When your teeth are damaged, it can feel like they are beyond repair you probably need Manhattan Restorative Dentistry. But accidents happen, aging happens, and there are always options for revitalizing a broken-down smile. Restorative dentistry makes it possible to get a set of teeth that not only function properly again but look stunning too. You'll no longer be embarrassed to smile or feel self-conscious about people looking at your teeth when you undergo the right restorative dentistry treatments for your unique needs.
If your teeth are broken, deteriorating, or in a deep state of decay, restorative dentistry is an option. Don't be embarrassed anymore, and don't be shy about reaching out to the right Manhattan restorative dentist – your smile can be rebuilt, and so can your self-confidence.
Manhattan restorative dentistry services provided by Manhattan dentists Dr. Sandip Sachar and Dr. Katherine Wong include:
Full-Mouth Restoration
By combining restorative dentistry with cosmetic dentistry and neuromuscular procedures, full-mouth restoration can successfully rebuild your smile so that it looks amazing, feels natural and comfortable, and works properly. Full-mouth restorations are customized to every patient, just like smile makeovers, though restorations often involve the replacement or repair of a great many teeth and can include procedures such as cavity repair, dental implants, jaw alignment, TMJ treatment, gum disease therapy, porcelain crowns, porcelain veneers, and more. Chronic mouth pain or soreness, loose teeth, bleeding gums, headaches, a sunken face, missing teeth, or worn and damaged teeth are all signs that you should consult your Manhattan dentist about restorative dentistry for your smile. Full-mouth restoration is just one of many components of Manhattan Restorative Dentistry.
Porcelain Inlays & Onlays
When you need a solution that is more secure than a dental filling but less invasive than a porcelain crown, consider porcelain inlays and onlays. Used to repair partially decayed, fractured or damaged teeth, inlays and onlays stabilize the surrounding tooth structure while preventing further decay or deterioration. Dental inlays fit inside a tooth, while dental onlays extend over the cusps of a tooth and are shaped into a flattering and functional structure. Onlays are often referred to as partial crowns. Inlays and onlays are often used when there is not much tooth structure to work with and adding a tooth-colored filling or making room for a crown would further compromise the integrity and stability of the natural tooth.
Tooth Colored Fillings
Composite fillings are often referred to as tooth-colored fillings, and this option for repairing a cavity or damaged tooth has become popular for two main reasons: Tooth-colored fillings are free of toxic dental mercury, and tooth-colored fillings look and function like natural teeth, disguising the fact that a filling was even put in place. In restorative dentistry, many patients opt to have their amalgam silver fillings safely removed to prevent further exposure to mercury, and their teeth are then repaired with tooth-colored fillings.
Dental Bridges
Commonly used to replace one or more missing teeth, dental bridges often include dental crowns as part of their solution. If you have a hole in your smile, the strength of your jawbone can be so compromised it will eventually change the shape of your face, causing the remaining teeth in your mouth to shift. A dental bridge is bonded to the neighboring teeth, eliminating the gap that was in your smile, restoring your mouth to fully functional, and restoring you to full confidence in your stable and strong teeth.
Dental Crowns
When a fracture or decay has weakened a tooth, a dental crown is often the best solution. Bonded securely in place and designed to look like natural teeth, porcelain crowns also function like natural teeth so that you can eat and chew normally without any worries about the solidity of your smile. A dental crown is a cover-up for unsightly tooth problems and are used to restore discolored or misshapen teeth, cover damaged teeth, replace lost tooth structure, and protect weak teeth from breaking.
Modern dentures are revolutionizing the stereotypical reputation of dentures. This removable dental appliance is designed to resemble natural teeth by replacing a great number of missing teeth and surrounding tissue. Partial dentures fill the spaces created by missing teeth while preventing other teeth from shifting. Complete dentures are used when all teeth are missing or all teeth need to be removed because of gum disease or another oral health problem. The durability of dentures improves a person's ability to eat, chew, and speak while enhancing their appearance and restoring the functionality of their teeth and gums.
Dental Implants
Another component of Manhattan Restorative Dentistry are dental implants. When you need to restore the functionality of your smile because of loose or missing teeth, dental implants are one of the most secure and aesthetically pleasing options available. Dental implants can be used to replace any missing tooth, in the process stimulating the jawbone and gums and restoring the solidity and security of your smile. Dental implants are designed to replace the tooth root that is missing, and the prosthetic tooth is attached to the implant so that it is permanent, feels comfortable, and looks just like natural teeth.
All-On-Four Dental Implants
If dentures are an unappealing option to you, dental implants are the secure solution to a mouthful of missing teeth. Whether all of your teeth on the top or bottom of your mouth are missing, All-On-Four dental implants can replace your entire arch of teeth with just four dental implants. You don't need an implant for every tooth – All-On-Four is constructed of four dental implants that are implanted and heal to become part of your jawbone, stimulating the bone and serving as a base for the prosthetic teeth that are attached to the implants and which create the entirety of your newly restored smile.
All-On-Six Dental Implants
Just like All-On-Four dental implants, All-On-Six dental implants are placed in six spots in the mouth that have the highest bone volume, and this restorative dentistry option even applies to patients who have limited jaw bone tissue. All-On-Six dental implants restore a patient's ability to eat, chew, and speak normally without the need for removable appliances or complicated at-home care. Dental implants in any form are designed to deliver long-term results that revitalize your smile and increase your self-confidence immediately.

First the mainstream media pointed out how nobody was standing in line for the new iPads and sales were going to suck. Then when Apple announced this morning that they sold 3 million iPads in three days, instead of admitting they were wrong, the conspiracy theories started.
Let's look at Peter Kafka at All Things D whining that Apple didn't break out the numbers between the iPad 4 and iPad mini.
Apple says it sold three million iPads since Friday, when its new iPad mini and iPad 4 went on sale. But it isn't breaking out its sales by model.
News flash for you Peter, Apple never breaks out numbers of multiple products in a category. iPods are iPods, iPhones are iPhones, and wait for it Peter, iPads are iPads.
Look at any Apple financial report and you will see the same thing. Apple does this for competitive reasons and they always have. Only someone with an obvious agenda, or is new to reporting on Apple and haven't done their homework would question that.
It is true that Apple reported iPhone 5 sales numbers, but that was a single product launch, not a multiple product launch like the iPads.
Kafka also called into question Apple's integrity by implying they were counting all iPad sales last weekend and comparing to sales of the new iPad in March. When has Apple ever done anything sleazy like that before.
Here's a better question to ask Peter. Why not ask Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Samsung and RIM for actual sales numbers for their products. Apple provides them every quarter, but nobody else does. I'm not talking about vague shipments either, ask for numbers.

Piper Wright is a reporter living in Diamond City in 2287 and possible companion of the Sole Survivor. She runs her own newspaper called Publick Occurrences, which she operates with her younger sister, Nat.
Piper grew up in a small community on the outskirts of the Commonwealth with Nat and their father, a member of the local militia. After her father was found dead under suspicious circumstances, Piper learned that he had discovered a raider plot to sack the town. His superior, Captain Mayburn, arranged to leave the main gate open and unguarded one night to allow raiders access in exchange for a cut of the loot and had Piper's father murdered to keep him silent.
The local authorities did not believe her claims and refused to investigate. Piper then created and circulated wanted posters featuring the captain and a list of his crimes. The conspicuously public accusation got the attention of the town's mayor, who accepted Piper's evidence. The settlers, outraged by the story, exiled Mayburn. When the raiders eventually showed up expecting the gate to be wide open, they instead encountered prepared defenses by alerted townsfolk and were driven away.[1]
Eventually Piper and Nat saved enough money to relocate to Diamond City, where she began her career as an investigative journalist. Her fervor for discovering the truth made her popular for a while, but eventually public opinion turned against her because her articles were seen as being "too negative". Piper's work yields results often at the expense of her own safety, for example in the Sole Survivor's first encounter with Piper, she has gotten herself locked out of Diamond City on the orders of McDonough, the city's mayor, after Piper published an article suggesting (correctly) that the mayor was, in fact, a synth.
Furthermore, Piper was responsible for exposing a caravan cartel for driving up food prices in Diamond City. The cartel retaliated by poisoning her drink at the Dugout Inn, but she managed to purge the poison by drinking moonshine and had several members of the cartel arrested.[2] Her investigation into irradiated drinking water at Bunker Hill led her to discover that the culprits were Children of Atom cultists. Threatened with execution, Piper tricked the cultists into believing she had a vision from Atom. After the cult inducted her as a member, she managed to sneak away and send Bunker Hill security to deal with the cultists.[3]
Despite multiple death threats, assassination attempts and a near-execution, finding herself in sticky situations is a point of pride for Piper, who feels getting into trouble is just part of chasing the truth.
Interactions with the player characterEdit
Fallout 4Edit
Interactions overviewEdit
Effects of player's actionsEdit
- When the Sole Survivor first encounters Piper she is on the verge of exile from Diamond City for writing an article suggesting that Mayor McDonough is a synth. While arguing with the gate guard to be let back in, she asks for the Survivor's assistance in bluffing past security. Once inside, Piper gets into an argument with the mayor who accuses her of spreading lies. When the dialogue is complete Piper asks the Sole Survivor to stop by her office. Completing an interview with her leads to Piper offering to travel with the player character and watch their back as they adjust to life in the wasteland.
- At maximum affinity Piper awards the Gift of Gab perk, which doubles experience from persuasion successes and finding new locations.
- Piper is a potential candidate for romance, an option that unlocks after reaching the highest level of affinity.
- Piper can be caught talking to Nick Valentine about "one of his clients" as Nick refers to you, as after hearing this conversation, Piper will say, "Speak of the devil him/herself."
Range of interestsEdit
Other interactionsEdit
- If the Sole Survivor has found Nick Valentine before traveling to Diamond City the gate will already be open and the mayor will be interacting with Piper inside.
- Paladin Danse has a line of unique dialogue during the introduction with the mayor at Diamond City gate, despite his normally being unavailable as a companion until later in the Main Quest. If the Sole Survivor states that they believe in Freedom of the Press, Danse will comment, "I believe the press often manipulates the truth in order to deliver their agenda."
- Diamond City security will tell the player character to be careful about having her as a companion because of the trouble between her and the mayor.
- If the Sole Survivor hasn't done her interview yet, then exits Diamond City and enters again later, Piper can be found in Mayor McDonough's office accusing his secretary of sleeping with him.
- As the Sole Survivor's companion, she will often offer aid in the form of "sweet" food and drink (bubblegum, gumdrops, Nuka-Cola, Sugar Bombs or sweet rolls). This is similar to Strong who offers food as well, but in the form of meats.
- Bringing Piper back to Diamond City may cause Nat to run up to her and relate a story about being given detention at school. Piper may then tell her she is grounded, much to Nat's chagrin; however, another conversation has Piper congratulate Nat on getting detention (due to punching a boy who was annoying her), telling her never to change.
- She also has an interaction with the Sole Survivor about how she believes Nat idolizes her too much, hoping that time apart will prevent Nat from growing up to be like her. The Sole Survivor can choose to offer advice on how to deal with the situation.
- Occasionally, when passing Takahashi, Piper will tell the Sole Survivor she wants to introduce them to her informant. She will jokingly interrogate Takahashi, finishing by saying that Takahashi 'spilled the beans, I bet your name isn't even really Blue.'
- Visiting the upper levels with Piper will cause Wellingham to pretend to loudly throw her out, while secretly sharing a bit of gossip and intrigue with her.
- If the player character ends the main quest by siding with the Institute and then talks to Piper, she might be distraught and angry at the player character for the world thus created, though the player character can still have her travel with them as a companion. However, if the player character's affinity with Piper is high enough (or grows high enough), she will write an article titled Fear the Future? where she is revealed to be more optimistic, though still wary, of the future.
- If the player character ends the main quest by siding with the Railroad, the Brotherhood of Steel or the Minutemen and talks to Piper afterwards, she will express relief that the Institute is gone, and will write an article titled The Boogeyman banished?.
Fallout: The Board GameEdit
|The following is based on content from Fallout: The Board Game and has not been confirmed by canon sources.
- Piper can be found randomly when taking a card from the loot deck. While Piper is the active companion, the player character can exhaust her to explore an adjacent tile.
- When the player character performs the camp action, she will become unexhausted. However, if the player character does not have the Vilified trait, she must be discarded.
|End of information based on content from Fallout: The Board Game.
- Fallout 4
|Other items
|Red leather trench coat
Press cap
Road leathers
|10mm pistol
- Fallout Shelter
|Piper's outfit
- Piper will call the player character "Blue," referring to the Sole Survivor's blue jumpsuit. If the Survivor is not wearing the jumpsuit, Piper will simply say "I know you're not wearing the jumpsuit right now but the Pip-Boy and the 'fish out of water' look? Dead giveaways."
- Piper's interactions with Mayor McDonough seem to be inspired by Bob Woodward's and Carl Bernstein's reporting of the Watergate scandal which eventually led to the resignation of President Nixon. This is further lampshaded by Mayor McDonough's "I Am Not a Synth" speech.
- Piper's article The Synthetic Truth, which correctly identifies Mayor McDonough as a synth, causes Alana Secord of the Synth Retention Bureau to disavow him. This is likely the cause of the quest In Sheep's Clothing.
- If Piper is present when the player character talks to Magnolia, she will clumsily compliment her, saying "Nice set this evening, ma'am... of songs that is. Is it warm in here?"
- In the quest The Secret of Cabot House it's best to dismiss Piper before choosing the outcome of Lorenzo Cabot. She dislikes both choices, so it's a lose/lose situation with her. This can be avoided by choosing neither, and instead letting Lorenzo break free due to inaction. Successfully siding with the family through speech checks later in the quest also prevents her from disliking the player character.
- If taken to Nate/Nora's corpse in Vault 111, she will say "Is, is that who I think it is? You okay?"
- Piper has a death quote. Upon being killed, she will utter either "Blue..." or "Take care... of Nat"
- Piper may become hostile if the player character assaults a traveling doctor or their brahmin, even when romanced.
- She will become instantly hostile toward the player character if one has killed a Diamond City security officer. Escaping the area and waiting three days should cease hostilities.
- When asked about her thoughts directly after accepting the quest Blind Betrayal, Piper will react as if the quest has already been completed, thus delivering a massive spoiler.
- If the player character has Strong as a follower, and then decides to travel with Piper, Strong will comment "This human weak, soft, not live long" to which Piper responds "Not so fast big boy, I know a few of your brothers that would disagree."
- As a journalist, Piper can be found interviewing other NPCs about various subjects, such as life in the Commonwealth, their opinions about the Institute and hope for the future.
- When at the South Boston military checkpoint, as the pre-recorded message repeats she will sarcastically comment to it, "Ugh! Yes, we hear you!"
- Piper's terminal in Public Occurences contains every available article depending on how far the player is into the main quest line. It also contains reader complaints on how her articles are always negative and just trying to drum up fear for increased sales or how the Wall doesn't contribute anything to Diamond City's safety. To every complaint, there is a published response for the public and a personal response which she keeps to herself. There also anonymous messages that are sent to Publick Occurrences for advice on a certain situation. Every one of these messages are responded to by Piper herself. Some of these situations include letting their child go and live their own life, talking to girls, and how to handle stress. One of the message's writers says that they are lonely and even asks Piper out on a date, but she declined.
- Piper had been arrested by Diamond City security so many times that, up until recently, Diamond City's jail had been called the "Piper Suite".[4]

Piper appears in Fallout 4, Fallout Shelter, and Fallout: The Board Game.
Behind the scenesEdit
- In the Creation Kit, the road goggles have the editor ID ClothesPiperGoggles. This indicates that she may have been meant to wear the goggles with the rest of her outfit. Some concept art supports this, although she is only ever seen wearing them pushed up on her forehead.
- In her concept art it appears Piper would have had shorter hair. She also would have worn a fedora rather than her reporter cap. One other concept design shows her with what appears to be an aviator's cap and camera equipment on her.
|The following is based on unverified behind the scenes information and has not been confirmed by canon sources.
- "Blue" (Piper's nickname for the Sole Survivor) may also be a subtle baseball reference. "Blue" is a slang term for the umpire.
- The inspiration for Piper's name may come from a play-on-words of "paper write".
|End of information based on unverified behind the scenes information.
- PC Playstation 4 Xbox One Piper will not move even if she is standing, near an enemy, shot at or interacted with at all. She can still be spoken to. She may be locked in a single position and just slide around. Fast travelling fixes this.[verified]
- PC Playstation 4 Xbox One Cannot romance Piper after she idolizes you (max affinity), even if player character's charisma is maxed. The key/button to select is there, but the option to romance is blank. [verified]
- PC Playstation 4 Xbox One Piper will mysteriously disappear from the game completely. However starting the quest In Sheep's Clothing will seemingly fix this.[verified] Also, she may reappear at the end of the quest Reunions, trying to get an interview from Nick Valentine.[verified]
- Playstation 4 Xbox One Piper will randomly dislike something out of nowhere, such as fast traveling, killing hostile enemies, picking unowned locks, and simply exploring. It is quite rare, but frequency increases after fast traveling to an area populated with enemies, and especially when the player is in power armor (specifically the X-01 Power Armor), although these messages take an unusually long time to appear.[verified]
- PC Playstation 4 Sometimes when heavily injured, Piper will remain in the downed position indefinitely. She can still be spoken to, and will teleport with the Sole Survivor when traveling, via a load zone or fast travel, but will not get up or walk. (Possibly caused by fall damage outside of combat, encountered at the Garden Terrace) Depleting her health (tested using the PC Kill command) then stimpaking her seems to fix the problem. Alternatively, loading a save prior to her injury solves this.[verified]
- PC Playstation 4 If Piper is your romantic partner and is your companion and is wearing power armor when your are sleeping, her power armor sometimes have disappeared when you wake up. This seems to happen when you sleep in a narrow location where there is not enough space for her to step out of the armor. If you make her leave the armor before you sleep, the problem will not occur. [verified]
- ↑ Piper's dialogue: "one day, our Dad turns up dead. His captain, asshole named Mayburn, claims Raiders must've gotten him on watch"... the Mayor sure wanted to talk after that. The town threw Mayburn out on his ass and were dug-in when a very surprised group of Raiders finally showed."
- ↑ Piper's dialogue: "First time, I'd just published an article about this cartel of caravans that had been driving up food prices in the city"... "And while I was passed out on the floor, security managed to grab the bartender."
- ↑ Piper's dialogue: "I traced the water back to its source, through these old sewer tunnels"... "managed to sneak away, get Bunker Hill security to finally clean the place up."
- ↑ Piper's dialogue: I've been shot at, poisoned, nearly executed. Heck, until recently, they called the lock-up in Diamond City the "Piper Suite."


text:
Back in March Tom Chivers, formerly of The Telegraph, poster a mildly mocking why-oh-why piece about "Why Monopoly Is The Worst Game In The World". Some time later it was deleted. We now are told at the behest of the Editor-in-chief, Ben Smith. Originally it was claimed that the Tom Chivers deleted it himself, an odd thing for a journalist to do unless he is being sued. Tom didn't delete his tweets about it:
It is unlikely Tom knew that Hasbro, the makers of Monopoly, had signed a big sponsorship deal with Buzzfeed until perhaps Ben Smith, editor-in-chief, had a word.
At this point, in breach of all the fancy ethical guidelines that Buzzfeeders boast about…
… the post got deleted.
Critics were on the lookout for this kind of malfeasance after Gawker published an article on Thursday reporting that BuzzFeed deleted an article that attacked Dove's latest advertising campaign.
On Friday morning MediaGuido was alerted by a reader that this had happened in relation to Monopoly. At 14:30 we reached out to Buzzfeed and Tom Chivers for an explanation. We got no reply. However, coincidentally perhaps, a former Telegraph colleague of Tom Chivers tweeted a reference to the issue at 15:40, at the same time as we published out first story.
The situation at this point was pretty much:
Media Guido predicted it would go like this:
It pretty much did exactly that, except far quicker…
Here's the cover up:
As soon as New York media types started pushing the story, the statement of regret swiftly arrived:
It turns out that Buzzfeed at the very least self-censors when it comes to lucrative advertisers. The Telegraph did the same with HSBC, about which a Buzzfeed report took a very moralistic tone, reporting that "…Telegraph colleagues had lost all faith in the newspaper's management". Turns out hipsters can be hypocrites too…
The article isn't even that interesting anyway:

The STATEMAP component of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (NGCMP) has twelve criteria as a basis for awarding grants. Colorado's Geologic Mapping Advisory Committee (GMAC) took those twelve criteria and ranked them in order of importance to Colorado as a guide for making decisions about what and where to map in the state. The GMAC uses these criteria, listed following in order from highest to lowest priority, in ranking the individual quadrangles that are proposed for mapping each year:
- Land use evaluation and planning for environmental protection.
- Design and construction of infrastructure requirements such as utility lifelines, transportation corridors, and surface water impoundments.
- Reducing losses from landslides and other ground failures.
- Exploration for and development of water resources.
- Mitigating the effects of coastal and stream erosion.
- Basic earth-science research.
- Exploration for and development of energy resources.
- Exploration for and development of mineral resources.
- Siting of critical facilities.
- Screening and characterizing sites for toxic and nuclear waste disposal.
- Earthquake hazards reduction.
- Predicting volcanic hazards.

Commissioner: Millions in insurance rebates still available to Louisiana homeownersPosted On Thu, March 3, 2011
As much as $362 million in home insurance rebates is available in Louisiana and the state's insurance commissioner wants residents to take advantage of it through tax deductions and insurance premium discounts.
To make sure everyone is aware of the savings that can be had, the department is launching a statewide campaign that includes speaking tours at local organizations, media appearances and paid advertisements on area radio stations.
"If property owners have not yet claimed their citizens rebate, tax time is certainly a good time to do it," said the department's insurance commissioner, Jim Donelson.
Donelson went on to say that 63 percent of the money that's available has not been claimed. While people can still make claims on rebates that have gone unpaid going back to 2007, Donelson said there is a statute of limitations on when the money can be recovered. He said $133 million was not claimed in 2006 and the ability to claim that expired December 31, 2010.
In the wake of the BP oil spill that cost Louisiana homeowners billions of dollars in lost home value, the campaign will likely garner plenty of attention.

17 February 2016
Bloomsbury, London
For this short interview, ninety-three-years-young Mary Banham welcomed me to her home for a cup of coffee (which she has been advised not to drink by her doctor but still insists I have a cup so she would have an excuse to have one too). Mrs. Banham lives just a few minutes away from the AA. In fact, her apartment is located at an equal distance between the two architectural institutions that she and her late husband Reyner Banham have most influenced; the Bartlett and the AA.
I called to discuss an event which occurred 65 years ago, an event beyond my generation of the millennials – the 1951 Festival of Britain.
Picture grey, coupon-bearing, bread-rationed Britons in 1951, often described as a bored, tired population. The new mouthpiece that was the Festival had come to a close. The extravagant summer party concoction of the Labour Party was dubbed by its director Gerald Barry as A Tonic to the Nation, a necessary pick-me-up to uplift Britain back on her feet after WWII.
Twenty years after the festival, an important book borrowed that same expression as its title; Tonic. Mary Banham being one of its editors is key to opening a portal to the past that I am so impartial to. As a spectator who has never belonged to this country, nor has any lingering ancestral nostalgia to the war it purged through, it was difficult for me to skim mountains of colourful Festival remnants without the tinted specs of cynicism. Which is why I needed her guidance to answer the vital question; Was the 1951 Festival of Britain really a Tonic?
NM: I am sure you get this question a lot, but what are your lingering memories of the festival?
MB: I was really young, fairly young in my 20s, during the festival, and our generation didn't really approve of it, didn't really approve of the style. We were glad they were doing modern, but it wasn't modern enough for us. Only the ones with the steel and glass, the pavilions with steel and glass we could approve of. We are the generation that's always so interested in what was happening next! It was wonderful because it didn't matter what profession you came from, you were prepared to enter into doing something for the festival, and it was very unselfish from that point of view.

The 2010 NSW 21/U State Team won its third consecutive 21/U national title after defeating South Australia 50-39 in the Grand Final on Monday October 4, 2010 at the 2010 21/U DealsDirect.com.au National Netball Championship in Logan, QLD.
Coming into the game as favourites after routing SA in the preliminary rounds, NSW withstood the pressure to be crowned national champions.
NSW Captain Amy Wild was thrilled with the fairytale finish.
"I'm so proud of all the girls and staff for their huge efforts all week. For seven of us this was our last nationals and we couldn't have asked for a better ending," Wild said.
NSW GK April Letton and Queensland GD Chanel Gomes were rewarded for outstanding performances throughout the tournament, sharing the Most Valuable Player of the Championship award.
Letton, alongside NSW GD Jessica Mansell, got NSW off to a terrific start in the decider as they plucked off intercepts in the opening quarter to give NSW an 11-9 lead at the first break.
SA came out of the first break determined to get back on top and they quickly levelled the scores. The teams went goal for goal before NSW forced SA into a turnover in the final minutes of the second quarter to steal a three-goal lead at halftime, 24-21.
NSW stepped up their aggression in the third quarter, challenging every ball and they were rewarded with a 10-goal lead with five minutes remaining in the term before SA regathered to reduce the margin to four goals at the final break, 34-30.
NSW stood up to the pressure in the fourth quarter as SA errors gifted them a couple of easy goals and they held on to win by 11 goals.
Earlier Victoria won the playoff for third place over QLD, 59-42.
Following the presentation the 2011 21/U National Squad was named including six NSW athletes; April Letton and Verity Simmons who represented NSW at the championships, as well as Melissa Tallent, Samantha Poolman, Nicola Gray and Kellyann Grayson.
The 2011 Australian Institute of Sport netball scholarship holders were also named with NSW's Verity Simmons, Nicola Gray and Kellyann Grayson returning, with new scholarships to Alix McDermott, Melissa Tallent and Samantha Poolman.

Chapter 130-Trembling Heart (6)
Translated by: Shiroyukineko

Liu Yue didn't say anything much and received the two seals, shoving them inside her robes. Grabbing Imperial Consort Chen's hands with one pull, she coldly commanded, "Whoever lets an enemy run away is a coward."
"Yes!" Qiu Hen and the others immediately replied with a loud "yes". Even the members of Mu Rong Clan voiced their agreement, forgetting the fact that Liu Yue was their niece, daughter, or a girl from the generation below them.
Liu Yue's body followed her sword along as she killed in all four directions. Leading Qiu Hen and the others, Liu Yue charged forward fiercely.
A malevolent killing intent suddenly filled the space.
In this instant, Qiu Hen and the others who had only been able to defend by a hair's breadth, suddenly became a force that nobody could withstand. The Imperial Guard impostors were driven back instead and the situation turned a full 180 degrees.
Seeing that the situation had turned for the worse, an Imperial Guard frantically attacked on one hand, and toppled a lantern with his other hand, splashing the lamp oil onto the ground.
Fire started spreading out in all directions. The fire from the lantern spread out to the curtains and splashed out to the velvet carpets.
In an instant, the small fire from the lantern had spread out in all four directions. With the help of the premeditated action of toppling and the deliberate intent for destruction, the blazing flame grew bigger as it rose up in the air.
They wanted to create an opportunity to escape under the cover of fire.
A cold glare flashed across Liu Yue's eyes as she slowly smiled. They dared to play such a trick against her, humph.
The stench of blood permeated the air. Tonight, in this Liu Li Palace, who would be the winner in the end?
The night grew calmer yet the fight became more intense.
The summer breeze blew, blowing the stench of blood through the air.
And at this moment, the Tian Chen Main Court was still locked in a stalemate. Mu Rong Wu Di held the Imperial Edict in his hands, looking down on the subjects below and shouted, "By the Mandate of Heavens, the Emperor's Imperial Order…"
"Your highness, you can't dethrone…"
"Reporting…" Amidst the two voices that opposed each other, another voice announcing a report suddenly rung out. A stream of footsteps resounded outside, rushing towards the palace swiftly.
"What's the problem? Announce it." Emperor Xuan Yuan Yi, whose face had previously looked burdened, suddenly sat up straight.
An Imperial Guard Officer who was sweating from head to toe entered the Main Hall quickly. He didn't even kneel as he reported with an overjoyed voice, "Announce…Your…High…ness…" Gasping for breath, his sentence barely made any sense.
The Right Minister immediately frowned and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Taking a deep breath, the Imperial Guard Officer tamped down his excitement and reported in a loud voice, "This servant reports to Your Highness. King Yi did not die!"
"What?!" Xuan Yuan Yi couldn't keep his calm sitting down and immediately shot to his feet, his eyes wide open with shock.
Right Minister and General Mu Rong Wu Di were also frozen with shock. They staggered a few steps forward as they asked anxiously, "King Yi didn't die, is that really true? Quickl! Report it clearly."

It was my third day of "Smart Learning" classes in our native place. There is the group of children who are 13 to 20 years old and studying in different schools and colleges. Most of the children want to do something new in their life. But they don't even know what that new thing is? Even in the age of 18-20 they don't know what to do next but they still have the stamina to do something and remain motivated.
This is beauty and fortune of India that India has such people who never blame, in-spite of lack basic infrastructure people, children and everyone living without these are optimistic. They believe in change and bring change in their life and system. These are common people always happy, always optimistic and always fearless.
Children are having a huge gap in the direction and the target. Most of them are aimless. They didn't get proper guidance neither form the school nor from the society. What if the child cross the age of 20 and didn't come to know that by himself that I could do this and I could do that. Because the time has passed and he/she just loosed those opportunities.
In the small towns, cities and villages there are many schools which are charging hefty amount for children's future. Better to not to discuss anything about government schools because these are just for nothing but only for vote bank and a golden hen. But what happen to private schools. Why after the 67 yrs of independence we could not improve the education system which is basic need for everyone in every area. But what happened to public schools. If we go 15-20 years back we can see that the teaching and doctor were known as "Novel Profession" but these days I think the condition is just opposite.
Why we have become so selfish? Why do we not come forward for the welfare of the peoples, society, even after retirement people continue to earn and think of earning money? There are many teachers which I know personally was fantastic, knowledgeable and just outstanding in their early age. They guide and made the life of many students but after retirement or just before few years of retirement they lose the focus from what they were doing. They started different profession and search for the options of earning money.
Time never comes back. who is responsible for the children's future, schools, family or we all ? We blame to the child and never think that what he/she could do without knowing that the preparation for type "A" should start from now and this is the pattern. I think at least the public school can take and initiative to promote some awareness programmers to the parents and the children. And we also can contribute something to guide the child in our neighbor and circle to make the children's future bright. Because I think the education with proper guidance is the only mantra to change the future of everyone.

The targetattr keyword specifies that an ACI is defined for one or more attributes in the targeted entries. The targetattr keyword uses the following syntax:
(targetattr = "attribute")
(targetattr != "attribute")
If no targetattr keyword is present, no attributes are targeted. To target all attributes, the targetattr keyword must be targetattr="*".
Targeted attributes do not need to exist on the target entry or its subtree, but the ACI applies whenever they do.
Targeted attributes do not need to be defined in the schema. The absence of schema checking makes it possible to implement an access control policy before importing data and its schema.
The targetattr keyword can be used for multiple attributes, by using this syntax:
(targetattr = "attribute1 || attribute2|| ... attributeN")
If you configure attribute aliases, you must specify both the attribute name and the alias in the targetattr keyword for the ACI to take them into account.
Targeted attributes include all subtypes of the named attribute. For example, (targetattr = "locality") also targets locality;lang-fr.
Wild cards can be used in the expression for the targetattr keyword, but the use of wild cards would serve no purpose and may reduce performance.

I live with perpetual FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out.) If I'm at a friend or family gathering, for example, and I'm dead tired, I won't leave or go to bed because I don't want to miss anything. Never has my FOMO been so acute as when I was in Europe. No matter where I was, I was always just 30 minutes or 50 miles or one city or country away from another iconic sightseeing opportunity. So when presented with the prospect of squeezing in one more thing, I typically said yes—jet lag and aching feet be damned.
After we closed down Osborne House—meaning we were the last ones to leave before they shut the doors (see this post)—Joanna asked me if I wanted to visit Quarr Abbey. We had just enough time before it got dark, which gifted us with amazing light.
Quarr is a Benedictine Abbey on the Isle of Wight that was rebuilt in 1912 (the ruins of the original, which was dismantled in the 1500's on the order of King Henry the Eighth, are still there.) The monks raise pigs, and there are horses and cattle on the property. If you look in the distance of the photo of the cows, you can see some of the ruins. The Abbey owns the old farmhouse (pic below), but rents it out to an individual, who has the incredible privilege of living in the midst of the ruins.
The next day we headed back to London because we had a plane to catch to Prague at the butt-crack of dawn the following day. I was very tired but after much deliberation decided to make the trek to Winchester to see the Cathedral. (If you're under 40 you probably won't know the iconic song about Winchester Cathedral, but I'm happy to offer you a link to the ear worm here.) As you can see, it was a rainy, cold, dreary day when we arrived in Winchester. The photo on the right is just a random token of my excitement at having found gluten-free crumpets.
There was a choir practicing when we arrived and as you might imagine, the acoustics were to die for. It was so lovely. Like most churches I visited in Europe, this one put me in beauty overload. No matter where you turned there were intricate, carefully crafted elements, even down to the micro level. The floors, the walls, the ceilings and murals and statues and altars; the quires and especially the windows—conspired to create a rhapsody of historic and artistic brilliance that was simultaneously overwhelming and deeply moving.
There are numerous notable people buried in these churches; here's one that surprised me.
Most churches I visited had shrines and offered the option to light candles for loved ones. I decided to light one for each of my granddaughters—Piper, Haven, Drew and Storey (lower left.)
After we left the cathedral Joanna offered to walk me down a few streets so that I could get a feel for this small British community. My feet felt like they had been shredded, but again, I didn't want to miss out and it had finally stopped raining. Here's a sample of what we saw.
This final group of photos is from a different day (as evidenced by the sunny weather.) We had just returned from Prague and were headed to Vienna that night. But it's the last set of pics from England so I thought I'd include them here. That day we met up with my husband, Craig, who had just come from America with my other camera to replace the one that had broken. He and I made a very quick trip to the Tower of London. This building is where the Crown Jewels are housed. My daughter Anna told me it was worth the trip to see them, and it was. But alas, they do not allow any photos of the jewels whatsoever.
This is one of the Beefeaters, who are ceremonial defenders of the Crown Jewels and keepers of Tower prisoners (hint: there are none today.) The tours they've offered since the Victorian Era are highly entertaining, theatrical and provide somewhat of a caricature of the Yeoman Warders who really did carry out both of these tasks. All Beefeaters are retired from the Armed Forces with at least 22 years of service. One perk: they actually live on the premises. Why are they called Beefeaters? There are several theories, but one of the most common is that long ago chunks of beef were part of their salary.
Despite the sunshine it was a hazy day, but this was my only shot at grabbing a pic of the Tower Bridge. Apparently it's extremely common for people to mistake this for London Bridge.
This is the famed "Traitor's Gate," through which our Beefeater said that Anne Boleyn passed through on her way to her imprisonment and eventual beheading. Some historians dispute this.
As we were leaving the Tower of London, this guy sat perched on a stone column, preaching his sermon to all that would listen (and I dare say that there were precious few who could opt out. He was loud.)
Next up: Prague!

Easy file sharing over the Internet. Fast set-up. Security controls in place. Supports more (but not all) multimedia file formats. Uses the cloud for access, not storage.
No way to import contacts for sharing. Price has increased. Hot disconnect could hose a drive.
Bottom Line
While not as feature-rich as a lot of NAS products on the market, the second gen PogoPlug is a great way to quickly share files across the Web.
Pogoplug was a PCMag Editors' Choice in its first version. Now CloudEngine's latest iteration of its multimedia sharing device has been updated with several new features including a lurid purple-pink cable stand. It does what it did before: give you fast access, locally or remotely, to your USB storage devicesup to four of them, instead of just one. There are multimedia enhancements: you can stream almost any video file, do automatic media synching, and perform improved contact management. All of which helps make up for the $30 price increase from the original.
Similar Products
Although it does have more USB ports as well as a 1 GB Ethernet port, this little, Linux-based device isn't significantly larger than the first-generation. Its presence certainly wouldn't overwhelm a small, home office. Maybe the sheer number of external devices you can connect to it will. Also nice: the price includes the fee for cloud-based sharing service for the life of the device.
Already own the first generation Pogoplug? No worries, as you can get the new software features as a free upgrade. You're just stuck with the 1 USB port.
Pogoplug doesn't do anything much differently than other NAS devices except it doesn't come with on-board storage.However, it does allow you to easily setup content and device sharing. A reader asked how Pogoplug differs from a service like LogMeIn Hamachi which provides hosted VPN and requires no specialized hardware. Both PogoPlug and LogMeIn can achieve remote access to your computer. However, for non-IT folks and home users, the idea of a VPN can be daunting. PogoPlug is effortless sharing, and is ideal for a home or small business where there is no IT presence.
Pogoplug only supports USB 2.0 and older devices and the following disk drive file systems: NTFS, FAT32, Mac OS Extended Journaled and Non-Journaled (HFS+) and EXT-2/EXT-3. The Web-based management console can be accessed via any modern browser.Next: Setup

Things to do, places to visit, what's going on around Tipperary...find out here.
Get on the Water
The second largest lake in Ireland, Lough Derg and the surrounding area is home to Waterside Wonders on Lough Derg and innumerable other water-based activities. Hire a sailing boat at Shannon Sailing in Dromineer or let someone else do the driving and sit back and relax on-board a Spirit of Killaloe Cruise.
Looking for something more action- packed? Why not try your hand at some of the high adrenaline water sports on offer. Everything from swimming to diving and water skiing to windsurfing is available. But if you want to try something a little different, choose Stand Up Paddle Boarding in Ballina Killaloe with Soulkite who offer basic lessons or lake tours for the more adventurous paddler.
Immerse yourself in Waterside Wonders on Lough Derg or If you prefer to keep your feet firmly on the ground why not take to the hills on one of the most scenic walks Ireland has to offer: The Lough Derg Way after all there is no better way to enjoy a region than to roam its countryside.
The Lough Derg Way is a 64 km stretch beginning in Limerick City and follows the bends of the River Shannon all the way to the lakeside village of Dromineer. Along the way you will discover quaint towns such as Killaloe, which was once the home of Brian Boru, the high king of Ireland. If you want something a little more challenging bring your bikes and cycle the Nenagh Cycle loop. There are three routes to choose from, varying in distance, with the shortest comprising of 11 km and the largest 67km.
History at every corner
Over 100 heritage sites straddle the region. Heritage centre's can be found in almost every town, along with Christian artifacts such as round towers and Celtic crosses. So if you're a history buff or just looking for some information on the area's past, where do you begin?
We recommend starting your historical journey at the heritage towns of Killaloe and Ballina. Killaloe in Clare is made up of charming narrow streets, flanked by old shops along the steep hill looking down over the 13th century St. Flannan's cathedral. The town was home to Brian Boru, the High King who united Ireland against the Vikings. Meanwhile, Ballina, located in Tipperary, was an important stopping point for barges travelling up the Shannon to Dublin to deliver their goods. However this began to decline when train lines were set up to link it to other major lines. Next stop has to be Nenagh Castle, the oldest building in the town. In fact its construction in the 13th century laid the foundation for the development of the whole town. Built of limestone rubble, the castle rises to a whopping 100 feet. It's a glorious structure to see. Climb the 101 steps to the top!
Dine in style
The Lough Derg region has an extensive range of eateries on offer that will satisfy your appetite, whether you are looking for a sumptuous meal or light pub bites.
In the mood for Italian? Head to the Tuscany Bistro in the heart of Ballina Killaloe. For local, fresh produce visit The Derg Inn in Terryglass or Larkin's Bar and Restaurant in Garrykennedy.
And if you just want to relax with some delicious home baked scones and cakes and a hot cup of coffee, you should stop off at The Lake Café in Dromineer or in one of the fantastic cafes in Nenagh, only 6km from the lakeshore and a vibrant town that offers an array of eateries like Country Choice, The Pantry, The Peppermill and Cinnamon Alley.

1. vol. Farben, 2. vol. Arbeiten, 3. vol. MaterialArtist book in offset print, designed by Anna Lena von Helldorffwith an essay by Florian Ebner (german/ english)3 volumes, paperback, 40 pages per volume, 20,5x30,5 cm, edition of 450Released 10/2009ISBN 978-3-941601-27-7Released on the occasion of the solo exhibition "16.777.216 Farben" at Galerie Klemm's, Berlin from 23/1 until 6/3/2010.Adrian Sauer is an artist and photographer. In his previous work he deals by digitally recomposed photographs with the conditions and consequences of analogue photographies disappearing for our contemporary image culture.In his artist book "16.777.216 Farben" (16.777.216 colours), Adrian Sauer presents the whole palette of digital painting. The 16.777.216 different colours that the RGB-color space can generate with the additive model of color synthesis are ordered at random, not according to color spectrums. Instead of smooth transitions and fine chromatic difference, there is a flickering expanse of tiny colour squares expressing the idea of the finitude of the space of digital color: what you see is all you get. With this gesture, Adrian Sauer designates his work as Verifiche, as new verifications of the material of photography 40 years after the pioneers of Bildanalytische Photographie (Analytical Photography).

Obama's War
Washington Post blogger Greg Sargent noted last week that "President Obama's announcement of an escalation in the American presence in Afghanistan is being met with mostly silence – and even some support – from the most influential liberal groups who opposed the Iraq War. ... MoveOn.org … declined to make any public statement about Obama's Afghan policies in response to my queries. An official close to the group confirmed to me that MoveOn wouldn't be saying anything in the near term. ... Nor will we hear anything from Americans United for Change, which ran $600,000 worth of TV ads against the Iraq War in the summer of 2007.
War isn't any more right just because a member of your party starts it.
Either you stand for principles, or you are just another apparatchik!
MoveOn have proven they are the latter.

To purchase a copy of IMPACT: After The Crash please CLICK HERE: http://amzn.com/B00G3L0NB6
In the near future we will also have our digital download option available through Vimeo-On-Demand.
Vimeo allows you the option to either rent and watch online or download your own personal copy of the movie straight to your computer.
IMPACT's marketing message about their partnership with MADD: Our mission with this film is not only to inspire others by providing an in-depth look into the lives of the families affected by this crash, but also to promote planning ahead and safe decision making when it comes to the consumption of alcohol. It was important for IMPACT to partner with Mothers Against Drunk Driving® (MADD), the nation's largest nonprofit working to protect families from drunk driving and underage drinking, because of their work in the community and their support of those who have been affected by drunk driving. In fact, MADD was on the ground after the crash, helping these families and continues to help those who suffer because of this 100% preventable crime today. Since MADD's inception in 1980, nationally, the number of drunk driving deaths has been cut in half. From October 1, 2013 through December 31, 2014, IMPACT, LLC wants to be a part of that continued movement by supporting their mission, so will donate $1 to MADD (after net profits) for each DVD sold. Every dollar counts and can help put a stop to this violent crime
