Release Date: May 16, 2016
Publisher: Republic Ink
Genre: Middle School / Fiction / Action Adventure
Series: The League and the Lantern, Book 1
Oh, my! This book is fantastic! Fans of Harry Potter and Percy Jackson are going to love this one! Trust me, this just could be the next big thing. It's awesome. It's geared for middle schoolers (ages 9-12) but even adults will love it. Be sure to stay tuned until the very end because I'm giving away a copy!
It begins with a 12-year-old boy named Jake Herndon. He's the kind of kid who is trying to figure out who he is and where he belongs. He's a genius when he wants to be. It's summer and Jake is anxiously awaiting his seventh-grade year at a new school for his new do-over. This all began with his seventh-grade sleepover with the new school at a museum. Except it goes completely wrong. An organization invades and takes the night into a shocking swirl of events.
He becomes fast friends with TJ McDonald and Lucy Garcia. Before I continue on, let me explain a little bit about this too. I loved these characters so much! Their character development is awesome and adds a fun touch to the story. These three friends are also all different races.
TJ is slightly awkward. He loves his pop culture so you can't go a moment without him referencing a superhero, Star Wars, or The Princess Bride. He's a genius with semi-hyper memory and does fencing for a sport.
Lucy has just moved to the states from Nepal. She's traveled all over the world so she knows how to bargain for a cheaper price on something. She's quite smart too, but she doesn't trust as easily since she's traveled so much. She also is fluent in several languages which come in handy as they're trying to survive the next 48 hours on the streets of Chicago.
As they are on the run, they discover a mystery that leads them to a secret from the Civil War. This is where it really cool and I don't want to spoil anything.
Parents and teachers will love this part because kids won't realize that they're learning anything as they read this epic story. There are tons of fun facts about the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln included. We even get to visit some of those historic sites! Plus Brian Wells incorporated 140 vocabulary words that kids should know. In fact, be sure to check out the sweet bonus features at https://leagueandlantern.com/pages/bonus-stuff.
There are also lots of moral lessons throughout the story. These include family, friendship, mercy and compassion.

Otto… happy 29th!
Yesterday I finally handed in my shoe. Not much more complete than when I tried handing it in last week, but a bit. My relief is going really well tho, so I'm not worried. It's due… I wanna say the 5th. Then we work on our second one (which I'll prolly roll clay for on monday.) I need to get something drawn out before then. Not too bad.
In a bit I'm gonna get my reading done for tomorrow… geo and engrish. I didn't go to either wednesday, because I wasn't feeling well. I didn't go to lab tuesday… It'll not be difficult to catch up tho.
Today I mostly mowed. Got too hot and sweaty to finish, but mostly done.
I worked out. Contrary to what I was hoping 9 days ago, I haven't been a good girl about that… but I was today. Of course, I also have backslid some, pulldowns were especially difficult, but I'm not letting that annoy me. I need to push through this wall… I want to work out, I want to be nice and fit and hot and junk… but I'm lazy. And that damned shoe, stupid as it sounds, has kept me from a number of things these last couple of weeks.
So, glad that that's over, and I can move on. My engrish paper is coming along. I have an idea for my next sculpture… it involves pennies and either solder or flexible wire. I hope it works… I don't really want to do something with paperclips or clothespins or silly crap like that. Pennies seem pretty awesome… and I only need (at least) 50, so it's not like it'd cost me much … only a couple bucks.
I did enjoy my workout. I think my grip is improving some… I was actually able to hold the 35s for the entirety of my set… even the last one. Ok, the last one I used straps… but that's really neither here nor there, because I still slipped some anyway… I was using because I was doing stepups barefoot and didn't want to drop a 35-pound hunk of iron on my toesies.
sigh I got stuff to do.

Another remarkable, laughter-filled, seriously engaging conversation and delightful crowd. There were 5 men and 5 women defying any of the talk about there not being enough men. We didn't start on time (black folks!) but we were right on time with the expected results. Folks got present to what using the design of an OWNER'S MANUAL can provide for oneself and for the people in your life you intend to be intimate with at work, at home and in your romantic encounters.
closeness: a feeling of being intimate and belonging together; "their closeness grew as the night wore on"
Intimacy has more to do with shared moments than sexual interactions.
In concert hall acoustics, a venue is said to have "acoustical intimacy" if music played in it gives the impression of being played in a small hall.
These events are really an antidote to wasting $35-40 at speed dating where you get some names and numbers, some primping and prowling, and maybe a drink in some impersonal public venue. Success with the Opposite Sex: Get Related not Dated(TM) is a fun and engaging way to foster healthy relationships between men and women in our black communities.
AT NOVEMBER'S EVENT: We talked about your owner's manual being a tool to inform yourself and others what's need for you to operate at optimum performance and what trouble-shooting should be done if you have a "flat tire" (A man needs 30 mins when he comes home from work) or need a "tune-up". What makes your engine run well? (Must have a massage once a month; Must exercise and go to church regularly). All this would be written in your owner's manual and like your car's manual, you may never take it out of the glove compartment but it can be useful in ANY kind of relationship (not just romantic) when unfamiliar drivers need to learn how to really enjoy your ride. Fri Nov 2, we created the preface of your manual so to speak. What is your motto, tagline or core value.
What is your motto, tagline or core value?
Your owner's manual is for the people who come into your intimate life (male or female). Please bring some ideas about your motto/tagline/core value. Here are descriptions of each:
A motto (from Italian) is a phrase or a short list of words meant formally to describe the general motivation or intention of an entity, social group, or organization.
A tagline is a variant of a branding slogan typically used in marketing materials and advertising. The idea behind the concept is to create a memorable phrase that will sum up the tone and premise of a brand or product (like a film), or to reinforce the audience's memory of a product. Some taglines are successful enough to warrant inclusion in popular culture, often becoming snowclones.
Examples of famous movie/television taglines are:
• Love Story ? Love means never having to say you're sorry.
• Star Trek ? To boldly go where no man has gone before.
• The X-Files ? The truth is out there.
• Jaws 2 – Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water…
"Your core values are the guiding principles that help you make decisions on a daily basis and define what you stand for as a person and a business. You can spend a lot of time haggling over what they are, but what really matters is that you have them and that you allow them to guide you.
Walt Disney's core values, for example, are imagination and wholesomeness" but it is not "customer service". That's Nordstrom's core value. Sony's core values are: "The elevation of the Japanese culture and national status; being a pioneer–not following others–doing the impossible; encouraging individual ability and creativity" (www.jimcollins.com/pdf/Vision_Framework.pdf).

thanks av....the whales are wondrous! how can I get down there for one of their migrations?
welcome smj to the mousehole! I've also enjoyed your blog and your comments on various mutual buds in 'blogland'
yes, oscar as a blond quite unite, perhaps he posed for the statue after returning from his sojourn to california.
speaking of wilde in california, a while back I read a delightful book called 'wilde west' by walter satterthwaite... part murder mystery, part historical novel and totally engaging. I seem to remember loving the 'tension' that the author developed between (our hero) oscar and doc holiday. wonder if ol' walter ever followed this book up! I do admit to having a weak spot for novels peopled with historical figures.

If you got a 1099-C in the mail and thought, "Why is this happening?!" join the club — most Americans are frightened by tax forms. But the last thing you should do is ignore it. A copy of these forms are electronically sent to the tax man, and the tax man will slap you with penalties if you fail to report it. We tapped Kay Bell, the savvy blogger behind Don't Mess With Taxes, for the low-down on this often confusing tax form.
What's a 1099-C?
Simply put, a 1099-C is a form you receive from a lender with whom you negotiated payment on a debt. So, if, for example, you owed a credit card company $5,000 and worked out an agreement to pay only $3,000, the $2,000 you didn't pay would be counted as phantom income. (Yes, that's a thing.) Who knew haggling with a lender would come back to haunt you?
Why Is Cancelled Debt Considered Income?
"It's income because it's money that you didn't have to pay," says Bell. "It doesn't seem reasonable, but it's the same sort of thing as winning a prize. The value of that prize is taxable."
Now What Do I Do?
Like a W-2, you'll need to report the 1099-C on line 21 of your 1040, i.e., the line where you report other income. This is where you report any income outside your wages or salary, says Bell, such as lottery winnings.
Can I Get Out of It?
According to Bell, not really. But there are some exclusions and exemptions. Canceled debt that qualifies for exclusion from gross income includes:
- Debt canceled in bankruptcy
- Debt canceled due to insolvency
- Cancellation of qualified farm indebtedness
- Cancellation of qualified rental property business indebtedness
Canceled debt that qualifies for exemption from gross income includes:
- Cancellation of certain qualified student loans
- Canceled debt that, if paid by a cash-basis taxpayer, is otherwise deductible
- A qualified purchase price reduction given by a seller
- Amounts specifically excluded from income by law such as gifts or bequests
IRS Publication 4681 can get you up to speed on more of the details.
Will a 1099-C Hurt My Credit Score?
That depends. While the event that triggered the 1099-C — think unpaid credit card debt, car repossession or a foreclosure — was definitely reported to the credit bureaus, the form itself wasn't. So, basically, the damage is already done. (You can get a free credit report summary on Credit.com to see how that old debt is impacting you.)
However, a 1099-C can increase your tax liability and even turn a year in which you would have received a refund into a year in which you owe the IRS money. And if you can't pay, a tax lien could be filed against you and that can definitely do some credit score damage.

Worst Candies For Teeth
It always seems like the good things in life are always unhealthy, and totally bad for you. Of course Halloween must be a nightmare for parents, and leave it to dentists to give us something more to be concerned about.
In their eyes, all candy is bad, but there are some candies that cause so many problems that they're in a class all by themselves.
Here's a rundown from The New York Daily News of the absolute worst candies for kids' teeth:
- Super-Sticky Taffy Bars - They stick to all the nooks and crannies in your teeth and sadly no amount of brushing can get the junk off.
- Gobstoppers and Blow Pops- They're really just hard "rocks" of candy that kids tend to bite down on, putting them at risk of breaking teeth.
- Gummi Bears, Twizzlers, Tootsie Rolls and Skittles- All the good stuff, candies that stay in the mouth for a long time.
Amazingly, the best candy for kids' teeth is a plain chocolate candy, such as a Hershey kiss because the sugar is more likely to wash away with the mouth's saliva.
Have you ever had a candy tragedy? Broken teeth? Bad cavities?

I saw these on Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere's blog a month ago and instantly my mouth watered and I knew I had to make them. Breakfast, lunch, dessert- these little pillows filled with sweet goodness that literally lingers on your tongue and teases you to have another one are perfect anytime of the day. Are you hungry now? These Pain au Chocolat (recipe HERE) were very simple to make and disappeared so quickly. I'm telling your friends and family will love you if you make these for them. I was already told I have to make these again for Christmas morning!
TIFS TIPS: I used Lindt chocolate which tasted very good- the only problem was cutting the bars up. I drew a template of the dimensions the recipe called for and then cut each bar up. The bars must have been wider and thinner than the recipe because I had a bowl of chocolate left over. Also-the puff pastry sheet...yeah I couldn't get 12 perfectly shaped squares so I opted for rectangles which worked just as well. Using a pizza cutter makes cutting the sheet a lot easier than using a knife.
These little breakfast bites are heaven on their own, however, I made a simple vanilla glaze to go along with it in case anyone wanted a little extra sweetness. (recipe HERE)
Are you hungry now?
Don't worry I'll be back next week with more pumpkin recipes. I've been busy making cake balls for my nephew's birthday this week so my Food Friday dish got pushed.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I am not a big fan of cobbler, because I don't like hot fruit.
And I really think trying to pass off fruit as a dessert is shameful. Dessert should be chocolate in my opinion.
So chocolate cobbler is alright with me.
This is a pitiful picture and it doesn't look very scrumptious, but it is! It tastes kind of like a gooey chocolate chip cookie.
I thought you might need to make some. Here's the recipe.
I thought you might need to make some. Here's the recipe.
Chocolate Cobbler
Melt 2 sticks of butter in a 9x13 dish
Mix together in a bowl;
1 ½ cups of sugar
1 ½ cups of self rising flour
1 tsp. of vanilla
¾ cup of milk plus a smidgen
(this is what the recipe calls for, but I always have to use more milk.)
Pour this over the melted butter, DO NOT STIR, just drizzle over the butter.
In another bowl mix;
1 cup of sugar
5 TBSP of cocoa
Sprinkle this over the above mixture, DO NOT MIX, just sprinkle.
Now add 2 cups of boiling water over the top. DO NOT MIX, just pour.
Bake at 350 for 35 to 45 minutes.
And serve with ice cream!

Spectrum auction makes for strange bedfellowsposted by Joe on July 17th, 2007 - 10:00 am | 700 MHz spectrum, AT&T
AT&T and Verizon, the Nos. 1 and 2 wireless providers in America, are always going at one another in the name of business and competition. They'll surely be rivals once we get closer to the 2008 spectrum auction; the results could determine the No. 1 carrier in America for years to come. Unless, of course, it goes to another party. Since this hypothetical third (or fourth or fifth) party threatens both of them, it would make sense for them to combine forces and eliminate it and then deal with the fallout among themselves. This is exactly why we hate this huge corporate mindset. We truly believe that the spectrum is better off in independent hands.
Anyway, AT&T fired back at Google's request for open access requirements for the 700 MHz spectrum auction:
Yesterday, AT&T weighed in. In a letter to the FCC, AT&T said Google's "eleventh hour request" was self-serving because it would encumber licenses in the forthcoming auction "with a laundry list of intrusive 'open access' requirements that would, perhaps, entice Google to participate in the auction. By its own admission, Google's request is intended to diminish the value of those licenses, thus preventing wireless service providers such as AT&T from bidding on them and clearing the path for Google to obtain them at below-market rates."
Okay, we see AT&T's point — to an extent. Google wants these requirements, and then would use those requirements to its advantage by buying it on the cheap. Well, isn't that the same thing, in essence, that AT&T and Verizon are doing, minus the "on the cheap" part? They're trying to not have these rules imposed so that they can use those rules to its advantage and buy the spectrum.
Once again, it's the doublespeak of the corporate world. They don't want Google in, so they accuse Google of doing exactly what they themselves are doing in order to win the auction. We're actually quite surprised that Google hasn't released a statement on this issue.
The only place we see AT&T having a point is the "below market rates" portion. Yes, Verizon and AT&T want certain regulations in place — or certain regulations not in place — so that they can win the auction and use the spectrum to build their respective companies. But these rules they want would not drop the price of the spectrum; the big two would still be bidding against each other. However, with the open-access regulation, the value of the spectrum would be lessened in the eyes of Verizon and AT&T, which means its lessened as a whole.
However, if Google obtains this spectrum at a below-market rate, wouldn't they be able to provide access to the spectrum at a much cheaper rate? That's how we see it, though we've been blinded by business dealings like this before. Still, to us it makes a lot more sense to hand it to a third party and see what comes of it. Worse case is that it goes back up for auction, at which time the major carriers will have a much stronger case.

The Mingle Sail Boat and Mingle Flutterby can be bought in their respective shops. Just be careful with those Flutterby - they tend to make for fast get-aways. They can fly quite fast!
On other note Easter Event have ended and the Easter items are now retired, Easter Giveaway contest will continue until all prizes have been claimed.
Soda was taking a morning stroll in Settlement One, and found a few Uniba in colors she hasn't seen before!

The Bluster writing contest comes to a close. Entries will be judged, and the winners will be announced, and prizes will be handed out on April 4. Thank you, participants, for the great entries!
...And, hello, Mingle! The harsh winds from the previous season have been swept away, and Spring-like temperatures and showers are rolling in. Professor Ng has been acting strangely giddy here lately, though she refuses to say why. Maybe she's made a great discovery, nobody knows. Though she did happen to say that great things are on the horizon! What could she mean by that...?
Hyacinth is at it again! This time, she has created some beautiful eggs, and they can be found in the marketplace! Also Sora created a cute new Chick avatar.
Tabitha is hosting a special egg hunt! Those interested in the hunt should visit this link (it can also be found on the Explore map, near Settlement One). Twenty pet-themed eggs have been hidden around the site. Each egg can be redeemed for a total of 5 points a piece. Eggs purchased from the marketplace are only worth 1 point a piece, however. With the more points you earn, you get closer to being able to purchase a special item from Tabitha's special Easter shop! If you find EVERY egg, you get a special collecting avatar! So, start searching now! Some of those eggs can be tricky, and a little difficult to find. It is almost like they have a mind of their own... Should any questions arise concerning the Easter hunt, please contact Lavenderblue, and she will get those answered right away!
Above are a few of the items one can obtain by redeeming points in the egg hunt! They were created by Sora.
You can also redeem your points to own your very own Uniba, which was created by Soda! So, Cruithneans, start hunting!
One more thing:
Please do not share locations of any of the hidden eggs. We want everyone to have an equal chance of obtaining each of the eggs. Telling locations would spoil the event for those individuals! Also, if you come across a bug or glitch, be sure to report it to an administrator, immediately. Abuse of any glitches or bugs will not be tolerated.

The Under-21s are back in action this Friday evening when they make the short journey to take on Chorley.
The match at Victory Park sees two former team-mates on opposing benches as Damien Johnson's Rovers face Matt Jansen's Chorley in the 7.30pm kick-off.

"We'll be looking to put in an improved performance at Chorley.
"I haven't seen Matty in a while so I'm looking forward to catching up with him.

The solar wind is a stream of charged particles released from the upper atmosphere of the Sun. It mostly consists of electrons and protons. The source of the solar wind is the Sun's hot corona. The temperature of the corona is so high that the Sun's gravity cannot hold on to it. The solar wind speed varies between 300 km/s and 800 km/s. These high and low speed streams interact with each other and alternately pass by the Earth as the Sun rotates.
As the solar wind approaches a planet that has a well-developed magnetic field, e.g. the Earth, Jupiter and Saturn, the particles are deflected by the Lorentz force. This region is known as the magnetosphere and it causes the particles to travel around the planet rather than bombarding the atmosphere or surface. The magnetosphere is roughly shaped like a hemisphere on the side facing the Sun, then is drawn out in a long wake on the opposite side. Earth itself is largely protected from the solar wind by its magnetic field, which deflects most of the charged particles. A smaller number of particles from the solar wind manage to travel to the Earth's upper atmosphere and ionosphere in the auroral zones. That produces phenomena such as the aurora and geomagnetic storms.
Image source: weirwarpd
Astral bodies without magnetic field, e.g. the comets, are not able to deflect the solar wind; therefore, they have long tails pointing opposite to the sun. Venus, the nearest and most similar planet to Earth in the Solar System, has an atmosphere 100 times denser than our own, with little or no geo-magnetic field; hence, ia has a comet-like tail that extends to the orbit of the Earth.

Sexualisation of Childhood report published
A six-month independent review into the commercialisation and sexualisation of childhood calls on businesses and media to play their part in ending the drift towards an increasingly sexualised 'wallpaper' that surrounds children.
Reg Bailey, Chief Executive of Mothers' Union, who led the independent review, said: "Society has become increasingly full of sexualised imagery. This has created a wallpaper to children's lives. Parents feel there is no escape and no clear space where children can be children.
"I want to put the power back in parents' hands so they can better manage the pressures on their children and make it easier for them to bring up their children the way they want.
"Parents need encouragement to feel they can change things and that their voices will be heard. Regulators, businesses and broadcasters should do more to connect with parents – it's not enough for them to work out what is acceptable from what people complain about afterwards."
Many of the actions suggested in the report are for businesses and regulators rather than for the Government.
Reg Bailey is recommending that the Government should monitor the implementation of his recommendations and do a stock-take in 18 months time.
The recommendations in the report include:
- Providing parents with one single website to make it easier to complain about any programme, advert, product or service.
- Putting age restrictions on music videos to prevent children buying sexually explicit videos and guide broadcasters over when to show them.
- Covering up sexualised images on the front pages of magazines and newspapers so they are not in easy sight of children.
- Making it easier for parents to block adult and age-restricted material from the internet by giving every customer a choice at the point of purchase over whether they want adult content on their home internet, laptops or smart phones.
- Retailers offering age-appropriate clothes for children – the retail industry should sign up to the British Retail Consortium's new guidelines which checks and challenges the design, buying, display and marketing of clothes, products and services for children.
- Restricting outdoor adverts containing sexualised imagery where large numbers of children are likely to see them, for example near schools, nurseries and playgrounds.
- Giving greater weight to the views of parents in the regulation of pre-watershed TV, rather than viewers as a whole, about what is suitable for children to watch.
- Banning the employment of children under 16 as brand ambassadors and in peer-to-peer marketing, and improving parents' awareness of advertising and marketing techniques aimed at children.
Children's Minister Sarah Teather said: "It is not Government's role to interfere in family life. But parents often tell me that they would like more support so that they can navigate the rapidly-changing technological and commercial world."
Chris Woolard, Group Director of Content at Ofcom, said: "Ofcom recognises the critical importance of parents' views about what children watch on TV. We will continue to focus on exploring parents' views in our enforcement of broadcasting standards relating to the protection of children."

Various national holiday-gift surveys indicate restaurant gift cards continue to rise in popularity—and in Palm Beach, some have privileges and perks, including complimentary bonus cards and the ability to use cards at multiple restaurant locations.
Take The Breakers: If you purchase $250 in gift cards online this holiday season (www.thebreakers.com; use promotion code HLDG13), you receive a $50 bonus card.
And those cards can be used in a number of ways, including at all of The Breakers' open-to-the-public eateries, ranging from onsite Flagler Steakhouse, The Seafood Bar, HMF and The Italian Restaurant, to The Breakers' offsite Asian restaurant, Echo, and American-cuisine Top of the Point.
Among other restaurant gift-card deals during this year's holiday season:
Del Frisco's Grille (340 Royal Poinciana Way; www.delfriscosgrille.com/palmbeach) offers bonus cards with the purchase of holiday-season gift cards and the cards are good at all of Texas-based Del frisco's Restaurant Group's 38 restaurant Locations—including two steakhouse concepts—in 20 states, making the cards convenient for folks on your gift list who travel a lot.
Purchase $500 in Del Frisco's gift cards and you get $75 in bonus cards. If you spend $100 on gift cards, you'll get a $10 bonus card.
Buccan (350 S. County Road; www.buccanpalmbeach.com) offers holiday gift-card perks, too—in this case, 10 percent off gift-card purchases of $100 or more in gift cards. And Buccan's gift cards also can be used at the restaurant's sister next door—Asian eatery Imoto at Buccan (www.imotopalmbeach.com).
As with all restaurant gift cards, certain restrictions may apply. For instance, to receive such perks as the abovementioned, you typically need to make gift-card purchases by a certain date, such as Dec. 31.
Whichever your favorite restaurants happen to be, inquire about gift cards if you're considering buying some during the holidays.

You may have heard that the current administration is about to remove regulations that protect our National Monuments.
Please comment to keep these regulations in place. Some of these comment periods are only fifteen days and the clock started ticking May 12th.
Without regulations, many beautiful places would be destroyed. These regulations are often the only safeguards against complete plundering of our national treasures.
Unfortunately, many of us are so focused on our work and our families, we often don't notice what is happening around us.
If we don't speak up to protect our sacred places, we will lose them.
Thanks in advance for taking a few moments to comment. The more comments, the better our chances of protecting these lands.
Future generations are counting on our stewardship. Please comment now.

Seasonal Flu
What You Should Know
Seasonal flu is a contagious illness that affects the nose, throat, lungs and other parts of the body. It can spread quickly from one person to another, can cause mild to severe illness, and, in some severe cases, can lead to death.
Flu viruses are spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing by people with influenza. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something - such as a surface or object - with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose.
The best way to prevent seasonal flu is by getting a flu shot or flu spray vaccination every year.
Signs and Symptoms of Flu
People who have the flu often feel some or all of these signs and symptoms:
- Fever* or feeling feverish/chills
- Cough
- Sore throat
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Muscle or body aches
- Headaches
- Fatigue (very tired)
- Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults.
*It's important to note that not everyone with flu will have a fever.
Period of contagiousness
You may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick. Most healthy adults may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 to 7 days after becoming sick. Some people, especially young children and people with weakened immune systems, might be able to infect others for an even longer time.
Practice Good Health Habits
Good health habits may also help protect you against the flu. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends these six steps to prevent and control the spread of the seasonal Flu:
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.
- If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick.
- Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.
- Practice other good health habits. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home, work or school, especially when someone is ill. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.

The pulp of your tooth is extremely important. It contains the nerves and the blood vessels that connect the tooth to your jaw, and essentially keeps the tooth alive and healthy. If your tooth becomes damaged from trauma, disease or neglect, bacteria can work its way into the pulp, infecting it.
In days gone by, if the pulp of your tooth became infected, the dentist would have had to extract it. However, thanks to the process known as a root canal, your tooth can be saved, even if the pulp has to be removed.
In a root canal, the dentist will use a small drill to access the pulp in your tooth. Then, he will extract the pulp from the root chamber. The dentist may also enlarge the chamber before cleaning it out make sure that it is free from any leftover pulp and bacteria. Then he will insert a substance called gutta percha into the chamber to fill the space left by the pulp. After sealing the tooth with a temporary filling, he will set an appointment for you to return for a follow-up visit and to place a permanent cap on the tooth. The dentist may also prescribe pain medication, an anti-inflammatory drug or an antibiotic. If pain or swelling in the area persists, contact the dentist right away.
If you are dealing with a troublesome tooth, our dentist, Dr. David J. Berg at Studio 1 Dental in Sacramento California will be happy to see you. To make an appointment at Studio 1 Dental, call 916.567.0900 today.

|Just remember... she wants to be known for her brain.
The reality is if McCarthy wasn't a famous Playboy Playmate or B-list actress, nobody would bother to listen, but because she is rather well known, that (for whatever reason) has convinced certain media figures that her story is worth repeating.
So what is the story she is so willing to tell? Well essentially McCarthy claims vaccines cause autism and these same vaccines in turn harmed her son Evan. She also claims she was able to reverse Evan's condition and "cure" his autism via a mixture of good old fashioned hard work, truckloads of love, and some miracle biomedical treatments. Of course McCarthy has zero scientific evidence to support her theory that vaccines cause autism, and in fact when she originally published her book and started going around the country trying to convince others that she was more knowledgeable on the subject than any of the thousands of doctors and scientists who work in the field every day.... there were no less than ten different published studies that had tried to examine the supposed link between vaccines and autism and not a single one of them had ever found even so much as a casual link.
Oh well... science really isn't that important right? Surely a former Playmate knows more about complex scientific subjects like vaccines than those who spend their entire careers studying them. We should just accept the fact that McCarthy is right and that all of the experts are simply out of touch.
The irony in this entire situation is that Jenny McCarthy is very much anti-science, yet science is responsible for her most famous assets (her silicone enhanced chesticles). So apparently she trusts science when it comes to such important matters as enlarging her breasts, but science goes out the door when it comes to her son. Check.
It is probably worth noting that many experts believe that Evan was actually misdiagnosed in the first place and that he never actually had autism. As it turns out, some of Evan's initial symptoms were tied to seizures he experienced, and after those seizures were treated his condition improved. It has been stated that Evan's symptoms were actually more reflective of Landau-Kleffner Syndrome rather than autism and therefore any "cure" that Jenny McCarthy claims to have used has nothing to do with autism. Other doctors have even suggested Evan had no medical condition at all and was merely developmentally delayed in comparison to his peers.
No matter what McCarthy seems to believe, it seems rather odd that her miracle cure hasn't translated so well. We don't hear of hundreds or even thousands of autistic kids being cured, so it would seem slightly odd that her magic only happened to apply to her son and nobody else. So aside from scaring parents away from vaccines, what else has Jenny McCarthy done with all of her anti-vaccination crusading? Go to this website to find out and read the sources...it is very interesting.
Jenny McCarthy Body Count
The basic premise is that as of the time this post was written, McCarthy has indirectly led to the deaths of 738 children which could have been prevented with proper vaccinations, and she has indirectly led to over 85,000 children contracting preventable diseases. And in all that time what is the number of autism diagnoses scientifically linked to vaccinations???
Yes.... ZERO.
These are the ramifications when people ignore science, and while Jenny McCarthy could have chose to use her celebrity status to educate people about vaccinations and/or to help parents of autistic children come to grips with the diagnoses, she instead decided it was better to scare parents based upon personal opinion which has no scientific backing whatsoever. Amazing.

The order required that Mr. Berges, individually and on behalf of
Arkidus, to pay a $1,500 civil penalty and $214.55 hearing costs.

The state of Florida has taken similar action against Arkidus
about the illegal activity.
The department's mission is to protect consumers by providing
assistance and information, by efficiently regulating the insurance
industry's market behavior and financial solvency, and by fostering
a competitive insurance marketplace. The Illinois Department of
Insurance assists consumers with all insurance complaints, including

Why Should You Maintain Your Car Regularly?
Take Good Care of Your Car: It's Not as Difficult as You Think
Do you want your vehicle to run right, last long and look good? All it needs is a little TLC!
What is the Purpose of Regular Car Maintenance?
It's no mystery that regular maintenance ensures longevity! Case in point: Ever see a classic car and wonder how it managed to stay in mint condition after 20-30 years? It's all thanks to regular maintenance from the vehicle's dedicated owner.
Here are a few tips that every car owner should follow.
1. Clean your car at least twice in a week
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the car's interior. Use a car wash to clean the exterior and give it a brand-new look.
2. Change oil regularly
Remember to change oil frequently – especially after every 5,000 to 7,500 miles – to ensure that the engine functions optimally. The components within the engine are constantly moving and rubbing against each other creating heat; oil ensures that these parts remain lubricated.
Motor oil or engine oil acts as a lubricant for internal combustion. Manufacturers suggest that oils vary based on operating conditions. Different oils include conventional oil, premium conventional oil, full-synthetic oil, synthetic-blend oil and high-mileage oil.
3. Check your tire air pressure at least once in a month
When a tire is over inflated or under inflated, it loses brake controls causing it to wear out faster. Properly inflated tires balance the vehicle equally over the tire's tread design. As a result, it leads to long lasting tires, maximum traction, and safe driving. Before you plan a long drive, stop at Davis Car Care to check your vehicle's tire air pressure monitoring system.
4. Replace brake pads after every 25,000 miles
Never ignore the screeching noise made by a brake. Brake pads can wear out quickly, depending on how frequently your drive. It also depends on the driving frequency, vehicle weight, and road condition.
5. Change air filter after every 30,000 miles of travel
A clean air filter is similar to our lungs; proper functioning is important. Dirt less air filter leads to increase in gas mileage and engine life, better acceleration, lower emissions and overall improved performance of the engine. Most of the air filters are inexpensive.
6. Balance the car's engine temperature after every 15,000 miles
If you have been driving in temperatures of minus 20 degrees or 105 degrees, use an engine additive that runs your engine smoothly. Coolants are known as antifreeze is a liquid mixed with water in your vehicle. It helps to prevent the radiators from overheating or freezing.
7. Inspect spark plugs every 30,000 miles
The electrical device delivers a spark of light to ensure proper functioning of your vehicle. Without a spark plug, your car cannot start the engine. A weak or bad spark plug can result in loss of power, slow acceleration, engine failure, and gas leakage.

This big old beauty will be cut down tomorrow. She has seen me since I was in my mother's womb until now. I'd walk underneath her branches when I was a kid, going to school, running away from school, visiting my grandparents, and I still walk underneath its branches as I go to work. She saw my grandmother as a kid, and she saw our whole family the day she was buried. She's seen my dad in my gran's womb, seen him run around, grow, graduate. My grandparents used to live right in front of it. Her branches would reach into their room if they opened a window. She even saw my dad's pet turtle fall off the balcony and onto the ground below (it survived somehow). She will be gone forever because she is big and tilting onto the road.
I'll miss her.

text: We love billboards. But only if the message is right and the location makes sense. Billboard representatives can be aggressive and they tend to sell either their most expensive boards (even if the location isn't right for your billboard) or the ones that don't sell easily (because they have empty boards to fill). This is where we show our strength! Oxygen Advertising, Inc. looks through all the demographic information and can help you decide what location is the best for your billboard. If you are placed in a location that isn't good for your company, you are wasting valuable money. And, most of us don't need to waste money. We also design the billboards so that your message is consistent with all of your other marketing. It's important to brand your company and keeping everything cohesive is key!

Consent forms are a sometimes overlooked but very important part of visiting any health care provider, including your dentist. Understanding these forms is critical both for seniors and for caregivers.
What are consent forms?
Do you remember signing a consent form the last time you went to the dentist? We're often tempted to glance over these documents and quickly sign them, but the information they contain should be read carefully. Consent forms allow you to learn more about your treatment, ask questions, and talk to your doctor about your preferences for care. This process is especially important if you are a caregiver for a loved one.
During the first visit with a dentist, you may also be asked to sign a form that outlines the office's policies. When you sign the office policy form, you allow dentists and their staff to take pictures of your teeth and perform basic procedures such as x-rays.
When reviewing consent forms — either for yourself or someone you are providing care for — feel free to ask questions and request a copy of the document to review later. Remember, a signature today does not bind you forever: you have a right to make changes or withdraw your consent in the future.
What is a treatment plan?
Following an exam, the dentist may create what's called a "treatment plan." This is a document that lists any treatments or procedures you may need. The dentist may then ask you to sign an additional consent form for the treatment plan. Signing this form acknowledges that you understand your treatment options, the procedures described, as well as the expected costs and results.
The treatment plan may also warn that dentistry is not an exact science, and situations can come up that cause plans to change. Some dentists prefer to show you several options, including the option of no treatment.
If you have complex care needs, your dentist may need several visits to develop a complete plan. You may be asked to give consent again before certain major procedures such as a tooth extraction.
Who makes the decisions about care?
In some cases, you may wish to provide consent on behalf of another person. To give consent, a person must be able to understand both their health problems and their treatment options. Because of this, children under the age of 18 and persons with dementia or other serious mental disability must have someone make decisions on their behalf.
If you're tasked with making decisions on behalf of a loved one, most health professionals suggest trying to choose what the loved one would prefer.
How do I legally provide consent on behalf my loved one?
If you are the legal parent or guardian of someone under your care, you already have the power to make decisions for them. For other relationships, you will need to obtain what's called "durable power of attorney for health care" (DPAHC), or a "proxy" or "surrogate."
How do I allow someone else to make decisions on my behalf?
If you believe you may one day be in a position where you won't be able to make your own decisions about medical and dental treatments, you should take the time to select another person, or "proxy," who will represent your interests later. Choose the person who best understands your preferences, and who can accurately express your wishes to health care providers.
Remember: informed consent is about more than signing papers. It allows the dentist to exchange information with patients. For effective treatment, dentists must be able to educate their patients or proxies about the procedures and their consequences. The patient or proxy must also be informed and able to express their desire for treatment.

MEZZE MANICHE IN BRODO AND LET IT RAIN… (di Sergio Efosi e Giulio Efosi*)
"Mes manag in brod" also know as "Mezze maniche ripiene in brodo" .
The typical Piacenza cuisine with the "Mezze maniche ripiene in brodo" of Capon or Hen and Beef (someone prefers eating them with Pork filling) reaches maximum levels that have crossed the provincial boundaries as in the case of "Pisarei e fasö" and the "Anolini in Brodo".

Traditional fish & chips
A family-run business
The Marini family has been running the Quality Fish & Chip shop in Hampton since 1987. Audrey and Franco Marini have now been joined in the business by their sons, Adrian and Adam. They serve the nation's favourite takeaway to their loyal local following, as well as customers who travel from Hampton Court, Hampton Hill and East Molesey for some of the best fish and chips around.
"We don't do pizza"
Marini's is a traditional fish & chip shop. Fresh fish is delivered daily from Peterhead and Grimsby to be expertly cut and prepared by Franco. The chips are made from the best potatoes available at the time, mostly being Maris Piper. And all the proper extras are on offer, from mushy peas to pickled onions. And for non-fish-lovers, there's chicken freshly grilled on the rotisserie, plus the traditional chip shop favourites - sausages and pies
In the heart of Hampton
Marini's Quality Fish & Chips is a real part of the Hampton neighbourhood. One wall is devoted to the free community noticeboard, and chairs and tables are provided for anyone who wants to sit down and enjoy their fish & chips here in the shop - proper plates, knives and forks are all part of the service, at no extra charge.

VäsenPurchase tickets online
April 26 8:00 pm
Väsen is a band people rave about – mere praise doesn't seem to be enough. According to the Utne Reader, the band "treads an enchanted territory between classical, folk, and pop." National Public Radio's All Things Considered puts it this way: "The absurdly broad term world music is rendered useless in the face of these musicians who play with such genuine passion and glee that everything on the globe seems to disappear except their hometown fires. This is local music in the best sense of the term – believable, human-scaled, and fluent in the international language of musical interplay." Here's what the folks at Wired say: "The sound may be traditional, but the attitude is completely modern, mixing up the ideas of folk, the virtuosity of prog, and the humor of the insane asylum into a Cuisinart of acoustic bliss. Visualize whirled music." World music or whirled, the musicians of Väsen take the traditional music of their native Sweden and blend it into a delicious mixture of distinctive rhythms, gorgeous melodies, and unstoppable grooves.
Mikail Marin plays viola, Roger Tallroth plays 12-string guitar, and Olov Johansson plays nykelharpa, a bowed, 16-string instrument related to both the hurdy-gurdy and the fiddle. In 1990, Olov became world champion of both the modern chromatic and older historical nyckelharpas at the first-ever Nyckelharpa World Championships at Österbybruk, Sweden. The trio has been performing and recording together ever since. They've appeared on A Prairie Home Companion, won the Swedish equivalent of a Grammy, worked with Mike Marshall and Darol Anger, as well as with the Kronos Quartet, and recorded 15 albums, including their latest, Mindset, which the website about.com calls "the best they've ever released." That same reviewer calls Väsen "one of the best bands in the world." Not one of the best Swedish bands or one of the best traditional bands, just one of the best bands, period. The word väsen has several meanings – spirit, essence, noise. This talented Swedish trio conveys the essence of Swedish traditional music with a joyful noise that is very likely to raise your spirits!

How To Save Time And Money . . .
And Still Achieve Your Immigration Dreams
You know you should have started your immigration case months ago. But a variety of hurdles have stood in your way.
Maybe you're too busy. You don't have time to take off during the day to meet with an attorney over and over again to complete all your paperwork.
Perhaps you're worried about the money. You know attorneys are not cheap. You feel high quality legal help for your immigration case costs more than you can afford.
Or you do not like to travel far distances. You are afraid to drive on crowded freeways and streets, especially during rush hours. It's too stressful each time you have to visit an immigration lawyer.
The Virtual Immigration Lawyer: A New Approach To Immigration Services
What if you could handle all the details of your case on your schedule, in a way that lowers attorney fees, and not have to travel?
After all, the internet allows us to accomplish a lot of what we need to do through our desktop computers and mobile phones.
Most likely, you already use the internet to communicate with friends, bank online, or shop from home.
Why shouldn't you be able to get top notch legal advice and assistance the same way?
Well, it is possible . . . at the Virtual Law Offices of Carlos Batara.
The Benefits Of A Web-Based Immigration Law Office
We offer the best of two worlds.
We have physical offices to meet face-to-face in various cities throughout Southern California for clients who would like to work with us in a traditional manner.
We also provide online immigration services using cutting-edge technology, in an efficient and cost-effective manner, allowing us to help you whether you live across the street, in another state, or across the ocean.
Our web-based services are not constrained by time and location. Clients can access our paperless law office 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from any location nationwide or across the globe through a secure internet connection.
This means you have the flexibility to communicate with us after you put the kids to bed, on the weekends, early in the morning before work, or any other time it is convenient for you.
You simply log into our web-based client files and leave a message. We'll respond as quickly as possible.
There is another benefit to working with our virtual immigration law office. By using technology to help clients, we eliminate many of the overhead expenses associated with a physical law office.
This means we can offer a lower price for legal services provided in this manner.
How Our Virtual Immigration Law Office Works
When it comes to internet technology, Carlos Batara is not a Johnny-come-lately.
A forward looking lawyer, Carlos began providing web-based and video-conferencing services when he opened his Riverside immigration law office almost ten years ago.
Here's an example how our virtual law services can benefit you.
Serving Clients Living Across The Street,
In Another State, Or Across The Globe
Janice, who was born in the United States, met Alberto on one of her visits to Honduras. They communicated regularly via Skype. They made plans to marry.
Since Alberto was planning to visit her the next month, they thought they should get married during his stay here. Hoping to immigrate Alberto soon after their marriage, Janice contacted my San Bernardino immigration law office to schedule a consultation.
Unfortunately, Janice had a quirky work schedule. She worked for a doctor in Ontario, but she lived in Banning. As a single mother of two children, Janice had child care obstacles well as travel and work schedule problems. Coming into our office for an interview would impose another burden on her, as well as make her take time off from work.
At first, Janice thought maybe she could handle the paperwork on her own. She was a college graduate and figured the documents could not be that hard to fill out. But she wanted to be sure.
When she called our Inland Empire office, she learned that she did not have to come into the office to hold an extensive one-on-one consultation. She had choices. By telephone, email, or video-conference. Because she was was familiar with Skype, she decided to meet with Carlos using that option.
During the interview, she was elated to find out most, if not all, of her immigration case could be handled online using web-based technology.
The forms, documents, and materials could be saved in our online files. We could exchange notes and information through our private internet portal for clients. She could work on materials when she arrived home from work, after the kids went to sleep, or on the weekend. Despite the time difference, Alberto could do the same.
Then she learned that by working with our virtual immigration services, she would also qualify for our special discount prices.
But there was some bad news. Alberto could not come into the country with knowledge they would get married and then file immigration papers while he stayed here.
A visitor visa is just a temporary visa, explained Carlos, so the government would probably view their situation as immigration fraud. Carlos suggested other options, including filing a fiancé visa.
Janice retained our services. The convenience of the online family-based immigration services, coupled with immigration expertise, was the right combination for her and Alberto.
Things took a little longer than they planned. But they did things the right way. Today, they are married and living happily in the Temecula area.
Daring to be different, Carlos pioneered his distinctive immigration case management style because clients deserve the best value possible.
Today, as a virtual immigration attorney, Carlos is able to work closely with clients anywhere and everywhere.
- At his Escondido immigration law office when he is at his San Diego immigration law office.
- At his Hemet immigration law office when he is at his Riverside immigration law office.
- Or from any of our firm's six locations, even when clients are sitting in their home.
Even if you have to move from one location to another, our web-based immigration services do not slow down.
In just the past few months, clients who lived in San Marcos, Chula Vista, Lake Elsinore, Moreno Valley, Redlands, and Palm Springs at the start of their cases were forced to move while their cases were still in progress.
With our private online client file system, their cases kept moving forward without skipping a beat.
By the time they put away all the boxes, enrolled the kids at their new schools, and became settled into their new homes, they had already attended their permanent resident interviews and were waiting to receive their green cards in the mail.

Our virtual immigration law office provides affordable, low cost assistance in the following areas:

AWESOME PHOTOS & MESSAGE, Read through S L O W L Y and it becomes a beautiful experience.
As you journey through life & its Roads and Paths…
there may be some steep hills to climb,
some times when the road seems treacherous and you aren't sure which turn to take...
times when you feel like you are on the brink of falling,
and there may be many curves in the road.
As you make your way through the ups and downs of 2013,
May you know God's presence with you through each tunnel,
every steep climb,
every curve,
in the beautiful mountaintop experiences with Him,
and through the slippery storms of life;
May He walk with you down through the valleys and up the mountains,
take your hand and guide you through to the light,
put a hedge around you to keep you safe,
help you to find joy and excitement in the roller coaster ride,
and fill you with amazement at the beauty He provides along the way.
Take time to smell the flowers,
To admire His handiwork
along Life's railway;
"WORRYING does not take away tomorrow's TROUBLES; it takes away today's PEACE."
