Gross Scaling Vs. Scaling to Completion
According to insurance billing, an indication for gross debridement would be if a patient presents with so much supragingival calculus that it is necessary to remove the calculus for the doctor to do an exam. According to the literature, another indication for gross scaling would be if a patient has ANUG. Main concerns of gross debridement include abscess formation and healing and tightening of the tissue, making it difficult to remove subgingival calculus when the patient returns for a recare appointment. Another main concern with gross debridement is patient compliance. A patient may have gross debridement performed and may not want to return for complete scaling. However, a question arises; if a patient were to have gross debridement, how soon after the procedure should the patient return for complete scaling to prevent formation of an abscess? Unfortunately, the answer is not found in the literature, but the patient should return within 4-7 days. Formation of an abscess as a result of gross scaling greatly depends on the topography of the bone and the systemic health of the patient.
Incomplete or gross scaling is seen in private practice, however many feel it shouldn't be done. When a dental hygienist does not scale to completion it leaves various pieces of calculus or debris within the patient's oral cavity. These pieces act as an irritant and do not permit the tissue and periodontium to fully heal. The etiological factor and bacterial toxins are left in the pocket, which leads to progression of the disease. Also, this can lead to a periodontal abscess. Many feel scaling to completion is more beneficial for the patient, even if you have to spilt the scaling into 2-4 appointments, to maximize their oral health.

When billing out for gross debridement it may not be done the day of the dental examination even though gross debridement is intended to help the dentist in better evaluate of the tissue and teeth. It however can be billed a different day before completely scaling the patient. When the patience notices that the stains and build up is removed they might think that they have already had their cleaning and not return to the office. Considering this can be an issue it is important in educating the patients of the importance of following up with treatment.

Incomplete scaling is preliminary partial, full-mouth, or gross scaling. Incomplete scaling is usually used before scaling and root planning. It is used to remove plaque and calculus that prevent the ability to perform an oral evaluation. Then many appointments are schedule for scaling and root planning to complete periodontal treatment. This approach has abandoned many years ago due to potential for problems that can affect patients' systemic health. Removing mostly supra calculus and some subgival calculus can interfere with the implementation process and the outcomes of the treatment.
Incomplete scaling can cause limited access to the subgingival calculus. After removing supra calculus, the tissue may heal tightly around the tooth; this makes harder to insert instrument to do a thorough job. In addition, the patient may think that his gingival look "health," so they may not come back for the SRP. Patient education is also hard to achieve because there are no supra calculus to compare the complete scaled quadrant to the untreated quadrant. Patients may misunderstand about periodontal treatment because their teeth feel clean after the gross scaling, so why they need to have SRP? Later, if they develop abscess, they stated that because dental hygienists did not do their job appropriately. Incomplete scaling can cause potential for abscess formation in deep suppurating pockets and deep defect areas and on medical compromised patients.
Scaling to completion includes scaling and root planning and requires multiple appointments. SRP is removal of etiological factors that cause periodontal disease, such as plaque and calculus. Deep cleaning is usually done by quadrant or sextant depending on the severity of each case. Care treatment plan consideration includes patients' health status, anesthesia, tooth anatomy, and the amount of deposition.
Overall, it is extremely important to scale to completion to prevent any future periodontal diseases and scaling limitation.

Our goal as dental health care professionals is to remove etiological factors of periodontal or gingival disease, restore health, and promote oral well being. The purpose of gross scaling is to remove supragingival calculus or plaque that interferes with the diagnostic ability of the dentist to perform an exam and determine what dental work the patient may need. Gross scaling is controversial among dental hygienists because it provides no therapeutic value and the primary purpose for performing a gross scale is to be able to bill the insurance or pts. Periodontal abscess which can result in tooth loss are a common result of gross scaling or not scaling to completion. On the other hand, pts that have ANUG may require a gross scaling accompanied by antibiotics to help reduce irritation of the gingival prior to SRP. To obtain the best outcome for the pt, we should attempt to scale to completion at every appt. It is our ethical duty and the pts right to receive the best treatment possible and that we try our best to remove all plaque and calculus.
In a standard periodontal treatment strategy with consecutive root planings per quadrant at a one- to two-week interval, re-infection of a disinfected area might occur before completion of the treatment. This study clinically and microbiologically examines whether a full-mouth disinfection within 24 hours significantly improves the outcome of periodontal treatment. While the one-stage full-mouth disinfection resulted in a mean pocket reduction from 7.3 to 4.0 mm, the control group had a reduction of only from 7.4 to 4.9 mm. It takes several months before microbiological differences result in clinically detectable changes. The one-stage full-mouth disinfection showed significant clinical (pocket reduction) and microbiological (shift toward a more beneficial flora) advantages on a short-term basis.

Periodontitis occurs when inflammation or infection of the gums is untreated or treatment is delayed. Infection and inflammation spreads from the gums to the ligaments and bone that support the teeth. Loss of support causes the teeth to become loose and eventually fall out. Periodontitis is the primary cause of tooth loss in adults. This disorder is uncommon in childhood but increases during adolescence. Plaque and tartar accumulate at the base of the teeth. Inflammation causes a pocket to develop between the gums and the teeth, which fills with plaque and tartar. Soft tissue swelling traps the plaque in the pocket. Continued inflammation eventually causes destruction of the tissues and bone surrounding the tooth. Because plaque contains bacteria, infection is likely and an infection may also develop, which increases the rate of bone destruction. The goal of treatment is to reduce inflammation, eliminate pockets if present, and address any underlying causes. Dental irritants, such as rough surfaces of teeth or dental appliances, should be repaired. General illness or other conditions should be treated.
It is important to have the teeth cleaned thoroughly. This may involve use of various instruments or devices to loosen and remove deposits from the teeth. Incomplete scaling causes more problems later.

The only time when gross scaling is recommended is when treating ANUG/ANUP. The use of antibiotics is also part of these gross scaling treatment when treating ANUG/ANUP. The down side of gross scaling when ANUG/ANUP is not present may lead to a periodontal infection, so the practice of gross scaling is not recommended.

Gross scaling was once used because calculus was thought to be a mechanical irritant rather than a bacterial infection. Before quadrant scaling hygienist would do a full mouth scale but not go to the base of the pocket, the next appointment they would continue even deeper, and continue to move down wards until the full mouth was complete. Now we know that calculus cause a bacterial infection and needs to be completely removed. If the calculus is not completely removed the tissue around the piece will heal enclosing the calculus and cause an abscess, also the tissue will tighten making it harder to access the calculus in the pocket. A periodontal abscess can occur within three to six day. After scientific evidence reveled that quadrant scaling to completion has a better result we now use the term gross debridment for the removal of supra and supra only calculus to allow for assessments of the patients oral health. Gross debriment can also be used for a patient with NUG or NUP.
Perry, D., Beemsterboer,P. 2007. Periodontology for the dental hygienist. Saunders (2) Drina:
It seems as though incomplete scaling can have a negative effect on the gingival tissue because the calculus that is left behind can cause gingival inflammation and attachment loss. There is research that shows that no matter how skilled the clinician there is always burnished calculus that is left behind so scaling to completion is not really met. The only true way to remove calculus especially in furcation areas is by periodontal surgery.

Outcomes of Incomplete Scaling & Gross scaling versus Scaling to Completion - Stacy
Incomplete scaling and gross scaling are the same thing. It is a supragingival removal of hard deposits. This gross scaling is not considered to be appropriate treatment for patients. Because deposits have been removed, some healing does occur. Unfortunately, healing occurs over unremoved subgingival deposits which will eventually lead to bony defects. Gross scaling is only beneficial when the calculus build up is so intense that it makes diagnosing difficult. Therefore, a gross scale would remove enough calculus to allow for diagnosis and a treatment plan to remove remaining calculus would be implemented. It has been discussed that gross scaling is not appropriate and rather than a full mouth gross scale, a half mouth complete scale would be far more beneficial for the patient. This would prevent healing over unremoved subgingival calculus deposits.

Over the last few months since I've been on the Virtual Earth team I become friends with Ed Katibah. Ed works on the SQL Spatial team and is one of those guys who lives and breathes what he loves and what he loves is Spatial Databases. He also loves talking about them and I find that when I'm hanging out with Ed I learn a lot. When I first met Ed he was doing some blogging, then he stopped. Myself and a number of people like James Fee have been working him over this past week at GeoWeb to start blogging again.
After all, there is too much good stuff up in that head of his to not share and with our release of SQL Spatial there is much the Microsoft developer community can learn from Ed about how to design and build spatial databases.
Well I guess our convincing worked because "Spatial Ed" has started blogging again. Keep it up Ed. We definitely enjoy it.

Large asteroid colliding with Earth 'probable this century'
Wed, 20 Mar 2013 12:57 UTC
Reader Comments
The big one has already skimmed the Earth at least three times. It is slowing and it will come down and the impact will be of the order of 100,000 Mt.
If they don't know about it now it should not be too long before they do. If it skims the Earth's atmosphere again without impacting and is "seen" by the media the cover story will be "It was a very near miss - a one off". This is not true, it will come back and it will impact one day and probably this century if not in the next ten years.
Its too late now....
. . . but I'm wondering which "big one" you be talkin' 'bout CF.
We're very lucky is we can go another half a decade in my humble opinion.
The Truth is that the earth has entered a minefield if I may say so. While people focus on big asteroids as related by the media, they tend to ignore that almost 10 fireballs (comets/meteors) are witnessed entering the atmosphere everyday and that the trend is going up exponentially (which is not discussed by the media). The Russian impact for instance was only a "warning" for the times to come, or so I think.
Cometary showers have devastated the earth again and again in the past in a cyclical way. I wouldn't say it's "too late" as it is and has always been inevitable. No action could've had or could ever be taken to prevent this.
The human race is indeed facing extinction once again. But the denial is strong. Wishful thinking does not allow people to look at reality objectively, especially when reality isn't warm, pink, fluffy and comfortable.
Take care y'all!

Hilary Swank sticks to truth on-screen
Published: Friday, October 8, 2010 at 8:32 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 8, 2010 at 8:35 a.m.
TORONTO - To meet or not to meet.
Movie may have a happy ending, but real story didn't
Conviction ends on an inspirational note, with the typical pre-credit updates on what happened to Betty Anne Waters after she was reunited with her wrongfully imprisoned brother, Kenny.
But one vital and heart-wrenching piece of information is missing: Kenny died just months after being released, from injuries after he fell from a 15-foot wall.
"Looking back now and seeing how it ended, I want to say I'm shocked it happened," Waters says. "But Kenny's life had been like that. He didn't have very good luck."
Those who know the facts of the case, which made national headlines nine years ago, might be puzzled by the omission. Director Tony Goldwyn says much deliberation took place over whether the revelation should be included.
"That was a big, big, big decision, and I went back and forth over the years," he says. "In several drafts, his death was in the script because the point to me was it was true, and I felt the movie was about the fact that no matter what rocks life throws at you, it is about love, and love triumphs over it."
Then he had second thoughts. "I realized that, in the last act, the audience wouldn't be able to take that turn." Test screenings proved his instinct to be correct. "About 99 percent of them said, 'No - oh my God!' They would rather Google it or find out afterward."
He ran the decision to omit the information by Swank, and she agreed, as did Kenny's sister.
"I'm happy that they didn't do it," she says. "It is not about him dying but him living and being brave. That is what it is supposed to be about, and somehow that takes away from it."
As for what her brother might think, she adds: "Kenny would want it not to be in the film. He would love it just the way is."
That often is the question facing actors whenever they play real people who are still alive.
Even if the role is a long-gone historical figure, there could be surviving relatives who have an opinion about how their family member is depicted.
The question is particularly relevant this fall, given that no fewer than 10 films draw heavily upon biographical material, from this month's The Social Network and Secretariat to the upcoming The King's Speech, 127 Hours and The Fighter.
It figures that Hilary Swank would be front and center in one of the titles - Conviction, which opens Oct. 15. She's an old hand at such reality-based fare.
She won the first of two Oscars for her breakthrough role as Brandon Teena, a transgender teen who passed as male in 1999's Boys Don't Cry. Last year, she went so far as to obtain a pilot's license to play famed aviator Amelia Earhart in Amelia. In between, there was a shady 18th-century French aristocrat in The Affair of the Necklace (2001), a suffragist in Iron Jawed Angels (2004) and a teacher who challenges the system in Freedom Writers (2007).
This time, Swank is Betty Anne Waters, a Rhode Island single mom and high school dropout who earned a law degree so she could fight her brother Kenny's wrongful murder conviction - a process that dragged on for 18 years and cost her a marriage.
It began in 1980, when Katharina Brow was found dead on the floor of her trailer home in Ayer, Mass., where Kenny lived and worked at a diner that the victim frequented. She was stabbed more than 30 times, and money and jewelry had been stolen.
The police zeroed in on Kenny, who had a reputation as a troublemaker and was caught breaking into Brow's trailer when he was a kid. Any evidence pointing to him was circumstantial, including that his blood type matched the killer's. But two years later, witnesses suddenly materialized to testify that he confessed to the crime. The jury found him guilty, even though he had an alibi,and his sentence was life without parole.
After appeals failed, Waters decided to become a student again.
"I'm drawn to these types of true stories for a couple of reasons," says Swank, in Toronto for Conviction's film-fest world premiere. The main one: "I don't find there to be a huge amount of compelling fiction to choose from, especially for women."
There is also the high degree of difficulty. "You take a person like Betty Anne Waters, who is my hero. It is scary for me as an actor. Not only does the story span a huge space of time, but it's about someone who is still living. You want to do justice to them."
Of her earlier biopics, only education reformer Erin Grunwell of Freedom Writers was around to offer advice. But the normally media-shy Waters, whose devotion and humility in her pursuit of a seemingly impossible goal are the cornerstones of Swank's performance, is a different - and more personal - case.
"She sacrificed her life," says Swank, who is also an executive producer on Conviction. "She won't say that's what she did. She will just say, 'I didn't think of it like that.' But she did - for someone else." Namely, her closest ally in a broken family of 10 kids, even though she and Kenny spent a portion of their childhood apart in separate foster homes.
It was the connection between the two, separated in age by only a year, that persuaded Swank to do another true tale. As she says, "When you add the element of unconditional love for a sibling, or for anyone for that matter, you can't help but think, 'Do I have that in my life?' That's an incredibly inspiring thing."
The right roles
She initially waffled over meeting Waters before filming began to avoid any temptation to imitate her. But, as it turns out, getting together early on proved beneficial to both women.
After a delay of several minutes, Swank's hero finally arrives to join her. While the star, 36, is dressed to impress in a body-hugging sleeveless sheath, Waters, 56, is all business in a tidy navy-blue suit and attractively coifed reddish blond hair. But when she speaks, her vocal inflections are pure working-class New England, filled with Yankee grit and determination with a healthy dollop of heart-on-her-sleeve emotion.
Her tardiness is caused by friend Abra Rice (played with comic verve by Minnie Driver), a fellow law student who supported Waters through the grueling process of proving Kenny's innocence. "She's trying to figure out what to wear for the premiere," Waters explains. As for her own red-carpet garb, she says, "It's an important day for me. I'm going to wear a dress, and I don't wear a dress a lot."
When plans were discussed to turn Betty Anne and Kenny's story into a movie shortly after he was exonerated in 2001, director Tony Goldwyn first considered casting Naomi Watts - hot off of Mulholland Drive - to star.
"I can't imagine another person other than Hilary," says Waters. "When I found out she might be doing it, I was so excited. She was the one I wanted."
Swank hasn't always picked parts that have suited her, as evidenced by her inconsistent box office. But when she does find a perfect fit, such as the underdog boxer in 2004's Million Dollar Baby - the source of her second Oscar - the payoff is potent. And Conviction felt equally right.
As Goldwyn notes, "Hilary said to me, 'I've come to terms with the fact I was put on earth to play characters like this.' It wouldn't have been hard to find another actress who could capture Betty's strength and had the power to be dynamic. But Hilary also has this openness to her, a kind of incredible warmth and positivity."
The thought of owning two Academy Awards reminds her of her own hardscrabble beginnings, from living in a trailer park in Bellingham, Wash., to moving to Los Angeles with her mom to follow her acting dreams and living out of their car before they could afford an apartment.
"I was always looking in, looking into windows at what people were doing," says Swank, who, like Waters, also left high school early and later got a GED. "So the idea that this organization of people I look up to not only invited me in, but then bestowed something of such great honor, it astonishes me."
Adds Waters, "That's what drew me to her. I read about her, and I always felt she had something in common with me - like she said about always looking in and not being a person."
They connected quickly once Swank and co-star Sam Rockwell, who plays Kenny, visited her home in Middletown, R.I. Waters worried that her presence might not be welcome on the set: "Tony explained to me that sometimes having the real person there makes an actor uncomfortable." But her concern proved needless.
"When she came to my house," Waters says, "what struck me as funny was we both had the same outfit on."
Swank nods. "Exactly. A black turtleneck sweater. And jeans and boots."
Adds Waters, "I felt at ease with her right away."
On location in Ann Arbor, Mich. (picked for its tax incentives), the mood was similarly simpatico, albeit with pitched emotions. "Betty Anne and her family had a room with a monitor where they could sit and watch," Swank recalls. "At one point, I walked in right before lunch after a particularly difficult scene, and she had all these tissues stuffed in the little pockets of these chairs."
Explains Waters, "I did a lot of crying. It was like I had therapy while I was there. I hadn't really thought a lot about these things for a long while."
A painful divorce is another experience that both she and Swank have in common. The actress has come to terms with the dissolution of her nine-year marriage to Chad Lowe in 2006. "We maybe aren't the best of friends, but it's OK. I love him, and it will always be in my heart. I wouldn't be who I am today without having had him in my life."
Waters is not so philosophical about her ex. When asked whether she is close to her former husband, she answers with an unequivocal "no, not at all." But she is on extremely good terms with her proud sons, Ben 25, and Richard, 29, who are depicted in the film and will join their mother at the premiere.
In fact, she says, "my 29-year-old has come back home because he went back to school. He graduates next year. In the meantime, his girlfriend became pregnant, so I'm a grandmother now. I have them with me and my 6-month-old grandson. Hopefully, they will get married next year. But I'm in no hurry for them to leave. My son cooks, she cleans. I get to be a grandmother. It's a happy home."
Impact of innocence
Getting involved with Hollywood types and doing publicity doesn't come easy to her. "I'm a very private person," Waters says. "When I went to community college and took oral communication, I had to give a speech to the 30 people in my class. I actually vomited, I was so nervous to talk to anyone."
But a couple of factors override any inhibitions. The first is her desire to honor her brother. Although it is never mentioned in the film, Kenny enjoyed his release from prison for only six months before he died from injuries suffered from a fall.
But his sister assures that he was acutely aware that there was interest in making a film of their experience. "He thought he was going to be in the movie," says Waters, smiling.
She also hopes that Conviction spreads the word about the Innocence Project, the organization co-founded by Barry Scheck of O.J. Simpson trial fame that helps the wrongly convicted use DNA evidence to prove they aren't guilty. Scheck, played by Peter Gallagher, worked closely with Waters to free her brother.
Says Waters, whose only involvement in law these days is her pro-bono work for the project, "I wouldn't have allowed the movie to be made except for the impact it might have."
There has been talk that Swank could be in the Oscar race once again. But she says it already has been enough of an honor being Betty Anne Waters.
"To tell a story like hers, not only do I grow as an actor. I grow as a human being. She's the hero, but I get a taste of what it feels like to be a loving, caring, unselfish human being in such a profound way."

Prof 64
Hello my name is Steven Smith I am a lifelong computer and IT hobbyist. Currently I am college student studying film, which is the career path that I ultimately hope to pursue. My dream for software is to incorporate the opensource technologies in film and media production environments. I hope to see one day where open source professional level tools are available for film (a place where OSS is currently lacking. When Hollywood studios give up Adobe and AVID and turn to open source for their software needs, I will probably quit what ever I'm doing and start my own production company.

Be Involved, Lay Down the Law Around Food Marketing continued...
According to Nestle, no matter how mouth-watering the junk food looks, you can say, "We only serve healthy foods at home." Let kids know that when they are adults, they can choose what to eat, she says. But right now, you call the shots.
Sometimes it surprises parents to realize they have control. And, Nestle says, they need to exert it if they hope to get their kids to eat healthy foods. That doesn't mean you have to be too strict. For example, she says it is OK to have a birthday party at a fast-food outlet or to declare Sunday the day to have a can of soda.
Analyze It: How to Judge Food Advertisements
As you watch commercials with your kids, experts say you should break down the information, using it as ''teachable moment." Encourage children of all ages to rethink the food combinations they see on commercials, says Linda Bartholomay, RD, manager of outpatient nutrition therapy at Sanford Health in Fargo, N.D. One example is burgers, fries, and soda. You can suggest healthy substitutes, such as milk, fruit, or a baked potato.
Here's how to further analyze commercials, depending on your child's age:
Preschoolers: Play a game based on the stoplight concept, Greenfield says. Ask your preschooler, "Is this a 'green' food, one we can eat a lot of because it's healthy? Or is it 'yellow,' one that can be eaten sometimes, but not every day? Or is it a 'red' food, one that should be eaten only at special times?" Greenfield then suggests labeling snacks as green, yellow, or red to help reinforce the lessons from the game.
Elementary school-aged kids: Encourage them to think about ''how food marketers get us to buy their products," such as using familiar cartoon characters or fun shapes.
Tweens: Challenge tweens to think about what is missing from the commercial. Ask them: "What are they not telling us about this food?"
Teens: With teens, talk about the nutritional value of the foods and show them how to look at the food label. If celebrities are promoting the product, Greenfield says, point out that they are doing it for money. Remind them that just because a famous person is endorsing it doesn't mean the product is good for you.
You can also ask your teen if he thinks the commercial plays to his desire to be popular, says Bartholomay. She cites sugared-drink commercials that give the impression that athletes use these beverages. Show kids the nutritional information, pointing out the high sugar content.

A computer glitch on the trouble-plagued Interislander ferry
Aratere has put the summer travel plans of hundreds of
travellers on hold.
All sailings of the Aratere have been cancelled today while
technicians work on the issue, which has affected the ferry's
propulsion system.
Passengers who were booked on the 6.30am sailing from
Wellington to Picton will have to wait until the Kaitaki
departs Wellington at 9pm, while a return sailing from Picton
has been scheduled for 2am tomorrow.
Interislander spokeswoman Sophie Lee said technicians were
looking into the issue.
"We think it's a problem with the computer system on the
ship, which is affecting the propulsion system, so it's an
electronic issue," she said.
"We're hoping to have the issue resolved in time for
tomorrow's sailings."
Ms Lee said it was hoped all affected passengers and cargo
would be accommodated on the Kaitaki sailings.
She said the issue was not related to the ship's recent $54
million revamp, nor the ship's engine problems which put a
stop to passenger sailings for more than a week in 2011.
The Aratere is one of three Interislander ferries operated by

More charges filed against Hendersonville teen
Published: Tuesday, February 1, 2011 at 1:55 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 1, 2011 at 1:55 p.m.
The Hendersonville Police Department has filed more charges against a local teen for vandalism of property.
Justin Michael Prendes, 19, of 2520 Haywood Road, Hendersonville, was originally charged last month with 48 counts of injury to personal property.
Ten more charges of damage to personal property have been filed, the police department announced in a news release today.
"The charges are consistent with the previous graffiti to local businesses and city property," Detective Bobby Trotter said in the release.
Prendes remains in the Henderson County jail under a $12,600 secured bond.
The police department still has on going investigations with vandalism involving graffiti. If anyone has additional information regarding these incidents, call the Hendersonville Police Department at 828-697-3042 or Henderson County CrimeStoppers at 697-STOP (7867).

Right now I've finished an application that I want to distribute on Android Market. It will have a payed version and a free version with some limited features. While developing it, I was doing obviously just the main project of fully featured release. And now after finished I've included a "boolean" DEMO_VERSION=true that restrict those features.
My question is if it's possible to generate both apk from the same project? Or should I create new project with the same source but changing the java package to tell android market that they're two different applications.
Thank you very much

Copper Hill Farms
Sinfully Healthy
By: Jean Black (Feb 3, 2012)
Being a nurse practitioner, I do a lot of nutritional counseling. Our bodies require natural forms of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Since the food we buy from the grocery stores is grown/raised an average of 3000 miles from communities, obtaining fresh, natural food, devoid of the chemicals necessary to get that food to market, is literally impossible. Our bodies do not know how to metabolize the chemicals contained in food we buy from a shelf. These chemicals are largely responsible for this Country's health status. I tell my patients to work to consume food that is natural and fresh and in Season (NO strawberries in December, unless you picked them from your garden the Spring before). I am privileged to enjoy the pork offered by Copper Hill Farms. Few of us know the true flavors of absolutely fresh, natural food, so give yourself the taste treat of your life and fry a couple of chops in olive oil, salt and pepper, adding a lovely sprinkle of fresh rosemary! Something that delectable cannot be healthy, but, guess what!?! IT IS!!

I can't remember the last time we had a Jewish singer as one of the 12 finalists on X Factor. Was Steve Brookstein a Jew? I don't think so.
So I was chuffed to see Stacey Solomon, 20, go through to the next stage of the show on Sunday night.
She did a great job singing in front of Kylie and Dannii Minogue in this week's 'judge's homes' show, so it is no surprise.
The lovable/dithery single mum from Dagenham, Essex, (who reminds me of a character froma Mike Leigh film) says she wants to make her son proud by doing well on the ITV1 show.
As a hot favourite to win the competition at 4/1, she might go all the way. Her biggest threat is Welsh Lucie Jones who has a refreshingly clear voice. But if Stacey wins, she won't just be making her son proud, but the whole community.
Go Stacey!

On 12th September, I went to Wicken Fen to the opening of a new cycle bridge.
Groups cycled and walked from all directions. About 30 of us went from Anglesey Abbey near Cambridge.
I took this photo by accident, but I quite like it!
The new bridge is in sight.
Here's a better photo of the new bridge.
There were about 150 people there. Some had brought unusual bikes, like this boy on a miniature penny farthing.
The new bridge is good for horses too.
The National Trust gave us all lunch: burgers from a farm in the village.
There was also the opportunity to try out paddleboarding on the river. I had a go. It was fun!
There's only one more bridge to build before you can cycle the whole way from Anglesey Abbey to Wicken Fen. Here people are carrying their bikes over the bridge that needs replacing.
Afterwards, I did a bit of geocaching. Here's a self-portrait I had to take as part of an earthcache.
Near another cache, cows by a river with a typical English church spire in the background.

I've recently begun to develope web applications with Apache web server, MySQL database server and PHP. My work is looking for a cheap efficient way to update an older split Access database which currently is configured with the backend residing on a network share and the front-end being distributed to end users.
Is it possible to install an AMP stack on a network drive and have multiple users at different locations access a php site on an Apache web server backed by a MySQL server. Could the end users simply access the site through the IP address of the network drive?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!


text: Alright like the long title says, in our local network we have server A with a wordpress news page on it, and then server B with a different website on it. The site on server B used to do all of the news so I thought I could just pull the posts from wordpress on server A so none of the employees can say "They didnt see something". So long story short can this be accomplished and if so how. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Vargo Titanium Ti-Lite Sierra Cup
I walk to work each morning with a pack, containing…
Price Paid: $20.99
I walk to work each morning with a pack, containing a change of clothes for work, and enough kitchen to make breakfast along the way.
The sierra cup is light in weight, can serve as a good drinking cup that is less likely than most metal cups to burn your lips. Where it really shines for me, is that after I cook and eat my oatmeal from my pot, I want to have a source of warm water to clean up the pot with, especially during freezing weather. I have reversed the handle on the cup so that it comes up and over the center of the cup. Then when I put it on my pot stand over a alcohol burning stove, the handle doesn't burn my fingers and the cup is well balanced on the pot stand. That cup of water is just enough to clean up the pot. It also makes a reasonable light weight measuring cup and of course makes a great drinking cup.
In an emergency, I think the cup is well balanced enough with the handle reversed, that I could use a boot lace tied to the end of the handle then up to a stick to boil water over an open wood fire. I'll keep that in mind the next time I head out on a day hike and don't want to carry a lot of emergency equipment.
I bought this cup after a great deal of searching…
Price Paid: $15.95
I bought this cup after a great deal of searching for something that was: a) Light weight; and b) Good for measuring boiling water into freeze-dried food packs. Anything fulfilling those two requirements would also work fine as a regular drinking cup.
I finally decided on the Vargo Sierra Cup for several reasons: The size of the cup itself is "One Cup" in order to eliminate the additional cost of stamping a fill mark. The folding handle is cleanly designed and has a sliding retainer band which prevents the cup body from pulling free of the handle when full of liquid. Overall workmanship is excellent and the price - $15.95 - is nearly half of other titanium cups. This was achieved by making the cup smaller, but for me it serves its purpose beautifully. At 1.2 ounces it also weighs less than other titanium cups... another plus.

Hartford — U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., and U.S. Rep. Elizabeth Esty, D-5th District, said Monday that they hope bills they have each introduced to ban electronic-cigarette companies from advertising their products to children will receive bipartisan support.
"Kids aren't using e-cigarettes to stop smoking like some adults," Esty said. "Our children are getting hooked on nicotine, a highly addictive drug, which the surgeon general has warned has lasting, adverse consequences for adolescent brain development."
Minors in Connecticut can legally purchase e-cigarettes, although Gov. Dannel P. Malloy proposed banning those sales this year.
Supporters of the bill said the brightly colored e-cigarettes that come in flavors such as gummy bear and cotton candy should not be advertised to children because the product is addictive and could cause a lifetime of disease.
They said e-cigarette advertising to children includes use of celebrity endorsements, sporting events and cartoons.
A representative from the Libertarian-leaning Heartland Institute in Chicago spoke out against the legislation during the press conference and said that banning advertising to children would essentially mean banning advertising to adults as well.
Gregory Conley of the Heartland Institute said the watermelon-flavored e-cigarettes helped him quit smoking three years ago and that the legislation has no chance of passing. Blumenthal responded that the legislation does not call for a ban on e-cigarettes.
It calls for the Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to regulate e-cigarette advertising as it does for other tobacco products, Blumenthal said.
"Now Big Tobacco is buying e-cigarette companies," Blumenthal said. "Do you think it is because big tobacco wants to promote smoking cessation? I don't think so. Big tobacco is buying e-cigarette companies to do with modern and up-to-date, candy-flavored e-cigarettes what it used to do with Joe Camel."
Blumenthal said he has a lot of support in the Senate for the legislation and thinks he can get Republican support for the public health issue.
Several public health representatives and legislators including state Rep. Diana Urban, D-North Stonington, stood with Blumenthal in support of the federal legislation.
Jeff Seyler, president and CEO of the American Lung Association of the Northeast, said the association is concerned about e-cigarettes because it is unclear what is in them and what the health consequences are.
The National Poison Data System has reported that from 2011 to 2012 there was a 300 percent increase from poisonings caused by electronic liquids, he said. A study by The Journal of the American Medical Association: Pediatrics found that "kids who use these e-cigarettes are more likely to smoke cigarettes and less likely to quite smoking," Seyler said.

I'm in the process of migrating to Windows 8, part of which was to get SQL Server/SQL Server Management Studio 2012 running. I tried to load some sample data from a .bak file for a 2012 compatible version of the AdventureWorks database to make sure it was working. To do so, I right clicked on my main database server in the explorer window >
Restore Database and attempted to mount a .bak file using

My question is - shouldn't I be able to see my user directory structure? If not, is there a new convention for Win8 that I'm not aware of?
Incidentally, I was able to restore my database by copying the file to the C:\ root and restoring from there.

TUCSON- Billy Buckner, vying for a roster spot in the Arizona Diamondbacks' bullpen, had another impressive pitching outing Friday but Juan Gutierrez did not.
Buckner threw two hitless innings and lowered his spring training ERA to 2.25 as Arizona beat the Seattle Mariners 14-6 in a split-squad game.
Gutierrez, also a 25-year-old righthander, struggled early - allowing four hits and three runs in the first inning before getting an out.
"Buckner had another good outing... He's been basically good every time out," Diamondbacks manager Bob Melvin said.
After his initial trouble, Gutierrez retired six straight hitters, including striking out three. He allowed four hits and three earned runs as his ERA rose to 6.75 in eight innings this spring.
Despite the mixed results, Arizona, pitching coach Bryan Price said both Buckner and Gutierrez are "establishing some credibility in this camp as frontrunners for bullpen jobs... They're both having good camps."
Veteran reliever Tony Pena picked up the win with one inning of work, his first appearance since playing in the World Baseball Classic.
Arizona had 13 hits with 11 players getting at least one.
Tony Clark hit his home run of the spring, walked twice and scored two runs.
Seattle took an extended look at lefthander Jason Vargas, a likely long-relief candidate.
Vargas looked good early before struggling in the second and third innings. He threw 2 2/3 innings, allowing four hits, four runs (three earned), walked two and struck out one.
"I felt like I made some good pitches," said Vargas, whose spring ERA is now to 7.94. " I felt really good my first two outings. Obviously my last two haven't been up to par."
Matt Tuiasosopo went 3-for-3 for the Mariners, who have seven regulars still playing in the WBC.
NOTES: Two Diamondbacks recovering from injuries had encouraging Friday morning workouts. Eric Byrnes, still nursing hamstring issues from last year, ran the bases at the minor league complex and could rejoin the team as early as Monday. Doug Davis, who missed his last start with a left triceps strain, looked good in a bullpen session. In roster moves, the Diamondbacks reassigned pitchers Hector Ambriz, Tony Barnette and Brooks Brown and catcher Ed Easley to their minor-league camp.

How did your pregnancy go? I, too, take modafinil and need it for narcolepsy so taking it during pregnancy is important for me. I went without it during my first pregnancy but I didn't have a child that wore me down even more, so I could nap anytime I needed to. I don't have that luxury now :) Thanks!

not the best but close :D really upbeat and this really makes me wish i could just fix my nes... server its years greatly but getting a new one will cost me 200+ wich i cant afford luckilly emulators :D moon level is one of the most memorable songs in games
Rated 5 / 5 stars
