House votes to require equal number of toilets
The "potty parity" bill, which requires an equal number of men's and women's toilets in new public places accommodating more than 100 people, got overwhelming final approval from the House of Delegates yesterday.
Sponsored by Del. Sheila E. Hixson, D-Montgomery, the measure would require builders of large public facilities to provide as many toilets for women as there are toilets and urinals combined for men.

One Direction and Justin Bieber are set for one of pop's biggest showdowns after the boy band announced plans to release its fifth album on the same day as the Baby singer's new project.
Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Liam Payne made the release plans for Made in the A.M. official on Tuesday (22Sep15) in a 15-second video uploaded to their Twitter account.
The quartet revealed Made In the A.M. is currently available for pre-order ahead of its 13 November (15), while a second track from the album was released on Tuesday.
In the video, Styles says, "As a little treat, can you can download album track Infinity instantly."
The album will be the band's last before Styles and company take a "well earned break" next year (16).
Bieber fans took note of the release date, because the pop star has also earmarked 13 November (15) for his new album, which will feature Where Are U Now and his first U.S. and U.K. number one What Do You Mean?.

In order to obtain a precise impression in the moist oral environment, rapid hydrophilicity is necessary. The silicones used in dentistry should displace the moisture quickly and easily flow into the smallest areas. Aqium 3D meets these requirements. The addition-curing precision impression material is suitable for conventional and digital impression methods. Its properties include optimal hydrophilicity, high ultimate tensile strength, high modulus of elasticity, thixotropy and fluidity.
The impressions made with Aqium 3D are scannable without the need to add powders or sprays, so that it can be used in a digital data-based CAM process chain. Furthermore, owing to a new mixing technology, the user saves 28% of the material per application.
Aqium 3D is available in different viscosities (LIGHT, MEDIUM, MONO, HEAVY, PUTTY SOFT and STANDRARD) and in 50ml and 380ml cartridges. Aqium 3D can be used for all techniques and indications.

Documenting Digital Ideas for Developers
Let me take the role of your hypothetical app developer. Like the Economist magazine says, assume your readers are smart but no nothing about what your business or idea. Explain it from first principles. Don't let us jump to incomplete conclusions or wrong assumptions. Give references to the best practice you seek and explain why they are relevant.
Over the years, ever since I was a budding game developer for Sony and Nintendo I have fought against the idea of standard project design templates. Templated briefs beget templated apps, beget me-too projects and a cleansing of creative and distinct competitive advantage. Perhaps however a checklist can help:
- Entrepreneur and Project background
- Strategic Purpose of Digital
- Digital Business Processes and Data Flows
- Role of AI
- UX Requirements
- Application Architecture
- Recommendations
Even the best of briefs however, can only go so far. A lack of collaboration with your dev team will lead to failure, or at least a less than optimal product delivered in less than totally efficient means.
The means that we like to follow would include developing our own documentation of your project, building it up from first principles and sharing our ideas with you day by day, week by week until we have shared ownership of the best solution that our combined minds can create.
Somewhere along this process we will start development work on essentials.
In doing, so we'll start to ask more questions and come up with new ideas. This is the part of the nature of agile while original visioning docs and strategy will stop us all from going too far off piste.
If you would like a conversation about where to start in writing up a brief for your digital business idea, email me at email@example.com.

Joan Rivers Dead at 81… Gaza Supporters Dance On Her Grave
Joan Rivers passed away today after suffering complications during surgery.
She was 81.
NBC News reported:
Raspy-voiced and brassy, Rivers was always self-deprecating, foul-mouthed and politically incorrect. A master of reinvention, she endured in show business because of her tenacious work ethic — which she credited to her "immigrant mentality."
Comedians typically push the envelope, but Rivers proved time and again that she didn't even see the envelope. To her fans, she was as shocking as she was endearing.
"The way she is funny, she tells the truth according to herself," the late film critic Roger Ebert wrote in 2010. "She hates some people. She has political opinions. Her observations are so merciless and her timing so precise that even if you like that person, you laugh. She is a sadist of comedy, unafraid to be cruel — even too cruel."
No topic was off limits. From Elizabeth Taylor to Queen Elizabeth to even Anne Frank, Rivers loved going after public figures.
"I mock everybody, regardless of race, creed or color," she told the Toronto Star in July. "Every joke I make, no matter how tasteless, is there to draw attention to something I really care about."
The Gaza supporters are already dancing on her grave.
YAY!! Take that for the Palestine RT @SkyNewsBreak: Reuters: American comedian Joan Rivers has died at the age of 81

On Wednesday Palestinian supporters sent hate tweets to her daughter.
More… Hollywood reacts to her death.

Washington Family Magazine : October 2014
12 October 2014 washingtonFAMILY.com WHAT IS A MEMORY OF GABRIELLA THAT MAKES YOU SMILE? Ellyn: When Gabriella was 4, she was struggling to open a jar and said: "I can't open this [expletive] thing!" I said, "Where on earth did you learn that word?" Without a pause she said, "Daddy." I proceeded to wash her mouth out with soap. The following day Mark was doing something and said, "Damn." Gabriella ran and grabbed the bar of soap and stuck it in her dad's mouth. That story always makes me laugh so hard. Mark: I have a great memory of 9-year-old Gabriella sitting at the computer with her 4-year-old brother – she was using a program to teach him math. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PART OF HOSTING FOUNDATION EVENTS? Ellyn: At the end of every event, we always smash walnuts. Usually breaking things is not allowed, but it is so gratifying to smash a walnut to smithereens. I encourage everyone to try it! Mark: I'm so amazed at how many people show up to support Gabriella's memory! HOW DO YOU HAVE FUN AS A FAMILY? Ellyn: For years I have asked my family for once-in-a-lifetime experience gifts. We've done some fun things like going to the zoo, museums and shows. Gabriella's favorite was seeing Les Miserables. Mark: I like playing cards and board games. Then there's always jumping on the trampoline and going to sporting events. WHAT IS YOUR PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENT? Ellyn: In addition to my family, the work our team of volunteers is doing at Smashing Walnuts Foundation. We are carrying on the work Gabriella started and establishing the foundation as a major player for raising awareness of the prevalence of childhood cancer and a source of funding for childhood brain cancer research. Mark: Raising two kids who are complimented at every turn! WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO SMASH WALNUTS WITH NEXT? Ellyn: Steve Case - his brother had brain cancer, and he is a member of our greater community. Taylor Swift has been so kind and would help us reach the youth audience. Bill Gates and Beyoncé would help us raise awareness with two very different but highly influential audiences. Steven Tyler, of Aerosmith whose first wife had brain cancer and, Neil Armstrong, who lost his daughter, Karen, to brain cancer. Francis Collins, head of NIH and Harold Varmus, head of National Cancer Institute - they determine childhood cancer budgets. After the bill signing with President Obama, I gave him a walnut, and he said he would smash it that evening with his family. I believe he did. Mark: George W. Bush and Bono. Jake: LeBron James, David Beckham, Johnny Football, the inventor of Wii®, Mario, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Birdman from the Miami Heat, the stars of WWF and Rocky Balboa! GETTING TO KNOW THE MILLERS – MARK, ELLYN AND JAKE GIVE US A GLIMPSE... Q&A: How Can I Help? We all - no matter how old or young - can help! Become aware – visit Smashingwalnuts.org and check out their great resources. Donate while you're there... it's just a click. Follow Smashing Walnuts on social media for updates on their events – and then participate! Plan a fundraiser in support of the foundation – great option for Scouts and community service! _________________________ Follow up on the Miller 's story at www.FAMILYMagazine.com/curefest GABRIELLA MILLER

Adelaide skipper Taylor Walker is set to return to the AFL after recovering from an ankle complaint.
Walker missed Sunday's 82-point thumping of Essendon after pulling up sore in the dying minutes of the Crows' round 18 clash with Geelong.
The 26-year-old spent time in a moonboot but was cleared of serious damage and is expected to play against Brisbane on Saturday night.
"He did a light session this morning," Pyke said after Sunday's game.
"I think he'll be up running probably as early as tomorrow.
"He has no soreness at the moment which is great so we'd hope he'll train for us Wednesday and be ready to go next week."
The Crows are also confident valuable ruckman Sam Jacobs has avoided serious injury after hurting his left ankle against Essendon.
The 202cm veteran landed awkwardly during a marking contest early in the second quarter of the 22.11 (143) to 9.7 (61) win at Adelaide Oval.
Jacobs didn't return to the field and later emerged on crutches.
"The report at the moment is it's a low-grade strain," Pyke said.
"Once he came off, the decision from the doctor was probably a no-risk policy which is wise in the circumstances.
"Hopefully he can rehab that and give himself every chance next week."
Key forward Josh Jenkins filled in for Jacobs against Essendon but was solidly beaten by Matthew Leuenberger, who finished with 53 hitouts.
Pyke said he would consider sticking with Jenkins if Jacobs was unavailable, with untested rookie Reilly O'Brien a chance to make his debut.

It's after midnight and I still find myself at my computer unable to compose a proper topic on which to write about for my scheduled post tomorrow.
What's funny is that even as I type this out, I'm still unsure of the direction this post will go. But I've learned throughout this writing process that sometimes you just have to work through that mental block.
But is it smart to do so every time?
A combination of longer work hours, lack of sleep, and still being very active physically when it comes to staying healthy and exercising have begun to take a toll. It's not something I'm hypothesizing either. I can feel myself dragging in the morning, pulling myself from bed, mentally coaxing my body to cooperate with my sluggish mind. But it's hard to compare my day job and my reality with my hobby and passion that I do simply for the love. One of them is absolutely needed. I like electricity in my house. I enjoy being able to eat every single day. Heck, having the ability to travel and visit friends during the year is a luxury I most definitely am glad to have. All of these things are possible through employment (and managing finances correctly. But this blog isn't here to talk about that); and no matter how tired I am, it won't stop me from doing what I have to do to support myself.
However, there are some nights where I realize that I would've been asleep an hour or more ago if I didn't make myself do this on a consistent schedule. There are days where I internally shake my head at missing a few daily 100 word entries as well; and there are others where I realize that I have nothing that I want to contribute to my weekly 'Word Vomit' posts, challenging myself to write simply on what comes to my mind at the time (sometimes it can literally be a slightly more organized stream of consciousness that I go back and edit to make sense of).
This blog started off as a public expression of my love for the written word and wanting to contribute to it by becoming a writer and publishing my work, while still balancing the very present realities in my life. That hasn't changed and I'm still figuring it out. But even more so, it's morphed into a very public measuring stick of my progress at developing a writing regiment, overcoming a creative hurdle that forces me to keep a consistent schedule, and my ever growing feelings of accountability; and I take it seriously because of how badly I want to make something of a dream I've had since I was at least eight. I probably take it too seriously at times. I rather be up working through this mental challenge, with something posted on time tomorrow morning that I can look back at and read and be proud of.
So coming full circle back to my original question. Is it smart to ALWAYS force yourself through these writing blocks? These creative walls you sometimes end up on the wrong side of? Possibly not. Just like anything else in life, you need a break at times. Stepping back can sometimes be the best thing to do, allowing you to re-approach with a fresh perspective the next time (it definitely happened with my previous NaNoWriMo story). But I don't feel burned out yet. But I can be smarter about when I choose to write these posts, therefore at least ensuring that I'm not fighting an uphill battle the next day simply trying to be alert and productive.
As of right now, I like keeping these two worlds separate. I look forward to getting home and figuring out new and different ways to present topics on this platform. It doesn't get old; and at night, I love writing my different posts for the week and knowing by the next day at work that it'll be online for anyone to see (still surprised when I receive feedback from others. Won't ever get old). No one is forcing me to do any of this. I'm my own worse boss. But hey, I'm still trying to figure it out. Hope you stay on this journey with me.
Until next time.

Singtel can take a leaf out of SoftBank's playbook seeing that the impending 4th Telco is about to take a slice of its domestic pie. Singtel has been outperforming its two smaller local rivals this year, thanks to its vastly diversified earnings base. Core earnings from its overseas mobile associates such as Telkomsel, Advanced Info Service, Globe Telecom and Bharti Airtel increased 12% to $699 million. Singtel is also building ancillary services around its core business. For instance, Singtel re-launched its mobile payment app, Dash. Customers can use the app on their smartphones to pay for rides on trains & buses, ComfortDelgro & Prime taxis, and for purchases at merchants such as NTUC Fairprice, BreadTalk, Cheers, Food Republic, KFC, Pizza Hut & Watsons.
Another new revenue stream is coming from the cyber security division. The global cyber security market is growing at 9.8% a year. Hackers are becoming more sophisticated and daring as shown by recent cyber attacks on SWIFT, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Panama Papers data leak. For every lock, there's someone out there trying to pick it.
I was originally sceptical of SingTel's ambitious foray into the cyber security business in 2015, but watching the drama series 'Mr Robot' truly opened my eyes. This show is a masterpiece on the dangers of hacking. There is a huge shadowy world out there in cyberspace! Nerve Wrecking!
PwC estimates there are about 100 million cyber attacks every year, including data theft, leakage of intellectual property, corporate sabotage & denial-of-service attacks. That's 200 new cyber crimes committed every minute. The Singapore government wants to build a 'Smart Nation'. However, with greater use of connected devices like smartphones & tablets, comes greater vulnerability. Can a 'Smart Nation' be a 'Safe Nation' too? Will we be sufficiently protected from cyber terrorists? Singtel is poised to exploit opportunities in this rising and urgent demand for cyber security.
The pursuit of new growth engines requires substantial resources. This challenge could be solved soon. There are strong rumours of Singtel planning an IPO for NetLink Trust by 2H2017. If successful, the deal could raise as much as US$2 billion. Singtel will be armed with a huge warchest for pursuing new revenue streams as well as fight against the 4th Telco.

Thoughts on bad posture
Don't know about your neck of woods, but visiting teachers will generally insist on dancing with a good posture during their classes. However, from browsing clips on YouTube of well-known (usually very old) milongueros and teachers, what I saw during my trip to Buenos Aires, and perhaps the little streak of rebelliousness in me(!?), sometimes I really wonder what's all the fuss about having a good posture??
I mean, it is not difficult to find clips of the so-called maestros dancing with an apparently imperfect posture and yet able to move musically and perhaps with a dash of showiness. What's the catch? Why is it that "they" are allowed while "we" (the "uninitiated") are barred from copying their examples to the dot!? I mean, if these famous dancers can manage to dance well with slouched backs, bent heads, etc., why can't I do the same… 🙂
Actually, despite the slightly tongue-in-cheek introduction, my conclusion from all this is that good posture is not just for aesthetics but serves important functional purposes. For me at least, the fundamental principle is simply:
Provided that you do not disturb your partner's axis or balance, slight deviations from the ideal posture are not only permissible but actively encouraged.
I believe that, just as we should walk with our unique personality, so we should dance with as few constraints as possible, or else we will all become mere robots on the dance floor – stiff and straight, able to move to the rhythm of the music precisely, but nothing more.
Re-learning to walk
In March 2007, we organised a series of workshops by Hsueh-tze Lee. After hearing so much about her, finally got some first-hand experiences!
Here are some snippets of thoughts after the lessons, which (the writing, that is…) have stayed in incubation for the better part of a year. 🙂
The look and feel
"It's not how it looks, but how it feels."
Over dinner tonight, this phrase popped into my head suddenly.
I guess it may have something to do with the conversation I had with a friend after the milonga on the previous night?
Basically he was commenting on the quality of the performances he witnessed at a milonga. While the Asian performers were impeccable in their execution and timing, the Argentinian couple which followed the first performance committed some errors here and there. Nevertheless he still preferred the number by the Argentinian couple because they danced with feelings and had more emotional "content".

No. 4 Virginia spoiled Loyola's unbeaten season and probably ended the Greyhounds' reign at No. 1 with a 12-9 victory yesterday at Curley Field.
After a 7-7 first half, the Greyhounds (15-1) rushed their offense and managed just two goals in the second half despite outshooting Virginia, 12-7.
On the other end, the Greyhounds simply could not contain the Cavaliers' Cherie Greer, who scored a game-high five goals -- including three in the second half. A member of last summer's World Cup team, Greer used her speed and knack for hitting the corners of the net to score two goals in the final minutes.

You wake up, roll out of bed (sometimes literally), brush your teeth and go about your day. That's your routine -- you've done it for years and it just feels normal. But like any routine, it can put you in a rut.
Sometimes, revamping your habits and introducing something new into the minutia of your daily schedule is a good thing. In the case of certain habits, it's a great thing! In fact, here are seven things you should do every day (if you aren't already):
1. Make Your Bed
Your mom probably bugged you about your messy bed when you lived at home, so once you left, you let the thing go wild. Besides, you're just going to mess it up again come bedtime anyway!
While we can sympathize with your logic, the fact is that making your bed is an overall good habit.
It takes a mere minute, and it starts off your day with organization and cleanliness (that's a good tone to wake up to). What's more, because making the bed doesn't require conscious effort, your mind can wander and relax- it's a Zen activity.
If having a calm mind and a clean room don't convince you, think about it this way: You bring a date home and things are going well, then you enter an untidy bedroom. Deal-breaker.
2. Floss
You may think, "I brush my teeth twice a day and I never have cavities, so I don't need to floss," but you'd be wrong. Flossing may get rid of food stuck between your teeth, but it does much more than just that.
In fact, the whole point of flossing is to remove plaque. These bacteria are responsible for causing issues such as cavities and gum disease, because they create acid that eats away at protective enamel.
And while brushing your teeth helps, it doesn't get the hard-to-reach areas flossing does. So, to keep your pearly whites intact and prevent the need for fillings (not a pleasant experience), add flossing to your daily routine.
3. Go Outside
It's tempting to fall into the Netflix rabbit hole, especially on weekends when you don't have any commitments, but break from the binge to get outside. Even 10 minutes of outdoor exposure ensures you'll get an adequate amount of vitamin D, a vitamin your body can only make with sunlight.
While fortified foods have vitamin D, the edible kind isn't as potent as the vitamin D you get from daylight. In fact, the National Institutes of Health recommends everyone get at least 600 IUs of vitamin D a day, and going outside can help you achieve this.
4. Make Physical Contact
Not a touchy-feely person? You may be depriving yourself of happiness and stress relief. Research has shown that making physical contact with another person can reduce cortisol levels and blood pressure, helping you calm down.
And you don't just need a hug, handshake, or pat on the back when you've had a rough day-- seek contact every day! Of course, you shouldn't go around grabbing your nearest co-workers. Seek more affection from the people you trust, such as partners, friends, and family.
Communicate that you'd like a little more physical contact- most people are happy to help you feel better.
5. Have Quiet Time
When was the last time you turned off your smartphone? Consider making the next time you do this, today. In this fast-paced world, finding time to sit still and enjoy silence is tricky, but it is beneficial. Getting away from it all lets your mind relax or solve problems you've been putting off. Basically, it gets you in touch with yourself.
You don't have to meditate if you don't want to, but try to get at least five minutes of quiet time a day. You can peer out the window, enjoy a cup of coffee or tea in silence, or review your day.
6. Do Something Fun
It's easy to get caught up with all the things you have to do in your day, from staying late at work, to planning your budget, to picking up groceries. Why not add something fun to your to-do list? Taking time to do something that makes you happy can do a lot for your mental and emotional health.
You don't even have to spend too much time doing that task! Read for half an hour. Watch one episode of your favorite show. Call your best friend. You have plenty of options that don't require too much of a sacrifice.
7. Be Active
No, you don't have to have a hardcore workout every day, but you should be active. That could mean going for a walk on the days you don't make it to the gym, or doing some sun salutations before work.
Or, if you want to get intense, take a class! Yoga, martial arts, Zumba: You name it, there's probably a class for it!
Adding a few more habits (yes, it's doable) to your daily routine can improve your mental, emotional, and physical health, not to mention make a good impression on your dates. Give these things a try tomorrow and you may be doing them every day before long.

[IMGCAP(1)]The tax reform proposal put forward by House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp earlier this year attempts, like other proposals before it, to broaden the base and lower the rates.
One of the ways it accomplishes this is by doing away with targeted tax benefits, which has the effect of forcing businesses to choose which provisions are the most important to them, and therefore necessary to defend.
In the Grant Thornton Spring 2014 CFO Survey, over 1,000 CFOs and controllers were asked which of the following tax benefits were most important to their business: bonus and accelerated depreciation, the research credit, the domestic production activities deduction, or deferral of unrepatriated offshore earnings.
By far the most important tax benefit selected was bonus and accelerated depreciation, with over half (55 percent) selecting it.
"Over half said that was the most important to their business, and it follows that it's the hardest to give up," said Mel Schwarz, a partner in Grant Thornton's Washington National Tax Office.
Although not much movement has occurred on tax reform in Congress this year, it's still a topic that generates seemingly endless discussion.
"We're going to continue to talk about tax reform until it actually happens," said Schwarz. "It could take a while, but the reasons we started down the road have a lot to do with the corporate rate structure here compared to other countries."
"Our corporate rate is higher than in any other country, and we have a worldwide system, whereas most of our trading partners have something much closer to a territorial system, where you in essence pay tax where you earn income and a minimal tax is charged when you bring the money back home," said Schwarz. "Although we provide an FTC [Foreign Tax Credit], that typically leaves
a significant amount of tax to be paid when a U.S. multinational repatriates the earnings."
And that explains why corporate inversions—where a U.S. corporation moves its headquarters to a low-tax jurisdiction while maintaining its operations in the U.S. —are appearing more frequently in the news, according to Schwarz.
"That in fact is the reason we see this inversion issue bubbling up now," he said. "U.S. multinationals are saying they can't continue to operate at a disadvantage with companies they compete against. Either they need tax reform or they need to not be a U.S. multinational."
"That's the message that someone who seeks to leave is really sending," he said. "Ultimately we're going to have to address that, and to address it involves reducing the corporate tax rate and changing to something that looks more like a territorial tax system. Those will reduce federal receipts, so we either have to put everything on the federal credit card or reduce other tax benefits."
Accelerated and bonus depreciation, and the research credit, both expired and are awaiting reinstatement with a host of other "extenders." Although Schwarz feels the research credit is more likely to be re-enacted than accelerated and bonus depreciation, "for 2014 and 2015 the discussion is that Congress will eventually restore both."
Although passage might be difficult during an election year, the likelihood is that Congress will act before the end of 2014, according to Dustin Stamper, director in Grant Thornton's Washington National Tax Office.
"Passing them in 2015 retroactively is one scenario, but there's a pretty good chance of doing it before the end of the year," he said.
The survey also found that bonus and accelerated depreciation were even more important for private companies: 60 percent of private company executives named it as the top tax benefit, compared to 40 percent of public company executives.
"Depreciation affects cash flow for private companies, but it does not affect the reported earnings on financial statements," explained Schwarz. "Privately held companies are very sensitive to cash flow and current earnings, while publicly held companies are more sensitive to the earnings they report to shareholders."
"The survey points out that tax reform is really hard," concluded Schwarz. "There is a tension between attempting to lower the rate and trying to provide the changes that for competitive reasons need to be considered."

Celebrity Smile Evaluation
Celebrity Dentist Dr. Anthony Mobasser has performed thousands of smile makeovers since 1980. In that time, he has worked with a multitude of celebrities from around the globe, ensuring that their smiles are the envy of the world. With his trained, artistic eye, he can instantly recognize what makes a smile so dazzling, or identify what can be done to turn an average smile into a dazzling work of art.
Below are some of his thoughts on today's celebrity smiles.
Angelina Jolie
A beautiful natural, bright smile showing molar-to-molar teeth – what makes it so attractive is because her upper teeth follow the lower lip curvature when smiling. Also, there's a step on her front teeth (the two front teeth are a bit longer than the two side teeth); she shows minimal gum upon smiling and the golden proportion of her teeth are pleasing. However, the only thing that might help her smile as if she had upper right side teeth out a little bit more since they are in at the present. This creates a perfect zygomatic smile, meaning there is no black space or void upon a full smile seen from the front.
Solution: thin veneers, Invisalign.
Sarah Palin
Generally speaking is attractive, has a younger looking smile with a step on her two front teeth, the white color adds value to the total picture. However, the back teeth look a little worn out and discolored, especially her left side, a little length to the back teeth, to follow the lower lip while smiling would enhance her smile tremendously.
Solution: porcelain veneers to make the back teeth longer and even younger looking.
Bruce Willis
He has a natural smile showing molar to molar teeth but could improve on it, possibly due to clenching since the back teeth are getting pretty short. The upper right side teeth are more in – on a straight photo the upper right side teeth are less showing and creating a black space. Also, the color of the front teeth does not match the color of the teeth to the side of them (the central do not match laterals and canines in color and the golden proportion).
Solution: permanent tooth whitening, possibly thin veneers, making the teeth fuller to close the black space showing up on the white smile.
Demi Moore
She certainly does have a full white smile. However, I would tweak the smile a little by making the teeth less bulky and cut down on their length (upon smiling, the upper teeth are hitting the lower lip) so they look a little shorter. Also on the back teeth, especially the upper right side, the crowns or bridges are not in harmony with the front teeth and give the cosmetic dentistry work away.
Solution: cosmetic contouring of smile line or possibly redo some porcelain crown.
Denzel Washington
He's certainly got a Hollywood white smile, but in my opinion, they are a little too white in color. Also, they could be a little shorter in length. If the appearance of the front teeth is a little less bulky and a little shorter in length, this would make a tremendous difference in the overall smile picture.
Solution: To perfect his smile, he needs more transition in color on each tooth in conjunction with translucency incorporated on the veneers to break them up the light hitting his teeth, which can make them seem unnaturally white. Unfortunately, lack of translucency makes the teeth an opaque white, which calls attention to the cosmetic dentistry work performed.
Kobe Bryant
Although I hesitate to evaluate the most talented and brilliant basketball player in the world ever, his smile could easily be improved if the lateral incisors were more proportional to his two front teeth, and there was less crowding on the lower teeth. In conjunction with his gum and lip symmetry, there is also too much gum showing on the side views.
Solution: Gum recontouring, and thin translucent porcelain veneers using Leonardo da Vinci Golden Proportion ratio.
Please contact Dr. Anthony Mobasser at (310) 550.0383 or firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to set up an appointment to improve your smile.

1 Year Blog-iversary!!!!
Wow! It's been exactly one year since my first blog post here at Home Field Fitness - and what a year it has been! I wanted to celebrate with cupcakes (because what else would you celebrate with?) but decided to make them a little healthier and fall-inspired since yesterday was the first day of fall! I used Jen's recipe on her blog Peanut Butter Runner for Spiced Zucchini Carrot Bread. I subbed gluten free flour and left out the nuts. And of course baked them in muffin tins. They are TO DIE FOR. I opted to add frosting to a few - because it's not a birthday celebration without frosting - duh. To be honest though, I'm glad I didn't frost them all! They are perfect without it, and as I'm typing this and licking frosting off my fingers, my mouth actually HURTS from the sweetness. Gah!
While I write this blog as (hopefully) a resource to you for workouts, healthy recipes and a peek into my football wife life, it also serves as a bit of a journal for me. I love looking back on old posts and remembering back to each of those moments.
In honor of my 1 year blog anniversary I thought I would share some of my favorite moments and posts from the last 365 days.
Thanks for joining me on this journey and I can't wait to see what the next year has in store for me and my blog!

We're not in the '80s anymore, and thin round eyebrows have stopped being in trend for quite a while. Meanwhile, strong brows are something to be seen more and more often on the catwalk, on the street, in the magazines. Pretty much everywhere.
But remember how much you loved the tweezers when you were in the 9th grade? Well, that might have left you with some empty space in your brows. But no worries, it can still be undone.
Castor oil is one of the remedies you probably have already heard about, and yes, it is indeed one that works. But the trick here isn't only about the type of oil you're using, but more of how you apply it. Since castor oil is quite think, be careful so you won't apply too much. The point isn't to drown your eyebrows in oil, but to apply it in a thin layer exactly where it needs to be: at the roots. Also, you should massage it into the skin instead of just leaving it there, because all the magic happens in the follicles, not on the length of the hair.
You could apply this treatment either every night or once every two days. Do this in the evening because there are less chances you go in places where there's a lot of dust waiting to stick to your eyebrows and skin. Use this treatment for 2 months and you should be able to see great results.. and restrain yourself from further plucking! I know it's hard, I know you might feel tempted to quite because you think your brows look horrible (i've been there), but just don't. Instead use a brow pencil and draw thin lines to make them look fuller.
Another remedy I tried and know that works is avocado oil. It works pretty much the same as castor oil, but it is easier to massage into skin. If you want to enhance the hair growth, you could also add some vitamin E to the oils before you apply it. Just make sure you make the mixture every 2-3 days, since vitamins tend to break when in contact with air or light.
Also, don't forget to exfoliate the skin underneath and around your brows once a week. And remember, thick eyebrows make you look so much younger. Isn't that worth just 2 months of patience?

7:15 AM | Cold air returns for a couple of days, but warmer again next week and also the following week
Paul Dorian
6-Day Forecast
Clouds this morning then sunshine returns, breezy, much cooler than yesterday, near 50 (normal high is 47, normal low is 33)
Partly cloudy, downright cold once again, still breezy, low-to-mid 30's
Mostly sunny, cold, mid 40's
Saturday Night
Mostly clear, cold, low 30's
Mostly sunny, becoming much milder, near 60
Partly sunny, warm, shower possible late at night, low-to-mid 60's
Mostly cloudy, warm, showers possible, low-to-mid 60's
Partly sunny, warm, low 60's
It reached 70 degrees yesterday along the I-95 corridor from DC to Philly to NYC, but a cold front passed through the region overnight and we'll return to much closer to normal temperatures for a couple of days. Temperatures today will hold to near 50 degrees for highs, and it'll turn even colder for tonight and tomorrow with highs on Saturday confined to the mid 40's. However, as has been the case just about all winter, this cold snap will be brief and a significant warm up will begin on Sunday. In fact, it appears as if this warm up will last for the next couple of weeks for a large part of the country including right here in the Mid-Atlantic.

One clear distinction between us in the modern West and the Homeric Greeks is that they freely admit that superficial traits heavily inform their opinion of what a person says. This is shown in the first book of the Illiad when we we are told of Thersites:
Thersites of the endless speech…knew within his head many words but disorderly: vain, and without decency, to quarrel with the princes…this was the ugliest man who came beneath Ilion. He was bandy-legged and went lame in one foot…his skull went up to a point with the wool grown sparsely upon it…now at Agamemnon he clashed the shrill noise of his abuse…
What is to be hated about this man is that he is ugly and weak, and despite this he questions his superiors. Here is what he says:
Son of Atreus, what thing further do you want, or find fault with now? Your shelters are filled with bronze; there are plenty of the choicest women for you within your shelter, whom we Achaians give you first of all whenever we capture some stronghold. Or is it still more gold you will be wanting…is it some young woman to lie with in love and keep her all to yourself apart from the others?…My good fools, poor abuses, you women, not men, of Achaia, let us go back home in our ships and leave this man here by himself in Troy to mull his prizes of honour…now that he has dishonoured Achilleus, a man much better than he is.
A brief recap of what preceded; Agamemnon has taken the war bride of Achilleus to compensate himself for loosing his own. In response Achilleus has pulled himself and his men out of Agamemnons army. Agamemnon then gives a war speech containing the first written record of a (shockingly bad) attempt to deploy reverse psychology:
Now [Zeus] has devised a vile deception, and bids me go back to Argos in disshonor having lost many of my people…And this shall be a thing of shame for the men hereafter to be told, that so strong, so great a host of Achains carried on and fought in vain a war that was useless against men fewer than they, with no accomplishment shown for it…Come then, do as i say, let us all be won over; let us run away with our shops to the beloved land of our fathers since no longer now shall we capture Troy of the wide ways
Anybody who reads the first two books of the Illiad would see words like disloyal, bully, childish, greedy, shithead fit well in any description of Agamemnon. He is a bad king. So when this bad king is called out for what he is by Thersites what is the response?:
Odysseus swiftly came beside him scowling and laid a harsh word upon him: "Fluent orator though you be, Thersites, your words are ill-considered. Stop, nor stand up alone against princes. Out of all those who came beneath Ilion with Atredies I assert there is no worse man than you are…If I find you once more playing the fool as you are now…[I will] take you and strip away your personal clothing …and send you thus bare back to the fast ships, whipping you out of the assembly place with the strokes of indignation." So he spoke and dashed the sceptre against his back and shoulders, and he doubled over, and a round tear dropped from within him…and he sat down frightened, in pain and looking helplessly about wiped off the tear-drops. Sorry though the men were, they laughed over him happily, and thus would speak to each other…"Odysseus has done excellent things by thousands…but now this is far the best thing he ever has accomplished among the Argrives, to keep this thrower of words, this braggart out of assembly. Never again will his proud heart stir him up, to wrangle with the princes in words of revilement."
Odysseus is an enforcer. We can understand his actions as an attempt as a general to keep order in the ranks. In the context of a 'just war', we could see his actions as noble. But what we see here is violent suppression of shared grievance with the king. Odysseus can twist the situation, associating dissenting ideas with the ugly, crippled Thersites and the violent suppression of those ideas with the godlike Odysseus. By way of his magic the men are tuned back into war mode. They have fresh energy for the fight. It no longer matters what Agamemnon did to Achilleus or how his war has torn a huge chunk of their lives from them. Be like Odysseus and smash Thersites, be excellent and push away those stray ideas that Agamemnon is a man unworthy of your sacrifices. They pull themselves together and march on Troy.
So how does this relate to us? Let me start with an image:
Here we have the modern day Thersites. While a lot things said by the OWS movement makes sense, getting past the fact that its these people saying it is like getting past a six foot wave breaking in front of you. And whilst there was no Odysseus to deliver a silencing welt, there were many arms offering a sharp cain. I see the complete dissolution of this movement as a result of these cainings. Whilst they probably had much support initially- as, i'm sure, did Thersites as he spoke- the superficial things, loud young people, some with pink or blue hair, decrying capitalism with Starbucks in hand, left us with the satisfaction of the Greek soldiers to see them (verbally) beaten into silence. The message was simple; don't be one of these, push away those stray ideas that the established system isn't functioning properly, that's how they think, your not like them, you work hard for honest pay. Suck it up and crack on with your life and its worsening condition. Now, as then, the bad king keeps his bride and continues his war.
But there is a twist. Whilst one radical political movement was settling dust, another began to emerge. This movement could not be contained with cains and septres because this was the movement of the soldiers. And what soldiers like is simple ideas. Ideas like building a large wall to control immigration or banning people from countries with a Muslim majority to stop terrorism. Simple and effective. Let Thersites cry out his protests, their Odysseus had arrived.
No more would political correctness keep violent feelings down. No more human rights for people who want to kill us. Donald Trump would see to it that American would be strong AND flex her muscles. But Trump had another trick to play. He would load some of the OWS grievances onto his stout shoulders, grievances that the soldiers had felt but had pushed aside when they pushed aside the movement of dirty protesters. Now they had a man who turned his sceptre on both Thersites and Agamemnon and it was euphoria.
Both were beaten back into chaotic retreat. Neither had seen the signs of the fury the soldiers had inside. Trump and his supporters took the field where they now hold their position. Skirmishes with the republican establishment and the left have proven the mettle of the man so widely mocked. But like all raging bulls slow, so too does Trumps rampage. The targets that seemed fat and slow turned out to be ghosts and what we are now seeing is what a lack of strong commitment to abstract ideas in an incomprehensible world brings: disappointment, confusion and an unsettling feeling that maybe the world is not as simple as we would like to think it is. What the soldiers really wanted was to give a few hard slaps, teach 'them' a lesson and go back to living in a normal world, improved for their efforts. Now they have a leader who only knows how to use the sceptre or nothing, a poor inventory of skills for such a complicated position.

Why did the mets post a pic with a massive dildo in one of the stalls? pic.twitter.com/qjDGtq3pXn

BOOM, right in your face, there it is, a massive dildo chilling in someone's locker. The Mets have made it a tradition of crowning the player of the game after every win this year, which is the reason for the picture. What the person behind the Twitter account didn't realize, is that there was a giant dildo in the background.
I don't know if it's a clubhouse tradition that they pass this dildo around to the player of the game also, or if it was just a one time prank, but either way, it's hilarious that the Twitter account accidentally picked it up.

Crafts of Christmas Past…
Hello! today I want to drag out the crafts I have created over the last couple of years to share with you. I love creating Christmas crafts. I am much more forgiving of myself and my crafting when it's a temporary item out on display. That doesn't mean that I don't totally fall in love, of course.
I love these crafts of Christmas past , and display them proudly. When guests are over, my minions proudly take them from room to room and talk to them about the crafts that I have created. They stand there and point out what projects are homemade, what items are store bought, and go into detail, "Oh Mommy used a spaghetti jar for that", or "those are just plain wooden birdhouses", or "look at the texture on the snowman heads"… I secretly enjoy the praise.
I made these adorable snowman jars a couple years ago. First I took some spare jars, just a ball/mason jar, and a couple salsa jars, cleaned them out and added the red styro beads. I got those beads at the dollar store. They are a great filler, but fly all over because they are extremely light.
I created the snowmen by taking chunks of styro out of the ball, rounding the balls as I removed pieces. To finish the heads, I added glue and sprinkled them with glitter, created some new noses with Fimo and then used chalk and sharpie to add the faces. They have real stick arms and some scrapbook embellishments. I used some of my Crinkled Ribbon, silver pipe cleaners, holiday decor and more to finish each one individually.
Paper Maché boxes have never been so cute! I created the large snowman for Cricut Circle, but love to share him. He's made with some chalked cheeks, button eyes and mouth. I painted his top hat, with an extra box to complete the hat, with black spray paint. His nose, scarf, arms and mittens are all hand sewn felt, and I detailed his nose with markers. I added the Cricut cut trees, animals, and houses. I added white puff paint to his hat, eyes, cheeks, and the woodland and city scapes.
The little paper maché guy was again, a second top hat added extra and glued on, then sprayed with black spray paint. I also splatter painted him all over. His eyes are buttons, his nose Fimo. Again, his cheeks were made with chalk, I also added snowflakes and icicles cut from the Cricut to him. Lastly, his buttons were added on with rusted jingle bells.
Frames are always a fun way to remember holidays past. I love this pic of the minion all frozen with joy. I covered a frame with scrapbook paper, added some white painted chipboard embellishments that I also added lots of clear glitter to. I added some bead stems at the top, along with some pretty tinsel ribbon, a sheer bow and button.
I also cut some Styrofoam in half, added that to the frame and made a friendly little snowman, party hat and cute scarf included.
Have a frame but no pics? use a double sided frame for more decor. I just added two pieces that I had cut from scrapbooking paper, and then added some bead stems in, along with a couple red velvet flowers. Using foam tape and layering really makes the inserts pop out from the background.
I make my own wreaths, from simple pine wreath forms, I add in ornaments, berry stems and decor picks. My Santa wreath, displayed over the fireplace mantel, looks out over my Santa collection, lights the wall nicely.
I just redid this wreath last year, with music note and pine cone picks, my Santa head stands out. I am still on the search for a ribbon to match Santa's hat to finish the wreath nicely.
I have an affinity for bird houses. They yell at me in the craft store, then I buy them and they sit and sit for years. Last couple of years, I greatly enjoyed fixing them up differently with paint, glitter, berry stems, etc.. to make these adorable little houses. They are grouped on my den coffee table, with a couple wooden trees that I also painted. Hey birdies, I have lots of homes for rent!
I have played around with making snow globes the last couple of years. My globes have the tops up top because I want them to sit sturdily on their bottoms. From a large pickle jar, to a small salt jar, I have created a couple fun projects. I made the pretty snowman in the pink vintage colors jar, added him and created a birds next on the lid, along with soft pink velvet ribbon. I used a paint bucket to add a snow scene, with clear snowflake, on the side and a large bell on the top. I used a dollar store wine glass, some dollar store figurines to create a candle holder that is beautiful and functional. One jar even has Santa in a snowstorm, winds swirling around.
I hope you have enjoyed my Christmas crafts of the past and that it inspires you to create some for your holiday decor!

All _______ are Created Equal?
Mercury Marine has made a point of advertising that not all TC-W3 oils are the same, and they've run a test they say proves it. They took two 15-hp Mercury outboards and put their own brand of TC-W3 in the fuel for one, and another OEM's oil in the other. Then they ran the engines for 100 hours.
They took pictures of the results. Neither oil left much of a carbon deposit, but there was noticeable scuffing on the piston of the engine run on non-Mercury oil. Pictures of these results have been printed in their catalogs and dealer-information packets.
Was the test fair? Ray Donahue, Director of Advanced Materials for Mercury, and chairman of the NMMA oil-certification committee says the fuel, engine condition, and other test procedures were identical, and that the tests were run by an independent lab. And the competitor's oil is a currently marketed TC-W3, although Mr. Donahue said, "it had the highest scuff allowed to be still passable.
But, and here's the kicker. Instead of mixing the oil in a ratio of 50:1 as called for, they mixed them at 100:1 for the Mercury tests. Is running an engine this lean "real world"? Donahue told us some boaters push their engines wide open and create the same situation. An engine can run extremely lean if it's opened up too rapidly, but once running at full throttle, the proper mix is restored.
What does this tell us? first, consumers can create conditions to show the
weakness in their motors and motor oils; and second, that outboard motor oil can have
different characteristics. Both oils passed the standard, and both oils should prevent
scuffing, to a similar degree, when used in the proper ratio and with good fuel. But let's
face it, boats aren't used like cars and the fuel in those tanks can sit for weeks or
One last thing to remember is that the fuels on the market today are designed to be
stored in pressurized fuel tanks with evaporation recovery features. Boats do not have
this feature and over time, octane boosting additives put into gasoline evaporate, leaving
a lower octane rating for the fuel. Here's where quality oils added, can play a bigger
part in the engine protection formula.

|I have two trees, they may be about 2 years old. The branches on the top of the trees did not have leaves nor buds on them last year and this year no buds are on the branches. The rest (bottom) have buds and had leaves last year. Do I need to replace them? Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.
|I does sound as though the tops of your trees are dead. It is possible that one of the uppermost branches can become the new central leader, but that would leave a crook in the trunk of the tree, which would make it more vulnerable to storm damage as it matures. I think I would replace both trees with healthy new specimens rather than wait for nature to take its course.

The Nest Smart Thermostat also notices your timings of getting up in the morning, going to office, and coming home. Above all, it knows what temperature you need at different points of time.
Wall Mounts
When it comes to improving home interiors and giving the overall visual experience a hefty boost, wall mounts are a great option for homeowners is because they are available in a variety of types and designs to serve different purposes.
There are an array of wall mounts for you to choose from, including LCD mounts, TV wall mounts, iPad mounts, and monitor mounts.

Soon from today, we'll be seeing new ultrathin laptops on sale that has different specs from last month. It will now have Chipzilla's dual core and ultra-low voltage chips. Intel's new Ivy Bridge processor will be in 110 different ultrabooks currently on hold. The number is expected to be doubled by Intel after a month for chosen qualified laptops. And what more exciting is that out of 110, 30 are touch-screen enabled laptops, 10 are convertible designs, and the rest are regular mainstream ultrabooks. And an even better news is that, some of those ultrabooks will be released will have a price tag of $699.
With the release of the new Ivy Bridge Processor, the required specs for laptops to be called ultrabooks have been revised. Here is the list of the revised requirements released by Intel:
- Under 18mm thick "for systems with displays less than 14 inches"
- Under 21mm thick "for displays 14 inches or more"
- "Wake in a flash" – from S4 suspend to keyboard interaction in less than 7 seconds
- At least 5 hours of battery life
- (New) "Responsive while active, meaning they will load and run favorite applications quickly"
- (New) Either USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt
- (New) "Come enabled with" Intel Identity Protection and Intel Anti-Theft (excepting certain countries)
- "Powered by Intel Core processor family for Ultrabook"
- (Optional) Touchscreens, WiDi, Smart Connect, GPS, accelerometer, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor
Intel does not just require laptops to be thin and have a long battery life, but also they need to wake quickly from sleep, and faster inputs and storage. In addition, new ultrabooks need to have USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt ports and storage that is "responsive". In these new requirements, we can deduct that users will now experience better multi-tasking and quicker processing.
The new requirements will just be applicable to new ultrabooks with IvyBridgechips. That means that OEMs can still sell existing ultrabooks as long as they still run on the previous chip, the Sandy Bridge processor.
So for those ultrabooks fanatics out there, there is a new release for you to test and use. Don't forget you need a minimum of $699.
