Breast Augmentation/Implants, is there a way for breasts not to be hard and extremely high?
Doctor Answers 10
Yes, you can achieve natural looking results
Yes, it is very possible. A specialist Plastic Surgeon can achieve natural looking results. There are different types of implants that can be used depending on the look and feel you desire. Although they will tend to feel firm initially, if you follow the advice of your surgeon, there is no reason that your breasts should feel hard once they have settled.
Web reference: http://www.yourbreast.com.au
Post Op Swelling
Thank you for your question. The natural, inflammatory process involves swelling of your tissues and typically, the implants will be compressed/tight while you are swollen. As well, pectoral muscles can appear prominent with upper chest swelling. Your surgeon will advise you about a post op compression bra and any activities you will need to avoid. I recommend that you talk with them about the recovery process so that you have realistic expectations. It will take between 2-6 months for the breasts to completely soften, drop and fluff. Your existing tissues and the size of implant you choose could be factors as well.
All the best

Breast Augmentation/Implants, is there a way for breasts not to be hard and extremely high?
Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well.. when you have silicone implants under the muscle, they spend some weeks high, and you can feel much pressure on your chest, is completely normal and they will drop and settle slowly with time.

Breast Augmentation/Implants, is there a way for breasts not to be hard and extremely high?
Breast augmentation operation is performed in order to increase the size of breast. Size and shape of breasts can often play a critical role in a woman's self-esteem. Fuller and bigger breasts are often associated with reproducibility therefore it is a desired condition. There are different kinds of breast augmentation operation types. Breast augmentation can be performed either with breast implants or autologous fat transfer. There are also different types of breast implants like teardrop or round implants. These implants also can be placed under or above the muscle. As you can imagine there are several different options for breast augmentation. The best way to understand which one is more suitable for you is to get a physical examination by a plastic surgeon.
It is important for you to understand that you don't always need a breast implant for breast augmentation. As it was also mentioned above you can also get bigger and natural breasts with Cihantimur Fat Transfer method. In this method we use own fat tissue of the patient in order to increase the size of the breast. Since this tissue is your own tissue there is no risk for any adverse effects. It is safe and fast operation that yields natural results without any incision.
Implant position
It depends a lot on how large the implants are and how tight your tissues are. Best to be evaluated in person.

Hard breasts after augmentation
Soft, natural breasts are the rule in my practice and in most surgeons' practices. Visit with an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon and ask to see many results. Below is one example.

Is there a way for breasts not to be hard and extremely high?
Good breast augmentations should look natural, soft in a normal position. If they don't look this way the implant is in the wrong position, too big or both. See a board certified plastic surgeon for a great result. Good luck

Breast Augmentation/Implants, is there a way for breasts not to be hard and extremely high?
Thank you for sharing your excellent question. After placement of implants, the appearance of the breasts will change dramatically over the next several months, as the implants drop, and the overlying tissue stretches to accommodate the extra volume. The swelling from surgery flattens your implants, holding them high on the chest. As the swelling resolves, the volume within the implant will redistribute towards the lower portion of your breast achieving a more natural appearance, and filling your bra cup more. It often takes 6 months for the natural results to be seen. Hope this helps.

Breast Augmentation/Implants, is there a way for breasts not to be hard and extremely high?
Thank you for the good question.
Generally speaking, breast implants will "drop" into the pocket that was created during surgery. The rate of breast implant "settling" may depend on factors such as size of breast implant pocket dissected, tightness of the overlying skin/muscle layers, and size of breast implant utilized. Normally, it takes about 3-6 months (for some patients longer) to see the final result. It is very common for one side to settle faster than the other.
Similarly, it takes a few months for the breasts to "soften" in most cases. Most of my patients tell me that their breast implants feel "part of them" somewhere between 3 to 6 months after surgery was performed.
Many of my patients report that as the swelling around the breast implants (for example, in the sternal area) decreases, they feel that their breasts appear more projecting. Also, in my opinion, the "drop and fluff" phenomenon does hold some validity; as breast implants "settle", many patients feel that their breasts actually look larger.
There is definitely a physiologic and "psychological" (body image) adaptation process that occurs, at differing rates for every patient, for patients who undergo any type of aesthetic surgery, including breast augmentation surgery.
Best wishes.
Web reference: http://www.poustiplasticsurgery.com/la-jolla-cosmetic-surgeon.htm
It takes time for the breast to get soft and to drop
you should think of a BA like getting 9 months pregnant in one hour. Your stomach would get very tight if you got 9 months pregnant in an hour. If your breasts are small and in one hour, the skin and soft tissue have to stretch over a breast implant, it has to be tight and firm. Of course, the larger your natural breasts are, and the smaller the implants are relative to your breast size, is going to have an effect.
i personally think that silicone implants cause less upper pole fullness initially, compared to saline implants.
I think you need to allow at least 3 months for the implant to drop. The implants will get softer and softer and they keep improving for over a year.
i think it is definitely better to put the implants under the muscle.

Smooth and Soothing
A short poem I wrote while in-air on the plane, feeling relaxed. :D
Clouds of beds below me
Endless possibilities
I feel lost
But then pleasantly captured
In Your Words.
Is it just me
Or is this all real?
I feel starstruck
Enchanted by You
Complications feel beautiful
Symphonies in my ear
(Symphonies that I hear)
A tinge of red
A pinch of blue
Twilight dawns
Silence follows after
I listen.
Smooth and soothing
This music:
Sweet sounds in my ear
So beautiful You are

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Peanut Butter & Co.- Make your own squeeze packs?
Jan 22, 2013 at 1:54 pm #1298310
I came across this recently at Walmart – 68 cents a pack in reg and dark choc.
Does anyone have a suggestion for what you can use for make your own squeeze packs for things like peanut butter? Something that holds 2 – 4oz and you either discard or clean and reuse. I'm thinking for shorter hikes not thru hiking.
I was thinking about those small gylcine bags used for nickle bags back in the day. But I don't know where to buy them and they weren't too durable.
I use a squeeze bottle for Gu – add a 20% water and nothing remains in the bottle. I don't that would work for peanut butter.Jan 22, 2013 at 2:06 pm #1946184

The old school solution is a Gerry Tube, but I think other companies make them now.
This is a squeezable clear plastic tube with a cap on one end, and a refilling port on the other end. They hold maybe (?) 10-12 ounces?
The only problems that I remember are these: It takes a minute to clean them out very well since you can't get your whole hand into it. If you leave it out in sunlight for a very long time, the refilling port plastic clip will age and break. Coyotes just love to bite down on them.
We used to carry one with peanut butter, one with margarine, and one with instant coffee. The size makes sense if you have a small group of people. Otherwise, you are better off buying the disposable foil individual packs.

+1 on the Coghlan's squeeze tubes…Campmor also sells (for just $0.80) replacement clips for the squeeze tubes. I find that the clips break long before I wear a hole in the side of the tube where it's pinched at the end.
It adds a little weight, but my squeeze tubes go in a quart-sized ziploc of their own. If you are ever unfortunate enough to have one fail in your pack you'd do the same.Jan 22, 2013 at 7:15 pm #1946321

"If you are ever unfortunate enough to have one fail in your pack you'd do the same."
Been there. Done that.
We used to wind some duct tape over the plastic clip to keep UV off, but the coyotes go right through that.
–B.G.–Jan 23, 2013 at 9:01 am #1946435
I've researched those. A bit too big for my needs.
Also, some have complained that with some foods, the tubes leak and the clip comes off.Jan 23, 2013 at 9:04 am #1946439

"I've researched those. A bit too big for my needs.

I've only used them for PNB&J. I wouldn't use them with anything more liquid. Never had a clip issue, but don't over fill them. Some people can't keep their shoelaces tied either :)
As far as size, a pair of scissors will fine tune them to your needs.
You can get food prep squeeze bottles through a commercial restaurant supply and get fixed lids for them. I don't think there is anything much smaller than 8 oz.Jan 23, 2013 at 10:24 am #1946467

If you have a Food Saver, take some of the continuous tube bags. Seal the end, then turn the bag sideways, and seal several channels. Then, load the peanut butter, and seal the tops. Need to make the channels wide enough for easy loading, probably only three or maybe four across. Haven't tried it myself, but a large pastry bag with a large bore tip, or load the peanut butter into a zip-loc bag and snip off one corner, then squeeze into the channels might make for the easiest loading technique.
Someone else on here made their own single-use sunscreen packs that way. Can't remember who, so can't credit with the idea.Jan 23, 2013 at 11:32 am #1946480
Gary DunckelBPL Member
@zia-grill-guyLocale: Boulder
Pick your tube, container, or correct size Foodsaver bag if you want to go that route. If you look around, you can find various sizes of mylar juice containers. Starbucks sells 4.0 oz. Peter Rabbit fruit snacks, which are perfect. The caps are oversized, but I just snip off the silly parts with kitchen scissors.
Find a Monoject 412 irrigating syringe (ask your dentist for a few), and trim the tip with kitchen shears, a scalpel, or a sharp knife. Make the syringe opening as large as you can, but where it still fits into the opening of your container. Walgreen's has something similiar, for dispensing liquid baby medicines. They'll probably give them to you for free.
Warm up the expected amount of peanut butter in your microwave (only the creamy style will work for this technique, by the way).
Remove the plunger from the syringe. Use a Popsicle stick, or a very small butter knife, to fill the syringe. Squirt the peanut butter into the container, shake and tap it on the counter to get the peanut butter to settle to the bottom. This will be a somewhat arduous task, getting the air bubbles out and giving you room to add more peanut butter. I've used a chop stick to force the goo down into the container. You likely will need to rewarm the peanut butter by placing its container in some near-boiling water for a few minutes. Then shake and tamp some more. Eventually, you'll get all the air bubbles out, the container will be full, and you'll have a nice, light container of portable peanut butter.
I don't fully trust these fragile containers, so I place them in a secure pint size Ziplock for transport in my food bag.
It's a sort of messy affair, but you only have to do it once to supply yourself for a season's supply of peanut butter.Jan 23, 2013 at 1:07 pm #1946507

By Michael Winfrey and Gareth Jones
PRAGUE/WARSAW (Reuters) - Eastern European bank supervisors expressed concern on Wednesday about "misleading" comments on risks in their financial sectors, and said they could hurt the region's economies and banks.
Poland's central bank governor also said he wanted to start talks with the European Central Bank and the EU's executive to limit aid to "financial institutions that speculate on financial markets" in emerging Europe.
The EU's eastern members came under sharp scrutiny last month when mainstream global media posted front page stories about the long-building economic imbalances in some states, with some articles including references to the region as "the sub-prime of Europe."
Officials in better-off states like the Czech Republic and Poland have tried to fight back, saying they are far different from regional laggards Hungary or Latvia, which have sought IMF-led bailouts to shore up their economies.
In a joint statement, supervisory authorities from Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria said "publicly announced initiatives" highlighting the exposure that banks in western EU members have to central and Eastern Europe were undermining their efforts to uphold stability.
"The published information... are often oversimplified and misleading, and it can have a negative impact on banks that are operating in these countries," said the statement, published on the Slovak central bank's website.
"Such self-fulfilling speculation totally disregards fundamental economic developments in the CEE countries and creates misperceptions that could inevitably be detrimental to both the CEE region and Europe as a whole."
The statement did not specify what it meant by "publicly announced initiatives."
Analysts, who note the once-booming region is facing at best a massive slowdown in growth, were unimpressed by the central banks' statements and said it would do little to calm market nerves around the region.
They noted Hungary was not among those that had signed and said a lack of clear policy for the region as a whole continued to undermine the situation, regardless of whether some countries were economically stronger than others.
Hungary's forint on Wednesday fell 2 percent to a record low of 310.56 per euro as investors shorted it against its regional peers. The Polish zloty and Czech crown, in contrast, were more or less steady.
Polish central bank Governor Slawomir Skrzyrpek criticized "speculators," a growing trend in the region's largest economy in which media and politicians have blamed foreign investment banks for a 33 percent drop in the zloty currency since July.
"Our aim should be to implement measures that would limit incidence of granting public help to financial institutions that speculate on financial markets of the new member states and emerging economies," he said.
"I shall endeavor to initiate a discussion on this subject within the ECB and the European Commission."
Analysts were skeptical such a move could gain any ground, particularly with western EU members scrambling to uphold their banking sectors with billions of euros in capital injections and in some cases the outright nationalization of flagging lenders.
"The statement doesn't give any hints of new policy measures to shore up individual markets, and that's disappointing," said Koon Chow, a strategist at Barclays capital.
"Also, a bit incongruous is the absence of Hungary in the statement, which once again underscores problems in policy cohesion among EU members, and this statement underscores the lack of cohesion among the new EU members."
Chow and other analysts have suggested that markets will not begin to differentiate between the fundamentals of different states until they all agree on a common plan to underpin confidence in the region as a whole, possibly including EU and IMF funds, ECB credit lines, and other emergency measures.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
The Picture Said It All
by Paul on 08/15/14 at 12:23 PM ET
Comments (1)
from E.M. Swift of Sports Illustrated,
For SI's 60th anniversary, we asked readers to vote on the most iconic cover in the magazine's history. The winner was the March 3, 1980 "Miracle on Ice" cover, which featured the U.S. hockey team's joyous celebration after its improbable victory over the Soviet Union at Lake Placid. Below is the cover story from that issue.
For millions of people, their single, lasting image of the Lake Placid Games will be the infectious joy displayed by the U.S. hockey team following its 4-3 win over the Soviet Union last Friday night. It was an Olympian moment, the kind the creators of the Games must have had in mind, one that said: Here is something that is bigger than any of you. It was bizarre, it was beautiful. Upflung sticks slowly cartwheeled into the rafters. The American players--in pairs rather than in one great glop--hugged and danced and rolled on one another (see cover).
The Soviet players, slightly in awe, it seemed, of the spectacle of their defeat, stood in a huddle near their blue line, arms propped on their sticks, and waited for the ceremonial postgame handshakes with no apparent impatience. There was no head-hanging. This was bigger, even, than the Russians.

According to the new law, all women with alluring eyes have to wear a full veil. The spokesperson of Saudi Arabian Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice -- Sheikh Motlab al Nabet claimed that they have full authority and right to impose such bans on women.
A British newspaper quoted Nabet as saying, "The men of the committee will interfere to force women to cover their eyes, especially the tempting ones. We have the right to do so."
We'll interfere to force women to cover their eyes, especially the tempting ones
The new law has been criticised on social media such as Facebook, Twitter. Many commentators were seen discussing the definition of "tempting eyes".
While a commentator claimed that tempting eye referred to "uncovered eyes with a nice shape and makeup", another commentator claimed, "...without makeup, if they are beautiful, the woman will be in trouble."
Huge expectations were set for Prince Naif who is all set to succeed his father king Abdullah. Earlier it was expected that the new King might be more liberal while taking decisions on women.
However, all hope went in vein as Prince Naift too suggested that any Muslim should support the Committee's new law.
Many had hoped that his ascension to the Saudi throne would bring an end to this kind of draconian oppression, but unfortunately he looks as intolerant as his father.
"It should be supported because it is a pillar of Islam. If you are a Muslim, you should support the committee," the British newspaper quoted him as saying.

From Tuesday night until Wednesday morning, when the machine was turned off, scores of customers swooped on the dispenser in Urmston, Manchester, after it began giving out an additional £20 with each transaction.
As word spread, queues formed at the machine. It is believed that some people were requesting £10 a time up to the £250 daily withdrawal limit, and getting £30 back - a possible total of £500 too much.
Some who reached their card's limit on the Tuesday came back after midnight - the start of a new banking day - to have another go.
The machine apparently began to malfunction after staff had gone home for the night. By the time they returned yesterday morning, it is estimated that it may have doled out tens of thousands of pounds.
The cash bonanza follows a similar incident last week in Wooler, Northumberland, where villagers were yesterday still smiling at their good fortune after a Barclays cash machine paid out twice as much as requested.
In Urmston, taxi drivers who were tipped off about the windfall ditched their fares to line up for the machine on Flixton Road. One who did not wish to be named said he made £1,000 in just two hours. 'It beats driving round in the rain all night looking for the next fare,' he said.
'It was amazing how quickly the word spread. I turned up about 10.00pm and there were already a load of taxis outside.
'I got an extra £500 and then someone told me to come back after midnight to do it again. I just couldn't believe my luck. There was a real street-party atmosphere with everyone walking round with massive grins.'
The machine was used all night, with those who were in the know ringing friends and family to come along with their cards. 'People were arriving in their pyjamas,' said the taxi driver.
Last night a Halifax spokesman said: 'The cash machine is actually in the Halifax estate agency branch rather than the bank a few doors up. Staff were alerted and the machine was turned off at 8.35am.'
Halifax said it was still investigating and could not yet say whether customers who received extra cash would be traced.
Another spokesman said it was possible that cassettes loaded with cash had been inserted incorrectly - which could lead to customers being paid £20 instead of £10 or £10 instead of £20, but said an unexpected £20 bonus with each transaction sounded 'unusual'.
'We can confirm there was a discrepancy in the amount being dispensed and we are looking into it as a matter of urgency,' he added.
In Wooler, Securicor staff installed a cassette containing £20 notes instead of £10. Within hours the machine was emptied. It was estimated that at least £65,000 had been withdrawn.
Securicor blamed the error on Securitas Cash Management for giving it the wrong cassette.

Only a few hundred candidates had submitted applications for 9,000 head and deputy head teacher positions in Romanian schools shortly before the deadline set by the education ministry as part of an attempt to depoliticise schools in the country.
The performance-based appointments planned by the government of technocrats in schools are a radical change from the system of arbitrary, mostly political, appointments in the public sector over the past decades. Reforming the education system and investing in research could bring more benefits than the state aid given to foreign investors attracted by the low wages paid to manufacturing sector workers or call centre operators.
However, the education ministry's effort to introduce merit-based appointments of heads and deputy heads has already experienced setbacks and the first centrally organised tests have been postponed.
The reluctance on the part of teachers to put their names forward resulted in only 400 applying for the 6,500 head teacher positions and 2,500 deputy head positions by September 15, one day before the deadline, Revista 22 reported.
Many potential candidates have either left the system, which has been dominated for decades by mediocre politically-connected head teachers, or they fear the government's eventual failure to change the system could lay them open to political reprisals. This intimidates teachers who would otherwise compete against incumbent head teachers who enjoy political support.
Mircea Dumitru, head of the University of Bucharest, member of Romanian Academy and minister of education since July 2016, has been pushing for head teachers to be appointed on the basis of merit.
The introduction of appointments based on merit is eight years overdue, the ministry of education has explained. The ministry wants to coordinate the test centrally and evaluate the heads of regional (county-level) inspectorates for education, who were appointed on political grounds.
A couple of months before the end of its term, the government of technocrats is also introducing a programme similar to the "private management" programme in state-owned enterprises in all schools and kindergartens. While not receiving much attention from the business media, the move - besides the ongoing efforts to depoliticise academic titles - is of high importance for the reform of the public administration and even for the country's long-term real convergence.
The government had already published sample tests for heads and deputy heads, with the first round of testing scheduled for October 12.
However, senator and former Minister of Education Ecaterina Andronescu of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) has drafted an amendment to the law on education under which the test for appointing new head teachers has been postponed again until next summer. If Andronescu's amendments are endorsed by lawmakers, the tests will be postponed until after the current government of technocrats is replaced by a government of politicians after the December 11 elections.
The test has been organised in a hurry and replacing the managers would disrupt their plans, Andronescu argued. In fact, last-minute appointments have been made across the country.
Dumitru accused the senators who initiated the amendment of perpetuating the politicisation of schools in an interview with Digi 24 on September 18. Some already appear to be attempting to distance themselves from the decision; the deputy-head of the expert committee that endorsed the amendment, Cristian Danut Mihai (National Liberal Party, NPL) denied endorsing the document, according to Adevarul daily – in spite of documents proving that he had.
Aside from the attempt to block reforms to how head teachers are appointed, the lower house of parliament, the Chamber of Deputies, is also considering legislation to allow PhD holders to avoid accusations of plagiarism by voluntarily renouncing their titles without any explanation.
Speaking to Digi 24, Dumitru said the bill, which would help many politicians avoid accusations of plagiarism, was "a shame". They include former Prime Minister Victor Ponta could lose his membership in the professional body of lawyers after being stripped of his PhD title.
Dumitru also expressed his shock that former Minister of Interior Petre Toba, who is accused of both plagiarism and embezzlement, had been hired as an advisor to the ministry that he resigned from on September 1. The National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA) has already started an investigation into Toba's involvement in hiding documents related to embezzlement. The CNATDCU expert committee still has to decide on Toba's plagiarism and his PhD title.

Robbers Open Fire In Arlington Pawn Shop
The real bad news is the likelyhood of other BG's in the area taking note of the success from this robbery tactic and adopt it for themselves.

What kind of a pawn shop doesn't arm its employees?

"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
Here's the article:Robbers Open Fire In Busy Arlington Pawnshop
POSTED: 4:52 pm EDT June 17, 2008
UPDATED: 10:23 pm EDT June 17, 2008
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Two men walked into an Arlington pawnshop on Monday morning and opened fire as store employees and customers dropped to the floor and took cover. Now, Jacksonville police have begun a search for the men they called bold bandits.
The armed robbery took place at about 10 a.m. at the Super Cash Pawn Shop on Acme Street, where two men nonchalantly walk inside and without giving any type of warning or demands opened fire inside the store.
Surveillance video of the incident caught the crime on tape.
"It happened so fast," said the pawnshop manager Earnes Mertinda. "They just came in and start shooting in the air twice and let us know hey we in business."
Witnesses said the first gunman dressed in black fired two shots into the ceiling and then casually walked up to a glass display case and fired another shot, just barely missing the pawn shop manager who was taking cover behind the counter, and grabbed the expensive Rolex watches in the display case.
"They had no masks on -- just didn't care. He had a dead look on his face like, 'Just move out of my way,' and we were trying as you could see but there was nowhere to run," said one witness who was at the store with her 17-year-old daughter.
The mother said her back was against the camera in the surveillance video and she was trapped between the two armed robbers when they walked in the shop.
"Everybody just kind of dived onto the ground and I was just stuck in a space that -- my life kind of flashed in my face," said the witness.
While the second robber is seen on the surveillance tape grabbing what he could, the mother made a clean break as the robbers were distracted by a gun that apparently became jammed during an attempt to shoot a second display case.
What the woman said can't be heard on the video is her desperate plea to the gunmen.
"He was aiming in her direction and that bullet would've hit her head. All I could say was, 'Father please don't shoot my child,'" she said.
Her daughter was seen on the tape ducking behind the counter closest to the front door. The teen was able to runaway as the robbers moved on to the next display case and used the butt of a revolver to shatter the glass and grab some rings.
"We got away from him and went to the back of the store and we broke down," said the witness.
The shop owner said the robbers stole about $25,000-$30,000 in jewelry.
Anyone with information about the identities of the men caught on tape robbing the Super Cash Pawn Shop is asked to contact police or remain anonymous by calling Crimestoppers at 866-845-TIPS.
Well, looks like the robbers have been reading up on tactics. Shooting works a lot better than shouting warnings.
I'm just glad nobody got hurt, and with them on tape, they won't last long.
They probably should have done a little more research and figured out that video surveillance makes for some pretty good evidence.
As far as a CCW making a difference, I don't know. One gun jams and the other is using a revolver that he is smashing a display case with. I might take those odds.
There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil.
Who is John Galt?
You are right. In a situation like this you only get one chance and this would be it. This is where awareness of who is coming and going could put the odds more in your favor. Still need to see the surveillance tape to know exactly how it went down though.As far as a CCW making a difference, I don't know. One gun jams and the other is using a revolver that he is smashing a display case with. I might take those odds.

When they come in shooting like that you don't know if they will shoot witnesses until after the fact. By then it may be to late. Your going to have to size up the situation fast if you are considering shooting back.
There is always the chance that if you take out one the other will flee. You are really going to have to shoot fast to try to get them both.
This type of thing is becoming more common, so turn the "spidy" sense up a few notches.
Where were the legal CCW's? I thought everyone in FL carried? Maybe some of the victims will now consider CCW?
"Brains before Bullets"
I assure you that this is not something new.
So after two shots, the guy's gun jammed. Interesting.
Maybe some of the victims will now consider CCW? Maybe so. Maybe they will decide that guns are that much more evil as well.
Considering yourself to be defenseless is the first administrative step to becoming a victim.
Considering yourself to be defenseless is the first administrative step to becoming a victim.
Check LiveLeak.com - Redefining the Media and there are many armed robbery videos showing clerks who were shot (dead sometimes) as soon as the gunmen entered the place, no questions ask, no words exchanged, they just unloaded into the clerks.
For example, check this video out:
Lady clerk robbed, gunman tried to blew her head of without asking for anything.
LiveLeak.com - MISSED BY A HAIR - ARMED ROBBERY (gunman missed by a hair, literally!)
3 gunmen charge pawn shop, all blasting... clerk fights back with his own gun and lives.
LiveLeak.com - Clerk Fights back
3 gang bangers shot up business owner to pieces, and stole his gun (that was NOT kept on his body), not shore if the victim survived after being treated in the hospital though, he got hit pretty bad.

If the clerk was armed and the customer was clear, he would have been justified in returning fire when the robbery began. Customer or not, if he was being shot AT, I don't think anyone would hesitate to shoot back to save himself. But given the choice of shooting when innocents are in the line of fire - but you aren't - would you risk missing and killing an innocent bystander? I hope not.

My exploration of iPod Touch for school library/classroom use continues.
I now have earphones with microphone and remote controls.
In the photo you can see the little bar that hangs off the earphone. On verso side is the mic – the smallest I've ever seen. I've experimented with speaking into it and talking with someone standing/sitting next to me: the mic's ability is very good. As long as the person beside the mic-wearer isn't mumbling, this mic will pick up their voice no problem. I've yet to experiment with voice + background noise which is a reality in classroom/library use.
The side of the mic that can be seen is the remote – from it the wearer can adjust the volume up and down with the + and – buttons. The large button in the centre is for fast forwarding/skipping/rewinding.
This bit of hardware has been essential for use with one of the apps that comes loaded on the iPod Touch – Voice Memo. It allows you to record audio notes and short readings. In fact I'm not sure how long you can record on Voice Memo for – I did a five minute reading and it hadn't cut out so I'm supposing it can go for a decent length of time.
There is a slight disadvantage to this app in that you cannot rename files you've recorded so they are named by date and time only. On the upside, the app has a 'Share' function which means the sound file can be emailed to someone. You must set up one of your email accounts on the iPod Touch under Settings – Mail in order to do this.
I was curious to see what format the audio file would be and how one would open the sent file so emailed a trial off to my personal email address from my gmail. When I opened my laptop and email then the file (it was in an .m4a format) my iTunes automatically opened and played the file. Easy! I've also emailed a trial off to my work email to see how it might be opened from there. I don't think I have iTunes loaded at work; something I may have to rectify and may have to include on all our computers at school.
Of course this probably isn't the app for use in creating podcasts but I can see the value of messages, ideas, readings, stories being sent to/from a teacher/home /fellow student. This could be especially valuable for students with special needs and learning needs.
I just found a fantastic presentation on Mark Warner's site Ideas to Inspire on ways of incorporating iPods into the classroom: Fifteen Interesting Ways to use an iPod Touch in the Classroom
I liked the idea of using Voice Memo to create collaborative stories. I'm going to give it a try in one of the library sessions in two weeks time. Sites and their ideas such as these are gold. Ultimately it's not the apps but the practical applications that will sell the use of these technologies to teachers and institutions. Understanding and sharing how to incorporate the ICT tools into the pedagogy is the goal of my exploration.

Request for information – FOI13394
Thank you for your e-mail of 23 July 2013, requesting information from Ordnance Survey in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000.
'On 14/08/2013, Ordnance Survey completed a site survey of our property in xxxxxx. Some surprising results emerged and these were at variance with our own GPS commissioned survey. We would therefore request under the Freedom of Information Act, the actual site readings taken by your equipment, based on National Grid references.
I attach a sketch (omitted from our response) showing the particular points of interest. If any points were not read during this survey, would you please provide the 'off Mastermap' coordinates, and advise as such. Our GPS result is for instance, of point 1, is: 317845.913 703495.2869
Can you supply your points for both horizontal and corrected for the considerable height differences? I include a schematic drawing of the key points. These are: 1 , 6, 7, 5/C, 4/B, A, 2E, 3/D, AG, 11, F, GF, 10/A'.
Ordnance Survey does hold the information to respond to your information request, and we respond as follows:
Our data investigation department have taken a 'screen shot' of the raw data as entered by the surveyor at the time of ground survey, for the area in question, and provided the GPS readings (i.e. the true national grid positions) for the control points in the Ordnance Survey data. We have endeavored to use control points that correspond with the supplied sketch but please note that the points below may not correspond exactly to the points indicated on the sketch.
We have provided coordinates read from the GB04 data where there are no control points.
Here is the key for the attached bmp. X and Y co-ordinates followed by the Z (height) value. These values are derived directly from GNSS observations.
1. 317849.75, 703485.83 Z value 206.60
2. 317762.69, 703425.87 Z value 189.48
3. 317737.76, 703404.86 Z value 185.69
4. 317685.72, 703360.08 Z value 176.79
5. 317786.56, 703398.54 Z value 192.28
6. 317784.65, 703389.54 Z value 191.85
Here are the coordinates held by positioning the cursor on the screen where there are no control points.
This survey was controlled by GPS points of detail, such that the set of features in question can be expected to fall well within the expected accuracy standard for Ordnance Survey mapping at this scale.
In this case, for 1:2 500 standard mapping, the expected root mean square error of absolute accuracy is 1.1m, the expected relative accuracy for measured distances up to 100m is ±.1.0m.

Hi everyone,
I'm a little bit confuse with 'Exclusive Author', what if I sell my rejected item to different marketplace. Will it affect my exclusivity with other items?
no, the only thing exclusive means is you cannot sell the exact SAME item elsewhere.
So if you have a WordPress theme for sale here, you can sell the PSD/HTML elsewhere if you want
You can sell whichever item you wish on any other market AS LONG AS IT IS NOT in your ThemeForest portfolio. Your ThemeForest reviewed and approved items fall under the exclusivity terms and only them.
You can of course sell cross-platform (PSD, HTML, WP, Drupal, Joomla) variations of them. You can sell the HTML, WP here and the PSD on your site or another market.
Thanks a lot @chrisakelley and QBKL

text: Now that health care reform has become a reality, business owners throughout Maine are trying to figure out what it might mean for their bottom lines. On Wednesday, the Maine State Chamber of Commerce held a free conference in Augusta to try to provide more information on how this healthcare overhaul will impact Maine businesses. Katie Hays was a keynote speaker. Hays is the public affairs executive director for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. One of the major problems the business community has found includes the requirement of filing 10-99 forms on every expense over 6-hundred dollars. On the other hand thousands of Maine businesses may qualify for tax credits to help pay for the cost of provideing benefits to workers.

In Los Angeles Plays Itself, the cult documentary by Thom Andersen about "the most photographed city in the world – and the least remembered", the director heaped praise on an all-but forgotten LA movie: Kent Mackenzie's The Exiles, which documented a riotous and boozy Friday night in the lives of several Native Americans, originally from Arizona, living in the Bunker Hill area of downtown LA in the late 1950s.
Unlauded and largely unseen in its day, it has received ecstatic plaudits from US critics ever since. Today it's seen as both a unique moment in the history of Native American film-making and a record of the vanished community (and the beautiful Victorian architecture) that once existed where LA's skyscrapers now stand.
The Exiles, which is out on DVD this week, came together when Mackenzie, a British-born graduate of the University of Southern California film school, met a group of Native Americans in 1957 and started hanging around with them at bars and parties in Bunker Hill. Mackenzie had made a short called Bunker Hill, about the aged residents of what had once been the richest neighbourhood in LA, but was now a near-slum. He filmed it just after the area had been marked for demolition, getting to know these men and women who were now "exiled" in Los Angeles. At the time, the average income of a reservation Indian was half that of a black sharecropper, and a quarter that of a white worker. Mackenzie admitted to getting a little closer than a documentarian should, drinking, carousing and playing cards, but also discovering definite limits, as when he found himself, as he wrote at the time, "cornered against bar-rails and men's room walls and forcibly instructed as to what had happened to Custer at Little Big Horn".
Filming The Exiles took three-and-a-half years, with the cast receiving food or alcohol in lieu of pay. Of the six actors who appear in the opening scene of the drama-documentary, three were jailed before the second shooting session began, so never reappear. Others split to dodge the law, were in jail on essential shooting days, or just vanished or died. What's more, Mackenzie lost two of his cameramen to the draft. But the results, shot mostly at night in a gloriously restored 35mm black and white whose every shadow is richly defined, have an energy and poetry that transcend the protagonists' often miserable lives.
The film's parallel narratives focus on Homer, an affable, troubled young man, and his friend Clifford. Both behave like average blue-collar guys on a Friday: bullshitting, preening, dancing, brawling and chasing girls. There is a hedonistic trek through the Indian and Latino bars of Main Street, a wild, drunken car ride and a climactic, half-homesick scene of chanting and drumming at the top of Chavez Ravine, another impoverished neighbourhood about to go under the wrecking ball, to make way for Dodger stadium. A third strand focuses on Homer's wife Yvonne: sad, pregnant, a little crushed by her life, and left alone to walk the streets (and take in a cowboy movie) as the men carouse.
To add texture and verisimilitude, Mackenzie asked his actors to speak of their own lives, and their hardscrabble ways led to certain continuity problems. "Characters' facial features were altered by fist-fights, their costumes ripped in brawls or stolen while they were drunk," Mackenzie wrote. Nonetheless, the impression is of a proto-beatnik brotherhood, tearing up the night to a honking soundtrack by the Revels. The Exiles is anything but depressing or admonitory.
And then it vanished. David James, head of film at USC, suggests two reasons for this. Firstly, The Exiles worked in a documentary style that was soon to become obsolete for 20 years. "It was poetic, visually striking, great 35mm stock. But around this time, cinema verité was coming in: 16mm, handheld, sync sound, and instead of prizing visual appearance, film-makers now prized authenticity and non-intervention, so this kind of documentary was discredited."
Secondly, says James, "by the beginning of the next decade, the 70s, the civil rights movement had entered into film culture and minority peoples had started demanding the right to represent themselves. So the idea of a white male representing Native American people was discredited."
Mackenzie went on to work as an editor on industrial shorts, medical films and TV documentaries, mostly with a progressive bent, throughout the 60s and 70s, and taught high-school classes in Marin County on Super-8 film-making. He died young, in 1980, of complications from medication he was taking.
Dennis Doros, of Milestone Films, which has restored The Exiles, says the cast fared badly in later life. He tried to track them down for its release, with little luck. "Homer died young. Most of the others too, in their 30s and 40s. Yvonne is the only one who is still alive. She had two babies during the production, and they both died. It's a problem for her, seeing the movie. If you're drinking and partying, particularly if you're poor, dying young is something that happens more often."
The Exiles is out now on DVD

Chapter 3Mature
I woke up in a hallway lined with doors upon doors heading off to god-knows-where. It has an ultra-modern look and feel to it. The walls are smooth with new looking blue-grey paint on them. The lighting panels on the ceiling are well-maintained and are almost too bright. My first thought is Is this what the afterlife looks like? then, Am I actually dead? and my final thought is Is this all a dream?. I had no answer, of course, so I decide to go and do the most stupid thing I can think of; I turn to my right and begin to open the first door. Damn my curiosity.
I shove open the door so it will slam against the wall to make sure there is no surprise attacks from behind the door. I really need to stop watching horror movies. I look around the room. There is one wall lamp at the far end glowing miserably. The room is empty apart from one floor-to-ceiling mirror and one marble table. Odd room I thought. Well at least nothing can really jump out and surprise me because of the lack of hiding places, even though that's also a disadvantage on my part I suppose. I creep inside and close the door softly behind me. This would be a good hiding spot, I thought as I sit down with my back against the door. No one would be able to find me here. I stare at the side of the mirror sensing that something is off about it. I thought about it for maybe 10 minutes before I got the courage to stand up and walk to it and I immediately see what is wrong. It isn't me staring back. It is a very sad looking individual but it doesn't look like it is feeling sorry for itself, but it looks like it is feeling sorry for me. Which is weird, the mirror-person doesn't even know me so how can it feel sorry for someone it doesn't know? I stare at the mirror-person for awhile when I start to match up the facial features under the doom and gloom expressions of the eyes and mouth and I realise it was me. How could that be? I don't even feel sad and I'm pretty sure I don't look that pathetic, or do I? I test it by grinning and waving at the mirror-person feeling like a complete idiot and the mirror-person doesn't move an inch much less change its expression. I start to get really freaked out so I take a step backwards and I am about to turn around when mirror-person decided it is time to become animated for once. It lifts its arm up and points behind me with a look of horror on its face. I look at the mirror-person in utter confusion for a split second before I feel something hit me from behind. I fall to the floor and just before everything I pass out I saw a shape leaving the room and another with its arm holding open the door and looking at me while the other thing exits the room. Then everything went black.
I wake up, or am I dreaming? Who cares anymore? Anyway, I wake up in some sort of valley that is teeming with life. The place is covered with grass and trees are dotted everywhere. There are small animals running around here and there and down at the end there is a lake. I suddenly feel thirsty so I get up and walk to it with all the animals scattering away from me. Why are animals so shy? I get to the lake after about 20 minutes of trekking the landscape and I kneel down to drink the cool, sweet water. After taking my fill, I turn around and sit down to watch the world at play. Everything seems to be almost laughing with the joy of being alive. From the simplest blade of grass to the fox cubs wrestling on a nearby hillside, everything seems to have the perfect ebb and flow of life. There is a small grouping of rabbits near me and suddenly one of them stops feeding and hops over to me while stopping every few hops to sniff the air curiously. It eventually comes over to me and hops onto my lap and I can feel its little heart beating rapidly with fear so I decide to leave it alone and not touch it. I stay perfectly still and continue to watch the world. My curiosity got the better of me, again, and I look down at the rabbit. I move my hand slowly onto the rabbits head and proceed to rub its head gently. This seems to calm it so I start gently rubbing its left ear, the same as I have done to any pet I've played with, when its ear suddenly comes off as if it is a mannequin. I stare in horror as blood starts to spout out of its ear and staining its snowy white fur with blood. It looks at me with hurt in its eyes as blood starts to come out of its eyes as if it is crying before its eyes pop out. I start screaming as its skin seems to slide off and blood is falling off me in cascades and forming a pool around me. I jump up and go over to the lake to try and rinse the blood off me but the water has no effect and suddenly the blood was running into the lake causing the blue to become blood red. I am frantic at this point. I turn around I am about to run away when the view causes my legs to buckle from under me. the entire world is stained with blood and is starting to disintegrate. before my very eyes. A loud booming voice in my head keeps yelling at me THIS IS YOUR FAULT over and over again. I shout "No!" out loud and I run away from the growing darkness as fast as I can, but it is faster than me and is gaining ground rapidly as the world behind me falls into darkness. It eventually catches up with me and I fall into the void of the unknown as the world completely crumbles around me with the same line repeating in my head THIS IS YOUR FAULT! THIS IS YOUR FAULT! THIS IS YOUR FAULT! THIS IS YOUR FAULT!
I wake up screaming "It's not my fault! I didn't do anything! Shut up!" I realise I am still in that room and I am laying on the marble table covered in my own sweat. "Lovely! Now I need a shower!" I said to myself. I get up and look at the mirror with that pathetic person staring at me again. I kick the mirror causing it to fall and smash into dozens of glittering pieces before wrenching open the door and storming out into the hallway shouting profanities along the way. I look at the hallway and realise it isn't exactly how I left it. The floor has black scuff marks on it and some of the overhead lights are hanging by a wire. I mutter to myself that I don't really care and I am suddenly overwhelmed by sadness and burst into tears. I was like that for about 30 seconds before I stood back up straight, wiped my eyes, walked across the hallway and opened the opposite door.

200 File New Claims Against ArchdioceseJan 4, 2006 | AP
When the clergy sex abuse scandal erupted here four years ago, Bill Garrity was not among the more than 500 people who sued the archdiocese and settled claims in 2003.
However, Garrity who said he was abused by a parish priest as a 12-year-old altar boy is among a group of about 200 alleged victims with new claims against the archdiocese.
Lawyers representing 172 alleged victims met Tuesday to discuss a counter offer for the archdiocese, which has offered $7.5 million to about 100 of the latest plaintiffs.
"I didn't want to be dragged through what everybody else was dragged through," said Garrity, now 46, of the first round of lawsuits. "I didn't want to be standing out in front of a church or a rectory. I just hoped it would go away, and it didn't."
Lawyers for the current plaintiffs have denounced the archdiocese's $7.5 million offer as "demeaning" and say it treats them differently than the victims who participated in an $85 million global settlement in September 2003.
The archdiocese's proposal would give alleged victims settlements ranging from $5,000 to $200,000, with $75,000 as the average. In 2003, the 554 plaintiffs received settlements ranging from $80,000 to $300,000 each, with an average of about $155,000.
The archdiocese says its financial condition has deteriorated since the 2003 settlement and it cannot afford to pay the new round of plaintiffs as much.
But the new plaintiffs say they do not believe the archdiocese's claims of financial hardship and say it is attempting to capitalize on the weariness over the scandal in the hope that the alleged victims will accept lesser settlements.
"It is grossly inadequate and it diminishes the abuse that the people suffered," said Tony Cotillo, who said he was raped by a priest in a confessional in St. Joseph's Parish in Holbrook when he was 9.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs say they are similar in many ways to the victims who settled their lawsuits in 2003. Most say they were molested by priests decades ago, but did not come forward because they were afraid, traumatized or emotionally damaged.
"This group is no different than the earlier group, in terms of age, in terms of emotional damage, in terms of character," said attorney Mitchell Garabedian, who represents 55 plaintiffs.
An attorney who represents 33 of the new claimants, said they are generally more "timid" than the earlier plaintiffs, some of whom were emboldened by their sheer numbers and the widespread criticism that the church received after they went public with their stories of abuse.
"These are people who did not want to come forward," the attorney said of the new claimants.
The alleged victims are also upset that the archdiocese is requiring some of them to take part in an arbitration process where they would be cross-examined by church attorneys.
Thomas Hannigan Jr., an attorney for the archdiocese, said some plaintiffs will be subject to "limited" cross-examination.
"We're not saying (their claims) don't have merit, but we don't have a sufficient basis to make that conclusion yet," Hannigan said in an interview last week.
But attorneys for the plaintiffs say the archdiocese is treating them unfairly.
"They've decided they don't believe that a lot of these cases are real, not having any basis for that belief. They've simply decided they just think of these people as liars," Durso said.

More than 50 per cent of those questioned believe the drug should be further downgraded, decriminalised or even legalised.
In legal terms, cannabis becomes a class C rather than class B drug this week - but over half those polled by YouGov thought neither sale nor possession should still be a criminal offence.
Despite rising fears about the drug's effects on mental health, 23 per cent in the poll for the Daily Telegraph said it should be made completely legal, while 28 per cent backed decriminalisation.
The survey of 2,500 people - one of the largest on public attitudes to drugs - found 52 per cent approve the Home Secretary's re-classification of cannabis. But 43 per cent believed selling or possessing it should still be a crime.
While 44 per cent view cannabis as "seriously addictive", almost a third said alcohol presented society with greater problems than drugs.
One reason for liberalisation's growing support is thought to be a desire to resolve the legal status of cannabis once and for all.
It is feared there is widespread confusion among both the public and professionals about the practical effect of reclassification.
Cannabis moves into class C on Thursday, to free up police time so officers can concentrate on harder drugs. But headteachers, drugs charities and lawyers have warned it is widely misunderstood - especially by teenagers.
Professor John Henry, of Imperial College, told the Telegraph the survey showed people are unaware of the harmful effects of cannabis.
"There would not be a drugs problem if people did not start on drugs," he said. "But the Government seems to be saying to young people, 'Hey, it's OK to try this.'"
But the drug treatment charity Addaction said the poll reflected a "shift in understanding", with the public backing a more proportionate response to different drugs.
Spokeswoman Rosie Brocklenhurst said: "The majority of people seem to understand why cannabis should be reclassified.
"Many have had the experience of how damaging the postcode lottery of enforcement has been.
"Young people's lives are blighted forever when they are forced into the criminal justice system, and through it some are coerced into a harder drug culture."
