Don't we all just love dolphins. Very good f
Trip Start
Sep 10, 2010
Trip End
Feb 19, 2011
Where I stayed
Lovina is our last stop on Bali before we hit the road again, or rather the road, the ocean and the tracks (railway). The town is actually five small adjoining villages along the north coast of the island, and is mainly hotels, bars and restaurants. The usual tourist stuff but pretty nice for a few days. Before we arrived we wondered why the south was so much more popular and then we saw the beach - black sand, which is quite coarse and gets pretty churned up for about 10 metres out from the shore line. So it looks dirty, but is actually very clean once you get out beyond the 10m line, though to get there means wading through all the silt which sticks to your body and doesn't feel great.
The weather is also getting the better of us these days - it's still very hot and near 100% humidity at times, and it rains very heavily in short busts throughout the day, so we are confined to staying in hotel, bar or restaurant. Not such an inconvenience really as we hadn't planned on doing much but it has scuppered our moped ride to the top of the nearby mountain to see the Buddhist temple.
So our main adventure here was dolphin watching which meant getting up at 5am. The pesky mammals only come within easy reach of the shore in the early mornings and at first it felt like a mistake to go on this trip. There were so many boats and at times there must have been 50 or more chasing after two distance fins, and to me they didn't look to be the healthiest or most exciting specimens - I suspect they had a bit of flipper flop though we'd need to check that with a marine veterinarian I suspect. But sure enough the boat man said he knew a better place and so we left all the others behind, heading off way into the distance, both of us regretting having gotten up so early just to be chucked around on the open ocean with not a beastie in site. Then they all appeared.
We were the only two on our boat, which is little more than a motorised tree trunk, so when the dolphins surface next to you they feel close enough to touch. We had about 15 minutes of cruising around with them and maybe 3 other boats, and then we were spotted and the crowds gathered. But that first 15 minutes was fantastic, the photos of course can't capture the feeling of being surrounded by perhaps 100 or more dolphins as they hunted tuna. We didn't manage to get one on camera, but there were many young dolphins, apparently only a few weeks old which were exceedingly fast and seemed to be sticking very close to their mothers in a high speed race with the fish. The fish lost.
In the end, we stopped complaining about our 5am rise - it was well worth it and we had time to go back to bed after breakfast and catch up on our much needed beauty sleep.
Its possible that we will be out of touch in the coming days as we are heading off into the Volcano region of Eastern Java to do some volcano climbs. Fingers crossed for no monsoon rain in the Bromo region or that will make our adventure somewhat more challenging and much less fun. We don't need to be moist anymore.

What does 80/10/10 mean ???
What does 80/10/10 mean ???
have seen this a couple of times in comments on recipes… please explain !
Note: I am avoiding sugars and salts along with meat and milk and egg ingredients… is there a way to search for THAT sort of Recipe in particular ?
Thanks !
80/10/10 are percents. Also written as 8/1/1.
80% carb, 10% each protein and fat.
The proponents of this form of raw foodism eat a mostly fruit and mono-meals (don't eat until you are really hungry, stuff yourself on one kind of fruit and then dont' eat again until you are really hungry)
I believe that this is a good diet if you are an athlete, but I haven't studied up on it AT ALL and I am glossing over the details.
Please 811-ers, did I describe it all right? :D
You can look at www.foodnsport.com. In my opinion it is most simple and natural way of eating. It is mostly monomeals but there are salads, ssmoothies and raw soups also. As long as you keep it simple. But to understand it properly you need to reed the book "The 80/10/10 Diet" by Dr. Douglas Graham.
Gourmet- Why are you avoiding all salts and sugars? I understands why you are avoiding animal protien, those are big no nos!
Your body is fueled by glucose – aka sugar. Your body needs salts (sodium) to survive along with glucose. Refined sugars are bad, and sea salts/ rock salts are also bad. But why all sugars and salts? What do you eat?
Please give me a meal plan of yours, so I can understand how you could survive while avoiding sugar and salt.
Live, Love Peace
ungrateful- You have the gist of it, but it's not that we don't eat until we are "really" hungry, we don't eat until we are truly hungry. Appetite and hunger are very different. I usually don't wait until true hunger kicks in to the fullest, I only eat 2 meals a day though. I only need 2 meals a day. This gives my body time to digest all the food, and then repair itself. When your body is working on digesting it can't concentrate on other parts of your body (as in cleaning out, repairing, restocking, etc). a
Also, we don't eat until we stuff ourselves, that would be silly. Some of us do stuff ourselves, in the beginning, only in order to reach our nutritional and calorie needs, while our stomachs are still shrunken from dehydrated/cooked lifestyles. Once we stretch our stomachs out, we rarely eat until we are stuffed. If we did, we would be over eating, and causing stress on the body. 811 is a form of natural hygiene, not gluteny! :)
If you have any questions ungrateful I would be glad to give you a better idea!
Dear Tree Of Life
If you are 'really' interested, it is largely due to the program that this website is dedicated to:
In short, it is about limiting salts (beyond what NATURALLY occurs in vegetables) and Oils/Fats beyond the few 'healthy' ones (like Grapeseed Oil and Extra Virgin Olive).
This is in general what C.H.I.P (Cardiac Health Improvement Project) promotes, along with No Meat, Eggs, nor Milk. The Seventh Day Adventists promote it largely because it both 'fits their ideal lifestyle' and also because it DOES help one live a Very Healthy Lifestyle.
Whole Grains and Food In Its Natural State are key concepts, also. So, too, is getting a LOT of daily exercise.
Myself ? I used to be a Strict Vegan in the late 60's-early 70's, and haven't eaten any Red Meat 'for ages'... but, I DID go back to eating some fowl, seafood, and eggs with some milk products.
Now, as a Type 2 Diabetic, with the double-whammy of High Cholesterol (came as a surprise) and High Blood Pressure, this program seems like a 'perfect fit'...
As for your questions, specifically —Salt, of course, contributes to Hypertension. Sugar per se does NOT lead to Diabetes, despite common belief -- what DOES matter, generally, is thought to be 'All Carbs' which the bofy DOES convert to Sugar for the blood to disperse in the body - HOWEVER, what CHIP admonishes is that it is NOT Carbs (nor Sugar) that creates Diabetes, but, rather, OILs and FATS !
That said, it simply is true that today many people are eating way too many fats and oils and sugars and starches and meat and eggs and milk et al - consuming WAY MORE Calories than they actually NEED.
Just as this 8/1/1 seems like it probably has SOME similarities to CHIP (but THAT urges a '3 A Day' approach: Eat Breakfast Like A King, Lunch Like A Prince, and Dinner Like A Pauper —the Breakfast being the 'most important meal of the day' and so on) -- clearly there ARE some 'things in common' here.
Flax Seed is an important part of CHIP, and it seems to be so HERE in the recipes that I have so far looked at.
Likewise, many non-Vegetarians seem overly concerned about getting enough Protein IF they were to 'join our ranks' - essentially this is pretty much the same sort of 'thinking' that YOU seem to be suffering from ? That is, we can and DO get PLENTY of 'starches' (that get converted to Sugar) and a LOT of Sodium in our diet EVEN if we eat primarily Vegtables, Fruits and Grains.
I drink a lot of Soy Milk and/or Almond Milk, BTW.
If you still have any questions, please let me know !
Thanks for showing the interest and especially the implied CONCERN !
Meanwhile, I have gotten my Diabetes Med. cut in half since starting the CHIP plan a couple of weeks ago.
LOVE, Matt
Matt, that is great you got your meds reduced. That's what it's all about, isn't it? less medication and a better quality of life.
Thanks, Jason. if I have any questions, i will let you know :)
Be careful on all oils. I like how you say "'healthy' oils", I'm assuming you already know the previous statement. You say "whole grains and food in its natural state are key concepts". Keep in mind, all oils are refined products of food, so therefor they are definitely not in their natural state. Actually, 100% of their calories are derived from oil, which you would never see in the wild. And for diabetes, I'm sure you know consuming fats are not good. It sounds like "CHIP" does have the basic belief.
People who follow 811 go right to the source, ie fruits. We skip out whole grains, grains were not meant for human consumption :)
I'm very happy that your diabetes medicine is being used in minimal amounts. You should be able to completely get rid of your diabetes type 2. Diabetes type 1 is a different story. Actually check out Robby Barbaro's Blog he is a type 1 diabetic!
I wish you luck in your journey, and may you completely overcome your diabetes!
And yes, exercise is a key part to life!
Live, Love Peace
TreeOfLife – 80/10/10 is not the only way to heal the body of diabetes (type 1 or type 2), though it works well for some. I am a type 1 diabetic, and I have found great success (I use only one-third of my previous amount of insulin) by eating raw – I eat whatever I want, as long as it's raw, and that changes from time to time. I would estimate my current fat percentage at about 40% of total calories, but I don't try to eat certain percentages of anything; just as much of whatever my body wants.
Fat is not always bad for diabetics, either – I read a book once that talked about how the diabetics who "cheated" the most with regard to fat intake, had the best improvement in their blood glucose levels.
gourmet gormand vegan – It sounds like you're finding things that work well for you – that's awesome! Keep up the good work.
Tree Of Life
What I find surprising, and do NOT understand: Why so many Recipes here call for Coconut Oil ? Isn't that not 'raw' but processed and, worse, high in undesirable fatty acids/oils ? Triglycerides and such ?
Also - it comes as a surprise to learn that humans were not meant to eat grains ?
Where is that 'written' ? Seems to me like eating grains and nuts and seeds is pretty much related, as is eating most any plant matter ?
I just bought that book on Spa Raw (have to wait for it to come) but, meanwhile, is there some place where I can read up on just what IS considered to be "Raw" ? It does seem odd that grains are not - how about Kasha (Buckwheat Groats) ? Technically, although most would call them a 'grain' they are 'scientifically' considered to be a FRUIT.
But, then too… most consider Tomatoes to be a vegetable, but 'scientifically' they are 'fruit'... as are a few other food items. Strawberries, for instance, technically are not 'fruit' - but, not to be picking nits, here.
I just need some clarifications, I guess. Soy Milk and Nut Butters too ? Aren't They ALL 'processed' and thus not 'raw' technically ?
If 'raw' only means 'not cooked' then don't oats qualify unless they are cooked ? Am I missing some distinctions here ? Tofu, I realize, IS rather heavily processed, for instance. But, then so are Nori SHEETS ! Even the Kombu I buy is,though to a lesser degree… Nori doesn't seem to me to be unprocessed and often it is roasted. I rarely see where it is NOT roasted, in fact… but, then, SLICING and then DEHYDRATING ? Isn't doing THAT technically PROCESSING ? Is something treated that way 'really' still RAW ???
Again, not trying to pick nits, nor argue, but just not 'clear' on some of the concepts, here. I mean, certainly using a blender and/or a food processor ? By the latters NAME alone, are we PROCESSING the food ? Is it therefore no longer 'raw' ??? Seems to me like some distinctions must be being made that I am not aware of/failing to grasp ?
I LOVE eating RAW and UNPROCESSED FOODS—corn, brocolli,and onions (for instance) all taste better/best to me AS THEY ARE GROWN, rather than after they have been cooked.
awww, the title of this thread takes me back to the good ole days…
Before I heard those words for the first time. 80.10.10. 80.10.10 OK nice, I'll keep that in mind. Then within' weeks it was like that new song on the radio that they play 90 times an hour. Now it's still there, more like a dripping faucet. drip drip fear drip drip fear worry drip avocados are the devil drip
ooops did I type this, I meant to only think it secretly in my head.
Lovebows, Chris
How perfect for halloween! I've been eating the devil all week. MMMM avocadevils. Yup I'm against 80-10-10. All I care about is raw food. No rules. Raw in any shape or form.
Chris – your excellent forum about the good ole days of raw food is worth a read! Check it out everyone. http://www.goneraw.com/forums/being-raw/topics/...
"Again, not trying to pick nits, nor argue, but just not 'clear' on some of the concepts, here. I mean, certainly using a blender and/or a food processor ?

Raw means the enzymes are still intact, not killed by heating over 115 degrees. So cutting, blending, processing, dehydrating at low temps, juices, still means the food is RAW by our definition.
Even animals use there teeth, claws, etc, to cut open and rip apart their food.
Thanks for the clarification, Rawcanadian !
Tree of Life was really addressing "Foods As Grown" more than "Raw" I guess. Maybe I confused the two ?
Olives allegedly MUST be given a bath in LYE before they can be made edible, so, clearly, they can NEVER be eaten "Raw" I guess ???
Oats usually aren't raw (even "raw" oat groats), because they're steamed when hulled. You can order really raw (i.e. unheated & sproutable) oats from www.sunorganic.com – just be sure to order the oats for sprouting. Kasha is roasted buckwheat, but the buckwheat groats are raw & will sprout.
Olives bathed in lye, huh? Even if it's true (I don't know), how does that make them not raw? Lye is what's left after soaking ashes in water, then draining the liquid (the liquid is the lye). It is an acid & cleans things (people used to make soap out of it). Other than that, I don't know much about it. I'm right now eating raw Greek olives that I bought from www.sunfood.com – kind of expensive, but a lovely treat!
Dear Angie
Well, again, this may be just because of my unfamiliarity with the terms and concepts involved - however, to ME, the word 'Raw' means UNPROCESSED. Not just merely cooked, or not. Cooking IS simply ONE PROCESS and there are many others.
Bathing an Olive in LYE most certainly CHANGES/ALTERS IT CHEMICALLY. It no longer has the same molecular structure, it is not 'as grown' by any stretch of the imagination —and, therefore, TO MY WAY OF THINKING it can no longer be TERMED as being in it 'original state' -- so, label that as 'not being pure' or 'raw' or what-have-you, to ME, it just is NOT the way that it NATURALLY OCCURS in Nature/is the way that a 'Greater Being' INTENDED IT TO BE.
Either that, or this same "Greater Being(s)" DID intend for us to ALTER how creations of his/her/it were devised. Since the usage of Olives and Olive Oil IS prevalent in many if not most of The Religious Works of the World, it seems likely that God/Gods/Goddesses DID intend for mankind to "Monkey Around With Olives For Our OWN Consumption" Since, again, Olives are simply NOT EDIBLE unless they ARE treated, chemically, and ALTERED from their 'Natural State.'
Again, not to be quibbling, and I apologize if I am simply misunderstanding the concepts undeflying the thinking going on, here… but. then, THAT is why I am discussing it, too… because I DON"T feel that I understand, fully, what is being presented here !
Raw, as a concept/term - does it ONLY mean 'cooked or not cooked' ??? Does it not have some meaning as to 'treated with CHEMICALS ? Seems to me that it DOES ! And/or GENETICALLY altered ? Lye, regardless of how it is obtained, is a VERY Strong Chemical, and it DISSOLVES Human Tissue !
To say that Lye,because of how it is derived, is somehow 'harmless' (or to imply that) is simply to ignore the true situation. There are an awful lot of highly toxic substances out there 'in there Pure/Raw state… just because something IS raw definitely doesn't mean that it can be eaten… least, not by a human being.
It is actually VERY INACCURATE to classify Lye as an ACID, by-the-way… it, in fact, is a BASE, which is basically the exact opposite of an Acid… but, that is another matter, entirely. I DO suggest that you try looking up the Processing Of Olives on the net… or, if you wish, I will try to, myself.
Olives as grown are NOT digestible.
Also, I have a simple experiment to suggest to you. Obtain a bone, preferably a Chicken Bone (because they tend to have a small diameter, thus allowing this experiment to come to a conclusion more rapidly than a thicker bone), from some source that DOES eat meat. Place it in a glass, and cover it with common household strength Vinegar (that would be 5% or less, typically). Let it sit for a day or two. Then remove the bone. You will find that it is now rubber-like ! It will bend and flex readilly, like soft plastic ! That is because THE ACID in the vinegar chemically alters it —basically, it disolves the Calcium. Try this at home, and you will get SOME IDEA of how Lye alters CHEMICALLY an Olive -- of course, Lye is NOT an Acid, as already clarified, nor is an Olive a bone… but, nonetheless, it will serve as a Lesson, by example, of how Lye DOES change the CHEMICAL STRUCTURE of an Olive.
Or, alternately, you could just allow Lye to DISSOLVE some Human Tissue, if you so wish !
Regardless, again, how can something so treated be considered to be RAW ??? TO Me, it can't…
Consider, further, Ceviche - that is where RAW fish/seafood is put into a mild Acidic Solution (Vinegar or Lemon Juice, usually) and it gets "Cooked" by the Chemical Action of the Acid 'bath.'
The texture and taste of the 'meat' is noticably altered by that 'bath.'
The taste, too, of course changes. It can no longer be considered to BE 'Raw' and, indeed, it is NOT in 'the common language.'
So, even if Lye WERE an Acid, wouldn't that STILL mean that Olives were NO LONGER "Raw" after being chemically altered by it ???
Do you not see the discrepancies here ???
I AM saying all this POLITELY, out of QUESTIONING, not out of trying to argue nor 'attack'- I make that 'disclaimer' lest my words be misunderstood, which can happen all too easily on the 'net…
LOVE, and with only Good Intentions

YORBA LINDA, Calif. -- A health-focused pizzeria here is taking what some may view as the daring step of printing on its menu the nutritional content of all its pizzas.
According to the Orange County Register, the menu at Fitness Pizza & Pasta lists each pizza's protein, carbohydrate, calorie and saturated fat content.
For more than a decade, federal regulations have mandated restaurant operators be able to provide full nutritional disclosure of all their food products when customers request it. But, as the report pointed out, putting such information right on the menu is unique.
The pizzeria, which, according to the report, serves California-style pizzas, also adds whole-wheat flour to its dough recipe.
Compared to white flour, whole-wheat is lower in carbohydrates, and viewed by some as more healthful. But according to the American Institute of Baking, when whole-wheat flour makes up more than 30 percent of the total flour content in a dough recipe, the baked crust can become brittle.

HAMPTON -- A police report reveals new information about a fatal crash in Hampton that took the life of a Virginia Beach teen earlier this month.
Briana Luckenbill, 18, was killed in a six-car crash on I-64 on March 8. Troopers believe Luckenbill was a passenger in a car that was street racing.
According to the report, State Police had responded to another crash on I-64, which caused traffic to come to a stop on the highway.
'Because it was going down to one lane, traffic was super congested, because people were waiting until the last minute to merge. I had to hit my breaks kind of hard to make the stop in time,' driver Andrew Drapkin told 13News Now Wednesday.
Drapkin said it was hard for him to stop for backed-up traffic having just come over a hill.
'I was going 55 and I had to break kind of hard,' said Drapkin. 'I was at a complete stop and I looked in the rear view mirror and I just see headlights coming up the shoulder, and then the next thing I know, my car got hit.'
Drapkin was rear-ended in the crash.
Initially, Luckenbill's mother thought street racing may have played a part in the crash. Others disputed those claims on Facebook.
Although police reports show the car Luckenbill was riding in was speeding, Drapkin said he doesn't think that's what caused the accident.
'It definitely had more to do with the fact that it was backed up and right over a hill, rather than the fact that anybody may or may not have been racing,' said Drapkin.
State Police said once their investigation is complete they will release information about whether or not charges will be filed.

Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie (September 9, 1941 – c. October 12, 2011)[2][3][4][5] was an American computer scientist.[2] He created the C programming language and, with long-time colleague Ken Thompson, the Unix operating system.[2] Ritchie and Thompson received the Turing Award from the ACM in 1983, the Hamming Medal from the IEEE in 1990 and the National Medal of Technology from President Clinton in 1999. Ritchie was the head of Lucent Technologies System Software Research Department when he retired in 2007. He was the "R" in K&R C and commonly known by his username dmr.
Personal life[edit]
Ritchie was born in Bronxville, New York. His father was Alistair E. Ritchie, a longtime Bell Labs scientist and co-author of The Design of Switching Circuits on switching circuit theory. He moved with his family to Summit, New Jersey, as a child, where he graduated from Summit High School.[6] He graduated from Harvard University with degrees in physics and applied mathematics.
In 1967, Ritchie began working at the Bell Labs Computing Sciences Research Center, and in 1968, he defended his PhD thesis on "Program Structure and Computational Complexity" at Harvard under the supervision of Patrick C. Fischer. However, Ritchie never officially received his PhD degree.[7]
Ritchie was best known as the creator of the C programming language, a key developer of the Unix operating system, and co-author of the book The C Programming Language, and was the 'R' in K&R (a common reference to the book's authors Kernighan and Ritchie). Ritchie worked together with Ken Thompson, the scientist credited with writing the original Unix; one of Ritchie's most important contributions to Unix was its porting to different machines and platforms.[8] They were so influential on Research Unix that Doug McIlroy later wrote, "The names of Ritchie and Thompson may safely be assumed to be attached to almost everything not otherwise attributed."[9]
The C language is widely used today in application, operating system, and embedded system development, and its influence is seen in most modern programming languages. Unix has also been influential, establishing concepts and principles that are now precepts of computing.
Views on computing[edit]
In an interview from 1999, Dennis Ritchie clarifies that he sees Linux and BSD operating systems as a continuation of the basis of the Unix operating system, and as derivatives of Unix:[10]
I think the Linux phenomenon is quite delightful, because it draws so strongly on the basis that Unix provided. Linux seems to be among the healthiest of the direct Unix derivatives, though there are also the various BSD systems as well as the more official offerings from the workstation and mainframe manufacturers.
In the same interview, he states that he views both Unix and Linux as "the continuation of ideas that were started by Ken and me and many others, many years ago."[10]
In 1983, Ritchie and Thompson received the Turing Award for their development of generic operating systems theory and specifically for the implementation of the UNIX operating system. Ritchie's Turing Award lecture was titled "Reflections on Software Research".[11] In 1990, both Ritchie and Thompson received the IEEE Richard W. Hamming Medal from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), "for the origination of the UNIX operating system and the C programming language".[12]
In 1997, both Ritchie and Thompson were made Fellows of the Computer History Museum, "for co-creation of the UNIX operating system, and for development of the C programming language."[13]
On April 21, 1999, Thompson and Ritchie jointly received the National Medal of Technology of 1998 from President Bill Clinton for co-inventing the UNIX operating system and the C programming language which, according to the citation for the medal, "led to enormous advances in computer hardware, software, and networking systems and stimulated growth of an entire industry, thereby enhancing American leadership in the Information Age".[14][15]
In 2005, the Industrial Research Institute awarded Ritchie with its Achievement Award in recognition of his contribution to science and technology, and to society generally, with his development of the Unix operating system.[16]
In 2011, Ritchie, along with Thompson, was awarded the Japan Prize for Information and Communications for his work in the development of the Unix operating system.[17]
Death and legacy[edit]
Ritchie was found dead on October 12, 2011, at the age of 70 at his home in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey, where he lived alone.[2] First news of his death came from his former colleague, Rob Pike.[3][4] The cause and exact time of death have not been disclosed.[18] He had been in frail health for several years following treatment for prostate cancer and heart disease.[2][3][19][20] His death came a week after the death of Steve Jobs but did not receive as much media coverage.[21][22][23] Following Ritchie's death, computer historian Paul E. Ceruzzi stated:[24]
Ritchie was under the radar. His name was not a household name at all, but... if you had a microscope and could look in a computer, you'd see his work everywhere inside.
In an interview shortly after Ritchie's death, long time colleague Brian Kernighan said Ritchie never expected C to be so significant.[25] Kernighan reminded readers of how important a role C and UNIX had played in the development of later high-profile projects, like the iPhone.[26][27]
Other testimonials to his influence followed.[28][29][30][31]
The Fedora 16 Linux distribution, which was released about a month after he died, was dedicated to his memory.[32] FreeBSD 9.0, released January 12, 2012 was also dedicated in his memory.[33]
Ritchie engaged in conversation in a chalet in the mountains surrounding Salt Lake City at the 1984 Usenix conference.
Notable work[edit]
- C (programming language) on which many currently used languages and technologies are based.
- Unix a multiuser operating system. Several workalikes (commonly referred to as Unix-like systems) have been developed based on Unix's design. Some of these follow POSIX standards, again based on Unix.

NOW that digital devices are fashion items, it is easy to forget what really accounts for their near-magical properties.

Four decades ago, Ken Thompson, the late Dennis Ritchie, and others at AT&T's Bell Laboratories developed Unix, which turned out to be one of the most influential pieces of software ever written. Their work on this operating system had to be done on the sly, though, because their employer had recently backed away from operating-systems research.

Use of the Natural Tooth for Soft Tissue Development: A Case Series
Marius Steigmann, DDS/Jason Cooke, DDS/Hom-Lay Wang, DDS, MSD
DOI: 10.11607/prd.00.0777
The achievement of optimal esthetics around anterior dental implants has been a major challenge for many clinicians. The key to an esthetically pleasing appearance lies in the clinician's ability to properly manage the soft tissue profile around dental implants. Hence, the purpose of this case report is to describe a new technique that uses the patient's own natural tooth for the provisional implant restoration to develop soft tissue architecture that is almost identical to the patient's original immediately after tooth extraction. Ten consecutively treated patients were included in this series. Clinical measurements included soft tissue height, papilla appearance, and probing pocket depths. Other parameters such as radiographic bone levels and quality-of-life ratings were also recorded. Results from this study showed that all patients achieved a normal or Class 1 papilla appearance similar to the original appearance of the natural tooth. All patients were very happy with the treatment outcome. This newly suggested approach for restoring an anterior implant can be valuable and esthetically pleasing. (Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent 2007;27:603–608.)

FSU President Gibralter Withdraws Himself from Contention for Presidential Searches
"While I was honored to be nominated for these positions, I just feel in my heart that this would not be a good time to leave Frostburg State University. We are in the midst of implementing our new strategic plan, and we're just beginning a market research study and branding process. There's a lot yet to be accomplished here, and I don't want to disrupt this University," Gibralter said.
Gibralter notified the campus community of his decision after he informed officials at the two universities.
"I want you all to know that I truly love this university, and I face the coming years with the same level of commitment I have had since the day I first arrived," he said in his email to campus.

I'm good, just tired from chardonnay and giving hand jobs.
You must be Logged in to post a comment
Wonder if she/he has a "Popeye" arm...... If so, count me in, I'm in Baltimore.
Chardonnay only pairs well with pussy, not with cock.
really, what's the point of giving a handjob? he can always do it better for himself than you. woman up. suck it!
This is Maryland in a nut shell.. I love it.
why so you can bang out all the grama sluts that moved down there from maryland
SUBLIME! every time i hear about a handjob all i can think of "and then she pulled out my mushroom tip... when it came out it went drip drip drip i didnt know she had that GI joe kung fu grip. and UHHH and the girl caressed me down... sorry. /end song.
And when it came out it went drip, drip, drip I didn't know she had that GI joe, kung foo grip.... Really though, get your mouth down there for christs sake, they can stroke themselves off. They can't suck it. At least...most likely.
im tired tooo ! more like of coronas and hj , i gotta work myself up to bjs
1:41 hahaha epic this is awesome
That could interfere with the ambiance and taste of the fine box-o-wine Chardonnay.
BALTIMORE!!! keepin' it classy.
I grew up in MD...and 90% of the females there were sluts. Still are... That's why I moved to FL!!
sounds more like a reason not to move.
Chardonnay and handjobs? Are we in 8th grade?
keep it classy md :)
Use your mouth instead.
12:12 thats why i never moved

Run a program under a psuedo terminal. This is used by run_init to run actually run the program after setting up the proper context. This program acquires a new Psuedo terminal, forks a child process that binds to the psueado terminal, and then sits around and connects the physical terminal it was invoked upon with the pseudo terminal, passing keyboard input into to the child process, and passing the output of the child process to the physical terminal.
It sets up the pseudo terminal properly based on the physical terminal attributes, and then sets the user's terminal to RAW mode, taking care to reset it on exit.

Over 100,000 Happy Customers Of course we think we are good, but don't take our word for it! See what our customers have to say about HappyBalls.com
To Whom It May Concern, Hello, I just wanted to say thank you for the fast service that I received on the antenna toppers that I ordered, what great service and i just wanted to let someone know about it. i ordered some antenna toppers from another company a few weeks ago, i never received my order, i emailed them and called them and never received a response back, they charged my credit card without sending my merchandise, i had to call my credit card and tell them what happened, they said they would credit my account. I wish I had found your website before them, they are very inconsiderate and i will never order from them again, but I will order from happyballs.com from now on. Thanks again, and i will be ordering more antenna toppers soon! have a happy day!! :-) happy customer, Norma Nanette, again your order arrived in 2 days. Your company is the only one that ships so quickly. I was able to put the Easter Bunny on the car yesterday. I thought I'd already had one & Easter was so early this year, it kinda caught me off guard, but you came thru as usual. A BIG THANK YOU! Wendie B. USA
I am VERY happy with your service, as my Happy balls arrived IN TIME for christmas !!! I didn't think that such a quick delivery is possible, and finally my friend who received the balls as a present, was very , was very happy :-)
So I say a big thank you to the "Happy ball – family". Frauke Switzerland I wanted to say how happy I was with the service from Happy Balls. Of all the ordering I did over the holidays, yours was the most hassle-free! Thank you for good customer service :) BONNIE El Cajon, CA USA I was very happy with my order! Shipping was prompt and everything came just as described. I got one for every member of my family and they were the hit of our Christmas morning. Thanks so much! AMY Buffalo, NY USA This order was waiting in my mailbox when I got home last night! I'd only placed the order on Monday. Nothing else has come that quickly especially at this time of year. Since one of the items was the Santa Smiley Face we wanted for the Christmas season, your speed is doubly appreciated. I'm glad I discovered you. Thank you & have a Merry Christmas & Happy & Safe New Year. WENDY Chicago, USA I loved all the antennae balls I purchased – especially the Bozo the Clown one. You have a great selection and I have given them as gifts and I'm very impressed on how quickly you receive the merchandise after purchasing. Sharon CANADA
Nanette is the best! I vote her best sales rep of the the millenium!I have found her to be extremely helpful & I am impressed with her consistently good humored & professional attitude. She has gone out of her way to make sure I receive prompt service. What a nice person. You're lucky to have her on your team. Give that woman a raise! Joanne Arizona, USA
I love your web site, because of two reasons. First, your company does not carry just the "ball" toppers, which I find most boring. Coolballs, the first site I visited, left me uninspired. It is obvious to me that you have a blast with your company, and it shows. I got my first newsletter a couple of days ago, and your enthusiasm sure came through. I look for unconventional toppers, things that will make people come up and talk about them. The site itself is visually superb. The pics are very sharp, well organized, and I am actually disappointed when I click "next", and find I have reached the end. I just discovered toppers about a month and a half ago, and have to admit I am addicted. I searched 700 sites in one night. Yours is the one I bookmarked and go to. I love to rotate the antenna balls, and keep the neighbors guessing. When I called I spoke to Nanette....what a pleasant woman!! :-) Thanks again! Nancy Ohio, USA
I wanted to thank you for a very pleasant experience with shopping online for some antenna balls that are hard to find here in Canada. Even though your site is obviously based in the US, I had very little problems with the order, other than the wait time (of course I was impatient to get the new toys!). Many of the items I purchased will be gifts to friends and family, and it's nice to know your company carries these and I will be back to shop when I next am looking for a different and unique antenna ball. Thank you again! Sue Coquitlam, BC
I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR THE PROMTNESS IN WHICH MY ORDER WAS SENT TO ME!! I RECEIVED MY ORDER A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, AND WAS SURPRISED HOW QUICKLY I GOT IT. I WILL BE GIVING THOSE OUT AS GIFTS AND MIGHT ORDER MORE TO SAVE FOR STOCKING STUFFERS FOR CHRISTMAS. Thank you!! Suzi Oregon, USA
I just want to add a special thanks for the way HappyBalls does business, and to let you know that I really appreciate the good customer service I've received, friendly emails and quick shipping. I have purchased from several other antenna topper sites and have been very unhappy with their lack of customer service after sending out a missing or incorrect order. HappyBalls is by far superior to any competitor! I've been extremely happy with all my transactions through HappyBalls and very happy with the quality of the antenna balls I have received. I truly appreciate the professionalism and reliability of this company! Thanks so much. Colleen California, USA
I wish that all Internet companies would show the kind of service that your company exudes! My order was shipped promptly and it was correct, that alone was enough to make me happy! However, your e-mail follow up is far above and beyond customer service. I commend your company for it's dedication to the customer, and will recommend your site to anyone! I have already told numerous friends about Happyballs.com and a couple have already received their orders.
Keep up the phenomenal work! Brian Wyoming, USA
Absolutely loved the Happy Balls I ordered! Thanks so much! I am definitely going to turn my co-worker and friends on to your site.
Thank you, Thank you!! Lisa Connecticut, USA

I just had to write to thank all of you at happy balls for my recent order.

Thank you all so much. My husband was thrilled. He has a "76" vette that he decorates with the happy balls. Have a great day, you made mine. Jill

LJWorld.com weblogs Rolling along
The REAL Lance Effect
A couple of my friends have approached me recently, asking what I make of "this Lance mess."
I usually reply with, "Well, Arthur's a sap, but I don't care how cute Gwen is, you can't back-stab your bestie like that."
Yeah, I don't have a lot of friends.
And while my reply might seem to carry a hint of smart-aleckery, in truth I mean it as a poignant, thoughtful social commentary that lying, cheating Lances go back at least as far as Arthurian times.
In truth, however, I'm worried about the fallout from this century's Lance malfeasance.
I'm speaking, of course, about former cyclist Lance Armstrong, who appeared on a talk show recently — I believe it was Maury, or perhaps Judge Judy — and admitted to cheating on his taxes, or somesuch. I didn't really see it, nor did I have any interest in it.
I have about as much interest in professional bike racing as I have skill in it, which is to say, slightly less than none. I recall one year I tuned into several stages of the Tour de France and was rather impressed with the pretty scenery and lovely fans and that funny fat guy who dresses up like a pitchfork-wielding devil and chases cyclists up nearly vertical ascents, but you can only see so many shots of cows in sunflower fields and funny fat guys in devil suits before you feel compelled to surf on over to Maury and his latest episode of, "I'm my baby's daddy and grandfather. And uncle. And sister."
Throw in the fact that you have to go back to something like 1492 before you can find a Tour champion who hasn't had to vacate his championship because of some performance enhancement of some sort, and, well, it becomes wearisome.
Which brings us to the Lance Effect.
Back when Armstrong was pumping his body full of illegal, dangerous drugs to get an unfair advantage over all the other illegally doped-up cyclists in the pro ranks — sorry; I mean, back when he was winning his seven Tour titles — interest in cycling surged nationally. Something like .00000125 percent of the population had heard of him, and at least half that many people admitted to having seen a bike at one point in their lives. This huge surge was referred to as the Lance Effect.
Now that his name has been dragged through the heaps of discarded needles and stadiums have been stripping that name — or that of his cancer-fighting charity, Livestrong — off their marquees and folks have been burning their yellow Livestrong bracelets, and cycling again is being relegated to the fringe (just kidding; it's never been anywhere but), there's a new Lance Effect that worries me.
I'm referring, of course, to the insipid way noncyclists — usually upset motorists, or folks hanging out on their front porches — liked to bellow catchy phrases like, "Way to go Lance!" or "Pedal faster, Lance!" or, my personal favorite, "Get out of the #&%ing road, Lance!" at cyclists who bear no resemblance to his Lanceness.
My fear is, what clever sobriquet will take Lance's place in the noncyclist bellower's vernacular?
I'd have to guess the second-most-famous American cyclist after Sir Dopesalot would have to be … Pee-wee Herman, who pedaled his way though a movie in search of his beloved stolen bike. Then he got busted in real life for, ahem, indiscretions with himself in an adult theater, and the charm of the childlike actor lost its luster.
But that movie was eons ago, and I'm afraid there's a whole generation of bike bellowers who have no idea who Pee-wee was.
I guess those who feel the need to address us will have to resort to the tried and true. After Lance, the most popular nicknames for cyclists include various and sundry bodily orifices, several variations — the gerund, and a laundry list of prefixes and suffixes — of the root word for what happens when a man and a woman love each other very, very much, and, for some reason, questions about sexual preferences.
Or maybe they'll fall back to the first — and, now that Youknowwho has been wiped off the rolls, last — American winner of the Tour.
Maybe next time out I can look forward to hearing, "Get out of the $*%ing road, Greg."

Piedmont Technical College is expanding its computer technology offerings in Laurens County with the addition of the PC Technician certificate program. The new class is designed to introduce students to computer technology program.
"This is a certificate we have offered on the Greenwood campus for several years and now we are expanding our offerings to the Laurens center this fall," said Lesley Price, computer technology department head.
In an ongoing effort to push more full programs out to the counties surrounding Greenwood, Piedmont Technical College now offers the full Journeyman Welding Certificate in Laurens County.
Registration is now open for the upcoming fall term, which begins on August 24.
This offering has been made possible through an ongoing partnership with Laurens District 55.
Piedmont Technical College students who had outstanding academic accomplishments during the 2011 spring semester have earned inclusion on the President's List. To be named to the list, students must be full-time and earn a term GPA of 4.00. Students will receive a certificate of achievement signed by the college president.
At Piedmont Technical College's recent summer commencement exercises, outstanding students from each of the college's seven supporting counties were honored for academic achievement.
Students at Piedmont Technical College recently headed back to class. Interested students still have time to enroll for Late Term, which begins September 27.
Medical assisting student Tammy Roberts from Abbeville, left, checks out at the bookstore with the help of Whitney Nicholson, a surgical technology student from Bradley.
Students at Piedmont Technical College were treated to a Fall Kick-off and Club Fair Wednesday. Organizations and clubs on campus provided information to students during the fall kick-off as well as provided a free hot dog lunch. The annual event welcomes students back to class and introduces them to the clubs and organizations available on campus.
Piedmont Technical College now provides public computer labs at all locations in all seven of the counties it serves. The labs are staffed by knowledgeable personnel who are available to help computer users. These labs are available through the $437,000 grant Piedmont Tech received with the SC Technical College System, as part of a grant for $5.9M by the US Department of Commerce – National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).
Piedmont Technical College is offering three certificates that will open doors for students to seek entry-level employment in manufacturing in Laurens County.
The QuickSkills program offers three different concentrations: Manufacturing Assembly Operator, Quality Assurance Technician, and CNC Operations. The coursework will be offered at the newly operational PTC Center for Advanced Manufacturing (CAM) in Laurens County.
Eleven new members were recently inducted into the Tau Alpha Pi National Honor Society at Piedmont Technical College. Tau Alpha Pi is the national honor society for engineering technology, just as Phi Beta Kappa is for liberal arts and Tau Beta Pi is for engineering. Founded in 1953 and managed for more than 30 years by engineering technology educator Frederick J.
After a record-setting fall enrollment, officials at PTC are looking forward to a good turnout this spring as the VIP registration period draws near.
Registration for the spring term begins November 1 and runs through November 30. Students who register during this period become "VIPs" and receive their first choice of classes and a $25 registration fee waiver.

FRISCO Frisco is on a federal list list of 17 places in the country with too much lead in the air.
The problem is the Exide Technologies battery recycling plant that is right in the heart of the city.
The news had been expected, but regulators say fewer homes and businesses are impacted than first thought.
The Environmental Protection Agency designated a 1.3 square mile area where Exide's lead emissions are too high. That's actually reduced from the previous 2.4 square mile impact zone.
It's not the most pleasant thing to go through, but it's something we have to work through and get it solved, said Frisco City Manager George Purefoy. I think we're well on our way to getting it solved.
The city is taking Exide up on its offer to test all Frisco residents for lead contamination.
In the meantime, the company is installing new equipment at the plant designed to reduce lead emissions. Exide has until the end of 2015 to comply with the more stringent regulations.

This study explores the origin of concentrations of small fossil bones and teeth preserved in (1) pond/lake and (2) active channel deposits in the Judith River Formation of Montana. Vertebrate fossils recovered from both types of assemblages are similar in shape and rounding, but channel concentrations are better sorted. In flume experiments, bone concentrations formed when an active flow was directed through sediment beds with initially dispersed bone material. The coarse bone fraction was minimally transported, while the fine fraction was winnowed to distal parts of the flume. These results suggest channel assemblages may be derived from pre-existing pond/lake assemblages.

Saturday was my fifteenth birthday, which is odd because I don't feel fifteen at all! I had an incredible time; I got a facial and mani-pedi with my sister, then got a hair cut (which will be in pictures soon, you'll have to wait and see what it looks like). I wanted to share some of my favorite gifts that I was given, and here they are! xo Ella
Beautiful pink tulips, that I absolutely love waking up to in the morning.
A red-orange Kate Spade iPhone case.
Socks my grandma knit for me (sweet, huh?) that I think are very Missoni-esque.
Three super comfortable cardigans from Jcrew that I will most likely be wearing every day for the rest of the year.
A gorgeous jewelry box that I'd been dreaming about for a lloonngg time.
Bloomers and a Bear
Presenting my latest sewing project; pajamas! I found this fabulous vintage pattern on Etsy, paired it with some floral fabric, and whipped up a top and bloomers. As you can see from the pattern cover, there are two other versions of the pajamas to make. I might have to make another pair, the puff sleeves are very cute!
If you're a sewer or an aspiring sewer and would like to make your own pair of bloomers, I found a great free pattern from a company called Colette. Though I don't own any of their patterns (yet), I've seen images of them online and they are quite lovely! You can find their website
and the free bloomer pattern
. xo Ella
Sealed With Kisses
I took a soap making class a couple of weeks ago, and I went home with a humungous amount of it. Since I knew I wouldn't be able to use all the soap for myself, I decided to send it to family as a Valentine's Day gift.
The soap is made with lavender oil, and chamomile buds are mixed in. The fabric I wrapped it in is an old cut up tablecloth that I stamped lips on with a rubber stamp and pink acrylic paint. Finally, I topped it off with red ribbon and a hand written tag.
A New Use for Belts
Makeup Bag
Today I took a makeup bag sewing class at the Urban Craft Center, and this is what I made! I bought the fabric at F&S and I'm a bit obsessed with it. I think it has a great vintage look, and the beautiful floral print is made up of such pretty colors. I can't wait to use it, it will be great to keep all my makeup in it when I stay at friends' houses.
Knit Hobo Hat
I knit this hat over the weekend, in the span of about a day and a half. I've become a very avid knitter, and the craft really fits me well. I get very jitsy a lot and need to have my hands occupied with something, so it's a perfect craft for me. For instance, while making this hat, instead of watching countless episodes of The Nanny (my new favorite show of all time) while sitting on the couch and doing nothing but staring at a moving picture, I made use of the time and knit while having Niles crack me up as always. xo Ella
A while ago, after looking at my blog, my friend Katie from sleep away camp asked me to make her a headband. So I took some floral scrap fabric from an old sewing project, and whipped it into a headband.
I braided the part that goes around the head, and it came out all fringed and messy, which I was really happy with. To finish it, I added a flower, that I learned how to make from a YouTube video (that I can't find, which is why I'm not posting a link to it).
Happy Super Bowl Sunday, or in my case Finals Studying and Glee Sunday! xo Ella
P.S. The girl pictured is Katie, not moi.

That's not to say the newer technology isn't a good thing, the question is 'just how much of a difference does it really make?'
Are you talking from actual experience or just observation?
I am 46 years old, have ridden quite a few different bikes over the last 37 years, and have tried different types of riding, motocross, flat track road bikes etc... In my experience, I felt that I reached my prime in terms of riding ability during my late teens thru mid thirties. Although injuries over the years hampered me during the later years, I also experienced in improvement in riding ability, which I attribute not to experience but to better technology.
I have probably owned 50 different rode bikes in my lifetime and ridden maybe 100; including an 75 KR750 Kawasaki race bike, an 89 Bimota YB6 and the typical Norton Commando production racer to name a few. Currently I own 4 road bikes. The oldest being a 69 CB750 the newest a 05 GSXR1000. If I recall the H2R, it was a pretty fast and nimble bike. In comparison to the GSXR1000, although there is a significant horsepower, powerband and weight difference the KR750 has the same top speed as my GSXR1000. However its requires a completely different style of riding. If you cant break the rear wheel loose in a corner, then you cant ride it to its limits. The problem here is obvious as it is more prone to high siding. I dont care how good of a rider you are; once you are high siding your chances of recovery are very low although it can be done. I can personally attest to that.

As for this console though, you could have placed any number of better consoles in its place. Sure it can distract someone for a split second but if they are any good they will have your decoy unlocked or shredded in the blink of an eye and be back on you before you can say: "OMGWTFBBQ!"
Also anything that ignores direct targeting, FAW, Point Defense (Either of them), Lotus, Tractor Repulsers, Spread, Scatter Volley, Warp Plasma, etc... Will still rip you apart and will do so much faster once you hit this console.
As for the Emissions Seeking Torp... Oh man... That is another piece of utter garbage... I have lived through that on my B'rel so apparently it is so weak that it is not even worth considering. The most fun I ever had with that though was watching someone hit my Bortasqu' with it! LOL!... A few seconds later and they were space dust but even THEY admitted to me in a PM that seeing THAT decloak scared them LOL. It is like throwing a stone and hitting a Dragon in the head when you were after a sparrow.

2012 hasn't disappointed on the music tip. Whether it's rappers like Schoolboy Q and Meek Mill spitting that audio crack, bands like The Shins and Best Coast letting it rip, or big-name vets like Usher and Fiona Apple singing their hearts out, the first six months of this year have held all our iPods down with plenty of that new-new.
While we wait for the rest of '12 to unfold with more heat from Rick Ross and Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music family—among all the other highly anticipated albums—on deck, let's take a walk back through the best so far.
