Is soda public enemy number one for your teeth? Spoiler alert, it's not. You may be surprised by public enemy number one for your teeth.
All superheroes have an arch-enemy. Superman battles Lex Luthor, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Batman tries to keep the Joker from burning down Gotham City. Spiderman faces a number of villains, often referred to as the Sinister Six.
But did you know your smile also faces a sister group of foods and beverages? These normally mild-mannered edibles can turn white teeth yellow, and leave unsightly stains on your precious teeth. In today's blog from the Bayou Dental Group, in Monroe, LA, we're going to look at six sinister things which can stain your smile.
Enemy #6: A Glass of Wine
We love wine. Really, who doesn't? After a day at the office, I like to unwind with a nice glass of white wine. Chardonnay from the Napa Valley in California is quite nice. When I'm eating steak, I might wash it down with a nice glass of Malbec from the Mendoza region of Argentina.
Red wine contains a whole host of natural dyes and sugars from the grapes used to make it. In fact, you've probably noticed staining on your tongue. The same dyes that stain your tongue can have the same affect on your teeth, and the tannins in the wine can make your teeth stain more quickly as the dyes tend to stick to them.
Even white wine dukes it out with the whiteness of your teeth. Although it contains fewer dyes than red wine, it is still quite acidic. The acid in the wine breaks down the enamel of your teeth, which can allow other foods to stain them.
Enemy #5: Fresh Fruit
This one may surprise you, as eating fresh fruit should be part of a balanced diet. However, fresh fruit contains the same natural dyes as red wine. Imagine you have a handful of berries in your hand and you squeeze them; even after washing your hands, you might notice stains on your skin. This true for your teeth and the chewing of these fruit as well.
Enemy #4: Coffee
We drink a lot of coffee at the office. I imagine this is true throughout the region, hence the popularity of coffee shops. But coffee is notorious for staining your teeth. This staining is caused by the acidity of coffee, as it breaks down your enamel. This leaves microscopic pits and ridges all over your teeth.
Coffee is made from ground coffee beans, and though you may not see them, small particles of the beans remain in the coffee. These particles weasel their way into the pits and ridges of your teeth, and often stain them as a result.
Enemy #3: Sushi
Okay it's not really the fish in sushi that wrecks havoc your teeth. Instead, it's the garnishes that come with the sushi. Soy sauce is dark in color because of dyes within it, some of these are natural, some of them are artificial. They will all stain your teeth.
Wasabi naturally blocks the growth of bacteria, which would normally make it safe to enjoy without fear of staining your teeth. However, a lot of wasabi is now artificially-colored with green dyes. Just like the dyes in the soy sauce, these dyes will stain your teeth, especially if you are using a lot of soy sauce to balance out the heat.
Enemy #2: Soda
Soda ranks high this list because we all drink it so often. Take Coke or Pepsi, both are filled with artificial dyes and sugar. The dyes will stain your teeth, as the sugar causes them to decay. Even non-sugared, diet sodas and clear sodas pose a lot of problems as well. All sodas are extremely, extremely acidic. You've probably heard about how soda can remove rust from an engine? That's not a myth. Just imagine what it's doing to your teeth.
Enemy #1: Nicotine
So this isn't really a food or a beverage, but we felt we should give you another reason to quit smoking. Cigarettes, as well as most smokeless tobacco products, e-cigarettes, and vaping devices all deliver a stream of nicotine and other chemicals into your mouth. These chemicals leave nasty stains that are nearly impossible to remove without professional help.
Battle These Enemies with Professional Teeth Whitening
You don't have to battle all these enemies alone. Luckily for you, we offer Professional Teeth Whitening at the Bayou Dental Group in Monroe, LA. With the Zoom! system of whitening products, we can have your teeth looking great in no time at all. Click here to fight back against these sinister stainers and make your teeth look great.

Torontonians and members of the Ryerson community gathered at a vigil at Allan Gardens Tuesday night to honour the lives of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls.
Heather Lewis Blaker was there to remember her daughter and husband. Her daughter died in the summer of 2014. Blaker's husband was also murdered 25 years ago.
"Just stop the killing," said Blaker. "I mean the system sucks. Life is too precious."
The vigil, Sisters in Spirit, is an annual nationwide event. The vigil was organized by the Native Women's Resource Centre (NWRCT).
Blaker spoke publicly about the deaths in her family, her own experiences with alcohol and attempting to take her own life.
"My daughter's spirit has been beside me and behind me and I am clean and sober for seven months now. I pray every day. I feel her with me, keeping me stronger," she said.
The vigil is part of a global movement for social change where indigenous and non-indigenous people stand in solidarity and voice their stories and concerns about missing and murdered indigenous women and girls.
According to the Native Women's Association of Canada's (NWAC) database, since 2010 the number of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls in Canada has been disproportionately high. NWAC's research indicates that between 2000 and 2008, Aboriginal women and girls represented approximately 10 per cent of all female homicides in Canada even though they only make up three per cent of the female population.
Aboriginal women are three times more likely to be killed by a stranger than non-Aboriginal women, according to the NWAC.
The event included a series of activities like cedar tree planting, jingle dress dance and a community feast.
Ryerson students also participated in the vigil to show their support for families of the victims. Students designed banners and walked to the vigil to show solidarity and engage with the community.
Sarena Johnson, advocacy co-ordinator at NWRCT said, "It's extremely important for Ryerson to show solidarity being on indigenous land – the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation – and being such a local school…this is a really good opportunity for them to do that, while also learning a little about our culture."
Phyllis McKenna, a Ryerson student and vice-president equity at the Continuing Education Students' Association of Ryerson, said that she doesn't know of any indigenous person who hasn't been affected by missing and murdered indigenous women and girls.
McKenna, who is Anishinaabe, said she hopes Ryerson becomes more aware and acknowledges inequalities at the university and in the city.
"A part of the Truth and Reconciliation is that we are responsible to ensure that Canada's relationship with indigenous peoples is repaired," McKenna concluded.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was formed in 2008 to teach Canadians about the ways in which residential schools affected Aboriginal individuals and communities, as well as the steps necessary to heal and to move forward.
Ryerson will be hosting talking circles in response to the TRC during the month of October.

It feels like everyone got their overdose of Mumford-style music in the past couple years, and frankly, a lot of great Americana and roots bands got overlooked due to Mumford fatigue. Fortunately, the goodones still play on, and Tuesday you'd do yourself a favor to catch Frankie Boots & the County Line. With a slew of members, this San Francisco band might have you reminiscing about Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros or even Of Monsters and Men, but judging from their performance footage, once you see them the memory should stand alone. Around town, Pyles has a local showcase at Casbah with Bandalier, while Halloran goes head to head at the Merrow with Little Heroine. Don't let a little water falling from the sky keep you from a rockin' Tuesday night.

Australia captain Ricky Ponting reflected on the growing influence of Andy Bichel as an international cricketer after another match-winning display from the Queenslander.
Bichel struck a maiden one-day international half-century at St George's Park as the Australians extended their record unbeaten one-day run to 14 matches.
Despite being reduced to 84 for seven by New Zealand, who have dominated their Tasman rivals in recent times, the world champions triumphed by 96 runs thanks to Bichel's grit.
Ten days ago he claimed a career-best seven for 20 and 34 not out in the final-over win over England and returned to prosper once again on a stodgy Port Elizabeth strip.
"He is certainly playing better," Ponting said of the former Worcestershire all-rounder.
"His attitude has always been outstanding whether he has been playing or not.
"He gives his absolute best all the time whether with bat or ball and it has come off for him twice here."
Shane Bond's man-of-the-match return six for 23 threatened to halt Australia's winning streak after New Zealand won the toss.
But Bichel found a willing ally in Michael Bevan for a second successive match here.
Against England they shared an unbroken stand of 73 to secure victory and yesterday they both struck half-centuries as Australia recovered to 208 for nine.
"We have got a lot of very good players in a very good team and we back ourselves to win from any situation," said Ponting. "We did that again today.
Bichel added: "With so many overs to go I just tried to get myself in and then bat as long as we could."

Parents and grandparents of children with special needs gathered for a Christmas Night Celebration on Saturday, December 16th. The Christmas Night Celebration was hosted by the Santa Cruz Parent Love Connection and funded by SANDS the Southern Arizona Network for Down Syndrome, parents, and contributions from the community. The event took place in the dining room annex at the McDonald's on Mariposa Rd. in Nogales Arizona. Children and youth with special needs along with their parents attended the celebration. Special needs children and youth received a free meal and a present from their parents. The celebration included holiday trimmings with Santa Claus distributing presents to all special needs children and youth in attendance.

(Root Canal Therapy)
Root Canal (or 'Endodontic') therapy is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth where the nerve has become infected or injured, often due to tooth decay. 'Endo' is the Greek word for inside and 'dont' is the Greek word for tooth; precisely Endodontic therapy treats the inside of a tooth.
During a root canal procedure the nerve and pulp (living tissue inside the tooth), as well as any bacteria and decay, are removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. This allows us to save the tooth, whereas in the past the tooth may have needed to be extracted.
Contrary to what you may have heard, or 'jokes' you may have read, modern root canal treatment is very similar to having a routine filling and you can expect a comfortable experience during and after your procedure. For nervous or anxious patients we do offer a range of sedation options which you can read about here.
After root canal therapy has been completed, a crown (restoration) is recommended to protect, strengthen and further seal the tooth, as it will have become more brittle. For more information about crowns, please click here.
Advantages of saving the natural tooth with root canal treatment:
There are many advantages of saving the natural tooth instead of having it extracted, including:
- Maintain normal biting force and sensation. This will ensure efficient chewing function and prevent any negative impacts on diet.
- Prevents tooth shifting causing malocclusion ('bad bite') and also protects other surrounding teeth from excessive wear and strain.
- Prevents bone deterioration in the jaw.
- Maintain natural appearance and prevent 'sagging' of the face.
Where is the pulp in a tooth and what does it do?
'Root Canal' is the term used to describe the open space within the root of the tooth that extends up into the pulp chamber, which is the innermost portion of the tooth (see diagram below).
The pulp of a tooth is made up of soft tissue. It contains blood vessels to supply blood and nutrients to the tooth to keep it alive, and nerves to enable the tooth to sense pressure and temperature (hot and cold). It also contains small lymph vessels carrying white blood cells to the tooth to help fight bacteria.
What happens when the pulp becomes damaged?
When a tooth's pulp becomes damaged (from decay or trauma), it breaks down and bacteria begin to multiply within the pump chamber; dominating and killing the white blood cells intended to eliminate them.
The bacteria and other decayed debris can then cause an infection within the root canal. Once the pulp becomes infected, it loses its ability to fight the spread of the infection.
The aim of a successful root canal treatment is to remove the bacteria and prevent it from getting back into the tooth.
If left untreated:
If the infection is left untreated it can spread into the surrounding bone. Abscesses (pus-filled pockets) may then form at the root(s) of the tooth ('apical foramen'), and there may be localised bone loss in the jaw around the ends of the infected root canal. Eventually the tooth will need to be extracted (removed).
What damages the pulp in the first place?
Reasons why a tooth's pulp can become irritated, inflamed and infected include: deep decay within the tooth, a chip or crack in the tooth, or trauma to the face.
Can a tooth survive without the pulp?
The pulp is important during the tooth's growth and development stages, however once the tooth has erupted through the gums and is fully mature the pulp is not vitally important to the tooth's health or survival. The function of the nerve is only sensory – to provide the sensation of pressure and temperature (hot and cold).
The absence of the pulp and nerve will not affect the day to day functioning of the tooth, and the tooth will continue to be nourished by the tissues surrounding it.
What are the signs a root canal is needed?
It is important to take note that in some cases there will be no pain or other symptoms present. However, general symptoms include:
- Prolonged sensitivity or pain to hot and cold temperatures (after the temperature has been removed from the tooth).
- Severe toothache pain upon chewing or the application of pressure.
- Discolouration of the tooth (it will darken).
- Swelling and tenderness of the gums near the tooth.
- A recurring or persistent pimple on the gums.
The Procedure:
The procedure is generally done over three appointments. Firstly the infected nerve and pulp is removed ('extirpation'), then the canals are measured and cleaned of old debris ('mechanical preparation') and lastly the canals are sealed ('obturation').
Root canal therapy procedure- Summary:
Root canal therapy procedure- Animation:
A full explanation of the procedure is below:
During your appointments (mainly the second and third) the tooth will be isolated using a rubber dam (also called a 'dental dam'). A rubber dam is a thin rectangular sheet made of latex rubber used to isolate one or more teeth from the rest of the mouth (if you are allergic to latex we have non-latex versions available). Isolating the tooth has a number of purposes:
- To prevent the bacteria in saliva from coming into contact with the tooth and therefore re-contaminating it.
- It keeps the tooth surface dry and ensures a clear view for the dentist.
- Prevents water and solutions (such as bleach) used in the procedure from entering your mouth and throat.
- Protects your throat from particles of tooth debris, and prevents instruments (such as tiny files) from accidentally entering the mouth or being inhaled.
- Helps prevent your gag reflex being triggered.
- Protects lips and cheeks by keeping them shielded.
Be assured you can still breathe and swallow normally with a rubber dam in place.
To place the rubber dam, a hold puncher is firstly used to make a hole in the sheet so it can fit around the tooth. The sheet is then put onto a metal frame to assist in placing it, and is then stretched over the tooth (so the tooth sticks out through the punched hole). A small metal clamp is then placed around the tooth to prevent the dam from slipping and to create a water tight barrier.
First appointment
Pulp extirpation is the removal of the nerve of the tooth. An opening is made in the tooth to create access to the root canals. An x-ray will be taken to confirm the root canal has been located. Then the pulp, nerve and infected tissue is removed using a small instrument called a broach. Anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory medication is them placed inside the tooth for both pain relief and to start sterilising the tooth. A temporary filling is placed to seal the hole – keeping the medication in and any further bacteria out.
Second appointment
Mechanical Preparation
Also called 'instrumentation', it involves measuring the root canal lengths and cleaning them out (debriding). Firstly, the temporary filling is removed and the tooth is re-accessed through the opening.
Measuring the root canals:
There are two ways the dentist can measure the root canals: using x-rays and an instrument called an apex locator. At VC Dental we use a combination of both to provide an accurate picture.
The root canal lengths will be calculated to what is known as the 'working distance' (distance from the 'apex' – ends of the root). This needs to be calculated for all the canals in the tooth as their lengths will vary. Canal length measurement is important because if the measurement is too short, bacteria and infection can remain in the tip (end) of the canal; and if it is too long it can cause irritation to the tissue surrounding the tooth.
Cleaning the root canals:
Now the canal lengths have been established, they need to be cleaned and shaped to those measurements. This is the most crucial stage in root canal treatment. Cleaning the root canal is necessary to remove as much bacteria, and remnants of nerve and decayed tissue, from the roots as possible.
The process requires 'chemo-mechanical preparation', meaning it requires chemical action in the form of dental bleach (sodium hypochlorite) and mechanical action in the form of filing.
Files are used to enlarge, shape and smooth the canals (so they can receive fillings and sealers in the next appointment). At VC Dental we use a combination of hand (manual) and rotary (electric) files to ensure the best result.
Because the root canal structure is made up of a system of interconnecting smaller canals (rather than just one or two main canals), using hand and rotary files alone would not be sufficient. The chemical action of the bleach is essential to disinfect areas that the files alone cannot reach. Frequent flushing of the canals with bleach is crucial to success.
The canals will then be dressed with an anti-bacterial solution of calcium hydroxide. This paste has a very high pH to kill off any remaining bacteria in the canal before the final appointment to seal the canals. The temporary filling will then be replaced.
Third appointment
Obturation (sealing the canals):
Obturation means sealing the root canal completely with airtight sealing agents. Sealing the canals before placement of the final restoration is important to prevent them from becoming re-infected with bacteria.
The temporary filling is removed and the tooth is re-accessed through the opening. Firstly, a rubber-like root filling material called 'gutta-percha' is used to fill the canals. It is a thermoplastic material ('thermo' meaning heat and 'plastic' meaning shape) that is heated and then compressed into and against the root canal walls to seal them.
The gutta-percha is used in combination with an adhesive cement called a root canal sealer. The sealer is utilised as a lubricant and binding agent to eliminate any spaces within the canal where the gutta-percha may not be able to penetrate.
The temporary filling will be replaced until the final restoration is cemented.
Final Restoration
The temporary filling is removed and the opening is sealed with a permanent composite filling. A crown is then recommended to restore strength and functionality to the tooth.

Astra's Stargate page for Near Earth Asteroids and NEA Observers
Tracking the small, faint bodies in the solar system is a field where professional and amateur astronomers alike can make meaningful contributions. There are thousands are asteroids, as of February 1, 2016 over 13,700 NEOs have been discovered. Many of these are in orbits that may some day endanger our planet. Tracking them is difficult and challenging. Many of the are very small and faint and because of the orbits they are following, the ability to track them from Earth is limited. This site was inspired by NASA's Asteroid Redirect Mission that is under consideration. It is designed to bring a smal NEA into lunar orbit for exploration by Earth astronauts
Here's how the Near Earth Asteroid pages work:On this site, links to other sites generally open in a new window. If the new window is left open, any other link clicked should occupy that same window. Below is a description on the pages on the site and what you can expect to find there.
Asteroid Info on Near Earth Asteroids gives basic information on asteroids and Near Earth Asteroid. It also links to Astra's Asteroid Catalog that gives information on some of the NEAs that Astra finds interesting.
NEA Detection and Planetary Defense gives basic information on the programs that have been undertaken to find Near Earth Asteroids.
Asteroid Exploration Missions covers space missions that flew to or flew by asteroids on the way to other locations. On this site, links to other sites generally open in a new window. If the new window is left open, any other link clicked should occupy that same window.
NEA Observer Tools links to resources made available by various organizations to support Near Earth Asteroid detection and research.
NEA Organizations discusses those organizations that participate in the dection and study of Near Earth Asteroids
How to Make Near Earth Asteroid Observations gives hints and links to articles on making observations for amateurs and serious NEA seekers.
NASA's Asteroid Redirect Mission
The Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) plans to capture a small asteroid, redirect it into a stable lunar orbit, and then launch astronauts using newly developed rocket and spacecraft systems to explore it. ARM pushes the limits of current technologies to the next level, demands that the development of rockets and spacecraft to move human exploration beyond low Earth orbit and into the lunar arena. It encompasses both human and robotic space exploration. It is a multi-disciplinary effort that encourages lunar development, supports planetary defense from asteroid impacts, helps develop technologies to use local resources known as in-situ resource utilization (ISRU), and initiates the industry of asteroid mining. This mission has something for everyone.

In amongst the big news of Kinect and a smaller Xbox 360 console Microsoft also unveiled its Summer of Arcade games for 2010.
The video above gives a quick glimpse of each of the five titles, but here's some more detail on each:
Castlevania: Harmony of Despair
Developer and Publisher: Konami Digital Entertainment
Rumors of a new 2D Castlevania on XBLA first appeared back in April. It promises 6-player co-op and a versus mode according to Joystiq. Little is known about the game, but with footage appearing at E3 it won't take long for Konami to release some solid details about what to expect.
Hydro Thunder Hurricane
Developer: Vector Unit Games Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios
We saw an extended trailer of Hydro Thunder Hurricane at PAX 2010. Here's how Vector Unit describe it:
More than a mere "HD upgrade" of the classic game, Hydro Thunder Hurricane is full-featured sequel fans have been waiting for. With top-notch visuals, brand new over-the-top themed environments and dynamic water-based racing, Hydro Thunder is bigger, better and more awesome than ever…and it's only on XBLA.
Lara Croft and the Guardian of the Light
Developer: Crystal Dynamics Publisher: Square Enix
This game is a big departure from previous Tomb Raider games. Not only does it drop the Tomb Raider name, but it sports a fixed camera and isometric viewpoint. The restricted view may upset fans, but it does allow for a new style of gameplay for the series and some interesting scenarios, especially with navigation and puzzles.
Developer: Playdead Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios
Confirmed as an Xbox 360 exclusive at the end of last month, Limbo is all about atmosphere and keeping the player on edge all the time. It's the journey of a brave boy through a hostile black and white world. The game has already won the IGF Technical Excellence and Excellence in Visual Arts awards, and is surely worth picking up if you want something a bit different.
Monday Night Combat
Developer: Uber Entertainment Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios
This is the game we know least about. It's a 3rd-person shooter, but includes "finishing moves and game show-like challenges." Rewards for winning your fights include cash and fame. This may end up being the weakest of the games on release here, but we reserve judgement until more information is known about this unusual title.
Last year Microsoft offered gamers 800 Microsoft points if you buy all five games. There's no sign of that appearing again this year, but I'm hopeful it will as a nice extra incentive.

East Rio Road will Reopen to Through Traffic November 22
Realignment and reconstruction completed; Meadow Creek Parkway detour will be closed
East Rio Road will be reopened to traffic on Monday, Nov. 22 and the temporary detour on Meadow Creek Parkway will be closed. The traffic switch will begin after 7 p.m. on Monday evening and the new traffic pattern on East Rio Road will be in place by Tuesday morning.
Traffic using East Rio Road will continue to use the intersection at the northern end of the Meadow Creek Parkway. Motorists traveling east on Rio Road will turn left at the signal; traffic going to the Charlottesville-Albemarle Technical Education Center will turn right at the signal. The through lane that directed traffic south onto the parkway during the detour will be closed.
Traffic traveling north on Park Street will no longer turn left at Melbourne when the detour is closed. That traffic will continue north on East Rio Road to the signal, turning right to continue west on Rio Road or going straight through the intersection into the CATEC parking lot.
East Rio Road has been closed since Oct. 11 between Dunlora Drive and a point west of the intersection of East Rio Road and Pen Park Road. The closure was necessary so that section of East Rio Road could be rebuilt to connect to the northern end of the Meadow Creek Parkway and an underground utility pipe near the road could be relocated. Two new entrances to the Dunlora community were also completed.
The $11.8 million project is building a new 1.4-mile, two-lane parkway from East Rio Road south to the Charlottesville city limits at Melbourne Road. It includes the just-completed reconstruction of a portion of East Rio Road and replacement and widening of the bridge over the Norfolk Southern Railroad tracks. In addition to the parkway a 10-foot-wide paved pedestrian path will roughly parallel the road project through a linear park between Melbourne Road and East Rio Road. The path will be connected with the Rivanna Trails network when the project is finished.
The project, which is being built by Faulconer Construction Co. Inc, of Charlottesville, is scheduled for completion on Oct. 14, 2011.
More information about the Meadow Creek Parkway project is available on VDOT's web site: http://www.virginiadot.org/projects/culpeper/meadowcreek.asp

What are the Best Safety Features of the new 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter?
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2019 is a versatile and refined van that adapts to a wide range of commercial as well as fleet uses. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2019 is, well, the Mercedes-Benz passenger and cargo carriers for commercial van buyers. It may seem like last year's model from most angles; however, the Sprinter 2019 has a more relaxed interior, updated powertrains and the higher connectivity of any vehicle to carry the three-pointed star. For fleet operators, those with large budgets, at least the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is the ticket.
1. Styling
If there is such a thing as a nice van, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2019 is the best. However, the square exterior does not matter from the driver's seat, and its slab sides allow the logos of large companies. The front LED headlights point forward and is linked by high visibility LED taillights. The unpainted bumpers and steel wheels are standard, but hotel transport operators and those trying to project a more exclusive image can choose for painted and alloy wheels.
Inside the Sprinter has an attractive three-spoke steering wheel that can optionally be wrapped in leather, a valuable addition for drivers who spend the entire day behind the wheel. The board itself is curvilinear, with many small pockets to store things. The base Sprinters have a simple radio unit, but the optional 7.0 and 10.3-inch touch screens that float off the board give it an exclusive look.
2. Comfort and Quality
The driver and the passenger get the best seats in the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2019. In the front, the driver and passenger seats are comfortable and adjustable throughout the day. The power setting is optional and includes memory, a good function for vans that can be shared between several drivers over the course of a day or a week.
The outside view is stellar in the front, less for the passengers in the rear seats. Its rear benches are firm and vertical, with Spirit Airlines-grade leg room. The optional USB ports for rear seat passengers help, but the Sprinter is better used as a shuttle service in the city than a touring van for when the band is back together.
3. Safety
The 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter comes with 6 airbags and provides a wide range of advanced technology like automatic emergency braking, active lane control as well as adaptive cruise control. These important safety features are not only important but can also help reduce operating costs by eliminating fender benders.
4. Features
The Fleet buyers will want to spend an afternoon or two choosing the right configuration and options for their Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2019. The Sprinter comes in 4 body styles and 2 wheelbases, most of which can be ordered with a 4-cylinder gas engine or V-6 turbodiesel and rear-wheel or four-wheel drive.
The base sprinters are just that: basic. They have windows and electric locks, keyless ignition and air conditioning, but that's it. Standard connectivity allows fleet operators to track vans from a website or Smartphone app, but advanced features cost $ 30 per month. The Sprinter's myriad options include improved touch screens for information and entertainment in sizes of 7.0 and 10.3 inches, painted bumpers, various upholstery, alloy wheels, and different cargo management solutions. Check here.
The biggest advantage of driving the Mercedes Sprinter 2019 is that it simplifies the tasks of the van. For drivers, developed telematics and a better driving experience than ever, plus a lot of safety technology, should ease the stress of the long days behind the wheel. For passengers, there are more amenities to make travel more enjoyable.…Read More

Character Dessert Gudetama Gudetama Cafe Restaurant Review Sanrio Singapore Travel
Gudetama Cafe Singapore (Suntec City Mall, Singapore)
Gudetama Cafe Singapore might be one of the reason to visit Singapore for those who loves the lazy egg character by Sanrio (I mean, who doesn't love these super lazy egg?) It is an official cafe that opened back in 2016 at Suntec City Mall in the heart of Singapore. By the way, I'm sorry for not updating the blog for quite long time, I've been busy with daily life and barely got any chance (and motivation, lol!) to write new blog post. Don't worry, I'm still around and if you follow my instagram, I bet you know that I'm still posting! ;)
I visited the cafe back then in October 2017, so the cafe is decorated with halloween theme. Honestly, I did not expect the cafe to be very quiet and there were barely anyone there during my visit. Maybe the hype was already over, huh? Anyway, I have to say that I prefer the interior here than the one at Taiwan (read my review of Gudetama Chef Taiwan here!), though exterior-wise, the one in Taiwan still win with gigantic Gudetama sticking on the wall!
Look at how adorable that Gude-Dracula, I'm glad I visited on halloween time!
I just had my dinner before I came to the cafe, so I just tried the dessert and drinks at the Gudetama Cafe Singapore, let's get started with the review of their food!
Gude Pudding (SGD 16.90++)
|Gude Pudding
Gude Pudding is caramel flan with premium vanilla soft serve, caramelized bananas, apple crumble and a crisp sesame orange tuile. First impression, the Gude Pudding was so adorable and the portion was huge, I bet this will be good to be shared for 2 persons. Taste-wise, it tasted pretty decent and I love the not-so-sweet caramelized banana which gives crunchy sensation!
Hula Hula (SGD 8.50++)
Hula-Hula is basically mango infused rose tea topped with fresh strawberries. It was served in the jar with gudetama face on it. It tasted pretty good and it's too bad that they don't have the souvenir bottle for the beverages like the one that they have in Taiwan.
|Boing Boing
Overall, I had a good dessert at Gudetama Cafe Singapore, I have to say that I did not expect much about the taste of their food since themed cafe usually focuses on the presentation itself rather than the taste. But it's good to know that the quality of their food is not terrible. Though it's a little bit pricey, I do recommend you to come here, especially if you are a Gudetama fan! :D

I attended last year but only as a partial camper since I had conflicting events the same weekend. This year the camp is going to be a sleep away camp for me since it is in another part of the state. I'm pretty excited to visit someplace I have never been and meet with other bloggers. This weekend I decided to do some prep work to get ready for camp.
My friend NWA Foodie is hosting a Foodie Friday add on to the camp. I signed up for it after asking if a non-foodie blogger would be welcome! I mean as an athlete I eat food so that should count right?!?! The Foodie program starts at noon on Friday and is going to be something fun to help me explore whether I want to incorporate more cooking or food info on my blog. We're also going to learn some photography skills and prepare the appetizers for the opening party for the rest of the camp attendees.
Well Saturday morning I picked up a huge box of tomatoes at the farmer's market for $5. I was running low on salsa and my coach Mike begs for it so while produce is in season I thought I would make some more. When I got the box home I got very overwhelmed by how many tomatoes I had actually bought. In a strange coincidence of my mom calling right then I remembered that I had to head to Fayetteville for a haircut that day. It would work out perfect to go to my mom's house and share the salsa making duty with her!
|Three batches of salsa in process!
|Cooking in Gloria's Kitchen with my Mom!
Salsa making went quite well however I had a couple foodie fails. I only wore one pair of gloves while working with the jalapenos and had burning hands afterwards for almost an hour. The jalapenos were quite strong. My next foodie fail was that I used a family secret recipe...something I could never share publicly. My final foodie fail was that I forgot to take enough pictures...my mom had to remind me to take some so I never got pictures of some of the key steps in the recipe. Oops! Good thing I gave myself plenty of time to practice being a foodie before camp.
|Secret time - my Mom set up this shot with the cookbook but what's funny is that we didn't use that cookbook for the salsa. That's a secret family recipe! My mom used the cookbook for a peach jam that she made in the background!
On my way home from Fayetteville, I stopped at a local Western wear store to try on Boots!!! All of our camp attendees are receiving cowboy boots from a wonderful website run out of Arkansas called Country Outfitters. I have never owned boots so I wanted to try them on first. I have some very "strong" calves and was worried about finding a style that would accommodate my legs.
|Trying out different brands and styles of boots
Luckily I found the boots to be very comfortable and only a few pairs were tight on my calves. I thought I would have a very hard time finding something to fit so this was exciting for me. I enjoyed trying on the different brands and styles and think I was very entertaining to the other customers and workers there. They kept offering to help me but I just told them it was my first time trying on boots so I was trying on lots of them!
|These were a favorite pair of Tony Lama's but stay tuned for the final choice!
I'll have more posts in the next few weeks as I get ready for camp including an upcoming post where I share more about Country Outfitters and the boots that I selected. I was excited to go to camp even before the organizers announced that we would receive boots with our registration! We have a jig dancing lesson on the schedule and every Southern girl knows you need to dress the part for events like this!!! If you are in the Arkansas/Missouri area there is still plenty of time to register for the AWBU conference!

Oh well. Either way, the hits just keep on coming for The New Year, whose above video for "Seven Days and Seven Nights (Airport)" is posted all over the web today, everywhere from Pitchfork to Stereogum and hipster blogs in between. It's certainly very Lost in Translation-y. And reminiscent of being stuck in an airport. And yet surprisingly enjoyable!
Me? I dig the subtitles. And I'm sure the Kadanes do, too, as they seem to further hammer home the "But they're big in Europe (and Asia)!" arguments. Very well done.

Message Tagging
Tagging in Sprout Social enables teams on the Professional and Advanced plans to group and categorize messages to match their workflow, business objectives and marketing strategies.
This guide will cover managing permissions around tagging, and how to apply tags to inbound and outbound messages.
Managing Tags
Assigning Tags to Messages
Tags in the Sent Messages Report
Define who on your team has the ability to create and manage tags, as well as who can add tags to messages.
Message Tagging introduces two permissions for users that can be applied when inviting them, or by accessing Users & Social Profiles from the gear ( ) menu in the upper right corner.
Users with Create & Edit Tags enabled have complete ability to add new tags and manage existing tags. This includes renaming them, archiving and unarchiving existing tags, and including tags in specific groups.
Users with Tag Messages can assign tags to messages in the Smart Inbox.
Additionally, any user with Needs Approval or Publish permissions will be able to assign tags to outbound messages from the Compose window.
Managing Tags
Users with the Create & Edit Tags permission have a simple interface available for creating and managing tags. Access this from the Settings menu and select Tagging.
In this screen, it's possible to filter tags by searching for a specific tag name, or by selecting a specific group from the dropdown list.
Click Add New Tag to create a new tag. From here, name the tag and choose the groups in which it will be available.
Click on an individual tag to edit its name or group assignment, archive, or delete it.
Archived tags can not be applied to messages while they remained archived, but they can be unarchived at any time and used again as normal.
Note: Archived tags are not deleted, and will remain applied to any messages to which they were assigned. Deleting a tag will completely remove it from your account, and no record will remain of it within Sprout Social.
A maximum of 200 tags per Sprout Social account can be active or archived at any time.
Assigning Tags to Messages
Smart Inbox
Tags can be assigned to messages in the Smart Inbox by users with the Tag Messages permission. Any message, inbound or outbound, can have up to 20 tags applied.
To apply a tag, click the tag icon. Search for the tag name or simply select it from the list. Additionally, any users with the Create & Edit Tags permission can create a new tag by typing in a name in the search field and clicking Create Tag.
The right bar allows you to toggle between message types filters and tag filters. Clicking Tags at the top of the right bar will switch to the tag filter view, where you can choose to show tags on Incoming or Sent Messages.
Also toggle any tag on or off at any time to show or hide it from the inbox.
Clicking Match All Selected will alter the filter to use AND logic. All current tag filters will be deselected, and you can choose up to three filters to find messages that contain all selected tags.
Any user with Needs Approval or Publish permissions can apply tags to messages as they are being composed. Click the tag icon to choose up to 20 tags from the list. Just like applying tags in the Smart Inbox, any user with the Create & Edit Tags permission can also create tags simply by typing in the name and clicking Create Tag.
Tags in the Sent Messages Report
Tags applied to a composed message will appear in the Sent Messages report. Any message with at least one tag will display the tag icon. Hover over the icon to see which tags were applied to the message.
The Sent Messages CSV report will also show applied tags, making it easy to export and filter this data in a spreadsheet program.

Is a Bigfoot different than a Sasquatch
The name "Bigfoot" or "Sasquatch" are used to describe the same creature. In 1924, a man
named John W. Burns was appointed teacher for the Chehalis Indian Reserve which is situated
along the Harrison River in British Columbia. Burns had soon learned from the Chehalis people
about a tribe that the elders called Saskehehavis. It was Burns who then coined the name
"Sasquatch" in an article he had written in 1929 - all because he did not know how the native name
was spelled. The name "Sasquatch" was used among the white people ever since.
In 1958, a story was run on "Big Foot Prints" being discovered in Del Norte County, California in the
U.S. Bulldozer operator Gerry Crew made a cast of the foot print and brought it to the Humboldt
Times columnist Andrew Genzoli who shortened the words Big Foot to one word in his story. Thus
the name "Bigfoot" was born in the Associated Press release of the story.
Are Sasquatch real?
The one thing that can be said for certain is that the foot print evidence attributed to the Sasquatch
is in fact real. Whether that evidence is man made or caused by a living Sasquatch seems to be
the question that plagues so many people. To those who have carefully examined such evidence,
they are faced with the realization that a living unclassified creature had indeed left the tracks. In
cases where hoaxes are carried out, forensic study has most always exposed it as such. In other
instances where no reasonable alternative other than a living unknown creature left behind the
evidence, then the scale tips considerably towards the existence of the Sasquatch.
For those who have actually seen the creature, the Sasquatch has certainly been proven real to
What is a Sasquatch?
The definition of a Sasquatch is as follows: a large hairy humanoid creature said to live in wilderness areas of the United States and Canada. There is a school of
thought that the Sasquatch is connected to a thought to be extinct animal called
Why haven't any Sasquatch been found?
By definition the Sasquatch has been found. There are thousands of eye witness reports where the creature had been spotted. There is also a record of a young
Sasquatch being captured near the town of "Yale" BC in 1884. At least two press sources, the 'Daily Colonist' and the 'Manitoba Press', ran the story. In 1958, a
journalist and researcher named John Green found and interviewed a man named August Castle who remembered the Jacko incident. Gigantopithecus-blacki
was a large bi-pedal ape that did exist as early as 100,000 years ago. If the Sasquatch is a descendent of the Gigantopithecus, then the fossil record as of 1935
supports the creature's existence.
Where do the Sasquatch live?
The general consensus of most researchers is that the Sasquatch lives in the dense forest of the PNW with other animals such as deer, bear, and etc,.
Are Sasquatch dangerous?
Sasquatch reports do not reflect the animal as being any more dangerous than that of an encounter with an ape. In almost every
case, the Sasquatch is a creature that does not seem to desire contact with man.
What is a 'hoax'?
A hoax is defined as an act intended to deceive or trick.
What do I do if I see a Sasquatch or find some signs of a Sasquatch?
Our advice is to observe the animal and take notice to as much detail as possible. If one is carrying a camera, then document the
event with as many photos as possible. The next step would be to contact an organization that is willing to investigate the
encounter. For the lower Fraser Valley, we would ask that the witness contact 'Sasquatch Research' at

Odds of drawing a good hand at the start of the game
Hi All!
I'm stumped and need some help.
The problem:
How many 2 mana (aka 'drop') cards would I need to guarantee one at the start of the game?
IIt seems to me this is kinda like a Bernoulli Trial.
Except, the odds here aren't really independent between each trial.
If you go first, you have 3 cards in hand. You have a x / 30, x / 29, and x / 28 chance of getting your 2 drop in that hand.
Say none of those work out, and you return them all to deck. Then you've got a x / 27, x / 26, x / 25 chance on the refill.
Finally, at the beginning of turn one and two, you have an x / 27 and an x / 26 chance to draw your 2 drop.
SO! This math doesn't exactly lend itself to a Bernoulli trial... but I could oversimplify and just say "I have an X in 30 chance at every draw".
Anyways! The question really is, what's the better way to do this Math?
When I build a deck, I'd love to know what the "ideal" number of cards is for 2 drops, 3 drops, etc.

Pakistani forces have regained full control of Mingora, a week after re-entering the main town in the Swat valley to dislodge thousands of Taliban fighters, the military said on Saturday.
Recapturing Mingora, 130km north-west of Islamabad, would raise the prospect that some of more than two million people who have fled the conflict zone could soon begin to go home, alleviating a humanitarian crisis.
"It's very good that Mingora city has come under the full control of the security forces," military spokesperson Major-General Athar Abbas told a news conference.
The United States and other Western allies have been heartened by the army's show of resolve. There had been fears for the security of Pakistan's nuclear weapons if the Taliban threat had been allowed to spread any closer to the capital.
About 300 000 people lived in Mingora until the Taliban occupied the town in early May when the army first launched an offensive in Swat, an alpine valley in the north-west.
The security forces have secured an area of up to 70km north of Mingora, including the town of Bahrain, Abbas said, though before the news conference he told Reuters there were still pockets of resistance on the outskirts of Mingora.
Abbas said medical teams and food supplies had arrived in Mingora, which had been cut off since the start of the month.
Gas supplies were restored, but the electricity grid needed repair, and the spokesperson said it would take at least two weeks to restore amenities.
Abbas said 1 217 militants had been killed since the fighting began in late April, while 81 soldiers had been killed, and 250 wounded.
There are no independent casualty estimates available.
The mass exodus from Swat and the neighbouring regions of Lower Dir and Buner, where fighting had broken out in mid-April, prompted United Nations warnings of a long-term humanitarian crisis.
The UN has pleaded for international support for a $543-million fund to help Pakistan cope.
Almost 90% of the displaced people have been offered shelter by families in neighbouring peaceful areas, while the rest have headed for the camps that have sprung up around towns like Mardan and Swabi.
There are fears of disease breaking out as summer temperatures soar on the plains below the north-western mountains.
The army initially estimated the militants had about 5 000 men in Swat, but later said there were only up to 2 000 hardcore fighters.
About 15 000 troops, backed by artillery and air power, were taking part in the offensive, according to the military.
The government first ordered the army into action after Taliban fighters moved south from their Swat stronghold into Buner, a valley just 100km from Islamabad.
Islamist militants have carried out a series of bomb and gun attacks in Pakistani cities during the last few days, in a bid to take the heat off their comrades retreating in Swat.
The military had sealed most routes into Swat, cutting supply lines and reinforcements for the militants, who have begun fleeing north over the mountains into Kalam valley, where troops were being deployed to meet them.
There are expectations the army will turn its focus on the South Waziristan tribal region, bordering Afghanistan, once Swat has been pacified.
Tension is rising in Waziristan, where the army has bottled up the forces of Pakistan Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud, and some families have begun streaming out of the area.
On Saturday, soldiers killed three militants after a military convoy came under attack, while earlier in the week helicopter gunships attacked militant targets.

If anyone needs a definitive confirmation that when it comes to predicting the future, "expert economists" are not only completely clueless but always approach the future with a baseline of endless and unquestioned bullishness, which in the past decade has ended up being humiliatingly wrong, we present the following charts from Deutsche's Jim Reid, showing the jawdropping cumulative error rate in GDP forecasts in the past decade among those countries that make the headline news every day.
What do the charts show: in the 9 years since the first forecast in October 2003, these 6 countries are 20.5% (Italy), 16.9% (Spain), 10.4% (France), 3.7% (Germany), 11.3% (UK), and 15.8% (US) behind on a cumulative basis what economists forecast back in 2003! This forecasting error has become more severe since the crisis begun. Since October 2007 (i.e. for the 5 years between 2008-2012) we are 16.4% behind cumulative forecasts in Italy, 18.1% in Spain, 10.6% in France, 7.0% in Germany, 14.7% in the UK and 10.6% in the US.
If there is any more damning piece of evidence that all those well-paid economists who are paid to see the future are thoruoughly clueless, than the above, we would love to see it.
How about looking at just the epicenter of the collapse of the Keynesian utopia: Greece? While we have shown this data previously in various iterations, this chart is just hilarious: it shows the actual GDP rate and the 1 year prior forecast.
Taking the same shorter-term approach as in the chart above and applying it to the original six countries, i.e., the future GDP forecast from Q4 2011 and comparing it to actual outcomes, shows something just as dramatic: virtually every country has seen massive misses to a forecast as recent as 1 year ago, except for the US, which at least for now is trending more or less as expected.
From Jim Reid:
With the exception of the US, the other five countries in our sample have seen significant to large misses relative to expectations over the last 12 months. The scale of the misses, especially as there were no abnormal shocks in the year only austerity, has to mean that there should be a fair degree of uncertainty as to the path of the European economy in 2013, especially in Spain and Italy. This cycle is not behaving very well relative to expectations and it's a big call to predict the start of a sustainable turn around in 2013. If it does come then we'll likely see a significant sentiment boost. However if it doesn't materialise and growth is still negative as we move through Q2 and into H2, then it's not inconceivable that we could see a resumption of solvency concerns in Europe, even if the ECB were buying bonds at the short-end.
The market might conclude that something more radical might be needed to be done to put certain countries' finances back on a surer footing. A sell-off in longer maturity bonds might be the result of this pressure. At this point the ECB may again take centre stage and the pressure for full QE, across all maturities of bonds may build. Before this there is every chance of more market stress and risk-off as debt sustainability is doubted.
Maybe much depends on the understanding of austerity and fiscal multipliers and this will continue to be a big debate in 2013. On this it was interesting that the IMF have recently raised a flag that they may have under-estimated the size of the fiscal multiplier, especially in the post-GFC world.
Thank you DB for confirming that economists are about as insightful at forecasting the future (and reality) as a perfectly credible coin toss.

Do you remember when you smoked marijuana for the first time? And did you get high that time? It may sound strange, but nearly half of weed smokers do not catch a buzz the first time they toke a cannabis pipe, a marijuana study revealed. There are some reasons why marijuana may not make you high if you are a first-timer.
Most cannabis beginners have already smoked cigarettes at least once, but not all of them know that marijuana requires a different approach to smoking. To smoke a cigarette, you need to inhale and exhale quickly, but this way does not work with a cannabis pipe. Smoking marijuana is different because the longer you hold the smoke in, the better effect of cannabis you get. Otherwise, you just repeat the experience of President Clinton who smoked marijuana when he was younger but did not feel the buzz because he never inhaled cannabis smoke. Of course, you cannot know how to inhale weed correctly, especially if you have never smoked anything in your life. Thus, you should not worry if do not achieve the desired effect after smoking your first pipe. Just hold your hit as long as you can, and you will definitely feel the difference when you do it correctly.
Some new tokers just do not recognize when they become high, as this is a new experience for them. You may be disappointed if you expect to feel a huge difference in your state after smoking marijuana. People might expect to feel tipsy like after drinking alcohol or see hallucinations that psychedelic substances usually cause. Though first-time stoners have neither of these effects, they usually feel a slight head change, which is not often realized by people who expect something more obvious. The most effective way to check your cannabis high is to stand up immediately after smoking. Most probably, you will feel an immediate head rush. You may also experience difficulties in performing your daily activities or find yourself staring at some immovable objects. All these are signs that you are high.
You might not even suspect it, but your brain can naturally produce cannabinoids, which usually results in euphoria after you perform your daily workout. Unfortunately, there are some genetic reasons that lead to a lower number of cannabis receptors in some people. Moreover, your brain might block marijuana's effect because of your high expectations or negative thoughts when it comes to the first cannabis experience. Just try to relax when you smoke your first pipe. Do not think about getting too high or feeling the negative effect of smoking. If you let marijuana smoke flow into your body and head freely, you will feel its effect.
Sometimes, the reason for not feeling high after smoking cannabis might be a strain with a low THC content. Though new weed strains contain a higher THC level, each of them has a different effect, and some stoners may have a naturally higher tolerance than others. The content of CBD also influences your high, so if it is higher than THC, you will probably experience a smaller change in your mental state. Instead, weed users of CBD-dominant strains report more of a physical effect that results in reducing chronic pain or headaches. But if you want to have a more energetic mental high, opt for a sativa strain that will provide you with a high so often associated with smoking marijuana.
Anyway, there is no reason to worry if you do not get high the first time you take a hit from a pipe. Most weed smokers reported feeling a greater cannabis effect the second or third time they smoked marijuana. If you are a seasoned stoner, please share your first cannabis experience in the comments below to dispel the doubts of weed newbies.

February 5, 2009 - Malaria remains one of the most serious diseases worldwide, claiming the lives of more than one million people per year in tropical and sub-tropical regions, the majority of whom are children under five years of age. Efforts to eliminate this mosquito-borne illness rely heavily on prevention measures, but there are growing concerns about resistance to insecticides. In a study published online today in Genome Research (www.genome.org), researchers have identified specific mosquito genes associated with resistance to a common class of insecticide, a significant step toward the execution of more effective malaria control strategies.
Eradication of mosquitoes that carry the malarial parasite has relied heavily on the use of insecticides for spraying inside of homes and treatment of mosquito netting. There are very few insecticides that are both effective and low-cost, while at the same time safe for humans. Developing new insecticides will be time consuming and expensive, therefore understanding the genetic and biological basis of resistance to insecticides currently in use will be critical for more effective prevention measures in the field.
In this study, an international team of scientists led by Dr. Charles Wondji of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medical has identified the genetic basis of resistance to common pyrethroid insecticides in the mosquito Anopheles funestus, one of the major malarial vectors in Africa. The group studied strains of An. funestus that are both susceptible and resistant to pyrethroids, and narrowed down the potential genetic culprits to members of a family of genes coding for enzymes known as cytochrome P450s. The P450s are common to all classes of organisms, and are considered a first line of defense against toxins.
The researchers found two cytochrome P450 genes in An. funestus that are associated with pyrethroid resistance. Dr. Hilary Ranson of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, a co-author of the study, explained that what makes this finding remarkable is that this particular type of cytochrome P450s were also recently implicated in pyrethroid resistance in Anopheles gambiae, the other major malaria-carrying mosquito in Africa. "If the enzymes responsible for resistance are very similar in both species, there is a much greater incentive to invest efforts in identifying specific enzyme inhibitors with the knowledge that they will likely be effective at overcoming resistance in both major malaria vectors," said Ranson. Furthermore, Ranson noted it is critical that these mosquito P450 genes do not have close relatives in the human genome, meaning that targets developed against these mosquitoes should have low risk for toxicity in humans.
This report of genetic markers that can be used to predict insecticide resistance in laboratory populations of An. funestus may be a landmark finding in malaria prevention when applied to the evaluation of wild mosquito populations. "Routine use of these molecular markers for resistance will provide early warning of future control problems due to insecticide resistance and should greatly enhance our ability to mitigate the potentially devastating effects of resistance on malaria control," said Ranson.
Scientists from the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (Liverpool, UK), the University of Notre Dame (South Bend, IN), the University of Witwatersrand (Johannesburg, South Africa), and the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (Johannesburg, South Africa) contributed to this study.
This work was supported by the National Institute of Health and a Wellcome Trust Research Career Development Fellowship to Charles Wondji.
