London has gained a reputation across the world for its high-quality performances and impressive theatre scene. While you may have seen the long-running shows before, there's always something new coming to the West End and beyond. If you fancy a trip to the theatre, here are some of the openings to excite over the next month.
Macbeth – National Theatre
For Shakespeare lovers, the National's latest production of Macbeth is one not to be missed. Featuring Rory Kinnear in the title role and Anne-Marie Duff as his ambitious wife, the classic tale is rendered in all its bloody and violent drama.
Macbeth opens on March 7th
Summer and Smoke – Almeida Theatre
It may not be the most famous of Tennessee Williams' plays, but Summer and Smoke delivers on the themes of sexual desire and self-destruction that he became famous for. This production soars in the hands of Rebecca Frecknall, who directs Patsy Ferran as minister's daughter Alma.
Summer and Smoke opened on February 24th
Caroline, or Change – Hampstead Theatre
Set in 1963 at the height of the American civil rights struggle, Caroline, or Change tells the story of a formidable black maid idolised by an eight-year-old boy. This musical by Tony Kushner received five-star reviews at the Chichester Festival Theatre and will no doubt do well at the Hampstead, with Sharon D Clarke in the title role.
Caroline, or Change will be performed from March 12th
The Best Man – Playhouse Theatre
Featuring many a famous face from the world of television, Gore Vidal's The Best Man may have been written six decades ago, but feels as relevant today as ever. Honeysuckle Weeks, Martin Shaw and Maureen Lipman bring this tale of two US politicians looking for endorsement from the sitting president to life.
Performances of The Best Man began on March 5th
The Inheritance – Young Vic
Among the boldest new projects coming to London is The Inheritance, which stars the enduring talent of Vanessa Redgrave. This two-part play about gay life in New York is said to have been inspired by Howards End. See each play separately or both parts in the same evening.
The Inheritance will open on March 9th
Getting to Theatreland
An evening at the theatre can be ruined by the stress of trying to get there. Bypass the driving issues and navigational problems by hiring a coach. It also means you can gather a large group of friends and enjoy a theatre trip to London together. Some plays even offer discounts for group bookings, giving you even more incentive to go en masse.

The Union Jack and Polish flags were waved in unison on Saturday 5 September when a group of British and Polish friends from Cheltenham attended a special 75th Anniversary ceremony being held to mark the crucial role Polish pilots played in the Battle of Britain.
The ceremony, held at RAF Northolt, honoured the vital contribution 145 Polish pilots made in the Battle of Britain.
To pay respects to these brave men and to show solidarity and support for the longstanding friendship between Britain and Poland, a special coach trip to attend the service was arranged by Cheltenham Senior Community Voice, in partnership with the CBH Polish Forum, Cheltenham Polish TARA and the Polish Klub 50+.
At the service wreaths were laid by representatives of the Polish and British governments, local authorities, the Polish Air Force and the Royal Air Force. Veterans of individual squadrons or their descendants also laid wreaths for each Polish squadron that flew alongside the Royal Air Force from 1940 to 1945.
In addition to the wreath laying, the replica of the wartime Wilno Standard of the Polish Air Force was paraded and the ceremony featured a spectacular fly-past by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, a detachment of Officer Cadets from the Polish Air Force Academy, trumpeter and drummer from the Central Band of the RAF, and the band of the Middlesex Wing of the Air Training Corps.
The Cheltenham contingent, young and old, thoroughly enjoyed the day and commented:
Irek Nawiasniak (aged 12) said "Today has been brilliant! The best thing is the way the Polish and English helped each other in the war and today."
Trina Wheable said "It was enlightening to hear about the Battle of Britain from a Polish perspective. I'm ashamed to say that before today, I didn't realise how big a part they played."
Edmund Rablewski said "I was overwhelmed at the level of respect paid by the British Air Force and dignitaries to our Polish veterans."
Urszula Kaweck said "Today was very emotional and made me feel very proud. I would like to thank our English friends for organising this trip."
Beata Szadkowska said, "One of the veterans told me "Thank you for continuing the interest in what went before. It is wonderful to see both Polish and British people of younger generations showing their appreciation."
Bernard McBride (from Cheltenham Senior Community Voice) said "Today has brought our two communities even closer and we will continue to work together to change attitudes and promote our positive and long standing friendship."
Young people from the various Polish schools in London, as well as the Polish Scouts and Guides, also took part.
After the service, the Cheltenham group visited the RAF Museum at Hendon, where they enjoyed a delicious lunch followed by a guided tour of the museum.
Additional information:
The contribution made by 145 Polish fighter pilots to the Battle of Britain is a source of immense pride for Poland and the Polish community in the UK. Out of the overall number of fighter pilots from Allied countries they constituted the largest contingent after the British. In terms of enemy aircraft downed during the Battle of Britain, 303 Squardron, which was based at RAF Northolt, was the most successful Squadron, with Polish pilot, Flying Officer Witold Urbanowicz, credited with 15 enemy aircraft destroyed.
Air Chief Marshall Sir Hugh Dowding, the Commander-in-Chief of RAF Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain, later said, "Had it not been for the magnificent material contributed by the Polish squadrons and their unsurpassed gallantry, I hesitate to say that the outcome of the battle would have been the same."

I meant to post this on here last week, but I kind of forgot. People have been asking for this for a while so I figured I'd give it a shot.
Seeing as both Wii64 and WiiSX were released a year ago and don't have very good USB support, I've recompiled them with the latest devkitPPC and libogc. USB support should be very much improved with these builds; I didn't change any of the actual code.
Thanks to the EmulateMii Team for both of these awesome emulators.

(My bad. I totally missed posting this on Wednesday. Okay, so before you read this, pretend today is Wednesday, May 20. Work with me people…)
20 years ago today, on May 20, 1995, one of the most improbable upsets in NBA history occurred at America West Arena, when the Houston Rockets defeated the Phoenix Suns in game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals after being down 3 games to 1.
From Wikipedia: "The highlight of Elie's career came when he hit a clutch three-pointer in Game 7 of the 1995 Western Conference Semifinals against the Phoenix Suns to put the Rockets up 113-110 with 7.1 seconds to play. The shot is called the Kiss of Death by Rockets fans, as Elie made a taunting kissing gesture towards the Suns' bench shortly after the shot was made."
The Rockets went on to defeat the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals and swept the Orlando Magic (featuring Shaquille O'Neal, Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway, Horace Grant and most ignominiously, Nick "The Brick" Anderson) in the NBA Finals.

Are you recording who's in the building with a staff signing in system?
Aside from timekeeping reasons, or record-keeping obligations to collect timesheets of hours worked, there are extra reasons to collect data on who is where using a staff signing in system
- Building headcount, for example to account for employees with a mobile device roll call in case of emergency such as for fire safety precautions
- A staff signing in system allows you to cross reference data from absence management systems with information on locations and hours worked.
- To eliminate the need for physical signing in/out books and storage of these records.
- Allow supervisors to get an at-a-glance view of who is or is not on the premises – including multiple sites or remote workers that are supposed to be at agree physical locations with known IP addresses. Obviously this depends on the organisation's function and policy
- Reduce abuse of physical key cards for 'buddy punching'.
In certain situations, such as manufacturing or areas with higher security levels required, there's a need for something more robust, such as a biometric solution.
But for general use, clocking in and out using any device, from a smartphone to desktop, even a simple 'You can only clock in from specific IP addresses' setting can deliver the data you need.
- How I reluctantly grew to love keeping timesheets
- Learn the Importance of Time with TimeSheets
- Time Management Software
You don't need an app for this either so device compatibility should not be an issue if the system is delivered via the browser on a truly responsive web app that scales to suit any device.

Information about North Country Community College dental hygienist jobs, registering for required degree courses, and taking practice exams for free online. Whether you are considering an associates degree (CNA, LVN, or LPN), or a bachelor of science in nursing (RN), you will find many doors opening after graduation. If you study dental hygiene, for example, there are a variety of concentrations that may appeal to you such as practical nursing, laboratory internships, or vocational rehabilitation. Check with the dentistry department for an updated schedule of classes, registration deadlines, and a list of dental hygienist job requirements. Due to advances in health care, there is a growing skill-shortage of dental hygienists, and of qualified medical personnel in general. Please use the form above to request admissions info for North Country Community College.
In dentistry, there are three fast-growing employment fields. Dental hygienist jobs may range from providing patient care, to record-keeping and scheduling appointments. Dental lab technicians construct, or repair, dentures and prosthetics. Dental hygienists clean teeth, examine patients for signs of oral diseases such as gingivitis, and apply sealants and fluorides to help protect teeth. They must also learn to take and develop dental x-rays. The median annual wage for dental hygienists was $52,330 in 2015, while dental assistants average $37,500 per year. Dental hygienist jobs are projected to grow 19% in the coming decade.
Dental hygienists need an associates degree in dental hygiene. The programs typically take 3 years to complete, and offer laboratory, clinical, and classes in anatomy, physiology, nutrition, radiography, pathology, and periodontics. All states require dental hygienists to be licensed, although requirements vary by state. The Commission on Dental Accreditation, part of the American Dental Association, has accredited more than 300 dental hygienist job programs.

G' day!
It's been so long since I last posted a blog. Do I miss it? Nay… I've been too busy looking after my bub.
But I recently have been so compelled to write a small blog. It's something about God… My big God.
I think God has a sense of humour when it comes to teaching a lesson. Sometimes He would teach me stuff through my baby. Can you imagine learning stuff from a baby?
These are a few things my little man taught me about God.
1. God is a provider
You may have heard this many times that God is a provider. I have too. But I didn't get it until I had a baby. It is incredible how before God created people, He created earth and animals first. So His people had a place to live and food to eat. Now thinking back, I found myself running back and forth preparing things before my baby's arrival. This is only an act of a mere (wo)man. How much do you think God would do for you?
2. God doesn't see my flaws
Many times I said to myself that I wish I could be a better mum or simply a better person. But when I look at my son and he looks back at me and I'm like, "How can you look at me with those loving eyes like that?" He doesn't care if I don't comb my hair or sometimes I even smell like onions. He looks past that and it's all good! Yes, God's love is like that too, I kid you not. He loves us though we are sinners. He blesses us though we think we don't deserve any. God looks past all the flaws.
3. God has never been too far
Every time my baby cried I would say, "I'm here little bub, I'm not far away." I think God is like that to us too when it comes to a close relationship. Every time we think we are in trouble or scared, God has never been too far. He is just a prayer a way.
You see, God is really funny. He taught me a few things through my baby. 🙂

Reflections – and a Look Ahead

Thinking like an Investor
posted by Laurie Bassi
Ask yourself these questions. Start with "If I were a long-term investor considering making an investment in the company where I currently work…"
1. In what areas would I want the company to invest more (time, money, and leadership focus)?
2. What would I want the company to stop doing?
3. What aspects of the company's culture would I consider most important to preserve?
4. What aspects of the company's culture would I consider most important to change?
5. Would I want more (or fewer) employees to spend their time doing what I do?
Since the vast majority of wealth is now created through intangible assets – all of which ultimately emanate from human capital – these questions are particularly important for professionals working in HR, organizational development, and learning.
Can you answer all of those? Our hats are off to you if have the evidence necessary to confidently answer each of them. On the other hand, if you're worried you don't have a strong evidence base for answering these questions, that's cause for concern. It reflects a likely lack of clarity and effectiveness in your company's HR strategy – and could also mean you should think hard about your own career prospects in an organization like that.
One of our key themes this year is the tremendous power in simply asking better questions (and, of course, being able to answer them). Asking the questions that investors would ask of you if they were given the chance is a very powerful strategy for guiding HR investments.
At its heart, this is what advances in HR analytics can help you accomplish – asking and answering better, more insightful, more important questions. And remember – since the time and energy you spend working means that you ARE an investor in whatever company you choose to be your employer, these questions can also help guide you in major career decisions.

12 Questions to Enhance Your Career, Part 2
posted by Laurie Bassi
As noted in last month's newsletter, among our clients, the "better question folks" enjoy disproportionate success. A key to career success often involves taking a step back and assessing things from a different perspective than many of your colleagues.
The first of the eight questions we proposed last month was the following: "If I were offered the opportunity, would I invest any of my personal assets in my organization?" If your answer to this question ranged somewhere between "Not so sure" and "You've got to be kidding me," here's a set of questions for your consideration:
1. What is it about your organization that makes it a poor choice for investors?
2. What would it take to turn this situation around?
3. What role can your department (or function, location, etc.) play in improving the attractiveness of your company to investors?
4. What does this suggest about the measures and analysis you should be providing to your CEO, Board of Directors, and investors, that would help move your organization in the right direction?
And consider this bonus question: Given your answers to all 12 proposed questions, what role can you play in improving the attractiveness of your company to investors? Consider possible options for how you might take that path in the days and weeks ahead. (And if your answer is "none" then you are either working in a hopeless situation, or you have become complacent. In either case, a change of scenery may be in order.)
12 Questions to Enhance Your Career, Part 1
posted by Laurie Bassi
In our work with clients, we're always struck by the power of asking the right questions – and the benefits that accrue to those who ask them. These "better question folks" tend to be up-and-comers who are well-positioned (regardless of job title) to garner important influence in their organizations.
If you'd like to be one of these people – able to guide organizational conversations with better questions – here are three initial questions for you to consider:
1. If I were offered the opportunity, would I invest any of my available personal assets in my organization? (If yes, then continue to the following questions. If no, then you'll definitely want to read Part 2, which will appear in our October newsletter.)
2. What are the primary strengths of my organization that would lead me to invest?
3. What are the risks I would be most concerned about as an investor?
Then, what do your specific answers to questions 2 and 3 suggest to you about the following:
4. The key strategic directions your organization should be pursuing?
5. How you should be spending your time as an employee?
6. Your career trajectory?
7. What your department should be doing differently?
8. The measures and analysis you should be providing to your CEO, Board of Directors and investors?
Why think along these lines? Truth be told, whether or not you actually invest personal financial assets, you're already making a huge investment: the scarce resource of your time. Thinking like the investor that you are can lead to asking more powerful questions. The answers to those questions will help guide your organization – and enhance your career.
Never too early to start developing human capital
posted by Dan McMurrer
When this blog discusses human capital, we tend to do so from the perspective of human capital in the workplace. Today we'll look a little earlier. In his weekly column today, David Leonhardt of the New York Times highlights a new academic study on the effects of kindergarten on future outcomes.
The research, by Raj Chetty and colleagues, examined what's happened to almost 12,000 children who were included in a large educational experiment in Tennessee in the 1980s. They find that students who learned more in kindergarten went on to earn more money and were less likely to become teenage parents (as well as a variety of other positive outcomes).
Extensive research has been done on the positive economic effects of education, but almost none of it has reached all the way back to kindergarten. As Leonhardt notes, this new research suggests that early education may be an example of a long-term investment that has benefits that don't fade away. We should always be on the lookout for how to take advantage of those sorts of opportunities.
Are US companies eating the seed corn?
posted by Laurie Bassi
Today's New York Times features an article entitled "Industries Find Surging Profits in Deeper Cuts." The article notes that:
Among the S.& P. 500 companies that have reported second-quarter results, more than one in 10 had higher profits on lower sales, nearly twice the number in a typical quarter before the recession … Even at corporations where both the top and bottom lines are expanding, the focus remains on keeping profits high, not rebuilding work forces decimated by the recession.
One possible interpretation of this ongoing "right-sizing" is that large, U.S.-based firms are adjusting to the "new normal" by finding ways to remain sustainably profitable in the face of permanently lower demand.
Alternatively, it may be that many of the companies exhibiting this behavior are engaging in the corporate equivalent of eating "the seed corn" (the seed saved from one year's harvest to use for planting in the following year) by grabbing whatever short-run profits they can get their hands on, despite the negative long-term consequences.
In either case, the implications for investors are the same. While firms that are exhibiting this behavior will generate tidy returns in the short-run, they are a much riskier bet in the long-run. Eating the seed corn is never a smart strategy – unless your existence is in peril.

What are invisible braces?
Orthodontists have come up with a number of ways to make the wearing of braces more acceptable to those patients who don't like to show off their appliances. 'Invisible brace' is a general term that applies to any orthodontic appliance that is less conspicuous than the traditional metal fixed braces.
Dr Sarah Good and Dr Pourghadiri incorporate many types of state-of-the-art orthodontic treatment in their armamentarium in order to make braces they use more invisible.
Lingual Braces / Braces on the Inside of the Teeth
These are made of metal, but they are bonded to the surface of the teeth facing the inside of the mouth, so they are concealed and almost invisible to the observer. They are suitable only in specific orthodontic cases.
Lingual braces will affect the tongue and initially will have some impact on the patient's speech and eating. The amount will vary with each patient's dental arch and tongue position. Lingual appliances are more expensive than conventional braces, because they are specifically custom-made to each patient's teeth, require special instruments, and special orthodontist and staff training. Dr Pourghadiri is happy to discuss the suitability of this appliance for your specific needs.
Clear Removable Aligners / Invisalign
These look like small colourless gumshields, and are almost invisible. Treatment with them involves a series of thin, clear, precisely customised aligners that gradually move the teeth. Each aligner is worn for about 2 weeks, and a series of aligners are used until the teeth are straightened. The aligners are worn full-time, and taken out only for eating and brushing. They are suitable only in specific orthodontic cases.
Removable Braces
Many forms of traditional removable appliances can be designed so that very few components are visible when viewed from the front.
Fixed Braces with Metal Brackets
Metal brackets on fixed braces (such as the Damon Q system) these days are quite small, covering a small area of each tooth, making them less conspicuous.
You will still need a consultation with your orthodontist to determine what kind of brace therapy will be most favourable to your specific clinical situation. Contact us for an appointment to discuss your options.

how do i convert videos to .dsv?
and how do i get jEnesis to scale to fit the DS screen?
*facepalm times infinity*
Short answer: cannot happen with the way jEnesisDS works. If you can tolerate slow speed and no sound, use jEnesisDS v0.4a SW version or PicoDriveDS, which have horizontal scaling. If you want fullspeed and sound, you'll have to settle for not being able to scale horizontally.

Liberty-Louisville Preview
March 20, 2009
(AP) - Louisville has already enjoyed perhaps the finest season in its history. A lengthy run in the NCAA tournament would put a cap on it.
The third-seeded Cardinals seek to begin such a run Sunday in Baton Rouge when they face No. 14 seed Liberty in a Raleigh Region first-round matchup.
This is the fifth consecutive NCAA tournament appearance for Louisville - one of several school records set by this season's team. The Cardinals' 29-4 record established a new mark for most wins in a season, and their 14-2 record in Big East play was also an all-time best for the program.
Were it not for unbeaten Connecticut, the Cardinals might well be the nation's top-ranked team. Two of Louisville's losses came against the No. 1 Huskies, and the Cardinals went 5-0 versus other ranked opponents.
Louisville lost by 28 points to UConn in late January, and shot just 22 percent (12-for-57) from the field en route to a 75-36 defeat in its last game - the Big East tournament championship March 10.
That loss snapped an eight-game win streak for the Cardinals, who got only nine points from star forward Angel McCoughtry. McCoughtry led Louisville with 23.5 points and 9.3 rebounds per game and earned All-Big East first team honors for the third consecutive season. Fellow senior Candyce Bingham ranked second on the team in both scoring (12.3) and rebounding (7.2).
McCoughtry is just as effective on the defensive side of the court, as her 4.7 steals per game are tops in the nation.
Aside from the fact its seeding is the highest in school history, the best aspect of Louisville's draw may be that it can't face UConn again until the national title game. The Raleigh Region also features top-seeded Maryland and No. 2 seed Baylor. The winner of this contest will face either No. 6 LSU or No. 11 Wisconsin-Green Bay in the second round.
A matchup with LSU could pose an unusual challenge for a higher-seeded team, as the Tigers are getting to stay at home for the first two rounds.
"We have to get by our first game, which is not going to be an easy game by no means," Louisville coach Jeff Walz said. "If we win that first one, we'll play LSU - if they win their first one - on their home court."
Though Liberty's seed may be low, the Flames (24-8) have plenty of postseason experience. Liberty is Big South champion for the 12th time in the last 13 seasons, and the current team features five seniors including twin sisters Megan and Moriah Frazee, the Flames' leading scorers with 20.3 and 10.1 points per game, respectively.
"We're not finished yet," Liberty coach Carey Green said last Sunday after his team beat Gardner-Webb 51-50 to win the Big South title. "I know the seniors, they want more, and they're capable of doing more."
The current crop of seniors certainly wants to accomplish more in the tournament. The Flames are 2-11 all-time in the NCAA tourney, with both wins coming in their run to the round of 16 in 2005 - the season before the current seniors first joined the team.

Have any of you been told by your nutritionist that using TPN long term is bad and will destroy your liver?
Total Parenteral Nutrition - anyone heard that using TPN for years is bad for your liver?

You can get 'fatty liver' as a result of prolonged TPN usage but im sure the nutrition clinic will take regular bloods and make any relevant changes to the PN prescription to combat this - My husbands bloods a few months back were showling slightly abnormal LFT's and after further tests and some 'tweeking' they have returned to normal.

Once I have got a customer request to create custom lists with custom views, not through custom code but through custom list definition.
WOW it will be really a cool stuff to do!!!
They already have a custom list definition and whenever they create a new list based upon that custom list definition it will create a list with a default view which was "All items". But, they wanted some custom views has to be there by default whenever they create a new list based upon their custom list definition.
If you want to know how we can create a custom list defintion please refer the below MSDN article:
Now we can see the funny development part…
Here we can talk with a custom list definition by taking an eg: of custom list definition of "LinkList" and its definition will be there in the following location.
Drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions \12 \ TEMPLATE \ FEATURES \LinksList
If you do the necessary changes after copying and renaming this folder your custom list definition for LinksList is ready. And once you activate the corresponding feature and create new list then you can see that it will show only a single view which will be "All items" by default.
Now, we can see how we can add custom view definition to the schema.xml of our custom view. If we open the schema.xml file then you can see the following tags for the views. View with the BaseViewID=1 is the "All Items" view.
<View BaseViewID="0" Type="HTML" OrderedView="TRUE">
+ <ViewHeader>
- <Query>
- <OrderBy>
<FieldRef Name="Order" Ascending="TRUE" />
- <ViewFields>
<FieldRef Name="URL" Explicit="TRUE" />
<FieldRef Name="URLNoMenu" />
<View BaseViewID="1" Type="HTML" OrderedView="TRUE" WebPartZoneID="Main" DisplayName="$Resources:core,All_Links;" DefaultView="TRUE" SetupPath="pages\viewpage.aspx" ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/links.png" Url="AllItems.aspx">
</ View></ Views>
Now our next task is creating a new view definition <View></ View> for our custom view.
So now the question is, do I need to write all those definitions inside the schema.xml file L ?
Ans : yes ofcourse, but don't worry we have an easy way to do it. J.
Though the "easy way" is somewhat tricky it will reduce our task and it will not create any syntactical errors. In order to get a custom view definition, first you have to create a view from UI and then save your list as list template. From the list template you will get the new view's definition.
Here are the steps:
1. Create an instance of LinksList
2. Create custom view in the UI
3. Now save the list as List Template.
3.1 List settings à Permissions and Management à Save List as Template.
4. Download the List template from the List Template Gallery.
4.1 Site Actions àSite Settings à Galleries à List templates.
5. Rename the list template file to .cab and open the manifest.xml file
6. From the manifest.xml we will get the View definition of our custom view. Just copy it and paste
it in to the schema.xml.
While doing the 6th step you have to remember some points. If you just cross check the custom view definition with the "All Items" view then we can see that some of the attributes were missing in the custom view definition. One important attribute will be SetupPath. You can see it in the highlighted part of my custom view definition below. SetupPath will take a page viewpage.aspx as its value , which is located physically in the following location.
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\Pages
If you open this page then you can see a WebPartZone with ID "main", this webpart zone will include the view pages once we creates it. Thus, WebPartZoneID and SetupPath attributes are mandatory while adding a custom view definition.
Also, we can specify new Url instead of AllItems.aspx like below and then it will show the list in this new Url.
<!--My Custom View Start-->
<View Name="{EAA1BF1B-C838-42CC-BA89-DEE69C1591E3}" WebPartZoneID="Main" Type="HTML" DisplayName="sowmyanview" SetupPath="pages\viewpage.aspx" Url="sowmyan.aspx" Level="1" BaseViewID="2" ContentTypeID="0x" ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/generic.png">
<!--My Custom View End-->
If you didn't do the above changes then while creating a new instance of your list you will get a "FileNotFoundException" exception. So you have to remember those important points in mind. After completing those modifications, we have to uninstall our custom fetaure or install it forcefully again. Now we can see our custom view whenever we create a new list!

Hostess Brands Inc. has been filing the bids for its brands in stages. Flowers Foods Inc., which makes Tastykakes and a variety of breads, was picked as the lead bidder for six of Hostess' major bread brands, including Wonder.
I love the soft texture of Wonder Bread. Almost all the white breads are now whole grain and are as hard as a rock. Ok maybe not quite as hard as a rock but it is like eating stale bread.

What happens on your first visit?
Your optimum oral health is our primary goal. The teeth, gums, jaw joints and muscles must all work together to allow you to chew efficiently. In the first visit we evaluate all these structures.
Your overall health affects you teeth and gums and vice versa. A thorough medical history evaluation is necessary to find any diseases or medications you are taking that might affect your dental health.
We start your exam by taking diagnostic xrays. With these xrays Dr. Scott can check for cavities, check the height and health of your bone, check for any abnormalities and check wisdom teeth formation.
An oral cancer screening is also performed in order to catch any problem lesions in the mouth. While rare, oral cancer is one of the more deadly cancers therefore Dr. Scott insists this screening is done at every cleaning appointment to ensure early detection.
The temporomandibular joints (TMJs) are evaluated through all of the movements of the lower jaw. This also is an area where early detection is key. Popping, clicking and pain in this joint are signs of disorder of the TMJs. Dr. Scott can prescribe appliances and/or therapies to help alleviate these symptoms if needed.
The periodontal exam is a complete exam of not only the gingival (gums) but also the bone around the teeth. A probe is used to measure the space between the gums and the tooth (pockets). The color, type, and shape of the gums is also noted for problems. The periodontal bone is also examined on the xray to determine its health. This exam can also be considered the foundation exam as these tissues are the foundation for the teeth.
It is now time for the teeth exam. Each tooth is examined visually and with xrays. They are examined individually and then how they are in relation to each other in the bite. A cosmetic exam is also done at this time to correct any problems with color, shape or position of the teeth.
All of this information is then used to provide you with a complete treatment plan for a healthy and attractive smile both now and for your lifetime.

Let's face it: most of us want a diaper bag that doesn't look like a diaper bag. We're pretty big fans of converting traditional bags and purses into stylish bags for holding all of our little ones things, which can feel like the contents of our entire household at times.
We love each of these bags below for passing the cute but functional test. How do you all like your diaper bags? Do you go the traditional route or do you like to switch it up with bags similar to the ones below?
- We love this cute leopard shopper bag from Darling Clementine. It's the perfect size and is comfy on our shoulders, even when loaded down. Plus those adorable leopard spots are also good at hiding dirt. ;)
- When we need all hands free and know we won't need too many items or supplies from home, we instantly grab a cute backpack and this one from Urban Outfitters fits the bill perfectly.
- You can never go wrong with this black Baggu number. We love that we can throw almost everything into it and it seems to expand juuuust enough each time. The black goes with everything and we just have to say, every single Modern Burlap swaddle looks perfect in it!
- If we're going somewhere where we need to be a little bit less casual we take this gold metallic tote from Nordstroms. Again, it can fit pretty much everything we need without anything spilling out, and it has a removable zipper pouch inside to keep the important items safe. Bonus: The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is about to begin this week!

|Whitney Houston in "It's Not Right But It's Okay" Video Clip. Image source.
Eva Tarida Blog. Reeevaaa
All my best friends, or those who get real close to me will barely know that I am a Whitney Houston lover.
She's not beautiful yet not that so fashionable IMO. But the time she starts to sing, none of the crowd will move! I believe the crowd will gaze and amazed!
Even Oprah, in her exclusive interview with Whitney, claimed that She's a woman with the voice of national treasure! This episode means a lot to me! I even cried several times knowing how hard Whitney had to got through on her ruined up marriage.
What was Bobby Meant to Whitney? her Drugs, her world.
"He was my drug. I didn't do anything without him. I wasn't getting high by myself. It was me and him together, and we were partners, and that's what my high was — him. He and I being together, and whatever we did, we did it together. No matter what, we did it together." (source)
Those one time when Whitney said that she even sacrificed her glory of fame (she dim her light) so that her bad-ass ex husband Bobby Brown could light up more and got no jealous of her! SIGH!
This one sentence I remember when Whitney told the crowd "I'm Mrs. Brown everybody. Don't call me Ms. Houston." Hooow Lovely attitude that got none of a bit appreciate from that ex-Hubby!
Whitney, the woman with all those glory she had, was already gave up all for her beloved ones, Bobby, who never appreciate it at all.
A bit conversation when Bobby slapped Whitney during the probation which made her had to put him in jail:
A bit conversation when Bobby slapped Whitney during the probation which made her had to put him in jail:
Whitney: Yeah, you can't slap somebody when you're on probation. You're in violation then. So it went to domestic violence court, and I just could not see me putting him in jail.
Oprah: So were you always appearing and making those court appearances because you felt you had to stand by your man?
Whitney: I had to. Yeah, I'm his wife.
Oprah: You know what I get now that I didn't get then as just an observer in the world? ... What I now get is that you took those vows seriously.
Whitney: Very, Oprah. To my heart. (source)
For Whitney, Marriage vow is EVERYTHING. That's why she was doing all the best she could to be Bobby's best wife. Speechless.....
What was very great is that even tho in such darkness time, Whitney still realized she needed to find light from God! So, she never stops to read the bible... No matter how high she was, or how sober she was.. She knew that the God is there, all she needed to do was come back to the light again. Amazingly awesome.

No matter how high she was, or how sober she was.. She knew that the God is there, all she needed to do was come back to the light again. Amazingly awesome.
Then came her Mommy and said 'I'm not losing you to the world. I'm not losing you to Satan. I want my daughter back. I want you back. I want to see that glow in your eyes. That light in your eyes. I want to see the child I raised. And you weren't raised like this. And I'm not having it. So you make a choice, and you make it here today because I have a court injunction that says you have to go."
That's the 2 points I love.
1. The ability to still realizing God and
2. Support from the very best person!
So, I present you now one of my Whitney's fave song. I know this one is made before her downfall moment - It was recorded on 1995-, but, it's great for us to always remember. The music produced by Babyface and the Music Video directed by Forest Whitaker. Wow, you name it!
Exhale (Shoop Shoop) - Whitney Houston --- Producer: Babyface
Everyone falls, in love sometimes Sometimes it's wrong, and sometimes it's right For every win, someone must fail But there comes a point when... When we exhale, yeah yeah
Say, shoop, shoop, shoop...All you gotta do is say shoop, shoop, shoop... My Lord now, shoop, shoop...
(*) Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry Life never tells us, the whens and whys When you've got friends, to wish you well You'll find a point when, you will exhale
Yeah, yeah
Say, shoop, shoop, shoop.. Say shoobedoo...
Oh, hearts are often brokenWhen there are words unspoken In your soul there's, answers to your prayers If you're searching for, a place you know A familiar face, somewhere to go You should look inside your soul And you're half way there (repeat *)
I say shoop, shoop... Feels all right, you can say shoop...:)

CHRIS READ believes he is ready to succeed Alec Stewart as England's number one wicketkeeper.
Nottinghamshire's Read was highly impressive in England's recent one-day games, which saw Michael Vaughan's team win both NatWest Challenge and NatWest Series trophies.
Veteran Stewart is under central contract until the last week of September.
But Read has enhanced his reputation as an international-class player some four years after making his international debut in the 2-1 Test defeat to New Zealand.
He was dropped three matches into that series and axed permanently after nine one-day appearances the following winter against South Africa and Zimbabwe.
"I now believe I have got what it takes to play both forms of the game. I know my own gameplans so much better than I did four years ago," insisted Read.
"When I played for England first time around I was nowhere near the complete cricketer and still don't think I am, if there is such a thing.
"But the fact is I am a far better player now, having learnt so much over those years just through the experience of playing first-class cricket and analysing my own game."
The 24-year-old has worked on his technique with both bat and gloves. In front of the stumps he now keeps as still as possible for as long as possible, in contrast to behind where he has increased his foot movement.
Former Australian keeper Ian Healy has been the inspiration for his handiwork while Stewart's run-gathering at all levels has sharpened the focus of his batting.
Following 40-year-old Stewart, England's second-highest run-scorer in Test history and his country's most prolific batsman at one-day international level, is a daunting prospect.
But Read said: "Alec has been a terrific servant for England all told and I don't dwell too much on how he has done in the past, I just try and do my job as it's required for the team in any given situation.
"Certainly, having done a lot of batting with Nottinghamshire and the Academy over the last 12 months I am very keen to make a state-ment with the bat."
Academy director Rod Marsh, who replaced Test captain Nasser Hussain on the four-man selection panel at the start of the summer, has long championed Read's cause.
That was strengthened by a match-winning stand with Marcus Trescothick to see off Pakis tan i n the f i nal Challenge match and an unbeaten 30 against South Africa at Old Trafford.
Coach Duncan Fletcher recently admitted: "Chris has batted well for us, he's come down the bottom order and shown a lot of enterprise and kept wicket well."
Read's tidy glovework, which Nottinghamshire coach Mick Newell believes has improved by keeping to Australian leg-spinner Stuart MacGill, claimed 13 catches in nine NatWest innings and proved at least the equal of Stewart, who has 128 Test caps.
Stewart has not looked back since taking advantage of James Foster's broken arm last summer and averages 66.6 in his last seven Test innings.
"Chris Read did well in the one-dayers but Alec Stewart has done nothing wrong, he's a fine international-class allrounder," said chairman of selectors David Graveney.

I Feel Like a Important Customer
by newpost ·
I was looking for a new bank because the current bank that I have been with over the years has acquired many other banks and has become so impersonal. They also started charging for every little thing I needed from them. So I went online to do some research and locate a new bank. I did a Google search for Banks and found this website http://www.bankaislemleri.net.
A few different results of different banks came up, but most of them just didn't have the personal service I was looking for. One of the things I was looking for was the ability to pay my bills online. I don't like to do the traditional method of paying bills. Printing out checks and mailing to the bill companies. I wanted to be able to do more of an electronic transfer for these bills. Your banking website helped me set up everything for me to pay my bills. Then I was also looking for a new credit card. Even though I don't like to have a lot of debt, I needed to have a credit card for when I would rent a car or for emergencies. Your bank helped me find the perfect credit card at the perfect APR for me.
I also was able to transfer all of my funds from my old banking institution without any problem. Now I no longer just feel like a number in a long line of customers. I feel like my business actually matters. Another thing that I will be looking for in the future with the bank is a home loan. I am saving up my money to purchase my first home. It is truly a dream of mine to have a home of my own, and thanks to your bank I am sure this dream of mine will be a reality one day soon.

Anna Cleaver is driving, swimming, biking and running her way from Queenstown up to Taupo in preparation for Ironman in New Zealand, showing you just how Ezi it is for you to combine a road trip with your NZ racing experience.
Here is a few questions we asked her pre-race.
1. How many Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Ironman's have you completed?
I have completed 5 Ironman races but numerous half distance races.
2. What is your goal for this race?
NZ is very special to me and racing in Taupo at an Ironman that I watched friends compete in for years is going to be amazing, regardless of the result. My goal for this race is to put together a solid race, handle the ups and downs that Ironman racing throws at us, and finish strong. I have a tendency to start the swim and bike quite fast, so I'd like to pace myself a bit better for this one!
3. What are your tips and tricks pre-race?
Stick to what you normally do, as much as possible. Try not to change your diet, your equipment or your routine too much.
Know the course, and be prepared but also don't over plan for everything on race day – long races like this can be unpredictable and part of the challenge is dealing with those unexpected things.
4. How do you think this road trip will help you prepare for the race?
The last few weeks are about more specific training with less volume, and lots of rest.
A road trip leading up to Ironman NZ is giving me all of these things. If planned well, you can keep your current training routine, enjoy the journey and be inspired by the scenery. Yesterday I did a beautiful lake swim in the morning, followed by a run to a glacier view point, followed by an ice bath in a freezing cold creek. After refuelling the next few hours were spent in the very spacious car, resting my legs and hydrating, while enjoying the scenery (a great distraction from the nerves that start to come before a major race!).
Tomorrow will be a similar day, but I will ride some of the journey.
5. Where is the best spot to train while you are on the road?
That is impossible to answer! NZ has so many amazing training spots. Personally, I love the lakes. The crystal clear lakes with mountains in the background provide for perfect swimming training. I am about to swim in Lake Tekapo which is stunning!
Usually, the lakes have run paths around them so friends and family can walk while you swim and watch you.
6. Do you have any advice to athletes considering entering this race in 2017?
Enter it! If you are from overseas NZ is more beautiful than the pictures you have seen. Travelling to NZ is not too difficult and travelling around NZ is very Ezi! The race itself is very well run, on a scenic but challenging course, and has excellent spectator support. Taupo's location provides for a great road trip around the event – pick up a car in Auckland and drive to Taupo. After that, explore NZ from your rental car with your friends and family.

Hydrogen Energy: Background, Significance and Future
Nova Publishers, 2006 - Business & Economics - 120 pages
In a world faced with massive and ever-growing energy demands where the environment is an important factor, an array of new technologies and or fuels are becoming a necessity, not a choice. Hydrogen may be one of those alternatives. Hydrogen can be produced from diverse domestic feedstocks using a variety of process technologies. Hydrogen-containing compounds such as, fossil fuels, biomass or even water can be a source of hydrogen. Thermochemical processes can be used to produce hydrogen from biomass and from fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas and petroleum. Power generated from sunlight, wind and nuclear sources can be used to produce hydrogen electrolytically. Sunlight alone can also drive photolytic production of hydrogen from water, using advanced photoelectrochemical and photobiological processes.

In the 2014/2015 season we competed with 2 men's teams: The 1st men's played in the Super 8 League and the 2nd men's competed in the Regional Development League – East. Our first team finished 7th in the league while the 2nd team managed to secure the 2nd position. This means that the first team avoided relegation, while the second team remains on the RDL level, as no promotion to the Championship is possible for any 2nd teams according to the EHA regulations. However, in the coming 2015/2016 season the 2nd men's team is going to compete in the London Regional Development League, which promises more matches for the teams involved.
For the coming season, a women's team is going to compete in the RDL south for the first time in years again. We welcome any new female players who are keen to join us.
We are still trying to build our junior team and invite all players between 11-18 years old to contact the club.

October brings many spooky things with it: haunted houses, Friday the 13th (this year anyway), people in ghoulish costumes, weirdly over-sexualized costumes* and outrageous prices on both of those last two.
But it also brings extra cash back at various Halloween-related stores at Swagbucks. Shop for your costumes or party decor and get extra points known as SB, which you can trade in for gift cards or PayPal payments.
Want an even bigger bonus? New customers who sign up through me will get a $10 bonus on their first shopping trip. That's going to really ramp up your savings! (Pro tip: When you use a GC for your purchase, put the equivalent amount in your bank account so that you're actually saving.)
Of course, there's also extra cash back to be had at Mr. Rebates and Ebates, so be sure to do some comparison shopping before you settle on a particular site. Or if one cash back site is headache enough for you (though cash back sites are easier than you think), then just stick to the Swagbucks Halloween offers.
So click here to see great deals on Halloween stores and get rewarded for things you needed to buy anyway. But do me a favor and stay away from the sexy body bag costume.
Do you need to buy anything for Halloween? What's your costume going to be?
*There's a costume that's a sexy body bag. No joke.

Orange County CoolSculpting ® Blog
The idea behind CoolSculpting ® is very exciting. Nearly everyone that has wanted a better body wished that there was a way to get rid of fat pockets without having to go through surgery. Liposuction is safe and effective, but it's still a surgical technique, and CoolSculpting ® represents an excellent alternative that is free of surgery and without the risk of complications.
When Are You Ready for CoolSculpting ®
That said, as great a technique as CoolSculpting ® is, it is designed for a very specific subset of the population. CoolSculpting ® is not just a liposuction alternative. It is for those at a very specific point in their lives that are in need of the changes that CoolSculpting ® offers.
- At or Near Goal Weight
CoolSculpting ® is specifically for those that are at or near their goal weight, so those that have a long way to go should consider a different technique. It is for those that have problem areas after weight loss, such as love handles, abdomen, and inner thighs, that seem resistant to fat loss. If you have a long time to go before you're going to be happy with the results, CoolSculpting ® may not be right for you.
- No Immediate Rush
The fun thing about CoolSculpting ® is how natural it is. It starts to shed over time, with full results somewhere between 60 to 90 days as your body removes the dead and damaged fat cells. That time delay is generally an advantage because no one will be able to tell you had any procedure done, but for those that are looking to lose stubborn fat fast, CoolSculpting ® may not be the right solution.
- Maintaining Weight Loss
CoolSculpting ® is also for those that intend to maintain their weight loss long after the CoolSculpting ® procedure has completed. That is because those areas of the body still have fat cells, and are going to be prone to fat gain or loss just like anywhere else. If you gain a lot of weight after CoolSculpting ®, you will gain some weight back in those areas as well. Make sure you're at a point in your life where you're willing to commit to weight management.
Try CoolSculpting ® in Newport Beach
Orange County Fat Freeze is the leading provider of CoolSculpting ® in Southern California, serving those in Los Angeles, Irvine, San Diego, Santa Ana and more. If you're interested in learning more about our CoolSculpting ® service or want to find out if you're a good candidate, give us a call today. 949-337-1431.

(hellertown pa.u.s.a.)
1. Please excuse key board work, also i am not a wise ass i am serious. You say: tee work developes muscle memory, let the ball get deep, and then say have the tee locate the ball out in front of the plate.
2. You also say bat weights are great, and then provide an article saying they are counter productive.
3. You then say drop ball drills are no good, only to allow a player to work on timing and tempo. I thought drop ball drills developed quickness into the opening of the forearms.
4. You also say barrel speed is produced by the core of the players body not the wrist. How does the power get to the ball if the wrist do not effectively transfer the power. I don't know if this is a story to you or not but it is to me.
SwingSmarter.com Response:
Rod, YOU rock!!! I love when people challenge me and ask why...I was never good at doing that until High School...parents, coaches, and players all need to get good at constructively challenging ideas or concepts that don't seem right or sound contradictory. I'd love to clear up some confusion with "my story..."
I split the issues you raised into numbers as seen above, so those reading this can match up questions and answers easily.
1. Tee work is the best at developing quality muscle memory at a slower pace, now the question is, do we set the tee and ball out in front of the plate/stride foot, or "let the ball get deep?"
We have to look at these two things in context...we always always always want to set the ball up on the tee out in front of the plate/stride foot because we want to get extended as smart hitters.
The whole game of baseball is played "out front," so we set up a certain margin for error, just think about it...bunting an incoming pitch, fielding a ground ball, and throwing strikes as a pitcher all need to be out front.
We mention letting the ball get deeper on SwingSmarter.com when we're addressing an outside pitch, NOT a ball thrown down the middle and definitely NOT on the inside corner.
Even so, on an outside pitch, we should be making contact with the ball (depth-wise) lined up with our stride big toe on the outside corner, It's still out front, but deeper than we'd address a pitch down the middle or inside.
2. In the article you were referring to on bat weights, I say they're great for "warming up" but NOT good for increasing bat speed.
3. Drop toss drills are really the root of quite a bit of swing faults because the focus is all wrong, on quickness. Sure, we need to be quick to a ball being dropped from 6-7 feet, but not at the expense of good swing tempo. If we're moving faster (upper body) than what our hips and core can do, then we might as well be swinging a wet newspaper.
The focus we should be having is to develop a rhythm with our drop tosser, use a 1...2...3...count to create the timing necessary to execute the drill properly.
Drop tossing isn't a guessing game of "when is he dropping the ball so I can start my swing," this creates too many herky-jerky muscle patterns. I can't repeat enough, how important proper swing tempo is...ask any Albert Pujols, NASCAR driver, Lance Armstrong, Kenyan long distance runner, and Husein Bolt how important tempo is to them.
4. Power is produced rotationally in the hips and core (the hips start the swing -- Ted Williams said this), and transfers the manufactured rotational energy (centripetal force), into the upper body and arms as linear energy (centrifugal force). The arms are only along for the ride.
However, I DO believe in using the wrists as a cue in our "Plan" part of the mental swing. In other words, when I start my swing, I'm thinking with my hands and wrists on being short to the ball because I know my bottom half is going to execute as a result of the hundreds of thousands of swings I've taken developing the proper muscle memory over time.
Rod, I hoped this has helped to clear up any confusion on SwingSmarter.com...if you have anymore questions, I'd be MORE than happy to answer them brother :)

How To Improve Customer Loyalty
Since most marketers have experienced at a certain stage, it is one thing to hook clients, another monster completely to keep them. Improving customer loyalty should be a priority, before you know what happened, or could vanish. To prevent that, here are 25 ways to improve your company's customer loyalty. To construct a solid relationship with your clients, you must share their values. You will need to tell them exactly what your brand stands for if you want customers. However, it deserves mention because service is what avoids, creates clients and distinguishes you from the competition. This is a company like Zappos has generated such a following. But, how do you improve customer service?
Make it simple for clients to get in touch. Display an email address, media, and telephone number account. There'll be days when things do not go as planned. Be honest with your clients about the news that is bad. The company their clients about the circumstance, given updates when Buffer needed a security breach in 2013 and addressed concerns. With numerous social networking platforms, there's absolutely not an excuse for not creating a community. Communities are an efficient way to initiate a conversation and encourage content.
One of the simplest ways to keep in touch with customers is via email. Ask so you can keep customers updated on new products or follow-up following a sale together to ask was their expertise after finishing purchases.
This information may be used keep your customers happy and to increase customer satisfaction. It's a terrific way for customers to learn about business or your product. You can accomplish this simply by exceeding expectations. That is exceeding customer expectations if you say the rep gets within six hours, and a customer service rep will contact the client within 24 hours. It's unbelievably easy to forget your present customers when you're busy trying to reach new clients. To avoid frustrating your customers, be certain that service or your product will not diminish over time. If you get called out or sensitive don't become defensive. Instead, use these programs to take responsibility and solve the matter.
Employees are vitally important for enhancing customer loyalty. Are more likely to talk about their excitement with family, friends, and clients that they are helping. Ensure that your employees have the training and tools to improve the customer experience. Studies have shown that personalized emails have a trade rate 6 times greater than impersonal emails. This might be addressing them sending an offering or a birthday to them a voucher on the anniversary of when they became a client.
Clients appreciate the messages since it can help create an emotional bond that you send them. Let's say you are purchasing a new tv, but have some questions. Would buy the TV in the firm who answered all of your questions or the company who could not give a response to you? You are probably more likely to support. If you would like to attract and keep customers, you need to become a trusted and respectable expert in your area by making certain employees are knowledgeable and sharing your expertise or writing blog posts.
