Merry Christmas Eve!
The lead to my story in The Journal News and LoHud.com today was this:
"Laughing all the way."
Because the Rangers go into the holiday break dancing, off four straight wins, three fairly decisive divisional victories in four nights, and in first place in the Patrick Division.
1) Anton Stralman. That was a Gilles Marotte hip check right out of the 1970s. Then a TD pass to Marian Gaborik (for his NHL-leading 21st goal). Liked the way John Tortorella said that when Stralman got here, he didn't know him, and that when he first saw him, he didn't like him. Kid's been good. Like all the defensemen who've subbed in here, including Steve Eminger and Jeff Woywitka, and down through Stu Bickel and Tim Erixon, and am I forgetting anybody?
2) What's a Rangers-Flyers game without some hate? Although, I must admit, I think this whole Winter Classic/HBO thing is creating a bit of a kinship between the teams. Not that the bad blood is turning good, and that was pretty evident with Scott Hartnell taking whacks at everybody going off the ice, and Jody Shelley trying to get at John Mitchell, who had squashed him, and Brandon Prust buckling that big Bourdon fella, and even Brian Boyle grappling with Sestito.
3) I was kidding during the game that Sestito told Boyle that it was Festivus and time for the feats of strength, and that Festivus "is not over until you pin me." So Boyle went for the takedown.
4) Speaking of Boyle and Prust, I got a clarification about "24/7." I had questioned whether they were actually sleeping with the cameras and cameramen in their hotel room. Well, it turns out, HBO cleared everything with them and the Rangers, asked them what time they want to be awakened, had a key to the room, and literally went in and woke them up with the cameras. Wow. That is reality TV.
5) But I do think it's a bit too much of a sell when the players come out to start the game in wool Winter Classic hats. Are you kidding me?
6) Stu Bickel, now 48 games away from Wayne Gretzky's record point streak. Met the kid last night. Man, is he big. Seemed a little overwhelmed by the attention. But he sure isn't overwhelmed on the ice.
7) Brandon Dubinsky's getting there. He really is. Boyle too.
8) I wasn't sure how Jaromir Jagr would be treated. Well, he was booed. I respect that.
9) I thought this was a really good bounce-back game out of Ryan Callahan and Carl Hagelin, and to a lesser degree Brad Richards.
10) In the third period, the whole place was chanting "Flyers suck!" It reminded me of my late great aunt Clare, who was a high school English teacher, an absolute die-hard Yankees/Rangers fan who took me to many, many games as a kid. I got her tickets to a game against the Flyers back in the 1980s, and she'd had a couple of pops during the game, and she was probably in her 60s back then, maybe 5-foot-1. And I was told that she got all caught up in the game and ended up standing on her chair screaming "Flyers suck!" So, when the chant went up last night, I thought of her and had a good laugh. Which was really nice at Christmas time.
11) Thank you to all of you Boneheads — the loud and loyal, the silent, and even the trolls. Last night we hit 10 million views. Not sure over what period of time, but since we started counting, I guess. Whatever that means, I won't see a dime. But I appreciate it, and Sam Weinman I'm sure appreciates it, and your numbers ensure that I'll be able to continue to do this (along with my other job). You guys rule!
12) I also heard, again, that at the college level, Chris Kreider continues to be a man against boys, and that his game and his skating are going to translate better in the NHL than in college. And I wonder if he will be coming and adding to this young team soon.
13) I always want to say something new or clever about Henrik Lundqvist (or Martin Biron). But it's the same story every night. Excellence. You guy must be getting spoiled. Ditto for Block Ness Monster Girardi. Did Claude Giroux do anything against him and Ryan McMonster in this game?
My Three Rangers Stars:
1) Henrik Lundqvist.
2) Stu Bickel.
3) Dan Girardi.

Last week I sent the following letter to Steven. I'd like to share it with the community.
Hi Steven,
A few short years ago I had absolutely no clue about grilling ribs, or practically anything else. In fact the very first time I grilled ribs, they were baby backs for my family, I made beautiful pieces of charcoal. I wish I had a photo of that disaster, however I was too upset to take photos.
Now, in no small part thanks to your book "How to Grill", and your personal suggestions from time to time, I can say in all confidence that I have mastered grilling Pork Spare Ribs. I have continued to hone my skills by browsing online and trying new things I had not dared to try before having learned from you. You taught me how to walk so to speak as far as grilling is concerned.
Yesterday I was challenged to cook for 24 people, and ventured to grill 8 racks of spare ribs on a good friend's brand new Weber Genesis grill. They came out perfect! Everybody loved "my" BBQ sauce, in fact your "basic BBQ sauce" from "How to Grill" with about double the Cayenne and Tabasco, as well as 5 Star Anise pods added.
Attached are a few photos of the event.
As you can see in the photos, I used two rib racks to support the ribs. Yours and an unknown brand that belongs to my friend. Your racks stand head and shoulders above the other one both literally and figuratively for several important reasons.
- It is much wider, so the racks don't flop over on the ends.
- It is much taller, so the racks are supported better.
- It has an extra space on the bottom of about 3/4 of an inch so the racks don't sit right on top of the grill grate.
Since I was using only the left hand burner (with smoker pouches above it, see photos) to keep the temperature low enough, obviously resulting in somewhat uneven heat inside the grill, I switched the two racks every half hour to even this out. The handles on your rack made this so easy.
I still wish that you would make your rib rack in stainless steel, since this would make it so much easier to clean, because you can than see what you are doing.
All the best.
What I did not mention in my letter to Steven, is that the event in question with 24 people present was a weekly Tertulia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tertulia), and most if not all of the guests were from Spain. After the event one of my friends, a Spaniard, gave me a new nickname: "El Costillero"

Affordable Quality Link Building as a SEO TACTIC

Consistent genuine quality thanks to our years of experience, while doing so from a low cost country; no tricks needed; just a team of honest professionals doing a lot of genuine work for you.
There's no secret to it, all that makes us different is that I knew that Google would figure it out sooner or later, it was last year April when they finally did. Which means that for 8 years we have been able to get ready, and we are;
Post penguin SEO

What has been true since 2004 is still so today; when your order from Luminous SEO Company your rankings will go up consistently, we confirm it every day.

Convenient Monthly Link Building Packages
Social Media Services
Social bookmarking has been around for a long time but has always had the same problem - because there are so many real social signals, in order to get enough out of it you really have to do vast amounts of it, which is largely what Penguin was all about - punishing such behavior.
But at the same time Google has been working on what they call 'authorship'. To make a long story short, you need to set up a Google Plus account and link from your site to the account, then link from that profile back to your site under 'contributor to'. That way Google 'knows' who you are. But it's still a mathematical logarithm, so we need to expand on it, as Google does. That's what the whole public profile package is all about and why it is mandatory.
In order to be able to set up 25 public profiles in all of the biggest social media sites, we need a whole lot of little snippets of information about the person who's representing your company online. The first thing we do is to write 5 'personal' biographies and also 5 'company' biographies, and we extend the information you gave us to make it fully fit each of the different sites we'll be using.
Due to Google's new rules, you need to order the
public profile package
first, its mandatory!
As long you take the public profile package first, we don't have to bother you for anymore details.
Step 1: collecting all necessary details, all possible little snippets of information any web site might be asking for in 1 long, extended excel file.
Step 2: based on the information you provided us we'll write biographies;
5 personal and 5 company for the basic package
10 personal and 10 company for the premium package and 5 long about-us (your company) pages
Step 3: spread those details around in the world 25 most popular sites with social media options
filling in profiles
collecting profile URLs
Step 4: connect all those different account so they form a cluster and validate each other.
setting up the automated interlinking/connecting/following/sharing options
When that's done we can start using them, meaning you can start ordering the actual link building and we'll be able to process it fast, yet accurate. This while the profiles will give the stamp of authenticity needed to bypass the Panda and Penguin filters.
Once we have set up your public profiles we have all the possible little pieces of data other sites might ask for when registering, and the profiles we are able to get from blogs grow valuable very fast. However, this only works as long as they allow links from the profile pages, which is exactly what we look for when researching your niche market (related); for partners (blogs) to exchange content (comments and posts) for links (dofollow).
Since a lot of people worry about giving out personal details, and since scammers find ways to abuse this personal information, we offer the option to create a 100% fake online representative. This will only work as long as you also link from your site to the Google Plus account. The representative is a fake but we're not doing anything illegal here, we are just protecting you from scammers. Creating a false persona is common in all kinds of industries, we all know that actors have stage names and it's acceptable.
It's simply about getting across the message; as long as that fake online personality is not lying to or misleading people I do think the threat of scammers justifies the use of it. Then again, I do recommend using a real name, in fact if possible yours, as once we have done the standard basics and those profiles really start to get traction, and you could then jump in to keep the momentum going. After all, although we're seo-experts it doesn't mean we are instantly experts in your profession as well - your input is always more than welcome.
Before you can order any blog commenting, you need to order the
public profile package
Blog Service
Blog Commenting Service
Spamming the hell out of a bunch of blogs is
what we do!!
First we do a dofollow research to collect a list of related blogs for your site. We employ native English staff whose role it is to make meaningful blog comments and blog posts. This is really a very efficient way for really high quality link building.
Blogger-Blogspot Service
Google has its own blog platform known as blogger-blogspot. Once we have set up a Google Plus account, that's also your blogger-blogspot account by default. Of course Google favors their own system and so, despite the fact that most links are nofollows, the visible positive results of using blogger-blogspot are undeniable.
Due to Google's new rules, you need to order the
public profile package
first, its mandatory!
Article Services
Articles are still suffering from the same misunderstanding as always - it's not because you (or the cheap crap service you hired) used the tactic wrong that the tactic is bad.
There's only 1 new disadvantage. Google has been giving more and more value to links from sites that are hosted in the same country as your market, thus less for links from other countries. This has resulted in there being enough US located article directories for articles, but for any other country there are just not enough quality article directories left to do a full package. So whilst for non-USA sites this option is dead, if your site is for the USA market then writing articles the right way still works.
We use only the top 20 article sites, only the best articles, and a lot of variations for the biographies, so we can work in a lot of variation in the links as well! That's how you do it right and that's how we do it.
Article submissions still have many, many advantages;
You can link to your homepage AND to sub-pages (deep-links).
Your article will be published on a separated page and so the page is 100% related to your site.
In most of the article directories your own links are the the only outgoing links.
People actually read these articles and will visit your site.
And much more ...
We offer both article services; article writing and article submission.
Directory Submission Service
Of course Google knows very well which directory owners take them seriously, they actually review your site and genuinely build a quality directory. When you get a lot of links from those directories your rankings will improve.
We undertake a lot of additional research to ensure we only submit to those directories that are appreciated by Google. Up until 2008 it made sense to submit up to 10.000-15.000 directory submissions, as a few weeks after the submissions the results could be viewed. However, since the Google Panda updates we only have 500 directories left that are worth the effort and can increase your ranking.
This is why we offer small directory packages with a lot of variation as well URLs (your pages) as titles (which are in directories your anchor text links) and at least 25 descriptions.

Diflucan suspensionPronunciation
Generic Name: fluconazole (floo-KON-a-zole)
Brand Name: Diflucan
Diflucan suspension is used for:
Treating and preventing certain yeast and fungal infections. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Diflucan suspension is an azole antifungal. It kills sensitive fungi by interfering with the formation of the fungal cell membrane.
Do NOT use Diflucan suspension if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Diflucan suspension
- you have certain rare hereditary problems (glucose-galactose malabsorption, fructose intolerance, sucrase-isomaltase deficiency)
- you are taking astemizole, cisapride, an ergot alkaloid (eg, ergotamine), erythromycin, pimozide, quinidine, terfenadine, or voriconazole
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using Diflucan suspension:
Some medical conditions may interact with Diflucan suspension. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have had an allergic reaction to another azole antifungal (eg, itraconazole)
- if you have a history of liver or kidney problems, or heart problems (eg, irregular heartbeat, structural heart problems)
- if you have a weakened immune system, HIV infection, diabetes, cancer, or blood electrolyte problems (eg, low blood potassium or magnesium levels)
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Diflucan suspension. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Many other prescription and nonprescription medicines (eg, used for aches and pains, allergies, anxiety, asthma or other lung or breathing problems, birth control, blood flow problems, blood thinning, cancer, diabetes, depression or other mental or mood problems, drug dependence, gout, heartburn or reflux, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, HIV, immune system suppression, infections, irregular heartbeat or other heart problems, low sodium levels, migraines, nausea or vomiting, overactive bladder, seizures, sleep problems, stomach or bowel problems, tics), multivitamin products, or herbal or dietary supplements (eg, St. John's wort) because they may interact with Diflucan suspension. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure if any of your medicines might interact with Diflucan suspension
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Diflucan suspension may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use Diflucan suspension:
Use Diflucan suspension as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Take Diflucan suspension by mouth with or without food.
- Shake well before each use.
- Use a measuring device marked for medicine dosing. Ask your pharmacist for help if you are unsure of how to measure your dose.
- Take Diflucan suspension at least 2 hours before taking a PPI (eg, omeprazole).
- To clear up your infection completely, take Diflucan suspension for the full course of treatment. Keep taking it even if you feel better in a few days. Do not miss any doses.
- Diflucan suspension works best if it is taken at the same time each day.
- If you miss a dose of Diflucan suspension, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Diflucan suspension.
Important safety information:
- Diflucan suspension may cause dizziness. This effect may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Diflucan suspension with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
- Diflucan suspension has been known to cause rare cases of serious liver damage, including death, mainly in patients with serious medical conditions. Liver damage caused by Diflucan suspension has not been attributed to total daily dose, length of therapy, or sex or age of the patient. This type of liver damage may or may not be reversible when Diflucan suspension is stopped. Contact your doctor right away if you experience dark urine, loss of appetite, pale stools, severe stomach pain, or yellowing of the skin or eyes.
- If your symptoms do not get better within a few days or if they get worse, check with your doctor.
- Diflucan suspension only works against fungi; it does not treat viral infections (eg, the common cold) or bacterial infections.
- Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Diflucan suspension before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.
- Be sure to use Diflucan suspension for the full course of treatment. If you do not, the medicine may not clear up your infection completely. The fungus could also become less sensitive to this or other medicines. This could make the infection harder to treat in the future.
- If you develop a rash while you take Diflucan suspension, contact your doctor.
- Long-term or repeated use of Diflucan suspension may cause a second infection. Tell your doctor if signs of a second infection occur. Your medicine may need to be changed to treat this.

This interesting subclass of reptiles first emerged some 200 million years ago in the Upper Triassic Period and later became extinct. All are reptiles, because they bear fundamental reptilian features: cold-blooded metabolisms (unable to produce their own heat), and bodies covered in scales. However, thanks to their powerful wings, they were able to fly.
Various popular evolutionist publications portray flying reptiles as a paleontological discovery that supports Darwinism—or at least, give such an impression. In fact, however, their origin constitutes a major dilemma for the theory of evolution: The flying reptiles emerge in the fossil record suddenly and fully formed, with no intermediate form between them and terrestrial reptiles. They have perfectly created powerful wings, which no land reptiles possess. Yet no fossil of a half-winged creature has ever been discovered.
In fact, it is impossible for half-winged creatures ever to have existed. Had such fictitious animals ever lived, they would have been at a disadvantage compared to other species, having lost the use of their front legs, but still being unable to fly. In that case, according to the logic of evolution itself, they would have swiftly gone extinct.
When examined, the wing structure of flying reptiles is seen that as too flawless and sophisticated to be explained in terms of evolution. Flying reptiles have five fingers on their wings, as do other reptiles do on their front limbs. However, the fourth finger is some 20 times longer than the others, and the wing stretches out from it as a membrane. Had terrestrial reptiles actually evolved into flying reptiles, then the fourth finger in question could only have lengthened gradually—and in stages. Not just the fourth finger but all structural wing changes must have come about through mutations, and the entire process must have constituted an advantage for these animals.
The very notion that a land reptile could have gradually been converted into a flying reptile is absurd. The incipient, part-way evolved structures, rather than conferring advantages to the intermediate stages, would have been a great disadvantage. For example, evolutionists suppose that, strange as it may seem, mutations occurred that affected only the fourth fingers a little bit at a time. Of course, other random mutations occurring concurrently, incredible as it may seem, were responsible for the gradual origin of the wing membrane, flight muscles, tendons, nerves, blood vessels, and other structures necessary to form the wings. At some stage, the developing flying reptile would have had about 25 percent wings. This strange creature would never survive, however. What good are 25 percent wings? Obviously the creature could not fly, and he could no longer run.168
It is impossible to account for the origin of flying reptiles in terms of Darwinist evolutionary mechanisms. Indeed, the fossils make it clear that no such evolution ever took place. All that exists in the fossil record are perfect, flying reptiles, along with land-dwelling reptiles of the kind we are familiar with today.
Robert L. Carroll, an evolutionist himself and one of the most eminent figures in the world of vertebrate paleontology, makes this confession:
. . . all the Triassic pterosaurs were highly specialized for flight . . . They provide C9 no evidence of earlier stages in the origin of flight.169
None of the flying reptiles provides any evidence for evolution. However, since for most people the word reptile implies a land-dwelling vertebrate, evolutionist publications seek to lump the pterodactyls in with dinosaurs and write about "reptiles opening and closing their wings." But in fact, land reptiles and flying reptiles emerged with no evolutionary links between them.

Emboldened by the popularity of its recent 70, Sunreef is now building another powercat. Though a bit smaller, the 60 will still have many features and amenities of her big sister. One advantage the 60 will have over the 70 will be her decreased beam (from 30'6" to 27'10"). While losing interior volume may seem like a drawback, it's important to remember that a boat with this much beam will still have plenty of room for you and your guests—and it will be that much easier to maneuver around crowded marinas.
Hull No. 1 has been commissioned by a European owner who has chosen to put two en suite cabins in the forward section, two double cabins in the starboard hull, and a final cabin in the port hull. Not that you'd want to spend your time onboard this cat asleep. With optional twin 800-hp MAN diesels, she will reportedly be able to achieve a top speed of 29 mph, a cruise speed of 23 mph, and a range of 4,600 miles.
Topside on the 60's abundantly expansive sundeck—a proud trademark of all Sunreef designs—you'll find the external helm station, as well as a bar, dining area, and of course, a giant sunpad perfect for relaxing. After all, what good is having all that beam, if you don't have a place to stretch out?

Where is financial innovation coming from in these days of (slightly) chastened banks? Look no further than index providers. The profit to be made from joining the index game has tempted Thomson Reuters to throw its hat into the ring, as we reported in FTfm yesterday.
Now S&P has announced an intriguing new securities lending index series, designed to measure the average cost of borrowing US equities. What does it portend when an activity like securities lending gets its own index? S&P says it is bringing transparency to opaque over-the-counter transactions, and providing both lenders and borrowers with a means of hedging (against rate increases that would decrease revenue streams or against costs, respectively). The indices can also be used to speculate on the direction of markets, S&P points out.
The ingenuity of index providers knows no bounds. What next? An index of bank bonuses or CEO pay perhaps? Tracking those might be worthwhile!

Report: Apple's A5X Beats Tegra 3 in Graphics, But Not in Pure CPU Performance
Jason Mick
March 19, 2012 12:10 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: iFixit)
Benchmarks show Apple's chip is generally the more fit competitor, however the Tegra 3 still manages to impress
Apple, Inc.'s (
) new iPad 3 processor, the A5X, has been pitted against a top-of-the-line Android chip from NVIDIA Corp. (
), the Tegra 3 in the real world. The Tegra 3 is found in
the Transformer Prime
, the flagship Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) tablet from ASUSTEK Computer, Inc. (
Early reviews
analysis commentaries
from various parties were rather light on hard performance numbers for the CPU. But the folks over at
Laptop Magazine
a full set of CPU and GPU benchmarks on the iPad 3 and evaluated how it performed versus the Tegra 3.
In GLBenchmark 2.1, the A5X is a beast. Apple's tablet system-on-a-chip (SoC) is thought to pack a PowerVR SGX543MP4+ (the same chip found in the Sony Corp.'s (
PlayStation Vita
). Apple wasn't kidding when it said the chip
was four times as fast as the Tegra 3
. In a huge win for Imagination Technologies plc. (
), the GPU is actually close to
5 times
as fast as Tegra 3's GeForce derived mobile GPU.

Ironically, while graphics veteran NVIDIA languishes in graphics, it hits back equally hard in the CPU department. The Tegra 3 outperformed the A5X more than 2-fold in the GeekBench benchmark, which examines various CPU performance metrics. The only victory for Apple came in the stream test.
[Image Source: Laptop Magazine]
Overall, these results are not surprising. Both the A5X and Tegra 3 use the licensed Cortex-A9 design from ARM Holdings Plc. (
). And the A5X has two cores, while the Tegra 3 is a quad-core design. Now, the comparison isn't exactly apples and apples, as the Tegra 3 in the Transformer Prime is clocked at 1.3 GHz, where as the iPad's chip is clocked at 1 GHz. Thus the A5X may be actually a bit more efficient on a per-core basis, albeit weaker overall in raw power.
A handful of games such as Shadowgun and RipTide are using the Tegra 3's extra computing muscle to pull off slick effects like physics and reflections. While the iPad 3 lacks these niceties, it does offer much crisper rendering, thanks to its higher resolution 2048x1536 pixel screen. That's a lot of pixels, hence the need for that beefy GPU.
The iPad 3 (right) reportedly offers a crisper image, but the Tegra 3 powered Transformer Prime (left) offers better lighting and fix-driven objects like the flags hanging overhead.
[Image Source: Laptop Magazine]
In terms of gaming the iPad 3 and Transformer Prime seem to be neck and neck -- the iPad 3 offers gaudier resolutions, but the Transformer Prime offers unique visual effects in certain apps.
ASUSTEK is also hoping to level the playing field a bit with its coming Transformer Prime "Infinity" (TF701), which sports a 1920x1200 pixel resolution, up from the current model's 1280x800. The real question is what GPU will be inside that. After all, the Tegra 3 doesn't seem like it has the muscle to power that high a resolution display. One has to wonder whether ASUSTEK won't jump ship to a new PowerVR equipped SoC to quench its mobile graphics thirst.

Few things are more off-putting in social relationships than bad breath or halitosis. Bad breath can be all the more devastating because many of the worst sufferers appear to be completely unaware of their condition. Be honest with yourself: Can you recognize yourself here?
Bad breath can be caused by a variety of factors, such as eating foods like garlic that have a strong odor. Tooth decay, indigestion, smoking, or metabolic diseases like diabetes, are also leading causes. A bacterium on the human tongue, which is spread from other parts of the mouth, is also a proponent of bad breath. The primary source, however, is often odor-causing bacteria that can lead to undiagnosed gum disease. Unhealthy gums provide a medium for these bacteria to reproduce and multiply. If you notice a persistent bad taste in your mouth, or that people are shying away from you when you speak to them, a likely culprit is gingivitis, which if not treated can advance to periodontal gum disease.
How Bad Gums Cause Bad Breath
The number one cause of gum disease is the buildup of oral plaque, which can lead to poor oral hygiene.
Plaque and tartar are terms used to describe the residue of food particles and dead tissue, which build up between teeth and the gums. If proper attention is not paid to removing them, they can cause a myriad of issues. If teeth are not brushed and flossed regularly, plaque becomes a medium for anaerobic bacteria that can lead to bad breath and eventually more serious consequences including gum bleeding, chronic oral infections, and even tooth loss.
In the early stages of gum disease, plaque buildup inflames the gums. You may notice that your gums bleed when you brush your teeth. Other signs include red, inflamed, or puffy gums without bleeding, along with receding gums and changes in your bite. Even if you don't exhibit any of these symptoms, you may still be suffering from some degree of gum disease. Your dentist will be able to recognize the symptoms and determine what treatment will be most effective.
In the later stages of gum disease, plaque can actually irritate your inner gum layers in such a way that the underlying bone begins to pull away from your teeth. This can form small spaces between the teeth and the gums called pockets. Bacteria that spreads further into these pockets, causes infection and undermines the structural integrity of your teeth.
Bacteria from bad gums will migrate to other parts of your mouth, including the tongue, which some scientists believe is the culprit behind 90 percent of all bad breath. The tongue is one of our major sensory organs; its surface is grooved with taste buds. Food, dry epithelial cells, and nasal secretions can easily become trapped in those grooves, providing a perfect substrate for the proliferation of halitosis-causing bacteria.
Treatment For Bad Breath Caused By Bad Gums
Many people with bad breath caused by bad gums seek to cover the foul odor with commercial mouthwashes and toothpastes. This will not relieve the symptoms. Mouthwashes merely provide a chemical overlay to the odor, which can be even more offensive than untreated bad breath alone.
The most effective way to treat bad gums is through prevention. Vigorous brushing and flossing at least twice a day can prevent buildup of plaque, which is the number one cause of bad gums. Regular use of an antibacterial product like any of TheraBreath's Oral Rinses, the only antacid mouthwashes on the market, will help balance the pH of your mouth. This cuts down on the proliferation of the anaerobic bacteria that cause both plaque and halitosis.
Gum disease is often related to behaviors like smoking, eating an excessive amount of sweets, or stress that can cause you to grind your teeth. Smokers are seven times more likely than nonsmokers to develop gingivitis symptoms. Smoking cessation and other lifestyle changes will certainly improve unhealthy gums and bad breath.
The American Dental Association recommends professional cleanings and a routine dental checkup twice each year. During this checkup, your dentist will check for more subtle signs of bleeding gums, along with swelling and pockets that you may not have noticed yourself. Professional cleanings remove plaque residue, which improves mouth odor.
More advanced stages of gum disease can be treated with scaling and root planing, which is a procedure that scrapes away plaque residue and tartar beneath the gum lines.
When gum disease is extremely advanced, it may require a surgical intervention called pocket reduction surgery. During this procedure, the gums are actually lifted from the teeth and the underlying bone is smoothed so that the gums will fit tightly around the teeth without pockets. Grafted tissue from the roof of the mouth can be used to fill in spaces where gums have completely receded.
Fight Bad Breath by Preventing Gum Disease
One of the chief causes of bad breath is unhealthy gums.
If your gum disease isn't far advanced, you can turn it around by improving your oral hygiene. Speak to your dentist for more information. In addition to brushing and flossing more vigorously and often, your dentist may recommend that you have your teeth professionally cleaned every three months. This is opposed to every six months, which may be too long to wait in between visits. Regular use of a product like TheraBreath's PerioTherapy Oral Rinse mouthwash can help fight germs as well.

THERE is a dangerous edge to the comedy, Elling, which opens at the Melbourne Theatre Company this week. The two central characters are released into society after years in an institution only to find coping with every-day living presents insurmountable hurdles.
But Darren Gilshenan, who is playing the lead character for a second time, is reassuring there is no risk of the audience laughing at the antics of the mentally impaired.
''There is a deep humanity at play,'' he says. ''It reveals that everybody wants the same things.''
Gilshenan, whom a Sydney critic called the country's finest comic actor, says the play is not laugh-a-minute. ''There is a real darkness under it that makes everything bitter-sweet.''
He first played Elling in a Sydney Theatre Company season directed by Pamela Rabe three years ago and was happy to accept an invitation by Rabe to star in the MTC's new production about an odd Norwegian pair providing ''brain and brawn'' for each other.
Elling is a fastidious and paranoid inmate of a mental institution where he was confined following his mother's death when he was 40. He comes to share a room with Kjell Bjarne (Hayden Spencer), who appears to be Elling's opposite: uncouth, unwashed, a compulsive masturbator.
Spencer says his character is deeply troubled and socially inept after being institutionalised since he was young. When the pair are released together into the community, every-day tasks such as answering the phone pose ''enormous difficulties''.
''Kjell borrows Elling's brain and uses him as a guide in their new environment,'' Spencer says.
Gilshenan says the characters are incapable of living normal lives. ''Going to a restaurant is utterly confusing for them. They face seemingly insurmountable hurdles with only each other to rely on.''
The play is based on the original novel by Ingvar Ambjornsen which was adapted into an award-winning Norwegian film before it was transformed for the English stage by Simon Bent.
It retains the scale of the film, covering six months and more than 40 different locations. ''It's an enormous journey,'' Gilshenan says, pointing out that Emily Goddard who plays Kjell's girlfriend also plays three other female characters.
Brisbane-based Spencer toured Australia and Mexico with the Cirque du Soleil show, Dralion, over four years until 2010.
While there are no red noses in Elling, he relies on his internal clowning mechanism for the part. ''I thought of myself as an actor and a street theatre dude but Cirque du Soleil said I could play a clown and suddenly I had a title,'' he says.
He found life under the big top very different from the theatre. ''There wasn't big money for rehearsals because performance was valued higher,'' he says. ''There was also enormous improvisation that I was never fully comfortable with but it was an awesome experience.''
Spencer, who has named his dog No Touring Policy, said he and his wife are considering moving to Melbourne after being in the cast of last year's Australia! The Show! production at the MTC, which he also co-wrote.
Gilshenan is also an expert on clowning, which he teaches in Sydney, as well as other forms of comedy and Shakespeare. ''All comedy is based on fear and dangerous situations that characters find themselves in,'' he says. ''In Elling, they are on the edge of insanity.''
He says the play's wide emotional range extends from naturalism to magic realism. ''When the characters' imagination is played out on stage it even includes surrealism. One minute they are incredibly sad and anxious and the next the audience is laughing at their buffoonery.''
But he says the play is ultimately life-affirming. ''It portrays marginal characters enduring incidents that go horribly wrong before that bloom into healthy individuals,'' he says.
''This is different to much of current drama that goes the other way into tragedy. Here the potential is what could go wrong and comedy comes from how that is negated.''
Elling opens at the Melbourne Theatre Company's Southbank Theatre on Thursday until December 8.

Importers expect brisk movement for another record crop of Mexican mangoes this summer.
Through the first week of June, Mexico had shipped about 31 million boxes of mangoes to the U.S., about 2 million more than last year at the same time, said William Watson, executive director of the Orlando-based National Mango Board.
Volume should pick up even more when importers begin sourcing from the Nayarit growing region of Mexico the week of June 17, and the southern Sinaloa region later in the month, Watson said.
"The crop is good and movement is steady," he said. "As always, we're keeping an eye on the rains in the producing areas. So far, so good."
The mango market had stalled a bit in early June, but peak production promised aggressive promotions and brisk movement leading into the Fourth of July, said Chris Ciruli, partner in Nogales, Ariz.-based Ciruli Bros.
Mexico is on track to ship 10% to 15% more than last year's record total of 58 million mangoes, Ciruli said.
"Volumes will be high and pricing very reasonable," Ciruli said. "There are plenty of ad opportunities."
Ciruli Bros., which is shipping only Champagne (ataulfo) mangoes now, is encouraging retailers to promote through the Fourth of July and after, Ciruli said.
Pompano Beach, Fla.-based Central American Produce received big volumes of Mexican fruit in early June, but the size profile on tommy atkins mangoes was smaller than the company would like, saleswoman Sabine Henry said.
That should turn around, however, when Central American begins receiving larger kent fruit in mid-June, Henry said.
In early June, larger fruit was selling at a $2- to $2.50-per-box premium over smaller fruit, Henry said. As kent volumes increase, however, that gap should shrink to closer to 50 cents.
On June 11, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported prices of $5-6 for one-layer flats of tommy atkins mangoes 7-9s, up from $4.50-5 last year at the same time.
Central American expected to source from the Mexican growing regions of Nayarit, Jalisco and Colima before the big Sinaloa volumes began arriving at the end of June.
Fruit shipping in early June was peaking on 16s through 20s, right where retailers like them, and eating very well, Ciruli said.
Demand should be strong all summer in all channels, Watson said.
"More consumers are taking mangoes home than ever before," he said. "Retail support has been great. As well, consumers are seeing more mango options on menus in restaurants all over the U.S. this summer."
Central American's Mexican volumes were up 35% over last year at the same time, thanks to growing demand, Henry said.
"It's unbelievable. People are buying them every day."

Megan Fox hates women. And vice versa.
Megan Fox recently sat down with The New York Times to discuss why chicks want to kick her down a well and leave her for dead:
On women hating her:
"Women tear each other apart. Girls think I'm a slut, and I've been in the same relationship since I was 18. The problem is, if they think you're attractive, you're either stupid or a whore or a dumb whore. The instinct among girls is to attack the jugular."
On Jennifer's Body bombing:
"The movie is about a man-eating, cannibalistic lesbian cheerleader, and that pretty much eliminates middle America. It's obviously a girl-power movie, but it's also about how scary girls are. Girls can be a nightmare."
On… I honestly don't what the fuck she's talking about:
"I've learned that being a celebrity is like being a sacrificial lamb. At some point, no matter how high the pedestal that they put you on, they're going to tear you down. And I created a character as an offering for the sacrifice. I'm not willing to give my true self up. It's a testament to my real personality that I would go so far as to make up another personality to give to the world. The reality is, I'm hidden amongst all the insanity. Nobody can find me."
I hate to admit it, ladies, but Megan Fox is right: You're an insecure bag of catty.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/11/2012 (1746 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Manitoba Hydro's new Bipole III transmission line could face a significant delay because of the utility's attempt to change its route -- to avoid fragile caribou and moose habitat -- without redoing its environmental assessment of the project.
That supplemental assessment would give First Nations and the Manitoba Metis Federation (MMF) an opportunity to study the new route and how it would impact their communities, but Hydro is concerned it could delay plans for a 2017 in-service date for the power line.
"It would certainly have impacts on the schedule we're desperately trying to maintain," Hydro spokesman Glenn Schneider said Thursday.
The Crown corporation tabled its revised route plans late last week with two major changes: the first to veer the line around the Wabowden woodland caribou grounds and the second around an area farther south known as moose meadows. The province recognized woodland caribou as threatened under the province's Endangered Species Act in June 2006 and some parts of western Manitoba are now closed to moose hunting because of low populations.
The 1,400-kilometre Bipole III line proposal is currently before the province's Clean Environment Commission (CEC) as it conducts public hearings on the line's environmental impact.
The CEC is powerless to compel Hydro to redo its environmental assessment on the revised route but urges the utility to offer more information for public review.
"I think it would be pretty necessary for participants to have some kind of an environmental assessment PDQ," CEC chairman Terry Sargeant said at a hearing earlier this week.
"I would say to Manitoba Hydro that we're on a very tight timeline right now. If we don't conclude these hearings by the end of November, we may be looking at January, the end of January before they are concluded."
The revised route has added more flames to the fire of the MMF's threatened court challenge against Bipole III, which could delay the project indefinitely.
The MMF and Pine Creek First Nation argue they have not been adequately consulted on the project by Hydro -- a legal requisite under Canada's constitution.
"Whether at the end of the day people are supportive of what the new route changes are or not is not the point," MMF lawyer Jason Madden said. "The point is government and Hydro don't get to go behind closed doors, make the changes and not come back out to the public and to aboriginal groups and say one, what do you think about the changes, and secondly, what are the environmental effects?"
The MMF and other groups want the CEC to adjourn its hearing until Hydro complies with the law. The CEC had planned to wrap up its hearing by month's end.
"It is my submission that the appropriate way to deal with this mess is to simply adjourn the hearing process until such time as Hydro has got its act together," Peguis First Nation lawyer Robert Dawson told the CEC panel Tuesday.
Regardless of what Hydro does or what the CEC says in its final report on Bipole III, the MMF has already signalled they will go to court to block the project.
"This isn't about Hydro's schedule," Madden said. "This is about fairness."
The MMF and Peguis First Nation say Bipole III will cut through their traditional lands. They say if it's built, they want a cut of the revenue it generates through surplus power exports to the United States.
Hydro negotiated a revenue-sharing deal with the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation on the recently completed Wuskwatim generation station near Thompson and is currently negotiating a similar agreement with four northern bands on the proposed Keeyask dam project.
Manitoba Hydro CEO Scott Thomson has said the province risks rolling blackouts and a potentially crippling hit to the economy if it doesn't go ahead with a $20-billion plan to build Bipole III, Keeyask and the Conawapa generating station.
The bipole line, estimated to cost $3.28 billion, is to run down the west side of the province and is intended to bring more reliability to Hydro's system, including meeting rising domestic demand in southern Manitoba.
Bipole III quotes
"I mean, I don't see how we can conclude these hearings until we have had a fair environmental assessment of what may well be the final route of this project."
-- Terry Sargeant, chairman of Manitoba's Clean Environment Commission
"This is not Etch-a-Sketch transmission routing. There needs to be an environmental assessment based upon the route that is before the commission. It's plain and simple."
-- Manitoba Metis Federation lawyer Jason Madden
"We have had no approach, no conversation, no contact from Manitoba Hydro to discuss or consider this. It has been up to us to pull teeth."
-- Pine Creek First Nation spokesman Warren Mills
"Ultimately, I think any participant who walks out of here should have only one feeling, shall we say, and that is that they were fairly treated."

Agyemang-Duah, Matuszczak, Tancic and Maxwell tabbed in track program's first year
SAINT LEO, Fla. – Four Saint Leo University track athletes were named to the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-South Region team in the program's first year of existence.
Herns Agyemang-Duah and Rafal Matuszczak received the honor on the men's side, and Jelena Tancic and Andrea Maxwell were named on the women's side.
The top five individuals in each event from each region earned the All-Region distinction, in addition to each of the members of the regions' top three relay teams.
Men's All-Region awards went to 646 different student-athletes, who combined for 905 total awards.
The women saw 619 separate competitors accumulate 911 total honors.
Agyemang-Duah, who is competing in his first year of track at any level, was named as a recipient in both the 400 meters and the 800 meters.
In the 400, Agyemang-Duah had the fourth fastest time in the event in the south region, and made a name for himself in his first-ever race posting a time of 49.5.
In the 800 meters he finished second in the south region and recorded the 24th fastest time in the country. Agyemang-Duah made Lions' athletics history on Saturday, April 26, when he became the first track athlete to provisionally qualify for the NCAA Championships, doing so in the 800.
During the season, season Agyemang-Duah recorded three first place finishes and a ninth place finish in his four 800-meter starts.
Matuszczak was named to the All-Region team in the 10,000-meter run. He finished first in the event in the south region beating the second place finisher by almost 30 seconds.
Tancic, like Agyemang-Duah, was honored in multiple events; the 1,500-meter and 5,000-meter run.
In the 1,500, Tancic finished third in the south region. In the 5,000 meters, she came close to capturing the top time in the south region in her 17:43.11 debut.
Maxwell earned All-Region honors in the 800 meters finishing fifth in the south.
The USTFCCCA is a non-profit professional organization representing cross country and track & field coaches of all levels. The organization represents over 8,000 coaching members encompassing 94% of all NCAA track & field programs (DI, DII, and DIII) and includes members representing the NAIA as well as a number of state high school coaches associations.

Magnet RaceScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
Fred and Bob are racing cylindrical magnets down tubes of various materials. All of the magnets weigh the same and have the same dimensions. All of the tubes are the same length and have an inner diameter just larger than the outer diameter of the magnets. There is negligible friction when the magnets travel through the tubes.
Since they don't want the magnets to get stuck, Fred and Bob are using non-ferrous materials that magnets won't stick to. They have one tube for each material: wood, glass, aluminum, and plastic. Each of the tubes is set up at the same angle with respect to the floor and they are all in the same room on Earth.
Assuming they have a perfect method of timing each run, which tube has the longest time?
AnswerThe aluminum tube will give you the longest time. Even though aluminum is non-ferrous, it is still a good conductor, and therefore feels the induced flux of the Faraday effect.
The moving magnet causes a current in the aluminum tube, which in turn creates a system wherein the magnet is attracted to the non-ferrous aluminum, causing it to slow down.
If you are in secondary school or college, the physics department will probably have a demonstration that shows exactly this. The demos are sold with two cylinders that look alike and weigh the same, but one is a magnet and the other isn't. The idea is that you can see how the magnet falls through the tube at a slower rate than the non-magnet.

A PAIR of thugs have been given long prison sentences after beating up a man in Chelmsford last June.
Gary Watts, 47, of Manor Road, Grays, and Michael Davis, 40, of West Avenue, Melbourne estate, Chelmsford, were given 12 and ten year jail terms respectively after assaulting a man in his 50s.
On June 25 the pair entered the victim's home in Murchison Close and beat him up.
They were both charged with GBH with intent.
Police are now looking for a third man suspected to be involved in the same attack.
Dc Martin Amundsen said: "We know there are potential witnesses who may be reluctant to come forward but knowing these two men have now received prison sentences may give them some reassurance to tell us what they know and provide us with the name of the third person involved in the assault."
Anyone with information should contact Dc Amundsen at Chelmsford CID on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

If Lockheed Martin is to be believed, there's not much wrong with the F-35 program. In a briefing here yesterday, vice president F-35 business development Steve O'Bryan stuck doggedly to the company mantra that development is moving right along, with plenty of accomplishments despite the slow pace of flight testing. Behind-the-scenes though, Monday's dramatic announcements by Secretary of Defense Robert Gates suggest that a new schedule and a consequent revision of the unit cost estimate is pending. This may hold some nasty surprises, especially for the international partners.
In the meantime, O'Bryan insisted that the date of 2012 for initial operational capability for the U.S. Marine Corps is still valid. He explained that Secretary Gates had allocated an extra $2.8 billion of F-35 funding for the system design and development (SDD) phase. Lockheed Martin would use the extra money to build an additional carrier-capable F-35C and to "increase software productivity."
O'Bryan further noted that the low-rate initial production aircraft that are now moving down the production line included all the hardware necessary to achieve the end-of-SDD performance that Lockheed Martin has promised. "They're waiting only for the software load," he added. And software development is proceeding well on the "Catbird"–the converted Boeing 737 that serves as a surrogate F-35, with 20 flight-test and software engineers on board, and even a complete F-35 cockpit plus pilot. This aircraft has recently been generating high-fidelity synthetic aperture radar images and testing the electronic warfare system.
But although O'Bryan announced the first flight of the third F-35B short takeoff and vertical landing aircraft at Fort Worth Tuesday, he could not disguise the slow progress that the first two F-35Bs have made toward actually demonstrating STOVL in practice. The first vertical landing is scheduled for "later this year," he said. However, BF-1 has now performed an in-flight transition to powered lift and down to 120 knots with the lift fan engaged, he noted.
According to O'Bryan, static testing has gone well and the missions systems are "maturing well." The U.S. Government Accountability Office has repeatedly suggested that there is too much concurrency in the F-35 program between development and production. The Pentagon's F-35 joint program office (JPO) and Lockheed Martin have always challenged that view. Insofar as Secretary Gates made no change to the number of jets that are funded for production in 2011, he is still following the advice from the JPO and Lockheed Martin. But on Monday he fired the Marine general running the JPO. As for Lockheed Martin, despite O'Bryan's assertion that the company is "focusing on execution," there is no sign that heads will roll at Fort Worth.
Partners Still Onboard and in the Loop
The eight international partners are still fully committed to the F-35, according to Lockheed Martin vice president F-35 business development Steve O'Bryan. Of the two countries that enjoy "level-three status" and therefore receive ongoing classified information, Israel is negotiating a production contract and Singapore is "ramping up its interest," he said. Meanwhile, Japan and Korea are also showing interest in the F-35, and Belgium, Finland, and Greece have all recently received classified briefings.
Lockheed Martin said the F-35 is the only fifth-generation combat aircraft that is available internationally. "There are many strengths in developing our international partnerships…we can pool resources," O'Bryan said.
Pratt Denies Part in F-35 Pitfalls
Pratt & Whitney president Tom Farmer here in Singapore yesterday denied any responsibility for the recent F-35 flight test delays. He acknowledged that the U.S. government had identified 16 "items of interest" in the F135 turbofan, of which four were judged significant, but they subsequently have been cleared, and the flight test engines are demonstrating excellent reliability, performance and thrust response.
After 13,000 hours of testing, P&W has delivered the first production-standard engine for a conventional F-35A aircraft. The initial service release for the STOVL engine for the F-35B would be achieved by late summer, Farmer added.

Mat Weights: Bears
about 206 BC-AD 9
Bronze with remains of gilding, 15.5 cm
Location: Early Italian Room
Accession Number: S15w15.1-2
Delightfully naturalistic, these two bears sit heavily and somewhat awkwardly on the ground. With one hind leg tucked under, each one opens its mouth in a friendly growl. The carefully observed depiction of the animals cannily matches their original function, for these bronzes were meant to weight down the corners of straw or textile mats that were placed on low platforms for seating. Made in sets of four, mat weights have been excavated in aristocratic tombs of the Han dynasty. Often finely crafted, they appear to be highly prized personal possessions of daily use that were buried with their owners to represent the continuity between the living world and the afterlife.
Bears emerged as favored subjects in the art and literature of the Western Han dynasty. They may have had been associated with protective nature spirits, although real bears could also have been seen in the royal zoo of the emperor Wudi (ca. 140–87 BC) at the capital Chang'an (present-day Xi'an). In fact, the bears in the Gardner Museum, which are unusually large mat weights, were apparently found near Xi'an in 1900.
