem starting. I felt a little itchy discomfort and when I looked I saw the blister. The doc is seeing me tomorrow.
I am keeping my rating as not sure because of my belly button, blister, and tummy swelling and breast swelling. I think I will change it once I am healed at the 3-6month mark. Then I am very optimistic my rating will be worth it!
ABOUT ME __ 38 year old 5'3" 122 lb mom...
Please tell me what you think of my breast...
2 weeks Post Op I want to have a compression...
I want to have a compression garment bonfire party
I slept without my CG last night... just a treat. Now I have my ace bandage on the top of my breast to push my implant down into the pocket and my bra feels SO tight.. the band part. I took it off today but the nurse said to buy a looser compression sports bra and wear it. So I just bought a Hanes one on Sears.com. I was wearing an underarmour zip front but it had padded molded cups and made me look big.. I want something more breathable.
So I am putting my CG garment back on and just dealing with it. I cant wait to switch to spanx after 4 weeks. I am also bored at home.. I am still not standing upright and am waddling like a penguin. But the doc said thats normal. But I am bored. I had my caregiver drive me to my sisters so my baby could play around and I could lie down and get out of my house. I just cant wait to grocery shop and do laundry again and be a mommy chaueffer! I cant believe I just said that.
Post Op 2.5 weeks It happened.. 2 stitches at...
It happened.. 2 stitches at the T intersection of my lift started working out.. I could feel them and the area around them was not healing nice. My doctor pulled them out and it left an pencil tip eraser size hole. He was very reassuring and told me not to worry and to keep it clean and put vaseline on it.. (since Im allergic to Neosporin polysporin). My sitter had the same thing happend to her scar area and it left her with wide red scars. But I am hopeful that since it was only 1 stitch thus far it will heal okay if I keep after it.
Mobility: I am only taking Tylenol when needed. I am walking around with slouched shoulders and i feel like the string part of a bow and arrow that has been pulled too tight. I look like I am walking around with a stick up my butt since I can not stand totally straight.. I appear to be waddling. This has prevented me from getting out of the car to pick my kids up from school. I am hopeful that by week 4 I will be walking normally with slouched shoulders. I guess I am where I expected to be. My helper is coming 5 days a week but only 11-5.. to unload dishwasher, move trashcans, make beds, help with heavy lifting.. I am washing dishes, changing diapers, prepping breakfast, feeding animals etc... I also am able to have sex with my husband. In a way it is a lot like having sex after you have a baby, and taking it slow. I am still keeping my shirt on since my scars are healing.. but maybe taking it slow and slowly revealing yourself is a good gradual introduction for both us to my new body.
My blister skin came off. so that ugly thing is gone and only left a faint red imprint. I am using scarguard 2x a day, vitamin C lotion on my tummy and breast 1x day as prescribed by doc, and doing breast massage 3x a day for 4 min (which is NOT a massage bu painful manipulation). I am really trying to keep on top of all this to have the best outcome.
What do you think of the transition below and above my tummy tuck at the sides of my body? What about my belly button?

My right breast is soft and dropped, but my left breast the implant is sitting above the pocket and my real breast tissue prior to lift and implant is soft and sitting low, the area above my nipple appears totally planar and flat.. ? What is this? I am doing massage 3x a day. it also feels sore and engorged in the top half.
Also what do you think of my Belly Button scar? the top is nice but the bottom has a raised ring and I am using scar guard and now switching to oleeva scar strips 23 hrs a day.. but I just can not imagine it will fade to skin color?
Good news: I am totally active again.. picking kids up from school running errands etc.. but at end of day my tummy is swollen and my left breast feels engorged and tight. I wear my binder all day and night and wake up flat. I have not started working out again.. I can picture doing that in 3 weeks. The pencil size open wound under my left breast is finally healed using silver niacin.. it took 4 weeks. SO slow. but thank goodness it is closing. i love my new tummy. I really think my breast are overall much improved from my before photos. Yes, I am glad a I did this. I went clothes shopping and everything fit! I like my not too large breasts cuz I can still wear high neck tight shirts and not look top heavy.
I just got back from my 1 month post op. The...
I was instructed to massage OFTEN and wear my compression strap and see him again end of January (in 4 months). I was also told to take Aleve or Cingulair.. I am going to take Aleve 2x a day as an anti inflammatory.
I guess I am just concerned I would need revision surgery done. He thinks my case is moderate and if the breast does not drop I am not such a severe case as to demand surgery. But I REALLY want the breast to drop and will be following all his orders and wishing for the best. (sigh) I wish I could find a compression strap that was better than this ACE bandage.
I interviewed 3 doctors and he was mid priced, but I chose him because he seemed most experienced, caring and knowledgable. His staff was the most attentive and I knew I would be relying on them for my aftercare. I was referred to him by a friend, did my online research and met with him 2x (no cost) for consults. He answered my detailed list of questions with great patience. He has an air of confidence without being cocky. He is also really caring but seems like the kind of person you want in charge of your body when under the knife in a dangerous setting: he would know what to do. I am happy with my choice.

It looks kind of like your swelling is just pushing out your BB and spreading it. I hope your healing continues apace! Please keep posting :D

Your breast are still swollen, it can take at least 4 months or longer for the swelling to go down and for them to drop and be soft. So keep that in mind. I got my bb stitches out on day 14 and a lot of change can happen in just a few days. I think you look great !! Continued Happy Healing.. Keep posting

I love love love your review so far! I'm sorry your kids had the stomach flu the night before your surgery (I'm hoping you never got it) and that your husband took a while to come around. I'm no medical professional, but it looks like you had some definite muscle separation in your stomach and I imagine you'll look much much tighter after you're healed. Please keep us posted!

Works for me as well. Thank you very much Gaston!
or you can just catch the exception, i guess
you don't get errors from handled exceptions and you can also test if the problem is because of different application creating the drawing, or because of the potential errors
Yes, you can trap the COMexception (not a simple Exception), but doing so ( did you?), you still have to set the variable DWGCHECK=2 and try to open the file again in order to get, may be, the drawing opened.
Gaston Nunez
I think that a better aproach is to set DWGCHECK=2, then try to open the drawing as usual, get the drawing opened and check the DwgFileWasSavedByAutodeskSoftware property in order to take some action.
Gaston Nunez
Great! This solved my problem also! Many thanks!!

The Golden Touch
Everything Marta Vieira Da Silva touches seem to turn into either gold or goals. Her football career is unrivalled thus far. She has been named FIFA World Player of the Year for 5 consecutive years from 2006-2010. She helped lead the women's Brasilian National Team to silver medals in 2004 and 2008. And at the 2007 World Cup, she was awarded the Golden Ball (top player) and Golden Boot (top scorer). Born with Brasilian football in her blood, she is often compared to the greatest Brasilian male football legends of all time. Through the years, Marta has taken her skills on a world tour. She started off at Umeå IK – picking up trophies, titles, and fluency in Swedish – followed by Santos in Brasil before joining the WPS in the US with FC Gold Pride in 2010 and Western New York Flash in 2011… But one thing is missing: that Brasilian world title. Marta looks forward to 2015 for that reason and more.

One important prevention tool against sexually transmitted diseases and infections (STDs/STIs) is vaccination. Currently, vaccines are available to protect against infection with HPV, hepatitis A and hepatitis B. Other vaccines are under development, including those for HIV and herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Hepatitis B
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends hepatitis B vaccination for:
Others recommended for hepatitis B vaccine include:
Three or four shots over six months.
The hepatitis B vaccine is safe, and the most commonly reported side effect is soreness at the injection site. Those completing the series have greater than 90% protection against hepatitis B.
Hepatitis A
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends hepatitis A vaccination for:
Others recommended for hepatitis A vaccine:
Two shots, six months apart. A hepatitis A/hepatitis B combination vaccine can also be given to adults. The combined vaccine is given in three doses over six months.
The hepatitis A vaccine is effective and provides long-term protection after the second dose. Soreness at the injection site is the most common side effect reported.
Human papilomavirus (HPV) vaccine
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends HPV vaccination for:
In three doses over six months.
Both the CDC and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration say HPV vaccines are safe. The most commonly reported side effects include pain, swelling, and redness at the injection site. Some patients report fainting, so those receiving the vaccine are encouraged to wait at least 15 minutes before leaving the clinic or medical office.
HPV vaccines currently on the market, Gardasil® and Cervarix®, offer close to 100% protection after three doses against the two types of HPV (called HPV 16 and HPV 18, respectively) that are found in about 70% of cervical cancers. Gardasil® also protects against two additional HPV types that are responsible for approximately 90% of genital warts.
Neither vaccine protects against all types of HPV, so women who are vaccinated still need regular cervical cancer screening (such as Pap tests).

Say no to these rental car sales pitches
Renting a car is simple and cheap. But those counter employees sure make it tough to decline the up-sells and upgrades. Here's why you should.
This post is from Jason Steele at partner site Money Talks News.
My uncle called me from the Denver airport recently. He was about to rent a compact car for his trip to Vail, and the staff at the rental car company insisted that such a car would have trouble driving in the mountains.
I assured him that such advice was nonsense, and recalled that my parents had received the exact same warning the last time they rented a car in Denver.
Rental cars can be ridiculously cheap. I recently rented a car at the Miami airport for a mere $22 a day – less than the cost of renting a bicycle.
Rental car companies buy their vehicles from manufacturers in bulk at ultra-low prices and sell them off a short time later. In the meantime, a car standing still earns nothing. By offering cars at low rates, rental companies seek to make their profits at the counter by aggressively up-selling options and add-ons. In Denver, multiple companies are pushing the fiction that only a larger car can drive uphill, but I've seen other techniques too. Check out the following video with rental car saving tips, then we'll continue the conversation on the other side.
Now, on to more rental car counter pitches you should resist...
1. Insurance. Technically not insurance, rental companies call this coverage "damage waiver." More than likely, your existing insurance covers you in rental cars, so this popular up-sell is often an unnecessary expense. Some credit cards also offer this coverage at no extra charge - check your policy and plastic before you leave home. Why do the counter agents push it so hard? They might be receiving a bonus for the sale. To figure out how profitable this stuff is for rental car companies, simply multiply the daily rate by 365 and compare it to what you normally pay for car insurance. For example, Budget sells their Limited Damage Waiver (LDW) coverage for up to $25.99 a day – $9,486 a year!
2. Class upgrades. In Miami, our family was shown an economy car with a big sign on it recommending that we would need an upgrade to carry much luggage. We did have a lot of luggage, but I still declined the upgrade. We were then given the keys to a full-size car. Even though I always reserve and pay for an economy car, I always decline the upgrade – and I almost never receive a compact! Rental car companies simply don't have many compacts on hand and often upgrade for free.
3. Accessories. It's amazing that a company will rent you a car for $22 a day but charge you another $12 to rent a GPS that you can buy for under $100. The same is true of $13-a-day child safety seats that could be bought for under $50. If you need one of these accessories, take it with you.
4. Fuel service options. My uncle was told that the fuel station across from the rental car center sold fuel for much higher than the prepaid option. This is true, but as in all cities, the gas station near the airport caters only to lost tourists desperate for a quick fill-up before returning their car and catching their flight. Just a few miles down the road, on the way to the airport, were plenty of reasonably priced stations.
I don't begrudge the rental car companies for trying to increase their profits, so long as they do so honestly. As a savvy consumer, you should recognize these attempts for what they are and make the most economical choices with your travel dollars.
