A healthy smile is something most people desire and is something that some pay a lot of money for… but when it comes to maintaining what we have, we can often forget the impact of our eating behaviours.
Eating guidelines for our mental, physical and emotional well-being can sometime contradict dental advice, e.g. the age old saying 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away'. Yes, but diets with 'excessive consumption' of acidic or sugary foods (or beverages) may produce dental erosion; paired with already softened dental enamel and the chomping action of raw, abrasive or fibrous foods, might cause further damage to our teeth, a.k.a. dental attrition.
Fruits, fruit juices, fruit 'drinks', 'smoothies' or fruit-based herbal teas are not the only contenders to produce such an effect; wines, sugary drinks (i.e. squashes), fizzy drinks, 'alco-pops', sweets, vinegar or vinaigrette's, or even tomato-based sauces can all play their role as a catalyst to erosion and/or dental caries due to their high acidity and/or sugary nature. Any food or drink with a pH value below 7 is considered acidic and anything below 5.3 can potentially cause 'acid wear' to our teeth.
I personally do not have an uncontrollable desire to consume fizzy drinks or sweets, but I do enjoy my homemade vinaigrette's, whole fruits and some foods in brine. As a former dental nurse with over ten years of dental experience, I am more than aware of the pitfalls of completely neglecting your dental health, e.g. from a bad diet, stress-related factors or even a cleaning/hygiene point of view and I would fully recommend everyone to regularly visit a dentist for regular check-ups and hygienist treatments.
As a nutritionist, I am going to help you get the balance right with some comprehensive advice about foods and drinks, as well as some behaviours to avoid, so you can still enjoy your meals and drinks without worrying about damaging your teeth.
3 Foods & Dinks To Limit And/Or Avoid
Consuming these types of 'enamel-eroding foods and/or drinks' is a daily part of most people's lives, but there are things we can do to help support our teeth and ultimately have a healthier diet too.
Consuming sticky dried fruits, hard candies and even crisps in between meals can be a dentist's (and nutritionist's) worse nightmare; these types of foods are likely to stick deep into the fissures of our teeth. Not only is consuming these unhealthy snacks a likely contributor to weight gain and chronic health problems, it can enable acid attacks on our teeth and cause dental decay. If you cannot avoid it, then try rinsing your mouth with water or chew sugar-free gum afterwards; this can help stimulate the secretion of saliva which helps neutralize acid attacks.
If you are a fan of drinking 'sports drinks', high-sugar energy drinks, fizzy carbonated drinks, fruit juices/drinks or 'smoothies', I hope it's in moderation?! Type 2 diabetes, obesity, along with potential tooth decay and erosion is something you can look forward to otherwise.
Once more, if you are consuming these types of drinks, try to avoid them in between meals, don't 'swish' them around in your mouth and if possible, try and drink them through a straw to reduce the quantity and frequency of the acid coming into contact with your teeth; I know this doesn't sound very 'manly or socially acceptable', but there you have it! Also, diluting these drinks with water will allow you to cut down on the amount of sugar and acid you'll be consuming.
3 Dental Practices To Think Twice About
1. D.I.Y Home Whitening (Or Using Unregulated Providers For Whiter Teeth!)
Our diets contain so many 'stain-causing' foods and beverages, as well as anyone that smokes will suffer from tooth discolouration. Therefore it can be all the more tempting to approach a cheap 'salon' or purchase a D.I.Y home whitening kit promising 'pearly whites'.
Unfortunately, tooth whitening through bleaching agents is not a permanent procedure and unless we consume a bland/white diet (which is unlikely!), over time we will accumulate this staining once again.
If you do decide to have a tooth whitening experience, make sure it's performed by a dentist or another regulated dental professional. It is illegal for someone that is not a qualified dental professional to perform this procedure (make sure to check their GDC registration if you are unsure).
This is one of the reasons why tooth whitening costs as much as it does. Its a cosmetic procedure deemed non-essential by the NHS and private whitening fees start at about £300… but you get what you pay for.
Dental professionals (like any other healthcare professional), but not beauticians (an example of an unregulated provider), provide an in-depth assessment for your care and well-being, including suitability for any procedure. If you haven't been to the dentist in the past year, then you may have developed an 'underlying problem', e.g. dental caries, dental abscesses, broken teeth, exposed roots, clenching and grinding habits that have produced cracks and existing teeth sensitivity, receding gum lines or 'gum disease'.
It's also not suitable for anyone under the age of 16, pregnant women and those that have 'braces', as well as anyone with: pre-existing fillings, crowns or any other tooth restorations; as they must be advised that these materials will not whiten with the other 'virgin teeth'. Ultimately, your teeth without restorations will end up looking whiter than the ones with.
Bleaching concentrations are regulated and their application is precisely controlled. Unqualified individuals may end up damaging your teeth or burning your oral tissue in the process if the incorrect procedures and solutions were to be used.
Furthermore, dental professionals are not going to apply 'mystery concoctions' over your teeth and hope for the best. This is essentially what you are doing if you try to whiten your teeth with unregulated whitening kits (i.e. off the internet) or home-made solutions of baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, vinegar and/or 'fruit mixtures with potentially badly fitted bleaching trays.
These mediums can end up damaging your dental enamel (or worse) because they can be acidic/abrasive, leaving your tooth's dentine exposed (which is naturally yellow in colour) and leaving you to prone to tooth sensitivity.
2. Immediately Brushing After Meals
I know it can be difficult with our demanding lifestyles and time constraints, but brushing our teeth after meals is a sure fire way to scrub away our lovely tooth enamel… and we only get one set of 'permanent' teeth and one coat of 'enamel folks'.
Our mouths can have an acidic environment from intrinsic or extrinsic factors. If our teeth are exposed to acids, the enamel can begin to soften; if you already have dentine exposure, this tooth surface is even more vulnerable to erosion. We need to allow the natural processes of 'remineralisation' to occur before we grab our toothbrushes. Ideally leaving 30 to 60 minutes to allow the saliva's pH to return to 'tooth-friendly' levels; this will allow the softened enamel a chance to reharden/remineralise and be more resistant against 'tooth brushing abrasion'.
Understandably most of us do not have this luxury of 'downtime' before we head off to work. In this case, rinse your mouth with a fluoride mouth rinse (and if your really proactive, take your tooth brush to work with you) before you leave. Ideally, brushing your teeth before breakfast would be more beneficial because your mouth has a neutral pH. I know you might detest this because the 'toothpaste flavour' can alter the taste of your food, but it's in your best interests. Brushing after meals compounds the 'dental erosion' problem through plaque (which produces acid when exposed to sugar) and brushing softened enamel.
3. Using A 'Fluoride Free/Natural" Toothpaste To Regularly Brush Your Teeth
Although dentistry has been improving, a 2009 report highlighted that 39% of adults were still experiencing some sort of dental problem. Another survey published by Public Health England in 2012, showed that 27% of 5 year-olds still had some form of tooth decay. Children's teeth are smaller and have thinner enamel; if paired with a bad diet and improper brushing, it can increase their risk of dental decay.
Although it could be a combination of things, why in the 21st century are we still having this preventable problem? It has been shown in studies and reports that fluoride aids the prevention of dental decay. So why should we take something out of the mix that has got a proven track record to help?
Fluoride is a natural mineral that hardens tooth enamel to keep our teeth strong thus preventing dental decay and/or reducing the progression of cavities. Using non-fluoride toothpastes and mouth rinses due to personal, ethical or may even religious stand points could increase your chances of developing tooth decay given the right conditions, e.g. dry mouth/ reduced salivary flow, improper tooth brushing and interdental cleaning techniques (to remove plaque/food), lack of regular dental check-ups and dental cleanings, poor diet and/or frequent exposures to sugar and/or acid foods and beverages.
A non-fluoride toothpaste does not contain anything more than naturally sourced ingredients and flavourings, e.g. xylitol, menthol, baking soda, which are not going to necessarily help you in your war against tooth decay. They need to be used in part of a good 'oral health care plan' (which includes going to the dentist) to maintain the integrity of your teeth and your oral health.
It's advisable to speak to your dental professional, as everyone has individual needs and therefore he/she can enable you to make informed decisions about our dental health (tailoring oral health care plans accordingly), before making any major changes to your routines. Particularly, people who have a medical or physical condition, or those who are taking specific medications, might also consider their options first before changing their dental care.
Considering we only get one set of permanent teeth, one body and one life… our diet is definitely worth considering, don't you think?

If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident that occurred in the Province of Ontario you may be entitled to claim compensation related to the injuries that you have suffered, including damages for pain and suffering and benefits to compensate for lost wages, your inability to obtain a job or to keep your job.
In 1989, the laws in Ontario related to your ability to obtain compensation for injuries and loses that occur in a motor vehicle accident changed dramatically. A "No Fault" legislative program was made the law in the Province of Ontario. The No Fault Program provides an ability to make a claim for Statutory Accident Benefits (no fault has to be proven) and to sue if the accident was a result of another persons fault.
Accident Benefits
Accident benefits are benefits provided under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule and provide for potential income replacement benefits, namely non-earner benefits, in the event that you are not capable of carrying on a normal life or income replacement benefits, in the event that you were working and now are not capable of working. In addition, there are many medical rehabilitation benefits that are available so long as they are reasonable and necessary and related to the injuries sustained in the car accident. There are forms which need to be completed and submitted to your insurer to claim the benefits
At fault legal proceeding
The other action that you may be able to bring is a claim against the at-fault driver. There are time limits in order to proceed against the at-fault-driver. You are able to sue the other driver, if you can prove that the other driver was at fault (ie. they caused the accident either in whole or in part). Courts in Ontario permit a splitting of liability for an accident.
1. Pain and Suffering:
You can claim for pain and suffering, subject to being able to prove your injuries are serious and permanent. As well, the claim is subject to a deductible of $30,000.00 if the damages for pain and suffering are assessed at $100,000.00 or less. Further, the Supreme Court of Canada capped the maximum motor vehicle accident amount that may be awarded for this type of damage in 1979. The current amount of the cap is approximately $325,000.00 (which is reserved for the most severe injury ie. quadriplegic).
2. Economic Loss:
You can claim for past loss of wages (special damages between accident and trial) and loss of earning capacity for pecuniary general damages (future loss of earnings). The claim for past loss of wages is limited to 80% of the net value of your expected earnings. Loss of earning capacity, is the loss of your future expected earnings up until your expected date of retirement. The Court can also compensate for partial losses of earning capacity (ie. no longer able to work 40 hours/week and now can only work 25 hours/week).
3. Medical/healthcare Expenses:
You can claim for increased medical/healthcare expenses that are related to the injuries and are not covered by OHIP and your Accident Benefits insurer or any private health insurance you may have. These could include medical expenses (prescription and non prescription), treatment expenses, medical aids (crutches and walkers), attendant care and so on.
Limitation Period - Two Years
Currently there is a 2 year limitation period in proceeding with a claim against the at-fault driver, which would commence from the day you knew or ought to have known you had a cause of action. This would normally be the day of the accident. It is important to put the driver on notice as soon as possible. The legislation does provide for you to do that within 120 days; however, that may not limit your ability to proceed with an action.
The changes made in 1989 made the process of claiming compensation for injuries and losses related to a motor vehicle accident more complex and technical. The ability of an injured person to complete the forms and meet the time periods prescribed would be almost impossible without the services of a lawyer. It is important when selecting a lawyer to pick an experienced lawyer since an improper or incorrect claim may limit or deny your right to obtain compensation.
Free 30 Minute Consultation
If you have a question related to a motor vehicle accident claim, please contact us at (613) 544-1482 to set up a 30 minute free consultation. This 30 minute free consultation, either by phone or in person, will provide you with valuable legal information related to your ability to make a successful claim for compensation.
Contingency Fee Agreements
If we decide, after review of your case, that you will likely be successful in obtaining compensation, a Contingency Fee Agreement will be offered to you. The Contingency Agreement has been used for decades by lawyers in the United States and Canada to ensure victims hurt in a motor vehicle accident can have access to legal services. Traditionally, lawyers are hired by payment for services, as they are received. This is normally based on an hourly rate and reimbursement for expenses incurred on your behalf. A Contingency Fee Agreement permits the victim to have the services of a solicitor and defer payment until a settlement or Court ordered compensation is awarded. As well, since we have evaluated your case, no fee will be charged if no compensation is offered or no Court awarded resolution is made.

New furniture at Presentation School
The Presentation School began to consider and research the idea of new furniture during the 2015-16 school year.
"The faculty felt existing furniture was impeding our ability to be flexible with our space and meet our students' needs," says assistant head of school Tracy Walthard. "Our board of trustees approved fundraising toward the initiative, with a projected $100,000 needed."
Teachers were invited to an after school symposium to explore the idea of applying design thinking to furniture adoption. They were then challenged to consider the needs of the classroom from a teacher and student prospective, record their ideas, and even complete floor plans.
"'Dream Big," was the theme," said Walthard. "We didn't want a sense of what is possible to limit our vision. In addition to teacher participation, teachers brought the idea of, 'What is needed in the ideal classroom to enhance student learning?' directly to the students."
The staff reached a consensus that the furniture should serve two purposes. It had to be flexible in movement to allow a classroom to quickly transform between whole group instruction, to group instruction, to individual work space. Secondly, research on healthy student movement and learning compelled the faculty to look beyond tradition and explore furniture that not only moved within the room, but allowed the students to move.
A demo classroom was set up in the school's seventh grade homeroom with various options and the students spent a week learning in the classroom. When the seventh grade was away at the Ashland Shakespeare Festival, all other grades had the opportunity to use the room to provide both teacher and student experiential feedback.
Presentation contracted with the furniture design company, Kay-Twelve, who worked with the school from renderings though installation.
Working within a budget, and a commitment to replace all student furniture in every classroom, multiple options for each grade were presented to teachers. Additional samples of furniture were ordered for demo. In early spring, a preliminary order was placed.
Every classroom has at least two desk/table seating options, and all classrooms have furniture on casters or glides for quick arrangements from whole class, groups and individual seating. In first and second grade, students sit in chairs that rock.
"I like how our chairs spin and can move around freely," said eighth grader Mason Rooney.
"The rolling chairs are great because you can take a book and roll your chair to wherever you want to work," added third grader Vivianne Bordelon.
Fourth grade teacher Alex Haley added that she loves the finish on the student desks that allow students to use them as whiteboard board space.
"New furniture improves learning and it's a key element in instruction, however furniture alone doesn't change education; only teachers do that," said Walthard.
The previous furniture used in the school's K-8 classrooms and science room was donated to the Sonoma Valley Unified School District.

Lots of Words, and Something About a Pony.
The other day I was complaining -- or was it more like bitching? -- about how all car ads seem pretty much the same. (If not "the same," then "zealously derivative.") Then Organic busts out with this really weird ad for the Chrysler Town & Country.
It's all words. The narrator's telling this bizarre story, then the words appear in front of you, so you get this tiring but riveting experience of seeing and hearing crunchy nouns like "pocket pony" and "crabapples" at the same time. (Don't ask, just watch.)

Thousands of nonwhite invaders rampaged through the streets of Paris in a mass brawl between Afghans, Eritreans, and sub-Saharan Africans near the Stalingrad Metro station where they have been camping out for the past several weeks.
It is not known what caused the brawl, but the nonwhites attacked each other with sticks and other makeshift weapons in the hours-long battle, much to the horror of local businesses and residents.
The fighting broke out after French police moved in to break up the invaders' sprawling tent camp, which has fouled up the streets only a few blocks from the city center.
The tent camp sprang up as the nonwhites flocked to France after landing in Italy, with the ultimate intention of invading Britain to parasite off the taxpayers in that country.
The most severe fighting took place on Tuesday this week, after initial scuffles between Afghans and Eritreans on Monday.
Up to 3,000 nonwhites have set up tents on the pavements around the Stalingrad Metro station, which is close to the Gare du Nord Eurostar hub. The local police have vowed to clear the invaders off the streets and force them into "reception centers" where they will have access to food, shelter, and toilet facilities, all provided by the French taxpayers.
A report in Le Figaro revealed that the nonwhites are ungrateful at this offer, and have already started demonstrating against their removal from the streets of Paris.
Chanting "social, solidarity," and "police, no," the invaders marched along the Avenue de Flandres waving a leaflet signed by "asylum seekers in Paris district of Stalingrad," which demanded "sustainable housing," "continuity of the procedure" demands for asylum, or "non-expulsion of migrants." The leaflet was printed in Arabic and French.
"We live here; it is very difficult; it is very cold," a 24-year-old Afghan named Mahmoud told Le Figaro. "We ask the government to provide housing and advance asylum applications."
Another invader, a Somali giving his name as Hussein, said that the "police had removed the tents. I lived for two years in Calais, where I had many incidents with police. I thought the police in France were good," he said, apparently now upset that he had been removed from the street camp.
The increasing chaos in France is entirely self-inflicted: the race-denying government parties follow an open-borders immigration and asylum policy which encourages the Third World to invade en masse.
Now, there are thousands of nonwhites overrunning France, and the ruling parties still pretend that it is all perfectly normal and that there is nothing to be concerned about.

On Wednesday the Ontario County Sheriff Deputies responded to a property damage crash on Whalen Road and County Road 30. During the subsequent investigation the driver Kristina M. Baker, age 20 of Fairport, was arrested for DWI after the she was put through a standardized field sobriety test. Marijuana was also found on the defendant.
After submitting to a Breath Test the results showed Baker to have a BAC over the legal limit. Deputies issued Baker citations to appear in court for failure to stop at a stop sign, driving while intoxicated, driving while vehicle uninsured, and appearance ticket for unlawful possession of marijuana.
Baker is to answer these charges at Bloomfield Town Court at a later date.

New Bishop is "humbled" to be chosen
The new Kildare and Leighlin Bishop will be officially installed at a sepcial ceremony in Carlow Cathedral, this weekend.
The Episcopal Ordination takes places on Sunday, August 4 at 3pm.
The chief consecrator will be the Archbishop Diarmuid Martin, assisted by Bishop Michael Smith of Meath and the Papal Nuncio, Archbishop Charles Brown.
In the days before his ordination, Fr Nulty said he was honoured, privileged and humbled to have been chosen by Pope Francis to be Bishop.
"Witnessing the preparation for my ordination ceremony on August 4 in Carlow Cathedral has confirmed for me how blessed this diocese is in the gifts and talents of so many," he said.
Fr Nulty said he was glad the ceremony would be streamed live on the internet, as it was not possible to accommodate everyone in the Cathedral.
"I hope that the broadcast will unite us in prayer and celebration," he said.
He also plans to travel around the diocese in the coming weeks and months to meet local communities.
On the day, the homily will be given by Monsignor Brendan Byrne, who has served as Diocesan Administrator for the past three years since the resignations of Bishop Jim Moriarity.
The cathedral will be full to capacity on Sunday and will include 200 family and friends of Fr Nulty, 170 parsh representatives, 100 diocesan guests including members of the local religious communities, a further 100 people in the choir and assisting in the liturgy and 200 priests including priests from the Diocese of Kildare and Leighlin and Meath. Members of the hierarchy of the Church will also be in attendance and admittance to the Cathedral will be by ticket only.
Other people who wish to attend will be accommodated in the nearyby George Bernard Shaw Theatre and Parish Centre where the service will be screened and Holy Communion will be brought from the Cathedral.

Are you wondering if it's time to see a cardiologist — a physician who specializes in diagnosing and treating heart disease?
Often patients have symptoms that raise a warning flag. They include:
When your family doctor sees these signs, often they will make a recommendation to see a cardiologist. A cardiologist has received specialized training and education on the heart and is knowledgeable about testing, medicines, and procedures to address cardiac conditions. Cardiologists will also work with other medical specialists to come up with the best treatment plan to address your particular health needs.
The cardiology specialists at Deborah Specialty Physicians have years of experience delivering excellent cardiac care. With consistently good outcomes for their patients, access to the latest technology and clinical research trials, and being highly recommended by community members, these high caliber physicians ensure that you will receive superior cardiac care close to home.
If your primary care physician recommends a cardiologist, you can remain confident that Deborah Specialty Physicians will deliver outstanding care.
Sometimes patients have already been referred to, and have seen, a cardiologist.
If you have a complex medical condition, or you are not responding to your current treatment, or you simply want to confirm the recommended treatment plan, it might be time for a second opinion.
Every patient has the right to be thoroughly informed about his or her care. A second opinion can provide a critical informational link from a provider who specializes in your condition and who has experience in delivering care. Another opinion can help you fully understand what you going through and can help you properly evaluate if you are following the right treatment for you.
Before seeking a second opinion, double-check with your insurance, make sure you bring all your medical records for review, and decide if you are looking for someone to confirm your current treatment plan, or if you are seeking new options. This will help the new cardiologist you meet with when evaluating your needs.
The Deborah Specialty Physician cardiology offices cover a wide range of diagnosis and treatment for acute and chronic heart disease, including:
During a visit with a Deborah Specialty Physician cardiologist, you will receive an electrocardiogram, or ECG. This test shows your heart's electrical activity, abnormal rhythms, and sometimes if there is muscle damage. Based on this test and a comprehensive cardiac physical, your cardiologist will determine the next steps.
Additional testing that could be ordered includes:
Some of this testing can be done in the cardiologist's office, and some of it needs to be performed at a hospital, or other testing facility. The results of your testing will determine your treatment course.
Depending on the severity of your condition treatment could include:
Deborah Specialty Physicians works closely with all the area hospitals and major insurance companies to ensure that you receive the proper testing and any procedures or surgeries needed to address your specific health condition.
Understanding your particular cardiac condition, and finding the right cardiologist or Hospital for your care is critically important. There are numerous resources to help you in your search.
Offices are located in Burlington, Galloway, Manahawkin, Mt. Laurel, and Whiting.

Book Description:
Roses for romance, daisies for hope, daffodils for unrequited love… Drop by The Beachside Flower Stall for friendship, family and a beautiful bouquet.
Carrie Dashwood fled Dorset when her best friend Megan stole her first love, Tom Hudson. Now ten years later, Carrie is back to help run her aunt Ruby's flower stall in the beautiful seaside town of Shipley.
Ruby's Blooms is a gorgeous little haven bursting with character, but Carrie is in for a real shock. The stall is also arranging the flowers for Megan and Tom's wedding.
Determined to keep her emotions in check, Carrie finds herself going to great lengths to avoid the happy couple. Soon she's crawling under the stall to hide and 'accidentally' inventing an imaginary boyfriend…But how long can she keep it up before she comes face to face with the boy who broke her heart?
Can Carrie keep her cool, save the stall, and find her very own happy ever after?
My Thoughts:
The Beachside Flower Stall is the second novel in the Beachside Bay series. Don't worry if you haven't read the first as this is a stand alone with new characters, just set in the same place.
You have to feel for poor Carrie. She has come back to her home town to help her aunt which means facing people that she was running away from. She has also lost her job as an accountant so really has no clue how to run a flower stall. She has to learn quickly though as she is pretty much left to run it on her own!
The author has a way of just bringing her novels and the characters to life. They are such fabulous feel good books that made me want to pack my bags and move into the area with the characters.
Megan I really disliked. She is in serious need of a good slap. She is one of those people who is't afraid to tread on anyone to get what she wants in life. She really is quite vile and I didn't know how at times Carrie keeps her cool.
Tom, what can I say. I think I was in love with him as much as Carrie and Megan. I was dying for him to see through Megan and send her packing. I could easily imagine life with him in the cottage at the vets surgery with his three legged dog called Hovis. A girl can dream.
The Beachside Flower Stall is a colourful and light hearted read. This is a series that will have fans falling over themselves to get their hands on a copy. It really is that good. Can not wait to see what new characters we are going to be introduced to in the next book in the series.
My thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book. All opinions are my own and biased in anyway.
Goodreads rating 5/5 stars.
The Beachside Flower Stall is available to purchase from Amazon.

Page 161 - For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Page 257 - And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Page 45 - You have heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not commit adultery. But I say to you, that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Page 103 - Such a nation might truly say to corruption, thou art my father, and to the worm, thou art my mother and my sister.
Page 276 - But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind : And thou shalt be blessed ; for they cannot recompense thee : but thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
Page 252 - ... what we really are. But then, as the world offers more trials on the one hand, so on the other it holds out more duties. If we are called to battle oftener, we have more opportunities of victory.
Page 267 - Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
Page 266 - ... godliness hath promise of the life that now is," as well as of that which is to come.
Page 386 - Our ignorance is the cause Why thus we blame our Maker's laws ; Parts of his ways alone we know ; 'Tis all that man can see below. " Seest thou that carpet, not half done, Which thou, dear Dick, hast well begun'?

Cell Diagrams
For cell diagrams, how do you know when the anode should be on the left side and cathode on the right side versus cathode on the left side and anode on the right side?

Re: Cell Diagrams
I don't believe it matters, as long as you indicate which way the electrons are moving and what substances are being formed/used. Usually you would put the anode half reaction (oxidation) on the left side and the cathode half reaction (reduction) on the right side.

Re: Cell Diagrams
My TA was telling us that when we do the cell diagrams, the anode goes on the left and then the cathode on the right by convention.

Re: Cell Diagrams
Yea I think the book also always had the anode on the left and the cathode on the right (similar to how it is in the galvanic cell picture)

[PDF] Download ☆ The Garden of the Gods | by ✓ Gerald Durrell
The third volume in the Corfu Trilogy continues the accounts of the young Gerald Durrell during the years that he and his family lived in Corfu before the Second World War While the animals of Corfu are young Gerald s focus, it is the antics of his family and their array of friends and acquaintances that are the centrepiece of the humorous account.
Gerald Durrell
Gerald Gerry Malcolm Durrell was born in India in 1925 His family settled on Corfu when Durrell was a boy and he spent his time studying its wildlife He relates these experiences in the trilogy beginning with My Family and Other Animals, and continuing with Birds, Beasts and Relatives and The Garden of the Gods In his books he writes with wry humour and great perception about both the humans and the animals he meets On leaving Corfu he returned to England to work on the staff of Whipsnade Park as a student keeper His adventures there are told with characteristic energy in Beasts in My Belfry A few years later, Durrell began organising his own animal collecting expeditions The first, to the Cameroons, was followed by expeditions to Paraguay, Argentina and Sierra Leone He recounts these experiences in a number of books, including The Drunken Forest Durrell also visited many countries while shooting various television series, including An Amateur Naturalist In 1958 Gerald Durrell realised a lifelong dream when he set up the Jersey Zoological Park, followed a few years later by the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust Rosy is My Relative, his first novel, was published in 1968 Whether in a factual account of an expedition or a work of non fiction, Gerald Durrell s style is exuberant, passionate and acutely observed Gerald Durrell died in 1995.
This is the third and the last of Gerald Durrell's Corfu Trilogy. I think it is best to read them in order. For this reason I am not going to explain the whole story here, because this is not where you should start. When you pick up this book you will already know who everyone is. When you pick up the second and the third book it is like meeting old friends. All the books are both funny and lovely, a spot of sun in the darkness. Are you looking for something light, something to make you laugh? I [...]
Otis Chandler
Book 3 is more of the same: hilarious and wonderful stories about the Durrell's live in Greece. I think this one was even funnier than the last two. If there were more of these I'd read them! Most of the funny bits have to do with Gerry and his animals doing crazy things - for instance:"The lamb seemed disappointed that no one was taking any notice of him; he had gambolled a little, decorated the floor, and done two nicely executed pirouettes, but he felt that no one was paying him the attention [...]
Last of the Corfu trilogy. I remember the day when I found it in the bookshop for the first time. I hugged it like a long lost friend, instantly carried it home. Read it the same day smiling and laughing all the time. I just finished it again, I read it whenever feeling blue, we have the most frightfully cold and wet weather at the moment. It was a perfect remedy. Full of sunshine and innocence of childhood, mixed with quite astute albeit slightly unkind comments about older siblings (which as t [...]
What can I say? The end of the trilogy was one of my worst days in reading ever. Once being let in the magical and almost surreal world of Durrel's Corfu adventures, you can't seem to let go for long. I know these books by heart, but I still re-read them at least once a year. Not to count all the times when I only search through my favorite places, but end up reading straight through. Durrel's world is like an improved Eden before being chased away - so light, so innocent, so sunny and yet so re [...]
This is the finish to the trilogy of books Durrell wrote about growing up on Corfu. I love all three books for their combination of family memoir and natural history. Durrell writes well and these books are very funny so beware of reading them on public transportation!These books delighted me as a middle-school aged kid when I read them before and they are just as delightful now as I aspire to adulthood. Some day I will at least visit Corfu, but my true fantasy is to find a strawberry pink villa [...]
The Garden of the Gods is the third and last in Durrell's Corfu trilogy. I had a hard time finding this book to purchase, but finally got an almost forty year old paperback from England in remarkably good condition for very little money (about $7.00 including shipping).Again, I was delighted with Durrell's writing. He was a genius at writing hilarious conversation and relating humorous episodes. I love laughing out loud when I read his books, but it's hard not to wake up the entire household whe [...]
Със съжаление приключих с прочитането на трилогията. Благодарна съм на Джералд Даръл за щедрите порции смях и прекрасните спомени от гостоприемната слънчева Гърция, както и за уникалния начин, по който пресъздава погледа на едно десетгодишно дете към света и природата. На [...]
Israel Montoya Baquero
Durrell mantiene el tipo en su conclusión de la "Trilogia de Corfu", con nuevas, delirantes, y divertidas historias protagonizadas por la familia del escritor en la isla griega.
The Durrells were an amazing family. Gerry,the author of so many wonderful books, gives a delightful look into his family's lives in Corfu after moving from England. His prose is lush, giving me a feeling as if I also lived there, felt the sun on my face, swam in the ocean near their villa, saw all the animal and insect life he described, and ate some of the wonderful foods his mother cooked. The PBS series is very close to these books.
I loved the way he gives the animals and insects personalities.
This is the final part of the "Corfu trilogy." The full review will be posted in the single volume os this trilogy which was kindly sent by my dear friend Themis-Atena.
Qué penita acabar la trilogía. Leeré más libros de este autor con la esperanza de volver a encontrarme con su divertidísima familia :D
This is the third volume of the author´s trilogy about his life in Corfu in the 30s immediately prior to the Second World War.Gerard Durrell has a unique gift for writing hilarious prose. He is particularly humorous when describing the heterogeneous members of his family, who are continually arguing and quarrelling amongst themselves.The head of the household is Mother, whose main characteristic is her placatory nature (Oh, I´m sure he didn´t mean it, Larry!). Otherwise she is constantly occu [...]
A lovely conclusion to the trilogy. And the visit of the King of Greece had me in stitches.
Ian Smith
An artist of words, Gerald Durrell reconstructs distant memories of his golden childhood on Corfu with evocative and humorous caricatures of people, places and events, brilliantly described in glorious technicolor. A sensory overload of sights, sounds, smells, and tastes pours from every page, liberally sprinkled with vividly flamboyant similes. Just read the first paragraph of the book - simply wonderful. Made me wonder what Gerald Durrell could have achieved had he turned to 'serious' writing. [...]
Another diverting read from Gerald Durrell. I got a bit tired of Captain Creech (I don't know how Mrs.Durrell put up with him), but the stories are entertaining and the descriptions of animals are again meticulous and skillful.
I kept having such laughter fits that my dog woke up and came to me with a worried look on its face.
It's a vey nice book. I enjoyed it. It's not as goood as the "My family and other animals" but it has very funny and interesting stories.
argh! I'm so torn on this one. What I loved about it:It feels so good to be in Corfu again!We meet many new characters (including the charming Jeejee) and life in Corfu is fleshed out a bit as we venture into town and interact more with the locals.We learn more about Mother and her background, which is fabulous, because she is probably my favorite character of the whole series and I find her utterly fascinating. We also get to learn a tiny bit more about Theodore, another one of my favorites.Thi [...]
1977 50th birthday challengeWhere oh where did get this recommendation? I wish I could thank the source. Fauna and Family, also known as The Garden of the Gods, is the third in Durrell's Corfu trilogy, and it became a show on Masterpiece Theater. I had not heard of any of this family memoir. I read the third book without having read the first two and I think it can be read it on its own, but I wish I had known these characters all along. The family consists of three brothers, one sister and th [...]

I'm a fan of Gerald Durell so I forgive him for the sweeping generalization of, "like so many Americans, they were possessed of a charming naiveté and earnestness," depicted through two flamboyant nitwits of whom Leslie played one trick after another. I found that small part of the book annoying. I deducted one star: I had no idea I was so thin-skinned. This is the last book in the trilogy. I'm saving the middle book for my escape from next year's cold winter. I love the characters, as [...]
Határozottan az a véleményem, hogy ezek a történetek kimeríthetetlen forrásai a vidám, de legalábbis mosolygós pillanatoknak. Minden családban vannak olyan történetek, amik utólag visszagondolva roppant viccesek (mert azt be kell látni, hogy az adott pillanatban nem mindig értékeljük a dolgok pikantériáját) de mégis jobb, ha mások ballépéseiről olvasunk, ugyebár. Azért sokszor irigyeltem azt a világot Gerry-től, a szigetet, az állatok seregletét, a szokatlanabbná [...]
One-third of the Corfu Trilogy. Very funny!
I really enjoyed it! There weren't quite as many laugh out loud moments as the first two, but overall it felt exactly like coming home to sink into the joys of Corfu for a few hours and enjoy the Durrell family.
No diminishing of pleasure in these continued anecdotes from Corfu. I want to be a ten-year-old boy collecting animals, learning from Theodore and Kralefsky, befriending the locals and observing my crazy family. Read all of these books.
Ken Fredette
I was a little upset when I finished the third book of the trilogy because Gerald Durrell was only still a thirteen year old at the time yet he was still looking for anything that was an animal or insect or bird or human. Still his anecdotes of the family was amusing. I can't imagine living on an island like Corfu and having the type of life they had with different people coming and going constantly as the only entertainment. I would recommend this trilogy for everyone's pleasure to read.
Rita Welty Bourke
Louisa Durrell, widowed mother of four, decides to move her family from cold, rainy England to the lovely Greek island of Corfu. The dilapidated house she rents has no electricity, but the island is a paradise and living is cheap. Mrs. Durrell's children, Larry, Leslie, Margo, and Gerry, adjust each in his/her own way: Larry works on a novel, Margo falls in and out of love, Leslie has a love affair with guns, and budding naturalist Gerry fills the house and patio with his collection of fauna: [...]
A complete gem, just like the first two in the series. Delightful, engaging, laugh-out-loud funny. I'd recommend the Corfu trilogy to just about anyone. It was especially nice to read about dreamy, sunny Greece in the middle of a dreary, frigid winter. This one does have a bit more colorful language than the first two books in the trilogy just something to keep in mind if reading aloud to a kid.
Out of the Corfu trilogy this one is the best - it's much ruder than the other two, thanks to captain Creech and the situations described are fantastic. From the farcical picnic, the blue ice cream and the birthday party. All funny.
Peter Macinnis
Almost up to the standard of the two that went before, surpassing them in places. Perhaps I am Durrelled out, but this one is definitely a keeper! And Corfu is on my list, perhaps after another week on Kefallonia.

Hello friends! This week's edition will be quick links as I'm dealing with a sick puppy.
This article in The Guardian is an excerpt from a book about drone warfare. (Trigger warnings for death and violence.)
Avijit Roy, a Bangladeshi-American blogger who was an atheist and outspoken in his opposition to religious extremism, was killed this week. (Another trigger warning for death and violence.)
The U.S. is considering staying longer in the Kandahar province of Afghanistan.
The parents of a former Thai princess were arrested under the laws against defamation of the royal family.
Since it's widely believed that an increase in poaching of African elephants is directly related to the Chinese demand for ivory, the government has instituted a one year ban on the import of ivory.
An avalanche north of Kabul is believed to have killed 187 people.
This story tells the story of Afghanistan's first female taxi driver, Sara Bahayi.
India's prime minister denounced communalism and promised religious freedom for all.
Meanwhile, India's government is investing $137 billion in railways.
Greenpeace India admitted it didn't adequately address or take action on a female staff member's complaints of sexual harassment by another employee.
A North Korean company has renamed ships to avoid U.S. sanctions and has tried to smuggle things like fighter jets into the country.
South Korea struck down a 60-year-old law making infidelity illegal.
Independent civic groups in China are facing crackdowns and arrests.
This is a tactic I know some wish would happen to anti-vaxxers here in the States: parents in Pakistan have been detained for refusing the polio vaccine for their children.
Finally, remember the excitement over the Afghan men's cricket team? Well, Afghanistan beat Scotland in their first match by one wicket.

One of the hardest things for a creative agency to do is to point the microscope inwards and work on your own brand…especially when you are busy delivering design solutions for clients. That perfect communication execution always seems one more iteration away and the studio is always too busy to focus on it. The redesign gets put on hold and left behind.
Well no more... we've taken the plunge and built our new site as part of an on going re-brand that will take shape over the next few months.
Our last site had been online for too long without so much as a facelift. In the world of digital that makes it about as out of date as Sunny D. So with a new head of online strategy onboard it was time for a real change.
The new site will act as a platform for change, helping us to share and develop our fresh branding and tell our story. Over the next few weeks we will be updating it with new work and blog posts. There is photography and new case studies underway as I type.

(Originally posted… oh, lawd… some time in early 2004)
Lorena's Chex Mix
Everybody always asks me how I make my Chex Mix.
Before I tell you that, you have to sit through a history lesson.
My grandmother always made this Chex Mix at the holidays. Quite popular, it was, and I was never able to get to it until after all the grown-ups had their fill. It wasn't until after she died, and I found her recipe in an old cookbook, that I even knew there were nuts in it! So I took the recipe to my dad and was all, there are NUTS in this! How come I never had any nuts? And my dad just covered his mouth with his hand and giggled and giggled. Apparently he would pick through before I got to it, to eat the nuts.
So. I sort of make it the same way my grandmother did, if by "the same way" you mean telling people you do it one way to get them to stop asking you, and then doing it any damn way you please because it depends on what's on sale or what the store is out of when you go. Personally I tend to use about six times more nuts than G-ma did, just because. Mostly because (see above story) people seem to want to pick through when it's still warm and eat all the nuts. You are welcome to try this, but let me just warn you that plenty of my friends have tried following my recipe and each one of them has told me that theirs didn't turn out as good as mine does (must be that they don't put in enough Crack).
Here are the ingredients I used for my Chex Mix for Christmas 2003:
1 box Cinnamon Crunch Crispix cereal
2 boxes Honey Nut toasted rice and corn cereal
1 large box of Cheerios
1 large box of Rice Chex
1 large box of Corn Chex
2 pounds of cashews
2 pounds of almonds
2 pounds of pecans
2 pounds of walnuts
2 pounds of brazil nuts
3 containers of Wheat Nuts
1 bag of pretzel sticks
1 bag of small twisted pretzels
10 sticks of butter (real butter, not any of that pansy-ass margarine*)
1 jar of steak sauce
1 small jar of hot sauce
1 jar of Worcestershire Sauce
Old Bay seasoning
Garlic salt
Onion salt
Seasoned Salt
McCormick's Spicy Seasoning
*I have tried margarine before and it leaves a really disgusting greasy film on everything. Trust me; use butter.
You also need something to bake it in (I use big cheap turkey roasters) and something to store it in when you're done (I use the cheap containers put out by Glad and/or Ziploc, depending on what the store has in)
This will feed armies. Armies! I am not kidding. This made approximately 114 cups of Chex mix (give or take a cup or two for munching… I have to taste-test, you know).
I put as much as I comfortably can into one roaster (usually the equivalent of two boxes of cereal). I sprinkle on a liberal amount of the dry spices. Then I melt two sticks of butter, mix in a liberal amount of the wet ingredients, and pour over the contents of the roaster. Bake at 300 degrees for two hours, stirring from bottom to top every 30 minutes to coat everything in the butter/spice mixture. As I finish with one batch, I pour it into a huge container that will eventually hold all of the Chex Mix; this makes it a lot easier to mix up. Thanks to my new range, this only took six hours instead of the 12 I was expecting, since I can fit two roasting pans into the 5 cubic square foot oven.
When completely finished, mix up and store in smaller gift containers. Or just shovel directly into mouth.


text: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) continually develops strategies to build a tax administration to effectively deal with globalization and the international community. In an effort to enhance the processing of Chapter Three Withholding (CTW) Program information returns, the IRS is providing withholding agents with the following list of the ten most common errors found during the processing of Form 1042-S, Foreign Person's U.S. Source Income Subject to Withholding. This communication alert is part of ongoing efforts to develop enhanced computer data consistency and validity controls to ensure the integrity, accuracy and completeness of Forms 1042-S submitted by Withholding Agents. Top Ten Form 1042-S Processing Errors: Invalid income code entered in the Income Code field. An entry is required in this box. The income code must accurately reflect the type of income paid. DO NOT leave blank or enter "00." Invalid tax rate entered in the Tax Rate field. An entry is required in this box. Enter the correct rate of withholding that applies to the income reported in the Gross Income field or the Net Income field, as appropriate. Enter the tax rate using the following format: two digits, a decimal, and two digits (e.g., 04.95 for 4.95% or 30.00 for 30%). U.S. federal tax withheld reported in the U.S. Federal Tax Withheld field is inconsistent with a "valid tax rate." This "math error" may result in the issuance of an error notice. Recipient code "20" (Unknown recipient) is entered in the Recipient Code field when a recipient's name appears in the Recipient's Name and Address field. In general, an "unknown recipient" is a recipient from whom no documentation, or incomplete documentation, has been received by a withholding agent. An unknown recipient is always subject to withholding at the maximum applicable rate. The recipients name entered in the Recipient's Name and Address field is inconsistent with the recipient code entered in the Recipient Code field. For example, the "XYZ Pension Fund" is reported as an "Individual" (Recipient code "01"). The Recipient's U.S. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) does not report a TIN when exemption code "01" is entered in the Exemption Code field. If an account holder (recipient) does not provide a TIN on Form W-8ECI, Certificate of Foreign Person's Claim for Exemption From Withholding on Income Effectively Connected with the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States, the form is invalid. DO NOT enter exemption code "01" in the Exemption Code field. Withhold tax at a rate of 30%. A Qualified Intermediary Employer Identification Number (QI-EIN) is entered in the Withholding Agent's EIN field and the Recipient Code field reporting a recipient code other than "12" (Qualified Intermediary). In addition, the QI EIN checkbox in the Withholding Agent's EIN field is checked and the Withholding Agent EIN is not a QI-EIN. Note: A QI-EIN is for QI reporting purposes only and should not be used on any tax return other than Forms 1042, 1042-T, 1042-S or 945. Country of residence entered in the Recipient's Country of Residence for Tax Purposes field is inconsistent with the country code entered in the Recipient's Country Code field. The country code used must be a valid code taken from the Country Code Table. The use of "OC" or "UC" will generate an error condition. If a recipient is claiming treaty benefits, the country code can never be "OC" or "UC." Boxes requiring an entry are left blank. For all amount fields report in dollars only and right-justify. You may round off cents to whole dollars. To round, drop amounts under 50 cents and increase amounts from 50 to 99 cents to the next dollar (for example, $1.39 becomes $1 and $2.50 becomes $3).

Message from the President
Hello Families my name is Andrew Adams I am the President of Jack Barry Little League and welcome to another great season! I am looking forward to an exciting season to serve with a great Board of Directors in hopes of offering your children a fun, educational and competitive baseball experience. Together we are going to make this a very special season for our JBLL family.
First off I would like to thank everyone who helped make 2019 another great year. Thank you to our wonderful Board for their hard work and dedication, our coaches for dedicating their time mentoring our kids, and our Sponsors for their generous financial support. Please join me in thanking them and all our volunteers that allow our program to thrive.
At a time when children have many sports and activities to choose from, we are thrilled that a large number of boys and girls between the ages of four and twelve have chosen to play baseball at Jack Barry Little League. JBLL has served the community for 70 years, providing a positive environment for the development of sportsmanship, character and athletic skill among our baseball youth. Our program puts an emphasis on fundamentals, participation, development, teamwork, safety, family involvement, and FUN, all while developing an appreciation and love for the game of baseball. I know what a thrill it is to see your child play for the first time and watch them grow and improve through the years. These are memories that we will all cherish and I am pleased that you too will enjoy watching your children learn baseball and grow as part of the Jack Barry Little League family.
We are all volunteers so please remember to thank your coaches, umpires, team parent, the person working the snack bar, our sponsors, or anyone playing any constructive role in this league. Thank you for stepping up. Volunteer – on or off the field, for an hour or a season, young or old, we'll find a way you can help. Be a role model – cheer for great plays and great effort - regardless of team. Accept bad calls – they go both ways. I only ask that everyone remembers the kids are watching us.
Whether this is your first or your final year in JBLL, I encourage you to make the most of this season for your player and your family.
The volunteer JBLL Board of Directors, Managers and Coaches have an action-packed season planned, so please check your email and www.jbll.org regularly.

- Minors Farm A division will also expand from 3 teams to 4 teams consisting of players age 7-9
- Remaining minors and T-Ball will remain the same as in past years
Additional we are happy to announce a reduction in registration fees.
2018 Fees are as follows:

Here's How I Rank 'Em This Week
One small thing I'd like to mention: I'm a little tired of hearing analysts say teams like Murray State and Creighton have a "ceiling" of, say, the Sweet 16. Didn't they learn anything last year from VCU and Butler (and even UConn, a traditional power), who all made the Final Four?
To say a team like Murray State has no chance of reaching New Orleans is just plain silly. Slim chance, sure, but hardly impossible.
1. Kentucky
2. Ohio State
3. Syracuse
4. North Carolina
5. Missouri
6. Duke
7. Baylor
8. Kansas
9. Michigan State
10. Florida
11. Murray State
13. Creighton
14. St. Mary's
15. Georgetown
16. Marquette
17. San Diego State
18. Gonzaga
19. Virginia
20. Mississippi State
21. Wisconsin
22. Harvard
23. Louisville
24. Florida State
25. Vanderbilt

"Flotter and the Perfect Day" was a late 24th century children's book in The Adventures of Flotter series. A copy of this book was stored on a PADD aboard the USS Voyager.
The book had at least five chapters, and was available both in text and audio. The book began with an attack by a fleet of alien ships on four natural wonders: the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Yellowstone National Park, and Yosemite National Park, all in the western United States on Earth. (VOY: "Lineage")
The text ended abruptly with the suggestion that the aliens were hunting for something amid the rubble of the destroyed regions.
According to the text description for the PADD, this story appears in several episodes of Star Trek: Voyager. [1]

Baby It's You
K, well I'm deciding to bite off way more than I can chew and I'm writing yet another Beatle love story along with my Beatles Muse story. :) I don't know, I just love writing them, so why stop? Hope you all like it!
Chapter 1
If I Fell
"Come on, (your name)," Jane says, poking at various camera buttons. "The boss will KILL us if we don't get this story. It's not too often the Beatles come to America, much less New York."
You groan. "It's not like they'll ever talk to us. They're the BEATLES. They probably all have model wives or something."
Jane rolls her eyes. "You're such a downer, (your name). Do you know how excited any other woman in America would be to be in your position? You get to interview all four Beatles. And I get to take pictures!!"
"Interviews are set up and private. This is a press conference," you correct her, rolling your own eyes.
Jane shakes her head, but smiles. "Come on," she says, taking your wrist and pulling you into the conference room, where you two have reserved front seats.
"Look, there's Paul!" Jane whispers, pointing at the "cute one."
"Put your hands down!" you whisper-yell at her, yanking her fingers down. "Be professional."
"John is staring at you," she says, a big smile on her face.
"Don't tease me," you warn Jane. "You're the only person I've told I think John is hot, and that's all I think."
"You also think he's an amaaazzziiinnng songwriter," Jane teases anyway.
You groan. "WHY did I choose YOU to do this with me?"
"Because I'm your best friend," Jane replies. Despite your anger with her, you know she's right.
"The Beatles will now take your questions," the manager, Brian, says into a microphone.
Instantly, everyone's hand shoots into the air, including your own. Jane and the other photographers begin snapping pictures.
George points at a bald man with glasses. "How do you enjoy being in America so far?" he asks.
You roll your eyes. It's 1966, they've already been here for two years. You would think people would realize that question has been done to death.
Apparently, John feels the same way, as he looks in a completely different direction. After Paul gives a typical, bored answer, Ringo points to a petite woman.
"How have the fans been treating you?" she asks in a high, squeaking voice.
You rub your temples. People are so stupid.
After Ringo answering with one word- "Fine."- everyone shoots their hands in the air again.
And John picks you.
You can hear Jane giggling next to you, but you're determined to be professional, and show all these half-brained reporters how to ask a question.
"Your new album, Revolver, has a very new sound from your typical rock-pop songs. What has caused you four to change?" you ask in your most polished voice.
All four Beates' eyes light up, but none more than John's.
"Well..." he begins, obviously not expecting such a question.â€I suppose we have just... evolved. You know, with the peace movement and all, we just figured it was time we changed with the word. Not to mention we've been influenced by American artists, as everyone else has been."
You smile and scribble down the answer.
"May I ask YOU a question, ma'am?" you hear John's voice again. Your head shoots up. You can feel half the eyes in the room turn to John and the other half to you. Your face turns bright red, but nod.
"Would you like to go out with me after this conference?" he asks calmly into the microphone, like you two are not in front of a crowd of at least 30 people. Paul and George grin and shake their heads, like it's all a big joke.
"Go John!" Ringo shouts.
You awkwardly pull back a strand of hair, not sure how to respond. Jane is grinning from ear to ear.
"S-sure," you squeak.
John grins and winks at you.
"Down, Martha!" you shriek at the dog, who jumps up onto you. "Down!"
The sheepdog seems to smile at you, as it continually jumps up every time you push her back down, as if she just wants to hug you.
"Down!" you cry again, but can't stop from giggling as Martha knocks you over, onto the grass, and begins licking your face.
"(Your name)!" an angry voice shouts.
Your smile disappears as you turn and see Jason, the strictest worker in all of the Humane Society.
"Sorry, Jason," you call, and pull Martha over to the door. "I was just taking Martha out for a walk."
"I told you, (your name), you can't get attached to an animal if you can't adopt it. In fact, someone else wants to. He's here now."
You sigh and bite your lip. You knew this day was coming.
"I'll go take her over," you say, still leading the dog back to kennel, feeling smaller with every step.
But when you walk in, greeted by loud dog barks and cat meows, there is not one man, but four men. More commonly known as the Beatles.
They all turn and look at you, but the only one that catches your eye is the one with brown doe eyes, Paul McCartney. And it appears he can only look at you.
"This is Martha," you say in your calmest voice, but it's shaky.
Paul grins. "I love sheepdogs," he says, and gets down on his knee, calmly motioning for the dog to come towards him.
"I don't understand why you want a dog, McCartney," John says, looking over at the kitten kennels. "Cats are the only animals worth having."
"Can't argue with that logic," George adds.
Paul scoffs. "Quiet down, you lot," he says, rubbing under Martha's chin. "Ringo agrees with me, don't ya?"
Ringo, however, is staring into a hamster cage. "Why is it sleeping at three in the afternoon?" he asks.
"They're nocturnal," you call over to Ringo. He makes a face.
"I like cows," he responds, turning his attention back.
Paul chuckles and beings stroking Martha's head. "What a sweetie," he says.
"Yes, she is," you reply, petting her in the same spot. Your and Paul's hand graze.
Instead of pulling away, he looks up at you and smiles. You blush, but do the same.
"So uh, how old is she?" he asks, changing the subject.
"About two years," you answer, still a bit red. "And she's had all her shots and everything."
"Can we get a kitty instead?" John calls, poking his finger through the bars of the kitten's cage as it swats at his pointer. "Pretty please?"
"Quiet down!" Paul shouts. He smiles at you apologetically. "They have the maturity level of that hamster."
You laugh. "It's alright."
"Well, I'm content with this pup. Should we go fill out the paperwork?" he says.
"Sure, let me go get it. You and Martha can bond."
But as soon as you turn away, Martha follows you.
"No no," Paul says to the god, gently pulling her back by the collar. Martha whimpers, barks, and knocks Paul over as she bounds over to you.
You slap your palm to your forehead. Martha got too attached to you.
"I'm sorry," you apologize. "It seems Martha has taken a bit of a liking to me."
Paul looks intrigued. "Smart dog."
You turn red again. "We have other dogs, if you would like to-"
"No, actually, maybe you and Martha could come over to my home. That way she can get have get used to my home and still have you there."
That's actually a very good idea. "I suppose we could do that," you reply.
"Then it's a date," he says with a smile. "See you tomorrow at 10?"
You nod, your heart feeling fluttery.
"Arg!" your best friend, George Harrison, cries, plopping down on your patio chair.
You smile at him knowingly. "Rough day at Abbey Road?"
"Rough day at HOME!" he moans. "Pattie is driving me mad!"
You nod and pour him a glass of lemonade.
"Thanks," he says, taking a long, slow sip, as though he was trying to lose his anger in the drink.
"So why don't you tell me what's wrong with you and Pattie this time?" you ask, drinking some of your own.
He groans again. "I don't know, the spark we once had is GONE. And she's been so... distant lately. It's strange."
You nod, even though you could care less about Pattie Boyd. She's a nice girl and all, but you have a major bone to pick with her.
She stole the man of your dreams.
"It's nice to have a childhood friend like you, (your name)," George tells you, his hazel eyes gazing into yours. "A woman who understand and there doesn't have to be any drama."
You smile. "I just know it's pointless to argue with YOU, George Harrison," you reply.
He laughs. "I don't know, you're a woman, what do you think I should do?"
"If the spark is gone, George..." you trail off, not wanting to finish your thought, hoping he gets the idea.
He sighs. "I know, I know. But... I think I still love her. Maybe I'm not IN love, but I think I still love her."
You swallow nothing. You hate it when he says he loves Pattie. All you can think about is the fact is that he should be talking about you.
"I miss the days when love as simple as marrying your high-school sweetheart," George continues, gazing at nothing in particular. You wish you could do the same, but you can't keep your eyes off of him. Has there ever BEEN a more beautiful man? You think not.
"Me too," you agree.
"I keep getting a bad feeling about her. She's not home very often, and when she is, she dislikes it when I even kiss her," he says, and then his eyes light up. "Do you think she's cheating on me?!"
More than anything, you want to scream "yes yes yes!" and wrap him in a kiss, but you refrain. "I don't know George, but it seems unlikely," is the best you can come up with.
He sighs. "Anyway, I better get home," he says, and stands up, and you follow. "Thanks for everything," he says, and hugs you.
"It was nothing," you reply as he kisses you on the cheek.
"Bye, babe," he says, and shuffles back to his car.
You sigh, lightly stroking the spot George kissed. You can't help but feel hopeless that will be the closest you and George ever get to a real kiss.
"I love you," you whisper to George, even though he cannot hear you.
"Men are SCUM," you bark to Jessica, your best friend, as you shove curly fries into your mouth.
Jessica sighs. "You and Fredrick broke up again?" she asks.
"For GOOD this time," you swear, filling your mouth to full fry capacity.
"Suuuuuurrrrreee it is," she replies, sounding skeptical. "And slow down with the fries, you'll blow up like a balloon."
You roll your eyes. "What do I care?" you ask. "I've sworn off men. FOREVER."
Jessica smiles, amused. "You're such a drama queen."
"Am not," you mutter, and sip some Coke
"So, change of subject," she says, perking up. "I heard the Beatles are in town."
You scoff. "The Beatles are MEN. What do I care?"
"Oh, you love the Beatles, and nothing Fredrick does can stop that," she tells you, "And come on, Ringo Starr is in town, your favorite!"
You can't help but crack a smile. You do love Ringo. John is hot, Paul is cute and George is sexy, but Ringo is all three.
"Maybe Ringo will whisk you away to his Octopus's Garden, free from evil men and fatty fries," Jessica teases, stealing a few.
"Yeah, because I'm actually going to see Ringo Starr while he's-"
"It's Ringo Starr!" a voice shrieks.
You and Jessica whip your heads over to the front door, where there IS Mr. Ringo Starr, looking horrified he has been recognized. He takes off, towards your table, no less.
"It's your chance!" Jessica cries. "Let Ringo hid in our booth and he'll love you for sure!!"
"Are you crazy!?" you shout, but Jessica is already on the job.
"Hide here, Mr. Starr!" she whisper-yells as Ringo rounds the corner. "You can hide next to my friend, (your name)!"
Out of options, Ringo smiles at you and Jessica and slides into the booth beside you. Your heart skips a beat.
Luckily, the crowd does not see Ringo as they pass your booth, and all three of you breathe a sigh of relief.
"Thank you so much," Ringo says to the two of you. "They would have mauled me for sure! How can I ever repay you?"
You smile shyly at him. "An autograph would suffice."
He grins and pulls out a pen, signing two napkins for you two.
"I hate to be pushy but... would you like to give me an autograph as well?" he asks you.
You raise an eyebrow. "But I'm not famous. Not like you, anyway."
He smiles again. "Maybe I could... borrow your phone number? I'd use mine, but I'm afraid I've gone and lost it."
It's your turn to laugh. "K," you reply. "And you're lucky I'm a sucker for horrible pick-up lines and blue eyes."
"You're funny," he says with a wink. "I'll call you."
You smile and blush as Ringo take the chance to escape the restraunt.
Jessica smiles. "I told you, and you're welcome."
You look away, still beet red. "Thanks," you mutter, grinning.
"You need to set me up with one of the others," she says. "You owe me."
"You were right about something else," you respond, turning back towards her.
"What was that?"
"I shouldn't have eaten those fries."

11.39 In Stock
With Ian Hunter coming off two solidly excellent solo albums, hopes for his third were sky high, all the more so since he had returned, nominally at least, to a band format with the Earl Slick fired Overnight Angels. The truth of the matter, however, was incomparably sadder, as the ensuing disc emerged bloated, tired and almost wholly lacking in the energies that had hitherto fired Hunter's work. Overnight angels? More like overweight. There were some moments of greatness -- "Justice of the Peace" is a bouncy pop confection detailing a shotgun wedding, while "The Ballad of Little Star" leads off a handful of cuts that delve deep into the Americana lore and legend with which Hunter, newly transplanted to the United States, was surrounding himself. Unfortunately, that might well be the album's greatest problem. As a songwriter with both Mott the Hoople and alone, Hunter's greatest strength was his ability to detail emotions -- usually his, but other peoples' too. Overnight Angels, however, has no unifying theme beyond an attempt to "be" American -- a state of being that a thirty-something guy from Shropshire, England, was never going to achieve. With the band similarly uncertain about precisely what they are trying to do, the entire album founders and it is ironic indeed that the only song from the entire Overnight Angels period that had any kind of lifespan ahead of it was a catchy little rocker that Hunter buried away on a B-side, "England Rocks." Retitled "Cleveland Rocks" and unleashed on his next tour, the song has since become established among Hunter's all-time greats.

Guidelines for Creating Issues and Adding Values to Sets
This section covers specific use cases in workflow editor, which are either separate constructions or procedures, not complete rules:
Create a New Issue from the Workflow Editor
Sometimes a use case requires automatic creation of a new issue while executing workflow.
Creating of a new issue is applied on behalf of currently logged in user (use
loggedInUser method).
To create an issue, you should use
loggedInUser.createNewIssue("projectID") method.
When applied, this method will create an issue with default (or empty) values set for each field (configured in a project).
To be able to create an issue with specific values for fields, you can use variable declaration (see the sample below).
The following sample code shows creating a new issue in the project with 'RM' projectId, specifying needed fields values, and adding for the current issue a 'depends on' link to the issue to be created:
var i = loggedInUser.createNewIssue("RM");
i.Assignee = Marketing;
i.Due Date = Due Date - 1 month;
i.summary = "Write text for mailing list";
i.Version = Version;
i.Product = Product;
depends on.add(i);
Add a Value to a Set
Sets of values for issue fields in YouTrack usually differ in different projects. When you edit a rule that specifies a value for a field, the value is underscored when it is not available in all of the projects that use the field. A tooltip shows which projects do not contain the value.
You can add the value to any of these projects in the workflow editor.
To add a value to all available sets of values:
- Move the pointer over the value.
- Click the notification bulb or press Alt + Enter to open the context menu.
- Click the command in the context menu and confirm the action.

The rumors about Jimmy Fallon having a drinking problem have been floating around for quite a while but according to "Page Six" the situation of the "Tonight Show" host might be getting out of control. Sources say that NBC executives are starting to get worried and they even had to intervene, warning Fallon to cut back on the alcohol. "There were fears that Fallon was out of control and something could happen while he's out drinking,"
Furthermore, according to an anonymous source, his alleged addiction is rumored to have affected even his family life, threatening his relationship with his wife: "Things got so serious at one stage that execs feared that Jimmy was splitting up with his wife over his drinking, but they patched things up."
Another source close to Fallon added: "He is a heavy drinker. He sees himself as somebody who needs image rehabilitation."
It seems that not everyone is out to get him as a friend came to Fallon's defense by saying that the former SNL star is putting a lot of effort in turning his life around for the sake of his children, "He knows he needs to be responsible. He has two kids. He has cut back on his drinking."
On the other hand, other sources insist that Jimmy Fallon is not as responsible as believed. They claim that his wife is very disappointed and upset with the comedian and feels overwhelmed enough taking care of their two young daughters to worry about Jimmy's state as well
"They have two daughters Winnie, 3, and Frances, 1; Nancy works, and she doesn't have time to babysit Jimmy, too." said the inside source.
We know that, last year, Fallon have been in danger because of two injuries supposedly caused by alcohol consumption in the span of only four months but the host himself did not associate the accidents to drinking.
Is Jimmy Fallon's alleged drinking problem real or is it just unfounded rumors?
