Spurs 3-1 Fulham - Tim's verdict
19 April 2014|Tottenham Hotspur
Tim Sherwood felt we deserved to take maximum points after a tough test against Fulham at White Hart Lane on Saturday.
Goals from Paulinho - his seventh this season and first at the Lane - Harry Kane and Younes Kaboul secured a 3-1 victory against a Fulham side that fought to the end and forced Hugo Lloris to make two world-class saves at key times in the match.
Paulinho opened the scoring from Christian Eriksen's free-kick on 35 minutes but the lead only last two minutes as Steve Sidwell broke through centrally to finish.
Harry headed home his third goal in three starts in the Premier League for 2-1 just three minutes into the second half and Hugo maintained the lead with a flying save from Hugo Rodallega's header.
Christian provided another goal on a plate from a free-kick this time for Younes - his first since August, 2011 - on 62 minutes and Hugo then denied Sidwell from the penalty spot, the Cottagers' final hope of getting back into the game on 77 minutes.
"We deserved to win," stated Tim. "Matches are always tough at this stage of the season because every team has something to play for.
"Fulham were spirited, kept going, had a threat with Rodallega, Parker and Sidwell were dogged, but we stuck to it, weathered what they had to offer and showed our class in the end.
"It's always important for us to win in front of our fans, to entertain and to score goals so to come away with three points and score another three goals, overall, we're all pleased."

Radio behind weight
loss campaign
The Tipp Mid West Radio Why Weight Management campaign is well underway with seven participants taking the plunge to lose weight sensibly.
The campaign was initiated by radio presenter Breda Ryan, who struggled with weight gain for years and finally lost the weight she wanted over the last two years.
Nora Barron from Cashel, Mary Kavanagh and Marie O Connell from Tipperary Town, Breda Cleary, Oola, Catriona Devlin, Annacarty, Bill Cussen from Galbally and Shane Egan from Clonmel have all taken on the challenge to lose weight and be healthier. In week one the group collectively lost 29lbs and in the second week 34lbs; that's 63lbs in total for two weeks.
Marie O'Connell said she found it challenging to get out for walks and had to push herself to do the exercise but that she feels great afterwards. "The easiest part has been cutting down my portion sizes. dDinking lots of water helps," To follow the participants progress go to Facebook, wieghtandstyle or tune into Breda's breakfast show.

ST. LOUIS (KMOV) – Neighbors fighting for the closure of a sex club in south St. Louis won a battle Wednesday night.
The club is promoted as a private torture chamber where couples can tie up and whip each other.
The club lost its permit Wednesday, and the owner is not fighting to get it back.
Over the summer, the club owner showed News 4 the facility and said that his intention was to put on safety classes and demonstrations in bondage and sadomasochism where couples can tie up, whip and cage each other.
The city granted a permit for educational safety seminars, but Alderman Craig Schmid and some in the neighborhood took issue with that.
The club can appeal the appeal, but sources say the owner testified in favor of revoking the permit because he's going to move anyway.

As the rumor mill churns into full gear regarding the next Windows release (code-named Longhorn), several analysts are predicting that Microsoft will again miss a deadline, requiring an interim Windows release between now and Longhorn's estimated 2005 delivery date. However, I've been arguing since January that Microsoft will need to deliver at least one interim release—if only because consumers expect a new Windows version each holiday season. For 2002, that release is a new Windows XP version that includes XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) baked in. But for 2003 and 2004 ... well, time will tell.
Regardless of Longhorn's timing and the availability of any interim Windows releases, Microsoft has other important software products and servers coming in the months ahead. This week, I look at some of these products and discuss how they might benefit you and your corporation.
XP Tablet PC Edition - November 2002
Many people misunderstood my June 2002 Tablet PC review: I'm actually very impressed with both the hardware and Microsoft's XP Tablet PC Edition software. However, I think the Tablet PC's data conversion concerns will vex many customers, especially if users keep their data in Microsoft Ink format, as the company expects. Tablet PC is a market waiting to explode, and if Microsoft is right about the so-called "corridor warrior" set, we'll see a new class of laptop computers—excuse me, Tablet PCs—head to the top of the sales chart.
The first generation of Tablet PCs are best-suited to lawyers, doctors, factor workers, or anyone who needs to move between casual writing-style environments and typical, laptop-style PC use. And the tablet-style Tablet PCs, the ones that aren't convertible laptops, are excellent solutions for workers who occasionally work outside the office; users can dock the PC at work and use it like a regular PC or access the device with a stylus and onscreen keyboard elsewhere.
Win.NET Server 2003 - Late 2002/Early 2003
I've written about Windows .NET Server (Win.NET Server) 2003 a lot in UPDATE, and I'll continue to do so in the future, so let's move along to the next product.
SMS 2003 - First Half of 2003
The next version of Systems Management Server (SMS), SMS 2003, will focus on three key areas: support for mobile devices (primarily Pocket PCs), optional Active Directory (AD) integration, and improvements to the product's metering and reporting functionality. Microsoft just shipped SMS 2003 Beta 1, which shows off the product's simplified administration tools for software distribution, asset management, and remote troubleshooting.
I'm excited to see Microsoft tackling Change and Configuration Management (CCM), which I consider to be a crucial management task. But the company's management tools are in flux and, post-SMS 2003, it's unclear how Microsoft will change SMS, Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM), and Application Center 2000. A Microsoft representative told me this summer that the company would integrate the products in some fashion but was still unsure what the results would look like. Perhaps the company will announce more concrete plans at next week's Microsoft Enterprise Conference (MEC) 2002 in Anaheim, California.
Office 11 - Mid-2003
After three lackluster upgrades, Microsoft is serious about Microsoft Office again, and we'll see the first beta release of the next version, Office 11, next week. Office 11 will feature yet another new Office-specific user interface and native support for XML data, which will enable "smart" documents that can update themselves as needed over a network or the Internet. And if that functionality sounds scary, it gets even worse: Office 11 documents can run code over the Internet. That feature will let documents, when opened, check for certain applications on your local system. If the applications aren't available, the document can launch an installer.
Although this feature doesn't sound promising from a security standpoint, especially for those of us still burning from having to fix numerous Microsoft Outlook-borne viruses, we'll need to wait a while for the details. Hopefully, next week's Office 11 Beta 1 release will include some information about the product's XML capabilities and security. But Office 11 will likely feature some major improvements. Stay tuned.
Exchange 2003 Server (Titanium) - Mid 2003
Originally, the Exchange Server release after Exchange 2000 Server was to include the Microsoft SQL-based data store that's part of SQL Server's upcoming Yukon release (see next section). But shifting schedules have changed the Exchange picture, and now we're looking at an interim release, Exchange 2003 Server, in mid-2003. Exchange 2003 will build on the AD changes in Win.NET Server and include as-yet-unnamed collaboration technologies from Office 11. I do know that Exchange 2003 will include an improved Outlook Web Access (OWA) client, Exchange System Manager (ESM) improvements, and support for up to 8-node clustering. The first beta release is due late in 2002.
I suspect Exchange 2003 will see its biggest deployments in shops committed to the Win.NET Server generation of products (Exchange 2000 won't install on Win.NET Server). As with Office 11, we'll need to wait until the first beta release to see whether the new features are worth the upgrade.
SQL Server 2003 (Yukon) - Late 2003
In late 2003, Microsoft will unleash the Yukon version of SQL Server, which the company will market as SQL Server 2003. This release will feature "deep XML, SOAP, and .NET CLR (Common Language Runtime) integration," according to Microsoft, and true language independence for stored procedures. SQL Server 2003 will also include a special version of the Visual Studio .NET development environment so that developers need to learn only one environment, as well as various self-healing and self-management technologies.
The biggest news about SQL Server 2003 is that this release marks the next generation of Microsoft enterprise products: Its underlying data storage technology will form the basis of the Longhorn file system and AD version, the next Exchange Server version (post-Titanium), and every other Microsoft product that requires storage of some sort. This release is important for many reasons and is certainly a product to watch.
Looking forward, I'm interested in any stories about XP SP1 rollouts. If you've deployed XP SP1, please let me know how it went.

With an absent father and working mother, James McDuffie, now 36, had no one to take him to school every day.
"I promised myself I would be there for my kids, for all their events and school ceremonies," said McDuffie, who cuts hair in his Chicago home and arranges his appointments around his children's school schedule.
McDuffie was one of thousands of men who participated in the national Million Father March by taking their children to school on the first day of classes Tuesday. He managed to get his five children, ages 5 to 13, ready in less than an hour for their walk around the corner to Paderewski Elementary Learning Academy on the West Side.

As the number of files you create in Excel increases, you may want to come up with some system for organizing files. The easiest way is to set up folders on the hard disk that contain related files. For example, you might have a folder for budget workbooks and another one for sales workbooks. You also might have a folder for each of the projects on which you are working.

HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) — A snowstorm has delayed the start of Maryland School Assessment standardized testing in at least some of the state's 24 school districts.
The Maryland State Department of Education had scheduled the tests to be administered statewide from Monday through March 12. But schools across the state were closed Monday by a winter storm.
A department spokesman says there is plenty of time built into the test calendar for districts to adjust their test schedules.
Baltimore City Public Schools says it's postponing the start of testing from Tuesday to Wednesday. The district says missed tests can be made up Friday, and next week's testing will be back on the original schedule.
This round of tests is for reading and mathematics in grades 3 through 8.

We should thank David Goldwasser for his service on the school board, which is so vital to our community life. David's not running again, so his seat will be filled in the election on May 19, when we also vote on the school budget.
So far the field is wide open, District Clerk Jana Atwell tells me. She encourages anyone who's interested to consider running. The first step is to swing by her office at the school and pick up an information packet put out by the state.
To become a candidate all you need to do is get 25 signatures on a petition, which you can also pick up in Jana's office. Once you've got the signatures, return the petition to Jana's office by April 20 at 4 p.m. Then you'll be on the ballot. The term is five years.
As for the budget, the school board is still working hard on it, diligently fitting together all those unfunded state mandates in the most cost-effective way they can. There's a special budget meeting coming up on Monday, March 30 at 6 p.m. in the school library, when the public is invited to comment on the proposed budget. The budget will be adopted at the regular meeting in April, before being decided by voters on May 19.
Meanwhile, the search for a new school superintendent is proceeding apace. The board solicited the community for a group of "stakeholders" (representatives from groups like the Youth Commission, the Town Board, the Fire Dept. the PTO, the Student Council, etc.) which has been putting together a list of interview questions. The school board will review applications at a special meeting on April 23, come up with a list of candidates, and begin the interview process.
The best way to get involved in any of this is to come to board meetings. They're generally the second Thursday of the month, in the school library at 6:30 p.m. (upcoming meetings are posted at the school website).
A reminder-the WCS Drama Club is putting on "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," in the school auditorium on March 27 and 28 at 7 p.m. and March 29 at 3 p.m. In addition to all the talented performers I mentioned last week, the inimitable Russell Ames will be playing piano, which is always worth far more than the price of admission all by itself.
If you're not at the play on Saturday, March 28, come to Dogwood Bakery for the Pizza Night fundraiser for the Wadhams Free Library. Delicious wood-fired pizza, tasty salads, and scrumptious desserts. Tickets are $15 for adults, $7.50 twelve and under. You can buy them at Dogwood, either in advance or at the door. This is always a great event.

Paid Apps in the App Catalog Triple-Confirmed for Next Week, 1.2 too
Palm is sticking to their regular schedule of unloading apps on Thursdays, but next Thursday, Sept 24th, will be extra special as, yes Virginia, you'll be able to pay for apps. We mentioned it Saturday and confirmed it on Tuesday, but here's one more piece of confirmation pie: a very-slightly-embiggened version of the pdf just posted at All Things D.
Developers get paid via PayPal on a 70/30 split. The ability to upload apps will cost developers $99 a year, but the lucky beta participants only need to chip in a token $5 for this first year.
Also, say goodbye to public download counts in webOS 1.2. webOS 1.2, you ask? Yes, we're still expecting it sometime next week and you could do worse than guess it'll land on the 24th, same as paid apps.
Now, it's always possible that Palm could decide to push things back a week for some extra spit and polish - the hour-long series of App Catalog bugs that came with yesterday's batch of apps is definitely something Palm won't want repeated on such a big day. Either way, we think that Thursday morning would be a good time to remove those tweaks and patches.
Thanks again, anonymous tipsters!

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney named Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as his vice presidential running mate on Saturday morning, calling him a man of "great steadiness" and "unquestioned integrity."
When introducing Ryan, Romney announced campaign promises for budget cuts, and, "to help create 12 million new jobs and to bring better take-home pay to middle class families."
But online, several Twitter users are humming a different tune. Tweeting under the hashtag "#romneyryanmovies," many expressed their disdain over Romney's appointment, re-working well-known movie titles to fire a sarcastic jab at the Republican duo.
A user who identifies as "Beavis H. Presley," or @snarkbox, started the trend, tweeting "Abandoning Private Ryan #RomneyRyanMovies" at 6:08 a.m. Some other notable entries? "To Kill a Medicare," "Risky Businessmen," "Dope Springs," "No Country for Old People," and, predictably, "50 Shades of White."
Regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum, the tweets are good for a laugh.

September 01, 2010
September marks the seventh annual National Preparedness Month. This year's event focuses on encouraging Americans to work together to take concrete actions toward emergency preparedness in their homes, businesses, and communities.
The Ready Campaign is a year-round public service advertising campaign of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Produced in partnership with the Citizens Corps and the Ad Council, it aims to educate and empower Americans to prepare for, and respond to, natural disasters, potential terrorist attacks, and other emergencies.
An NPM Coalition composed of public- and private-sector organizations works to promote a culture of preparedness across the country. As an NPM Coalition member, the AVMA is committed to sharing preparedness information with its members and the public.
The AVMA maintains a Disaster Preparedness page here that includes detailed disaster-planning resources for small and large animals.
To help share information about the campaign with readers, the AVMA has added an NPM gadget to the Disaster Preparedness page that links to resources for individuals and businesses, including a family emergency plan template, and invites organizations to join the coalition.
Some of the relevant things the AVMA has recently done for members were developing an emergency action plan for the 2010 AVMA Annual Convention, presenting a Veterinary Medical Assistance Teams booth at the convention, and presenting disaster-preparedness sessions during the convention. For the human health care sector and the general public, staff presented a talk on AVMA leadership in disaster and emergency preparedness for the profession, during a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Clinician Outreach and Communication Activities webinar and conference call in July.
The campaign's websites—www.ready.gov and www.listo.gov—provide Americans with free emergency preparedness information, such as assembling an emergency kit, developing a family emergency plan, and being informed. The toll-free numbers are 800-BE-READY, TTY 800-462-7585, and 888-SE-LISTO.
Citizen Corps is FEMA's grassroots strategy to unite government and community leaders and involve citizens in all-hazards emergency preparedness and resilience. Learn more about Citizen Corps at www.citizencorps.gov.

Our Services
Full Mouth Restorations
Some people have extensive dental issues that require comprehensive treatment with a final result that improves both function and aesthetic. Such patients may have numerous missing teeth, many teeth with large fillings that are failing or exhibiting decay, cracked or broken teeth, or badly worn teeth due to grinding. There is also a group of patients who were born with conditions that need extensive restoration of their teeth.
As the name implies, full mouth reconstruction refers to rebuilding and/or replacing all of the teeth in a patient's mouth. Full mouth reconstructions combine esthetics with the science of restorative dentistry to improve the health, function, and beauty of the mouth.
Mouth Guard
Our dentists commonly recommend mouth guards to help with nighttime grinding (which can lead to significant tooth decay), as well as to prevent sports injuries. They are normally worn just on the upper teeth. When considering a mouth guard, there are two primary options.
Although readily accessible and inexpensive, we do not recommend purchasing a ready-to-wear guard in a store. Very little can be done to adjust their fit, they are bulky, make breathing and talking difficult, and they provide little or no protection.
Custom mouth guards are individually designed by our office, in coordination with a dental laboratory. The process consists of taking an impression of your teeth, which we forward to a special laboratory where the guard is molded over the model using a special material. Due to the use of the special material and because of the extra time and work involved, a custom-made mouth guard is more expensive than the other types, but it provides the most comfort and protection.
Root Canal
Root canal therapy is performed when tooth decay (an infection) has travelled down the pulp of the tooth and has damaged nerves and blood vessels. During a root canal, your doctor would clear sufficient tooth surface and remove enough pulp, after which they would clean and seal the infection, and likely add a crown on top of the tooth.
Cavities are holes in the surface of teeth which that can only be repaired by a dentist. They are the result of a variety of factors, including improper brushing and flossing, and over consumption of sugary foods. Below are the various materials and approaches we take to restore a decayed tooth.
Composite (White) FillingsA Composite filling is a white (tooth colored) resin material that bonds to tooth structure, that is used now in place of amalgam 'silver' fillings to provide a strong and cosmetically pleasing tooth restoration. Because a silver filling requires a "mechanical lock" to stay in place, dentist's usually have to drill a shape larger than the decay itself. Because of the adhesive chemistry of white fillings and the fact that they bond to teeth, no additional shape has to be drilled once access to the decay has been made. The end result is usually a much smaller filling and a stronger tooth because the bonding helps "glue" or reinforce the weak parts of the tooth.
Porcelain Inlays/Onlays
Inlays/Onlays vs. CrownsThe difference between Inlays, Onlays and Crowns is the amount of tooth structure they replace. Restorations which cover the entire tooth are called Crowns (commonly known as caps). Whenever possible, it is better to place an Inlay or an Onlay on a tooth because it is more conservative and requires less reduction of your natural tooth. Placing a crown on a tooth requires removing more healthy tooth structure than an Inlay or Onlay, which increases the chances of the tooth requiring a root canal in the future. Inlays and Onlays also help preserve gum and periodontal health, in that they can be bonded well above the gum line, allowing for easy cleansing and less irritation. A Crown, alternatively, is a good restorative option when a tooth has had a previous root canal or the tooth has insufficient healthy tooth structure remaining to protect it from fracturing.
Crowns & Bridges
Dental crowns are porcelain or porcelain fused to metal restorations used primarily to repair broken or fractured teeth, improve the prognosis for a tooth that has had previous root canal therapy, or change the shape or color of a tooth. When damage to a person's teeth is extreme, and beyond repair, we can use porcelain or porcelain "fused on gold" crowns to restore the smile. This is an extremely reliable technique for repairing the most severe of dental problems, even permanently replacing missing teeth to offer a complete smile and a functional bite.
A bridge fills a space where a tooth once was, and is generally three or more crowns fused together.
Getting white teeth for that great smile isn't easy. Let's face it – nearly all of the tasty foods we eat may possibly stain our teeth. Even if you brush your teeth after every meal, you'll find that your teeth can't get as white as you'd like.Tooth whitening is an affordable and effective way to combat common causes of tooth discoloration, while boosting your self-confidence and improving your appearance. It has been said that the easiest and least expensive way to look ten years younger is to whiten your teeth. We offer two whitening systems to fit our patients' lifestyles and budget considerations.
In-Office Whitening
Many factors, including dietary habits (drinking coffee, tea, soda, and red wine) and certain medications, affect the whiteness of your smile, and when you require a significant shade change, we suggest an in-office whitening, which is a chemically activated treatment that offers amazing results in about an hour. This dentist-supervised, in-office procedure is safe and effective, and offers a brighter, whiter smile after just one appointment.
Take Home Whitening Kit
When you need to maintain your existing pearly whites, or if you're just looking to change 1-2 shades, we suggest a take home kit with whitening gels, which are delivered via customized bleaching trays. The sticky, viscous gel won't migrate to gums, and most formulations (of both in-office & take-home kits) include Potassium Fluoride (PF), which helps to improve oral health by strengthening enamel, decreasing sensitivity, and offering increased cavity prevention. Take Home Whitening Gels can provide results after just one night, though expect to see results in about a week.
Before using either system, patients should have a comprehensive exam and cleaning done to evaluate if they are a good candidate for such whitening methods. Some patients are not ideal candidates, due to reasons such as the presence of crowns or other cosmetic dental work. Natural teeth will lighten, but crowns, veneers, and bondings will not.
Dental implants are tiny titanium posts which are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. In addition, implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration which occurs when teeth are missing. Implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth.
Our office has extensive expertise in placing implants, in placing the Implant Crown to its most natural and functional form.
Dental Veneers
Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that are bonded directly to the front of each tooth. They can reshape teeth, change tooth color, close spaces, and fix worn or chipped teeth to create a white, beautiful, and uniform smile. They are an ideal choice for improving your smile and have become increasingly popular due to their simplicity and versatility. When bonded to the teeth, the ultra-thin porcelain veneers are virtually undetectable and highly resistant to coffee, tea, or even cigarette stains. For strength and appearance, their resemblance to healthy, white tooth enamel is unsurpassed by other restorative options. Placing custom veneers requires a high degree of technical skill as well as attention to cosmetic detail.
Our office has had extensive training in the treatment planning and placement of custom veneers. She takes extra care to design each case individually to match and enhance the characteristics of each patient's smile.
Dental Emergency
A dental emergency can strike you any time, and when what you're feeling is excruciating pain, you can't just ignore it – it's nearly impossible, after all.
Vaksman Dental Group can assist with your dental emergencies. Whether you're suffering from excruciating pain in your teeth or need to have a cracked or broken tooth extracted immediately, our dentist will accommodate you and give you the dental care and service you require.
Our dental office uses cutting edge dental technology to provide immediate and continuing care for each of our patients. You're in good hands with Vaksman Dental Group.
Ever wondered if you can get your teeth straightened without having to deal with an embarrassing set of metal braces? Apart from the embarrassment when you sport that toothy metal smile, traditional braces can also prevent you from eating the food you love. For a majority of patients, we suggest Invisalign braces to correct a variety of issues, including over and underbite. For even more information CLICK HERE.
The advantages of Invisalign:
Removable: So you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are no problem.
Comfortable: Because it has no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor's office getting adjustments.
Aesthetic: These aligners are clear and more aesthetically pleasing than conventional braces. Most people will not even notice that you are wearing any sort of dental appliance.
The disadvantages of Invisalign:
Severe Crowding: Not all patients are good candidates for Invisalign. If your teeth are too crowded and require more aggressive orthodontic treatment, then conventional braces may be a better option. Your Invisalign dentist will discuss your options with you during your consultation.
Compliance: Metal braces stay are not removable, whereas Invisalign is removable. While this adds flexibility It is essential for the patient to wear the aligners regularly to obtain the desired results. As teeth are constantly moving, it is important for the aligners to be worn as directed to obtain quicker and optimum results.
When many of your teeth are loose or painful, they may be beyond saving. This condition is usually caused by advanced periodontal disease. If you are not a good candidate for implants, then removing your teeth and replacing them with a denture may be the best way to eliminate the infection and restore the health of your mouth. Periodontal disease causes bone to be lost; if it's not caught in time, there's so little support for the teeth that they have to be removed.
A Full Denture replaces all the missing teeth in the upper and lower jaw. When the entire procedure is completed in one day, it's called an Immediate Denture. A Partial Denture is a removable dental appliance that replaces multiple missing teeth. It can be attached to the teeth with clasps (metal or tooth colored) or it can be attached to the teeth with crowns with precision attachments (hidden clasps). An Implant Overdenture is a denture that has some sort of direct connection to dental implants. The connection helps secure the Full Denture into place, while overcoming the instability and lack of retention of a common complete denture. This is a good treatment option for an individual who requires a full denture, but wants to achieve a more stable and less bulky type of restoration.
Cleaning & Exam
More commonly known as gum disease, "periodontitis" can cause serious damage if not treated immediately. A bacterial infection in this area is what causes gum disease to occur and can lead to weakening of the bone and possibly tooth loss. Gum disease is best treated in its earliest stage, known as gingivitis. During this stage, your gums will become red, inflamed or swollen. Many times, this inflammation can be attributed to the bacteria found in plaque, the sticky film that can form on the teeth. However, gum inflammation can be caused by many other factors, including medical conditions, poor nutrition, smoking and even stress. Even with red, swollen gums, you may feel little discomfort, which causes many people to ignore the warning signs of periodontal disease. With treatment from your dentist or periodontist and proper oral hygiene, the effects of gingivitis on your teeth and gums can be reversed. The more advanced stage of gum disease is called periodontitis. Periodontitis comes in two main forms: aggressive and chronic. With aggressive periodontitis, otherwise healthy patients experience accelerated bone deterioration. On the other hand, chronic periodontitis is the more common form that progresses at a slower pace but still requires immediate treatment.
Periodontal disease can be treated several ways, depending on how advanced it is. Non-surgical treatments may include prescription mouth rinses or scaling and root planning. For those with periodontitis, surgical treatments may be recommended, such as soft tissue grafts, pocket reduction or bone regeneration.
If necessary, we may suggest preventive care options that include fluoride treatment, sealants, professional breath control, and periodontal (gum disease) treatments designed to help you maintain your smile's health and beauty. Of course, the best treatment for periodontal disease is prevention. This means brushing and flossing daily, along with regular visits to your dentist for dental cleanings and examination, which can ward off gum disease and keep your smile healthy now and in the future.

It is important for the gamblers to first learn all the rules, tricks and tips of the game before they actually start to play Australian pokies with real money. Following are some of the popular games with a brief description about the rules of the game:
- Bingo – It is one of the most exciting games due to its simplicity and involvement in the game. The gamblers in this game are required to match a certain pattern of numbers which comes with the playing card. The card used by players in the Bingo game has a 5 x 5 matrix. The players using this matrix are required to make the combination of letters making B-I-N-G-O. Then whoever achieves this target first wins the Bingo game and also the money for which he was playing for.
- Baccarat – Baccarat is another popular casino game where the gamblers are given three options to choose from, which are: player, banker and the tie. The participating players in the first step are required to place their bets and after that the game dealer distributes two card hands to each of the participants which are the Player and the Banker card hands. In the next step, all of the card hands are counted and if the total sum drops over 10 then the 10 is dropped and if it is on ten then it means a 0 or it means Baccarat. The player who wins the Baccarat game would have the highest of the two card hands and would win both; the game and the bet money as well.
- Blackjack – You can take after a strong blackjack framework which will guarantee that you don't bust frequently. Trick sheets can be utilized within different varieties of circumstances and on the off chance that you take after some fundamental tips and systems, it is not extremely hard to win reliably and bring home the bacon and a stable pay playing blackjack. Before you even start playing blackjack in a true clubhouse, you need some blackjack strategy for a consistent income. You can discover free blackjack diversions all over on the web today.

Hahn not afraid of big moments
Three-point specialist again proved worth off bench in big spots
HOUSTON --- Zach Hahn believes he belongs on the biggest stage of college basketball.
So when this Butler senior guard started hitting 3-pointers as if they were no big deal Saturday night in the national semifinals against Virginia Commonwealth, he didn't surprise himself.
He was simply doing his job. Hahn stepped up at a point in the game when Butler desperately needed him. The shooting percentage for the Bulldogs from beyond the arc was nothing to write home about early in the second half (17 percent), but Hahn turned the tide for Butler.
He hit two treys and made a layup as the Bulldogs picked up momentum and went on to end the Rams' season with a 70-62 in front of a frenzied crowd at Reliant Stadium.
Hahn finished with eight points and helped Butler advance to the national championship game for the second consecutive year.
"My teammates did a great job of finding me. I just made plays to knock down the shots I got," Hahn said.
Butler trailed 38-36 with 15 minutes to play after Jamie Skeen drilled a long-distance shot. That's when Hahn, who came in shooting 32.6 percent from long range and had made 44 3-pointers on the year, took his game up a notch.
His first trey put the Bulldogs up 39-38, the second gave Butler a 42-41 edge. Then came the reverse layup that thrilled the fans and put the Bulldogs in front for good at 44-43.

It seemed to energize the rest of the team, particularly Shelvin Mack, who knocked down a couple of 3-pointers and stretched the Butler lead to 50-45 with under 10 minutes to play in the game.
Mack finished with 24 points to pace the Bulldogs, who shot 35.6 percent from the floor and nailed eight of their 23 attempts from beyond the arc against the Rams (28-12), who went from the First Four to the Final Four as an 11th seed.
"Zach did a great job," Mack said. "He hasn't been able to make shots all of the time but he stays positive. Me and my teammates are doing a great job of getting him the ball where he can have success."
Head coach Brad Stevens was thrilled that Hahn had a chance to shine on this stage. He has seen the work ethic Hahn has displayed throughout his career and was not surprised that the veteran rose to the occasion when it mattered most for the eighth-seeded Bulldogs.
"There are certain guys that think they should be playing in these games," Stevens said. "Zach is one of those guys. He just as a mindset of, you know, when I'm open, I'm gonna make it. I'm gonna take the big ones."
Hahn has been Butler's top scorer off the bench the past two seasons and came to Butler as an All-State guard out of Chrysler High School in New Castle, Ind.
And while he has never averaged more than 5.2 points per game, he has never doubted his ability to perform at a high level.
Saturday's national semifinal was a case in point. Hahn shot 3-of-6 from the floor and also grabbed four rebounds in the win, the 14th consecutive for the Bulldogs.
"I was a good scorer in high school, but I've really developed into a great 3-point shooter at Butler," Hahn said. "I've worked hard and deserve the success I have had. The big thing is that I've become a good leader and I've learned to step up and make big shots when I get an opportunity."
Hahn could have easily struggled the whole night. He was 0-for-3 from the field in the first half, all three shots coming from 3-point range. Of course, no one else on the team was shooting much better. The Bulldogs shot 33.1 percent from the field in the first half and went a miserable 3-of-13 from beyond the arc.
Still, Butler managed to hold a 34-28 lead at the half.
As for Hahn, well, good shooters never lose their confidence. He took that philosophy to heart in the second half.
"Steve Kerr told me he liked the way I shot the ball at the Final Four Salute," Hahn said. "That gave me a lot of confidence. I wasn't worried about why my shots weren't going down. I was focused more on finding a way to shoot better in the second half."
It worked and now Butler will get a chance to play for the championship it came so close to winning a year ago. Butler lost to Duke 61-59. It has never forgotten how it felt to fall short.
"We're not going to settle for just winning this game," Hahn said. "We have a sour taste from last year, and now we have a chance to win it all. That is what really counts."

Most of us can remember sitting cross-legged with friends, an Ouija Board balanced on our knees, asking the divine spirits questions about our futures, and accusing other players of pushing the pointer. Countless hours have been spent puzzling over the mystery of the Ouija Board, and although having an actual Ouija Board is still popular, there has been a recent push toward online uses. If you type "Ouija Board Online" into any search engine, you are likely to get hundreds of thousands of hits for sites all having access to an online Ouija Board. These talking boards work in much the same way that traditional boards do with all the same ouija board rules, though they can be played alone at the computer.
There is a huge cult following for paranormal studies right now. Between television shows chronicling the activities of ghost hunters, and a genuine interest in life after death, there is a huge interest in trying to figure out the unknown. Spirit boards are no exception. People have been trying to commune with the dead since the beginning of time, and Ouija Boards have given then average person a means to do this. While the Ouija Board may have changed over the decades, the purpose behind it remains the same.
While the Ouija Boards most of us are familiar with are marketed by Hasbro as a board game, there has been some form or another of talking boards around for centuries. As early as 1100 A.D., forms of spirit boards were used in China to communicate with the dead. The form of Ouija Board most of us know and remember was originally created in 1890, however, and was considered nothing more than a parlor game at dinner parties. They have since been portrayed in many movies, including the 1980's horror movie Witchboard, which warns against ever using a Ouija Board alone to contact a spirit.
Online versions of Ouija Boards, however, allow users to ask questions without having more than one participant. Most work by simply typing a question into a space on the site, then moving the mouse over the planchette to answer the questions posed to the board's spirit. You can use different websites to pose simple yes or no questions to the board, or to ask specific questions about names, places, numbers, or dates. These online Ouija sites are usually free to use, though some sites require payment to pose questions to otherworldly spirits.
Though Ouija Boards have evolved over the centuries, people's fascination with the occult and the paranormal certainly hasn't wavered. Ever since the beginning of time, people have been trying to find answers to questions regarding life, death, and the unknown, and have certainly tried to find ways to communicate with the dead. As far back as Ancient Egypt, people have believed in some sort of afterlife. While we don't necessarily build tombs filled with items to make our transition to the afterlife more pleasant, we still try to find ways to connect and communicate with people who have passed on, and we will always continue to search for answers to the meaning of life and what the future may hold in store for us.
- "Ouija" is a registered name of Parker brothers. The generic term is 'Talking boards'. Since the Nineties, the Ouija board's level of popularity has declined significantly, and today sales are just a small percentage of what they were during the 1970s.
- A number of religions consider such "spirit summoning" to be prohibited, a type of divination or occultism. For the rest of the world, it is yet another manifestation of superstition.

Spoke with the Trap Lord himself for Exclaim! Topics discussed include Johnny Depp's influence on his rapping, how he got into Southern rap, and his first ever verse.
You went to an arts and design high school, you made chains and designed clothes. Why is aesthetic in rap important to you? Aesthetic is definitely important because people can easily not get your point of view. I feel like a lot of problems with rappers, why they don't work, is not that the music is not good. You have to have the whole package together for people to believe. Your believers are buying into your album because they are buying into your lifestyle. If you're hollow on the inside and people don't see what you look like, how can they want to be like you? They want to relate to you. That's why they buy into your merch, or things you wear, because they want to feel like they're part of you. If you don't got that straight, and it's not matching up to the music, you're doomed.

When it comes to playing a Mario game, power-ups are usually something that most people take for granted. I mean, the various costumes that Mario comes across allow Mario to do some amazing things like shoot fire, fly through the air, or even breathe underwater.
Artist Glen Brogan put together this amazing piece of art showcasing all of Mario's costumes he's come across throughout all of his travels. The attention to detail in this piece is also amazing as Glen even goes so far as to include the exact hats & shoes to go along with an outfit.
'Mario's Closet' is currently up on Splitreason to possibly be made into a t-shirt, so if you want to own this piece on your chest, then make sure to vote for it.

"The rare Spirit of 76 at Kindman was very impressive. The popcorn-sized buds in the sample jar all had a hint of purple under a slathering of sandy-colored crystals. In the shop, I got a strange, fruit-punchy Bubba Kush smell, but at home it had more of a grapey-lavender finish. Smoked, the potent little buds had a sweet, earthy taste and were great for mellowing out and easing anxiety after a stressful day. I also was struck with a mean case of the munchies soon after puffing a bowl, despite the fact that I had just finished a meal. At $25 an eighth, it was a perfect purchase, and one Ive been back for many times."

Erbanna Is the Line of Bags That Weed Smokers Don't Even Know How Badly They Need
Having an organized and stylish place to keep your weed that you can leave out in plain sight is an option any adult deserves.
Ah, I'm so jealous!. I need to go on an exciting vacation sometime soon.
I know you said you didn't want to go the "running shoes" way when you are abroad, but honestly, what could be better than that? Maybe in DC everyone's wearing bulky weird sneakers and not cool ones and that's why it's given you a sour taste in your mouth. I'm a really big fan of Puma sneakers and every time I've had to do anything remotely outdoorsy in the past 10 years, I end up wearing my favorite sneakers. (Well, back then I wore sneakers everyday anyways, but still.)
Maya Satin Sneaker $30, Puma
They're super lightweight, breathable and have a good tread on the bottom. If these aren't really your steez, maybe you'd be more into the classic Adidas Samba style? They're suede so they won't be as breathable, but they're cuter and they'll definitely be just as comfortable.
Samba W Sneaker $60, Adidas
Having said that, these two sneaker styles are not my #1 choice for you. While I was on the Puma website, I came across a shoe that I think will really fulfill all your needs and beyond.
Zandy Ballerina Flats $70, Puma
Sneaker-y ballet flats can often be kind of weird, but these are made to brave the pavement so I think their weirdness is justified (and well-developed, I think these are actually really cute!). According to the website, they feature a "moisture-wicking lining and antimicrobial EcoOrthoLite (whatever that is) footbed for oder prevention and long-term cushioning," which sounds to me like they would be PERFECT for your travels. They come in a couple other colors, but I like the "quiet sophistication" of the putty color. Bonus! These will look really great with dresses too.
Also, I had to Google Keen sandals–YOWZA!–but, if they're really the best thing to travel in then I feel like you might have to forgo the cute shoe idea and bite the comfort bullet.
La Paz Strap Sandals $70, Keen
These aren't bad at all!
Except that the thought of traveling and doing a lot of walking with exposed toes (you knew it was coming!) in a FOREIGN country is making me hyperventilate extra. And there aren't socks cute enough that could ever make this look work. Proceed at your own risk!
I still think the lil' Puma flats are kinda the best thing ever, non?

Chocolate Avocado Smoothies (raw & dairy free)
I have to come clean here: making avocados into a smoothie seems a bit of a waste of a good avocado to me. I love the texture and flavour of this princely fruit but actually like them best just as they are, on toast or with slices tossed into a salad or mashed up in guacamole or this avocado and egg dip. But when an octet of Peruvian avocados winged their way to me it seemed like an ideal time to experiment.
Intuitively a dairy-free option seemed like the way to go. Ideally I would have used coconut water as the liquid, but I didn't have any to hand. I had a look at coconut and almond milk options, but they were all full of sugar, vegetable fats and other additives. If only I'd read Janie's post on making your own almond milk before going ahead, but I didn't. In the end I resorted to a tin of coconut milk. To keep things as Peruvian as possible I used maca and raw cacao powder both grown in Peru. The maple syrup, oats and banana may have come from a different continent, but honour, I felt, had been served.
Talking of serving, how did the smoothies turn out? Really rather well. Thick and creamy, rich and chocolatey, healthy too; we had them for breakfast and they kept us going for several hours. Result.
- 1 large Peruvian Hass avocado
- 1 large banana – peeled
- 2 tbsp rolled oats
- 1 tsp maca powder
- 1 tbsp raw Peruvian cacao powder from Indigo Herbs.
- ½ tin coconut milk (fresh would be best)
- 2 tsp (or to taste) maple syrup
- water

Spelt Cocoa Breads with Avocado Egg Filling
If there was one crop other than lemons I wish we could grow easily in the UK, it would be avocados. I would have an orchard full of them. Not only are they buttery and delicious, but they are also quite good for you. High in potassium, the unsaturated fats are said to be healthy ones and they are relatively low in calories.
When I was sent a basket of ripe Peruvian Hass avocados, to say I was pleased was an understatement. I hadn't known such bounty since CT and I worked on an avocado farm during our antipodean travels many years ago. We ate the fruit for breakfast, lunch and dinner. So in remembrance of times past, we cut into one almost immediately and had it spread on toast, just as we used to back on the farm when we used it as a butter substitute. Oh, how delicous. These avocados were particularly tasty with a gimme more creamy texture.
Guacamole has long been a favourite of mine and makes for a very tasty vegan dip and accompaniment to all sorts of dishes. But I also find avocados have an affinity to eggs – maybe it's the shape. One of my favourite party dips is an egg and avocado one and as I hadn't made this for ages, I thought it was about time it was resurrected. What better accompaniment than some homemade bread, juicy sweet homegrown tomatoes and some crisp lettuce.
The pitta pockets exhaled a chocolate fragrance on opening and were resileint enough to hold the contents. They had a soft and inviting texture and although thick were not in the least bit leathery – way better than any shop bought pitta breads I've had. The chocolate pitta also did a grand job of mopping up the juices of a vegetable stew. The avocado and egg dip was as delicious as I remember it. We both felt we could eat this again and again.
Cooking with Herbs over at Lavender and Lovage is all about chives this month, so although I've already sent one entry, I couldn't resist sending this one too.

Chocolate Lavender Parfait – Random Recipes
This month Dashing Dom has joined forces with Krazy Kavey in a chilling combination of Random Recipes and Bloggers Scream for Ice Cream. Now that Autumn has descended on us rather earlier than expected, ice-cream is no longer top of my list of desired desserts. However, ice-cream and frozen desserts are what we've been tasked to make, so I gritted my teeth and went to interrogate Eat Your Books. This is my preferred method of selecting my books for these Random Recipe occasions.
This time I limited the search to my chocolate books, which I was somewhat surprised to see has reached the grand total of seventeen. Ultimate: the Green and Black's New Collection was the book randomly selected. I haven't looked at this tome in such a long time that I was pleased to renew my acquaintance. It turns out it contains quite a few ice-cream recipes as well as a recipe for chocolate parfait – a frozen dessert which I've never made before. I decided to make half the quantity as I didn't have much space in the freezer; this meant I needed about 60g of dark chocolate. Now it just so happens that I had 70g of dark lavender chocolate lying about; I'd found this too strong and soapy to eat on its own, so it was awaiting just such an occasion as this. Lavender chocolate works wonderfully well when incorporated into other recipes, I reckon. The parfait recipe included coffee, but as I was adding lavender, I omitted this.
This is how I made:
Chocolate Lavender Parfait
- Whipped 150g double cream to soft peaks using hand beaters.
- Separated two large eggs, putting the yolks into a bowl and the whites into the fridge for some future use.
- Warmed 75 ml water in a small pan and dissolved 60g golden caster sugar in it.
- Notched up the heat and boiled the syrup for 2 minutes, then turned the heat off.
- Added 70g chopped dark lavender chocolate (72%) and left to melt.
- Beat the egg yolks with the hand held beaters, then slowly poured in the chocolate syrup beating all the while. Carried on beating until the mixture was almost cool.
- Beat in 1 dessertspoon of cognac, then folded in the whipped cream.
- Divided the mixture between four ramekin dishes and placed in the freezer.
To be honest I'm not terribly sure what the difference between a parfait and ice-cream is technically, but it's a very good way of making a no-churn frozen dessert. It was velvety smooth and not a shard of ice crystal could be detected. It's very rich and truly decadent, but the soupçon of lavender keeps it tasting fresh and prevents it from cloying on the palate as some creamy confections can do. The cognac gave a welcome hint of sophistication and brought out the other flavours. This is a perfect use for lavender chocolate and a brilliant make ahead dessert I can now knock up for future dinner parties.
This chocolate parfait is being entered into random ice cream – the joint Random Recipes and Bloggers Scream for Ice Cream event hosted over at Belleau Kitchen and Kavey Eats.
A healthy dose of cognac makes this dessert crazy enough for me, so I am entering it into Baking with Spirit over at Cake of the Week where Janine has asked us to all go crazy.
I'm also sending this off to Lucy's #CookBlogShare over at Supergolden Bakes.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Crispies – Salty & Sweet Crunchy Delights
My mother-in-law has a penchant for Reece's Peanut Butter Cups – well who doesn't? So along with the chocolate marshmallow crispies I made for our trip up to the New Forest a couple of weeks ago, I also made some chocolate peanut butter crispies. The recipe for these comes from the same book, Mast Brothers Chocolate: a family cookbook and goes by the name of chocolate crunch. The combination of chocolate peanut butter and crisped rice sounded too good to miss.
Spiced Roasted Summer Vegetable Salad with Millet, Peas and Lentils
We've been blessed with a good summer this year and my how we needed it after seven months of solid rain. Along with the good weather comes the picnic season. Eating outside with simple food that hasn't meant hours spent in the kitchen is what many of us are after – I know I am.
Rich Chocolate Scones
It's International Scone Week over at Fig Jam and Lime Cordial. Now in it's fifth year, I'm quite shocked to find that I haven't participated since 2012. If you ever need a scone recipe, Celia's annual round-ups of all sorts of scones from bloggers around the world is a must.
Raspberry and White Chocolate Blondies
Plum and Walnut Pizza
Ages ago, I saw a fabulous post for a fruit dessert pizza over at Peaches Please and was immediately struck by the idea. I had been sent some plums from South Africa so the time was right to try a plum pizza. Some of you may recall the plum and amaretto ice-cream I made with these very same plums way back when, so I had high hopes. I was also keen to try making pizza dough with white chocolate which I thought would suit this fruity delight very well.
This is how I made:
Plum and Walnut Pizza
- Mixed 250g flour (half wholemeal, half white) in a bowl with 1 tsp instant yeast, ½ tsp salt and 1 tsp maca powder (not necessary, but makes me think I'm being healthy).
- Stirred in 150ml warm water and 1 tbsp olive oil until the mixture came together in a ball.
- Kneaded for about 10 minutes on an oiled surface, adding 30g of finely chopped vanillary white chocolate towards the end (I used G&B).
- Placed into an oiled bowl and left to rise for an hour or so.
- Divided the mixture into 4 balls and rolled as thinly as possible into rounds.
- Placed on lined baking sheets.
- Warmed 3 tbsp of plum jam (homemade) and 1 tbsp marsala in a small pan.
- Sliced 4 large purple plums into thin slices.
- Roughly chopped a handful of walnut halves.
- Spread a tbsp of the jam mixture over the base of each pizza.
- Laid the plum slices over the jam then scattered some walnuts over the top.
- Dusted a little vanilla sugar over the top.
- Baked in the middle of the oven at 200°C for 12 minutes.
- Served immediately (apart from the odd photo or two).
Gosh these were good. The dough was soft and sweet and combined beautifully with the tart juicy plums and the fragrant vanilla. The walnuts gave a delightful crunch and added bitter notes which contrasted nicely with the caramel undertones from the bits of white chocolate that had caramelised in the dough. These were also a visual feast with the strikingly coloured purple plums. This is a dessert I can see us having again and again – maybe with peaches or nectarines by way of a change.
Alpha Bakes is P this month and I have three of them. P is for Purple Plum and Walnut Pizza. It is hosted this time around over at Caroline Makes and is alternately hosted by Ros of The More Than Occasional Baker.
As plums are in season, I am sending this off to Elizabeth's Kitchen Diary where Simple and in Season is being hosted this month on behalf of Ren Behan.
And this is my second entry to Bookmarked Recipes this month with Jac over at Tinned Tomatoes.
Being rather pleased with this fabulous bake, I am submitting it to Emily's #recipeoftheweek over at A Mummy Too.
Plum is the chosen ingredient for the monthly Rix Aga Inspired Recipes, so I am sending this over to them as well in the vague hope I might win £100 Waitrose voucher.
Chocolate Marshmallow Crispies – We Should Cocoa #48
Rebecca over at Bake n Quilt is hosting We Should Cocoa this month and has chosen the ingredient marshmallow to get us all thinking. With the hot and steamy weather continuing here in the UK, this is a good choice; there is no baking required in making marshmallows and plenty of simple no bake recipes to use them in too.

Hideki Matsui Home Run Cards – Guiness Ready?
by Gen on Jan.18, 2010 @ 11:45 am, under MLB
Nippon TV and Hideki Matsui teamed up in 1993 to start the Hideki Matsui Home Run Card club.
For every home run Matsui hits, a baseball card featuring an image of that particular home run swing, along with other details from the game, is printed.
Since 1993, Matsui has hit 472 home runs between the MLB and the NPB -- there is a card for each of those home runs. In all, some 30,000,000 cards have been printed over the years; and there are currently some 30,000 people that own all 472 cards.
And now it seems that the team working on the Matsui Home Run Card will be checking to see if they can get this listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest running (and perhaps most ambitious) baseball card business plan.
Incidentally, the whole reason why this was even started was to document Matsui's progress toward breaking Sadaharu Oh's home run record of 868.

JAMES II (1633-1701), King of England. A series of 54 autograph letters signed (as Duke of York, with initial 'J') to William, Prince of Orange (his son in law, and successor as King William III of England, 1688-1702), London (21), Brussels (26), Windsor (4), Hatfield, Newark and Edinburgh, 29 October [1678] - 27 November [1679], 126 pages, 4to, autograph address leaves ('For my sonne the Prince of Orange'), seals (occasional light spotting and duststains, small seal tears, letter of 7 October [1679] endorsed in an 18th-century hand); and a secretarial copy of a letter by Charles II to his sister [Elizabeth, the Electress Palatine], Hampton Court, 20 December 1636, one page, 4to, the letters tipped on guards into an album, 19th-century calf (scuffed); bookplate of G[eorge] S[avile] Foljambe.
A revealing and surprisingly cordial series of letters written to his son-in-law -- the defender of Protestantism -- during the twelve months when widespread suspicion and unease about the future governance of England in the light of the Duke of York's marriage to the Catholic Mary of Modena and his own conversion to Roman Catholicism had exploded in September 1678 in Titus Oates' fabrication of the 'Popish Plot' to kill the King. James's importance as heir presumptive was the consequence of Charles II's failure to produce a legitimate son. The rallying of support for the Earl of Shaftesbury's Exclusion Bill to remove the Duke of York from the succession -- the background to many of the letters -- appeared to threaten the principle of hereditary monarchy. Although clauses in the Test Act exempted its provisions from applying to James, the perceived danger from his presence led to his banishment to the Spanish Netherlands for six months in 1679, during which he sent off a stream of letters to his son-in-law and his friends expressing his anxieties and particularly his concerns about the Duke of Monmouth (Charles II's natural son by Lucy Walters), whose ambitions the King appeared to indulge. James returned to England when the King was thought to be dangerously ill, but on Charles's recovery, and Monmouth's disgrace, he was hastily removed from the centre of events and appointed Viceroy in Scotland: the last of the present letters is dated from Edinburgh.
'When [Oates] will make an end of accusing people the Lord knows, but their chief malice is against me, for they think they have no so sure way of ruining the King, as begining with me. This day Lord Shaf[te]sbury and his gange shewd their malice to me and would have gott a thing done that might have proved very prejuditial to me, but they could not carry it in our House' (29 October 1678).
'I have gott a proviso added to the bill for puting the Catholike Lords out of the House and banishing all of that perswation from the Court, that nothing in that act shall extend to me; so that in this my enemys have mist of their aime, for their cheef designe by this bill, was to drive me from his Majesty's presence ... yett their malice to me continus as much and more then ever, and thay have [a] new designe on foott against me, and I am sure will leave no stone unturned to ruine me if they can so that I am far from being secure, by having gaind that point yesterday' (22 November 1678).
Several letters of May 1679 contain dire predictions of the dangers from Shaftesbury's appointment as President of the Council, and of the Presbyterians' probable support for the Duke of Monmouth in order to destroy the monarchy: '[I] cannot now but looke on the monarky ist [sic] self in great danger as well as his Majesty's person, and that not from Papists but from the Commonwelth party and some of those who were latly brought into the Councell that gouverne the Duke of Monmouth and who make a property of him to ruine our family'. The King's indecision prompts the hope that 'this [the Exclusion Bill] and some other procedings of the Commons will have so allarumd his Majesty and the Lords, that he will at last take some vigorus resolution ... He continus very kind to me, and is unsatisfyd with the Duke of Monmouth's procedings, but still continus kind in his mind to him, and endeavors and hops to make him behave himself as he aught to do' (8 June 1679).
Other events include the trials and executions of those accused by 'that great villan Oates', including Edward Coleman (former physician to Mary of Modena) and Irland and Grove; the impeachment of the Earl of Danby and the prorogation of Parliament; 'foolish discources' about Monmouth spread by 'Republicans and others of the boldest phanaticks'. Occasional references to long days hunting at Brussels suggest the more enjoyable aspect of his exile.
James pays a brief secret visit to the King at Windsor in September 1679 ('before anybody knows of it'); Monmouth is dismissed and sent abroad, and the series concludes with James's arrival -- after an unhurried journey North -- in Edinburgh to take up the post of Viceroy.
The letters are published in the 15th Report of the Historical Manuscripts Commission (Appendix, Part V: The Manuscripts of F.J.Savile Foljambe of Osberton, 1897).
