Tewacha was the fabled city of the gods located in the southern House of Tezca desert in Maztica.
In approximately 350 DR, the gods desired a location for a battle they intended to fight so they commanded their human subjects to construct a great pyramid.[1] The pyramid was over six hundred feet high and even in 1361 DR it remained in pristine condition. Although legend held that humans never dwelt in Tewacha, there was evidence of human habitation of the city, including tombs.[2]

For the first time in nearly four decades, Honda Canada is selling a five-door Honda Civic hatchback. Not since the last millennium has Honda Canada offered a Civic with a tailgate. That car, often seen lowered, with a coffee can exhaust pipe, and Mugen stickers, is not this car.
+ Huge cargo area
+ Powerful 1.5T
+ CVT is mostly inoffensive
+ Decent value quotient
+ Substantial structure
– Ghastly exterior
– Odd interior controls
– Rather firm ride on 16s
– Poor visibility
– Noisy Hankooks
Forget the sedan. That's the Civic everyone else buys. In Canada, with the Civic lineup accounting for 10% of all passenger car sales, do you really need to drive the Civic that everyone else already drives?
The Civic coupe, meanwhile, is undeniably the most stylish member of the trio. But while the rear seat is decent, it's not sufficiently practical for your lifestyle.
You want that turbocharged powerplant. You don't mind driving the antithesis of vehicular beauty. You need flexibility. Finally, the most popular car in Canada is available in the bodystyle you require.
This is the 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback, with 75% more cargo capacity than the 2017 Honda Civic sedan.
Canadian pricing for the new Civic Hatchback starts at $23,085. That's $5000 beyond the base price of the Civic sedan, but don't be fooled. Those two price points aren't comparable. There's no DX trim in the hatch, for one thing, and the hatch comes standard with the 1.5L turbocharged engine that's not even available on the sedan until you reach the EX-T at $26,885. Plus, Honda Canada has not yet made the sedan available with the 1.5T and a manual shifter. Like for like, a Civic LX sedan with the continuously variable automatic transmission is $22,285, making the turbo hatchback a $2100 proposition.

The Civic Hatchback range currently tops out with the Sport Touring: $31,085 with the 6-speed manual; $32,385 with the CVT. Expect a hi-po Civic Type R to be made available exclusively in the hatchback bodystyle later next year.
Our tester, supplied by Honda Canada, is the 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback LX with the continuously variable transmission in White Orchid.
You know how big the Civic sedan is. You can't pull out of your driveway without seeing six of them (or driving one of them). Riding on an identical wheelbase, the hatchback loses 4.4 inches of overall length, stands nearly an inch taller, and is identically wide. The shape change, however, results in 728 litres of cargo capacity, 75% more than the sedan's 416-litre trunk. And it's useable space, despite the ridiculous angle of the rear windscreen indicating otherwise.
Seats folded, the Civic Hatchback's cargo area expands to 1308 litres.
Curious about what an SUV could do for you? With similar exterior length, the outgoing 2016 Honda CR-V offers 45% more cargo capacity than the Civic Hatchback with the seats up; 53% more with the seats folded. Downsizing to a Honda Fit, a subcompact that's 17 inches shorter, bumper to bumper, than the Civic Hatchback, would result in the loss of 258 litres of cargo capacity, although official specs say the minivan-shaped Fit has more space with the seats folded.
Relative to other compact cars, the Honda Civic – as a hatchback or not – has three main traits that work well, three that don't.
Given its tiny size, the 1.5T is a beastly powerplant. The official specs don't adequately convey the degree to which all of the four-cylinder's torque is almost always available. Linked here to a CVT that reduces fun but doesn't go out of its way to annoy you, it's certain that this would be a ball of fun with the optional, cheaper, manual transmission. Remember that this is the basic Civic Hatchback. The last Civic SiR that came over from Britain more than a decade ago produced 14 fewer horses.
Though the Civic lacks the tactile feedback of the Mazda 3 we reviewed a week ago, this proves to be a thoroughly competent car when called upon to overperform. Brake performance is impressive, turn-in is surprisingly immediate, cornering is flat, and the Civic always feels like it's ready to give a little more, to go a little quicker. In our example, a base LX with 16-inch wheels, the Civic Hatchback is hardly a hot hatch. But the foundation is obvious.
The Civic's responsiveness stems from the car's impressive structural rigidity. Absent is the sensation you receive from nearly all of the Honda's competitors that the doors are too light and tinny. The Civic is not a heavy car, but it feels weighty and significant, not like an $18,000 compact car. It's easier to make a stiff car handle well. It's also easier to make a stiff car sell for a higher price four years down the road.
Unfortunately, apart from space and comfort, the Civic is something of a mess inside. Visibility is poor in the hatch, but visibility sucks in most cars these days. No, the bigger problem isn't behind you – it's right in front. The touchscreen includes audio controls and offers no haptic feedback. Even the audio controller on the steering wheel is a nonsensical slider that could just as easily have you blasting SiriusXM's Kids Place Live as turning down the volume to a hush. It's an all-around ineffective system, not just from an audio perspective.

Those Hankooks are, as already mentioned, only 16-inchers on this LX car. Yet the Civic rides quite firmly, unnecessarily so. If the intention is to convey a sense of sportiness, Honda ought to reserve that sense for the Sport model. The wheelbase of the Mazda 3 is an identical 106.3 inches, yet the Mazda rides better and handles more adroitly, as well.
Most definitely. The Civic Hatchback hasn't been available for long and availability remains somewhat limited, but Automotive News reports that imported-from-Britain Civics made up 610 of the 4605 Civics sold in Canada in November, for example. (Civic sedan/coupe sales fell 21 percent, year-over-year.)
610 sales in November would make the Civic Hatchback more popular than the Nissan Versa, Toyota Yaris, Audi A4, Mini Cooper, and Honda's own Ridgeline pickup truck.
American Honda and Honda Canada don't offer a complete breakdown of Civic sales by bodystyle. The entire Civic lineup is Canada's best-selling car in 2016, which will be its 19th consecutive year at the top of the leaderboard. The Civic is currently America's third-best-selling car.
We've suddenly arrived at a point in the industry where compact hatchbacks are the norm. The scion iM has become the Toyota Corolla iM, a hatchback Corolla. There's a new hatchback version of the second-generation Chevrolet Cruze. The Ford Focus, Kia Forte, Mitsubishi Lancer, Mazda 3, and Subaru Impreza continue to be available as sedans and hatchbacks. The Volkswagen Golf is a preeminent example of the breed. Hyundai will bring another hatchback into the new Elantra's fold. With the Civic adding a hatch, the Nissan Sentra stands out from the pack.
Keen drivers should pay particular attention to the Golf, Mazda 3, and Focus. The Subaru Impreza's standard all-wheel drive is a big selling point for many buyers. The Forte's value quotient is high. Questionable styling aside, the Civic does an impressive job of standing in the midst as an affordable, spacious, fun to drive compact hatchback, but with the kind of name recognition that garners Honda a fair number of automatic sales.
With a car this unnaturally unattractive, the Sport model does a great job of covering up some of the Civic Hatchback's faults. With a dose of extra power and a manual transmission, it'd be a blast to drive, as well.
At $26,885 and advertised five-year rates at 2.99%, expect a monthly payment of around $555, depending on your tax jurisdiction.
I can't hide the fact that I believe the Civic Hatchback would be a better package, and a better-looking package, if Honda elongated the roof just as Volkswagen always has with the Golf.
I also can't deny that there are a bunch of reasons that explain why the Honda Civic is still Canada's best-selling car. The structure is stiff, creating the atmosphere of premium solidity missing in many competitors. Pricing is sane; equipment levels are acceptable. Even with a continuously variable automatic, the transmission is inoffensive. While the Civic lacks the Mazda 3's level of engagement and too many of the Civic's controls are awkward to operate, the overall sense is of a car that ought to cost a bit more than its MSRP.
In five-door form, all of the qualities that make the regular Civic sedan an obvious purchase for 5,600 Canadians every month are present. But there's a level of functionality in the hatch that's not available in other Civics.
As a result, the Honda Civic Hatchback is the best version of Canada's best-selling car.

City News
Balboa Peninsula Trolley
Ride for free each Saturday and Sunday through September 3
The City will offer a free transportation option on the Balboa Peninsula during busy summer weekends. The Balboa Peninsula Trolley will begin service on Saturday, June 17 to help visitors and locals easily travel along and explore the Peninsula.
The trolley is scheduled to operate each Saturday and Sunday through September 3, 2017. The hours of operation are from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. It will also be in service on the Fourth of July holiday and will have extended hours - from 7:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. - that day only.
With 18 designated stops along the route, trolley users will be able to comfortably explore the Peninsula and its wide range of retail and dining opportunities or spend the day at the beach without having to worry about finding parking.
"During the summer, the Peninsula often becomes a challenge for those seeking parking to visit the beach or many of our wonderful restaurants and businesses," Councilmember Diane Dixon stated. "The trolley allows our residents and visitors an opportunity to move around the Peninsula without having to worry about finding a place to park or losing their parking place. This service has been envisioned for many years and I am ecstatic we finally found a way to make it happen."
Free parking is available for trolley users in the lower Hoag Hospital parking lot at Hoag Drive and Coast Highway. A trolley is scheduled to pick up users at every stop in 15-minute intervals, depending on conditions. Users are invited to climb aboard or exit the trolley at any of the stops along the way to and from the Balboa Pier and Fun Zone area. For those planning a day at the beach, the trolley can accommodate bicycles, surfboards under six-feet long, and beach gear.
Users can obtain real-time locations of the trolleys online at peninsulatrolley.com or by downloading the mobile app, Ride Systems, and searching for Newport Beach from its list of agencies.
The City received funding for the trolley service through a competitive grant process from the Orange County Transportation Authority's Measure M2 Project V-Community Based Transit Circulators. The City was awarded $685,454 in grant funding for a seven-year operating period and is required to match the funding by 12 percent. The grant program was provided for local agencies to develop transit services to meet the needs in areas not adequately served by regional transit.
For additional information on the trolley, visit newportbeachca.gov/trolley.

Went to a party in downtown San Diego and decided to grab a hotel room for one night on Hotwire so that I wouldn't have to drive.
Ended up getting the Westgate Hotel, which is older but well-maintained and still somewhat elegant, in an old school sort of way.
Service was outstanding and the staff was very professional and polite. The front desk agent upgraded us to room 1496 on the 14th floor which had a great city and partial bay view and was surprisingly large. This room was clean, comfortable and quiet.
Only slight negatives were parking, which is expensive (I didn't have to pay it though, as I have downtown parking already), and a $15 "facilities fee". At least, that fee did include internet access via wi-fi, which normally costs extra. It also includes bottled water in your room.
The location is outstanding. Just across the street from the Horton Plaza shopping center and a short walk to the Gaslamp District (and 2 blocks from my office, for what it's worth). Cruise ship terminal is maybe 10 blocks away, so it's also close, but a cab might be better for those with bags.
I enjoyed my brief stay at the Westgate. The price was very fair for a hotel of this quality. Comfort and service were top notch. It comes highly recommended!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Westgate offers the ease and pleasures of the world's finest metropolitan hotels, and the best of Southern California! Minutes from the airport or the San Diego Convention Center, steps from the trolley/train station and readily accessible by freeway. Within walking distance is the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Opera and the Symphony, Horton Plaza shops and Gaslamp Quarter energy. Return to the quiet of your private room and relax in luxury, then consider a visit to Le Spa or the Fitness Center, a glass of wine in the intimate Plaza Bar, or an elegant dining experience graciously served in The Westgate Room. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Booking.com, Travelocity, Hotels.com, Expedia, Orbitz, Priceline, Cancelon, Hotwire, getaroom.com and TripOnline SA so you can book your The Westgate Hotel reservations with confidence.

GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP - Northwestern University men's soccer coach Tim Lenahan returned to his roots at Richard Stockton College on Saturday for the South Jersey Soccer Festival at G. Larry James Stadium.
Lenahan, a former Stockton soccer player, went on to become an Ospreys assistant coach for five years and head coach for eight years.
The South Jersey Soccer Festival is held at Stockton every two years, and this time it was a bit more special because Northwestern is the defending Big Ten champion. Lenahan was named the Big Ten Coach of the Year in 2011.
The Wildcats played an exhibition game with Rutgers University, another outstanding NCAA Division I program that won the Big East Tournament last year and reached the round of 16 in the NCAA Tournament.
"I get back to (South Jersey) at least five times a year," Lenahan said before the game. "Stockton is very special to me. We come back every two years, so half of my team has never been here. They really like the shore, and they love playing a mini-golf tournament every night in Ocean City on the Boardwalk.
"Since we're the Big Ten champions, we hope to start off where we left off. We have only 14 or 15 days in the preseason, and this is only our second practice game. We played at Monmouth University in our first game and lost 3-1. It was like an early preseason NFL game because we substituted a lot."
Northwestern has only two New Jersey players, but they both played an important role in the exhibition game. The Wildcats' goalie was Tyler Miller, a Bishop Eustace graduate and a member of this year's Ocean City Nor'easters soccer team. Teammate Nick Gendron, from Ramsey High School in Bergen County, scored the game's only goal on a header in front in the third minute of play. Northwestern won the exhibition game 1-0.
Miller prepared his teammates for the trip by telling them about southern New Jersey.
"I've been coming to the shore with my family ever since I was a young child," the 19-year-old sophomore from Woodbury said. "It was great to be with the Nor'easters this summer. They're a great group of guys.
"What we (Northwestern) have to do in the preseason is develop chemistry and play together."
Brian and Cindy Miller, Tyler's parents, watched from the stands with other family members and friends. They said Tyler used to play on the Pittsgrove Premier traveling soccer team with two of the Rutgers players - former St. Augustine Prep star Connor Hurff and Rancocas Valley Regional alumnus Bobby Spracklin.
Hurff, the 2010 Press Player of the Year, was injured last year and redshirted. Scott Hurff, his father, watched his son warm up before the game.
"It's exciting," Scott Hurff said. "All the work he's put into it, it's nice to see it get rewarded."
One of the key Northwestern players is junior Lepe Seetane, of Lesotho, who has a pulled hamstring but should be ready for the regular season. The 5-foot-2 forward scored five goals last year.
"I played here (at Stockton) when I was a freshman," Seetane said. "It's exhausting in the preseason with two practices a day. A game like this is great. You get to see if something works or if it doesn't. We had a good season last year, but losing in the (NCAA) first round was disappointing. We definitely go further in the tournament this year."
Leah Braidi, Jess McQuillen, Cara Parliament, Rachel Carlson and other members of the Stockton women's soccer team sold refreshments.
Stockton men's soccer coach Jeff Haines, a longtime friend of Lenahan, was one of the key organizers of the event.
"This gives the fans in our area a chance to see really good Division I soccer," Haines said. "It gives our players a chance to see if they can pick up a few things. We have a great facility here and other coaches have contacted us. Maybe next time we do this we can have a doubleheader."

|Is Schrödinger's Cat in Pandora's Box?
|Faced with a new universe, thoughtful man must do one of two things: deny such man-made hypotheses and take refuge in the faith of his fathers; or accept them and begin again where Adam had begun to frame his aesthetics, his ethics, his metaphysics by a new appeal to Nature, as he rethought the world and the universe from which he deduced them.
|Marjorie Hope Nicolson
The Breaking of the Circle
by Ursula K. Le Guin
As things appear to be coming to some sort of climax, I have withdrawn
to this place. It is cooler here, and nothing moves fast.
Nowhere, evidently. Yet the impulse to narrate remains. Many things are not worth doing, but almost anything is worth telling. In any case, I have a severe congenital case of Ethica laboris puritanica,1 or Adam's Disease. It is incurable except by total decapitation. I even like to dream when asleep, and to try and recall my dreams: it assures me that I haven't wasted seven or eight hours just lying there. Now here I am, lying, here. Hard at it.
Well, the couple I was telling you about finally broke up. The pieces of him trotted around bouncing and cheeping, like little chicks, but she was finally reduced to nothing but a mass of nerves: rather like fine chicken wire, in fact, but hopelessly tangled.
So I came on, placing one foot carefully in front of the other, and grieving. This grief is with me still. I fear it is part of me, like foot or loin or eye, or may even be myself: for I seem to have no other self, nothing further, nothing that lies outside the borders of grief.
Yet I don't know what I grieve for: my wife? my husband? my children, or myself? I can't remember. Most dreams are forgotten, try as one will to remember. Yet later music strikes the note, and the harmonic rings along the mandolin strings of the mind, and we find tears in our eyes. Some note keeps playing that makes me want to cry; but what for? I am not certain.
The yellow cat, who may have belonged to the couple that broke up, is dreaming. His paws twitch now and then, and once he makes a small, suppressed remark with his mouth shut. I wonder what cats dream of, and to whom he was speaking just then. Cats seldom waste words. They are quiet beasts. They keep their counsel, they reflect. They reflect all day, and at night their eyes reflect. Overbred Siamese cats may be as noisy as little dogs, and then people say, "They're talking," but the noise is farther from speech than is the deep silence of the hound or tabby. All this cat can say is meow, but maybe in his silences he will suggest to me what it is that I have lost, what I am grieving for. I have a feeling that he knows. That's why he came here. Cats look out for Number One.
It was getting awfully hot. I mean, you could touch less and less. The stove burners, for instance. Now I know that stove burners always used to get hot; that was their final cause, they existed in order to get hot. But they began to get hot without having been turned on. Electric units or gas rings, there they'd be when you came into the kitchen for breakfast, all four of them glaring away, the air above them shaking like clear jelly with the heat waves. It did no good to turn them off, because they weren't on in the first place. Besides, the knobs and dials were also hot, uncomfortable to the touch.
Some people tried to cool them off. The favorite technique was to turn them on. It worked sometimes, but you could not count on it. Others investigated the phenomenon, tried to get at the root of it, the cause. They were probably the most frightened ones, but man is most human at his most frightened. In the face of the hot stove burners they acted with exemplary coolness. They studied. They observed. They were like the fellow in Michelangelo's Last Judgment, who has clapped his hands over his face in horror as the devils drag him down to Hellbut only over one eye. The other eye is busy looking. It's all he can do, but he does it. He observes. Indeed, one wonders if Hell would exist, if he did not look at it. However, neither he, nor the people I am talking about, had enough time left to do much about it. And then finally of course there were the people who did not try to do or think anything about it at all.
When the water came out of the cold-water taps hot one morning, however, even people who had blamed it all on the Democrats began to feel a more profound unease. Before long, forks and pencils and wrenches were too hot to handle without gloves; and cars were really terrible. It was like opening the door of an oven going full blast, to open the door of your car. And by then, other people almost scorched your fingers off. A kiss was like a branding iron. Your child's hair flowed along your hand like fire.
Here, as I said, it is cooler; and, as a matter of fact, this animal is cool. A real cool cat. No wonder it's pleasant to pet his fur. Also he moves slowly, at least for the most part, which is all the slowness one can reasonably expect of a cat. He hasn't that frenetic quality most creatures acquiredall they did was ZAP and gone. They lacked presence. I suppose birds always tended to be that way, but even the hummingbird used to halt for a second in the very center of his metabolic frenzy, and hang, still as a hub, present, above the fuchsiasthen gone again, but you knew something was there besides the blurring brightness. But it got so that even robins and pigeons, the heavy impudent birds, were a blur; and as for swallows, they cracked the sound barrier. You knew swallows only by the small, curved sonic booms that looped about the eaves of old houses in the evening.
Worms shot like subway trains through the dirt of gardens, among the writhing roots of roses.
You could scarcely lay a hand on children, by then: too fast to catch, too hot to hold. They grew up before your eyes.
But then, maybe that's always been true.
I was interrupted by the cat, who woke and said meow once, then jumped down from my lap and leaned against my legs diligently. This is a cat who knows how to get fed. He also knows how to jump. There was a lazy fluidity to his leap, as if gravity affected him less than it does other creatures. As a matter of fact there were some localised cases, just before I left, of the failure of gravity; but this quality in the cat's leap was something quite else. I am not yet in such a state of confusion that I can be alarmed by grace. Indeed, I found it reassuring. While I was opening a can of sardines, a person arrived.
Hearing the knock, I thought it might be the mailman. I miss mail very much, so I hurried to the door and said, "Is it the mail?"
A voice replied, "Yah!" I opened the door. He came in, almost pushing me aside in his haste. He dumped down to enormous knapsacks he had been carrying, straightened up, massaged his shoulders, and said, "Wow!"
"How did you get here?"
He stared at me and repeated, "How?"
At this my thoughts concerning human and animal speech recurred to me, and I decided that this was probably not a man, but a small dog. (Large dogs seldom go yah, wow, how, unless it is appropriate to do so.)
"Come on, fella," I coaxed him. "Come, come on, that's a boy, good doggie!" I opened a can of pork and beans for him at once, for he looked half starved. He ate voraciously, gulping and lapping. When it was gone he said "Wow!" several times. I was just about to scratch him behind the ears when he stiffened, his hackles bristling, and growled deep in his throat. He had noticed the cat.
The cat had noticed him some time before, without interest, and was now sitting on a copy of The Well-Tempered Clavier washing sardine oil off its whiskers.
"Wow!" the dog whom I had thought of calling Rover, barked. "Wow! Do you know what that is? That's Schrödinger's cat!"
"No it's not, not any more; it's my cat," I said, unreasonably offended.
"Oh, well, Schrödinger's dead, of course, but it's his cat. I've seen hundreds of pictures of it. Erwin Schrödinger, the great physicist, you know. Oh, wow! To think of finding it here!"
The cat looked coldly at him for a moment, and began to wash its left shoulder with negligent energy. An almost religious expression had come into Rover's face. "It was meant," he said in a low, impressive tone. "Yah. It was meant. It can't be a mere coincidence. It's too improbable. Me, with the box; you, with the cat; to meetherenow." He looked up at me, his eyes shining with happy fervor. "Isn't it wonderful?" he said. "I'll get the box set up right away." And he started to tear open his huge knapsack.
While the cat washed its front paws, Rover unpacked. While the cat washed its tail and belly, regions hard to reach gracefully, Rover put together what he had unpacked, a complex task. When he and the cat finished their operations simultaneously and looked at me, I was impressed. They had come out even, to the very second. Indeed it seemed that something more than chance was involved. I hoped it was not myself.
"What's that?" I asked, pointing to a protuberance on the outside
of the box. I did not ask what the box was as it was quite clearly a box.
The gun," Rover said with excited pride.
"The gun?"
"To shoot the cat."
"To shoot the cat?"
"Or to not shoot the cat. Depending on the photon."
"The photon?"
"Yah! It's Schrödinger's great Gedankenexperiment. You see, there's a little emitter here. At Zero Time, five seconds after the lid of the box is closed, it will emit one photon. The photon will strike a half-silvered mirror. The quantum mechanical probability of the photon passing through the mirror is exactly one half, isn't it? So! If the photon passes through, the trigger will be activated and the gun will fire. If the photon is deflected, the trigger will not be activated and the gun will not fire. Now, you put the cat in. The cat is in the box. You close the lid. You go away! You stay away! What happens?" Rover's eyes were bright.
"The cat gets hungry?"
"The cat gets shotor not shot," he said seizing my arm, though not, fortunately, in his teeth. "But the gun is silent, perfectly silent. The box is soundproof. There is no way to know whether or not the cat has been shot until you lift the lid of the box. There is no way! Do you see how central this is to the whole of quantum theory? Before Zero Time the whole system, on the quantum level or on our own level, is nice and simple. But after Zero Time the whole system can be represented only by a linear combination of two waves. We cannot predict the behavior of the photon, and thus, once it has behaved, we cannot predict the state of the system it has determined. We cannot predict it! God plays dice with the world! So it is beautifully demonstrated that if you desire certainty, any certainty, you must create it yourself!"
"By lifting the lid of the box, of course," Rover said, looking at me with sudden disappointment, perhaps a touch of suspicion, like a Baptist who finds he has been talking church matters not to another Baptist as he thought, but a Methodist, or even, God forbid, an Episcopalian. "To find out whether the cat is dead or not."
"Do you mean," I said carefully, "that until you lift the lid of the box, the cat has neither been shot nor not been shot?"
"Yah!" Rover said, radiant with relief, welcoming back to the fold. "Or maybe, you know, both."
"But why does opening the box and looking reduce the system back to one probability, either live cat or dead cat? Why don't we get included in the system when we lift the lid of the box?"
There was a pause. "How?" Rover barked, distrustfully.
"Well, we would involve ourselves in the system, you see, the superposition of the two waves. There's no reason why it should only exist inside an open box, is there? So when we came to look, there we would be, you and I, both looking at a live cat, and both looking at a dead cat. You see?"
A dark cloud lowered on Rover's eyes and brow. He barked twice in a subdued, harsh voice, and walked away. With his back turned to me he said in a firm, sad tone, "You must not complicate the issue. It is complicated enough."
"Are you sure?"
He nodded. Turning, he spoke pleadingly. "Listen. It's all we havethe box. Truly it is. The box. And the cat. And they're here. The box, the cat, at last. Put the cat in the box. Will you? Will you let me put the cat in the box.
"No," I said, shocked.
"Please. Please. Just for a minute. Just for half a minute! Please let me put the cat in the box!"
"I can't stand this terrible uncertainty," he said, and burst into tears.
I stood with some indecision. Though I felt sorry for the poor son of a bitch, I was about to tell him, gently, No; when a curious thing happened. The cat walked over to the box, sniffed around it, lifted his tail and sprayed a corner to mark his territory, and then lightly, with that marvelous fluid ease, leapt into it. His yellow tail just flicked the edge of the lid as he jumped, and it closed, falling into place with a soft, decisive click.
"The cat is in the box," I said.
"The cat is in the box," Rover repeated in a whisper, falling to his knees. "Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Oh, wow."
There was silence then: deep silence. We both gazed, I afoot, Rover kneeling, at the box. No sound. Nothing happened. Nothing would happen. Nothing would ever happen, until we lifted the lid of the box.
"Like Pandora," I said in a weak whisper. I could not quite recall Pandora's legend. She had let all the plagues and evils out of the box, of course, but there had been something else, too. After all the devils were let loose, something quite different, quite unexpected, had been left. What had it been? Hope? A dead cat? I could not remember.
Impatience welled up in me. I turned on Rover, glaring. He returned the look with expressive brown eyes. You can't tell me dogs haven't got souls.
"Just exactly what are you trying to prove?" I demanded.
"That the cat will be dead, or not dead," he murmured submissively. "Certainty. All I want is certainty. To know for sure that God does play dice with the world."
I looked at him for a while with fascinated incredulity. "Whether he does, or doesn't," I said, "do you think he's going to leave you a note in the box?" I went to the box, and with a rather dramatic gesture, flung the lid back. Rover staggered up from his knees, gasping, to look. The cat was, of course, not there.
Rover neither barked, nor fainted, nor cursed, nor wept. He really took it very well.
"Where is the cat?" he asked at last.
"Where is the box?"
"Where's here?"
"Here is now."
"We used to think so," I said, "but really we should use larger boxes."
He gazed about in mute bewilderment, and did not flinch even when the roof of the house was lifted off just like the lid of the box, letting in the unconscionable, inordinate light of the stars. He had just time to breathe, "Oh, wow!"
I have identified the note that keeps sounding. I checked it on the mandolin before the glue melted. It is the note A, the one that drove the composer Schumann mad. It is a beautiful, clear tone, much clearer now that the stars are visible. I shall miss the cat. I wonder if he found what it was we lost?

I just pulled into a Hampton Inn in Debuque Iowa after two days on Interstate 90 in a Freightliner truck . I am working on the Stihl Timbersports Lumberjack Competition series that shows on ESPN II in December of most years. This is the preliminary where we whittle down the field. I have been doing this for about 11 years or so.
This is our second year at this Riverfest venue right on the Mississippi. Along with us and a gang of other events are The Doobie Brothers (whomever is left I guess) and if I heard right, Randy Travis. If this year is anything like last year I will be a bit ragged after our event so I don't go out at night much past the amount no time it takes to eat dinner. Last year I slept though the band, Styx.
Speaking of dinner - some observations:
The outfit I work for pays for everything while we are here, and on the way, including food, so don't hold back on the steaks and prime rib. What's the old saying: "You got the horses, you gotta feed'em". I think that's it.
Ah, but I am not the only beneficiary of all this travel.
When we pull into a Pilot Station or other truck stop to diesel up, something bizarre happens. At least I think so.
English Sparrows fly right up and under your truck grill and pick the June bugs, dragon flies, and moths, right off the hot radiator.
I remember years back birds coming up and looking on the ground around truck grills and sometimes picking up bugs on the outside of the trucks, actually going inside the grill is new to me. What resourceful little devils they are. Crows just walk along the sides of highways picking up bugs cars hit, and people consider crows pretty smart.
I suppose English Sparrows are not what you would call "top of the line" bird watching material among true birders. They are around any place people live or eat and are about as common as black top. But for those little birds to figure out how to get a hot meal for free without having to drive the truck - well they have me beat!

Walking Dead 3×06 Collision With Woodbury Spoilers11/13/2012
The Walking Dead: Scoop on Rick and the Governor from Entertainment Weekly's Sandra Gonzalez
Here's some scoop on The Walking Dead from Entertainment Weekly's Sandra Gonzalez's The Spoiler Room column, which was posted on 11/12/12.
The collision with Woodbury is coming and Lauren Cohan couldn't be more excited for fans of The Walking Dead to see it for themselves. "Maggie plays a big part in that," she teases of the clash. "It's going to be crazy!"
Crazy — and deadly, as one might expect. "The body count is not done," she says. "That's pretty much all I can say, but we're not just going to see death. There's going to be a whole host of challenges now that we've got the human threat. Woodbury is up to no good. The Governor is up to no good; it's really scary. We've got some scary stuff ahead."
And with the gang and Rick still reeling from at least two major losses (Carol = RIP?), exactly who will step up as the leader when the two camps finally meet is not entirely clear. The only guarantee? They're going to have a formidable foe in the Gov. "It's interesting to see within the prison [group that] people step up and lead even if they don't want to. In Woodbury, the Governor steps up and takes control because that's something he couldn't have gotten away with in the real world. And that has absolutely no limits."
The Walking Dead returns with 3×06 'Hounded,' on Sunday 18, 2012 at 9pm on AMC.
In The Walking Dead, 3×06 'Hounded,' Rick returns to check on Carl, while the gang prepares to make an ammo and formula run. Clearing out the lower levels of the prison are also on the agenda. Despite seeing the Walker Gladiator Arena, Andrea grows more infatuated with the Governor. Now that they girls have gone their separate ways, Michonne makes a decision about what to do next.

According to Wikipedia:
In one common form of synesthesia, known as grapheme → colour synesthesia or colour-graphemic synesthesia, letters or numbers are perceived as inherently coloured.
My thought is whether artificially helping people associate letters with colours, can increase the speed of reading, specifically, in 'specially prepared' texts read from a computer screen, but I'm also interested in whether it might persist away from there.
Most people read by pattern matching the first two letters (ish) of a word – it's how the neolism Typoglycemia works: for how you can largely understand:
"Amzanig huh? Yaeh and you awlyas thguoht slpeling was ipmorantt."
Often though, we're reading text on a computer, that the computer can help us with. That is to say, a webpage, an email, an ebook. Computer manufacturers spend a lot of time developing typefaces that are easy to read, and hard to confuse the letters of (Google even came up with an entire typeface for Android).
But it's not always possible or desirable to read things in typefaces that are different from the original,
My theory is that the brain can probably increase its word-based pattern matching skills, by assigning each letter of the alphabet a shade of colour.
This might sound like the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard or seen, but if you consider that programmers used syntax highlighting to quickly derive extra meaning from great blocks of text – it seems more reasonable that there might be some way of using colours to improve up pattern matching when reading words.
So take a look at this prototype colourphabet I just threw together.
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
You're not the only one thinking "this is much harder to read than 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog'" and I don't propose that I've solved this, or got anything more than the start of a stupid-sounding idea.
I wonder if it might better apply with different colour pallets, or perhaps colour pallets applied to different words in sentences – perhaps based on adjective/verb/etc… or something else?
How would you improve it? I'd love to hear your ideas!

Mcdonalds Heat Olympics Sponsorship
January 17, 2012 by staff
Mcdonalds Heat Olympics Sponsorship, McDonald's announced it would continue its sponsorship through 2020, a deal estimated at about $100 million per four years, or for every pair (winter and summer) of Olympic Games.
But for years, various organizations have protested McDonald's sponsorship of the Olympic Games on the basis of hypocrisy. Many critics are galled by the notion that a restaurant known for flipping fatty burgers and greasy fries is joined at the hip with one of the foremost showcases of athleticism and fitness. Numerous protests are planned for the 2012 Games.
Here are the sponsorship details: In addition to its role in this year's Games in London, McDonald's now will gain exposure in Sochi, Russia (2014), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2016), and Pyeongchang, South Korea (2018). The 2020 Summer Games location has yet to be determined.
In a statement, McDonald's president and COO Don Thompson said, "In keeping with McDonald's ongoing commitment to children's well-being, we will continue to communicate with kids about the importance of balanced eating and active lifestyles through our partnership with the Games."
However, it's the topic of health that has landed McDonald's in hot water.
A former Olympian is particularly outraged at one of the 2012 initiatives for London. McDonald's will build its largest location ever — a 30,000-square-meter, two-story behemoth capable of seating 1,500 customers — in the Olympic Park. 2004 boxing silver medalist Amir Khan has criticized organizers, telling the Daily Mail: "It is clearly sending the wrong signal to kids and young people. If we want them to be healthy and educate them to eat healthily, we need to think about approaching them in a different way, especially around sport."
Also, McDonald's position as the exclusive "meal brand" of the games has drawn much ire across Britain for putting an American face on the food. Other chains must remove their labels and/or change packaging on food sold throughout several Olympic sites, according to The Guardian, meaning the country's mix of British, Indian and other ethnic fare will go mostly unnoticed.

Okay here goes...
I make a buttercream that is very tasty and crusts very well, BUT
when delivering cakes in this heat it always seems to slide off my cake.
I would greatly appreciate any information from anyone who has the same heat to deal with, how you keep your cakes cold during delivery.
My Truck is air conditioned but with the heat and a few little bumps, disaster awaits me every time.
HELP PLEASE... How do I keep my cakes chilled during delivery?
In 50 years I have never chilled a cake.
Indydebi's bc is heat stable as is Charlotte's Whipped Cream Buttercream. Both in the recipes section.
Thank you Leah for your response.
I will definately try this recipe for BC,
I have already used Charlottes whipped BC recipe before... DELICIOUS
I see you are from my OLE KY HOME, I was raised in Richmond Ky
but now I live in Philadelphia, Big change, again thank you for the response
Duplicate post, please also see:
I second the recommendation of Indydebi's BC. I'm in South Carolina and delivered a three tiered cake over country roads. Car was A/C but the outside temp was 95 and humidity 84% and the venue AC was less than ideal. Not even a hint that the frosting was melting. Best of all, everyone loved the flavor and texture of the BC....no one had even an inkling that it's all Crisco based.

You might be asking yourself why would you would want to move to Mesopotamia. well there all a lot of advantages, well after they invented the wheel and irrigation systems. So lets take a look at some of the advantages.
Advantages of living in Mesopotamia
Some advantages is now that they have created the irrigation sytems and wheels you can get fresh water which can lead to a stable food supply because you can give plants fresh water so if you dont have to really worry about water then you can focus on having other advantages like having enough land to grow the plants. Mesopotmia is a wonderful place to live have a stable food supply, religion,govenrment,wrinting,technology and art.
How do I get to mesopotamia
if I have persuaded you to move to mesopotamia then YOU might be wondering how do i get there,well if thats you then here are some answers
Q: where is mesopotamia? A: It is between the euphates river and the Tigris river in Asia
If you would like to know more go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia

Tanker 82
A shock wave passed through the fuselage and the yoke twisted violently clockwise with sufficient force and movement to sprain Bob's wrist and break his grip. Adrenalin dumped into his bloodstream blunting what pain he might have felt. His brain struggled to recognize the meaning of the sickening dull pop that had accompanied the physical abuse and spastic movement of the aircraft as he took back possession if not control of the yoke. He looked at, Joe, his co-pilot, "What happened!!??" he blurted into the microphone resting on his lips, an appendage of his headset.
Their eyes met. Joe's mouth parted but there were no words. He was on the controls as well. Strain registered in his eyes and his usual crimson hue drained from his mottled sun scarred bald pate to his jaw.
Bob pressed the transmit button on his yoke as the plane torqued violently right then left. On Los Angeles approach frequency "Oh shit!" was all that was heard. Towering craggy granite peaks began to fill the windscreen replacing the dingy blue Southern California version of sky just before a brilliant flash enveloped the cockpit. Joe winced and turned away from it to the left. The heat would have cooked his skin were it not for it's brevity. The view twisted as the whaling moan of the third soul on board, Shawn, filtered through the intercom from the engineers position just aft of Bob and Joe. Then the wind came and the world turned. Random pages of a manual swirled around the cockpit chased by the detritus that had accumulated in the nooks and crannies of the thirty seven year old aircraft.
The instrument panel of the C-130A, tanker 82, told part of the tale. The vital signs of the number three and four engines were flat lined and their power levers had slammed to idle of their own volition. Bob knew it was futile but it was not in him to quit. He shoved the two power levers forward. They moved without resistance or any discernable response while he stood on the left rudder attempting to arrest the sickening rotation to the right. He pulled one and two power levers back and the acceleration to the right diminished but the plane continued corkscrewing violently down to a discernable point on a slope of granite. Bob could begin to pick out individual trees in the sparse vegetation swirling below.
"It's gone," spoke Joe, looking right. "The wing is gone."

Just scoped my S&W Mod 386 XL Hunter
I have had the gun right at a year...
Bought a Simmons 4X32 pistol scope & the EGW weaver mount. Installed the scope last week and then took it out both Friday and Saturday to zero.
Friday zero'd in at 50 yards then Sat took it to the 100yd range. Very happy with results. Head shot groups on silloette targets at 100 yards while bench rested and hit milk jugs offhand at same distance with 1st shots.

On the heels of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Shanghai, China, AOL Time Warner Inc. agreed today to distribute its CETV channel in the country's Southern Region. Guangdong Cable TV Networks Co. Ltd. will start carrying the 24-hour, Mandarin-language channel in January.
The deal, signed at China's State Administration of Radio, Film and Television's headquarters in Beijing, also calls for China Central Television's English-language news and information channel, CCTV-9, to be carried on certain Time Warner Cable systems.
The reciprocal agreement included AOL Time Warner's Turner Broadcasting System Asia-Pacific unit; China Central Television, which is China's national TV network; CCTV's commercial arm, China International Television Corp.; and GCTV, one of China's largest cable operators.
AOLTW acquired CETV in June 2000 and re-launched it in February. The company says it reaches 80 million homes in Asia, via AsiaSat3S, and was "repositioned to serve the viewing tastes of modern Chinese audiences." The station combines Chinese co-productions and certain programming from AOLTW.

I found him to be extremely rude. His staff was nice, but the Dr. himself could have cared less about me. In fact, he told me I didn't need to come back, that he couldn't help me. He had no desire to hear my story or help me. He gets an F from me.

My medical home
I have been seeing Dr. Dawalt since he took over the practice. I had become very close with the physician before him. So she asked me to give him a shot before she left. I did, and I am amazed. He brought a breath of fresh air to my diagnosis. He has been able to control my diabetes, something I have struggled with for years! He leads by example, he asked me to lose weight, but he did it as well. Dr. Dawalt has embraced my many health issues and is never in a hurry to leave the room. I have thought about changing doctors due to the distance I drive to see him after moving 4 yrs ago. Once I put things on a balance, the benefits of seeing him outweighs the cost of travel. Dr. Dawalt's office has gone through some trAnsitions and with that comes issues, but none that would sway me to change frm his practice. I am very happy with the care I recieve from HIM. If you have complex issues, un controlled Diabetes, he is your man.

Dr. Dawalt is a very caring, understand physician. He doesn't only treat the symptom, he also treats the whole person. He takes the time to listen to the patient and gets the patient involved with the best course of action. I have recommended Dr. Dwalt to all of my friends and family.

Dr. Dawalt is a FAMILY Doctor who reminds us of the good old days when Doctors were in the PEOPLE business. My wife, our adult daughter, several of my in laws and I are very please with his caring attitude and sharp diagnostic skills. His staff is in sync and seem to know all his patients. So glad we found Dr. Dawalt.

compassionate and genuine!
Dr. Dawalt has been my physician since he first opened his practice. I am nearly 54 yrs old, so I have had plenty of experience with physicians in my lifetime. At first I didn't know how I felt about going to a doctor so much younger than me :-) , but I am VERY glad I gave him a chance. When I had a localized MRSA infection on my arm, Dr. Dawalt went out of his way to meet me at the office even over Christmas holiday hours to clean and dress the affected area. I don't know of any other doctor who would have done that. At every appointment he never seems that he is in a big hurry...I never feel rushed...he spends time, listens carefully, thoroughly discusses options, explains medication... I really don't know what more anyone could ask of a physician. I am in a professional field myself, and have several clients who are patients of his and they all talk about how well they like him.

Standard financial ratios are used to evaluate one's financial condition. Debt management ratios, in particular, are used by banks and other lenders to evaluate a prospective borrower's suitability for a home mortgage or other loan.
A variety of different debt-to-income ratios are key indicators of an individual's financial health. In general, the debt-to-income ratio is calculated by dividing monthly minimum debt payments by monthly gross income.
Debt-to-Income Ratio = Monthly Debt Payments/Monthly Gross Income
There are three common variations of the debt-to-income ratio. They measure consumer debt, housing debt and total debt.
A. Consumer debt
The consumer debt ratio compares nonhousing debt to monthly income. For example, someone with a gross monthly income of $5,000 paying $600 per month toward credit card balances and auto loans would have a consumer debt ratio of 12%.
$600/$5,000 = .12 or 12%
A consumer debt-to-income ratio of 10% or less is considered excellent.
B. Housing costs
Lenders considering an application for a home mortgage traditionally look at what an individual's or family's debt-to-income ratio for housing-related expenses would be. The monthly housing expense includes principal, interest, property taxes and homeowner's insurance, also known as PITI. Homeowners' association dues and mortgage insurance also are considered if applicable.
This measurement of monthly housing costs against income is known as the front-end ratio.
Front-End Ratio = Principal, interest, taxes and insurance/Monthly gross income
For example, a borrower with an annual income of $48,000 with a monthly PITI payment of $1,200 would have a front-end ratio of 30%.
$48,000 annual salary/12 months = $4,000 a month.
$1,500/$4,000 = .375 or 37.5%
Different borrowers use different standards with regards to an acceptable front-end ratio. One bank, for instance, may require a front-end ratio of no more than 33%. Another may place the limit at 35%.
C. Total debt
Lenders also calculate the total monthly debt-to-income ratio of potential borrowers. This is known as the back-end ratio. This includes both consumer debt and monthly housing payments.
Total monthly debt includes expenses such as mortgage payments (made up of PITI), credit-card payments, child support and other loan payments. Lenders use this ratio in conjunction with the front-end ratio to approve mortgages.
For instance, a borrower with a monthly income of $6,000 and total debt and monthly housing payments of $1,800 would have a back-end ratio of 36.8%.
$2,200/$6,000 = .368 or 36.8%

|Fan Page Wikipedia
17 July 1921, Chicago Heights, Illinois, USA, d. 5 September 1977, Concord, California, USA. Although first achieving a measure of national prominence by winning a Tommy Dorsey Amateur Swing Contest in 1937 when he was only 16 years old, Barnes was already a seasoned guitarist. He had previously worked extensively in the Midwest as leader of his own small group. He followed his contest success with a string of recording sessions in which he accompanied leading blues singers, among them Big Bill Broonzy, Blind John Davis, Jazz Gillum and Washboard Sam. Interestingly enough, given such classical country blues associations, Barnes had been an early exponent of the electric guitar, which he had taken up in 1931. Apart from his army service, Barnes spent most of the 40s in staff jobs with NBC and ABC in Chicago and with Decca Records in New York.
In the 60s, Barnes worked with fellow guitarists Carl Kress and Bucky Pizzarelli. Known as a decidedly...

Villa for rent from € 470/day in LefkadaName/Address:
With its simple design, villa Katsika will enchant you: a 4000 meters plot with olive trees, carob trees and strawberry trees …an outstanding situation for a peaceful stay, enjoying the exceptional sea view in an idyllic setting.
Around the villa, the Mediterranean vegetation, with bougainvillea, rosemary, oleanders and lavenders, mixes with more tropical plants such as hibiscus, ficus, strelazia, and with the scents of jasmine and honeysuckle.
The recent construction is respectful of environmentally-friendly standards: Canadian well, good insulation, outside great pergolas but also ventilators for who wants more freshness.
Like a south facing balcony over a secret little pebble cove with a small path leading to it (only a five minutes' walk), it offers a panoramic view of the Ionian sea, strewed with its mythical islands, Ithaca, Kefalonia, Meganissi, Arkoudi, Atoko …a real dream.
For early risers, the sunrise is absolutely marvelous, and later in the afternoon, when the sea breeze blows, it will nicely cool down the shady terraces.
If you are lucky enough to stay here at full moon, its silver reflections on the sea and the pool will fascinate you, during aperitif or grill time…
And when departure time has come, no doubt you will keep in mind these fantastic memories.
Please notice that villa Katsika is available for rent in July and August only.
# Outside.
You'll arrive at the villa from the first floor. Once the car parked, you can walk on a lovely path (some meters) which brings you to the first room. Covered stairs accede to the ground floor where the first great enchantment, opening the door, is the wonderful sea view.
You join the terraces with their shady or sunny areas, as per your choice.
To South, you find a dining place under a plant-covered pergola, then on the west side the infinity pool with an incredible sea view with boats sailing on the wind.
Around the pool, are waiting the sun chairs and the hammock under the pergola.
The 8 m x 4 swimming pool with its turquoise water is built in two parts: the first part for those who prefer to swim by own depth (1,10 meters), the second part with a slope more deep down to 2 meters.
A shower in the middle of vegetation will delight you with this unending and wonderful view. On the side, a charcoal barbecue and 2 steps up the dining area overlooking the pool and the sea. The peace of a little Greek styled saloon will definitely seduce you.
# Ground floor.
The main room with kitchen is open of the living-room and the bright and panoramic TV place with big bay windows. An office just behind with a CD reader allows you to connect your favorite music.
A woody stair climbs to the mezzanine with 2 beds 90cm and climatisation.
Turning back to the entrance, there are independent toilets and the entrance hall entirely decorated with natural ochers.
Two steps up, the main sleeping room with 2 single beds 90cm, with possibility to join them together to have a 180cm bed with mattress pad. A seperate bathroom with Spa tub and toilets.
A tidying room with safe and washing machine.
# First floor.
Near the entrance, the second sleeping room with 160cm bed, its own climatisation, independent toilets, washbasin in the room and its shower on the south terrace ; you will love it… !
# Access.

text: One fairly recent social trend is an increased awareness of health issues. There are countless articles, books, and documentaries about how to be and stay healthy. One obvious yet often overlooked aspect of your health is your oral hygiene regimen. Without taking care of your teeth and gums, it would be very difficult to maintain good health, overall. That is why regular appointments with your dentist are important. Your dentist can look at your teeth and gums and determine if there are any problems. One incredibly common and potentially serious problem is gum disease. If your dentist believes you have gum disease, you should go to a periodontist right away. A periodontist is a dental specialist that people go to when they are having problems with their gums or the ligaments of their teeth. In many regards, gum disease is every bit is destructive as cavities are. In fact, they may be worse, in terms of posing a threat to your teeth. Gum disease can often lead to tooth loss. This is why it is so important to consult with a periodontist if your dentist identifies symptoms of gum disease. If the symptoms are severe enough that he or she is concerned, than you should probably make an appointment with a periodontist. You can ask your dentist for recommendations, or you can find one on your own. Hopefully, the periodontist will inform you that you can reverse the damage and save your teeth. The sooner you get to the periodontist's office, the better your chances are. There are certain treatments they ca provide. Plus, they can help you improve your overall hygiene regimen to care for your gums better. You need to consider this part of your health regimen. Your periodontal and dental wellness is directly linked to your overall health. If you believe you have some of the symptoms of gum disease, or your dentist has told you that you do, you need to get to the periodontist as soon as possible. If you do not reverse the damage, you will lose teeth. Losing teeth is not the end of the world, but it is to be avoided at all costs. In short, if you have a chance to save your teeth, you should do everything in your power to do so. The only other option is dental implants. Dental implants are structures that are implanted where your tooth once was. This structure, essentially, is drilled into the jawbone. The artificial teeth themselves are attached to these implants. Dental implants can be surgically installed by a periodontist. It is a very effective and safe means of replacing teeth that have been lost to decay or gum disease. There are different kinds of dental implants for different situations. In some cases only one tooth needs to be replaced, whereas in others all the teeth need to be replaced. Dental implants can be very effective, but it is still best to try to avoid needing them, if possible. Keeping up with your oral hygiene and consulting a periodontist at the first sign of gum disease are the best ways to prevent tooth loss.
