Beehive Cheese & Creminelli Salami Collection
Cheese lovers are abuzz about the handcrafted delights from Utah's Beehive Cheese Company. Our sampler includes a wedge of their famous Barely Buzzed cheese and Beehive Rusk crackers accompanied by a salami from Utah's Crisitano Creminelli and piquant blood orange preserves.
- Barely Buzzed: Aged for 7 months, this award-winning cheese shares the same name as the espresso coffee roasted by the cheesemaker's brother in Colorado. The espresso, roasted in small batches, is combined with lavender and hand rubbed into the cheese's rind to give a nutty, exotic flavor to the buttery semi-hard cheese; 10 oz.
- Beehive Rusks: whole-grain crackers made with dried cherries, seeds, nuts, sea salt and Utah wildflower honey, all wonderful flavors to accompany the cheese; 4 oz.
- Salami Casalingo: This "salami of the house" is made in the traditional Italian style with coarse-ground pork from naturally raised heritage breed pigs; hand-selected organic spices enhance its sweetness; 5.5 oz.
- Pepperlane Blood Orange Preserves: This deep crimson marmalade combines chunks of flavorful blood orange with the spicy heat of jalapeno chilies; 7 oz.
- Shipped fresh and chilled from Beehive Cheese Company.
- Made in USA.
Dimensions & More Info
- Made in USA.
Use & Care
Receiving Instructions
- Upon receipt, place the cheese and salami in the refrigerator. The salami keeps up to 1 month refrigerated.
- For peak flavor and texture, it's best to consume the cheese at room temperature and within two weeks of receipt. Remove the wrapped cheese from the refrigerator 1 to 2 hours prior to serving. We recommend leaving the cheese in the packaging as it comes to room temperature to prevent oxidation, which may affect the flavor. Cut and set out only as much cheese as you plan to serve, returning the rest to the refrigerator. Wrap any unused cheese in plastic wrap.
- Barely Buzzed: Pasteurized cows milk, cheese cultures, coffee, lavender, canola oil, enzymes.
- Salami: Pork, salt, sugars, natural flavors, spices (pepper), lactic acid starter cultures, garlic, in beef casing.
- Beehive Rusks: Spelt flour, buttermilk (low fat milk, lactic acid bacteria culture, salt) pumpkin seed, dried cherries (cherries, cane sugar), pecans, brown sugar, flax seed, honey, molasses, sunflower seed, baking soda, sea salt, rosemary.
- Pepperlane Blood Orange Preserves: Sugar, vinegar, blood orange, jalapeno, fruit pectin.

Ambassador Berger on occasion of book launchings: "Coping with Global Environmental Change, Disasters and Security"
(as delivered)
Excellencies, Colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Prof. Oswald-Spring, Dear Dr. Brauch
· It is my pleasure to welcome you all and to convey to you the very warm regards of Ambassador Wittig, PR of Germanyto the UN, who unfortunately and on short notice was not able to attend this very important book launch event today.
· I am very happy to take this opportunity to welcome Prof. Ursula Oswald-Spring and Dr. Hans Günter Brauch, editor of three volumes of the "Global Environmental and Human Security Handbook for the Anthropocene". They are representing at todays event the 164 authors who have worked on this impressive handbook. "Coping with Global Environmental Change, Disasters and Security", which they will present to us in a moment.
· The three volumes are not only valuable handbooks with a lot of expertise. But they are also remarkable because of two characteristics: First it deals with the whole range of issues covering the current discussion on environmental challenges: climate change, food security, desertification, water management, health, disaster resilience. And it does not stop at elaborating the challenges from a scientific point of view: it develops strategies for the international community to cope with these challenges. That is what makes this book so extremely valuable.
· And second, may be more important, it brings together many authors from all over the world, many of them are experts and scientists from developing countries, enriching the academic and political debate.
· There is of course a very close link between this book and our work as diplomats in New York: Scientific input is indispensable for our day-to-day work. Without the input of academics, informed debates within the UN on very complex subjects would not be possible.
· As you can see this impressive book which has more than 1500 pages is challenging. To my mind this adequately reflects the complexity of the problems at stake:
Big problems require big thoughts !
· Let me pick out briefly one issue, which is very much in the focus of our interest and of Germany´s policy within the United Nations: The security dimension of climate change:
· Over the last years, the impact of climate change on our ecosystems and on security has become more and more visible. Recent extreme weather events have shown that environmental disasters caused by climate change are becoming increasingly frequent and more intense. Scientists predict that the sea-level could rise up to 2 meters until the end of this century, affecting the habitat of millions of people, putting in danger the existence of entire states and causing large-scale population movements.
· Due to climate change and resulting desertification, increasing floods and degradation of soil, crop yields worldwide could decline significantly, dramatically challenging food security and worsening hunger. Today, food prices are on the rise again and almost at the all time high of 2008. The potential consequences for peace and security are apparent: historical as well as recent experiences have shown how such situations could cause political instability in whole regions and reverse partially the progress made in terms of human development.
· Climate change and security has been subject to an open debate in the UN Security Council during the British Presidency in 2007. The report presented by the UN Secretary-General in 2009 on "Climate change and its possible security implications" identified both possible threats to security and ways to reduce these threats. The General Assembly addressed "Climate Change and its possible security implications" in Resolution 63/281 of 11 June 2009and invited all relevant organs of the UN to intensifying their efforts in considering and adressing climate change, including its possible security implications. Germanythinks that the increased importance of the issue justifies the Security Council examining it once more.
· Therefore, Germany as a non-permanent member of the UN-SC for the years 2011 and 2012 is envisaging to organize an open debate strictly focusing on the security implications of climate change during its presidency in July 2011 within the SC´s mandate to adress threats to international peace and security in a preventive manner.
· We feel this is a very important issue. For many countries adapting to climate change is a crucial issue. It has serious consequences on regional stability and security. We need to act now, and be aware of the consequences if we don't.
· Fighting climate change is at the heart of Germany´s international climate diplomacy. But we are also very ambitious at home: We intend to reduce our emissions by 40% by 2020 in order to give a good example. To conclude let me once again congratulate all authors for this outstanding book. I am very optimistic that it will find its way in many libraries and serve researchers, scientists, libraries, institutes, international organisations - as well as diplomats and negotiators - as a standard reference.
· Thank you very much !

Bit more than I wanted to spend, but done a really good job at fixing the damage on my car. Better than expected.
Took in my s type jag to change the gearbox sump,filter and oil.i supplied the parts.i bought them from eBay.got a call from garage to say I got wrong sump pan.they cleaned up the original and put my new oil in.car runs and gear change is smooth and spot on. Thank you and I will recommend you to my friends and use you again.i also got a call to say I forgot my sump pan that I supplied.went back and got it and now its going back to suppliers.thanks again.great customer care.friendly staff
Very good service
Not only did they do the work on the same day, very quickly, charging reasonable prices, they were also top guys. Would recommend without hesitation.
Positive experience with Autowerke Garage. They booked me in and fixed my ailing aircon all on the same day. Warm and friendly staff with a cosy waiting area. I'll most certainly be returning in the future for other jobs. Highly recommended. Thanks guys
Really good service friendly and helpful will defo return when needed don't get service like this verry often thanks
Great service..very friendly...
Great service and price. BMW 5 Series, full service & MOT reasonable price. I strongly recommended. Thanks again
Did not use the garage
Nobody contacted me the garage did not even call me and this is two attempts to use a service from this site with no one getting back to arrange an appointment had to use Kwikfit to get my car done
Very good service
its very good i got good service
Very friendly people good service.
Great service. Mechanic was helpful.
very happy with the service
great job
Had some extra work done
New clutch, one new tyre and a few other little bits, highly recommend, good service and kept me updated throughout
Alex was friendly and informative, I would recommend this garage. My car was fixed within 24 hours which was great and as an extra bonus i was also provided a courtesy car which was very handy. This garage will be my go-to garage from now. Thank you very much.
absolutely superb service from Alex. highly recommended and i will continue to use for all my cars. the guy was very honest and fair and treated us better then most main dealers. Southgate motor engineering is a example to how all garages should do business.customer for life
had my car remapped stage 1 from 122 bhp - 142 bhp Made a really nice change to the car with the extra power, great work at a great garage, would recommend 100%
Absolutely brilliant service. Quoted and delivered work faster than expected. Would definitely recommend.
Experienced garage who dealt with a number of separate issues very well, including ordering in specialist parts. Returning to find the car washed and vacuumed was a nice touch. 8 stars rather than 10 purely for the fact that I was informed they would need to keep the car overnight and it was only when I put my foot down that the job was finished on the day. Normally I'd accept that but I had dropped the car off at 7am so clearly had hoped to be first in the queue!
Very good on the whole, the mechanic was able to fix the problem within half an hour. Branko very helpful and honest. Will definitely go again. They are a little pricey compared to the other estimates I received but you are guaranteed a very top service.
They were great, really nice people, very quick, would use again.
Very happy with service, done a decent job, would use again.
Pleased with the work done, would use again.

Whether you're looking to party, relax or explore, the Dominican Republic has a lot to offer. The best time to visit is either February or November; both with great weather and smaller crowds; temperatures here don't vary much with an average of 30 degrees in most places all year round.
Offering many outside activities such as golf, snorkeling, windsurfing and kiteboarding and also many indoor activities such as dancing the night away, shopping for mementos and souvenirs or visiting the casinos the Dominican Republic could be the perfect place for your next holiday.

REDLANDS - The change in scenery has made for a nice change of pace for Police Chief Mark Garcia.
Garcia, a year and a half into his tenure as Redlands' top cop, spent nearly 25 years in San Bernardino, attaining the rank of assistant chief of police.
With its high crime rate and rough reputation, perhaps it would have been easy to leave the city behind.
Not for Garcia. His law-enforcement career started in San Bernardino and it flourished there. But he leaped at the opportunity to lead the Redlands department, although it was not an easy decision to make by any means.
"That (San Bernardino) is my home department; that is where I started," Garcia said. "I loved the city and I loved the department. It was a great place to work and I got to work with some of the best cops you will find in the world."
Garcia wasted little time after being sworn in as Redlands' police chief. He embraced an unsolved case almost immediately - a double homicide in which four people were shot.
Garcia chose to take a fresh look at the case, brought in new investigators.
"That was one of my highest priorities, the need to solve that case," Garcia said.
Garcia added, "We put forth the effort, the energy, the overtime, the manpower that was necessary to do that. And we were successful in solving that case. Those four people are in jail waiting for their preliminary hearing and hopefully they will be held accountable."
In November, Garcia watched as his staff conducted a manhunt, eventually capturing the fugitive with the help of the community.
"You see those types of things happening in other cities but those aren't the type of things you see in this city," Garcia said.
Garcia took over as Redlands police chief in June of 2011. He was one of seven candidates interviewed for the position and met with four panels. He took over for Jim Bueermann, who had been with the Redlands Police Department for 32 years.
"Redlands always had a good reputation," Garcia said. "It was a reputation that they were a good department and that it was diligent with investigating crime."
Seeking the spot in Redlands was something he couldn't pass up.
"It was a great opportunity and even though I loved my career in San Bernardino, I did have aspirations and goals to become a police chief," Garcia said. "I had to seize the opportunity when it made itself available. There are not many of them."
Garcia has 79 police officers on his staff, down from the department's 98 about three years ago. At one point he had 356 in at San Bernardino.
He'd like Redlands' number to be in the 90s.
"It's difficult to say exactly the number we should have," Garcia said. "We have a total of 126 employees. This is where we sit right now."
Garcia said he tried to meet with everyone on the staff, individually and in groups. He has reached out to the community as well in the form of community forums.
"The department has been very welcoming and it brought me in as part of the department," Garcia said. "That was my goal. When I came here I wanted to be part of the Redlands Police Department. I wasn't here to bring the San Bernardino Police Department to Redlands. I wanted to be part of the Redlands Police Department. It has a great reputation and I wanted to be a part of that."

Amazon has quietly joined the ranks of cloud-based file syncing services like Dropbox, Google Drive and Microsoft's SkyDrive. The company's Amazon Cloud Drive — previously limited to a rather primitive web-based interface — now offers desktop file syncing tools like those found in Dropbox.
To test out the new Cloud Drive syncing, grab the new desktop app for Windows or OS X (sorry Linux fans, currently there is no desktop client for Linux).
Once you've installed the new Cloud Drive app, you'll find a new folder on your drive — drop whichever files you'd like to sync into that folder and they'll automatically be sent to Amazon's servers. You'll then have access to them on any computer with Cloud Drive installed and through the Cloud Drive web interface, though what you can do with files in the web interface is extremely limited.
It's worth noting that the Cloud Drive app requires Java. As our friends at Ars Technica point out, that means users with newer Macs will be prompted to install Java as well (the Windows app comes with Java bundled).
There's also no mobile apps for any platform (there is an Android Photo app, but all it does is send photos from your phone to Cloud Drive). In fact, while Cloud Drive will sync files between desktops, beyond that there isn't much to see yet.
Part of the appeal of any web-based sync tool is ubiquitous access, not just via the web but in your favorite mobile apps as well and in that space Dropbox clearly has a huge lead over Cloud Drive.
Amazon offers 5GB of Cloud Drive storage for free, with additional storage available at roughly $.50/GB, which is down from the $1/GB price back when Cloud Drive first launched. That's on par with SkyDrive's pricing and roughly half the price of Dropbox. In this case though — at least right now — you get what you pay for. Amazon has the makings of a Dropbox competitor but it still has a lot of catching up to do.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Topic: Experiences with Marinol for nausea and appetite?
Hi all,
I've been trying to get my appetite up as I have started chemo treatment with Gemzar and Xeloda. My doctor offered me a prescription to Marinol with the caveat that it works for some folks and not for others. From my attempts so far (with the smallest 2.5mg dosage), I've found it to be a bad experience (crazy mind trips a few hours after dosage) and that the expected benefits of appetite, etc haven't seemed to materialize. Growing up in the "just say no" time period means that I don't have personal experiences growing up with smoking so I don't know what to compare this with vis-a-vis the real munchies, etc that everyone talks about.
Wondering if anyone else has had experiences with Marinol or suggestions that might help me to get this to work for my body? Also, any comparisons with medical marijuana (rather than Marinol with is purely synthetic THC as I understand)? I realize this is a heated topic as some folks have strong legal or religious based views on this topic -- so please keep the advice to medical rather than legal if possible.

Feast your eyes upon a bounty of diamonds and sapphires set in a rapturous mount of peerless platinum. The main course is a round brilliant old European cut diamond of 1 carat (H color; VS1 clarity) centered and simply claw set. At the cardinal points a mix of eight (8) natural and synthetic sapphires add a blast of color with ten (10) more of these beautiful blue gems channel set along the sides.
Covering the platinum setting is even more shine and glitter with sixteen (16) single cut diamonds – six (6) on each shoulder and four (4) more at each corner – for an additional estimated diamond weight of .16 carats. Fine azuring, mille grain accents and attention to detail make for a superb gem encrusted ring.
The ring is accompanied by a GIA certificate for the center stone which was removed for evaluation.

Seriously. Apple's patents should be an industry standard, much like nVidia's.
Apple vs. Samsung
Samsung vs Apple
What people are failing to see is what this website is entirely about. "Mod-My-I". Samsung just modded their "I" with a permanent Jailbreak. LOL
I dont want this to end. Its pure entertainment. I just wish they make a series of this abd put it on television. But when it does end i want apple to be victorious. Samsung purposly copied and infrienged on apples patents. Even if the patents are ridiculous they still own them.
This is true and beside that, it's like whoever win, wins the lottery.
Even if they don't settle this, both of them are gaining so much free attention from the media ...= free advertising pretty much.
What they really need to do is stop competing but start collaborating again, just as it used to be...
Apple need to grow up and start sharing before more things start biting them in the butt.
I hope it ends in Samsungs favor. That'll show Apple to shut up and play nice.
Allow me to convert this headline into 2012 readability standards for the Internet challenged readers out there:
Apple Accused of Infringing Three of Samsung's Patent's
I'm so not used to seeing any word that ends in an S on the Internet without a freaking apostrophe in front of it. Whether grammatically correct or not. :P
I'm all in all for Apple, but if there is anything Apple infringed on when it comes to patented technology that they did not license on, I expect for them to be held responsible as well.
But THIS just expressed that the technology Apple was accused of wasn't present at the time frame in which this trial is based on now THAT is a laugh and a half. You come back with accusing something that didn't exist during that time after Apple just raped you about a 132 page novel on how to copy the iPhone pixel by pixel? Lets be serious.
"The cross-examination ended with Lee asking Yang how Apple could of possibly copied the features if they weren't even present on Samsung's devices at the time of the iPhone's release."
hahaha so in order for someone to violate a patent it has to be present on a device? Also Apple, since the birth of mobile phones, have you ever seen a phone with sharp corners?
This trial is all about the cloning that shamesung adopted as it's model of business, which in fact does not bring any innovation to the market and so hurts consumers interest in the long run!
Just remember that, if Apple had just cloned anyonelse's design when it decided to went to smartphone's market, we wold be all stuked with hardware keyboards right now and the touchscreen revolution would never happen!

Skin Allergies Can Flare Up in Summer Heat
Latest Allergies News
SATURDAY, Aug. 17 (HealthDay News) -- Summer can be a particularly bad time for skin allergies such as eczema and hives, as well as reactions to poison ivy, oak and sumac, an expert says.
This summer, high rainfall, humidity and temperatures combined with increased levels of carbon dioxide in the air have resulted in an "exceedingly potent" growth of poison ivy-related plants, said Dr. Leonard Bielory, an allergy specialist with the Rutgers Center of Environmental Prediction and an attending physician at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, N.J.
"When picnicking or hiking though our parks this summer, beware of certain plants, especially some trees," he said in a hospital news release. "Many trees have leaves that are actually part of the (allergenic plant) vines that have embraced them."
Some of these allergenic plant vines are extremely large and clearly noticeable, said Bielory, recalling the saying that helps people avoid these troublesome plants: "Leaves of three, let them be."
Bielory added: "Some individuals are sensitive to the point that their conditions can flare up when in contact with grass or other plants. For protection, wear long pants and long sleeves if outdoor plants cause a reaction."
He also offered tips to prevent eczema and hives or at least reduce their symptoms:

Superlatives with Fifth Harmony
Listen to Fifth Harmony Radio on iHeartRadio
Fifth Harmony has come a long way since "The X-Factor." In only a few years, Lauren, Ally, Camila, Dinah, and Normani have captured the hearts of their #Harmonizers all over the world - and the girls are most definitely here to stay. After all, they are better together.
With their Better Together EP, and tons of time on tour under their belts, the girls recently opened for Demi Lovato on her North American "Neon Lights Tour." Now, the ladies are "Miss Movin' On" to their brand new single "BO$$," which debuted on Saturday Night Online Live over the weekend.
"BO$$" is the first single off the girls' upcoming debut album, and if this is any indication of what's to come ... we can't wait to hear more!
The ladies are also using their new BO$$ attitude in a new campaign. According to "Real Girls, Real Pressure: A National Report on the State of Self-Esteem," seven in ten girls believe they are not good enough or do not measure up in some way, including their looks, performance in school and relationships with friends and family members. Owning and sharing personal traits and skills is proven to improve self worth and boost confidence, which is why DoSomething.org and Fifth Harmony have joined forces for the #ImABoss campaign to encourage fans to help their friends find out what they're the boss of.
Fifth Harmony stopped by iHeartRadio Headquarters in NYC recently, where they let us in on who's who in the band by divulging their collective picks in categories like Most Boy Crazy, Class Clown, Most Likely To End Up In Jail, and more. Check out Superlatives with Fifth Harmony below!
"[Ally] she's super talkative, she likes to talk a lot. "It could come across that she's flirting but she's actually just being super nice."
"Lauren can flirt when she wants to, but she doesn't do it with everybody. It's just her eyes that make it seem like she's so flirtatious."
"She's more of like, just brave and strong and rebellious. Rebellious is the right word."
"She was my wing woman when I went to prom," Normani recalls. "She's the bomb. She really is. She knows when to leave the two of you alone. She knows when it's like, 'OK, it's a little awkward I need to go disappear.'''
"She's definitely the most stylish. And she's very interested in it. [Out of] all of us, she's the most interested in fashion, and she has Pinterest and stuff. Definitely a fashionista."
Normani tells us that her favorite designers include Kira Platinina and Betsy Johnson. She says of Plastinina, "She started her own design company when she was like 15."
"I did gymnastics [and] dance. And gymnastics, I did competitions and stuff, I was on the competitive team," Normani tells us.
The girls say of Normani's athletic skills, "She can do a back-walkover, on stage, with heels!"
Normani continues, "With my skirt, and I was like, 'Guys, don't look!'"
DRAMA QUEEN: NORMANI (unanimous)
Normani's thoughts on this unanimous decision? She tells us, "I was going to choose myself. I think I actually wrote myself, right?"
"It never gets boring, she's like, 'Guys, come on. Let's dance!' Even if you don't like the music, she'll keep playing. She'd play it louder!"
Dinah does not deny her title of "Life of the Party." In fact, she says, "I'd play it louder just for them ... I have to see them move. If I don't see you move, I'm going to keep playing it."
What makes Camila so dependable? Her 5H counterparts say, "She's just there for you when you need to talk about stuff. She is literally the person who you can vent to. To comfort ... she's really good at comforting people."
"Like we always say, 'she can talk to a tree.' She really can talk to a tree for hours."
Camila agrees, demonstrating what exactly a conversation between Ally and a tree would be like. "She can have the best conversation with a tree. 'How are you, little shrubs? Are you growing your roots? Tell me about it!'"
But the girls don't mind. They tell us, "I feel that's what we need, though. Cause none of us would do it, like she does."
Ally says of her "Most Talkative" title, "I love talking to people and I just love getting to know them and their stories." In fact, romance is one of the subjects she likes talking about the most. "If there is a couple, I will interrogate them with questions about, 'how did you all meet?' And, 'Oh my gosh, when did it all happen? When did you know ... do you think you're going to get married?'"
According to the girls, Dinah is quite the prankster. "Girl, you pull pranks like it's like her job."
In fact, Lauren told us all about one of the best pranks Dinah has ever pulled. She says, "Dinah was going through this phase of 'smack-cam.' The day before we went to the studio, she smack-cam'd me and I was very upset with her. The next day we were at the studio and I was like 'Oh, I'm going to get back at her', and there was this little spritzer bottle in the fridge. Like when you spray a cat or plants. So, I was like, 'Oh my god, this is amazing, I'm going to spritz her.' So I did that and it was probably the worst decision I've ever made in my life cause she decided to come back like ten times harder! She grabbed beans and she chased me around the studio for 20 minutes until she smack-cam'd me with the beans. She had beans all over my face, all on everything. So while I'm on my way to the bathroom to wash it all off, freaking Lady Gaga walks towards the bathroom, she sees me, and she's like and she turned the other way. I was like and she was like . If you think about it, Lady Gaga wore a meat dress, she probably thought like I was a crazy fan or something. It was awful. I was so embarrassed cause I love her."
"She always pushes us. Usually when we're like doing a cover or something, she's like, 'We can do this, this that, that that.' And we're like, 'That's not really attainable right now.' She at least suggests it. She overachieves and there's nothing wrong with that."
Well since her 5H ladies thinks she's so boy crazy, we asked Ally who her celeb crushes are. She tells us, "I think Macklemore is very attractive. I say, Justin Timberlake as my celebrity crush because I admire him."
MOST CLUMSY: CAMILA (unanimous)
The girls unanimously voted Camila as most clumsy. They tell us, "That is no secret. She falls all the time. And she trips on things."
Apparently it really isn't a secret because Camila agreed! She says, "I have trouble on my feet."
She also illustrated her clumsiness with a story. "I fell out of the car once, and for some reason, they got like an aerial picture of me. It was a beautifully photographed thing but it was like me and fans, and then somebody grabbing up to hold me and I was like . And then I think I tripped once on the 'Today Show.' And then just like every ten minutes."

With 'The CSS3 Anthology' example, I was hoping to be able to style rows in a table using the Selectivizr method as mentioned so the rows will be colored in IE7 & 8, since 'nth-child()' is not supported by these browsers.
Following the instructions, (page 277), I receive an error from IE7 & IE8:"Line 5Char 2109Error: Object doesn't support this property or methodCode: 0URL: blah, bla, blah:
Here's the code that loads in my header:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<script type="text/javascript" src="/media/system/js/selectivizr-min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
I must say that this isn't the only time I've attempted to use a tool published within the book. I've tried using PIE.htc for border-radius and it didn't work as well.
What would be causing Selectivizr not to work with IE7 & 8?
Isn't this more of a Javascript question? ANd the error is telling you to check line 5. You don't even have 5 lines posted in taht code of yours :).
I will say though, that you have an XML declaration above the doctype which causes IE to behave old school. Like 1999 old school :)..
Thank you, Ryan:
If the DOCTYPE is the case, then what should I go with? I'm using Transitional at the moment, and I've tried changing it, to no avail.
If I'm in the wrong department, which I didn't think I was, how shall I bump it to the JS forum?
I had the same as you buddy, sadly I have never found the reason why the error occurs as i spent a good 3-4 hours Googling it but i did find a script that seemed to fix it.
The doctype isn't the problem. Though you shouldn't use transitional.
The problem is that you have the XML declaration above the doctype and that throws IE into quirks mdoe.
Though this is completely unrelated to your curent problem. I asked for a thread move so the thread currently is in the JS forum :).
Thank you, Ryan!
Thanks, chris.upjohn, I'll check this out!
Do you have a link to the page in question as it will be easier to debug if we can see where the actual error is pointing to. IE often throws an error if there's things like an extra comma in the js.
If you are viewing the page locally you will get an access denied for IE due to its security restrictions.
You're welcome to see: http://aaarms.com/inventory.html
I have yet to try chris,upjohn's suggestion, so I was hoping to get this one figured out first.
It seems like any fallback methods I have tried within 'The CSS3 Anthology' book has been a dud. I would hope to contact the author to share my challenge, but posting on a forum would probably be the better route at this time.
It seems that the fix worked for IE8, but not for IE7. It would be nice to be able to get IE7 to cooperate, but maybe it's running in 'quirks'?
The problem in Ie7 is that you have used a reset that sets the background of everything to transparent. When you do that to td tags then IE7 also makes the tr transparent. That's why you should be very careful what you put in your reset and why they are often more trouble than they are worth.
div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre, a, abbr, acronym, address, big, city, code, del, dfn, em, font, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp, small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var, b, u, i, center, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, fieldset, form, label, legend, table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td { margin: 0px; padding: 0px;
font-size: 100%;
vertical-align: baseline;
border: 0px;
outline: 0px;
[B]/*background: transparent;*/[/B]
Here it is working in IE7.
Thank you for the extra time you put into this AND for the tip, Paul O'B, and I do see by your example that it does work, but mine still isn't. I'm assuming it's because the .js script is running before jquery is loaded, but I'm struggling to change that within a Joomla template.
That would seem to be the likely problem as the jquery script is last in sequence and should be first. I don't know anything abut Joomla though so I'm not much use with that I'm afraid. At least you know it will work if everything is in the right place.

This article describes how to get the mplayer
media player program to work with the
dmix plugin.
Yes, you need to use
SDL to
get sound output when using
mplayer and
plug:dmix (see the page
dmix for info on software
of multiple PCM streams). The reason is that the
mplayer 1.0pre3 alsa9 doesn't handle ALSA devices properly by
design according to a message on the mailinglist.
To use SDL, set up the SDL audio handlers like this if you use the
bash shell:
export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa
export AUDIODEV=plug:dmix
Now use the
mplayer SDL audio output:
mplayer -ao sdl
Isn't there an alsa1x driver already? Does it handle the ALSA devices better?
I tried mplayer cvs at Thu Mar 25 00:18:21 CET 2004 mplayer now has the alsa1x ao, works beautifully with dmix indeed!
I have a new mplayer, and it still doesn't work?
mplayer with it
Note:You can also use
mplayer without
plug:dmix but then you would not be able to do software mixing of multiple PCM streams.

Welcome to the team, username Kadenza.
I'm sure a proper introduction will be coming soon.
You just got reviewed by one of the new reviewers. Yep. No more hints
The management will be making official announcement shortly, I'm certain.
Wow, cool
Yep, i already was reviewed by kadenza!
She?/he? seems to do a really excellent job: Kadenza rejected my brand new Valentine song, because of the following reason:
"Dear Mat! Your song is great! However, to improve on general commercial viability the sound "V" at the beginning of the word Valentine needs to sound as such. Unfortunately, in your recording it always sounds more like a "W". If you could fix it, the track will be perfect."....
(Swiss guys trying to sing in english, hahaha… )
I was so glad that Kadenza rejected my song and gave me that great advice to make it perfect, thanks a lot! I really appreciate that!
Bad times for poor quality on Audiojungle! That's cool!
P.S.: I sang my Valentine's Day song again and finally it was approved yesterday
Mat, did you start to sing? I sure will listen to it
Hi Alex
Not really, imagine this: The very first item I submitted to aj was with vocals too
But it's long ago (not in terms of time, but in number of items, hahaha… )
That's cool. May be I should try it too, 'cause I already know how to pronounce "V"!
I'm listening to aforementioned song right now. Sounds funny Do you write the texts by yourself?
Though it's a piece of offtopic from me, as usual
OK, new reviewers. Good!
permian saidhaha, thank you Alex
I'm listening to aforementioned song right now. Sounds funny Do you write the texts by yourself?
Though it's a piece of offtopic from me, as usual
OK, new reviewers. Good!
Yep, i wrote the lyrics with my wife together A true Valentine's feeling
Hey Mat, I think it's great they took the time to let you know why it was rejected. The problem was identified, you fixed it and now everyone is a winner. I really hope all reviewers can do this for items that aren't complete "train wrecks".
And congrats to the new reviewer. Looking forward to a proper pummeling by Kadenza.

Stress affects women in so many ways – one of the greatest reasons women come to see me is because they aren't sleeping – most of the time it's related to stress. Fuzzy thinking, fatigue, insomnia can have profound effects on the way women navigate through their day – and we all know that today more than ever before women have more responsibility and less down time!
Many women struggle with feelings of inadequacy – they don't understand why they aren't able to juggle everything in their lives effortlessly. When we really think about it, we can see that a cycle of stress/less sleep/more stress/ is playing out! No wonder we feel like we can't keep up!
It's a very personal journey to learn how to break this cycle. Every woman experiences stress differently, and every woman will have her own set of solutions to help cope with the stressors in her life. Women to Women always recommends looking at diet, lifestyle and nutritional supplements to help restore balance to a body which is being taxed in so many different ways.
In my experience, the anti-depressants and sleeping pills aren't really the answers for women. Getting to the root cause of your stressors will help break the cycle being established – it takes more time than taking a pill – but the end result is worth it!

This device clips unobtrusively to a belt and repels mosquitoes within a 7 1/2' radius for up to 120 hours. Eliminating the need to apply chemical-based sprays, the device automatically emits the subtle floral scent of geraniol, a plant-derived essential oil that naturally repels mosquitoes, ticks, and no see-ums. Laboratory tests performed by a University of Florida entomologist proved geraniol to be more effective than DEET—the chemical in most bug repellents—at warding off biting insects. The mosquito repeller has a silent fan that continuously circulates the geraniol around you. About the size of a smartphone, the mosquito repeller won't impede daily movements. Includes two geraniol cartridges. Requires two AA batteries. 3" H x 3 1/4" W x 2 1/2" D. (5 1/2 oz.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Personal Mosquito Repeller comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.

Good, but not as much as bug spray
By Andie
from Ottawa, Canada
My husband is a bug magnet and has strong welt reactions to bug bites. We doesn't want to "spray down" with bug spray daily, so we got this. It actually helps when you stay in one general area, but doesn't stop bugs as effectively as bug spray. Doesn't do anything at all for walking/hiking (i.e. moving). That said, since he's sick of bug spray and can't wear mosquito netting all day, this has been a great option to help with the problem.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Well, it smells nice...
By Dennis
from Sherman Oaks, CA
Ok. I'm a CA guy. I bought these for a trip to the coastal area of CT and RI. It's mosquito season there. I am uncertain as to it's effectiveness. Forget it for kids running around. No good. I used it when napping outside on a seaside porch. I did get bitten. BUT, would I have suffered many more bites without it? I don't know. Maybe the few that got me were simply little whiners who couldn't smell. I do think it helped when we sat around having an adult beverage in a protected space (i.e. no wind). I'll need more trials to form a solid opinion.

It Works
By azpug
from Phoenix, AZ
We turn this on when we go outside, and the mosquitos stay away! The smell is quite strong so I have to point it away from me, but it's effective. It's not a bad smell - just strong

This Really Works
By TinPar In the Garden
from Wainwright, Alberta, Canada
This product actually does keep the mosquitoes at bay. I really dislike using spray as I always feel like I need to shower after to get rid of the "sticky" feeling. With this just remove & voila done. The only issue I have with it is when bending over a lot in the garden it does have a tendency to fall off. It runs off 2 AA batteries, but I have been using this item for several years now & I usually get a full season from one set of batteries with no problem! I love this product!

Helps but Not A Total Solution
By BobH
from Orangeburg, SC
My wife used this repeller four times and found that it was helpful perhaps, although she was bitten a number of instances by South Carolina 'no-see-ums'. She has concluded that it was not as effective as needed.

I wouldn't bother, sorry
By Bug bite
from Vashon, WA
I am like a bug and insect magnet....so I was hoping this would really work, had set out two on my chair and just watched the bugs go right by it and land on me. Too bad since it was organic I was hoping it would work....going to return

It actually works!
By Carole
from Atlanta, GA
We went to Cumberland Island (off the Ga/Fla. coast) where the no-see-ums (gnats), ticks and mosquitoes are omni-present and voracious; my husband and I both wore these devices on our long walks through the woods, dunes and on the beach and I am delighted to report neither of us were bitten! This is a product that performs as advertised. Was easy to assemble and use too.

Dengue prevention
By T.A.
from Seattle
I visit the Philippines and dengue is a problem in some areas. This device is easy to carry around and can be turned off and on as needed. The only thing that is not great with the bundle is the charging adapter is not included.

Good but not great
By Colin
from Williamsburg VA
The belt clip is insecure & can come loose if one bends down.The cartridge does not firmly attatch.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: To make sure the cartridge is firmly in place, please place the cartridge on the mounting slots and then slide right to lock it into place. Please also make sure that the "lock" is on the bottom

Battle of Arras 12
The Film
Running Time
01 min 06 s
British Topical Committee for War Films
British forces, chiefly 7th and 29th Divisions, on the first day of the Somme offensive, Western Front, 1 July 1916. The film shows column of German prisoners walking to be deported by train. The second half of the film presents a map of the Battle of Somme and the German retreat of the Hindenburg Line.
The classic First World War film in every sense, widely used for stockshots even today. The only British official film to have a major impact on the perception of the war, both at the time and in historical terms. Also the only official film of the war with a claim to be regarded as great art in its own right. The unprecedented and unexpected public success of this film established cinema as a remainder of the war.
Pieces of History
German Prisoners of War
Jonathan F. Vance
Professor and Canada Research Chair in Conflict and Culture, Department of History, University of Western Ontario
The emotion of fear probably came first since the moment of capture was the most dangerous time for a prisoner. It was a reality of the First World War that the protection given to prisoners under the 1907 Hague Convention was not always observed in the front lines. Throwing aside one's rifle and yelling "Kamarad" was no guarantee that the plea for mercy would be heeded, particularly if the approaching soldier had seen his unit decimated by enemy fire. By the same token, a platoon that was weakened by casualties and struggling to hold a hard-won position sometimes could not spare a couple of infantrymen to escort prisoners to the rear areas. In such cases, soldiers implicitly understood that the safest option for their unit was to shoot the prisoners and keep it to themselves.
And then there were the rumours that circulated through both sides of no man's land about a particular battalion that never took prisoners, or about captives who were killed rather than being sent to the safety of a prison camp. A soldier who had been fired up by such stories might well wave aside his enemy's pleas and pull the trigger instead. The faces you see in these films, then, represent the lucky ones, the soldiers who actually survived to become prisoners.
We should also be aware that there did exist a degree of sympathy between soldiers. Atrocities were committed on both sides, but often the sight of a cowering enemy soldier elicited a feeling of pity in the attacking soldier. This is not the demonic Hun depicted by the propagandists, he might think; this is a man like me, with a family, perhaps a wife and children. We are both caught in a war that is not our doing; I will treat him as I hope he would treat me, with kindness and consideration.
The exhausted Canadian sharing coffee and hardtack with a captured German became a stock propaganda image, as a way to demonstrate the kindness of our Canadian boys overseas. But just because they were propagandized does not mean such situations did not take place. On the contrary, many a soldier would share with his prisoner a water bottle, a packet of rations or a cigarette, because the fact that he was a fellow soldier was now more important than the fact that he was an enemy. There is genuine good humour in the image of the captor clowning with the captive by putting on his cap and pulling a face.
Once the new prisoner made it through the moment of capture and reached relative safety, his experiences in captivity became more typical. The First World War was a very labour-intensive conflict. It was the first truly mechanized war, but much of the heavy work was still done the old-fashioned way – by tens of thousands of men digging, carrying, lifting and moving. Neither side had any scruples about using prisoners as forced labour in or directly behind the front lines. We know that German units used their POWs to dig trenches, move ammunition and carry supplies – all tasks forbidden under international law – and Canadians may well have done the same. But such scenes would never have made it onto film. Instead, a much more common image is of German soldiers acting as stretcher bearers, bringing the wounded, Canadian and German alike, to safety. For the captors, this had the advantage of freeing up infantrymen who had been temporarily co-opted as stretcher bearers – every German prisoner who could carry a stretcher meant that one Canadian could go back to the firing line. But it also had value for the prisoners themselves. Many contemporary accounts tell of new prisoners who were almost pathetically keen to prove themselves useful by helping with the wounded. Carrying a stretcher, after all, was much better than being shot.
Prisoners were also a valuable source of information. They were searched for maps, papers or anything else that could have intelligence value (or even monetary value – Canadian soldiers were known as tireless souvenir hunters, and quickly stripped any item that could be sold to non-combatant troops in the rear areas. Rifles, canteens and other military equipment were confiscated and sent to salvage dumps. Then, German-speaking officers questioned the men about their unit and the defences on their side of the line. Probably, few POWs were as helpful as some of those who were filmed (including the one who is evidently hard of hearing, likely from artillery bombardment), but the evidence suggests that prisoners were actually forthcoming with information about what was going on in their own trenches.
Finally, the symbolic significance of prisoners should not be underestimated. It was important to depict German prisoners on film because they were very visible signs of success on the battlefield. In the bloodbaths of 1916 and 1917, when success was measured in yards of pulverized earth, scenes of a few bedraggled German soldiers proved that something concrete had been achieved. The Battle of the Somme, for example, was a notorious example of horrific casualties sustained for very little territorial gain, but footage of prisoners being marched away from the battlefield in this clip at least proved that there were a few enemy infantrymen who would never again fire on Canadian soldiers.
In the open campaigns that began in the summer of 1918, prisoners became even more dramatic evidence of success. Now, it was possible to show to Canadians images of long lines of Germans soldiers captured in battle as the Canadian Expeditionary Force swept across northern France. Scenes of POWs being marched away from the battle for Bourlon Wood in 1918, often combined with pictures of rows of captured artillery pieces, confirmed to people at home that the tide had finally turned. The Allies had the Germans on the run, and such images seemed to prove that they were just as happy to surrender as fight.
Statistics on German POWs captured by Canadian troops are far from complete. We know that over 4000 were captured at Vimy Ridge in April 1917; over 5000 on August 8, 1918, the first day of the Battle of Amiens; and roughly 6000 in the three-day battle for the Drocourt-Quéant line in September 1918. But these are only three of dozens of engagements fought by the Canadian divisions, and the total number of prisoners taken may never be known. In any case, the cold statistics tell us less about the experience of captivity than these moving images. The men we see remain nameless, but their faces speak volumes about the impact of war on the individual.

The Withdrawal to the Hindenburg Line
none the less hard-fought engagements preparatory to larger operations, pushed the
enemy five miles up the Ancre valley on a four-mile front; and on the night of 22-23
February the Germans fell back three more miles across a front of fifteen miles. The
inability of his forces to withstand British pressure in their present positions strengthened Crown Prince Rupprecht's argument for a general retirement to the Hindenburg Line at an early date. On 30 January Ludendorff agreed, not only because the consequent shortening of the front would release thirteen divisions and many artillery units for the projected offensive in Italy, but also because a general retirement could be expected to upset French and British campaign plans. It was in the German interest to delay as long as possible any struggle on the Western Front, in order to allow time for results from the campaign of unrestricted warfare by submarine and cruiser which had begun on 1 February. The deciding factor, however, appears to have been the need for time to replenish supplies of guns and shells, deliveries of which had fallen far short of von Hindenburg's orders and expectations.
On 4 February the High Command issued an order over the Kaiser's signature for a
withdrawal of the Seventh Army's right wing, the Second and First Armies, and the left wing of the Sixth Army to the Hindenburg Line between 15 and 18 March. This operation was aptly code-named "Alberich", after the malicious dwarf of the Nibelungen saga,28 for it called for the devastation of the whole area to be abandoned - nearly 100 miles of front between Soissons and Arras, averaging almost 20 miles in depth. Under this "scorched earth" policy all military installations and useful war material were removed from the existing forward zone, townspeople and villagers were evacuated and their communities razed, livestock were carried away or destroyed, and all wells were either filled in or polluted. To delay an Allied advance the retreating Germans felled trees across the roads, blew large craters at main intersections, and everywhere beset the pursuers' path with ingeniously laid booby-traps. Well organized rearguards covered the German withdrawal, though these received orders not to counter- attack. The skill of the Germans in concealing their plans from the Allies and the success of their delaying tactics helped prevent any effective follow-up. By the morning of 19 March, 29 divisions had completed the withdrawal with a minimum of Allied interference.29 Four Allied armies found themselves out of contact - from north to south, the right wing of the British Third Army about Arras, the Fifth and Fourth Armies to across the Somme valley, and the left wing of the French between Roye and the Aisne. It took until 5 April to drive in the German outposts and establish a new Allied line in front of the Hindenburg Position.*
The enemy's retirement did not greatly affect the plan of Nivelle's main offensive,
which was to be made east of Soissons. But it seriously upset the preliminary offensive in the north, for the Germans in the salient which converging British and French thrusts were to have pinched out had now escaped containment. Time was lacking in which to build new communications across the devastated area, particularly on the French left, where the retreat had been farthest. Accordingly, the northern attack became an all-British operation, the principal aim of which was to outflank the Hindenburg Line from the north and advance towards Cambrai. General Nivelle was forcibly told by Painlevé and Pétain and other high French officers that his scheme was no longer practicable. Army group commanders opposed the plan as a reversion to the discredited pre-war and 1914 overemphasis on offensive action for its own sake. There were also strategic and political objections. Neither the Russians nor the Italians would be able to mount offensives in time to render assistance; and the prospect of America's early entry into the war seemed another good reason for postponing a major French offensive. At one point Nivelle offered his resignation; but this being refused, he continued with his preparations. After various delays the assault on the Aisne was ordered to open on 16 April, the British offensive a week earlier.
* Taking part in the Fourth Army's advance was the Canadian Cavalry Brigade. On 27 March, Lieut. F.M.W. Harvey, Lord Strathcona's Horse, ran into a wired trench and captured a machine-gun, for which daring act he was awarded the V.C.

Canadians at the Somme
It was General Sir Douglas Haig's wish that the Canadians should have a chance to settle in before taking part in an offensive. A G.H.Q. directive on August 19 had announced the Commander-in-Chief's intention to deliver a strong attack about the middle of September using "fresh forces and all available resources". This was the role to which the Canadian Corps had been summoned. While the 2nd and 3rd Canadian Divisions prepared for the battle, the 1st Division held the whole of the Corps front - three thousand yards of battered trenches running westward along the Pozičres ridge from the boundary with the Fourth Army (just east of Pozičres) to a point 700 yards west of Mouquet Farm, a stronghold in the German Second Position based on a nest of deep dug-outs which six bitter Australian assaults had failed to capture. As we shall see, the Division's tour of duty was not as uneventful as Sir Douglas Haig had intended it should be.
The Australians' final attempt to capture Mouquet Farm was made on September 3 by their 13th Brigade, which had the 13th Battalion, of the relieving 3rd Canadian Brigade, temporarily under command. The attack, while failing to secure the farm, gained 300 yards of Fabeck Graben, a German trench running north-eastward towards Courcelette. In attempting to extend this holding two companies of the Canadian battalion suffered 322 casualties. The relief of the Australians was completed on the morning of the 5th, and for three more days the 3rd Canadian Brigade continued to hold under heavy fire and frequent counter- attack more than two thousand yards of line, including the captured portion of Fabeck Graben. The brigade's 970 casualties in this period gave it good reason to remember its first tour of duty at the Somme. Early on September 8, during a relief by the 2nd Brigade, the Germans regained the now almost obliterated section of Fabeck Graben.
Next day the Canadians slightly improved their positions, when the 2nd Canadian Battalion captured a portion of a German trench about 500 yards long south of the Cambrai road. In gaining and retaining its objective (and thereby earning the congratulations of the Commander-in-Chief) the battalion owed much to the valour of one of its junior N.C.Os.-Corporal Leo Clarke. While clearing a continuation of the newly-captured trench during the construction of a permanent block on the battalion flank, most of the members of his small bombing party were killed or wounded and their supply of grenades was exhausted. Clarke was building a temporary barricade when an enemy party of twenty, led by two officers, counter-attacked down the trench. Coolly the corporal fought them off. Twice he emptied into the Germans his own revolver, and then two abandoned enemy rifles. He shot and killed an officer who had bayoneted him in the legs and he is credited with having killed or wounded at least sixteen enemy before the rest turned in flight. Then he shot down four more of the fleeing Germans, and captured a fifth - the sole enemy survivor. His courageous action brought Corporal Clarke the first of two Victoria Crosses to be won by his battalion. He was killed five weeks later, before the award was announced.

By Barbara Quinn The Monterey County Herald
Back in the day, I remember my mom marvel at the fact that my grandmother — almost 90 at the time — still had all her own teeth.
Times have changed … somewhat. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one of every four adults older than 65 has no natural teeth. That makes it a drag to eat corn-on-the-cob on the Fourth of July.
Why is nutrition important for our teeth? Because nutrients maintain strong teeth and strong teeth maintain our ability to get nutrients. Here's the latest on this topic from a recent position paper by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics:
Bacteria that live in our mouth love sugar. When they feed on "fermentable carbohydrates," they produce acids that destroy the protective mineral coating of tooth enamel. And they produce enzymes that attack proteins in the teeth.
Result: weak, decayed teeth. Yuck.
So what are "fermentable carbs" that pump up mouth bacteria? Beverages sweetened with sugar including pop, fruit drinks, energy drinks and sweet tea.
By the way — and not that I would be interested — but that dreamy-looking Venti (20-ounce) Iced Caramel Macchiato espresso drink at our local Starbucks has the potential to bathe my teeth in 9 teaspoons of sugar.
Other fermentable carbs include any sticky sweet foods such as raisins and dried fruit, honey and molasses. And let's not forget the candies, cookies and cakes that we savor while our mouth bacteria destroy our teeth.
Here's the good news: Some foods and food ingredients can actually protect our teeth from decay. Chew on these:
Sugar-free chewing gum: Chewing stimulates saliva that bathes teeth with antibacterial agents that neutralize bad acids in your mouth. And the sweeteners used in sugar-free candies and mints-such as xylitol and mannitol-do not feed mouth bacteria.
Fresh fruits and vegetables: Vitamin C in these foods is used to make collagen — a vital protein for healthy gums — the better to support your teeth. And chewing these fibrous foods keep gums healthy and produces protective saliva.
Protein foods such as meat, eggs, cheese, fish, beans and legumes strengthen teeth and gums. Proteins also arm saliva with its antibacterial properties.
Whole-grain, low-sugar breads and cereals provide a host of nutrients that enhance our immune response to fight off pesky bacteria.
And excuse me for bringing up a controversial nutrition topic, but good evidence has shown that dental cavities can be prevented when teeth are exposed to fluoride in water, food or toothpaste.
So here's the formula to grow up with all your teeth like my grandmother: Chew, chew, chew your food to stimulate saliva. Don't let sugar hang out too often with the bacteria in your mouth. And yes dear, you must brush your teeth after you eat … with a fluoride-containing toothpaste.
If you can't brush right away, chew a piece of sugar-free gum.
That oughta keep those teeth in their place.
