When is DreamHost going to be upgrading to PHP 5.3? I've been waiting to use late static binding for years now…
Php 5.3
We're planning to upgrade to 5.3 as soon as we can - some of the new features sound really exciting. (The one I'm really looking forward to is .phprc customization. No more crazy workarounds for custom php.ini settings!)
We're just waiting on a few extensions to release 5.3-compatible versions first. The main one we're still waiting for at this point is XCache.
Great, thanks for the update. Looks like XCache has a 5.3-compatible RC out today. Hopefully this means you guys can do the update soon.
Do post on status.dreamhost when you make the update, if you would. Thanks!
Yep! Hopefully a final release isn't far behind the RC – we'd prefer to not use prerelease software unless we absolutely have to. And yes, we'll definitely stick something up on the status page before (as well as after!) we make a major upgrade like this one.
The full release of xDebug have now been out for about a month. Is PHP 5.3 coming soon or what is Dreamhost currently waiting on?
You can compile it yourself if you're in a rush to use PHP 5.3, then switch to the DreamHost version once they've implemented it across the board.

We're still waiting on a few frequently requested PHP extensions, including the Ioncube loader.
Any news on this? I've stated a new open source project that will run only in PHP 5.3 and would like to point users to use dreamhost for hosting it.
IonCube is still dragging their heels on PHP 5.3 support:
If this takes too much longer, we may end up moving to 5.3 anyway and leaving a copy of the 5.2 CGI around for IonCube users. However, for the time being we'd like to avoid breaking things too badly for our customers who are using IonCube-encrypted scripts.
I hope Dreamhost will decide what to do: either update to 5.3.x either at least update to latest 5.2.11. On many servers we have 5.2.6 and the last one, with various bug and security fixes is 5.2.11. I obviously really hope for 5.3 since the major important additions.
andrewf, it looks as though even if you want, there's a possibility that the new IonCube users would still have to get a re-encoded version of their product to use it with PHP 5.3?
They've "worked hard" to keep backwards compatibility (as of the latest post on Oct. 3rd), but there seems to be no guarantees.
I'm glad you're also excited about PHP 5.3. Lambda functions in PHP will be so nice in certain circumstances.
They say, "Practice makes perfect," yet they also say, "Nobody's perfect". I don't get it.
Wow, it's taken them long enough – four months?! From what I'm reading into their announcement, though, it sounds as the new decoder will be able to read scripts encoded for older versions of Ioncube, so at least that should work.
At least that means we're just waiting for a final release of Ioncube, then. Once that's ready, there's nothing left keeping us from upgrading.
(Personally, what I'm most excited about is PHP 5.3's support for .user.ini files. They're like .htaccess files, except for PHP configuration. Having these available will mean that 99% of customers who are currently using custom PHP setups won't need to anymore.)
It seems as though they've been making progress on the Loader this whole time as the last update listed for their Linux release was April 21st, 2010 (source: http://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php).
Has Dreamhost tested the new ionCube Loaders/decoder yet to see its current level of stability?
They say, "Practice makes perfect," yet they also say, "Nobody's perfect". I don't get it.
Ah, I see progress is in fact being made at Dreamhost:
Thanks, guys!
They say, "Practice makes perfect," yet they also say, "Nobody's perfect". I don't get it.
Is there any news on this?
It's available, as discussed in other threads:
It offers a lot of new possibilities, see here:
I suggest to check on a local development web server (LAMP, XAMPP, and so on) if your applications are all compatible and then switch because not only PHP 5.3 offers many new useful features, but it'also faster. I've seen speed increases about 50%! Obviously it depends from what your application does, but the thing is really faster… which also means less cpu seconds usage on your account that's is so important.
Excellent, thank you!

Is Steve Yzerman coming back to Detroit?
It seems like that.
According to Detroit Free Press, the Red Wings will hold a press conference on Friday afternoon to introduce Steve Yzerman as their new general manager.
After eight years, Steve Yzerman abruptly left his job as general manager for the Tampa Bay Lightning before the start of this season.
That decision sparkled rumors of his return to Detroit and according to reports, Yzerman told Tampa Bay he would be "going home to Detroit."
Now the Red Wings have called a press conference for 3 p.m. Friday at Little Caesars Arena.
Team Owner Chris Ilitch, current General Manager Ken Holland and Hall of Famer Steve Yzerman will be at the news conference.
BREAKING: The Red Wings will introduce Steve Yzerman as their new GM this afternoon, Ken Holland to remain as Sr Vice President. https://t.co/21BaPpS6s2
— Gord Miller (@GMillerTSN) April 19, 2019
No doubt Yzerman wants Holland to remain with the Red Wings. He and Holland are very close. However, sources say Holland has been contacted by other teams, including Edmonton and Seattle.
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) April 19, 2019
Yzerman spent his entire NHL career with the Detroit Red Wings, serving as captain since the age of 21, back in 1986.
He retired in 2006 after leading the team to three Stanley Cup Championships.

My little brother called me today and basically accused me of denying him the joy of reading my blog posts. Ha! Thankfully his nieces said some funny stuff that bears repeating. 😉
(Scene: Outside in the driveway)
Carebear: Mommy, come ride up the hill with us!
Mommy: No, I'm going to sit in my chair and watch you.
Carebear: Watching isn't fun!
Mommy: It is when you're a mommy.
Carebear: Well, when I'm a mommy, I'm going to be active.
Mommy: Oh, really?
Carebear: Yeah, like "you are." (I am not kidding, my 7 year old made air quotes around the words "you are.")
So, I can't hold back and I start to crack up and grab my phone to tell Josh what she said and wouldn't you know it? My darling child experienced instant karma: she snapped her chin in her helmet strap. Poor baby. 😉
(Scene: In the bathroom. I am running water in the tub, while Mickey sits on the pot)
(Background: Every day, I send Mickey a snack which she is supposed to eat at snack time in the afternoon. I recently found out that she's been eating her snack at lunch, and then partaking in whatever snack the teacher gives out. We had a discussion about how she needs to save her snack and eat it at snack time, because when she eats it at lunch she often doesn't finish her lunchbox food. Also the pop tart in question in this post is a made-from-scratch delicious treat with homemade jam in the middle. Just saying.)
Mickey: Mommy, I'm sorry but I ate my pop tart at lunch today. They are just sooooooo good and I couldn't bear it!
Mommy: Mickey, you're supposed to eat it for snack!
Mickey: But Mommy, I just couldn't bear it! I saw it and I just had to eat it! I really couldn't bear it.
You have to admit, there's something funny about a six-year-old going on and on about how she just couldn't bear something. Ha! My goofy girls. 🙂

At the top of the newscast we told about this year's top 25 PSE Performers, five of them from the Orange Walk District. Today though the Ministry did not only release the names of the top performers, they also gave a break down by subject. According to the Ministry of Education, this year's national performance by subject remains on average, similar to the trend seen over the past ten years. Looking a specific subject area, the MOE is reporting that seventy percent of the students that sat this year's English examination scored at the adequate level meaning grade D or better.
In the area of math, results show that approximately 55% of students scored at the adequate level or better this year. In 2018 49% of students had scores in the E or inadequate range…that number dropped to 45% in 2019.
When it comes to science this year showed a decrease in performance by students, in 2018 60% of students scored in the above average range, while this year's performance decreased to 46%.
Social Studies on the other hand showed an overall increase of 22% with an increase of 4% in the number of students whose scores were in the excellent range when compared to 2018.
When it comes to top performing schools, La Inmaculada RC placed fourth followed by Guinea Grass Pentecostal in fifth place in Category 1 which includes fifty or more sitters.
In category 3 which includes 15 to 24 sitters, San Estevan RC placed second while Chan Pine Ridge Government placed sixth.
In the final category which includes school who had only 7-14 sitters Trinidad Government School was tenth overall.

Quincy: The Adams Family
South of Boston, Route 3 reemerges from the I-93 freeway at Quincy (pop. 93,688), home of the Adams family, the political dynasty that helped shape the early republic. John Adams (1735-1826) signed the Declaration of Independence, served as a diplomat during the Revolutionary War, helped negotiate the Treaty of Paris, then returned home to become George Washington's vice president and successor. His son, John Quincy Adams (1767-1848), served as president from 1825 to 1829. Rather than quit politics after losing the election in 1828, he returned to Washington, serving in the House of Representatives for the next 16 years. The rather modest houses where both men were born, plus a nice garden and a historic church, are preserved as part of the Adams National Historic Site (1250 Hancock St., 617/770-1175, daily, $10), which covers 13 downtown acres starting at a visitors center.
More recently, Quincy has been home to the truly huge Fore River Shipyard. This dense forest of cranes, derricks, and scaffolding rises along the south side of the 1930s Fore River Bridge, along Route 3A at the south edge of town.

In 1992, just a week before launching a brand new window treatment installation company, Budget Blinds, Chad Hallock broke his foot while water-skiing.
The stroke of bad luck had an upside, though, because his disability kept him immobile, manning the phones, as his four cofounders—his brother Brent, Todd Jackson, David Lewis and Tony Forbes—pounded the pavement going door to door in Orange County to drum up business. "I booked all the appointments, booked all the installations, booked all the sales calls and did all the filings," says Hallock, now 52. "Those guys went out and did the installations and the canvassing."
Today Budget Blinds is the flagship franchise for the multi-brand home improvement and décor organization Home Franchise Concepts—founded by the five lads in 2006—which closed out 2018 with more than $670 million in systemwide sales under the leadership of CEO Shirin Behzadi. Budget Blinds 1,000-plus locations represent about 30% of outlets in the franchised home decor category, making it the largest player in the space by far, says Jeff Lefler, CEO of franchise industry research firm FranchiseGrade. It's also a good buy for first-time franchisees, he adds. "Budget Blinds provides a ton of training and support, they've got good infrastructure for that, and they've got a solid , reputable, recognized brand," he explains. "And they have limited turnover."
The company's five founders—Jackson, Lewis, Forbes and the Hallock brothers—sold their stakes three years ago when the enterprise was acquired by Trilantic Capital Partners for an undisclosed sum.
The group of guys—all in their 20s when they began Budget Blinds—learned about the window treatment business while working for the home office of another such franchise, Mr. Miniblind, but struck out on their own in 1992 to form their own brand. "We all put $5,000 in the bank—I had to borrow five grand from my parents," Jackson, now 53, remembers. "We made up a bunch of flyers and brochures, set up accounts, and we went out and started knocking on doors."
In less than a year of operation, Budget Blinds was generating six-figure monthly sales results.
To streamline their fledgling operation, each of the five founders took on a different responsibility: Jackson headed operations, Forbes and Brent Hallock handled support, Lewis focused on IT, and Chad Hallock—the CEO—did marketing and sales. They launched as a franchise in 1994, initially charging new franchisees $7,500 in sign-on fees—a relatively minute charge. "We thought it would be great for a person just getting out of college who wants to have their own business but doesn't have $100,000 to get into a typical franchise," Hallock explains. "We were looking to cater to people kind of like us."
They sold a handful of franchises in short order, largely by word of mouth, in their home territory southeast of Los Angeles, as well as in Utah—then a hot market for window treatments. Franchisees, most of whom worked out of their homes, would visit clients, takes measurements, then install the chosen products.
In 1995, to spur growth, Budget Blinds raised its franchise fee to $25,000 in order to incentivize franchise brokers, whose job was to lead prospective franchisees to the brand in exchange for a cut of the franchise fee. By 1998, Budget Blinds had sold 50 locations, and the following four years saw another 150 added to the tally. By the late 2000s, the company was selling locations at a healthy clip and Home Franchise Concepts (HFC) was launched as an umbrella company under which several home improvement brands could operate. The company subsequently grew its roster of companies by launching home storage and organization franchise Tailored Living, and acquiring Concrete Craft, a flooring business. Home Franchise Concepts most recently added AdvantaClean, a cleaning franchise, to the mix.
Along the way, the organization adopted a slightly different approach to collecting advertising and marketing fees from its franchisees. Many franchises collect a small percentage of a franchisee's sales to add to a regional or national ad fund. HFC collected a set dollar amount, based on the total number of franchisees in the system, initially collecting $100 per month, then $500, then $1,000, as unit counts grew. The reasoning, Hallock says, was that more money could buy more internet, magazine and TV promotion for the greater number of franchisees. "It was all part of this vision to say 'I'm going to teach how to do business right now with a small advertising fund, but look what it's going to be when we reach larger numbers,'" Hallock explains. "Sure enough, we reached the larger numbers."
The strategy also motivated franchisees to work to make the ad fund payments, Jackson says. The response to owners who complained they could not afford the up-charge was, "you either need to sell your business or go sell some blinds today—and we can help you do either."
The decision to sell to a private equity firm stemmed from a realization that a home improvement network like HFC could be an attractive target, and the idea of exiting for a healthy sum appealed to the five guys, each of whom had been toiling at the business for more than 20 years. "There was definitely some burnout," Hallock says, looking back. "The business had now gotten so big, and the next step to make it bigger was over most people's heads." Growth, they figured, would come through acquiring and building new brands, which they had little experience with, as well as an upgrade to the technology systems with which it tracked and supported its franchisees. "The business needed a remodel," Jackson concurs.
When Trilantic acquired the firm in 2015, Jackson, Lewis, Forbes and the Hallock brothers sold all but 10% of the company, which they split five ways. Behzadi, who had been the company's CFO since 1999, came away with 1% ownership and stayed on to assume the CEO position. All of the five original founders retired, though Chad Hallock maintained a spot on the board. "The five of us had worked so hard and so long and put our hearts, sweat and tears into the business," Hallock says. "It was time to cash in."

|Boden has many hidden treasures
Hans Jørgen, as planner and mapper for the O-Ringen MTBO, said he would need to spend a lot of time in Boden over the coming year. Each time he went I was drawn back with him, with persuasive arguements: night trains, best breakfast, MTBO training.
|One view from Northern Pagla (unused terrain)
|Control site in the fortress
The biggest problem we had was making the courses simple enough! The areas we were using for days 1 and 2 were incredibly technical. In some places so many tracks we couldn't map them all at the scale we were using, so instead adopted a 'many un-mapable tracks' symbol. Many of the junior courses were the easiest we could make them in the terrain, and still they were a little on the technical side. Normally course planners work to make courses challenging. We had no such problems. The elite courses we could take anywhere. But for everyone else, a lot more thought was required to cater not only the fastest, but also the slowest and beginners. We weren't far wrong as even my mother successfully negotiated the open short course and didn't finish last!
In the races, the key was to bike steady and navigate hard. Many people didn't pick up on this and made some sizeable mistakes! But after the first day we were both happy with the comments about the terrain and courses. Most notably 'the most physical and technical sprint ever'!
The final week, O-Ringen week was tough. We spent 3 days before re-checking and re-tagging control sites as some kindly members of the public/army had removed our tags. For which we are grateful ...
O-Ringen days dawned and we were up early to glorious sun at ... 4.a.m. Too early for me and way to soon for breakfast so it was out biking the 20mins to the event and putting out the SI units on the stakes we put out the day before. Then some biking around checking the units continued to work throughout the competition before collecting in some 6 hours later. We then had to transport our stakes to the next days' terrain and put those out, before being allowed to chill at 5pm. The next morning was the same procedure, Si units out, ride around, collect in. Day 2 was the longest day 4am - 11pm as the chasing start procedure needed to be checked and re-checked to iron out the bugs and allow the start team to practise.
Day three was in 'mygg festivalen' on Pagla. A wonderful ski stadium with a fab view of the start, spectator loop, second spectator control and finish loop. By this point I was fed up of being 'mygged' on Pagla Berget, so refused to leave the commentary house all day!
|View of Rodberget fortress
We had a really professional start team who worked hard putting up the start each day and ensuring it was of a professional standard - perhaps a lesson for future organisers, a few bits of tape stuck to the ground won't cut it anymore!

Happy Anniversary, Issue #010, April 19, 2005 --,
April 19, 2005
If you've recently subscribed to this newsletter, I'd like to welcome you aboard. I hope you enjoy the "read" and find the recipes I include here helpful. If you've received this as a forward from a friend, please consider subscribing to the ezine now.
In this issue you will find:
1. Our Anniversary--What makes it all happen?
2. This month's recipe selections--Dip into Fondue!
3. What's New!
This month, easy-strawberry-recipes.com celebrates its 1st anniversary on the web! (Drum roll, please) For me, personally, it's been an amazing year! I've made the transition from being totally "in the dark" concerning all things "web-related" to being the webmaster of this site and little less "in the dark."
I've learned that HTML is not an abbreviation for Hotmail; that you can teach old dogs (that would be me) new tricks; and that behind every website there lies a human being, a new friend to be made and someone willing to "pay it forward".
I wouldn't have gotten this far had it not been for some very special people. My thanks go out to Elad Shippony (www.coolest-kid-birthday-parties.com) for turning my attention to Site Build It; to Dr. Ken Evoy, founder and CEO of SiteSell.com; to Liane Pifer (www.greatpartyrecipes.com) for your friendship and guidance; and to my family--who didn't mind all that early morning keyboard pounding.
I'm not one to make the "hard sell" BUT if you want your own reason to "celebrate" and you've been tinkering with the idea of making your own mark on the internet, seriously consider Site Build It. I'm living proof that it can be done and I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
Now...let's get this Anniversary Party started!
My idea of entertaining tends to lean towards intimate, small gatherings. There's no better combination than good friends, good food and good conversation. If you don't have a specific celebration in mind, consider starting a Dessert Club. Invite a few good friends to gather once a month for a taste-testing get-together. Review cookbooks and discuss new recipes! It's a great way to keep in contact with old (and new) friends. Here are some ideas to get you started.
12 ounces chocolate chips
Melt the chocolate chips, water, vanilla extract and cinnamon in a fondue pot, paying attention to the manufacturer's directions.
Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise. Remove fruit; core and cut into wedges.
Slice the bananas in diagonal chunks.
Arrange the pineapple, bananas and strawberries on a plate. Dip these fruits in the chocolate and enjoy.
Makes 4 to 6 servings
Fondue is an easy, laid back and inviting dish to serve among friends. Place your fondue pot in the middle of your coffee table and invite the gang to take a seat. Pour some wine....and you've got yourself an evening. Perfect for a book club get-together!
For more fondue recipes check out this collection at greatpartyrecipes.com.
Strawberry Fruit Dip
1 cup strawberries
Blend one cup of strawberries in a food processor. Blend until smooth.
Add the yogurt, cinnamon and ginger to the blended strawberries, then fold in the whipped topping
Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
Use fresh fruit for dippers, and you've got yourself a cool, summer like party dip!
Here's what's new.....
We've joined the new blogging craze by adding an RSS feed to our site. Take a peek by logging on to our new blog. Consider subscribing to keep up with the latest information added to the site.
And don't forget to check out the progress made on our new sister site, easy-child-crafts.com. There you'll find us busy making real crafts for real kids!

Green Day and The Enlightment Period
Posted Nov 4 2009
- Page:
- 1
Road To Nowhere - Set to "East Jesus Nowhere" by Green Day from On Point on Vimeo.
This is not an official Green Day video and is actually a short film called "Road to Nowhere," which is based on their song "East Jesus Nowhere." In the director's own words, "it's 1932- The Devil comes to a ramshackle town to peddle sin and vice and the people must find the strength to resist temptation."
Essentially, a false preacher arrives to a small town, along with some provocatively clad women, accountants, vices such as cigarettes, and blank Bibles. The people fall under this preacher's influence and begin to give him all of their possessions, including deeds to their homes. A stranger comes to town and confronts the preacher, via music and his guitar. This stranger is soon happily surrounded by the women, one of whom destroys his guitar. As the man falls in despair, the preacher gloats, before a townsperson cuts a cable holding a cross, which falls and kills the preacher. The townspeople then chase the women and accountants out of town. The hero takes a necklace with a cross out of the dead preacher's hand and looks up to heaven and God.
Some themes that came out in discussion:
1. The blank Bibles represent a lack of knowledge
2. The devil/false preacher manipulate imagery associated with God to trick people
3. The hero comes, but falls victim to his own pride
4. The townsman represents the "everyday person" who becomes enlightened, showing that ordinary people have the ability to learn and control their own destinies
5. Differentiating between the institutions of church and belief in God or a higher power. Discussion included how some religious figures and institutions have manipulated people's faith to control or exploit them, which religious students saw as a failing of humans, not God. At the end, God is victorious and of course, not all religious institutions are corrupt!
I suppose this could be seen as controversial by some people, but anyone who has even a cursory understanding of periods such as The Enlightenment and The French Revolution will recognize that the themes in the video are nothing new. Below I included some comments from students who sent reflections.
I personally loved the video and not only because Green Day is one of my favorite bands. The video shows examples of how people can be ignorant but as soon as they start to question, that's when they realize the corruption. When the woman were passing out the Bibles they opened it and saw that nothing was written. My interpretation of that is that it was all lies. In The Enlightenment period this happened as the Catholic church was being corrupt. This video has really powerful and makes people be enlightened.-E. F.
The ladies that are with him they pass out blank Bibles. That shows that they do not believe in God. They also give out beer and cigarettes. But in the end, the guy picks up a necklace with a cross and looking up at the sky showing us that he does believe in God.–M. R.
The music video was about a guy with some other girls that were giving out Bibles, bottles, and tobacco. The Bibles were blank. I think they were like that to tell the people to believe in what they think is correct and not what the Bible tells them.-S. O.
Well the video was kind of deep in the sense that they talk about God and they show the Bible as something that is not important at all. I think this has to do with Enlightenment because the people from that town are like ignorant because they don't know that the people from the church are just trying to get money off of them. The guys with black represent the church and the guy with the guitar is saying that only God holds the truth. The church is using symbols, like that cross, they put lights around it to make it seem pretty. The people in black are trying to keep the people from the town ignorant so they don't know that the Bible is not saying the truth. But the guy in white is against them so now the whole town is against them. At the end all of the town becomes enlightened.-A. R.
The video was awesome! Not only was it entertaining but it really helped me understand Enlightenment, power, and the difference between religion and spirituality a lot better. Although everyone was following the "boss" in black the man with the scissors soon realized that it was wrong what they were doing and took a stand by kicking him and the girls out, showing enlightenment.-S. S.
The video was very interesting. I think it relates to the theme of the Enlightenment period because at the beginning of the video everybody was controlled by the priest. It seemed like he didn't want them to believe in God and obviously they didn't. He gave them Bibles with no writing in them, which I think represented non-believers. During the Enlightenment period people gained knowledge and understanding just like the people from the video when the guy came playing his guitar. When he started playing his guitar everything seemed to change. People's expressions changed, even their thoughts about God. He enlightened their minds and opened their eyes.-L. F.
The video that I saw was offensive to all of God's believers. Some individuals believe in one God (and) some assume that God is like a "fairy tale". Using attractive women next to the person who doesn't believe in God will make other people (question) is God real or not. They will become followers. They will think that if they don't believe in God they will get attractive women like the individual who is passing out blank Bibles, trading Bibles for money, jewelry, and deeds. The anti-God person tries to make people change their minds about God. What happens later is that people who do believe in God kill the person who is saying all that nonsense.-S. M.

Healthy School Lunches: Make the Most Out of Lunch
The results are in: being a parent is tricky business. Many of our team members know from experience. Making healthy school lunches is just one of many tough tasks for which parents are responsible. For many of us, we can barely find the time to make school lunches at all – how are we supposed to make them healthier?
No need to worry.
Educating yourself is the first step, and you're doing that right now! Here at Nebraska Family Dentistry, we know that good oral health is a major component of optimal overall health. For that reason, we'd like to offer some information on why healthy school lunches matter.
The Silent Enemy of American Health
While millions of dollars are poured into health solutions and research each year, Americans are still among the least healthy in the world. Whatever it is that makes us unhealthy seems to be silently lurking in the background. So what is it?
You can probably come up a list of your own, but we know of one enemy in particular that hides in every American home. The sad thing? Most people already know how bad it can be, and it's still wreaking havoc. We're talking about something so common, you've probably had a considerable amount within the past hour.
Sugar makes up a massive portion of the American diet. In spite of its deadly good taste, it is horrible for oral and overall health. A growing body of research has linked sugar intake to inflammation within the body. This inflammation affects our vital organs drastically.
The following infographic contains a handful of facts that will put American sugar consumption into perspective for you. It was originally published at www.onlinenursingprograms.com (which is no longer a website) and was republished by Forbes. And parents: if you're feeling guilty by this point, don't worry! We believe you can change. And if you already know sugar is bad and are looking for solutions, there is more information beneath the infographic.
Playing a Role in The Solution
Sugar is bad. We all knew that before, and now we're simply more convinced. So what can you do?
When it comes to keeping yourself healthy, positivity is key. Remind yourself that you're living in the solution! As much as we harp on sugar, it doesn't mean a thing unless we do something about it. And while eliminating sugar is beyond the scope of healthy school lunches, it's a huge step to just improve your child's nutrition.
Some of the most common problems with sugar come from juices, soft drinks, and candy. Avoid keeping these in the house and you won't have the option to pack them in your child's lunch. The occasional sugar splurge isn't going to hurt you, but regular consumption might. Because of that, keeping it away from the house will help you avoid it at home.
What are some common hidden sources of sugar in our kids' everyday diets?
- Yogurt
- Sports drinks
- Milk
- Juices
- Cereals
- Bread
- Chicken nuggets
- Canned fruit
- Noodles
- Pop tarts
You can also check labels for sources of hidden sugar, such as:
- Mean Table Sugar
- Brown Sugar
- Raw Sugar
- Turbinado Sugar
- Honey (even raw)
- Maple Sugar
- Corn Sweetener
- Dextrose, Glucose
- Fructose and any other word that ends in an "ose"
- Barley Malt
- Rice Syrup
- Liquid Cane Sugar
- Concentrated Fruit Juice and others
Don't be fooled by the name organic when it applies to sugar. Sugar is sugar, organic or not. All of the above names are names that can appear on labels, but they ALL mean sugar and ALL will cause the inflammatory effects in sugar when consumed in large quantities.
How Healthy School Lunches Can Change the Game
While you're at work, your child spends their entire day in school. For most children, lunch is the only meal they'll eat at school. If that's the case, healthy school lunches will have an enormous impact on your child's nutrition. And if you want to have this impact, you'll need to prepare a little.
Pack lunches early, and you'll have more freedom to make the most out of lunch. It doesn't need to take long, but take the extra time to make fun, healthy snacks. Similarly, use your home to experiment a little, using the foods your child already likes.
Having conversations with your child is an often-overlooked part of this preparation. Educating your kids is a helpful tool. And even if your child doesn't take to your ideas at first pass, they'll often agree in the long run. Be kind in your approach, and your information will go a long way!
Learn about the best foods to pack when making school lunches
Extra Tips for Packing Healthy School Lunches
While it's essential to have a general overview of basic nutrition, it's equally helpful to have a few tangible tips. You can make your child any lunch you want, but that doesn't necessarily guarantee that they'll eat it. Here we've compiled some helpful tips from our team members that will you help make healthy school lunches a regular part of your child's life.
What foods will have less sugar and make healthy school lunches?
- Fruits
- Vegetables
- Baked Meat
- Hard-Boiled Egg
- Beans
Invite your kids to help you make lunch.
It's basic human motivation to be more invested in something you contributed to. The same principle applies with your child's lunch. If you invite them to help you make their lunch, you'll see two major benefits: 1. Your child will be much more likely to eat the foods they packed, and 2. They'll learn how to pack their own lunches, saving you time as they grow up. If you give them options within the "healthy food" spectrum, they'll choose the most appealing one and will actually eat their food.
Download nutrition or meal-planning apps to supplement your knowledge.
The modern world is full of resources that often go unnoticed. If you use a smartphone, you can look at the App Store or Play Store to see tons of nutrition-based apps. Apps like MyFitnessPal and FatSecret can help you count calories, sugar intake, and other useful nutrition facts in seconds.
Browse the internet as a resource.
While we're on the topic of resources, be sure to check the web for healthy recipes. Today, more information is shared between people than ever before. Most of us haven't gone a single day without scrolling through some kind of news feed and seeing recipe videos for clever food and drinks. Social networking websites like Pinterest and Facebook are a great tool. They'll allow you to share your ideas, learn about others' ideas, and the like. Use their potential as a tool to keep your kids healthy!
If you have any more questions about healthy school lunches, feel free to give us a call at 402-412-7141, or at any of our convenient locations. For more health and wellness tips, be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram!

Do you wake up in the morning with a headache or sore jaw? If so, you may want to come into our office and be evaluated for bruxism, a condition where you grind your teeth at night—which can be very damaging to your teeth.
We may treat you by suggesting a night guard, one way to alleviate the negative side-effects of bruxism. A night guard is worn at night while you sleep to cushion your teeth from any unconscious clenching and grinding. You can get an inexpensive "boil and bite" mouth guard/night guard at any pharmacy or sporting goods store, but your dentist can provide one that is custom-made to fit your mouth and teeth.
While a night guard's main function is to prevent the surfaces of your teeth from grinding together, causing you to chip and crack your teeth and strain your jaw muscles, there may be other factors that are causing you to clench and grind that may need to be addressed.
Stress – Often bruxism is caused by nervous anxiety. In these cases, you may want to try practicing relaxation techniques, meditation, exercise, or professional counseling to find ways to relax.
Diet – Avoid dietary stimulants like coffee, tea, energy drinks, and anything with a lot of caffeine.
Medication – You may be taking medication or supplements that contain stimulants. Discuss with your dentist the medications you are taking. Some anti-depressants can cause the problem.
Alignment Issues – Some forms of malocclusions (bad bite) can contribute to bruxism. We can remedy this form with teeth straightening and re-alignment.
If you would like more information about bruxism, call Dr. Amber Angel and our helpful team at Angel Dentistry. Phone: 602-788-2008. Make an appointment or come by our office in Phoenix, Arizona.

Trump renews fears of global trade war
This week we have been rocked by two irrepressible forces of nature – the "Beast from the East" weather front and Donald Trump's Twitter feed.
While freezing weather has caused chaos across the UK, the suggestion that the US might impose heavy tariffs on steel and aluminium imports has the potential to do the same to global trade. While there has been a lot of noise surrounding the Trump presidency, he has largely followed the Republican playbook. If the trade war materialises however, this could cause a major shock to the global economy.
Elsewhere markets were spooked by Jerome Powell, the new Fed Chair, who gave his first speech since taking over. While he's widely seen as a safe pair of hands, hints that he might hike rates faster than his predecessor caused some turmoil. We have often been dismissive of the fevered interest rate speculation that often gripped the press in the past but this time the attention is justified. The reversal of ultra-loose policy will be the deciding factor in market behaviour for the next decade.

Not sure if it was the heat or how everything was organized but this is a skip for me. I wouldn't do it again. The tour was huge and there were so many other tours going on at once. We ended up standing around for long periods of time listening to long stories and I didn't feel like I learned much about the history. We ended up leaving the tour early, but that was probably more to do with the heat. The guide was okay.Verified TripShock! Traveler Review

It was a good quirky history of NOLA. I didn't mind the rain, but there were so many other tour groups taking place at the same time that there were times we didn't get the prime spot. Also consider either having headsets or decrease the size of group.Verified TripShock! Traveler Review

4-1 Ghost, Voodoo, Vampires & Witch Craft Tour
The night our tour was scheduled, there were also many others at the same time. As a result all of them were at the same stop at the same time which made it almost impossible for us to just listen to our guide. I think it would have been much better if each group took a different route to cover the same ground. We left 1/2 way thru because of this.Verified TripShock! Traveler Review

Different angle still interesting
Liked to hear about the true story of voodoo, demystifying it. Liked walking around and hearing about events in the actual sites where they happened. Also liked to learn about the vampire that seems to have lived in a property over there. Surprised two stops were bars where we were encouraged to purchase drinks, because it might help our perception of the supernatural? In general I was expecting the tour to be about sightings of paranormal activities or witchcraft but it actually is more focused on big crime sites, gruesome stories of mortal people or epidemics. Then they claim those places may be haunted and they provide a few stories about ghosts in the place.Verified TripShock! Traveler Review

text: If a person has said they made a mad dash for it, what they mean is that they went extremely fast in an uncontrolled way. To go very fast without much thought to what you are doing, and so quickly that you cant really control your motions; it is referred to as a mad dash. Mad in this instance is referring to the slang term for crazy pr eccentric, so when someone makes a mad dash, all they care about is speed and getting there, but not necessarily what happens on the way.

Ewha Womans University invited Kang Kyung-wha, Minister of Foreign Affairs, on April 9th (Mon), and held a special lecture on 'political issues on the Korean Peninsula and the global diplomacy' at the Lee Sam-bong Hall of the ECC building. This was her first time to visit a university and deliver a lecture after her inauguration, and that was live on Facebook of Minister of Foreign Affairs.
On this day, over 600 Ewha students filled at the Lee Sam-bong Hall and Multipurpose Hall of the ECC building to participate in the event hosted by Ewha Institute for Social Sciences and Career Development Center. Presided over by Professor Sohn Ji-ae (Department of International Studies), a former CNN Seoul bureau chief, the event provided the greeting of Kim Hei-sook, the president, the special lecture by Minister Kang Kyung-wha, and a questions and answers session for one and a half hours.
Minister Kang Kyung-wha said in the lecture that Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been making efforts to address nuclear issues of North Korea and set a peace on the Korean Peninsula, referring recent diplomatic successes, including a successful hosting of Pyeong Chang Winter Olympics and Paralympics and agreement to hold the South-North and US-North summits. In addition, she stressed that Korea needs to diversify diplomacy in accordance with a higher status of Korea in the international community, and put emphasis on the importance of young women's role in the global stage which becomes wider through the diplomatic diversification. The minister urged the students to widen their perspective to the world and to foster their own competitiveness, saying that the building of gender equality society and women's active participation in all sectors of society are the premise of national development. In the Q&A session with students, there were talks about △Korea's diplomatic policies beyond four powers of the United States, China, Russia and Japan △following measures on a deal on "comfort women" between South Korea and Japan △Korea's participation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

ORANGE PARK, Fla. — The pilot of a small plane that had crashed into the backyard of a home Tuesday morning in Palatka was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, authorities said.
The plane went down about 11:15 a.m., coming to a final rest in the yard of a home on Oleander Drive off Dogwood Lane, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Richard Jackson, the homeowner where the plane crashed, spoke to First Coast News.
"I was standing in my backyard and all of a sudden I heard what sounded like an explosion," Jackson said. "I looked up and here comes a plane crashing down out of the sky with a parachute behind it. It landed in my backyard."
The pilot, 62-year-old David Thomas of Apex, North Carolina, suffered minor injuries in the crash, troopers said. He was flying from Raleigh, N.C. to Leesburg when he started having engine trouble, according to FHP.
Thomas was forced to deploy his plane's parachute to assist in the landing.
The homeowner says Thomas was released from the hospital on Tuesday afternoon and he told her that the parachute saved his life.

Many small companies look for a cheap web host because they want to keep costs lower. If your free or low cost hosting company winds up costing you clients, this may be because they are not able to offer you everything that you ideally need.Keep reading to find good web hosting tips for all of your online needs.
You have two options for hosting: shared or dedicated hosting.If your website receives a great deal of traffic, as it will limit your ability to properly serve the customers. It is a good idea to find a web host that is dedicated.
Choose a host that does not have constant outages. Don't listen to their excuses! Any company that makes excuses for lengthy outages. Frequent outages are a sign of a unprofessional business, so it's best you do not commit to this company.
When looking for a web host, select one that resides in the specific country of the audience you are targeting. For instance, if your target audience is in France, it is in your best interest to select a provider that operates a data center from within the country's borders.
You should inquire about the security measures that are in place when selecting a web host. In this society, websites are frequently under attack, and there are always a great number of potential threats. Be sure that the web host has procedures to deal with common threats like DDoS attacks. You should ask what the potential risks are for your site if the web host is under attack.
Choose monthly payments instead of subscribing for a web host. You can't predict the future of your business or the web host. If you become dissatisfied with service or your site grows too big for the host to accommodate, you would lose the money you had already paid to the service, unless the host states otherwise.
Are you considering a web host that is free for the website you are starting? If there is a system failure or downtime, you've lost everything.
You should select a web host service that offers enough space for your site. A simple HTML page doesn't require much space, but images and videos quickly gobble up space.
Use this information to tweak the way that you change aspects of your website to attract more customers.
Many web hosting companies are actually rely on an even larger host.
Try to find a host that includes SEO features if you want to boost traffic to your website. This feature often allows you with search engines.
Be aware of scammers and hidden fees. Many providers won't disclose extra fees that come with it. Find out every potential fee upfront to avoid shock when you will be really paying each month.
Do not be cheap if you are finding a web host. If customers cannot get to your website, you will quickly lose your customers and then your business. Put the suggestions and information from this article into use. It will help you steer clear of the mistakes often made by small business owners when deciding on their web hosting service.

A gaming YouTuber from Gainsborough is gaining quite a following as his channel hits more than 100,000 subscribers.
Jake Hand, 19, makes videos about racing games, primarily the Forza franchise, providing exclusive and informational videos about Forza games.
Jake said: "I've always been interested in YouTube and gaming, I used to upload random bits and bobs on YouTube from time to time for the last eight years but never thought anything of it."
It was in 2017 that Jake decided to make something out of it.
He said: "I've recently managed to get more than the 100,000 subscriber goal, with nearly 25 million total views, and nearly 100 million minutes watched."
Jake says YouTube can be a lot of work, and stressful at times.
He said: Sometimes a video can take more than 12 hours to create and some of my most popular video, which have had 3.3m views took 15 hours to complete, however it's a good feeling to know I'm helping tens of thousands of people out on a daily basis, or even just entertaining them."
Jake went to school in Gainsborough but he moved away to Portugal for a few years.
However he says people have started to recognise him.
He said: "It has gotten to the point where people I don't know recognise me in town from watching me online and knowing who I am.
"It's amazing to be able to make a living off something I enjoy, cars and games.
"One of the things I like most is riding my motorbike, so to be able to make a living from YouTube based on bikes and cars is great.
"My next goal is to hit a million subscribers.
"It may seem a long way away but I'm a tenth of the way there with a decent fan base standing behind me, so I'll keep grinding until I get there."

Surico, P and Mumtaz, H (2018) Policy uncertainty and aggregate fluctuations. Journal of Applied Econometrics, 33 (3). pp. 319-331. ISSN 0883-7252
This paper estimates the impact on the US economy of four types of uncertainty about (i) government spending, (ii) tax changes, (iii) public debt sustainability and (iv) monetary policy. Following a one standard deviation shock, uncertainty about debt sustainability has the largest and most significant impact on real activity, with negative effects on output, consumption and investment after two years around 0.5%, 0.2% and 1.5% respectively. Uncertainty on the other economic policies has also detrimental consequences but these tend to be smaller and short-lived, especially for taxes and monetary policy. About 30% of output fluctuations are explained by policy uncertainty at most frequencies, with the lion's share accounted for by debt sustainability. Our results are based on a new empirical framework that allows the volatility of identified shocks to have a direct impact on the endogenous variables of an otherwise standard structural VAR.
