This upcoming weekend the city we live in is having a hazardous waste removal drive. I see this as my chance to clear all the hazardous things I can find from the house. Entering the house, I make a beeline to the garage because I have to imagine there are so many hazardous things swimming around here. As I walk in, it becomes clear that everything I need to get to is on the other side of the garage. I start by clearing a walkway through the garbage so I won't kill myself attempting to walk across all of the trash. Having a clean path will make it easier to take things out as well. I get rid of a bunch of newspapers and garbage that are in my way to start. Then I come across a bunch of my father's "organized boxes." These are normally filled with the most random things ever. Magazines, papers, pencils, screws, tools, whatever you can imagine. I have already found a few of these boxes so far and they are so annoying to organize because they are always a random hodgepodge.
One box is filled with magazines so I put them in a bag to try to throw them out. Of course my mother stops me and tells me they might be worth money. I take the nice ones out and put the rest aside for now. I will figure out if I'm really going to try to sell them at a later point. Of course I get a call from my mother the following day stating that she went on ebay and saw some of the same types of magazines for sale for $12. I double checked this and noticed that most of the magazines she was referring to didn't actually have any bids and were never sold. I went to the trunk to see what magazines I had left and realized that I ended up throwing out the bag of magazines by accident anyways. Oops! I don't think anyone would want to buy these things since I had taken them from an area that was full of mice/squirrel feces. Yuck!!
So, back to cleaning up! After I got through that mess, I finally made my way to the other side of the garage where there were plenty of hazardous things for us to take out. Yes, I am saying "us" because my mom actually helped me today. She helped carry a lot of the garbage and hazardous items through the house! I was shocked to find that the 15 or so paint and 6 turpentine cans were actually empty!! My father used to paint doors on the side when he was involved in construction, so they were probably used for that. That was about 20 years ago though! I am happy to see they are empty because they will be much easier to dispose of! We ended up pulling about 4 boxes of wood stain, paint, turpentine, and other random hazardous items out.
At one point my father was watching as I pulled out container after container of stuff and he commented "wow, that's a lot of junk! It used to be good, but now it's a lot of junk!" I looked at him annoyed and dumbfounded. I responded "Yes, this is all of your junk!!!" I shook my head and proceeded to go through more of his piles of crap. We finally filled up my car and I left as quickly as possible. I would have pictures, but I was a filthy mess and my mother was around the whole time so I couldn't let her see me take any pictures! I did snap a few pictures as I was waiting in the car for my mom on Saturday though. Sorry for the poor quality!
Saturday (hazardous waste collection day) came around and I called my mother. I said "hey mom, I'm coming to help bring stuff to the hazardous waste collection thing." She said she had already loaded up the car and was ready to go. I told her I wanted to check out the house across the street for more stuff, so she told me not to take too long. This is the same person who says she is coming over in 10 min and shows up 1 to 3 hrs later. I head to my grandmother's and grab a few things. I also asked my mom if she got rid of the paint in the basement. She acts like she doesn't know what I'm talking about. I go downstairs and find about 5 boxes of spray paint my father used for making die cast model cars. I started packing paint away to take to the hazardous waste drive and my mom comes down. She hurriedly states that some of the paint has never been used. Mind you they have a sheen of dust over them, so they aren't very desirable in their current state. I ask her what she's going to do with them and she says she is going to put them on freecycle. Great, she got that excuse from me last week as I said we could get rid of some things from my grandmother's house on there. I throw as many cans in the box as possible (prob about 40 cans) and leave back another 40 or so as my mother is getting more and more annoyed. At least I can say I tried.
2 Bags garbage
6 bags newspapers (2 mom)
8 bags paper
1 stuffed animal
15 empty paint cans
6 cans turpentine
4 boxes hazardous paint/stain/chemical cans

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is praised as both the best game in the series as well as one that took it in a wrong direction. While it refines plenty of systems set within the franchise, moving to open-world will always create problems, be it bugs or oversights. From as early as the game's trailers people found things to complain about. MGSV has sparked plenty of arguments. One of the main sources of outrage is one of the game's principal characters: Quiet the sniper.
MGS is known for its wacky enemies and ideas that go against the norm, but an almost naked woman was the last straw. Hideo loves putting women who show off cleavage into his games, from Sniper Wolf in the original game to the bikini scenes of Eva in MGS3. MGSV took that aspect and dialed it up to 10, having Quiet wearing only a bikini for 98% of her screen time. Thankfully she is a great buddy to have on the battlefield, but even that has its limits.
Let us delve into 15 reasons why Quiet ruins and brings down MGSV. Now for those who have Quiet as your waifu, I in no way hate Quiet. She was my main buddy throughout MGSV, but that speaks volumes about how her power unbalances the game and even I can accept her faults.
15 Needs To Be Naked To Breath
Quiet's simple bikini and sniper rifle sparked quite a bit of rage before Metal Gear Solid V's release. While her design might have been a good idea for a bathhouse episode of an Anime, it was not, however, a good choice for a starring role in a major franchise. From the moment you fight Quiet to the game's ending, Quit wears little more than three pieces of string on her body. While many bad choices can be explained through the story, this one went a bit too far. Quiet has to be naked to absorb water and oxygen through her skin to stay alive…
Let that sink in, she has to be naked to live. That just sounds like a teenage boy's wet dream. Oh, but it's fine, if she needs to be naked live she can just be naked. Or, you know, don't craft a story that requires her to be naked?
14 Begins Missions By Killing
MGSV introduced a new partner mechanic to the franchise. The new system lets players bring a companion with them on missions (albeit, a very varied ensemble of partners, in the form of a Dog, Horse, Robot and… naked Sniper). This sense of comradery and tool is a great addition to the franchise, especially one that made the move to a more open world design. However, with D-Dog, D-Walker and your horse, you are given non-lethal means to attack with clear signs they don't go for the kill. Quiet on the overhand starts off with a sniper rifle that she uses to kill any guard who spots you, or shoots at you.
While a great killer is almost always a good addition to a team, Metal Gear Solid has always put forward the idea that killing is a last resort, as soldiers are only following orders. Many players go for no-kill runs, which Quiet ruins. She is dropped into your party for an excursion, tying your hands.
13 Cannot Communicate
While the inclusion of partners was a great idea, adding in one that doesn't talk was one of the worst decisions. Communicating with your team is imperative to survival and making tactics, but instead, we have one that hums in the background and follows orders. Relegated to a mere grunt sent on missions, Quiet cannot even give input to group discussions, choices or dialogue.
This is used to some comedic effect, when she shoots letters like HBD for Bosses' birthday or when her hums are heard through the tape player. But the fact she can never reply or give suggestions holds her character back way too much.
12 Lives In A Cell But Let Out To Kill
So, throughout MGSV Quiet tries to kill the Boss on two separate occasions. CQC expert that he is, Boss knocks her out like he does to other enemies and brings her back to base. While the hundreds of other soldiers are allowed into our army without a word back, Quiet is heavily argued against. In the end, it is Bosses' decision, but is slightly overruled when she is forced to live in a cell on Mother Base. It takes a few days before they are willing to let her out, saying she would do well on the battlefield.
But, when she returns she is put back in the cell, even tortured, yet still goes out with Boss on missions. This makes literally no sense, she is seen and handled like a threat and a POW but is allowed out to play if she kills for Boss. Even after clearing out bases full of enemies, she is relegated to chains.
11 She Is Overpowered
Quiet is shown to us as a superhuman, so one would think we could never have her on our side. Yet, she is allowed to kill for us (and that is great), but she is way too powerful, trivializing many of the outposts and missions. She can take out a whole outpost on her own, up to two guards before they get a good look at her, five of her weapons are silenced. As players use her more and more, her power just grows, even rewarding an emblem for letting her take care of the work herself.
This leads players to using Quiet to do all their work for them. You can even unlock a tranquilizer sniper, later on, helping with no-kill runs. While a good teammate can make a great duo, an overpowered one just breaks the playing field.
10 Shifts The Idea That Snake Has To Fight Against The Impossible
Metal Gear Solid is a series that is full of super humans, psychics, and machine monstrosities. Raiden has been the closest we've had to having one on our side, though only really in cutscenes. The whole setup is that Snake has to fight against insurmountable odds to save the day, killing his brother ten-odd times, shooting someone who has bullets miss her and fight a man made of bees.
Giving that power to Snake just breaks this idea, Quiet and all her power should make her a villain. If someone like this can be on our side, then the power of our enemies decreases exponentially. While Boss has to fight Metal Gear alone, Quiet makes other encounters with strong forces leagues too easy.
9 Has Drawn Out Cutscenes
Remembering that Quiet cannot speak, and must communicate through body movement, her cutscenes are drawn out for far too long. Minutes of staring at one another, dancing, awaiting her response, or having people talk to her.
MGS hit cutscene length peak at MGS4, but applying that to a character with no dialogue is painful. It doesn't help that a lot of the cutscenes merely paint her as a sex object or emotion heavy mute. This does get rectified during her final cutscene, which helps release all of the pent-up annoyance against her character. Still, that is the end of her speaking career. Too little too late.
8 She Overshadows Sniper Wolf
We already had a great sniper, we've had two of them even. All the way back in Metal Gear Solid, Solid Snake had to face off against a terrifying sniper in the form of a sexy, yet restrained, Sniper Wolf. Confusing you with her cleavage, Sniper Wolf was able to shoot down Meryl, and even halt your advancement into Shadow Moses. This was a great character and enemy to fight, but Quiet just overshadows her too much.
Being a "sexier" a (better) sniper, who is also faster makes Sniper Wolf seem a whole lot less impressive. Sniper Wolf's legacy loses its spectacular when it's put head-to-head with Quiet. Not to mention that Quiet's story is set in the past.
7 You Need To Keep An Emblem To Keep Her
There is no beating around the bush, Quiet will leave you, unless you take certain steps to postpone her final mission. While you can keep her fondness below 90%, this is detrimental to improving her gear. The sure-fire way to keep her in your employ is to equip an emblem that incorporates her Butterfly picture. As long as this is set as your emblem, you can keep your precious overpowered sex sniper. Forcing the player to consider this is annoying, and discourages individuality.
Thankfully, the ability to get her back was patched in, though seemingly in a glitchy manner. The fact that so many players had to change their emblem to a butterfly to keep their favourite companion around was just absurd.
6 She Was Designed As A Pandering Ideal Woman
Kojima has spoken several times on Twitter about Quiet's design and lack of clothing, mentioning that she was designed with cosplayers in mind. Gross. This sparked some rage and questions on the internet. Getting into the game, however, this goes even further then her naked aesthetic. She was clearly designed with the male gaze in mind. She is naked so men can ogle her, she doesn't talk, she's just a naked murder machine who does all the work in combat for you. Moreover, between missions, she even poses all sexy-like for Snake without anyone asking.
If she weren't such a goddamn great sniper, she would just be another sex object for the internet to sweat over. But all of her design just points to one thing, sales, her gun isn't the only thing people are staring at.
5 Her Story Is Too Open To Interpretation
As Quiet doesn't speak until the very end, it is rather hard to end her story on a satisfying note. We are given hints here and there, when she talks with Code Talker, and in the final cutscene of her arc. But with no follow-up, or ending chapter to MGSV (or even an epilogue breakdown), we never really know what happens to her or more about her past. We know she loves Boss, for some reason, but many of her actions, feelings and story notes are too open.
Thankfully, some of her story is told through the cassettes, which many players overlook. But with a character so integral to the plot, with so much potential, she deserved better.
4 Becomes Useless In Enclosed Areas
The one thing that stops a sniper's ability to kill is an obstruction. Get into a building, and you're safe. While you can lead enemies to windows or the open for Quiet to fire on, a lot of the time she becomes useless. Later missions will have you infiltrating complexes or places where Quiet has no line of sight on her targets. This becomes even worse when you've spent most of the game with her as your buddy, leaving the three others to fall behind in terms of bond and equipment.
The fact she has such a weakness is great, as it grounds her character more and balances out her insane powers. However, this is quickly dismissed because of her incredible power outside. She knows hand to hand combat, can turn invisible, and dash around insanely fast. Her dash can even knock out and kill enemies, so why doesn't she do this when her sight is broken?
3 Goes From Killer To Lover Too Quickly
Quiet has tried to kill Boss twice up to the point where she is captured, you have every right to kill her. But you're Big Boss, or Snake; you don't kill unless necessary, so you take her back to your home and make her your soldier. While this seems plausible for soldiers on the battlefield, Quiet was designed to be your killer, even carrying a parasite to take out your entire base. You are the reason she cannot talk, and you almost killed her. But from the moment you drop that supply box on her head in battle, she falls madly in love/lust with you.
From pointing her gun at you, she jumps to shove her ass in your face, show off her cleavage and even dance for you. There is no real build-up to this as time is never really said to have passed, and she never talks.
2 Has Literally No Information
Why the hell does Quiet (seemingly) not know this base inside and out? Quiet should be the one character who could give you all the information you need, yet she fails to help you out in any informative way. The Boss can send her to scout outposts and the like, but she should at least know some of it already or point to an access point in bases. To Miller, Quiet is a fountain of knowledge, but her actions and lack of communication force her to become a target. Just, point me in the direction or some sign that guy has a parasite.
1 Doesn't Ever Think To Write Or Use Morse Code Or Hum
At the end of her storyline, we are told that Quiet has the English strain of the vocal cord parasite. If she were to ever speak in English, she would infect Mother Base, including Big Boss. That is fine, we have been told about the parasites before and seen their danger. So why don't you speak through Code Talker? Or write down crucial information, or use Morse code, or even hum in response?
A lot of the pain given to Quiet is her own fault, she only replies with screams and stares. Even if she don't want to tell us about her English parasite, at least jot down a few bullet points of Skull Faces' plans. Miller knows you have information and is going to keep torturing you. Ocelot and Boss are on your side, give them something to work with! "I did not choose to be Quiet." Yeah, you did.

Universal Pictures
Now Showing
A Bourne film without Jason Bourne sounds akin to a James Bond film without 007. Mission: impossible! But when star Matt Damon, and director Paul Greengrass, decided not to front up for a fourth instalment of the adventures of the amnesiac agent, Universal Pictures weren't about to retire their critically and commercially successful franchise gracefully.
Hence we have The Bourne Legacy. Helmed by Bourne series scribe, Tony Gilroy (director of the Oscar-nominated Michael Clayton (2007)), film #4's opening moments overlap with the closing events of #3, The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), establishing itself in the same universe but preparing the audience, fans and newcomers, for a new story and a new hero.
Legacy opens with a static shot of a silhoutted male figure floating in water, a nod to the final shot of The Bourne Ultimatum which saw Damon's Jason Bourne swimming off into the proverbial – and as it turned out, quite literal – sunset. The swimmer in Legacy's opening shot, however, is Jeremy Renner, whose Aaron Cross emerges from the icy waters in the Alaskan wilderness as part of a one-man, Bear Grylls-style training exercise.
Cross, like Bourne, is a U.S. government operative produced by a top secret initiative but as we're later informed, he and his fellow Outcome agents are "Treadstone without the inconsistencies"; Treadstone being the program which produced Bourne. That absence of inconsistency owes a great deal to the Outcome program's use of medication, regularly administered to the agents, and which enhances both their physical and mental capacities. And it's when Cross's supply of green (for braun) and blue (brains) pills runs dry that the operative goes rogue. His mission, unlike the amnesiac Bourne, is not so much personal as medical: he wants his next fix.
This leads Cross to Dr. Marta Shearing (Rachel Weisz), one of Outcome's medicos who performed quarterly physicals on Cross (whom she had only known as 5) and his colleagues. And talk about perfect timing: Marta has been targeted for termination by Outcome's head honcho, Col. Eric Byer (Edward Norton), who orders the destruction of all evidence of their program following the revelation of Treadstone to the U.S. media, courtesy of Bourne and the C.I.A.'s Pam Landy (Joan Allen, a series stalwart but sadly only glimpsed briefly here).
Having survived the first attempt on her life (a tense and somewhat disturbing scene – given recent events in Colorado – involving a gunman in her laboratory), Shearing is saved from termination by an Outcome team when Cross makes a house call on the good doctor.
The pair then take flight, by car to Canada firstly, and then literally hopping a flight to Manila, headed for the factory where Outcome outsources the production of the little blue pills Cross so craves. Ironically, this little blue pill sees the blood flow to his brain and not his 'little head': the rogue agent is driven by the fear of losing his increased mental ability more than anything else.
That mission, rather than the previous films' search for self, may render The Bourne Legacy less emotionally involving but that is countered somewhat by the chemistry between Renner and Weisz. Aaron Cross isn't the tortured soul that Jason Bourne was, but while he's been designed as a superior model his humanity often wins out.
Marta Shearing, having adopted a 'don't ask, don't tell' attitude to her research with Outcome, proves vulnerable and contrite when the results come back to bite her on the ass. But Weisz provides Shearing with an inner strength when the situation dictates. Although if there is to be a sequel, one suspects Weisz's doctor will meet a similar fate to Franka Potente, Jason Bourne's love interest who took a bullet early on in film #2, The Bourne Supremacy (2004), in order to 'spur' Cross on.
And there is already talk of a sequel, and of Matt Damon returning. For now though, fans of the Bourne franchise will have to make due with Legacy. Taken as a stand alone action-thriller it works well enough; the requisite action sequences, including a motorcycle chase on the motorways of Manila, are thrilling (and sans Greengrass's shaky-cam), and Jeremy Renner is suitably rugged yet empathetic.
But as a Bourne film, Legacy is easily the weakest entry in the franchise. Messrs Gilroy and Renner will need to double-up on their green and blue pills in the lead-up to #5, and not rely solely on a shot of Vitamin D(amon) to successfully complete -- or warrant -- another mission.
5 comments:
I have not been sure about this film, though i do love Jeremy Renner. I am huge fan of the Bourne films and of the Ludlum novels. I have been hearing many a meh review, though positive things regarding Weiz's performance. This review makes me want to either catch it in the bargain runs or wait til DVD.ReplyDeleteReplies
Was a fan of the first three Bourne films, so a fourth without Damon (or Greengrass) sounded bad from the get-go. Not that Legacy is terrible or even bad, but as a Bourne film it is the weakest. It will lose nothing on DVD but you could do worse on a Cheap Tuesday (do they have Cheap Tues in the US?).Delete
The other outcum agents were hot. The two of them alone in an isolated log cabin = Boom-chika-wow-wow. I liked it, but the end lacked any punch, plotwise. The motorcycle dismount from the Larx operative was excellent.ReplyDeleteReplies
I swear, all through the film I thought they were saying Allcome. The black Outcome agent was mighty fine, and that was Oscar Isaac (from Drive and Balibo) in the wood cabin. The Manila sequence was good and I didn't miss Greengrass' shaky-cam (now I sound like David!). But I felt it took too long to get going and then ended rather abruptly.Delete
Slow-witted me just noticed that quote from C. Montgomery Burns. I love it! And we don't have Cheap Tuesday. We have second run theaters that charge like 4-6 dollars. One near me is the Hoosier Theater and I love it because it is an old movie palace complete with a starry sky ceiling, red velvet seats and a piano that the owner's kid plays before the movie starts. No annoying Coca Cola commercials and mindless 3 question movie trivia that plays over and over.ReplyDelete

Decent docking station
The sticker that came on it was ridiculously difficult to get off, ended up using goo gone and a sponge! So not worth the hassle. The docking station is as described, functions well for charging 4 items. The light on it is very bright, and doubles as an unwanted night light. Does its job.3

Available February 2018 – MSRP $90.00
Designed to introduce runners to the unique fit and feel of an Altra shoe, the Altra Solstice is a performance running shoe that looks to deliver a comfortable, natural ride at an entry-level price point. The zero-drop design and lightweight feel should make it a great option for dropping the pace, while a hint of cushioning offers enough versatility to handle some daily miles.
To create a cushioned ride that gives the foot plenty of underfoot pop, the midsole is constructed using a durable EVA foam with Altra's Inner Flex design. Inner Flex consists of flex grooves that are cut into the midsole to allow the shoe to bend with the foot through the gait cycle.
A thin layer of durable rubber covers the majority of the outsole and should prevent excessive wear and tear on the midsole during uptempo efforts, or even daily training on the roads. The foot-shaped pattern is primarily aesthetic.
To minimize weight, Altra's designers constructed a fairly simple upper that will still provide a supportive hold for the foot. Engineered mesh provides a comfortable wrap that should allow for ample airflow through the toe box, while the internal heel counter is designed to prevent any sliding within the shoe.
Preliminary Tech Specs
Stack height*: 18 mm heel, 18 mm forefoot, 0 mm heel-toe drop
Weight*: 6.0 oz (men's size 9), 4.7 oz (women's size 8)
*Production stack heights and weights may differ from the preliminary data listed here.

1493 by Charles C. Mann
- 509 pages (690 with Appendices, Notes and Index)
- Engaging enough to read even while on the bus or subway; Chapters are long but have reasonable subdivisions.
This is the book I'd been putting off until my next transcontinental flights. Five hundred pages seemed like a lot to tackle without those opportunities to read for five uninterrupted hours at a crack. I really shouldn't have worried: Mann is an engaging author who makes the pages turn. I'd digested his 1491 pretty easily, after all.
While 1491 focused on pre-Columbian societies in the Americas, 1493 tackles a broader theme: The Columbian Exchange. The Columbian Exchange is the introduction of organisms evolved in one continent to the ecosystems of another. The term was coined to describe the way Europeans brought everything from pigs and horses to tomatoes and potatoes across the Atlantic in either direction.
Introduction of these species was intentional in some cases (tobacco, sugar cane) and in other cases (the earthworm, malaria) not so much. Although the term seems to suggest that Columbus' ships were floating arks full of critters to turn loose on the beaches of Hispaniola, it actually refers to any species introductions made by mankind since European colonization efforts in the Americas began. Consequently, it covers a lot of real estate and a few centuries. In academic circles, the Columbian Exchange has further expanded to include similar introductions across the Pacific, and the book is therefore divided along the lines of species introductions across these two oceans.
In the Pacific section, I found the discussion about China and the Ming dynasty – in power during much of Europe's "Age of Exploration" – very enlightening. My elementary-school history text said the Spanish explorers wanted to find a shortcut to China, as if they were kids who wanted to get to Disney World by cutting through the neighbors' yards. No one mentioned that China had an interest in whether or not they ever arrived. In fact, the Chinese economy was starved for something the Spanish had in abundance: silver, which held its worth (at least for a time) while the Chinese imperial monetary system endured crazy ups and downs in valuation. It was this economic fact that drove much of European travel, and by extension, introduction of various plants and animals across the oceans.
Mann's final section discusses the impact of one particular species introduced into new environments: Homo sapiens. In particular, the slave trade. The slave trade may seem like an odd topic to include in a book about potatoes and earthworms, but Mann couldn't have made a credible discussion of the Columbian Exchange without it. The slave trade is how most people who weren't already in the Americas before 1700 AD got there. Mann tells us that 90% of people who made the passage across the Atlantic during that time were African. I was stunned by that percentage, and I know it will stick with me next Thanksgiving, when we are surrounded by images of smiling Caucasian Pilgrims.
The slave trade underpinned the plantation-driven economies that encourage large-scale farming of introduced species: coffee, sugar cane, etc. Other industries, too, depended on slave labor, and not all of the people in bondage came from West or Central Africa. Mann tells us about the guano business in Peru, where Chinese and native populations were pressed into service bagging seabird guano for use as fertilizer in Europe (fertilizer to help grow all those crops introduced to Europe). The movements of large populations and the way labor was marketed over a few centuries profoundly impacted the plant and animal species found in regions across nearly every continent.
Don't pick up 1493 to marvel at the greed and shortsightedness of humanity. Plenty of shorter books will fuel that passion. Read Mann's work because some of the history you already know about will make more sense when discussed from the economic and ecological perspectives offered in this remarkable book.

A Detailed Look at Composite Fillings
A composite or resin filling is made of a mixture of plastic and glass.
It is used to restore teeth with decay, as well as to improve the look of your smile. This can be done by reshaping disfigured teeth and by changing the color of the teeth.
The process of having your fillings placed involves a thorough cleaning of the tooth, all decay is eliminated and then the dentist will proceed to place the resin. In the process of placing the resin, a light in the form of a wand is used in order to effectively solidify and harden the resin. Once it is placed and shaped in the tooth, the dentist will proceed to polish away any ridges or rough edges.
One of the main advantages of a composite filling is the natural look. This is possible because the color can be chosen to match that of natural teeth. The filling will also strengthen the whole structure of the tooth, especially if decay is extensive. It can also provide insulation for teeth and thus can prevent sensitivity with abrupt changes in temperatures.
Composite fillings have become a great option for those who want to change their silver fillings; however there are also points to be aware of.
Composite fillings might change in color, especially when exposed to coffee, tea or cigarettes. Large cavities might need to be changed more frequently than the silver ones, because of the pressure that is exerted on them and the natural wear and tear of the filling.
During routine checkups, dentists will check the state of fillings and will recommend if it is necessary to change them. If you have silver fillings and want to change them for cosmetic reasons, a consult with your dentist can help you make the best decision for your oral health.

Small Home Interior Design Pictures
Published on 2014-04-25 10:05:55. by
Room for children boarding is their home in small appearance. They also want to have a comfortable room. They need small home interior design pictures too. Moreover, if a dorm room is facilitated with bathroom in the room, in the form of a private house seemed small. If that happens then the state of the child as a boarding house to make the room as a multifunctional room in one room where there is a bedroom , bathroom , workroom , and living room . For that arrangement also must look like a house, in terms of neat and convenient for private and for guests or friends who come to visit. The first we have to do is to determine the position of the existing furniture in the room. Of course, I had to adjust to the size of the room in order to not look cramped. Existing furniture in the room: Beds, Wardrobe, Mini Home Theater, Portable Refrigerator, Rice Cooker, Dispenser, Shoe Rack, Plastic Rack Cabinets all mark, and others just shelves – shelves are still not uniform small place. Room paint colors are also very decisive because the color can affect mood and emotions. Use neutral colors to resolve this issue. Bright colors make the room feel more spacious because it can reflect more light.
Incidentally the color of the room is in accordance with the taste, the color Yellow Young, so do not need to update the paint room.

Dave Benfell and a team of Kiwis have completed an epic 2500km Bluff to Cape Reinga tandem bike ride to raise money for injured soldiers.
Everyone is tired but elated, says the ex-soldier from Brookfield.
"It's just been such an amazing experience. The amount of confidence you get when you finally arrive at Cape Reinga is difficult to explain. There have been so many good things come out of this."
One of those good things is the confidence Dave and the riders have experienced having reached their goal of riding on tandem bicycles for 20 days cycling and raising money for his charity Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen's Association of New Zealand (SSAANZ).
"You get to see their faces and realise the journey they have been on ... they are so proud of themselves. It is not just a physical journey but a mental journey."
Operation Ride 2018 is the first of its kind and was organised by the Pilgrim Bandits UK, special forces veterans who use their training to help and inspire injured personnel. SSAANZ is the Kiwi answer to the Pilgrims.
Operation Ride 2018 involved injured soldiers with support teams from New Zealand, Canada and the UK.
Each charity raised money and SSAANZ raised about $13,000.
The bike ride started on October 28 in Bluff and the riders landed at Cape Reinga on November 16, jubilant to have completed the trip.
The purpose-built recumbent tandem cycle were not easy to ride, Dave says. They broke down often.
"Riding the tandems is completely different from riding a regular bike. If the person in the front doesn't work, the person at the back will be shattered."
Dave, from Brookfield, says there were big moments along the way.
"There were four or five guys from the UK who were just supporters who raised money but they helped on the tandems and rode the entire trip. They really stepped up."
There was also the veteran who carried his wheelchair-bound buddy over his back to see the lookout at Mount Victoria. They were welcomed with food and open arms where ever they went.
Operation Ride started as a race, Dave says.
"But what it ended up was as an big combined effort. We all helped each other out when they were sick or tired ... the race went by the wayside. If we didn't do that we wouldn't have made it."
The cycling soldiers included those with amputated legs, burns and brain injuries.
"It's hard to say you are having bad day when you look at teammates and the injuries they have endured ... a lot of stuff we complain about is rubbish. We're really lucky in New Zealand."
Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen's Association of New Zealand (SSAANZ)
Dave took up organising Operation Ride from the New Zealand side, for the Pilgrims to raise money and awareness of SSAANZ.
"SSAANZ is trying to stop the isolation. I want to stop people from struggling. We're trying to create a positive model through activities and adventure sports — workshops such as snowboarding, trout fishing, hunting or family fun weekends."
Dave was in the first battalion Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment from 1996-2001. He joined the British Army and the Parachute Regiment, serving nine years. He was injured in 2009 after joining the Red Devils freefall team. He doesn't want contemporary soldiers to be forgotten.
"There are more contemporary veterans than there has ever been. And we are forgotten. That's why I started this charity. I want them to know that we appreciate their service. It's kind of a thank you to them."
SSAANZ will now be running the Pilgrim's branch in New Zealand.

As the title suggest, this video is the full opening cinematic to the upcoming sandbox slaughter-em-up, Prototype.
If you want to wait until the day that you actually play the game to view the cinematic, then I suggest that you give it a skip, if not, get ready for a pretty cool indication of what the anti-hero, Alex, has in store for anyone who gets in his way.
The cinematic is pretty violent and shows us just some of the nasty methods that Alex can use to end someone's life.
Prototype releases in just under a month (June 9) for PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

What Kindergartners Think of WONDER WOMAN
Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins has shared a heartwarming list of things that a kindergarten worker had purportedly witnessed following the June 2 release of the movie. The source of this meme has yet to be verified or named, but if accurate gives an interesting perspective on how the next generation is taking to the movie.
My producer just sent me this... ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! This makes every hard day worth it. Thank you to whomever wrote it!!???????????? pic.twitter.com/3DzIaMueIh— Patty Jenkins (@PattyJenks) June 11, 2017

President Trump is expected Thursday to welcome conservative leaders to the White House to witness him signing an executive order on religious liberty that critics say is outright discrimination about the LGBT community.
According to Politico, the language of the order is currently being drafted, but according to one source who's seen the document, the language is not much different than that used in a leaked order from February which gave wide, sweeping exemptions to people and organizations to claim religious objections against same-sex marriage, abortion, and trans identity. The order also would have rolled back Obama-era protections against anti-LGBT discrimination in federal workplaces. Vice President Mike Pence has been working with other conservatives on the order since that leak and have recently put additional pressure on the President to sign it.
Speaking to USA Today, one administration official said:
that Trump has been clear about his support for the LGBTQ community — including following the shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando and again during the Republican National Convention — and that he does not support any kind of discrimination. But Trump also believes there should be policies that allow for people to express and maintain their strongly held religious beliefs, the official said.
he official acknowledged it would be a delicate balance and said discussions were ongoing about how best to proceed.
The Trump campaign made a lot of promises made to the LGBT community, but this executive order would essentially be the administration turning their back on them to satiate Trump and Pence's conservative voting base.

It's been a long, strange journey to get Stephen King's magnum opus to the big screen, but The Dark Tower has finally arrived in theaters. The movie tells its own story, but there have been talks of expanding it in another medium in order to fully capture the epic scope of King's novels. With the announcement of a showrunner, it looks like The Dark Tower's television prequel is moving full speed ahead.
REVIEW: Dark Tower Can't Measure Up To Stephen King's Novels
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Glen Mazzara will helm the novel's television incarnation. Fans best know Mazzara as the showrunner for the second and third seasons of The Walking Dead, and to hear Mazzara talk about it, it sounds like The Dark Tower is a dream project, and that he rolls pretty deep in Stephen King lore.
"I've been a Stephen King fan for decades, and the opportunity to adapt The Dark Tower as a TV series is a great honor," Mazzara said. "The events of The Gunslinger, Wizard & Glass, The Wind Through the Keyhole, and other tales need a long format to capture the complexity of Roland's coming of age — how he became the Gunslinger, how Walter became the Man in Black, and how their rivalry cost Roland everything and everyone he ever loved. I could not be more excited to tell this story. It feels like being given the key to a treasure chest. And oh yeah, we'll have billy-bumblers!"
The books Mazzara referenced all take place before the events of the film, following Roland as a young Gunslinger-in-training. The show, which will consist of shorter seasons (somewhere between 10 and 13 episodes) is still being shopped around to various streaming outlets.
In theaters now, The Dark Tower stars Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey, as well as Abbey Lee, Katheryn Winnick, Fran Kranz, Claudia Kim and Jackie Earle Haley.

New Report: The business of education in Africa
"Whether or not we live in Africa, all of our futures will be affected by the success or failure of education on the continent." As markets become more globalised and economies more intertwined, the future, with its myriad of challenges, will very likely be influenced by the next generation. More specifically, many of the solutions to our challenges will likely come from the next generation in sub-Saharan African nations. In fact, by 2035 the total number of Africans joining the workforce will be more than the rest of the world combined. Earlier this month, Caerus Capital, Parthenon-EY, and Oxford Analytica released a very interesting report on the systems that will educate this future African generation.
The report describes that although progress has been made in improving education access and quality, there remains much work to be done. SSA has performed tremendously in making progress on the Millennium Development Goals pertaining to education, but the region still has 30 million children without access to education, and among those who do receive education, they perform poorly on basic learning milestones in literacy and numeracy.
One of the key insights of the report is that the private sector and private capital will be crucial to achieving improvements in the region. The report calls for support in both "core delivery" education initiatives (educational programs for students) and "ancillary services" education initiatives (programs that play a supporting role in education, such as teacher training, supplementary education, and student finance). Brighter Investment is specifically mentioned as an example of emerging student finance models.
The report highlights several key reasons investments in education businesses can outperform standard investment opportunities, which we fully agree with here at Brighter Investment. For example, the report cites that demand for services is usually greater than supply. In our second year without marketing Brighter Investment received 1,000 applications for 50 spots in our program. Keeping in mind this is only in Ghana - we have plans to scale up to other countries! Another reason cited by the report is that prices grow faster than inflation as a result of salaries growing faster than inflation rates. In our 2016 salary research, we found that salary levels for college graduates grew 17.2% while inflation rates across the same time period was at 16.7%.
The dual trends of increasing innovation, creativity, and productivity of African economies spearheaded by its youth, and the need for private capital from individual and institutional investors points to the ripe investment opportunity in sub-Saharan education systems. Private capital will undoubtedly play a key role in the development of this region. Here at Brighter Investment, we see ourselves as a piece of the puzzle in connecting private investment capital to higher education. If our students are any indication of the future of Africa, then it's absolutely clear to us that the potential is huge, and the future looks Bright.

I consider myself an Intermediate Level knitter. While I still have to reference How-To videos, books and articles, I am learning new techniques and comprehending more of the nuances to develop my skills every day. So when it came time for the last piece of the Dealla Cardigan to knit (the cabled edging) I understood what had been left unsaid. Instead of following the chart verbatim I adjusted for the fact that I would be loosing a row by adding an extra stitch along one side. I also noted that nearly all of the comments and feedback on the pattern mentioned it fit more snugly than anticipated. So I decided this would be an easy place to add a couple extra stitches, one to each side of the cable in the purling. Still balanced and nothing I'll have to compensate for later. I cast on for this last section this evening. 24 stitches, instead of 21. I definitely don't anticipate it going as quickly as some of the other sections. 15 repeats of the pattern will likely take 10 days or more. Perhaps in time for St Patrick's Day?!

1 Samuel 8-10/
"When [Saul] turned his back to leave Samuel, God gave him another heart … and the Spirit of God rushed upon him, and he prophesied among them" (10:9-10). God chose Saul to be Israel's first anointed king before Saul had done anything spectacular. Tall and handsome, from a wealthy family (attributes that would help people accept him as king), yet untested, Saul simply received God's Spirit by grace. How he responded to the gift was up to him.
"God is with you" (10:7). Before we have done anything good (and despite our sins), God pours out his grace. How we respond to his salvation, his word, and his gifts is our choice.

How to Find Windows 8.1 Apps in the Store
The Windows Store still provides app groups so that you can browse.
The Windows 8.1 Store still offers you different groups of apps, such as the New Releases, but now you can also easily search for apps in the Store.
Use the Search box to find apps.
In addition to simply browsing the Store, you can use the Search box to look for apps. Here, you're searching for apps that have gas in their name.
Once you see a result that looks interesting, select that result from the list to display the information about the app.
You can find all sorts of great apps in the Windows 8.1 Store.
Unless you are looking for a specific app by name, consider whether the developer may have used an alternative term in the app name.
For example, consider the results of the search shown. Rather than looking for gas, change the search to look for fuel, and you will discover several other apps that didn't show up in the first search.

Spas We Love: Annee de Mamiel
Our treatment with the extraordinary Annee de Mamiel presents us with something of a conundrum: we really need a new section called 'Therapists We Love...' - because while the cosy beauty rooms at Fortnum & Mason are perfectly lovely, it is this gifted therapist we'd walk on hot coals for a treatment with. Annee offers seasonal treatments which are totally tailored to the client - and the season. So Jo went along to experience a 'Summer' treatment - or 'Seasonal Attunement', as she puts it: a 90-minute treatment that includes facial/body acupuncture, sound therapy, a little massage and more, and incorporates Annee's seasonal oil blends (she brings these out every three months).
As with so many therapists who are truly exceptional, Annee basically followed a 'calling'. She suffered a major health crisis in 1998, and as a result began studying Traditional Chinese Medicine, integrating this with an understanding of Western science. She believes in creating harmony and balance in the body - and that, in turn, shows on the face. You might think you're getting a facial; in fact, your entire system's having a fabulous tune-up.
We wish we could tell you exactly what happened during the treatment, but frankly, this review is going to be entirely and unashamedly useless on that front. Which actually says everything. As beauty editors, we're always slightly in 'observer' mode during a therapy, taking mental notes. Occasionally, along comes a therapist who makes us switch off completely and live in the moment. This was one of those treatments, and Jo all but skipped out, with a radiant glow and a surge of summery energy.
Frustratingly for readers, Annee's waiting list is currently closed - although when spaces do become available she does give priority to individuals who buy those seasonal oils, once every quarter - click here to find them. (And you can also sign up here to her quarterly newsletter.) Meanwhile - and watch this space - there are whispers that some very exciting things may be happening in her signature range.
We promise to be first to share that with you. But for now, can we just say: Annee, we really DO love you...?

Hitch falls into what might be the worst kind of bad movie category. It's mediocre. It's not bad enough to be laughable, but it's not good enough to be good. It's just long, boring, and unfunny.
Hitch tries to be sensitive. Alex "Hitch" Hitchens (Will Smith) is a dating consultant who coaches men on how to date women. But really, a more accurate description is he's someone who teaches men how to trick women they're interested in into noticing them. It tries to be sensitive because Hitch is only in it for love; if he senses that a guy only wants to sleep with a woman, he won't work with them. So, that's nice. But what's not nice is perpetuating this idea that if a woman says she doesn't want to date you, you just need to try harder. It's an idea that a lot of romantic comedies go with, that, at least compared to men, women are just child-like and need to be told what's best for them. Good messages all around!
Hitch is in the worst movie ever category. And not because the director, actors, story were terrible. It's just because this movie is so boring! The worst movie experience to me is to be able to predict everything that's going to happen when it happens. Maybe this movie would have been better if it was R, maybe more nudity or some kind interesting adult humor.
The only thing this has going for it is the fact that we can actually believe that Will Smith would teach Kevin James (KJ4Lyfe) how to pick up women. It felt nice that it wasn't Adam Sandler for a change.

Eco Atlantic Provides Interpretation of the Oil Proven in Regional Drilling Results - Source Rocks and High Grade Oil Confirmed in Walvis Basin, Offshore Namibia
May 21, 2013, 12:05 ET
TORONTO, May 21, 2013 /CNW/ - Eco (Atlantic) Oil & Gas Ltd. ("Eco Atlantic" or the "Company") (TSX-V: EOG, NSX: EOG) provides technical interpretation of recent oil proven by HRT Participações em Petróleo S.A ("HRT") in the Walvis Basin and announces appointment of David Dudkiewicz as Corporate Secretary of the Company.
HRT announced last night the results from drilling its Wingat-1 Prospect which confirmed that the well established two different source rocks, and proved that the source rock is in the oil generation window. The well discovered light grade oil and validates Eco Atlantic's understanding of the presence of an oil kitchen in the Walvis Basin, which is home of the Company's three offshore blocks.
This first of a three well drilling campaign in the region for HRT, is located some 200 km to the northwest of Walvis Bay, on Namibia's Skeleton Coast. The Block 2212A and 2212B is located between Eco Atlantic's Sharon and Guy Licenses and just to the South the Company's Cooper License. HRT's original target in this well was a carbonate reef platform charged by pre-Aptian source rocks. HRT announced completion of the drilling of this first well to a Total Depth of 5,000 meters. According to HRT's public disclosure, the Wingat well established and identified two developed source rocks and encountered several bedded sand reservoirs which showed increasingly more oil shows with depth. Additionally, HRT announced that four oil samples of light grade oil (38 o to 42 o API) were retrieved from the well. The reservoir quality of the carbonate reef targeted in the well and its capacity to hold and store oil was less developed than anticipated and the well is defined as uncommercial.
Eco Atlantic has focused on the age maturity and structures within the Walvis Basin and has directed its exploration efforts and focus to defining a source rock of the maturity for oil and the sand reservoirs prevalent in the region. "The confirmation of the source rocks, the sampling of high grade oil, the presence of the resource in the basin and more specifically in the immediate vicinity of our licenses, confirms our research to date and helps define our targets moving forward. The carbonates are an excellent target and we concur with HRT's choice to drill the platform initially. Our targets are a combination of opportunities however, our team remains focused on the Turbidite sand filled canyons flows, the stratigraphic play on Guy and the large wedges that is evident on our blocks and similar to the Murombe Prospect which HRT is drilling next on its schedule," commented Colin Kinley Eco Atlantic's Chief Operating Officer.
Gil Holzman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eco Atlantic commented: "I am delighted with the recent news of HRT's drilling results from the Wingat-1 Prospect which strongly confirms the Walvis Basin's prospectivity and its oil potential. Eco Atlantic is not a tag along play, we were in Namibia early, and had the opportunity to consider licenses throughout the country's four offshore basins. Our team carefully evaluated the oil potential along this unexplored margin and we determined our best prospectivety would be in the Cooper, Guy and Sharon blocks, each having its own geologic personality within the Walvis basin. We are happy with the Wingat results and we look forward to the results of HRT's Murombe prospect which they will begin drilling next week. The current results are very encouraging for Eco Atlantic and this helps to further de-risk the basin. No doubt we are going to see increased farm in activities and renewed interest from mature industry players."
Appointment of Corporate Secretary
Mr. Dudkiewicz is a corporate and securities lawyer and acts as in-house counsel for Eco Atlantic. He received his legal training at one of Canada's leading national corporate law firms and earned his legal degree from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario.
Effective immediately, Mr. Dudkiewicz is replacing Michael Kleinman, the Company's current Corporate Secretary. Eco Atlantic's Board and Management thank Mr. Kleinman for his contributions and guidance during his tenure with the Company.

What is a stem stitch?
The stem stitch is a hand sewing embroidery stitch and a great alternative to the back stitch. When sewn the stitch gives a slightly raised texture with a rope like finish and is therefore great to use on curves as well as initials and numbers. The thickness of the finished stitch can be amended by the number of embroidery threads used. For a video on how to sew the stitch watch our tutorial on YouTube: How To: Stem Stitch.
Sewing a stem stitch
Start by preparing a needle and thread. When using embroidery thread the number of threads used will change the thickness of the finished stitch. We used 3 threads in this tutorial.
Tie a knot at the end of the thread and bring the needle through to the right side of the fabric (leaving the knot at the back of the fabric).
When completing a stem stitch the first stitch is slightly different to the rest of the stitches. We recommend drawing a line (in a removable pen) to stitch along, especially if you are sewing along a certain shape, initial or number.
Move the needle forward 1/4″ (5mm) and enter the fabric. Bring the needle out of the fabric halfway between where the thread exits the fabric and where the needle enters the fabric. Hold the loose thread below the stitching line with the other hand.
Pull the thread through the fabric to create the first stitch.
Move forward from the previous stitch 1/8″ (3mm) and insert the needle into the fabric.
Hold the free thread (that exited the last stitch) below the stitching line with the supporting hand.
Bring the needle back out of the fabric in line with the end of the previous stitch, directly above the stitch. Watch our corresponding YouTube tutorial (How To: Stem Stitch) for a more detailed visual.
Pull the thread through and complete the same technique for the rest of the stitches.
We are completing the stitch with a stitch length of 1/8″ (3mm), however the length of this can vary depending on what you are working on and the fabric you are using. Corners will require a small stitch length to look neat.
When you have finished sewing, start sewing the next stitch (move forward the required stitch length) and take the needle through to the back of the fabric. Tie a knot to fasten the stitching.
Check out our corresponding YouTube tutorial (How To: Stem Stitch).
