Dental Checkup Fort Lee, NJ
If you haven't been to the dentist in a while, we invite you to schedule your dental check-up with Fort Lee Family Dental. At our Fort Lee dental office, we treat patients of all ages and are focused on improving the health and appearance of our patients' smiles. We understand that not everyone is excited about dental care and that due to busy schedules, a lack of insurance, or general forgetfulness, a lot of people don't visit the dentist with any regularity. If that's you – don't worry. You are not alone. According to USA today, 34 percent of Americans don't visit the dentist on an annual basis. While this is a large group of people, not having a dental check-up can place you at risk for a variety of health issues. We encourage you to take an hour out of your day for the benefit of your oral health and your future quality of life. To get started, all you need to do is call (201) 620-9772 and schedule an appointment. Our friendly staff won't judge you for your lack of prior dental care but will be happy to get you up to speed again.
Why You Need One
There is a direct link between visiting the dentist and keeping your natural teeth. If you want to ensure that you have a full mouth of health teeth – visit the dentist. Gallup released a study in 2014 that found the states with the highest percentage of dental visits also had the lowest percentage of adult tooth loss. For example, in Connecticut 74 percent of adults visited the dentist in the past year, and their rate of adult tooth loss was only 9 percent. On the other hand, in West Virginia only 57 percent of adults visited the dentist in the past year, and 37 percent of adults have complete tooth loss. The correlation is clear and should prompt you to give us a call. If you do lose your teeth, we can help by providing you with replacements in the form of dental implants, bridges, or dentures. Still, there is no need for you to experience significant tooth loss when you visit our office regularly for preventative care. Saving your teeth, after all, is less time-consuming and less expensive.
Another reason to schedule a dental check-up is to make sure that you don't experience a toothache or infection. We treat patients throughout the 07024 area and find that toothaches can create enough discomfort to cause people to miss work. In fact, according to the Center for Disease Control, 164 million work hours are lost each and every year due to dental related health issues. If you are like many of our Fort Lee patients that don't feel they have time for the dentist, you definitely need to schedule a dental check-up. Failing to do so could result in a more serious health condition forming and the need to take time off of work. After all, without preventative dental care, you are at a greater risk for tooth decay, infection, and gum disease.
What Happens at Your Dental Check-Up
At Fort Lee Family Dental, we are a gentle dentist and will complete your dental check-up in a way that is comfortable and relaxing. We understand that some people don't visit the dentist because they have a dental phobia or are concerned that something may be wrong. If this is the case, and you do have a cavity, we will treat your tooth gently and carefully so that your health issues can be addressed without causing you any further irritation.

We invite you to call 201-620-9772 and schedule your dental check-up right away. When you come in, we will escort you to the examination room where you will be given a drape and goggles to wear. Next, we will take images of your teeth and gums to see if there are any infections or decay that are under the surface. We will also perform a visual inspection of your gums and each one of your teeth. During this time, we will also be looking for signs of infection, tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer. If we identify any of these issues, we will discuss treatment options with you and may even be able to treat minor cavities that day. Before starting any procedures we will discuss them in detail to ensure that you are comfortable and relaxed. We will also clean your teeth before you go to ensure that you don't have any lingering plaque or bacteria on your teeth or gums. When you visit our Fort Lee, NJ dental office, you can expect the highest quality of care and that your dental check-up will be completed efficiently and gently.
The Benefits of Coming in Now
At Fort Lee Family Dental, we want you to visit our 07024 dentist office at the first sign of discomfort. If you have even a slight toothache or irritation in your gums, you should schedule a dental exam. If there is a problem, we can correct it immediately, rather than allowing it to grow and spread. In many cases, we can help you to avoid experiencing any significant discomfort by simply removing the decayed area while it is still small. Otherwise, you may find yourself with a dental emergency as an untreated cavity spreads. Fortunately, we make it easy to schedule a dental check-up with our Fort Lee dentist office. All you need to do is call (201) 620-9772 to schedule an appointment. We will work within your schedule to ensure that you receive the care you need, exactly when you need it.
Why You Shouldn't Wait for Dental Care
While we understand that many people wait to seek dental care due to anxiety, time, or finances, we do not recommend it. Instead, we suggest that you schedule a dental exam now, even if you aren't experiencing any discomfort. Doing so will allow us to remove any plaque or bacteria that has built up on your teeth, ensure that you don't have any cavities that are forming and prevent you from experiencing gum disease. Our goal is to treat you before you have any health issues, and a dental check-up is designed to allow us to do so. If you live in the 07024 area, it doesn't matter why you haven't been to the dentist in a while. We welcome you to come back in so that we can protect and improve your oral health.

Simply put, an SMTP server is a machine, or collection of machines, whose primary purpose is to send, receive, and/or relay messages between email senders and receivers. An SMTP server will have an address, or addresses, that can be set by the mail client or application that you are using, generally formatted as smtp.serveraddress.com.
Most server names are written in the form "smtp.domain.com" or "mail.domain.com": for instance, a Gmail account will refer to smtp.gmail.com. But that's not a unified rule, so you should pay attention and get the right SMTP parameters.
Remember anyway that only a professional SMTP server will guarantee that all your emails will be correctly delivered. Generally speaking, free outgoing servers like the ones associated to Gmail or Hotmail are not designed for mass email sending.
So if you're putting up a newseltter campaign or simply don't want to get any of your messages lost, you should switch to a dedicated outgoing server.

Chapter Five:
Exile – Second and Third Generations
Second Generation
5.1 Repression and Fear
5.2 Stigma and Discrimination
5.3 Safe Exit
Third Generation
5.4 Repression and Fear
5.5 Stigma and Discrimination
5.5 Political Opposition – New Political Culture
Why did many Malawians continue to flee the country long after the Cabinet Crisis? By the end of the 1960s, the internal opposition had been totally cowed and the culture of silence firmly implanted. Henry Chipembere had led a courageous resistance to the installation of the dictatorship following the Cabinet Crisis and after he left the country, his home district, Mangochi, was locked down and opponents either detained or exiled. In exile, the leaders were no longer united and with the death of Yatuta Chisiza in 1967, organised resistance literally dried up. In terms of security, there was no longer any need to continue the ferocious repression of the whole population.

ANDROMEDA is the synthesis of years of experience and represents the state of the electric guitar sounds!
Designed for use both live and in the studio, it turns a single-channel amplifier into a 3 independent channels. ANDROMEDA has in fact two independent channels plus a volume booster always activated. In common we have the tone control Treble, Bass and Voice.
The Voice is basically a boost on medium-high frequencies adjustable allowing you to control the sound to go from warm and soft sounds at very aggressive sounds.
A further control allows you to select two different overall gain settings called low-gain and high-gain.
The 1st Channel called DRIVE is a crunch of a beauty and unparalleled dynamic, set in low-gain Overdrive creates a soft, velvety set to high-gain it turns into an aggressive Crunch in perfect British style.
The 2nd Channel called OVERDRIVE is the perfection of the distorted sounds. Sustain, dynamic and blow, and when set to high-gain, from your guitar will come out beautiful harmonics with a very aggressive sound but still very musical.
The 3rd is a Clean channel with Volume Booster Loop always activated effects even when switched off the pedal that lifts your sound up to + 18dB to get out more during your solo!
Finally an additional Cabinet Simulator output in order to play directly into the mixer or audio equipment in case there was not available your favorite amp.

Redcliffe Wharf
We were appointed by Bristol City Council to develop a masterplan for Redcliffe Wharf, the last undeveloped site on the docks.
The intention was to clarify the extent of the development opportunity prior to the sale of the land to the highest bidder.
Our work established the spatial framework for the development which will shortly be emerging on the site. The challenge was to identify a viable amount of development whilst retaining the open nature of the area and the important views of St Mary Redcliffe.

Lauren Conrad has a lot of advice when it comes to love – and here they are.
CODE RED! This is not how it's supposed to be. But hey?? Haven't we all been there?
Another code red. Never let a guy manipulate you!
Some guys it's just impossible to stay friends after love.
Too much love or too much hurt.
Choose love. But don't forget everything else in your life.
Love is not easy. But especially in the beginning you shouldn't chase a guy.
Yes. We all have to remember that when we feel that past relationship has broken us.
That's usually how girls tell if a guy really like a girl.. or just has good manners.
Nobody should settle!
Yes!! Men have a built-in radar.
Yes. It's hard. But time heals all wounds.
When the guy you like or even love makes a decision you don't agree with.
Yes girls. Please remember and take it into consideration sometimes.. Girls over guys!
After a breakup it always seems that people have to mention the guy who broke your hearts name..
Yes. Getting your hope up and thinking it's a thing is dangerous.
Yes we usually want to be that girl. It just never happens.
Being with someone brings a lot of joy into your life but it also brings a lot of heartache.
Yes. It's a universal rule that there is a person you always seem to go back to.
Not every relationship is supposed to work out. Some relationships are just there to provide you with lessons and with the joy of being in love.
She said it.
Oh yes! It sure can be sometimes.
Guys can be the biggest jerks you have ever met sometimes.
Again. Never settle!
Sometimes you just have to deal with the facts and move on from a relationship. In the end, it will benefit you more.
No it doesn't. Life changes. But hopefully one day you find the person who will stay by your side through it all.
Yes. It can be hard to let go. But when one door closes another one opens.
And remember there are plenty of other fish in the sea…. 😉

Carrie Lam finally submitted her application to join the chief executive race with the support of 579 Election Committee members.
While she easily surpassed the number of nominations of her rivals, election victory is based on the number of votes the candidates will get on election day later this month, and appointment by the central leadership, but of course.
(Some naughty netizens, in fact, remarked that the number 579 sounded like the phrase "not that enough" in Cantonese pronunciation.)
Unsurprisingly, nominations for Lam came mainly from the pro-Beijing camp, including representatives of the agriculture and fisheries sector, the Heung Yee Kuk and New Territories District Council, as well as those from the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and National People's Congress, all of whom reportedly had been told by the national government's Liaison Office in Hong Kong to back the former chief secretary.
It's worth mentioning, though, that 38 members of the 60-strong religious sector in the Election Committee threw their support behind Lam. They were mostly pro-Beijing Muslim, Taoist, Buddhist and Confucian representatives.
None of the Catholic representatives nominated Lam.
There should be good reason for Christian representatives on the Election Committee to feel reluctant to support her.
Lam has hinted at a potential change in Hong Kong's religious policy since the 1997 handover in her election manifesto, something that drew criticism from some Christian leaders.
In her manifesto announced on Monday, Lam mentioned three points regarding religious policy.
She promised to study the possibility of establishing a "Religious Affairs Unit" under the Home Affairs Bureau, which will be responsible for coordinating relevant policies.
The current policy on land premium for sites used for religious purposes will be reviewed to support the development of religion, Lam said as she stressed that religion leads people towards kindness, benevolence, peace and tolerance.
Indeed, she said, religion plays a very important role in society all over the world.
Lam's suggestion to establish a regional affairs unit raised doubts among several religious leaders such as Yuen Tin-Yau and Ying Fuk-tsang.
They said such a proposal could indicate that Lam may try to tighten the grip on local religious groups and their development via the proposed unit.
Their fear is not exactly unfounded. In the mainland, the term "religious affairs" indicates a state policy of interference in the operations, activities and organization of churches and religious groups.
The core of such a policy is to keep all religions as well as religious leaders and groups under Beijing's control and ensure their loyalty to the Communist Party, above their religious beliefs and devotion to their respective divinities.
In fact, Hong Kong enjoys freedom of religion, and it is protected under the Basic Law. Religious freedom is one the fundamental tenets of the "one country, two systems" principle.
Under Article 141 of the Basic Law, "the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall not restrict the freedom of religious belief, interfere in the internal affairs of religious organizations or restrict religious activities which do not contravene the laws of the Region."
This particular provision implies that Hong Kong religious organizations have to follow local laws in undertaking their activities and performing their educational, medical and charitable services.
There is no reason for Lam to establish a new religious affairs unit to oversee the religious development of Hong Kong.
On the other hand, central authorities have a religious affairs unit to monitor and regulate religion.
So it comes as no surprise that her proposal was seen as an attempt to suppress religious freedom in the territory, something which runs counter to the provision in the Basic Law.
In fact, Ying pointed out that the central government had proposed the inclusion of a religious policy in the draft of the Basic Law, but it was dropped from the final version due to massive opposition from the religious sector.
Now Lam's initiative is to bring back the controversial idea of creating a government body to monitor religious developments in the territory.
That would damage the uniqueness of Hong Kong, particularly its religious freedom.
The government simply has no role to play in the religious development of Hong Kong.
All leaders of the various religions know what to do when it comes to keeping their flock and developing their congregation.
They know their role in giving aid and comfort to followers of their religion.
After all, the church or shrine or temple is a place of worship, of prayer and harmony. It has no room for politics.
Attempting to follow the Beijing model in the development of religion is a dangerous step to take. It will destroy Hong Kong's autonomy. It will be a mockery of the "one country, two systems" principle.
While Hong Kong people cannot vote in the chief executive election, they can raise the issue of religious freedom, which could provide some food for thought to members of the Election Committee before they cast their votes on March 26, especially for those 276 committee members who didn't nominate any candidate in the election.
These members could be persuaded to listen to the people, rather than seek direction from Beijing. They could provide the only way to stop Lam from implementing her policy on religion.

Celebrate WOMbat Holiday (and make your own WOMbat cake)
Our friends at WOMbania (the first known group of people to celebrate WOMbat Day) have shared with us all the traditions of this holiday.
WOMbat Day is typically celebrated with lots of chocolate and wine gums. (Since wine gums can be hard to find, feel free to substitute with Ju-Jubes or other gummy candies.)
The highlight of the WOMbat Day is the gathering of friends and loved ones around an evening dinner where WOMbat songs are sung and WOMbat tales are told. In some areas, a secret WOMbat dance is performed, but the dance has never been officially documented.
Just before the conclusion of the evening, a chocolate cake in the shape of a WOMbat is served up, along with the wine gums or other gummy candies. Many times, families will also include sparklers with these festivities.
We here at WOMbeat! wish you a very happy WOMbat Day!

WOMbeat!'s "Name Our WOMbat" Contest Is Officially Re-Launched
WOMbeat! Profiled by Tampa Bay Technology Forum (TBTF)
Executive Profile
Marc Mandt and Linda Olson, Owners
Tell us about WOMbeat!
WOMbeat! is a fast, easy-to-use online service that helps you find great local businesses recommended by the people you trust the most – your friends.
What differentiates WOMbeat! from directories or other product and service review web sites and blogs?
At WOMbeat!, our primary focus is on "trust," and there is nothing more trustworthy than information from people you actually know. Other sites might provide volumes of local business listings with reviews written by strangers, but nothing beats a recommendation from a friend.
We also focus on "privacy" and "control." We collect only three things from you at sign up: name, email and zip code. You create and manage your circle of friends, thus you determine who has access to your contact information and your list of favorites, not us. We purposely did not put a "find-a-friend" feature on the site so that our users can maintain the highest level of privacy and control.
Finally, we also focus on "ease of use." Other sites require people to write or read reviews. WOMbeat! allows you to create recommendations in just a few clicks – no writing required. Additionally, because you can zero-in on just those businesses your friends recommend, there is no sorting through irrelevant listings to get the information you want.
Is there a fee to become a member?
Unlike some websites today where members have to pay a monthly fee in order to see reviews written by strangers, WOMbeat! is 100% free to use for finding or sharing great local businesses with people you actually trust – your friends. Of course, we think free is always better for obvious reasons, but it also means that we can collect a greater amount of credible user-generated content about local businesses because our members do not cancel their membership.
What was tyour motivation for launching WOMbeat!?
The idea behind WOMbeat! came from personal experience. When people need a plumber or car mechanic, they always ask a friend, "Who do you know?" It is only when they cannot find a trusted recommendation from someone they know that they visit an online directory or review website.
However, traditional means of word-of-mouth in the offline world (water cooler, telephone) are still inefficient, and the recommendations are generally not stored for the future benefit of others.
WOMbeat! solves all these problems by moving the word-of-mouth conversation into an online format where the recommendations are stored as the user's favorites for the benefit of everyone in that user's personal network. In addition, with our next release coming soon, WOMbeat! can help users get very targeted coupons or promotional announcements from those businesses they love the most without these users having to give away their personal contact information and without cluttering up their email inbox with spam.
How does your site function without advertising?
WOMbeat! has shied away from traditional banners and other online advertising for several reasons. Mainly, we want to assure our users that business owners cannot pay us to bias search results in their favor like they can on other websites. Plus, banners and other types of online advertising can be distracting for our users and generally are too expensive or not that effective for the local businesses anyway.
What WOMbeat! does do, however, is provide business owners with the unique ability to leverage the most powerful form of advertising, word of mouth, to help them drive repeat business, reward their biggest evangelists and attract quality new business from the friends of their biggest fans. With our next release coming soon, WOMbeat! provides business owners with their own personalized dashboard to track activity about their business listing and send laser-focused coupons and promotional announcements to different audiences on the site. Plus, we also provide business owners with access to incredible consumer research data about their business not available anywhere else.
Where is WOMbeat available?
WOMbeat! is available across the state of Florida today.

Doing business with the "Little Guy"
Here's another article I came across about why it's not always better to be buying from the big companies.
The article is titled On Startups: My Money's on the Little Guy
There's an old expression that said "No one ever got fired for buying IBM" and I think people often feel safe buying from the large companies and big box stores. This article points out a few things to debunk that myth.

PCI:The Congress on Friday hit back at the BJP for its statement that the opposition party was trying to create a "partition-like situation" in the country, saying that it was the saffron party that was seeking to polarise people and diverting attention from "real issues".
In a sharp attack on the Congress, senior BJP leader and Union minister Nirmala Sitharaman had asked Congress chief Rahul Gandhi to clarify his remarks reported in an Urdu daily that his party was a Muslim party and that he was on a course correction path.
The Congress has dismissed the media report as a "rumour" and asserted that it was a party of 132 crore Indians.
Taking on Sitharaman, Congress spokesperson Sushmita Dev said it was expected that with just days to go for the Monsoon Session, the Defence Minister would take up issues which are "to create unnecessary controversy and move away from real issues".
"I request Nirmala Sitharamanji that you have not bothered to answer the nation about the Rs 58,000 crore Rafale deal which is the biggest scam. If you have the courage in this monsoon session please make a suo moto statement and reply to the nation about how the defence ministry has conducted the biggest scam under your nose," Dev said.
The Defence Minister "is trying to create tensions between people of different religions," the Congress MP said on Friday.
The Congress as a party has fought for the freedom of India, it has stood by the Constitution and is a party that is inclusive, she asserted.
Raking up the issue of 2002 Gujarat riots, the Congress spokesperson accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of making repeated attempts to polarise people.
"We request you to not increase division through your press meets, do not go towards polarisation because that is the only thing the prime minister falls back on before every election.
"This has never been the politics of the Congress. Get ready for some real answers in the coming Monsoon session," she said.
If the peace is shattered in the country, the government is responsible and not the opposition, she added.
"The news of Tharoor's comments, the media report on Rahul are being twisted in the media. The prime minister has made repeated attempts to polarise. What were his intentions? Nirmala Sitharaman must answer this and then question the Congress.
"Till today the biggest black mark in the history of India has been the riots of Gujarat and Prime Minister Modi was the chief minister of Gujarat at that time and still he has not taken moral responsibility for that," Dev said.
Sitharaman, in her remarks, had said that the Congress chief must come out and tell very clearly what he meant when he said that the Congress was a Muslim party.
She also said the opposition party was trying to create a "partition like situation" in the country, and it would be solely responsible if any disharmony plays out between now and 2019.
Earlier in the morning, Congress' communications in-charge Randeep Surjewala, responding to a question on the Urdu media report, said when governance fails, rumours take precedence.
"When the government is on the path of lying, then rumours become the main policy of the government," he said.
No matter how much they try and spread rumours, Prime Minister "Modi's supporters cannot hide his misrule", he said.
Noting that the history of the Indian national movement and the history of the Congress are well documented, Surjewala said the Congress is a party of 132 crore Indians, and will remain so forever.
An Urdu daily had reported that the Congress chief who met Muslim intellectuals on Wednesday told them that the Congress was a party of Muslims.

Hello I'm a single mom of two. My daughter is 9yrs old and my son is 5yrs old. My daughter understands that I'm having a hard time with everything this year. But my 5yr old son doesn't understand….. for one he's autistic so anytime we go in the toy store he picks things up and put it in the basket and just says Kyson wants mom. That breaks my heart cause he doesn't understand that momma's having a really hard time. It would be a BIG BLESSING if I'm chosen to be one of the moms that's blessed with the $500 gift card.But if not….I would like to say on behalf of All The Single Moms and Dads…Thank U All, Chrysyal Patton

A video highlighting a new feature called "Just Enough Administration" from the Hybrid Cloud Platform product Windows Server, explains why it's not good to leave all of your keys on one ring.
For those now aware about Just Enough Administration (JEA), is a new Privilege Identity controls in Windows Server 2016, that uses PowerShell to provide role-based administration to IT personnel—thus limiting the potential damage that can be done by malicious insiders or criminals who have hacked a trusted admin's credentials. That way, "IT personnel have only the job specific keys, without assigning them full admin access."
Here's how JEA limits risk as it uses a layer of "least privilege."
- Users can perform only those tasks for which they are authorized as part of their role by using Windows PowerShell constrained runspaces.
- Users can perform required tasks without being given administrator rights on the server.
- The tasks that users are allowed to perform, and their server access, are defined and managed from a central configuration server by using Windows PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC).
- Constant logging details who has accessed the environment and what's been changed, writes server team.
Take a look at the JEA functioning in this video:[embedhttps://youtu.be/xnBrbkY9P20?list=PL8nfc9haGeb7C9h0mejs_4-OeNeT-y7Ct[/embed]

Medical examiner's apparent mistakes put man in jail
an ABC Action News report 11/21/02
Now, ABC Action News investigator Mike Mason has found Wood made some more big mistakes, ruining the lives of at least two fathers: John Peel and David Long.
For the Long family, little Rebecca was the light of their lives. Born prematurely, she had serious health problems. One day, her tiny body simply shut down.
"I heard that she stopped crying and went to check on her to make sure if she was okay, and that's when I found out she was face down and she wasn't breathing, unfortunately," David recalled.
The Longs took her to the hospital, but it was too late.
"They let me hold her the last half an hour, she died in my arms at 10 after eight," added Theresa Long. "And that was our last moments with her."
The next day, David was informed he was a suspect in his daughter's death. The chief medical examiner at the time, Joan Wood, determined Rebecca was murdered -- a victim of Shaken Baby Syndrome - a claim he denied.
When detectives interviewed David, even they did not believe it. Still, Wood insisted it was murder.
"No sir, I did not," replied detective Jeff Bousquett.
Detective Bousquett wanted a second opinion, and he got one from Wood's replacement, Jon Thogmartin.
"I made sure the state attorney knew there were problems with the case," Thogmartin stated.
Thogmartin and four other pathologists all determined Rebecca died of bronchial pneumonia.
David Long's attorneys are suing the state of Florida. He had to spend 49 days in jail before his murder charges were dropped.
"Just to blow it like that without getting your facts right and missing pneumonia in the child is unforgivable, it really is," attorney Allen Gross insisted.
To this day, Joan Wood has refused to speak about the case.
"I'm sorry, but I can't comment about that case at this point in time," she said, when confronted by Mike Mason.
According to several experts, Wood's autopsy report is plagued with problems. There are discrepancies with the medical findings, and there is not a shred of evidence to prove Baby Rebecca was even abused.
"Rebecca Long did not have trauma," Thogmartin told Action News.
The report goes on to state Rebecca had retinal hemorrhaging, bleeding in the eyes, which is caused when a baby is shaken. However, Thogmartin and four other pathologists found there was no evidence of that.
Wood also made the mistake of listing Rebecca as a baby boy.
Despite all of that, prosecutors charged David Long with first-degree murder, a stigma that remains on his record. He lost his job as a computer operator and had to file for bankruptcy.
Meanwhile, Joan Wood has gone on to open up her own practice as a medical consultant.
"Unfortunately, she can retire or open her own practice, and I don't understand what the deal is. That, to me, is not a very lawful thing," David said.
"Joan Wood needs to step up to the plate and acknowledge the mistakes she made when she was there, and this is obviously one of the biggest she made during her time," insisted attorney Karen Maller.
David Long's attorneys are in the process of getting murder charges erased from his record; they plan to file a lawsuit against the Medical Examiner's Office in two weeks.
Even though state attorney Bernie McCabe claims there are no other cases that need to be reviewed, Action News has found at least one already under review, and the new medical examiner said he is not finished looking into other cases handled by Joan Wood.
ABC Action News will have the story of one of them, John Peel, in a follow-up report.

The 12" x 23" Djembé ideally caters for all ages of secondary school student. Much more tone control available as subtleties of technique can be developed. Significantly heavier than the size down, making it highly durable, and therefore more able to withstand the "increased exertions" that might be inflicted on it at a secondary school level! Though as a result might be a little heavy/unwieldy for smaller year 7/8 students. This is also a good size for an adult player, either as a starting drum, or as a festival drum for the professional who doesn't want to reck his (or her) pride and joy in some muddy field!
The 14" x 24" Djembé ideally caters for the older secondary school student, and teachers. At 2 feet tall, this is the largest, most robust (and therefore heaviest!) drum in this range, it offers more tone control, allowing subtleties of technique to be developed. Very durable, this drum should withstand (supervised!) rigours of life in a secondary school music department! This is a good qulity, full-sized adult Djembé and as such makes a great value beginner's drum/ 2nd drum for more advanced players.

The plate is kind of like a wedding ring, it doesn't change anything, but the public commitment feels good.
I'll turn 50 later this year (Yikes!) and it's given me pause to look back. What a wild ride. Soviet Counterintelligence in the Special Forces. Foreign Exchange Trader for a pharmaceutical giant. Managing Director at a couple of medical device giants. CEO at couple of Silicon Valley startups.
Now I'm a novelist.
Where did that come from? I majored in philosophy and math. I got an MBA in finance. I spent 20 years managing medical technologies – people, marketing, sales. The answer: passion and sweat. Enough passion to spend six years living off savings while I taught myself the craft. Enough sweat to soak stacks of bed sheets (although amazingly my wife remained wrinkle free.) But now my writing is being read at the rate of two pages per second, and I feel like I know what I'm doing. No less importantly, I'm loving it.
I covered a lot of ground before I put a ring on Elena's finger, but I'll be with her for life. Likewise, though the car will change (gotta go electric) the plate's gonna stay the same – for the next 49 years at least.
Thank you for reading,

Last night, I had the pleasure of attending a banquet in my mother's honor. Seeing all the love pour forth around the room and reflecting on her lifetime of achievement reminded me of something that seems to be widely forgotten of late: how fortunate Americans are.
We live in a place where anyone can achieve her dreams, if she takes responsibility on her own shoulders, rather than looking for excuses or others to blame, and lives within her means. She can even make the world a better place in the process. Head down nose to the grindstone is an old axiom, and one worth remembering.
My thriller FLASH currently has 996 reviews on Amazon.com and 936 reviews on Audible.com. I'm excited to be hitting 1000, so it's time for a little fun. If you write the 1000th review and leave your name, I'll be sending you something special.
On that note, consider leaving your contact information on your Amazon reviewer page. Authors often want to reach out to reviewers to thank them or answer questions but can't because there's no contact information. Leaving your email is a great way to connect with the authors you love and get free stuff from other vendors, which is why most top Amazon reviewers leave their contact information.
The gentleman pictured here may not look like Santa Clause, but that's the role he's playing. I've teamed up with twelve other thriller writers this holiday season in a effort to help prevent child abuse. We've each given a story to an anthology titled Thriller Thirteen, with all profits going to charity. I'm hoping you'll buy one.
The anthology is currently the #1 thriller on Amazon. This collection of series-starting bestsellers has been selling for $20, but this week, its final week on the market, the price is just 99¢.
Many of you have already read my contribution, Chasing Ivan, but with twelve other similar stories, you'll surely find at least one new series to love.
Again, it's just 99¢ for the #1 Thriller on Amazon -- this week only, and all for charity.

My latest thriller, THE LIES OF SPIES, is now available exclusively on Amazon, with the audiobook to follow in December.
The second novel in the Kyle Achilles series dives straight into the deep end of the growing divide between the US and Russia. It tackles the problem from the perspective of the people on the ground – something I know a bit about.
I don't want to give too much away here, it is a suspense thriller after all, but this four-line summary below sets the stage. I hope you'll check it out today. There's no need to read PUSHING BRILLIANCE first -- although if you don't I'm sure you'll pick it as well up once you're done.
Thanks for giving me a try!

When we moved to London early this year, we told ourselves that we won't go back for atleast a year and yet we found ourselves headed home much before the year was over. In a way it made sense. We had some unfinished business, a holiday was due, it was Diwali and I felt I needed to reconnect to Delhi.
The holiday happened in Orissa, and it was such a good idea to go there. There is something about the place that draws you in. Its ancient, its spiritual and its beautiful. The temples are some of the best that I have ever been to, the beaches were excellent and well kept, the hotel we stayed in Puri was a wonderful art-deco place and the sea food was brilliant. It was a wonderful week and glad I got to do that before I hit Delhi and its Diwali mania.
How can you do justice to a city where you've spent all of 30 years by visiting it for a week. There is so much to see, so much to do. There are people to call, places to see, errands to run. There is family to meet. So we did the next best thing which was to sit at home when we were not out running errands. It was strange being in Delhi. Its not for the first time that I have stayed for a week, but this time I knew that I am not coming back for quite some time. I felt disconnected and yet I also felt connected.
I am not sure if I feel the same for India as a whole. I work for a news organisation which has played a major part in shaping my opinion about the world. The other day I was looking through its archives and it has more stuff in radio and TV about the subcontinent than any news source back home. Sixty years of independence were celebrated with so many fantastic documentaries about the subcontinent. So most people I work with are aware of India, aware of its history, present and also its future. Its interesting talking to them and understanding their perspective of things. So yes I do still feel quite connected to India.
My office is next door to India House and every day as I walk into my office there is a queue of visa seekers. The queue is so long that it goes all across my office into the next building. It reminds me of the visa seekers back home who camp all night in front of the US and UK embassies. If I am not running late every morning I'd like to chat up with some of the visa seekers to ask where are they planning to go to India. Maybe I can plan their trips to them, free of charge.This will be my thank you to London for making me feel at home. Too much at home sometimes.
I know they will need it when they land in India.

On Monday, February 12th, the Law and the Arts Initiative sponsored its third event, "Journalism for Lawyers: How to Launch a Writing Career." Five successful journalists and Harvard Law graduates came to share their career paths and their takes – some optimistic, some less so – on prospects for new journalists in their rapidly changing field.
Assistant Director of Academic Affairs Amy Gutman, herself a published novelist, introduced the Law and the Arts Initiative, a year-old program that has so far sponsored the Creative Writers' Group and panels on starting a writing career in law school and careers in book publishing. Gutman announced that the initiative would be partnering with the Berkman Center to start a blog focusing on student writing about their summer work experiences. She also introduced moderator Elaine McCardle, who most students know as HLS's Publications Director, but who also "ditched the law," as McCardle put it, very soon after graduating law school to become a journalist.
The first panelist to speak was Ruth Marcus '84, currently a columnist for the Washington Post. Marcus was a journalist before she came to law school, explaining that while she wrote for the National Law Journal, "my basic understanding of law was, 'Okay, so there are federal courts, and state courts, right?"" At HLS, she wrote a few pieces for the Post and even managed to ruffle the feathers of former Dean Vorenberg, getting into a discussion with him about "whether you could really be off the record at an event with 300 people there."
Marcus explained that most people she interviewed in Washington did not expect a reporter to have a law degree, leading to some entertaining anecdotes about the "most obnoxious things I ever did with my Harvard Law degree," involving Marcus dropping the "H-bomb" when confronted by particularly condescending interview subjects.
Marcus worked at two large law firms after her 2L year, but quickly realized it was not for her, and that she preferred the creativity and independence of the newsroom. On a visit to the Post newsroom during that summer, she passed the desk of one of the editors, which had a stuffed monkey suspended over it on a bouncing cord. "I bet those law firms don't have any stuffed monkeys," said one of the Post staffers to her.
"And she was right," Marcus told the crowd. "Then I knew I had to go back."
Finally, Marcus encouraged aspiring journalists to look for opportunities to do writing that was not academic legal work, including editorials and writing on the Internet.
Next to speak was Adam Cohen '87, former president of the Harvard Law Review. Cohen's journalism career began at the Harvard Crimson, where he was on staff for three years. After law school, he also eschewed the firm world, working as a lawyer for the Southern Poverty Law Center before joining the staff of TIME. He now works for the New York Times, where he is a columnist and Associate Editor of the editorial page.
Cohen spoke of loving both journalism and the law, and how he had not left the latter for good: "Unlike most legal journalists, I really do like the practice of law and think there's a lot you can do with it. And I may go back to it."
Cohen also emphasized the unplanned nature of his career, which led to him taking jobs he wouldn't have expected, like writing about technology even though he didn't know much about it. One particularly interesting interview, of eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, led to him writing a book, The Perfect Store: Inside Ebay. Cohen encouraged the crowd to "be flexible, try lots of things."
The next panelist, Murad Kalam '02, was making his second appearance on a Law and the Arts panel after speaking at "How to Launch a Writing Career in Law School" last spring. Kalam's novel, Night Journey, was published to critical acclaim last year, and he has since written non-fiction pieces for magazines and contributed commentary to NPR. Kalam explained that he owed part of his early success to contacts he made at HLS, especially One L author Scott Turow, who gave a favorable quote to his book, and journalist Debra Dickerson, who recommended him for journalism jobs.
Kalam also admitted he first came to journalism as a way to promote his novel, but has since gotten a lot more out of it. He traveled to Egypt to do some non-fiction writing that was published in Granta and the New York Times Magazine, and is now setting his second novel in that country. Kalam had some of his first novel written when he graduated from Harvard College, but chose law school because he "wanted something more practical than an MFA." He worked briefly at a large law firm before taking a leave that he "never came back from."
Kalam encouraged the audience to "do it all" – to start writing while they are in school or a job, and not see the writing life as something they save up money for and then do full-time on some faraway date.
Representing the blogosphere encroaching on the readership of many of the other panelists was John Hinderaker '74, the co-founder and writer of Powerline, one of the most-visited conservative blogs on the Internet. Hinderaker was the only panelist still actively practicing law; he is a partner at Minnesota's Faegre & Benson LLP.
Hinderaker told the story of how he was writing commentary for print outlets before he and Scott Johnson set up the blog as an experiment; Johnson liked the idea, but said, "The idea that anyone would read what we write is a pathetic fantasy." Powerline now gets 60,000 readers a week, and is credited with breaking the "Rathergate" story in 2004 that exposed documents critical of President Bush's National Guard service as forgeries.
Hinderaker spoke of the reasons so many lawyers aspire to be writers. "Lots of lawyers have blogs or unfinished screenplays in a drawer," he said. "Why? First, because many of them don't find law to be fulfilling. But it's also because these are people who analyze well, who write succinctly and fast." Hinderaker praised the ability of blogs to get ideas to people cheaply and fast, but cautioned against using them as a salary source: "There's potential, but not many sites have enough traffic to support you full-time through advertising."
Finally, Paul M. Barrett '84, former Wall Street Journal columnist and book author, took the microphone. Barrett spoke of wanting to go into prosecution, but being worried during a summer internship when it seemed many of the AUSAs he worked with were heading off to private practice, which he did not want to do. "I panicked," he said. "I thought that was all that there was, and I quit law school and worked as a journalist for a while." Barrett however, decided to come back to HLS, and found that his career "sorted itself out." He is now on a book tour for his current work, American Islam: The Struggle for the Soul of a Religion.
Barrett offered some words of caution for aspiring journalists, mentioning how the field is contracting in the age of alternative media. He advised students to only try the field as a career if "you feel you must go into journalism," pointing out that the panellists had somewhat atypical careers because they had experienced so much success.
During the question-and-answer period, debate ensued about how much of a "Pollyanna" or a "grinch" to be about career prospects in journalism. All the panellists, however, encouraged the audience to be flexible and try new things in their future work, and not get locked into thinking there was only one acceptable career path.
"The two things about Harvard Law," said Kalam, "are that we become risk-averse and we think things should be easy to get and laid out for us. Whatever you do, do it because you love it."
Ideas For Breaking Into Print
The panelists at "Journalism for Lawyers" agreed that aspiring journalists can't get a staff job without proof that they can write – and having a small portfolio of published "clippings" is the best way to show that. Some ideas for getting started:
Write an op-ed for your local
newspaper on a subject you know and care about.
Start or contribute to a blog that publishes well-written pieces on politics or culture (A MySpace blog about how your life sucks is fine, but will not help you break into journalism.)
Submit personal essays to magazines and newspapers that have special features open to the public, like the New York Times' "Modern Love," Newsweek's "My Turn," NPR's "This I Believe," or more local features.
You knew it was coming: Write an article or editorial for The Record. No cruel rejection slips involved. World-class copyediting.

The major corporations that drive the Rock River Valley economy continue to be very profitable, will that finally mean major jobs gains?
Walgreens Co. yesterday reported a slight gain in revenue in its second fiscal quarter and a small decline in its profits.
The Deerfield-based company's flat revenues and declining profits was an anomaly in the latest round of earnings reports, which were based on business activity in the final three months of 2011. For the eighth time in the past nine quarters, more than 60 percent of the companies on the Register Star's Star 60 stock index released profit levels that were better year over year.
Several of the more significant companies to the local economy led the way:
* Woodward Inc., which employs more than 1,400 in Loves Park, reported a nearly 12 percent increase in revnue and $6 million more in profit in January.
* United Technologies, which employs nearly 3,000 locally at Hamilton Sundstrand in Rockford and Taylor Co. in Rockton, saw its earnings on $15 billion in revenue increase by more than $169 million.
* Exelon Corp., which employs nearly 1,000 at its CommonwealthEdison service center in Rockford and nuclear generating stations in Byron, had nearly 16 percent more in profits on $4.25 billion in revenue.
* Kraft Foods, which has about 900 workers at its gum plant in Loves Park, reported a 53.7 percent increase in earnings on 6.6 percent more revenue.
Still, even though companies have been piling up profits for more than two years now, 2011 ended with a jobless rate of 12.3 percent in Boone and Winnebago counties.
John Lewis, an economist formerly for Northern Illinois University who now runs a consulting firm in Sycamore, said the sustained profitability will help companies continue to hire, but several hurdles remain before that pace increases signficantly.
"Oil prices are a concern. That is a primary cost in transporation and production," Lewis said. "There are still a lot of unknowns with the European economy. I don't see major capital investments by companies this year."
The hiring figures will be better in the first quarter of 2012. Chrysler Group LLC is adding 1,800 to its assembly plant in Belvidere, boosting payroll to a record 4,500. That in itself will drive the unemployment near 10 percent. Several Chrysler suppliers are boosting payrolls as well.
"For a long time the national economy has been having a more robust recovery than we've had here," Lewis said. "Now, we're going to catch up with the rest of the country. There are still several industries though where the recovery is very gradual."Widget: blog_inline_images image image_size Large Widget: blog_inline_images image image_size Large Widget: blog_inline_images image image_size Large

Although bottled water is now the drink of choice for many teens, soda, energy drinks, and sport drinks remain the top source of sugar in children's and teens' diets. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, teens guzzle over 100 daily calories from beverages that are void of critical nutrients necessary for bone health and skeletal growth.
More than any time in life, adequate calcium is key during adolescence to build a strong skeleton and prevent stress fractures from active sports. According to the USDA Food and Nutrition Service, adolescents, on average, choose food and beverages low in folate, vitamins A and E, iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium, and fiber.
It's important for teens to make the most of every opportunity to get essential nutrients—especially when it comes to beverages! While sugary drinks offer only empty calories, beverages made with real milk such as lattes, chocolate milk and fruit smoothies provide calcium, protein, and a host of other healthy vitamins and minerals.
Lattes: Lattes and other coffee drinks made with dairy milk—whether fat-free or full fat—are an excellent way to get bone-building calcium, vitamin A and magnesium.
Chocolate Milk: Flavored milk provides the same nine essential vitamins and minerals as white milk. Research shows that chocolate milk is the perfect combo of protein and carbohydrates needed by student athletes to replenish fluids and rebuild muscle after exercise. Added bonus: Teens love it!
Fruit Smoothies: Creamy yogurt and milk as ingredients provide a big dose of protein, calcium and magnesium while frozen fruits provide potassium and fiber.
Blues Buster Blueberry Peach Smoothie
• 8 ounces low-fat vanilla Greek yogurt
• 3/4 cup frozen blueberries
• 3/4 cup frozen peaches
• 1/2 cup low-fat milk
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 cup ice cubes
Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend untilsmooth and frothy. Serve in a chilled glass immediately.
What About Sports and Energy Drinks?
The American Academy of Pediatrics states "routine intake of carbohydrate-containing sports drinks by children and adolescents should be avoided or restricted because these drinks can increase the risk of obesity, as well as dental erosion. Energy drinks pose potential health risks because of the stimulants they contain, and should never be consumed by children or adolescents".

Anti-immigration graffiti found on Busch
On Thursday, graffiti that read, "No immigrants aliens" and "Dear Mr. T: Build the Wall! Now." was found outside the Interfaith Mediation/Prayer Room on Busch campus.
Nafisa Tanjeem, a Class of 2017 graduate, posted images of the wall adjacent to the room where the graffiti was posted onto her Facebook page after a student sent her pictures.
"A friend of mine, who is a current Ph.D. student, reached out to me on Facebook last night (Thursday). She informed me that she went to the Interfaith Mediation Room at (the) Busch Campus Center on the same day at around 2:30 p.m. to pray and then she found two graffitis on the wall," she said.
Tanjeem said she submitted a bias incident report and contacted Vice Chancellor of Diversity and Inclusion Jorge Schement along with Felicia McGinty, the vice chancellor of Student Affairs. They both confirmed that the Rutgers University Police Department (RUPD) is investigating the situation and is working with Busch Student Center staff to remove the graffiti.
The Interfaith Mediation spaces, run by the Rutgers Ahlul-Bayt Student Association (ABSA), provides a retreat for prayer, meditation and spiritual activities for people of all faiths and religious traditions, according to its Facebook.
"We are of the opinion that education, solidarity and showing love in the face of hate is the most effective way to deal with any type of oppressive speech or behavior. We will approach this situation in the same manner," Hiba Raza, an ABSA spokesperson said in an email to The Daily Targum.
The School of Arts and Sciences senior said ABSA always supported UndocuRutgers, refugees and minorities, as well as the local community, regardless of race, religion and socioeconomic status. She said that the organization has yet to release an official statement and would rather the voices of those directly affected speak for themselves.
"What often happens is allies drown out those directly affected. It is our job as allies to raise up and provide an audience and a platform as well as support for the students who feel personally attacked," Raza said.
The University was unable to comment by the time of publication.
Please note All comments are eligible for publication in The Daily Targum.

The use of complementary and alternative medicine by patients with diabetes mellitus in Bahrain: a cross-sectional study.

Publication Date
Adult, Aged, Bahrain, Complementary Therapies, Cross-Sectional Studies, Diabetes Complications, Diabetes Mellitus, Female, Health Care Surveys, Humans, Male, Middle Aged, Questionnaires, Sex Factors, Young Adult
This article is also available from http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6882/10/35
BACKGROUND: CAM use is widespread, especially among patients with diabetes. The Gulf States have a high prevalence of diabetes, alongside a long tradition of CAM use. The aim of this study is to establish the prevalence of CAM use among patients with diabetes mellitus in Bahrain and to examine the characteristics of the CAM users.
METHODS: A questionnaire was developed and administered to a convenience sample of patients with diabetes (n = 402) above the age of 20 attending two hospital diabetes clinics. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests of association.
RESULTS: 63% of responders utilized CAM within the previous 12 months. CAM users were more likely to be female, to have had diabetes for longer and to have complications of their diabetes. 64% of CAM users stated that they had used CAM for managing their diabetic condition, with 46% of these having used it solely for their diabetes. Respondents using CAM to manage their diabetes were more likely to be male, to be using CAM on a daily basis and to have informed their physician of their CAM use.
CONCLUSIONS: There is a high rate of CAM use in patients with diabetes attending two hospital diabetes clinics in Bahrain. There is also a high rate of non-disclosure of CAM use to physicians. There is a continuing need for health professionals to be more aware and better trained in order to inform their decision making and communication related to CAM use.

The best advice I can give in regards to sleep in the first month is "Try to sleep when your baby sleeps". In the first month sleep is probably the one thing that you will crave most but sadly will not get much of especially long uninterrupted sleeps. The silver lining is that it does get better so just hang in there!
During the first few weeks you will notice that your baby tends to sleep most of the day and play during the night! Don't be alarmed this is normal as they are not able to distinguish between day or night and are simply doing what they have been doing in our womb. That's why if you are like me find your baby seems to be active and kicking in my stomach more during the night than in the day. For this reason the first month can be extremely difficult and if there is any offers for help during this month take it up. I was lucky and had mum help out for the whole first month! Not sure how I would have survived with her!
To help baby adjust to a day and night routine there are a few things we can do to speed up that adjustment so that eventually baby distinguishes that day is for play and night is for sleep! Which will help us get our sleep back on track as smoothly as possible.
Firstly, it is very important that we try to help our newborn distinguish between day and night as quickly as possible otherwise you will be pulling your hair out during the first month due to the lack of sleep but also the stress that comes with having little or no sleep. During the day have all curtains and blinds open even if baby is asleep it helps them to recognise day has light plus if you have a jaundice baby like I did, the UV light is good for the baby. Jaundice is quite common amongst Asian babies if left untreated can cause liver and kidney damage, but rest assured it is easily treated and most doctors usually pick it up during your hospital stay. Also, during the day give baby plenty of playtime such as tummy time, music time, and some TV for noise is good. Some activity lets baby know it is day even while it is asleep try to continue with what you are doing for some noise it helps baby to recognise its morning.
During the night try to keep the room dark and quiet, but if you are like me and feel uncomfortable having your newborn in complete darkness a soft night light or lamp is good. I also preferred to play some soft music when I put baby down to sleep at night but reading to it prior to bedtime is good too. Whatever you do try to stick to that routine it helps baby to recognise that this is night time now. If you find baby has trouble settling down try giving them a warm bath prior to bed time this helps to relax them and I find they settle quicker and sleep longer after a nice bath. My son still sleeps straight after his bath irrespective of what time he has his bath because he is so use to that routine from birth. If baby cries or stirs during the night try patting baby on the bottom gently while singing softly to them this helps to soothe them back to sleep. Avoid picking them up straight away if they cry at night unless they are screaming in pain. You will slowly recognise and distinguish between a cry for attention or a pain cry, call it a mothers instinct. So if you stick to a usual morning and night routine this will go a long way to helping baby sleep well not only during the day but also most importantly during the night.
The only other important thing to help baby sleep better is providing a safe and secure environment for your baby. Having a proper cot to put baby in will make it a lot easier to settle baby and keep them asleep longer. Check out my post on choosing a cot if you need help or are confused as I know there are so many different ones available. Avoid putting excessive heavy blankets on your baby as overheating them can cause stress and disturb their sleep. Instead of thick blankets if baby is born in winter put baby in a baby sleeping bag my recommendation is the Grobag which is what I used for my son and absolutely love it as it was very easy to put him in. You can check their website here at www.gro.co.uk However, my friend has also recommended the Ergo Pouch which she used and said that her daughter never got too hot in it. Their website is www.ergopouch.com.au. For the first couple of weeks swaddle baby before putting them to sleep. Swaddling helps soothe and comfort them while they are asleep. Swaddling baby while sleeping instead of putting blankets on baby helps to reduce SIDS as advised by my maternity nurses. I love the Aden and Anais range of swaddles, yes the same ones used by the Duchess of Cambridge for her little boy. The Aden and Anais swaddles I find are more light and breathable compared to the flannette ones the hospitals supply. They also show you how to properly swaddle your baby on the website www.adenandanais.com.au. I love their range of baby products and take forever browsing their website. Try to keep baby's cot as clear and minimal as possible. No pillows, teddy bears, dolls or cot bumpers should be put on baby's cot in the first month to help reduce the incident of SIDS. Lastly, I know in many Asian cultures we were told to put baby on its tummy or side to sleep as putting it on its back will give baby a flat head (does this sound familiar?) But currently based on recent medical research putting baby to sleep on it's back is the best way to reduce SIDS. So this is my recommendation and both my boys slept on their backs and I can guarantee both have round heads not flat ones!

Microsoft Gifting 20 GB of Free SkyDrive To Windows Phone UsersAuthor: JohnCartinell | Filed under: About, digital storage, News, skydrive, Windows 8 Phone, windows phone
Extra storage for the holidays If you're a lucky owner of a Windows Phone or have a giftee in mind who would love some extra storage space, it's about to be one happy holiday! Microsoft is offering extra SkyDrive storage for free in an email announcement sent to all Windows Phone users. That's 20 GB of free storage up for grabs (active for a year) so all told, 27 GB of storage simply or being a Windows Phone user! Unfortunately (via TechSpot ) it looks as thouh this offer was only sent out to Windows 8 phone adopters, so if you run to your mailbox and find it a little bare, your Windows 7 phone may be the reason. Still, most Windows Phone users have a little something to celebrate as the holidays roll around, even if it's just a little more space to store their photos.

Despite having promised to see hubby and dad-in-law off to the Mull rally at 6am, I slept through their clatterings thanks to my super-dooper silicon ear plugs. My bad. You need ear plugs when your partner is deaf though, because they're oblivious to how annoying throwing the toilet seat up with such force that it slams against the cistern in the middle of the night can be, for instance.
After the last of the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs for breakfast, mum-in-law and I donned our wetsuits, and drove down to Portmahomack for a quick dip. Because we're really hard. The sun was shining, and with no wind it really was a glorious October day. The water was still bloody cold though so we didn't stay in long. Just long enough to attract an audience, intrigued by the two strange women in brightly coloured swim hats.
Wild swimming is definitely the way to go. Twas mum-in-law who introduced me to it a few years ago, and once you've tried it, there's no going back to a heavily chlorinated pool. It's good for your skin, and sense of wellbeing, and certainly wakes you up! This was definitely my last wild swim until the Spring though, or at least until I've bought some diving boots and gloves.
We drove to the Tain Pottery workshop after lunch, based not surprisingly just outside of Tain. I much preferred their designs (and prices) to the Anta range, so purchased two very cute tea plates, whilst mum-in-law very kindly bought us a matching milk jug. You're welcome to watch the potters and painters at work behind the scenes, and it was fascinating to see the kilns and specially commissioned pieces. All of the painting is done by hand, with the training for just a few designs taking months at a time. Whilst the boss seemed a bit gruff to begin with, his staff were lovely and friendly, and enjoyed chatting and gossiping with us about local goings on.
From the pottery we headed back to Asda for some last minute essentials, and to the harbour in Port (what the locals call Portmahomack), before going back to the cottage one last time for a fish supper.
We were sad to leave Scotland behind after such a fabulous holiday, and as always it felt like we were away for longer than a week. It's always good to leave work things at home though, to have a complete break, and to dream about plans for the future. I never miss the telly, my ipad, or even a mobile phone reception. Having complete peace and quiet is always appreciated. More of the same please.

pediped® Originals Isabella - Chocolate Brown
|Ask a question about this product
Pediped Originals® are the first step in the pediped® footwear system and the best first shoes your child will ever wear. When children learn to walk, they tend to shuffle, so it is important for their feet to feel the floor. Doctors recommend shoes with soft leather soles because they most closely mimic barefoot walking and do not force children to change their natural stride.
Originals® feature soft, flexible leather soles and a roomy toebox so feet can move, grip, and feel the floor. This way, little feet can grow properly and develop strength, musculature, and the grasping action of the toes. Originals® closely resemble the natural shape of the foot and are so comfortable your child will not want to take them off!
NEW FOR 2012! Originals® styles now feature a more slip resistant sole with a new diamond tread. This innovative sole is made of all-natural leather, just like before.pediped® encourages children to stay in Originals® as long as possible, but once your child is walking, he or she can transition to pediped Grip 'n' Go

These 10" Dia hollow polystyrene spheres are made from the best materials available. Each polystyrene sphere is made from two injection-molded hemispheres, providing uniform shape, wall thickness and density. The 141 Instrument Housings are held together by partial vacuum-sealed with an o-ring face seal, while the 142 Flotation spheres are thermally fused together. They are designed to withstand heavy blows and high pressure.
Polystyrene can be drilled, tapped, spotfaced, solvent or adhesive bonded, thermally welded, or embossed. Like glass, it's corrosion proof and invisible to WiFi, but more shock resistant. Polystyrene can be degraded by long-term exposure to UV, and certain organic solvents.
Designer's Note: Buoyancy of an instrument sphere is reduced by the air weight of the contents placed in the interior.

In part 3 we looked at a basic controller with an even more basic template. But in the real world you will more than likely want to use a web framework to speed up your development – enter Twitter Bootstrap, or just Bootstrap as it's recently re-branded too.
There are a few ways to set up Bootstrap so it plays nicely with your Symfony 2 install, and this is the way I have had most success with.
