Top 5 Teeth Staining CulpritsThese 5 things are the biggest enemys of whiter teeth. Learn how to keep your natural teeth whiter, and to preserve your freshly whitened teeth.
Dr. Mader offers professional teeth whitening services, and he feels strongly that a professional service is safer and more effective than over the counter products (many of which don't work at all). We can all enjoy whiter teeth by cutting down on the items below and for those that enjoy a beautiful, whiter smile after visiting Dr. Mader, these tips will help maintain that bright white for a longer time.
Culprit #1
Coffee and Tea. Many of us love a good old cup of Joe in the morning or a nice cup of tea. Unfortunately, drinking several cups per day will cause the tannin chemicals in coffee and tea to turn your teeth yellowish or a darker shade. If you must have that coffee or tes in the morning to get going, try to limit your intake to a cup per day. Avoid black coffee or tea - try milk-based choices if at all possible.
Culprit #2
Cigarettes. One of the worst offenders, cigarettes stain you teeth in multiple ways... not only do the effect of the tobacco leaves stain your teeth, the habit of smoking causes the smoker to continually expose the teeth to the staining process.
Culprit #3
Wine. Dark wines such as reds have the greatest staining impact on your teeth due to the dark purple colors found naturally in the grapes used for their production. Lighter wines have a lesser impact, but can still stain your teeth over time. Always try to rinse your mouth thoroughly with clear water after enjoying wine to minimize the staining impact of your vino.
Culprit #4
Soda / Pop / Cola. Whatever you call them, dark colored soft drinks can have a major staining effect on your teeth. The food coloring in soda heads right to the tooth and begins darkening almost immediately. If possible, limit your intake of soda, or enjoy lighter colored sodas. Using a straw to sip you soda can also help reduce the staining effect by reducing the contact between the soda and your teeth.
Culprit #5
Processed foods. Make processed foods are chocked full of chemicals and food colorants that make them look and taste mouth-wateringly yummy. Unfortunately, those artifical goodies are a big source of teeth staining badness. Don't believe us? Have a quick peek at your teeth after enjoying some chips or another snack. They'll most likely resemble the snack instead of their normal bright white selves.
Enjoy these tips for a heathy, whiter smile. Contact Dr. Mader today to discuss how we can help your smile be its whitest - and it's heathiest.

Barry Thornton is based in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg, South Africa. I (Alex) used to trade with Barry when we were much younger and he has authorized a number of courses for Expert4x over the years. The long candle and WATO course are examples. South Africa has a tax year that ends at the end of February and he confirmed that his taxable income from Forex trading is yet again well over one million US dollars for this February 2015 tax year.
He is an old school manual trader and uses a small team of traders to trade for him. He trains them for a month or so and then if they make the grade, they trade his money for him under his supervision in his home / trading room keeping 30% of all profits made. Some have been with him for over 9 years now and are independently wealthy and about to retire.
His systems have not changed much over the last 12 years since he started. Except for 2 years his taxable earnings were well over one million since he started. His systems are described in our early Expert4x courses.
The easy to trade techniques mainly based on the RSI, moving average and basic support and resistance, are difficult, if not impossible to automate into an Expert Advisor as he is an "in the moment" trader that takes the dynamics of what is happening right now into account. Although the techniques are simple they are difficult to teach and often subjective.
He has an uncanny feel for the strength and weaknesses of currencies and knows the market intimately from moment to moment when trading. Without knowing it he takes a wide range factors into account when considering a trade. He scalps and swing trades using the same technique.
He has basic processes in place which make his Forex trading profitable on a very consistent basis. Only 1 losing month in the last 130.
An old school, common sense, sharp, manual trader that is still incredibly successful. A very private and down to earth individual.
For more about his technique and his trading psychology read the rest of his course.

Naseeruddin Shah opts out of <i>Hattrick</i>
Courtesy: IndiaFM
Thursday, December 14, 2006
After his son Imad met with a train accident, actor Naseeruddin Shah has decided to opt out of Milan Luthria's Hattrick. Reportedly, the actor has been replaced by Danny Dengzongpa.
20-year-old Imad, aspiring actor and filmmaker, fell of a local train between Lower Parel and Mahalaxmi stations and is now recuperating. Naseeruddin has stepped back to look after Imad since his son's treatment will take up four months. Imad has several broken bones and needs to undergo severe physiotherapy.
As Luthria confirmed, the shooting of the movie was supposed to start in December. But since Imad's accident took place just a week before that, the shooting saw a hiatus for two weeks. Luthria said that Naseer's backing out has been a great loss to him as every director dreams of working with an actor of Naseer's caliber. However, the shoot could not be further delayed as the film aims to release during the Cricket World Cup in March 2007. Therefore, Luthria had to look for Naseer's replacement immediately.
Last seen in Krrish and Omkara, Naseer will be out of the filmy circuit until his son recovers. After all, he has walked out of Hattrick only for Imad. Hattrick is a comedy flick set against the backdrop of the Cricket World Cup. Luthria has recently shot an item song starring Rimmi Sen and Kunal Kapoor, which claims to be a very seductive number. Hopefully, the movie will see a Cricket World Cup release!

Big Bill Broonzy Shot In Amsterdam
One Of The Stupid Pictures My Father Shot Of Big Bill Broonzy In Amsterdam.
Interestingly enough my father didn't want me to become a writer. He said, 'why in the world would you like to be a writer? Every sonofabitch can write. Writing is only a matter of holding a stupid pencil in your stupid hand to write something stupid down on a stupid piece of paper, and that is how writers write their stupid stories.'
Now, just think about the fact my father was a photographer. All he did was hold a stupid camera in his stupid hands while he pushed with his stupid fingers on stupid buttons, and that is how he shot his stupid pictures.

you are so funny. Your father must have made you laugh out loud.
He liked picture books, right?

Man, did I miss you. How's your love-life? lol
Dunno about my father though. The only time I saw him beam was in his coffin.

The weather for the weekend promised to be changeable but that cannot stop the autumn migration that proceeds at full speed. Millions of birds have already passed us and millions are still on their way to here. The time has arrived when mornings in the garden are again full of birds and exciting!
The sun rises at about 6.45 now and that is the moment to pick up the binoculars, a hot drink and paper and pencil and settle comfortably in a garden chair. During the next couple of hours you will see and hear some twenty bird species without much bother and maybe even such that you have not met yet this year.
In the weekend probably ticking robins in the shrubs and busy chiff-chaffs flying around can be seen in every garden. In addition to the "hweet" call the chiff-chaffs can in a sunny moment also let hear their well-known "chiff-chaff" song. From the apple orchard the chirping of the last lesser whitethroats may be heard and the shrill calls of the lesser spotted woodpecker, more numerous than usual this year "kii-kii-kii-kii…" .
The passerines flying over are mostly chaffinches (mellow "djug"), but it is worthwhile to keep the ears open to detect the pipits and dunnocks. The characteristic call of the tree pipits is a sharp "tzriip", that of the meadow pipit with its jerky flight a twittering "sivivivip". The flight call of dunnocks is an even finer: "tihihihihiii". As before wagtails and barn swallows can be encountered but they become fewer by each day now

One Parent's Perspective on Parenting a High School Junior
High school is a very exciting time both for the student as well as the parent. As a parent of a junior this year, I have the privilege of encountering growing maturity as well as struggles and challenges that are faced by every teenager at this stage in his or her life. From waking up at 5:30 am to prepare for a 7:00 am class, to wondering what to do for lunch that day, the junior year for me as a parent is proving to be one filled with day to day excitement.
The junior year from my perspective is the year of change. Sure, the student has two years of high school already behind them and they are officially considered upperclassmen, but when I look at my daughter's daily schedule, I think back to when I was in high school and I don't remember anything like this. Maybe I was an underachiever, but I graduated all the same. This year my daughter is taking Advanced Placement and dual credit classes. These will prove beneficial as she enters her senior year, and seriously begins searching for a college to attend. Along with her course schedule, she is also involved in choir, Key Club, and other volunteer activities. It is my hope as a parent, however, that even with this daunting schedule she still maintains time for herself, and enjoys just being a teenager.
As the parent of a high school junior, I feel responsible for providing guidance in the direction of her college future. I want her to pursue every dream she has, and to be realistic so that success is achieved; versus chasing something that will not pan out as a wise career choice. I am also looking at financial expenses as we continue this journey together. Sure, I have a little money put away for college, but not the thousands of dollars it will take for her to complete a bachelor's degree. That is why we take some time together to look at scholarship opportunities. This takes some time, but I think it is time well spent. We also participate in student/parent nights or activities that the school provides to learn about helpful resources and information.
I don't know how this will all work out in the end. As a parent, all I can do is be there and be supportive, giving my own words of wisdom along the way. I am confident we will make it through this very challenging year of change.

Author Notes: A classic grilled cheese—comfort foods' most ubiquitous musing—is one way to stave off the seasonal sullied spirits during the punishing winter months. But for me, a Trinidad & Tobago native, a luscious grilled cheese isn't enough. I need the upbeat fare of my Caribbean to shine though literally everything I eat, even if it's by the smallest measure. Here, the inclusion of coconut butter lifts this grilled cheese to a place where I can tangibly taste and see the vim and vigor of the islands. And that's an important consideration when there are inches of snow on the ground.
Unlike coconut oil, which is made from the extracted fat of coconut meat, coconut butter incorporates the fiber-rich coconut meat, however, in dried form. Exacting this goodness isn't an arduous task but does require, just a pinch of patience and a twenty-minute commitment to your food processor or Vitamix. The blood orange vinaigrette is a triumph to winter citrus season. And the salad as whole cuts the fat of the cheeses while offering a crisp, tart, toothsome bite. The end result is a very simple yet beautifully balanced meal, with a nod to the islands.
For tips on how to segment citrus, see this post. —Brigid Ransome Washington
Makes: 2 sandwiches
Coconut Butter
cups dried shredded, unsweetened, coconut
Kosher salt, to taste
Grilled Cheese and Salad
slices seedy, whole grain bread
slices gruyere cheese
slices fontina cheese
blood oranges, 1 juiced and 2 segmented
tablespoon lemon juice
teaspoons honey
tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
small heads frisée
Kosher salt and coarse ground black pepper
Coconut Butter
- In a food processor, put the dried coconut and blend for 3 minutes until the coconut breaks down into clumps. Scrape down the sides of the food processor. Continue to blend for another 5 minutes and scrape down the sides of the food processor. The coconut should have a sandy consistency and be somewhat paste-like. Continue processing for another three to four 3-4 minutes. Scrape sides of the food processor each time.
- After 12-15 minutes have elapsed, the coconut starts to coagulate and it resembles a buttery paste. At this point, you should have scrapped the sides of the food processor 6-7 times, to ensure that the coconut meat is making contact with the blades.
- At the 20-minute mark, the coconut now resembles the consistency of thick peanut butter. It is thick and viscous. Stir in the salt, and set aside.
Grilled Cheese and Salad
- Prepare the salad: Segment the blood oranges, firstly by removing the skin and pith and, with a paring knife, cutting the flesh out from along the veins of the fruit. Place the segments on a small plate. In a medium- sized bowl, juice the remaining blood orange by squeezing with your hand. To the blood orange juice, whisk in the lemon juice, honey, and slowly stream in the olive oil. Season to taste with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper. Wash and trim the frisée into bite-sized pieces and toss in the blood orange vinaigrette. Set aside while you prepare the grilled cheese.
- Butter both sides of the bread with coconut butter—but place more butter on the insides of the bread than the sides in contact with the pan, to prevent scorching. Place the cheeses on the slice of bread and close with another slice the of coconut-buttered bread.
- Plate the salad, and top with orange segments. Place grilled cheese near salad, and enjoy.

Sometimes, I wonder at the size of the world. How, when I live in a city of millions, I still seem to run into people I know... in the subways, on the sidewalks, at restaurants, at the gym. I'm so used to a small town that I sometimes forget that this world of ours is really just a big small town in itself.
Sometimes I wonder at the size of my heart, too. Squeezing so much love into one little place. Just when I think I've got too many people to love - too many friends already - lots and lots of family - someone can come along and sneak on into the party. Every time I turn around, there's a new smile lovin' up my heart.
And sometimes, like tonight, I wonder just for the sake of wondering.

Discover the perfect Performance Appraisal Software for your corporation. Efficiency Management Process Guidelines provides you the parts of the efficiency administration process. The employee is doing the job on the degree anticipated for employees on this position. Creating a brand new performance management system is likely one of the most vital yet most troublesome jobs an organization can undertake. 10. ADDRESSING POOR PERFORMANCE When an employee's efficiency falls below expectations at any time through the efficiency cycle: The supervisor shall doc the performance that falls short of expectations by getting ready a corrective action plan or other documentation.
Clicking through each of the shows, whether its past performance reviews, pending evaluations, or goal administration settings, is straightforward. What these companies need to construct—aims that are more fluid and changeable than annual goals, frequent feedback discussions moderately than annual or semiannual ones, forward-trying teaching for development slightly than backward-focused score and rating, a larger emphasis on teams than on individuals—looks like the exact opposite of what they are abandoning.
Permit a select group of managers and workers to use the system as they might when applied and incorporate their suggestions into your selection and configuration decisions. • A evaluate of your efficiency over the past one 12 months against established objectives for the past 12 months, as well as the identification of the objectives for the subsequent 12 months. When establishing agile performance management, make frequent evaluate and setting of objectives an expectation for workers in any respect levels, not solely middle management and above.
Efficiency management is about more than just reviews.
We test and evaluate 9 human resource (HR) administration instruments that can customise, automate, and streamline your worker efficiency administration process. As well as, we use these non-IFRS measures to facilitate comparisons of SAP's operating efficiency from interval to interval. However they don't assist employees feel more connected to their organizations. Formal performance evaluations are then performed quarterly or half yearly and allow management to direct and fine tune effort in relation to the goals. Practice managers in all 4 components of performance administration: objective setting, teaching, growth planning, and efficiency analysis.
The worker should be given the chance and needs to be inspired to write down any feedback on the SHRA Work Plan and Efficiency Appraisal kind. In the final case you'll want to implement a course of, and probably some coaching, for the worker to improve his or her performance and, if this is not successful, a dismissal process. So if organizations design and implement their performance management methods to optimize ACE, they are going to see a direct influence on organizational success.
Management Systems' efficiency management instruments help you construct a sustainably profitable group by growing the effectiveness of plan implementation and by promoting accountability all through your company. Very like goal administration, these improvement recommendations will seem on an worker profile with an summary of how much progress has been made in direction of every improvement pathway. As soon as the frequency, rewards, and goals have been decided, it is time to start to formalize the process.
Performance evaluations should be carried out pretty, constantly and objectively to guard your workers' pursuits and to protect your follow from legal legal responsibility. They welcome performance administration with open arms when they know how it will help them achieve their targets. Customers are also capable of create, assign, and observe progress towards goals, whether objectives are assigned to a selected employee or to a complete team.
Appraisers got written instructions on methods to complete the appraisal for workers. Create a goal driven tradition with particular person and workforce targets aligned with organization goals.

Reported by Josephus E. Tinnertink-McDuffle
It began as just another bus ride for Ferdinand Schwitter.
Schwitter was on his way to work at Auntie Anne's in the Tower City food court, as he did every weekday. He took a seat towards the back of the bus, and stuck in a pair of ear buds; it was a long ride from his apartment near Lakeview Road to Tower City, and he liked to block out some of the bus noises around him.
"Music's actually a big passion of mine. I listen to all sorts of music. The Sugarhill Gang, that one 'Cups' song, Jack Johnson… you know, just a good mix of stuff," said Schwitter.
That day, he wore a fedora over frazzled bed-head hair, and a five-o-clock shadow fuzzed his expression. A stained shirt was paired with frayed jeans, and instead of gloves, he wore a small dog sweater on each hand, claiming that they kept him warmer. When he smiled, there was a gap that replaced a tooth on one side, which he believed he had lost at a rowdy pajama party late last year.
However, underneath his quirky exterior was a heart full of unbridled love.
As he stared out the scratched bus window, he watched cars and people alike pass by. White flakes swirled on the side of Euclid, as though the city of Cleveland was a recently shaken snow globe. The bus lumbered near Stokes Boulevard, and while the group of huddled individuals filed onboard, a sight appeared that captured his attention.
"You know that James Blunt song, 'You're Beautiful?'" Schwitter's glassy eyes stared into the distance. "For a moment at least, I lived that song."
A pale woman stepped onto the bus. She sat down near the doors, pulling down her hood to let tumbles of blond hair fall down to touch the seat behind her. A pair of fuzzy pink earmuffs covered her ears.
As the famous James Blunt song streamed through Schwitter's headphones, the woman whom he described as "the most beautiful woman in da world" sat three rows ahead.
Immediately, Schwitter felt his emotions change. His heart began to beat faster, and he noticed himself wringing his hands. Meanwhile, she rummaged through her purse and then sat silently in her seat.
Outside, Cleveland continued to pass by, but the man in the back of the Healthline saw the world through a new set of eyes.
"When the doors opened at each bus stop, wind would gush in and blow past her. She smelled so nice too, so much better than the Healthline after the morning rush. She must have rubbed a tree-scented car fresheners all over herself, like I do before I go out." He sighed, looking down at the ground with a small smile. "We had so much in common."
Soon, he mustered up the courage to scoot further up in the bus, until he sat a row behind the mysterious woman. As James Blunt continued to sing his high-pitched song over Schwitter's headphones, an idea zapped into his mind: "I thought I would serenade her, 'Romeo and Juliet' style," he said.
"Na na na, na," He started to sing in beat with the song, "na na na, na, hey," he sang lightly to the woman seated in front of him.
He continued: "You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true."
She glanced over her shoulder to see Schwitter hovering there with a wide smile, then immediately turned back around, her shoulders stiffened.
For a man who had never fallen in love before, this seemed like a good sign. Throughout his life, Schwitter had only had a few relationships, none of them lasting over a few months.
"My past girlfriends, they would just eventually start getting really snippy with me, always telling me that I was kind of creepy," said Schwitter, "but I don't really see it."
As he continued singing, the woman stood up and walked over to the door. Schwitter stopped singing and said to her, "Can I have your number?"
She gave no response and turned away from him. "Can I have it?" he asked, a little more desperate.
Soon, the bus screeched to a halt, and the woman stepped off the Healthline, and out of the man's life.
The entire exchange lasted less than five minutes.
"Needless to say, I was lost in the depths of my emotions for a while," he said. "Sometimes I still think about her, glowing in the sunlight by the Healthy's windows." A single tear lingers at the corner of his eye. "I didn't even get her number," he mutters as he brushes it away.
The Athenian searched Cleveland for the existence of the woman Schwitter described. She preferred to remain anonymous in the interview, but noted that the man on the Healthline would certainly never be getting her number or any personal information for that matter.
This fact stunned Schwitter, but he continued to persevere. "Maybe someday, I'll meet a beautiful stranger on the Healthline and I will get her number." He smiles, lifting himself up from the tragedy. "I will get it."

*The American people have been wishy washy over the job that President Obama has done over the last year. Now that he's embarking on the second year in his presidency, he is taking the demand for jobs back up to the #1 priority.
His report card should exhibit something between an A- and a B+ as he has taken on the insurmountable job of Bush's failed policy and the country's worst mismanagement.
The country is saying that he hasn't taken the economy serious enough and that the lack of jobs speaks volumes to a veering off from his campaign promises. The majority of us would like to rant and rave that the banking industry and the car industry (more…)

Scott Billion – Vocals
Scott Billion became involved in music at a young age and it has always been his salvation. Once he discovered Rock-N-Roll it became his main focus. Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath were both heavy influences and they shaped his attitudes in life. To be able to emulate a boyhood hero in Madman with such accomplished musicians is a dream come true!
Steve Cox – Guitar
Steve Cox is a veteran of the San Diego rock/metal scene. Citing Edward Van Halen, Michael Schenker and Randy as early influences, Steve assumed an upfront local roll in the mid-late 80's following in the footsteps of other San Diego exports Craig Goldy, Jake E Lee and Warren DiMartini. Broken Foundation, Teabag, Psychotic Waltz, Death From Above and Danse Macabre are some of the many projects that he's written, recorded and toured with. Steve's passion for the Blizzard era goes back to a 1981 appearance at the Fox Theater in San Diego. "The Rhoads, Aldridge, Sarzo lineup leveled, period. They brought a level of musicianship to our chosen genre that hadn't existed prior and were the heaviest thing going. The January 1982 San Diego Sports Arena appearance took everything up a notch. Show was incredible, new material was incredible and with the Don Airey addition no one could touch them. It's my goal to painstakingly recreate this music for folks to experience just how damn good it was."
Pete Stone – Bass
Pete Stone, a San Diego native, has been a part of the local seen since the early 80′s. He and Guitarist Steve Cox have been playing together in several different bands for more than 20 years. "I never took for granted that I was able to surround myself with quality musicians and Madman, hands down, is the best example of that". Pete's early influences include Bob Daisley, Geezer Butler, and Steve Harris. "I grew up on a steady diet of Ozzy, Black Sabbath, and Iron Maiden. All three bands were my first introduction to how much a bass player's chops, tone, and overall approach to the instrument can dominate. Everything they did on bass was as much a part of the song as what the guitar player was doing, if not more so. Bob Daisley's playing is quite unique, nothing like anything I've learned before. I knew that my job in Madman was to recreate what Daisley recorded with Ozzy to the best of my ability. His bass lines are a huge part of every song and everyone will be expecting to hear them 'note for note'".

Weekly Wrap Up: 12/2/17
12 February 2017
Filed under Book Reviews
Tags: Weekly wrap up
Well, this week my reading has virtually disappeared. I don't think I've ever read so little in one week for a very long time! In fairness we went on a short trip to Iceland and sometimes your trips away are not the sort that involve chilling out with a book and a long drink! In fact all my plans have gone along the route of 'the best laid plans'.
Last week's reads:
Danse Macabre by Laura M Hughes – thank you Laura for redeeming my reading slightly! This is a dark novelette and my review will follow.
Currently reading:
- Blood Upon the Sand by Bradley P Beaulieu
- The Ninth Rain by Jen Williams
- The Winter Long by Seanan McGuire
Next week I'm hoping to complete two of the above! And, perhaps start In Calabria by Peter S Beagle.
And, finally, my cover compare this week is Danse Macabre by Laura M Hughes:
My favourite cover is this one:
I like the title font for this (which is also the same on the first cover) but I like the colour contrast too.
How was your week? What you currently reading?
23 Responses to "Weekly Wrap Up: 12/2/17"
Dang, Iceland! That's amazing. I hope you had a great time, Lynn. That photo you took is really cool. Hopefully your small break from reading means you'll come back with a vengeance! 😀

To Whom It May Concern:
On July 29-31, 2016, I will be hosting a family reunion for my family in Biloxi, MS. We have come a long way trying to get our family together and we try to get together at least every 2 years. This year we expect our biggest turnout from family all over the country. On Saturday, July 30, 2016 I am planning a Mardi Gras themed banquet which I intend to showcase our rich family heritage & legacy, talent, and of course the elements of Mardi Gras. For most of my family this will be their first and probably their only experience of Mardi Gras and I want to make this their best experience yet.
I am writing to your organization to request any donations of decorations that are left over after your Mardi Gras Ball. Our goal is to create a Mardi Gras themed family reunion; and with your donations, it would really help us create a more authentic experience. During our event we would recognize all of the donors unless instructed otherwise by the organization. We appreciate your time and consideration regarding this request.
Your support would be greatly appreciated-big or small!
Thank you in advance on behalf of the Wheatley Family.
If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact Robin Willis, the family reunion coordinator, here by private message.

CHESTER recorded an excellent 34-20 success over newly-promoted Huddersfield at Hare Lane in their latest National League Two North clash.
Jan van Deventer's side dominated the first-half to stretch out into a 22-10 lead at the break, some decent team play leading to the opener before the officials awarded Chester a penalty try on 30 minutes after the referee grew frustrated with Huddersfield's constant infringements and gave the decision for a deliberate knock on.
Liam McGovern then slotted home a 35-metre penalty with a couple of minutes left in the first-half as the two teams exchanged three-pointers, but there was still time for Harry Craven and Liam Gill to set up McGovern for another try in the far corner.
Chester's lead was suddenly cut to just two points 10 minutes after the restart as a penalty followed by a converted try had the Yorkshire side dreaming of a famous comeback.
But van Deventer's team railled strongly and Guy Ford crashed home for a try with a superb run down the right wing, before the forwards drove over for a late final try, converted by McGovern to wrap up victory.
"It was a really good performance," explained head coach van Deventer.
"We showed glimpses of what a good team we could be here. We were the better team for long periods and although they got back into it at 22-20, we came through to beat a strong, physical Huddersfield side who were very good in the scrum and at the set piece.
"I'm really delighted as we were in total control at half-time but we allowed them back into it and it was getting nervy, but we showed strength and character to get the two late tries and pull clear.
"They had a lot of territory in the second half but we defended well. There were some impressive individual performance but as a whole team we were excellent and it was a great display."

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Biotechnology stocks posted modest gains Wednesday, with shares of Sequenom among the leading advancers after the company announced a genetic research partnership with GlaxoSmithKline.
The Amex Biotechnology Index BTK, -0.60% added 0.6 percent and the Nasdaq Biotechnology NBI, -0.45% edged up 0.2 percent.
Shares of Sequenom SQNM rose 70 cents, or 8 percent, to $9 while the U.S.-listed shares of GlaxoSmithKline GSK, -0.33% shed 44 cents to $52.91.
Sequenom and Anglo-American pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline said Wednesday they would collaborate on a research project aimed at identifying genetic variations associated with disease and adverse drug reactions. The companies described the deal as a "multimillion dollar agreement" but didn't disclose further details.
The collaboration is the latest indication of the growing interest in the field of pharmacogenomics, which involves using information about genetic variations to improve the way medications are developed and prescribed.
Analyst Edward Tenthoff at Robertson Stephens said the "deal validates Sequenom's scientific prowess" and he pointed out that the two companies worked together on research earlier this year.
"It is evident with today's announcement that GSK was pleased with the data and looked to expand its genetic variation and pharmacogenomics projects with Sequenom," Tenthoff wrote in a note to clients.
Elsewhere, shares of Biopure fell $2.15 to $22.80, giving back some of the gains from earlier in the week.
Biopure's stock had risen sharply Monday after the Cambridge, Mass.-based company said its blood substitute had met safety and effectiveness goals in late-stage patient testing. Published reports have raised questions about the safety of the blood substitute, Hemopure. Biopure BPUR said it plans to file later this year for U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance to sell Hemopure.
In the pharmaceutical sector, shares of Andrx Corp. ADRX got a boost after AstraZeneca said it would not use a regulatory tactic that might have delayed generic competition to the company's popular ulcer drug Prilosec.
Shares of Andrx, which plans to market a generic version of Prilosec, rose $3.45, or 5 percent, to $71.50. The U.S.-listed shares of AstraZeneca AZN, +0.08% eased 2 cents to $48.35.
AstraZeneca said late Tuesday that it would not list a patent on Prilosec in the FDA's Orange Book. Earlier this month, AstraZeneca announced a similar decision on two other patents on Prilosec, which was the world's top-selling prescription drug last year. AstraZeneca might have been able to delay generic competition by listing the patents in the Orange Book, a list of new patents covering old drugs.
The Amex Pharmaceutical Index $DRG lost 1 percent.
In the medical device sector, shares of Medtronic MDT, -0.60% moved up 38 cents to $46.90. Medtronic said Tuesday it won the first FDA approval to sell an electrical device for treatment of congestive heart failure. Analyst Sheryl Zimmer at Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown said the approval, which came more quickly than expected, was a significant victory for Medtronic.
"We think this product will give Medtronic a leg up in the pacemaker segment versus its competition, as well as a new segment of patients to tap into," Zimmer wrote in a note to clients.

Felt like complete shit today … think my lungs may have worked better in the 1990s when I was still a smoker … I had multiple people ask me if I was doing okay; one woman who was running even turned around and came back up to me to make sure … I was stopped at the side of the road at the time, although I have no doubt that even if I was riding she would still have been able to catch me.
Neck and right shoulder are killing me too … feel like I may have a pinched nerve or something, and my rotator cuff is grinding like you wouldn't believe. Time to make an appointment to get an adjustment with Greg Freebairn at Back In Motion, I think; the other option would be to go see a full-blown orthopedist to get my shoulder scoped, which I'd rather avoid if at all possible.
Not a good day on the bike today. At least I got to see Cadel Evans prove that he IS a hard man this morning during the Giro; there were two sections of stradas bianches, which means "white roads" in Italian; these are unpaved dirt/gravel roads. Because of the rain, however, those sections were stradas fangosos (muddy roads), if not i fiumi di merda (rivers of shit). Good on ya, mate. You're definitely doing the rainbow stripes proud.

Hello Motherland
I'm back in the Motherland for a much needed 2 week vacation and am looking forward to catching up with friends and family, some serious R & R, and most important of all – some serial overeating.
Fresh off the 12 hour flight, this was the home-cooked Malaysian-Nonya feast which was waiting for me on the dinner table… a compilation of the greatest hits I grew up eating. With home-cooked food like this, I'm starting to wonder why I only manage to make it back home once a year.
Mixed Greens with Abalone and Mushrooms
Fish Maw Soup ("Hoo Peow Th'ng")
You can read more about Fish Maw Soup here and get my family's recipe for Sambal Udang here. But the dish I really want to pay tribute to is my beloved Curry Kapitan. Named after the Chinese 'Captains' of old from Malaya's colonisation days, this thick, dry-style Chicken curry is for me the epitome of great Malaysian-Nonya cuisine. It's use of turmeric, ginger, galangal, chilli and belacan (fermented shrimp paste) result in truly multi-faceted flavours which span spicy, savoury, sweet and sour… singing of the cosmopolitan nature of Malaysian food. Dee-licious.
Dear Belly, please forgive me for the calories to come in the coming weeks.

Recruitment agencies get their fees from their clients that commission them to fill job vacancies. For these institutions, it is all about impressing their customers and getting repeat business.
Fortunately, their work involves catering for the staffing needs of different companies. If you can dazzle them, then you can quickly cross the bridge and get the job of your dreams.
Shipping jobs here in Felixstowe are highly sought after. Hundreds of CVs are sent on a daily basis. One of the basic ways of impressing recruiters is by ensuring that your CV stands out
Here are three more tips that could come in handy.
Be Responsive
It is important to express yourself in an honest manner and without exaggeration when they call you in for your first interview. Respond to calls and emails promptly for you to secure that very important chance to get an evaluation.
Showing excellent communication skills will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression.
Sell Yourself
You should not overlook the importance of standing out by providing a compelling CV. While it is a fact that agencies can help you spruce up your resume, this may not come as a priority if they have received 99 other superb ones.
Getting to your interview early, dressing for the job and preparing yourself to answer interview questions satisfactorily are all efforts that may better your chances of getting that job you have always wanted.
Avoid Counter-Offers
Counter-offers make the recruitment process challenging. Once you have accepted a position, it will be in your best interests to give a blind eye to counter offers. In the end, you are likely to crawl back to the recruitment agency if things do not work out as you expected.
Such a scenario may break the good relationship between you and your potential recruiters.
Impressing recruiters is not a hard job. Be specific when making statements verbally or on paper, and make sure that the experts have a good idea about the kind of job and working conditions you are after. Also, be sure to portray all traits of a candidate who is not likely to let them down.

NSW to cap Murray Darling Basin water buybacks
NSW Primary Industries Minister Katrina Hodgkinson has followed through on her threat to bypass the Commonwealth, introducing a cap on water buybacks towards Murray-Darling Basin Plan environmental targets.
In November, Ms Hodgkinson drafted an order under the Water Management Act which would cap buyback at three per cent per valley, per decade.
"Effective from today, the NSW government will restrict the amount of water which the Commonwealth government can purchase for the environment as part of its Murray-Darling Basin Plan," Ms Hodgkinson said in a statement.
"We tried to work collaboratively with the Commonwealth to find strategies that will improve water use efficiency, allow basin communities to adjust, and make water available for environmental flows, however NSW has been brushed aside.
"The Commonwealth government has ignored the very real concerns of NSW basin communities about the potential size and pace of an environmental water buyback program, so the NSW government has been forced to act.
"From today, further water purchases for the environment will be restricted to three per cent per valley per decade, a more sustainable rate of purchase which will provide much needed breathing space and time for rural economies to adjust."

According California Association of Realtors, "the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously decided yesterday that RESPA does not pertain to a single settlement-service provider's retention of an unearned fee (Freeman v. Quicken Loans, Inc., 10-1042). This court decision does not affect RESPA's prohibition against referral fees or other laws prohibiting misrepresentations and secret profits. The decision should nevertheless deter lawsuits that have been filed against real estate brokers who charge consumers a flat fee in addition to a percentage-based commission."
How does this affect consumers in real terminology?
"RESPA" stands for the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. This regulation outlaws "kickbacks" which increase the settlement costs. Before this act was passed, it was common for lenders to advertise low interest rates that were conditioned on the borrower using the lender's choice of title and/or escrow company. Those companies would charge inflated settlement fees for their services, and pay a "kickback" to the lender for the referred business. RESPA made those and similar practices illegal.
Currently, some lenders and real estate brokerages charge their clients a flat fee for some services plus the commission on the transaction. In the case against Quicken Loans, consumers attested that they were charged a loan discount fee, but did not receive a reduced interest rate. They brought the lawsuit again Quicken stating it violated RESPA laws because it was an unearned fee. Quicken Loans defended their side stating they had clearly disclosed the fee on the good faith estimate and estimated closing statements that the consumer agreed to prior to the closing of the loan.
The Supreme Court determined that the statute "unambiguously covers only a settlement-service provider's splitting of a fee with one or more other persons; it cannot be understood to reach a single provider's retention of an unearned fee." So, the courts have decided that RESPA does not protect consumers from a lender who wants to add "unearned fees" like discount points. RESPA has successfully blocked consumers from being overcharged on settlement fees in order to provide a kickback to a third party, but it clearly isn't preventing the consumer from overpaying simply to line the pockets of a single provider. This verdict will surely generate a need to modify RESPA or add a new statute to protect the consumer in cases like the one decided yesterday.

The crash shift a wall, knocking the door from one of its hinges. Southwestern, North Dakota—It was a cold gray, quiet, day—until a woman crashed a car into Room 135. It happened around 3:30 p.m., when a thunderous bang! tugged me from the ether. It sounded as if someone had punched the backdoor, or the door in the office, so all what-the-heck-like, I tottered to see who or what was to blame, but wind-strewn litter was all I saw. No sooner had I returned to bed, where I was happy, when my girl dashes in exclaiming the lady from Room… Continue Reading
A Wife's Revenge

A woman battered this truck after finding it parked outside a motel late one night. Western North Dakota—Night has fallen on a particularly grueling, but otherwise unmemorable rainy day. A man who assembles the steel skeletons of soulless commercial space each day beginning at sunrise decides tonight he's going to kick it with a couple of bro-ish co-workers before returning home. He tails the bros to the motel they've called home for over a month now. Six-packs in hand, they plod up the wet stairs in mud-caked boots, to Room 143. After soaking up some warmth they sip eagerly from… Continue Reading
No Respect for Small Town Cops
Posted on October 12, 2013
Motel guests get harassed by the K-9 cop, who didn't locate any narcotics on the couple. Dickinson, North Dakota—Small town cops always get a bad rap, and rightfully so. Unlike their urban counterparts, small town cops receive far less training. And because small towns tend to have low crime rates, police tend to spend an inordinate amount of time enforcing traffic laws and responding to small disturbances, like people setting off illegal fireworks. Sometimes small town police seem averse to police work all together. Last month a man was stabbed on the property. The police wanted to view our security… Continue Reading

Western North Dakota—It happens often enough. A guest disappears for a day or two before stumbling, all weak and disheveled, back to his room to discover his key no longer works. Perhaps a stranger, hearing someone attempting to enter, answers the door. There's someone in my room, complained one construction worker who'd gone missing for a day. We rented the room when you stopped paying for it. It's an oddly satisfying chain of events, from the moment I instruct the housekeepers to pack it up to when the confused former guest forks over the ransom on his belongings. I'm not… Continue Reading

W.B. shows off his warning for trespass. Western North Dakota—Last night a couple of the housekeepers, all of whom are from Cape Verde, stopped by the office to tell me about the racist man working at the gas station across the street, how the man, for no reason, booted them from the store prior to the cops doling out warnings for trespass. What happened went something like this: Kenny purchased W.B. the wrong kind of cigarettes. W.B. returned moments later to exchange the pack for the correct one. One of the clerks, an older man with a scraggly gray beard,… Continue Reading

Western North Dakota—When I took over the motel a few weeks back, I had one housekeeper, hardly sufficient for 52 rooms. So I began asking for more help because I didn't want to clean rooms. One morning, a highly energetic middle-aged woman showed up at the office. Hi, I'm [Suzy], she said. I'm here to help. Three minutes conversing with this lady I was exhausted. She spoke fast as an auctioneer and had a tendency to complete my sentences for me. I speak a lot slower than she does. I later attributed it the gallons of Coca-Cola she pounds… Continue Reading

Williston, ND—Ask folks around here about Williston and you'll hear much lamenting about how far gone it is from what it used to be. In less than four years the town metastasized from an idyllic American town—one where you'll find pictures of the Pope hanging in most businesses—to one that has succumbed to the corruptions of hedonism and oil money. Williston lost its soul, as one man put… Continue Reading

Western North Dakota—Running the cheapest motel within 100 miles attracts a not always savory clientele, a truth I allude to when a prospective guest of a more respectable class asks for a room. Not because I care, but so I don't have to listen to them bitch about wanting a refund later. Motel and hotel rates in the Bakken are outrageous due to a limited supply and the endless flow of people pouring into the area. Because there is no mortgage on this motel, the owner can undercut everyone else in town enough that even the monied peoples' curiosity is… Continue Reading

They lounge on the couch in the office for awhile, explaining they'd driven 24-hours straight from Indiana, en route to Idaho.

Review of StoryPoint in Independence Village
I find StoryPoint to be a very safe and loving community for the elderly. The assistants are friendly, caring and very much in tune with their patients. I visit here each week and make many observations and have always been most impressed with the entire facility and staff!
Over all very nice – clean, caring staff, family member well taken care of [Removed] is an awesome activity director!
But executive director is not receptive to complaints/ concerns (immediate denial rather than concern/ willingness to resolve issue) – tends to blame residents for or belittle their complaints. This is their home where they should be listened to and be given respect. Also, food leaves a lot to be desired – focus seems to be on independent living facility and image there. Assisted living seems to get whatever left over and often served something several days in a row.
Everyone is great!
Nice, clean and people are nice to talk to.

A tour for care for mom
I toured this community and for the care for my mom. The staff was helpful and able to answer the questions we had on the care that is available. The community was clean and they had a nice variety of meals and activities for the residents. We liked the environment. We would suggest that families tour this community for the care of a loved one.

Good care
This is clean community and well taken care of . Mom is not happy with the food at this time. She claims that it is not up to standards. There are activities, but mom does not want to be involved but a good variety. Over all we would recommend this for care for loved ones.

The two people that took me on the tour were nice. The community was nice and they offer a lot of amenities. This was a step up from the community we chose but my grandmother was not able to participate in the majority of what they offered.

True 10
Can't say enough about this truly special place. Our family struggled with finding a new home for my Father, not only did StoryPoint help us with the process, they made it it easy! The professionalism, compassion and thoughtfulness is felt from each and every staff member that I have come into contact with, and what's most
Important is that my father is happy, relaxed and healthy! Food is a 10, activities are abundant... Facility is immaculate! [removed]
