Back to the Basics-How to Brush Your Teeth
Although most people learned to brush their teeth as kids, many adults don't follow the brushing recommendations of their family dentistry experts. It's great to find an affordable dentist to fill cavities, but most tooth decay can be prevented with a consistent dental care routine. To improve your oral hygiene and save money on future dental care, revisit the proper brushing techniques.
Why is Proper Tooth Brushing So Important?
After you eat or drink, food debris lingers, causing plaque to form. If you don't remove plaque properly, it will form tartar, and once tartar is in place, it takes professional dental care to remove it. Leaving plaque on your teeth for an extended period of time will lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Brushing twice a day can help to prevent plaque from forming.
Tooth Brushing Tips
- Divide your mouth into four quadrants and spend the same amount of time brushing each area.
- Brushing every tooth is essential, including hard-to-reach areas and sensitive teeth.
- Spend a least two minutes brushing to ensure that all food debris and bacteria are removed from your teeth.
- Brush in a gentle, circular motion.
- Toothbrushes wear out, so replace yours every three to four months.
Use the Best Dental Care Products to Get the Best Results
Keep up with the latest in dental care, and only use toothpastes that are accepted by the ADA (American Dental Association). Many toothpastes are designed for specific needs such as tartar control, whitening, or improving your breath. Ask your family dentistry experts about the best options for you. Your dental care routine should include brushing at least twice daily, flossing every day, and using mouthwash.

|Cap mechanics of PFP's proposed trade.
Following a strong finish to this past season, the Wizards elected to solidify their roster by retaining three-point specialist Martell Webster and investing the 3rd overall pick in the draft in Georgetown product, Otto Porter Jr. Persistently for Washington, however, health has been a lingering concern, one that has swiftly diminished the brightness of their outlook in seasons past. Despite fans finding solace in an unfamiliar level of stability and direction in recent franchise manoeuvres, a cloud of injury and uncertainty still lurks, with key piece Emeka Okafor sidelined indefinitely with a herniated disk in his neck. This sombre news only compounds the reality that starting centre Nene has struggled to stay on the court, appearing in just 72 games for the team over an 18 month span.
With this in mind, Washington seems a perfect starting place for the introduction of the 'Death by Trade Machine' column, as Prophecies from the Parquet looks for suitable trading partners and the right balance to put these dwindling Wizards back into the May basketball schedule, and restore the team to its former glory. And where better to start the search than one of the teams immersed in season-long indifference, with little desire to win now. I speak of none other than the Phoenix Suns, a team presently stuck in the unwanted quagmire of being an unequivocally bad team, but not quite bad enough. The Suns spent their summer amassing assets for the future, and simultaneously throwing in the proverbial towel for the upcoming season. The team is left with the problem, nonetheless, that the roster still contains a number of legitimate, rotation NBA players - among them are starters Goran Dragic and Marcin Gortat. This Phoenix duo, one of whom has not been shy of publicising his feelings about the organisation and its state of affairs, seem a near perfect fit for an exchange with the injured Emeka Okafor's expiring contract.
A simple swap such as this, perhaps with an added sweetener - such as one of Washington's handful of underdeveloped young forwards - would accelerate the aims for both parties. Placing Gortat in the Wizards' frame would form (health permitting) an intimidating frontline with Nene, while Dragic is a proven player capable of logging heavy minutes at either guard spot. Dragic could conceivably complement the current setup of the Wizards' backcourt, offering a preferable alternative to their present backups, whilst arriving at an affordable, manageable price. For Phoenix, removing two of the primary holdovers from a previous regime, and two competent players at that, would likely result in a shift further down the standings, but not one that the franchise appears altogether opposed to. The cap cost is not too great for a Washington organisation quite clearly grouped into 'win now' mode, with Gortat's deal due to expire at season's end, and Dragic (theoretically) arriving at the aforementioned respectable rate. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see how these two situations develop, respectively, as we can expect both to resurface in the Death by Trade Machine clouds across the year.

Happy bank holiday Friday one and all!
So this Brand Watch post is going back again to my Irish roots, discussing the wondering [MADE] Store and Gallery which is located on the top floor of Powerscourt Centre in Dublin City.
A while back Penney's was accused by Irish designer Zoe Carol Wong of copying one of her designs from an old collection. As a store well-known for having pieces for sale bearing strong resemblance to other high-street stores I wasn't surprised at this. However I was really disappointed that a store as big as Penneys would stoop so low. Continue reading "Penneys – the store I love to hate"
So this week, thanks to one of the fabulous girls in my course, I was lucky enough to get to interview the lovely Eimear O'Neill. Eimear is a fashion buyer based in LA for one of my favourite brands &Other Stories so naturally I jumped at the opportunity to ask her a few questions about her job and her thoughts on the fashion industry.
So I know I'm not alone in being very particular about my hair and getting it done. I spent many a day after getting a haircut disappointed with how it had turned out, be it too short, too poofy for my little head or just not what I was hoping for…and then I found Emma Leung, and I haven't left a hair appointment disappointed since then! Continue reading "Kelly Leung Hair Design"
This week the news broke that a number of high street stores have been selling items with what they claimed was faux fur but in actual fact was real! An investigation conduced by Humane Society International discovered that there were products on sale from a number of stores including, Missguided and House of Fraser which contained real types of fur. Continue reading "High Street Scandal – Not so faux fur!"
On this not-so-sunny Sunday I thought I'd take the time to share with you my favourite Twitter accounts that I follow!

The victim, Dr David Dao and (inset) Oscar Munoz president and chief executive officer of United.
No adult in the world with an internet connection would have missed David Dao's recent agony on board a United Airlines aircraft.
Grainy, moving images of the 69-year-old being dragged down the aisle — and horrified reactions from fellow passengers and global viewers — stormed their way through everyone's news feed within minutes.
Thanks to smartphones, Dr Dao didn't have to file a complaint. He didn't have to produce any evidence.
The hours just a more compelling story: Dr Dao had told the officers who broke his teeth that he couldn't skip his flight from Chicago to Louisville as he had patients waiting for him. We know how the story panned out.
And that's largely thanks to fellow passengers who documented the horribles scenes from different angles on their smartphones.
The event unleashed a torrest of public indignation against United that the airline's CEO, who initial justified the roughing up of an old man, was forced to apologise. He did so profusely, and promised the incident will never be repeated.
A few days later, Dao appointed a lawyer to file a case against United. I am guessing that he will be receiving a seven-digit amount as compensation. Some say it would be in six digits.
Regardless, he has to be compensated. He deserves it, along with a proper apology.["Source-gulfnews"]

Excited for JQL. Speed is one of the most important factors to getting the most from metrics tools. Sometimes figuring out if an experiment went well takes going deep and asking lots of questions in rapid order. Each time you get hung up is an opportunity to lose your focus on the thing you're trying to investigate. The Mixpanel interface is pretty expansive and can answer a mind blowing amount of questions about your business. Sometimes I find myself needing more and wishing I could treat Mixpanel like a database. Mixpanel does have an export API (https://mixpanel.com/docs/api-do...) which gives back data in csv form. You could dump the results into a database and query from there, but JQL looks like a much better answer.

Dear Editor,
Just as expected, by accepting several recreational facilities along with the proposed new city complex is like swallowing a sugar-coated bitter pill. $35 million is a high price to pay for more soccer fields, basketball courts and gymnastic rooms. We already have sufficient facilities for this type of recreation.
The city officials could better serve this community by focusing their energy, financial reserves and grant sources to provide the city street department with a new facility and equipment to expedite their monumental job of rebuilding our crumbling city streets and the acute flooding issues that many citizens face during every major thunderstorm.
If the city officials can come up with $35 million for a new city complex, why did they ask the citizens for a 1 percent sales tax increase for the streets? They could have completed their primary responsibility to provide adequate streets in a shorter time than collecting the sales tax over several years.
The citizens of this community have waited a long time for a full sized recreation and senior center with an inside swimming pool and standard recreational facilities. The city officials need to wait their turn for an extravagant city complex that costs $2 million-plus just for the design plan.

Render Baking¶
- Panel
Baking, in general, is the act of pre-computing something in order to speed up some other process later down the line. Rendering from scratch takes a lot of time depending on the options you choose. Therefore, Blender allows you to "bake" some parts of the render ahead of time, for select objects. Then, when you press Render, the entire scene is rendered much faster, since the colors of those objects do not have to be recomputed.
Render baking creates 2D bitmap images of a mesh object's rendered surface. These images can be re-mapped onto the object using the object's UV coordinates. Baking is done for each individual mesh, and can only be done if that mesh has been UV-unwrapped. While it takes time to set up and perform, it saves render time. If you are rendering a long animation, the time spent baking can be much less than time spent rendering out each frame of a long animation.
Use Render Bake in intensive light/shadow solutions, such as AO or soft shadows from area lights. If you bake AO for the main objects, you will not have to enable it for the full render, saving render time.
Use Full Render or Textures to create an image texture; baked procedural textures can be used as a starting point for further texture painting. Use Normals to make a low resolution mesh look like a high resolution mesh. To do that, UV unwrap a high resolution, finely sculpted mesh and bake its normals. Save that normal map, and Mapping (texture settings) the UV of a similarly unwrapped low resolution mesh. The low resolution mesh will look just like the high resolution, but will have much fewer faces/polygons.
Can significantly reduce render times.
Texture painting made easier.
Reduced polygon count.
Repeated renders are made faster, multiplying the time savings.
Object must be UV-unwrapped.
If shadows are baked, lights and object cannot move with respect to each other.
Large textures (e.g. 4096×4096) can be memory intensive, and be just as slow as the rendered solution.
Human (labor) time must be spent unwrapping and baking and saving files and applying the textures to a channel.
Cycles uses the render settings (samples, bounces, …) for baking. This way the quality of the baked textures should match the result you get from the rendered scene.
The baking happens into the respective active textures of the object materials. The active texture is the last selected Image Texture node of the material node tree. That means the active object (or the selected objects, when not baking 'Selected to Active') needs a material, and that material needs at least an Image Texture node, with the image to be used for the baking. Note, the node does not need to be connected to any other node. The active texture is what projection painting and the viewport use as a criteria to which image to use. This way after the baking is done you can automatically preview the baked result in the Texture mode.
Bake Mode¶
- Combined
Bakes all materials, textures, and lighting except specularity.
The passes that contribute to the combined pass can be toggled individually to form the final map.
- Ambient Occlusion
Bakes ambient occlusion as specified in the World panels. Ignores all lights in the scene.
Ambient Occlusion.
- Shadow
Bakes shadows and lighting.
- Normals
Bakes normals to an RGB image.
- Normal Space
Normals can be baked in different spaces:
- Object space
Normals in object coordinates, independent of object transformation, but dependent on deformation.
- Tangent space
Normals in tangent space coordinates, independent of object transformation and deformation. This is the default, and the right choice in most cases, since then the normal map can be used for animated objects too.
- Normal Swizzle
Axis to bake into the red, green and blue channel.
For materials the same spaces can be chosen in the image texture options next to the existing Normal Map setting. For correct results, the setting here should match the setting used for baking.
Bakes colors of materials and textures only, without shading.
- Emit
Bakes Emission, or the Glow color of a material.
- Environment
Bakes the environment as seen from the center of the object.
- Diffuse, Glossy, Transmission, Subsurface
Bakes the diffuse, glossiness, transmission of subsurface pass of a material.
If only color is selected you get the pass color, which is a property of the surface and independent of sampling refinement.
If color is not selected, you get the direct and/or indirect contributions in gray-scale.
If color and either direct or indirect are selected, you get the direct and/or indirect contributions colored.
Additional Options¶
- Margin
Baked result is extended this many pixels beyond the border of each UV "island", to soften seams in the texture.
- Clear
If selected, clears the image before baking render.
- Select to Active
Bake shading on the surface of selected objects to the active object. The rays are cast from the low-poly object inwards towards the high-poly object. If the high-poly object is not entirely involved by the low-poly object, you can tweak the rays start point with Ray Distance or Cage Extrusion (depending on whether or not you are using cage). For even more control you can use a Cage Object.
Memory Usage
There is a CPU fixed memory footprint for every object used to bake from. In order to avoid crashes due to lack of memory, the high-poly objects can be joined before the baking process. The render tiles parameter also influence the memory usage, so the bigger the tile the less overhead you have, but the more memory it will take during baking (either in GPU or CPU).
- Cage
Cast rays to active object from a cage. A cage is a ballooned-out version of the low-poly mesh created either automatically (by adjusting the ray distance) or manually (by specifying an object to use). When not using a cage the rays will conform to the mesh normals. This produces glitches on the edges, but it is a preferable method when baking into planes to avoid the need of adding extra loops around the edges.
- Ray Distance
Distance to use for the inward ray cast when using selected to active. Ray distance is only available when not using Cage.
- Cage Extrusion
Distance to use for the inward ray cast when using Selected to Active and Cage. The inward rays are casted from a version of the active object with disabled Edge Split Modifiers. Hard splits (e.g. when the Edge Split Modifier is applied) should be avoided because they will lead to non-smooth normals around the edges.
- Cage
Object to use as cage instead of calculating the cage from the active object with the Cage Extrusion.
When the base mesh extruded does not give good results, you can create a copy of the base mesh and modify it to use as a Cage. Both meshes need to have the same topology (number of faces and face order).

Ryan Ran Outpatient Campus
With the Phase One design team, BFS Landscape Architects established the landscape character for the entire campus. The Ryan Ranch Medical Campus landscape incorporates bioswales to capture and retain stormwater runoff. River rock is used as both an aesthetic and functional element at the core of each swale. A variety of grasses accentuate the meandering river rock, and are part of a native plant palette used throughout the 21-acre site. Relocation of 75 existing mature oak trees, bioswales and extensive native grasses enhanced site preservation goals.

The four mutant reptiles return for another outing and are joined by more characters from the classic cartoon!
The first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film from this new live action reboot was a bit of a mess in my opinion. However, this latest trailer has me wanting to see the sequel. Not only are the four masked reptiles back again along with April and Master Splinter, but we also get Bebop, Rocksteady, Casey Jones and fresh from Dimension X, Krang!
According to press interviews from December last year, the cast and crew admit there were problems with the first outing but say they have fixed those issues and listened to comments from the fans to ensure a better film. We'll find out for ourselves when the film is released later this year.
Title: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows
Release | US: 3rd June '16 | UK: 30th May '16 | World: IMDb
Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo, and Raphael return to cinemas this summer to battle bigger, badder villains, alongside April O'Neil (Megan Fox), Vern Fenwick (Will Arnett), and a newcomer: the hockey-masked vigilante Casey Jones (Stephen Amell). After supervillain Shredder escapes custody, he joins forces with mad scientist Baxter Stockman (Tyler Perry) and two dimwitted henchmen, Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams) and Rocksteady (WWE Superstar Stephen "Sheamus" Farrelly), to unleash a diabolical plan to take over the world. As the Turtles prepare to take on Shredder and his new crew, they find themselves facing an even greater evil with similar intentions: the notorious Krang.

Last week was pretty quiet around here. All of the downstairs is organized and clean! It seems like I am always doing this but I guess that is how it is to maintain a house. One of the hard things I have keeping up with is newspapers! We just started receiving the daily paper in July and it piles up quickly. What I've done is take a laundry basket and put it behind our couch. Now when the paper is read, we toss it in there. I haven't been recycling but now I think I will because these papers take up a lot of space in our trash cans.
Wednesday was JK's last day of bowling in the summer league. We had a nice party and awards were given out. She ended up with an 85 average and a high game of 122. After the party, they had free bowling where the kids just bowled for fun. JK did a lot of trick shots through her legs, backwards, etc. It was really funny!! The Fall league starts on September 9th and she is looking forward to that. She will move up to the Jr./Majors, which is 12-21 so she will be bowling against some of the older ones this year. Should be interesting!!
Thursday night JK was in a karate ceremony where she received her yellow belt. She worked very hard to achieve this and we were very proud of her! She takes classes with 6 of her friends so that makes a nice time of fellowship for her while she is learning. I really didn't know much about karate before she took this class but I have to tell you that it is truly very good exercise. One class is for 1.5 hours and the other for 1 hour and she works and sweats the entire time. Her heart and body are definitely getting a workout.
Thursday JK and I went to a pool party for our local homeschool support group. The group will not be meeting anymore so this was a final farewell. We had a beautiful day and it was good to meet up with friends I haven't seen for a while. The group will continue to "meet" via e-mail, which is great way to get information out. And if anyone wants to schedule field trips, we can do that also. We just won't be having the physical monthly meetings anymore.
Saturday morning all the local office stores had their Teacher Appreciation Days but I didn't make it to any of them. I have so many pens, markers, Post-It notes, etc. that I really don't need any of the free things that they were giving away. One store always gives away a totebag but I don't need that either! This coming week Michael's is offering 10% off everything to teachers (including sale prices) so that might be something I'll look into. I can always use more stamping supplies .
This morning our associate pastor, Rick, spoke on 1 Peter 2:1-3 about desiring spiritual milk. He asked something that I have been thinking about all day. "When have I said, 'I long for the Scripture'. The word long in the passage is strong desire. Do I have a strong desire for the Word? Do I long to have like a baby who cries for milk?" I read the Word each day, I study it each day but I don't think I desire it like he was talking about. I want that desire! I want to cry for it each day.
Of course Rick didn't leave it there. He encouraged us to increase our desire for the Word by:
~praying: ask God to create that desire
~spending time in the Word: discipline myself to do this; have a plan
~having accountability: have someone who can ask me, "How are you doing in your pursuit of Christ?" Isn't that a great question to ask other believers? I love it!!
May the Lord create that desire in me to long (have a strong desire ) for His Word more and more each day.

Guestrooms of Shangri-La Hotel Guilin offer a stunning view of Lijiang River. (Photo: China Daily)
BEIJING, June 15 (Xinhuanet) -- The verdant and effortlessly splayed karst mountains of Guilin unfurled before me as I pulled open the hotel room draperies in a performance that was pure Panavision.
The hills, which have inspired legions of artists to recreate the rolling enchantment in paintings, prints and written paeans - not to mention the winsome backside of the 20-yuan note - are merely a backdrop for the Shangri-La Hotel, Guilin, a stunning new hotel that sets a new standard in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.
If the gentle slopes were a salve, the Shangri-La was an oasis within an oasis after two hectic days of schlepping and low-impact spelunking amid the limestone: to the peak of Elephant Trunk Hill and into the phantasmagorical Reed Flute Caves.
Guilin's newest attraction - a hotel thoughtfully situated on a bend of the storied Lijiang River - puts on a show all its own. A dramatic lobby lounge, with its expansive windows, overlooks a terraced waterfall constructed to resemble the serpentine Longsheng rice paddies.
The Shangri-La balances sleek modernity with traditional elements. "It's not like a lot of Shangri-Las I know," says Sigi Bierbaumer, the hotel's general manager. "Most of the Shangri-Las are city properties, in towers. Ours takes up 68,000 square meters", a larger-than-usual footprint for a hotel in the Hong Kong-based chain.
Bierbaumer has served most of his career in the hospitality business in locales including Manila, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Yangon. "Coming from Austria, it sounds very strange to people" that he has a particular affinity for hot climates.
In Guilin he gets his coveted lush surroundings, which are reflected, literally and figuratively, throughout the hotel. "Our hotel has a Chinese roof and a huge garden," Bierbaumer says.
Technically, that garden is in its nascent stage; the hotel opened in March, and during my visit in late May construction on the 449-room property was still under way. Still, I wouldn't have known it, thanks to the superb noise insulation in the serene guestrooms of 42 to 84 sq m, the largest in Guilin.
Rooms offer a riot of tasteful texture: Burgundy silk wallpaper contrasts nicely with the seating in various shades of mauve. Each guestroom is dominated by distinctive, handpainted murals featuring those stunning mountains. Rice paddies and Guilin's celebrated osmanthus blossoms play equal roles in the hotel's artistry.
The dining rooms offer delights that are delectable and olfactory, and the temptation is not lost on the local market, which flocks to the Li Caf buffet, thanks to its bountiful offerings and reasonable prices.
On a Saturday evening the place was boisterous, teeming with children. The din was a bit much, so I tried the buffet the following evening; loved the spicy Indian dishes conjured by sous chef Sunil Dutt.
I walked a few paces to U Bar, styled after a casual American pub with jukeboxes and pinball machines. My convivial server delivered the best filet mignon I've had in Asia. A lunch of delicious Cantonese dim sum at the Shang Palace showcased the diversity of foods.
The hotel strives for intimacy, but it's designed on a grand scale to help lure the coveted Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions market to Guangxi.
As Guilin boosts its infrastructure, conventioneers too will find the space they need with an 1,800-sq-m ballroom, the biggest in the region, and six smaller function rooms.
The Shangri-La was putting the final touches on an indoor pool, making the hotel the only one in town with pools indoor and out; two tennis courts and a room equipped with state-of-the-art exercise gear help round out the fitness offerings.
My regimen was limited to the great outdoors, however. I took the cruise to Yangshuo. It's the base for the Zhang Yimou-created Impression Liu Sanjie. Sadly, the outdoor light show with a cast of 600 had been canceled after heavy rains pelted the area.
The Shangri-La's human side wins as many points as the hardware. With 600 employees, including many members of the Yao, Zhuang and Dong ethnic groups, "We really tried to blend in the minority culture, right down to the fabric on the dresses," says Ruby Zhu, the hotel's communications manager.
Lost Horizon provided the inspiration for the luxe chain's name, (and taking a page from the Gideons, rooms are outfitted with a copy of James Hilton's 1933 novel), and it is said the motif is modeled after a Tibetan lamasery. If that be the case, the monks are living large. I might just convert.

I have been on the hunt for a good drugstore foundation for such a long time. Most of the foundations that I have in my collection are high end and to be frank they cost me an arm and a leg. I don't mind spending my money on a good foundation as long as the product is worth the money. But, I think that it would be really good to have a really good quality drugstore foundation in my collection that I can use on a daily basis instead of having to bust out my Chanel Perfection Lumiere. That is what has lead my to finally try out the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation which has been so spoken about recently.
This has been on my list to try for quite a while because it is a very popular foundation at the moment. Whenever a product is really spoken about I want to try it out for myself, but I had only heard good things about this foundation and that is why I had to get my hands on it. So, I took myself off into Boots one day and wandered over to the Maybelline counter. When I was stood at the shelves, I couldn't help but notice that there wasn't a diverse shade range. The shade that I picked up in this foundation was actually the darkest shade that they stock in Boots which I think is pretty poor considering that I am a medium/tanned skin tone. Anyway, let's get into the review…
First up, as normal I want to talk about the packaging. I like to talk about packaging when I get a new product because to me, I make a split decision about a product from the moment that I first see the packaging. The packaging of this Maybelline Fit Me Foundation I think is very nice. I think the packaging itself is very similar to other high-end foundations that I have bought. I also really like that it comes with a pump because that is great for travelling with. I don't know whether it is plastic or glass, but I think it is very nice, maybe not great for travelling with because it is pretty bulky.
The reason why I tend to opt for high end foundations over drugstore alternatives is because I have quite awkward skin and I find that as a whole high-end foundations tend to work better for me. I have a combination skin type, so I am oily in the centre of the face and I am dry on my forehead, so my foundations really go get put through their paces. But, I have to admit that this Maybelline Fit Me Foundation really does hold up well compared to some of the more expensive alternatives. When I have been wearing this and when my makeup is finished with concealers and powders, I feel like my skin doesn't look any different to if I was wearing a £40 foundation.
I would say that the coverage of this foundation is medium to full. I am sure that everybody knows that I am a massive fan of full coverage foundations and I think that this offers more than enough coverage for a daily basis. I need my foundations to cover everything from my hyperpigmentation on my cheeks and even the darkness underneath my eyes. This foundation seems to do that really effortlessly. I do go in with a secondary layer in the areas where my pigmentation is dark, but it covers everything with ease and that is one of the reasons why I am really enjoying this foundation.
One of the biggest selling points with this foundation in my opinion must be the consistency of this foundation. It is lovely and lightweight and blends onto the skin like nothing at all. As I pump this out on the back of my hand, you can see straight away that it is incredibly runny, but the best thing is that it is still full coverage. Usually I associate lightweight and runny foundations with being pretty sheer such as the MAC Face and Body, but that isn't the case at all with this Maybelline Fit Me Foundation.
I don't really know if there is much more that I can say about this product. I have been loving this because it is lovely and lightweight, it blends into the skin really easily, it lasts well and has a lovely amount of coverage. My one issue with this is that there isn't a vast colour range available but from looking online it does seem like this is something they are working on at the moment. I will leave a link to this down below in case you want to check it out for yourself. Make sure to leave me a comment and let me know if you have tried this foundation and what you thought about it!

Quiz #440 (2012-1-10) Solution
Click on picture(s) for a larger view.
Solution by Tony Leukering
Ooh, nasty! A green flycatcher thing! As you can probably imagine, I expected a diversity of species presented as answers for this quiz. I was right, but I guessed the wrong diversity of species! As is often the case on really tricky quizzes, only a plurality of respondents scored the correct species among the nine species submitted as answers, with no more than two respondents going for any particular incorrect species.
The quiz bird seems to not be tiny (relative to the small branch), but is certainly not a great, big thing. The upperparts coloration is olive-brown with a touch of gray. The bird seems to have bits of a thin eye ring and a bill that is longish and relatively thick-based. The mandible appears somewhat orangish with a vaguely and barely darker tip. The chin and throat appear whitish. The wingtip extends beyond the tip of the longest tertial (a feature called primary projection) about a half or so of the distance that the three tertials are visible. Additionally, the tip of the longest primary barely extends lower than the tips of the upper tail coverts. The tail is certainly not short, perhaps being a bit longish. There is little in the way of wing bars visible, but posture might be hiding such. Finally, the green background and the worn condition of the tertials and primaries both suggest a spring or summer photo date, if the picture was taken in the ABA Area.
The above should take us to the wonderful genus, Empidonax and, within that genus, to the difficult duo of Alder and Willow flycatchers. We can rule out the various members of Myiarchus and Contopus by primary projection; that of the crested flycatchers is generally shorter(about 25-40% the visible-tertials length) and that of pewees is much longer (100% or more the visible-tertials length). Tail length and breadth also provides some clues, as Myiarchus generally sport tails that are much longer relative to their basal width than our quiz bird and Olive-sided Flycatcher has quite a short tail for its size (in fact, that is a good separator from the wood-pewees). Finally, contrastingly pale eye rings, no matter their thickness and completeness, help to rule those other genera out.
Once we have arrived in Empidonax, eye ring rules out all species but the two already mentioned. I was expecting more answers from this genus and was prepared to discuss the various eye rings, but Gray has a large and obvious whitish eye ring, being particularly distinct behind the eye, where the ring extends into a point in what is called a tear-drop shape. If one gets oneself correctly into this genus when attempting an ID, eye rings this insignificant should immediately point one to the Traill's Flycatcher complex (Alder/Willow). At that point, those wishing to opt out of attempting more-specific ID are well within their rights, as these two are quite difficult. However, as this individual is certainly identifiable, we'll continue.
Alder Flycatcher tends to exhibit eye rings that are quite thin, but complete, or very nearly so, while Willow Flycatcher usually sports obviously broken eye rings, with the bits in front being particularly commonly missing. Our quiz bird, has a nearly complete eye ring that is broken vaguely in front and more distinctly behind and below. I'd call that character a wash, though, perhaps, leaning toward Willow. Alder tends to have longer primary projection than does Willow, being a considerably longer-distance migrant. However, there are multiple subspecies of Willow, and their primary projection varies with subspecies, with eastern birds having longer projection than do western birds. To my eye, this bird's primary projection looks to be in the eastern/western Willow overlap zone or on the small end for Alder. Again, the character seems to be a wash.
Willow has a generally longer, thicker-based bill than does Alder, but, again, there is significant overlap there. However, I would call this bird's bill one of the more definite features, being both quite long and fairly thick, so I'll give this one to Willow. I have found another head feature to be useful in separating the two, and that is the shape of the head between the peak of the crown and the base of the bill. Willows tend to have a very flat and sloped forehead that basically draws a straight line from peak of crown to base of bill. Alder, I find, tends to show a rounded protrusion about halfway from crown peak to bill base. Because this feature depends upon the precise way in which the individual bird holds its feathers, it can be tricky and/or ephemeral, and it takes watching a particular bird for a while to see what is what might be called the "true" shape. Our quiz bird has the barest of outdentations (great word, eh?) of the forehead, so I don't know how to score it, but I'd lean toward Willow.
Finally, Alder Flycatchers and eastern Willow Flycatchers show very black wings in fresh plumage, fading to off-black in worn plumage (in fact, this is a general difference between eastern Empidonax and western Empidonax). Our quiz bird's wings are not at all blackish, being more toward the brown end of things than even worn Alders or eastern Willows.
Steve Mlodinow took this picture of an adult Willow Flycatcher 10 July 2010 at Spencer Island, Snohomish Co., Washington.

Alright, sports fans. Today I have decided that I'm going to really commit to dropping the fat off my ass again.
For a while now, I've been trying to go out for daily walks around the neighborhood for an hour. Though that doesn't always work out, I'm generally consistent with it. But now that the weather is getting to that state where it's easier to perform your own appendectomy than breathe in the humidity outside, I'm turning to a more strenuous method for indoors.
For the next 2 months, I will be making the effort to work out along to Debbie Sieber's Slim in 6 dvds. My mother purchased these last year, but only used them for a week, so now I'm going to put them to use.
Now, I know I won't be able to do it EVERY day. It's just an impossibility, but you're supposed to take breaks now and then. My goal is to do the workouts at least 4 times a week and see how things go.
Tomorrow morning, I'll be weighing myself after a good BM with nothing but my skivvies on. And please don't expect me to take before/after shots of my pudge. It's not going to happen.
Hopefully, this will help me drop the Lbs a bit faster since it's a higher intensity workout than just walking the streets. So don't let me fall off the wagon, people. I need someone standing over me with a whip…wait a minute…

Some of the Erie region's high school seniors have already graduated. Most schools will hold their graduations in the coming days.
We congratulate the graduates at all of those schools and wish them the best in whatever they have planned next. The sense of accomplishment combined with new beginnings is always inspiring.
For all of the region's graduates, this is one of life's big passages. For the roughly 420 graduating seniors and staff at Erie High School, it's also a historic occasion.
Many students came to the new school last fall as Warriors and Colonels from the former East and Strong Vincent high schools. Others had been Falcons at the former Central Career and Technical School on Cherry Street.
They joined together at the start of the school year in the former Central building as the Erie High School Royals. Tonight they will leave Erie Insurance Arena as Erie High's first graduating class.
Several days ago, we commented on what a remarkable year it has been for the Erie School District, including the merger of the high schools, the closing of two other schools and the conversion of the venerable East and Strong Vincent into middle schools. We congratulated district leaders and staff for the nimble and transparent restructuring that helped secure additional state funding, and the community for how it rallied around its public schools and their students.
Today we focus the spotlight on those students themselves and how they responded in challenging circumstances. Their resilience has been impressive.
Some people had concerns that merging students from different parts of the city into Erie High could cause turf rivalries to flare. But when Erie Times-News reporter Madeleine O'Neill spent the better part of a day at the school in April, she found that the young people had already taken big steps in embracing a new school identity and community.
There were rough spots, of course, which was inevitable given the scale of change and the unforgiving timetable. But the changes went relatively smoothly overall, and the students are a big reason for that.
Also reflective that the district is coming together is how students from all three middle schools — East, Strong Vincent and Wilson — joined a joint troupe to stage a musical, "The Production." More than 60 will put it on this weekend in two performances at Strong Vincent.
The effort is seen as a feeder for the district's new Visual and Performing Arts Program. But like the success of the Erie High School merger, it's also a sign of how Erie's children are joining forces to create a new, more unified school system that aspires to be more than the sum of its parts.
