Hambantota, Jul 24: Sri Lanka crushed India by nine wickets to level the five-match One Day International series 1-1 here at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.
The second ODI of the series was a one-sided affair. After a dismal batting show by India, the hosts eased to victory in 19.5 overs while chasing a paltry score of 139. This defeat, with 181 balls to spare, was the second worst for India in terms of balls. Their heaviest loss was also against Sri Lanka, in Dambulla, in 2010, when they were annihilated with 209 deliveries remaining.
The total number of overs played in the match were 53.2 (33.3 and 19.5) overs. The third ODI will be held on Saturday, July 28, in Colombo.
India's quest of becoming the world's number one ODI side will have to wait for now. They needed to beat the hosts 5-0 to topple Australia from the top of ICC ODI team rankings.
Openers Tillakaratne Dilshan and Upul Tharanga raised their ninth century partnership together in 57 innings to guide the Sri Lankans home in front of a near empty stadium, just as it was during the first ODI on Saturday.
Dilshan registered his 27th ODI half century. He completed 50 off 47 balls with five fours. He was soon dismissed by Ravichandran Ashwin for 50 with Sri Lanka needing 20 runs to win at the stage.
Tharanga too completed his fifty with a boundary, off 52 balls. This was his 26th ODI half century. The left-hander remained unbeaten on 59 and in the company of Dinesh Chandimal (six not out) completed the victory in the 20th over.
The win was set up earlier in the day by medium pacemen Thisara Perera and Angelo Mathews, who took three wickets apiece. India were bowled out for 138. Perera was named Man-of-the-match.
India innings report
Sri Lankan Thisara Perera's dream spell of bowling, where he took three wickets for no run during his opening spell destroyed Indian batting.
The right-arm medium paceman's excellent bowling combined with Angelo's Mathews equally good stint at the bowling crease restricted India to 138 all out in 33.3 overs. This was India's sixth lowest total against their neighbours.
Amidst the ruins at the other end, opener Gautam Gambhir stood tall. His half century provided some respectability to the Indian score. The left-hander was the last man out for 65. Gambhir played 96 balls and hit four fours. Only four batsmen managed to touch double figures.
Much was expected from the Indian batsmen after captain MS Dhoni had won his second successive toss and chosen to bat. But instead of the bats making big sounds, it was the ball which did the talking.
From 314/6 in 50 overs in the first ODI, Indian batting came a cropper on Tuesday. When Gambhir and Virender Sehwag walked out to bat, another tall score was expected, but not to be.
Sehwag was the first to go for 15 runs. This was after a good beginning from India. They had raced to 31/0 in three overs. Virat Kohli had a rare failure, perishing for 1. Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina too followed.
There was a brief partnership between Dhoni and Gambhir. The captain was dropped on zero but could not capitalise as he fell for 11.
Perera, in his first three overs, which were all maidens, dismissed Sehwag, Kohli and Raina. His figures, then, read 3-3-0-3. It could have easily been 3-3-0-4 if not for that dropped catch by Mathews of Dhoni.
Perera finished with 3/19 in eight overs. Mathews also had three wickets for 14 runs in seven overs. Lasith Malinga took two wickets.
Toss Report
India captain MS Dhoni won the toss and chose to bat again in the second One Day International.
India are unchanged from the first victorious side. Sri Lanka were forced to make one change.
Sri Lanka are without their fast bowler Nuwan Kulasekara, who was ruled out of the series after a groin injury sustained during the opening match here. Nuwan Pradeep has come in as his replacement into the 15-man squad. However, Pradeep is not playing today. Isuru Udana, the left-arm paceman is making his ODI debut.
India will have to be careful with their over-rate after captain Dhoni and all team members were fined by International Cricket Council (ICC) for being slow in the opening ODI.
India won the first ODI by 21 runs after Virat Kohli and Virender Sehwag shone with the bat. Kohli hit 106 while Sehwag made 96. Kumar Sangakkara too made a century but went in a losing cause.
Playing XIs:
India: MS Dhoni (captain), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli (vice-captain), Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Irfan Pathan, Ravichandran Ashwin, Zaheer Khan, Umesh Yadav, Pragyan Ojha.

This topic may have been discussed before so I will apologize before hand if it has. I attended Full Sail University several years back and wanted to become a.character animator. The animation teachers were.freat but I still feel I'm missing the point. While they were great at helping us understand the principles of animationfor 2D...I felt they were missing the transition to apply it in 3D form. While you could exaggerate things or break rules of animation in 2D you could not always do that in 3D based on your rigs available.
I was wondering if their are any animators out there who can recommend me some books or online material i can learn from. I already have Richard Williams' Animator's Survival Kit. I would go back to an online school but I'm so far in debt that Sallie Mae or any other student loan company will not loan the money to go.back to.school.
I need all the help I can get. I really have a passion to become a character animator but I lack direction and resources. Thank you for your help.

Spore Prep - Inoculating & Harvesting
Spore stocks are a precious material. Not only do they take time to prepare, but if the strain has been modified from the wild type a lot of effort has been put into achieving this. Spore stocks should be kept at least -20°C and when needed, thawed on ice; helping to prevent germination. Always use the stocks in a sterile environment, i.e. in a laminar flow hood or by using good technique, under a Bunsen flame. Decontamination of a spore stock is a laborious and unnecessary process.

Wells and Galen Danskin On May 31, 2012, after 36 years on the Milan Stock Exchange, Benetton was officially delisted and taken private by Edizione, the Benetton family's holding company. Since 2000, Benetton shareholders had seen its market value fall from $4.3 billion to $720 million at the end of 2011. At $2.6 billion, Benetton's sales in 2011 were virtually the same as they were in 2000, but Inditex from Spain, Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) from Sweden and Fast Retailing from Japan had all grown several times larger over the same period. What happened to this global retail giant? Under the direction of four different CEOs since 2000, Benetton had attempted to move from being an Italian supplier of knitwear with licensed small retailers throughout the world to a vertically integrated global player by tightening management over its supply chain and rolling out directly operated superstores. These moves helped Benetton gain more control over its operations, but they also ate into its profitability. In 2012, Benetton found itself competing with fashion giants who could respond faster to market trends and deliver comparable clothes at half the cost. With Benetton under private ownership, would Harvard Business School graduate Alessandro Benetton be able to make the changes required to return the company to its former strength?

Solar energy is on the rise in the United States; in fact, in his January State of the Union address, President Obama recognized this shift, saying that, "We're becoming a leader in solar … every four minutes, another American home or business goes solar; every panel pounded into place by a worker whose job can't be outsourced."
It's true that the U.S. has made great strides in promoting and installing solar energy systems. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, more than half of all U.S. states have their own renewable energy standards, and a recent study conducted by the non-profit research and policy center Environment Ohio notes that as of April 2014, the U.S. has more than 200 times as much solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity as it did in 2002.
The Environment Ohio study found that 2013 was a historic year for solar power; the U.S. as a nation passed the 10 gigawatt mark for solar capacity, and the nation installed more solar power in 2013 than in any other year previous. More than 4.37 gigawatts of solar energy were installed last year, the study found.
Overall, the study's results are incredibly optimistic about the future of solar power in America. "America has enough solar energy potential to power the nation several times over," the study reads. "Every one of the 50 states has the technical potential through both utility-scale and rooftop solar energy systems — to generate more electricity than is uses in the average year." Further, "in 19 states the technical potential for electricity generation from solar PV exceeds annual electricity consumption by a factor of 100 or more."

Speaking Silence
Salvation as Divine Life
I wouldn't want to push the similarities too far, but Mormons understand one of the principle aims of religion—salvation—as do those in the Eastern Orthodox and Wesleyan traditions. For many believers, salvation means the removal of sin, atonement. But for Orthodox, Wesleyan, and Mormon Christians it means partaking in the divine nature:
By his divine power the Lord has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of the one who called us by his own honor and glory. Through his honor and glory he has given us his precious and wonderful promises, that you may share the divine nature. (2 Pet. 1:3-4; Common English Bible translation)
We differ about the divine nature. We differ about what it means to partake in that nature. (Mormon theology may not be conceptually clear about what we mean by either.) But we agree that salvation means taking part in God's nature, being a partner with him in divine life, though never his equal.
Of course, these two ways of understanding salvation, though different, are not mutually exclusive. No one could participate in divine life without having been cleansed from sin. As the Book of Mormon teaches, "no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of heaven" (Alma 11:37), the ultimate place of divine life. Though the Bible doesn't specifically say the same thing, it subscribes to the same teaching. (See, for example, Eph. 5:5.)
Presumably the reverse is also true: no one cleansed from sin would fail to live the divine life. Nevertheless, the two views of salvation are not the same and the difference makes a difference.
Christians seldom talk much about this particular disagreement, but the positions taken make a big difference in the self-understanding of each group, as well as in the way each understands the other—even though the understandings are seldom explicit. On one side of the disagreement we find Christians for whom salvation means justification, God's judgment that the individual is no longer under condemnation. For Christians on the other side, salvation means coming to live the life that God makes possible.
2 Peter tells us that we receive what we need for godly life by knowing Jesus Christ, with the promise that by knowing him we will come to share in his divine nature. Knowledge is key. But for Mormons the knowledge of Jesus Christ is not particularly theoretical or theological.
Jesus tells us that he is the way, the truth, and the life (Jn. 14:6). In John 14:4, Jesus has told his disciples that they know the way to the place he is preparing, the way back to the Father. They know that way because they know him as a friend, teacher, and exemplar.
Being the way to the Father is not something that Jesus is in virtue of a particular gnosis that he imparts to his followers. He is the way because he gave his life for us. He is the way in view of the fact that we can return to him because of what he has done in the Garden of Gethsemane and on Calvary. He is the way in and through the life he lived and lives, a life we can know as one knows the life of a friend or lover.

SM: If scarecrows are for scaring crows, what scares the scarecrows?
TH: Why, Lions, Tigers and Bears, of course!
SM: Barring yourself, what's the best thing to come out of your hometown?
TH: The inspiration for the town in our show. That doesn't really address your question does it? Well Christine Taylor grew up here and now she's married to Ben Stiller. That seems like an accomplishment. I was in a production of The Wizard of Oz with her when I was 13. I see this interview grasping a theme.
SM: Why did they kick the devil out of comedy heaven?
TH: Comedy Heaven? What the fuck is that supposed to mean? That sounds like a bunch of hoo-ha. Or a Comedy Central pilot.
SM: What's the closest thing you know of to a religious experience?
TH: Laughing so hard that you can't breathe and almost peeing your pants.
SM: Please recommend a phrase with which to win back our girlfriends, after a series of romantic misunderstandings, right before she boards a plane to England to marry that jerk.
TH: I am the last person you should ask for relationship advice.
SM: What was your last good deed?
TH: I took a high school kid to the office here and showed him how a cartoon gets made.
SM: What was your last encounter with a lunatic?
TH: If I told you about that encounter, it would get very uncomfortable around here.
SM: Regale us, please, with an anecdote.
TH: I'm trapped. all my good anecdotes would involve a) hurting someone's feelings b) making me look like a fool or c) making me look like an alcoholic. I will recommend a good book full of antecdoes: Dylan's chronicles. Real good. I'll regale you with anecdotes when I'm 60 and not giving a fuck so much. If its relevant at the time. I imagine your website will have gathered a number of hits by then. I bet it will be regarded as one heck of a popular site, depending on whether or not, it's your decision to continue posting new content. 50 years is a long time to continue to bring content to a site that has the potential to change on a daily basis, so I would reconsider your format, depending on whether or not you intend to stick out this project for that amount of time, based on, I assume the number of visitors or hits, you get on a daily or monthly basis, but I bet you have a method for determining whether or not that's in your best interest.
Then of course there was the time I got my first cell phone. My first phone was a Sony. The year was 2000 and i was one of the first to get a phone. It was really big, but had a fine roundish shape to it. It suited me well for about a year. The phone company I was with let me know that I could upgrade my phone and i then did so. that phone did not last as long, but I remember my third phone. A classic black motorola, slim, functional, full of surprises! But even that phone wore out it's welcome when the color screen caught my eye. I had to have one! Spare no expense! She's with me to this day, it has some glitches though. I'm in the market.
SM: What was your last encounter with a stranger that you wish had been longer?
TH: I met a cutie at a free yoga class the other day. i don't know how to reach her though. I guess I'll have to take more classes.
SM: T.S. Eliot, C.S. Lewis and Wiliam Blake have invited you aboard their Space/Time machine. What sort of fanciful adventures do you have?
TH: I'd travel to the center of time, 1848!

BitMonster Games is a newly formed, independent game studio made up of six former Epic Games employees (The ones that brought you the awesome Gears of War trilogy for the Xbox 360).
Commanded by veteran Lee Perry, the senior gameplay designer on Gears of War 2 and Gears of War 3, they are currently focused on creating a mobile game. Currently they are creating a game called Lili, for iOS devices including the Apple, iPod Touch, iPhone and the iPad. The title uses Epic's Unreal Engine 3 game engine which makes the game look stunning with its 3D graphics and cool environments.
Perry said in an interview,
"Epic has been extremely supportive of our new studio and in helping us build the game of our dreams," he continues to say, "We set out to create an adventure that is appropriate for nearly anyone. As a designer, it's exciting to see that the Unreal Engine 3 tools are better than ever, and they provide everything we need to achieve a gratifying and imaginative experience."
The game, 'Lili' is an adventure role-playing game that focuses on a female character called Lili (hence the name of the game) who meets crazy characters and explores beautiful environments on the mysterious island of Geos. As Perry wanted it to be a game that everyone can enjoy, the game focuses on a 'non-combat' system to deal with enemies but no further information has been revealed yet.
The game is in its final stages of production but no release date has been confirmed.

front wheels look a lil on the small side even though the tires are 295's

Almost perfect update to the Viper. Amazing looking car.

i do like it but something about the front end from certain angles looks a bit off. as if the portion beyond the front wheels is a little under proportioned for the car.
in my mind mounting the lights a little higher with a bigger grill opening and less hood vent would clean thing up and make it look a little less penis mobile.
looks much better with the race front end.
they should make sure thats in the in house mod catalog

I for one like it. It seems like a nice evolutionary design for the exterior. The interior is just an amazing improvement over the previous generations. For my money, this interior is far better than that of a 'Vette - but that's just basing the viper off these pictures (obviously). The C7 better have a higher quality interior to compete with this (cross fingers for CTS-V equivalent).
With all the updates and advanced materials, there is no way this is staying south of $100k. It seems like it might be a $120k car. Although it might be priced competatively against the ZR1.
If it were competing for my $100k, I think the Viper would win (assuming this is the type of vehicle I wanted).
Does anyone else see some hints of 456 in it, or am I imagining things?
Hey, quick question.
wow. this is exquisite.
the Viper line has been consistently
I love it.
The only minor issues I have with it:
--Front lip sticks out a bit much for my tastes
--Stupid LED strips in the headlights
--I'm not big on the roof "bubbles" yet
well done Dodge! well done indeed I really like the look, looks totally European exotic

The one thing I am not absolutely fapping over (and this is really reaching) is the integrated front splitter-thing. I think it'd look better if it were a little less, uhh, integrated.

Regarding my 'truck' hub comment: I'm aware they've always had six; I thought I recalled reading somewhere that the 92-93 used the same hubs as the 91-96 Dakota. Thus my jab at them being 'truck parts,' and the implication that they're still using the design today because perhaps it's a hub from somewhere else in Dodge's parts bin.

Psst! Insider Information
by RehobothFool
One of the stock indicators I enjoy looking at is "insider buying," and it was a happy day when Yahoo! added it to its menu. I also found a great online site that specialized in insider buys, because as we all know so well, it doesn't mean much when insiders sell stock but if they are willing to put up their own money and buy at market prices -- not pennies on the dollar option prices -- that says a lot.
I was very jazzed on this concept and even bought stock that I saw was being bought heavily by insiders, including by my favorite CNBC commentator James Cramer (and his wife too). Yesterday, I had some time and revisited the site, which nicely keeps its records of insider buy lists as far back as last May (a long time in Internet years). I wrote down 11 stocks listed back then with their then-prices. Then I went back to quote.yahoo.com to see how much money those insiders had made.
Yuk. Out of 11 stocks only ONE was up. Two were the same and the other 8 were severely depressed. You could have lost a lot of money following those insiders leads.
What lesson did I learn? Do your own homework and don't follow the crowd because you think they've got inside knowledge you don't. And especially don't fall in love with one idea (like insider buying) without doing some back testing to see how it has performed.
I still own the stock I bought but have since done some research through Value Line that keeps me from selling right now. I do think Mr. Cramer is a smart person. I just hope he's smarter than the 10 losers and is the one that made money.

I'm sorry, but I don't buy it!! I personally think that, unless something politically catastrophic occurs, there's only one fellow who has a real shot at this...and his skin is lily white.
While many in this country would like to THINK we've moved beyond the day when the color of a person's skin matters, it, unfortunately, STILL MATTERS to far too many people. We still live in predominantly segregated neighborhoods. People of color typically earn less in similar occupations than their white counterparts and aren't offered the same kinds of home loans.
Black men are still locked up in prison at alarming rates and no white person I know has to fear "driving while white".
I simply do not believe there are sufficient numbers of white voters who would willingly cast their vote for a black man. (And no, I'm not an Obama supporter. I plan to cast my vote for two black women: Cynthia McKinney & Rosa Clemente, the Green Party ticket.)
I realize that some may agrue that the polls show otherwise. I will agree that several polls have indicated that a majority of white respondents have indicated they would vote for a black candidate for president. But what do you think these people are going to say?
Most white people don't want to be looked at as bigots, so they certainly aren't going to say to the pollster, "I ain't voting for no negro." No, they'll say, "I don't look at a person's skin color".
But there's a wide chasm between telling a pollster what you want them to believe and stepping inside the voting booth (or filling out a ballot at your kitchen table) in private. When you're all by your lonesome, there's no need to put on aires. And that, my friends, is where I believe far too many Americans will place an X next to the names McCain/Palin.
Maybe I'll wake up on a November morning to find that I'm wrong. I think it's far more likely that McCain is going to win in a landslide and all the pundits are going to be scratching their heads asking, "Duh, how'd that happen?'

No great shakes
Jun 12 2014
In a book out this week, Dilip Kumar, breaks decades of silence on filmdom's legendary romance, setting the record straight on why he chose not to marry Madhubala and the reason she wasn't the woman for him. We bring you exclusive excerpts
When I learned about his plans from Madhu, I explained to both of them that I had my own way of functioning and selecting projects and I would not show any laxity even if it were my own production house. It must have tilted the apple cart for him and he successfully convinced Madhu that I was being rude and presumptuous. I told her in all sincerity and honesty that I did not mean any offence and it was in her interest and mine as artistes to keep our professional options away from any personal considerations. She was naturally inclined to agree with her father and she persisted in trying to convince me that it would all be sorted out once we married.
My instincts, however, predicted a situation in which I would be trapped and all the hard work and dedication I had invested in my career would be blown away by a hapless surrender to someone else's dictates and strategies. I had many upfront discussions with her father and she, not surprisingly, remained neutral and unmoved by my dilemma. The scenario was not very pleasant and it was heading inevitably to a dead end. In the circumstances, therefore, it seemed best that we did not decide to marry or even give each other a chance to rethink because my resolve by then had become strongly against a union that would not be good for either of us.
I was truly relieved when we parted because I had also begun to get an inkling that it was all very well to be working together as artistes but in marriage it is important for a woman to be ready to give more than receive. I had grown up seeing Amma's steadfast devotion to the family and her flawless character as a woman. I was now increasingly seized with the feeling that I was letting myself into a relationship more on the rebound than out of a genuine need for a permanent companion. What's more, I did not want to share a lifetime with someone whose priorities were different from mine. Besides, she certainly would have been drawn to other colleagues in the profession, as I found out, and they to her but that wasn't an issue because I was myself surfacing from an emotional upheaval at that point of time.
The parting of ways did not affect me as was concocted by writers in the media. Journalists were not as rash as they are now but they were just as unmindful of factual accuracy when they wrote about actors. Some of them wrote 'authoritatively' in their gossip magazines and attributed my choosing to remain a bachelor all my life to the assumed heartbreak of not marrying Madhubala. The story had sentimental appeal for readers. Nobody bothered to check out the facts and, at that point of time, I was far too absorbed in my work and my family responsibilities to give clarifications. Let me state categorically that I chose to remain a bachelor because I had young sisters to be married off and for me the taking care of, and ensuring the happiness of, my brothers and sisters were paramount.
The absolute truth is that I had mentally stayed all thoughts of sharing my space with a spouse because I had taken on the responsibility of settling my sisters and brothers. Another widespread canard was that the break-up between Madhu and me caused the heart condition that finally claimed her life. The heart condition that was diagnosed was congenital in her. It was unfortunate that she began to succumb to the condition and had to discontinue the commitments she had made to producers. Unfortunately, medical facilities then were not as advanced as they are now in the area of cardiology.
Madhubala's father, in a bid to show me his authority, got her entangled in a lawsuit with producer-director B. R. Chopra by suddenly making a fuss about the long outdoor work scheduled for Naya Daur (eventually released in 1957) giving her heart condition as a reason for her withdrawal from the film. He came up with an excuse about his daughter's inability to work at the outdoor locations in Bhopal and Poona for the film after some reels were canned. Chopra Sahab was upset and very angry because it was made clear at the very outset, when the script narration was given to the artistes, that it was an outdoor film. There were all sorts of conclusions drawn by people who did not know the sequence of events and the true background when Chopra Sahab, who held a bachelor's degree in law before he took to journalism in Lahore in the pre-independence period, took legal steps to challenge the whimsicality on Madhu's part.
As a fellow artiste, I could do little but fall in line with the producer's decision to replace Madhu with Vyjayantimala, when all sincere and genuine efforts on my part to negotiate an easy compromise without making the issue public became futile. I did feel sorry for Madhu and wished she had the will to protect her interests at least on the professional front without thoughtlessly bowing to her father's wishes all the time. Such submission had an adverse impact not only on her professional reputation but also on her health needlessly.
All through my career I respected the producer's right as an employer to discipline the cast and crew and demand cooperation from them once the contract was signed. Vyjayantimala and I had worked with a fair measure of respect and understanding in Bimal Roy's Devdas (1955) and Chopra Sahab had liked her work. (She had played the role of Chandramukhi, a tender-hearted dancing girl.) He had heard from his own sources that she was hard working and malleable as an artiste. Chopra Sahab went ahead with the replacement of Madhubala by Vyjayantimala without wasting time once he accepted the situation that all the shooting done with Madhubala would have to go into cold storage and the loss of time and substantial funds would have to be reconciled with. The announcement of the renewal of the project and the start of fresh shooting for Naya Daur Madhubala 171created a stir in the media. Much of what appeared in the media was misreporting by gossip writers who twisted and twirled facts to make them palatable to readers. Like Chopra Sahab, I took it all in my stride, though it caused anger and pain at times when I was made to appear as if I had got Madhu out of the film while the truth was that her father pulled her out of the project to demonstrate his authority.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION:August 1, 2017
The Journal of Interdisciplinary Feminist Thought invites contributions for its next issue:
The Power of Social Institutions and Women's Lives
Social institutions, complex organizations of beliefs, values, and expectations of a society, are powerful forces in the determination and regulation of the human behavior of its members. These institutions include governmental, religious, economic, educational, and health care institutions, as well as the media, and the family. Each of these institutions, nationally and internationally, influences the status, structure, and exercise of human rights for women today. For that reason, the editors of JIFT find that it is time to explore and highlight some examples of how powerful institutions may both limit and abuse the rights of contemporary women, and how women have struggled to address these issues.

Alec Baldwin's MSNBC Show Gets Axed
He's no stranger to controversy, and it seems Alec Baldwin may have cooked his own goose with regard to his new show on the MSNBC Network.
Following allegations that he called a paparazzo a "c**ksucking f*g," the "30 Rock" star's program was suspended for two weeks.
And now the New York Post has reported that Alec has been fired indefinitely from MSNBC, though Baldwin's rep took exception to the way the exit has been portrayed.
The spokesman explained, "The show is not coming back. He had questions on whether he wanted to continue."
In addition to Baldwin's alleged gay slur, his termination is also said to be the result of "diva-like behavior toward co-workers."

Hello All,
this web site has helped me with my current BR surgery. I am 4'11, 150lb and my bra size was 34G. I can remember being a 38D in high school. As I got older my breast grew up to a 38G but I had lost some weight and went down to a 34G.
I had my BR on 11-2-2012. I am hoping to become a 34D.
My journey started with a trip to my Primay Care physician for a regular check up and she asked have I ever considered a BR? I told her not really as I did not have the funds to pay for it. She stated that she thought that I would be a candidate and that she would recommend that I see a Plastic Surgeon. I went and saw the PS. He stated that we would need to get approval from my insurance (BCBS) and he thought that i would not have any problems getting appoved as by body frame is small and my current breast did not fit my size. I got approval from the insurance company about 3 weeks later. My out of pocket was 399.00.
The day of my surgery, I was scared, but when the PS came in he made me fell secure. Also the nurses at the hospital stated that the PS was one of the best in the area and that I would be happy with the results. After the surgery I was sore and groogy from the anesthia. When I got home, I took my pain meds and was sleep the entire afternoon. Its been a week today since my surgery and I am still in some pain. I cannot get comfortable when laying down as I can only lay on my back. I am wearing the sports bra with the hooks in the front. I got these from Wal-Mart and they are the best. I brought 2 different sizes since I did not know what size I would be after the surgery. I bought a 40 and 38 (there was no cup size listed). The 38 fits perfect. I am still swollen. I am hoping that after the swelling goes down I will be a 34DD.
So far I am happy with my rusults.

Power in circuit, but not at outlets
A few days ago, I noticed one of my circuits was dead. I went downstairs to check the breaker, but none of the breakers had flipped. I found the correct breaker and flicked it off and back on, but it had no effect.
My first thought was that the breaker was bad, so I went and bought a new one. After switching it in, there was no difference. Just to double check, I swapped the wire from the dead circuit into the breaker that is beside the "dead" one (which I know is working). Again, there was no difference. So the problem definitely is not the breaker.
Next, I got out my stud finder, which also has a voltage detector built in. I figured there must be a break somewhere along the circuit, so I thought I could use the detector to trace the circuit and see where the juice ends. First I checked it with the breaker off. Sure enough there was no voltage on the circuit. Next, I flicked the breaker on and started following the wire from the panel towards the outlets. Here's where it gets wierd... using the detector, I can see voltage along the circuit all the way to each of the outlets on the circuit, and yet none of them work.
There are no GFCI outlets on the circuit, so my guess is one of the outlets may have failed somehow. But I had always assumed that outlets were connected in parallel rather than in series. Am I wrong about that? Could a single failed outlet cause the entire circuit to fail? The breaker doesn't flip when power is applied, so there's no short.
Any suggestions you could throw my way would be greatly appreciated. I have a feeling this is something simple, so I'd rather not bother with an electrician.
You could have a bad neutral connection in an outlet and the hot wire is still working. Do you have a multimeter?
Get your self a tester---they are not expensive---less money than changing out working components in the hope of fixing this.
Use a tester with probes---those non-contact testers are to prone to failure and can not detect a bad neutral
All it takes is one loose connection, bad outlet, back stabed outlet to cause all the others to stop working.
Is easy to chase down the power where it works and at what location it stops, as another has said, could be a bad neutral and the silly stud finder home owners tool will not show you that.
And as another said, backstabbing the wires is just a bad way to go, they almost always cause issues.
Last week I was moving some switches, had the switches connected but loose from the box.
My employer was trying one switch and was wondering why it did not work.
I simply said it was backstabbed and he knew as well as me why it did not work anymore.
It is a simple way to connect wiring, but the worst way to do it.
Wider slot is neutral, narrow slot is hot, semi-circular hole is ground
Multimeter (set to AC voltage) should show ~120V between hot and neutral, ~120V between hot and ground, 0V between neutral and ground.
sandmonkee, you skeering me now!
The hot side of a outlet will have a brass screw, while neutral side will be silver and ground will be green.
We all need to learn some time so no big deal if you do not know.
Electricity is something you need to respect and learn if you want to play with it.
I lost a friend a little over a year ago, was 200 people at his funeral, he built race cars and besides his beautiful wife and 3 small children, was all drivers and people associated with racing. ... He lost his life over a $50 microwave he was trying to repair.
sandmonkee, is nothing wrong with learning new things, just respect electricity and do not do any thing you are not sure of.
Thanks to Levianthan64 for the simple "newbie-level" answer. After checking it with the multimeter I get the following results:
Voltage between hot and ground: 120V
Voltage between hot and neutral: ~55V
I'm guessing this means I have a bad connection to neutral, as another user suggested earlier. I'm going to take out all the outlets on the circuit one by one and check that the connections are all still secure.
Someone also mentioned backstabbing. These outlets were replaced a couple of years ago by an electrician, so its possible they attached by backstabbing, as opposed to using the screw terminals. I'll check for that as well.
Does anyone have any other suggestions or things I should be looking for? If the wires are all attached securely and not touching each other or anything else, is there anything else that could cause this?
Thanks for all the help!
Good work.
Make sure that the screws holding the neutrals in their bus are nice and tight. I bet you anything you will find your open neutral connection at one of your receptacles.
Another good thing to have on hand is an outlet/receptacle tester. This handy little device plugs into your standard 15A receptacle and, using three colored lights, lets you know if your receptacle has any wiring problems or if it is wired correctly. I believe there are also models that allow you to introduce a ground fault into the circuit, so you can see if your GFCIs are working correctly.
During my wiring project, I came across an open neutral myself (as indicated by my receptacle tester and multimeter). Turns out when I pushed the receptacle back into the wall after wiring, my neutral pigtail came loose from its wire nut. Easy to find, easy to solve. Lesson of the day, make sure you pre-twist those wires together well before you tighten on the wirenut!!

Jersey Family Lights Neighborhood Blue For Autism [AUDIO]
A New Jersey family is hoping to bathe their southern Ocean County neighborhood in blue lights this coming Tuesday in recognition of World Autism Day.
Chris Heins of Manahawkin says he and his family will once again be distributing blue lights in his Ocean Acres neighborhood for 'Light It Up Blue,' a worldwide event hosted by Autism Speaks.
He says last year he purchased blue lights and wrote a heart felt letter about their family's experience of having a child with autism and distributed 60 lights to residents on Barracuda Road.
"My kids grabbed a red wagon, loaded up with lights and letters and really went to every single neighbors mailbox and stuck it in their with a light that explained what to do."
"Truthfully, he expected a 10 to 20 percent turnout but the response was overwhelming! We drove up and down the road with a video camera and I'm probably going to tear up now but we cried because I think everybody actually did it."
Heins says this year they're hoping to expand their quest by distributing 200 lights lights to other houses close to their road. They even named Tuesday April 2nd 2013, the second annual "Light It Up Blue In Ocean Acres" an event aimed at showing unified support and sense of community for all children and adults living with autism.
Heins, who's wife and business partner owns a construction company, plan to allow the company's billboard on Route 72 in Stafford Township to be utilized to recognize World Autism Day, their ten year old son Brian who's diagnosed with a severe form of Autism Spectrum Disorder and Stafford Township Special Education Teachers, whom he praises.
He says people should recognize World Autism Day Tuesday by wearing blue and lighting blue porch lights. Prominent landmarks through out the world will also be lit in blue lights to raise awareness and show support for families impacted by autism.
Autism Speaks will also be at the New York Stock Exchange.
High Autism Rates in NJ
New Jersey has one of the highest autism rates in the country. Scientist can't explain why, but one in 49 children (one in 29 boys) in the Garden State are diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.
This information and facts are on the Centers for Disease Control website.

This new home is great! The car ride home was a little scary, but by the end, I was sleeping soundly on my new mommy's lap! These people seem to love me a lot and they give me yummy treats and fun toys. Except, they've been taking me outside in the cold rain and I hate it ! But I quickly figured out if I poop and pee that we can go back inside and get a yummy treat. I just love to sleep the day away and I love my crate too. Life could not be better!
I haven't even met my mommy and daddy yet, but I am so excited to go to the big city! I know that they will love me and care for me and give me kisses and treats and walk me in Riverside Park every single day! I'm the luckiest Sammy in the whole world. Grandma and Grandpa have my older cousin, Mel and I can't wait to meet Mel too! I'm set to arrive on April 21, so keep your eyes open for new pics of me... I'm only gonna get cuter as time passes.

Want to get a head start? Leave your questions in the comments below and we'll address them at the top of the chat.
I love the gamelan (Lou Harrison is my homeboy), and I love Baroque music (Bach is also my homeboy…it's a pretty awesome list). So when I heard that the Metropolis Ensemble was opening its season with works that feature a re-purposing of a Bach cantata courtesy of Ray Lustig and a violin concerto inspired by the gamelan and landscape of Bali by Vivian Fung, I was all. Over. That. Skit.
But it got me thinking about an element of music that is both mesmerizing and mysterious to me: How do you take sound and shape it into time and space? How is Ray going to evoke Bach? And how will Vivian transport us to Southeast Asia? What exactly goes on in a composer's head during that type of process?
We'll grill them on Monday to find out, while also hearing some of their works—and a Grammy-nominated recording by Metropolis themselves—in the process. Join in on the fun and let me know what you've always wanted to ask a composer about their process below.

Yesterday, my husband and I delivered two car loads of artwork to R. Pela gallery in Phoenix! Looking forward to Friday night!
I've been promoting the show and uploading images of newer work. Below is one of a series of miniature paintings of chickens as 'royals.' This half duck, half chicken is titled "Unverified Heir." The series includes six 5 x 7 acrylic paintings in gaudy frames. Not sure if there will be more to the series in the future, or if I've gotten this particular concept out of my system.
While a large portion of my art inventory is at R. Pela, I will be cleaning and organizing my studio again. When we first moved here in January this year, I barely got it functional before I got too busy to really organize it. Now with all the space cleared out, I have no excuse. My shelves are already starting to make more sense. And, hopefully, I will be bringing back far less than I took in to the gallery! If you are in the Phoenix area, I hope you'll stop by the show.
The gallery site is: http://rpelagallery.com/

Visually appealing CSS drop-down menu - Part 1/2
Note: The techniques used in this tutorial are slightly outdated. Please check out my latest CSS3 vertical dropdown menu tutorial for a more current method
The following tutorial will show you how to create a vertical drop-down menu using HTML & CSS.
We have tested the menu on the following web browsers:
- Firefox 3.6.8.
- Internet explorer 7 onwards.
- Google Chrome 5 onwards.
- Opera 9 onwards.
The menu works on all of the above. The only browser which does not support the menu so far is IE6...surprise surprise.
Take a look below to see the end product:
Step 1 - The images
Using photoshop we created the following images. As we require an inner glow & stroke effect we will need two images for each button.
For the background we will use a simple gradient image repeated on the x axis.
Simply click any of the above images to download them. Or if you prefer, you can create your own.
Step 2 - The HTML
To lay the structure of the menu we can use a simple unordered list placed within a DIV.
In order to achieve the drop-down menu effect we nest another unordered list within the required list item.
Below is the HTML list:

  Home

 About

  Our business

  Our History

 Services

  Web Design

  Web templates

  Tutorials

 Contact

  News

As you can see above the code is pretty straight forward and we have nothing unusual in there.
A simple unordered list containing further unordered lists.
If you are unfamiliar with the  tag, don't worry. The tag itself actually does nothing! It is simply used as an identifier to which you can apply CSS.

This book offers readers analysis of musical trends and styles, and explorations of the most potentially explosive issues in jazz today. In "Black, White, and Blue," Collier traces African and European influences on the evolution of jazz in a free-ranging discussion that takes him from the French colony of Saint Domingue (now Haiti) to the orderly classrooms where most music students study jazz today. He argues that although jazz was originally devised by blacks from black folk music, jazz has long been a part of the cultural heritage of musicians and audiences of all races and classes, and is not black music per se. In another essay, Collier provides an analysis of the evolution of jazz criticism, and casts a skeptical eye on the credibility of the emerging "jazz canon" of critical writing and popular history. Other essays include explorations of jazz as an intrinsic and fundamental source of inspiration for American dance music, rock, and pop; the influence of show business on jazz, and vice versa; and the link between the rise of the jazz soloist and the new emphasis on individuality in the 1920s. --From publisher's description.

Healthy Eating: Despite light color, white chili boasts deep flavor
The first time I ate white chicken chili, it was wrapped in a burrito. And I fell instantly in love.
Of course, I'd always been a fan of tomato-based red chili, but the white version — flavored with green chile peppers and thickened with sour cream — struck me as cleaner. And I didn't miss the sometimes cloying sweetness that tomatoes bring to red chili.
So here is my lightened-up version of white chicken chili. It can be eaten straight up by the bowl, over rice (preferably brown) or spooned into a whole-wheat tortilla. To make this dish creamy without any cream, I thickened it by mashing up some of the white beans. Combined with a tiny bit of reduced-fat sour cream, the mashed beans provide this impeccably slimmed-down chili with an unexpectedly luxurious texture.
Good flavor and thickening ability aside, white beans also happen to be a powerhouse of good nutrition. They're a terrific source of fiber — which means this chili will fill you up — and a very good source of folate and manganese.
The list of ingredients in this recipe is longish, but good chili requires a fair amount of flavors. On the other hand, this version, unlike the traditional one, doesn't need to simmer for hours, which makes it quite do-able on a weeknight. Then again, if you happened to cook it on a weekend and didn't serve it until a few days later, the flavors would only improve.
The base of this chili is ground chicken and white beans, both of which are affordable. If you can't find ground chicken, use ground turkey. And if you're not a fan of either, you're welcome to swap in lean ground beef.
As written, this recipe isn't especially spicy. To save time, I call for canned green chile peppers (which are quite mild) and generic chili powder (a blend of ground chile peppers and spices, often oregano and cumin).
But if you wanted to heat it up, you can lose the canned chiles in favor of fresh ones. Poblanos — roasted, peeled and chopped — would be perfect, as would chopped and sauteed jalapenos and serranos. Or you can use a pure chile powder made from ground dried chiles, such as chipotles. Or just finish the dish with your favorite hot sauce.
And please don't forget the garnishes. Even though they require extra work, I can't recommend them highly enough. They add so many layers of flavor and texture to the finished bowl of chili.
Chef Sara Moulton writes this column for the Associated Press.
White Chicken Chili With Lime
Start to finish: 1 hour (30 minutes active)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1 sweet red bell pepper, cored and chopped
1 pound ground chicken or turkey
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1⁄2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1⁄2 cup white wine (optional)
1 1⁄2 cups low-sodium chicken broth (use 2 cups if not using the wine)
Two cans (15 1⁄2 ounces each) white beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (4 1⁄2 ounces) chopped green chiles (use less if you prefer a very mild chili)
1⁄2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
To serve:
Chopped green onions
Chopped fresh cilantro
Grated low-fat Monterey Jack cheese
Lime wedges
In a large nonstick or stick-resistant skillet over medium, heat the oil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the onion and red pepper, then cook for 5 minutes, or until the onion is softened. Add the chicken and cook, breaking up the any large pieces, until the chicken is no longer pink, for about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, chili powder, flour, cumin and oregano and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the white wine, if using, and the broth in a stream, whisking. Bring the mixture to boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, use a fork to mash 1 cup of the beans. Add both the whole and mashed beans and the chiles to the chili and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the sour cream and cook until hot. Season with salt and pepper.
Ladle the chili into bowls and accompany at the table with green onions, cilantro, cheese and lime wedges.

Lackluster Response to State Early Retirement Plan
New York, NY —
Governor Paterson's early retirement buyout plan has attracted less than half of the state workers officials expected to see take the offer. Karen DeWitt reports from Albany.
REPORTER: When the governor first announced the plan, it was hope that as many as 4,500 state workers would take a $20,000 bonus payment in exchange for retiring early. So far, according to state budget officials just 1,089 have accepted the buyout offer. Paterson's budget director, Robert Megna says he's instructing state agencies to try harder to find more employees willing to retire early. The report by budget officials says over 2,600 more jobs have been eliminated through attrition since the budget cut backs began. Those reductions, combined with a hiring freeze should save the state over $260 million. In Albany, I'm Karen DeWitt.

SBG's Cathal Pendred is undefeated in his Cage Warriors stint, with three wins a draw for the organisation.
He meets Bruno Carvalho in the main event of Cage Warriors 49 this weekend, but believes his shot at the champ Gael Grimaud is overdue:
Not looking past Carvalho though, this Unit-off is going to be a fantastic battle in Cardiff come Saturday night."Gael has only had one fight for Cage Warriors this year which is an absolute joke. I'm a fighter and I like fighting, so I was offered his match and I jumped at it. I wasn't going to sit around and wait for the champ to grow a set of nuts, which I doubt will ever happen!"
Edit: Added link because I'm a moron, thanks Grizzly!
