The Arts are NOT a luxury, and low income does not mean low intelligence, or imagination, or talent, and due to huge demand we are re-opening applications to join our alternative to the old boy network!
It begins as a one year mentoring project for 16 year olds, and it's the absolute chance of a lifetime.
What's revolutionary here is that young people are supported along the way (and beyond) by what's now a network of over 4000 arts professionals, including 100s of the biggest names in visual art, music, fashion, film, journalism and more. These are people who can and do open doors at ALL levels of the industry. This is a real, vital, alternative to the 'old boy' network.
We have set up paid work experience, studio time, set visits, auditions, coaching, gallery space, free tickets, backstage passes, paid internships, academic help and so much more.
They only need ask, and our membership can almost certainly deliver it. That's real privilege, it's a real game changer for them.
Joining the network has proven rewarding for our members too, and is a very practical way of giving low income kids everything you probably wished for at 16. It's an open door into the world of culture, learning, and creativity, all underpinned by long term practical, personal, support up to the age of 24!
Unsurprisingly, four years in and with a rapidly rising profile, we find ourselves oversubscribed by teenagers wanting to apply, so for the first time since 2014, membership is reopening and we hope you want to be part of this!
If you are an Arts, Humanities, or Social Sciences graduate, or a practicing creative person, then you could well be a huge help to any number of young people through this project.
As a member you will do two simple things to resist the rapid gentrification of higher education, and redress the imbalance of representation within our culture and the production of our culture
1) Share knowledge and contacts
Whatever you achieved, somebody helped you on the way – now you will be *that* person by responding to requests direct from our students and their mentors whenever you can help with something. It's so helpful for them and easy to do. You can also put yourself forward as a mentor, a school speaker, or set up a visit/work experience too. How you help is entirely up to you and we have members from pretty much all levels of all industries!
2) Supporting our mentor project with a donation (if you can)
At the heart of all we do is that one year mentoring project for 16 year olds, and it is entirely crowd funded at this time. So in order to try and meet growing demand, we've added an option to make a monthly donation of any amount you like. It all goes towards expanding our reach.
We will send ALL new donating members a handmade badge and copy of our manifesto.
If you would like any more information about us or our work, please email us at email@example.com, we're a small team and will respond to you personally as soon as we can.

Can Public Schools Pave the Way for Paid Family Leave?
It's hard to have a conversation about maternity or paternity leave and not compare the US with Europe, and for good reason as I described in a recent TEDx talk. One geography has some of the best paid leave policies and one has nothing at all. Yet, in the absence of a national paid leave policy, we see a growing number of US-based companies, local governments and even public schools taking it upon themselves to prioritize the issue and create a culture that values the balance of life and work without forcing their employees to choose one or the other.
Public Schools Offer Paid Leave
In March of 2016, IDEA Public Schools, a network of tuition-free Pre-K to 12th grade public schools serving more than 30,000 students in 51 schools across Texas, announced they were going to offer eight weeks of paid family leave to all eligible employees. At the time, they were one of the only public schools to offer paid leave through a family leave policy vs. disability policy or PTO bank. This distinction is important as it covers both maternity and paternity and doesn't require teachers to exhaust their sick days to care and bond with their new born child.
Only a few months later, in August of 2016, the Palm Springs Unified School District created a paid maternity leave policy offering up to six weeks of paid leave. Mayor Bill De Blasio of New York City has proposed a policy for teachers and all unionized city workers offering 6 weeks of 100% paid maternity, paternity, adoptive, and foster.
While it is great to see private corporations supporting paid family leave policies, we know change is coming when we see public entities recognize the business case for a paid family leave policy and are willing to jump through the complex bureaucratic hurdles to put such a policy in place.
Impetus for Change
What was the impetus for change? As the number of successfully implemented paid leave policies increases, the amount of data available to support such policies also increases. The benefits of having a paid leave policy in place are more apparent than ever. Talent retention, recruitment and overall employee well-being are clear cost savings for employers. Beyond the cost savings of not having to recruit, hire, and train new talent. Having a generous paid leave policy means you want the best talent and want to retain the best talent. In the US, 43 percent of highly skilled women with children leave their careers or off ramp for a period of time. [1]This significant loss of talent is felt in the public school sector as well and change needs to be made in order to ensure our public schools recruit and retain the best.
IDEA Founder and CEO Tom Torkelson said "The global context is what it is, unfortunately, but at IDEA Public Schools, we're doing what we can within our universe of control for our employees. We have made a commitment to our employees to do what we can to ensure they are the healthiest, happiest, best trained, most supported employees in the country, and this is just an additional way we are living up to this commitment."[2]
The Nation's Homework
Family leave policy is not a panacea and fixing the working families issue is more than just paid leave policy. While that is an important step, there is more to be done. The conversation needs to be the availability of choices for family leave (not just maternity leave), access to affordable quality childcare, and established return to work programs. The public school sector has taken an important step to make paid family leave a norm beyond the tech industry and we are better for it.

Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears – Tuesday 00:30, Sky Sports 1
Monday night football in Chicago rounds off week eight in the NFL as the Bears host fellow NFC North rivals the Minnesota Vikings. Both these sides lost last week but while the 26-10 defeat to the Packers was the sixth loss in seven matches for the Bears, a 21-10 loss to the Eagles in Philadelphia was the Vikings first defeat all year, so they're certainly still the form side.
The Bears offence has been led by back-up quarterback Brian Hoyer in recent weeks and the injury he received last week would have proved catastrophic in normal circumstances but as it so happens first choice QB Jay Cutler will return on Monday night having missed the previous five weeks.
The Vikings have their own problems on offence, quarterback Sam Bradford was sacked six times last week, but the defence is stellar and they could make it a tough return to action for Cutler. If they fall behind early though it would be interesting to see if the offence is capable of turning it around, rather than relying on the defence winning matches as has been the case to date.
This looks about as tough as it gets for Cutler's return and it's not as if he was playing very well before his injury, so back the Vikings to cover the -4.5 handicap.£10 Free Credit and a £500 Deposit Bonus

Review by debnance
If you think picture books are just for children, take a look at this one. A powerful story of friendship that changes lives, and all told wordlessly and in thirty-two pages.
Review by SaritaInce
A touching story told through powerful and well designed illustrations without any text. The wordless story unfolds and touches on themes on loneliness, love, difference and family.
Review by Whisper1
Oh how I love this tale of a small clown who falls from the traveling circus train. Landing in a farmer's field, both are curious of each other. As the farmer gently takes care of the clown, he grows to love the ways of this very special being, and likewise, the clown embraces farming and the farmer.Seamless and wordless, the author creates a magical story of loneliness, of love, and of trust.The theme is universal, and incredibly rendered. This is a book to give as a present to adults as well as children. As the clown and farmer come together and then depart, they may have bounced into each other's lives, but they will forever be solidly anchored by love.
Review by dorthys
This is a nice wordless picture book that involves a clown falling off a train, and a farmer gives him a place to stay, until the train returns for the clown. But the train and clown return and drop off another friend.
Review by Sullywriter
I'm not a fan of clowns but it's impossible not to like this touching, whimsical wordless picture book.

Channel balances for Jordon windows
A home owner from Las Cruces, New Mexico says:
September 27, 2014
1992 Jordon windows. Two sizes: one 23" channel, one 29" channel. Please see attached photos. Ends are the same for both. The 23" channel is part of a 48"w x 48"h window. The 29" channel is part of a 36"w x 60"h window. Each sliding window is about one-half the window height.
Your recommendation on replacements for each will be appreciated.
Your recommendation on replacements for each will be appreciated.
Tom from SWISCO responded:
October 1, 2014
Hey, thanks for posting. I've narrowed this down to two possible channel balance Series: either our Series 351 or our Series 390.
Now, as you can see, the only difference between these two Series is their bottom shoe. The Series 351 uses the 15-002 while the Series 390 uses the 15-001. I can't quite tell what you have based on your pictures, though. Please carefully compare their dimensions to your own hardware and see which is a better match.
Each Series has a variety of lengths, including 23" and 29".

Formwerkz Architects
Post By:Kitticoon Poopong
Singaporean practice Formwerkz Architects has completed a modern tropical house in Singapore.
"Hierarchies of spaces (and family cells) were carefully expressed in choice materials and architectural languages… Communal spaces were designed as light and open, inviting structures."Architect's Statement courtesy of Formwerkz Architects
How will you engage the very traditional Asian Concept of Multi-generation Living in our modern ageing Singapore society? Can Architecture address the differences in habits, desires or even the potential tensions between individuals or sub-families? These were the very first questions that we asked ourselves when we were commissioned to design the home for twelve at a quiet corner of Seletar Hill Estate.The idea of cluster living "apartments" with open communal spaces was devised for the separated families' reunion. Work spaces, fun spaces, personal spaces & engaging spaces were strung together with each family's needs carefully studied and planned with the required privacies. Hierarchies of spaces (and family cells) were carefully expressed in choice materials and architectural languages. The living spaces for the grandparents were built as a 2-storey off-form concrete cantilevered block for the expression of unparalleled strength & status. Communal spaces were designed as light and open, inviting structures. To embrace every member's individual likings, material palettes were filtered to the most basic form of construction elements. The basis of selections can then be purified to simpler choice between natural colours & textures rather than subjective decorative merits. As we've always believed that dwelling spaces are organic, most elements were designed to be easily de-mountable and replaceable. The strategy allowed room for future growth, since we started bare & simple.
Upon setting the game plan, the team embarked on a 26-month long creative journey that deviates from most common paths. The construction site turned into a 1:1 life-sized study model for numerous experimentations as exciting design opportunities and hurdles surface gradually in front of our eyes. Unlike most buildings that were direct translations of the contract drawings, most details were designed on-site from intensive discussions and ideas coming from the Client (a local artist), the Architects and also the Contractors. The same design spirit was pushed all the way to even the interior works. Almost all ceilings (if there is any at all), lights, cabinetry, gates & bathroom accessories were customized with simple materials, such as steel sheets & plywood, bolts & nuts. Countless samples were produced and almost all failed prototypes were recycled into other design elements (some ended up as the Client's art material), keeping wastages to a minimum. A row of huge beautiful pine trees was invited to stay and the rear boundary wall was reborn by hand-chiselling away the old tiles inch by inch.

An expert on pools has waded into the controversy over air quality at the Lawson Aquatic Centre in Regina, suggesting sweat from athletes and urine in the water are part of the problem.
Earlier this week, health officials said people using the Lawson should not exert themselves.
There have been ongoing complaints that chloramine vapours in the facility have led to nausea among competitive swimmers, who train at the Lawson.
Chloramine is produced when sweat and urine mix with chlorine in the pool water.
It is a condition that affects indoor pools around the world, according to Tom Griffiths, an expert on the subject at Penn State University.
"The chloramines hang on the surface of the water, so the athlete who is working out hard not only is producing that chloramine gas but they're breathing it in," Griffiths explained. "And an athlete has a respiratory requirement that can be as much as 200 times greater than the average swimmer."
Ultraviolet filtration needed
Griffiths says chloramines can never be completely eliminated from the environment of an indoor pool, but adding an ultraviolet disinfection system to an existing filtration system can reduce the vapours.
"You're never going to eliminate them," he said. "So what you have to do is try to reduce them and the most significant and effective way of doing that is by adding ultraviolet light disinfection."
Jenna Haupstein, a member of the provincial water polo team, said training at the Lawson is difficult.
"It feels like you have a cough there that's constantly there," Haupstein said Wednesday. "No matter how many times you try clearing your throat or anything, it just won't go away."
Haupstein said the Lawson pool is the only place in Regina the team can train.
"We want to be at our best level when we're training because we have to compete across Canada," she said. "But when we're having coughing fits or we're having trouble breathing, it definitely affects how well we can train and what we're doing at practice."
Swim meets affected
John Hill, the president of Swim Saskatchewan, said testing at the pool has not — to his knowledge — included samples above the water to check for chloramines.
"To our knowledge there's never been an air quality taking a look at what we call chloramines on the surface level of the water," Hill said. He said large vents installed by the city did not help the situation.
Hill said the problem is affecting swim meets and there is concern the sport will lose young athletes.
On Wednesday, Regina's deputy city manager told CBC News that two consultant have been examining the air at the pool.
Jason Carlston said one report is expected to be in the city's hands by Friday. He said the consultants have been studying the air above the water surface.

The Doors of Perception is a 1954 book by Aldous Huxley detailing his experiences when taking mescaline.
Criticisms by RC ZaehnerOne of the earliest criticisms of The Doors of Perception was by RC Zaehner, a professor at Oxford University. Zaehner acknowledged the importance of the book's challenge to people interested in religious experience, while pointing out what he saw as inconsistencies and self-contradictions.Zaehner's criticisms of The Doors of Perception were set out in his book Mysticism Sacred and Profane, which also acts as a theistic riposte to what he sees as the monism of Huxley's The Perennial Philosophy. Zaehner concludes that Huxley's apprehensions under mescaline are affected by his deep familiarity with Vedanta and Mahayana Buddhism. So, the experience may not be the same for others who take the drug and don't have this background, although they will undoubtedly experience a transformation of sensation.That the longing to transcend oneself is 'one of the principal appetites of the soul' is questioned by Zaehner. There are still people who do not feel this desire to escape themselves, and religion itself need not mean escaping from the ego.Zaehner criticises what he sees as Huxley's apparent call for all religion to use drugs (including alcohol) as part of their practices. Quoting St Paul's proscriptions against drunkenness in church, in 1 Corinthians xi, he makes the point that artificial ecstatic states and spiritual union with God are not the same.Holding that there are similarities between the experience on mescaline, of mania in a manic-depressive psychosis and of the visions of God of a mystical saint suggests, for Zaehner, that the saint's visions must be the same as those of a lunatic. The personality is dissipated into the world, for Huxley on mescaline and people in a manic state, which is similar to the experience of nature mystics. However this experience is different from the theistic mystic who is absorbed into a God, who is quite different from the objective world.The appendices to Mysticism Sacred and Profane include three accounts of mescaline experiences, including those of Zaehner himself. He writes that he was transported into a world of farcical meaninglessness and notes that the experience was interesting and funny, but not religious.Professor of religion and philosophy, Huston Smith took issue with the belief that Mysticism Sacred and Profane had fully examined and refuted Huxley's claims made in The Doors of Perception. Smith claims that consciousness-changing substances have been linked with religion both throughout history and across the world, and further it is possible that many religious perspectives had their origins in them, which were later forgotten.Acknowledging that personality, preparation and environment all play a role in the effects of the drugs, Huston Smith draws attention to evidence that suggests that a religious outcome of the experience may not be restricted to one of Huxley's temperament. Further, because Zaehner's experience was not religious, does not prove that none will be. Contrary to Zaehner, Huston Smith draws attention to evidence suggesting that these drugs can facilitate theistic mystical experience.As phenomenologically, the descriptions of naturally occurring and drug-stimulated mystical experiences cannot be distinguished, Huston Smith regards Zaehner's position in Mysticism Sacred and Profane, as a product of the conflict between science and religion – that religion tends to ignore the findings of science. Nonetheless, although these drugs may produce a religious experience, they need not produce a religious life, unless set within a context of faith and discipline. Finally, he concludes that psychedelic drugs should not be forgotten in relation to religion because the phenomenon of religious awe, or the encounter with the holy, is declining and religion cannot survive long in its absence.

I love this place. Their lattes are perfect ! I had a piece of carrot cake with my latte and it was moist and not too sweet. Again perfect! I also love the fact that you can buy magazines like the New Yorker, right in the cafe or walk next door to Beth used books.
We ordered the chicken pot pie as an app and split the chicken parm pizza. Both very good. Love the thin crust, tasty sauce and plenty of cheese! fast friendly service.
We ordered the carnitas burritos and upsized to the larger one which we needn't have done. We were stuffed but it was so good it was hard to stop eating. I loved the fresh ingredients and the salsa bar with cilantro! I always want extra cilnatro!

When I tell people I had a moment when I realized I was Black, I usually get two responses: either it makes no sense whatsoever, or they can remember the moment they realized their skin was different too. My moment occurred in 6th grade theater.
I'd just moved from a sheltered and intensely boring existence at a private school in Laveen, Arizona. My parents were worried that the forced comradery of only seeing the same ten kids from ages 6 to 18 would be bad for my already shaky social skills. Public school seemed like a decent answer to their worries. Since moving, I'd been teased for not dressing cool or having friends or other necessary things by then, but anyone can be teased for that. I agreed to be a mime for a day in order to receive extra credit– I was deathly shy and failed a monologue project the month before. I didn't think twice about painting my black face white for the mime project, because it was just that: a black face. I walked around with it and considered it like one would fingernails: they need to be clean and cut and anything beyond that is extra primping. While there weren't many Black kids at the school I'd moved from, none of them were really into considering race as a point of attack as much as sex. Dick Cheney was Vice President at the time, and the it-joke was to get someone to say "Dick" and that was it, end of joke.
I sat in class and, again, was teased for whatever some bored someone would find worthwhile. Making fun of me was like going after the baby wildebeest in the herd, and with the mime face I'd add a broken leg, at least.
I was an easy target.
At the time, I had a habit of scrunching my face when I made eye contact with people, as a way of saying "I'd like this to stop," which grabbed a group of kids' attention. Most of the comments had to do with the expression, but the last one I remember hearing was a little more cutting. One kid said, "You'd be prettier if you were White."
Overwhelmed and the most hurt I'd ever been, I went to wash my face in the girls' bathroom, then I went back to class. I'd gone from never thinking about my race to not only being Black, but having a face that was inferior to a face I could never have. From the moment I reentered that classroom to the day of my middle school promotion, I worked tirelessly to not be "that Black." It dictated what I watched, what I listened to, how I spoke, you name it. I only listened to Modest Mouse. I'd also taken up watching Mad Men, which was very "not-Black" to young me. Reading the book American Psycho was a big moment for me at the time, because it was just the least Black thing I could do, in my head anyway. I always made sure to read it in public as bait for any praise I might be missing out on. Looking back on it, "I'm not that Black, look how intellectual I am," is what I think I was trying to say. I wouldn't say I was trying to be White, however, so much as nothing. I didn't want to be any race. After all, race is a construct, it doesn't tell you who I am, and mean boys like to use it to bring you down. Why not do away with it?
In Skin Again, by bell hooks, that question is more or less answered. It's a picture book meant for children younger than I would have been at the time, but that doesn't make it any less relevant. The book follows a nameless narrator of ambiguous color pondering their skin color's role in their identity and personal story. Comprised of simple, direct statements regarding skin color, Skin Again leaves no room for doubt or arguments. "The skin I'm in/ is just a covering. If you want to know who I am/ you have got to come inside/ and open your heart way wide." This commanding tone adds a persuasive quality to hooks' words, while the playfulness of her music keeps it from feeling too authoritative.
At the heart of the book is the seemingly paradoxical nature of her message: my skin is my identity, but it is also not at all that. As we move toward a more racially-integrated society, a term often thrown around as progressive is the notion that we should be "colorblind." "Colorblind" when used as a description of one's open-mindedness, is useless. It means less "I accept everyone," and more, "I accept those I can break down enough to resemble me in my head." Skin Again argues that calls for equality are not calls for peoples' faces to be made in the image of the majority, but rather for their chance to be known as people.
Julius Lester's book Let's Talk About Race also touches on race as a piece of a story, as big as your birth, but never the story itself. We're more than a color, but doesn't mean our color should be thrown out. Lester shows himself to be many things throughout the book. "I live in a big house in the woods in a small town. I like pancakes and macaroni and cheese and… and… and…," he writes, letting his voice trail and emphasizing the infinite nature of a story, especially your own. Lester's tone is comparatively softer than bell hooks', but persuasive nonetheless. The book actively questions you as you read, whether it is simple facts ("What race are you?") to heavier stuff ("Why would some people say their race is better than another?"). In regards to the heavier questions, he suggests answers, but then lets his voice trail off. His writing style reminds me of when I was a kid and my Dad would let my brother and I explore (seemingly) on our own. He was always a handful of steps behind us, but far enough away for us to feel like we were actually in charge of ourselves. This sort of light herding will keep younger readers on track while deepening their understanding of race with self-reflection.
I didn't tell my parents about my short-lived career as a mime until well into high school, not because I don't trust them with my feelings (I trust them with just about everything), but because I wasn't sure what to say if I did. I now know that the other student was wrong, but I often think of how long I spent feeling the opposite. I now know that he probably wasn't all that interested in any openings of the heart either. While I can't promise that these books will keep kids from having a moment like mine in their lifetime, it will at least give them a place to begin when considering their skin.

Denver Nuggets vs. Memphis Grizzlies - 1/21/16 NBA Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Memphis Grizzlies (24-19) at Denver Nuggets (16-26)
NBA Basketball: Thursday, January 21, 2016 at 9:00 pm (Pepsi Center)
The Line: Denver Nuggets +1.5 -- Over/Under: 194.5 See the Latest Odds
The Memphis Grizzlies pay a visit to the Denver Nuggets tonight at the Pepsi Center.
The Grizzlies have won five of their last six games and will be gunning for a fourth straight win after sneaking past the Pelicans by 101-99 on Monday. In a balanced scoring effort, Marc Gasol, Courtney Lee, Matt Barnes and Jeff Green all finished with 16 points each as the Grizzlies battled with the Pelicans before escaping with the narrow win to improve to 24-19 on the season and 16-7 at home.
USA TODAY Sports
Meanwhile, the Nuggets have won three of their last five games but are coming off a tough 110-104 loss to the Thunder. Danilo Gallinari led the team with 27 points, Kenneth Faried added 17 points while Emmanuel Mudiay had 13 points and nine assists but turnovers, missed free throws and some sloppy defense meant that the Thunder were able to run away with the win on the back of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. Overall, it actually wasn't such a bad performance given how well the Thunder have been playing lately, but the win does drop the Nuggest to 16-26 on the season and 8-13 at home.
In ATS trends, the Grizzlies are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games following a win and 1-4 ATS in their last five road games, while the Nuggets are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games and 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall.
Head to head, the Grizzlies are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings in Denver and the home team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings overall.
The Nuggets have sprung back to life and are finally starting to pick up some wins now, but I have to side with the Grizzlies in this one as they've been consistently solid all season and are really starting to string together wins.

Louisiana officers 'targeted and assassinated'
Edmonson told Local 10 News that the call came in as a man dressed in all black, wearing a mask and carrying a rifle while walking down the commercial district.

At the time , Pence endorsed Ted Cruz, but he was visibly reluctant to throw his support behind Cruz.

text: I've got a question for those who have the Twalcom-QD exhaust on their 800gs, or anyone who knows....! Has anyone replaced the subject item at his silencer? The link: http://www.landparts.com/info.php/i/643/in/tt-by-qd-regeneration-kit-for-rear-silencer-homologated-tip-2.html I am asking as according to Twalcom: "With the QD Regeneration Kit you can recover the sound emission level, just as a new homologated Rear Silencer. To ensure the performance of the Rear Silencer is recommended to replace the sound absorbing cartridge approximately every 7000 km." This has only to do with the sound emission as i can understand and not with the silencer's performance.... or not? (my 800 has already 9000km with the qd can....) Any clue?

49ers LB Brooks fined more than $15K for hit on Saints QB Brees
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks was fined $15,570 by the NFL on Wednesday for his hit on Saints quarterback Drew Brees last Sunday.
Brooks' agent, Greg Williams, said his client would appeal the penalty — the standard fine for such hits to the head and neck area.
Brooks leveled Brees, forcing a lost fumble. But the personal foul penalty kept the ball in the Saints' possession, and they soon kicked two late field goals to win 23-20. The tackle left Brees with blood on his chin.
Brooks vehemently argued against the penalty, saying he didn't use his hands or helmet and called it a "bear hug." Brees labeled the hit a clothesline tackle. 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh also reiterated Monday he thought the hit was clean.
"Our interpretation was, when we grade a player, if he's got a penalty we give him a minus, but we did not assign a minus on that play," Harbaugh said Monday. "The play occurred that occurred. I thought Ahmad hit at the right level, hit at the shoulder level. The quarterback kind of shrunk down and that's the official's call to make. I'm going to see it the way I see it and that's going to be a slanted view. I really don't know much more to say about that."
The linebacker also was fined $12,750 for a roughing-the-passer call against Aaron Rodgers during the season opener against Green Bay.
Brooks declined to speak to reporters Wednesday, when a downpour in the Bay Area caused Harbaugh to cancel an outdoor walk-through and move preparations for Monday night's game at Washington indoors.
Cornerback Carlos Rogers defended his teammate.
"That's bad," Rogers said of the fine. "When you look at it, it's a vicious hit. He's 260 pounds and I'm pretty sure Brees is a little over 200. Any time you blindside a guy like that it's a vicious hit.
"But when you slow it down, he didn't touch his head. I'm surprised in the fine. A lot of people are probably surprised. Enough's been said around the world about that hit. I think at the time, as a referee just seeing it, I think the back judge threw it, you have to throw that flag then. Unfortunately it hurts us on our side of the ball. That was a big play at that time of the game."

Parents can find common questions and answers about Pediatric Dentistry, Orthodontics and Parent Dentistry below.
Have dental questions? No worries – The Super Dentists team is here to help!
Pediatric FAQs
Here's a closer look at some of the most common pediatric dentistry questions:
A pediatric dentist serves as a specialist in the field of dentistry dealing particularly with the oral healthcare of children. This dental professional plays an important role in a child's oral health, from infancy to the teenage years.
We recommend a check-up every six months to prevent cavities and other dental problems. However, more frequent check-ups may be necessary based on your personal oral health.
A child should go to the dentist by age 1 or within six months after the first tooth erupts, according to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD). Because a child's primary teeth typically begin growing in around 6 months of age, taking a baby to the dentist empowers parents to take a proactive approach to their child's oral health. And ultimately, this allows parents to reduce a child's risk of short- and long-term oral health issues.
Typically, your child will lose all 20 of his or her baby teeth over the course of several years. This usually occurs by the age of 13. Baby teeth eventually will be replaced by up to 32 permanent teeth (28 without wisdom teeth). And as your child loses baby teeth, permanent ones will begin to erupt in their place.
Children have 20 baby teeth – 10 on the top and 10 on the bottom. These teeth act as placeholders for the adult teeth that grow in after the baby teeth fall out.
Adults have more teeth than children. Most adults have 32 teeth, including four canines, eight incisors, eight premolars and 12 molars (as well as four wisdom teeth).
For the most part, a child's 20 baby teeth usually fall out in the order in which they developed. A child's baby teeth typically come in by age 3, and the lower center teeth (lower center incisors) are usually the first to go. This typically occurs around age 5 or 6.
Ideally, your child's first visit to the dentist should happen before his or her first birthday. Taking your child to the dentist at a young age empowers you to prevent problems such as tooth decay, along with allowing you to learn how to clean your child's teeth and identify his or her fluoride needs. Plus, bringing your child to the dentist early often leads to a lifetime of good oral care habits and acclimates your child to the dental office, reducing the stress frequently associated with visiting the dentist.
At The Super Dentists, we're prepared to answer any and all dental questions, at any time. Our expert team will take the time to understand your pediatric dentistry questions and will handle all of your dental questions as needed. Therefore, we're ready to provide you with informative, easy-to-understand answers to your dental questions and offer you the dental services you need consistently.

Orthodontic FAQs
Here's a closer look at some of the most common orthodontic dentistry questions:
Braces can be installed at any age. However, many dentists recommend braces for children between the ages of 10 and 14.
At this time, the child's head and mouth are still growing, which makes it easier to move the teeth to their ideal location. If an experienced orthodontist has not seen by your pre-teen, you may want to schedule an appointment today. The Super Dentists orthodontists are skilled in straightening teeth and will let you know if your child needs braces.
Orthodontists commonly will spend one to two hours installing braces.
First, the orthodontist will clean a child's mouth and ensure his or her teeth are dry. Next, the orthodontist will apply bonding glue to the teeth and attach brackets for the braces. And for the final step, the orthodontist will place the archwire in the brackets and secure it with elastic bands.
The braces installation procedure is usually painless. When the bonding glue is applied to the teeth, a child may experience an unpleasant taste in his or her mouth that will dissipate quickly. Furthermore, a child's teeth and mouth will be sore as he or she adjusts to the braces after the procedure, but this soreness should go away within about a week.
Every patient is different, and early orthodontic treatment may prove to be a viable option to reduce the risk of serious oral health problems from developing down the line.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children should have an orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this time, a pediatric orthodontist will be able to pinpoint developmental oral health issues that could become long-term problems. Common orthodontic problems such as crowding, premature loss of baby teeth and cross bites may lead to the implementation of braces or other oral health treatments.
Before a child gets braces, it is important for a parent to discuss the procedure with his or her son or daughter. By doing so, this child will understand exactly what to expect from the installation procedure, along with how braces will help improve his or her teeth. The Super Dentists can discuss all about braces with you and your child to better prepare you both for the process.
For children, it is common to wear braces for one to two years. And in some cases, kids may need to wear braces for up to three years.
Comparatively, adult braces treatments may require more time than children's treatments because their bones have finished growing. Adults frequently wear braces for 18 months to three years. However, there are new dental technologies available to accelerate the time in braces. The Super Dentists use both AcceleDent and PROPEL to reduce time in braces by about half the time.
Also, both children and adults may need to wear a retainer after their braces are removed to help maintain the results of a braces treatment.
There are many key indicators that can help determine if braces are right for your child, including:
• Your child's teeth appear crowded or crooked
• Your child's jaw shifts or make noises
• Your child commonly bites the sides or roof of his or her mouth
• Your child often struggles to chew food
• Your child frequently breathes through his or her mouth
If your son or daughter encounters any of these issues, you should consider a pediatric orthodontic evaluation to determine if braces will serve as a viable option to help him or her overcome such problems. The Super Dentists can let you know if your child needs braces or another treatment to help with their dental issue.
Yes! Both children and adults can reap the benefits of braces. Perhaps you had braces as a kid and now your teeth have shifted. The Super Dentists have an array of teeth straightening methods that weren't around when you were a kid. From their exclusive AADvance Braces™ to Invisalign and Incognito, ask The Super Dentists if you would be a good candidate for braces.
For children, crooked or crowded teeth, overbites or underbites may cause long-lasting oral health problems if they are not treated. In addition, incorrect jaw position and disorders may result in chewing and speaking problems that can be exceedingly difficult to repair as a child ages.
Braces, however, can help correct these problems at an early age. Thus, braces can correct many oral health issues to provide significant value for your child and enable him or her to enjoy a healthy smile for a lifetime.
Simply meet with a pediatric orthodontist for an evaluation, and your child will be able to get the support that he or she needs and find out how braces can help improve his or her smile. The Super Dentists will let you know all that needs to be done if your child needs braces.
According to the American Dental Association, an overbite typically can be treated within one to three years with braces.
An overbite occurs when the top teeth vertically overlap the bottom teeth. This issue is most commonly seen in children. And if left untreated, an overbite may cause gum disease, tooth decay and other oral health problems that may affect a child's teeth, along with his or her speech and chewing.
Fortunately, braces can be adjusted to even out the top and bottom teeth. That way, braces can help improve a child's smile and reduce the risk of many common oral health problems.

Absolutely! For your convenience, we can schedule you and your child's dentist appointments at the same time. While you are always welcome to be present at your child's dental appointment, it is not imperative.
While you are receiving dental treatment with your dentist, your child will be with his/her pediatric dentist or orthodontist and dental assistant. The Super Dentists understand the needs of children, including those with special needs, and will ensure your child's comfort and safety.
Definitely! In addition to our pediatric dentists and orthodontists, The Super Dentists also have adult dentists at our locations. Keep in mind that pediatric dentists and orthodontists are dental specialist who attended dental school in addition to their specialty training. That means all of our dentists are proficient in treating all ages in addition to their specialties.
Visiting the dentist twice a year has become the norm. The benefit of regular dental checkups is to prevent problems. Catching dental issues and treating them at an early stage is more manageable and can save money. Visiting the dentist every six months is a good recommendation; however, people with good oral health who are low risk for cavities or gum disease may be able to go annually. While those with a higher risk for dental disease may want to see their dentist every three to four months.
Yes, adults can get cavities. However, adults are generally more conscientious about brushing, flossing and limiting sweets in their diets, which can help prevent cavities. Adult teeth are also not as soft as baby teeth.
Of course! Teeth can shift with age, so it isn't unusual to need braces again as an adult. Braces have come a long way since you were a kid. The Super Dentists use the newest technologies to straighten teeth including Invisalign, Incognito and our exclusive and proprietary AADvance Braces. Plus, by using PROPEL or AcceleDent with your braces, your teeth can be straightened in about half the time.
There is no age limit for braces, as long as your teeth, gums and jaw are healthy. Whether you had braces in the past, or you've decided that now is the time to perfect your smile, our orthodontists can help. If you want your teeth straightened, The Super Dentists can advise you and create a treatment plan.
Generally, any type of braces may be used for adults. Specifically, you will need to meet with The Super Dentists orthodontist to determine the best type of braces for you. The Super Dentists have noticed that nowadays more adults are getting braces and created the Accelodontics orthodontic package. Accelodontics is a proprietary 5-step program including our exclusive AADvance Braces and AADvance Whitening. The Super Dentists will advise you on our comprehensive options for adult braces.
While technologies for braces have changed, some things have remained the same. Yes, you will need a retainer to keep your teeth in place once the braces have done their job.
Research has shown that fluoride disrupts acid production and is important for fighting tooth decay in adult teeth. Many adults drink fluoridated water or use dental products such as toothpaste or mouthwash with fluoride, which is sufficient. Your dentist will let you know if your teeth need additional fluoride treatment.
If your wisdom teeth are not causing pain and they are correctly positioned in your mouth, then you will likely not have to have your wisdom teeth extracted. Although, if you are feeling pain or suspect your wisdom teeth are problematic, The Super Dentists can check them and let you know if your wisdom teeth are okay or need to be removed.
TMJ is an acronym for the temporomandibular joint. When this joint along with surrounding muscles that control jaw movement cause pain, it may be a sign of a temporomandibular joint disorder or TMD. The Super Dentists will be able to determine if you do have TMJ / TMD. Depending on your diagnosis, you may be prescribed a pain medication or an oral appliance to see if the pain dissipates. For chronic cases where the pain and other symptoms persist, The Super Dentists will discuss orthodontic options including surgical procedures. The first step is to find out if you do have TMJ / TMD. After evaluation, The Super Dentists can recommend a treatment plan.
As we age, the enamel on our teeth begins to wear down from use. If you are concerned about this, ask The Super Dentists about restorative dentistry. You will also want to keep your gums healthy to avoid disease. If gum disease isn't treated, it can harm your bones. Another issue that can affect adults is dry mouth. Make sure you stay hydrated, as dry mouth can lead to tooth decay. The best way to keep your mouth healthy is to follow good dental habits and visit The Super Dentists regularly.
Research has shown that it is indeed safe to whiten teeth. The Super Dentists uses several safe and effective teeth whitening technologies including LaserSmile and ezlase laser whitening, along with Zoom! teeth bleaching. The Super Dentists have also created our exclusive AADvance Whitening that you can get only at our offices. Ask The Super Dentists which teeth whitening method will work best to improve your smile.
You can whiten your teeth before a special event such as a wedding or class reunion, or anytime you want a bright and confident smile. As we age, teeth can yellow. Whitening teeth can provide a younger appearance. If you have teeth sensitivity from whitening, you may want to wait a little longer between teeth whitening treatments. Most teeth whitening techniques will keep your smile bright for six months to a year.
Practicing good oral hygiene goes a long way to help prevent gum disease, also called periodontal disease. Daily habits including brushing teeth including along the gum line, flossing and using mouthwash, as well as eating a healthy diet and visiting The Super Dentists regularly will go a long way to keep your gums healthy.
Early stage gum disease is treated using non-surgical procedures. Deep cleaning under the gum line, called scaling and root planning, is performed to remove plaque and tarter that a regular cleaning cannot reach. If gum disease is more advanced, surgery may be required. It is important to treat gum disease so that it does not weaken bones, which can lead to tooth loss.
There are many toothpaste options. Depending on your particular needs, you can find a brand that will work best for you. With the popularity of bottled water, fluoride toothpaste is recommended to help fight cavities. The other beneficial health qualities you'll find in toothpastes include whitening, sensitivity, tartar protection, enamel strengthening and plaque fighting. Some toothpaste brands have several benefits in one tube. Choose a paste or gel with the American Dental Association (ADA) seal. The ADA seal ensures that the claims made by the manufacturer are true. Remember, the only way you can get the full benefit of whichever toothpaste you choose is to brush for two minutes at least twice a day.
Flossing should be performed at least once a day, but ideally every time you brush. Flossing reaches plaque and food particles that linger under the gum line and are not reached by brushing. You can also help prevent plaque buildup and gum disease. Unwaxed floss is recommended for people with teeth that are closer together. Waxed floss isn't as easy to use if there is a tight fit between teeth, but it has less likelihood of breaking than unwaxed floss. A dental floss holder, a small plastic tool with a handle that has floss at the end, is an option for those who have trouble holding floss or reaching in their mouth. The Super Dentists encourages parents to teach their children to floss at a young age. Parents should floss as a good example for their children and to keep their teeth and gums healthy. Ask your dentists for a refresher course in flossing and if there is a specific floss that will work best for you.
Most people believe that mouthwash is just to prevent bad breath, but studies have shown there are other benefits to rinsing with mouthwash. Before using mouthwash to cover bad breath, make sure that you don't have dental issues that are causing bad breath. A visit to The Super Dentists will let you know if your teeth and gums are healthy. Mouthwash has been shown to help prevent plaque buildup and reduce the chances of getting cavity. Check labels for brands that have the American Dental Association (ADA) seal so that you know the claims made on the package have been confirmed. Ask The Super Dentists if you would benefit from a mouthwash that contains fluoride, fights bacteria, has whitening or reduces sensitivity. With your dentist, you can find the best brand for your needs. Keep in mind that mouthwash alone cannot provide oral health benefits. Rinsing with mouthwash needs to be performed along with brushing and flossing to get the positive effects.

Just another street in Buenos Aires
While in Argentina, I wish I had more days in Buenos Aires, but I made the most of what i could. This usually involves waking up very early and going to sleep very late. It gets a little hard after a few days, but I get into "content acquisition mode", and I try not to make excuses for sleep!
Many parts of Buenos Aires are very colorful and fun. I'm not sure how all these individual tenants get together to decide on colors, but they end up looking kinda cool, even with minimal coordination. I guess the guy on the left there just thought, "I'll paint my wall orange", and then he did it, and it just looks cool. It kind of reminds me of how rappers can put on the craziest hat in the world and it still looks pretty cool on them. I don't get it. I only look cool in one kind of hat - a baseball cap (with a mild tone).

I did some playing with it and I found it to be a bit annoying because from my findings it keeps popping up a window of the last post you made even if the browser did not crash.
So I do find it a good thing its not active by default how ever it does sound like a good feature. This is a feature IPb does not even have that I am aware of.
I was wondering though could an none auto save feature be added, like a draft type thing so that if you are typing a long post you can save half way though it and if the browser does crash you can go though drafts and finish it. Just an idea I had. The idea kind of did come from the way gmail autosaves when your typing an email and you can always delete the drafts later if you changed your mind on posting that or posted some thing different.
I run http://otakuplayground.com and am hopping to make themes and other things for ocportal even though I no longer use it for otakuplayground.com I still love it and feel it could go far with the right help. It needs themes and needs people to advertise for it.
We'll remember what you said about the usability aspect .

Your doing good work and I am going to be downloading and installing ocPortal 3.2 some time this week.
You already have a better system then mkportal by far as that does not even have its own forum and the last time I used it or was on a site that used it the darn thing was so buggy with ipb 2.2 that the site died and by the time I talked them into getting ocPortal it was to late even though some did come back do to the bugs being gone but the owner did not like that we only had a few active members so it was closed. Kind of sad but it does show that your system is far better and less buggy then mkportal and yes it was the latest version of mkportal.
Your is better then sub dreamer as well, even though they have a lot of good looking skins the system is hard to use and does not have that many features and I have seen it mess up databases, my test site being one of them. It does some strange things to the IPB database making the removal of subdreamer very difficult but can be done, just have to remove all the junk they added to the IPB part of the database. I am glad yours does not add to the IPB database, well it does add profile fields but thats nothing and easy to take care of.

text: Well....This spring I bid a new housing development that is going up in our area. The land was rough, and there was just mostly weeds for turf, but I decided I would through a high figure out there and see what happens. Well I wasn't the low bidder, but I did get the job. So far so goo, but there is one problem. Like I said the "turf" is mostly weeds, with alot of thistles. They get growing rather tall when I come to cut it every 2 weeks.....all the other grass/weeds stay short and dont need it. My Exmark doesn't always cut them off, sometimes just pushing them over. This makes for an unfinished look tall thistle sticking up. I know that this place is in the early stages of development, and "who cares what the weeds look like". But I want my work to look the best. They are planning on spraying the entire thing at the end of the year and planting "real" grass, but until then, its cutting thistle. So do any of you have any tips on how to get the thistles to cut. The development has 16 houses on it. Thanks

Publishers don't need to invest $100,000-plus in custom app development, or re-work your entire website around HTML5 and responsive design, to engage the growing numbers of your audience who are accessing your content through smartphones or tablets. You can start by thinking of new ways to package your content to make it more appealing on a smaller screen, or more useful to a user on the go.
Here are four methods that publishers can leverage to increase their mobile presence.
Create e-books
E-books are an appealing format for magazine or pure-play digital publishers looking to repackage existing content without a heavy development investment. For example, Forbes Chief Product Officer Lewis Dvorkin has turned his blog posts on Forbes' evolving journalism model into an e-book - an eating-his-own-dog-food display of entrepreneurial journalism.
The e-book, produced by a started called Hyperink, is priced at $4.95 and is available in Kindle, iPad, Nook and PDF formats. Dvorkin explained the process in a blog post:
"Hyperink ... indexed all my posts (probably 60 or so) to identify keyword patterns and engagement levels (views, comments and backlinks). The result was a ranked list of my posts that helped determine the book's initial outline. Keyword and search data were also used to find anchor words for a title. Then, an editor was brought in to determine the book's organization and structure and to increase readability through a round of light editing and proofreading."
Dvorkin said he put in about 20 hours of his own editing time. Hyperink created a cover, formatted the book (PDF, epub and mobi), then submitted it to the app stores. Forbes is now working with Hyperink to develop a regular digital publishing schedule for Forbes' growing roster of content creators.
Technology publisher GigaOM also joined the ranks of e-book publishers this week with the launch of, you guessed it, GigaOM Books. The new imprint, VP Michael Wolf writes, is "where we'll publish new works from our own team of writers as well as other great voices we've discovered. We'll also publish some of our most popular reports from GigaOM Pro, allowing, for the first time, access in e-book format to great research on Kindle, Nook and iPad."
GigaOM has created a site to sell the book and is currently offering six titles, with prices ranging from $2.99 to $9.99.
Variations on e-books hold appeal to publishers as well. E-book siblings include "singles" (a way for publishers to monetize long-form content). Several Hearst brands publish e-singles, from Good Housekeeping (Amazing Soup Diet) to Cosmopolitan (Sexiest Stories Ever). Rodale has also launched a series of e-singles, including "Essential Guides" from Runner's World.
B2B publishers are experimenting with the guidebook theme as well. Farm Journal Media, for example, is developing an app version of its Online Field Guide, a database to help farmers identify and manage weeds, diseases and pests that affect their crops.
Repackage data
Media companies, especially B2B publishers, generally have access to a lot of data - even if it's not their own. Mobile presents an opportunity to package and publish data in new and interesting ways, in either text message or app form, to help people find information or complete tasks during work or leisure time.
Don't think there's utility here? One of Farm Journal Media's most popular offerings is Commodity Update, a subscription service that delivers commodity pricing alerts to farmers' phones throughout the day.
"The service lets you pick which commodities and which types of contracts you want to track, and then pings you SMS listings of current prices on a schedule you select, between one and nine times per day," said Mitch Rouda, president of eMedia at Farm Journal Media. "A user can also ping the service and get current prices on demand."
More than 70,000 farmers have signed up to receive the data, which is compiled from the Chicago Board of Trade. Farm Journal monetises the alerts through annual subscriptions (prices range between $9.95 a month and $99.95 a year) and sponsorships.
Use geolocation
Publishers can localise their content to make it more compelling to mobile users. There's tons of room for consumer and B2B publishers to innovate with location-based content.
The June editions of Rodale's Men's Health and Women's Health, for example, feature a GPS-enabled UV index that auto-loads current UV risk-factor readings based on the user's location, as part of its coverage of skin cancer protection.
Last month, Farm Journal Media launched Cash Grain Bids, a location-based app for iPhone or Android that helps farmers compare local grain prices. Farmers select the crop they want prices on, enable their phone's location service, and receive bids from five local grain elevators. A click-to-call option lets the farmer complete the transaction.
Integrate with another medium
A Q1 study by Viacom found that U.S. tablet owners used their devices at home 74 per cent of the time. A similar survey of tablet owners in Europe found that 80 per cent use their tablets in the living room. A Nielsen survey of consumers in the U.S. and Europe found that 88 per cent of tablet owners use their device while watching TV.
This trend bodes well for enthusiast publications that can tie their content into broadcast or cable programming to create a more interactive experience. TVGuide.com, for example, has been following this trend and is working on a new iPad app targeted at TV-watching tablet users.
"We've seen a big shift in behaviour with our audience," said David Singer, VP of product development for TVGuide.com. "We're learning to cater to them, which is helping to shape our product roadmap." TVGuide.com's new iPad app, which Singer's team is developing in-house, is due later this summer.

Peppermint Bark is a family tradition at our house during the holidays! Crunchy white chocolate layered with creamy dark peppermint chocolate and crushed candy canes! We make this delicious treat for all the holiday parties and Christmas stockings.
My funniest memory regarding Peppermint Bark has to be with my first busy little four year old years ago. He was always aggressively pounding on something or other. I thought crushing the peppermints would be the perfect job to keep him busy. (In a positive way.)
So I sent him out to the driveway to bang on peppermints with a veggie can. He was excited. I mean, really excited. The peppermints were in an old camping pan lined with a dish towel. The banging went on and on and then it got really quiet.
I went out to check on him. He'd gotten a little carried away with well doing. Half the driveway was covered in crushed peppermints. We laughed and laughed. (And thankfully I had more peppermints inside.) For weeks we had the sparkliest driveway in the neighborhood. Just in time for Christmas.
Peppermint Bark shouts "Christmas" loud and clear from snowy rooftops. This Peppermint Bark recipe is extra yummy because it has whipping cream mixed in with the bittersweet chocolate. This makes the top chocolate layer creamy. It's also highly addictive.
I pack it in 1/4 lb. candy boxes for gift giving. White box. Red and white striped bow. It seems that even Santa himself prefers Peppermint Bark to cookies, based on an experiment we conducted last Christmas Eve.(!)
Crush the peppermints and set aside.
Melt the vanilla candy wafers.
Spread onto parchment paper. Cool.
Dollop the melted chocolate, peppermint extract and whipping cream mixture onto the white chocolate.
Spread chocolate mixture evenly on top of first layer, then sprinkle with crushed peppermints.
Cool in refrigerator for 15 minutes. Then let sit out for 5 or 10 minutes. (If you cut it too soon, the hard white layer underneath won't cut cleanly because it's too cold.)
Chop into triangles with a sharp butcher knife and quick, hard pressure.
Package into 1/4 lb. candy boxes for gift giving. Peppermint Bark: It's how we roll for the holidays. This treat should be refrigerated because of the whipping cream in the dark chocolate layer.
Yields 1
Peppermint Bark is delightful any time of year, but especially at Christmas. Use good quality chocolate! This is highly addictive and makes a great gift packaged in 1/4 lb. candy boxes.
35 minPrep Time
35 minTotal Time
- 16 ounces white vanilla candy wafer disks (buy at A.C. Moore or Michael's)
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
- 4 tablespoons whipping cream
- crushed starlite peppermint candies or candy canes
- Melt vanilla candy wafer disks according to package directions. (I use the microwave.)
- Spread onto a 24" X 18" foil or parchment square on top of an inverted baking pan.
- Let harden.
- Slowly melt chopped chocolate over very low heat.
- Remove from heat when just melted.
- Stir in peppermint extract and whipping cream.
- Spread melted chocolate mixture evenly on top of white candy layer.
- Sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies.
- Chill until just hardened, about 15 minutes.
- Wait 10-15 minutes, then cut into triangles.
- Refrigerate!
How to crush the peppermints: leave in plastic wrappers, place in a heavy duty ziploc bag and bang with the sharp edge of a veggie can. Or use a food processor. (Please take off wrappers first if using the food processor!)
Refrigerate peppermint bark!
