I currently have the ancient Motorola SB5101, I use it with a D-Link DIR-655 router (doubt the router matters here though)My Cox internet service is PremeirI only ask since allot of people were shocked at how old my modem is
Well the real question is, do you notice speed slowdown's during peak usage hours(7pm-11pm/1am)? If so a newer D3 modem would benefit you, as your using a D2 modem. That is limited to one downstream channel, and one upstream channel. That one downstream channel has a max bandwidth of 38mbps, and its shared locally with others on your node.With a D3 modem you can bond up to 4 downstream channels, and 4 upstream. There are even newer D3 modems that can bond up to 8 downstream channels, and 4 upstream channels. So simply with a D3 modem you will have more bandwidth available to you, so there are a lot less chances of speed slowdown's during peak usage hours. So your connection would be even more reliable with a D3 modem. However D3 modem doesn't mean you will get faster speeds then you pay for, you will see faster short burst of powerboost speed, that last a very short time though.

Debate: Should we endlessly assist population expansion?
I was intrigued by Magnus Larsson and indeed other TED talkers about helping with the desperate plight of people in Africa, for example the chap assisting with clean water and his 15nm filter.
But being a long view sort of chap, I immediately wonder if the best thing for the dirt poor isn't contraception. This may sound harsh, but I am no eugenics nut, this is not about picking cultures or races.
Also I wish no ill to any living people, they should receive aid, but the biggest taboo in modern science and political strategy seems to be overpopulation.
For anyone not knowing, please look at the world population figures for the past few hundred years, they cannot be overstated.
Simply working on keeping communities alive, finding renewable energies and looking to feed people is treating the symptoms, not the plague. And people, human beings are the plague.
Why is nobody asking questions like, just how many people do we want to support on this planet? Not even - how many can we support?
Now think of a world with 1 billion people. Or less. How's about several hundred million. Those people can live spread across the world according to available resources. We could still improve on our pollutions but decreasing the population seems to me to immediately fix most of the world's problems, and I don't see a down side. Why do those that want children need more than two? And really, why more than one?
Then the other counter to initiatives like Magnus' is, SHOULD we interfere with nature on the scale that he proposes? Do we really think we know the true consequences of something like that? Ask yourself, why is the desert swallowing green belt? Is it because humans interfered?
I have grave concerns that if you feed everyone, and provide their other basic needs through technology, without any cultural revolution, that overpopulation will simply and VERY rapidly throw up the next major problem, and that this may risk life on this planet.

Karen ColeOct 27 2012: The difficulty with population controls is that those who are in a position to see the facts and imagine the consequence are all very well fed, have access to the necessary birth control measures etc. If you live on the margin of survival, as Maslow so carefully explained, you care for little else but the next meal or the nearest shelter. To give all of those who live today the surety of a fair chance of survival, is most probably within the ability of human race, but falls rather low on the "wish list" of most of us.. Ergo. Nature will have her way. As a now less than youthful woman who chose 45 years ago for many reasons not to bring any children into this world, only one ( fairly low priority reason) of which was I could see little reason to bring yet more of us into it, I understand both the overwhelming drive to do so and the economics of necessity that drive the population growth. I had a choice, but who amongst us are arrogant enough to believe we have the right to choose for others ?
Yet if we do not do so the " others " essentially do choose for us. Nature is very clear, eventually she will do away with the excess of every species and any species that cannot or will not adapt to the changing planet will disapear. We are changing the planet and many do die, many humans and many more species. As a child a disaster ( flood volcano etc) killed or displaced 10s of thousands now it kill or displaces 100,000's. (eg. China 800,000 peasants displaced by the building of the 3 Gorges dam)
What we can do is talk and explain, educate, explain the consequence. Change the thinking, change the benefits, change the values, change how we rescue, change how we provide for those unable to provide for themselves, change the expectations. It has to be persuasion . Open up the choices to logic and teach people the consequence for " following " instinct rather than logic. Start with YOUR children, and YOUR culture. Be willing to make your child a misfit!
Oct 27 2012: I have tried, in my mind for some time to try and put this in the least troll like manner possible, but basically my issue with your statement Karen, is that it portrays precisely the "western" attitudes I see as the problems for real change in the third world. Apologies in advance.
It is supreme arrogance and folly to think in terms of "us" "westerners" controlling and assisting the third world like parents of helpless children. Even your term "population controls" is immediately repugnant to all, even me, the advocate here for population decrease.
But you raise another interesting effect of overpopulation, it helps us dehumanise "these people", living in millions or so here and there in filth, breeding and living like animals, and of course, "we" have little sympathy for animals.
The more of us there are, the less important we are, I truly believe that, as we are less unique.
And like Stalin famously pointed out, the figures just numb people, 800,000 people displaced, I cannot connect to that, and how bad could it be if they were all together, right? Besides in my own country I have the distractions of my own 63 million British residence. Not to mention the forced media from the 300+ million folks in the states.
With foreign aid, there are no moral imperatives. We are not obliged to help, but if we choose to, we take on the total responsibility of our actions, intended and otherwise. So if you provide the basic needs of life to people that then multiply to harmful figures, that is on you. Their children's suffering is on you also.
SHOULD we help everyone, SHOULD people live in such places, SHOULD we prop up their societies of suffering and ignorance? I have as much sympathy for Darwinism as the third world if I am truly honest. Maybe that's why we only dabble there. Which is the worst idea.
Finally, I think it is critical to see the truth of breeding in the third world. "Family planning" does not factor into rape. Beyond that, sex is currency and the Xbox

Dr. Terrence Rynne will present on his new book Jesus Christ, Peacemaker: A New Theology of Peace and sign copies of the book after the presentation.
From Amazon: This path breaking book shows how the early church took seriously the "hard sayings" of the sermon on the Mount, put them into practice even in the teeth of violent repression, and, as a result of imitating Jesus' lifestyle, converted the Roman Empire.
From Orbis: A new theology of peace that renders the just war theory near mute by making Jesus and his teachings the cornerstone of both theory and practice.

Pursuing a faith that does justice is a hallmark of Jesuit higher education. The peacemaking and social justice retreat is a student-led experience for those already involved in peacemaking and social justice activities as well as those interested in getting involved in these types of efforts.
Designed around the Gospel traditions of peacemaking and nonviolence as well as the emphasis on social justice in Catholic Social Teaching and the biblical prophets, the retreat will explore what these messages mean to us today and what these values look like when put into action.
This is a great opportunity to meet other social justice-oriented students through small- and large-group interactions as well as to reflect on your service, activism, and values during individual reflection.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, fiscal deal maker?
That's the latest incarnation the congressman from Wisconsin, who has gone from the 2012 Republican vice presidential candidate to the party's fiscal wonk as chairman of the House Budget Committee.
Ryan was one-half of the bipartisan duo that unveiled a budget deal that would set spending levels and relieve arbitrary forced spending cuts scheduled to hit early next year, according to the agreement announced Tuesday -- just days before a deadline to settle the matter.
"This agreement makes sure that we don't have a government shutdown scenario in January. It makes sure we don't have another government shutdown scenario in October. It makes sure that we don't lurch from crisis to crisis," Ryan said.
The move has put the national spotlight squarely back on the congressman for the first time since the GOP presidential loss.
Ryan had remained largely silent while Republicans and Democrats battled in October over a federal shutdown and how to move forward on a government funding bill.
His reticence was more noticeable because the prominent fiscal matters front and center now highlight his area of expertise. He is known in Congress as the budget wonk, the expert on the federal government and spending. His colleagues look to him for guidance.
In recent years, he unveiled controversial budget blueprints that dramatically cut spending and altered entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare. His budgets, titled "Path to Prosperity," became the defining documents for Republican fiscal policy.
The budget deal does not directly address Social Security or Medicare.
If Congress approves the deal, the fight would most likely return to President Barack Obama's health care law.
Silence shattered
While Obama and House Speaker John Boehner were at odds in October over the shutdown and the debt ceiling, and while House Republicans were involved in infighting, Ryan broke his months-long silence with an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal.
In the piece, Ryan put forward a new path -- how to break the crippling stalemate in Washington with ideas that even some Democrats support. He did not emerge unscathed.
Ryan took a measured tone in the op-ed. He blamed Obama for not being willing to negotiate but he implored both sides both sides to sit down at the negotiating table.
His idea: his old idea. He proposed "commonsense reforms of the country's entitlement programs."
If his strategy has been to speak little but make a big impact, Ryan definitely made an impact Tuesday with news of a bipartisan budget deal.
2016 ambitions?
Ultimately, his timely emergence could be part of a larger plot. As a young politician with a bright future, speculation is rampant that he might be running for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016.
That speculation only grew louder with trips in recent months to Iowa and New Hampshire, the first presidential nominating states.
He gave the keynote at a birthday fund-raiser for Iowa's Republican governor, Terry Branstad, and attended a fund-raising breakfast for a congressional candidate in New Hampshire.
The dilemma
Twenty years ago, Ryan worked for the conservative organization Empower America, which later became FreedomWorks. Since then, the organization has successfully morphed from a group that promoted traditional fiscal conservatism and neoconservative foreign policies into a limited government tea party aligned group. Is Paul Ryan an Empower America Republican? Or a FreedomWorks Republican?
That is Ryan's dilemma. It's the same scenario that is plaguing the Republican Party and dictating the current debate in Washington.
Republican strategist and former Mitt Romney spokesman Ryan Williams has said Ryan's op-ed shows that he's "the adult in the room."
"He felt that it was important for him to speak up to address the seemingly never-ending stalemate that we're witnessing in Washington," Williams added.

The allure of open relationships

The weird ways men show love
Are men meant to be monogamous?
Seedy or special? We look into the growing phenomenon of open relationships.
Many men went into a bit of frenzy when Angelina Jolie told a German magazine that, "I doubt that fidelity is absolutely essential for a relationship." First off, it means we've all still got a chance with arguably the world's sexiest woman, Brad or no Brad. And failing that, it also means that some women really are willing to consider the possibility of an open relationship.
In a nutshell, an open relationship means having one significant other, but still being able to sleep with other women. The downside is that, if you demand that freedom, your significant other has the right to demand it too. So could you handle an open relationship? We talked to the experts to get the low-down. Here's what to expect.
Better to be open than unfaithful
If you don't think open relationships are normal or natural, consider this. According to research, 95% of couples value monogamy, but a study by Washington State University found that, among their subjects, 27% of men and 18% of women had been unfaithful during their last relationship. Other studies show a much narrower gap between male and female infidelity.
What's more, scary statistics over in Britain show that 10% of children are being brought up by men who think they're the biological father but aren't. In other words, seedy on-the-side sex is pretty rife anyway, so wouldn't it be better at least for some couples to be honest about their desires and agree to an open relationship?
It's natural
Not only might it be honest, some experts also believe it's more natural. For a start, humans are mammals, and the vast majority of mammals are not monogamous. In western civilisation, monogamy is the relationship norm. But that doesn't make it natural. Throughout history most humans have been polygamous. Most of that time, it means men have married multiple women.
According to evolutionary biologist Robin Baker, "it's nurture, not nature, that makes us monogamous." Many of us wouldn't naturally settle for one lifelong sexual partner, but our cultural traditions teach us that it's the right thing to do.
Some experts also think that the idea of monogamy evolved at a time when humans had far lower life expectancy than we do now. In the pre-industrial past, marriages would only last a decade or so before death did us part. Could it be that we're simply not meant to be exclusively with the same partner for 30, 40 or 50 years?
In his book
The Evolution of Human Sexuality
, first published in 1979, Donald Symons writes that, "the desire for [sexual] variety is virtually impossible to satisfy." By going for an open relationship, at least you might be giving yourself a chance.
But is it natural for women?
So if it's natural for men to want a varied sex life, what about women? Traditional theory has it that women value monogamy, to ensure there's a man around to bring home the bacon while the kids are young. But even that theory has been upset by more recent revelations from the animal kingdom. Many bird species were once considered the poster animals for monogamy, staying faithful to one partner season after season.
But it turns out not to be true. In birds, as in humans, many males are providing for chicks that aren't their own. The females may be socially monogamous they stick with the same male and share the same territory but they're nipping off for surreptitious quickies with any passing male. Birds aren't people, but studies now suggest that women are almost as likely to cheat as men, suggesting that though many women might want a good provider at home, they may also crave sexual variety on the side.
In evolutionary terms, it could be that women, like birds, take multiple lovers for the sake of their yet-to-be conceived children. In effect, they make the sperm of several males fight it out, with the strongest reaching the egg first. That's not consciously what women are doing in 2011, of course, but it could provide an explanation for some women's urge for sexual variety, even within a committed relationship.
So why don't we all do it?
From all that, an obvious question is why aren't more of us opting for open relationships? But then, perhaps more of us are. According to Tristan Taormino, the author of
Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships
, "there are far more open relationships than you might think."
But monogamy is still the norm, aimed for, if not always achieved, by the vast majority of us. Over 2,000 years of cultural indoctrination may help to explain that. We've been told for centuries by powerful figures that monogamy is the only acceptable kind of relationship. It's no surprise that the message has stuck. Still, there must be a reason monogamy, rather than polygamy, is preached from the pulpits, and indeed it does have its advantages. Largely, it turns out, for men.
Quite simply, men have something fundamental to gain from monogamy that women don't. Only by committing to one sexual partner (or more accurately, getting one partner to commit to them) can men be reasonably certain the offspring they are providing for are really their own. It could be why men have such a highly developed sense of jealously, and indeed the green-eyed monster is one reason open relationships can be such hard work, says Tristan Taormino, who admits to "struggling with jealousy" in her own open relationship.
Yes, you might get the satisfaction of playing away from home with other women, but you're also stuck at home twiddling your thumbs as your partner plays away with other men.
An open relationship is hard to find
Which all adds to the feeling that, while many of us might fantasise about open relationships, far fewer actively seek them out. Not only do you have to persuade one woman your partner to accept a non-exclusive sexual arrangement, you then have to persuade another.
On top of that, you have to accept the fact that your partner will do the same, and get over it. Tristan Taormino says this is possible, but hard. It may be possible for some, but certainly not for everyone. For many of us, an open relationship may be the fantasy that should stay in the box. It's certainly an alluring prospect, and monogamy may not be our natural state, but how many of us could really handle the alternative?

I am always one to try something against the norm. I think with the right mindset and realization that we have all been brought up in a culture with books, movies, music all portraying monogamous love that it will take some reeducation of our minds to become open to this kind of relationship. The freedom and liberation this could bring would be great. Only now need to find a man who is not so jealous or controlling.
Cheating behind someone's back is the lowest.......perhaps ask yourself why and what you are missing to seek elsewhere....and it could all be worked out with your partner.....communication is the key....you may surprise yourselves. Poly relationships can work but both of you need to lay the cards on the table.
I don't believe in taking freedom from others so ultimately its up to individual choice, so long as they're open and honest...which contradicts why most polygamous ppl bed hop...they like the thrill of cheating. Personally Im monogamous. On a society level I can't stand how liberals preach that polygamy is acceptable because "its natural", thats weak. Murder, rape, and violence is also natural if provoked...should we liberate that too. Jealousy and exclusive sexual partners are also natural, hence monogamy is too. I don't think polygamy should be promoted publicly as the sheepish public will flock to it regardless of their beliefs on it, particularly todays sexualized youth. The cost far outweighs the pleasure it brings, which is why discipline in having a monogamous relationship used to be promoted. Bed hopping leads to home hopping. Do we really want to abandon the idea of raising healthy children in a stable family tree just so we can get our end off in a moment of excitement.
The vast majority of open relationships involve one person who has 99% of the sex outside the relationship, and a second person who sits at home waiting for them. Normally the one at home has lousy self confidence, is needy and clingy, and desperately hoping that if they agree to an open relationship their partner won't leave them. I've seen men and women in either role. My advice, if your partner wants an open relationship, consider the relationship to be dying. Break up with them while you still have your self respect.
OMG, this is the first well written and well researched article I have ever read here. Congratulations on ditching the dross & floss & actually presenting a balanced perspective, on a controversial subject , in the face of the norm.

Dear followers and supporters,
I am here to inform you that prime productions will now be officially over, due to lack of team work and cooperation. It was a great ride and it definitely made my last year in high school something to remember. Prime helped me figure out exactly what I wanted to do in life. Even though prime is over doesn't mean I have given up, I just chose to take a different path that will hopefully benefit me and all my friends. If my friends and I choose to reconvene we will have a different company name, since the name prime had been used for companies all over the country. This is not the end of us, my friends and I just need to do our own thing separately. Thank you to all those that supported us, we truly appreciated it.
Sincerely, Christian Jose

Why are we so afraid of being wrong, even when faced with facts?
The Kathryn Schulz talk, "On being wrong," recently reminded me a University of Michigan study on cognitive dissonance.
The Boston globe wrote: "Most of us like to believe that our opinions have been formed over time by careful, rational consideration of facts and ideas, and that the decisions based on those opinions, therefore, have the ring of soundness and intelligence. In reality, we often base our opinions on our beliefs, which can have an uneasy relationship with facts..."
Talk of the Nation on NPR stated: "We'd like to believe that most of what we know is accurate and that if presented with facts to prove we're wrong, we would sheepishly accept the truth and change our views accordingly...that's not what happens, that we base our opinions on beliefs and when presented with contradictory facts, we adhere to our original belief even more strongly."
After being involved with political activism for over a decade, I've seen this behavior over and over again (often times in myself). It seems even more persistent online (just look at many of the TED debates here), perhaps because of the level of separation or anonymity that the internet provides.
Why do you think we're so afraid of being wrong, even if we're presented with data that challenges our notions? Why do as people lose our ability to reason when threatened with the possibility that a belief might be wrong (whether it is in politics, religion, science, or even opinions on pop culture)? How can we avoid this behavior?

Jan 23 2012: I would argue that the fear of being wrong is no different than the fear of loss.
We invest time, money and effort acting in accordance with our own world view, (whatever it may be, whether it is rational or not) and when someone confronts us with the idea that we may be wrong, we have in fact been confronted with the idea that we have wasted time, money, effort etc. The more we have invested, the more we have to lose; the more we have to lose the greater the fear.
I would argue that we act rationally in the defend of those false beliefs because we are acting in our best interest. Ironic, no?
Once the fear sets in, it becomes fight or flight. Perhaps flight may be expressed as the denial of an idea's existence and fight may be expressed as blatant opposition against an idea. If we choose to fight it becomes the more we have invested the less likely we are to yield.

Despereaux: A Rat Torture Tale
Guest blogger Julie Wolfson: Since when does a princess being tied up and dragged by a band of angry rats deserve a G rating?
On Saturday I walked up to a group of moms at a 5-year-old's pajama movie party. One mom looked very concerned. " My daughter was so scared we had to walk out." "Jeez, it looked like it was going to be a cute mouse movie." "My kids were confused. 'Mommy, was the main rat mean or nice?'"
What was all the fuss about? "The Tale of Despereaux."
For my family the "Desperaux" experience had been positive. My older daughter read the book in 3rd grade. Now 9 years old, she couldn't wait for the movie to come out. Our five-year-old daughter wanted to see it too, so off we went. They loved it. Though the story had some intense moments, the heroic little mouse saved the beautiful princess from the rats and the kingdom had soup again. We all walked out happy.
How would I have felt if my 5-year-old spent the whole film whimpering and cowering? These moms at the birthday party felt cheated. They thought the advertising campaign had sold them a sweet mouse movie. Their older children had gotten the impression that it was for little kids and didn't want to see it. Most of the people I talked to found it too dark and scary for their 4-7 year olds.
So what does a G rating mean? Not much. Parents still need to check kid film websites, like Kids in Mind for more details. On Slate Magazine, Emily Bazelon tells the tale of her frightened 5-year-old being traumatized by the film. She also recounts some of the history of the film rating system and what each one means. "...surely G doesn't reliably make good on the promise of "minimal violence" -- or at least not with any definition of violence that actually reflects what kids find disturbing."
After we finished talking about what one mom called the "mean Ratatouille movie," we turned to watch our little girls snuggled up in their pjs, eating popcorn, and watching a movie. For their daughter's birthday party, these parents had chosen the very G-rated "Tinkerbell." Well, unless you want to talk about the super short revealing fairies' dresses -- one mom called it "porn for preschoolers," but that's a whole other debate.
What a bunch of wimps.
My 3 1/2 year old sat through the whole movie and loved it. He has a bit of an obsession with being a "gentleman" so this movie played right into that!
My name is Christine Wheeler, I did see the movie and I liked it but I think maybe it should be viewed by older children. I want to share with you that I recently published a children's book for the age group 3-7 titled Bella's Marigold Cake that would not scare any child but only enlighten them in lessons about friendship, compassion, and forgiveness. Please check out my book at www.eloquentbooks.com/BellasMarigoldCake.html or just Google the words Bella's Marigold Cake and view information about me and my book. I hope you'll check it out! Respectfully, Christine Wheeler

The following is a portion of a conversation between Fox 9's Leah Beno and U.S. Sen. Al Franken:
Feb. 4, Target Chief Financial Officer John Mulligan will testify before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee What would you like to hear from him?
I want to hear what they have to say about this breach. We've had a string of these breaches.
There's a couple things I'd like to find out about their technology. There's this thing called EMV technology which is a smart chip that almost every industrialized country uses. In this country we have about one-quarter of the credit and debit card transactions but we have one-half the fraud. We're the target of hackers from overseas because of that.
I've written a letter to all the major credit and debit card people and to big banks that put them out to ask how fast they can get this technology.
This is very disturbing to people who have had their information breached.
I am cosponsor of a piece of legislation...this is a bill that would make it easier to prosecute hackers and that would give companies certain things they have to do when they store your data.
There's kind of a patchwork across the country. There's 46 different state laws on what you need to do when there's a breach, and this would resolve that and make one federal law about what companies need to do when your data is breached.
With Target being the center of this, is part of the plan on Feb. 4 to hold them accountable?
There's going to be a hearing in the Judiciary Committee and I believe we're going to be asking them a lot of questions

VANCOUVER -- The list of Toronto Maple Leaf injuries grew Saturday when centre Dave Bolland was taken to hospital for surgery after suffering a cut on his left leg.
On Monday, the team announced Bolland had undergone successful surgery in Vancouver "to repair a a severed tendon on the outside of his left ankle." and will be out indefinitely.
Bolland was hurt early in the second period of Toronto's 4-0 loss to the Vancouver Canucks when he was taken into the boards by Zack Kassian.
Kassian's skate appeared to hit the back of Bolland's leg. The 27-year-old from Mimico, Ont., instantly crumpled to the ice. He was attempting to get back on his feet when Kassian scored the game's second goal. Bolland had to be helped to the bench by teammates.
After the game, Toronto coach Randy Carlyle could offer few details but compared Bolland's injury to the one suffered last year by Erik Karlsson of the Ottawa Senators. Karlsson missed 10 weeks when his Achilles tendon was partially sliced while being checked into the boards by Matt Cooke of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
"He suffered a cut similar to the Karlsson injury," said Carlyle. "I don't know the severity or which tendon, but he did suffer a cut into that area."
Moments after Carlyle spoke to reporters Bolland hobbled out of the Toronto dressing room on crutches. He was loaded onto a stretcher to be taken to hospital.
"I haven't really saw it," Carlyle said of the play. "I know Kassian went into finish his check. I can't comment other than that."
Kassian said it was a clean hit.
"I haven't seen it again, or really looked," he said. "I just went in to finish my hit. I am not sure what even happened to him.
"I went in there hard to finish my hit, I don't know what happened but it was a clean hit. I know it was clean so no talking about that."
The Leafs are already without top centre Tyler Bozak and defenceman Mark Fraser. Goaltender James Reimer said Bolland's injury will hurt the team.
"Losing a guy like that, he's been real solid for us, probably one of our best players for the last couple of games," said Reimer, who faced 47 shots in the loss. "It's real tough to lose him but having said that, as a team we have to find a way to rally around him and play well for him and try to win one for him."
Bolland came to the Leafs this year in a trade from Chicago. In 15 games he has six goals and four assists.

Patended Fitting System
Fabulous Fit Dress Form System - Threads Magazine Gift Guide Editor's Pick, Dec 2011/Jan 2012
Ever wonder why a sleeve pulls, a side seam puckers, or why you can't move in your beautiful new jacket? You need Fabulous Fit®! Fabulous Fit®...the dress form fitting solution for all body shapes and sizes!
Our Fabulous Fit® Fitting System includes interchangeable life-like contoured pads and a cover (with industry grain lines) that allow women who wear the same size but are shaped differently, to customize each area of the bosom, waist, hips, butt, and thighs on the dress form. Now you can duplicate your fit model, mother, daughter, and clients using only one dress form.
Thirteen contoured pads (and 4 filler pads) address the shoulder area (wide and sloping), the bust, (higher or lower), side back (for a wider back), stomach, upper hips, thighs and back hips; duplicating curves, vertically and horizontally! Stretch covers hold all the pads securely in place.
And even change sizes up to three sizes!
The soft contoured pads adhere to the form under the stretch cover. As you pull the cover over the form, tuck the pads under the cover at the vertical and horizontal measurements. Then check the shape and measurement, try something of your fit model's (or your own), on the form and continue padding the next area. In addition to the soft contoured pads, there are filler pads that tuck under any of the contoured pads to further increase the measurement. Your form will have a life-like touch to work with and pin into. It's like a real person!
You will easily identify why your jacket pulls across the shoulder, and as you see the fabric falling over the curves of the body, you will also see the adjustments needed to change the seam, or where to add the dart, or the pocket. Even hemming is easy when the fabric falls over the natural curves of the body.
Choosing Your Fitting System Size
Patented Fitting System Target Measurements | Check your dress form basic measurements against the following measurement chart, and choose a size that you would like your dress form to be.
Thank you for the overwhelming response to our fitting system!

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Governor Cuomo has declared a state of emergency for all of New York State, effective immediately as a winter storm continues to bring heavy snow, ice, and freezing rain to communities in both the upstate and downstate regions.
"This is a significant winter storm impacting all regions of the state and we are taking all necessary steps to keep New Yorkers safe," Governor Cuomo said. "I have declared a state of emergency for all counties so that we can continue our effective and quick response in communities that have been hit the hardest. New Yorkers in affected regions should stay off the roads, check on their neighbors and loved ones, and stay inside their homes until the worst of the storm has passed."
Department of Transportation Commissioner Joan McDonald added that commuters should not be using I-84 until further notice, as crews continue to clear snow and ice from the roadway.
"The State Police will be monitoring Interstate 84 throughout New York State to ensure that vehicles are not on the road until the ban is lifted. Drivers across the State should exercise extreme caution if travel is absolutely necessary, and only use roadways that are open," said State Police Superintendent Joseph D'Amico.
Under a state of emergency, critical resources that are normally restricted to State use are mobilized to assist local governments and laws and regulations that would otherwise impede their rapid response are suspended.
The state has 1,789 plows, 359 loaders and 4,185 operators working the storm.
According to officials, the state has adequate salt supply for all state roads, but areas in New York City and on Long Island have reported shortages. The governor has directed the Department of Transportation and Thruway Authority to move surplus salt supplies from state stockpiles to New York City and Long Island localities in need. A total of 3,500 tons of road salt – about 130 truckloads – is being sent to those communities.
full vehicle ban is in effect on Interstate 84 and will remain in place until
further notice. Any vehicles found on the road before the ban has been lifted will
be ticketed.

Will your warranty be honored if maintenance is done by a shop that's not the dealership?
Absolutely. As long as you have records of routine maintenance (such as oil changes) and have not altered the vehicle with non-factory parts that could be blamed for causing problems (such as an aftermarket high-performance engine computer calibration or a suspension lowering kit), your warranty should remain in effect.

Marvel Universe: Colbert for President — Skrull Issue Delays Debate
After Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Joe Quesada announced that Stephen Colbert is still running for president in the Marvel Universe, we decided to follow up by contacting a reporter in that universe for updates on his campaign:
Skrulls' "Must-Flee TV" Stunt Puts Presidential Debate on Hold
Ken Ellis, DB Staff Reporter
It seems unthinkable even to write this, but there can no longer be any denying that the Skrulls are among us. Furthermore, judging from the individuals who this week simultaneously revealed themselves as the shape-shifting alien menace on our own broadcast waves, they may have been here for far longer than we believed.
Within minutes after multiple celebrities, public figures and television personalities declared that the Earth was now "part of the Skrull Empire," both local and national TV affiliates were flooded with thousands of calls. Concerned citizens throughout the United States nervously inquired if this had been some sort of publicity stunt or hoax, or if television airwaves had fallen victim to subversive terrorist activity.
National networks, perhaps trying to protect themselves from potential litigation, quickly claimed that the source of the problem had not emanated from their end. Sources within confirmed that the Federal Communications Commission was just as quick to state its "unequivocal support" of the networks in this instance, though it did not rule out that the matter would be "thoroughly investigated" in the days ahead.
Unfortunately, this incident has indefinitely put on hold what was shaping up to be a key debate between the presidential candidates. Stephen Colbert had invited his opponents to participate in a nationally televised debate in Roanoke, Va., this weekend. However, as a result of the Skrulls infiltrating the airwaves, all participants have agreed to push the debate back several weeks.
"It's unfortunate, but it's the right move," said Colbert's campaign strategist, David Seperson. "At this time, Mr. Colbert's primary concern is that of a very frightened nation. It was mutually agreed upon among all the hopefuls to reschedule the debate in a week or two, when they could feel more comfortable about re-focusing their political energies back on national matters of interest again."

Quitte le Pouvoir (WADE, GET OUT!) is a documentary film (2014 | 36′) with subtle animations. When a group of young rappers from Dakar, Senegal, join forces through their music to create a revolt, the presidential elections get a surprising turn. By using animations over the live action footage, the dark atmosphere of the tension hanging over the city is subtly highlighted.
Aida Grovestins (director, producer), Machteld Aardse (drawings for animations, producer), Hanneke van der Linden (animations), Cheikh Diarra (title song, narrator), Julien Grossmann (music), Allard Detiger (montage), Aart Jan van der Linden (pre-montage)
In this film we follow young artists from rap activist movement Y'en a Marre ('We're Fed Up') from Dakar's inner city. Frustrated with the sitting Senegalese president clinging to power, they bring an unprecedented popular rebellion to the streets.
Filmed over the course of three months, the documentary portrays the growing discontent among Senegal's youth, fed up with the cynicism of their parents. The film shows the emotional and at times violent journey of the rappers, as they are propelled to lead a popular protest. The raw charcoal drawings of birds, at times leaving dark streaks over the footage, represent the threat the regime exercises.
As the movement gains massive popular support, the new leaders of the youth movement are provoked by police forces and must choose between fighting back or sticking to their peaceful stance, struggling between impulse and thoughtfulness. They learn what it means to resist fear as they struggle to control the angry masses. This rebellion propels our four protagonists into adulthood.
This is a close up portrait of what the future African Spring may look like. "Wade, get out" is where 1995 french film 'La Haine' meets the Arab Spring. Y'en a marre's success and stress on non-violence inspired other young people in West Africa to create comparable pacifist, civil protest movements. All to avoid the violent scenario of the Arab Spring.
Crowdfunded and supported by Amsterdams Fonds for the Arts (AFK), Webster University Leiden / St.Louis USA. Thanks to foremost film; Thanks to St. DOEN for inviting the rappers for the premiere to the Netherlands

VANTAA, Finland -- It was an early wakeup call for Canada's world junior team.
Undisciplined and out of sorts, the Canadians dropped an exhibition game to Finland 3-2 on Thursday. Two of the Finnish goals were scored with a 5-on-3 power play during a game that saw Canada assessed nine minor penalties in total.
"I think the challenge for us obviously is coming together as a team," said Canadian coach Steve Spott. "It's our first game. But ultimately I think discipline is the subplot here tonight, where we have to get used to the standard of officiating and deal with our discipline a lot smarter than we did tonight."
Miro Aaltonen scored the winning goal 7:16 into the third period. Markus Granlund and Ville Jarvelainen had the power-play markers earlier in the game.
Griffin Reinhart and Mark Scheifele replied for Canada with goals 36 seconds apart in the second period while Malcolm Subban finished with 19 saves.
Canada was outshot 22-15 overall and Spott expects to see a better offensive effort when his team faces Sweden in another exhibition game on Saturday.
"I think we've got to create more offence, but that comes from staying out of the penalty box," he said. "That to me is going to be our challenge here. We turned over too many pucks, took penalties and that took away from our 5-on-5 ability to create offence."
Canada played without forward Jonathan Huberdeau, who served the final game of a four-game suspension for abusing an official in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
The team also lost forward Brett Ritchie to an upper-body injury after an awkward collision with an opponent midway through the game. He was held out as a precaution and the injury isn't considered serious.
After facing Sweden over the weekend, Canada will travel to Ufa, Russia for the world junior hockey championship. It plays its first game there on Dec. 26 against Germany.
"You want to make sure when you hit the 26th that your team is where you need it to be," said Spott. "It's a matter of getting better every day and learning what it's like to play over here and the standard (of officiating) and the type of game that these teams play."

Electronic Arts, one of the biggest names in the gaming industry announced earlier today that it was laying off more employees. The exact head count has not been released but this is not the first time this year that EA has been forced to lay off workers.
Back in April EA laid off approximately 900 employees due to their "higher than projected" operating costs. At the same time the company announced that the cost of restructuring was going to be 16 million dollars, nothing to scoff at.
Just days after the April layoffs the Consumerist granted "The Worst Company of the Year Award" to EA. This is the second year in a row EA has received this award. The company did not get this less than glamorous award solely based on the recent layoffs. There were many other contributing factors including a server complication with their popular game The Sims which left consumers without access to the game for days on end.
Source: Cover Dude
A high ranking company official has also publicly reported that by the end of the fiscal year EA has plans for more layoffs. The restructuring will reduce the overall workforce of the company by approximately 10%.
Source: Bachelor.ie
I'm sure we have all played EA games at one point and to see such a great company go through such dramatic obstacles is a bit disheartening. What do you guys think of the recent EA layoffs? Do they seem fair? Give me your perspective in the comments section below.

It's apple picking season and if you're like me, you end up with way more apples than you could ever hope to eat or bake with. So this year, when my family picked, I put a cap on the number of bushels we could bring home and I am determined not to let these babies go to waste. I've decided the best way to do that is to add to my apple dessert arsenal.
So while I'm known for my killer apple pie, I'm going to go out on an apple tree limb, and I've decided that apple crisp is the way to go. It's yummy -- and easy (no pie crusts to agonize over and agonize, I do). I just love me a dessert that can be a jumbled mess on purpose and still be delicious.
Here are 5 apple crisp recipes that look pretty amazing. I think I'll start with the first one and eat bake my way down.

Editors' reviewThis application's excellent graphics help turn a relatively standard shooting game into an impressive, action-packed option. In AirStrike II, you must use your fully armed helicopter to destroy your foes and successfully complete a number of missions. Though blowing other aircraft to smithereens is your primary goal, you also must keep a sharp eye out for various bonuses that can repair your helicopter or give you more powerful weapons. In our opinion, this game's 3D graphics--especially the explosions--are top-notch, and the sound effects and theme music are right on the money. Learning to control your aircraft, while using your weapons, takes a while to perfect, but you can change the keyboard layout if you have a better idea. You also can choose from several missions, disable the audio, select the difficulty level, and change the camera angle. Our only gripe was we thought the one-hour trial period was a bit parsimonious. Nevertheless, all fans of shooting games should at least take AirStrike II for a test flight.
Publisher's Description
AirStrike II is a rough, cruel, and intense helicopter 3D action game that makes you fly and fight over desert, water and industrial areas. 100+ land, air and water enemy units will make your life worse then hell. There are five different landscape types and the terramorphing feature. If you pass all seventeen levels (plus 3 bonus levels) and kill all enemy bosses, please tell us how you did it.
Version 2.5 includes Microsoft Vista compatibility, DirectX render has been added, some minor bugs has been fixed, and memory optimization.

AL East Bias: Can Jacoby Ellsbury Resurrect the Red Sox?
It's time once again for our bi-weekly jaunt around the American League East.
New York Yankees
The Yankees have opened up a healthy seven game lead in the American League East. The loss of lefty Andy Pettitte to a fractured leg could lead New York onto the trade market for a veteran starter. They'll likely bump into the Orioles and Red Sox at said market.
While the Yankees have experience an on field surge most of the recent news surrounding the club has involved off field issues. Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson drew the ire of club officials and some fellow HOFers when he stated in a recent interview that there was a "cloud" over Alex Rodriguez's accomplishment due to his PED admissions and that some current Hall of Famers are undeserving of the honor. I've never been a big fan of Mr. October but the fact that he's getting flack for stating an obvious fact about A-Rod and questioning the HOF worthiness of Bert Blyleven, who was on the ballot for 14 years before being elected, is laughable. Don't back down Reggie. There's no need to apologize.

Is Happiness a conservative, status-quo concept?
"Money can't buy happiness". Many of us think this statement is more or less true. But what are the broader implications of this statement? After all, if "the pursuit of happiness" is delayed by acquiring wealth, than why should the government be promoting initiatives to raise the economic tide through assistance to business OR welfare policies? In other words, is the pursuit of Happiness a fundamentally conservative, status-quo idea? An interesting article on this subject is posted below - but what do you think?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Cos MoJan 16 2013: I believe "Money can't buy happiness" is neither universally true, nor false. It eventually comes down to what it takes for one person to be happy, or at least be in a state that he/she defines as happiness. If one's idea of happiness is cruising the Mediterranean on his private yacht with his family for 3 months a year, not only that money CAN buy happiness, but without it, (that particular) happiness is out of reach. If another's state of happiness greatly relates to his glory days as a football player, for instance, at 60, no money can buy that happy time back.
In any case, for the great majority of people, happiness cannot possibly come from poverty. So, as Fritzie R also said, considering the pyramid of human needs, I believe that only those who managed to climb (quite) a few steps, and reached a certain degree of financial comfort, can stop and ponder if EXTRA money is necessary and apt to buy FURTHER happiness. I very much doubt that one living in cold, famine and sickness out of sheer poverty will ever concur that "Money can't buy happiness".
Regarding the promotion of welfare, I think that, based on the above, for economical, educational, intellectual, emotional (and other) causes, the great majority of people are more likely to experience happiness (even if only as a projection) while in a state of prosperity, rather than poverty.
Andrea F below is also right, I believe. The exhaustive explanation of the why? should not matter too much, if at all. It is a psychological feature meant to ensure a state of equilibrium, even if fragile and dynamic most of the time. Accepting a state of happiness for what it is may much better serve the purpose of the happiness, than trying to explain it.
I do not have enough chars left for the main question :) I do believe, however, it is not rightly asked. Conservative and status quo are not synonyms here, as implied by the question. So, conservative - yes. Status-quo - no. Or so I think, at first glance.

text: What is Bernalamo? Quite honestly, I have no idea. Regardless, they live in Bernal, they seem like nice young men, and they have a SkeeBall game in their kitchen (!!), so they are obviously gentlemen of distinction and taste. In this episode, we watch them create the world's largest strawberry pancake of 2011 that uses no flax seed and only organic egg. The competition in this category is intense, and the suspense is gripping, but as you'll see — Bernalio delivers. Whatever it is.
