Eco Market (previously known as EthicalCommunity.com) provides such a platform. The site is focused around empowering small businesses and producers to not only list and sell their ethical products on our site, but also encourage regular users of the site to engage and interact with the people behind the products. This capitalises on the growing trend of consumers wanting to know the "who, how and why" behind the products they buy.

I recently got the oem HID housings w/ no HID bulbs or ballasts. In order to install the retofit HID kit, i needed to rewire everything in the harness itself. As HID retrofits go, they use the power and ground from the low beams. I first decided that i needed rewire the 12-pin harness to the 10-pin harness that is found on the stock cars w/out HID's. I did not want to use the auto leveling motor since I would need more parts and it's not something that I absolutely need.
On the 12-pin harness:
1. Signal, city lights, and low beam use the same ground.
2. The high beam ground is connected to connected to the same ground as the auto leveling motor.
3. I cut off all 3 auto leveling motor wires and tied them up.
On the 10-pin harness:
1. I dremeled off the nub on top of the 10 pin plug in order to put it into the location of the 12-pin plug (refer to picture with the yellow arrow)
This is how the wiring went from 12-pin to 10-pin:
Low beam -> Low beam
High beam -> High Beam
Blinker -> Position light
City Light -> Blinker
Low beam ground/Blinker ground/City Light ground -> Low beam ground
High beam ground -> Blinker ground
The city light was supposed to hook up to the position light. But after testing it out, I found that the city light would blink if it was wired this way. So, I switched the city light to the connected to the blinker and it worked perfectly. The city light lights up when the headlights or parking lights turn on, and the blinker blinks.
As you can see in the picture to the red arrow, these connections are 2 low's and 2 grounds that go from the harness, to the ballast, then inside the housing to the ignitor, and then to the bulb.
I cut off all of the wires to this plug and tapped the low beam wire of the harness to the (+) wire coming from the battery that relays power to MY ballast; to the bulb. I tapped the ground in the same fashion. Think of it as the HID retrofit where you just tap the low beam and ground in order to get the signal..... just like on the HID retrofits
In order to get the low beam wire and ground out of the housing to the engine bay, I dremeled two holes to fit both wires through the cover and out the back. This was to relay the power to draw it from the battery to ignite the HID's. (refer to picture with green arrow)
Once that was done, I was finished the wiring and how all i need to do was to fit my HID bulb in there. I electrical taped the actual HID bulb into the location where the actual bulb is supposed to be. I electrical taped it beacuse I needed to make sure that i would be able to change the bulb if needed, so i didnt use JB Weld even though i would have liked to.
In order to get the thick HID bulb wire through the cover, i dremeled a notch the size and shape of the wire to run out the bottom.
Now, I was done and ready to install. I was able to plug in my STOCK harness into the OEM HID housing and everything worked perfectly and flawlessly.
Here are the pics.
This is of the stock harness into the cover of the HID, the 12-pin being taken out
Here are pictures of what I actually had before when i converted my stock headlights to projectors:
And here is a picture of what the car looks like now:

Buy dried yellowroot and other wild herbs at Payne Mountain Farms.
Kudzu (Pueraria Lobata or Pueraria Thomsonii) - Kudzu has a bad reputation in the southern United States. When it gets "loose", it spreads and smothers out everything in its path. It climbs up trees, forms thick mats over the fields, and quickly hides rusted-out junk cars. The vines can cover a house in just one summer. Kudzu, originally from Japan, was imported for use as an ornamental in the landscape, as animal fodder, and for soil erosion control but instead it became an invasive plant.
So -- It may come as a surprise to southern gardeners that kudzu is good for many ailments and has powerful medicinal properties. Kudzu is used to treat heart problems, high blood pressure, and conditions with symptoms of fever, headache, or stiff neck. Kudzu is also used in the treatment of allergies, migraines, and diarrhea. Kudzu root tea is even used to sober up a drunk.
One of the most promising uses for kudzu is in the treatment of alcoholism and addiction withdrawal. The root of the kudzu plant is used in powder or extract form. Nine to fifteen grams of powder are taken daily to inhibit the desire for alcohol. Kudzu also stimulates regeneration of liver tissue while protecting against toxins. Scientists say that two isoflavones, daidzin and daidzein, are responsible for these properties.
These isoflavones have chemical structures that resemble the hormone estrogen. They appear to protect against hormone-related disorders such as breast cancer and prostate cancers. A recent study has demonstrated that isoflavones have potent antioxidant properties, comparable to that of the well-known antioxidant vitamin E. The antioxidant powers of isoflavones can reduce the long-term risk of cancer by preventing free radical damage to DNA.
Kudzu roots contain high levels of isoflavones (up to 12%), which are known to facilitate improved blood flow throughout the body, help ease menopausal symptoms, and improve bone health.
Kudzu was first mentioned in the ancient, oriental herbal text of Shen Nong in A.D. 100. These writings tell how Kudzu was used in the treatment of wei or superficial syndrome. Kudzu has been recognized as an important herbal remedy in the Far East for centuries.
A poem titled, "Kudzu", by James Dicky starts out, "In Georgia, the legend says that you must close your windows at night to keep it out of the house." Kudzu has many names including mile-a-day plant.
The kudzu plant is a coarse, high climbing, twining, perennial vine with attractive, sweet-scented, lavender flowers. It grows better in the South than it does in its native land and has no insect enemies here in the U.S. The huge root can grow to the size of a human body. Many areas of the south have resorted to herbicidal spraying programs to keep the vine under control although goats, when staked out in a patch of kudzu, can keep it under control -- possibly even killing it out. Some kudzu plants may take as long as ten years to kill, even with the most effective herbicides. It is not recommended for home gardens due to its invasive habits.* Please consult with a physician before using any herbal remedy.

|EcommerceBytes-NewsFlash, Number 2202 - January 15, 2010 - ISSN 1539-5065 1 of 3
Etsy saw its annual GMV (the value of all goods sold on its site) jump to $180.60 million in 2009 from $88.23 million in 2008, an increase of 105 percent. The marketplace for handmade and vintage goods continues to attract new users, with over 307,000 members joining in December 2009.
Etsy's traffic figures show consistent growth over the past two years. It's interesting to note that traffic plateaus (or slightly decreases) in two months of the year, December and June, but quickly rebounds. (In February and April of 2009, traffic also dipped slightly from previous months.) Monthly traffic growth compared year-over-year ranged between roughly 60 and 75 percent in 2009.
Etsy became profitable in 2009 under then CEO Maria Thomas, and the company is expanding internationally, opening an office in Germany. Founder Rob Kalin took back the role of CEO this month, and stated that the company's Board of Directors was focused on service not revenue, believing that if Etsy builds the best tools and supports the community, revenue would follow.

Minnesota Wild to Begin Digital Ticketing for Season Ticket Holders in Upcoming 2014-15 Season
SAINT PAUL, Minn. – The Minnesota Wild announced today that digital ticketing will replace paper tickets for Season Ticket Holders beginning in the upcoming 2014-15 season. While roughly half of teams across the National Hockey League, and other leagues in North America, offer some type of digital ticketing, the Wild becomes the first professional sports team in the Twin Cities market to offer comprehensive digital ticketing for Season Ticket Holders.
"The time is right to make this transition," Wild Chief Operating Officer Matt Majka said. "Our fans have become accustomed to using the convenience of online and mobile technology in many other areas of their lives. This initiative helps ensure Wild tickets are the most trusted, convenient and environmentally-friendly we can provide to our customers."
Season Ticket Holders will receive a smart card, the size of a credit card, that contains all of their account data. This card will be scanned upon entry to Xcel Energy Center. Digital ticketing includes fast, convenient online forwarding, with no forwarding fees. Fans can't grab the wrong game tickets by mistake, or hand over the wrong tickets to friends and family.
For more information on digital ticketing, please visit http://wild.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=725586.

Film's 'Fifty Shades' of kinky sex stoke domestic abuse debate
By Piya Sinha-Roy
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A U.S. grassroots movement is urging people to send $50 to women's shelters rather than see "Fifty Shades of Grey," while a Midwest child protection league argues the film blurs the lines of what is healthy or harmful in sex.
With its whips and chains and a sexual relationship based on domination and submission, the first film in author E.L. James' "Fifty Shades" erotic romance trilogy appears headed for the same kind of runaway success as the books that have sold 100 million copies worldwide.
Its arrival in U.S. theaters on Friday, however, comes in the midst of a national debate about sexual violence and domestic abuse, sparked by high-profile incidents plaguing the National Football League and U.S. colleges last year.
Just four days ago, President Barack Obama appealed to musicians and their fans at the Grammy awards to help stop abuse against women and girls.
To be sure, "Fifty Shades" is a tale of consensual sex between two adults.
Formed out of "Twilight" fan fiction, the story follows naive college student Anastasia Steele, 21, who undergoes a sexual awakening at the hands of seductive 27-year-old billionaire, Christian Grey, a practitioner of bondage and domination.
But some activists say the message is still wrong.
"This is about a seasoned predator who is a stalker and an abuser and sadist, honing in on a much younger woman," said Gail Dines, professor of sociology at Boston's Wheelock College. Dines founded the "50 Dollars Not 50 Shades" campaign that urges people to donate to women's shelters, rather than buy a movie ticket. Continued...

Oscars back on top as most-watched awards show
NEW YORK - An estimated 40.3 million people tuned in to this year's Oscar telecast, including a bump in younger viewers from its controversial host.
According to the Nielsen Company, the 2013 Oscars were the most-watched telecast in the last three years. ABC also saw an 11 percent ratings boost among viewers ages 18 to 49, which analysts attributed to the show's host, "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane.
MacFarlane drew criticism from Twitter users and others the day after the show for his jokes about Abaraham Lincoln and others.
It's the fourth time in the past decade the Academy Awards have seen more than 40 million viewers. It also put the Oscars back on top as the most-watched award show, after it lost to the Grammy Awards last year.

NCAA Championships a Success
There were many success stories coming out of Philadelphia last week at the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships.
Anthony Robles, the Arizona State wrestler born with one leg winning a national championship was certainly one that captured the nation's attention.
Penn State, winning a National Championship, was another.
But a 'behind the scenes' success story also took place. A story that was seven years in the making.
Rider University and the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, along with the City of Philadelphia and the Local Organizing Committee (LOC), dreamt of bringing the National Wrestling Championships to the east and to set new attendance records.
Mission accomplished.
"It was Curt Blake (Rider Director of Athletics at that time) and Roger Reina (chairman of the Philadelphia LOC and former head wrestling coach of the University of Pennsylvania), along with the MAAC (Commissioner Rich Ensor, Meghan Bertovich), and myself," said Rider head coach Gary Taylor, a member of the NCAA Wrestling Committee. "We went to California, along with 10 other schools and made a bid for these Championships. We worked hard on the presentation and were able to secure it. When Curt retired (current Rider AD) Don Harnum inherited the monumental administrative task of overseeing the Div 1 NCAA Wrestling Championships in Philadelphia. Don put together a great team as evidenced by the record breaking success."
Part of the sell was being able to accommodate people from the Midwest, people who might not be accustomed to life in the big city.
"We had to get together with SEPTA and the hotels, directing the out-of-town fans to the arena," Taylor explained. "We had to work those types of things out and convince people that this would work. We felt that having the championships in the east, the eastern fans would appreciate it to the point where we could sell the arena out."
That was a bold statement at that time. "Wrestling was not selling out at that time," Taylor said. "It did last year in Omaha, but that was a smaller arena. The previous mark was 97,000. We came in at over 104,000 over the three days (six sessions)."
The Wells Fargo Center, formerly the Wachovia Center, has a capacity for wrestling of 17,366. The NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships' three-day, six-session attendance record was 97,336, set in St. Louis in 2009.
"Like any great team, the formation of the LOC represents talented and motivated individuals who came together with a common purpose - to host a record setting NCAA Wrestling Championships in Philadelphia," said Reina. "The LOC draws representatives from a broad constituency, including co-hosts Rider University and the MAAC, the Wells Fargo Center, and the Philadelphia Sports Congress, along with wrestling coaches and alumni leadership from area colleges."
"The (Division I Wrestling) committee is absolutely thrilled to see the wrestling championships sold out for the second year in a row," said Derek van der Merwe, chair of the Division I Wrestling Committee and senior associate director of athletics at Central Michigan University. "This championship event continues to grow and it is great to see how the city of Philadelphia and the college wrestling community have enhanced this."
"We felt this could be done and it came to pass," Taylor said. "The eastern fans did not let anyone down. They came out and supported it at a major level. I think this is a tremendous success story, from the bidding process, winning the bid, to actually all of the planning that goes into it. It was extremely successful, probably beyond what we could have even hoped for. It went very well."

Palin, Conservatives Invoke "Blood Libel" Accusation To Attack Their Critics Over AZ Shooting
Research ››› ››› DAVID SHERE
In the wake of last weekend's shooting in Arizona, Sarah Palin, Andrew Breitbart, and others in the conservative media have accused some journalists and progressives of manufacturing a "blood libel" against them. Historically, the term "blood libel" refers to the grave anti-Semitic charge that Jews use the blood of Christian children in some religious rituals -- a myth that has long been the source of anti-Jewish violence.
Palin, Breitbart, Others Invoke "Blood Libel" Claim
Palin: "Journalists And Pundits Should Not Manufacture A Blood Libel That Serves Only To Incite The Very Hatred And Violence They Purport To Condemn." In a statement on her Facebook page responding to the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others in Arizona, Sarah Palin wrote:
Vigorous and spirited public debates during elections are among our most cherished traditions. And after the election, we shake hands and get back to work, and often both sides find common ground back in D.C. and elsewhere. If you don't like a person's vision for the country, you're free to debate that vision. If you don't like their ideas, you're free to propose better ideas. But, especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn. That is reprehensible. [Facebook, 1/12/11]
Breitbart: "And To Gutless GOP Establishment Who Watches In Silence The Blood Libel Against @SarahPalinUSA. We Will Remember" From a January 11 tweet by BigGovernment.com founder Andrew Breitbart:
Reynolds At WSJ: "Where Is The Decency In Blood Libel?" In a January 10 Wall Street Journal op-ed, headlined "The Arizona Tragedy And The Politics Of Blood Libel," blogger Glenn Renylolds wrote:
So as the usual talking heads begin their "have you no decency?" routine aimed at talk radio and Republican politicians, perhaps we should turn the question around. Where is the decency in blood libel? [WSJ.com, 1/10/11]
Examiner's Tapscott: Reynolds "Exactly Right To Use The Term 'Blood Libel.' " On January 9, the day after the shooting, Washington Examiner editorial page editor Mark Tapscott wrote in a blog post headlined "Countering liberals' blood libel of conservatives on Tucson":
It appears tonight that many corners of the mainstream media are in full-attack mode seeking to present the Tucson tragedy as the fault of the Tea Party movement and anybody else who has dared in recent years to criticize Democrats, Big Government, Barack Obama, or Obamacare.
Incidentally, I think Reynold [sic] is exactly right to use the term "Blood Libel" to describe the attempt to discredit political opponents by associating them with murderous acts of violence. [Washington Examiner, 1/9/11]
Examiner: NY Times' Krugman "Places The Blood Libel Of Blame For The Tucson Murders" On McCain, Palin, "Right-Wing Extremism." In a January 10 editorial headlined "Paul Krugman's totalitarian temptation," the Washington Examiner stated:
Jared Loughner, the gunman charged with wounding Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., and murdering six others in Tucson on Saturday, held bizarre beliefs about "conscious dreaming" and government mind control imposed through English grammar. No serious person would connect his belief system to a mainstream political ideology. But then there's New York Times columnist Paul Krugman. He places the blood libel of blame for the Tucson murders squarely on the shoulders of "the crowds at the McCain-Palin rallies" and "right-wing extremism." It's the Republicans' fault because "the purveyors of hate have been treated with respect, even deference, by the GOP establishment." Krugman's solution is for "decent people" to "shun" those he holds accountable. But the logic of his argument leads straight to calling for official restrictions on political speech after shunning inevitably fails to do the job. The totalitarian temptation is an ever-present possibility with people like Krugman. [Washington Examiner, 1/10/11]
Human Events: "The Giffords Blood Libel Will Fail." In a January 11 Human Events article, headlined "The Giffords Blood Libel Will Fail," staff writer John Hayward wrote: "The big push to blame conservatives for the murderous rampage of Jared Loughner won't work. In fact, it will backfire. The Left is riding across quicksand on a horse that is dying beneath them. [Human Events, 1/11/[11]
Jews In Middle Ages "Tortured And Executed" For Supposed "Blood Libel"
Anti-Defamation League: Jews "Were Tortured And Executed For Supposedly Abducting And Killing Christian Children To Drink Their Blood Or To Use It In Baking Matzoh -- A Charge Known As The 'Blood Libel.' " From an Anti-Defamation League article on anti-Semitism:
By the high middle ages (11th-14th centuries), Jews were widely persecuted as barely human "Christ-killers" and "Devils." Forced to live in all-Jewish ghettos, they were accused of poisoning rivers and wells during times of disease. Some were tortured and executed for supposedly abducting and killing Christian children to drink their blood or to use to it in baking matzoh -- a charge known as the "blood libel." A large number were forced to convert to Christianity to avoid death, torture, or expulsion, though many secretly practiced Judaism after their conversions. (In recent times, the Catholic church and other Christian churches have rejected these anti-Semitic falsehoods.) [Anti-Defamation League, Anti-Semitism, accessed 1/12/11]
NRO's Goldberg: Use Of "Blood Libel" Phrase "Isn't Ideal" Because It "Almost Invariably" Describes "Anti-Semitic Myths"
NRO's Goldberg: Reynolds Use "Isn't Ideal," "Historically, The Term Is Almost Invariably Used To Describe Anti-Semitic Myths About How Jews Use Blood -- Usually From Children -- In Their Rituals." In response to Glenn Reynolds' Wall Street Journal Piece, National Review Online editor-at-large Jonah Goldberg wrote:
I should have said this a few days ago, when my friend Glenn Reynolds introduced the term to this debate. But I think that the use of this particular term in this context isn't ideal. Historically, the term is almost invariably used to describe anti-Semitic myths about how Jews use blood -- usually from children -- in their rituals. I agree entirely with Glenn's, and now Palin's, larger point. But I'm not sure either of them intended to redefine the phrase, or that they should have. [National Review Online, 1/12/11]

IVF pioneer wins medicine Nobel prize
By Mia Shanley
STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - British physiologist Robert Edwards, whose work led to the first "test-tube baby", won the 2010 Nobel prize for medicine or physiology, the prize-awarding institute said on Monday.
Sweden's Karolinska Institute lauded Edwards, 85, for bringing joy and hope to the more than 10 percent of couples worldwide who suffer from infertility.
Known as the father of in-vitro fertilization (IVF), Edwards picked up the prize of 10 million Swedish crowns ($1.5 million) for what the institute called a "milestone in the development of modern medicine".
As many as 4 million babies have been born since the first IVF baby in 1978 as a result of the techniques Edwards developed, together with a now-deceased colleague, Patrick Steptoe, the institute said in a statement.
"Bob Edwards changed the way we think about having babies," said Dr Alan Thornhill, scientific director of the London Bridge Fertility, Gynaecology and Genetics Center.
The Roman Catholic Church strongly opposes IVF as an affront to human dignity that destroys more human life than it creates because scientists discard or store unused fertilized embryos.
"In vitro fertilization has led directly to the deliberate destruction of millions of human embryos," said Professor David Albert Jones, director of the Anscombe Bioethics Center, a Catholic research institute in Oxford, England.

text: I am a big fan of Mickie Rourke. I have cosplayed as Marv from Sin City and even as Randy the Ram from The Wrestler as tribute to my fave actor. So naturally now, I have my eyes set on a costume of Whiplash from the upcoming Iron Man 2. I have already got a pretty good start, but I am in need of some suggestions/advice for the most important piece: the whips. I am trying to make them out of a material that will be lightweight and not too cumbersome, but most of all that will be easy to detach from the rest of the outfit. Sufficed to say, I do not want to go around for two or three days dragging my arms around all the time, so I am looking to make the whips detachable so I can still move around but will be easy to re-attach for pictures. I am leaning toward making them out of pieces of garden hose, but it seems kind of heavy and stiff. If anyone could suggest something that might work, please say so, it would be well appreciated.

Our View
Congratulations are most certainly in order for the Moffat County High School track team and coaches for the performance at the state meet in Lakewood. The Bulldogs finished eighth overall and brought home two state championships — the 4-by-800 meter relay and the 800-meter run. The performances put a positive finish on an otherwise difficult sports season at the high school.
It's an exciting time for Moffat County High School.
Last week, the MCHS track team competed in the state meet in Lakewood.
Overall, the Bulldogs finished in eighth place, a respectable showing on the season's biggest stage.
The team's appearance, however, was magnified and highlighted by two championship performances.
The 4-by-800 meter relay team, consisting of seniors Alfredo Lebron, Johnny Landa, and Rene and Miguel Molina, won the state championship, breaking a school record in the process.
Lebron later added another state championship, making it his third of the school year, in the 800-meter run.
The editorial board congratulates the track team and coaches for their hard work and effort this season, and the new state champions for their outstanding performances and being a glowing reflection on the Craig and Moffat County community here at home.
This school year wasn't the best for MCHS in athletics, but the track team's state showing is a nice finishing touch.
There were great, winning performances to be sure for several teams and athletes, but largely the sports season was disappointing, to the point where the community identified it as a concern.
Still, there's always hope for next year, and it doesn't hurt to have momentum with new state titles at the end of this one.
The other positive development centered on the high school is graduation set for Saturday, an event that always rates as one of the biggest in our community.
An early estimate is 121 students will graduate Saturday.
To the graduates, the editorial board also passes along our congratulations and wishes them well as they embark on a new and exciting chapter in their lives.
Be bold and good luck, graduates.
And thank you all, students, athletes and coaches, for making your community proud.

the cheapest way is to rent a truck and do it yourself. options include U-haul, Budget truck rental and a few others. you do all the work and all the driving.
the next step up is a commercial mover. the two options available are U-pack and they-pack.
with the u-pack option, you pack all the boxes, they load, deliver and unload. the downside is, if anything is found damaged, they have limited liability because they were not allowed to inspect the boxes before they were sealed and loaded. you should check with your renters/homeowners insurance about this one.
the other option here is to contract the whole deal. the carrier will contract with a local company to come in and pack all your belongings. the movers will load and deliver and unload. another local company will be contracted to unload and put your things away.
and as with anything else, almost every aspect of this is negotiable.
the cost, of course, depends on what you negotiate with the carrier.
all of the major moving companies are similar in cost. their price is based on mileage. deals vary.
when you call for a quote, you will need to know the size and weight of the boxes. they are particularly adept to helping you with this by performing an inventory of your goods.
the inventory can be performed over the phone.

With the restoration of communication links, designated government officials and other humanitarian agencies are able to more efficiently coordinate relief operations. The mobile terminals are transported by helicopter to serve people most in need.
"I noted with concern and sadness the suffering and destruction that has been caused by floods that hit the eastern and northern regions of Uganda," said Sami Al Basheer Al Morshid, Director of ITU's Telecommunication Development Bureau. "There is no doubt that communication links are essential to ensure a more effective and coordinated relief effort. This is why we have, on request from the Uganda Communications Commission, quickly deployed the resources at our disposal."
Patrick Masambu, Executive Director for the Uganda Communications Commission, said: "The satellite terminals to be used in the areas which were severely affected by the floods are very timely and will go a long way in facilitating the relief efforts in the affected areas."
Cosmas Zavazava, Head of ITU's Division for Emergency Telecommunications said: "It is clear that we are making a difference on the ground. For the past three months, we have had to deploy telecommunications resources for disaster mitigation in three different regions. In August, we deployed in Peru following an earthquake; in September we deployed in Bangladesh where floods had wreaked havoc; and now we have had to intervene in Uganda. Telecommunications can save lives when natural disasters strike."

ok. it all started at 19 years old. I've always been 5'2 about 100 pounds. I started modeling and notice all the perky B cups and Fake D cups on the other girls. I was the odd one out with my saggy C's. I always looked at my chest and just wished I had those perky breasts. I thought if I fill my saggy breasts they will look great and perky. I made an appointment with a doctor and he told me if I added implants it would make me more perky. So I got the surgery. 420cc each breast. High profile. Incision threw my belly button. over the muscle. $5,500. Seriously one day after the surgery I looked perfect! I had a small belly button bruise and tiny incision which was barely noticeable and to this day you cant even tell I ever had an incision there! It was amazing. I LOVED THEM!!!
With-In about a year. My implants were falling off my body. I started to notice my breasts drop months after my surgery. They weren't perky anymore. They were twice as saggy as before. It was because I went over the muscle and nothing was holding the implants up. so they sag. i started to get stretch marks. You could also see ripples in the implants when I bent over. It was a nightmare!! I had to get them removed or replaced. so I went back to the same surgeon. I got mad at him because I felt like he should have known and told me. But I guess it was my decision. After talking to him I decided that I wanted to get a lift and new implants. I don't know why but I got 675cc. I remember thinking the implants were really big. I don't know why I thought they would look good on me, a 5'2 100 pounds girl. But I did it. We both thought the larger implants would take up all of the saggy boob space. It came to about $4,000. After the surgery I immediately felt weird. mostly uncomfortable. My chest felt tight. My breast felt too big. When I took my bandages off. I had the double bubble effect in one of my breasts. I cried for a year straight. I didn't think I would ever look normal again. A breast lift is hard to get threw. I had the donut lift. So the marks were only around my nipples. They looked horrible and a few months went by. After the lift a piece of my skin didn't look right on my nipple so I had to go back to the surgeon and he put me under local ana and operated on me and fix one of the nipples that looked to long…. I had surgery awake. It was about $800 I think. It was the worst thing that I've ever gone threw. Someone cutting into your body while your awake. At that point I could have lost it. I looked so far passed horrible. I thought I'd never be with a guy again.
But thankfully. After a year The double bubble pretty much disappeared.- well when I'm standing anyway. I still have it if I lay flat and in some positions but when I'm standing you cant see it. My scars from the breast lift look better. They are still there. and very noticeable but I look a lot better then right after surgery. time has past and I just turned 24 years old; I'm about 105 pounds WITH my implants and I'm getting my 675cc saline high profile implants out next month. I HATE THEM! It seems like everyday I have to accommodate them. I can't sleep on my stomach. If I sleep on my side my arm will hurt because of all the weight. I have no choice but to sleep on my back. Which is annoying because when I lay flat I can feel my implants on my chest protruding out. The gym/running is so annoying too. It's so hard to work out with 5 extra pounds on your chest. When I work out I have to wear a bra with TWO sports bras over it. If I don't my tits will bounce and hurt and it will feel like they are going to break. SEX. Sex sucks with fake tits! If I lay flat you can see where my double bubble was. Also when I lay flat my breasts get hard as rocks! If my fiance trys to rest his body on them I freak out because I'm scared hes going to break them. I'm always constantly scared they are going to break. Sometimes I lose sleep because of it. Now clothes. NOTHING FITS ME NOW! It sucks. Anything I wear makes me look like a skank. My breasts pop out of a teeshirt! Bras are even hard to find because I can't have any push up or padding and I need a 32 DD. Now on to what people think about me. I honestly feel like I offend people with my breasts. I've had so many people say really rude things to me. "Your boobs are too big!" "I bet your breast are really hard" Blah Blah. Constantly I have someone in my face wanting to talk about my boobs. Its awful and embarrassing! I completely understand why people make sure they look natural now. Even the other day I went to a family event and everyone was swimming and I really feel like they didn't tell me because they didn't want my breasts out in a bathing suit. I feel trashy. Well thankfully I can get them out! THANK GOD! and that's exactly what I'm going to do. I'm really nervous. I hope they look ok after I get them removed. One thing I would have to say to any girls out there that is consider getting breast implants is… make sure you don't get them to big. Try to get them to look as natural as possible. 675cc is too much! I think 420 should be the max! Secondly: I honestly feel like most guys like natural girls. If you got at least a B consider yourself lucky and be happy with them. If you want to stand out more dye your hair bleach blonde, don't go under the knife.

"Let the World tickle your Heart."
Bodhichitta – the Awakened Heart
"If we were to ask the Buddha, "What is bodhichitta?" he might tell us that this word is easier to understand than to translate. He might encourage us to seek out ways to find its meaning in our own lives. He might tantalize us by adding that it is only bodhichitta that heals, that bodhichitta is capable of transforming the hardest of hearts and the most prejudiced and fearful of minds.
Chitta means "mind" and also "heart" or "attitude." Bodhi means "awake," "enlightened," or "completely open." Sometimes the completely open heart and mind of bodhichitta is called the soft spot, a place as vulnerable and tender as an open wound. It is equated, in part, with our ability to love. Even the cruelest people have this soft spot. Even the most vicious animals love their offspring.
Bodhichitta is also equated, in part, with compassion — our ability to feel the pain that we share with others. Without realizing it we continually shield ourselves from this pain because it scares us. We put up protective walls made of opinions, prejudices, and strategies, barriers that are built on a deep fear of being hurt. These walls are further fortified by emotions of all kinds: anger, craving, indifference, jealousy and envy, arrogance and pride. But fortunately for us, the soft spot — our innate ability to love and to care about things — is like a crack in these walls we erect. It's a natural opening in the barriers we create when we're afraid. With practice we can learn to find this opening. We can learn to seize that vulnerable moment — love, gratitude, loneliness, embarrassment, inadequacy — to awaken bodhichitta.
An analogy for bodhichitta is the rawness of a broken heart. Sometimes this broken heart gives birth to anxiety and panic, sometimes to anger, resentment, and blame. But under the hardness of that armor there is the tenderness of genuine sadness. This is our link with all those who have ever loved. This genuine heart of sadness can teach us great compassion. It can humble us when we're arrogant and soften us when we are unkind. It awakens us when we prefer to sleep and pierces through our indifference. This continual ache of the heart is a blessing that when accepted fully can be shared with all."
(From Pema Chodron, The Places that Scare You)
"Conventionally, being fearless means that you are not afraid or that, if someone hits you, you will hit him back. But we aren't talking about that street-fighter level of fearlessness. Real fearlessness is the product of tenderness. It comes from letting the world tickle your heart, your raw heart. You are willing to open up, without resistance or shyness, and face the world."
(From Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, The Sacred Path of the Warrior)
Bodhichitta and the 4 Immeasurables (compassion, loving kindness, joy, equanimity) are core notions of traditional Buddhism and offer at the same time great teachings for our modern life. If you are inspired, you can find out more during the "Bodhichitta Retreat" at Dechen Chöling, a 1-Week-Meditation Retreat, June 8-15. Register online!

Purchasing 09 X6 5.0..but don't think I'm being offered a good deal..
I'm new here. I'm in the process of purchasing a 2009 X6 5.0 and am supposed to be picking it up this weekend. It has almost 18,000 miles on it.
My concern though is whether I'm being jurked around on the price (I'm a female). They were asking $62,000 for it. It has all of the main packages..Comfort Access, Sport Pack., Cold Weather, Premium Sound, Rear view camera, Premium Package.
The first thing we told the salesman (this is at a well known BMW dealership) was that we wanted the best price possible..hoping they would take off at least $3000 since the 2012's are out, but they don't seem to want to come down.:eek:
I left a deposit for it and everything's ready to go..but today I found a 2009 with 16,000 loaded for $54,999..it's just not the color I wanted.
I called the salesman to let him know what I'd found at a different dealership..and he immediately seemed frustrated..saying that the deal was done and that there wasn't much he could do. What I wanted to say was, "sir MY deal isn't done until I say it is"..but I just told him that since I called while he was off today..to wait until he got back into the office tomorrow.
I hate dealing with used car salesmen:thumbdwn:
Any advice??? Thanks
I mean you could always walk... Might not get the deposit back. But if the savings far outweigh the deposit I'd do i. Personally I opted to not look into the 2009's because its pre Idrive update.
This is the only 2009 x6 50i in my area for 30 miles (50i 35k miles for $59k) and I'd say if you can get another fully loaded for $54k (or a few bucks less, I think you could at least get $500 of the price) you got a good deal. I'd just run the autocheck and carfax to be sure. And if it's a BMW dealer ask to see the internal history report (the one that only the dealer is allowed to have) on both cars.
The internal report shows everything. For instance I had a 335 I got cpoed and when I asked for it, I saw some things that neither carfax/autocheck caught (nothing bad, but just stuff you wouldn't see)
Recap: $7k off almost 2k less miles just do the background stuff and I'd say get that one :D
well, for used car, hard to say about the price. but, for used car, normally, price = quilty. I know there's a cheaper used car, but how can you say is better than the one you looking for?
Never put deposit before you 100% sure to buy.

Rickztahone's 55g and 2 x 10g projects (update 02-13-11)
well, after reading excessively and irritating quite a few people through PM i have finally made plenty of progress on starting these 3 tanks. I will be tackling all 3 at the same time which should be fun :hihi:.
So first let me start with the tank and livestock i'm parting with shortly. i have been a discus keeper for quite a few years now and i am sad do see my discus go but i want to take on a new challenge. i currently have a 125g 6ft tank with 11 discus originally but now am down to 8 with 3 waiting to be picked up (deposit was left). The money i am making from the discus and tank has been going towards buying all the things i need for these 3 tanks. Since these will mainly be shrimp tanks i could not keep the discus since they have been notorious shrimp eaters. So, here are some pictures of my discus and 125 currently:
full tank shot
that is a 7" whopper right in the middle which has scratches because breeding has gotten fierce as of late in this tank. he scratched himself on the driftwood.
the tank was predominantly turqs but i had quite a mix at one point. the red melons were some of my first discus which is why i kept them. they hardly have peppering at all. those are sold and waiting to be picked up currently.
you can actually see the red melons laying on the power head here, lol.
So, with the sadness that came from selling all my discus and shortly my 125 i embark on this new challenge.
55g will be the community tank with co2
10g no co2, will be mainly the selective breeding tank
10g no co2, will be the culls tank
hopefully i can remove the rim from both of these with no problems
I currently have 2 XP3's in my 125 which have 2 Hydor 300w inlines. I will be using these on my 55 and more than likely adjust the flow so that there isn't a crazy tornado in the tank. I doubt i will need a power head.
The 10's will hopefully have 2 Eheim 2213's (i bought one so far) w/ lilly pipes.
All 3 tanks will have:
RCS i just acquired some great ones that are so red they look like fire reds
CRS so far i have A-S+ grade
only the 55 will get around 100 chilli's or so
Otos for 55
and possibly BNP depending if they do not eat shrimp, i still have to read up on that.
55g will get a 48" T5HO w/ 2 (or possibly 3) bulbs. this will be raised with fixture legs
10g's will both have a 48" T8 32w suspended over them (yet to determine the height)
I bought a 2 stage concoa regulator off ebay and i bought the post body from Jason. It has a clippard solenoid, Fabco needle valve and i bought a JBJ BC from a fellow member. the 10# CO2 tank i also bought on ebay new and the local airgas said they will fill it for $14. My CO2 will be diffused with a rex style reactor which i am still working on.
55g I will be buying MTS from a fellow member and i am yet to decide what i will cap it with, i am still reading on it, i know i want to go with black for sure though.
10's I have already bought 12L of ADA Amazonia
55g will have full dry fertz dosing, I am still asking on another thread which i need to use considering my lighting and water parameters.
10's will not have any fertz in the water column, maybe some root tabs and such.
All are yet to be built but i am fairly sure i will get around to building both pretty soon, lol :tongue:.
I will go with 3/4 wood and paint it black, i will not stain any of it since i hated how my 125 stand came out, it just seems i am not that handy with a paint brush. So i figured if i just painted it it might be the easiest route. the 55g Canopy will be a flip canopy.
As mentioned before the 10's will have a hanging light fixture and the stand for the 10's will hopefully match the one for the 55
I am completely unsure, there are just too many beautiful plants out there but i think i will try to edit myself as much as possible and only get a few types as oppose to a whole bunch of plants that makes it look cluttered. i plan on keeping some of the plants i currently have, some of which i do not know the name of. I will keep my driftwood with anubias and maybe the huge ball of java moss, see pic:
i'm concerned that this piece might be too large for a 55 and might not use it. it would be a shame since it's such a nice piece, maybe in a corner somewhere?
well, that is all i can think of for now, here are all the pictures:
this is where my shrimp are currently kept in, not the prettiest but it works
the lighting was not bad at roughly 20 bucks inclucing bulbs at home depot
other 9L en route from ADA
it took me a while to piece this together (the acquiring of the parts, not the actual building, Jason assembled the whole needle valve, check valve and solenoid) :icon_smil
that is all for now, i will be taking pictures as i make the stands/canopies and a few other things. thanks for viewing!
Man, that was the sweetest looking discus breeder tank I've ever seen. I don't know how you got up the nerve to take it down. The discus themselves look sweet as well. You got more pics of it??
Good luck with the CRS tanks. Aside from mosses, I think hygros are the ideal plant for a CRS tank; they don't require much care and they absorb their fair share of nitrates. I've learned the hard way that a CRS tank shouldn't be too densely planted. It makes cleaning and keeping track of them a real hassle.
that's when they were a tad younger. i still had my domestic brown then
full tank shot
and this was my Penang Eruption which was one of the first to sell on CL for $75! She was a beaut and had intense pattern. i can't believe i sold her so cheap, she was 6.5"
i forgot to mention my water change plumbing. I bought a temperature control valve since my discus like the warmer water. So the temp valve keeps the temp from going over 84F even when i have both valves fully open. here's a shot under the stand where the valves are for H and C.
on that same picture you can see where i made a hole for the pvc drain through my wall and out to the side of the house to the front lawn. here's where i placed the pvc end to drain the tank.
It has a cap to keep critters out.
here's a shot of how the temp valve looked at first, but i had to change it a bit due to the fact that it mixed both the H/C water through the temp valve. Now, it mixes them through the top side of the U which has both the H/C added to it and does not reduce the output pressure. It took some tweeking but i finally got it to where i liked it. Sry, i don't have any current pics of how it looks now so i had to settle for the old one.
i generally do not use the hose to fill up the 125 since the pvc leads directly to the U that hangs on the rim, but i added the hose so that i can fill up another tank if necessary. It use to take me quite a while to do a full water change, in my case from 80-100%. It takes me roughly 20 minutes to do a full WC now
after much struggling with these 10's to make them "rimless" i finally got them bad boys off, lol. there is a silicone residue that i was not able to eliminate even with a razor. i also installed the shop lights but i am not sure if it is a good distance from the tanks. also, those lights seem to be emitting some heat which kind of scares me due to the fact that i need that tank to stay in the low 70's due to CRS's. i will monitor the temp closely.
The stand was relatively easy to make. of course that is not how it is going to remain but for the time being i just built the structure and i will by all the wood to make it all nice pretty later :biggrin:.
i included a shot of the 5.5 at the end with a shot of the gorgeous RCS i got from Nature Aquarium locally, i swear they look like fire reds! ($3.50ea, what a bargain!)
on to the pics:
please excuse the water marks on the 10's, i had just finished cleaning them. also, the pics are super exposed, i had to shoot on auto because i'm kind of in a rush.
well, let me know if you have any feedback, good or bad :icon_wink.
Those are some red cherry's nice. Is ur 55 going to have tons of shrimp too or just the 10's? A 55 shrimp tank would be sick.
Why are you downsizing from the 125 to a 55?
i finally finished my reactor ;)
well, i have an update finally. i have been hard-pressed for money lately so the builds are taking a little longer than i would like. I bought the slim-line backgrounds for all 3 tanks, fairly cheap too. i also finished the skeleton of the 55 stand today but i didn't bring it into the house as of yet. i still need to buy lights/substrate/fauna for the 55.
The 10's are pretty much ready to go, but since they have aquasoil they will not be cycled for a while. i was thinking of growing some HC with DSM, my question is, if i do that how long will it take to cycle the tank AFTER i finish with the DSM? i have honestly never cycled a tank, i have always taken media from another filter and started a cycle that way.
here are the pics: the 55 didn't have such great lighting seeing as it was on the floor. the last picture is the one that shows all tanks, a sight my wife is not too happy with! LOL. i'm yet to sell all my discus in order to sell my 125.
This picture shows pretty accurately the actual color of the background.
so i wanted to try out the DSM. If it doesn't work oh well, if it does, great! I don't think i have enough lighting on the smaller tanks to grow HC but we shall see. Can anyone tell me if the placement is off on my planting of HC for optimum emersed growing?
Rick ~ The new tanks are looking good. I love the backgrounds. Man I wish I lived closer to you, I'd smack you for taking down that 125 :icon_evil. What beautiful fish.
As for the DSM. You should get a spray bottle and spray the back AS to keep it moist. You also don't want that puddle in the front. I know it's hard with the steep incline, but you just need to stay on top of it. You should be able to grow the HC no problem with the DSM, but if you're not going to have co2 on these tanks, it's going to melt when you fill it.
As far as the DSM, its you who introduced me to it, so thx. Also, do you recommend for me to remove the small amount of water? Or just keep the plants above the water line? All 3 tanks will have co2, so hopefully once i flood the tank it wont melt. I do have a spray bottle with water and dry fertz mixed in. I was planning to just spray 2x's daily, do you recommend spraying more times? Thx Anthony
I used a turkey baster to remove the extra water and sprayed the AS and HC when it looked like it needed it. 2x's a day should be plenty. I'm new at the process too, so take my advise with a grain of salt.
I'm doing a little project in my garage with DSM and HC. I have an old 48" t8 and some tupperware with AS and HC clippings. I didn't plant anything, I just spread it out and let it do its thing. So far it's been 2 weeks and I'm starting to see it take off. Oh yeah, I have only sprayed it 2 times total. I'm trying to see if planting each stem and spraying it daily was worth it. So far it looks like it's not.
In regards to the backgrounds. I still think it's worth it to have them in. The plants will never cover the back completely. Unless you are do a moss wall or something similar. Keep up the good work. It's coming together nicely

Josh Turner, Wife and Sons 'Find' Harmony in Recording Studio
Josh Turner had some pretty special backup singers on a song from his recently-released album, "Punching Bag": his wife Jennifer and their three sons Hampton, Colby and baby Marion. The singer recruited the whole family to join him on "Find Me a Baby," a happy tune he penned with producer Frank Rogers.
"The kids did fine in the studio," Josh tells The Boot. "I was concerned about whether or not Marion would be able to do anything at that age … he was born in December of 2010, and when we were in the studio it was really early after him being born. So we were just making him laugh, because we just wanted him to make any kind of good sound. We were fortunate to have Marion laughing and Colby singing in that between a baby and little boy phase. And Hampton and Jennifer sounded so much alike that we actually had to pan them to opposite sides to tell them apart — it was just really eerie. They'll do that around home, they'll start singing a song at the same time in unison, and if you close your eyes you can't tell them apart. It's really weird!"
Josh cherished having the boys in the studio with him and being able to capture that moment in time forever on the CD. He notes that he's thankful to be able to keep his family close on the road as he travels. Jennifer sings and plays piano in the band with him each night, and the couple is able to balance their careers and family life beautifully at the moment, something the singer definitely doesn't take for granted.
"I didn't have any expectations of what my family life would end up being like," says Josh. "But I've been very blessed in my life to have a wife who loves me and supports me and is able to be in my band and travel with me. We're blessed to be at a level in my career where I can afford to take out a bus of my own and bring my whole family with me, so that's great, too. The boys are out with us all the time, and it's just great to be able to turn around onstage and see my wife back there behind me. We'll go back to our bus and have our three little dudes greet us at the bus door, so I can't complain."
Josh and his family band travel to New York City this week for an appearance on "Good Morning America" and then a show for fans Thursday at the Best Buy Theater. Keep track of his tour schedule here.

Foxy mamas! Nothing highlights the strength of a Black queen quite like the sultry '70s.
With the help of actresses Tika Sumpter, Naturi Naughton and Rutina Wesley, a fab spread in the October issue of Essence pays tribute to iconic TV sleuths of the decade. The up-and-coming starlets are dressed in ensembles inspired by the revolutionary era.
Tika rocks a full afro, while Naturi and Rutina don wavier locks. A glossy pic of all three is frame-worthy with its fur collars, raspberry lips and focus on the three gorgeous, dark chocolate beauties – something you don't see much of these days.
The trio is decked out in pieces from Tracy Reese, Gucci, Michael Kors, Tom Ford and more.
