Suggestion: Maybe instead of spawning a new ship to gather loot, you can just repurpose the current closest, returning salvage ship to pick up that loot too (just so long as the total RUs and all the items are kept track of. If the cargohold is full then it ignores repurpose commands and docks asap.
Another bug: If you have loot bearing salvage ships, and you use the [G]rbit Mothership, Cov[3]r mothership or [J]ock all ships Now commands, then the salvage ships do that, and you permanently lose the loot RUs and Items.
Possible fixes:
1. make all Salvage and Boarder ships ignore all such commands
2. Let them follow commands but add a check so that the ship in question remembers that it's carrying loot, and will deposit that loot whenever it next docks with the mothership.
I'll test the new version, but AFAIK manufactured squads are borked so that they instantly run off to the gate unless you quickly [J]ock all ships Now, and then when you launch them again, you have to immediately command them or they gate out.

Waiting for U.S. TourTalk about concerts promoting the Rock Dust Light Star album in 2010 and beyond...
Waiting for U.S. Tour
I just wanted to post, that if Jamiroquai doesn't come to the United States this year for RDLS, I will be really sad. I want to see them live.
I really hope they come out this way. I would be really happy if they hit my city -Detroit!
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
Yes! Me and 2 of my friends are dying to see Jay live! Please come to San Francisco - or San Jose is even better. Not Oakland, please. But if I have to go to Oakland, I will. I'll take the chance of taking a bullet to see Jay! I have never seen Jamiroquai in concert. It would TOTALLY ROCK!
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
LisaTheLisa -if you're willing to take a bullet for Jay then just come to Detroit when they hit this city.
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
Yeah, well, I can drive to Oakland in an hour and get shot there. But I would have to buy a plane ticket to get shot in Detroit. So I am just going to hold tight and hope he comes to northern California! We got the best weed out here anyway and I will gladly share with Jay!!! Jay - I'll role us a blunt - come on over!!!
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
I know, I'm kidding.
I'll come out for that too!
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
OK Giba7- Come on out! I have enough for you and the whole Jamiroquai band! We can smoke and blast Jamiroquai tunes! Then we can drive to San Francisco and go to Baker's beach (nude beach). Then we can go clubbing. It will be a blast!
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
Are we the only 2 Americans on this website? Seems like it . . .
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
Hahaha! Okay!
Eschoendorff is from Michigan too. And Tiffanypie from the area.
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
You've got me here, as well!
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
Erin -where you been? Time to represent.
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
Yes.. please.. I am ready... I am going to dance my blues away...lol..
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
Derrick wrote on FB: "I would like to say a big massive thank you to ALL OF OUR FANS IN EASTERN EUROPE .... Now we are going to finish off the rest of the tour and i am sure that future gigs will be just as good!!!!!!!!!!"
And they have 20 dates from now thru August 7th. (that's a lot!)
I think that is official. The end for RDLS!
Doesn't look good for US. Face reality!
And I assume 'future gigs' may be for future music.
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
They are going to finish out the year.
And no U.S.
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
As it says in the "Contact" section of the website:
If you own a reasonable sized arena or are putting on a festival, preferably somewhere sunny, then contact Jamiroquai's Booking Agents ITB - +44 020 7637 6969
So...does anyone have have an arena or festival plans somewhere in the U.S?
I live in Southern California, so the "preferably somewhere sunny" part is covered.
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
Really? This is what they have in their booking info?
Oh please.
I don't think it's our weather, why they don't tour!
I'm sorry, I'm about to spit something out wicked. I'll come back tomorrow!
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
And I've said it before...
...I think they would be very to surprised to see the overwhelming response if they were to tour the U.S. again. Even for just a few major cities. I think the crowd turnouts would be mind-blowing!
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
i still remain hopeful even though it feels like the north american fans are being ignored
i know it ain't recent news but we still have a few more months till 2011 is over, so anything can happen by then
it nice to know there is a way to contact their booking agent but i guess we the fans can't get them for a gig by ourselves, we need the venues and promoters to do that
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
Thanks Funkyette -I never go to Funkin.com
Did they release RDLS in Canada?
I think they had intentions to release in U.S. But I don't think it's going to happen. At least for RDLS.
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
i think RDLS was released in canada around the same time it was released in europe...also it was released in mexico...i really don't understand why it hasn't been released yet in the US unless they haven't come to a final agreement on how to promote and distribute it nationwide or maybe they already have made an agreement and waiting for the right time to surprise the american fans, who knows
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
I think they will.
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
Hey! I'm another American waiting for Jam to come here! I will fly anywhere in the US to see them, even Europe if that's what it comes to.....
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
Welcome rjmexted.
But if you're planning on seeing them in Europe, better buy your ticket soon.
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
Just caught my first gig in Barcelona last Sunday. I'm from Minnesota and was lucky enough to catch a show while backpacking in Europe... It was AMAZING!!! Please, Jay, if you see this COME TO THE US!!! I can't wait for my next one!
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
it might belong in a different forum/topic but i wanted to share this since its kind of relates to US tour:
yesterday i had a dream that they announce US tour dates, i was super excited since it would be my first time seeing them live so i bought a ticket for a nyc show...i go there and its at a weird place during the daytime, as soon as the band came on and about to perform the power goes off and the concert is cancelled...i got so upset and sad that a fan next to me told me i was making a big deal out of nothing (in reality that probably wouldn't be a normal fan's reaction if a concert got cancelled right on the spot lol)...so i left the room to look for jamiroquai so i can at least meet them...i run to so many sections of this place and couldn't find them anywhere so i went back where the concert took place and when i got back, they were back on stage with the power back on ready to start the show and i wake up
its a weird dream and it felt real for a moment....as i woke up, i got my laptop on and search for any info online if jamiroquai are finally coming to america...unfortunately no luck i thought maybe my dream was foretelling something but idk....however i still remain hopeful that they will come to america, they did it for their last album so why not for RDLS?
i really want to know why it still hasn't been released in the states since it was officially released elsewhere and only a couple of online articles briefly mention talks about the US release and that was last year
c'mon jamiroquai and record company, please promote RDLS in America...we been waiting so patiently and appreciate your music...you have a loyal fanbase scatter across this nation, we deserve at least a couple of tour dates to see you guys perform live
Re: Waiting for U.S. Tour
Hail to the Vikings!!
Oooops, I'm off topic!!
Back on topic:
funkyette...Too bad all of that was a dream. I can't say I'm surprised we've been resorted to dreaming. The mystery of RDLS here in the States remains just that...a mystery. But rest assured, I will hopefully be the one to ring any bells of information that might come our westward-way!

What is panic disorder?
A panic attack is an uncontrollable and terrifying response to ordinary, nonthreatening situations. People who experience recurrent panic attacks, have persistent anxiety or fear regarding their panic attacks and change their behavior in an attempt to avoid further panic attacks may have panic disorder.
Individuals with panic disorder are likely to experience some combination of the following symptoms during a panic attack: sweating, hot or cold flashes, choking or smothering sensations, racing heart, labored breathing, trembling, chest pains, faintness, numbness, nausea or disorientation. They may feel like they are dying, losing control or losing their mind. Panic attacks typically last about five to 10 minutes but can vary from only a few minutes to almost an hour in some cases. During the attack, the physical and emotional symptoms increase quickly in a wave-like fashion and then slowly subside. A person may feel anxious and jittery for many hours after experiencing a panic attack.
Panic attacks can occur in anyone. Chemical or hormonal imbalances, drugs or alcohol, stress, poor sleep or other situational events can cause panic attacks. In some people, panic attacks are mistakenly interpreted as heart attacks or respiratory problems, as these can cause similar symptoms. Therefore, prior to the diagnosis of panic disorder, a thorough evaluation should be performed to ensure that no underlying medical condition is the cause of the symptoms. This evaluation may include blood tests (e.g., thyroid tests), urine tests (for drugs and alcohol), electrocardiograms (EKG) and a physical examination.
What are some problems that people with panic disorder experience?
Many people with panic disorder "fear the fear," or worry about when the next attack is coming. The fear of more panic attacks can lead to a very limited life and, in some people, can cause agoraphobia, an intense fear of feeling trapped in a public place. People with panic disorder may avoid the places they used to go to or stop doing the things that they think trigger their panic attacks. This can cause significant occupational and social problems if a person feels uncomfortable going to work, school, family gatherings or other events.
Similar to people with other anxiety disorders, people with panic disorder are at increased risk of developing other mental illnesses. Many people feel sad or depressed about how panic attacks have affected their lives, and up to half of the people with panic disorder may eventually be diagnosed with depression. Alcohol and drug abuse can also be a serious problem for some people with panic disorder, both as a trigger for panic attacks and as a type of self-medication that can quickly get out of control. Panic disorder, particularly if untreated, can raise the risk of suicidal thoughts or acts.
Even people without the added difficulties of depression and substance abuse may feel very scared and ashamed of their panic attacks. The associated secretiveness and feelings of shame or low self-esteem that occur with this illness can cause some people to isolate themselves from their friends and family. Other people are unwilling to go anywhere or do anything outside their homes without the help of others they trust. This can be very concerning or confusing for loved ones who are trying to help. Therefore, it is recommended that friends and family of people with panic attacks encourage their loved one to seek treatment for their illness.
What causes panic disorder?
Panic attacks occur frequently, and approximately one in 20 Americans will be diagnosed and treated for panic disorder each year. Panic disorder is more common in females than males (2-to-1 ratio). Scientists have not isolated a single gene in studying panic attacks, but it is generally thought that there is a genetic component to panic disorder. This means that people who have a parent with panic disorder are more likely to develop the disorder themselves. Scientific studies have shown that areas of the brain function differently in people with panic disorder. Inappropriate activation of a region of the brain called the amygdala—which is involved in the fight-or-flight response—has been associated with panic disorder in research studies. However, brain imaging is not a practical clinical tool to make a diagnosis.
People who experience high levels of stress in their lives are also at increased risk of developing panic disorder. For example, people who have been physically or sexually abused, people with severe medical illnesses (e.g., asthma or heart disease) and people who abuse drugs and alcohol are at increased risk of developing panic disorder.
Is panic disorder treatable?
Panic disorder is generally very responsive to treatment. People who are able to remain in treatment can expect to have less severe and less frequent panic attacks as well as anxiety in between these events. Complete recovery is a reasonable goal for many people, although a significant percentage of individuals will experience further episodes later in life. This suggests that ongoing treatment may be indicated in certain situations.
Recovery from panic disorder can be achieved either by taking medications or by a form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) that is specific for panic disorder. Studies suggest that medication and CBT are about equally effective, and the decision about which treatment to choose depends largely on the preference of the individual seeking treatment. There is also evidence that the combination of CBT and medication may offer some benefits over either one alone. Some medication treatments probably work a bit faster but are likely to have increased adverse side effects than CBT. Also, when successful treatment is finished, people who have had CBT tend to remain without symptoms for longer than people who have taken medications.
CBT involves exploring the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. People will learn to understand the links between their bodily sensations and their emotions and how their subjective fears can increase the symptoms of panic attacks. For some people, understanding the brain's connection between fear and the physical symptoms of a panic attack can be extraordinarily helpful in decreasing symptoms. For other people, exposure therapy is useful in learning how to experience the symptoms of a panic attack without "losing control." By simulating the symptoms of a panic attack in a controlled environment, some people can learn to control their fear of future panic attacks and decrease the severity of their symptoms. Family members and friends can help a great deal in this process when they are supportive and encouraging.
Medications are most effective when they are used as part of an overall treatment plan that includes supportive therapy. Antidepressants and antianxiety medications are the most frequently used medications for this disorder. Medications called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are commonly used. These include paroxetine (Paxil), fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), citalopram (Celexa) and escitalopram (Lexapro). A serotonin norrepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), venlafaxine (Effexor), also has FDA approval for panic disorder. These medications can successfully control the symptoms of panic attacks but may take up to two or three months to achieve their full effect. Another commonly used class of medications is benzodiazapines which includes lorazepam (Ativan), clonazepam (Klonopin) and alprazolam (Xanax). These medications can be highly effective in the short-term but are usually not indicated for the long-term treatment of panic disorder. The most appropriate medication for each individual will depend on a number of factors and should be discussed with one's doctor. Furthermore, a person should also discuss with the doctor whether or not any medication prescribed is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (US-FDA) for the treatment of panic disorder, or whether the doctor feels "off label" use is indicated. If the latter is the case, ask your doctor about the reasoning behind this.
Healthy living practices can also help people to overcome panic disorder. Aerobic exercise, a proper and balanced diet and decreased use of caffeine and alcohol are all very important in decreasing symptoms. For many people, learning how to reduce stress through meditation and mindfulness are also very useful.
Peer support is a vital part of overcoming panic disorder. Family and friends can play a critical role in the treatment process and should be informed of the treatment plan and of the ways that they can be most helpful.

White House staff to be furloughed due to sequester
Middle-class Americans may not be the only ones facing the impacts of the sequester: According to the White House, even the West Wing will be subject to the across-the-board spending cuts that went into effect last week.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters today that there are "a number of ways" the White House will be hit with the consequences of sequestration - from cuts to ongoing projects and budgets for equipment, to furloughs and pay cuts among staffers.
"The White House and the components of the White House are affected by the sequester in a way that's similar to other government agencies," Earnest said today. "When it comes to ongoing projects, when it comes to purchasing equipment and supplies, but we're also a pretty personnel-heavy agency, if you will, so that means that there will be agencies - that there will be employees of components at - who work here at the White House that will be facing pay cuts, that will be facing furloughs."
Earnest reiterated the oft-repeated Democratic refrain that sequestration is "bad for our economy" and "a bad way to run a government." And while the White House tends to emphasize the impacts sequestration will have on the middle-class, Earnest tried to give reporters "a sense of what behind the numbers is the tangible impact here" at the White House as well.
"There will be some supply purchases that are put off and it's going to have an impact on the personnel here at the White House - pay cuts, furloughs, and other things," he said. "In the West Wing as well. Anybody who works at the White House."
In recent days, there has been some controversy over various reports that White House officials may have exaggerated the impact of sequestration, possibly in an effort to build support for a deal to replace the cuts with the "grand bargain" President Obama seeks. But a small group of Republicans has begun seizing on the idea that sequestration might not be that bad for the national economy after all - and Republicans are blasting the president for claiming the cuts would "put the nation into a state of post-apocalyptic disorder," as a Republican National Committee (RNC) email put it recently.

The most parsimonious explanation for the results is that humans behave more rationally and less cooperatively when under cognitive load, at least when it comes to retribution. This echoes (Bazerman, White, & Lowenstein, 1995), which found the same increased rationality and decreased fairness when decisions had to be made simultaneously, and fits other findings (Robert & Carnevale, 1997) that socially complex situations create more rational behavior.
The interaction effect shows that cognitive load primarily effects those who would behave cooperatively, but that it has little effect on those who would behavior selfishly. This finding supports the view that humans cooperative warily. Cognitive load did not effect those who acted selfish because they had already ceased cooperating, so could only effect those who have cooperated somewhat already.
Interestingly, a one-way ANOVA with student belief on whether rulebreakers should be forgiven as a factor showed equivalent means across neutral cooperation (F = .253, p = .616), negative cooperation (F = .007, p = .935), and cognitive load (F = .029, p = .864) if the rulebreaker was sorry. Nearly identical results (F = 504, p = .479; F = .504, p = .479; F =.005 , p = 944; sic) were found without the "sorry†clause. In other words, descriptive knowledge about punishment did not translate into procedural knowledge about punishment and, unlike procedural knowledge, did not vary by cognitive load.

I read a lot of blogs and I see so much hostility that seems so unnecessary. We all ultimately want the same sex equality and sexual health. Why should we be so vicious in arguing over our tactics for making it happen?
I think a lot of it is based on the anonymity of the internet. It's easy to keep a closed mind and direct anger and shame at people you disagree with when your name and face aren't behind your words. It's too easy to dehumanize the other side when all you see of them is the written word and sometimes a picture. Not like when a person is standing there in front of your face, breathing and emoting.
I think the personal anger on each side is in fact justified because everyone has been personally attacked. That's not fair, it hurts, and in turn it angers. But of course then the cycle starts all over again.
I think Jane at good girls don't put it best in her very excellent post on Operation Cross Country and sex work.
I don't think sex work is a "free" choice, nor do I think it's a reconstitution of the patriarchy. I think it's something in between.I recommend reading the whole post, as she eloquently covers a lot of the nuances missing in this discussion. There's so much grey area here and when we get caught up in these black and white verbal fist fights we miss all of it. I hope that we can find a better way of discussing this that involves a lot more mutual respect.

Paramount has released the first trailer for Michael Bay's Pain and Gain, and it's kind of fantastic. Based on a true story, the film stars Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson as two bodybuilders who get caught up in an extortion ring and kidnapping scheme that goes terribly wrong. Wahlberg and Johnson look to make an incredibly strong comedic pair, and Wahlberg in particular appears to be in excellent form as a bodybuilder with big dreams. Though the film was made on a budget of $22 million, Bay's visual style is unmistakable and there's a strong Bad Boys vibe that permeates throughout the trailer; the description of the film as "small-scale" is only applicable when you're taking about Michael Bay. All in all, this is promising stuff.
Hit the jump to watch the trailer. Anthony Mackie, Rob Corddry, Ed Harris, John Turturro, and Rebel Wilson co-star. Pain and Gain opens April 26, 2013.

Posts Tagged 'Susan Boyle's cat'
Susan Boyle's cat Pebbles: Stop judging her Simon Cowell, she's my crazy cat lady.
Posted April 19, 2009on:
Susan Boyle is a sensation. She is Britain's talent, the new face of "embracing womanhood" and a living example of success sans beauty. She is "oh my god…blah…blah…love her…and some more blah". I have had enough of it already. Somebody please wake up the viewers from their fantastic journey into the dreamy lands of Susan Boyle and the despised comb. I'm still reeling under the fact that not just Britain but Simon Cowell's masterpiece has spread like wildfire all across the world. The media lights go flashing and Simon Cowell goes cashing. Every time I see Susan Boyle and Simon Cowell together, I can't hear her 'brilliant' songs but all I hear is 'Ka-ching'.
The reason why I wrote this and you read this…
I am amongst the chosen few on the path of enlightenment, attempting to wake the gullible millions but my attempts go futile daily. Well, there's always a tomorrow and if I don't get them, reality sure will. I am sure the recession has had some effect on the feel-good factor that Susan Boyle brings to the table. I wonder how many of the job seeking men and women wake up everyday to go for an interview and show up with 'unkempt hair'. How many actually 'dare to dream that dream'? I sometimes feel helpless, sitting there watching millions of videos being thrust in your face of a woman who is against washing her hair and being hailed for it. Billions of people searching online for her, if she has clean teeth, six fingers on a hand or tattoos under those grandma dresses. I feel like the last guy on the planet to see through this bullsh** but there is someone or something that lurks behind the shadows. Someone who knows all about Susan Boyle, her 'boyfriends', her 'virginity','kisses' and a lot more…Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you Pebbles, Susan Boyle's cat.
Pebbles : I dreamed a dream and Susan killed it…
Pebbles has seen it all and very tired of its owner's startling episode of stardom. Pebbles has been with Susan since she had been singing with combs but never brushing with them. Pebbles was with Susan when Simon Cowell came up with one of the biggest scams in the history of 'reality television'. Pebbles was there when Susan dreamed a dream to become the female Paul Potts. Pebbles has seen it all and is very tired. It had hoped that Susan would start combing her hair at least for television but that never happened. It had hoped that the Grandma dresses would return to the drawers but they never did. It had hoped that Simon would stop visiting but that's not going to happen anytime soon. So, Pebbles, too, had dreamed a dream but Susan, not life, killed it. A dream of a clean owner with less than two chins, lazy mornings with no choir practice and some Tuna once in a while. It not working out well for Pebbles. I feel for it. Maybe we all should be feeling for Pebbles rather than Susan Boyle because if anyone or anything has got talent to putting up with sh** 24×7…it's my good friend, Pebbles.
If you feel for Pebbles, leave a word, shout or a meow for him…
Susan Boyle is an enigma in reality TV circles these days. The 47 year old Scottish woman has touched millions of hearts with her unkempt hair, her puppy dog face and her blanked expressions. The lady is an overnight superstar with more searches and hits than Britney Spears at the present moment, which brings me to the worrying realisation that what if it's all a gimmick? What if under her loose clothes and even looser skin, lurks a diva just biding her time before the finale erupts on unsuspecting Britain. Considering the fact that she is the most popular thing in Britain at the moment, what would you say is stopping her grabbing a comb, throwing out her grandma pants and unleashing the 'diva' within? Well it is the dark lord, alright. The dark side of Simon Cowell is much darker than we thought. His 'cruel remarks' on reality television is an art in itself but with Susan Boyle, he has taken the game to a whole new level.
He says Britain's got Talent. I say they got talent alright. It takes a lot of effort to reassure audiences initially that Susan Boyle got through the first few rounds as she could sing well. Well, my cat can sing well too but it never leaves the house without brushing its hair. What reality television demands are lookers and by god, Susan Boyle is precious in these times. She is Simon's hidden weapon which disarms viewers from their personal insecurities of the contestants looking better than them and then takes the same viewers to a whole new level filled with pity, sympathy and admiration. Simon Cowell has endured Paula Abdul long enough to know that 'Make-up' is not the answer to everything. He has gone for the ugly duckling instead.
Media is filled with reports of "The Woman Who Shut Up Simon Cowell." She is the new face of hope. Susan Boyle is the ray of light that has banished the 'Dark Lord' from his lair. I say give me a break and a big one at that 'cause while everyone seems to be falling head over heels on Simon's masterpiece, I wonder how many of us can actually see the light?
This is what is happening ( or could have happened for all those who are going to come back to this page when I'd be saying" I told you so"). Susan Boyle is not what she seems. Susan Boyle is youngest of nine and I'm scared to think what the other eight look like. She has a ten year cat Pebbles that probably gets a spanking every time it tries to fix Susan's hair. It's not the cat's fault. They like owners with combs and Pebbles hasn't seen one on Susan since she got used to the fact that Simon visits more now than ever before.
She say's she's never had a boyfriend. I say not till she met someone like Simon. She say's she's never been kissed. I say once she wins this thing, we'll have her singing "I kissed a girl" live with Katie Perry. They say she is the most talented woman on TV today. I'd say if you look closely through that lovely set of hair and you'll see Paul Potts beaming at his second coming.
Simon Cowell has created an enigma which he knows very well how to market. He's got talent. Britain's got Susan Boyle. Everyone's got fooled. She is a dream come true but only for the producers who are laughing all the way to the bank, right as we speak. Media suggests Simon Cowell showed his softer side after Susan's performance. I say he was just falling in love with the woman who's giving him what none could give before. Sky rocketing TRP's.
When this show gets over, everyone would be glad Susan won. Simon Cowell might be the richest in UK, maybe after the Queen. Susan would get a long-due make-over and transform herself into another Paula Abdul (well she's been kept away from the mirror too long, I think she deserves it). Simon would then be heart-broken at what could have been. Susan would become a multi-millionaire pop star. The viewer's would be shocked. The world would be in a tizzy at all that's happening around them. All that would be left are me and Pebbles shaking our heads. If only you had taken Pebbles more seriously. I did.

What the Audience is Saying
Emma, Scotland"This show was astounding. Having heard about the controversy surrounding this play, I was completely surprised to find a show that simply used the issue of sexuality to question what was the true message of the story of Jesus. I walked away moved, challenged and completely amazed. "
-Emma, Scotland
Don Christopher Morton"I do not have the words to tell you how deeply I was affected by what I experienced last night. You are the hope of this world, what God intended us to be. I know that sounds corny, but it gives me a little hope where there once was none. What went on that stage went far beyond just acting, that was magic."
-Don Christopher Morton
Michael, Glasgow"Reading the summary I was expecting a farcical comedy that mocked the story of Jesus... what I got was entirely the opposite and I will be forever grateful. Being fairly religious myself I have to say I wasn't offended in the slightest - the story highlights what the new testament is really about: hope, love, forgiveness and sacrifice! No matter how ridiculous you think a gay love affair between Jesus and Judas may be, hold your breath before seeing this. "

With the crisp fall weather having arrived, so has the desire for warm and hearty dishes like this Cajun Shrimp Stew from Emeril Lagasse's latest cookbook, 'Sizzling Skillets and Other One-Pot Wonders'. In his tribute to single dish recipes, he shows there's nothing more satisfying than a comforting meal prepared in your most cherished pot or pan. And unlike some comfort food, this dish is warming, but not heavy. Lagasse initially gained fame in the culinary world, taking over from Paul Prudhomme as executive chef of Commander's Palace in New Orleans, which is where he began fusing elements of French, Spanish, Caribbean, Asian, and Lagasse's native Portuguese cuisine. Later of course, he rose to become one of television's most iconic food personalities.
Emeril Lagasse's tribute to one-pot wonders is available on Amazon
In his recipe for Cajun Shrimp Stew, a rich homemade shrimp stock makes all the difference, and provides a fortified base for the dish. The stock starts with cooking the shells from the shrimp being used for the stew, creating a good quality aromatic fish stock with layered flavours of savoury vegetables and fresh seafood. Left to simmer for about an hour, the stock is done.
A slow simmered shrimp stock cooks for about 45 minutes
The secret to the recipe though, is getting the roux to the right colour — a little darker than peanut butter. It should take about 10 minutes, but browns quickly, so it's best to take your time. Chopped onion and garlic are then added and cooked for about 5 minutes, at which point the shrimp stock is slowly added to the roux and whisked until smooth.
The secret to the recipe though, is getting the roux to the right colour
— a little darker than peanut butter
Bay leaves, black pepper, cayenne, thyme, and salt are then added to the sauce and left to simmer for about 45 minutes. Emeril then suggests adding potatoes, but other root vegetables work well too, such as rutabaga, turnips, carrots or parsnips. Cooked for an additional half an hour, the sauce becomes rich and thick, with the shrimp added just before serving so that they stay nice and tender. Served over a bowl of hot steamed rice, and 'Bam!' as Emeril would say, you have a warm and delicious Cajun one-pot wonder.
Cajun Shrimp Stew
Serves 6-8
1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
1/4 cup minced garlic, about 12 cloves
10 cups shrimp or fish stock
2 bay leaves
1 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
3/4 tsp cayenne
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 1/2 tbsp kosher salt
3 baking potatoes or other root vegetables, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup chopped green onion, green part only
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley leaves
Steamed long-grain rice, for serving
Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium-high heat and, when hot, add the flour. Whisk to combine and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until a medium roux is formed, about 10 minutes. It should look a bit darker than peanut butter. If the roux begins to brown too quickly, reduce the heat to medium or medium-low and take your time. It's important that the roux not be burned or the stew will have a bitter taste.
As soon as the roux is the right color, add the chopped onion and cook until soft, stirring occasionally, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the stock, little by little, and bring the sauce to a gentle boil. Add the bay leaves, black pepper, cayenne, thyme, and 4 teaspoons of the salt and reduce the heat so that the sauce just simmers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the floury taste is gone, 30 to 45 minutes.
Add the potatoes and continue to cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are very tender and the sauce is thick and flavorful, 30 to 40 minutes longer. Add a bit of water or chicken broth to thin the gravy should the stew get too thick during the cook time. The sauce is meant to be thick and rich but not pasty.
Toss the shrimp with the remaining half teaspoon of salt. Stir the shrimp, green onion, and parsley into the stew and continue to cook until the shrimp are just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and adjust the seasoning to taste if necessary. Serve in warmed bowls over hot rice.
Rich Shrimp Stock
Makes 12 cups
1 to 1 1/2 lb shrimp shells and heads
1 tbsp vegetable or olive oil
14 cups water
1 large onion, unpeeled, roughly chopped
1/2 cup roughly chopped celery
2 small carrots, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
2 bay leaves
1 tsp salt
2 tsp black peppercorns
3 sprigs fresh thyme
2 large sprigs fresh parsley
Rinse the shrimp shells and heads in a large colander under cold running water and allow to drain. In a large stockpot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add the shrimp shells and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shells are pink and toasty-fragrant, 4 to 6 minutes.
Add the water and all the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil over high heat, skimming any foam that comes to the surface. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook at a slow simmer until the stock is flavourful, 45 to 60 minutes. Strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a large heatproof bowl and allow it to cool completely.
Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days before using. The stock can also be placed in airtight containers and frozen for up to several months.

Two Folio Weekly readers alerted us to this amusing sign taped to a barricade over a pothole on Oak Street in Riverside Aug. 21.
The sign reads," This pothole has been here almost one year! But we are putting a swimming pool in the stadium?"
"I thought it was pretty funny, so I thought I would share," wrote Kelly White, a senior account executive at The McCormick Agency. Her office is near the pothole.
John Winkler, president of Concerned Taxpayers of Duval County, also emailed photos of sign he happened to see. He said it was coincidental that First Coast News' Ken Amaro showed up with a photojournalist at the same time.
"It is the beginning of the great revolt to restore core services and end the circus subsidies — pitchforks and torches cannot be far behind," he wrote.

SAN FRANCISCO — Global semiconductor sales are expected to increase by 6.9 percent in 2013 to reach $320 billion, driven largely by growth in smartphone and other mobile computing devices, according to a new forecast from International Data Corp. (IDC).
IDC projects that chip sales will grow an additional 2.9 percent in 2014 to reach $329 billion. The market research firm projects that semiconductor revenue will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2 percent from 2012 to 2017, hitting $366 billion in 2017.
Semiconductor sales declined by 2.7 percent in 2012, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association trade group. It was the third time chip sales had contracted year-over-year since 2001.
IDC said a number of factors -- including continued global macroeconomic uncertainty, a slowdown in China, the eurozone debt crisis and recession, Japan's recession, and the US sequester -- could all affect global semiconductor demand this year.
But, IDC said, mobile phones and tablets will drive a significant portion of the growth in the semiconductor market this year. PC demand continues to wane, but strong memory growth and higher average selling prices (ASPs) in DRAM and NAND will boost the semiconductor market in 2013, IDC predicts. The firm said it believes semiconductor inventories decreased in the first half of 2013 and are now in balance with demand, setting the stage for growth to resume in the second half of the year.
"Semiconductors for smartphones will see healthy revenue growth as demand for increased speeds and additional features continue to drive high-end smartphone demand in developed countries and low-cost smartphones in developing countries," said Nina Turner, IDC's research manager for semiconductors, in the press release.
Turner said less expensive smartphones in developing countries will account for an increasing portion of the semiconductor market. "PC semiconductor demand will remain weak for 2013 as the market continues to be affected by the worldwide macroeconomic environment and the encroachment of tablets," she said.

This was the beautiful just-past-sunset view of Cedar Rapids Iowa as I was landing on Wednesday evening.
Such a beautiful sight!
After a very quick connection in Detroit ( I had 10 minutes to run from the arrival gate to my next departure!) I was worried that luggage may not have made the connection, but I crossed my fingers the whole way.
The worst that would happen? Things would come in the next morning and we'd have everything by noon. I could start a workshop without the class sample just based on the "test blocks" that several students make before they even come to class.
And the truth of the matter is – I've only had to do this once, when I taught in Kenora in Canada and the bags got left in Minneapolis never making it to Winnipeg until the next day.
We could do it if we had to.
Such a fun day to reconnect with those who were here 2 years ago, joined by new folks I'm happy to get the chance to know!
Oh, and the Checkerboard Rails Leader & Ender challenge is happening in class! Take a look:

The tick season generally occurs during the summer months, but warm weather can activate ticks as early as March. I had not realized ticks were out and about until I got a text from a volunteer last week. Apparently, Kylie, our mascot, was there at PetSmart with a tick in her ear. Kylie thinks she is a hunting dog and likes to play in the pine trees around our house. During the summer months, I check her over to make sure she has not been bitten by one of the little blood suckers. So now I will be checking her, and myself, daily to ensure she has not brought in unwelcome guests.
Ticks are parasites that feed by latching on to an animal host, imbedding their mouthparts into the host�s skin and sucking its blood. This method of feeding enables ticks to harbor and transmit diseases. Ticks are responsible for at least 10 different known diseases in humans in the U.S., including Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Ticks can also transmit diseases to our pets.
Does cold weather kill ticks? No. They do not die until they have lived their two-year life cycle. They survive the cold by burrowing underground, hiding in tall grass, or in shrubs. They will remain inactive in temperatures below 45 degrees. The warmer temperatures are bringing them out of their winter nap so you should start seeing them.
How about prevention and control? Young deer ticks often hide in shady, moist ground litter, but adult ticks can often be found above the ground clinging to tall grass, brush and shrubs. They also inhabit lawns and gardens, especially at the edges of woodlands and around old stone walls. No natural, vegetated area can be considered completely free of infected ticks.
Deer ticks cannot jump or fly, and do not drop from above onto a passing animal. Potential hosts � which include all wild birds and mammals, domestic animals and humans � acquire ticks only by direct contact with them. Once a tick latches onto skin, it generally climbs upward until it reaches a protected or creased area, often the back of the knee, armpit, ears or neck.
In tick-infested areas, the best precaution against ticks is to avoid contact with soil, leaf litter and vegetation as much as possible. However, if you garden, hike, camp, hunt, work outdoors or otherwise spend time in woods, brush or overgrown fields, you should use precautions to reduce your chances of getting a tick borne disease.
After spending time outdoors, make these easy precautions part of your routine:
* Wear enclosed shoes and light-colored clothing with a tight weave to spot ticks easily
* Scan clothes and any exposed skin frequently for ticks while outdoors
* Stay on cleared, well-traveled trails
* Use insect repellant containing DEET (Diethyl-meta-toluamide) on skin or clothes if you intend to go off-trail or into overgrown areas
* Avoid sitting directly on the ground or on stone walls (havens for ticks and their hosts)
* Keep long hair tied back, especially when gardening
* Do a final, full-body tick-check at the end of the day (also check children and pets)
To remove a tick, from you or your pet, follow these steps:
* Using a pair of pointed precision tweezers, grasp the tick by the head or mouth right where they enter the skin. Do not grasp the tick by the body.
* Without jerking, pull firmly and steadily directly outward. Do not twist the tick out or apply petroleum jelly, a hot match, alcohol or any other irritant to the tick in an attempt to get it to back out.
* Place the tick in a vial or jar of alcohol to kill it.
Being prepared can help you prevent health risks, to you and your pets, associated with the tick bites.

|System: PS Vita
|Dev: NetherRealm Studios
|Pub: Warner Bros.
|Release: May 1, 2012
|Players: 1-4
|Screen Resolution: 544p
|Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Partial Nudity, Strong Violence
by Sean Engemann
The Mortal Kombat series has an extensive history of praise for solid fighting mechanics and intriguing backstory, but also controversy due to the extreme violence, which mostly stems from the many opponent-dismembering fatalities you can perform. The 2011 version delivered exactly what fans were yearning for, while shunning the conservative outcry, testing the boundaries of the ESRB with its graphic content.
The PS Vita version is technically a port of last year's title, but is crammed with so much more stuff that it's worth checking out, even if you already own the console copy.
Although quick versus battles are the standard fare of any fighting game, I wouldn't exactly call it the meat of Mortal Kombat. The story mode will take you awhile to chew as well, and each bite packs flavor. It's the standard plot of old, with a group of Earthrealm warriors pitted against the combatants of the Netherrealm in mortal kombat. Some have enlisted of their own volition, some coerced, and others by happenstance. Relationships are formed and broken, there are internal conflicts on both sides, side stories permeate the plot, and it's all blended perfectly into the context of the tournament. In fact, the progression of the story transitions seamlessly into the gameplay itself, and again back out when the battle is finished. Depending on your skill level and the difficulty you've chosen, you could eat up quite a few hours just seeing the story through to its epic conclusion.
If you need some extra training, the game comes equipped with combat and fatality tutorials, as well as a practice arena. With each character sporting their own exclusive basic and special attacks, combos, and a handful of fatalities and babalities, it's always worthwhile to hone your skills before hitting the PvP or testing the harder difficulty ladders. Added to the mix are tag team battles, where you can swap between characters mid-battle and unleash more attacks and combos. You can even record your practice round, creating custom chains that you can refer back to whenever you need a refresher. Each character's move list can be accessed via the pause menu in any battle against the A.I., allowing you to jump into combat from the get-go and build your combo training as you see fit.
If you're looking to dive right into the nonstop action, the first choice on the title screen—aptly named "Fight"—is where you'll want to head. The classic arcade Ladder awaits you, where you work your way through several opponents and eventually embark on a final match against Shao Kahn. For an extra kick (literally), there's a Tag Ladder where you pick two characters to take on your opponents. You have access to all thirty-two warriors right off the bat, including Skarlet, Kenshi, Rain, and Freddy Krueger (the post-launch characters from the console title). Also, since this is a Sony-exclusive version, Kratos comes packed as a bonus. It's a robust list to choose from, and if you're eager to master each one (which is a requirement for you Trophy completionists out there), that alone will rack up the hours needed to justify the value of your purchase.
But the action doesn't stop there. For some quick spurts, you can test your Might, Sight, Strike, Luck, Slice, or Balance. Might and Strike have you breaking boards, bricks and other objects using strength or precision. Sight is a variation of the shell game, except the shells are replaced by decapitated heads. Luck throws a slot machine into the mix, adding several handicaps in the match for an added challenge. Slice and Balance are two exclusive diversions for the Vita. Slice has different body parts flung onto the screen which you must swipe with your finger to split in half, while Balance has you teetering over a pit where you must keep steady by angling the Vita back and forth, with failure plunging you to a gory death. It's a couple of fun ways to pass a few minutes with the new control functions, but it's nothing groundbreaking.
In combat, the bone-crunching X-Ray attacks can be implemented with a quick tap on the screen, which in the heat of a battle is a nice, simple method using the system's touchscreen. However, not all is executed well. Fatalities can be performed by swiping your finger in the pattern of the move specifications, and, while responsive, this certainly is not as quick as inputting the sequence via the control pad and thus feels completely tacked on. Thankfully, this is optional, as is the use of the analog stick for movement. In a game where combos are key to success, the control pad greatly overpowers the stick in accuracy, and with no diagonal inputs or sweeping motions to worry about, it's simple and requires far less memorization. This is a good thing, because one of the most touted features of Vita version is the 60 frames per second, which keeps the action at a fast clip. The powerful hardware of the system keeps the resolution strong, and I have yet to see any lag. In this respect, it certainly feels like a successful crossover from the console version.
What did take a hit, though, are the character models. Of course, the cinematics are spot-on from the 2011 version and look absolutely gorgeous, but because the game transitions directly from cutscene to combat, the close-ups definitely show where developer NetherRealm trimmed the memory. It's not that they look bad, but the character models are easily discernible from the varied backgrounds, and some of the facial designs are just plain scary. Johnny Cage, as the prime example, looks more like Nicholas Cage with an afro during his pre-combat taunts. And I simply can't look at or listen to Raiden during a cinematic scene and not picture Superman wearing the God of Thunder's costume.

CHULA VISTA, Calif. (AP) – A Southern California man has been arrested after police say he whacked a taxi with a didgeridoo in an argument over the fare.
U-T San Diego says the 31-year-old man and a woman were picked up Sunday night in Chula Vista then fell asleep during a 20-minute ride to a home.
Police Lt. Phil Collum says when they arrived, the man got into an argument with the cabbie over the fare.
Collum says he went into the house and came out with a didgeridoo – a long, wooden instrument from Australia.
Collum says the man threatened the driver with it. The cabbie drove off, but the man allegedly chased the cab and whacked it several times with the didgeridoo, denting the vehicle.
Arriving police arrested the man on suspicion of vandalism.

The University of Rochester Institute for Popular Music will continue its "In Performance" Series with a concert and lecture series celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' first U.S. performance on the Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964.
On Sunday, Feb. 9, 2014exactly 50 years, to the hour, after that famous nationwide broadcast aired to 73 million viewersa concert honoring the Beatles and their music will begin at 8 p.m. in Strong Auditorium on the University River Campus, featuring performances by faculty, students, and Rochester-area 60s band The Smooth Talkers.
"At the end of 1963, the Beatles took over British popular music in a way that no one had ever done before," said John Covach, director of the Institute for Popular Music and chair of the music department in the University's College of Arts, Sciences, and Engineering. "In 1964, the Beatles conquered America and the world."
But according to Covach, the Beatles' lasting contribution was their ability to cash in "that initial fan popularity for enough artistic freedom to really make a difference in the evolution and development of popular music."
The Beatles celebration will kick off on Wednesday, Feb. 5 at 7 p.m. in Dewey Hall 1-101 with a lecture by Andy Babiuk, noted instrument expert and author, who will discuss the musical gear the Beatles' used on stage and in the studio.
Walter Everett, professor at the University of Michigan and author of two books on the Beatles, will also give a Beatles celebration lecture on Sunday, Feb. 9 at 2 p.m. in Lower Strong Auditorium.
On Sunday, Feb. 9, Covach will also launch his free, six-week online course, The Music of the Beatles, through massive online course platform Coursera. The class, which currently has over 23,000 enrolled participants, will analyze the musical development of the band.
All Beatles celebration events are free and open to University faculty, staff, students, and the general public, space permitting. For more information contact Elaine Stroh at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 585. 275.9397.

I am not going to share the whole history at this time because it includes some erroneous information; and I have discovered so much more about him since then. Eventually I will write a new history about him, but right now I would like to share the news article extractions that she included.
A few years ago, his daughter Lillian Beck while working in the Geneology Library in Montpelier found some old Paris Posts, that used to be published in Paris. At one time it was called the "Southern Idaho Independent." She found several articles in them telling more about him and she copied them off. So I will put them in as they appeared in the paper, as they tell things about his life better than I can.
Jan. 18, 1889 Southern Idaho Independent
T. J. Smedley Justice of the Peace, filed bonds and took Oath of office Jan 14th at Comissioner's meeting.
Legal summons dated 17 Oct. 1883 to J.C. Rich v.s. Chris Nelson by T.J. Smedley, Justice of the Peace, Southern Idaho Independent, Robert Spence Publisher.

In the voluntary retirement of Judge Smedley to private life , the Parisians lose an upright and honorable Judge. In the delicate position he has occupied as a judge between his fellow citizens, he has judged righteously or as nearly so as the evidence would justify, and has won the respect and esteem of all who know him. From Nov. 28, 1890 Southern Idaho Independent

The Shameless Justice issue: on its way!
I can't remember the first time someone told me that "life isn't fair," but I know that I've heard it too many times to count. It's hard to remember a month in my adult life where I haven't had it said to me, and, in the process of sitting down to write this letter, I realize that it's entirely likely a month hasn't gone by when I haven't said it to someone else.
When I reflect on these three words and unpack their implications, I can't help but feel uncomfortable with how many of us talk about fairness and how we understand our relationship to justice. "Life isn't fair," means that we understand right and wrong, that we understand justice, but that we have also grown to accept the sad reality that our day-to-day lives are often affected in ways that are inconsistent with these values. The statement suggests a push for complacency and acceptance, because that's just how things work.
I am tired of hearing these words. I am tired of saying them, too. Yes, life isn't fair, but also: yes, it should be. And: yes, we can imagine a fairer world when those three words are used to start a conversation, not end one.
We hope to start that conversation with this issue of Shameless. In it, we ask important questions about our justice system and whose interests it serves (p. 18), we advocate to replace systems of punishment with those of community-led restoration and healing (p.28), and we provide a breakdown of how to affect the laws that affect us (p. 24). We challenge the policing of our classrooms (p. 10), our bodies (p. 13) and our closets (p.40), and we explore justice as it relates to the environment (p. 16) and our access to food (p. 38). With this issue, we hope to start a conversation about justice that can be used to challenge a culture of complacency and, in turn, fight for a fair and just world.
Yours Shamelessly, Sheila email@example.com

An Alabama teenager was accidentally shot in the head during a prank. WAFF's Marie Waxel reports.
An Alabama teen was shot in the head by a friend when a prank backfired, NBC station WLBT.com reported.
Jesse Rainey, 15, and seven other teenage boys, were spending the weekend without adult supervision at a rural home in Tuscumbia, AL.com reported.
Some of the teens decided to play a prank and flipped the electrical breaker to turn out the lights, AL.com reported. Colbert County Sheriff Ronnie May told AL.com that Rainey hid in a closet inside the home as part of the prank.
When one of his friends opened the closet door, Rainey jumped out to scare him. The rattled boy fired the .38-caliber handgun, shooting Rainey in the head, according to WAAYTV.com.
"This was a close group of young men who decided to play a prank," May told AL.com. "Right now, we're looking at this as an accidental shooting." No charges were filed.
Rainey, who is a 10th-grade student at Colbert County Heights High School, is in critical condition at Children's Hospital in Birmingham.
According to AL.com, investigators said no drugs or alcohol were involved but "several long guns and handguns" were brought to the home.
"We've found no indication that this was planned by anyone," May told TimesDaily.com. "We believe this was a prank that went terribly wrong. We continue to pray for Jesse and his family. We hope he is able to return to his family soon."

RaspyPlay4 is a high-fidelity audio board for Raspberry Pi A+, B+ or Model 2. It sheds concerns regarding its looks and branding; it's all about function. Stripped to the bare essentials, the RaspyPlay4 focuses solely on delivering you the best audio experience you can have on a budget.
That's not all; the devil is in the details. For example, the System clock (MCLK) is generated by PLL which is integrated in the DAC chip, reducing high-frequency electromagnetic interference, which further improves the audio experience.
Then there's the ultra-low-noise voltage regulator, the hardware volume control, the footprint where you can add an IR receiver for remote control, and a 2×5 connector for an optional LCD.
Its biggest feature will be your music library. You can play your music on RaspyPlay4 from a USB flash, a USB hard drive, an SD Card, a NAS server, or even stream it through AirPlay, or any other web radio. Supported formats are FLAC, ALAC, mp3 and WMA.
Alternatively, you might also consider Volumio, another free Hi-Fi Audio player compatible with the RPi.
The RaspyPlay4 board ships with one 4-pin male header that can be used to populate the UART interface, and one 2×5-pin dual-row male header that can be used to populate the LCD interface.
If you have the ability to laser-cut acrylic, there are two free RaspyPlay4 enclosure designs available to download from PlayCut: The LayerStyle and Classic.

This time, a cheap Chinese knock-off company trying to grab headlines is not our subject, but rather one of the Goliath's of portable gaming: Sony. According to PocketGamer, an inside source has admitted Sony's chagrine at lately being eclipsed by the brouhaha riddled iPhone – considering the iPhone's gaming success and first rate online store, this is hardly an eye-blinker.

Pyaasa lyrics and translation: Tang aa chuke hain
Translations of some songs from Pyaasa (1957) continue, with Tang Aa Chuke Hain, beautifully sung by Mohammad Rafi. This song was placed at an alumni party, with Vijay (Guru Dutt) asked to sing for an audience among which was his college sweetheart Meena (Mala Sinha):

Dental Care Isn't Just for Teeth: Whole Mouth Health
|Dental care is about more than brushing your teeth. Learn how caring for your gums and mouth is an important part of a good oral hygiene routine.
If you brush your teeth at least twice a day, you are off to a good start on the journey to optimal oral health. However, for many Americans brushing their teeth is the entirety of their daily oral care routine, and they neglect their gums and other areas of their mouths. To keep your teeth and gums healthy and strong, it's important to take a "whole mouth health" approach to your dental care.
Flossing is an essential part of any good oral hygiene routine that is often neglected by Americans. Flossing can remove food particles and bacteria that can become lodged between the teeth and at the gum line, where your toothbrush can't reach. As gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in the United States, keeping your gums healthy is a necessary step on the way to whole mouth health.
In addition to daily brushing and flossing, a healthy diet is crucial to maintaining a healthy mouth. The ADA recommends that you eat a variety of foods from each of the basic food groups in order to get the vitamins and minerals that are essential to oral health . It's also a good idea to limit snacks between meals and to avoid foods high in sugar, which can be detrimental to your teeth.
Maintaining a well-rounded oral health routine at home is essential to keeping your teeth and gums in top condition, but the ADA maintains that it's still important to visit your dentist twice a year for a comprehensive examination and cleaning. During your twice annual visit to the dentist, a hygienist will gently remove tartar and give your teeth a cleaning more thorough than you can perform at home. X-rays will also be performed to help your dentist see whether the underlying structures of your mouth are healthy. Your regular visit to the dentist's office is also a good opportunity to review your oral hygiene routine with your dentist and to discuss any techniques or products that may be helpful in maintaining oral health. For a complete list of over-the-counter oral health products approved by the American Dental Association, visit www.ada.org.
