Mobile World Congress has barely started yet, but the
announcements are starting to arrive. First out of the blocks is
Samsung with the Galaxy Beam and Galaxy Tab 2.
The Galaxy Beam is silly. It mashes together a mobile phone and
a pico projector, meaning that instead of getting your friends
to cram around the actually-quite-large four-inch display, you can
beam it onto a convenient wall, ceiling, or other flat surface
instead. The projector pumps out 15 lumens, which is about the same
as an incandescent lightbulb, meaning it'll be fine at night, but
you're not going to see much on a sunny day. Continue reading
In an unprecedented collaboration between Anonymous and
WikiLeaks, on 26 February the secret spilling site began leaking
portions of a massive trove of emails from the private intelligence
firm Stratfor that Anonymous obtained by hacking the
company in December.
WikiLeaks did not mention the source of the reported five
gigabytes of emails in its press release, but did say it has
been working for months with 25 media outlets from around the world
to analyse the documents. Continue reading
Online social capital ranking service PeerIndex has

The Mu, a folding plug design that can transform a chunky
three-pin British plug into a slim 14mm-thick adapter, is available
for pre-order and will ship later this February.
The original concept arose in 2009 and came from South
Korea-born Min-Kyu Choi. He was inspired by Apple's atom-thick
Macbook Air laptop -- which shipped in England with a plug thicker
than the actual gadget, by several orders of magnitude. Continue reading
Who fancies a seven-day journey in an elevator to get 36,000
kilometers into space? One Japanese construction firm is planning
on building a space elevator that would do just that. Plus a new
system for operating electric wheelchairs has been conceived, and
it uses a wheelchair user's tongue as a means of control. And
should our government spend money to route an undersea fibre optic
internet to St Helena's mere 4,000 residents? We'll debate that and
much more on today's show.
We also have a on-location feature at the new Blackfriars train
station, which is the first in London to span the entire width of
the Thames. Work on the 124-year-old Victorian bridge has taken
months to complete in time for the London Olympic Games, and now
includes the largest solar power array ever to feature on a bridge
anywhere in the world. We'll take you inside the project and meet
the people making it happen. Continue reading
Two previous Secretaries of State for Education, a Nobel
Prize-winning academic and Professor Lord Winston are among those
on a committee set with the task of tackling the state of maths and
science education in the UK.
The Royal Society has launched a new project, which it hopes
will "create a new vision for the future of science and mathematics
education," and it is calling on members of the public to add their
views. Continue reading
I never really quite got there with my Hornby "OO" gauge train
set when I was nine years old. Even revisiting the idea of a
miniature railway in my bedroom with a Graham Farrish "N" gauge set
when I was 12 years old didn't seem to help.
My problem was that I never quite wanted to commit to a
particular layout. Nailing down the track in a certain
configuration seemed like a bad idea. The incentive was that with a
particular setup struck down you could then spend hours making
papier mache hills and crafting lifelike trees from washing up
brushes. I did try this from time to time, but my creations seemed
so far removed from the pictures I saw on the box that it wasn't
long before I gave up. Continue reading
Chicken Licken was right, the sky really is falling. Nasa
satellite data has shown that the Earth's cloud tops have
been lowering over the last decade.
Cloud-top height fell one percent on average between March 2000
and February 2010, according to measurements from the multi-angle
imaging spectroradiometer mounted on Nasa's Terra satellite. That
one percent means a reduction of 30 to 40 metres in the average
maximum height of clouds, during the 00s. Continue reading
Apple has acquired app search engine Chomp -- a service that
helps users find iPhone apps amongst the App Store's
half-a-billion-strong collection.
Chomp uses an algorithm to learn what apps do so you can search
by topics and functionality, rather than just names. Search for
something like "streaming music player" or "expense tracker", and
it will return a handful of related apps, complete with
screenshots. Continue reading
Scientists have produced the most precise measurement of a
fundamental particle called the W boson. It will help them search
for the elusive Higgs boson, the discovery of which would be an
epoch-making event.
The W boson's new mass is 80.387 giga electron volts, or GeV,
plus or minus 0.019 GeV. (Scientists often give a particle's mass
in units of energy because, according Einstein's famous E=MC
squared equation, the two are interchangeable.) The most precise
previous measurement had an uncertainty of about 0.060 GeV. Continue reading
A court has once again told Tesla Motors to take a hike and
dismissed the automaker's latest libel charge against the BBC,
producer of the wildly popular (and equally irreverent)
program Top Gear.
Tesla Motors sued the BBC in March, arguing Jeremy Clarkson
and his Top Gear cohorts defamed the company by
claiming the Roadster achieved a paltry 55 miles of range on the
show's test track. That is significantly less than the 200 miles or
more Tesla claims for the car. Continue reading

Jeez this is bad. I have a panel in my short comic that I need but I have no place to put it. If I don't place it I lost continuity, and if I replace it with other I lost continuity with the other. And the panels are already made for each page composition. JEEZ
Looks like you got a choice to make. Which foot are you going to shoot?
Going to play some Pid to refresh the head.
First, I won't ever leave, and secondly, I don't want a limousine, I rather float.
The limousine has been crashed into a ditch and we bought a golden family float, all the supplies have also been moved using the royal butlers. Do you wish anything else, sir?
Even better, we're gonna travel by TELESPACE
Excellent choice :D
I found this old man looking at the stars in Pid. Weird, you basically collect starts like coins in Mario, maybe he is not looking the stars (pervert old man)

Denise Garrido, 26, was initially crowned Miss Universe Canada before she was stripped of her crown just 24 hours later — after a typo was discovered in the results tabulation.
"My reaction was shock and disbelief at the time, and I was so tired from a long day of photos and interviews that I didn't know if I was hearing that correctly,'' Garrido told Today.com. "I was a little bit embarrassed, thinking about how I would tell this to family and friends who were celebrating already."
However, Garrido says that "After stepping back and letting it sink in, it's obvious that it actually was a blessing in disguise. If they had not made a mistake, I would've never experienced that moment, something I've always dreamed of. I don't think I would've received as much attention if I won as I did with this error.''
The mistake was discovered Sunday by a third-party audit that the pageant conducts every year.
Pageant director Denis Davila had to break the news to Garrido that a typo that occurred when the judges' handwritten scores were entered into a computer program skewed the results.
"It was highly embarrassing for Denise and the organization," Miss Universe Canada spokesperson Andrew Lopez told Today.com. "But when a mistake is made, you can either cover it up, or admit the mistake, and that's what (Davila) did. At the end of the day, it's a human mistake."
Garrido, for her part, is maintaining a positive outlook on the situation.
"I was meant to have that moment,'' she said. "I was able to live the dream, and now it's time for Riza to live it for the next year. I've received so much sympathy and compassion from people I don't know, and I'm really touched by it. It has been a roller coaster of emotions, and now it's onward and upward."

It is something to have wept as we have wept,
It is something to have done as we have done,
It is something to have watched when all men slept,
And seen the stars which never see the sun.
It is something to have smelt the mystic rose,
Although it break and leave the thorny rods,
It is something to have hungered once as those
Must hunger who have ate the bread of gods.
To have seen you and your unforgotten face,
Brave as a blast of trumpets for the fray,
Pure as white lilies in a watery space,
It were something, though you went from me today.
To have known the things that from the weak are furled,
Perilous ancient passions, strange and high;
It is something to be wiser than the world,
It is something to be older than the sky.
In a time of sceptic moths and cynic rusts,
And fattened lives that of their sweetness tire
In a world of flying loves and fading lusts,
It is something to be sure of a desire.
Lo, blessed are our ears for they have heard;
Yea, blessed are our eyes for they have seen:
Let the thunder break on man and beast and bird
And the lightning. It is something to have been.
To my mind, the point of an argument is to address the issue that has led to a difference in understanding - and consequently caused a grievance - and thereby reach an amicable solution, or at least a tolerable compromise.
However, such resolution is impossible if either one or both parties refuses to listen to the other person's point of view; this is a fallacy of both logic and ignorance. If both people can explain why they feel the way that they do, then surely it will be so much easier to come to a satisfactory conclusion?
But merely yelling one's obstinate opinion at one another accomplishes nothing. Nothing resolved, no progress made, and your relationship to one another - whatever that maybe be - possibly severely damaged.
This "thing I hate" seagues nicely into my next point: people who cannot substantiate their opinions.
Continuing from the previous "thing I hate" - when publically discussing someone, no matter how much you detest them, you do not post sexual and/or private details about them. The only person you're making look disgusting is yourself. I noticed about five different people doing this to somebody I've never met - a total character assasination.
If you don't like somebody, fine, tell them to their face. Don't get a group of your mates and discuss how bad you heard she was in bed.
What really pissed me off, was that after somebody said what a horrible personality she had, somebody else asked: "One question: is she attractive?"
Excuse me, but WTF? As if that's remotely relevent? As if, if she were, it would be a redeeming feature? Frankly it sounds like this girl would be justified in being a bitch if she's only valued for her appearence anyway - and if she's surrounded by such dickheads.
I've noticed a lot of guys ranting about this recently, and really laying into specific people in a really vulgar and personal manner. Sure, there seems to be a profusion of tattooed and pierced "scene girls" who post attention seeking - and yes, attention grabbing - pictures.
And hell, if you don't like that, fair enough.
But in that case…. don't fucking add them in the first place. Seriously - you complain about girls seeking attention for their looks, when you gave them that attention in the first place? If you decide to associate with someone on the basis of their appearance, don't you think it's just a little hypocritical to then castigate them for flaunting said appearance?

-Lower net debt of GBP1.6 billion, reduced by GBP86 million year on year
-Higher liquidity headroom of GBP290 million, up GBP72 million over the prior year due to improved cash management disciplines

There's a new celebration coming to Kettle Falls on Saturday, Sept. 13. This is a fall event to be held at Happy Dell Park. It has been named "Festival of Neighbors" in hopes of bringing together not only our local citizens, but also our neighboring communities as well. A new group of volunteers with great new ideas and plenty of enthusiasm are organizing it. Kettle Falls Mayor Dorothy Slagle stated, "We're working with our Chamber of Commerce to create an event that celebrates our area and brings more awareness to our history and all we have to offer here."

Supply is down
Soaring meat prices are hitting producers, suppliers and consumers across the country. The price of beef and veal shot up more than 10 percent from June 2013 to June 2014, according to the most recent Consumer Price Index. Pork prices rose by 12 percent.
The largest price increases in three years are driven by one principle component: supply.

2020 N. 13th Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19122, United States
Activist and writer Che Gossett will present "Media Activism: Mobilizing for Racial, Sexual and Gender Justice."
Kiyoshi Kuromiya's voice of resistance was part of a collective cry vocalized by radical queer, trans and gender variant people of color who battled imperialism, racism, the criminalization of HIV/AIDS, and the prison industrial complex during the 1960s and into the 2000s. Radical LGBTQ and gender-non-conforming people of color both resisted and were impacted by COINTELPRO, the war on the black liberation movement, the FBI surveillance of gay liberationist groups, the Reagan administration's apathy towards AIDS, gay consumerism and neoliberal market policies. While many of the queer left have critiqued the limits of mainstream LGBT political horizons, there have been few attempts to historicize and contextualize them.
One of the goals of my talk will be to show a queer history of the present. Kuromiya's life also sheds new light on LGBT, civil rights, black power, New Left, queer and AIDS activist social movements and history. Kuromiya's story is a counter to the portrayals of the civil rights and black power movement history which overlook the role that queer and trans people of color played, and it also expands the lens of mainstream LGBT history to show the role of AIDS activists of color and ACT UP Philadelphia as well as local acts of resistance such as the Dewey Café uprising which preceded Stonewall.
Che Gossett is a black gender queer and femme fabulous writer and activist. Gossett is a contributor to Captive Genders: Trans Embodiment and the Prison Industrial Complex (eds. Nat Smith and Eric Stanley) and The Transgender Studies Reader v. II (eds. Aren Azuira and Susan Stryer), and this past summer had the honor of being part of a phenomenal delegation of archivists and librarians to Palestine. Gossett is currently working on a biography of queer Japanese American AIDS activist, Kiyoshi Kuromiya.

BLACK CAT APPRECIATION DAY - SUNDAY 17th AUGUST
Did you know that black cats have the lowest adoption rate and the highest euthanasia rate? Although it seems to be irrational, there are a number of theories as to why they are the hardest to home.
Of course, there is superstition - for centuries black cats have been rumoured to be bad luck.
Some people claim that it is difficult to connect with a black cat in a rescue, who may blend into the shadows, or because black cats don't always show up as well in photographs on web pages.
Also, as most rescues are so full these days, there are inevitably a wide range of colours which people are more drawn to - whilst the black cats can seem to fade into the background, and are just passed by.
Shelters have known this for years. Black cats are far more likely to be euthanized than other cats, shelter staffers say. Only half the number of black cats find homes when compared with coloured ones. Shelters try all kinds of ways to find homes for black cats, such as two-for-one specials and other promotions like "Black Is the New Black," "Adopt a Mini-Panther," "Black Goes With Everything" and "Back in Black."
Most often people walk right by the black cats.
As any cat lover will know, all cats are individuals, including black cats. There are friendly cats, aloof cats, playful cats' talkative cats and so on in every colour, including black.
Regardless, black cats are overlooked time and time again, for coloured cats. Even black kittens are left until last for adoption, while their more colourful siblings are chosen first. The outlook for a black, adult cat in a rescue is therefore very bleak. Some spend many months in rescue, sometimes even years, waiting for someone to see past their colour.
If you are looking to adopt a cat, please consider a black one. They are every bit as affectionate and playful as their lighter coloured counterparts.
We will be posting more information about adopting black cats over the next few days.
With thanks to Kindness for Cats and Black Cat Rescue
When we think of animals who are cruelly used for our clothing we mostly think of leather and fur. And we are well aware of the horrors involved in the production of fur, particularly on Chinese fur farms which produce more than half of the finished fur garments imported for sale in the United States. Foxes, minks, rabbits, dogs, cats, and other animals pace and shiver in outdoor wire cages, with no shelter from driving rain, freezing nights, or the scorching sun. There are no penalties for abusing animals on fur farms in China.
But there are many other victims of the fashion industry.
Each year, millions of sheep, goats, geese, ducks, rabbits, silkworms and other animals are exploited by the down and silk industries, causing unnecessary pain and suffering.
Anyone who purchases products made from wool is supporting a cruel and bloody industry.
If sheep were allowed to breed naturally, they would grow just enough wool to protect themselves from temperature extremes – what it is intended for. The fleece provides them with effective insulation against both cold and heat.
However, modern sheep have been selectively bred to have thick heavy coats. About 50% of all wool used worldwide comes from Australia. The most commonly raised sheep there is the Merino. Merinos have been specifically bred to have wrinkly skin to produce more wool. Their coats are so thick that some die of heat exhaustion during hot months. Unlike wild sheep, Merinos cannot shed their fleece.
Because of this their wool will grow longer and longer while flies lay eggs in the moist folds of their skin. The hatched maggots can eat the sheep alive.
To prevent this from happening, ranchers will perform an operation called mulesing. Without anesthesia large strips of flesh are cut of the backs of lambs and around their tails.
Other procedures performed without anesthesia include punching a hole in the ears of lambs several weeks after birth, docking their tails and castrating the males. The castrations are done when the male lambs are between 2 and 8 weeks old, with the use of a rubber ring to cut off their blood supply.
Every year, millions of lambs die before the age of 8 weeks from exposure or starvation, and mature sheep die every year from disease, lack of shelter, and neglect.
Shearers are usually paid by volume, not by the hour, which encourages fast work without regard for the welfare of the sheep. The shearing shed is also know to be the place where shearers physically abuse the sheep – punching them and hitting with the shears.
When the wool production of sheep declines, they are sold for slaughter. Millions of lambs and sheep are exported for slaughter each year. In Australia they have to travel long distances before reaching very crowded feedlots, where they are held before being loaded onto ships. Many sheep die in the holding pens.
Those who survive the holding pens are packed tightly into ships. Lambs born during the trip are often trampled to death. Many sheep get injured or die.
In Europe they have to travel long distances in tightly packed trucks without food or water. They are frequently exported to countries with minimal slaughter regulations.
There are many alternatives to wool – including cotton, cotton flannel, polyester fleece, synthetic shearling,linen, hemp bamboo and other cruelty-free fibers. Tencel—breathable, durable, and biodegradable—is one of the newest cruelty-free wool substitutes.
THE CRUELTY WITHIN THE FASHION INDUSTRY: (Part 2 of 4)
Down is the soft layer of feathers closest to the birds' skin, found mostly in the chest region. Because these feathers do not have quills, they are highly valued. While most down and other feathers are removed from ducks and geese during slaughter, birds in breeding flocks and those raised for meat and foie gras may be plucked repeatedly while they are still alive.
Plucking causes geese and ducks considerable pain and distress. Typically, they are lifted by their necks or delicate wings, their legs are physically restrained or tied, and their feathers are ripped right out of their skin. The struggling birds are often plucked so hard that their skin is torn open and the hurried workers sew up the wounds using needle and thread and no pain relief.
Plucking may begin when the animals are just 10 weeks old and be repeated in six-week intervals until the birds are slaughtered for meat long before they would naturally die.
Most products labeled "down" contain a combination of these underfeathers and other feathers or fillers.
Buying down may support the production of foie gras. Ducks and geese are forcefed with grain and fat that is pumped into their stomachs until their livers become diseased and enlarged. The birds are slaughtered, and their livers are sold as a "delicacy." Many foie gras producers supplement their income by selling the birds' feathers.
Up to 5 ounces of feathers and down are pulled from each bird every six weeks from the time they are 10 weeks old until they are up to 4 years old. Plucking birds causes them considerable pain and distress.
Down is expensive and becomes useless when wet. Cruelty free alternatives are synthetic fillers such as PrimaLoft® and Thinsulate™ which retain their insulating capabilities in all weather.
(We are including angora, as it may not be well-know how much these rabbits suffer for the clothing industry)
Angora wool, used in everything from sweaters to mittens and hats, comes from angora rabbits who have extremely soft, thick coats. A PETA Asia undercover investigator visited almost a dozen rabbit farms in China last year, the source of 90 percent of the world's angora. The investigator filmed workers who were violently ripping the fur from the animals' sensitive skin as they screamed in agony.
Rabbits who have their fur cut or sheared also suffer - during the cutting process, their front and back legs are tightly tethered - a terrifying experience for any prey animal—and the sharp cutting tools inevitably wound their delicate skin as they struggle desperately to escape. Cuts are sewn up by workers without anaesthetic.
After this terrifying and barbaric ordeal, which the rabbits endure every three months, many of them appeared to go into severe shock - lying motionless inside tiny, filthy cages.
There are no penalties for abuse of animals on farms in China and no standards to regulate the treatment of the animals. After two to five years, those who have survived are hung upside down, their throats are slit, and their carcasses are sold.
In the wild, rabbits live in elaborate underground warrens, but on a typical angora farm, they are housed alone in wire-mesh cages not much bigger than their own bodies.
The wire cages offer little protection from the elements, so the rabbits have no way to keep themselves warm after they have been plucked bald. When forced to live on wire flooring, rabbits' tender feet become raw, ulcerated, and inflamed from constantly rubbing against the wire.
Rabbits are naturally clean animals, but on angora farms they must live surrounded by their own waste. These animals never have a chance to dig, jump, or run as they would in the wild, where they can roam an area of up to one square mile a day.
Female rabbits produce more wool than do males, so on larger farms, male rabbits who are not destined to be breeders are killed at birth.
Angora rabbits are first sheared or plucked when they are just 8 weeks old, and they are subjected to the same terrifying ordeal every few months following that. After two to five years, rabbits who have survived this repeated abuse killed and sold for meat.
The United Nations reports that at least 1 billion rabbits are killed each year for their fur, which is used in clothing, as lures in flyfishing, and for trim on craft items.
Following PETA Asia's investigation, dozens of retailers have
banned angora. A list of some of these companies may be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/92jijoc942xdztx/Companies%20that%20have%20Banned%20the%20Use%20of%20Angora%20Fur%20in%20any%20of%20their%20Clothing.doc
Whilst many will consider that an insect is outside the parameters of our compassion, the suffering of any creature should be a priority for us.
The silkworm is the larva or caterpillar of the domesticated silkmoth.
Silk is the fiber that silkworms weave to make cocoons Approximately 3,000 silkworms are killed to make every pound of silk. To obtain the silk, the worms are boiled alive inside their cocoons.
Humane alternatives to silk—including nylon, milkweed seed pod fibers, silk-cotton tree and ceiba tree filaments, polyester, and rayon—are easy to find and usually less expensive, too
Contrary to what many consumers think, "shearling" is not sheared wool; the term refers to the sheep. A shearling is a yearling sheep who has been shorn once. A shearling garment is made from a sheep or lamb shorn shortly before slaughter. The skin is tanned with the wool still on it. It can take 25 to 45 individual sheep hides to make just one shearling garment.
Also called "astrakhan," "broadtail," or "Persian wool," karakul lamb fur comes from lambs who were killed as newborns or while still in their mothers' wombs. Because their unique, highly prized curly fur begins to unwind and straighten within three days of birth, many karakul lambs are slaughtered when they are only 1 or 2 days old.
Iin order to get a karakul fetus' hide - which is valued for its exceptional smoothness—the mother's throat is cut and her abdomen slashed open to remove the developing lamb. A mother typically gives birth to three lambs before being slaughtered along with her fourth fetus, about 15 to 30 days before he or she is due to be born. As many as 4 million karakul lambs are slaughtered for their fur every year.
Cashmere is hair that is shorn from cashmere goats' underbellies. These goats are often kept on farms where they are dehorned and castrated and have their ears notched without anesthesia. Goats with "defects" in their coats are typically killed before the age of 2. Industry experts expect farmers to kill 50 to 80 percent of young goats whose coats do not meet standards. Shearing robs goats of their natural insulation, leaving them vulnerable to cold temperatures and illnesses. Many goats are sold to be slaughtered for their flesh after shearing.
If you don't want to support the exploitative trade that is fashion from animal products, please always choose animal-free fashions. If in doubt rather choose to not purchase.
There are many reported instances of real fur being labelled and sold as faux fur. The fur of rabbits and other animals winds up mislabeled as faux fur, perhaps because manufacturers realize that there is widespread opposition to using animals for fur and want to capture more customers than they could if they admitted the fur was real.
The Federal Trade Commission approved Fur Products Labeling Act has strict guidelines as to the labelling of fur products.

The chances are fairly good that when we begin our vegan journey, we will have items in our cupboards that we bought in the past that are not vegan.
What do we do about the leather wallets, shoes, belts or wool coats we have purchased before our decision to become vegan?
We could argue that since the animal has already been killed this is not hurting any animals in the future?
There are a number of choices we could make:
We could simply dispose of the items.
We could give them to an animal charity, for them to sell and raise funds
We could donate them to a homeless shelter, or give them to friends or family.
- We could keep them.
The answer to this dilemma is one of personal choice. However, I believe that destroying these items is a slap in the face of the animals that suffered their whole lives to be slaughtered and turned into clothing.
In my opinion the best solution is to sell them to friends or family - or in the classifieds. However, this does serve to further the idea that the use of animals for our purposes is acceptable. A solution to this is to make it clear to the buyers that the reason you are letting them go is because you are going cruelty free and are now vegan, so you feel that keeping them is wrong. And then, whatever funds you raise from the sale of your goods, you can donate to an animal shelter.
It is not ideal to promote the idea that there is a market for clothes made of animal products. But my belief is that it is not the right choice to to be vegan and continue to allow friends and family to see you wearing these clothes. In many ways, we need to be ambassadors for veganism. We are still in the minority, but our cause is just. However, vegans are still the brunt of much criticism and ridicule. We need to show non-vegans how easy it really is to move away from our old way of life and to fully embrace veganism. And that is hard to do whilst wearing a leather jacket.

Optoma MovieTime DV10
Optoma MovieTime DV10- Summary
The MovieTime DV10 is hard not to like. Easy to setup, easy to move to a different location, and image quality comparable to virtually any other entry level projector, and better than many, it should gain a huge following.
The toughest part of the decision is whether to get yourself a MovieTime, or go the tradtional route with a separate projector, sound, and sources.
The MovieTime DV10 home theater projector offers "entry-level" resolution – the same as today's DVD's but lower than HDTV. True resolution is WVGA (854×480 pixels). You get a level of sharpness way beyond traditional TV, and when viewing DVD's one comparable to other entry level projectors and just a tad softer than the higher resolution 1280x720p projectors. (Other DLP projectors with that higher resolution start at $2500 and go to $15,000 or more).
Sound is decent, actually pretty good in small rooms, but I would definitely recommend the small optional subwoofer, which will give your movies that kick that today's special effects call for. Budget tight – start without the sub, and add it later if you figure you need more bass.

How to Eat With Braces
Braces can be very painful. Eating the right food will help with the discomfort.
1If you're feeling tender, try soft foods that require little or no chewing. Yogurt, applesauce, and oatmeal are good.Ad
2Stay away from chewy food, such as gum. This might take off a band and you'll have to go into the orthodontist to get it fixed.
3Don't ever eat hard candy. This increases the possibility that you will break off one of the brackets. It has been done before, and is very annoying to have to go in and have it glued on again.
4Only eat carrots that are already cooked. Crunchy foods such as these are not good for braces and might loosen them slightly! It's okay to eat them now and then, but avoid them.
5Popcorn and unsliced apples aren't good, either. They'll get stuck in your braces, and getting them out is a real pain.Ad
Are you an expert on writing letters?
If so, share what you know about how to write an introductory letter.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
We are a bit smarter today because of you.
- Follow your orthodontist's instructions! Don't eat what they tell you not to, and take their advice.
- If your cheeks or gums are sore, you can drink cool drinks to ease the pain.
- If you really want to eat popcorn or candy just be careful not to get them in your braces.

RENSSELAER, N.Y. – Two women were arrested after they were allegedly caught using heroin in a parked car.
The city of Rensselaer Police Department arrested 36-year-old Lisa Miner-Wynn of John Street and her 24-year-old stepdaughter Jasmine Wynn of the same address Wednesday.
Police said officers spotted the vehicle parked on the side of the 1500 block of Second Street. It appeared the driver was slumped over in the vehicle.
Officers approached the vehicle and could see there were hypodermic needles on the subjects' laps, and they were attempting to inject heroin at the time, according to police.
Both women were taken into custody and evaluated by Rensselaer Fire Department EMS personnel.
Both were charged with Criminal Possession of a controlled Substance, Criminally Possessing a Hypodermic Instrument and Loitering.
Wynn was released on an appearance ticket. Miner-Wynn had several other vehicle and traffic law charges and was held on a warrant from unrelated charges.

Iraq simply cannot survive with Maliki in charge
It is all very well William Hague, the Foreign Secretary, calling for the Iraqis to pull together to defeat the threat posed by the al-Qaeda affiliate, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), but the simple fact of the matter is that so long as Nouri al-Maliki, Iraq's pro-Iranian Shia prime minister, remains in charge, the disintegration of the country under his leadership will get worse, not better.
As I have previously pointed out, the roots of the current crisis lie in Mr Maliki's refusal to address the legitimate concerns of Iraq's once prosperous Sunni tribes, preferring instead to maintain a close alliance with his fellow Shia backers in Tehran. While there have long been suspicions about Mr Maliki's links to the head of Iran's sinister Quds Force, General Qassem Suleimani, these have intensified ever since Barack Obama decided to abandon Iraq to its fate in 2011 by ending America's military presence in the country.
With Western powers now scrambling to prevent this pivotal country from collapse, with all the implications that would have for the stability for the rest of the region, we should not be surprised to find that Mr Maliki has turned to his old Quds Force associate for help in defeating ISIS militants, hardly a move designed to reassure the Sunni tribesmen who are already concerned about their prime minister's close links to Tehran.
Indeed, the longer this conflict goes on, the more obvious it becomes that Mr Maliki is part of the problem, rather than the solution.
This was plain for all to see when earlier this week he ruled out the possibility of forming a national unity government to confront the current crisis, hardly the conduct of someone who genuinely has the interests of all the Iraqi people at heart.
If Iraq really is to stand any chance of pulling together to defeat a common enemy, rather than breaking up into separate Kurdish, Sunni and Shia cantons, then the best thing that could happen would be for Mr Maliki to stand down and allow Iraqis to choose a leader who represents them all, and not just the majority Shias.
And, so far as I'm concerned, the sooner that happens, the better.

For Release through March 7
DALLAS- When a nuclear blast goes off, the Earth shakes. Seismologists can use the Earth's vibrations to discover the size, force and location of nuclear activity, as well as of other explosions and natural occurrences around the world. Brian Stump, the next featured speaker in the Brookhaven College Science Lecture Series, will present "Forensic Seismology and Nuclear Testing: The Detective Work of Seismologists." The lecture series continues this spring on March 2 at 7 p.m. in Bldg. X, Room X1091.
For decades, there has been a connection between seismology and nuclear-explosion monitoring. Seismology is able to bring together data that can determine where and when a seismic event occurred, and what caused it.
Stump, Albritton Chair of Geological Sciences at Southern Methodist University, served three years as program manager of the Nuclear Test Monitoring Group at Los Alamos National Laboratory and took part in negotiations for the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in Geneva, Switzerland. Since 1987, Stump has served as the Secretary of the Department of Defense Seismic Review Panel, where he contributes as an expert in the identification, location and yield determination of nuclear explosions.
In conjunction with the Science and Lecture Series, the Mathematics and Science Division at Brookhaven College brings in area experts in various fields to share their knowledge and practice with the public. Brookhaven College is located at 3939 Valley View Lane in Farmers Branch. For additional information regarding the lecture series, contact the Mathematics and Science Division at 972-860-4750.

Hi and thanks for reading, even more thanks for replying. So I just bottled my first batch of Munton's IPA last night. This is my first attempt at home brewing.
First things first. I did not follow the recipe. I was told by my supplier to boost the alcohol content by adding more sugar. So I did. I added six cups of confectioner's sugar (the powdery stuff) to my batch. This ultimately resulted in cidery tasting samples. Then I added five ounces of dextrose to my bottling bucket to give the beer carbonation at bottling time. This was not on the recipe either but my supplier recommended it.
Out of curiosity I chilled one of the beers I had bottled and decided to try it out. It looked like piss. It was the exact color of pee and was so cloudy that I couldn't see the Yuengling label through the liquid that was printed on my glass. Now the taste. I realized that my beer was not yet carbonated nor aged, but I wanted to get a feel for what it may turn out to be in a couple of weeks. It tasted very cidery and nothing like any IPA I've ever had. Not to mention that I've never seen an IPA have a color like my brew.
*** QUESTION TIME *** What kind of sugar do you add to your wort that will boost alcohol and not taste cidery? Why is my beer so cloudy? What kind of sugar are you supposed to add to aide in carbonating and how much? And lastly, Why was my beer that dreadful color?
Hopefully the aging and carbonating will help the taste and color.
Any help is greatly appreciated guys and gals.
Cheers! Ethan
thanks yooper. Im located in the Philadelphia area. Home Sweet Homebrew is where I've been getting supplies but the Munton's can was a gift. I did use a hydrometer and it read 1.000 for three days straight. The Munton's directions are posted on their website.
Have a good one!
well, i'm far from an expert, but one thing I have learned from my local brew store and from reading this forum is that adding sugar to the wort is unnecessary and makes the beer watery and cidery, as you've already discovered. you want to get all your sugar from the malt extract. if you got a kit, it should have come w/ enough malt extract to make five gallons of beer without additional sugar. if it didn't, in the future, you should make sure you have enough malt extract to do so.
the only time sugar should be used is for priming. and this step comes after fermentation is complete and is for the sole purpose of carbonating your bottles. corn sugar is ideal for this step and requires about 3/4 cup in 2 cups of water (for a five gallon batch). you pour that solution into a bottling bucket and then rack your fully fermented beer (you'll want to have had the beer in the primary fermenter for at least 3 weeks) into the bucket and then bottle.
The cook in me is screaming, confectioner's sugar has corn starch added as to not stick. I don't know what corn starch does to beer. But, I love corn chips and beer so maybe everything will be fine.
There's only one thing I would add to what Yooper said, and that is NEVER DO ANYTHING YOUR SUPPLIER TELLS YOU TO DO EVER AGAIN! If what you're telling us is true, then that's some of the worst homebrew advice I've ever heard. Stick with HBT.com for all of your questions. Lot's of real smart brewers on here.
The one thing you will hear from people at sites like this is, "the beer is young, give it time and you should be ok."
With that said, there is a lot of very good advice to be garnered at this place by very well respected people. Read what they have to say, begin putting what they say into practice and you will soon develop confidence and experience along with very good beer.
I agree with Kayabrew. This place sounds like they are giving out some bad advice. Everything you need to know is here for the asking.
We've also got some great recipes, so look in the recipe section. Adding a certain amount of sugar to your beer is ok, but it's also totally unnecessary, as you can get all the proper fermentables from extract, without the off-flavors.
Try brewing another batch, from a recipe from here, or order a kit from online. The big names (norther brewer, midwest, and austin homebrew) have pre-built recipe kits and will give the beer they describe garunteed.
Also, please don't throw out your beer. It will taste better in a few weeks or a couple of months, even if it never gets perfect.

PEABODY — The School Committee has given Mayor Ted Bettencourt a green light to move ahead with hiring a city facilities manager to oversee all school and city buildings and develop a strategic plan for their upkeep.
Bettencourt, who chairs the committee, said the city has millions of dollars invested in the city's schools, public safety facilities and other municipal buildings, and many of them are aging.
"Right now, we deal with issues when they come to the point of emergency," Bettencourt said, which means it "often costs more to fix." He wants to implement a citywide maintenance program to extend the life of those buildings and avoid costly emergency repairs.
With one person managing a capital plan and maintenance program for 10 city schools, five fire stations, three public libraries, the police station, City Hall and other municipal buildings, the city can save millions of dollars over the years, he said.
"I think this is really going to benefit our school buildings to make sure the maintenance that's needed gets done," said School Committeeman Tom Rossignoll, speaking at a meeting Tuesday night.
Bettencourt said about $1 million in state funding for the new middle school hinges on hiring a facilities manager who would implement a comprehensive maintenance plan at the school.
Bettencourt said the Massachusetts School Building Authority has questioned why the city didn't have a facilities manager already, which is why he sought to add the position to the city budget last summer. Now $100,000 is set aside for the job.
The council still needs to adopt an ordinance authorizing the new position, now that the School Committee has relinquished control of the maintenance of school buildings. Bettencourt said he plans to present a job description and request action on the matter at the council's next meeting. The position would be treated like any other department head.
