3 Tips For Taking Care Of Your Dental Crowns
If you have a dental crown, you might be wondering if there is anything that you should do to take care of it. Basic maintenance should be pretty easy with your dental crown, but this doesn't mean that it should be ignored. These are three tips that can help you keep your dental crown in good shape.
1. Avoid Certain Foods
First of all, it's best to avoid certain foods if you would like to avoid damaging your crown. Sticky foods like taffy, caramel or chewing gum can grab and pull at your dental crown, which can reduce its lifespan and can cause it to come out of place if you aren't careful. Additionally, you'll want to be careful about biting down on hard candy, ice or other similar objects, which can cause your dental crown to crack or break in some cases.
2. Be Careful When Flossing
Taking good care of the area around your dental crown is important if you want it to last and if you want to maintain good overall oral health and hygiene, and this includes flossing. However, you shouldn't "pull" the floss out from between your crown and your tooth. This could put unnecessary pressure on your crown and could even cause it to come out of place. Instead, you'll want to gently slide the floss out. Another option is to use a water flosser; then, you can easily clean around your crown without worrying about accidentally forcing it out of place.
3. See Your Dentist Regularly
Regular dental appointments are always important, and they are particularly important when you have a dental crown. At your dental appointments, your dentist can check to make sure that your crown is still in good condition. If not, your dentist might have to re-set your crown or replace it. You'll probably find it better to find this out at your dentist's office than to suddenly lose your crown when you least expect it. Your dentist can also answer any questions that you have about dental crown care at your next dental appointment.
Dental crowns are designed to last for a long time, but if you don't take good care of them, they might not last as long as they would otherwise. Luckily, though, taking care of a dental crown is pretty easy. Follow these tips to keep yours in good shape, and talk to your dental services professional if you have any other questions.

The surgical technique of "Perineal urethrostomy" is to create a new urethral opening via the perineum, just above the anus (figure 1), thus avoiding that urine need to travel through the entire length of the urethra (figure 2). Using this technique the male urethra, 12-18 cm long, becomes similar to the female urethra, 5-6 cm long. This change permits that the bladder requires a shorter tract to push out urine.
The surgical technique of Perineal urethrostomy does not interfere with urinary continence and does not require the use of external pads or catheter. The patient is requested to void in a seated position because urinary flow is through the perineal opening and no longer through the apex of the glans. This perineal opening is concealed (figure 3) and is not visible when the patient is in a standing position.
The surgical technique of Perineal urethrostomy is basically suggested in the following cases:
Patients with urethral strictures associated with superficial bladder tumor which requires periodical cystoscopy or endoscopic removal of the tumor. By using the perineal opening, it is easy for the urologist to perform any endoscopic procedure. For the patient, this procedure is painless.
Patients with urethral strictures associated with neurogenic bladder, bladder diverticula, showing high post-voiding residual urine volume. Since the urethra is shorter after the procedure, it is easier to obtain a complete emptying of the bladder.
Patients with urethral strictures who had undergone previous and numerous failed surgical attempts to repair urethral stricture disease, showing a high risk of stricture recurrence rate.
Elderly patients with urethral strictures associated with poor general health conditions in which an extended time under anesthesia in order to perform complex urethral repair is not suggested.

Is it possible to run the TRX 3.3 engine off of a mixture of alcohol and oil?
Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk
Ok thanks! That answers my question.
All Nitro RC fuel is methanol based already with added nitro for these small engines to have power and 2 cycle lubricant for well (lubrication). Just straight methanol and 2 cycle oil, no it wouldn't work there isn't enough engine displacement for it to work correctly.
Probably won't work. The plug is kept hot by catalytic action of methanol on the platinum element.

Once a stagecoach stop between San Diego and Julian during the 1870s' Gold Rush, Ramona has remained a rural hideaway for ranchers.
History: American settlers first arrived in the mid-1800s, and the first brick buildings were erected on downtown's Main Street in the 1880s. In 1900, the town was home to many agricultural ranches.
Today, its fastest-growing crop is grapes. Ramona Valley was designated an official American Viticultural Area in January 2006. The number of boutique wineries exploded from two to about 30 in five years.
How it got its name: Originally known as Nuevo, Ramona was renamed in 1886 after Helen Hunt Jackson's popular 1884 novel about a half-Native American woman who faced discrimination in Southern California after the Mexican War.
Landmarks: Two of the town's first buildings still stand: the 1883 Amos Verlaque House (now the Ramona Pioneer Historical Society) and Ramona Town Hall (1894). Golden Eagle Farm, established in 1972, is one of the premiere thoroughbred breeding farms in California.
Did you know? Bobby Riggs' original "battle of the sexes" tennis match (this one against Margaret Court) was played in Ramona's San Diego Country Estates in 1973.
Notable locals: Boxer Archie Moore ran a training camp: the Salt Mine.
Things to do: Artists open their studios for tours in April. The annual Ramona Country Fair is held in August.

Re: Watering Your Seed(ling)s
Kb5won... I may have been reading too early in the morning but the author seemed to be laying out choices in watering methods. These methods aren't really options -- they're all essential. Wetting potting soil before planting is not something extra to do to avoid watering for a few days after seeding. Try filling a pot with bone-dry potting soil and then pouring water on top. The water is likely to roll right off of the soil instead of sinking in .
Re: Watering Your Seed(ling)s
This is such a false dichotomy. Those aren't three methods. Whenever you start seeds, you should use moist potting mix. Work in moisture by pouring water over the soil, stirring and squeezing to get it evenly as moist as a wrung-out sponge. If you skip this step, very dry potting soil can actually repel water and you'll have trouble getting the plants evenly watered. Gentle misting can help keep the very top of the soil moist when you are awaiting germination. Bottom watering encourages deep roots in your seedlings and helps to ensure that your potting mix is thoroughly moistened on a regular basis. There's no danger of overwatering with bottom watering unless you forget to discard the excess water once your soil is saturated.
Re: QUESTION: Guinea Pig Poop as Garden Fertilizer?
Absolutely. Used Paper or wood pellet bedding from your guinea pig cages is a great addition to a compost bin. If you change your cages regularly, it actually works more as a "brown" or neutral addition to the pile, rather than a "green" nitrogen source since it is way more bedding than poop.

Pygmy seahorses are one of the most tiniest creatures you can find on a reef. Prolific across Indonesia and the Philippines especially, finding a tiny sea horse almost perfectly camouflaged on a sea fan when it is less than 2cm long is no mean feat… and makes us all so grateful for eagle eyed dive guides. But what about taking photos? What impact does this attention have on these fragile beasts and how can photographers moderate their approach to minimise any possible damage.
Dr Richard Smith is undeniably one of the experts when it comes to pygmies. He has spend hundreds of hours underwater observing their behaviours and has taken some of the most remarkable images to back this up. He has recently released a code of conduct. Some of this might seem all too sensible but next time you get ready to snap away, take a moment to think about the poor little critter in your viewfinder.
- Do Not Touch Pygmy Seahorses
- Do Not Touch their Gorgonian
- Do Not Use a Torch/Flashlight
- Five Photo Limit per Diver
- No Artificial Light for Video
- No Night Diving with Pygmy Seahorses
- Beware of the Surrounding Environment

Besides bringing the South Beach Wine & Food Festival to our Magic City, Lee Brian Schrager also will be the reason you crave fried chicken every day of your life. Fried & True: More than 50 Recipes for America's Best Fried Chicken and Sides is out and available now.
So how does Lee Schrager celebrate the launch of his love for crisp yet tender birds? With a launch party at Perez Art Museum Miami and appointing Stephen Starr Events to replicate five recipes he traveled the country to find. While a picture is worth 1,000 words, (the photography in the book is scrumptious) taste trumps sight, always. And now you can celebrate and get a taste of Lee's journey tomorrow at 6 p.m.
We talked to Lee about what fried chicken wasn't included in the book, which birds made event, and what's next for him.
See also: Lee Schrager's Fried & True Is an Ode to Fried Chicken
Tomorrow, May 27, from 6 to 9 p.m., locals can celebrate the forthcoming of fried chicken with the man who made food go from being a commodity to a demand. Martin Hand will provide the music for a Southern-style night as guests get to chow down on five dish renditions from the book. In addition to leaving with a full and satisfied tummy, guests also will leave with a signed copy of the book. If you're lucky, you might even get to pick a bone with Schrager -- just be sure to know your chicken and sides before approaching him.
New Times: Why did you decide to celebrate the launch at PAMM and with Stephen Starr Events replicating five of the recipes?
Lee Schrager: I serve on the Board of Trustees for PAMM -- it seemed like a natural fit to showcase Miami's newest cultural destination. It's a beautiful venue for events, and I like that Stephen Starr is the on-site caterer because I can trust him to reproduce the recipes for the book correctly for the number of people who will be there.
Do you know which five recipes they'll be cooking up?
I know a couple of them, but wanted to be surprised with what they chose to recreate.
What's the biggest misconception people have about cooking fried chicken that isn't true?
That it's difficult to make, not true. If you can read and or follow a recipe you can make fried chicken.
What was the biggest challenge you faced writing Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival Cookbook that you learned from and applied to Fried & True?
Not to ask everyone else what they thought I should be doing and to do what I thought was best for the book in my own mind. With Fried & True, the biggest challenge we thought would be making certain all the different recipes would photograph differently -- and they all did.
What other advice can you offer up to people writing recipe books?
Get an agent!
Is it safe to assume that Chicken Coupe is your favorite Wine & Food event?
I love all my events equally, but there is a special place in my heart and stomach for Chicken Coupe.
What's the most important and unexpected thing through this process? When we were traveling to these places during what we affectionately called our "Cluck Tour," what struck me most was how much love and care everyone put into their process. From celebrated chefs to what might seem to be a shack on the side of the road, it was apparent that everyone had a back story or family history with their fried chicken.
Encountered any new fried chicken since that should've made the cut?
There are plenty of chefs creating great fried chicken that aren't in the book -- the book would never be a finished product if we tried to include everyone! Here in Miami alone there's the fried chicken tacos at Huahua's, Thai-style wings at Khong River House, the chicken & waffles at Eating House...
After fried chicken, what's the next best fried thing?

Breakfast. Working on a new book for April 16, Morning Glory, and looking forward to my other project on donuts.

What do YOU do when a project's deadline is looming and you feel overwhelmed? When your desk has become a mountain of paper and you want to bury your head in it? When you come back from a meeting in which the boss did NOT have kind words to say? You know that feeling… when you want to crawl in a hole and not come out – for days.
One sure-fire solution is: to PRESS PLAY!
The right music really can transform your mind from feeling like giving up to getting up and getting going!
A pivotal study from McGill University demonstrated that your body increases dopamine levels when you listen to music you enjoy! That's the same chemical associated with being in love and eating sweets. Music brings the same joy without any chance of heartbreak or tooth-decay!
Since we're all motivated by our emotions, why not reprogram your I-pod or whatever-your-musical-appliance-of-choice is to include a list of POWER-UP tunes? Download a set of music designed to get you back in the ring and fighting again.
You take your car in to the shop whenever it needs a tune-up or re-alignment, right? So, music can be a way to realign your emotions when you need a little emotional pick-me-up.
Here's my TOP FIVE list of "Get-Back-At-It-Songs":
5. "I Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty – His unique scratchy voice and darling plaintive face make just the perfect combination for me. "You can stand me up at the gates of Hell, but I won't back down." How's that for a can-do attitude! Thanks, Tom.
4. "Roar" by Katie Perry – Sugar pop or not, this song is lots of fun. We got the cd for our seven-year-old daughter for Christmas and she and I sing the anthem together LOUDLY in the car on the way to school. Who can't feel better after yelling out "You're gonna hear me ROAR!" ?!
3. "You Gotta Be" by Des'ree – This song, to me, is true inspiration. Like the words say, "You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together. …" The singer is one beautiful and strong looking woman. She knows life is going to have its ups and downs, but her encouraging theme of hanging in there always works for me. "You go, girl!" she seems to say.
2. "Hit the Road Jack" by Ray Charles – Ray Charles could've sung the dictionary and I would've listened. His recording of this, to me, is one of his best. It's got a rhythm and style that never fail to lift my spirits out of the doldrums. "What you say?!"
1. "Tubthumping (I get knocked down)" by Chumbawamba – Okay, there's a strong 'cure-your-blues-thru-alcohol' theme here that I can't fully endorse, but its gleeful chorus: "I get knocked down, but I get up again, you're never gonna keep me down" is so high-charged and upbeat that I simply CANNOT help feeling better after listening. And it's brought to you by a group named "Chumbawamba" of all names. That sure says "don't take life so seriously" to me. Love it.
So there you have my list. What's yours? What song makes all the difference for you? I hope you have one – or two – or five. Get listening and get going!

I sit in my hotel room with my bags all packed. This improbable trip to Nigeria, born two years ago through a Tweet and a big dream from a remarkable Nigerian businessman named Ayo Owodunni, has come to a successful close.
He and fellow visionary businessman, Ayoola Jolayemi, their wives, the amazing support team of Ayoola's company, SwiftThink, the indomitable Richmond Dayo Johnson, and many others all helped to make this project such a resounding success.
We all believe that Mastering our ABC's (Appearance, Behavior and Communication) goes a long way to making a difference in our personal and professional lives - and the world around us.
Over the past six weeks, our Find Your Edge programs have brought communications training sessions and workshops to businesses, organizations and students.
And last night, two of SwiftThink's best and brightest, Tope and Ibukun, treated me to a special night out on the town.
Without any instructional slide shows, white boards or case studies, we danced, laughed and sang at Isaac Geralds's birthday party.
An incredible evening of good fun held at "Freedom Park" in Lagos. It used to be a prison during British colonial times, but now is a gathering place for freedom of expression. And fun.
Thank you, gentlemen, for all your hard work during our Find Your Edge project, and for taking care of me last night.
And thank you Isaac, for your incredible voice that you so freely gave last night AND at the Student Summit on Wednesday.
Check him singing live my favorite song: "Ijebu Girl!" below!
Thank you again, Ayo, for dreaming such BIG dreams. And thank you, Ayoola for putting the business wheels into high gear. Thank you, Folake and Seyi for being so supportive, sharp and caring. Thanks to everyone of you dear hard workers at SwiftThink. This is only the beginning!
As I prepare to get on the plane this evening that will take me back to the United States – which I haven't visited in three years - I'll be remembering all the inspirational experiences and new friends I had and met here in Nigeria.
I'll be looking forward to seeing my husband and daughter whom I haven't seen since I came here, 34 days ago. I'll be thinking of my dear mommy whom I haven't seen during the whole time I lived in Tuscany. And I also can't help thinking about the people who yesterday boarded Malaysian Flight 17 only to meet with unexpected and preventable tragedy.
Nigerians often tell me how much they love life. Last night's birthday party certainly demonstrated it in a most joyful way.
I love life too - and want to savor and embrace every second of it because as we all know, life is fleeting.
Let's encourage one another and unapologetically dance, sing, laugh and celebrate every moment that we can.
I love you, Lagos. See you soon.
Copyright 2014 Gina London. All rights reserved.
Besides the ubiquitous, "How do you find your time here in Nigeria?" which I answer at least half a dozen times each day, some probing souls are asking me more pointed questions.
Questions like, "How can you relate to us as a white?"
"Don't you think policies in the West will not work here?"
As someone who has worked and trained –and even lived – in a variety of places like Indonesia, Cambodia, Tunisia and Egypt, I welcome each and every question from each and every person. I am never offended when someone is straightforward and honest. It's through the questions, that I can learn more about the person and find ways to overcome his or her concerns.
So, for the record, here are some of the questions and my answers I am receiving here in Nigeria.
I meant to say, I "stood, danced, sang and shimmied" for four hours! The meeting was a party. An encouraging celebration of each other and God. I loved all of it. And yes, I was the only pinky-skinned lady in the hall. After the service, a young man interviewed me for his blog – asking how I got started with my career. I offered some relationship and networking strategies – telling him to make sure to keep in close contact with his favorite professors after he graduates. He hadn't thought of them as possible relationships, only teachers. We connected on that point. He is young. I am not as young. He is male. I am not. Yes, he has dark skin. I do not. Years ago, when I trained an incredible group of Iraqi women running for office, their country was (as is still now) in the midst of chaos and fear. I couldn't relate on that level, but I could understand their desires to balance family and career. We were able to find common ground. And that's the trick. Searching for those common hopes, dreams and fears that link us all together as human beings on the planet, regardless of our different cultures, traditions, backgrounds and even skin tones.
2. Don't you think policies in the West won't work here in Africa? Let's break that down. Which policies? The policy of being thoughtful to your customers, employees or citizens? To considering and providing for their well-being? To holding peaceful, free and fair elections if you call yourself a democracy? Injustices happen everywhere, not just in Africa, and the only way to affect change, is to constantly and consistently expose and push against those injustices. Observers sometimes complain there is not enough investigative journalism here. But as I work with journalists and civil rights organizations in places where there is less than free expression due to a variety of real or perceived dire consequences, I am often impressed there is any level of investigative journalism. I try to encourage the increase, not carp about the short-comings.
3. Can you really teach journalists, you seem very motivational? This was probably my most surprising question, as it didn't come from a Nigerian at all, but rather from an American who seemed more than skeptical; she seemed down right cynical. Whew!
Of course I try to be motivational. Encouraging. Supportive. Inspirational. Call it what you what. To me, it's part of what you do as a trainer, as a coach. First, you must try to establish a connection or a relationship. I would NEVER come into a newsroom or any training room for that matter, and immediately launch into how to write better, or how to manage better, or how to stay on message better. What's the incentive to change, aka work harder, from that approach?
Having once been a working journalist myself, I know that most journalists everywhere are not paid well. We likely got into the field because we liked telling stories. Stories that might make a difference. The way I try to connect with journalists is to re-ignite that flame still burning inside them. To inspire them that their writing - if credible and accurate – might make those differences over time.
I have read in diplomacy circles that relationships are, for some reason, labeled with the jargony impersonal word, "architecture." As in, "how strong is your architecture with journalists??" Whatever the word, the point remains the same. If you don't first connect with your audience on some level, they are never going to care about what you say. It's basic 101 in presentation training lessons for anyone, regardless of your audience's ethnicity or country-origin.
First you connect. Then you can teach, or inform or persuade. It seems obvious and yet it is too seldom done. Perhaps the obstacles seem too high. But if we spend time building the architecture, the relationship bridges, to get over them, I think the outcomes will be worth the effort.
Yours from Lagos,
Copyright 2014 Gina London. All Rights Reserved.
"You are welcome." "You are welcome." In the three days since I landed in Lagos, this is the phrase I have heard most.
From the gracious team at the luxurious Wheatbaker Hotel where I am fortunate enough to be staying -
- to the esteemed journalists and managers of various media outlets including The Nation and Business Day newspapers and TVC and The Channels radio and television networks.
I am visiting Lagos for the first time. Working with my local strategic partners, Amplio Consulting and SwiftThink Limited, I'll be conducting a series of strategic communications training sessions and workshops between now and July 18. We kick-off activities tomorrow with the Find Your Edge Summit here at the Wheatbaker.
On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday between 9AM-5PM participants will have an opportunity to practice real hands-on techniques and develop new skills from me, veteran CNN correspondent and international communications consultant, and my new friend and colleague Richie Dayo Johnson, a local and proven leader in communications training, etiquette and business savvy. The Summit is open to the general public and registration is ongoing. Click here to learn more!
This morning, I spoke on Radio Continental to explain why communication counts – especially in the digital age where you can be instantly judged by a global standard. And later, I met the talented hosts of "Your View," on TVC to share some secrets of better communications to get results. At every place, the people have been warm-hearted and congenial. These first three days have been very rewarding.
Yes, it's true we have driven through scenes of poverty. And yes, it's true I have a machine-gun toting federal police officer riding at all times in the front seat of my car to stem off unwarranted stops.
But one by one, individual by individual, I am meeting an incredible number of accomplished people. Nigerians who are proud of their country and are committed to making it a better place.
I feel very welcomed indeed.

Defense Contractors Cyber Expertise Behind 'PRISM' And 'Boundless Informant'
A string of U.S. and international defense contractors helped in developing the now infamous 'PRISM' and 'Boundless Informant' systems that spy's on American and international internet and telephone traffic. Defenseworld.net took a close look at the contractors which supplied equipment and expertise to the U.S. National Security Administration (NSA) to help develop the all-pervasive spying technology. Among the NSA's top contractors are Booz Allen Hamilton thanks to its wide range of intelligence and surveillance expertise. Another top contractor heavily involved [lees verder]

Raytheon's "Riot" Social-Network Data Mining Software
A video touting software created by Raytheon to mine data from social networks has been attracting an increasing amount of attention in the past few days, since it was uncovered by Ryan Gallagher at the Guardian. As best as I can tell from the video and Gallagher's reporting, Raytheon's "Riot" software gathers up only publicly available information from companies like Facebook, Twitter, and Foursquare. In that respect, it appears to be a conceptually unremarkable, fairly unimaginative piece of work. At [lees verder]

How to Shrink Fibroids Naturally Without Medicines or Drugs
The only treatment for uterine fibroids that will exactly tell you how to shrink fibroids naturally is Natural Uterine Fibroid Cure. Trust me this is something I discovered the hard way. Continue reading to fully understand how I treated myself…
Dear Friend:
Having experienced fibroids, I know the pain and its unpleasant symptoms. By pain I do not mean just the physical pain-uterine fibroid symptoms often tend to interfere with our day-to-day interactions with family, friends and our partners. Some of the common symptoms of fibroid tumors in uterus include abdominal pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, urge to pass urine frequently etc.
In extreme cases fibroids are capable of causing the abdomen to bloat making the woman look pregnant. The abdominal pain in such cases can be very severe and unbearable. Personally I was of the opinion that nothing could be worse than a health problem for which you just can't walk to a doctor for immediate treatment and instant relief.
What actually causes Uterine Fibroids?
I did a lot of research to figure out how to shrink fibroids naturally. In the process I learnt about some of the known causes of fibroids, its symptoms and a few of the popular remedies used to treat uterine tumors. I am going to share all that information with you here.
Fibroids are muscular tumors that grow on the wall of the uterus or the womb. Usually benign, these grow as a single tumor or there could be many of them in the uterus.
The exact cause of uterine fibroids is still a mystery. However research studies have indicated that estrogens especially estradiol, promotes the growth of fibroids in majority of women. Post menopause fibroids disappear automatically. Estrogen levels often tend to increase during the early menopausal years just before menses ceases, causing the growth of fibroid tumors in uterus.
What did I try to cure Fibroids?
I paid multiple visits to my gynecologist when I realized my uterine fibroids symptoms. My doctor prescribed pills for both insertion and oral intake. What I found was that these pills merely gave me temporary relief.
None of it was permanent cure for fibroids. Immediately after taking the medicines I used to get relief for a brief period of time. However this relief was always short lived. My symptoms would return after some time and eventually I was fed up of the whole thing.
How I found the plan to shrink fibroids naturally?
Initially I was hesitant or rather awkward to freely discuss about fibroids with my women friends. Eventually when I was not left with too many options, I decided to have a heart to heart talk with a close friend of mine. To my utter surprise I found that she too had suffered from uterine fibroids some years ago and had managed to shrink it without undergoing fibroids surgery.
She recommended that I too go in for the same natural fibroids cure that gave her permanent relief without any adverse side effects. She provided me details of the latest version of the product and urged me to give it a try.
On my part I had a lot of doubts. I wondered how natural remedies can produce results when modern medicines had failed to do so. This got me thinking and I decided to do some research on my own. I looked up on the internet and got details of the product recommended by my friend.
It was a very informative website and I was able to relate to it almost immediately. Some of the uterine fibroid symptoms mentioned therein were quite familiar to me. What I learnt was natural fibroids treatment primarily concentrates on getting rid of the root cause of fibroids.
I went through the product site in detail. There were many testimonials from women who had suffered from fibroids and got rid of it by making use of this product. The product comes with a total money back guarantee. I realized that I had little lose and probably something to gain by making use of this product. I made up my mind and decided to give it a try.
After downloading Stop Fibroids by Shola Osla, a Kinseologist and alternative practitioner, I followed her 7 step plan on how to shrink fibroids naturally. This plan helped my uterine tumors to shrink over a period of time. I am now totally free of fibroids. The best part of the whole experience was that I was able to cure fibroids without surgery or drugs, simply by using natural methods.
Why I am recommending this product?
Uterine fibroids respond well to natural remedies. It is rarely a life threatening condition because of which there is no risk involved in going in for natural treatment.
Now that I don't have uterine tumors I am confident that uterine fibroids can be cured permanently by following Shola Oslo's Stop Fibroids e-book. Normally I do not easily recommend products even to my close friends.
However in this case I benefited a lot. I gained much more than what the product website mentioned. It can definitely be used to get rid of fibroids naturally. Being completely natural and devoid of side effects this plan worked for me. I sincerely hope it works for you too. In case you seriously wish to know how to shrink fibroids naturally CLICK HERE.

Top Gear's Vauxhall Astra sells for a reasonably high price
The Top Gear Vauxhall Astra has sold on eBay for what is a reasonably high price – but the good news is it's all for charity.
The POWERRRRR Red Vauxhall Astra – which featured as Top Gear's reasonably-priced car – was driven by the likes of singer Olly Murs, actor Aaron Paul and funnyman Jimmy Carr.
After a bidding frenzy involving 27 different eBayers, the virtual hammer came down at a price of £17,800, far more than you'd expect to pay for a 1.6-litre Vauxhall Astra of 2013 vintage. But then this is no ordinary Astra.
[bctt tweet="The Top Gear Vauxhall Astra has sold on eBay for what is a reasonably high price."]
The Vauxhall Astra was the final car to be used for the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car feature and it followed the likes of the Suzuki Liana, Chevrolet Lacetti and Kia Cee-apostrophe-dee. It's unclear whether or not the feature will return for the new series of Top Gear, set to be hosted by Chris Evans.
The Astra Tech Line – which has covered 2,908 tough miles – has been sold to raise money for automotive industry charity BEN. The airbags have been disabled to make room for the roll cage, with the eBay ad stating it is not type-approved for use on public roads.
Given the 'significant cost' of converting it back to road use, we suspect the Astra will be used for promotional or display purposes. Top Gear challenge cars have been on display at the Beaulieu Motor Museum.
The number of bids – 67 in total – highlights the ongoing appeal of Top Gear, as to the untrained eye this is little more than a regular Vauxhall Astra. In fact, between £8,000 and £10,000 should secure you a very similar Astra that you can actually drive on public roads. You'll just have to pretend Will Smith and Rachel Riley perched their bottoms on the driver's seat.
[bctt tweet="You'll just have to pretend Will Smith and Rachel Riley perched their bottoms on the driver's seat."]
But don't worry if you missed out, you can buy the new seventh generation Vauxhall Astra from £15,295. It's a far better car than the old model and you'll even get to play with the really-rather-good OnStar personal onboard assistant.
Just don't ask the operator for the quickest line through Gambon or whether you should lift off through the Follow Through.

I don't know about you, but I am rarely influenced by a review for a film that I've already decided that I want to see.
How then do I make the decision in the first place, if not by reading the opinions of so-called experts whose opinions I value and trust? First, I take into account the alchemy of cast, director and screenwriter, their track records, news surrounding production, and of course, the plot, especially if it's based on a book I've read and loved. The coup de grâce is the trailer.
If I enjoy a movie's trailer, the probability is high that I'll give the actual film a chance, even if any of the above elements are weak.
Does this formula ever backfire? Pffft. Certainly. How many times have we seen a movie where all of the best jokes or action scenes were in the trailer? I've also paid good money to see films that ticked all of the boxes and still turned out to be real turkeys. The Unbearable Lightness of Being (or The Unbearable Length of This Movie, as a friend and I refer to it) comes to mind. Great book – check. Great cast, including Daniel Day Lewis, Juliette Binoche and Lena Olin – check. Great director (Philip Kaufman) – check.
Great trailer – check:
Add all of that together and what do you get? Nearly three hours of utter boredom that I will never get back. (You may disagree. Roger Ebert gave it four stars back in 1988.)
You want a more recent example? There are plenty, but how about Dreamcatcher? It was directed by Lawrence Kasdan from a novel by Stephen King with a screenplay by William Goldman, starring Damian Lewis, Jason Lee, Timothy Olyphant and Morgan Freeman.
The trailer:
Seriously, doesn't the Castle Rock logo combined with all the rest give you certain expectations, cause goosebumps or at last instill a bit of curiosity? Dreamcatcher wasn't based on King's best work, I'll grant you, but astoundingly, this confluence of talent managed to make from it something totally suck-tacular.
At any rate, when thinking about a movie's trailer, the opposite is also true. It is said that a film is truly created by the editor. After everyone else has done their jobs, it falls to the editor to arrange the pieces of the puzzle to tell the story and deliver the finished product. The trailers for these products are designed to sell them. The editors of the trailers have to then parse out that finished product into small digestible bits to feed to whatever audience the distributors of the product want to reach.
If, after the first viewing, usually in a theater in front of a movie I have already paid to see, which leads these marketing wizards to assume that I will want to see this new one, I turn to my companions and shrug "meh", those wizards have almost certainly already lost me.
If the trailer for a film fails to elicit the intended response, whether that be to laugh at a comedy, feel the beating heart of a love story or the least little bit of dread or curiosity for what comes next in a thriller, I'm probably going to pass, unless word of mouth manages to change my mind. But, no amount of good press or even the urging of friends I trust can get me to see a movie after the trailer has made me cringe in embarrassment for the participants and/or left me with the desire to never have to see it again. (Which pretty much ensures that I will have to see it every time I turn on the television, but I digress.)
All of this brings me to one of this weekend's new releases, Snatched. It's nominally a mother-daughter buddy comedy let loose just in time for Mother's Day. It stars Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn, both gifted comediennes, although they couldn't be more different in style or tone.
I love Amy Schumer's comedy. She's original and fearless and her standup is hilarious. Goldie Hawn is an icon. Read her name and you know with 99% certainty what you're going to get and that's okay. She carved out that niche and she owns it. Sure, there have been some misfires during the span of a forty plus year career, but when she was on top of her game like she was in Foul Play or Private Benjamin, Goldie Hawn was a joy to behold and so were the movies. So what the hell happened?
Here's the trailer:
Destined to make a pile of cash big enough to be seen from space, it's safe to say that none of my dollars will be included. I wouldn't see this movie on pain of death. This movie looks more like a trainwreck than Trainwreck (which was actually pretty good. Another exception that proves the rule, but the trailer didn't get a cringe, only a "meh", and I saw it on cable.) I had numerous opportunities to see advance screenings of Snatched free-of-charge, and was never even tempted.
Reviews for Snatched are beginning to emerge online and most seem to confirm my assessment. My favorite comes from Variety's Owen Gleiberman. For whatever it's worth, I don't always agree with him, in fact I usually refer to him as a curmudgeon who seems to be getting crankier with age.
Excerpt from his review:
"The movie is a jungle-set chase comedy that has many antecedents, from "Romancing the Stone" to "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason," but really, "Snatched" is the generic version of a latter-day Paul Feig comedy — which is to say, it's an attempt to shoehorn Amy Schumer into the action-meets-yocks-meets-sisterhood formula of movies like "The Heat" and "Spy." …"Snatched" is a flashy piece of product. It doesn't quite try to turn Amy Schumer into the new Melissa McCarthy, but it reduces her all the same.
… The movie also looks about 10 times better than it needs to; Florian Ballhaus' cinematography might have served an elegant Amazon Forest thriller. You could say that there's no harm in Amy Schumer doing a picture like this one, and maybe there isn't, but she's one of those actresses who has the potential to bring a rare full-bodied comic voice to movies. That's a quality that shouldn't get thrown overboard."
You can read the whole thing here, but to summarize, it would seem to bear out the theory that even with a good pedigree, the finished product can ultimately be less than the sum of its parts. We have a lot of entertainment choices these days. If we're going to leave the comfort of our homes and fork over the money for a first-run movie, we need to be able to make informed decisions. By all means, take into account reviews, however they are delivered, by people whose opinions you trust, but ultimately, go with your gut. Trust the trailer.
By the way, that last line of Gleiberman's review was a dig at the film Overboard, in which Goldie Hawn does what she does best, and while it's not great, it is one of my favorite guilty-pleasures. It's one of those movies that I own on dvd and still stop to watch at least a bit of if I happen to run across it on tv. I originally saw it at the theater. Why? Because the trailer made me laugh. Out loud.

Random breath testing has been common across Australia, including in New South Wales for decades, but what has been unusual until recently has been mobile drug testing (MBT).
Mobile drug testing in New South Wales could be carried out randomly on stopping you, or you could even be pulled over to an official testing station. Then it's a simple mouth swab to test your saliva for the presence of THC.
So with the risk of getting found with THC in your system at the side of the road, is anything you can do to be confident of passing a mouth swab test as a resident of New South Wales?
Why Roadside Drug Testing In Australia Is Now Common
The bottom line here is that the Australian National Institute on drug use has conducted studies that have found that people high on cannabis are just as likely to cause an accident somebody who is drunk, and twice as likely as somebody who has taken nothing.
Now I'm advocating you get smashed and then go driving, that's just irresponsible, but what I'm saying is it's not fair that you can get pulled over and test positive for having THC in you when you haven't smoked for days for example.
In one case in New South Wales, a guy was finally acquitted after he tested positive for cannabis use nine days after he had actually smoked. Now obviously he got off in the end, but look at the stress and hassle he had when he had actually done nothing wrong behind the wheel of a car. You simply don't want to be in that position.
So to level the playing field and make sure that responsible users aren't getting slammed in jail or given huge fines, let's find out how to pass an oral drug test every single time.
Roadside Drug Testing NSW: How To Pass An Oral Drug Test
It's actually really easy to pass an oral drug test every single time if you are pulled over for roadside drug testing in NSW.
All you need to have in your car is a capsule of Oral Clear. It's saliva neutralizing gum which works for up to 30 minutes.
When you get pulled over, when you realize you are being directed into a random mobile drug testing lane all you have to do is grab the capsule of oral clear neutralizing gum, pop in your mouth and chew it for 30 seconds and then swallow it. You will then be clear of THC in your saliva for up to 30 minutes.
And the beauty of this is that it doesn't even matter if you are seen doing it. There is no test that can prove you have taken it, and no way that they could charge you with anything. You're 99% safe from them even realizing that it exists.
Conclusion: Beat Roadside Drug Testing By Being Prepared
So it really is that simple to pass an oral drug test if you are pulled over under the increasingly common roadside drug testing program in NSW.
Oral clear will work with even heavy users and is a great insurance policy against getting stripped of your license, been given huge fine, or even imprisoned.
It's not cheap. It cost about US$90, but there is a buy three and get one free promotion usually, and that really is not expensive insurance to have when being caught could destroy your life.
You can order Oral clear from their official website.

Verse Of The Day: As long as an heir is a child, he is no better off than a slave, even though he owns everything. Galatians 4 : 1
LISTEN: It is expected of every believer in Christ to take up responsibility to gain spiritual maturity and wisdom to know what he or she ought to do to possess his or her God-given possessions. God has blessed us with all manners of spiritual blessings through Christ, but we need to be matured in our minds to be able to understand what God has done for us through his Son Jesus Christ. No doubt, believers in Christ are privileged for being children of God, but until they grow up in their spiritual understanding, moral principles and obedience to him, they are likely to wallow in miserable and pitiable conditions. Our verse of the day is an encouraging word for us, and to challenge us to action; and it says, "As long as an heir is a child, he is no better off than a slave, even though he owns everything." (Galatians 4 : 1). Not everyone who owns everything can enjoy everything.
Beloved, do you know that you will hinder yourself from experiencing God's blessings and favour if you choose to remain spiritually immature? Like children who would always do what their parents warned them against, and be denied of their rights and privileges by their parents for their rebellion and disobedience as measure to teach them morals and discipline; so also, when you willfully disobey God, you will limit yourself. Like the heir (one who inherits or is entitled to inherit property), would forfeit his inheritance for refusing to mature in all aspects of life, you will not possess your God-given possessions. Disobedience to God will keep you from your God-given possessions and blessings. When the Israelites abandoned their God in favour of pagan gods, God also abandoned them and caused them to be carried away to Babylon as captives. They forfeited their good land, the land of Canaan, and served as slaves in a strange land for several years, because they chose not to grow up morally and spiritually.
However, when they repented of their rebellion, God reassured them of his deliverance and prosperity. Beloved, are you prepared to possess your God-given possessions? Are you ready to live in the realm God originally made for you? Then learn to maintain a good and sustained relationship with God and determine to be matured in your mind.
Having read today's devotional, what is expected of you?
1. Do not forget that success can only be attained by doing the needful and doing it right.
2. Do not be ignorant of your spiritual blessings, for ignorance will certainly keep you from your God-given possessions
3. Maintain a relationship with God and determine to commit to its growth.
4. Never limit yourself through bad actions and thoughtless decisions, rather surrender to divine guidance.
Daily Task: Learn to maintain a good and sustained relationship with God, and watch him bless the works of your hand.
Daily Reflection: You will hinder yourself from God's blessings and favour when you choose to remain spiritually immature. And when you willfully disobey him, you will destroy yourself.
Daily Prayer: Blessed Father, I thank you for your word today, help me to grow up spiritually and to seek you daily and possess my possessions, in Jesus' name, amen.
Daily Prophetic Declaration: Today, I decree over your life, whatever may have hindered you from possessing your God-given possessions is destroyed henceforth. Go and possess your possessions, in Jesus' name.
Daily Quote: Until the mind is matured nothing serious can be achieved. Hence, not everyone who owns everything can enjoy everything.
Today In History: May 5, 1494. Christopher Columbus lands on the island of Jamaica, which he names Santa Gloria.

This past month I've been very focused on sin care. The reason is that I haven't worn foundation since I came back home from Brazil. The last time I wore foundation was on New Years Eve, that's an entire month of not wearing any foundation. And you know what? I feels amazing! But the secret behind not wearing any foundation is having good skin, so that's why my focus has been on skin care.
BIODERMA | Sensibio H2O Make-up Removing Micellar Solution
This amazing water has helped remove any impurities to keep my skin clean and clear. Also, it's a total timesaver. I wrote a review on this baby just last week, you can read it here.
CLARINS | Extra firming Night Cream
This is my second jar of this night cream. It's my absolute favorite of all the night creams I've tried. It's also the most expensive one. Typical isn't it?. The only thing I don't like about this night cream (except for the price) is that it comes in a jar. Other than that it helps hydrate and plump up my skin. I wake up looking less puffy and tired. Who doesn't love that? Plus, it's anti-aging.
SENSAI | Silk Peeling Mask
This is a new favorite. I've only been using it a couple of weeks. This is unfortunately also expensive (why does skin care have to cost so much?). It's a chemical and a physical peeling mask. It helps remove the uppermost layer of dead skin and to hydrate. This peeling does not tingle, sting or leave you looking red. At least not on me and I have sensitive skin in some areas (around my mouth and nose). You can use it up to three times a week since it is very mild.
THE BODY SHOP | Oils of Life
I bought this at the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris when I was waiting for my flight to Stockholm. I believe it was much cheaper than buying it here in Sweden. But this is a great hydrating face oil. I use it both day and night since the cold weather dries out my skin. If you have oily skin, do not be afraid to use a oil serum, trust me. With this particular oil I would't recommend using more than three drops with each use, more drops that that and it broke my skin out. Also, this oil contains a lot of perfume, so this probably isn't good for those with sensitive skin. I don't feel any stinging or tingling on my sensitive areas, but I'm not super sensitive.
MAC | Blush in 'Coppertone'
My favorite natural looking blush at the moment.
L.A GIRL | PRO Conceal HD Definition Concealer in "Yellow"
A great, cheap color corrector. This has been a life saver for me now when I haven't worn foundation. Since I have sensitive skin around my mouth and nose, I tend to become red around those areas. This yellow corrector helps to cancel out the redness. I have a very yellow undertone to my skin, so when I blend this out with my beauty blender you can't tell I've used it on my face. I love this corrector. It's cheap, creamy, blendable and long lasting. I bought my first tube when I was in New York last July and I'm still using that tube. It's been almost seven months (fyi, it's note the tube pictured above)!
What products have you been loving a little extra lately?

April 2011
Screening for bowel cancer involves completing a faecal occult blood test (fob test), which looks for traces of blood in the bowel motion which could be, but are not always, a sign of bowel cancer. John's test was positive and he was therefore referred by his GP for a colonoscopy.
"I wasn't worried because I was 65 and taking very good care of myself so I had no reason to think anything might be wrong. However, during the colonoscopy they found three very large growths, which are called polyps, on the inside of my bowel."
The colonoscopist removed the polyps. "My doctor's words to me were 'You're a very lucky man'. I was a bit surprised and taken aback and asked 'Why do you say that?' and he said, 'Well, the polyps I removed were right on the verge of becoming cancerous.'
"If I hadn't completed the fob test I probably wouldn't have known they were there until it was too late."
Now John strongly encourages everyone 50 and over to screen for bowel cancer.
"I'm living proof that you don't always know when something's wrong, but if you find it early enough, it could save your life. I think the biggest change for me is it's made me so aware that I could have a pre-cancerous polyp or bowel cancer and have no sign that I had it. For me that was quite a frightening realisation."
Cancer Council recommends screening using a fob test every two years from the age of 50 for people without symptoms and without a significant family history of bowel cancer. It is important for those experiencing symptoms, and those with a close family history of the disease, to make an appointment to see their doctor.
"For me it has really just made such a difference to my life. If I hadn't had that bowel screening kit and returned it I could be seriously ill with a life threatening cancer."
Victorians 50 and over can purchase a fob test at a cost of $30, or $22 for pensioners and health care card holders, through the Cancer Council Helpline on 13 11 20 or online at www.cancervic.org.au/fobt.

Rights Respecting Schools Award
There is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children. There is no duty more important than ensuring that their rights are respected, that their welfare is protected, that their lives are free from fear and want and that they can grow up in peace."
Kofi Annan, former Secretary-General of the United Nations
The Rights Respecting Schools Award is an initiative created by UNICEF, the world's leading organisation working to protect and promote children's rights. In 1989, world leaders decided that children needed a special rights convention because people under 18 years old often need special care and protection, that is different from adults.
This led to the development of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child which relates to the treatment of children worldwide, what they need to survive, grow, participate and fulfill their potential. This applies equally to every child, regardless of who they are, or where they are from.
The Convention guides everything UNICEF do, and includes a list of articles that say what countries must do so that children can grow up as healthy as possible, learn at school, receive protection, have their views listened to, and are treated fairly. The Rights Respecting Schools Awards recognises achievement in putting these articles at the heart of a school's ethos and culture to improve well-being and develop every child's talents and abilities to their full potential.
Children and young people play an active role in their school becoming rights-respecting, and participation runs through all aspects of school life. For children and young people, knowing that they have the right to be heard in decisions which affect them boosts not only their sense of security but also their self confidence. This opens the way to developing and applying the skills, language and concepts that allow them to realise their rights and to advocate for the rights of children everywhere.
Commitment to the final assessment at Level 2 can take up to four years and at Burdett-Coutts, we have begun our journey towards the the first stage: Recognition of Commitment. Here the headteacher and school leaders commit to becoming a right-respecting school, with the children working with adults to decide how to develop a whole-school rights-respecting approach.
We are very excited to be working towards our accreditation and have already completed the following actions:
- Introduced the rights at assemblies in the Autumn Term (September – October 2015)
- Displayed a copy of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child poster as well as a Class Charter in every class
- Completed a Class Charter learning walk (January 2016)
- Assembled a steering group from each class year to meet each month
- Collected and analysed pupil questionnaires from the steering group
- A representative of the steering group has presented to parents at a coffee morning
- Two prominent boards displaying the children's rights in the Ground Floor and the First Floor
- Pertinent articles displayed in relevant areas around the school
The steering group will continue to meet every month and we will be planning more opportunities for our pupils to learn about the Convention and its importance to the well-being of children and young people locally and globally.

A variety of other occupations complete the High 20 Record, offering a wider range of working options in New Jersey. I guess I would not rely hiring your personal grads as a mark of range, or of special concern for Canadian PhDs (particularly contemplating the only other Canadian PhDs they've are two from Western). The variety of shelters and beds also retains reducing all whereas the number of homeless folks also exhibits us that some people will inevitably be left with out jobs (and grow to be more likely to develop into homeless) when the variety of adults in our country exceeds the variety of jobs that exist. It is a helpful skill, though we depart the large jobs to our neighbor who has an electrician business and understands Nineteen Twenties houses.
I tried to vote in your poll – here and on another lens – however it would not work for me. It must be incredibly tough for homeless folks to get jobs with a lot in opposition to them. The one ones that I do know of which might be clear, are normally battered girls shelters with lockdowns.I'm searching for a safe emergancy haven myself in Portland Maine till I can get into the Victoria Center. Forest City's timing was strategic; it was already planning to upend that 50/50 pledge by swapping most of these 10,000 fantasy office jobs for housing.
