According to an ancient Mayan legend chocolate came from Paradise. The god Quetzalcoatl came to Earth on a beam of the Morning Star with a cacao tree and taught the people how to make the beans into a drink thought to bring wisdom and knowledge to those who consumed it. Thus it began - the fascinating journey of chocolate in love and war. "What use are cartridges in battle?" asked George Bernard Shaw (1894), "I always carry chocolate instead." Most soldiers, however, carried both. British troops stationed in South Africa during the Boor War received specially molded chocolate bars from Queen Victoria. M&Ms had their start with the U.S. military in 1940 and American soldiers in WW II carried a Ration D bar (pictured below) of concentrated chocolate. American troops and Desert Storm troops carried specially designed Hershey bars able to withstand temperatures of 140 degrees F.

Create new motions of the flesh.
And cause them long for you know what
If they but taste of chocolate."
James Wadworth, 1768-1844, A History of the Nature and Quality of Chocolate
Legend says chocolate is a powerful love potion and history is full of stories about people who put chocolate's reputation to the test: Montezuma, Casanova, Marquis de Sade to name a few. St. Valentine's day continues the tradition of sending chocolates to the one you love - the idea being that the candy's mysterious properties will seduce your beloved's heart and cause him or her to return your feelings.

PROJECT LEADER(S): Tiffany Harrelson, NCCES
One of the biggest challenges in an organic production system is weed control. Weeds reduce yields by competing with desirable plants for water and nutrients. They can also harbor insects, serve as alternate hosts for diseases, and interfere with harvests. Because organic farmers are not allowed to use herbicides, they must find other, efficient ways to control weeds.
The farm cooperator selected a half-acre site on which two types of rye, abruzzi and a variety not stated (VNS), were planted in the fall as cover crops. There were three treatments. No-till rye, rye and plastic, and fabric and plastic. Each treatment included the following crops: Bell Pepper, tomato, jalapeno peppers, green chili, and sprite melon. All cultivars were transplanted in the spring. The cooperator monitored crops weekly. Marketable yield data was collected and analyzed.
The rye treatment was not effective in year one. Weeds outgrew the transplants, resulting in a 2 percent survival rate of transplants. The rye and plastic treatment was good, but tomatoes that came in contact with the rye rotted, leaving a mess. The plastic and groundcover treatment was best; marketable yields were highest of all three treatments, and it was all together easier to manage.
No-till rye transplant production may be an option if rye is used as a cover crop for four years or more. Rye centers and plastic rows is a good weed control option if the farmer can keep fruit off of the rye before rotting. Plastic and groundcover fabric provides good marketable yields. Groundcover can be reused for up to five years, but plastic is generally good for one year. Lay-flat pipe can be re-used, but drip tape is generally only good for one growing season. Weeds sprout through planting holes, so hand-weeding replaces cultivation. Waste is a major issue.

" Brand: ELC / Age: 12 months / Type: Children's Furniture "
We recently bought some nice garden furniture for our decking outside (that's probably why it rained non stop in April, sorry) and we wanted to get some tables and chairs that my little girl could sit at too. In The Early Learning Centre we found these plastic chairs and table which are perfect. Although they are not specifically designed for outdoor use and can be used inside we decided that because they were plastic they would be fine outside and quite easy to clean too.
We bought a set of two pink chairs which cost £25 which I didn't think was too bad. We had to buy the table separately as they are separate items although they go together and the table cost £25 too. The chairs are quite chunky which I really like but quite light so they are very easy to move around. They are a bit bulky but because they are lightweight they are quite easy for my little girl to move too which is great because she moves them around all the time and likes to sit in different places in the garden (when we get a chance to go out there that is!)
The chairs have a very low centre of gravity and are fairly low down to the ground too which is great as they will not topple over if your little one sits on the die of them and not completely on them properly. In this way I feel they are quite safe and much better for little kids that a plastic grown up chair or anything like that. My little girl can sit on these chairs happily and her feet touch the ground too, only just, but they do touch so she can get on and off the chair herself as well which I like.
The chairs have quite a chunky look to them and they are quite rounded in appearance too. The back is rounded as well and I think they look quite stylish for a kids chair. THere are no arm rests which I think is a good thing as it makes them easy to be climbed up upon and makes it easier for little kids to get up and sit on. The only bad thing I have to say is that because they are made of plastic they are quite slippy so if your kid is wearing something quite silky they will slip a bit when they sit on the chair but this is not such a big problem.
The table looks just like the chairs so I like that they are in keeping with each other and are a set. I also find the table is quite lightweight too which is great because you can move it around easily and my little girl can also grab it and drag it if she wants to put it somewhere else. What I also like is that the legs come off so if you do need to store this table in the garage over winter it will not take up as much room as it would if you couldn't remove the legs. The Early Learning Centre has definitely thought about this table because its quite functional and well thought out for kids doing crafts on. The table surface is slightly textured to stop paper from sliding around and there is a shallow trough for pencils, crayons etc so these don't slide off the table if you leave them on there. My little girl really likes sitting here eating her lunch when we are at the adults table and its perfect for when her friends come round too.
All in all these are nice plastic chairs and table and are perfect for your little ones.
My daughter took an instant shine to this table and chairs set at a friends house recently, and as it looked really useful I decided to splash out, and purchase one for the garden.
The furniture is of a decent quality as to be expected of the Early Learning Centre, however on the downside it is also pricey which is not unusal of this shop. I usually find that the quality justifies the cost though.
This set is not really a set, although the items have been made to complement each other perfectly. The table comes in blue or pink and costs £22, and the chairs are available separately in red or blue for £22 a pair.
I have to say this annoys me slightly as you can't really purchase one without the other, but on the other side of the coin it does allow flexibility for those that already have some toy furniture. I would also prefer if the chairs came in pink but it's quite nice to have the contrast I suppose.
Anyway I digress! As money is a little tight at the moment, I decided to keep an eye out for these on Ebay and was lucky enough to win a table and chairs for just £12, which I was pleased as punch about.
Having collected them I was delighted to see they were in good condition and looked only lightly used. I feel this is testiment to the ELC and its products which tend to stand the test of time.
Both the table and chairs are sturdy, chunky and not at all flimsy, and my daughter has clambered all over them without yet tipping them over, even though they are also lightweight and portable.
The table has long grooves in the top to hold pencils and paintbrushes making it perfect for drawing or arts and crafts. At the moment my daughter is too young for this as she won't stay still for long enough, so she just uses it to sit at and have a snack or drink. She is 18-months and I can really see this coming into its own when she is two or three, especially when she can have a little friend sit on the opposite chair!
I can't fault this set at all, apart from the price, but it really depends how much you are willing to spend as it is certainly durable and in that respect will last years.
Early Learning Centre have come up top trumps with this fantastic table and chairs!
My daughter celebrated her 2nd birthday a few weeks ago. I went down the arts and crafts route with her, and decided I wanted to get her a table and chairs to sit at while doing her arty stuff. I looked around for ages, struggling to find a nice and sturdy set, I came across lots but they were all very flimsy and cheap looking.
I then came across this set on the ELC website. The table is available in two colours, pink and blue (we went with pink!) and the chairs are sold seperately in sets of two, in either red, or baby blue (we got the blue ones.)
When they were delivered, I was surprised at how big the boxes were. I was very impressed on opening. The table is very thick and sturdy looking. We had to assemble it ourselves - the legs just needed slotting in to the table top. Again, the legs are very thick, but the feet also have non slip grips on the bottom. When assembled, the table is a very good height, my 5 year old also fits at it comfortably, so it will last my two year old a good few years before she outgrows it.
We then assembed the chairs, which again are very thick and sturdy, we just had to slot the feet into the seat, and again the chairs also have the non slip grips on the feet. This makes it very handy for our daughter, as we have laminate flooring, so her table doesn't slip across the room if she bumps it.
So far, she has managed to cover her table in finger paints, crayon, chalk and felt tip, but all of these have wiped off simply with a baby wipe, so another bonus is how easy it is to keep clean.
It is a very attractive little set, the colours are pretty without being in your face, and there is a cute pattern along the edges of the table, and the sides of the chairs.
My husband was a bit wary of how pricey they were - the table sells for £22 and for 2 chairs it is another £22, but even he admits now that it is worth it because of how strong and sturdy it is, and it is very obvious this table will last for many years.
I couldn't recomend this set more highly if your child needs a play table, its worth splashing out that little bit extra on for a set that will last a lot longer than most basic sets,
ELC (Early Learning Centre) Table and Chairs......
A friend of mine has a small table and chair set for her two children and every time we visit their house Jack just loves to sit down on the chairs and play at the table. TI was for this reason that I thought a table and chair set of his own would be a great Christmas present for Jack.
Because of having so many toys about the place, I thought this would be one good present from my parents to Jack and so it was them who coughed up the money. The table and chairs are sold separately and usually retail for £20 for the table and £20 for two chairs. Luckily at the time of buying them, there was a small discount on bringing both items down to £16 a piece.
There are two colours to choose from a pink table with small flower along the sides or a dark blue table with a square pattern along the side. The chairs are either dark red with the square pattern or turquoise with the flower pattern. Now Jack being a boy I was certainly not getting a pink table but I really did not like the look of the dark red chairs so I opted for getting the turquoise ones. The flower pattern on the chairs is hardly noticeable and personally, I would prefer a nice colour for the chairs rather than worry about the pattern.
The two chairs come in one large box but each chair comes without the legs attached so that minimal assembly is required when you get home. No tools are needed and the legs fit in snugly which means that they are exceptionally sturdy. The table is the same with legs that lock into place and need to be firmly pushed down. Total time for assembly was under ten minutes and very easy.
I am really pleased with how the table and chairs both look and work. They are a great item to have in the front room for Jack to play at. It is perfect for him to play with his Play Doh or to do some colouring and the other day we had lunch sat there. The chairs are strong enough for an adult to sit on (even a hefty one such as me!) With thick chunky legs and a sturdy table you couldn't ask for better quality.
These chairs and the table are a brilliant buy and well deserving of a five star rating and a HIGH RECOMMENDATION. My friend has had her ELC set for over 5 years now and they are still going strong. I think the age recommendation is from 12 months to 5 years and they will definitely last that long. Compared to other cheaper versions of this set I would say that it is most definitely worth paying that little bit more to get a set that is going to last and be safe.
I hope this has been of some help.
Thanks for reading.
Lightweight plastic chairs with matching table are ideal for art & craft time and snack time.

NEW HAMPSHIRE WILDERNESS ACT OF 2006 -- (House of Representatives - September 25, 2006)
Mr. BRADLEY of New Hampshire. Mr. Speaker, once again I thank my colleagues from Guam and New Mexico for their support of this legislation. Like Congressman Bass's bill previously, my bill expands by nearly 11,000 acres the Sandwich Range Wilderness Area in the central part of the White Mountain National Forest.
The Forest Service in the State of New Hampshire, working once again with environmental groups, with businesses involved in the forest products industry, developed a comprehensive plan for the management of the White Mountain National Forest. Both of these wilderness proposals have seen fit to have garnered the support of everyone in New Hampshire that I am aware of.
The Forest Service plan had absolutely no appeals and is in the process of being implemented. The legislation that myself and Congressman Bass have separately proposed would implement the two wilderness proposals and, as I have repeatedly stated, has received no objections.
It is certainly my hope, and I appreciate the support of my colleague on the other side of the aisle, as well as my colleague from New Mexico, for this legislation, should go forward this afternoon. It will protect the New Hampshire environment. It will also serve the forest products industry in my State. And I would urge my colleagues in the strongest possible way to vote for both of these bills later on today, despite the call for a vote potentially by my colleague on the other side of the aisle

Dave Dunn. Lon and other CFX'ers
March 3 2012 at 12:28 PM
Recently obtained a new.old stock CFX in .177. Would like to make a few mods and this would be my most advanced effort and would like the advice of others before I start. In order of preference.1) Add a "gold" trigger. 2) I need to quite it down a bit, it is louder than my Benjamin Trail in .22 and that is about where I need to be at a minimum. I have a few fussy neighbors. Will a LDC be worth the effort? I've read some opinions for and against the LDC. 3)Will be doing a lube tune. I am not looking for more power as most of my shooting is paper punching. Would like to smooth the action out a bit. Again I've read for and against a nitro piston swap. Ant opinions? 4) Lastly, I thought I read a post about a mod to the loading port for easier access. Was I dreaming or is there such a mod. Any comments and help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Greg

I worship Shiva and Shakti.. their relationship is what defines life. One is the constant stable consciousness and the other is the beautiful dancer of evolution and change.
Both complete each other, similarly in our lives, the wheel moves only when we dance like the flickering flame of evolution and we are happy and content when the consciousness is always steady and balance. We are individuals ( the ego less I ) living in harmony ( the ego less I accepting and surrendering to changes ) with others.
Shiva, the man in eternal bliss, the wick that never gets disturbed. Shakti, the vibrant flame that sways with the change of time, wind, season and heat. Together they generate orja – light and heat – LIFE.
Be yourself, the constant you but be flexible to change with the change in time, you shall be the light, support, passion or reason for your life as well as others…

Take in the stunning scenery and wonderful wildlife along the East Coast from Sydney to Cairns. Most of the Coast is an adventure that introduces you to both sides of modern Australia, the bright lights of the big city and the raw beauty of the Outback, ticking off a host of 'A-list' destinations. You'll be shearing sheep in the Outback, trekking national parks, partying in all-Aussie beach resorts, taking a 4x4 adventure around the world's largest sand island and snorkelling the pristine Great Barrier Reef.
There are no planned activities during the day, so check into the hotel and explore the city.
If you arrive early enough, head down to the harbour's edge to 'The Rocks' historic area and the Opera House.
Additional Notes:
Want to start your Down Under adventure with an adrenaline rush? Add the 'Sydney Adrenaline Bundle' or 'Sydney Bridge Climb' extra to your tour. Get an incredible view of the iconic Sydney Harbour from the top of the Harbour Bridge, then zip through the waterways on a jet boat ride if you book the 'Adrenaline Bundle'. PLEASE NOTE: If booking either of these extras, a pre-night in Sydney is highly recommended as the Bridge Climb starts early in the morning on Day 1.
Included Activities:
Arrival Day and Welcome Meeting
Depart in the morning and head to a small country town for lunch before continuing to Nundle Sheep Station for the night.
At the sheep station, have the unique opportunity to meet an expert sheep shearer. Experience a shearing demonstration and learn about local sheep farming. At the end of the day, enjoy a lamb dinner with the locals before sleeping in historic shearer's quarters.
Additional Notes:
The sheep station is quite remote, and there is usually no reception for mobile phones.
Included Activities:
Wine Tour
Sheep Shearing
Private Vehicle (6.00 hour(s), 380km)
After breakfast, drive to Tamworth, the country and western music capital of Australia and home to a giant guitar. Arrive in Bingara in the early afternoon for an included visit to a historic gold mine where you can try gold panning.
Later, opt for a swim in the local watering hole.
Included Activities:
Gold Mine Tour
Private Vehicle (3.00 hour(s), 210km)
Once in Yamba, head to the beach for a swim. End an active day by savouring the local delicacy of fish and chips on the beach with fellow group members.
Travel distance: 380km (236 mi)
Private Vehicle (5.00 hour(s), 380km)
After breakfast, travel the coastal road to the stunning surf and arts town of Byron Bay. Enjoy plenty of free time to experience the hippie surfing town.

Included Activities:
Surfing Lesson
Private Vehicle (2.00 hour(s), 128km)
The free time is yours to explore. Walk along the long stunning beach, play in the surf, or simply hang out in the Buddha Bar and people watch. Want to get your adrenaline pumping? Go skydiving, try sea kayaking, or go on a dolphin watch.
Travel north, and opt for a night out in Queensland's capital.
Additional Notes:
Stop along the way to Brisbane for a quick break at one of the many surf spots such as the Gold Coast.
Private Vehicle (4.00 hour(s), 288km)
Once on the island, enjoy a 4x4 tour of Fraser Island, driving along over 100km of beach. Go for a swim in Lake McKenzie, and enjoy a rainforest walk along the way.
Additional Notes:
While on Fraser Island and the Noosa Everglades, main luggage will be stored in a secure storage facility. Each person will need to pack a bag for two nights with max weight of 5kg. This is due to luggage capacity restrictions in 4x4 vehicles and canoes. Your CEO will explain further details on arrival into Rainbow Beach.
Depending on the day of the week, some groups may swap the order of the Fraser Island and Noosa Everglades days. Some groups will first travel to the Noosa Everglades for a night before travelling on to Fraser Island. All inclusions will still be offered but just in a different order.
Private Vehicle (5.00 hour(s), 250km)
Enjoy a morning of exploring by 4x4 to hit the remainder of Fraser Island's highlights, then set off to the Noosa Everglades for an evening surrounded by stunning wilderness.
Included Activities:
4x4 Excursion
Noosa Everglades Overnight Excursion
Catch a train up the 'Capricorn Coast' which is well-known as 'Cattle Country'. Arrive at a remote farm and stay the night. The workers from the property are excellent hosts as they teach about the history of the farm, the cattle industry, and some of the challenges of raising cattle in such a harsh environment.
Train (6.00-8.00 hours)
After a traditional Outback-style breakfast, transfer to the town of Airlie Beach and embark on a maxi yacht which will be our home for the next three days. Set sail to a secluded cove in the Whitsunday Islands where you will drop anchor for the night.

Additional Notes:
Get ready for an early morning wake-up today for the journey to Cairns. Make sure to stock up on snacks and bring personal entertainment – it may be one of the longer travel days on this trip, but it's worth it to reach The Gateway to the Great Barrier Reef!

In the summer of 2011 I went to Paris, Marseille, and Avignon for Goucher's French theatre ICA. As a French major, I primarily chose this trip as an introduction to French culture and I wanted to improve and practice my speaking skills. The trip turned out to be much more! My classmates and I became quite close after taking classes together, participating in theatre workshops, meeting other students who we came to love very much, and even attending a protest for theatre funding in Marseille. After returning, I participated in the French production of Volant! here at Goucher and decided that French theatre was something that I wanted to continue studying. In the Spring of 2012 I will be in Paris pursuing a theatre-related internship with IFE, Goucher's partner semester-long program. When I return in the Fall I will begin work on my senior thesis, a year-long project on a specific topic within the genre of French theatre. Not only was my ICA experience in France amazing, but my experience at Goucher has been wonderful as well; my French professors have both challenged and motivated me and I view them as teachers, mentors, and dear friends.

First, this is information intended for the linux-challenged (like me). It's information culled from reading XBMC forums. It really helped me get my Zotac ION up-and-running and hopefully it will help others. If this guide is deemed unnecessary or I make a mistake, I apologize in advance.
You DO need at least 2 GB of ram (you'll see why below) for XBMC in linux on this and a SATA HD.
Before you get started, I'd suggest having putty and winscp installed on a different (windows) machine -- it doesn't have to be windows, but I don't know what apps to use for Mac OS and if you're already a linux user, you probably already have your favorite ssh tools). They're free.
1. In the bios, change the ram dedicated to the video card from 256 MB to 512 MB. You need to have 2 GB ram installed in order to do this.
2. Download XBMC Live. burn it to CD.
3. boot from XBMC live CD. When the options menu come up, select "install XBMC to disk". You're going to install it to a fixed disk (so when it asks if you should not treat the disk as a fixed disk, tell it not to do that). WARNING: this will wipe the target hard drive, so make sure that's what you want to do. When it asks you to choose a unix password, choose: xbmc
4. Once XBMC is installed to the hard drive, eject the CD and let the system reboot.
5. Once XBMC comes up on the screen highlight the "Settings" option (use keyboard arrows to move the selections), and get the IP assigned to your Zotac. Go to the computer that has putty and winspc installed.
6. Run putty using the IP address you found in step 5. User UserID and Password: xbmc
7. run the following command: sudo passwd root
choose a password for root. confirm password.
8. stay in Putty and do the commands below. You'll have to reconnect Putty to the Zotac after every reboot you do as part of the process (right-click on the title bar and choose "Restart Connection" and log in again)
I did the following to update XBMC to the latest SVN:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.org.list
Copy-paste the following to the end of the list (little tip: in putty, you can right click to paste)
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
Ctrl + X, Y, Enter to save changes
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 64234534
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install xbmc
sudo reboot
I did the following to update the latest NVIDIA drivers:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list #copy-paste the following to the end of the list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
Ctrl + X, Y, Enter to save changes
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 71609D4D2F1518FA9C5DC0FB1DABDBB4CEC06767
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic nvidia-glx-185
sudo reboot
sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++5 dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo reboot
9. Open winscp and connect to the Zotac as the ROOT user you created in step 7.
10. Find the folder .xbmc under home/xbmc and right-click on it and choose "Properties". In the "octal" box there are 4 numbers. Change them to 0777 and save. This will allow all users to access this folder (which is important if you want to install plugins and such later on).
11. Open boot/grub/menu.list and append the following to your kernel loading line in grub (/boot/grub/menu.lst). Then save it.
for example ..
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-<version> root=UUID=<some-uuid> ro quiet splash usbcore.autosuspend=-1
You might as well change "timeout" from 5 to 0 and save.
12. Still in winscp and still logged in as root go to etc/x11/xorg.conf
Add the following line under "Section Device"
Option "HWCursor" "Off"
Save and reboot your Zotac
Again, I hope this helps others with the Zotac board. It took me a month of trial-and-error (and XBMC forums, of course) to get my setup running smooth. I documented the process for my own good. Maybe it'll benefit others.

Thank's for the guide.
Everything went smooth until I try to install the NVIDIA drivers.
Hit http://it.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty-backports/multiverse Packages
Hit http://it.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty-backports/restricted Packages
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
I run the 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' but as a Linux newbe I'm now stuck.
What went wrong?

I did the walk-through and everything seems to be work except HDMI audio. I wonder if I am missing something.
Things I have tried:
1) Went into AlsaMixer to try to unmute HDMI audio, but I did not see anything for HDMI. Just IEC958, IEC958 D, IEC958 1 which all had a little green infinity sign above them.
2) Went into XBMC and fiddled with Settings>System>Audio Hardware.
- Audio output: digital
- Dolby Digital: off
- DTS: off
- Audio output device: tried everything. (hdmi, plug:hdmi, plughw:0,3, IEC958, IEC958 D, IEC958 1)
- Passthrough output device: tried everthing (hdmi, IEC958, IEC958 D, IEC958 1)
- Downmix: on
Do the changes occur on the fly or do you have to restart after changing them? I tried both with no luck.
I'm stumped. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I guess you have to play a media file in order for xbmc to apply new audio settings.
System clicks are not working though.

I prefer lower, more natural looking breasts. If possible, I would like the implants placed lower in my chest to avoid the "circle" looking high cleavage breasts. Is it even possible though?
Is It Possible to Have Silicone Implants Placed Lower to Create More of a Teardrop Look Rather Than the High Cleavage Look?
Doctor Answers 7
Look of the implant
Implant position as well as size can create a lower profile of the breast rather than a high round look. This varies in due part to the patient's skin envelope, the position of their inframammary fold, their chest wall as well as type of implant.
Natural appearing breast augmentation
Implant placement is only 1 of the factors that help contribute to a natural looking breast augmentation. The implant style and size are other factors that contribute to the final results. It is important to have your surgeon choose an implant base diameter that fits your chest wall, as well as an implant that has the forward projection that you desire. All of these factors should be considered for each patient and should be customized to the patient's desire. Finally, the implant should be placed in the middle of the breast mound. That is to say that the implant should be centered behind the nipple.
Learn more: http://gayosoplasticsurgery.com/breast-augmentation.html
Natural looking breast augmentation result
If the implant is the right size, and biodimensional planning is utilized, you can achieve a very natural, but fuller look. Implants that don't fit the body type tend to result in that round, raised look at the upper pole of the breast.

Round cohesive I implant + submuscular position + moderate size = natural result
Thanks for the question. It is possible to get a great natural looking augmentation result. That is the goal of many, although not all, of my patients. There want amazing looking bresats that everyone wonders if they have implants, but no one knows for sure. My recommendation is that patients look at cohesive I implants, round, in a submuscular position. In addition the scar has to be undetectable (many use the inframammary fold) and the implant has to respect the original diameter of your natural breast. Your plastic surgeon will discuss all of these options with you and together you can achieve the results that you are seeking. I hope this is helpful information.
Placement of implant
The procedure that is performed is a function of your natural anatomy and the goals you envision. Your plastic surgeon should customize the procedure to most closely match your goals as much as possible. It is not uncommon to have to compromise on your goals a bit.
Robin T.W. Yuan, M.D.
Can implants really be placed lower in the breast
The round look from a breast implant is influenced by the implant size relative to the skin envelope and breast availaable to cover the implant, and the implant profile. The breast is most natural with a lower profile implant, and a volume which will not overly challenge your tissue.
Learn more: http://www.peterejohnsonmd.com
Is It Possible to Have Silicone Implants Placed Lower to Create More of a Teardrop Look?
The bottom of the implant is placed at the level of your inframammary fold, that is, the crease beneath your breast. Lower than that or higher than that can create a deformity. Sometimes creases can be lowered if there is too short a distance between the nipple and the crease to allow a proper contour. In any event, if you place the implant beneath the pectoralis muscle, you should not a prominent upper edge or that "circle" appearance. The other important consideration in achieving a natural look is to not place too large an implant FOR YOUR SKIN ENVELOPE. If you have tighter skin and you place too large an implant, it will be very bulgy up top and look more "circular" as well. You can show photos to your surgeon to show them augmented breasts that you like and to make sure they understand your goals.

AMHERST – Spring Street Academy's first principal died April 27. Barry Kelly was 52 when he succumbed to cancer Friday.
"Barry was a very dedicated family man…," said friend Rick Van Snick. They knew each other through one of Kelly's passions, cart racing. Their sons raced together.
"(He) was always lending a hand and helping others in the racing community," said Van Snick. "You could always see him smile when he shared his extensive racing knowledge with others."
Van Snick said Kelly loved cart racing with his son, Nathan.
The principal, born in Halifax in 1959, was a graduate of Springhill High School, Mount Allison University and Dalhousie University. He married Rhonda in 1984. Kelly worked in Shelburne, Springhill and Amherst. He was the principal of R.B. Dickey before becoming principal of Spring Street Academy.
His passions included racing, golf, hockey and home restoration.
Kelly was also instrumental in introducing Keith Mackintosh's son, Ryan, to cart racing.
"We met Barry when he became the principal at R.B. Dickey, and our daughter Lauren was a student there," said Mackintosh. "He mentored our son Ryan and basically opened the doors to Ryan getting involved in racing.
"He was the kindest most helpful person I ever met, and he always had a kind smile."
Mackintosh said losing a man like Kelly will be tough for his friends, the school community and, especially, for his family.
"Barry was, if nothing else, first and foremost a family guy," said Mackintosh. "To be at a race track and to see him watching Nathan, or to see him at the rink and to see him watching Nathan playing hockey, either one, you could tell he was very proud father."
According to his obituary, "his wife and son was his reason for being"; he enjoyed "an Irish life well lived" and "left this world a better place than he found it."
A visitation for students and friends will be held at Campbell's Funeral Home Sunday from 6 p.m. to 9. A service celebrating his life will take place April 30 at 4 p.m. at First Baptist Church.

SXSW Interactive, Day Three (am)

It seems appropriate to start today's stormy SXSW Day Three by stealing Matthew's thunder (har har) at being the only DW staffer actively blogging the conference. I only caught the tail end of Lost in Translation? Top Website Internationalization Lessons. But like most other internationalization-themed panels, articles and conversations, it's a difficult topic. We can continue to lecture to ourselves about the benefits and strategy of internationalization (and agree with each other across the board), but without business momentum it will remain a rarified field in web design/development.
Matthew and I are currently in Social Networking and Your Brand. Given the collective character of the panelists— Paul Boag of boagworld, Mark Norman Francis of Yahoo! Europe, Jina Bolton of Sushi & Robots, Steve Smith of orderedlist and Steve Ganz of LinkedIn —the panel is very entertaining. But by way of a driving point, it is kind of wandering around. They all agree that in building a professional brand around your name, you really need intent, consistency and honesty to establish an readily recognized online social identity. Outside of that advice, the panel really focused on digital identity damage control and ways to clean up after yourself. Though it must be said that amid the highly social, highly documented events during SXSW, a reminder that public Twitter comments sit against our professionalism is always welcome.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Thank you for your response. I did end up calling the hostess. She did ask me what happened. She thought it was terrible,but once again I think if she had any concern since it was her event she could have taken the initiative to call me. She did suggest we get together separate from these other people. I told her I was open to that but i did not want to create any chaos. That is not my nature. She did say "perhaps I should not have invited you." That tells me where loyalty's lie. At the risk of sounding arogant I believe I am a person with greater caring and integrity. They are in their safe closenit little group and don't really give a damm about me anymore no matter whose in the right or wrong. I am hurt and angry. If my ex friends husband reaches out again perhaps the next woman won't have the same standard of morals. That will be their problem. It will take me a little while to get over this shaming experience. I.m not sure if I should have called the hostess but I do feel better letting her know what happened even if she does not give a damn. I have closed my relationships with these people. I f the hostess calls I think I will refuse to invitation. I am moving on making new friends as difficult as it is given my present status. If you would like to comment I would appreciate it. Thank you again.

– Scratch or Sniff is launched for real, and this post is in response to a Huffington Post article that ruffled a lot of feathers. Including mine.
– Mila Kunis fan? She's the new face of Jim Beam. You know, the bourbon? Really! Check out her new ads.
– "Hey strangers, my family is not incomplete without a son" over at BabyCenter. Lottttts of interesting comments. One or two angry emails. Whatever, dude. Get off me.
– Why Mom's Time is Different From Dad's Time over on the WSJ. Really interesting article showing why five hours outside of the home doesn't necessarily equal five hours inside of the home. Jack and I have had this discussion before, and my comment is usually, "Hey, when you have to go to the bathroom at work, does anyone knock and yell or poke their fingers underneath the door?" Which is a joke, but then again it's not. If you take a peek at this article, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. Lots of fiery discussion on it all over the interwebs.
– Brad's intro to our joint DietBet. A lot of you *love* these things and find them highly motivating. (As a group, in the last DietBet I hosted with my friend Kristen, we collectively lost over 2,000 pounds.) People keep asking me to host them, and I'm glad to, but I can't (and won't) devote a blog post a month to DietBet hustling, so this month I teamed up with Brad, all-around cool guy, who has the deets over on his blog. :)
Jimmy Fallon doing a barbershop quarter cover of R. Kelly's Ignition Remix? 2003, hollaaaaa. And it sounds entirely less sketchy without R. Kelly singing it.
When I'm not NFing, you can find me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and sometimes on my kitchen counter eating pizza out of the box like an animal. See you tomorrow for TIHIF!

Fox distorts record of judicial nominee Liu
Research ››› ››› KATE CONWAY
Fox News' Bill Hemmer and The Washington Examiner's Byron York distorted federal appeals court nominee Goodwin Liu's record to paint him as out of the mainstream, with York suggesting that Liu supports reparations. However, neither York nor Hemmer noted that Liu has widespread support from across the political spectrum, including from former independent counsel Kenneth Starr and Bush administration lawyer John Yoo.
York echoes baseless right-wing smear that Liu supports reparations
York: Liu "said a number of extraordinary things ... about reparations for slavery." On the April 7 edition of Fox News' America's Newsroom, York stated:
YORK: Well, Goodwin Liu is a legal superstar, former Rhodes Scholar, former clerk to Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsburg, 39 years old, viewed as a real superstar in Democratic legal circles, is very liberal on all of the social issues. He said a number of extraordinary things about racial preferences, about reparations for slavery, about welfare and about the role of the judiciary in general.
In fact, Liu's comments on slavery that conservative media have highlighted have been distorted. In suggesting that Liu supports reparations, York echoed Fox News host Bill O'Reilly, Fox Nation, and right-wing blogs, who have distorted comments Liu made during a 2008 discussion about the legacy of slavery. In the part of the discussion conservative media have highlighted, Liu did not advocate for reparations. Rather, he stated:
LIU: Then there's a further issue, which is that maybe there are white families who were not involved as directly or even indirectly with the slave trade, but who still benefited from it. And then there is the whole question, which you put on the table, about people who came to America after, and -- you know, like my family -- and why is it that this movie speaks to me, you know, so deeply yet?
And so, what I would do, is I think I would draw a distinction between a concept of guilt, which locates accountability in a sort of limited set of wrong-doers, and, on the other hand, a concept of responsibility, which is, I think, a more broad suggestion that all of us, whatever our lineage, whatever our ancestry, whatever our complicity, still have a moral duty to ... make things right. And that's a moral duty that's incumbent upon everybody who inherits this nation, regardless of whatever the history is.
And I think, you know, to add one more point on top of that, the exercise of that responsibility ... necessarily requires the answer to the question: "What are we willing to give up to make things right?" Because it's gonna require us to give up something, whether it is the seat at Harvard, the seat at Princeton, or is it gonna require us to give up our segregated neighborhoods, our segregated schools? Is it gonna require us to give up our money?
It's gonna require giving up something, and so until we can have that further conversation of what it is we're willing to give up, I agree that the reconciliation can't fully occur.
Later in the discussion, Liu said that "instead of looking for the single national strategy" on racial equality, people should "think about what you can do on a much smaller scale in much smaller communities, around specific problems that people face, whether it's in their schools, in their workplaces, access to health care, in their housing -- whatever it may be":
LIU: I think for a long time, the -- we have been entranced by a certain image of civil rights progress, which is an image that was forged during the 1960s in the wake of Brown versus the Board of Education and in a time when we had all three branches of the government -- the national government supportive of a general civil rights agenda. I don't see that happening in the near future, however 2008 turns out. And so, I'm not sure that we live in a time where we can transplant that model of national leadership to the present day.
Instead, I think I agree with Ruth's comment that if this conversation is going to happen, it's gotta happen in much more localized settings around problems of local concerns to people. And that is a -- you know, there's a kind of entropy to that because you can't completely manage it and you can't direct it, but since we have, you know, about 100 different funders out there in our audience, I would say that instead of looking for the single national strategy, which is what everybody always looks for, think about what you can do on a much smaller scale in much smaller communities, around specific problems that people face, whether it's in their schools, in their workplaces, access to health care, in their housing -- whatever it may be -- because unless it's framed around a specific problem, the conversation will just be that: conversation.
York and Hemmer do not note Liu has support from conservatives
York: "A number of Republicans suspect that [Liu] is trying to hide something." While discussing Liu's nomination, Hemmer noted opposition to the nomination from Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee, stating that "all seven Republican members of that committee, on the Judiciary Committee, sign[ed] a letter that Liu failed to disclose more than 100 of his speeches to the committee." York stated that "a number of Republicans suspect that he is trying to hide something, because so many times, he has expressed opinions that are really pretty far on the liberal side of the spectrum." Neither Hemmer nor York, however, mentioned that Liu has support from a number of conservatives.
Starr: Liu "is exceptionally well-qualified to serve on the court of appeals." Starr, who investigated former President Bill Clinton, co-signed a March 19 letter to Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) that read: "[I]t is our privilege to speak to his qualifications and character, and to urge favorable action on his nomination." The letter continued: "Goodwin is a person of great intellect, accomplishment, and integrity, and he is exceptionally well-qualified to serve on the court of appeals."
Yoo: "[F]or a Democratic nominee, he's a very good choice." According to the Los Angeles Times, Yoo -- the Bush administration lawyer who authored the infamous torture memos -- said of Liu's nomination: "[H]e's not someone a Republican president would pick, but for a Democratic nominee, he's a very good choice."
Bolick on Liu: "I strongly support his nomination." In a letter to Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) about Liu's nomination to the Ninth Circuit, Goldwater Institute director Clint Bolick wrote: "Although Prof. Liu and I differ on some issues, I strongly support his nomination." Bolick continued: "Having reviewed several of his academic writings, I find Prof. Liu to exhibit fresh, independent thinking and intellectual honesty. He clearly possesses the scholarly credentials and experience to serve with distinction on this important court."
Guthrie: "More than an ideologue, I think he's a pragmatist." The Oakland Tribune reported that Liu has also received support from James Guthrie, education policy studies director at the George W. Bush Institute in Dallas. According to the Tribune, Liu and Guthrie served together on a task force on school finance. The article reported that Guthrie said: "I suppose in many ways we were ideologically opposed but not on this. ... On this one issue of national citizenship and using it for leverage for a national system of finance, he was really my partner on that, we worked hard together on it and I liked him. ... More than an ideologue, I think he's a pragmatist."

Pride and Prejudice
My thought exactly. I went into this excited but a bit leery because the only other Austen I've read was Pride and Prejudice and I didn't like it so much even though it seems to usually be regarded as her most famous/best book. But to me Mansfield Park, with all its problems, was much superior.
I could see quickly that this wasn't going to be quite as "formulaic" as Pride and Prejudice, and the story actually kept me guessing. Reading this thread about the Crawfords being the "villains" makes me chuckle, only because I never viewed them as that despite what Austen may have intended.
After finishing and then reading all of your impressions on what Austen was trying to accomplish regarding the Crawfords is fascinating because I wouldn't have guessed. Reading, I was of course rooting for the Crawfords, and what kept me guessing is that I couldn't tell if Fanny would end up with Henry or Edmund. I was even convinced for a part before the conclusion that it'd be Henry.
What I see, having read your theory that Austen let her characters get away from her and still had to make the ending she wanted happen, is that there was a better story trying to get out of her but she, in the end, wouldn't let it happen. I actually came away with the impression that the book is somewhat unwittingly pessimistic regarding human nature and the ability to change. Of course this is only because Austen had to make her initial plan come to fruition, but it was at a huge expense in my view. Mary and especially Henry seem like the most complex characters of the book, and were not able to choose the influence of where they grew up. So in my optimism I was hoping the book was about their redemption and ability to change and grow with a good influence such as Fanny and Edmund. But Austen sacrificed any notion of that to get her ending and left the impression that if you are ruined by your upbringing then despite any efforts to change you will in the end stay ruined. In a more complex work I could even see how such a pessimistic view could work, but in this instance I found it regrettable.
And as many of you've mentioned, the Crawfords' "bad parts" comes off to a modern reader such as myself as almost virtuous, except of course Henry's at first wanting to play with Fanny and at end giving up all redemption to run off with Maria. I also agree that it makes no sense that he would run off with Maria in the end. And during reading I too couldn't help but think that Fanny and Edmund at times came off in an unflattering light of being too proper, conservative and severe in the their views.
Of course the real villain was Mrs. Norris and to a lesser extent Maria and Julia, none of whom seemed to have any redeeming qualities. But especially Mrs. Norris who acted as the tormenter. But even her ending I find questionable. I'm not sure I really think she'd give up her cozy life at Mansfield Park to support her fallen niece in exile. But even to a modern reader such as myself, she's painted so wickedly that even though I didn't find the ending believable, I was glad that something bad happened to punish her.
One other qualm I have is that Thomas Bertram would take so long to understand how badly Fanny is being treated by Mrs. Norris, and especially that it would take him so long to see Mrs. Norris' real character in general. And Austen lets the lazy Lady Bertram get away scot free from her moral punishments even though Lady Bertram witnessed Fanny being abused by Mrs. Norris all the time. Because we can blame Mrs. Norris all we want but Fanny's guardians let it happen right under their nose.
I was very disappointed in the quick wrap-up because it confirmed my worst suspicions about the direction of the novel, where she went back to her Pride and Prejudice style of wrapping everything up with a perfect bow at the end, having all the characters get what "they deserve" basically all at once. And I'll take it one step further, since many of you complain about the quick conclusion, and say that I wouldn't have minded it nearly as much if it'd quickly concluded in a better way. And I'd still dislike the ending just as much even if it took longer if it still ended up at the same final resting spot.
The only good I can think of regarding the way it ended is that, looking at it from a view of their times, it took the slightly subversive position of making Fanny's inclinations about Henry more correct than Thomas Bertram's. I imagine at that time girls were taught to trust their parents' views and this book basically would tell a girl to trust her own instincts more. But of course even then I'm sure there were other works that had much more shocking plots and themes, but still it's interesting that conservative Austen included that little subversive part.
One final thought perusing the more recent posts -
fantasyfan, you say that Edmund and Fanny were an Autumn/May type romance?!? I was under the impression they were almost the same age, with Edmund only a few years older...

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/7/2013 (1459 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Work on the Souris Swinging Bridge is going swimmingly.
Souris Mayor Darryl Jackson said he still hopes to have the bridge open for the August long weekend after the project was delayed earlier in the season.
Despite the Souris River's high water levels, all the cables are installed and now it's a matter of installing the decking, Jackson said.
"I'm hoping they can get that all accomplished," he said. "We haven't heard any different.
"These last three months, so much of it has been down under ground, you can't really see what they were doing, and there was steel and concrete to no end."
The bridge will replace one with a 177-metre-long span, which had to be cut free during Souris River flooding in 2011. The town was afraid the water would rip the anchors out of the ground on either side, taking an earth dike with it.
The new bridge will span 184 metres, reclaiming its former title as the longest swinging bridge in Canada, and reach new heights in hopes it will be able to withstand the threat of a future flood.
Jackson said the area's tourism industry has taken a serious beating as a result of the construction, adding without the bridge, people driving down Highway 1 simply drive past instead of coming into town.
"I'm sure they see that 'Swinging bridge closed' sign and just keep right on going. They don't come down and see us," he said.
In late March, contractors hit a water main on the east side of the bridge while drilling into the ground, and a few weeks later, workers hit a water line on west side, delaying the project.
Construction material made its way into the line and to prevent it from going to the plant, a camera was sent down the line to see if any sediment was present, which proved to be a time-consuming ordeal.
The Hillcrest Museum, which relies on the bridge for foot traffic, has taken the brunt of the economic beating, Jackson said, with visitor numbers way down.
The bridge is still scheduled to open in a few weeks, but Jackson said the town might hold back on a grand opening until Canada Day 2014.
