Composite fillings
Composite fillings are strong, but may not be as hard wearing as amalgam fillings. Composite fillings are tooth colored and are made from powdered glass quartz, silica or other ceramic particles added to a resin base. After the tooth is prepared, the filling is bonded onto the area and a light shone onto it to set it. The dentist will choose a shade to match your existing teeth, although over time staining can occur.
ProcedureYour dentist will give you a local anesthetic to numb the area. The dentist then prepares an access to the decayed area of the tooth and removes the decay and previously placed filling material. With a composite filling, your dentist will preserve more of the natural tooth as the composite resin can be bonded to the tooth in thin layers. If your tooth's decayed area is close to a nerve, a special liner will be used to protect the nerve.
A special dental material is then used to open up the pores of your tooth's dentin and roughens up the surface of the exposed enamel. This achieves better and stronger bond. The bond resin is applied to stick the composite to your tooth. This material is made of the same dental resin as the composite however it is much more fluid. This layer is then hardened and cured with a very bright light.
Composite resin fillings are applied in thin layers, and slowly built up to form the complete filling. A bright dental light will harden each layer before the next is applied.
Once your filling is placed, your dentist will use a special paper to mark where the new filling is hitting too much. This is called being "high". The dentist then adjusts the new filling so all your teeth come together properly. Your new composite filling is then polished.
DurabilityComposite, resin or white fillings have been around for about two decades. Composite fillings have the advantage of requiring a more "conservative" tooth preparation (e.g., less drilling required); can have a strengthening effect on the tooth; are very aesthetic; and virtually blend in with the tooth. Composite fillings are the material of choice for repairing the front teeth. On the down side, they are more technique sensitive for the dentist to place and require more time resulting in more expense.
These resins typically last from 5-12 years before they begin to chip and wear away. When this happens, the restoration will need to be replaced.

A sealant is a protective, plastic material that is placed directly on the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars. Sealants protect tooth enamel from erosion and drastically reduce the occurrence of tooth decay.
Teeth are prepared for sealants with a thorough cleaning, followed by the application of a specialized dental solution. This solution roughens the chewing surfaces, making it easier for the sealants to adhere to the teeth. The sealants are then painted on the chewing surfaces of the teeth and a curing light is used to harden the sealants.
As long as the teeth receive regular care, sealants can last several years before requiring a reapplication.

dental bridge
A dental bridge is one method used to replace one or more missing teeth in the patient's mouth. The teeth on either side of where a tooth is missing are prepared so there is room for the bridge to be placed and permanently cemented to them. The bridge may be made of semiprecious metals with porcelain baked to it to match the remaining teeth. Or it may be constructed entirely of porcelain for a very esthetic result!
How is dental bridge accomplished?Your dentist will prepare your teeth on either side of the space for placement of the bridge. You will be given a mild anesthetic to numb the area, and the dentist will remove tooth structure from each abutment (teeth on either side of the space) to accommodate for the thickness of the bridge. When these teeth already have fillings, part of the filling may be left in place to help as a foundation for the bridge.The dentist will then make an impression, which will serve as the model from which the bridge will be made by a dental laboratory. A temporary bridge will be placed for you to wear while your bridge is being made until your next visit. This temporary bridge will serve to protect your teeth and gums and prevent the teeth that support the bridge from moving.
On your second appointment, the temporary bridge will be removed. Your new permanent bridge will be fitted and checked and adjusted for any bite discrepancies. Your new bridge will then be cemented to your teeth.
Bridges can also be for Aesthetics
Before treatment the patient has a retruded upper teeth
Ater the treatment the Patients Bite is already normal

Root canal treatment
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is probably the most maligned of all dental procedures, but the reputation of pain typically associated with "having a root canal" is really not deserved. For the majority of people who will undergo root canal treatment the process itself will be no more involved than having a filling placed. Your dentist uses x-rays and several tests to determine if a tooth requires a root canal, and to find out which tooth is the problem. A root canal involves the removal of the soft tissue that fills the pulp canal in the center of the tooth. He then cleans and enlarges the space. Finally, he fills the canal with an inert material that seals the tooth and enables the patient to retain a dead tooth. After the root canal, the tooth must be properly restored. It is very weak at this point. Usually, a cap or crown is required.
What does treatment involve?
Treatment often involves from one to three visits. During treatment, your dentist removes the diseased pulp. The pulp chamber and root canal(s) of the tooth are then cleaned and sealed.
Here's how your tooth is saved through treatment:
1. First, an opening is made through the crown of the tooth.
2. An opening is made through the crown of the tooth into the pulp chamber.
3. The pulp is then removed. The canal(s) is cleaned and shaped to a form that can be filled.
4. The pulp is removed, and the root canals are cleaned, enlarged and shaped.
5. Medications may be put in the pulp chamber and root canal(s) to help get rid of germs and prevent infection.
6. A temporary filling will be placed in the crown opening to protect the tooth between dental visits. Your dentist may leave the tooth open for a few days to drain. You might also be given medicine to help control infection that may have spread beyond the tooth.
7. The pulp chamber and root canals are filled and sealed.
8. The temporary filling is removed and the pulp chamber and root canal(s) are cleaned and filled.
9. In the final step, a gold or porcelain crown is usually placed over the tooth. If an endodontist performs the treatment, he or she will recommend that you return to your family dentist for this final step.
How long will the restored tooth last?
Your restored tooth could last a lifetime, if you continue to care for your teeth and gums. However, regular checkups are necessary. As long as the root(s) of a treated tooth are nourished by the tissues around it, your tooth will remain healthy.

We had an early dinner after a day of doctors appointments. The service was fantastic and we enjoyed the food very much! It was a good find, and we will likely return the next time we are in the city!

I had the shrimp with coconut dish, which smelled delicious but had no flavor. The dish was very salty. There was nothing exceptional about the food and my bland shrimp with rice and spinach were not worth $25. I live in the neighborhood I would not go back.

With so many delivery options in NY, why order from a restaurant that can't get it right. Suffice it to say it took a looooong time to arrive, we were given different answers each time we called (he already left, he's leaving now, he left 10 minutes ago, he left five minutes ago) and the food was ice cold when it finally arrived. Maybe the restaurant is better but don't bother with delivery.

A charming neighborhood restaurant. I've traveled a lot to Brazil and the food is very good, BUT overpriced. Uneven service, we were served by three different people. We had to ask for the $25.95 prix fixe menu, not brought automatically. Otherwise, entrees are about $25.00 average. We had two caipirinhas at $7. (early bird) Two Sauvignon Blancs (the only early bird white wine is Vinho Verde) for $10.00 each, and two prix-fixes. Our total after tax was $93.52. A couple next to us asked about white wines and were never even mentioned the Vinho Verde early bird for $6.00. I have mixed feelings whether or not to return.

I'm brazilian and just recently found out this place when a gf ordered dinner there. After that, I've ordered 3 times already... love it. They really cook like in my country (great seazoning) and even it was delivered, I enjoyed very much everything. Small portions and overpriced, but while I don't go to Brazil, it's good to be able to enjoy the brazilian flavors in NYC. My american bf also loved the food.

Vilner updates the Mercedes SLS AMG
Minor tweaks for a popular model
The Mercedes SLS AMG has always been one of the more luxurious supercars, but that hasn't stopped Vilner from trying to spruce up the model's interior.
Apparently built for a customer named Sergey Kries, the SLS has been outfitted with a leather and Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel as well as a leather-covered storage pocket between the seats.
While the styling changes are minor, the car has also been equipped with a bespoke trunk that features two-tone Alcantara upholstery and an embroidered AMG badge.

"Reconstructing YOU from the inside out!"
Raised in New York City, I attended catholic school from grades 5 to 12. I was "disconnected" from spirituality because of dogmatic beliefs but later reacquainted with clairvoyant gifts as an adult.
Welcome to Intuitive Soul Therapy with Dana Marie.
I am Dana Marie, a gifted spirit messenger experienced for many years in relationship issues, revealing soul mates, past lives, dream interpretation, career development and personal growth.
Demonstrating uncanny perception and vivid insights since early childhood in the South Bronx, my natural ability of contacting ethereal presence blossomed into coexistence between physical planes and astral dimensions. An insatiable appetite for knowledge launched an adulthood journey into metaphysics, amplifying sensitivity to vibrations, frequencies and energies. By starting with intuitive tarot by way of esoteric symbols, colors and definitions, birth numbers and spirit communication were later integrated to enhance clairvoyance. I'm currently pursuing a metaphysical science degree from University of Sedona's distance learning program. For 2 decades, my understanding of universal laws became the objective to assist clients worldwide.
As a trusted counselor with precise vision, I analyze karmic patterns and soul reasons behind past influences, present situations and future probabilities. Detailed intuitive guidance is essential to create and sustain positive outcomes according to best interests and the highest good. Devoted attention to matters of the heart effectively transforms constraining obstacles into boundless opportunities, renewed optimism and unlimited potential. Although predictions are never etched in stone because of freewill choices, I provide the necessary tools to help you choose paths for increasing awareness and revealing the unexpected.
How do I define my spiritual outlook? Past experiences with organized religion made me realize that a limited belief system was not a part of my spiritual path and development. Truly comprehending universal principles is more important than dogmatic views. I do believe that through an ever-present spirit, we all have gifts, abilities and willingness to do good through creative expression. Because we are spiritual beings, it contradicts divine nature to persecute, insult or exclude beliefs and faiths.
If our way of living does not come from a place of love, peace, compassion, and wisdom, cosmic harmony fails to exist. By connecting with the higher consciousness, one becomes fully aware of well-being. Furthermore, divination is simply an instrument that cannot produce any spirit on its own ("evil" or otherwise). It is actually the person -- not the tool -- who can help or harm another.
I conduct private readings by phone, via Internet and face-to-face for existing clients within the NYC metro area. In addition, I'm available for weddings, graduations, adult birthdays, showers, fundraisers, holiday functions, private engagements, corporate outings, social gatherings, reunions and block parties.

Dana is the real deal. She offers such accuracy and amazing insights. I just listened to my 2013 forecast and realized just how accurate she is.
I have been to many readers over the years. Dana gets down to the heart of the matter, without you even asking a thing. Complete clarity for your most pressing issues. What a great soul she has as well. If you want the truth, in a no nonsence , sweet way, go see Dana..I cannot speak highly enough of her. I am going back to her for sure. No need to go to anyone else.
Thank you so much Lisa for heartfelt feedback. I certainly love what I do and so happy we connected very well. I truly look forward to assisting you again down the road. :-)
Dana Marie is a wonderfully gifted 'messenger' of truth. She is as clear as a bell, exudes love and light and is spot on with the information she shares.
Within a few days of my reading, things she suggested would materialize did before I realized they had, none of which involved my doing.
I recommend Dana highly and cant wait for my follow-up reading. She is my new spiritual guide and teacher. You will not regret one minute with her.
Oakland, California
Thank you Marsha. It's been a while and hope you're doing well.
I found Dana by fate several years ago on ebay. I purchased a tarot reading and was very impressed and excited to see what would unfold. She was very accurate and detailed. Wow
I've make it appoint to reach out to hear at least once or twice a year... sharing her intuitive abilities as well as her outstanding skill at reading the cards.
Dana is always provides her clients with a wealth of guidance which is most beneficial. I'll be calling you soon. Angel Hugs, girl Best Always..:)
Dana Marie is one of the most genuine souls. Her readings are life changing and very accurate. I love the way she delivers her message to her clients.
A. Phone readings, readings in person, working holistic expos or psychic fairs.
A. Always ask for referrals or read client testimonials.
A. No secrets. What you see is what you get, quality intuitive guidance.
A. 1. How many years experience?
2. Where can I read testimonials or feedback?
3. What "areas" are you most comfortable?
4. Do you belong to any association or group?
5. How can you convince me you're right for the job?
A. Are they prepared for the truth? I'm a no-nonsense type of reader so sugar coating and giving false hopes do not apply to my work as professional intuitive.
Some clients approaching me for the first time never had readings before. It's always best to ask questions prior to making appointments so we're both on the same page.
A. Making a difference by showing people we all have freewill choices and options to create fulfilling lives.
A. How do I know you're legit?
It's always best to ask questions when seeking psychic advice as there are scammers (or charlatans) taking advantage of very vulnerable people. I pride myself in being honest, authentic and genuine with my services. I serve God and humanity; therefore, I have high ethics and morals when it comes to my work.
A. Trust is an important factor and I would want to have a trusting relationship with my clients. Also, I take my work quite seriously...it's about how the client truly benefits from accurate psychic information. I don't believe in fluff and fairty tales. I'm truthful and honest, and expect the same from my clients as well.
A. I was always the weird, introverted kid growing up with huge visual imagination. Turned out I'm really clairvoyant and can "picture" things in my third eye before they actually happen. It took many years for me to embrace my gift and now I use it!
A. Lately I've been scheduling more in-person readings, either at my private studio or elsewhere in New York City, and this shows people are ready to make wise investments for their lives by seeking reputable and ethical readers and healers. I really enjoy face-to-face consultations as much as providing them over the telephone. As long as the client is open minded, has great energy, a good listener and is well to LEARN, then oftentimes the connection is fluid and flowing. That's the way it should be.
A. Studying for Bachelors of Metaphysical Science degree at University of Sedona.
A. Be sure this is exactly what you want to do -- helping others -- and keep in mind psychic work is NOT a cash cow unless you have an enormous clientele and a good publicist.
A. Because this is my only source of income, I might charge a little more than other psychics you come across online or in person. However, a reading with me is HIGH QUALITY and you won't have to worry about paying more for less. I give you my time, energies, focus and attention so therefore, a reading with me is surely worth its weight in gold. There are many charlatans out there who reel in unsuspecting folks with too good to be true promises. I believe if you're able to spend wisely -- of course checking any psychic's credentials and feedback in advance -- my vast array of intuitive services won't disappoint.

Voice of the people
Educators are heroes every day
I am so proud to see public acknowledgment of the teachers, the principal and the custodian at Sandy Hook Elementary School as being called heroes. Absolutely, they are. They gave or risked their lives to help their students. Nothing can or should ever lessen that fact.
My reason for this letter is to remind the public that all educators are caring people that do way more than is ever reported. I am surprised — no, shocked — that people are surprised that public school employees would risk their lives for "their kids." Public school employees give of their lives daily, and I feel confident in saying that almost every public school employee would give their life for "their kids."
Teachers work hard days, often taking home not only student work to be graded, but also the heartbreak of those same student's lives. School employees often know about those lives and feel frustrated that they cannot change those negative issues. Often they do things about those negative issues that are never known by anyone.
Teachers often spend their own money, bring items from home for "their kids" and spend their own time helping those same kids. As we are in the Christmas season, even more is being done behind the scenes to help students.
There is a great outpouring of requests to "hug a teacher" now. Please do it. Hug them by supporting them, by supporting the school systems they work for, and by having your student/child support them with respect and care.
Call your legislators — get them to support financial help for school systems. Send your child to school with an attitude that school is important and mostly — "hug a teacher" with your support and respect.

Tougher drunk driving laws needed
It is our appointed time to ask our legal representatives in Charleston to make our laws over problem drunk drivers much tougher than ever! People like John David Caldwell, who is a problem, high-end drunk driver! He has driven drunk in many vehicles and accumulated 13 to 14 DUI citations to his legal police record!
Do we allow people like Mr. John David Caldwell to continue to drive drunk on the roads of West Virginia and kill people in the process? Or do we allow people like Mr. John David Caldwell to be tried in court, to be convicted and to be put in jail with a life sentence?
I leave it up to you citizens of West Virginia to make up your choice! To allow high-end drunk drivers, like Mr. John David Caldwell, to legally drive dunk in vehicles to kill people on the roads? Or do you contact your legal representatives in Charleston to toughen the laws over high end drunk drivers like Mr. John David Caldwell? To make sure they never get to drive on our roads ever again!

Last night I stood in the kind of hip club space I haven't visited since my 20s, jammed with nominees for the annual Canadian Online Publishing Awards. That spirit of course imbues our own upstart site here at HuffPost Canada, which was nominated for no fewer than eight awards. You can imagine how proud I was, as the former Managing Editor of Blogs here, to see our talented writers walk away with both the Gold and Silver awards for Best Blog in the daily and weekly newspapers, and broadcasters category.
Nathan Winograd is the leader of the No Kill movement, a genuine revolution in animal welfare. Over three million healthy and adoptable pets will be killed next year in America's shelters. Not, however, if Winograd and his growing army have any say. I caught up with him a few weeks after the No Kill Advocacy Centre's annual conference in Washington D.C.
On August 4, I was honoured to receive a humanitarian award from PETA for introducing Bill S-210 to end Canada's commercial seal slaughter. No international markets remain for this trade, but politicians from all parties prop it up each year with millions in wasted tax dollars. It's time for Canadian politicians to face the fact that the commercial seal-slaughter industry is over.
The reality is that the seals being hunted are not an endangered species and are not being hunted in numbers that might cause them to become endangered. In the areas of the world where seals are hunted there are few, perhaps no, viable alternatives. There are limited economic opportunities and few other food sources.
People naturally assume that the animal rights movement is simply an extension of the human rights movement. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), however, is a political movement primarily focused on the right to determine when and how an animal should die. Those who donate to PETA are almost never aware of this.
Why is a so-called animal rights group willing to go to war over its right to kill healthy pets unnecessarily? "No Kill" -- defined as a euthanasia rate of not more than 10 per cent of a given shelter's pets -- has been achieved wherever it has been strictly implemented. Perhaps the most sickening aspect of PETA's assault on the No Kill movement is that it blocks groups from rescuing animals in high-kill shelters.
The American media and general public were recently sent into a tizzy over Mayor Michael Bloomberg's announcement that a 16-ounce limit would be on New York City's sugary drinks. What's next? I'll tell you what: foie gras. Starting July 1, Californians will no longer be able to enjoy the deliciously contentious food.
Over the past eight months, I have had the pleasure of being one of Conrad Black's editors. His blogs have arrived weekly from prison like clockwork. Often I wondered how he wrote these from prison. I don't just mean the mechanics (because those were obviously an issue: How do you get access to a computer? Do you have Internet?). But how did he manage to keep up on everything? Reading his highly informed and topical blogs you would never know this was a man almost entirely cut off from the information sources we take for granted. Here's the bottom line: The key to Conrad's survival has been his mind.
Bill Maher is pretty much the last person you'd expect to get sucked in by PETA, Ingrid Newkirk's cult of euthanasia. For Maher to uncritically cheerlead for one of the ugliest cults in America is truly disheartening. And, unlike most of the celebrity cults, PETA does real damage, on a gruesome scale.
Happy Earth Day! I hope to spend today, ideally, puttering about my garden. Yes, we can all aspire to do something more high-minded, but even just beautifying your own patch of soil contributes to the pleasure of everyone around you (including even something as simple as a window box).
Relaxing, too, will help me recover from what was truly an amazing week here at HuffPost -- and what promises to be another in the coming week. In home news, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney joined our editorial team on Wednesday for dinner -- and a no-holds-barred question session, including questions from our readers. You'll be impressed by his frankness.
While Rick Santorum was dropping out of the GOP political race for personal reasons, and Hilary Rosen was making personal attacks on Anne Romney for political reasons, AOL/HuffingtonPost office politics became big personal news (at least for those of us working here): Microsoft agreed to buy $1.06 billion worth of AOL patents. (Yes, Dr. Evil, that's one. billion. dollars -- or $999,440,106.20 CDN).I can't claim any insider information as to what this means to AOL/Huffpost in general, or AOL/Huffpost Canada in specific. At minimum, I'm hoping for a new stapler.
Two major government budgets were released this week, by Ontario and the Feds respectively; as widely anticipated, both will balance spending and eliminate debt by the end of the year with no cuts to any social services. Critics from the left and right applauded the leaders for showing such fiscal responsibility while managing to balance the needs of all Canadian citizens. Asked how he expected to deal with the looming crisis with old age pensions, Prime Minister Harper noted that the budget called for the phasing out of seniors beginning in 2016... Okay, now that I've got my April Fool's joke out of the way, let's look back upon the messy conflagration of human events that constitutes last week's news highlights here at Huffpost.

Smith Vaiant Brim Helmet
I have been skiing for years but resisted using helmets (thought they would be a pain). I thought I would try one this year for my trip to WinterPark,CO. I thought it was great! It is so light I never noticed it was there. I found no noticable restrctions to visibility or mobility. Doubt I will ever ski again without it.

Last Season: Under the helm of first-year head coach, Mark Trakh, the Aggies finished the 2011-12 season with a 6-24 overall season record. This left NM State with a 3-11 Western Athletic Conference record. The Aggies made an appearance at the WAC Championships at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nev. (3/7). The Aggies were seeded eighth in the tournament but were quickly booted out by No. 1 66-58 State. Senior guard Tabitha Wampler was the most recent Aggie to join the 1,000 Point Club with a career 1,254 points (2008-12). She joins former teammates Danisha Corbett and Madison Spence along with Aggie great Anita Maxwell (2,601) and Andrea Kabwasa (1,788). Another highlight for the Aggies in 2011-12 was coach Trakh coaching his 500th game of his career as a Division I head coach. In his 17th year on the sidelines, the floor general notched the milestone against Hawai'i in Las Cruces Feb. 16.

GILBERT, W.Va. — John B. Vincen of Gilbert passed away Tuesday, March 19, 2013, at Marky Cancer Center in Lexington, Ky.
Born July 25, 1933, at Man, he was a son of the late Johnny and Laura White Vincen.
He was a 1951 graduate of Man High School and attended Marshall University's Logan Campus.
After high school, John joined the Air Force and served our country during the Korean War as Airman Second Class, working as a highly-skilled airplane mechanic. He received a certificate of commendation for his excellent service.
After his tour of duty in the military, John went to work for Amherst Coal Company where he was an electrician for many years. He also worked for Paramount Pacific Construction Company and helped with the R.D. Bailey Dam Project.
After retirement, John pursued his many interests, most of which involved the outdoors. John was an avid gardener and shared his crops (and gardening advice) each year with friends and neighbors. John loved to plant trees and had quite a fruit orchard in his yard. He loved flowers and planted bulbs all around his property.
In addition to these activities, John loved boating on the R.D. Bailey Lake and made a habit of inviting friends for a Sunday afternoon trip around the lake, always providing hot dogs and 50s music as entertainment! John was quite an accomplished dancer; there was nobody in town who could "cut the rug" as well as John. When he wasn't out on the lake on a Sunday afternoon, he and his wife, Jean, would be exploring the woods behind his house on a dune buggy. Each fall, John and his brother Jimmy would go to Greenbrier County to hunt for squirrels.
John was a member of the Gilbert Presbyterian Church and the local UMWA.
Survivors include his wife of 29 years, A. Jean Fox Vincen; daughters, Laura Alice Schultz of Nitro, and Crystal D. Ballard of Teays Valley; brother, James D. Vincen of Monks Corner, S.C.; sister, Linda Miller of Chesapeake, Ohio; step-children, Donny Boren of Gilbert and Phyllis B. (Joe) Atkins of Charleston; grandchildren, Stephanie (Matt) Devine of Charlotte, N.C., and Austin Ballard and Pierson Ballard of Teays Valley; step-grandchildren, Shannon Boren and Chris Boren, both of Gilbert, and Terry Lee Vance II and Amy Lynn Vance of Charleston; two step-great-grandchildren, Terry Lee Vance III and Aiden Boren of Gilbert.
The family will receive friends at the Gilbert Presbyterian Church Saturday, March 23, from noon until the time of service at 1 p.m. with Rev. Doug Pendleton officiating. Interment will follow at Highland Memory Gardens at Godby with Military Graveside Rites.
In lieu of flowers, tributes may be sent to Gilbert Presbyterian Church, P.O. Box 496, Gilbert, WV 25621, or to the charity of your choice.
Pallbearers include Matt Divine, Terry Vance II, Freddie Harless, Bruce Burgess, Bill Peak, Tom White, Curtis Lester and Andy Dillon.
Honorary pallbearers include James H. "Buck" Harless, Jimmy Harless, Clyde Lester, Tim Rutledge and David Houck.
Condolences may be left at www.mountsfuneralhome.com
Mounts Funeral Home of Gilbert is in charge of arrangements.

Bacula is a set of Open Source, computer programs that permit you (or the system administrator) to manage backup, recovery, and verification of computer data across a network of computers of different kinds. Bacula is relatively easy to use and efficient, while offering many advanced storage management features that make it easy to find and recover lost or damaged files. In technical terms, it is an Open Source, network based backup program. (Source www.bacula.org)
Installing Bacula open source backup solution on CentOS/RHEL, Debian, Ubuntu
Install some dependencies
On Debian, Ubuntu system
$ sudo su -
# apt-get install mysql-server mysql build-essential libmysqlclient15-dev ncurse*
On CentOS/RHEL, Fedora
# yum install mysql-devel mysql-server mysql ncurse* gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake
Download the latest stable version and untar the package.
# wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/bacula/files/latest/download?source=files
# tar zxvf bacula-5.2.12.tar.gz
Lets compile the package, run configure, make and make install
# cd bacula-5.2.12
# CFLAGS="-g -Wall" ./configure --enable-smartalloc --with-mysql --enable-conio
# make
# make install
# make install-autostart
Create user database and tables for bacula, enter root password when prompted.
# cd /etc/bacula
# ./grant_mysql_privileges -p
# ./create_mysql_database -p
# ./make_mysql_tables -p
Now if you wish to install Bacula Administration Tool use yum to do that. BAT does not change much from version to version thus the easiest way is to use yum or apt.
On CentOS/RHEL, Fedora
# yum -y install bacula-console-bat
On Debian, Ubuntu
# apt-get install bacula-console-qt
Open the director config file and set the following values.
# vi /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf
# line 22: set password and director name
# line 110: Set the backup target on Client, the backup will be taken under this directory
# line 156: setup client name and address
# line 185: set storage Daemon's hostname and password, in our case the storage daemon and director is installed on the same host.
# line 232: set username dbname and password for bacula on MySQL
# line 281: tweak the pool definition or leave it default
Open storage daemon config file and set director name and password
# vi /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf
Open the bconsole config file and set director hostname and password.
# vi /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf
Start the services and make sure these start on server reboots
# /etc/init.d/bacula-dir start
# /etc/init.d/bacula-sd start
# chkconfig bacula-dir on
# chkconfig bacula-sd on
On the Client System you wish to backup, bacula-fd needs to be installed.
# wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/bacula/files/latest/download?source=files
# tar zxvf bacula-5.2.12.tar.gz
# ./configure --enable-client-only
# make
# make install
# make install-autostart-fd
Open the bacula-fd config file using an editor and set Director name and password.
# vi /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf
Open the bconsole config file and set director hostname and password.
# vi /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf
Restart bacula-fd service and make sure it starts automatically on server reboots.
# /etc/init.d/bacula-fd start
# chkconfig bacula-fd on
To run backup using cli execute the bconsole binary either on client or use BAT for GUI

in 2009 Affordable Midsize SUVs
2009 Dodge Durango Interior
This interior review was created when the car was new. Some links may no longer point to an active page.
Though the interior of the 2009 Dodge Durango is solid and functional, reviewers complain of tight seating in the rear two rows.
- "Large, airy cabin with clean, modern styling and three rows of seats." -- Motor Week
- "Inside the cabin, you'll find clean lines. . .[but] the Durango is no class leader when it comes to interior style." -- Edmunds
Dodge Durango Pictures
The base Durango seats five, but an optional third row lets it accommodate up to eight, which is more than most midsize SUVs. However, if you plan to fill all the seats, most passengers will be squished, since reviewers say the second and third rows of seats are cramped.
- "Headroom and legroom are generous, even beneath the housing of the optional sunroof." -- Consumer Guide (front seats)
- "The cabin is roomy in most respects, but unfortunately, adults will likely find that the second row's available legroom is rather tight." -- Edmunds
Interior Features
The Durango has some innovative interior features, including satellite TV for rear-seat passengers. The interior materials and layout are about average.
- "Cabin materials are neither fancy nor exceptionally cheap looking. Despite some lightweight plastic pieces, most everything appears durable and looks appropriate for the price, at least on conventional models." -- Consumer Guide
- "Modern and functional, the Dodge Durango's cabin was designed with family-style versatility in mind -- but not high-quality materials." -- Edmunds
- "The handsome dash is clean, simple and easy to use, with controls well within the driver's reach and logically arranged." -- Kelley Blue Book
The Durango boasts a maximum of 102.4 cubic feet of cargo room, with 68.4 cubic feet behind the second row and 20.1 cubic feet behind the third row. With all seats in use, the Durango has more cargo space than most rivals. Testers also appreciate the Durango's thoughtful storage cubbies.
- "There are many useful small storage areas inside the vehicle and within reach of the front passengers that complement the huge rear cargo area. In addition, there are two power outlets for charging the equipment that travelers need." -- The Auto Channel

Maybe you recall a time back in March when I asked you all what your favorite post-workout snack was.
Or maybe you don't. That's OK. I'll forgive you for not remembering each and every individual blog post I've ever published. It's fine. Really.
Anyway, what I'm trying to get at is, when I started the convo about post-workout nutrition with you guys, I had briefly mentioned the Fit Fluential Fitness & Health Bloggers Conference and how cool it would be if I could attend. Well, my life is about to get really cool, because thanks to Refuel with Chocolate Milk I am one of forty bloggers who was awarded with a scholarship to attend the conference!
I actually mentioned this once in the beginning of April, but I didn't present it in the form of a big announcement because I was too busy being distracted by food.
So, on Wednesday (in just two short days!!) I'll be on my way to Denver and getting ready to share lots of new health and fitness fun with you all. Here's how I'll be starting off the trip:
"Hello bloggers!
We wanted to let you know that there has been a location change for the Thursday pre-conference excursion with goodnessknows. You will be hiking Green Mountain and getting your yoga on at Chautauqua Park in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. You'll still get stunning Rocky Mountain views and lung-fulls of fresh mountain air, but this way with less travel time in the car and more time enjoying the scenery!"
Well, if that's not the best email that's ever graced my inbox…
Click here to check out the entire conference agenda. I want you guys to tell me what from the conference you'd most like me to blog about… Aside from all of the fantastic food I'm going to be eating 😉
What from the 2012 Fitness and Health Blogger's Conference would you most like to see on The Hungry Runner?

"These cards turned out even better than we could have imagined. They were beautiful, and we received so many complements on them. Delivery was fast, and tiny prints was great to work with. THANK YOU!!!! Beautiful!!!!!"
"Our image was formatted to fit before placing it into the template. Photo was taken on an iPhone and the printed lazer print cards were PERFECT! so unusual unlike any of our friends cards and lovely because of its one sided/postcard like style allowed me to write a little personal message on the back! If you purchase this you will not be disappointed!"
"I love the quality of the paper and printing. Nice weight to the card. Family and Friends enjoyed receiving our Christmas card."
"I love this design for holiday cards. We used it for 2014-2015 and the product turned out perfectly. The design is darling. I love that the words from a little Christmas tree. Also the photo sizes are perfect. Other designs were too big or oddly shaped."
"This is the first time I've used Tiny Prints. It was hard to decide with all the beautiful design choices. I was very pleased with the quality of the paper and the printing. It seems a little more expensive than some sites but I felt with the rapid service and quality product it was worth it."

Thrifted, holey, unwashed, unbranded and missmatched, defined the late Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain's wardrobe. When he threw together his outfits there was no "styling" involved – other than the alleged compulsive changing of one dirty t-shirt for another as he layered up, self-conscious of his scrawny frame. Plaid shirts, one of his trademarks, were a typical cold weather staple in Cobain's native Seattle, t-shirts were bought at second-hand stores, and one pair of jeans would set him up for years. His hair-dye experiments, radioactive-yellow and slime-green, came courtesy of the heavily coloured soft drink Kool Aid.
An antidote to the sartorially self-aggrandising studs, leather and big hair of the rock stars that preceded Nirvana, Cobain's humble and subtle downtrodden-punk look, was dubbed grunge and quickly became the uniform by which to identify the growing legions of Nirvana devotees. It alarmed Cobain that some of these fans crossed over with cock-rock mega group Guns N' Roses fans, a band whose ethos Cobain detested, "Ever since the beginning of rock and roll, there's been an Axl Rose," he said.
Having sparred with Axl Rose at MTV's 1992 Video Music Awards when Rose asked Cobain, "Why don't you shut your bitch up?" referring to Cobain's wife Courtney Love, one of his most pointedly provocative outfits was the yellow high-collared ball gown he wore to the 1994 MTV Headbanger's ball. It was chosen to unsettle the MTV zeitgeist – a slim, attractive man in a dress who comfortably joked that his band mate (Dave Ghrol) didn't bring him a corsage, forced the average MTV viewer to expose and confront their own prejudices.
As Cobain's celebrity grew, his look, at one time a rebellious swerve from the status quo, become de rigueur as a generation emulated him. One such fan was a young Marc Jacobs, at the time working as a designer for Perry Ellis. His S/S93 collection was inspired by grunge and included oversized plaid shirts, raggedy crochet, and thermals re-imagined in luxe fabrics, much to the repulsion of Cobain and Love who burned the entire collection, which was sent to them by Jacobs.
"Marc sent me and Kurt his entire Perry Ellis Grunge collection. Do you know what we did with it? We burned it. We were punkers – we didn't like that kind of thing." Courtney Love speaking to WWD in 2010. As for Marc Jacobs, he found himself promptly fired by his employer Perry Ellis, leaving him free to set up his eponymous label.
