With Star Wars busting all the box office records it stands to reason that board games would get in on all the hype. There are several Star Wars games that have been released in recent years that cover all kinda of gaming styles. Some of them use miniatures like Imperial Assault and the X-Wing miniatures game. Some games are just re-themed versions of old games like Monopoly or Stratego. But occasionally you get a game that is not quite like anything else.
Risk: Star Wars Edition is a 2-4 player game from Hasbro that totally changes that way you might perceive the game of Risk. Players make up 2 teams the Rebel Alliance and The Empire. Turn order is such that one team takes all of its turns before giving the turn to an opposing player. The action selection phase of a turn uses cards specific to each team. Each card will have 2-3 different actions icons depicting what options are available. It may be that one option has played out and very rarely will both or all actions be closed.
Once actions are selected play happens on three different areas of the board (which happens to look like a TIE fighter).
The center area has piles of plastic ships battling around the Death Star space. B-wings, X-wings, Y-wings, and the Millennium Falcon swarm against a fleet of TIE fighters and the Executor star destroyer. But the death star is safe until the shields are destroyed. Some of the actions for this area include fighter combat, deploying more little ships, and firing the Death Star.
The shields protecting the Death Star are brought down when the rebels make their way through the Endor forest to blow up the shield generator. The Empire is hassling the rebels at every turn with stormtrooper squads. This area of the board is not quite as active as the others with the frustrating slog up the track trying to roll dice high enough to bypass stormtroopers and get to the end. It is however a very necessary part of the strategy.
The third area of the game board is where Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader duel in front of the Emperor. A number of hit points are assigned to each side and when these actions are selected dice are rolled to determine results. If one of the side loses, then the winning side gets a bonus for one round of having extra action cards. Very powerful.
Most of the game mechanics are handled with cards and dice. The variety of options the cards present allow players tons of flexibility and lots of strategic choices. The dice handle combat results and are pretty much the only resemblance of the original Risk game.
Risk: Star Wars Edition is fast playing in only about 30-45 minutes. It is easy to pick up and really fun to play. The graphic design is amazing and immersive. It has great components with lots of pieces. The Black Edition adds metal versions of the big ships and variant packaging.
Overall I would highly recommend this to any Star Wars fan or anyone looking for a quick battle type game that is easy to learn and plays quickly.

Lenny Kravitz covers the latest issue of Vogue Hommes. Famed photographer Mark Seliger produces an exceptional, exclusive portfolio for this issue. Most of the images were taken in and around New York City's East and West Village neighborhoods in November 2005. Seliger's observations: "As a superstar in the rock world, nobody compares to Lenny Kravitz, from his own personal style to his appreciation of art, fashion and design."
The twenty page or so editorial is just the icing on the cake. Bruno Danto sits down with Lenny for a wonderful two page interview. Kravitz discusses fashion, architecture and his plans to launch a ready-to-wear-line and home furnishings collection. "It's a full home collection from upholstered goods to tabeltops, a mix of my personal tastes, which range fro modern to traditional styles." Plus, the man just designed a penthouse suite for the Setai Hotel in Miami.

The Flexi-Fit Inlet Hose Seal is designed to house the Flexi-Fit Diverter 3' Fill Hose. It creates a water tight seal to ensure that all the water being divertered from the Flexi-Fit Downspout Diverter stays in your rain barrel.
PLEASE NOTE: Only ONE (1) hose seal is included. The product picture is meant to show what the seal looks like from the front and side.
*Requires a 1-1/2" hole saw for installation.
Perfect for rigid 1" pvc. Unknown on 14th May 2020
The seal fits into the rain barrel hole perfectly, but then I have troubles inserting the hose into the seal. I wasn't able to get the hose pushed in all the way. Still, after a few rains, it's doing its job at collecting rain water without any leaks. And I guess that's the point. Unknown on 5th Aug 2018
Worked fine for inserting 1" pvc into the top of a 300 gallon tote. Unknown on 24th Jul 2017
Provides a great seal. I was have a hard time getting a good faucet seal, but this solved the problem and was easy to install. Lyle on 4th May 2017
The seal installed easily, and was able to create a water-tight seal with my barrel and hose. Brian Kevelin on 5th Apr 2017
I have a very large, very old water tower that needed this type of seal. It allowed me to use the 3/4 flex seal to insert the spigot, and VOILA!! I am very happy with the result; no leaking. I'm glad they were there to assist me in selecting the right products. Mary Ann on 15th Aug 2015
Simple and works. Unknown on 21st Apr 2015
Saw the hole in the barrel and pop it in place.
put a dab of vaseline on the hose and slide it into the grommet. DONE! Paschal & Genene Dobbins on 30th Jul 2014
I bought this with the Flexi-fit downspout diverter and 3' fill hose. Together they make a great way to harvest rainwater. Easy to install and very efficient. Larry on 9th Jun 2013
I've made rain barrels before and getting the overflow connections sealed was a real pain. well these inlet hose seals are so easy to install it's really great. I bought a rainbarrel kit and it had these seals. Since I wanted to daisy chain 4 of them together, I bought the seals and was done cutting holes and installing all of them in less than 15 minutes. Great product. Charlie on 10th Aug 2012

Once again, the best part of the card is the inside where Happy Birthday pops up. It was so easy to make this fun pop up using Karen Burniston's Happy Birthday Pop Up Die.

The Fifth Petal: A Novel
"the evil men do truly does live after them . . ."
In 1692, 15 accused witches were hanged in Salem, Massachusetts; in 2014, three of their descendants, in a ceremony to bless the place where they died, are also killed in a horrendous way. The only witnesses are Callie, daughter of one of the victims, and Rose, a well-respected Salem scholar who had befriended the three homeless young women.
Rose is accused, then exonerated of the crime, but becomes a homeless wanderer, continually muttering about trapping the banshee she claims killed the girls. Callie is sent to a Catholic orphanage.
In 2014, Rose is threatened by a teenager who dies from the encounter. Rose says she killed him because "Death was the lesser of two evils." Unfortunately the boy was the grandson of a Salem Brahmin who pushes not only for Rose's arrest but also her indictment for murder.
Callie is now a music therapist, using sounds and harmonies to heal and alleviate her patients' pain and traumas. She's also a sensitive and psychic, experiencing visions she tries to hide. The Sisters told her Rose was dead. Now seeing the headlines and learning otherwise, she returns to Salem where she's once again exposed to the scenes and memories of that long-ago night.
Callie also meets the Whitneys, a prominent Salem family, and their son Paul. She's attracted to Paul but hesitant to respond since he's currently in an affair with a Salem gray witch 30 years his senior. Soon, however, she lets down her guard and she and Paul fall in love. The opening of her mother's cold case murder, and the tying of it to Rose's current dilemma, as well as old hatreds and new jealousies hint in no uncertain terms that the young couple will never have the "Happily Ever After" Paul wants.
History seems to be repeating itself in a frenzy duplicating the frightening hysteria of the original Salem trials, as strangers demand Rose's punishment. Then Callie has another vision, this one of Paul, lying in a pool of blood. . . .
There's more than a murder mystery in The Fifth Petal. It's also a history lesson, as well as a moral one, written by an author who is an inhabitant of Salem, living with its facts and fiction. The facts of the events in 1692 are meticulously compared to those happening in the present, weaving a fictional tale in which it is deftly pointed out that history never sleeps, and the evil men do truly does live after them.
Barry has truly written a story that should give us much thought while it entertains.

Cake pops or balls are a great and unique way to indulge cakes without having to modify a recipe. Petite in size, they can be enjoyed by kids and adults for any occasion. Enjoy these for Halloween or Thanksgiving.
Makes 48 cake balls.
[Edit]Cake Pops
- Your favorite yellow cake recipe
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup cream cheese icing
[Edit]Coating and Decoration
- 24 ounces white chocolate melts
- Cinnamon sugar mixture
[Edit]Creating the Cake Mixture
- Bake the cake. Follow the specific recipe you are using, in addition to adding the cinnamon, pumpkin puree and spice, and brown sugar. Be sure to follow the regular ingredient amounts, utensils and baking dishes, steps or instructions, oven temperatures, and baking times as well.
- Slice the cake. Using a damp knife, cut the cake in sections or quarters. This allows the insides of the cake to cool down faster, rather than having the cake cool down from the outside in.
- Crumble the cake. When the cake pieces has reached room temperature or warm to handle, use your hands to crumble the cake in a large mixing bowl. You will want to break down any chunks, especially any hard corners.
- Add the icing. Start off with 1/4 cup of icing in the bowl. Use a wooden spoon to thoroughly incorporate the cake crumbs and icing together until you achieve a consistency of dough, as if you're making cookie dough. Add additional icing, if needed.
- Refrigerate the mixture. Having the mixture chilled makes it easier for you to roll it into balls.
[Edit]Making the Cake Balls
- Scoop the mixture. Use a cookie dough scooper to help you make even ball amounts, about 1 tablespoon (15 grams). To avoid multitasking, scoop the entire mixture and place the balls onto a flat surface (such as a baking sheet or counter top), lined with parchment paper.
- Roll the cake balls. Use both palms of your hands and circle each ball in a circular motion, to allow any flat surfaces become evenly round.
- Chill the cake balls. For the best results, it's recommended to refrigerate the cake balls for at least two hours. By doing this, any coating won't affect the prepared cake when dipping.
[Edit]Dipping the Cake Balls
- Melt the chocolate. You can either use a microwave-safe bowl or create a double boiler. Stir the chocolate to make sure everything is melted evenly.
- Insert sticks into the cake balls. Prick them in the center, just enough to pick them up from the parchment paper and hold.
- If you're wanting to present the cake balls on a stick, it's recommended to use lollipop sticks, which can be found in specialty baking aisles. Dip about 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) of the stick into the melted chocolate prior to inserting them into the cake balls.
- If you're wanting to present the cake balls in decorative individual wrappers, poke them with toothpicks.
- Dip the cake balls. While holding the lollipop stick or toothpick, submerge the cake ball into the melted chocolate. When lifting it back up, gently lift them in a swirling motion or give them a gentle shake.
- If you are using toothpicks, remove them from the balls. Add a very small amount of extra melted chocolate to cover the holes. You can use the back of a spoon to evenly spread out any extra coating as well.
- Repeat with the rest. Place the chocolate covered cake ball in the same place on the waxed paper. Pick up the next one and repeat the dipping until everything is covered.
[Edit]Decorating the Cake Balls
- Drizzle additional melted chocolate on top. You can create even zig-zag lines by moving your arm back and forth in a uniform way across the entire sheet of cake balls.
- Use the cinnamon sugar mixture on the cake balls. You can either sprinkle by hand or dip it in the mixture while the chocolate is still in a liquid state, if you're not drizzling chocolate on top.
- Chill the cake balls again. To ensure a hard coating and for any topping to appear more uniform, place the cake balls in the freezer or refrigerator for about an hour or two.
- Finished.
- These can also be created into small bars. Instead of rolling them into round balls, mold them into squares before any dipping.
[Edit]Things You'll Need
- Cookie scoop
- Mini cupcake liners
- Large bowl
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Wooden spoon
- Lollipop sticks or toothpicks

The Answer For Discouragement
Tragedies are a common part of the human experience. The late night knock on the door by a policeman to inform a mother and father that their teenage child was killed in a car accident; the wife who is abandoned by an unfaithful husband; the man who loses his job; people, young and old, that are diagnosed with a fatal illness, these are just some of the tribulations that afflict humanity. All of these situations cause such personal devastation that people just give up on God and no longer attend church or even pray.
The disciples of Emmaus were devastated by the death of Jesus. They had come to the conclusion that the new way of life that Jesus has started was finished. The devastation caused powerful negative feelings to cloud their ability to reason and therefore, they could no longer see clearly. A deep feeling of discouragement crushed them. Frustrated and disheartened, they left Jerusalem.
As the two disciples were walking back to Emmaus, the risen Jesus appears to them. Their minds and hearts clouded by overpowering negative emotions did not allow them to recognize Jesus. How many times, like the disciples of Emmaus, when tragedy and tribulations occur in our lives, are we so overwhelmed by negative emotions that we are unable to see that Jesus is by our side? We must understand that even in the darkest moments, even though we may be engulfed by irrational feelings, Jesus is there. He knows what we are going through. His hand is still there to lift us up precisely because he is risen and not dead... (Continued here.)

#345 Consumer Rights: Prepaid Funeral Plans
(mp3 file)
California's Cemetery and Funeral Board, in the State Department of Consumer Affairs, has publicly warned California consumers that pre-paid funeral plans may be risky for you. The Board's website is: www.cfb.ca.gov.
There are some laws on the books to regulate prepaid funeral plans in California, but the laws do not give you much protection. California requires funeral directors to put your money in a trust account, but the law permits a funeral director to be a trustee and appoint the other trustees who control your funds. The funeral home may take a fee each year from interest income, for looking after your trust fund.
Although most funeral homes are completely honest and follow state laws to the letter, there are still possible problems for you if you invest in a prepaid funeral plan:
1 - You may be paying a sales commission of 10 to 25% of your total contract price, plus other sales costs.
2 - The funeral home or cemetery that is holding your money may be sold or go out of business before you die, so there may be no one left to honor your contract, or to refund your money.
3 - The funeral home or cemetery that is holding your money may go bankrupt before you die, and your money may be used to pay off its outstanding debts.
4 - If the funeral home or cemetery is still in business when you die, the price of the funeral you paid for may have greatly increased due to inflation, and your prepaid amount plus interest may not be enough to cover the funeral for which you paid, some years ago. The funeral home or cemetery may then not be able to deliver the funeral you thought you had fully paid for. At the time of your death, your family may sadly learn that your so called "prepaid funeral" was merely a small loan to a funeral director, which has earned little or no interest or equity, and which only obligates them to pay even more for your funeral, which now costs much more than it did when you made what you thought were final arrangements.
If buying a prepaid funeral plan has so many risks, would you be better off buying a burial insurance policy instead? Burial insurance policies also have problems, however, because you are usually paying high premiums for a small face value life insurance policy. Some burial insurance sales people may claim that your total funeral price is guaranteed by the policy, but they may fail to inform you that no funeral director is required to provide a funeral for the value of your burial insurance policy.
Are there any good alternatives, if you decide to avoid the risks of prepaid funeral plans, and burial insurance policies?
The State of California's Cemetery and Funeral Board offers the following suggestions, based on the conviction that funeral directors are in the business of providing funerals, and that banks are in the business of providing safe investments:
1 - Go to the funeral home, mortuary, memorial society, or cemetery of your choice, and make arrangements for your funeral, giving written instructions as to your wishes.
2 - Go also to the bank, savings and loan association, or credit union of your choice, and establish a trust account with yourself as the trustee, and with a licensed California funeral director as the beneficiary of the trust account upon your death, for the purpose of setting money aside for your funeral expenses. Let your funeral director know of the location, name, number, and amount in the trust account.
These suggestions avoid all the risks and disadvantages of a prepaid funeral plan where your money is held in trust by a funeral director, and has many advantages for you. In an insured bank account, your funeral money is safe. In higher interest certificate of deposit accounts, you will earn considerably more interest than in a prepaid funeral plan, thus increasing the money in your trust account to allow for inflation in future funeral costs. You will be able to change your mind at any time before you die, and if you move away or if your funeral home goes out of business, you may withdraw all your money, or change the beneficiary of your trust account to another funeral home. The funeral director will have no access to the money in your trust account until after your death. During your lifetime, you will retain complete control. If you are a recipient of SSI (Supplemental Security Income) you will need to set up an irrevocable trust account, which you cannot change. By following these suggestions, you may have the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you have made final arrangements with your funeral director, in accordance with your own wishes, and that you have also arranged with your financial institution that your money will be available for this purpose, whenever it is needed.

Uniformitarianism. The principle that geological processes that operated in the past continue to operate in the present. This principle was first enunciated in the late 18th century by James Hutton, developed by John Playfair and popularised by Charles Lyell in Principles of Geology in 1830. The practical implication of the principle is that by studying how processes operate now, when you see evidence of the same processes in rocks from the past, you can make reasonably valid assumptions about the type of environment that prevailed.
So what? Compare tthe following two photos.
The first is of ripples in sandstone rock of Carboniferous age in Mullaghmore that are about 290 million years old. The one on the left is from Mullaghmore at present in about 6 metres of water and can be seen from a shore dive at the Gullies. The ones from the Carboniferous are about 500 metres from the ones underwater. I am not particularly religious but I do have a sneaking regard for Ecclesiastes 1:9
What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
In this instance, and because of the principle of Uniformitarianism, the ripples in the sandstone rock suggest that they were formed in relatively shallow water in the sea thus allowing interpretation of the environment in which the rocks were formed.
'The Gullies' refers to that part of Mullaghmore Head where a series of roughly north west-south east gullies provide both boat and shore diving opportunities. At low tide the Gullies are particularly obvious as seen here with the 'gullies' in the middle distance approached by a short walk over gently shelving rocks, a short snorkel followed by heaven on earth (and I said I was not particularly religious).
This shore dive is really easy peasy. Park at Mullaghmore Head whereever the view in the above picture appears. Kit up and walk down the rocks to the shore (watch out for slippery sea weed at low tide). Enter the water and snorkel out until you are about 10 to 20 metres from the reef facing you in the middle distance. Submerge, hang a left and fin along the wall following it until it opens out into a gully that descends to about 25 metres. If you have a large bottle or small lungs you can head north east and pick up the next gully and return to the sheltered water in the middle distance. If not head back the way you came and when the gully peters out head roughly south east until you have to surface.
Allthe best of west of Ireland diving is found here, shellfish, anemones, hydroids and lots more. On a recent dive two buddies and I were played with by dolphins on a safety stop.
As you enjoy the dive spare a thought for the recent tragic history of Mullaghmore that includes the assassination of Lord Mountbatten and tragic drownings in the mid 1990s when youngsters on the forshore were overcome by large waves. the bench near where you have changed is a reminder of their plight. The shore dive starts at 54.472531,-8.456604.

Introduction: How to Upload Sketches to an Arduino With a Broken Usb Port / Chip
Welcome to my very first instructable :)
Some time ago, I had a sensor connected to my Arduino Nano but the sensor didn't work, so I decided to get my multimeter to check the connections. I put one end on the 5V pin on the sensor and the other one on the ground pin, but some threw something on the table on with I was working and I accidentally short circuited the Arduino 5V and ground. then I heard the famous sound of a disconnecting USB device and all leds went dark.
After some research on the internet, I found out it's a diode which is probably broken and because of this it is no longer possible to power or upload sketches using the USB port. I found out it is possibly to send the Nano to a company for repair, it's free but you have to pay for the shipping and it's only for original Arduino boards.
Other solutions I found are replacing the diode, but it's a very small SMD diode and not everyone can solder SMD components.
The last solution I found on the internet is to upload sketches using an other Arduino as ISP. For this you need an other Arduino board and it's not that easy to do.
I had an USB to serial converter laying around to upload sketches to my Pro Mini and I thought: "If it's possible to upload sketches to the Pro Mini with this thing, it is probably also possible to use it to upload a sketch to other Arduino boards(the Pro Mini doesn't have an USB to Serial chip on board)."
I connected the serial converter to the Nanos RX/TX and power, and successfully uploaded a new sketch.
because I couldn't find anything on the internet about using an USB to Serial converter(USB to TTL) to upload sketches to all Arduino boards, I decided to write my own instructable.
So if you have an Arduino with a broken USB port or can't use the normal USB port for other reason, read this instructable and I'll show you how to save your Arduino.
Step 1: What Do You Need?
- An Arduino (any type except the ones that connects as hardware device(Leonardo / Micro) )
- USB to Serial converter(USB to TTL) general eBay link: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=usb+to+seria...
- Female-Female jumper wires(4 or more)
For boards with female pin headers you'll need:
- DuPont Female-Male jumper wires(4 or more) or some jumper wires(at least 4).
I used the PL2303HX as converter because I had that one laying around. To make this one work with Windows 8/8.1/10 you'll need to follow some additional steps. If you have a working device you can skip these steps(last step).
If you don't have a USB to TTL converter yet I recommend buying the FT232RL 3.3V-5V TTL USB SERIAL PORT ADAPTER, because this one has auto reset and has support for all Windows versions General eBay link: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=usb+to+seria...
I tested this methode with multiple Arduino boards, So far I successfully uploaded sketches to:
- Arduino Uno R3
- Arduino Pro mini
- Arduino Nano
- Arduino Mega R3(be sure to use Serial0 and not Serial1,2 or 3)
- Chinese clones of these boards
I also found out it's really hard(or impossible) to upload sketches to the Leonardo because it uses a different way to upload sketches. This probably counts for all boards that are able to communicate with the PC as a hardware device(i.e. a mouse or keyboard). So far I didn't succeed in uploading a sketch to this kind of boards but maybe I should try it some more time.
Step 2: Making the Connections
Making the connections is not hard at all, just follow these steps. To make it more clear, I included pictures and a diagram so you can see what I mean.
First plug the 4 DuPont wires to the 5V, GND, RX and TX of the USB to TTL converter, use the 3V3 line for 3.3V boards. Make sure you don't use the 5V for 3V3 boards because it will probably fry your board. Using 3V3 for 5V boards is no problem but it might not work as it should. When you connect both 5V and 3V3 to a 5V board the highest source voltage is used(5V).
Next, plug the other side of the wires to 5V and Ground, than connect RX to TX and TX to RX and plug the converter into your pc's USB port. Your connections should be like this:
PC USB port <---> USB to TTL
3V3 --- 3V3 on Arduino(only when using 3V3 boards)
TXD --> RX on Arduino
RXD <--- TX on Arduino
GND --- GND on Arduino
5V --- 5V on Arduino
Make sure to connect RX(receive) to TX(transmit) this is because on the one side the data is transmitted and received on the other side, so when you connect TX to TX both sides will send the data but none of them will read it because no data is send from RX.
Step 3: Uploading a Sketch
Now that you have all the connections made and your device plugged into your pc, open the Arduino IDE, select the board you're going to upload your sketch to. You don't have to do anything with the USB to Serial converter, all it does is just converting the USB logic levels to TTL levels to be compatible with Arduino. beter versions have a reset connection to auto reset the board so it enters programming mode.
Make sure the power led on your board is on and the Arduino is recognized by the IDE and Select the right COM port.(if your device is not recognized go to the last step)
Now check your sketch and press the upload button. If you have a converter with auto reset function than the converter will pull the reset line on the board low before starting to upload. The reset line on the Arduino needs to be pulled low so the bootloader is activated and you can upload new sketches to the board.
If you have a converter without a reset line you have to manually put the board into programming mode before uploading a new sketch. To upload a sketch simply press the upload button, press and hold the reset button on your board and wait for the program to start uploading, ones it starts uploading, release the reset button and your sketch should upload. Try uploading the FastBlink sketch and wait for it to upload, if it's all successful the led should start blinking twice and than wait a little while.
To make it easier for you to see when you should release the reset button I recommend to enable advanced output during compiling and uploading, to enable this:
- go to file>preferences
- select the boxes for advances output during compiling and uploading
- you might need to restart the IDE
You should press the reset button when a lot of (white) text is thrown to the debug screen(see image) and when the text turns orange and says something like "overriding baudrate" you should release the button, if it's al OK you'll see something like this: 'UPLOADING...............' followed by 'READING / VERIFYING...................... done. sketch uses 1.234 bytes (27%)' or something like that.
If you see something like 'failed to upload' or 'programmer not responding' that means you pressed the button to late or didn't release it in time, just keep practicing till you succeed.
If you get the message 'Board at COM3 not available' you probably connected RX to RX and TX to TX or selected the wrong COM port, if not continue to the next step.
Step 4: Install USB to TTL Drivers for Windows 8/8.1/10
Since the update to Windows 8 and later Windows 10, my USB to Serial converter is no longer supported by the drivers because Chinese clones use the same driver. To stop this the manufacturer 'kicked' al chips except the latest ones. I will now show you how to fix this problem.
- go to device manager(search: 'device manager')
- click on ports(COM & LTP), there will be a warning sign at com3(or other com port)
- right click on the prolific USB to Serial COM port and click properties
- go to the driver tab in the menu on the top
- click edit driver
- click the search for local drivers button
- select the one from 2008 and click next
- wait for the driver to install and click finish / close
- the driver should now be installed
In case you don't have the right driver on your pc you can download it here http://www.prolific.com.tw/UserFiles/files/PL2303_...
Make sure you run it as admin, you might need to reboot your pc.
I hope I prevented you from throwing your 'broken' Arduino away and that this instructable was helpful for you.

Is it possible to make this without buying anything? Because if I have to buy USB to serial then I would rather buy another arduino mega2560 embed from aliexpress.
It is possible to use an other Arduino (Uno) instead of a converter. The main chip of the arduino should be removed for this to work properly, in some cases connecting the reset pin to ground does work as well. The RX and TX pins can now be used as if this Arduino is a converter. In this way you only use the build in converter from the arduino so it is almost the same as when using a converter.
my usb-ttl works on UNO , but doesn't work on Mega2560
if I connect tx(ttl) to rx(2560) / rx(ttl) to tx(2560) , the LED of RXD keep showing,(Of course uploading keeps falling) , Mega2560 seems keeps transfer singels but didn't get any information from PCs.
it doesn't have any question with UNO but Mega2560
"Make sure to connect RX(receive) to TX(transmit) this is because on the
one side the data is transmitted and received on the other side, so when
you connect TX to TX both sides will send the data but none of them
will read it because no data is send from RX."
Thats not true ! For my case, it didn't work! but when I connect Tx to Tx , RX to Rx ...It works!!!!
Great. The board even don't have to be broken.
When you built it in a very small box so that the USB is not usable any more this is the solution to update the board!
Thanks Rob
any idea on how i can upload to a Pro Micro with a broken usb port?
It should be possible to upload programs to it in the same way as with other boards, with the pro micro it's only a bit more difficult because there is also a virtual port on the serial port which will also try to connect. When connecting the board you have to wait for at least 8 seconds and then try to reset the board and upload using the Arduino IDE. If that's not working you can always try to upload with the ISP pins and an external programmer or an other Arduino board.(I'll add that way of uploading to this Instructable soon, but if you need it just ask me)
Very nice - have two "broken" UNO's I can now easily put to use.
Thanks for putting this up.
Cool trick

What are Your Legal Rights in the Event of Personal Injury Caused due to Automobile Accident?
Have you, or someone you know, incurred personal injury due to an automobile accident? If so, you need to know your legal rights. The law states that anyone who experiences personal injury due to the negligence or willful disregard of road rules must be compensated by the guilty individual.
A personal injury results in loss of income of the affected individual. This also affects the immediate family members of the individual. They all need to be compensated for this loss. Anyone who is responsible for an automobile accident that results in temporary or permanent injury of another is legally required to provide monetary compensation to the affected individual.
The monetary compensation does not just cover the financial loss a person suffers for getting treatment for injuries. It is also provided to compensate for the psychological and emotional stress that the victim has had to undergo due to the loss.
How to Determine Negligence in Case of Auto Accidents?
An individual can claim compensation for an injury due to auto accident only if it's proved in court that it occurred due to negligence of road safety rules by another. In most of cases, accidents occur due to making a wrong turn, speeding, disregard of roadway signs, and running red lights. Any person who has been proven in court to have willfully disobeyed these rules, resulting in the injury of another, must provide compensation to the affected individual.
The claimant has to prove in court that great financial and emotional hardships were experienced due to personal injury resulting from the negligent behavior of another person. In addition, the claimant has also to prove to the court officials that he or she didn't act in a careless or negligent manner during the accident.
Why Contact a Personal Injury Lawyer?
You can greatly increase your odds of getting a successful outcome in the courts by contacting a professional personal injury lawyer. A professional lawyer who specializes in personal injury cases can offer valuable tips and advice to present a strong case in court. The expert can guide you regarding which facts to present in court to increase your chances of a successful outcome in your case.
Just remember to hire an experienced personal injury lawyer who has a successful track record of dealing with cases related to automobile accidents.

MySQL is one of the most popular open-source relational database management systems on the market today. It is used in many common applications, such as WordPress, Drupal and Joomla, as well as by many top named companies like Facebook, Google, YouTube and Twitter. MySQL can run on most computer operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Linux and OSX. Anyone who wants to become a database designer or administrator must know how to use MySQL Database.
Like all databases, MySQL is used to store valuable data. You start by creating a specific database to store your information. Each database will contain one or more tables that are made up of rows and columns and data stored in individual fields. Databases, tables and columns are created with the SQL language and MySQL specific source code extensions, which are available through the GNU General Public License.
Once the database is created, computer administrators can store, add, delete and alter data. Each database is capable of storing thousands or millions of pieces of data. The database administrator is also responsible for the development of the database system, as well as its security. In addition, administrators can retrieve data as necessary by creating SQL queries. Anyone can learn how to use MySQL with online computer training in the UK.

The images are not cropped or edited, although some could be improved with a bit of effort.
I am challenged trying to find a program I like for uploading pictures from the camera card to the computer and then onto the blog. These photos are vibrant in the camera. Here some are and some are not. In the past I have used Picasa but I cannot always get it to upload to blogger more than one picture per post. Most annoying. Today I used the standard Windows program that comes with the computer. The quality of the images loses detail, contrast and intensity.
Do any of you have recommendations?
I have some absolutely fabulous shots from my Beachin Birthday I would like to share. I just don't want them to be ..... less than they are because ... Mother Nature was flexing her might. Thanks.

We're trying to reverse the thinking that cleaner is better. Our society has moved towards an era of antibacterial wipes, hand sanitizers, disinfecting solutions…we're constantly scrubbing, cleaning, wiping. So what is the impact of all of this cleanliness on our skin?
The truth is, it's really bad for your skin.
Our skin is colonized by a diverse, specific, and intricate collection of bacteria…actually between 10,000 and 1,000,000 units per square centimeter…that is unique to each of us. There are also yeasts and parasites that exist in a symbiotic relationship with those bacteria. When we interrupt this delicately orchestrated balance of organisms, it can lead to sensitivity, irritation, infections, and inflammation. That collection of bacteria and yeasts also works to protect our skin from all of the environmental stresses (ultraviolet radiation, pollution, etc).
In the field of dermatology, we are seeing an increase in the incidence of sensitive skin, eczema, inflammation and related conditions. In our households and daily lives, we might be experiencing an increased drive towards cleanliness: long hot shower scrubbing at our skin, anibacterial soaps and skin products, exfoliating products. Many days in my practice, I get questions from patients about why their skin is more sensitive. When we "overclean" our skin, we essentially strip it of all of those protective organisms, the probiotics. These organisms help with regulating everything in our skin from ceramides that help provide a protective barrier, to anti-inflammatory properties, to temperature regulation.
What can we do to protect the intentional and effective balance of bacteria, yeast and parasite on our skin to optimize skin health? Here are the tips that I give to my patients
- Avoid hand sanitizing gels, lotions, and creams
- Wash with gentle soaps and cleansers such as Dove, Cetaphil cleanser, or Cerave cleanser
- Avoid antibacterial wipes
- Avoid harsh and aggressive exfoliating products
- Take warm, not hot, showers or baths
- Bathe once daily at the most
- Moisturize all of your skin regularly with a gentle and effective moisturizing product such as Cerave or Cetaphil

Links Small Groups
The Bible expects us to live the Christian life in community, but this is difficult in a church the size of Shatin. Our Links small groups are the answer! We meet in small groups for Bible study, prayer, fellowship and service as an extension of our life together on Sundays.
We have three types of groups meeting at various times and places:
- Sunday after the service
- Weekday nights
- Saturday late afternoon
1. Sunday groups
There is a group meeting at 11:30 for people who attend the 9:30 service and can only make Sundays. We can run a supervised children's room at the same time if needed, to help parents attend Links.
On Sunday we also have our Philippine Fellowship that meets after the services in our Church Centre in Shek Mun for lunch, bible study and fellowship.
2. Weekday night groups
Most of these groups meet close to an MTR station and so are easy to reach even if you live further away.
- Tsuen Wan (Tsuen Wan West station): Thursday 19:30-21:30
- Tai Wai: Friday 19:30-21:30
- Fo Tan 1: Wednesday 19:30-21:00
- Fo Tan 2: Tuesday 20:00-21:30
- Wu Kai Sha: Tuesday 19:45-21:15
- North District: Thursday 20:00-21:30
3. Saturday groups
These groups are slightly different. They meet every two weeks on a Saturday late afternoon, first for a bible study then a meal together, then prayer. Families bring their children who share in the meal and fellowship.
- Tai Wai: 16:30-20:00
- Heng On: 17:00-19:30
If you'd like to join any of these groups please speak to Niels or sign up here!

Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) is diagnosed when significant bacteriuria is detected in properly collected urine samples and is not accompanied by clinical signs or symptoms of urinary tract infection. Except for certain cases, ABU must not be treated with antibiotics, as the potential harm outweighs the potential benefits.Evidence 1Strong recommendation (downsides clearly outweigh benefits; right action for all or almost all patients). High Quality of Evidence (high confidence that we know true effects of the intervention). Cai T, Mazzoli S, Mondaini N, Meacci F, Nesi G, D'Elia C, Malossini G, Boddi V, Bartoletti R. The role of asymptomatic bacteriuria in young women with recurrent urinary tract infections: to treat or not to treat? Clin Infect Dis. 2012 Sep;55(6):771-7. doi: 10.1093/cid/cis534. Epub 2012 Jun 7. PubMed PMID: 22677710.
ABU requires no treatment, except for:
1) Pregnant patients (see Urinary Tract Infections in Pregnant Women).
2) Patients scheduled for urologic procedures when bleeding is anticipated, including transurethral resection of the prostate. In such individuals start antibacterial prophylaxis on the evening prior to the procedure using an antibiotic selected on the basis of culture results (preferably a fluoroquinolone) and continue only in case of delayed catheter removal.

The Affordable Care Act created a sea change in the health care industry when it put the emphasis on preventative medicine and early diagnosis to control costs. Optometrists are at the forefront of that effort, often being the first health care provider to spot the signs of systemic disease. As Chief Eye Care Officer for United Health Care, Linda Chous, OD, who also served as president of the Minnesota Optometric Association, is steering a course toward greater public and professional awareness of the role optometrists play in public health.
In a foundational study for UHC, Dr. Chous and Thomas L. Knabel, MD, of Optum counted eight chronic conditions that are commonly discovered by eye care practitioners: diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, multiple sclerosis, juvenile and adult rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease and Graves disease. "Since [eye care practitioners] often see patients more frequently than [primary care providers], this provides an excellent opportunity for optometrists to re-engage patients into care for their chronic conditions that may have been otherwise lost to follow-up," the researchers concluded in "Impact of Eye Exams in Identifying Chronic Conditions." "This previously overlooked role for eye care may create improved health outcomes and cost avoidance."
Dr. Chous followed up that study in a paper with Kim K. Christopher, MBA, quantifying opportunities to re-engage patients into care for their chronic conditions.
"If we can identify those conditions early and get them into care," she says, "those savings — and I'm not just talking about costs, but also quality of life — are going to be so much better, since these people will be saved from the consequences of their chronic conditions."
Dr. Chous makes it her aim to educate UHC members and the public about the importance of regular exams. She posts brief videos in the "Ask the Expert" series on the UHC website dealing with such topics as preventive eye care, children's eye care, heart health and computer vision syndrome. To address health literacy, she creates educational content that is written at a level that's easily understandable. "Communication only makes a difference if people understand what you're saying," she says.
Although she's very proud of the work she does with children in her pediatric optometry practice, The Glasses Menagerie in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Dr. Chous is grateful for her position at United Healthcare which provides her with the opportunity to help people create healthier lives. She leads a team at UHC that manages the Bridge2Health program, a health and wellness program that monitors chronic conditions and includes reminder phone calls for patients who have not had an eye exam and also drives disease management referrals.
"Everybody talks about the eye doctor's part in identification of chronic disease — and that's true, of course. But the re-engagement piece is absolutely huge, because too many patients are lost to follow-up for their conditions," says Dr. Chous. "When you look at something like hypertension or diabetes — especially Type 2 diabetes — the symptoms, especially in the early stages, can be quite subtle. I have the opportunity to change the world with every patient I see in practice, but your amount of success is often based on the number of people you reach. And working at United Health Care has given me that opportunity to expand the public awareness of the important role the optometrist plays in health care."

Condenser Microphone Examples
SCMs vs LCMs
Both have advantaged and disadvantages:
Below is a table listing the specs of some popular studio microphones. This is NOT an exhaustive list and your favorite mic is very likely not to be listed. However, the purpose is to provide a number of choices where the same specs can be compared for the purpose of visualizing the differences thus making it easier to understand what is important to you when looking for a new mic. All data has been extracted from what is published on the web which ultimately limits the accuracy of the data. Manufacturers can make their measurements in different ways so keep this in mind when comparing the numbers -- a small difference between two mics might have little to no meaning at all.
It's largely all about making the right selection of mic cost, type, positioning and, again, room acoustics. As should be clear from the rest of this web site, it's always all about the acoustics.

Bike to Work, day 13
April 2, 2009
I didn't think much of this morning's ride. It was cold and wet, I left a bit late, I had a power bar before the ride.
It didn't feel bad, certainly, but it lacked that incredible thrill of a fast ride. Turns out I'm 2 seconds faster than my best for the year!
0:21′36, 6.77mi
avg 18.8mph, max 26.6mph
41°F, Odo 251.2mi
Cadence: 66-85rpm
*very wet, light rain
The conditions, and temperature, are the same as my last fast ride. Not Bad!
The ride home felt like it was into the wind the whole way. I had no energy for it.
0:21′36, 6.76mi
avg 18.8mph, max 29.6mph
59°F, Odo 258.0mi
Cadence: 60-90rpm
That's fair, really. I've been exhausted for days. Time for a shower, a nap, and then to teach my last class of the week. Back to assisting next week. This was a blast, I cannot express how much I loved leading the classes.

Most of the best-known wilderness areas are out west, but states east of the Mississippi River still contain millions of acres of stunning land protected under the 50-year-old Wilderness Act.
Befitting a pioneer nation, many of our most revered natural landscapes, from the Grand Canyon to Yosemite, are in the west. However, the roots of American conservation lie firmly in the eastern half of the country, as do many pieces of extraordinary designated wilderness.
The Wilderness Act of 1964, was authored by Howard Zahniser, an easterner whose love of nature was formed partly in upstate New York's Adirondack Mountains. And amid icons like Bob Marshall Wilderness (Montana) and Glacier Peak Wilderness (Washington), the first batch of irreplaceable public land protected that year included three eastern wilderness areas: New Hampshire's Great Gulf Wilderness, and North Carolina's Linville Gorge and Shining Rock Wildernesses.
In the east, you can find soaring mountain ranges, lush autumn foliage, exotic coastal wetlands and much more, protecting a wide range of wildlife habitat and offering ample recreation opportunities for hikers, campers, hunters, fishers and sightseers. The close proximity of many of these wildlands to major metropolitan areas makes them all the more delicate, but it also lends them much of their power, as a primal salve to smoggy, fast-paced city life.
Here are just a few notable wilderness areas east of the Mississippi River…

BroadBased Communications Celebrates Bigger, Bolder Presence
May 1, 2001
BroadBased Communications, Inc., celebrated the end of a months-long expansion project last week. Employees joined company founder Jan Korb in a lively reception for friends and clients in their sleek new digs in the downtown Riverplace Tower overlooking the St. Johns River.
Over chilled drinks and sumptuous hors d'oeuvres, nearly 70 representatives from some of Jacksonville's most well-established businesses, along with up-and-comers and local media, browsed the new conference area, waiting room and office cubicles. BroadBased employees, friends and family played escort, showing off the firm's expanded design and marketing communications space.
BroadBased introduced its new web site at the Thursday afternoon event, and guests were given carte blanche to browse through its design-intensive pages. Conducting virtual tours of www.bbased.com were the site developers, Rick Lee and Chris McFall from Form Creative, who will partner with BroadBased in future web design and development projects.
"Jacksonville has been a wonderful city in which to grow this business," said Jan Korb, president of BroadBased Communications. "We appreciate the interaction with our business friends throughout the region, and we wanted to include them in our celebration. I can't think of a better way to do that than with good food, good drinks, and the company of all these wonderfully competent people."
Rounding out the guest list were the firm's familiar mascots, Snowball and Minerva. Catering was provided by Kaiser Enterprises, Inc.

Surfers Against Suicide
Surfers Against Suicide (SAS) is a not-for-profit organisation, which aims to galvanize the international surfing community in raising awareness for suicide prevention, promoting better mental health and building resilience. SAS Director Mark Whithear, alongside Kommunity Project Director John Sayers, set up the organisation aiming to give something back to the surfing fraternity. We spoke to Mark to learn more about SAS and the work they do.
How did the idea for SAS arise?
John and I wanted to give something back to the surfing community, which like other sporting communities doesn't often engage in mental health discussions. It's also not a new idea that exercise is good for your mental health, but if you can't solve your problems out in the surf, you're probably in need of some help. We wanted to help provide that support to surfers.
We kicked things off in January 2013 with an event aimed at giving SAS a profile and raising some money. We had Kelly Slater involved in that event, which attracted about 40,000 people. What resulted was amazing – more than just raising money - we connected with various community organisations and we even had footage included in the film OUT in the line-up. Our tagline is 'The Ripple Effect' and the impact from that event has been long lasting, people still talk about it today. Since then we've been gathering a worldwide network of SAS ambassadors to continue to promote mental health discussions.
What does Surfers Against Suicide provide?
Our role is to provide education and to raise awareness about suicide prevention. We also provide support for people who have been affected by suicide. SAS aims to partner with other organisations including Head Space, Mental Health Australia, Suicide Prevention and Lifeline to equip individuals and small communities with the right tools to set up their own systems for suicide prevention.
"I think it's important for the smaller charities not to try and duplicate the role of larger charities – we leverage their work to enable what we want to do."
We have people in various locations in Australia, the United States, Germany and even South America, who are taking our lead and looking at what they can do in their community. I recently had a woman contact me from Memphis who was so inspired about what we're doing, she wanted to make cupcakes and raise money for SAS – it's amazing how far our reach has spread, especially for a small organisation. This is largely the result of our team of volunteers - Anthony Brown and Todd Montgomery - who do a great job promoting SAS through our website and on social media.
What's the most rewarding part about what you do?
Being able to provide genuine input, to help others and to make a difference. I'm really positive about where things are heading and I believe that we'll see a reduction in suicide statistics. The surfing part is rewarding and it's great to see a lot more interest from the younger generations getting involved with charities. I also enjoy the mentoring aspect. I had a lot of good mentors when I was a teenager- it's good to ensure the positive message continues on.
"I recently had a woman contact me from Memphis who was inspired about what we're doing – it's amazing how far our reach has spread."
What's the hardest?
Hearing from people who've lost someone to suicide. The impact is devastating, financially and emotionally, especially when there are children and families left behind. In addition to the support available, surfing really helps. Avoiding suicide often involves finding a purpose, exercising and talking to people; they all help to stave off the demons.
What role do you think surfers should play in the community?
I'd like to see more mentoring – surfers taking a little bit of their time actively trying to mentor someone. Having a mental health conversation regularly, whether that's with family, friends or someone in your community, is really important. We see strong mentors in the surf clubs but they aren't often equipped with mental health training, which would make a big difference. One of the tools we help to fund is a two-day Mental Health First Aid course, which provides strategies to support and support people in the community, especially if they start to withdraw. We're raising funds for our SAS ambassadors to complete the Mental Health First Aid courses and we're encouraging small communities to adopt Suicide Prevention tool kits.
How can people get involved or support SAS?
We'd love to get some of the bigger name surfers more involved with SAS so we can hold more major events like the one Kelly supported. Raising money means putting more people through the Mental Health First Aid course and spreading the word about mental health and suicide prevention. If people want to help out they can contact us via our website.
If you, or someone you know, is in need of urgent support or help please call:
Lifeline Australia - 13 11 14 | National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-TALK (8255)
Where can we find you online?

Andrew Stanton, one of the directors at Pixar, is quoted in Ed Catmull's book, Creativity Inc. Stanton has written and directed Finding Nemo and Wall-E (among many others) and knows the incredible amount of work that goes into assembling a team and then creating an animated movie. He has this to say about life's difficulties.
"If you're sailing across the ocean and your goal is to avoid weather and waves, then why the hell are you sailing?" he says. "You have to embrace that sailing means that you can't control the elements and that there will be good days and bad days and that, whatever comes, you will deal with it because your goal is to eventually get to the other side. You will not be able to control exactly how you get across. That's the game you've decided to be in. If your goal is to make it easier and simpler, then don't get in the boat.[1]
Why is it that I seem to seek an easy life rather than a significant life? Why do I find myself in a sailboat wondering why I am experiencing all of this weather? I should be grabbing the rigging and setting the sails to take advantage of the wind. I should be delighted that the wind and the waves are driving me on. Yet, most of the time, that is not my first reaction. I want smooth seas and gentle breezes. I want to meander down the river rather than brave the ocean waves.
There are many elements in life I cannot control: the world price of crude oil; the value of the stock-market in New York, Toronto, or Beijing; the risk of cancer in the general population; or political corruption in Alberta, Ottawa, Washington, or Greece. These are the rough seas and winds of life. They happen with or without my consent. My confidence cannot be in the investments I own, or in the people who guide the country in which I live. I will put my confidence in the Maker of the wind and the sea. I will trust the One who knows the beginning, middle, and end of the story. I will trust that the One who made the wind and the waves will deliver me safely to the other shore. I will set my sails to catch the wind He sends upon my boat.

U-HAUL® Moving and Storage Comparison
Our customers tell us all the time – UNITS® Customer Service, Fast Friendly Service and Competitive pricing are second to none when we are compared to our competition including U-Haul®.
What really sets UNITS® ahead of the rest, including U-Haul®, is our locally owned and operated facilities. When you call us, you are calling a local facility, with owners and employees who know your area, can answer all of your questions, and who care more about your moving and storage needs than ANYONE (except maybe you).
|Locally Owned & Operated (US)
|Best-In-Class Customer Service
|Competitive Pricing
|Local, Convenient Deliveries
|Container Availability
|Safe & Secure Locations
|Cost-Effective Insurance Options
How UNITS® Services Compare to U-Haul®
The Best Local Customer Service
Our locally owned and operated stores are run by owners who care, and are dedicated to making their customers lives easier. Every time you call one of our locations you will be speaking with friendly and knowledgeable staff who know your area, and can help you get exactly what you need – when you need it.
PricingUNITS® pricing varies from market to market – but our owners strive to offer the most competitive pricing in their respective markets. Because of this, our average cost of moving and storage is typically far less than U-Haul® storage. But you decide – get a quote from us today – and then compare our quote apples to apples with the U-Haul® quote – you won't be disappointed! UNITS® doesn't have any hidden fees – PERIOD.
How UNITS® Containers Compare to U-Haul®
|Ground-Level Loading or Unloading
|Weather-Resistant, Steel Containers
|2 Sizes of Containers (12' & 16')
|Secure, Lockable Containers
|Side-by-Side Doors Allow Maximum Packing Space
|Maximum Cubic Feet
|Can hold up to 8,000 lbs
|Equipped with ETRACK™ Securing System
All Steel Construction
UNITS® containers are built tough. Our containers feature all steel construction, tough steel frames, and steel doors and are the most weatherproof containers on the market. No tarp necessary. U-Haul® containers are made of wood, adhesive, and staples.
More Interior Space & CapacityUNITS® containers are large and spacious – in fact because of our unique door design our smallest container (12') can actually fit 511 more cubic feet of space than U-Haul® containers can. On top of that, our 16' UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage Containers are able to hold up to 400% more by weight than the same sized U-Haul® containers!
Etrack™ Securing SystemOur containers feature the ETRACK™ securing system. Unlike U-Haul®, we acknowledge the fact that items can sometimes shift during moves due to differences in terrain. Using our proprietary strap and restraint system aka ETRACK™, your items will stay put!
One Container Does The JobCompared to U-Haul's U-Box, you would only need one container that can store multiple rooms, furniture and all, whereas you would need multiple U-Box containers to do the same job.
Container Delivery Re-Invented – UNITS® Robo-Unit*
The ROBO-UNIT is our proprietary delivery system which allows us to deliver containers to the tightest of spaces, while also providing level loading and unloading of your container. This system greatly reduces any shift in container contents and provides greater flexibility in container placement when space is an issue.
Our ROBO-UNIT can lift 7,000 pounds and move up to 10,000 pounds.
NO OTHER Moving and Portable Storage Company has the ROBO – not even U-Haul®.
*ROBO-UNIT is not available in all markets.

Free US shipping over $40 + free returnssize guide
I accidentally ordered a small instead of my usual XS. The lace is very pretty and the band is comfy. The cup fits a little weird, kind of puckery, but maybe because it's slightly too big. I don't think I'd want the band any smaller, though.
I had a bad experience with a different Lively bra, but kept this one to see how it would go. I'm glad I did! It's soft, comfortable and looks cute. I'm prone to nip slips and that doesn't happen with this bralette. I am a bit self concious with how the thin band fits around my body but that's just how it's constructed. If you want/need more support and coverage on the sides or back, this may not be the bra for you. My only negative is because of my body shape, the silhouette the bralette creates isn't flattering for every top/shirt. But I think that's just the nature of having an elastic band, it's going to dig into your skin a bit unless maybe you size up. I wouldn't buy this style bra again, but I think other Lively styles would suit my body better.
So cute! I ordered based on the sizing chart, but there was no way it was the right size, I had to return for being to small, the band fit just fine but the cups were way to small.I will try a larger size, hopefully that will work, I may have to try two sizes larger.
This bralette is great! It was a little snug I wish I had or could of gone up a size. But I still love it.
I bought a small because I have tiny boobs, but next time I might size up to a medium for a little more give in the band, but overall, I am happy with my purchase. I also wouldn't mind a tiny bit more lining, as you can totally see your nipples through the bra, which rules out lighter colored shirts. Nonetheless, the bralette is so comfy and soft. I love it. Living in Texas, normal bras are just misery, so I fully plan to live in this bralette all summer.

Jill Stanek, R.N., who first brought the issue of "live birth abortions" to the public and legislators, discusses cases of infants refused medical care after being born during abortions- well after the Born Alive Infant Protection Act was passed.
"When President Bush signed the Born Alive Infants Protection Act into law two years ago this month, I thought the practice of aborting babies alive would end.
It hasn't.
Because I travel the country and speak about my experience as a nurse who witnessed babies being aborted alive, I am occasionally approached by nurses who relate similar stories.
And when I am interviewed on the radio, nurses will invariably call in and tell about them, too. Kentucky, California, Pennsylvania, everywhere.
The following came to me via email from a nurse just a few months ago. The hospital where this took place is in the Columbus, Ohio, area:
A woman without prenatal care arrived at the hospital at 22 weeks [gestation] with twins. She had no insurance. On assessment she was found to have a heart problem and very high blood pressure. She was seen by our high-risk perinatologist, who recommended delivery for her health. She was placed on I.V. Magnesium Sulfate and monitored. In the morning, while I was caring for her, her blood pressures were stable, and her life did not seem in imminent danger. I even discussed the possibility of turning the Mag off with her doctor.
The residents then went in to her room. I remember one of them saying, "We can't make her out as some sort of monster because she does not want these babies." I believe if the patient had wanted the babies, every effort would have been made to keep her pregnant until they were viable.
However, since this was an unwanted pregnancy and "her life was in danger," approval was given to induce labor. The twins were born. No measures were made to resuscitate the infants. They were not assessed by anyone but the RN caring for the mother. They died shortly afterward. The weights were not taken until the babies died. It was absolutely horrible."
A nurse in Florida sent this to me:
"I came to work one morning to find myself assigned to a 25-week termination. At 25 weeks, a baby's organs are all formed, the eyelids open, and the baby has the potential for survival outside the mother. This baby was being aborted because he had a genetic abnormality called Trisomy 18.
When I said I didn't want to do this, I was told I had a responsibility to care for the patient.
I was called to the room by my patient when she felt the baby coming. The obstetrician was not in the hospital.
The baby delivered quickly, totally encased in the amniotic fluid- filled sac. When I broke the bag of water, the baby began breathing. I never expected the baby to survive, and I immediately panicked, because everything in me said I needed to resuscitate this baby.
I called the neonatal nurse practitioner to the room. She said I could do nothing but monitor for the time of death. I can't even begin to convey to you the overwhelming emotion that came over me – fear, anger, grief. I sat on the patient's bed sobbing as I waited for the heartbeat and respirations to cease. The baby died in approximately one hour. I immediately resigned."
Another nurse related the following story to Jill Stanek:
Share on Facebook
The mother was expecting to deliver a baby with severe interior anomalies and external defects. Instead, the baby came out alive-with no signs of the external defects that should have been immediately obvious.
"The mother freaked out and started screaming, 'Someone help my baby!' " Stanek recalled being told. "At the parent's insistence, a neonatalogist was summoned who told the parents there was nothing he could do because the baby was born too early. The baby was wrapped in a blanket and given to the grandparents to hold until it died. The mother was so traumatized she had to be sedated."
