Following dental implant surgery, patients must take detailed care of the area surrounding their new implant. For the first month the dental implant is still integrating with the bone and tissues so the patient's care routine will be slightly more involved during this initial period. Above all, do not disturb the wound in the initial days that follow surgery. Avoid rinsing, spitting, and touching the mouth for 24 hours after surgery to avoid contaminating or irritating the surgical site. After dental implant surgery it's important to follow these care instructions:
What does recovery involve?
While each patient's case is different, recovery after dental implant surgery happens in a series of phases. With your new dental implants, maintaining proper oral hygiene should be your primary focus. In order for the implant to properly fuse with the jawbone, it must remain clean. Also keep in mind that when properly cared for, a dental implant can serve its owner for life.
When maintaining proper hygiene, oral discomfort should gradually lessen. Swelling, bruising, and minor bleeding may still occur. If any pain does continue, feel free to continue using the pain medications.
Healing time differs depending on whether a patient receives immediate crown placement, or waits for the implant to fuse with the jawbone. Your recovery timeframe will depend on your individual case and treatment plan; follow-up appointments will be scheduled accordingly.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office.
Friendly staff! Very welcoming and always on top of things. Been coming here for a while and I'm a very happy customer. I'll definitely recommend this office to anyone looking for a very hygiene place with a knowledgeable staff

Stanley Lepar's miraculous reunion story.
Today Yayasan MAF Indonesia (MAF) has been busy flying three tons of rice, two full medical teams and medicine to the village of Lindu, 20 minutes south of Palu. This area had been particularly hard hit by the earthquake.
In order to expedite the unloading of the rice we sent one of our MAF Papua staff, Stanley Lepar, to stay and unload every time the helicopter arrived with a load. The other Papua staff stayed here in the hanger in Palu to refuel and load while the pilot remained in the helicopter. Stanley is scheduled to leave today after being in Palu for 10 days helping with the team from Papua. He asked me if he could volunteer to go on today's flight before his flight home to Sentani.
Stanley's wife is from the Lindu area. His mother-in-law and extended family members were in the village and had not been heard from since the earthquake.
When Stanley stepped out the helicopter and helped unload the rice bags, he was queried by the people of the village for his name and family history. Everyone was very emotional to find that Stanley had been brought directly to the village, (Lindu-Kanaan), where his mother-in-law, her sister and brother, as well as the grandmother of his wife, Berta were located. It turned out they had not been able to communicate due to poor connectivity of the cell towers damaged in the earthquake.
When the flight to deliver supplies was requested by the Samaritan's Purse Indonesian team, they were not sure exactly which village to go too. We looked at maps and found Lindu-Kanaan and decided that would be the best place to deliver the rice. Stanley's family kept exclaiming what a miracle it was, and had an incredible emotional time catching up as a family for the next two hours before Stanley had to leave on the last helicopter supply flight that day.
In Stanley's own words: "this is the best day – I was not even hoping to hear from them or see them and somehow, I got to go directly to them. I am so blessed and thankful to God for this amazing opportunity!"
When Stanley arrived back in Palu he had a beaming smile from ear to ear and was talking wildly in Indonesian. I don't speak Indonesian but I could tell something wonderful had happened. To hear the story brought tears and great joy to the team here in Palu. We are glad to be here reaching out to those who need help.
Thank you for your prayers and support, it is making a difference here in Sulawesi.

Update from Ifremer bulletin dated 27/07/17:
The average cumulative mortality rate for seed oysters in France is 62.7% on a national level with high regional fluctuation. This is 2 points higher than the previous month (see previous) and also 2 points higher than the same bulletin last year : The 27/07/2016 bulletin recorded 60.5% as the national cumulative average.
Juvenile and adult oysters are reported as having much lower mortality rates (4.2% and 3.5% respectively) although higher than the previous bulletin (see previous). However this remains inferior than juvenile mortality rates for the same period in 2016 but above adult levels (6.5% for juvenile oysters and 2.8% for adult oysters on 27/07/2016 bulletin).
Overall therefore according to the Ifremer monitoring programme up to end of July, mortalities for both 2016 and 2017 show approximately similar rates.

Review From Lady and the Blog
December 12, 2012
Check out this great review of Barra Barra Saloon from Lady and the Blog:
"Finally, my favorite meal of the trip, and my cannot be missed recommendation: Barra Barra Saloon located in Old Town on Fiesta de Reyes.
When in California, I expect to have great Mexican food and Barra Barra Saloon did not disappoint. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere at Barra Barra draws you in, and the fire pits in the outdoor dining room give the whole restaurant a warm cozy ambiance. To start out your meal, the guacamole is a must as is the heavenly mango and sea bass ceviche. The chicken mole and tamales are not to be missed, but it is hard to go wrong on the Barra Barra menu.
Between the Best $5 Margaritas in San Diego and the Kids Eat Free promotion, Barra Barra Saloon knows how to please its guests. After experiencing a wonderful evening and a memorable dinner there, I recommend you put Barra Barra Saloon on your must visit list during your San Diego adventure."

A new tradition has begun in Old Town. Starting now until Dec. 31, visitors to Old Town San Diego State Historic Park will witness more than a dozen intricately decorated gingerbread houses in the shops and museums of the state park.
This is the second year in a row that the merchants in the state park have collaborated to create one-of-a-kind gingerbread houses, some as replicas of historic buildings, some made with creative ingredients found within the store, some true gingerbread concoctions created by pastry chefs.
Houses can be seen in the Fiesta de Reyes courtyard, Cosmopolitan Hotel & Restaurant, Toler's Leather, Rust General Store, Robinson-Rose Museum, Captain Fitch's, Racine and Laramie, Tienda de Reyes, Hot Licks, El Centro Artesano, Wells Fargo Museum, House of Jerky, Temecula Olive Oil, Cousin's Candy, Toler's Footwear, the Tin Smith and Old Town Ice Cream and the Johnson House. Visitors can download a map of the house locations from www.fiestadereyes.com.
"We invite park visitors to step into Captain Fitch's mini gingerbread land," said shop owner Pam Cantina. "Our welcoming door wreaths and Christmas tree are decorated with an array of charming gingerbread ornaments. Don't miss our large and small gingerbread nutcrackers and our window display that has gingerbread-themed houses, trees, and even a train!"
Gingerbread houses have been around for hundreds of years. The first gingerbread is thought to have been made by Catholic monks in Europe for special holidays and festivals. The English, French and Germans were known to eat and celebrate with gingerbread treats.
The gingerbread house first became popular in Germany after the Brothers Grimm published "Hansel and Gretel" in the 19th century. Early German settlers brought the gingerbread house to the Americas and the tradition become more and more popular in North America, especially in the 20th century.
Displays will remain on exhibit until January 1. The Old Town State Park Gingerbread Tour is sponsored by the Old Town Merchants Association, Old Town San Diego State Historic Park and Fiesta de Reyes. For more info, visit: http://www.oldtownmexicanfood.com/blog.

U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken on Thursday rejected requests from the federal government and trade groups representing many of the world's largest energy companies to dismiss a climate change lawsuit brought by a group of youth plaintiffs and a leading climate scientist.
"This is no ordinary lawsuit," Aiken wrote in a strongly worded, 54-page opinion and order that explains her ruling, which opens a pathway for the case to potentially proceed to trial.
Aiken in September heard arguments in the case in U.S. District Court in Eugene. The lawsuit seeks to require federal officials to drastically reduce carbon emissions that many scientists say contribute to climate change.
Lawyers for the government and trade groups representing energy giants such as Exxon Mobil and BP argued that the suit should be dismissed because it fails to state valid legal claims, and it centers on issues that should be decided by federal agencies and lawmakers. They also contended that the plaintiffs lack standing to bring the lawsuit.

AUBURN, Ala. — Wilson Bell won a national championship at Florida State, but the original team of his dreams was the one he beat to get that ring — Auburn football.
Bell made a graduate transfer to Auburn from Florida State this summer, and he is one of eight candidates to start along the Tigers' offensive line in 2017. But even if he doesn't earn a spot on the starting lineup, Bell said he's ready to do whatever is best for his new team.
"It's just a new offense," Bell said Saturday. "So I might not be ready, and I want the best five guys on the field that can help the team. When it's my time to step up, I want to be the guy that can do that."
MORE: Jarrett Stidham has 'raised his level' since becoming Auburn starting QB
Most graduate transfers are expected to start immediately at their new home. However, Bell has received some stiff competition from Auburn sophomore guards Mike Horton and Marquel Harrell. Braden Smith — Auburn's best offensive lineman — might stay at right guard this fall instead of right tackle, where he worked all spring.
Bell hasn't worked anywhere other than right guard in fall camp.
"He's one of the new guys coming in, and we're just trying to be very simple with the new guys and let them get set in one position and give them the best chance of being successful," Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said Saturday.
If Auburn sticks to its first-team starting lineup from its second scrimmage and Bell stays only at right guard, he won't start the season opener against Georgia Southern in two weeks.
Being a reserve is nothing new to Bell, though. At Florida State, Bell was replaced by Landon Dickerson in 2016 after an injury. But by the end of the season, Bell was back in the mix for the Seminoles.
"Always be prepared," Bell said. "It's the same thing. … You can never say, 'Oh, man, my time is over, and I'll never get a chance again.' My mindset is to keep preparing."
Bell will prepare at a school he said he dreamed of playing for in high school. The Mobile, Ala., native played at Mattie T. Blount High School, the same school as former Auburn quarterback and assistant coach Dameyune Craig.
The Tigers offered a scholarship to the former 3-star prospect a few days after the Seminoles in January 2013. Bell ultimately signed with Florida State, Craig's former and now current employer. A year later, he was in the BCS National Championship Game against Auburn.
When Bell decided it was "time for a new change of scenery" and transfer from Florida State, Auburn didn't miss out on its second chance.
"Growing up, you always want to play in the Iron Bowl," Bell said. "The recruiting process, it didn't pan out the way I wanted it to. Even though I went and won a national championship and everything, it was like God said, 'I'm going to give you another chance to go to the school you always dreamed of going to.' I did that. Getting this opportunity was tremendous. It's a once in a lifetime thing."
MORE: Marlon Davidson, other injured players 'back in some capacity' at practice
That familiarity with Auburn and the coaching staff made for a smooth transition this offseason.
"The guys have just lifted me up," Bell said. "I feel like I've been here four years with these guys. I love this school. I'm glad I got a chance to come back."
Bell still had to make the adjustment to the new offensive system and the tempo of Auburn — both of which were much different than what he experienced at Florida State.
"He's learning how we do things — not just the who-tos, but the how-tos as well," Auburn offensive line coach Herb Hand said last week. "And he's obviously got a lot of experience, so his learning curve is going to be a little bit faster. Once he actually get it and the lights click, it's going to accelerate his development."
With two weeks before the opener, Bell still has time to take over a starting job on Auburn's offensive line. But if he doesn't make the first team, the 6-foot-5, 338-pound offensive guard said his mindset won't change.
"All I can do out there is do my job and do the best I can for the team," Bell said. "Whatever happens, happens."

ROME — Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan kicks off his whirlwind week of official events in Rome tomorrow, with a Mass for family, friends and others at the city's oldest church.
The popular New York archbishop, 62, will be joined by as many as 1,000 faithful at historic St. John Lateran — consecrated in 324 A.D. and considered the "mother church" of Roman Catholics — for the first of a swirl of duties leading up to his elevation on Saturday.
Dolan, who arrived here late Saturday, has spent much of his time hunkered down among old friends and feverishly working on a crucial speech he'll present to the pope.
He's "in isolation," holed up in the Cardinal Cooke suite on the fifth floor of the North American Pontifical College, according to church officials.
"This is very much a business trip for him," said New York Archdiocese spokesman Joe Zwilling.
After reconnecting with old friends from his seminary days, Dolan has been putting the finishing touches on the keynote address he'll give to Pope Benedict XVI and the College of Cardinals on Friday.
The topic of the speech — new evangelism in the Catholic Church —is a subject of vital importance to the pope himself. Dolan will deliver it in Italian.

Pakistan Minister alleges India planning conspiracies against CPEC using Afghan soils, says such plots to hamper will be foiled….reports Asian Lite News
Pakistan's Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal has alleged that "conspiracies" are being hatched by India against the ambitious China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), and they would be foiled. Iqbal told the media that India was using the soil of Afghanistan for such conspiracies, but expressed the hope that the CPEC project would be made successful.
Iqbal's remark comes after Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Tuesday said that China and Pakistan wanted Afghanistan to join the CPEC.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry said Kabul was willing to join the multi-billion dollar corridor, which cuts through Pakistan-administered Kashmir claimed by India.
China also said Afghanistan's willingness should not worry India and warned it against "disturbing" the key project of Beijing's Belt and Road Initiative.
The CPEC – a network of highways, railways, roads and special economic zones, which connects China's Xinjiang with Pakistan's Gwadar port, is opposed by India as it passes through a part of Kashmir held by Pakistan and claimed by India.
The Minister also said that Pakistan allowed the mother and wife of alleged Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav to meet him purely on humanitarian grounds, but the same day the Indian Army violated the ceasefire agreement and opened unprovoked fire from across the Line of Control, resulting in the death of three Pakistani soldiers.
Iqbal added that the US should stop hurling threats at Pakistan and recognise the sacrifices it had rendered in the war against terrorism.

If you're worried about the summer heat, you know that you need a ceiling fan. It's one of those multi-functional devices that can keep you cool and if you buy a ceiling fan with lighting, can also ensure that your surrounding is well lit.
While you can regulate it accordingly during the summers and winters, did you ever wonder how it all worked?
For instance, during the summer time, you would like your fan to rotate in the counter clockwise direction so that it will distribute that nice cool air through the house and create a soothing breeze.
Again, for the winters you would want it to operate in the clockwise direction because that will enforce the air to move up- and thus, all the hot air across the ceiling will be automatically forced down.
How Does the Ceiling Fan Speed Control Work?
The ceiling fan speed control requires some complex wiring for successful operation. The fan control allows it to rotate at various speeds and the working of the speed control largely depends on the type of technology used. It is integral to having a proper wiring set up by a professional so as to be able to operate it without any hassle.
Many people think that it is okay to use a regular dimmer for fan speed control, but substantially it is not advised to do so.
The problem is that if you don't get enough electricity, the fan won't turn properly and will most probably get overheated- thus, resulting in a conflagration.
So, what you should ideally look for, in order to control the speed of your fan is a switch that is specifically designed for fan speed control.
The Two Types of Speed Controls
Coming to the type of speed controls – ideally, it is of two types i.e. wall control and unit control. The unit control usually has a prearranged setting of the usual 'high, medium, low, and off'. So this way you can easily have the desired speed by operating the switch with the utmost ease.
The Dimmer Switch
It comes in the wall control category and allows you to control the speed of the fan by switching between high and low beams. The modern dimmer switches might be saving more energy, but there is a high probability of such a switch to be on the fritz.
The capacitors also play a vital role in its functionality as after receiving all the power from the source- it supplies the motor with a pertinent amount of energy which resultantly allows the user to set the fan speed at any desired level between off to the maximum.
The working of a fan's speed control also depends on the fact whether your fan has a capacitor or a solid-state control. If it comprises of the solid-state control, then it will control the motor in such a way that it won't make any kind of buzzing noises, which is otherwise generated by the motor's windings. Additionally, it also has the necessary variable speed control setting.
Changing the Settings
It is also possible to have a setting where the switch of the light and the fan is different. Ceiling fans give a versatile look to your room as you can have the desired kind of lighting and additionally, it also saves a good amount of energy. Because of its numerous advantages, everyone should have at least one ceiling fan in their house.
However, while choosing one- you should ensure that the quality of the motor is promising as there are several motors that are not constructed properly and if such a motor is installed then, unfortunately, the fan will create humming noises.
Also, keep an eye on the blade size of the fan that you are purchasing because it should preferably suit the size of the room where you will be fixing it.
How Do You Get the Best Experience?
For controlling the fan with utmost convenience- you can also buy a handheld remote to change the fan speed, and turn the light on and off from the comfort of your bed. Some remotes also have the ability to change the blade direction which makes your life a lot easier.
It also makes your room 7-10 degrees cooler and thus helps you save on your air conditioner bill! So, go ahead and make an informed purchase to save money and also to add a decorative centerpiece in your room.

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (rewatch)
Posted by martinteller on July 30, 2014
It's been over a decade since I last saw this movie, my initiation to the work of Jacques Demy. At the time, I was pretty dismissive of it, calling it "a lame story with a quirky gimmick". I had hopes this revisit would make the movie click with me. After all, I'm supposed to adore it. It's by far Demy's most beloved and famous film. It ranks #164 on TSPDT's comprehensive list of the greatest films (Demy's highest placement on that list). It won the Palme d'Or. It has the highest rating on IMDb. I skimmed a couple of dozen other reviews, and they were all positive… in fact, all but one were gushingly positive. Surely with ten additional years of intense movie-watching — including a great appreciation of many other Demy films — under my belt, the charms of this movie would reveal themselves to me.
Alas, no. The caveat I feel inclined to give for this review is: "for me". I cannot deny the love that others feel for it, I can only say it does not work for me. And it's largely because the central conceit of the film doesn't work for me. I understand that it is an unconventional musical, and should not be viewed in the same way you'd view Singin' in the Rain. There is no dance, no big production numbers. Although the main theme is memorable, most of the tunes are shapeless ditties… lovely, but shapeless. And that's just the music… the "lyrics" themselves are simply sung dialogue. Any rhyme is purely coincidental. There are no refrains, no bridges, no structure. Almost every line sounds like it's dangling at the end, waiting in vain for the phrase to be resolved.
Many of the reviews I glanced at said that after a little while, you don't even notice they're singing. How I wish that were true for me. I found it endlessly distracting. While I appreciate the juxtaposition of the lilting music against the bittersweet story, the singing was like a fly I couldn't shake off. I couldn't find it charming or moving because I always felt this chasm between myself and the characters. What can you do when the very thing that makes the movie unique is something that annoys you?
I do love the vibrant visuals. Such a candyland world of eye-popping colors… and a nice little touch when Geneviève and Guy "walk" down the street on a dolly track. It is undeniably a gorgeous film. And I must retract the term "lame story"… there is something insightful to its look at romance as an often ephemeral thing, not an idealized fantasy, but a force that has needs or it will wither and fade. There is a beautiful, tragic melancholy to the line: "I would have died for him… why am I not dead?" And it's a minor thing, but the intervening years since my last viewing have enabled me to understand and appreciate the reference to Lola (which, as of this writing, is currently my favorite by Demy).
Movies are not universal experiences, but I always feel a little guilty — and a little dense — when a much-heralded "classic" leaves me cold (perhaps in this case, "lukewarm" fits better). In the end, I'm the one who's missing out. But for me, this film doesn't work. It is an admirable experiment (with points for a high degree of difficulty) and I would say that thematically, it's more successful than I initially gave it credit for. I just don't enjoy watching it very much. Rating: Fair (66)

Tuesday 26 April 2016
Porthcawl to Llantwit Major
19 miles
Oli and Laura's house, Cardiff
Many thanks to Ann and Meirion for looking after me. Meirion gave me a lift down to Sandy Bay and I walked past the funfair and all along the beaches of Sandy Bay, Trecco Bay and the edge of the Merthyr-mawr Warren Nature Reserve. It was high tide so there wasn't much beach but lots of shingle.
I reached the Ogmore River and had to divert inland, through the Merthyr-mawr dunes (apparently the 2nd highest in Europe), around the sewage works hidden in the trees, past the remains of Candleston Castle, to the village of Merthyr Mawr.
It was a lovely walk and very quiet. Merthyr Mawr was very picturesque with its thatched cottages and church surrounded by a carpet of bluebells on the banks of the river.
I crossed two bridges to Ogmore, which also meant I was now in Glamorgan. I found myself back at The Pelican pub (too early for lunch!) and alongside Ogmore Castle (another Norman Castle built 1116).
It didn't take quite so long to walk the road down to Ogmore-by-Sea and then I was back on cliffs.
I walked along to Southerndown and stopped at the pub there for lunch. The wind was picking up and I could see squalls of rain that kept just missing me.
A huge sausage sandwich later and I felt invigorated and ready to carry on. It was very windy and at times I felt like my rucksack was being ripped off my back. Great fun walking along some very exposed cliff tops with no fencing and lots of cliff falls.
The Glamorgan Heritage Coast has the 2nd biggest tidal range in the World. I was glad that I had stopped for lunch because the walk from Dunraven Bay to Nash Point should be done at low tide. I would have been possible to walk the whole way on the beach; however, I stayed on the cliff top and was rewarded with some spectacular views of the rock formations.
Dunraven Bay used to have a huge mansion house but it was demolished in the 1960s as it became unaffordable. There is a small heritage centre there and walks through the gardens. The beach has lots of large rocks on it known as 'dancing stones'. It was very noisy as a coastguard helicopter was practising something around the cliffs of Witches Nose, the bit that sticks out at Dunraven.
The Blue Lias cliffs on this stretch of Glamorgan coast are spectacular. They are formed by layers of limestone and shale, and they captivated me. Around every turn the cliffs, and the flat rocks on the beaches below, gave another dramatic view.
I rounded Nash Point, which has 2 lighthouses (one not used), and arrived at St Donat's Bay.
This was a strange place; concrete castle-like walls the length of the small bay to keep the public out. I could see an outdoor swimming pool behind the walls and it looked like some sort of activity centre. To get to the town behind I can only assume one must walk through the small wood on the side of the cliff?
I reached the cliff top overlooking Col-huw Point, the spit of shingle that forms Llantwit Major's beach.
Here I headed into the, larger than I expected, town to catch the train back to Cardiff. Llantwit Major certainly seemed like a thriving community with lots of shops, several pubs and a lovely old centre.

OJ Simpson Demands Khloe To Let Him See Baby True!
Khloe has had one of the most unpleasant pregnancies in the Kardashian family. Kylie and Kim had a really peaceful pregnancy, whereas Khloe was being cheated by her baby daddy Tristan Thompson. If that problem wasn't enough Khloe now faces another danger as OJ Simpson demands to see baby True. Will she allow him to see her? Read the article to find out...
"O. J." Simpson, nicknamed The Juice!
O.J. Simpson is one of the well-known NFL players in the world of sports, apart from being a sportsperson he is also a broadcaster, actor, advertising spokesman, and convicted robber.
The former NFL running back had a relationship with Kris Jenner!
It has been in the news for many years that OJ Simpson has had a relationship with Kris Jenner, they were said to be in a relationship while Kris was married to Robert Kardashian. Many believe that Khloe is OJ Simpson's daughter and baby True his granddaughter!
Khloe already has a lot of problems in her life!
Since the day her baby daddy Tristan cheated on her, the reality star's life has become hell and surrounded by controversies. After a long tiring fight against all the controversies, the celebrity mom finally had the time to just concentrate on her baby girl True, but now she has another dangerous situation to deal with!
OJ Simpson still believes Khloe is his daughter!
A source revealed, "O.J. believes now more than ever that Khloe is his daughter because True looks so much like his son Justin did when he was a baby." Will Khloe really allow OJ Simpson to see her baby girl? Is OJ Simpson really her father?
He wants his family (Baby True) to be by his side!
An insider revealed, "Now that he's out of prison, he wants his family around, but he really doesn't have much family left. If True is his grandchild, then he absolutely wants to be a part of her life."
Khloe has always been protective of her daughter!
Khloe is very protective of her daughter, she recently thrashed a fan for calling her daughter ugly. Khloe tweeted back, "What self-respecting adult would even comment on a child's appearance? What type of disgusting human being are you? It's pathetic that you are this miserable in your life."
Will she allow OJ Simpson near baby True?
It is obvious that Khloe won't allow OJ to be anywhere near her baby, an insider revealed, "Thinking about the possibility that she's not a real Kardashian has always gotten her down, but now that she's a mom, she's super-protective."

Mark DeRosa to the Bronx?
I just plain don't get this one.
DeRosa, 35 when the season starts, played with the Cardinals and Indians this past season. He hit .250/.319/.433 with 23 HR and 78 RBI.
DeRosa is asking for a three-year deal worth about $18 Million.
The Yankees won't sign Johnny Damon to a two year deal worth $20 Million and are looking at DeRosa to be a possible replacement. Wait….didn't the Yankees just sign Nick Johnson as their DH? Would they trade Melky Cabrera? Trade Gardner? Both? Bench one trade the other?
I just don't understand why the Yankees would waste $6 Million a year on a 35 year old corner outfielder. By the time his contract is up Colin Curtis, Brett Gardner, and maybe even Jamie Hoffmann will be knocking on the starting OF door.
The Yankees will have Granderson locked in center and MAYBE an opening in right. Do they move DeRosa to the infield? No, the infield is booked.
Why even consider DeRosa? The Yankees need pitching and until they get that, why even look at other free agents?
Right now here is the Yankees lineup and rotation:
1. Jeter SS
2. Johnson DH
3. Teixeira 1B
4. Rodriguez 3B
5. Granderson CF
6. Posada C
7. Cano 2B
8. Swisher RF
9. Cabrera CF
Does anyone else see a problem with the rotation and no problem with the line-up or am I going crazy?
Rule 5 Draft Selections
The New York Yankees made a very surprising choice with the first pick of the Rule 5 Draft.
They chose Jamie Hoffmann of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Hoffmann, a former 8th round pick of the NHL's Carolina Hurricanes, could make the club as a fourth outfielder. Hoffmann seemed to hit about 9-11 homeruns a year, with a solid batting average of .275+ and is known to have pretty good speed. He could steal up to 20 bases a year. Hoffmann is also known as a solid hitter against lefties and a great fielder.
Personally, I would have taken Kroenke now that Coke is gone, but I am not too upset with the selection.
Zach Kroenke was taken by the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Kanekoa Texeira was taken by the Seattle Mariners.
Analysis: I find it very impressive that Yankees keep getting chosen in the draft. It says something about their minor-league system.
Jamie Hoffmann sticks with the Yankees and makes their regular season roster. He is returned in June when the Yankees trade for a veteran version of him.
Zach Kroenke does not make the Arizona Diamondbacks and is returned. He does have a clause where he can become a free agent, but he chooses to go back to the Yankees, as they promise him a spot on the 40-man roster.
Kanekoa Texeira makes the Seattle Mariners and sticks with them for the entire 2009 season.

Reflecting economic slowdown,listed non-financial private companies on an average posted a decline of 10.9 per cent in net profit in the first quarter of the current fiscal,says a report by the Reserve Bank of India.
"Sales growth (Y-o-Y) continued to decelerate and reached the post crisis low of 2.6 per cent. Total expenditure growth also declined to 2.2 per cent mainly due to raw material expenses contraction," the Reserve Bank said
The findings are based on abridged financial results of 2,768 listed non-government non-financial (NGNF) companies.
As per the 'Performance of the Private Corporate Business Sector' presented by RBI,the average net profit of the companies declined by 10.9 per cent in first quarter.
The net profit contracted for the second consecutive quarter,RBI said. The net profit (of 2686 companies factored in) had declined by 16 per cent in January-March 2012-13 quarter.
The decline in the first quarter of last fiscal was 10.7 per cent (of 2790 companies factored in by the RBI).
RBI said that coverage of companies in different quarters varies to some extent,depending on date of declaration of quarterly results but "it is not expected to alter the aggregate position significantly".
However,their operating profits (Earnings before Interest,Tax,Depreciation & Amortization or EBITDA),grew marginally by 1.1 per cent in the April-June period against near stagnation seen in the previous quarter.
Decline in sales growth was spread across most of the industries,including motor vehicles,iron and steel,cement,coke and refined petroleum products and electrical machinery and apparatus industries.
"Cement,iron & steel and construction industries witnessed significant contraction in EBITDA and net profit," RBI said.
Sales of the manufacturing sector remained almost stagnant with a growth of only 0.8 per cent in the first quarter.
RBI further said that sales growth for the non-IT services sector was lower than that of the previous quarter.
On the other hand,improvement in sales growth was noticed for the IT sector.
The total sales recored by the companies under review was Rs 7,25,800 crore at the end of June 2014 quarter.
The sales in the year-ago period was Rs 7,16,700 crore (of 2,790 companies factored in by the RBI).
India's GDP growth had slumped to 4.4 per cent in first quarter of the fiscal,slowest in four years.

6 ways to get your child to love fruits and vegetables
By Meisha-Gay Mattis
Children just don't like vegetable! Or so we're led to believe. But here's a lightbulb moment for all you parents out there: eating habits are learnt. Meaning your little munchkins can be taught to love their veggies.
The easiest and best way to do this is to model it for them, so if you want to raise children who love fruits and veggies, it means you have to eat them, too. Parents are the first and most important role models for their children, so if your child never sees you even touch a piece of broccoli, how do you expect him or her to eat it? Be an example. As adults, we ourselves often perceive vegetables to be unsavory, bland and boring—usually stemming from our own childhoods, and children can pick up on that.
It cannot be stressed enough how important fruits and vegetables are to our health. But how do you get your little picky eater to fall in love with them? Here are a few simple strategies to try:
1. Make the introduction early
Taste is acquired. If you make the introduction to fruits and particularly vegetables early, there's a high probability that your child will develop the taste for them. A big mistake most parents often make is introducing processed foods and sugars first. My cousin has a set of twins and she was urged to introduce them to vegetables very early, even before fruits. Now at age seven, they refuse to have dinner if there are no vegetables on the plate. One loves carrots and tomatoes, and the other loves cucumbers and lettuce. Not all children are the same, but an early introduction is a good bet and sets the stage and habit for healthy eating.
2. Disguise them
'Dress up' your vegetables by adding them to pasta, stir-fry and other dishes. Sometimes it's not that children won't eat vegetables, but preparation and presentation could be what makes the difference. Pairing them with other foods may offset the taste. Creativity will be key here.
3. Make treats
Children love snacks and treats, and fruits and vegetables can make great treats in the form of smoothies, popsicles, sauces, dips and dressings. This is also another clever way to disguise them.
4. Let them participate
Not only are they building a level of independence and empowerment, but the engagement might just encourage them to take it a step further and want to eat what they have helped to prepare. Start with a few veggies more easier on the palate like cucumbers and carrots before adding others like broccoli. They can help to wash them, or arrange them on the plate, or let them choose which one they want to try for a particular meal.
5. Make them fun
Play with a variety of fruits and vegetables in varying colours; cut them into fun shapes and sizes with cookie cutters. Play the rainbow game—'How many different colours can you eat in a day or week?'
Dress up sandwiches with faces & shapes made from vegetables and fruit.
6. Make them accessible
It's not that you are forcing them, but sometimes, when you find anything constantly in your face, you just might yield to the temptation and give it a try. Have fresh fruits and vegetables accessible on the spot with dips, especially when they are at home with friend during playtime:
- Store chopped fruits for snacking in Ziplock bags in the refrigerator.
- Have small servings of vegetables with every meal and make a rule that they have to have a bite of everything on their plate even if they don't consume it entirely.

by Cassandra Profita Follow OPB Dec. 13, 2018 3 p.m.
Federal fishery managers are increasing the catch limits for several West Coast species that were overfished and severely restricted for years.
Surveys show depleted populations of yellow eye and bocaccio rockfish, cow cod and ocean perch — all classified as groundfish — are rebounding decades ahead of schedule.
As a result, the National Marine Fisheries Service plans to double the catch limits for these fish starting Jan. 1.
It's a major milestone in the recovery of a fishery that endured major cutbacks and tumultuous changes since it was declared a federal disaster in 2000.
For some species, the catch limits are more than doubling. The limit for ocean perch is spiking 1,444 percent. The changes could increase fishing income in Oregon, Washington and California by $60 million and generate hundreds of jobs, the agency reports.
John Holloway, a fisherman and chairman of a federal groundfish advisory panel, said the resurgence of fish is the result of new science, major fishery management overhauls and a change in culture both in the fishing industry and among regulators.
"It cost the fishing industry a lot," he said. "The entire culture had to change. I give kudos to the fishing industry because they've been through some tough times."
To rebuild collapsed fish populations, managers closed huge sections of the ocean to fishing and severely reduced catch limits. Restrictions on overfished stocks hobbled fishermen for years because it prevented them from catching more abundant fish species.
Groundfish trawlers catch more than a hundred different species, including lingcod, Dover sole and all kinds of rockfish. To alleviate fishing pressure, the fleet went through a buyback process that withdrew hundreds of fishing permits and took nearly a hundred boats off the water for good.
Then, in 2011, the fishery switched to a whole new system of management called catch shares, where each boat gets its own share of the total catch to fish, sell or trade.

A morning routine, or ritual, is essential for starting my day. Here I'll walk you through my current routine, along with the reasons for each step. Bonjour!
7am – sit up, turn on fairy lights
- Sitting up is a more specific and achievable goal than "getting up". The lights help my eyes adjust to the waking world.
read a book
- Before my mind gets distracted by the day, it is clear and ready to focus on fiction.
drink a cup of water and read British Vogue
- In warmer seasons I relocate to the living room couch for this activity, but for winter I moved my magazine to my bedside table.
- Monkey and I don't drink coffee at home, so he converted the cafetiere that came with our furnished flat into a carafe of water.
- Drinking a cup of water wakes up my body, and reading Vogue reminds me to get up like a sophisticated lady.
7:30am – bathroom: toilet, clean ears, wash hands, brush teeth, wash face
- My morning bathroom routine is now muscle memory, and although I rarely hop out of bed to embrace the morning, by the time my face is clean and moisturised I feel more awake.
breakfast – brew tea, unload drying rack, prepare breakfast
- One of my favourite tips from At Home With Madame Chic is to set the breakfast table the night before. I lay out the placemats, cutlery, and prepare any bowls, plates, pots, and other cooking materials. This means deciding what we'll have the night before, eliminating decision making in the groggy morning.
- The night before I also make sure to fill the kettle, so all we have to do is push a button.
- We wash the dishes the night before and leave them out to dry. I love putting things back where they belong – another activity that's just autopilot, and it makes me feel productive in the morning while doing a somewhat active task.
8:00am – tea and journalling
- We let our tea brew and cool during breakfast, then retire to the living room. I do my morning pages between sips.
get dressed
- Even if I'm staying in all day, getting dressed puts me in the appropriate professional mindset for getting things done.
sit at desk and light candle
- Sitting at my office desk triggers work mode. Lighting a candle or incense is an extra touch that keeps me focused.
Do you have a morning routine? What do you find most essential for your morning?

text: by Brent HoveyReporterBedford -- You could say Beau Calcei started and ended the Division II Bedford District semifinal game between Aurora and Parma Padua on May 16.On the first pitch of the game, Padua's leadoff hitter hit a soft line drive to the Aurora second baseman.On the last pitch of the game, Calcei lined a game-winning, 3-run double down the rightfield line to cap a 4-run seventh inning and an 11-10 comeback win in a three-hour game.The win propelled AHS into the district finals against Holy Name the next day."I knew it was over," Calcei said as he watched his ball get by Padua's rightfielder. "I was just trying to keep my head clear and not think of the pitch. Going down [one ball, two strikes] was nerve racking but I was just trying to keep my cool and see the ball the whole way there."The Greenmen's dugout erupted on contact and swarmed Colin Sanford as he crossed the plate with the winning run. Steven Yung and Andy Heacox also scored.Then the team turned its attention to Calcei, who was still running the bases and met his team at home plate."Beau's done that all year for us," said coach George Snider. THINGS WERE looking about as ugly as the weather for Aurora most of the game. A light rain came down during the early innings, and as the game progressed, the temperature dropped into the 40s. Aurora almost gave Padua the game, committing 6 errors, walking 7 batters and hitting two more with pitches. All the miscues put AHS down 10-4 after Padua scored four in the top of the fifth.The Greenmen came back with three in the fifth and finished off the rally in the seventh.The seventh started with a groundout before Taylor singled to left. An infield single by Andy Mitroff and a walk to Yung loaded the bases.Heacox then grounded to short, which could have been a game-ending double play but turned into an RBI single when Yung hustled and beat the throw to second. Taylor scored, making it 10-8.Sanford followed with a grounder to the pitcher, who forced the runner at home. And that set the stage for Calcei's heroics."He covers the outside of the plate well and we want him to try to go down the rightfield line," said Snider. "We preach taking it that way."Throughout the game, Snider kept telling his team, "you've got to believe." The Greenmen never gave up and came through when it mattered."You've just got to believe things are going to happen," Snider said. "At some point the breaks will come."The word "team" is stitched on the back of Aurora's caps, and there was no doubt it was a team win as everyone in the lineup contributed. Eight of the nine batters scored a run, five had multiple-hit games and the RBIs came from five players.ALONG WITH Calcei, the offensive standouts were Taylor, who went 4-for-4 with 3 RBI, and Heacox with a pair of singles and 2 RBI.Trailing 3-0 in the first inning, Yung drew a walk, stole second and scored on Heacox's single. Heacox scored on Adam Bellamy's single.In the fourth, it was Ty Watson and Mike Eden singling to lead off, then scoring on Taylor's 2-run triple.In the fifth, it was Calcei and Bellamy getting on base with one out. With two outs, Eden and Taylor had back-to-back RBI singles. Then Mitroff drew a walk to load the bases and Yung drew another walk to cut the lead to 10-7.In the seventh, Aurora did the little things to set the table for Calcei."Colin didn't get doubled up on his grounder to the pitcher and Mitroff made a good slide into the catcher so Padua couldn't turn it," Snider said. "Yung beat the play to second. Mitroff had a big infield single that got overlooked and Sanford flew around the bases to score the winning run."On the mound, things didn't come easy for the Greenmen. Josh Adkins started and lasted only 3 2/3 innings. He gave up 3 runs in the first on 2 hits and 3 unearned runs in the fourth."He isn't thinking about it now, but Josh pitched three good innings," Snider said after the game. Eden came on in relief and lasted one inning before giving way to Watson, who pitched 2 1/3 innings of hitless ball.E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com: 330-688-0088 ext. 3155

The actual Los Angeles Medicinal Cannabis Program is one which has greatly expanded in the last five years. As increasing numbers of doctors become a part of this growing system, and as more and more investigation institutes are able to generate clinical studies within the benefits of medicinal pot, more and more ailments are now being approved for it to be able to effectively treat.
Tantamount to these efforts is actually progress. A good idea of the progress can be recognized when one evaluates how many different circumstances medical cannabis qualifies to treat in La, a number that presently is more than 150. Should you ever wondered about what a few quick facts had been regarding the Los Angeles Healing Marijuana Program, these types of 10 should keep well informed about it.
Top ten Factoids About the Are usually Medicinal Marijuana System
1 . Proposition 215 legalizing a Oregon medicinal marijuana system was originally handed down in 1996, the Compassionate Use Take action of 1996.
second . In 2003, this specific proposition was modified as Senate Expenses (SB) 420 (Chapter 875, Statutes regarding 2003), which developed dispensaries and a medical marijuana card program in LOS ANGELES.
3. The Denver Medicinal Marijuana Plan is administered, monitored and funded through the California Department involving Public Health (CDPH)
four. Senate Bill four twenty requires that this health care marijuana program become paid for by the software fees charged for every card by the express.
5. Per the actual CDPH guidelines, "Upon obtaining a recommendation off their physician for use connected with medicinal marijuana, individuals and their primary caregivers may apply for and become issued, a Healthcare Marijuana Identification Cards. "
6. For each CDPH specs for your fiscal year associated with 2011, there are more compared to 52, 549 La medical marijuana credit cards in use that are legitimate for one year.
seven. Only licensed physicians or LA cannabis clinics and health offices can recommend people for an Los Angeles hashish card.
8. For every state of Ca law, "seriously sick Californians have the directly to obtain and utilize marijuana for healthcare purposes" and to "ensure that patients and the primary caregivers who else obtain and make use of marijuana for health-related purposes upon the particular recommendation of a doctor are not subject to legal prosecution or calamité. " (Calif. Wellness & Safety Program code 11362. 5 (b)) Patients and/or their particular primary caregivers might possess no more than 8 ounces of dried out marijuana and/or 6 mature (or twelve immature) marijuana vegetation. "
9. Those under 18 who are suffering from protected illnesses can be accepted for a medical weed card in Are usually, but they must fulfill specific requirements which are set by the point out, which can vary through county.
10. Just holders of a good card are guarded from legal requested by prosecution by the state. Government law still forbids using marijuana for just about any reason and classifies it as a routine 1 drug. But it's highly not likely that any person will be prosecuted for utilizing medical marijuana inside LA by the feds, as they don't law enforcement residents of says in the union.

My background as an English teacher and an all-around lexophile tells me to break down the word into morphemes, or units of meaning. From Late Latin eligere, this word means "to choose."
But what happens when this word means something you didn't have a choice in? Something you wouldn't ever choose to go through, let alone anyone else?
In my mind, I always had a feeling we would struggle to get pregnant. Anxiety-ridden and needing to feed my destructive perfectionism, I would go months at a time without my period during college. But each time, it would come back, and I assumed everything had balanced out. But it wasn't balanced. And it didn't stop when college ended.
Almost immediately after my husband and I got married in 2013, the question of "when are you going to have kids" popped up at family gatherings, church, and work. At the time, this question seemed to be just annoying. What I didn't realize is how painful this question would be when we found ourselves struggling four years later, still without a child.
The first bill I received during my struggle with infertility was for a blood test in 2017. On the insurance statement, coverage was denied because it was an "elective" blood draw. Elective? I didn't choose to need blood drawn in order to receive fertility treatment. In fact, given a choice, I would have chosen the easier path: getting pregnant right away.
Soon, I received my results and discovered that I had low progesterone, a hormone that implants the fertilized egg and makes sure it stays implanted. With this news, I did make a choice. I chose to fight for the possibility to have a child of my own.
A month later, we found out that the fight wouldn't be easy. The night before leaving for a business trip, I miscarried at six weeks. I was devastated. For a brief moment, there was hope and wonder, and then it was gone. Knowing I'm a mother who will never hold that child breaks my heart to this day.
I chose to keep fighting.
Appointment after appointment, blood draw after blood draw, test after test, I continued to pay for my "elective" procedures out of pocket, watching the total amount continue to rise, just to create my family. With just two more rounds of our current fertility treatment plan, I could see In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) rapidly swinging into our future, which I knew would be denied by my insurance, since my health plan, like most others, covers 0% of infertility treatment.
With the treatment and medications running between $15,000 and $20,000 per cycle, I didn't even know how to prepare for this "elective" procedure. I wanted to keep fighting, but my medical coverage wasn't there. I feel inspired knowing there's a treatment available to me—a chance at carrying to term and having a child of my own. Nevertheless, I struggle with the juxtaposition that I have this treatment at my fingertips, but the only choice I have to receive this treatment is to pay tens of thousands out of pocket. And that's if the IVF even works.
For my husband and I, wanting kids was our choice. Struggling to medically have kids is my burden, not my choice. Every time I see "elective" on a bill, it feels like an extra punch to the gut, reminding me that if I'd won the genetic lottery, I wouldn't have to make these "choices" and pay for my "elective" procedures.
As we face this looming financial decision, I elect to be present in my feelings and emotions. I elect to save every penny I can to help bring us our child. I elect to support the incredible network of people in my infertility support group, and I elect to raise awareness on the subject of infertility. I elect to vote for individuals who will support women's rights to their own bodies. I elect to do everything in my power to work toward allowing our voice to be heard by insurance companies, to know that this is not a choice we make, but a circumstance we endure; to know that infertility is a legitimate disease, and that it deserves legitimate coverage.

Mourinho says win dedicated to United supremo
Jose Mourinho dedicated Manchester United's 2-0 victory at Burnley on Sunday to beleaguered executive Ed Woodward as his club returned to winning ways in an incident-packed clash at Turf Moor.
United manager Mourinho, whose name was chanted throughout the afternoon by the 2,400 travelling supporters, also claimed Marcus Rashford had been naive in being shown a straight red card, just 10 minutes after appearing as a 60th minute substitute, following an altercation with Phil Bardsley.
By that stage, United were comfortably in front thanks to two goals from Romelu Lukaku and could even afford the luxury of a missed Paul Pogba penalty, won by Rashford following a foul by Ben Mee, and saved well by Joe Hart. But, given the delicate political situation at Old Trafford, the afternoon was as notable for events off the field as on them.
Before kick-off, supporters had paid for a small plane to fly over the ground, towing a banner that read: "Ed Woodward, a specialist in failure."
The accusation — one which Mourinho famously directed at former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger when he himself was in charge of Chelsea — referenced the executive vice chairman's supposed inability to deliver the United manager his desired transfer targets this summer.
But while Mourinho praised the United fans, who supported their players after the shock 3-0 home defeat to Tottenham last Monday, he also offered a hint of support for Woodward.
"In the match I'm not looking at the sky, unless I'm asking for the guy to give me help," joked Mourinho. "I didn't see the plane but Ed Woodward won this afternoon, 2-0.
"But I think we started winning this match because of Old Trafford, after Spurs. We lost at home, if the fans had reacted bad the team loses confidence, the week is not a good week, the team feels pressure. But we lost at home and the fans were amazing to the team. The team understood the direction was good and it was not a sad week, it was a very good week at work and we started the way you saw."
Mauricio Pochettino admitted Tottenham's 2-1 defeat at Watford was a wake-up call and conceded his side must improve if they are to win the Premier League.
Pochettino was critical of his players' failure to hold on to the lead given to them by Abdoulaye Doucoure's 53rd-minute own goal.
Watford scored from two set-pieces, leaving the Spurs boss to question his side's approach.
"I think it's a very good wake-up call for everyone and we can listen more when people talk about the reality and not the perception," he said. "Today, it's good to compare. Sometimes people talk about the perception but the reality was on the pitch and the reality is if you want to be a contender, today you need to win."
Pochettino admitted defeat was hard to take and hinted his side might have underestimated Watford. Pochettino also questioned whether his side had shown sufficient aggression, and the way in which Troy Deeney and Craig Cathcart were able to head home unhindered from a free-kick and corner respectively supported the Argentine's view.
"Today from the beginning we needed to go there like a lion and try to score in every single action," he said. "The second half we scored and then they showed more strength (and were) more aggressive in the situation."
It was Watford's fourth successive win and left Javi Gracia's third-placed side level on points with leaders Liverpool and second placed Chelsea.
Unai Emery praised Arsenal's character after they gave a glimpse of their potential in a thrilling 3-2 victory at Cardiff on Sunday. Emery was rewarded for a bold selection after partnering Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, his two main forwards, together from the start for the first time in the Premier League.
Both scored as Emery's men collected the second victory of his reign.
The Spaniard saw his side make hard work of seeing off the newly-promoted Welsh club with old defensive failings twice allowing Cardiff to equalise.
But both Aubameyang and then Lacazette scored excellent goals to finally kill off Cardiff. The Bluebirds had equalized through Victor Camarasa and Danny Ward after Shkodran Mustafi headed the Gunners ahead.
