This happened on 2 separate incidents at the same time period to both my husband and I:
(1) Tried to pay garbage bill with Paypal (PP), somehow linked it to BillMeLater (BML); said payment due on a certain date. Tried to link bank account/s to BML and it wouldn't accept routing and account #. Kept trying -how many banks accounts does a person have? The bill wasn't due yet, but BML said payment past due and tacked on Late fees ($25 +); in addition to changing the due date; over $100 fees.
(2) Tried to pay a software/computer service to 'unlock' computer (which happens to be another scam), but only let me pay through PP which turned into BML; same story as the first issue; turned into another $100 in late fees (again, starting with the $25).
I believe it's purposely confusing to trick you into using the BML service, then the due dates change without notifying you, purposely don't allow you to add your bank account if it's used in your Paypal account, but honestly how many bank accounts does an average person have? Then once it's considered 'late' your bank account is miraculously approved to be linked to your BML account.
Sounds like this has happened to many consumers from reading the reviews. There should be a major penalty for them to pay. When it was just PP, I was happy with their services; Apparently they became greedy! Now I want nothing to do with either!

PayPal charges refund fees for cancelled transactions. Accordingly, if someone sends money to you by mistake or for a sold-out item, you will be obliged to send full (not partial refunds) and still be charged the refund fees (and the full transaction fees if the buyer is quick in filing dispute)
Moreover, even if your agreement/listing specifies that any cancellation/transaction fees are non-refundable, PayPal does not recognize your agreement or respect your terms and conditions!
I was a target for such misuse. This could be used by many to harm someone's business.

After d-day, BH commented about how he knew something was up because of how much care I'd put into my appearance. Perfect makeup, etc.
So, just now he says to me that I'm wearing more makeup than usual today. (I wear very little makeup in general) I said, 'Really?' He said, 'Yes' and I said, 'It wasn't intentional'.
It made me feel bad because I didn't want him to think anything was up. And I went back to the old neighborhood today to have lunch with a friend, so I wonder if that is related to his remark.
The good news is that after almost 6 years he can mention it and now it's over.
"That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt."
He never mentions anything, but I get a clench in my stomach, wondering if he's reminded or if he's suspicious. Everything I do nowadays is on the up-and-up and there would always be a logical non-A reason for any of my behavior, but it triggers me too just the same.
Thanks for posting this. I'm glad you and your H are able to deal with this stuff openly and let it go.

When my BH and I are out and I put on lipstick, I feel the same way. I don't really wear it, but I like to when we go out at times. Yet, I also feel guilty. I don't put it on to impress anyone, more to make me look nice for him...

AN I'm happy that you've made progress. It scares me that it might take 6 years but the year since I had A has gone by more quickly then I imagined it would feel. Coming up on 9 months since DDay which feels like its barely been a month.
Sorry I'm all over the place. AN I'm happy for you and your posts always give me hope.

Do not let others be your reference for who you see in the mirror.

I'm sorry you guys had a fleeting bummer. I'm really glad you shared though - it's welcome inspiration.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Jen in da Northwoods
"This recipe for asparagus lovers is easy to make but tastes gourmet! I was given this recipe by my stepmother."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 bunch fresh asparagus
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt to taste
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
This is fantastic and SO easy. Can be served hot or cold. I also tossed on dried cranberries for more color and to complement the gorganzola. SUPER recipe!!
Not the best recipe for asparagus I have ever had. I think I will go back to the old recipes I have.
15 Ratings
Great recipe. Had guests over and wanted something a little different for our veggie dish. I didn't use any salt but added balsamic vinegar to the dish. People were fighting over the last of the asparagus. Thanks!
This was great! Used pecans instead (because I thought we had walnut but didn't) and it still was very good! Definitely recommend
What a classy mix of flavors. I couldn't get enough. Gorgonzola can be a bit overpowering, so I just lightly sprinkled it, as well as the walnuts, over the asparagus as a garnish. I didn't even begin to use 1/2 c.
This is so delicious and easy. I did exchange the gorgonzola with romano. I made this as side dish to take to a friend. It makes a great take along since it can be served room temperature.
Fantastic! I had only one recipe that I really liked for asparagus, but this one actually topped that one! Like the idea of dried cranberries, I'll try that next time.
Very good. I used pecans and goat cheese because that is what I had. Will make this again and maybe even add to the holiday table!

Eugene V. Rostow
Eugene V. (Victor Debs) Rostow (August 25, 1913 – November 25, 2002), influential legal scholar and public servant, was Dean of Yale Law School, and served as Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs under President Lyndon B. Johnson.
Early life[edit]
Rostow was born on 25 August 1913 in Brooklyn, New York, a grandson of poor Jewish immigrants from the Russian Empire, and raised in Irvington, New Jersey, and New Haven, Connecticut. His parents were active socialists and their three sons, Eugene Victor Debs, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman, were named after Eugene V. Debs, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Walt Whitman.
Rostow attended New Haven High School and was admitted to Yale College in 1929. At the time, his scores on his entrance examinations were so high that The New York Times called him the first "perfect freshman". In 1931 he earned Phi Beta Kappa, and in 1933 he earned a B.A., graduating with highest honors, and receiving the Alpheus Henry Snow Prize, which is awarded annually to that senior who, through the combination of intellectual achievement, character and personality, shall be adjudged by the faculty to have done the most for Yale by inspiring in his classmates an admiration and love for the best traditions of high scholarship. He became a member of Alpha Delta Phi.
From 1933 to 1934 Rostow studied economics at Cambridge University (where he would return in 1959 as the Pitt Professor of American History and Institutions) as a Henry Fellow. He then returned to Yale, attending Yale Law School, and earning his LL.B. with highest honors. From 1936 to 1937 he served as editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal.
After graduation, Rostow worked at the New York law firm of Cravath, deGersdorff, Swaine and Wood specializing in bankruptcy, corporations, and antitrust. In 1937 he returned to Yale Law School as a faculty member (becoming a full professor in 1944), and became a member of the Yale Economics Department as well.
During World War II Rostow served in the Lend-Lease Administration as an assistant general counsel, in the State Department as liaison to the Lend-Lease Administration, and as an assistant to then–Assistant Secretary of State for Legislative Affairs Dean Acheson. He was an early and vocal critic of Japanese American internment and the Supreme Court decisions which supported it; in 1945 he wrote an influential paper in the Yale Law Journal which helped fuel the movement for restitution. In that paper he wrote, "We believe that the German people bear a common political responsibility for outrages secretly committed by the Gestapo and the SS. What are we to think of our own part in a program which violates every democratic social value, yet has been approved by the Congress, the President and the Supreme Court?"
In 1955 Rostow became dean of Yale Law School, a post he held until 1965. At one point in 1962 - according to Alistair Cooke - he was considered by John F. Kennedy for appointment to the Supreme Court but geographical and religious issues interfered. From 1966 to 1969 he served as Under Secretary for Political Affairs in Lyndon B. Johnson's government, the third-highest ranking official in the State Department. During this time he helped draft UN Security Council Resolution 242, one of the most important Security Council resolutions relevant to the Arab-Israeli conflict.
After leaving government service Rostow returned to Yale Law School, teaching courses in constitutional, international, and antitrust law. Concerned about Soviet military expansionism, in the mid-1970s he was an active member of the Coalition for a Democratic Majority and helped found and lead the Committee on the Present Danger. In 1981 President Ronald Reagan appointed him director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, making Rostow the highest-ranking Democrat in the Reagan administration.
At his confirmation hearing in 1981, Senator Claiborne Pell asked Rostow if he thought the US could survive a nuclear war. Rostow replied that Japan "not only survived but flourished after the nuclear attack." When questioners pointed out that the Soviet Union would attack with thousands of nuclear warheads rather than two, Rostow replied, "the human race is very resilient. . . Depending upon certain assumptions, some estimates predict that there would be ten million casualties on one side and one hundred million on another. But that is not the whole of the population."[1][2]
In 1984 Rostow became Sterling Professor of Law and Public Affairs Emeritus.
In 1990 Rostow had this to say regarding the Geneva Convention/Oslo Accords and finding a peace between Israel and the Palestinians; The Convention prohibits many of the inhumane practices of the Nazis and the Soviet Union during and before the Second World War - the mass transfer of people into and out of occupied territories for purposes of extermination, slave labor or colonization, for example....The Jewish settlers in the West Bank are most emphatically volunteers. They have not been "deported" or "transferred" to the area by the Government of Israel, and their movement involves none of the atrocious purposes or harmful effects on the existing population it is the goal of the Geneva Convention to prevent. [3]
In 1933 Rostow married Edna Greenberg, and they remained married until his death from congestive heart failure. Together they had three children, Victor, Jessica, and Nicholas and six grandchildren.
His younger brother, Walt Whitman Rostow, served as national security adviser to Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson.

Police Sent for Girl's Overdue Library Books
January 5, 2012
© Veer
The local public library is generally a pretty great place for young families, with free storytimes and loads of books to entice young readers. But one public library is catching some serious flack for sending the police to a young girl's home because of two overdue library books, reports CBS Boston.
Plus: The Best Books to Read with Your Kids
In Charlton, Massachusetts, a police sergeant appeared at the home of 5-year-old Hailey Benoit because her family had failed to return two library books, which were months overdue. After the sergeant left, little Hailey burst into tears out of fear that she would be arrested.
Plus: The Best Books to Pass Down to Your Kids
Check out the full story (and the pretty sympathetic police officer who got dragged into it):
The family eventually found and returned the books, but insisted that the visit from the police was unnecessary. The library claims that they called the police because the family had failed to respond to earlier warnings (which the family says they never received).

Have you ever forgotten to return your kids' library books? Do you think this situation took a turn for the ridiculous?

My children spent the first day of their school year discussing the use of confetti guns with The Flaming Lips, their favorite rock band. No kidding. Before a recent show, Lips singer Wayne Coyne showed Posie and Levi, ages 11 and 9, around the backstage area of Merriweather Post Pavilion, explaining how the band's elaborate show gets put together and letting them stand onstage during sound check.
An amiable, if unlikely, guest instructor, Coyne told the kids that "class wasn't over" when sound check was finished and riffed about the legacy of Miles Davis, the importance of being an artist, and various uses for duct tape and spray paint. He left them with parting words of advice: "Posie and Levi . . . always remember . . . if it looks cool . . . we win."
He broke into a huge grin, gave them hugs, and wished them well with their studies. He then orchestrated an amazing show, one that awed and impressed the children, and Posie bought herself a T-shirt that read, "I experienced The Flaming Lips in concert, and it made me a better human being."
That's how our homeschooling year began.
Will a rock band from Oklahoma be a regular part of our curriculum? Of course not. I happened to interview Coyne the week school began, and, after learning the Merriweather concert coincided with our first day of classes, he extended an invitation to the kids. We've since moved on to history, math, language arts, science, etc., but that first day set a tone that's all about possibility, wonder, excitement, and engagement. And whose education couldn't use more of that?
My wife Anne and I have been homeschooling our children for the past two years. Because the kids are generally well-behaved and articulate, we're often asked where they go to school. Upon hearing they're homeschooled, people's responses generally fall into two categories: dismay ("I could never do that") or curiosity ("I've always wanted to do that"). The former far outnumbers the latter, so it's no surprise that less than 3 percent of U.S. children are taught at home.
And those responses are often accompanied by an assumption that we're either religious conservatives, off-the-grid types, or averse to public schooling. None of those stereotypes apply, especially the rejection of public education—I'm a product of the Baltimore County school system, and Anne graduated from Western.
Basically, we homeschool because we can. Our work schedules—as editor/writer and musician, respectively—are flexible enough, we love learning, and we like spending lots of time with the kids. Don't underestimate the importance of that last item. Sure, everyone likes spending time with their kids, but parents of homeschoolers spend a lot of time with their kids, and they wear a variety of hats. Not just teachers, we're also curriculum setters, guidance counselors, cafeteria workers, activities planners, phys ed coaches, and janitors, too.
Initially a daunting proposition, the scope of those responsibilities is ultimately empowering, especially the part about establishing a curriculum. According to my daughter's latest issue of New Moon Girls, a magazine popular with homeschooled tweens, there are three basic approaches: traditional ("like running a little school in your own home" with rigid schedules and set lesson plans), unschooling (relaxed, unstructured learning that's child-led), and eclectic homeschooling (sort of a mix between traditional and unschooling).
When Posie read the article, she exclaimed, "That's us! We're eclectic homeschoolers."
I think she was afraid we wouldn't fit into any of the categories, and even though we lean traditional, a curriculum that includes The Flaming Lips definitely puts us in the eclectic camp.
Although we considered using a comprehensive curriculum like that offered by Calvert School, we instead selected textbooks, workbooks, and other materials on a subject-by-subject basis. That way, we could customize everything to Posie and Levi's specific needs: Story of the World for both of them, Saxon math for Posie, Calvert math for Levi, and so on. I say "we," but Anne has taken the lead on most of this, and, from what I've seen, it's often the case that mom does the lioness' share of the work.
As a result, our conversation over morning coffee might be about fractions, the difference between a cape and a peninsula, or Eleanor of Aquitaine. Books such as A Dictionary of Earth Sciences, Nebel's Elementary Education, and A History of the American People are stacked on Anne's night stand. And she's just as likely to advocate for vacationing in Williamsburg with a side trip to Jamestown as she is for a jaunt to the beach.
In fact, that's exactly what we did in September when the kids started studying U.S. history. A few days before our departure, Anne discovered we'd be visiting Williamsburg during homeschool week, which features reduced admission prices and programs geared specifically toward kids. So tickets for the four of us cost $26, total, instead of $36 per person, and we were able to leisurely stroll the grounds without being jostled by summer crowds. Homeschoolers in period costume outnumbered Williamsburg employees/re-enactors, and the kids asked intelligent questions to boot. They even said, "Thank you."
Seeing them brought to mind the s-word. If you're a homeschooling parent, you know the s-word. You hear about it constantly, from friends, family members, physicians, and chances are even the mailman has weighed in on it: "Aren't you concerned about socialization?"
"I might be if my children weren't homeschooled," I'm tempted to respond, but usually I tick off how they interact with peers and get outside the house—from sports, music lessons, and volunteering in the community to simply playing with other kids in the neighborhood and occasionally taking classes with other homeschoolers.
Let's face it, we don't live in isolated, or isolating, times. In our wired world, there are many people clamoring for our kids' attention and homeschooling actually helps manage the onslaught. Case in point: Posie and Levi used to watch ABC Kids, a block of children's shows, on Saturday mornings for an hour or two. But Anne and I noticed that afterwards, they'd often be cranky, argumentative, and prone to sarcasm—like the kids on the shows and in the commercials.
Eventually, we decided enough was enough. "We're going to stop watching TV on Saturday mornings," we announced to dejected looks that turned to curiosity after we added, "And we're going to start making TV."
With the kids so computer and media savvy, we figured they could create their own show, and they did. Pole 79—titled from the first two letters of their names followed by their ages at the time—immediately became a media arts course in our curriculum. You can see the results for yourself. Just go to YouTube and search for Pole 79, episodes one to four. You'll see a brother and sister playing Bach and Bob Dylan, reciting Shakespeare and Langston Hughes, riffing about favorite books and music, and generally having a great and goofy time.
Since starting Pole 79, they haven't asked to watch ABC Kids again.
On weekdays, school usually begins at 10 a.m. with Anne leading the kids through yoga or some other exercise, followed by journal writing. Then, it's on to a discussion of history, maybe a quiz on the previous day's lesson, and related reading. After history, Levi might work on his multiplication tables, while Posie does long division. There will likely be some writing exercises, environmental science, and a piano lesson in the mix, as well.
The kids often make their own lunches, leaving Anne to catch up on e-mail, reserve library books online—the interlibrary loan program has saved us a ton of money—or plan the next day's schedule. There's no commute, no rushing around, and the school day usually ends by 3 p.m.
Still, it can be exhausting and even a bit demoralizing when the kids seem unmotivated. On such days, a glass of wine goes down very easily before dinner.
We keep portfolios of both children's work and meet with a rep from the Board of Education once or twice a year. The first meeting was particularly stressful, because it amplified doubts that inevitably came up during the year. Had we chosen the right materials? Was our approach comprehensive enough? Were we meeting standards?
Our Board of Ed rep seemed impressed. "You're covering more ground than we do," he said, looking through our materials. "You certainly seem to have all the bases covered."
We thought so. But just a few weeks ago, Posie mentioned something I'd never considered. "Dad, are we going to have a prom?" she asked.
I hesitated a few seconds before telling her that she'd have a prom, and it will probably be amazing.
Maybe we can get The Flaming Lips to play.

To Have And To Holler. Nagging And Your Health
To have and to holler. We might as well admit that those "I do's" we said when we jumped the broom turn into a lot of "must do's", "did you's" and "you better do" as we start keeping house with our hubby.
Men often complain that their wives nag them. But I'm here to tell you I haven't meet a married man yet who has said he wasn't happy to be alive. All of that nagging? Well, studies prove that married men live longer than single men. And what's more? Married men often live longer because their nagging wives were instrumental in noticing health issues and getting them to the doctor. Women will nag and drag their man into the doctor when necessary.
What some (men) call nagging, others (women) call it caregiving. We take that 'till death do us part bit seriously. The care that women give to men from urging them to seek medical care to actually identifying and getting men to act on issues is instrumental in adding years to the life of married men. A recent article published in the New York Times on "The Nagging Effect" also shows how men have better health as a result of nagging wives.
Researchers proved long ago that happily married couples live longer than singles. But newer studies show that men benefit from the nagging that their wives give them about their health. Married men tend to live 10 years longer than unmarried men. Married men are more likely to adopt a healthier lifestyle due to their wives influences and to get to a doctor when health problems arise due to their wives insistence.
Alas, all is not fair in love and nagging. The same does not hold true for women. In general, women don't benefit health wise from the insistence of a spouse to take care of their health. Married women generally live four years longer than unmarried women because they are financially more capable of taking care of themselves.

Cities With the Worst Credit Scores
NEW YORK (MainStreet) — Wisconsin may want to change its state motto. According to new data from Experian, the dairy state is actually the preferred home of the credit elite, with four of its cities – Wausau, Madison, Green Bay and La Crosse – making the credit bureau's list of American cities with the highest credit scores.
Experian finds consumers in the Midwest generally demonstrated they were good for a loan, while those in the South were still struggling to establish creditworthiness. Eight of the 10 cities with the lowest credit scores were in the Southern U.S. Four of these – Harlingen, Corpus Christi, Tyler and El Paso – are in Texas.
Related Articles
The rankings are based on scores from a random sample of consumers in Experian's database. The scores were calculated using VantageScore, which has a range of 501 to 990. (Recall, there are a number of different credit scores available to both consumers and lenders, beyond just the common 300-850 FICO credit-scoring model.)
Experian says credit scores are improving nationwide, but only slightly.
Five out of 10 of the bottom markets increased their credit scores and decreased debt since Experian analyzed them in 2010. However, average debt nationwide decreased by only about 1%, down about $200 to $24,542, indicating that those working to improve their debt-to-credit ratio, a major component of all credit scores, aren't making too much headway.
"[The] data shows that we still have a long way to go toward economic prosperity, but that many consumers are taking small steps toward improving their credit and debt management," Michele Raneri, vice president of analytics for Experian, said in a press release.
According to the data, the cities with the highest credit scores are:
- Wausau, Wis.: 789
- Minneapolis: 787
- Madison, Wis.: 785
- Cedar Rapids, Iowa: 781
- San Francisco: 781
- Green Bay, Wis.: 780
- Boston: 779
- Peoria, Ill.: 778
- Sioux Falls, S.D.: 778
- La Crosse, Wis.: 777
The cities with the lowest credit scores are:
- Harlingen, Texas: 686
- Jackson, Miss.: 701
- Corpus Christi, Texas: 702
- Monroe, La.: 706
- Shreveport, La.: 706
- Augusta, Ga.: 709
- Bakersfield, Calif.: 709
- Las Vegas: 709
- Tyler, Texas: 710
- El Paso, Texas: 710
You can find the complete list of cities measured in the analysis on Experian's website.

Effect of LC-PUFA on Brain
Find Us On :
The Following is a Sponsored Resource. The sponsor of this content has editorial control.
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is the most abundant omega-3 (n-3) long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA) in the brain and retina. It constitutes 40% of the PUFA in the brain & 60% of the PUFA in the retina. Fifty percent of the weight of the neuron's plasma membrane is composed of DHA
Effect of LC-PUFA on brain:
Both n-3 and n-6 LC-PUFA play important roles in neuronal growth, development of synaptic processing of neural cell interaction, and expression of genes regulating cell differentiation and growth
It has been shown that differentiation and functioning of cultured brain cells requires not only alpha linolenic acid ((ALA) (precursor of DHA) but also very long n-6 and n-3 PUFA. ALA deficiency alters the course of brain development, perturbs the composition and physicochemical properties of brain cell membranes, neurones, oligodendrocytes and astrocytes. This results in neurosensory and behavioral changes. ALA deficiency induces more marked abnormalities in frontal cortex and pituitary gland as compared to other areas of the brain. Thus intellectual abilities, cognition, behavioral aspects, neuropsychiatric disorders are affected by LC-PUFA
Sources of LC-PUFA:
Both fetus and newborn infant are dependent on maternal supply of
which is in turn related to mother's long-term dietary intake.(8) For healthy infants, breast milk supplies LC-PUFA. If infant formula is given, 0.2% DHA & 0.35% of AA of total fatty acids is useful. For preterm infants, since they are born with much less total DHA & AA, they will need an infant formula that includes at least 0.35% DHA and 0.4% AA.(3)
Role of LC-PUFAs in growing period:
Two important LC-PUFA that have been recognized for cognitive development are DHA (a n-3 fatty acid) and Arachidonic acid (a n-6 fatty acid). DHA is a major component of retina reaching concentrations of 30-40% of total fatty acids in the rod photoreceptor in human retina.(3) There is a growth spurt in the human brain during both last trimester of pregnancy and first post natal months with a large increase in the cerebral content of AA & DHA.(3) Thus LC-PUFA are associated with improved visual and cognitive development. It has been found that breast fed children have higher IQ scores compared with children who received on infant formula that did not contain LC-PUFA.(5) Also, mothers whose children were found to be allergic have shown to have lower levels of DHA in their breast milk as compared to milk from mothers of non-allergic children.(6)
A number of studies have shown that consumption of foods such as fish oil containing n-3 fatty acids; eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and DHA is associated with decreased risk of coronary heart disease.(1) However, since n-6 and n-3 fatty acids complete for same enzymes and have different biological roles (often opposing effects) on smooth muscle cells, platelet aggregation and vascular permeability, the balance between n-6 and n-3 fatty acids in diet is of considerable importance.(1) Thus for preterm infants, LC-PUFA intake should be similar to that of human milk with AA to DHA ratio of 1.5 and a DHA content of 0.4%.(2) Addition of LC-PUFA in infant formulas with appropriate regard for quantitative and qualitative quality enables the formula fed infant to achieve the same blood LC-PUFA status as that of breast fed infants.(2)
A cochrane analysis of 11 randomised trials comparing LC-PUFA supplemented formula milk Vs non-supplemented formula milk in term infants found that 3 studies found beneficial effect of LC-PUFA on visual acuity whereas no beneficial effect was seen on physical growth.(7) However no adverse effect of LC-PUFA have been noted when supplemented to formula.

Breath Test for Bad Breath
By Dr. Harold Katz - Bad Breath Expert |
How to Test Your Breath at HOME - For Free!
Just how bad is your breath? See for yourself if your breath is offensive!
How can I test my own breath?
Did you know that it is impossible to smell your own breath by cupping your hand up to your nose and smelling? All you are doing is smelling your hand.
Your body is designed in such a manner that it doesn't allow you to detect your own odor by just breathing into your hand. It's a human process called Acclimation which is necessary so that you are able to smell other things besides yourself.
The best way to check is with a HALIMETER at your dentist office, if they are set up for breath testing - however there are a number of tests you can do at home that can indicate if you may have offensive breath- and they cost you nothing.
Here are a few effective ways to test your own breath at home:
1. The Cotton Test: Wipe the top surface of your tongue with a piece of cotton gauze and smell it. This is probably the most honest way. Also, if you notice a yellowish stain on the cotton, it's likely that you have an elevated sulfide production level.
2. The Lick Test: Lick the back of your hand. Let that dry for about 10 seconds and then smell. If you notice an odor, you may have a breath disorder because the sulfur salts from your tongue have been transferred to your hand.
3. The Dental Floss Test: Run a piece of dental floss between your back teeth (this is the mostly likely place where you may get food caught) and then smell the floss. This may be an indication of the level of odors others detect.
4. The Mirror Test: Stand in front of the mirror and stick your tongue out as far as possible. If you notice that the very back of your tongue is whitish, it may be a sign that you have bad breath.
5. The Observation Test: Judge the reaction of others when you interact with them. After using TheraBreath products, our patients tell us that they are no longer offered gum and mints and people no longer step away from them. It has significantly changed their confidence and improved their lives.
6. The Ask Test: Ask the opinion of someone you can trust (a good friend, a spouse, even your kids). Ask them to check your breath several times daily because breath changes throughout the day.
7. The Diet Test: If certain foods alter your taste, it is a good sign that sulfur compounds are being produced. This usually happens after using alcohol based mouthwashes, eating dairy foods, drinking alcoholic beverages, or after eating sugary products (Altoids, candy, Pepsi, etc.)
If any of the tests above prove positive (meaning you notice an offensive odor or taste) you may want to answer our clinical questionnaire, which will further assist you in your search for fresh breath and taste. This free breath test will take just a few minutes and is strictly confidential. Try our patent pending technology to get an instant online breath score, a detailed breath analysis and product recommendations specifically for your type of breath. Click here to try it now.
As we've said before, the most accurate way to test your breath is to be tested with a Halimeter. This is an instrument which measures the concentration of sulfide molecules in one's breath and saliva. The border line number for fresh breath vs. bad breath is about 75 ppb (parts per billion) according to Dr. Yaegaki who published the definitive article on these values. In our clinics, we have used these guidelines on thousands of patients. We have also demonstrated the use of this sensitive instrument on TV stations across the US, Europe, and Asia.
Dr. Katz has taken this sophisticated method of testing and years of firsthand experience and expertise to create his line of TheraBreath products. Each of his TheraBreath products are thoughtfully made with the best ingredients for the most effective cure for whatever oral issue you may have. Click here to shop our solutions to find the best products for your needs.
Do you have a friend with bad breath and don't know how to tell them? No problem! Let us do it for you anonymously. Click here to send a virtual breath mint to your friend or coworker. All you need is his or her email address and they will be sent an email from us – don't worry, we'll break it to them gently and won't tell them it came from you.

March 27 – Happy Birthday Bill Sudakis
At Major League Baseball's annual winter meetings in December of 1973, the American League owners voted to make the designated hitter rule a permanent feature of Junior Circuit play. As soon as the votes were counted, the Yankees made a trade with the Kansas City Royals acquiring Lou Piniella, who many considered a near-perfect DH role-model. But Sweet Lou, had slumped to a .250 batting average the previous season, so just in case he did not return to his .300-hitting ways, New York hedged their bet by also acquiring on that same day, the switch-hitting Bill "Suds" Sudakis from the Rangers.
The then 28-year-old native of Joliet, IL had broken into the big leagues impressively as a third baseman with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1968. But some serious knee problems during his first few seasons in LA, turned him into a role player. LA had released him in 1971 and after a short-time with the Mets, he had landed in Texas in '73, just in time for the AL's one-year DH experimental season.
He hit 15 HRs for Texas but only DH'd nine times. He also played a lot of third and first for that Ranger team and even went behind the plate for nine games. That versatility and his two-way hitting caught the attention of Yankee GM Gabe Paul, who was able to negotiate the outright purchase of Sudakis's contract from Texas.
Suds would play just one season (1974) in pinstripes. Under the direction of skipper Bill Virdon, the Yanks made a surprising run at for the AL East title that year, finishing just two-games behind the Orioles. Sudakis got into 89 games, mostly as a DH and first baseman. He averaged just .232, but he also hit 7 home runs and drove in 39. His biggest impact on that year's pennant drive however, may have occurred in the lobby of a downtown Milwaukee hotel.
The Yanks were scheduled to fly to Brewer town after a road-series with the Indians to play the last two games of their regular season, but their flight out of Cleveland was delayed for three hours. During those three hours, many of the Yankees did what many big league ballplayers do when they have lots of idle time in an airport, they headed to the bar. Well evidently Sudakis and Dempsey started getting on each other before they left Cleveland and the verbal sparring continued between the two all during their now very late flight. By the time the team departed their bus and entered the lobby of their downtown hotel, Dempsey had reached the boiling point and went after Sudakis like a madman. Yankee players at the scene later verified the ensuing fight was a knockdown drag-out classic with furniture overturned and pictures knocked off the walls. It took quite a while for their Yankee teammates and hotel security to separate the two and when they finally did, it was star outfielder Bobby Murcer, who had gotten the worst of it. Somebody stepped on his hand and broke his finger and that injury kept him out of the next day's lineup against the Brewers. The Yankees lost that game while the Orioles won their contest against the Indians, clinching the division for the Birds.
I'm not 100% certain his role in that fight is the reason the Yanks traded Sudakis to California for pitcher Skip Lockwood that December, but it sure didn't help to prevent it. Sudakis played one more season of big league ball before returning to the minors in 1976.
While researching this post I came across some compelling evidence that Sudakis was a bit crazy. For example, he once offered to add some bounce to Yankee third baseman Graig Nettles bat. He sawed the top off, drilled into the barrel and inserted some super balls and then reattached the sawed-off bat top with Elmer's Glue. Then Yankee shortstop Gene Michael asked Sudakis how he had reassembled the doctored bat and when he got to the Elmer's Glue part, "the Stick" warned him the glue would not hold. Sudakis assured him it would and one week later, after homering with it in his previous at bat, Nettles hit one off the the end of the modified piece of lumber and sure enough, the bat-top pops off and the rubber balls come rolling out the end of it, getting Nettles ejected.
Suds shares his birthday with this legendary Yankee skipper and this long-ago Yankee starting pitcher.

text: Ah yes, the late Vince Lombardi. I can see him now, back in the black and white TV era of the 1960s. He's standing like a statue on the sidelines on the tundra that is a Green Bay football field. Legs apart, polo coat covering his broad shoulders, absurd fedora on his head. And most of all there's his shouting, bellowing, at anyone nearby. The refs, his own players, his assistant coaches, were all fair game, targets of his single minded drive.
