Friday Snapshots
It's my husband's birthday today, his FORTIETH. I turned forty six months ago--painfully, and with lots of foot-dragging. I've felt a little lonely about it, too, being the only one in our house who's that old.
But now my husband gets to join me on the other side, in this strange, uncomfortable-feeling new decade--the one that will find us negotiating together our children's teenage years. He's been close-lipped about how he feels about forty, but I'm sure there's some angst in there, somewhere, buried under all the nonchalance.
Yesterday T. asked me how old Papa was going to be.
"Forty," I told her.
"Is that really old?" she asked.
I didn't hesitate a second. "No, it's not really old."
"It sounds old," she said.
And really, that IS the problem with forty, It does sound old, no matter how you look at it.
The other day I was riding the elevator with two students. They were talking about another girl they knew.
"Is she STILL on campus?" one of them asked.
"She's still here!" the other answered.
"How old is she?"
"She's 23!"
"Girl, she's as old as DIRT!"
It's been jarring, really, to think that all this time I've been walking around not only dangerously overweight at 130 pounds, but also, apparently, older than dirt.
Happy Weekend!
There was a point when Scooter would guess our age and move higher if he was wrong (like 55 to 75), so by that token, 40 is quite young.
For me, "old" generally stays a bit ahead of my mother's age, though it was something of a shift for me when my last grandparent passed away and my parents' generation became the family elders.
Oh I'm feeling it already and I don't turn 40 until September! Many of my friends have already had this milestone birthday and it has been interesting watching them "go through" it, and it's a process apparently! I'm talking gym memberships, hair makeovers, new diets, new wardrobes...anything to make them feel better about it. I don't know, that's too much effort for this lazy mom, but I can totally understand the desire to go into it with gusto.
And there is nothing but NOTHING to make you feel older than spending a lot of time on a college campus!
It's just been a parade of ego boosts for you this week, hasn't it?! :-)
For some reason, I am intimidated by 40. I guess I have a few years to get comfortable with it...but it does sound different! Lately I've just been noticing how OLD my just-out-of-college colleagues make me feel. I wonder about how I seemed at 23, and wondered how it will feel to keep getting older and older and the just-out-of-college colleagues will always be that same age. I'm going to have to ponder that a bit more before I know exactly how it makes me feel.

Hey, I'm Mary!
I am a relief pharmacist in Washington State. My husband and I are full time RVer's, currently hosting at Kitsap Memorial Park.
I love to travel, learn about different cultures from mine, go to movies, read, surf the web. I don't have a favorite travel destination, because I have fallen in love with every place I have visited. My weak point is food. I just can't eat anything that isn't "normal" to me.
I enjoy staying at airnbn places, because it gives me a sense of where I'm visiting, rather than a generic hotel. Sometimes the hosts are away, and I always leave the place as clean as I can. I respect that this place belongs to someone else.
I would say my life motto is the Golden Rule.

Important Moments In Pop History - Part 2
After all the excitement generated by part one of this major new BBC research project, it has taken ChartBlog's scientists a little while to compile all of the necessary data for Part 2. This isn't because there is a lack of resources, more that the information we're getting is so sensitive, and potentially career-damaging* that it became vitally important to check all the facts before rushing to the keypad to
make write the whole thing up.
Thankfully, we are now in a position to release this to the world. Read, process, file, there will probably be a test.
Part 2: The Saturdays Get Their Name...
(What follows is taken from an encripted text document, a saved record of a conversation on instant messenger with all five of the Saturdays. It is not dated.)
Una says: Ladies, ladies. I have brought you here to discuss a very important issue. The name of our band. Now I have compiled a list of names that I like, and you can currently find them sellotaped to the fridge.
Vanessa says: Oh those were yours? I thought they were a list of the worst band names ever made ever. They're in the bin now.
Una says: But...but...that took me ages...
Frankie says: I fink it wud be wkd 2 B called Muddy Bomb Surprise, or Bogey Bang Pop!
Rochelle says: Hmm, would you want to keep the exclamation mark on the end there? I kind of like it, especially as it's on the word 'pop'...y'know, like something actually going POP! and pop music. That's clever.
Frankie says: Explanation mark? Wot? Wear?
Mollie says: I think those are perfectly horrid and ghastly names for a band of pretty girls like us. And that exclamation mark is just common. I think we should be called something lovely, like the Pink Tulips, or Daffodil Huggy-Buns...
Frankie says: Urr! That's sooo ga-
Rochelle says: OMG FRANKIE! You KNOW we don't use that word, don't you? It's homophonic.
Vanessa says: No it isn't. Homophonic means it sounds like something else. What you mean is sexist.
Frankie says: R U saing I am thu sexist owt of us lott? YUK!
Rochelle says: What if we mixed the two together? Something sweet and cuddly, but also tough and scary. Should we be called Laser Kittens, or Spiky Teds?
Frankie says: SPIKY TEDS! I love that!
Una says: NO WE CAN NOT! Statistically there is a 67% chance that a band called Spiky Teds will fail. I've been compiling a database of band names, you see...
Vanessa says: Yeah, and actually I think people are going to just FLOCK to see a group of girls called Laser Kittens, don't you?
Rochelle says: Well people like Dr Who, don't they? And people definitely like kittens, what's so wrong with putting them together?
Frankie says: *sings Dr Who theme* Duddley-dum, duddley-dum, duddley-dum, duddley-duddley duddley-dum, duddley dum, duddley-dum oooo-WEE-OOOOOH! WEEE-OOOOOOOH!
Mollie says: Francesca! Stop that at once! You've scared Mr Sniffles off my lap, and he's knocked the antimacassar off the rocking chair.
Vanessa says: To answer your question, Rochelle, it's because people who like lasers don't necessarily like kittens and people who like kittens don't necessarily like lasers! You're ruining the one thing with the other.
Rochelle says: Shiny Teds then...?
Una says: According to the database, Shiny Teds would be even less successful than Spiky Teds. What people seem to really like is bands with mundane names. Names which remind them of boring things in their lives. Think about the Spice Girls - kitcheny.
Rochelle says: Yeah, or Elbow, or Girls Aloud...
Vanessa says: So, what, we need to think of something, maybe a body part, that is as boring as Elbow, and that's our new name?
Frankie says: THE BUMS!
Mollie says: CERTAINLY NOT!
Una says: Actually, the Bums scores 83%, but it's impractical.
Vanessa says: Alright then, madame swotty, what's the highest scoring word?
Una says: I'm glad you asked that. It seems that things off the calendar are popular. There's that band September, a rock band called Thursday, the Sundays, Freaky Friday, January, Brian May...all very popular.
Rochelle says: So you think we should be called Wednesday June the 5th, do you? Won't that make the name hard to read?
Mollie says: That's very close to mummy's birthday, actually. She'll be thrilled!
Vanessa says: People have a hard time spelling Wednesday...surely another day of the week would be better? Something weekendy?
Frankie says: Put an explanation mark on it!
Rochelle says: Actually, I was kidding about the date. Surely the name of a day or a month should be enough?
Vanessa says: It's still kind of lame though, isn't it?
Una says: Yeah. Ah well, never mind. I'm sure we'll think of something.
Rochelle says: Maybe Laser Kittens was OK after all...?

The staff was friendly and went out of their way to make our feel comfortable.
We were charged $12,00 for a glass of milk.
The hotel staff was warm and friendly. The hotel is beautiful and the amenities were great. We stay in a suite with an adjourning room. This was nice as our daughter could watch her own T.V. Our room was decorated beautifully and large enough for our six year old to move about. We felt the restaurants were outstand especially Steak Exchange. Far exceeded our expectations. Loved the assortment of salts. ...

Re: How good was Dariusz Michalczewski
Very entertaining fighter, I ve seen most of his matches and i cant remember any dull encounter of his. As to the Jones fight, it seemed neither of them wanted to make the move out of his respective backyard and as we dont know what went on or was negotiated behind closed doors its vain to blame this or that fighter for weaseling out of the match. Both accused the respectively other of ducking them.
DM has provided the boxing crowd in Germany with numerous thrillers, late on in his career with his skills eroding he was known to start slowly and trail on points and (most of the time) still come back to stop the other guy in the middle to later rounds. Excellent accurate and fast jab, killer left hook, good chin and superb stamina were his best assets, he never was an outstandingly rapid mover and his defence was rather penetrable to put it midly actually his best defence was his chin. He was a face first come forward fighter and thats the sort of fighter that usually burns out quickly, astonishing feat he managed to cling on for so long.
He shouldnt have come back for the Tiozzo fight, he was shot by then.

Thank you!
Please, help to decrease white space above and below logo area.
Thank you!
Hi Dreamstone, can you please post the link of your page.
Also, in order to make changes, you need to create the Child Theme.
Hi, Mybdbis!
Here is my site http://luckykids-club.ru/
Thank you for advice! Forgot about creating child theme.
Now try this into your stylesheet of Child Theme:
.hgroup-wrap {
padding-bottom: 0;
padding-top: 0;
Done. But it seems there is no changes.
I have checked your site again and its still showing below:
.hgroup-wrap {
padding-bottom: 35px;
padding-top: 15px;
Make sure your child theme is activated and you made the changes in the style.css file in your Child Theme
Got it!
I have to go some other way, using plugin for custom CSS (http://wordpress.org/plugins/pc-custom-css/) and paste your code.
Now area below logo disappeared.
I think, area above logo can be removed the same method.
Thank you very much!
Glad it works.
The Plugin is workable. But the best method is to create a Child theme and make edit on the CSS file (style.css) in Child Theme by 'Editor' under 'Appearance' from Dashboard. This way, it will never alter the base theme.
All the best!!
OK! Thanks again for upgrading my (and other users) skill!
My pleasure indeed.
Good that you already resolved this issue!
Actually you have an option to put your custom CSS in the theme. Go to Theme Options - Other - Custom CSS. It will act the same way like your previously mentioned plugin.
And like @mybdbis mentioned, it is better to use Child Theme. This will work any time under any circumstances if done right.
Could I please have suggestions on what to set the hgroupwrap if I wish the slider to remain? Setting it at 0,0 of course removes everything and then when I go to adjust settings within child's theme it will not re adjust. Must I delete and start again?
Also while I'm here I'd really appreciate advices on moving the primary header up to the top of the nav slider header picture?

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

If I have an image and its 2-D DFT of that image, what is the mapping between the value of the DFT at (u,v), and the frequency in the spatial domain in the x and y components, in cycles/pixel? I want to be able to say "There is a peak in the DFT at (u,v), which corresponds to this frequency". I don't think the answer is u cycles/pixel, since the values shift with different image sizes, even if the image content remains the same.

Well the Nyquist frequency is 0.5 cycles / pixel and the range of frequencies can be considered to range from -0.5 to +0.5 cycles / pixel. So if the dimension in a given axis is N pixels then each pixel is
Depending on your particular DFT/FFT implementation you may have zero frequency in the middle of the image (M/2, N/2) or in the corner (0, 0). For the former case the spatial frequency at u, v will be:

The rough sex aficionado, but stock with caution.
Khan Tusion has long been the dark horse of the rough sex sub-genre, bringing a D/s-style rough trade mind-fuck to each scene. Make no mistake, JM deserves as much credit for putting such porn-slut profiling on the market. Meanwhile, Khan never shows his face, and his vocals are obscured. Probably a good idea, considering.
After years of director/performer pre-scene "bullshitting" Khan's "gonzo" dialogues function as psychologically-charged foreplay. All the usual rough-trade suspects have their cocks gagged on, asses eaten, toes sucked, you name it. Gallons of spit and furious face-slaps abound. Some (probably most) may find such roller-coaster carnality too intense. Misogyny or revolutionary- you decide.
Let's pre-nom Khan and JM's bastard child with a Best Gonzo Series nod.

I have a new goal for America. Let's go a whole week without these "Christians" molesting children. How about it America? Can we try that just for a week?
I never thought of it like that before. Hmmmm. . .
So Dan, to you think there are a given number of child molesters in the world and they all gravitate to churches, the Boy Scouts and schools, because that's where the kids are? Kind of like the bank robber who robbed banks because that's where the money is? Or that the existence of churches creates child molesters? Do societies with fewer or less well attended churches have fewer child rapists?
I'm just asking.
I'm a stone cold atheist, and think religions are a complete waste of time, but your argument is unconvincing.
Try these sentences out:
If kids got raped at Dennys as often as they do in doctor's offices...
If kids got raped at Dennys as often as they do in police cars...
If kids got raped at Dennys as often as they do in public schools...
Some percentage of authority figures are malformed and use their authority to abuse those in their care. Deal with it.
And by "your", I mean Dan not elenchos...
Keep me out of this Dan. You owe me that much.
Its sick enough to read about child abuse, but these inane extrapolations are getting so tiresome. It just recently happened in a mosque.
We only need focus on the fact that there is a percentage of evil people in every venue where there are kids.
I have a Youth Pastor Watch, winde it up and its hands are all over you.
if you're repressed enough to become a christian 'youth pastor' in your 20s, when you should be out screwing your way through the phone book on the way to finding a mate, then it only follows that you're going to try & screw what is at hand.
monotheist religion warps sexuality. warped sexuality compromises ethics.
Dan, on this issue your perspective differs from that of Ann Coulter only slightly. The essential difference is that she rants about the evils of Muslims and liberals, whereas for you it's Christians and Republicans. This post is just atheist spank material.
@10, but the problem is where are the stories of Athiest child molesters?
@11: I dunno, but I can find plenty of stories about mall Santas and school teachers raping their students, as well as sports coaches. Should we burn down the malls, the schools, and the sports stadiums?
I'd rather be raped in a church than be dining at a Denny's.
@11, well the athiest clild molestors are likely down the street at that day orphanage (oops I mean day care) center.
Is THAT why they tore down the one in Ballard?
Perhaps atheist child molesters pretend to believe in God so they can join a church and get access to the kids. Especially if they don't know how to coach soccer.
It could be that churches are worse at screening people than little league or public schools. But I haven't heard any evidence one way or another. So do more secular societies have fewer kids assaulted?
The only way to completely eliminate this sort of thing would be to eliminate all positions where adults teach, babysit, or in any way interact with children when their parents aren't around.
The real scandal with churches in when they try to cover it up.
Sounds like a plan to me.
Funny thing though, you never hear about licensed daycare workers raping children. Why is that, do you think?
@14, i'm inclined to agree. The thought of going to Denny's tends to induce depression.
Is this why you're voting for Mike Huckabee, Dan? According to the Washington Post, everyone is.
Certainly it is true that if you boarded up all the churches tomorrow, you would not eliminate child molesters. They'd just find another way to do their dirty deeds.
However, churches are not completely innocent. Churches that force their clergy to repress any sexual outlet are only screwing up their priests/ministers. They are exacerbating the situation and asking for trouble. Churches as a whole do a lousy job screening clergy who work with children. Schools and daycare centers do a much better job screening. Churches allow and even encourage private interaction between clergy and children. Schools and daycare centers usually have policies that forbid or discourage private interaction between the staff and kids. The church has had a longstanding and broad history of covering for child molesters and just moving them to different churches. If a teacher or daycare worker is accused of child molesting they are promptly and thoroughly investigated. If guilty they are fired and/or jailed.
So while churches don't directly cause child molesting, they do little to curb it and a lot to facilitate it and cover it up. If I had a kid, I wouldn't let him/her anywhere near a church.
for everyone who thinks churches are a bastion for this problem, check this out:
if children were getting raped at denny's with the frequency they get at school, the Lumberjack Slam® would be a lot more popular.
@14 ha! feel for me: first job... denny's.
My grandparents told me that, after all of the Catholic priest abuse scandals started showing up in the news, they (finally) started screening childcare volunteers at their church for sexual offenses or offenses against children - I think they actually give real background checks. Nice to know that, however slowly, at least some of the fundies are evolving on this issue...
I actually went to college in Lakeland, Florida where this youth pastor operated. Over a late-night meal in Denny's there I was once propositioned by an almost stereotypically skeezy looking child-molester to come to his place and watch "some films I made with children".
True story that is a strange nexus of Denny's and fucked up sex.
How bout that?
C'mon, Dan. Where kids congregate, the molesters will too. We're not gonna shut down all schools, Boy Scout troops, pediatricians' offices, little leagues, ballet schools, etc. because some children will get molested at them.
Statistically, you're off anyhow. At any given time, between 1/4 and 1/3 of Americans attend religious services weekly, and you get close to half for attending around once a month. That's up to 150 million people who go to church at least on a monthly basis. About a quarter of the US population is under 18, so, 32.5 million children in church at least once a month, being conservative, since fundies do like having lots of kids. And how many get molested by their clergy?
How do schools hold up to those numbers? How about Campfire Boys and Girls? Either way, I bet schools, youth clubs, and churches all hold up spectacularly next to home sweet home. Remember, the most likely person to molest a child is a family member.
One aspect being overlooked here is the trust factor. Established offenders are going to be attracted to situations where there is a culture of trust, and where better than churches for that? An active population that actively wants to believe the best of the others in their midst as well as innate goodness of people - especially members of their own faith. Of course they are going to be juicy targets for manipulators devoid of conscience. They always have been and always will be.
Also not mentioned is the promise of a 'cure' for sin that many of these churches promise. They get people with deep-seated issues with abuse of authority or children and tell them Jeebus will fix them if they just 'Believe!' Years later they're well integrated into the church community and they still aren't fixed just repressed and only the opportunity is needed for it all to come out. Churches offer comfort to alot of people that are vulnerable or marginalized in the community and can often be very sheltered from the wider community as well enhancing those opportunities.
Then add in situations like the catholics where you have entire populations of sexually repressed church leaders up and down the hierarchy, along with a paranoiac need to protect the church's image, and it would be a miracle if these abuses weren't happening.
Religion itself is not the problem and no religion is immune. It is the specific social, cultural and economic situations that allow authoritarian religion to flourish that also attracts abusers.
I hate to say it, but child molestation is just not that black and white. Take the BSA; they have very strict policies against molestation ("Two Deep" Leadership) and yet boys still get abused, adults arrested. You yourself Dan just posted an article about a 25 year old female teacher kidnapping her 13 year old student without very much fanfare. What, is a female predator at school not as bad as a male religious predator? Tad sexist, n'est pas?
What makes these policies especially damaging is that there are genuinely good adults out there who are unable to reach out to kids because of the Culture of Fear... Boy Scout leaders who suspect abuse in the family but can't speak to the child alone about it, and it's difficult enough to get a victim to talk alone to a trusted person, let alone two.
Why the attack on churchs? I agree whole heartedly with you that these bastards are sick... But I don't think it's necessarily religion that inspires it, it's more organizations that inspire that trust and bonding but can be abused. Even BSA policies can be manipulated. How bout you post some articles about boys getting molested at camp or at all-boy schools with as much vigor?
My simple rule: anyone who wants to work with children is a molester. Youth pastors should be randomly picked from the adult pastorate; scout leaders should be picked from the childfree movement.
This is a strawman argument. Everyone knows Denny's is a wholesale child rape clearinghouse and nobody has ever lifted a finger to burn any of them down.
I've never been raped in a Denny's, but every time I go there's an orgy in my mouth.
Agreed--typical atheist, anti-Denny's propaganda.
"Police said a youth minister was arrested for allegedly having sex with more than one child."
I like the wording, it implies that the crime was having sex with MORE THAN ONE child. That it would have been okay if he'd done just one, or just one at a time.
No, no, Dan. It's completely different, see, churches benefit society by... uh... oh, they don't pay any taxes at all, do they? Make churches pay taxes, and add on a special "fucking children up" tax. If they don't pay -- they'll probably refuse -- seize their property, in other words, the churches, and sell them to Denny's.

I used this in conjunction with the Prime Time Teeth Whitening Pen (see below) but it should work with any of the teeth whitening systems out there. Since I didn't do an independant test [using the pen without this pretreatment], I can't say how much of a difference it would make without it, but I must admit that the combination didn't cause the sensitivity that I've gotten from other teeth whitening products I've used in the past [strips, trays, etc]. It's an extra step to pre-treat, but it takes about thirty seconds to do, so it's not going to cost you much time. To minimize sensitivity and, according to the manufacturer, speed up the process, it's worth the small amount of extra work.
I tried this before using the Prime Time Smile teeth whitening pen, it seemed to make the whitening pen a little less tingly when I applied it to my teeth, however I'm not sure if it really made a difference on the effectiveness of the actual whitening pen. It's easy to use and a little goes a long way, I've been using it for almost 2 weeks twice a day every day and it hasn't run out.
I have been using the Prime Time Smile Pre-Treatment Pen in conjuction with the Prime Time Smile Whitening Pen daily for over a week now. I am thrilled with both products.
Specifically the Pre-Treatment Pen works wonders for the painful sensitivity I always experience with teeth whitening products. I have had no pain at all when I use this Pre-Treatment Pen.
It is well worth the price. It is simple to use, you twist the bottom of the pen to get the gel to come up thru the brush, then brush the gel on your teeth immeditely before you use your whitening product.
I love this product!!!!
You can use this with any whitening system, not just the Prime Time Smile products.
I really did not think that this could enhance my Crest strips when I bought it. The Crest strips do make my teeth sensitive and I was doubtful that this product could affect that. To my surprise, I noticed a substantial decrease in sensitivity! Sure, it is an extra step with the strips, but I am no longer fearing the pain for the days after I whiten. Next, I will try the complete Prime Time Smile package next and let you all know how it goes.
As described by other reviewers, it did reduce sensitivity, unlike other brads which leave my teeth highly sensitive.
I made, that's right-made, my husband use the Prime Time Smile Pre-Treatment Pen along with the Prime Time Teeth Whitening Pen.
He insisted that if it there was no difference in 5 days he would stop using it. However, although he was skeptical he used it twice a day and after a few days we were both surprised that his coffee stains had disappeared.
It is easy to use – just twist (a few more twists than specified in the booklet) and brush it on. So simple that even my husband could do it There was no burning or sensitivity as he predicted there would be and after a few minutes he forgot he had applied anything to his teeth.
All in all great value for money and his teeth look great!
I have used along with prime whitening pen, it worked and moreover didn't feel sensitivity with my teeth. Normally my teeth is sensitive and have trouble with other products.
So easy to use. Apply before a whitener and it helps speed the process and applies very smoothly. No weird taste or sensitivity. Works great!
I used this with the Prime Time Teeth Whitening Pen. I didn't try the pen without this pretreatment, so I can't say how much of a difference it would have made without it, but the combination didn't cause the sensitivity that I've gotten from other teeth whitening products I've used in the past (strips, trays), and my teeth whitened a few noticeable shades, so I was very satisfied with the combination.
Super easy to use, the pen is like brushing on the pre-treatment.
Both myself and my partner tried out the Prime Time Smile pre-treatment pen. We both noticed a difference within a week. Both of us are coffee drinkers so stains tend to happen. The best part is unlike the Crest White Stripes, there was not sensitivity problems with my gums. I found this product super easy to use and apply. Loved the simple applicator. Makes for simple and no mess application.
I used this pre-treatment pen with the recommended teeth whitening product. This pre-treatment pen worked will to whiten my teeth and was very easy to use. This is not a whitener, this is to be used in congruence with any whitener of your choice. It helps by decreasing the sensitivity of your teeth and increasing the efficiency of the product. Overall this product was very easy to use with no mess.
This is a good alternative to the tray method, the one that you leave in your mouth for a period of time. This is much easier to use, less messy, and can take it to go anywhere and use it any anytime.
Also much, much less expensive than the ZOOM method I tried, which was a few hundred dollars.
If you're looking to brighten your teeth without having to pay a bunch of money, this would be it.
I used the pre-treatment pen along with the whitening pen. I tried trays in the past but this by far is the easiest system. There was no sensitivity when I brushed it on and believe me I was waiting for that. I saw results with 8 days. I've tried several teeth whitening systems and this is the most reasonably priced and showed results! I would highly recommend this product.
I cannot say enough about how easy it is to use the Prime Time Smile system. Like other reviewers, I have always used this pre-treatment pen with the Prime Time whitening pen. I felt a little bit of tingling and numbness in my gums with the system, but nothing uncomfortable. I like the fact that you can use the pre-treatment pen with other brands and products.
I used this with the whitening pen. Both products work great together. I found it really easy, not time consuming and it works. I don't know how well it would work without the pre-whitening pen, but with all the money I saved from going the laser way, I didn't mind trying the two together. My teeth look really good.
I'm guessing this pen really helped. I have trays and my tray for the bottom teeth KILL me the next day. After using this pen, I was impressed. No sensitivity. How is that possible? I'm so glad I found this product. I'm going to try the pen and see if I like it. I get tired of wearing the trays overnight.
Exceeded my expectations. My only complaint is that the bristles on the brushes pull out easily while using and could get stuck between my teeth if I wasn't careful. Compared to other whiteners I have used in the past, sensitivity was virtually non-existent.
Putting this product on BEFORE applying the whitening formulas really helps. Made my teeth and gums less sensitive to the bleaching in the whitening pen. Not quite sure how it worked (wasn't really a numbing paste)...but, did its job!
I used this with the whitening pen. I really liked it. I have never tried trays or Crest Strips, but for the ease and price, my experience was really positive as far as a teeth whitening product is concerned. I would buy again.
Used this with other whitening pen. My teeth were not sensitive at all. This is really affordable compared to those laser trips to the dentist. I liked it and felt that it worked well. I was also super easy to deal with.

I've done a search and haven't found anything close to what I need. I need to be able to delete posts that haven't been updated in a few months. To do this I would like to be able to filter the list of posts in the "Manage" area by the date they were last updated so I could delete them manually. If there is another way I'd be glad to try that as well. I just see the "Manage-Post" section as the easiest.
I can't trust the editors to change the post date when they update nor would it be fair because it would put them up as a new post.
I've tried the "recently updated posts" plugin but it lists the newest and I'm after the least updated.
Hope that make sense. Thanks for looking.

Neighbors want something done about blighted trailer in Gray
Published: Monday, May 28, 2007 at 10:48 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 28, 2007 at 10:56 a.m.
HOUMA -- An abandoned trailer in Gray has been a magnet for drug activity for several months, said some neighborhood residents, who allege parish officials have done little to rid the neighborhood of the blighted property.
But parish officials say they never got word that the trailer was a bother until last week. Now that they have been alerted, they say they will take action.
Jeannette Porche, who doesnt live in the neighborhood, said she and her sister, who does live there, have contacted the parish repeatedly over the past seven months about a trailer on Champion Street thats been broken into and spray-painted with profanities. Though she hasnt personally seen any drugs in or around the trailer, Porche said neighbors assume thats the case.
"The obvious reason (for concern) is because my godchild lives there. Thats my family," Porche said.
Porche said her sister sent two e-mails to the parish and has called several times. Other neighbors have complained since August, she said.
Officials at the parish Planning and Zoning Department, however, said they never received messages from Porche. Last week, Porche got a response by e-mail: The parish would inspect the property for tall-grass and abandoned-structure violations. If the property is in violation, officials will send the owner written notice. If nothing changes, the trailer will be considered for condemnation.
Hundreds of abandoned buildings and homes are scattered across the parish. In 2003, the local government surveyed properties and found about 500 buildings needed major repairs. Most of those were unoccupied, said Pat Gordon, parish planning-and-zoning director.
"After Hurricane Rita, Im sure that number could double easily," he said. "It really creates a problem when structures are vacant in any neighborhood. ... I would have to say 90 percent of vacant homes have problems with people going into them."
About 60 or 70 structures are on the list for possible condemnation, Gordon said.
The parish works to resolve problems with damaged and vacant homes through condemnation hearings, which are usually held every 90 days.
About a dozen properties are brought up each hearing, and a new property isnt added until one is taken off the list, which occurs when the owner fixes it or the parish condemns it. Once a house is condemned the owner has a certain number of days to tear down the building, or the parish will do it and bill the owner for the work and administrative fees. But often times, the issues arent resolved, and many houses stay in hearing for years.
"Were trying to bring it to the (Terrebonne Parish) Council in phases so we dont overwhelm them so they can do what they need to do," Gordon said.
At the last condemnation hearing, May 21, the Parish Council condemned six of 16 homes.
"The council is showing theyre taking a much more aggressive approach to tearing these structures down," Gordon said.
While the parish tackles these legal matters, local law enforcement have ways of dealing with troublesome abandoned properties, said Mike Russell, administrative agent for the Terrebonne Parish Sheriffs Narcotics Division.
If you suspect that drugs are being sold at an abandoned house, youre encouraged to call narcotics agents at 879-4964. Officers can arrest people for illegal drug use and trespassing, Russell said. But neighbors need to work with officers to catch trespassers in the act.
"If people know about this, it would behoove them to call us," Russell said.
Staff Writer Naomi King can be reached at 857-2209 or email@example.com.

Original art by Scott Dalrymple of Kitty Pryde.
This is one of the best drawings I've found of Kitty Pryde. How are you not drawing for Marvel? You've captured her spirit, and you got the proportion of Lockheed right! So many artists tend to draw him too small. The relationship between Lockheed and Kitty is summed up in her coy and playful expression. Well done! If you ever decide to sell this as a print, please give me a shout. I'll be your first customer!

Oh exploitable
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
- Not to be confused with Oh internet, which is not a thing anymore thankfully
Oh exploitable! is 4chan's way of pointing out the potential lulz-capability of an image. The moment a raw/unshopped funny picture shows up, it is usually photoshoped into a macro including the words "OH EXPLOITABLE!!!111!"
It started originally with a wordfilter from "noes" to "exploitable" on /b/, combating the overuse of the catchphrase oh noes.
A snowclone is the textual counterpart to an exploitable image, such as I accidentally X or X Y is X.

I recently added the code for a 468 x 60 ad block underneath my header area and right above where my blog posts begin. It looks just perfect in both Chrome and Firefox, but of course, it's hidden and looks horrible in IE.
Can someone please take a look at my site (http://www.mommylivingthelifeofriley.com) and suggest a fix for IE so that the blog posts don't cover up the ad space? If this isn't possible, is there a way for IE to just ignore the 468 x 60 ad block code altogether?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Martin said Webb was arrested Jan. 14 in Murrietta, Calif., and
awaits extradition to Alabama.
Murrietta is approximately 50 miles north of San Diego.

Bad news folks: it looks like eating all those nasty fish oil supplements isn't really as good for your heart as once thought.
Health.com reported a new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association that claims the supplements are not very effective at protecting the heart at all.
Fish oil supplements contain omega-3 fatty acids, which are commonly found in cold-water fish such as salmon, herring, tuna and trout.
Omega-3 acids have been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce triglycerides and prevent heart rhythm abnormalities, but clinical trials investigating whether this equates to lower risk of heart attacks and strokes have produced mixed results.
In the study, researchers reexamined data from 20 previous clinical trials, involving almost 70,000 patients. From the study, researchers concluded that fish oil supplements were no more effective at reducing cardiovascular problems than a placebo.
However, diets rich in fish and omega-3 have been linked to a lower risk of heart attack, so why did the supplement trial have such poor results?
Inconsistencies in the trial details may take some of the blame, but it remains a possibility that the fish oil doesn't provide the same benefits of the omega-3s as it does in its natural form.
According to Dr. John Erwin III, a cardiologist at Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine, this has occurred before with other types of supplements.
Diets that are high in vitamins C and E appear to reduce the risk for heart disease, but their corresponding supplements don't, and may even be harmful to the heart, says Erwin.
Moral of the story: Get your omega-3s the natural way and eat two to three servings of cold-water fish per week.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) _ A former Hutchinson man who disappeared 20 years ago before going on trial for a fatal traffic accident has pleaded guilty a month after being arrested re-entering the country.
Miguel R. Rangel Zubia entered the plea yesterday to one count of aggravated vehicular homicide in the death of his pregnant wife, Sanjuana Lorena Velazquez. She was killed on New Year's Day in 1988.
Zubia was originally bound over for a June 1988 trial but disappeared before the trial started.
In exchange for the plea, Reno County District Attorney Keith Schroeder agreed to dismiss the charge of failing to appear. Since the crime took place in 1998, Rangel Zubia will be subject to that year's sentencing laws.

Arsene Wenger knows that Arsenal could face a Liverpool side tonight that is desperate to bounce back from the disappointment of going out of the FA cup to League 1 Oldham. The result and the performance at Boundary Park could have a negative effect on team spirit and confidence, but Brendan Rodgers will be doing everything he can to ensure that his players are galvanised into an extra effort against the Gunners tonight.
Tag Archives: Oldham
Why Arsenal MUST play Giroud against Liverpool
If Arsene Wenger was thinking of doing a bit of tinkering with the Arsenal team, that is obviously his perogative (not Bobby Brown's). The one change that he should not even consider, however, is the inclusion of Olivier Giroud. With the Frenchman having scored two goals in each of his last two games, this probably will not seem like a radical idea, but that is not the only reason why Wenger must have him in the starting line up tomorrow.
Arsenal vs. Liverpool Statistical Preview
Arsenal host Liverpool in the Premier league on Wednesday, and it is yet another absolutely crucial match at the Emirates. If Liverpool win they will join the Gunners on 37 points, and if Arsenal win they will put daylight between the clubs and keep up the chase on Everton and Spurs for fourth spot.

Artadi Vinas de Gain 2001
Tempranillo from Rioja, Spain
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2001 Vinas de Gain (100% Tempranillo) is a fabulous effort for the price (one of the best buys in the marketplace). Aged in French oak casks (about 40% new) for 12-14 months, it boasts a deep purple color to the rim as well as a perfume of raspberries, blackberries, crushed stones, and white flowers. With extraordinary precision, definition, and finesse, great elegance, wonderful sweetness, medium body, and a gorgeously textured finish, it caresses the palate, offering considerable personality and overall symmetry."
Artadi Winery
The Artadi estate was created in 1985 by the dynamic visionary winemaker, Juan Carlos Lopez de la Calle. His objective was to seek and nurture the concept that Tempranillo, when cultivated at high altitude, low-cropped, and from old vines, produces extraordinarily rich and profound wines. This, coupled with specific barrel treatments (with minor American oak influences) produces some of Rioja's best wines.
Artadi is about purity of extracted fruit with almost Burgundian textures. In fact, critics have often compared these wines to the top wines of Chambolle-Musigny and other top appellations of Burgundy. The key to this level of elegance comes from the cold wines of the Pyrenees which blow from the north. This coupled with moderate temperatures tend to make these wines a study in elegance and power, the iron fist in a velvet glove if you will. They are some of the most extraordinary examples of Tempranillo in the world. View all Artadi Wines
About RiojaView a map of Rioja wineries (ree-OH-hah) Spain makes some of the best Tempranillo-based wines in the world. Once the only DOCa (recently joined by Priorat in 2001), Rioja is divided into 3 sub-regions: Rioja Baja, Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa. There are 4 red varieties and 3 white varieties allowed in the Rioja DOC. Tempranillo definitely takes center stage, followed by Garnacha (Grenache)), which is sometimes added for body, then Graciano and Mazuelo (Carignan). The region also makes roses. For whites, the main grape is Viura (or Macebo), producing fresh, early-drinking wines. Malvasia, the grape that was once the most planted white, is found less often.
Notable FactsThe Rioja wine trade is somewhat confusing. Grapes are typically brought to a merchant's bodega from one of the 20,000+ growers in the region, or via a cooperative. The wine is then bottled and labelled by that bodega. Rioja's Consejo Regulador keeps track of all vineyards and bodegas to make sure they are following the DOCa regulations. Put in place to ensure quality, the system also controls prices.
As with the rest of Spain, the wine label may state Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, depending on barrel & bottle maturation. Crianzas are usually found within two years of the vintage and offer fresh, ripe wines. Reserva and Gran Reserva will be found a few years after the vintage, as the bodega will be aging the wines in barrel and bottle before release. Both typically show more secondary characteristics of spice and oak ageing.
About Spain
The most popular red varieties of Spain include Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache). Whites don't garner quite as much recognition, but there are some regional varieties not to be missed, like Albarino and Verdejo. The popular red regions of Spain include Rioja, known for its outstanding wines of the Tempranillo grape; Ribera del Duero, producing high quality reds from Tempranillo and Garnacha; Galacia, with the sub-region of Rias Baixas, home to the deliciously crisp and floral Albarino grape; and Priorat, a region increasing in popularity with its high-quality cult reds. Other regions of note are Rueda, growing the Verdejo grape, La Mancha, a wide desert region, covered in the most planted white variety in the world, Airen, and Jumilla, making wines based on Monastrell (Mourvedre).
Spain's wine laws are based on the Denominacion de Origen (DO) classification system, devised in the 1930's. A four tiered system, the most basic level is Vina de Mesa (table wine) followed by Vino de la Tierra (country wine), DO and at the top DOC. Currently, only Rioja and Priorat have DOC status, while over 65 DO's scatter the country.
Most DO regions are classified and regulated by how long they age the wines. On a red wine label, one may find the terms Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, denoting the wine's barrel and bottle time. Crianza is usually two years between barrel and bottle (the time in each depends on the DO and/or the winemaker), Reserva up to 4 years and Gran Reserva 5 – 6 years. Classifications of each region and wine are controlled by the region's Consejo Regulador.

Yahoo Decides to Friend Facebook
Yahoo Inc. YHOO -0.10 % watched as social-networking website Facebook Inc. stole the attention of users and grabbed a major share of the online-advertising market.
Now the Internet pioneer is following an old mantra: If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
After struggling for years to develop services that compete with the social network, Yahoo in recent months has installed tools such as Facebook's "Like" and "Share" buttons on its news and sports websites in order to help Yahoo users share articles with their contacts on Facebook, among other things.
Yahoo, like other content providers, is seeking to leverage Facebook's huge user base to draw more traffic back to Yahoo after readers click on the sharing buttons. The moves also are aimed at ensuring that links to Yahoo content appear in the search feature on Facebook's site. Yahoo is using similar approaches with Twitter Inc., the Internet messaging service, and Zynga Game Network Inc., which offers online social games.
WSJ Blogs
Yahoo hopes the moves will solve one of its biggest problems—a 10% slide in the time users collectively spent per month on Yahoo sites last year, according to research firm comScore. Yahoo's internal research shows the main culprit for the slide is Facebook, people familiar with the matter said.
"'Frenemy'—part friend, part enemy—is where Yahoo finds itself with Facebook," said David Karnstedt, a former senior vice president of North American sales at Yahoo and currently chief executive of online marketing firm Efficient Frontier.
The enemy part, Mr. Karnstedt said, is that Facebook's ad business is big and growing fast, sometimes at Yahoo's expense. "The friend part is that Yahoo has stopped trying to get people not to go to Facebook and decided it was better off enabling that, largely because it didn't have a real choice," he added.
"I think 'frenemy' is not the right word. That implies more enemy than friend," said Dan Rose, Facebook's vice president of partnerships and platform marketing.
Yahoo Chief Executive Carol Bartz recently called Facebook her company's top competitor. That is certainly true in U.S. display ads, a market that reached nearly $9 billion in 2010. Yahoo was No. 1 with 16.2% of the market, down from 16.5% in 2009, according to research firm eMarketer. Second-place Facebook saw its market share rise to 13.6% from 7.3% the prior year, eMarketer said.
"They're a hot site, but there's room for more than one of anything," Ms. Bartz said at an event in December.
Some others at Yahoo stress recent collaboration with Facebook. "They're a partner, and a good one at that," said Mike Kerns, Yahoo's vice president of social, games and personalization, in an interview. "We view them and their platform as a great opportunity to both distribute Yahoo and its partners' content" and "to enhance user experience" on Yahoo.
Mr. Rose, Facebook's vice president of partnerships, said the company doesn't think of Yahoo as a competitor. "We've had a strong partnership in place with Yahoo for over a year, and we anticipate partnering with them even more deeply in the future," he said. "Our interests are aligned to help people connect and share content with their friends from wherever they are on the web."
By contrast, search giant Google Inc., which rose past Yahoo in the Web-search market during the last decade, has recently invested in developing a social-networking-type experience that could rival Facebook's, people familiar with the matter have said.
So far, Yahoo's partnership with Facebook hasn't reversed negative trends. Last year it began letting users of its email service to access Facebook without leaving Yahoo, hoping to keep users there longer. Blake Irving, Yahoo's chief product officer, said in an interview late last year that the feature "has not been seeing mind-blowing use."
But he added that social networking is "an open playing field" and the company was developing new ways to help users stay connected with the "small groups of people that actually matter to you," rather than a vast network of hundreds of people—including work colleagues and casual acquaintances—that many people now include as "friends" on Facebook.
As Facebook becomes a key place where people discover content such as news articles, Yahoo also sees an opening to provide technology to online content providers such as newspapers so they can better control of how users find and interact with their content, rather than leaving it up to Facebook and others.
For example, last week Yahoo made a public pitch to magazines and newspapers to use its software to reach users of tablets such as Apple Inc.'s iPad with features such as flashy, interactive graphics and photos. Yahoo didn't name any partners.
Shifting Course
Yahoo launched or bought several social-networking-type services before ultimately forging partnerships with Facebook:
|Launches Yahoo 360 social network; buys Flickr photo-sharing site
|Tries to buy Facebook; deal falls apart
|Stops developing Yahoo 360; starts Yahoo Mash
|Yahoo Mash abandoned; launches Yahoo Updates
|Talks to Facebook about possible partnerships
|Lets users access Facebook and Twitter content while on Yahoo; adds Facebook "Like" and "Share" buttons to more pages; launches Yahoo Pulse
|Allows users to "log in" to Yahoo using Facebook, Google credentials.

Ode to the West Wind
by Percy Bysshe Shelley
Analysis: Tough-O-Meter
(5) Tree Line
This poem is right in the middle of the range. It doesn't have too many complicated references to things the poet thinks you should have read but you haven't. But it does have metaphors that remind us of the analogy section on the SATs. It has a straightforward cast of characters – just two, the speaker and the West Wind that he's talking to. But it also has sentences that are more twisted than a corkscrew. Take it slow, rearrange the phrases in each sentence to work out what Shelley's saying, and you'll be fine. You'll be reading Prometheus Unbound, Shelley's unperformable play about imagination, before you know it.
