Where to start?
Last week was bullshit.
My attempt at 30 Days of Calm completely fell off the rails.
I had my grandparents visiting, which always sends me into a bit of a flap.
The kids were over tired and over-stimulated, their normal routines went out the window.
They were already grumpy and horrid when we gave them the news that their cousins are moving interstate. As you can imagine, they didn't take it well. Lots of tears ensued.
By thursday morning I was desperate for a quiet day at home to regroup and catch up.
Hubby had to go run a few errands, Scout wanted to go with him but it was cold and crappy weather so I kept her home to snuggle and watch cartoons together.
I am so fucking glad I did.
Not 10 minutes later, I get a phone call from Kane.
"Don't freak out, but I've had an accident.
I'm ok, I think, but I've rolled the van.
I don't know if I can get out.
Can you come and get me."
I don't even really remember what came next, I know I calmly explained to the kids that Daddy's car is broken and we need to get in the car really quickly and go get him.
Somehow I got everyone in the car and drove barely 100mtrs down the road where I found this.
Holy Shit.
I still can't look at that picture without feeling sick to my stomach.
Luckily, Kane is fine, completely fine.
I still can't understand how he wasn't injured, not even a scratch, but I am so very thankful for it.
The weekend has been a blur of going to visit my family, searching for a new van, emailing the local council, vicroads, solicitors and everyone else I can think of to try to get this mess sorted out.
We came home yesterday and it all caught up with me.
All the stress.
All the worry.
All the relief.
I had a major anxiety attack, fell into a crying heap and went to bed at 7pm last night.
Today I feel a little better, a little more capable of dealing with this.
I'm going to spend the first day of spring outside, enjoying the perfect weather that Melbourne has turned on for us, I'm going to start thinking about my veggie garden, take my sketchbook outside and try to relax a bit.

What are the interior features available in Nissan Terrano?
By: Dharmpal on 22 january 2015
7 Answers:
The interiors of the Terrano have received a major upgrade over the Duster. Some of the noticeable changes are the introduction of the dual tone beige and black interiors and the new design for the wooden inserts. Seats are cushioned with superior quality leather upholstery, which include leather covered steering wheel as well. The centre console has been redesigned and now flanks vertical silver panels and piano black surrounds for the new multimedia system. In addition, map pockets, seat pockets, cup and bottle holders are some other attractions of the Terrano interior.
Nissan Terrano belongs to compact SUV section and this compact SUV follows regular tardyon of owing basic interior features like spacious cabin for 5 passenger including driver, Air conditioner with built in heater support, entertainment system, leather upholstery which feels and looks good, reclining seats, multifunctional central console, appropriate infotainment centre and these things are blessed with elegance touch of design and placement which makes cabin very comfortable to sit and feels alluring to eyes. Overall cabin is well deigned for Nissan Terrano.
Terrano's all the variants are blessed with four power windows, keyless entry, dual tone interiors which makes the cabin look more luxurious. Apart from that there is an AC unit with pollen filter system with independently controlled rear vents. The high quality infotainment system consists of a LCD display and music player. There are two 12V sockets, central arm-rest, lumbar support seats, rear parking sensor and various gauges like, average fuel consumption, distance to empty along with headlight warning lamps.
The Nissan Terrano has incorporated attractive painted side insert on steering wheel, chrome insert on gear shift knob and silver finished front and rear door armrest with two cup holders, adjustable rear seat head rests and for the entertainment it has great features such as, audio system with four speakers, 12 V socket for rear passengers, seat belt height adjustment, front map lamps and reading lamps for rear passengers.
I am agree with my friend said above, The Nissan Terrano has beautifully crafted from inside and it's a keyless entry, power/tilt steering, four-speed air conditioner with pollen filter, foldable rear seat backrest, adjustable front seat headrests, rear centre headrest for better comfort, 12 V front socket, drive computer, digital clock, head lamp on warning indicator, seat back pockets, cup holders on floor console, parcel tray, and trunk room lamp have also been integral in the cabin.
I have similar thoughts, the Nissan Terrano is having all regular equipments available like, 4-speed air conditioner with pollen filter, 2-speed rear air conditioner with independent control, rear glass washer with jet built, adjustable front seat headrests, adjustable rear seat headrests, inetgrated2-DIN audio system with USB, Aux-in and Bluetooth and four speakers and the vehicle comes with ticket holder on driver side sun visor, passenger side vanity mirror and front central roof light with timer.
Yes, Nissan Terrano is a great SUV its design attracts a lot of fleeting look. Besides an interior that has an overload of different colors, textures and geometric shapes, the XUV also comes with way more features. There's a detailed driver interface operated via a touch screen, a multifunctional steering wheel, digital climate control system and a cooled glove box. There are more driving aids too such as cruise control, and on the safety end, it gets six airbags and ESP.

The Windsor Cove Apartment complex in Orlando, Florida, owned and operated by the Global Ministries Foundation, and received a Notice of Default from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) this past month for being in default of the HUD Housing Assistance Payments program. Inspectors also found a total of 59 health and safety deficiencies(HSD) that include mold.
On April 27, 2016 the Real Estate Assessment Center ("REAC") inspected the Project and the Project received a score of 48, c*. The inspection report identified serious deficiencies that demonstrate the Owner is in default of the HAP Contract and HAP Renewal Contract. Some of the deficiencies cited in the REAC report include, but are not limited to the following:
* 59 health and safety deficiencies(HSD) were observed
* Damaged Soffits/Fascia (Roofs)
* Obstructed or Missing Accessibility Route (FHEO Accessibility to Main Floor Entrance)
* Unit – Damaged Hardware/Locks (Doors)
* Unit – Damaged/Missing Screens (Windows) and HS
* Mold and/or Mildew Observed (Air Quality)
This is the man in charge of overseeing the day to day affairs of the organization, Rev. Richard L. Hamlet – President and CEO, Global Ministries Foundation.
Senator Marco Rubio had issued this statement about the Windsor Cove Apartment complex, and its owners, Global Ministries Foundation, and Rev Richard Hamlet;
"After witnessing the atrocious conditions at Windsor Cove during my visit with Senator Nelson earlier this week, I am not surprised by the news that another property owned by the Global Ministries Foundation has received a Notice of Default. This is one more exhibit in the slam-dunk case against the slumlords running these complexes and stealing money from the American taxpayers.
"Inspectors found 59 health and safety deficiencies at the property, including damaged roofs, obstructed accessibility routes, broken locks, stuck windows, and of course, air quality polluted by mold. Global Ministries Foundation keeps leaving behind the same signature trail of mismanagement, resident intimidation, and the stench of rotting mold at every property they own.
"The clock has started for Mr. Hamlet to remediate these deficiencies, and he has 60 days to do it. For the sake of the families and small children that are trapped in this slum, I hope he meets this deadline. But 60 days of living in the presence of health-damaging conditions is far too long for the residents of Windsor Cove.
"The amendments I added to H.R. 2577 would reduce the amount of time an owner has to respond to physical deficiencies to 15 days and if he doesn't, gives HUD 30 days to develop a plan to fix it. They would also give tenants access to temporary relocation assistance in situations just like this where health threats have been found, but the property has not yet been condemned. I urge the conferees for H.R. 2577 to make these amendments a priority to ensure the health and safety of public housing tenants nationwide."
Apparently this has been going on for a long time. In July 2015, local news station, WFTV 9 ABC had reported:
Kelveena Green is one of few tenants who isn't afraid to show 9 Investigates the conditions at Windsor Cove, on Mercy Drive.
Carefully walking through a pool of water, she showed investigative reporter Daralene Jones a leak inside her son's closet. Several buckets catch the water dripping through her ceiling, even leaking into a light bulb.
"I'm swimming in a pool of water every day, and my kids are getting sick," Green said.
Most in the complex fear going on camera but showed Jones patchwork sealing of leaks, peeling paint and melted electrical outlets. And outside, trash is piling up, plastic supplements metal gutters and exposed electrical boxes are feet from where children play.
"I've had mold. I've had electricity problems," said one longtime resident, who didn't want to show her face.
However, she told Jones she was speaking out in hopes it helps the next tenant who moves in after she leaves.
According to Orange County Property Appraiser records, Global Ministries Foundation bought the complex in 2012 for $9.1 million.
Code Enforcement has logged more than 100 complaints and violations at the Section 8 property, and it's fielding two complaints a day since a sweep in May.

>> Do you advocate the current situation to NOT change? [...] > No. I accept a change may be worthwhile, but 2Q seems very high and > suggested without reason. (See my other messages on the topic.) After all the mails in the thread, I *think* I go and propose something very similar to what I initially had, and then either propose an amendment myself that takes the lower value of Q only[1], or wait for someone else to do that. I think its best we end up with 2 options on the vote, 1) Increase requirements to 2Q [3:1] 2) Increase requirements to Q [3:1] and also the usual Further Discussion, which would be for everyone who wants to keep the current state of 5 people. That, IMO, should fit everyone. [1] Yes, the proposer can also propose an amendment. And doesnt need to accept it to change the initial proposal, so ending up with two vote options. (Assuming it gets enough seconds). > In general, that's correct. In particular, if you need 30 people just > to *start* the discussion period, that's going to kill many potential > options before they have any chance of building consensus and others > will be far too entrenched by the time public discussion starts; > also, it's 30 DDs, not 30 people. You wont need Q, 2Q, Q^1024 people to start a discussion period. This whole thread didnt need a single second to run like it is, usually all our flames don't need them. Yes, this is not the formal discussion period, but if you fear you wont get enough seconds, or might not be sure its the best to do, going the way I did with this seems to be ok, and able to draw attention from people. >> You'll note it was not proposed as a vote, >> even though it could easily get the required number of seconds to do >> so, but rather as a discussion point to further build that consensus >> among a wider forum, and hone some of the little (but important) >> details. > I applaud that it appeared pre-proposal[!], but I think the emphasis > is on building a majority (not consensus). The discussion so far > seems to have consisted of Joerg[*] and others defending the proposal > as it currently stands, rather than engaging in any > consensus-building. Of course I do defend what I want. Yet, I still read and keep in mind what others think. > Here's a summary list of concerns I mentioned in other emails:- > 1. 2Q is unjustified and excessive; I did justify it. "If you cant find 30 people out of 1000 that are in the project, why bother 1000 to vote on it?". > 3. it favours organised campaign groups who gather in secret before > springing discussion on debian lists; Umm. If you think so. > I'd welcome other examples, particularly if the minimum is equivalent > to anything like the 30 or 60 in the original proposal. Which 60? Its 30 (2Q) or its 15 (Q) what seems to be wanted. > Also, if this reform doesn't work and we have trouble finding 30 > seconds for necessary resolutions, then I fear we'll have trouble > finding 30 seconds for another internal-policy bugfix resolution. I'd > feel safer if this was a limited-time trial at first, or at least the > previous SRP could be used to modify it, as a safeguard. So you think if something is clearly found to be a mistake at some point, the DDs wouldnt be able to admit it and revert it? It *only* takes 30 people to start that. -- bye, Joerg <madduck> and yes, the ftpmasters are not the most clueful people

LOVE SHARE (??????) • Aoi Kujyou • DMP (2008) • Ookura Shuppan (2003) • 1 volume • Yaoi • 18+
If you've ever wondered what it would be like to be punched in the eye without picking a fight with someone bigger than you then Love Share is the manga for you! The art is horrible. Every character looks as if they have been assembled from bits of lesser anime bishonen to make a terrifying Frankenstein of bodyparts. The storytelling is a hot mess of jumbled-up panels and the dialogue is stilted and overblown. After a dozen rereads, the reader may somehow manage to find some sort of meaning in the tale of the turbulent relationship between obnoxious Izumi and pushover Kazushi, but it seems unlikely. (Review by Leia Weathington)
Another "yaoi weekend" review courtesy of Leia Weathington. Today's winner is Liliana M. of Texas. Congratulations, Liliana!

Tracks will alternate Grand Prix races
Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone says Barcelona and Valencia have agreed to alternate as hosts of Grand Prix races in Spain starting in 2013.
Article continues below ...
Ecclestone told Cadena Ser radio the two cities agreed in principle and were working out dates, calling it "a good solution" for both.
Spain has been hard hit by Europe's financial crisis. The amount paid by local organizers to host the F1 races has come under scrutiny with national unemployment near 23 percent and the government introducing austerity measures.
Ecclestone says "the year Valencia does not host it would not have to pay."
The two circuit heads said negotiations were ongoing.
This year, Barcelona hosts the Spanish GP on May 13 and Valencia has the European GP on June 24.

I have a Toshiba laptop, a Satellite L455-S5975, that originally came with a WD 250GB 2.5" SATA drive.
I recently got a new 500GB drive, and replaced the original 250GB with the 500GB drive. I am a longtime BING user, so I installed BING on the new drive, and everything was good.
The problem that I'm having is with the original 250GB drive, which is now not installed on the laptop. I wanted to copy stuff off of the old 250GB drive, plus, after that, I figured I'd stick it into a 2.5" enclosure and use it as a spare external drive.
To copy files from the drive, I have one of those drive docks, where you can drop a drive into it, and access the drive via USB.
However, when I did that, I couldn't see the drive either in BING or in Windows.
So, I got a new 2.5" enclosure, that has both USB and eSATA output, and I put the 2.5" drive into that enclosure.
However, even with that, when I connect to the drive via USB, neither Windows nor BING can see the drive.
HOWEVER, if I hook up the enclosure to a computer, or to another laptop that I have that has an eSATA port, I can see the drive ok.
In other words, with this 250GB drive, I cannot see the drive via USB, but I can see the drive via eSATA.
As I said, it's a WD 250GB 2.5" SATA drive, and I can't figure out what would prevent the drive from being visible via USB. The only thing I can think of is that, since this was the original drive in the Toshiba laptop, maybe Toshiba does something, or does something to the drive (e.g., maybe some weird partitioning) that would prevent anything from seeing it unless via the SATA interface.
Does anyone know why this might be the case?
I'd really like to get this drive to work with the USB, so that it can be useable for storage.
Thanks, and, BTW, a little belated Happy New Year to you all!

The U.S. and other Mideast mediators won't be able to revive direct Israeli-Palestinian peace talks by the end of this weekend, missing the first deadline in a plan to reach a two-state agreement by the end of next year and sidestep a contentious U.N. vote over Palestinian statehood without defined borders, U.S. officials said Monday.
State Department spokesman Mark Toner said the "quartet" of Mideast mediators will meet separately with Israeli and Palestinian officials next week, but Israel and the Palestinians weren't returning to the same negotiating table.
The quartet of the U.S., United Nations, European Union and Russia had demanded last month that both sides return to direct negotiations by Oct. 23, and the failure to meet that modest goal highlights the intractability of the conflict. The Jewish state continues to expand settlements in east Jerusalem and the Palestinians refuse to drop their request for U.N. recognition as an independent state and membership in the global body.
Toner said the Oct. 26 meeting in Jerusalem would aim to establish an agenda for future Israeli-Palestinian talks, but he gave no date for when those might occur. Israel and the Palestinians haven't negotiated in more than a year, and next week's talks are essentially a continuation of the current diplomatic efforts.
The quartet set the deadline for preliminary Israeli-Palestinian talks on Sept. 23, just hours after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas presented the Palestinian bid for statehood at the United Nations. Toner said next week's talks would be in "accordance with the timetable," even if they come three days after the deadline, and that they will move the sides "towards direct negotiations."
"That is our ultimate goal," Toner said.
The format of separate talks with Israel and the Palestinians represents a setback for the Obama administration, which has been trying to rally opposition in the international community to the Palestinians' U.N. action but has been unable to present the Palestinians a viable alternative that might lead to an independent state anytime soon.
In an interview last week with The Associated Press, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said mediators had proposed an Israeli-Palestinian meeting this month and that the global spotlight on the conflict should be a catalyst to bring the sides into tough bargaining.
"The whole world is saying now is the moment," Clinton said.
But it appears mediators haven't devised a formula satisfying the Palestinian demand for a freeze on Israeli settlements for peace talks to occur, and the Israeli demand that there be no preconditions on the negotiations. U.S. officials earlier had hoped that the two sides would meet on Oct. 23 in Jordan, and that they'd discuss the issues directly.
The Obama administration has insisted that a peace agreement must be negotiated between the Israelis and Palestinians, vowing to veto any U.N. Security Council resolution recommending U.N. membership for an independent Palestine.

|Computational Study of ADD1 Gene Polymorphism Associated with Hypertension.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22810272 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|We have determined the non-synonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) of α adducin 1 (ADD1) gene and its variations in different populations to understand its role in hypertension. Out of 1,113 SNPs, 9 are found to be non-synonymous, of which 7 showed significant damaging effect and one of them showed SNP variability with large differences among the minor allele frequency observed in various populations. The amino acid change found for rs4961 is from glycine to tryptophan, i.e., from an alkyl amino acid to an aromatic amino acid. This residual change is observed in the coiled region of the protein and is also predicted to be disordered by computational algorithm. Protein disorder plays an important role in structural and functional genomics. Hence, because of the complete change in side chains of the amino acid residues occurring in the coiled and disordered region of the protein, the structure of the protein might be altered and the function might be affected, leading to the risk for hypertension.

I finally got a copy of Deborah Tannen's You Just Don't Understand: Women and Men in Conversation about how men and women generally express themselves in two very different ways, but interpret each other's responses in terms of their own way. It's like cross-cultural communication. For example, if you come from a region where you're expected to compliment someone who compliments you, and I come from a region where one-way compliments are allowed, you may think I'm rude for not counter-complimenting you, and I may think you're a phony when I see you scrounging for something nice to say about me because I complimented you. It's really just a cultural difference – no one's right or wrong.
From the preface, I get the idea Tannen's specialty is cross-cultural communication. She wrote this book on gender communication in response to a high volume of interest from people at lectures, and she was concerned about the topic in general. How do you suggest that men and women are fundamentally different without opening up a huge can of worms? Are the differences from social training, or genetics? Is one gender wrong and the other right?
She states repeatedly that neither gender is right or wrong, that many approaches are valid. From what I've read so far, she deals only with normal, healthy communication between people who actually have good intentions because her topic is misunderstandings which can be avoided through increased understanding and awareness. Deliberate misunderstandings or misinterpretations, or attempts to obscure one's own meaning, are something else entirely.
A lot of her points are unassailable. As Redbyrd brought up in the forum, some of us are natural problem solvers. When friends try to vent to us about a problem, we offer solutions. They get mad. We think, "What the hell?" According to Tannen, it's generally men who are problem solvers and women who just want to vent. In my personal experience, it's evenly split – I've offended many men and women by offering solutions when they just wanted to share. They're using the problem as a bid for intimacy, not as a request for information. Instead of viewing my proposed solution as an act of love meant to deliver them from unhappiness, they take it as my putting them at arm's length. Avoiding intimacy by giving a solution that invalidates their right to complain. The solution, according to most of the venters I know, is for me to adjust. For me to learn to just listen and make sympathetic noises.
To me, it seems like another solution might be for the venter to realize that problem solvers offer suggestions out of love. The product of their minds is intimate and valuable to them. I have one family member who tells me whether she's just venting or actually wants a solution before she even starts, so I know how to respond. That's a mutual adjustment. Most people in my experience just insist they know what you really meant, and that you're being a complete bastard. I guess that's one way to find out who your real friends are.
And what does all this have to do with tv and film? Reinforcement of stereotypes. TV and film just keep emphasizing this (mythical) canyon between men and women. We'll never understand each other. Men will always sit around saying very little over their beers, yet understand each other through their psychic male bond. Women will always sit around moodily lit living rooms weeping softly while recounting all their troubles and probably cuddling. Especially if we're trying to bring in the lesbian-fetish male viewers.
Let's count the number of things wrong with that picture. First, who hasn't known dozens of women who offer solutions, and dozens of men who just like to talk at length about problems? Second, how difficult is it for venters to learn that problem solvers offer solutions out of love, and for problem solvers to learn that venters think problems are fodder for intimacy? Not at all, if you, you know, talk about it. And actually want to understand the other person. Actually care.
There's an extreme lack of male-female bonding on TV. There's no lack of sex, but outside the bonding of bodies, very little is connecting. Even when a man and woman seem to love each other, we're rarely given any insight into why. Contrast this with much richer male-male friendship pairings that leave us wondering, speculating, thinking we know just why they're so close. Why the whole is worth more than the sum of the parts. And contrast this with women-women friendship pairings, which are rarely anymore fleshed out than male-female pairings of any kind. Women are friends because they haven't slept with each other's fiances yet, but as we all know, they probably will because that's what women do: fight each other to lay claim to a man. Oh, boy, don't the male viewers get aroused with that little fantasy.
Because, of course, women aren't capable of true sisterhood, like men are capable of brotherhood. Women are fickle, unfaithful creatures where men are dependable, reliable, capable of competing with each other and still being friends. God bless their little hearts, I'm so proud of them I could just die. American TV and film leaves me picturing a gang of men who've just beaten each other senseless sharing frothy American beers in front of an American flag, while off to the side, a couple of business women are mud-wrestling because one of them wants the other's husband. The beer guys are watching the mud-wrestling. The flag is flying very erect.
I don't think the men making films want to understand women. It's not that it's so difficult they can't do it – hell, probably half of us are more like them than we are like other women, so surely they could understand us. It's that if they realized we're really not that different – that we may value some things slightly more or less than they do, but basically we all want pretty much the same things out of life – they might find it harder to buy into their own wet dreams about women being stupid enough to make dumbass men look clever, or being desperate enough to lust after dorks.

Bluemont, Oct. 04, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The U.S. Department of the Army on Wednesday, October 3 released a sources sought notice in which it outlined plans to collect information about government contractors interested in and capable of providing maintenance dredging services at various navigation projects throughout the geographical boundaries of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District. This area includes portions of Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida.
According to the sources sought notice, the Army will use responses to make appropriate acquisition decisions. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District, anticipates several future procurements in fiscal year 2018 for the rental and/or unit price of dredging equipment to perform maintenance dredging of inland river systems as well as coastal harbors, rivers, bays, and bar channels. These future requirements for rental and/or unit price dredging equipment will be for different size categories of dredges and for different types of dredges as described below.
One requirement will be for hydraulic, cutterhead dredges with a minimum pump discharge diameter of 20 through 24 inches measured as the inside diameter of the discharge side of the main dredge pump and a minimum horsepower applied to the main pump of 2100/2400 respectively.
A second requirement will be for hydraulic, cutterhead dredges with a minimum pump discharge diameter of 27 through 30 inches measured as the inside diameter of the discharge side of the main dredge pump and a minimum horsepower applied to the main pump of 3750/5000 respectively.
A third requirement will be for trailing suction hopper dredges with a minimum hopper capacity of 3600 cubic yards.
All of the above requirements must be complete with crew, management staff, and support equipment, including pipelines, booster pumps, tugs, and various other floating plants as would normally be expected to support a large dredging operation.
The solicitations will be Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contracts with task orders issued for various dredging locations with the maximum contract value not to exceed $50 million. The proposed construction duration will be 14 months after the Notice to Proceed is issued for the first task order. Sources are being sought for firms with a North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code of 237990 with a Small Business Size Standard of $20 Million.
Interested and capable contractors must respond by no later than October 20 at 2 p.m. EST to Thomas L. Cochran at firstname.lastname@example.com and Drenna Thompson at firstname.lastname@example.com with the following information:
Responses must be no longer than eight pages.

Uncertain weather remains Sri Lanka's main concern as they attempt to extend their supremacy over Bangladesh in a three-Test series starting here.
Sudden heavy showers, common for the region at this time of the year, have hampered preparations for the first Test at the Sinhalese Sports Club (SSC) and more rain has been forecast for the entire week.
While the teams have often had to practise indoors over the last few days, Bangladesh's three-day tour match against Sri Lanka 'A' saw just 140 overs bowled due to bad weather.
"There is little one can do about the weather but we should get enough play because the ground dries up very fast," said Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene.
Bangladesh will need more than just rain to keep the Sri Lankans at bay after suffering heavy defeats in quick time in all of their previous seven Tests against the islanders.
Rain threatens Sri Lanka-Bangladesh Test
Uncertain weather remains Sri Lanka's main concern as they attempt to extend their supremacy over Bangladesh in a three-Test series starting here.
Four of those Tests ended in under three days and the remaining three early on the fourth morning as the Sri Lankan bowling attack, led by Muttiah Muralitharan, blew the hapless Bangladeshis away.
The prolific off-spinner, whose career haul of 674 includes 50 wickets in just six matches against Bangladesh, is 35 scalps away from surpassing retired Australian leg-spinner Shane Warne's world-record tally of 708.
Bangladesh, led for the first time by 22-year-old batsman Mohammad Ashraful, face a daunting task against a side that have proved almost unbeatable at home over the last few years.
Sri Lanka have won seven of their last 10 home Tests, with two draws and just one loss against Pakistan.
Bangladesh, who made their maiden appearance in the second round of the limited-overs World Cup in the Caribbean early this year, are still finding their feet in traditional five-day Test cricket.
They have lost 40 of their 46 matches since gaining the Test status in 2000, with five draws and a lone victory against a struggling Zimbabwe in 2005.
Both teams will be without regular coaches after Sri Lanka's Tom Moody returned home to Western Australia in May and Dav Whatmore quit Bangladesh at the same time.
Trevor Penney, who was Moody's assistant, will look after Sri Lanka till newly-appointed Australian Trevor Bayliss takes charge in August.
Bangladesh are being temporarily supervised by another Australian, Shaun Williams, who is director of the country's junior cricket.
Both teams will name their playing elevens before the toss on Monday.
Bangladesh (from): Mohammad Ashraful (capt), Mashrafe Mortaza, Habibul Bashar, Javed Omer, Mehrab Hossain, Shahriar Nafees, Rajin Saleh, Shakib Al Hasan, Khaled Mashud, Shahadat Hossain, Syed Rasel, Mohammed Rafique, Abdur Razzak, Mohammad Sharif, Mushfiqur Rahim.
Sri Lanka (from): Mahela Jayawardene (capt), Michael Vandort, Kumar Sangakkara, Chamara Silva, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Prasanna Jayawardene, Chaminda Vaas, Farveez Maharoof, Muttiah Muralitharan, Lasith Malinga, Dilhara Fernando, Malinga Bandara, Malinda Warnapura, Sujeewa de Silva.

Assuming that 650 milligrams of ibuprofen is the recommended dose for an individual, it can be combined with 650 milligrams of acetaminophen. It is safe to combine acetaminophen and ibuprofen at their recommended doses, according to SafeMedication.
Ibuprofen and acetaminophen both work differently and have different side effects on the body, notes the Arthritis Foundation. Aspirin, naproxen and ibuprofen all work in a similar manner within the body and have very similar side effects. Unless prescribed by a health care provider, these drugs should not be taken together in order to avoid complications. A study published by the Arthritis Foundation found that the combination of acetaminophen and ibuprofen is effective in relieving pain but raised an individual's risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Deborah Lipstadt was sued by David Irving for libel. She won, but she fears charging him with denying Nazi crimes only raises his profile
The last time David Irving was in court, I was the defendant in a libel suit that he had brought against me for calling him a Holocaust denier, a racist and an anti-Semite. It was a case he lost on all accounts.
Next week, Irving will be back in court, this time on trial in Austria for violating a 1947 law against minimisation of Nazi-era crimes. The case revolves around speeches he gave in the country in 1987 in which he denied the Holocaust. He has been held in custody since last November, when he was arrested after returning to Austria to address a group of right-wing students. But despite the fact that Irving cost me tremendous time, energy and money defending myself, I hope the Austrian authorities release him.
In the libel trial, Irving was the cause of his own misfortune. While building my defence, we traced his sources and found that virtually every one of his claims about the Holocaust contained a fabrication, a distortion or a lie. This became dramatically clear in court. When asked by Richard Rampton, my barrister, how he could say that Hermann Goering "goggled" at a certain exchange when there was absolutely no evidence that Goering was even at this meeting, Irving declared: "author's licence". On another occasion Irving, whose knowledge of German is impeccable, attributed to the pressure of preparing for the trial at 2am the previous day, a mistranslation that rendered the ominous field ovens - the incineration grids on which the Germans burnt their victims' bodies - into utterly benign field kitchens. We pointed out that we had downloaded the same document with the same mistranslation from Irving's website two years earlier. He replied that he had made the same mistake twice.
Such things happened daily as Irving's claims to be a fastidious historian evaporated. When the judge declared him to be a "liar", a "falsifier of history," an "anti-Semite" and a "racist" whose conclusions were "unjustified," a "travesty" and "unreal", it was all over for him - certainly in serious historical circles.
Irving, his Austrian lawyer says, plans to plead guilty next week. But even this sounds a bit contrived. According to his lawyer, Irving has seen the light and now acknowledges the existence of gas chambers. His epiphany apparently came after he found fresh information in the Moscow archives in the 1990s. If this is the case, why was he still arguing that the gas chambers were fiction when he faced me in court in 2000?
But I would still like him to be released. As a result, some people have complimented me for my compassion and forgiveness. That is a lot of rot. I have no compassion for a man who has caused pain to Holocaust survivors and their families, and who seems to delight in spreading racism and anti-Semitism. If Irving were to admit his falsehoods and ask them - not me - for forgiveness, I might feel differently towards him. But he has shown no such inclination.
Rather than on grounds of compassion, I support Irving's release for ideological and strategic reasons. Laws against Holocaust denial contravene the notion of free speech. Although I am not a free-speech absolutist, I have never been comfortable with censorship. The recent debate about the publication of the Danish cartoons depicting Muhammad has given added meaning to that stance. If one outlaws Holocaust denial, one can outlaw such cartoons. If one outlaws such cartoons, one can outlaw what Shiites say about Sunnis, Orthodox Jews about Reform Jews, and Baptists about Catholics. Simply put: there is no end to the matter.
I recognise that Germany and Austria have a unique history that gives Holocaust denial a particular resonance. As uncomfortable as I am with such laws, I understand the impulse behind them in these countries. But I believe that they are not efficacious. Jailing Irving will render him a free-speech martyr and rescue him from his current state of oblivion. Let him return to the UK and be met by the thunderous sound of one hand clapping.
After all, this is a man about whom Judge Gray wrote: "His falsification of the historical record was deliberate... (and) motivated by a desire to present events in a manner consistent with his own ideological beliefs even if that involved distortion and manipulation of historical evidence." Let him spend his time with those neo-Nazis and deniers still anxious to listen to him. They deserve each other.
Deborah Lipstadt is Dorot professor of modern Jewish and Holocaust studies at Emory University and author of History on Trial: My Day in Court with David Irving , published by HarperCollins World, £14.99.

Osceola County's plan to build an equine-therapy center for wounded veterans and the disabled has sparked a lawsuit from neighbors along with organizations that say they were shut out.
In April, commissioners agreed to a deal with the University of Central Florida and Heavenly Hoofs equine-therapy group to establish a riding venue at Ralph V. Chisholm Park in Narcoossee, near St. Cloud. The county pledged to spend about $1 million to build a large barn with 20 stalls, a covered riding area, parking, trails and other amenities.

LPGA star Lexi Thompson has renewed with Cobra Puma Golf.
The manufacturer will supply the American with golf equipment, apparel and footwear. As part of the agreement, Thompson – who is also a brand ambassador for the German firm – will lend her image to various advertising campaigns. She has previously starred in campaigns with stablemate Usain Bolt and recently launched the 'Do You' campaign designed to inspire women to 'stay true to themselves'.
Thompson was the first golfer to sign with the brand following its merger in 2010. The financial terms of the extension have not been released.
"I've really enjoyed having Cobra and Puma by my side since I turned professional, and I can't wait to see what we can accomplish together in the next phase of my career," said Thompson. "They are a fun, innovative and exciting partner, keeping me looking good, comfortable and prepared with first-class equipment so I can focus on winning, training and being the best athlete I can be."
Bob Philion, president of Cobra Puma Golf, added: "Lexi transcends golf. She has established herself not only as a world-class golfer and one of the top personalities in the industry, but also as an incredible athlete and role model,"
Thompson is the only female golfer competing at the PGA event, the Franklin Templeton Shootout, which runs from 9th December to 11th December. The Shootout is a three-day 54-hole stroke play event in which teams of two compete and is hosted by Australian golfer Greg Norman.
Thompson will be paired with fellow Cobra Puma Golf player Bryson DeChambeau.
