Garth Brooks Joins Justin Timberlake Onstage in Nashville [Watch]
Subscribe to Taste of Country on
Fans who attended Justin Timberlake's concert in Nashville on Friday night (Dec. 19) got more than they bargained for.
Timberlake was performing at the Bridgestone Arena in Music City, and he broke out the acoustic guitar for a cover version of the Garth Brooks classic, 'Friends in Low Places.' Partway through the song, he stopped and said, "Hold on, now something don't feel right, something don't feel right, Nashville."
He then added, "I mean, if you're going to do this — Garth?"
Brooks then entered the stage to the screams of the fans, picking up the second verse as the packed arena went wild. He also led the crowd in a singalong of the song's "lost" verse, which was not featured on the recording, but he sings at his live shows.
Timberlake has made no secret of his fandom for Brooks. He turned up in the front row at Brooks' show at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis on Dec. 4, and the following night in Oklahoma City, he covered 'Friends in Low Places' at his own concert.

Since i came back from my honeymoon in June, i have been working on Saturdays in pharmacies neaer my area. Well, extra pocket money and remind myself of the actual touch of tablets and capsules. I now work in the office and my knowledge of products used for minor illness like sweaty palm, funfal infection has gone rusty. Sometimes i work from 9-1pm and sometimes i work from 9-5pm.
Last saturday, the bank holiday weekend, i worked from 9-5pm. Not as bad as you imagine, it was rather quiet... I surfed the internet most of the time as there were not walk-in customers. I need to put away all the medication that was received by the wholesaler. There i was, putting away medication from A- Z... looking through shelves after shelves of tablets, syrup, cream, and inhalers. Suddenly it occurred to me that i know all these medication, right from A to Z. I was amazed at how much i know. I have forgotten about my capacity.
It's amazing how our thoughts can affect our vision and perspective. As chinese saying, just a difference in thoughts and it will determine whether you are in heaven or hell (paraphrasing it ).
It was a comforting thought.

HEAD COACH Kelly Graves: Kelly Graves is in his seventh season as the head coach at Gonzaga University having built the Bulldogs into an annual West Coast Conference contender. After winning just five games his first season, Graves has guided the Bulldogs to back-to-back West Coast Conference regular-season titles. This past season, Gonzaga finished with a 16-14 overall record and an 11-3 record in the WCC to claim a share of the WCC regular-season title. In 2004-05, GU won its first regular-season title since 1988 when GU posted a 28-4 record and 14-0 mark in the WCC. It was only the second time a school has run the table in the league. Graves was an assistant coach at the University of Portland when the Pilots accomplished the feat in 1997. For his efforts in 2004-05, Graves was named the WBCA Region 8 Coach of the Year and WCC Coach of the Year as Gonzaga ran off a nation's-best 23 game win streak and earned the school's first national ranking. Graves is currently the school's career wins leader with a 111-90 record. He has twice been named the WCC Coach of the Year at Gonzaga (2003 & 2005) and boasts a 177-116 career record including 83-50 in WCC action.
TOP STORY: The Gonzaga University returns to the friendly confines of the McCarthey Athletic Center for two West Coast Conference games this week. The Bulldogs, who are currently first in the WCC standings, opens the second half of WCC play Thursday with a 7 p.m. game against Pepperdine University to be televised on ESPNU, followed by a Saturday visit from Loyola Marymount University at 2 p.m.
SCOUTING THE WAVES: Pepperdine University closed out the first half of WCC play with a 69-60 loss to Santa Clara, and a 76-73 win over Saint Mary's. Daphanie Kennedy returned to the Pepperdine lineup against SCU for the first time since December 21 when she suffered a head injury against San Diego State. Kennedy posted 25 points and 10 rebounds on the week, including 17 points against SMC. Teiosha George recorded the second double-double of her career with a 12-point, 12-board performance against the Broncos.
SCOUTING THE LIONS: LMU split a pair of games last week, dropping a 64-59 decision to Saint Mary's before posting a 67-52 win over Santa Clara. Although Cassady Moore posted a career-high 22 points against Saint Mary's, the Lions shot just 9.1 percent from three-point range, and trailed by as many as 16 points in the loss. Amanda Patton led the way for LMU against SCU, dropping in 17 points on 4-for-6 shooting from beyond the arc. Patton ranks fifth in the WCC shooting 39.7 percent from three-point range. The Lion defense held Santa Clara, the league's top scoring and shooting team, to just 52 points and 34 percent shooting from the field, while forcing 20 Bronco turnovers.
A PERFECT BEGINNING: The Gonzaga University women's basketball team has started the 2007 West Coast Conference schedule on a high note. The Bulldogs are perfect in conference seven games into the schedule. The last time Gonzaga started the WCC season 7-0 was the 2004-05 season when it won the WCC regular-season title with an unbeaten 14-0 record.
SIX DOUBLE-DOUBLES: Stephanie Hawk has helped the Gonzaga University women's basketball team to a great start in West Coast Conference play finishing with double-doubles in six out of its seven WCC games. Hawk scored 12 points with 13 rebounds in GU's 60-56 win at LMU, and followed up that performance with a 15 point, 10 rebound effort in the Zags 58-35 victory at Pepperdine. She then had a career-high 33 points and 11 rebounds in GU's win over Santa Clara and 10 points and 13 boards in a 13-point victory over Portland. Her last two double-doubles were a 20 point, 13 rebound performance against the University of San Francisco and a 16 point, 10 rebound output at the University of San Diego.
BREAKING 1,000: Gonzaga University senior Stephanie Hawk became only the 12th player in women's basketball history to score 1,000 points. Hawk needed just two points going into GU's contest against Santa Clara to eclipse 1,000. She finished with a career and game-high 33 points and now has scored 1,084 points over her career.
LOOKING FOR 600: With her seven rebounds against Davidson College, Gonzaga University women's basketball senior Stephanie Hawk eclipsed the 500 rebound mark for her career. Hawk, who started off the season with 412 career rebounds, now has 583 rebounds to her credit and is looking to be only the 11th player to grab over 600 rebounds and only the sixth player to score 1,000 and pull down 600.
HIGH SCORING AFFAIR: Gonzaga University's 85 points scored in its 85-49 lopsided victory over Saint Mary's on Jan. 13 is the highest Bulldog West Coast Conference scoring game in 28 contests. The last time the Zags scored 85 or more points in conference was their WCC season-opener during the 2004-05 season when it defeated Santa Clara 85-50. The Bulldogs eclipsed its WCC high of 85 points when it scored 87 in their 87-82 win at the University of San Diego on Jan. 27.
A STELLAR COMBINATION: Senior Stephanie Hawk and freshman Heather Bowman combined for 35 of Gonzaga University's 58 points in helping the Bulldogs to a 58-53 victory over the University of San Francisco, Jan. 25. On the season, the dynamic duo are combining for nearly 38 percent (603-1595) of the Zags overall scoring and 46 percent (224-487) of GU's scoring during West Coast Conference games.
TAG TEAM: Senior Stephanie Hawk and freshman Heather Bowman were the strength behind Gonzaga University's 78-73 overtime victory over Santa Clara University on Jan. 11. Hawk and Bowman combined for 42 of GU's 50 points over the second half and overtime session.
TAKING OVER THE GAME: Senior Stephanie Hawk scored 29 of her game and career-high 33 points over the final two periods of Gonzaga University's thrilling 78-73 overtime win against Santa Clara. Her previous career best was 28 scored against Northwestern on Dec. 12, 2005. Hawk's 33 points is the highest individual point total of the season for GU and the fifth-highest point total in Bulldog women's basketball history.
SOLID DEFENSE: Sophomore Jami Bjorklund and senior Katy Ridenour were superb in defending the nation's leading three-point shooter and the WCC's leading scorer Chandice Cronk of Santa Clara University. Cronk, who was averaging 17.8 points per game coming into the contest and 4.0 three-pointers per game, was limited to just one point in Gonzaga University 78-73 overtime victory. Cronk finished 0-6 from the field, including 0-5 from behind the three-point arc. Her only point came when she hit one of two free throws.
FEWEST POINTS ALLOWED: When Gonzaga University earned its win over Pepperdine University on Jan. 7 by limiting the Waves to just 35 points it was the lowest point total the Bulldogs had held a conference opponent to in school history. It also was the second lowest point total allowed by an away team ever in a West Coast Conference game. The lowest point total scored by a home team is 30 scored by Loyola Marymount against San Francisco during the 1988 season.
BREAKING 30: Freshman Heather Bowman paced the Bulldogs to their victory over Eastern Washington University scoring a career-high 32 points on 10-for-17 shooting from the field and 12-for-16 accuracy at free throw line. Her 32 points was the first 30-plus point game since Ashley Burke scored 31 against Montana during the 2003-04 season.
100-POINT EXPLOSION: Gonzaga University edged local rival Eastern Washington University in overtime on Saturday, 103-102, marking the second time this season that a WCC team has eclipsed the 100-point plateau. Saint Mary's scored 100 points in a win over Cal State Northridge on November 24, which was the first time a WCC squad had topped the century mark since San Diego scored 104 points against Portland on February 17, 2005. Loyola Marymount holds the all-time single-game WCC record, dropping in 130 points in a victory over Master's College on November 23, 1990.
SINGLE SEASON RECORDS: Gonzaga University's 103-102 victory over Eastern Washington University, Dec. 9 broke a few Bulldog single-game records. The combined score of 205 is the highest combined total in school history, breaking the old record of 177 scored during a 91-86 loss to Portland during the 1991-92 season. The 33 free throws made by the Zags is the third most scored in a game, while the 45 attempted is the second most attempted.
BJORKLUND CONTINUES TO ROLL: Sophomore Jami Bjorklund, who became the first Gonzaga University player in 13 years to earn All-Freshman team recognition as she was named to the All-WCC Freshman Team a season ago, has continued her strong play as a Bulldog this season. Bjorklund has played in all 23 GU games this season, including 17 starts. She is averaging 9.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. Bjorklund had a career night against #2 University of North Carolina on Nov. 25. She scored a career-high 21 points on 8-for-15 shooting from the field, including a perfect 3-for-3 on three-pointers. Bjorklund bested her career-high at the University of San Diego when she finished with 25 points.
BLOCK SHOT LEADER: Gonzaga University senior Stephanie Hawk tied a career-high with five blocked shots against Davidson, marking the second time this season that she has collected five blocks in game. Hawk, who leads the West Coast Conference with 51 blocks, moved ahead of former Gonzaga standout Juanita Rivera (1991-94) into second place on the GU career blocks chart with 141.
WCC PLAYER OF THE WEEK TIMES THREE: Gonzaga University senior forward Stephanie Hawk has been named the West Coast Conference Player of the Week three times this season. Hawk earned her most recent honor this past week when she helped Gonzaga to a pair of road wins, leading the Zags to sole possession of first place in the conference standings. The senior notched a pair of double-doubles on the week, scoring 20 points with 13 rebounds in Thursday's victory at San Francisco, and pouring in 16 points with 10 boards against San Diego on Saturday, handing the Toreros their first loss in conference play and fourth loss overall. Hawk, who has collected double-doubles in six out of the Bulldogs seven WCC contests, averaged a double-double of 18 points and 11.5 rebounds through the two contests, and pitched in with four assists, three blocks, and three steals. Hawk earned her second honor of the season after scoring 12 points with grabbing 13 rebounds in GU's 60-56 win at LMU, and chipping in 15 points and 10 rebounds in the Zags 58-35 victory at Pepperdine. Hawk also pitched in with seven blocks and three steals in the two wins. Her first Player of the Week nod came on Nov. 13 after she averaged 21.0 points and 8.5 rebounds over the first weekend of the 2006-07 season. Hawk started her senior season off strong scoring 18 points and grabbing eight rebounds in Gonzaga's 57-45 upset over the University of Utah; a 2006 NCAA Tournament Elite Eight Team. She then had a monster game in Sunday's 73-70 victory over UC Davis, as she tallied game-highs of 24 points, nine rebounds, seven assists and four blocks. She also added four steals in the win over the Aggies.
WCC PLAYER OF THE WEEK - TAKE TWO: Gonzaga University women's basketball player Michelle Elliott was named the West Coast Conference player for the week as announced by the conference office Monday, Nov. 28. Elliott continued to lead the Zags, as the junior propelled GU to a 2-2 mark including an upset victory over then-No. 19 ranked UCLA at the Rainbow Wahine Classic. The transfer from San Diego State scored nine points with seven boards in a victory over Portland State on Tuesday before dropping in 20 points with four rebounds and three assists in the win over the Bruins. After a 10 point, five assist effort against No. 2 ranked North Carolina, the junior racked up 19 points with three steals against host Hawai'i on Sunday. For her efforts, Elliott was also named to the all-tournament team.
HAWK AMONG TOP WCC RETURNERS: Gonzaga University senior forward Stephanie Hawk was selected as one of the Top 6 returning players in the West Coast Conference for the 2007 season. Hawk was an All-WCC First Team pick as a junior averaging 12.9 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. In league play, Hawk averaged 12.9 points and 8.1 rebounds per contest. Hawk had a superb season hitting double figures in all but five games, including seven double-doubles. Joining Hawk on the top returning player list are Dominique Carter from the University of San Francisco, Jasmane Clarendon from Pepperdine University, Ashlee Dunlap from Loyola Marymount, Daphanie Kennedy from Pepperdine University and Rachel Warren from the University of Portland.
BACK-TO-BACK TITLES: Gonzaga University became the seventh team to win back-to-back West Coast Conference regular-season titles since the league adopted women's basketball in 1986. Pepperdine and Santa Clara have both accomplished this feat twice while Portland and Saint Mary's have pulled it off once. Only Santa Clara has ever won more than two consecutive WCC regular-season titles, winning four from the 1991-94 seasons.
GONZAGA DOMINATES WCC ATTENDANCE: Gonzaga led the West Coast Conference in attendance for the third-straight season as the Bulldogs averaged 1,250 fans a season ago. GU had more than 1,000 fans at all 13 home games last season including a season-high 2,582 when Gonzaga defeated the University of Portland on Jan. 29. Gonzaga is already off to a strong attendance start as the Bulldogs have drawn an average of 1,502 fans over its 10 home games, including a season-high 3,418 at their game against Arizona State University.
WCC OWNS NO. 1 STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE: A large contributing factor in the WCC's No. 8 RPI ranking is the Conference's schedule strength. According to the Collegiate Basketball News RPI report, the WCC has clearly played the toughest schedule in the country. Gonzaga, well known for playing a demanding non-conference schedule, headlines six WCC schools ranked in the top 70 in the country in schedule strength. The Zags (9), are followed by Loyola Marymount (45), Pepperdine (49), Saint Mary's (52), Santa Clara (67), and San Francisco (70). Portland (129) and San Diego (139) rounding out the rest of the WCC schools, making the league the only Division I conference in the country with all of its member institutions in the top 140 in strength of schedule.
STRONG PLAY: Gonzaga University junior transfer Michelle Elliott has been a strong addition to the Bulldogs squad this season. Elliott has scored in double-figures in 14 out of GU's 23 games, including two 20+ performances. She scored a season-high 22 points in the Zags victory over Sacramento State and currently is third on the team with 11.1 points per game.
FROM BEHIND THE ARC: Gonzaga University senior Katy Ridenour cracked the Bulldogs career three-point Top 10 when she drained three three-pointers against the University of Utah in GU's opening game of the season. Ridenour has now drained 68 three-pointers during her career to stand in eighth place.
A HUGE WIN: Playing against its first ranked opponent of the season, the Gonzaga University women's basketball team showed what it was made of by defeating the 19th ranked UCLA Bruins 62-57 in the first round of the Hawaiian Airlines Rainbow Wahine Tournament. It was the Zags first victory ever over a Top-25 team. The Bulldogs currently are 1-11 against ranked opponents.
ZAGS FACED NATION'S BEST IN HAWAII: Gonzaga University took the stage with two of the nation's best programs when it played in the Hawaiian Airlines Rainbow Wahine Classic over Thanksgiving weekend. The Bulldogs defeated 2006 second round participant UCLA in their first contest of the tournament and advanced to the semifinals to play the University of North Carolina; a 2006 Final Four participant.
BULLDOGS AND THE 3-POINTER: In the Bulldogs final home game in the Martin Centre, Gonzaga witnessed its consecutive game streak with a three-pointer made come to an end against the University of San Francisco. That 0-for-6 performance against the Lady Dons ended a 222 game streak in which the Bulldogs had made at least one 3-pointer in a game. The streak started after the Bulldogs went 0-for-10 against the University of San Diego on Feb. 17, 1996. Gonzaga rebounded from that performance to knock down seven three-pointers in each of its next two games and has extended its current streak to 90 games. The Bulldogs record for three-pointers made in a game is 14 against UC Riverside on Dec. 31, 2001. Gonzaga has recorded 17 games with 10 or more three-pointers made since the three-point basket was incorporated into the college game including a 13 three-point performance against Santa Clara to open West Coast Conference play during the 2004-05 season.
SPOTTING THE OPEN PLAYER: Rachel Kane dished out a game-high six assists in Gonzaga University's win over the University of San Diego, bringing her team-high assist total to 80 on the season. The junior currently ranks fourth in the West Coast Conference with 3.48 assists per game, and is helping the Bulldogs average 16.1 assists per contest as a team; best in the WCC.
A CAREER NIGHT: Sophomore Maria Hassett had a career night against No. 13 Arizona State University. Hassett finished the contest scoring a career-high 11 points. She was 5-of-7 from the field, including a perfect 1-of-1 from behind the three-point arc. Hassett, who played 16 minutes, also grabbed four rebounds, had two steals and blocked one shot.
HOME RADIO AVAILABLE: Gonzaga University will have all regular-season home games broadcast on the radio this season as Steve Myklebust returns for his third year of calling the action. Each game will be broadcast on KGA 1510 AM in Spokane with a pre-game show 20-minutes prior to tip. Games will also be available on the internet with live audio streaming on www.GoZags.com.

If you are having a caesarean....(188 Posts)
I've just made up a 'hints and tips' list for my friend who is having a caesarean soon (I've had two) if you want me to e-mail it to you let me know!
I had a really straightforward c section recovery even though mine was unplanned. Afterwards there was nothing I would describe as acute pain. It was more a sort of odd feeling in the whole abdominal region. My belly suddenly without a baby in it felt like a big wobbly jelly strapped to my front, my abdominal muscles felt weak and I was conscious of the incision area as a sort of nagging twinge on movement, a bit like when you have an exercise injury you're trying not to strain. Sitting up in bed is the most difficult thing. The reclining bed in the hospital really helps. But to put it into perspective the shredded blistered nipples I got from breastfeeding were 10 times worse in terms of discomfort.
I was tired (2 days without sleep) but running on adrenaline. I think it didn't occur to me that there were things I couldn't manage to do so I just carried on as normal. Section Sunday evening, walking 6 hours later, showered myself midday Monday and walking around as normal, doing laundry on Wednesday, on hands and knees scrubbing poo out of the carpet on Friday. In hindsight I wonder if that was wise, in fact the last one is positively stupid, but I did feel back to normal incredibly quickly.
The worst things for me were the extreme constipation and very swollen feet and legs. If I ever have another c section I will be overdosing on dried fruit, drinking litres of water and refusing painkillers with codeine. It was not fun. The swollen legs disappeared after about 10 days. Elevating them helped temporarily.
To be that's what "rough" felt like. Hope that helps.
Everyone with c section experience is saying that they felt "rough" afterwards. Can you elaborate on what you mean?
nauseous? Dizzy? hungover? headache? fatigue?
Fantastic thread, def worthy of bump! Only wish I'd had this advice before my EMCS! Making lists as we speak!
Bump for the really useful tips, hoping to avoid a CS but it's great to be prepared.
Can I add some things to the 'before' the c-section from a medical perspective?
Please take off all your nail varnish and make up before coming to theatre. You can always put it back on again on the ward for photos, but in an operating theatre where things can go wrong, it's a bad idea.
Also for the love of God please don't get a spray tan - or any kind of all over tan! It's a really stupid thing to do.
Leave any jewellery at home. I would hate to think any of my colleagues are thrives, but in a rush things do tend to go walkies.
If we tell you not to eat, we really do mean it! We are nice people honestly! We wouldn't be so strict on the not drinking/eating if it wasn't so necessary.
Lastly . . Don't be shy or embarrassed. We really are unshockable! We have seen and done a lot of difficult/ funny/ bizarre/ sad / unbelievable things. We only want to help you, so talk to us!
Good luck!
I agree with the pads thing. You will still bleed lots even if you don't go into labour. Don't take the pack of pads out of your bag and leave them at home. Doh!
My stuff arrived today. Now have peppermint oil capsules, windeze, flip flops & sports bottle. Also have a mountain more pads. I feel more prepared. Thanks everyone who suggested stuff.
Do not allow your dh to talk you into helping him rearrange the living room furniture less than 4 weeks post cs.
I second whoever said that if you jyst get on with it people think that you can do more than you actually can. I was carrying on as normal after a few weeks then ended up in lots of pain again.
This thread is great. My elcs is 3 weeks today. I've been online & ordered lavender oil, peppermint capsules, windeze, new flip flops, a really long cardigan (in place of a dressing gown) and a sports bottle.
I feel more relaxed knowing I have this stuff coming.
Thank you.
I was wondering the same about the postnatal girdle or support belt. Anyone?
Also what is best oil for treating the scar? Anyone tried dermafix? It's been recommended to me. Or bio oil? Or someone even said boots protect and perfect serum!
Sorry - mean a postnatal girdle obviously…..
Brilliant brilliant thread! Can I ask if anyone has used a prenatal girdle after a c section? Looks like they offer lots of support and make you feel a bit more secure but haven't heard anyone mention it yet. Having CS in 4 weeks, can't wait to see my twins!
Angelina sounds like my hospital. My c section is in the morning and pleased to have found this thread... Message being sent to hubby immediately regarding a few items. Am super nervous as it's first c section.... Excited too though.
Anyway thanks to all the contributors, very very helpful thread
Thanks for this thread. I am 4-5 weeks away from my third Cs, and though some things are different where I live, this thread is helpful esp. for things I've forgotten (like massive lochia in the shower). (Differences include hospital bags, for instance - the hospital where I give birth provides nighties, pads, plush bath gowns, slippers, baby nappies, clothes, etc.; you can only bring toiletries, if you wish. Plus no food except a couple of biscuits, tea, apple juice and prunes for 2 days, which is tough, and you can't bring in food from outside. Hospital stay is 5 days w/ a Cs, and only on the third day do they bring you food, which is actually very nice. The baby is only brought to you a little at a time in the beginning, unless you ask otherwise. Etc.)
Anyway, I cannot stress enough the importance of walking as soon as possible, and as much as you can afterwards. Cs1 was tough, I barely got up, stayed in bed a lot and only fully recovered over a month later. Cs2, got up some 9 hours after, kept moving, showering, etc. (resting as well, of course), and it hurt infinitely less (only paracetamol after day 3), plus I was practically normal 5 days later.
Cannot emphasize this enough, the experiences were worlds apart. No depression the second time around, no crankiness, joy galore even though baby No.2 was/is as demanding as they make them.
As cheesy as it sounds, not feeling scared and sorry for yourself makes a massive difference as well.
Thank you so much for this. I'm 6 weeks pregnant with dc2 and it's quite likely I will be opting for a c-section. I've really struggled to get my head around it but this has really helped. Thank you.
Bumping for others as I've found this so useful, might be needing a section in a couple of weeks and terrified!
Thanks so much for bumping! Have my section on weds due to baby being breech. Had pre op today but these tips are invaluable! Thank you!
It must vary by area redwelly, as I had a c-section a few weeks ago and was told to shave beforehand.
Some of this info is out of date. For example my recent CS info pack says NOT to shave beforehand because this can be a cause of infection.
Brilliant thread with some invaluable advice! I'm unsure if I'm having a c section but it is looking more and more likely so after being adament about a natural birth all along this has really helped me to plan and prepare!!
Lots of great advice here already. I've had three C-sections, here are my tips. .
Water bottles with sports caps to drink from whilst laying down.
Buzz, buzz, buzz that buzzer. Don't try to stretch to lift baby from cot. I even asked mws to change baby's nappy when no relatives were there to help me.
After a few days, a dressing gown cord tied to the end of the bed to help you pull yourself up to sitting.
Don't rush to go home. I recommend pushing to stay a third night.
I'm seriously thinking about paying for a cleaner if there is a next time. Like an earlier poster, I really struggle to leave little jobs and actually can't relax very well.
The day of the surgery is a shock but spinal and top up drugs, as well as not being allowed out of bed, make it ok.
Day 2 is always the worse for me, the day they get you up.
Each day after that gets slightly easier.
The first week is pretty hellish so just do nothing. Improved slightly once stitches are removed (approx day 5).
The second week is still tough but after that it gradually begins to improve.
After about five weeks I feel back to normal.
Hope that adds some helpful tips to the already great advice on here.
a light diet afterwards helps. I survived on having 2 pieces of brown bread with frozen boiled vegs with loads of spinach added to it. I had it together with the water it was cooked in. anything heavy gave me a tummy ache.
Bumping this for anyone due soon.
I'm having a section in 2 weeks, its very handy x
re getting up - its very common to faint or feel light headed when you first get up - so do make sure you have your DH and a care assistant or two really helping you to a chair first. if you can do that - then aim for bathroom.
they tried to push me to bathroom and i said i wasnt ready - so instead got a chair right by bed for me - good job, seconds later i was passed out.
please dont push yourself on moving, wiggle toes in bed -raise up legs rotoate ankles....sqeeze all muscles you can - wave arms around.
a MW came round to me and got me to turn on my side - i tweaked something and got horrific side pains since...other ladies on ward all had really nasty deliveries - emergency sections - they were more mobile and in less pain than me ebcayse of this stupid woman,
there is encouraging movement and stupid movement.
move gently in your bed - but dont attempt a fulll side turn!
the babies that cried all night on the ward were the ones that werent fed. if baby cries - feed feed feed.
if you can wedge pillows round you - bars up on bed, sleep with baby if you feel safe to do so...much much much easier - not offically recomened but loads of MW saw us and said nothing. i got myself into a postion where literally neither of us could move an inch.
check what medication they will give you if breast feeding a few people have been told can only have certian things ,....
oramorph is available for break through pain, its not the same as the other drugs they give you - so you can have it in between the other drugs.
be aware - often one mw will come round and tell you one thing then another will come round and say excalty the opposite!!!
I'm having a casaerian in 10 days and this is the best thread ever. Thank you all.

Like you have just skimmed through a magazine that speaks your style language? Maybe lingered past a delicious shop window where EVERYTHING just seems to scream your name?

I hunted for the designer of the gorgeous simple, wearable clothing and smiled a little when I realised it was their "in house" brand. Luscious clothing made of cashmere, merino and and silk. "This is the biz", I thought. "These Mondegreenians know what they are doing!!"
And they do! But so often lingering on delicious sites like this, is simply an act of subtle torture. We all know that "good stuff" costs more than "not so good stuff".

Is Your Infant or Child at Risk for Ear Infection?
Question: ______________ is a risk factor for ear infections in infants.
- A. Diarrhea
- B. Bottlefeeding
- C. Premature birth
- C. Being first born
Question: ______________ is a risk factor for ear infections in infants.
Middle ear inflammation is also called otitis media. Otitis media is inflammation of the middle ear; however, many doctors consider otitis media to be either inflammation or infection of the middle ear, the area inside the ear drum (tympanic membrane - see illustration). "Otitis" means inflammation of the ear, and "media" means middle. This inflammation often begins with infections that cause sore throats, colds or other respiratory problems, and spreads to the middle ear. Infections can be caused by viruses or bacteria, and can be acute or chronic. Both ears can be infected at the same time (double ear infection). These infections are not "swimmers ear" (also termed otitis externa or outer ear infection because it occurs in the ear canal up to the ear drum), but not beyond. However, some people can have swimmer's ear and a middle ear infection at the same time.
Acute middle ear infections usually are of rapid onset and short duration. They typically are associated with fluid accumulation in the middle ear together with signs or symptoms of infections in the ear in addition to a bulging eardrum usually accompanied by pain or a perforated eardrum, often with drainage of purulent material (pus, also termed suppurative otitis media). The person also may have a fever.
Chronic middle ear infections are a persistent inflammation of the middle ear, typically for a minimum of three months. This is in distinction to an acute ear infection that usually lasts only several weeks. Following an acute infection, fluid (an effusion) may remain behind the ear drum (tympanic membrane) for up to three months before resolving. It may develop after a prolonged period of time with fluid (effusion) or negative pressure behind the eardrum (tympanic membrane). This type of infection can cause ongoing damage to the middle ear and eardrum, and there may be continuing drainage through a hole in the eardrum. Chronic middle ear infections often starts painlessly without fever. Ear pressure or popping can be persistent for months. Sometimes a subtle loss of hearing can be due to chronic middle ear infections.

LASG Now Accepts 70 Years Retirement Age For Professors In LASU
School news updates reaching us confirms that the Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode signed a bill into law, which converted the Lagos State University (LASU) to a residential institution and approved 70 years retirement age for professors of the institution.on Tuesday in Lagos.The law, LASU (Amendment) Bill 2015, also approved a five-year single term for the Vice-Chancellor of the University.
Ambode, while signing the bill into law at the State House, Ikeja, said it was aimed at raising the standard of the school to an enviable position. and also to make it a school that people would be proud of.According to him, changes will begin to happen in the school in the next few days.
The Deputy Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, Mr Wasiu Eshinlokun-Sanni, said the law was amended to address the acrimony that arose during the tenure of Prof. John Obafunwa as Vice-Chancellor of the school.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) , had engaged in a running battle with Obafunwa, the immediate past vice-chancellor. The union wanted the school to approve 70 years as retirement age for professors, single term of five years for Vice-Chancellor, among others.
Eshinlokun-Sanni said the major reform of the law was approving a five-year single term for the Vice-Chancellor of the school in order to prevent the crisis often encountered when the Vice Chancellor's position runs for two terms.
"Another major reform in the law is converting LASU to residential, while the retirement age of professors of the institution will now be 70 years instead of the usual 65 years," turning the school to residential would help in mitigating incessant clashes between students of the school and residents of Iba community.

Hi, fellow porn-lovers! It's the last week in 2008, so I thought instead of our usual weekly update, I'd also give you some of the highlights of the best new sites listed at Gaydemon for 2008. For starters, although it's not a site, the Gaydemon blogs increased the size of our blog pics and added 2 video blogs per week, and I know regulars here were happy about that! Now let's get to some of the best of 2008!
BigKugels Vintage Erotica & Nude Photography is one of the Gaydemon reader favorite sites of the year. It's not only one of the best vintage gay sites around but it's free AND isn't just a collection of pics - it includes facts about the content, the studios and the photographers of the times. An absolute must-see whether you're turned on by men of porn's yesteryears or you're an avid porn historian!
One of the largest free sites around is Boy Collector. While the galleries don't feature series pics, if you're looking for over 2500 free twink pics, this is the place to check. And if you're into arabic men and have a Cyberage pass, Arab Gay World offers 200 pics of middle-eastern men.
One of my favorite new sites listed at Gaydemon is Butch Dixon, a site dedicated to masculine hairy men. The content here is 100% exclusive, the men are hot and the videos and pics are good quality. Overall, Butch Dixon is off to a great start and we expect to see good things from this site in 2009.
Another site I thought had an outstanding debut is On the Hunt, a site that takes guys who meet up on Man Hunt and hook them up to do a video together. The videos are directed by actual pornstars, and the site was first listed here with over 50 videos, which is very nice for a new site. I like the men, the action and the downloadable exclusive movies. We'll definitely be visiting this site in 2009 for an update.
Last summer brought a new BDSM site to gay porn, and it rocks! It's called Bound Gods and it not only features some of the hottest porn and BDSM stars, but the content quality is very good stuff as is the very real BDSM action. Not for the faint-hearted, this site stands above other professionally-made gay bondage and discipline sites and is a personal favorite here at Gaydemon.
There are many more excellent sites that first listed on Gaydemon this year, but these are highlights of some that stood out for us. If you want to see more of the best, be sure and check out the Top 10 most popular sites on Gaydemon!
Happy New Year and happy porn surfing from all of us here at Gaydemon

Oh, for the days of Jimmy Carter
Jim Thompson

Everyone wrings their hands over the cost of health care, comparing the costs in the United States to lower costs elsewhere. Some of this is attributed to our litigious society, and I agree that a portion of our health care cost structure is attributable to this largely American condition.
I think the solution mostly lies elsewhere, however.
We tend to think that health care must be highly regulated in order to be safe. We blindly believe federal, state and local ordinances are necessary to assure your safety in a hospital. We accept inefficiencies in the system because we think this makes the system safer. This is not correct.
According to the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade (www.hospitalsafetygrade.org), 440,000 people per year in America die from hospital errors (2013 data). This compares to 33,636 people killed with guns in 2013 (CNN), which includes suicides.
There are many other matters related to human health that we allow to happen in a competitive manner with, in some cases, fairly light regulation. Restaurant dining is an excellent example. The CDC reported in 2013, there were "818 food-borne disease outbreaks, 1,062 hospitalizations, 16 deaths and 14 food recalls."
This is not just restaurants, this is all food.
Another area with light regulation (on price, not safety) is the airline industry. In 2013, air carriers, including commuter airlines, recorded 39 deaths (NTSB). Almost any endeavor is safer than going to a hospital. And speaking of airlines, good old Jimmy Carter deregulated them with a stroke of a pen when he signed the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978. This freed up the carriers to set competitive prices, which have been the best thing to ever happen to air travel.
Air travel compared to those days is dirt cheap now, hence everyone flies. Jimmy followed that up by inking the Motor Carrier Act of 1980, which did the same thing for over-the-road trucking, which, again, has opened the floodgates for the delivery of goods from distant places. There were 3,964 fatalities involving large trucks in 2013 (NHTSA data).
A common cry concerning health-care is that the profit motive of the insurance companies causes the high prices. This is true to a certain extent, but what appears to be more of a problem is the formula-driven costs for everything from hospital beds to surgeries to hospital toilet paper (which I am convinced they pick up at a dollar store and charge $3 for it at the hospital).
In most cases, when a hospital wants to add beds or services, competing hospitals in the area are allowed to file protests and call for hearings. This is nothing but restraint of trade and in nearly any other business would be the cause for the opening of an anti-trust case. It certainly does not make the hospital experience any safer (see above).
Then, hospitals and insurance companies work from schedules of codes that price everything in a way that is not competitive. This is all done in the name of tradition and safety. On top of this, the user of the services of a hospital, you, has no say in the cost of the services. Again, this is accepted in the name of safety.
We need to have sweeping deregulation in health care, as in the days of Jimmy Carter. Let every hospital build as many beds and surgeries as they want. Allow them to buy all the CAT Scan and MRI machines they can stuff in their basements.
Then, we need a pricing mechanism that fosters competitiveness. It works this way. You have a lump in your throat. Your insurance company asks for three diagnosis. All three come back with throat cancer. Each hospital provides a fixed bid on what they charge for a regimen of treatment with a 99-percent chance of success. Your insurance carrier picks the lowest and there you go.
Another way to do it is for the insurance company to have a schedule of what they will pay for treatment for your diagnosis. They write you a check for that amount. You decide what to do with it – get the problem treated, go on a last fling vacation, whatever.
What I have suggested is borne out in plastic surgery. Plastic surgery regimens are some of the least expensive procedures available. Why? Because the patients, not insurance companies, pay for them. What is the death rate? One in 5,000. Or to make it apples to apples, 2.2 billion people would have to have plastic surgery in order for plastic surgery to achieve the same death rate as a regular hospital stay (reference – there were 23.5 million hospital stays in the U.S. in 2104 which works out to about one death by error for each 50 stays).
So, let's summarize the 2013 data once again:
Death by hospital errors – 440,000 (approximately one per each 50 stays).
Death by guns (including suicides) – 33,636.
Death by large truck – 3,964.
Death by flying – 39.
Death by plastic surgery – 1 in every 5,000 procedures.
We have managed to concoct the most expensive, least effective and least safe system to procure and administer health care in the world. It needs fixing – but a real fix will involve less government involvement, not more.

Update Just saw yesterday where drug overdoses exceed gun deaths in the US. Where is the liberal outrage ?

Jim I don't have any suggestions on the health care industry now. Too convoluted to address here at this time. Perhaps in the future after further research I will write an opine. But it does lead me to comment on "highly regulated". Take for example the tragedy in Oakland this past week. Zoning and use permits are somewhat highly regulated in major urban areas. The city was aware of problems yet did not follow thru. The City is aware there many more of these makeshift live work spaces. But with 12,000 commercial buildings and only six enforcement staff, none of which are firemen, the task is daunting. Unfortunately, 36 talented young people lost their lives. Budget priorities over public safety first is a path to disaster.

GG--If we unchain hospitals so they can be efficient and competitive, ERs can be paid for with a service charge on each stay, something like the TSA charge on airline tickets now. I think the savings will be so large that we won't even notice the ER charge. If the airlines are a good proxy for hospitals, and it seems they may be, we should be able to drop healthcare costs to (not "by") 10 - 15% of what they are now That is what happened to airline ticket prices when measured in constant dollars.

Interesting column. I think Carter gets a bum rap. Like Hoover, much was beyond his control. Was he a great President? No. But as stated by Mr. Thompson, some of his actions still benefit us today. A side note - the biggest opponents of the airline deregulation were the major airlines themselves. Before 1978, they had complete market domination and cozy deals with the government. Of course, some might argue that deregulation led to an end of the "jet set". To compete, services like in-flight meals, free baggage, extra leg room and other perks were cut or eliminated all together. I agree with Jim. Open it up, let the consumer pay for what he wants, and make it easier for middle class Americans to fly. Can that translate to health care? Maybe. The big question I have is how do we deal with the cost shifting? The uninsured inevitably will end up in an emergency room for routine care. Guess who pays the bill? Not them. Those who have insurance do, in the form of ever increasing premiums. There's the rub and a workable solution has been hard to find. Sorry for the column-like response.

Friendship is one of life's most essential and rewarding forms of interactiona feature of every culture that most persons experience daily. While most research efforts on friendship have concentrated on such issues as peer acceptance and dyadic properties, there has been little exploration of friendship's role in a child's social and emotional growth. The Company They Keep provides a forum in which a group of internationally recognized scholars presents the major conceptual issues, themes, goals, methodological strategies and findings from their research on friendship. Contributors explore a variety of topics, including cultural variations in childrens' and adolescents' friendships, the association between friendship and cognitive and personality development, the effect of friendship on adjustment, and the links between experience within the family and relationships with friends.

Posted by James on March 05, 2015
So, March has finally arrived, signalling the start of spring. With warmer weather just around the corner, it's a great time to think about your next pair of sunglasses.
The question is: How do you go about finding the right sunglasses for you?
There's a good reason why sunglasses come in literally thousands of different design and color combinations: Different people like different things. As a result, no single design or color is going to suit everyone.
It's easy to make a mistake and buy sunglasses based on how they look on a friend or maybe a celebrity. The challenge with that approach is that what looks great on one person, may be a bad choice for another. For instance, I love the John Lennon style sunglasses, (also known as Teashades), but my facial shape means they just don't suit me. Lennon looked super cool in them, and I looked like a total dork.
A popular way to help you find the correct design of sunglasses, is to look at designs, which are the opposite of the shape of your face.
For example:
In general, people with darker hair and complexion (like my wife) look great with darker frames and lenses. Those with lighter hair and complexion are usually best suited to lighter colors; mid browns and yellows.
Of course, these suggestions are very general. The most important thing when purchasing your sunglasses (other than making sure they offer great UV protection) is that you like them. You need to feel good wearing them and no one knows what's right for you, better than you do.
Don't forget, CTS Wholesale Sunglasses is here 365 days a year, to help retailers provide high quality products to their customers. If you're a retailer and you would like to know more, simply click here.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Season 7Edit
"Jesus Gonna Be Here"Edit
While at home with Adilyn, Andy gets a phone call from Jason who tells him about the attack and Tara's death. He walks out of the house, ready to help others and tells Jessica about Tara's death and also tells Adilyn not to invite her in on any circumstance. Andy is also told by Bill that the vampires will live in a secluded nest together and he teams up with Bill to track down the missing people, including Holly and Arlene. They later go to an abandoned storage unit and discover it's a vampire nest, and continue searching until they found a few dead bodies hanging upside down, which makes Andy sick. They are stopped by protesters who threaten too shoot Bill for being a vampire. Andy, however manages to trick them into giving them their gun and turns it around to them and tell them to go away because "taking a human life is much worse than a vampire's". Bill thanks Andy, who rejects his thanks and tells him to leave town if he knows what's good for him. ("Jesus Gonna Be Here")
"I Found You"Edit
Andy, Sam, Jason, and Kenya are outside of the church the following day discussing on where the H-Vamps could be with the captives. Sookie tells them that she found a dead girl in the woods last night and perhaps they could search her body to get any clues on where the H-Vamps were last. Andy tells Kenya to stay at the station while Sookie takes Alcide, Sam, Jason and Andy to the body in the woods. In the woods Andy and Jason search the girl and retrieve her wallet. They then find out she's from the next town over called "Saint Allis". While Sam tries calling the mayor Andy tries calling the Sheriff's Station in Saint Allis, however it rings continuously with no answer. The group decides then to take a road trip to the town.
Andy and Jason carpool over to Saint Allis with the Sam, Sookie, and Alcide. In Saint Allis they discover that the town is deserted and find all the windows to be boarded up with SOS and help signs tagged everywhere. Sookie then finds a massive hole in the ground and brings it to everyone's attention. They then see everyone in the town is dead when they find hundreds of bodies dumped in the massive hole. When Andy returns to Bon Temps that night he discovers Jessica Hamby was invited in his home and that Adilyn was missing. After almost attacking Jessica he's tackled down and Jessica tells him she is going to help him find his daughter. ("I Found You")
"Fire in the Hole"Edit
Andy and Jeesica arrive at the Police Station to help Adilyn and Wade Cleary out of a cell they were placed in by Vince and his Posse. Andy, Jessica and the two teens then go to Jason's home to tell Jason that they believe Sookie might be in danger since the Vigilantes are hunting anyone who's different. Andy tells his daughter and Wade to stay in Jason's house while Andy, Jason, Violet, and Jessica go to find Sookie. They come across Sam's abandoned truck in the middle of the road and are then confronted by Vince's Gang. In a stand off Maxine Fortenberry in anger shoots Jessica in the shoulder and Violet kills her. As the Posse scatters Andy tells Violet to grab Rocky Cleary and bring him back alive.
Andy and his group show up again to Save Sookie and Bill from being attacked by H-Vamps. Only to loose Alcide when he's shot in the head by two of Vince's guys hiding in the bushes. ("Fire in the Hole")

VOORHEES, N.J. -- Philadelphia Flyers coach Ken Hitchcock is
angry. He says his players are being slashed in the back of their
legs by the Tampa Bay Lightning, and he won't keep quiet about it.
Hitchcock responded Thursday to a rant a day earlier by John
Tortorella in which the Lightning coach told Hitchcock to stop
yelling at Tampa Bay players and to "shut his yap'' during the
Eastern Conference finals.
After reserving comment Wednesday, choosing instead to tell
Tortorella to "mind his own business," Hitchcock shed some light
on what angered him.
Hitchcock contends his players were whacked in the back of the
legs as they returned to the Philadelphia bench -- out of the play
and not anticipating contact. No penalties were called on this
infraction in Game 2.
"If you're going to hit people, hit them from the front or hit
them from the side," Hitchcock said after a warmup skate before
Game 3 on Thursday night. "There is one thing that upsets the
bench and the coaches, it's happened two or three times against
this team, and it's very, very upsetting.
"We don't like it, so we're not going to sit there and quietly
watch it. It has no place in the game and it is a very, very
dangerous play."
Tortorella declined comment after the Lightning skated Thursday
morning but 40-year-old captain Dave Andreychuk said the
accusations are minor.
"It happens every game, both sides," said Andreychuk, who made
his NHL debut in 1982. "The only way it didn't happen is in the
early '80s when the benches were across the ice from each other.
"I think it's blown out of proportion. I don't know if the
coach is trying to take pressure off his team."
The Flyers played a physical second-round series against
Toronto, but Hitchcock wasn't bothered nearly as much by the Maple
Leafs' hits because they came face to face.
Hitchcock playfully said he didn't remember who the offending
Lightning players were. Flyers forward Mark Recchi said he wasn't
aware of it, while teammate Branko Radivojevic said he knew who did
it but wouldn't name names.
"We'll take the slash, we'll take the power play," Radivojevic
At the start of a session with reporters Wednesday, before the
Lightning flew to Philadelphia, Tortorella lashed out at Hitchcock.
"We know Hitch is going to be talking about anything that's on
his mind and will talk to anybody who'll listen to him as far as
some of the dialogue that goes on within a series. We accept
that," Tortorella said. "When a coach starts bringing that
dialogue onto the ice, behind the bench, more or less bringing that
dialogue within the opposing team's players, it's wrong.
"Last time I looked, he's wearing a suit back there, the same
type of suit I'm wearing. He's not in the battle. There are two
quality teams here. He should shut his yap. It's not about him.
It's about two quality teams."
Hitchcock said Tortorella voiced similar rhetoric in December.
"The next conversation will be 'The lowly Tampa Bay Lightning
against the mighty Philadelphia Flyers,'' Hitchcock said. "We've
seen it before, we understand what's happening."
The teams split the first two games of the best-of-seven series,
with the Flyers winning 6-2 in Game 2.
Recchi wasn't aware Hitchcock was yelling at the Lightning since
the taskmaster coach is usually yapping at his own team. He has
learned to tune it all out.
"I didn't hear a thing," Recchi said. Hitchcock's response:
"Good for him."
Hitchcock said he won't stifle his remarks, especially about a
subject that clearly upsets him, and he won't seek help from
"They've got enough of a job to do right now," he said.
"We'll take care of our own."
When it was suggested a curtain separate the benches, Hitchcock
said: "I hope not. I want to see what's going on over there."

Academic Honors: Admitted to Phi Beta Kappa Society as an undergraduate, elected into Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society as a Junior medical student. Awarded Julius M. Goodman Scholarship in Neurosurgery as a senior medical student.
What attracted you to our residency program? The large number of faculty who now dedicate themselves to the education of residents trained at many of the most respected residency programs in the country. The high volume and range of cases that are performed offer an amazing clinical learning environment. With many of the faculty also participating and actively leading ambitious clinical research projects, there is great opportunity for clinical research. Finally, the city of Charlotte, itself, as a medium-large metropolitan area offers a great place to live with much to do in town and is just a few hours from both ocean and mountains.
What have you enjoyed most so far? The early clinical experience has been invaluable and the faculty have all proven to be very excited about having residents and teaching. Carolinas Medical Center is a wonderful place to work as a resident with immense resources, a high level of resident support, and very helpful and skilled hospital staff from nurses to surgical techs. The numerous midlevel providers have also proved a highly valuable resource to my education and adjustment to the hospital.
What are your personal hobbies? I enjoy spending time with my wife exploring the city's restaurants and parks, as well as rock climbing at a local indoor climbing gym, hiking and mountain-biking.

What attracted you to our residency program? The operative experience first and foremost attracted me to this residency program. There are very few residency programs that offer the volume and complexity of cases that Carolinas Medical Center (CMC) provides. The amount of responsibility and autonomy given to me as an intern has helped me strengthen my clinical decision making as well as develop my technical surgical skills. The surgeons at CMC have trained all over the country and are highly involved in regional and national organized neurosurgery societies. When searching for residency programs, I knew I wanted a program with high-level training as well as a program that would be conducive to having a life and hobbies outside the hospital. The faculty at CMC are family oriented and encourage a positive work-life balance.
What have you enjoyed most so far? I have really enjoyed the work environment at CMC. The faculty and staff promote a collaborative team environment but encourage residents to have primary direction of patient care. Furthermore, the faculty, staff and residents have a great relationship and residents are treated extremely well by the hospital staff and administration. The city of Charlotte is incredibly friendly and welcoming which has made it very easy to make friends. There is an endless amount of entertainment and activity to take advantage of from mountain biking and great hiking trails to walking food tours and free concerts. There is always something new and fun to do in the city. We have really enjoyed trying all of the great local restaurants and breweries. There are also a lot of great cities within a short drive of Charlotte. We have already made weekend trips to Charleston, Asheville and Savannah.
What are your personal hobbies? My fiance and I try to stay as active as possible. We enjoy road cycling on the weekends, running, walking our dog Henry, snow skiing in Park City and traveling when possible. We also have enjoyed checking out the U.S. National Whitewater Center, located 20 minutes from uptown Charlotte, which has kayaking, zip lining, ropes courses and whitewater rafting. We bought a house in Charlotte and enjoy hosting cookouts with our friends and residents from other programs. Being from Indiana, I am a die-hard IU basketball and Colts fan.

What attracted you to our residency program? I was fortunate enough to have done a month long sub-internship at Carolinas Medical Center prior to applying. This allowed me to experience first-hand how special the training environment is within the program. I was captivated by the infinite learning opportunities available to me. This training program is unique in that it entails one of the largest, most respected private practice neurosurgery groups in the country operating in a level 1 trauma center with a large multi-state catchment area. This provides a training opportunity that will allow for the development of technical excellence in all aspects of neurosurgery while giving the trainee exposure to a diverse set of pathology. The large attending-to-resident ratio allows for an unparalleled early operative experience while simultaneously requiring early ownership in managing neurosurgical patients.
What have you enjoyed most so far? Outside of the tremendous clinical and training experiences, I have most enjoyed getting to know the residents and faculty. The neurosurgical faculty at Carolinas Medical Center are deeply invested in the success of this program and are sincerely interested in the well-being of their residents. In addition, every employee of Carolinas Medical Center is extremely welcoming and helpful. This creates an enjoyable work environment that makes it a pleasure to help take care of patients and their families every day.
What are your personal hobbies? I spend my free time playing pick-up basketball, biking, and running to explore the many miles of trails that Charlotte has to offer. I also enjoy trying out the newest restaurants, breweries, and coffee shops in Charlotte. In addition to all of the exciting aspects within the Charlotte city-limits, I have started traveling to destinations within driving distance of Charlotte such as Asheville, Charleston, and the Outer Banks.

England's campaign against Sri Lanka in the Test series at home received a serious blow as fast-bowler James Anderson was diagnosed with a side strain and was advised not to bowl in the remainder of the first Test, here on Saturday.
According to reports, the pacer is suffering from a grade one strain which requires two to three weeks of rest. Anderson sustained the problem on day two of the Test which began Thursday and had to examined off the field.
His absence had a direct impact on England's bowling arsenal as Sri Lanka managed to score fluently in their first innings and the problem for the hosts is only going to continue with the second Test beginning from June 3 at the Lords. Though he can bat, it is unlikely that Anderson will be available for the match.

Star Eater is an uncommon card from the Epidemic set of .hack//ENEMY.
Tips and StrategiesEdit
Star Eater is a powerful monster that is easy to bring into play in any deck using a decent number of water-elemental monsters. Star Eater's strength is countered by its effect, which gives a healthy defending PC an extra drawn destiny, so it's most likely to be successful if played while all the opponent's PCs are wounded. Its reward is especially useful since a monster in play must be returned to the hand; this monster can be either in the portal or in the score pile, so it does well in hindering the opponent's offense.
