Is there a new bra intervention thread somewhere?(1000 Posts)
All of the other ones are closed now and I still need some help!
There is now . How can we help?
The Bra Campaign thread is still active too.
I hope so. I have just been intervened and I wanted to go back and say it is a bloody miracle! I originally came out at 30F which I felt a bit about and it was a bit big. But have just been to m&s and tried on everything with a 30 band until I found my size (dd.).
'Tis marvellous. No roaming band, all of the boob contained (the scooping, the scooping!), just proper support. I am converted. I may start performing interventions of my own.
Excellent news Daffy. Be prepared to go up in the cup at some point in the future if you continue to scoop!
Oh - does the side boob migrate back to front boob?
Ps - poor dh - I keep flashing him, so delighted am I. Not sure he knows what to make of it.
It can do if the back isn't tight enough. It's sort of like re-training it!
I'm sure he'll survive
Thanks! Much prefer the idea of front boob anyway x
Ooh, good thanks! I haven't had the miracle moment I'm afraid, as others have, and I'm feeling a bit disheartened...
Was originally wearing a 38C. Been intervened as a 34FF. Was vvvvvvv skeptical, but ordered several in a 34FF and several in a 36F. The 36F was too big but the 34 felt very tight. I went ahead and wore one of the 34FF (Panache Support, I'm still bf) and as I got used to it being tight, I loved it. Fairly pert boobies, but still quite bouncy which I noticed when running downstairs , so not as supported as I thoguht they would be. Look a million times better.
Today I went for a Curvy Kate underwired and man, it is uncomfortable. The wires re digging into my cleavage and my breathing feels restricted. I have to say it has got better as the day has gone one, but I'd hesitate to where it again. My questions are do Curvy Kates generally come up smaller? Are some people just not suited to wires? Are non-wired just as supportive as underwired? Or is this a size/fit issue?
Thank you so much in advance, I really want to get this right! It feels important for some reason!!
I think the 'miracle moment' can be elusive! I am forever trying new bras in diferent styles and brands.
Curvy Kate usually comes up large in the band and tight in the cup. Have you tested the band by putting it on back to front? If it feels ok like that but v tight round the right way, then it's probably a cup issue.
Most people can wear wires as long as they are in the right size and style/cut of bra. IMHO I don't think non-wired are anywhere as supportive especially for those of us who need that 'lift'!
I do think I need that lift - years of breast-feeding have taken their toll!
I have tried it back to front and it is tight both ways round. The cup gapes slightly when right way round, so don't think the cup is too small. I am surprised you say that CK is usually large in the band, it feels so much tighter than the Panache. So if the wires are digging in I should go up a band (36) which would make the cup an...???
So I guess it will always be a trial and error thing? That's kind of a shame. Thank goodness for brastop.com's free returns!
Where abouts are the wires digging in?
ALl the CK bras I've tried are large in the back. The cup gaping doesn't necessarily meant that it's too big. It could a shape issue. Which bra is it?
I think SF is right - you will not get that amazing uplift in wire-free unfortunately. I would say CK quite often run small in the cup - sometime by a couple of cups. It could be that the cup is too small and distorting the way the back feels.
Hey ladies, just letting you know, at the moment brastop have a sale on 5 styles that's are buyers' favourites and they're all £15.
I would miss so many of their offers if I didn't have them flash their stuff on my facebook.
Sorrell - if Im 34 under and 45 over, what cup size do I try? TIA
NeverBeenToMe - try a 34H
The wires are digging in in between my boobs, and also underneath, around where they start curving upwards. It is a CK Emily and it is beautiful! But it is the lace at the top that is very loose. What shape would be better to prevent this?
I really don't think the cup is too small, I mean it's baggy at the top!
I'm confused and losing heart again
Loving this.
I was in M&S today - having a revelation - 34 DD/E instead of 38B - and was very tempted to heckle the fitter in the next door changing room.
I have a question though. Imagine where the strap attaches to the top of the bra cup. Then imagine 2-3 inches of cup running down from that place in front of the armpit. That bit of my skin is red and sore.
Please do you know why and what I should do about it?
LetsFace - the rubbing in front of the arm is quite common when you first change bra size. It can be that you need a bra which is cut lower under the arm but it's also quite likely that you need a bit of time to get used to it. The edges of your too small cups will have been in a different place so it's those bits of skin that will have been used to it. It gets better
Lookout - I could never get the Emily to work for me. Even when I had the right size it just sort of sat on me.
Hellooooo everyone!
Well, I was still in need of some 'tweaking' - went from a 38D to 36G - but still wasn't right, so went to Bravissimo last week. I tried lots of 34's as my 36's are new and on the tightest hook - the one the fitter recommend was the Andorra full cup - she was right in that it suited my shape PERFECTLY and gave me a great shape - and in a 34GG felt wonderful - I really like the feel of the 3 hooks and wider back. Had lkess back fat as well. Tried lotsincluding the Cleo Juna, and the Rebecca t shirt bra, but the 34's were too tight and the shape all wrong.
So I bought the Andorra, and ordered another one to be delivered. Wore it that pm, it was wonderful. Took the label off (yes, I know) wore it all day yesterday, and the PAIN under my arms from the wires - it has broken the skin on one side and made it bleed. I am so pissed off - it cost £29 and now I can't return it as no label and blood on it.
So, what to do? I am hoping that it is like when the heels rub on a pair of shoes, and once it heals it will be fine. I have to get it sorted before the other one arrives next week so I know whether or not to keep the other one on order.
I must have over £150 worth of bras in the drawer from the last couple of months, all of which are wrong, I can't keep making mistakes.
But the lady in Bravissimo was so patient with me - I told her I knew what size and which bra I wanted to try, then we talked for ages - I mentioned this thread but she hadn't heard of it. She must of thought she had a right one here, as I was so definite in what I wanted! We talked shape - I now know that the Alana won't suit me, neither does the Daisy Chain - of which I have just got one so another expensive mistake there. The only one that will suit me she says is the Andorra, but what if I can't wear it because of the high wires? I must have tried on 10/12 bras, and I could see that she was right about the Andorra, I loved it.
i am so fed up of 'bras turning bad'.
Sorry, have gone on a bit there, but am seriously considering going back to my old 38d's because at least they don't hurt.
Calling bra-seekers in Malaysia, came across this shop today. One happy 32F wearer, not 32DD!
Silverstar if it was fitted they will take it back even if it's been worn, trust me give the store a phone and explain. Hopefully marriednotdead will be along later as she is the guru on exact bra models but Panache as a rule are high under the arm.
Thanks SC. I will try it again in a day or so when my poor skin has healed, and see if it has toughened up.
i love the bra and want it to work.
Thanks Statistically but if it starts to draw blood, it's going in the bin
No, drawing blood is definitely not right (hence suggesting taking it back!) - but I think it seems to be pretty common to get slight soreness/redness where you described with a big bra size change. Imagine you'd only ever worn baggy jeans two sizes too big and suddenly bought a pair of skinnies in the right size. They'd probably feel damn weird!
Ok, just called the store, and spoke to a lovely lady who confirmed that I could pop back in or send it back for a full refund, with a covering letter. Statistically you were right as usual, thank you.
She recommend I try the 'Darling heart' bra - which I am not to keen on to be honest, and the 'Satine' as they come up lower under the arm.
More returns - I am getting quite pally with the lady in my local post office!

On February 13, 1981, state Senator Peter von Reichbauer triggers an historic shift in senate leadership when he changes his party affiliation from Democratic to Republican in the middle of the legislative session. Von Reichbauer's dramatic switch gives the Republicans control of the state Senate for the first time since 1955, and that in turn elevates Senate Republican leader Jeannette Hayner (1919-2010) of Walla Walla to the post of Majority Leader, the first woman to hold the position. Hayner quickly proves her skills as a legislative leader, becoming one of the most powerful and effective legislators in state history.
Jeannette Hayner
Jeannette Hayner grew up in Oregon and graduated from the University of Oregon Law School as one of only two women in her class. She married law-school classmate H. H. "Dutch" Hayner and worked as an attorney for the Bonneville Power Administration while he served in World War II. The couple settled in Walla Walla and Jeannette Hayner got involved in politics and civic life while raising their three children. She worked on campaigns, served on the school board, and was active in the Republican party. In 1972, she defeated three other Republicans in the primary and was elected to an open state House of Representatives seat in the 16th District. After she was re-elected to the House in 1974, Republican leaders encouraged her to run for the 16th District's state Senate seat in 1976. She won and held the seat until her retirement in 1992.
Hayner played an important leadership role even during her first four-year term in the Senate. She joined a group of fellow Republican senators who were frustrated that the party had been a minority in the Senate for over two decades and felt that the existing Republican leadership was not making serious efforts to regain the majority. When the group staged a legislative "coup" against the current leaders at the end of the 1979 session, Hayner, still in her freshman term, became the new Senate Minority Leader and the first woman to lead a party caucus in the Washington State Legislature.
The new Senate Republican leadership's effort to win a majority was greatly aided in the 1980 election by the nationwide Republican landslide headed by Ronald Reagan (1911-2004) and by the arrest and eventual conviction of two prominent Democratic legislators, House co-Speaker John Bagnariol (ca. 1932-2009) and Senate Majority Leader Gordon L. Walgren, on racketeering charges. Nevertheless, the effort came up one seat short and the Democrats clung to a narrow 25-to-24 majority in the state Senate when the 1981 legislative session opened in January.
Peter von Reichbauer
Unfortunately for the Democrats, their one-vote majority included the 30th District seat held by Peter von Reichbauer of Vashon Island since 1973. Considered a volatile personality by some fellow legislators, von Reichbauer feuded with Democratic Senate leaders from the start of the session. In an oral history interview long after her retirement, Hayner recalled that even before the session opened she had suggested a switch to von Reichbauer, telling him "Peter, you're really a Republican at heart, and I think you'd be much happier in our caucus" (Jeannette Hayner). However, von Reichbauer responded non-committally and did not give her any advance notice of his decision.
Von Reichbauer first revealed his intention to join the Republicans on Thursday, February 12, 1981, five weeks into the legislative session. He made the switch official at a tumultuous news conference in a crowded Senate hearing room the following morning, Friday the 13th. The now-former Democrat said it was not he but the party that had changed, becoming "hostage to a narrower base than when I joined it (in 1973)" (Larsen, "Democrats Lose Control...")
The sudden switch produced dismay and celebration. Von Reichbauer was not the first legislator to change party affiliation, but he was the first and only (as of 2009) one who gave the majority to a different party by doing so. Dismayed Democrats denounced von Reichbauer and searched, unsuccessfully, for ways to challenge his defection. Once-powerful committee chairmen lost their posts and some committee staff employed by the Democrats were let go as the Republicans reorganized the Senate.
Majority Leader
Naturally Republicans celebrated von Reichbauer, whose decision gave them the key 25th vote and turned Hayner from Minority to Majority Leader. Hayner welcomed von Reichbauer as a "valuable member" of her caucus (Larsen, "Legislature Feels ..."). Hayner recalled in her oral history that some Republicans were skeptical of von Reichbauer and his motives but said "he proved to be very helpful to us and very cooperative" (Jeannette Hayner).
Because it had been so long since the Republicans held the majority, and the task of reorganizing the entire Senate structure in the middle of the session to reflect the new majority was unprecedented, Hayner turned to legislative leaders from other states for advice. The new Majority Leader had ample opportunity to demonstrate her leadership ability as she managed a smooth transition and then presided over a session facing the worst budget crisis in years. Hayner also led the Senate through the 1982 session, again facing budget difficulties.
In the 1982 election, the Democrats took control of the state Senate and Hayner returned to being Minority Leader. However, in 1987 Republican Linda A. Smith of Vancouver won an off-year election for the 18th District seat vacated when the Democratic incumbent resigned to become Chief Clerk of the state House of Representatives, and the Republicans once again had a 25-to-24 edge in the Senate. Hayner returned to the Majority Leader position and led the Senate through the 1992 session.
Slim Margin, Firm Control
During those five years, through two more elections, the Republicans held the majority by only a single seat and it was a testament to Hayner's leadership that she kept 25 disparate caucus members with often-divergent views tightly disciplined and united. That unity allowed the slim Senate majority to stand up to the Democratic controlled House of Representatives and popular Democratic governor Booth Gardner (b. 1936) and made Hayner one of the most powerful politicians in the state. For the entire time that Hayner served as Majority Leader, von Reichbauer was one of the 25 votes that gave the Republicans their one-vote majority. After his switch on February 13, 1981, he was re-elected three more times to the Senate as a Republican. In 1993 he was elected as a Republican to the King County Council where in 2009 he continues to serve.
Hayner did not run for re-election in 1992, when she was 73 years old. By then, in addition to her historic firsts, she had served as Republican leader (both minority and majority) longer than any other party caucus leader in the history of the legislature.

Brie Larson Recalls the Marvel Actors' Reactions to Her 'Captain Marvel' Casting Reveal
Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, and Samuel L. Jackson pose for photos at SiriusXM studios for their movie Kong: Skull Island on Monday (March 6) in New York City.
The trio star in the film, in theaters this Friday!
Recently, Brie spoke with Uproxx about her being announced as Captain Marvel and how it was such a huge moment that no one knew about.
"You know, to be honest, I just plead ignorance in those cases because I see announcements for people playing characters all the time and I just don't really think about 'what the world's reaction is.' I didn't even have social media until recently. So it wasn't until I was backstage in Hall H, and it was like, all of those actors from all the movies were there. And I was super starstruck and talking with all of them. And then all of them were like, 'Why are you here? Are you in the panel next, after us?' I was like, 'Oh, no, I'm going to be part of this now.' And they were like, 'What?' No one knew," Brie said.
FYI: Brie is wearing a Carven dress and Tod's shoes.

There are some types of plants that are grown indoors nowadays and this is because of advancement in the level of the technology used. Grow lights are very important lights that contain or emit light beams and these beams of light are suitable for the growth of different plants. Plants can be grown indoors and others grown in the fields and the main factors necessitating this is because of the conditions of growth that are necessary for this plants and due to lack of enough space.
The grow lights are used for those plants that are grown indoors because of lack of light from the sun. They allow us to grow anything, from tropical fruit, to cacti, to tea plants.These lights comprises of UV rays and electromagnetic spectrum that are very important for photosynthesis to take place. When buying these plant light bulbs you need to be very careful so that so you can buy the right ones and this is because they produce various beams of light that are suited for the growth of different plants.
Plants convert the chemical energy from the grow lights in order to feed themselves. This energy produces fuel that is used to support the life of the plant and its survival. When winter time arrives most plants find it hard to grow well and this makes them to breathe their last because they are not getting sufficient light from the sun. This on the other hand may hinder the rate of growth of plants. Most people grow plants indoor during winter so that they can easily supply them with sufficient LED grow lights for their growth. Some people may wonder how these grow lights work like the sun but they do and do you know how? They produce beams of light with a spectrum that is almost the same as that of the sun. Sometimes they even work better than the sun because there are some that produce a tailored spectrum that is important for the growth of specific plants. Below are some of the key advantages of using the full spectrum LED grow lights:
Are cost effective
There is no need to worry when going for the LED grow lights in the market because they are sold at affordable prices. If you need to know more you can checkout our top article here. Another very important thing that makes them cost effective is because they are energy efficient and therefore you will not be required to strain in order to have enough energy for your plants.
They are energy efficient
When you go to the market to look for the best grow lights to buy ensure that you buy those grow lights that are energy efficient. LED grow lights are among the lights that you should consider purchasing because they are much brighter and consume energy. In the end click this link: http://www.growweedeasy.com/increase-yields-indoors here for more to know. LED lights are also better in terms of the light that they produce as compared to CFLs, MHs and HIDs.
Easy to control the amount of lights produced.
There is a very big difference between the light produced by the grow lights and that which is natural from the sun. The grow lights for indoor plants can be controlled and this is very beneficial to the gardener.

Full-time undergraduate (3 years)
UCAS code: L300Apply via UCAS
Look beneath the surface of everyday life. Discover the complexity of modern societies and how they have developed, while gaining critical and analytical skills that will impress your future employers.
My three years in the Sociology department were fantastic, owing to the brilliant support my fellow classmates and I were given."
This course lets you look beneath the surface of the everyday life most people take for granted.
By studying the work of classical sociologists, such as Weber and Marx, as well as contemporary issues like the risk society and the 'spectre of individualism', you'll gain an understanding of why people live, work and interact in the ways that they do.
You'll also look at the complex social lives created by our increasingly global daily communications, and learn how these lives have come about and what they might mean for the future.
As well as the fundamentals of sociology, our modules will give you the chance to explore your own areas of interest, such as the media, crime, social control, sport or nature and society.
With opportunities to conduct your own community or workplace research, you'll also gain valuable practical experience, as well as insights into different sociological methods and approaches to social issues.
Course leader: James Rosbrook-Thompson
The modules on my degree have enabled me to confidently choose my career path with a Masters in Social Work and I couldn't be happier
By studying Sociology you'll learn to think independently and creatively, and question 'common sense' assumptions about the way the world works. These critical and analytical skills are in demand from many employers.
Our past students now enjoy careers in journalism and the media, business administration and management, health management, the civil service, teaching, social care, social research, the police, prison and probation services.
With specialist modules in years 2 and 3, you'll be able to fine-tune your degree to suit your preferred career. If you take our Preparing for Work module, you'll even be put on a work-placement and receive specialist advice for your career in social science.
Or you might enjoy your course so much that you decide to apply for our MA Sociology.
For a full breakdown of module options and credits, please view the module structure.
You'll show your progress through a combination of exams, essays, individual and group presentations, book reviews, project work and personal portfolio production, as well as your final-year Major Project.
The Department of Humanities and Social Sciences is an academic community of nearly 800 students and teaching staff. Our students are supported by leading practitioners, so you'll always have access to the latest theoretical and practical knowledge, as well as invaluable career advice. Subjects in the Humanities and Social Sciences lead to work in many roles you might not have considered, maybe as a politician, chief executive – or even an inventor.
We organise many activities to help our students prepare for their future, like work placements, study abroad opportunities, talks by acclaimed guest speakers, and research conferences.
We're part of the Faculty of Arts, Law and Social Sciences, a hub of creative and cultural innovation whose groundbreaking research has real social impact.
Our campus is close to the centre of Cambridge, often described as the perfect student city.
You'll have the chance to spend a semester at Umeå University in Sweden, or the University of New Brunswick in Canada, broadening your experience to make you stand out to future employers.
Specialist facilities
In our campus library, you'll have access to an expanding collection of social science books and digital resources, as well as many computer rooms for group or private study.

TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have released underachieving wide receiver Dexter Jackson.
Jackson was a second-round draft pick out of Appalachian State in 2008. He appeared in the first seven games of last season, primarily as a kick returner.
The 23-year-old returned 20 punts and 14 kickoffs with limited success before losing the kick return job to undrafted free agent Clifton Smith. Smith went on become a Pro Bowl selection, while Jackson did not get into a game again.
The Bucs announced the move before practice Monday. Jackson didn't have any receptions as a rookie and has been slowed this preseason by an ankle injury.

Last fall, supporters of the Next Generation I/O (NGIO) and the Future I/O (FIO) specifications agreed that one I/O standard will better serve the industry—and be more profitable—than competing standards. The InfiniBand Trade Association (IBTA) is developing InfiniBand—a switched-fabric I/O standard that in a few years might make PCI as obsolete as ISA. The IBTA plans to release the standard's initial version this year, with InfiniBand-based products appearing in 2001. (For more information about the IBTA, visit http://www .infinibandta.com/.)
InfiniBand is to PC I/O slots as Gigabit switches are to a 10Base-T hub. Bus architectures are inherently limited, suffering from contention, poor fault isolation, and design limitations that trade speed for distance. Whereas PCI-X will let a single-connector bus operate at a maximum speed of 1066MBps, InfiniBand will handle multiple-switched connections at speeds as high as 30Gbps full duplex. (For more information about PCI-X, see The Lab Guys, "The Chase Is On," August 2000.) And InfiniBand has more than raw speed going for it.
To get an idea of what InfiniBand will do, combine the flexibility of switched-fabric fibre channels, the convenience of PCI slots, and the device-addressing standard of IP version 6 (IPv6). The result will be one I/O interconnect technology for local device attachments ranging from plug-in modules (à la PCI) to extended fiber optic links as long as several kilometers (à la fibre channel).
Take a look at the standard's basic specifications. InfiniBand devices will plug in to an InfiniBand bay (similar to a PCI card plugging in to a PCI slot) or connect by cable to the host computer (a Host Channel Adapter—HCA—in the server will connect to a Target Channel Adapter— TCA—in the device). A 4-wire copper-cable-connected InfiniBand link will operate at distances as long as 17 meters at a speed of 2.5Gbps full duplex—a send/receive bandwidth of 5Gbps. The InfiniBand standard also defines higher-speed 16-wire and 48-wire duplex links for one-way transfer rates of 10Gbps and 30Gbps, respectively. InfiniBand will also support fiber-optic cable. A single-fiber pair will operate at distances as long as 100 meters at a speed of up to 30Gbps full duplex. Single-mode fiber extenders might support distances of several kilometers.
The IBTA likes to call InfiniBand an intelligent channel, comparing it to the IBM System 390's (S/390's) I/O subsystem's intelligent channels. Whereas PCI uses a memory-mapped, load/store data model, InfiniBand will use a networked, send/receive model. The HCA and TCA, rather than the CPU, will monitor I/O. Each HCA and TCA will be addressable, and InfiniBand's Global Route Header will include both the source (i.e., HCA) and destination (i.e., TCA) address, making InfiniBand I/O traffic inherently routable.
InfiniBand will let you move all I/O devices off the server. The IBTA envisions that InfiniBand-equipped Internet routers will connect directly to the switched fabric of the local InfiniBand network, collapsing into one fat pipe the electronics that local data I/O and traditional IP traffic need.
InfiniBand implementations will likely debut in high-end server and storage networks, which can best absorb the initial costs. Cascading InfiniBand switches will be the heart of the I/O network. Because InfiniBand will provide one channel through which all server I/O can flow, InfiniBand will simplify server-farm cabling and help server-rack densities fall below 0.5U (0.875") per CPU. Predefined InfiniBand switch zones will automatically give each server access to storage LUNs and other necessary devices—without cabling. As InfiniBand electronics-design expertise increases and chipmakers develop more sophisticated and specialized silicon, prices for InfiniBand-based equipment will drop and eventually make PCI-free computers an economical choice.

Range DescriptionSterna acuticauda is known from southern China (previously regular in Yunnan, now very rare), Pakistan (fairly common in north Sind and Punjab), India (widespread and locally fairly common, but some evidence for localised declines), Nepal (once locally fairly common, declining since the early 1990s at least, and judged to be a rare and very local visitor in the lowlands, with a maximum population of 20 estimated in 2011 [C. Inskipp and H. S. Baral in litt. 2011]), Bangladesh (previously common, now a local breeder; the provenance of some recent records has been questioned [P. Thompson in litt. 2011]), Myanmar (previously abundant, now declining rapidly and a scarce to uncommon resident, with some surveys since 2002 failing to record the species at all [J. C. Eames in litt. 2012]), Thailand (formerly resident in the north-west, now very rare and probably extinct as breeding species), Laos (previously bred in large numbers along the Mekong channel, now very rarely recorded), Cambodia (in early 1960s the species was apparently fairly common along the Mekong; the last breeding record was of just two pairs in 2003 [C. Poole in litt. 2003], and it is now considered probably extinct there [Goes et al. 2010]) and Vietnam (formerly occurred regularly in Cochinchina, and occasionally in Annam, but now probably extinct). There has been a precipitous decline in South-East Asia and it is now almost extinct in the region. Despite its large range, the species may now number fewer, perhaps significantly fewer, than 10,000 mature individuals (Perennou et al. 1994, S. Mahood in litt. 2012).

To test the automotive neutral safety switch on your car, examine the wiring of the switch, disconnect the switch and the wiring connector, and bring the vehicle's gear into reverse. Then, check if power is supplied to the wiring harness using a test light.
Begin testing the automotive neutral safety switch on your car by locating the switch in the vehicle using the service manual. The switch, which looks like a cigarette lighter, is normally situated close to the shift mechanism. If the car is of the column-shift type, look for the switch on the transmission's side and close to the gear shifter.
Check if the wires of the switch are connected to the starter solenoid. Refer to the switch's wiring schematic detailed in the service manual, and disconnect the switch and its wiring connector.
Now, insert the key in the vehicle's ignition, and set the gear to reverse. Keep the engine switched off. Connect a test light of 12 volts to the wiring harness. If the bulb of the light gets illuminated, it shows that the switch's circuit is functional. In such a case, reconnect the switch and the wiring connector.
If the test light's bulb does not light up, look for loose connections or damaged wiring. Repair any findings, and test the switch again. If power is not present, replace the existing switch.

ROCHESTER, Minn. — Motorists using two Rochester Highway 52 interchanges on Sunday, Aug. 27 will find traffic restrictions at 19th Street Northwest and Second Street Southwest as bridge joint repair and crack sealing work takes place, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
Traffic delays are likely for motorists using the ramps or crossing over Hwy 52 at the two interchanges. Single lane traffic in both directions will be used as crews perform maintenance work to repair bridge joints and seal cracks on the driving surface. The work is expected to last most of the day. To avoid delays, motorists should choose alternate routes.
If weather is not conducive for the work on Sunday, Aug. 23, crews will try again on Sunday, Sept. 10.
MnDOT urges motorists to always be attentive, drive with caution, slow down in work zones and never enter a road blocked with barriers or cones.

This should take about 10 minutes. Add a little more oil to the pan and add the onions and garlic and cook for approximately 5 minutes until they are soft but not brown.Put the prepared lamb in the pan with the onion and garlic. Stir in the apricots, raisins, chopped tomatoes, stock, honey, almonds and orange juice and zest. Bring to simmering point then reduce the heat. Cover and cook gently on the hob or in the oven until the lamb is really tender. Sprinkle with fresh mint and coriander and serve with couscous and a green salad.

While using SSL, I've tried ports 465 and 587 and my outgoing mailserver goes offline as soon as I try to send mail from MacOSX Mail. I configured the client by hand exactly the way cPanel indicated (with port 465) and then tried port 587 with the same disappointing results. Incoming mail from my cPanel server works just fine with the client configured as an IMAP account (SSL/port 993). cPanel says that "Authentication is required for IMAP, POP3, and SMTP"; however, I have five different selections for authentication. I've tried "Password" and "TLS client Certificate" both with ports 465 and 587 and all mail I try to send from my mail account associated to my cPanel mailserver goes right to the Outbox to sit forever.

On December 19, 1777, General George Washington, Commander in Chief of the Continental Army, settles his troops at Valley Forge, Pa., for the winter. The soldiers of the Continental Army had suffered hardships along the way including lack of food, weapons and clothing. Washington and his troops were also under physical and mental exhaustion from a tough campaign against the British that fall.
The winter was so harsh that out of the 12,000 plus men, 4,000 were deemed unfit for duty because of malnutrition and other sicknesses. The soldiers were surviving on a flour and water mixture and clothed in tattered, battle-worn uniforms. Log cabin shelters were built by order of Gen. Washington but did little to keep out the cold.
Six months later, the Continental Army left Valley Forge when Washington heard word of the British Army departing Philadelphia, heading towards New York. Washington and his troops met the British at the Battle of Monmouth in New Jersey. The Continental Army's revived spirit and new skills were attributed to the struggle at Valley Forge.

Basic requirements for the design of the dissertation
If you already have a manuscript of scientific work, you can proceed to the final stage, which is held by all applicants of a scientific degree. For this it's worthwhile to carefully study the requirements for the design of the dissertation. Let's pay attention to the content of the prepared work. It should have all the necessary elements, which traditionally make up the composition. Of course, it must begin with the title page. Here it's necessary to give the title, the names of the author and his supervisor or consultant, the specialty for which this work is protected, place and year of implementation. In this case, the year in which the preliminary protection of the work was carried out is given. The demands for the formulation also regulate the form of the content, the sheet on which the conventional symbols and abbreviations are given. On the latter, it's necessary to bring all the abbreviations that occur in the text . Approach this point with all responsibility so that there are no comments from your opponents and experts. It's also worthwhile to cite conditional reductions, which are considered common for your specialty. Like all other scientific works, the thesis begins from an introduction in which data are presented that confirm the relevance of the studies performed, the formulation of the goal of the work. This is a list of tasks that were solved during the preparation of this dissertation, substantiates the practical val of the results achieved and provides information on their approbation. The body is divided into 4-5 chapters, each has a logical conclusion. The first provides information on the results of the scientific activities of other researchers who worked in the same or an adjacent direction. Analyzed and compared the available facts. The second chapter describes the materials and techniques used. It isn't necessary to focus on standard methods in this case. In subsequent chapters, data are presented on the work done, the results obtained and their significance, not only from a scientific, but also from a practical point of view. Demands for the design also apply to the list of sources used. At the same time, it should begin from a list of publications of the applicant, in which the main achievements were reflected by author.

It is said that people who seem obsessed with history live with their minds in the past. I am happy to report that I have just a passing interest in the subject and really don't care how old everything is, who lived where and when and if their great grandparents had a pet chimp. But I wonder what the chimp's name was?
My uncle Gilbert had a parrot that cursed, but that's another story.

The early Web startup got the Net before any of the adults. But after taking a fall, the now-beleaguered kingpin of digital advertising is looking to sales and marketing veterans to reel in the revenue.
Beset by shrinking ad sales, the taut budgets of blue-chip marketers and an anemic economy, Yahoo! has bulked up in recent months, recruiting talent with a breadth of experience in consumer, media and interactive ventures.
Recent hires have included John Costello, the chief global marketing officer who served in key posts at Sears, Roebuck and Co., AutoNation and more recently MVP.com (AdAge.com QwikFIND AAM76P), and media-savvy Wenda Harris Millard, tapped as chief advertising sales officer. Ms. Millard held top posts at Gruner & Jahr USA Publishing and was president of Ziff Davis Internet before Yahoo! hired her. The moves follow the May arrival of Yahoo!'s new chairman-CEO, entertainment honcho Terry Semel, former co-CEO of AOL Time Warner's Warner Bros.
Yahoo! needs the bench strength to compete against bigger and more diversified media companies in this withering economy.
Among Mr. Semel and his top sales and marketing management team members, five of the 10 executives are new this year (see chart, right); average age of the 10 is 47.
"We needed more senior people, far more experienced people who have access to clients," said Greg Coleman, Yahoo's! exec VP-North American operations, hired eight months ago from Readers Digest Association.
In five months' time, he said Yahoo! cleaned out the ad sales force, dropping an estimated 150 salespeople with an average of three to five years of experience. Yahoo! has gradually built up to the same headcount, adding 30 senior salespeople who have at least 10 to 25 years of sales experience. Mr. Coleman said 10 more senior salespeople will be in place by year-end.
Senior sales types bring experience and access. Access to decision-makers and influencers is all-important given competition among big media players for the shrinking ad dollar.
Beyond sales, Yahoo! will look to Mr. Costello to evolve the brand. "Yahoo! is the ultimate direct-marketing machine," he said, adding that one of his goals is to make Yahoo! "come of age as a consumer utility and marketing tool." Mr. Semel underscored the point last week when he told a meeting of analysts and press that Yahoo! will develop one-to-one database marketing services and other bundled services for marketers and consumers.
At age seven, Yahoo! is at a crossroads. In 2000, about 90% of its revenue came from advertising. By year-end 2001, Mr. Semel projects, the number will be 76%, with 20% derived from business and consumer fee-based programs and 4% from transactions. However, Lehman Brothers analyst Holly Becker last week put Yahoo!'s Internet ad revenue for 2001 at 80%.
Mr. Semel hopes to achieve a 50/50 split between ad-supported revenue and other marketing services by 2004. Some analysts maintain a wait-and-see perspective.
As it hunkers down, Yahoo's plans revolve around delivery of services such as market research, Internet service outsourcing and one-to-one database marketing. Yahoo!, Mr. Coleman said, wants to build digital marketing programs for marketers. The task goes well beyond selling banner ads and morphing skyscraper ads to offering customized programs.
With its global scale of 217 million users, Yahoo! has the reach. But can it successfully pull off the new ventures? Many of the deals will involve alliances and partnerships. Outright acquisitions are also possible, given Yahoo's $1.7 billion cash reserve. (That's assuming Yahoo!, with its shrunken market cap of $8.4 billion, doesn't get acquired.)
In a research note last week, Merrill Lynch analyst Henry Blodget noted 2001 revenue derived from premium services offered by Yahoo! will be nearly $90 million, or about 15% of revenue, up more than 100% year-over-year. "With regard to advertising revenue, the company is still transitioning from dot-com spending to a much higher quality revenue and customer base. Importantly, however, this transition is mostly complete, and the company has recently run large, successful campaigns for Ford, Disney and other Fortune 500 companies," reported Mr. Blodget, the dot-com bull who last week disclosed plans to resign from Merrill Lynch.
Yahoo!'s stock hit an all-time high in January 2000 at a split-adjusted $237.50 a share before tumbling; it traded last week below $15. Yahoo! saw its empire go south with the collapse of the dot-com economy and, with it, an entire advertising base.
"We want to increase the dollars in the advertising world, and we want to decrease our reliance," Mr. Coleman said. He described five revenue generating "buckets": brand advertising and awareness; promotions (tactical, financing and specials); research; outsourcing of Internet functions such as the PayDirect product Yahoo! created for HSBC bank; and one-to-one database marketing to let marketers deploy online loyalty programs such as one now in progress with PepsiCo. The goal is to diversify Yahoo!'s offerings as much as possible.
Mr. Coleman said the research business is likely to be a combination of partnerships and alliances with established firms; he declined to name likely candidates.
Mr. Costello's experience as a former Nielsen Marketing Research USA president could come in handy. The new marketing chief noted Yahoo! is sitting on a gold mine of data showing the behavior of more than 200 million people.

What Are the Benefits of Xanthones?
Xanthones were first discovered and isolated in 1855 by a German scientists performing research on dysentery. Xanthones were named after the Greek word for yellow, xanthos. Xanthones are actually a yellow pigment with the highest concentrations occurring in the mangosteen fruit. Research performed by Brunswick Laboratories in Massachusetts revealed that consumption of xanthone rich substances, such as mangosteen juice, can offer beneficial antioxidant properties.
Video of the Day
Cancer Prevention
Research has shown that consumption of xanthones can offer protection against various forms of cancer. A study performed at the Gifu International Institute of Biotechnology in Japan revealed that the xanthones contained within the mangosteen fruit inhibited growth and proliferation against human leukemia cells. Additional investigation by researchers at Khon Kaen University in Thailand revealed that xanthones offered significant inhibition of growth and proliferation of malignant cells associated with cholangiocarcinoma. Cholangiocarcinoma is a malignant tumor in one of the ducts that carries bile from the liver to the small intestine.
Cardiac Protection
Research also suggests that consumption of xanthone rich products may offer protection for the heart muscle. A study performed by the Department of Pharmacology at Central South University in China reveals that treatment with xanthones offered prevention against the damage that could be obtained from a myocardial infarction or heart attack. When compared to an untreated group of subjects, the subjects treated with xanthones exhibited significantly improved cardiac function and markedly decreased amount of cardiac damage post myocardial infarction.
Consumption of xanthone rich products can also reduce inflammation, particularly in obese individuals. A study performed at the Department of Nutrition at Mahidol University in Thailand revealed that the consumption of xanthones successfully inhibited inflammation. Another study published in the "Indian Journal of Pharmacology" revealed that xanthones exhibited anti-inflammatory properties by both oral and intravenous administration in laboratory animals.

Why we continue to lose the War on Poverty
We have lost the War on Poverty. But it is not because the Census Bureau classifies the same percentage of Americans living in poverty today -- around 15 percent -- as in the 1960s.
Living standards for the lowest earners are much higher today than in the past because of the many means-tested welfare programs offered by national, state, and local governments, but these welfare payments and transfers are not counted by the Census in measuring poverty rates.
In the early 1960s, government assistance was modest, and consumer spending by poor households exceeded their income by about 10 percent.
By 2005, however, consumer spending by poor households was about twice as much as their income because of much higher government assistance and tax credits.
A four person-household is in poverty today, according to federal poverty guidelines, if they earn less than $23,550 per year, but the consumer spending of this same household is around $45,000 per year.
Based on these estimates, you might be tempted to say that the War on Poverty has been won, as very few Americans today face the same economic circumstances that were facing the Southern sharecroppers visited by President Johnson 50 years ago.
The reason the War on Poverty has not been won is because too many Americans are not able to economically succeed without permanent and substantial government assistance.
And an important reason that they are not able to succeed is because of government policies, ranging from assistance programs that penalize work and marriage, to an American education system that leaves too many of our children unprepared to compete in today's economy.
The War on Poverty will not be won until work is rewarded and the poorest Americans acquire the skills necessary to compete in an economy that is so different from the economy of 50 years ago.
When President Johnson launched the War on Poverty, those who completed high school -- and even those who did not -- could compete for high-paying jobs.
This is because there were many opportunities for workers at this skill level, and because U.S. education was relatively strong.
Today, workers face much different job opportunities in a world in which we increasingly compete with workers from other countries, and in which technological change is no longer the rising tide that raises the fortunes of all workers.
Those who are highly trained, with 4 or more years of college, have benefited enormously from the remarkable advances in information processing and communications technologies that have raised the productivity and salaries of highly skilled workers. But these new technologies are not helping low-skilled workers. In fact, new technologies are providing some of the same services that low-skilled labor can provide, but at much lower costs. And the opportunities that are available for our least-skilled workers are impacted by the fact that some of these jobs can be off shored to low-wage labor in other countries.
This means that relatively few low-skilled workers can compete for high paying jobs. Moreover, many of our policies substantially penalize taking jobs.
This is because most government assistance programs are means-tested, so that assistance declines as income rises, which in turn implicitly taxes work at a very high rate for the poorest Americans.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that a single parent with one child would effectively keep only $8000 if they were to take a job paying $30,000 per year compared to earning no income.
And much of this $8,000 would likely be used towards paying for child care.
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has calculated that a single parent with two children is better off earning $5,000 per year than earning $30,000 per year.
These examples show how our assistance policies are punishing work -- not rewarding work -- with the income earned by poor households being effectively taxed at rates that can exceed 100 percent.
By punishing work, assistance policies create chronic use of government assistance by poor households because there is little incentive to leave government assistance.
We can win the War on Poverty by changing policies so that we don't depress the incentive to take jobs by the poorest households.
Public education reforms are required to raise student achievement, particularly in math and science, so that our workers are as well-trained as workers in other countries. This needs to start by confronting teacher unions that have fought against merit-based pay and that have protected poorly performing teachers.
And we need far more opportunities for American workers, which requires a much higher rate of new business formation, as new businesses create a disproportionately large number of jobs.
Entrepreneurship in this country is much lower today than in the past. About half of our most successful new businesses are founded by immigrants.
We need immigration reform that makes it much easier for immigrant entrepreneurs to stay in this country and build new businesses.
In the absence of policy reforms that change the incentive to work, improve worker skills, and create new businesses, we will continue to lose the War on Poverty and watch future generations of poor Americans never realize their true economic potential.

Rose Pentz
In the eight years since Pentz started Century's girls lacrosse program, she has taken the Knights to seven state finals and won five, including this year's Class 3A-2A crown.
This spring, however, there were a few questions about the Knights. They were young and — for the first time — they didn't have a true go-to player, a Kelly Kasper or a Katie Schwarzmann. Everyone would have to contribute.
"This year, I think going into it, not only the coaching staff knew that but the players clearly were aware that we didn't have that player or two," Pentz said. "Not that it doesn't take a team, because it does, but I think it's been the one year that it's been such a team cameraderie. They worked together and everybody contributed in a different way. Everybody knew their role and I think everything came together very nicely."
Pentz, who took the Knights to the state final in their first season as a varsity program, retired as Century's coach after this season so she could watch her daughter Kaitlin, the Knights' goalie, play in college. She completes her run with a career record of 128-13.

It's really hard to write what you believe without making someone mad. That's why I believe in the power of opinions. Throughout history, opinions have changed history and culture. Heck, they've made everyone who they are. Since each of us has our own opinions, we can only influence other people if they don't have a stable opinion on that subject.
Power is held in the most convincing argument, which is probably why I am the liberal person that I am. My dad has had the strongest argument I've heard on politics and as such, it is the opinion on politics that I take. Of course there are offshoots and I have my own little ideas and formulations, but as far as liberalism itself goes, I see the same direction my dad does.
The reason that kids learn from teaching is that teaching in itself, is an incredibly accurate opinion on something. A fact is nothing more than an incredibly accurate opinion, based on what we think we know. As for the untruths, well, that's just a matter of whichever sounds convincing enough to be a "fact". In my opinion, that is why the conservative parties do so well: they give the people what they want to hear. It may not be "fact" but it is the most convincing opinion to some people, hence why the media is so popular (or at least, that's my opinion).
I'm sure that whoever is reading this, or hearing this is forming their own opinions about it. If you think I'm right, then I'm right. If you think I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Ha, got you. My opinion is that you'll think my opinion is right or wrong, thus I can predict (on a very basic level) what your thinking. Congratulations, you've given me brief control of your mind. I can see the potential that the opinion has, and it's my opinion whether you believe it or not. Maybe I have not taken control of your mind. Perhaps brown is green. I don't know. All that I do know is that fact is not fact, for nothing is the same.
A Denali is African currency, the yen, Japanese. What if I decide to call it a fish? My opinion. Maybe yours. It brings to mind a quote derivative from Shakespeare: "A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet." I'm sure it does.
