I've been a single mom pretty much since I became a mom. It's not the path I chose, but it is what it is. Therefore, I don't always have money for things that I want, or even NEED. Like taking care of my own teeth. My kids, on the other hand, go to the doctor's for physicals, shots, when they're sick, etc., and they get their teeth cleaned every six months.
Me? Not so much. Unfortunately, I haven't been to the dentist regularly since I moved out of my parent's house at 16. I've gone a few times, of course, but I just can't afford it. This has adversely effected my teeth.
My parents always took us to the dentist. As a matter of fact, our dentist was their friend and we got together as families often. Even one of my friend's moms was my dental hygienist. I barely had cavities, and I took great pride in that. My brothers and I would make fun of each other when one of us (or two) had a cavity.
My teeth were almost perfect. I could probably only count on one hand the amount of times I had a cavity as a child. I was also lucky to have virtually straight teeth and I didn't need braces.
After years of neglect, and I don't mean not brushing, because I do, I now have tons of work that needs to be done to my teeth. Sad part is that I brush daily, two times a day; I use Listerine or another mouth rinse; I floss. But without the regular care from a dentist, my teeth are in desperate need of some help. I also smoke, and have for 17 years, and that doesn't help the situation.
For the past week and a half I've had a toothache. I kept nursing my pain with Advil, because I don't have any money to see a dentist. Yesterday I broke down and finally called my dentist. I figured I was in such pain for so long because I had an infection. My gum on the bottom right side of my mouth was swollen a little bit, and that was where the pain was generated from.
While I was at work yesterday, I hunted down my dentist's number (I've only seen him once before.) and I made an appointment. I was informed that the only appointment they had available (without waiting a couple of weeks or longer) was at 5:40 pm that day. I said I'd take it, then I thought, "Football practice", but I made the appointment anyway, knowing that since I've recently became friends with three of the women who's kids are on the team (2 are also wives of 2 of the coaches), I figured I could ask one of them to meet up with me so they could take my son to practice with them.
I contacted two of them, one was unable to because she has older children with other activities, but the other woman offered to help me out. We set up the time and the place and I was glad that my plan worked out. If it had not, my son would have had to skip the practice because I usually leave the house to take him there at 5:20 (no later than 5:30) for the six o'clock practice. I didn't want him to miss. It's pretty important for all of the team members to be at practice every day. Of course, football practice and the dentist are in opposite directions, with our house pretty much in between.
I left pretty early to go meet up with Connie, and we got there so early I knew we would be waiting for about 15 minutes. So my son, daughter, and I killed time by listening to music and chatting. Connie showed up at about 5:20, and by then I was stressing a little bit. Traffic at that time is pretty crazy, and where I met her is a crazy intersection. I knew I wouldn't be able to get into the lane where I actually needed to be in (to go by my house and over to the dentist's office), but I managed to get out into the left turn lane so I could take back roads to my appointment.
I finally arrived at my destination, 4 minutes late, but luckily there was no problem. I used the ladies room and when I came out, my hygienist was already there waiting for me.
I got my Xray on the side of my mouth that was hurting, then the dentist came in and told me there was three problems on that side of my mouth: I had two cavities that needed filling and my wisdom tooth needed to be pulled. She said that she couldn't tell which one was causing the problem and that it would probably be best to do what I could right then and there. I was given a quote (which was actually a GREAT price!) and after a few minutes of thought, I told her to go ahead and do it all.
First she did the fillings, which were kind of a pain, but not really. I was numb anyway, but they took longer than I remember, which makes sense. Then came time to pull the tooth. The numbness was starting to wear off by then, so she gave me another shot and gave me a few minutes for that to kick in.
I now have a Treatment plan, which I honestly didn't even look at, but I'm sure it includes Quad Cleaning (yay! what fun!), extracting all 3 other wisdom teeth, and a root canal.
But, before I commit to any of that (besides the root canal - that needs to be done as soon as I can afford it!) I plan on entering this contest: My Smile Bites! $30,000 Smile Makeover Contest presented by 1-800-DENTIST. Soon I'll be recording my video entry. I like my smile, but my teeth are discolored from smoking, coffee, tea, and age. I'll be so happy to get all of this work done, and more so if it's FREE!!!!
Thanks for listening to my LONG story... Now I'm off to bed!
That is just an aweful story! I guess it is good that you got it taken care of so quickly though.
I hope you are feeling better today! I too had to get a ton of work done this year because I hadn't been in for about 10 years, bad me!
Aww I feel your pain honey. I was in the same boat and just got a cavity so went o the dentist and he pulled 2 teeth. There's much more that needs to be done too.

The khaki remaking of Naomi Robson
Was Naomi Robson's report from Australia Zoo last night another attempt to remake the Today Tonight host in the wake of the savaging she copped a month ago?
Last night Naomi Robson hosted Today Tonight from Australia Zoo, decked out in Irwin inspired khakis with a live lizard on her shoulder. So was this another attempt to rebuild Robson's credibility after the savaging she copped in The Australian a month ago?
In what looked like the battle of Beaconsfield all over, the 6.30pm current affairs programs on Seven and Nine relocated to Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo in south-east Queensland for their tributes to Irwin. Robson went head to head with Grimshaw's ACA stand-in Karl Stefanovic as they out-schmaltzed each other with Irwin tributes.
Robson's last venture in on-the-spot reporting wasn't so successful — according to a feature in The Australian's media section last month, Naomi's image took a battering in Beaconsfield after rumours of diva-like behaviour floated around the press corps. The Oz dubbed her Madame Gucci, calling her "the TV host Seven doesn't want its viewers to meet." Amanda Meade's article quoted an "unnamed former publicist" and reported that the TV host's penchant for diamonds and Gucci was out of touch with her average Aussie viewers. The article also picked apart Robson's CV, highlighting her lack of journalistic credentials.
But there are rumours that the remaking of Robson could give the Channel Seven starlet the opportunity to air her new khakis again — word is she's to be sent on assignment to Papua New Guinea.
Unfortunately Robson's tribute to Irwin didn't pay off last night; for the second night in a row ACA beat TT nationally and in most centres. ACA finished with 1.493 million; TT, 1.455 million. The big rise in news and current affairs audiences seen on Monday night in the wake of Irwin's death had dissipated last night and audience levels were back to normal.

Following the feature-rich release in August, with the new version 16.11, Genode's developers took the chance to work on long-standing architectural topics, most prominently the low-level interplay between parent and child components. Besides this low-level work, the release features much improved virtual-networking capabilities. Originally introduced in the previous version, Genode's network-routing mechanism has become more versatile and easier to use. Further topics include the added support for smart cards, kernel improvements of the NOVA hypervisor, and a virtual file system for generating time-based passcodes.
The efficient interaction between user-level components is one of the most important aspects of microkernel-based systems like Genode. The design space for this interplay is huge and there is no widely accepted consensus about the "right" way. The options include message passing between independent threads, the migration of threads between address spaces, shared memory, and various flavours of asynchronous communication.
When the Genode project originally emerged from the L4 community, it was somehow preoccupied with the idea that synchronous IPC is the best way to go. After all, the sole reliance on unbuffered synchronous IPC was widely regarded as the key for L4's excellent performance. Over the years, however, the mindset of the Genode developers shifted away from this position. Whereas synchronous IPC was found to be a perfect match for some use cases, it needlessly complicated others. It turns out that any IPC mechanism is ultimately a trade-off between low latency, throughput, simplicity, and scalability. Finding a single sweet spot that fits well for all parts of an operating system seems futile. Given this realization and countless experiments, Genode's inter-component protocols were gradually shaped towards the combination of synchronous IPC where low-latency remote procedure calls are desired, asynchronous notifications, and shared memory. That said, Genode's most fundamental inter-component communication protocol – the interplay between parent and child components to establish communication sessions between clients and servers – remained unchanged since the very first version. The current release reconsiders the architectural decisions made in the early days and applies Genode's modern design principles to these low-level protocols. The release documentation contrasts the original design that was solely based on synchronous IPC with the new way. Even though the new version overcomes long-standing limitations of the original design, at the first glance, it gives the impression to be more complicated and expensive in terms of the number of context switches. Interestingly, however, the change has no measurable effect on the performance of even the most dynamic system scenarios. The apparent reason is that the parent-child interactions make up a minuscule part of the overall execution time in real-world scenarios.
Even though the architectural work mentioned above is fundamental to the Genode system as a whole, it is barely visible to users of the framework. With respect to user-visible changes, the most prominent improvement is the vastly improved infrastructure for virtual networking, which is covered in great detail in the release documentation. Further topics are the added support for using smart cards, a new VFS plugin for generating time-based passcodes, and updated versions of VirtualBox 4 and 5 running of top of NOVA. Speaking of NOVA, the release improves this kernel in several respects, in particular by adding support for asynchronous map operations. Each of the topics is covered in more depth in the release documentation.

This is really interesting, but I never see any comments on the Genode links.
Does anybody here use it for anything?
Pro-Competition
I'm not using it for anything yet, but I'd like to try an experiment with using it for a VirtualBox host. I would love to have a secure OS for that!
I will also play around a little bit with the build process, to see what's involved in that.
If I succeed in any of this, or discover anything useful, I will write it up for OSNews.

Good to see the progress Genode is making.
The asynchronous IPC will make many things easier to implement from the application developers point of view and hopefully boost the userland.
But I was hoping that this release would bring Xen as a base for Genode, as the roadmap suggested…
I only tried Genode on top on Linux so far – Xen would have made it easy for me an a lot of other people to switch to a real microkernel based scenario.
@Norman: is Xen still in the pipeline?
Norman Feske
Xen support is still planned for the near future.
Megol
IME most programmers prefer synchronous interfaces, even when they aren't suitable to the task. Overheads of emulating asynchronous over synchronous interfaces are often in the noise too (but can make some things less efficient and/or complicated).
Genode is a special case as it supports several different microkernel models and so can't be optimized for one model – compare to e.g. QNX where higher level layers can assume lower layers use synchronous IPC with optional asynchronous notifications.
Asynchronous Interfaces require a different kind of thinking. Even more if you use things like promise/future.
But I think more and more developers are getting used to these kind of things. And once you went this way, you don't want to look back.
Alfman
cybergorf,
I've been building async interfaces for a long time now and I'm applying it to more and more use cases. Unfortunately it's still kind of awkward on linux because many syscalls and libraries are only available in a synchronous format. Wrapping a synchronous function call inside of an asynchronous API requires threads and synchronization primitives that almost completely defeat the benefits of asynchronous IO.
Very frequently my code needs to do something basic like a DNS query, but the hostname resolver blocks, so if I don't want to re-implement the system libs, then I'm forced to marshal the events between a wrapper thread and the AIO thread, which adds more complexity and decreases efficiency… I don't know if Genode has this problem, but how I wish the linux kernel and userspace libs would get an overhaul to make AIO interfaces work consistently across the board.
Have a look at zeromq and nanomsg (if you not already have)
http://zeromq.org
http://nanomsg.org
While they don't seem to solve my specific problems, but they are neat never the less. I've built my own AIO library from the ground up. Linux has made some progress with AIO but regrettably is still incomplete for some pretty basic use cases like file IO. Until this gets fixed at the kernel level, user-space programs are forced to use threads rather than AIO if they can't afford to block on file operations. This is why the posix AIO implementation was forced to use threads under the hood on linux.
tidux
I didn't see any mention of the package management work, or the move towards a cross-microkernel binary format per architecture.
The departure from the original road map is mentioned in the introduction of the release documentation. In short, we prioritized the architectural work over the originally planned features. The package management in particular will considerably scale up the workloads of Genode. With the architectural improvements in place, we feel much more confident to go forward in this direction.
The cross-kernel binary compatibility of dynamically linked binaries is actually already in place (since the previous release). It just happens to be not yet prominently visible in the current work flows because most binaries are still statically linked. I am currently (quite literally) changing this: https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/2184

FORT WAYNE, Ind. -- Once again, the City Council has voted to support a study needed to bring high-speed passenger rail to the city, but this time council members backed it up with cash. The council voted unanimously Tuesday to give $200,000 toward an environmental study of a high-speed rail line between Columbus, Ohio, and Chicago, with stops at several cities in between, including Fort Wayne.


Created on Saturday, February 7, 2009.
With all this global warming, it's time I taught you a skill that very few people have mastered: how not to sweat as soon as you get out of the shower.
Now that the days are getting hotter and hotter, it's time I taught you a skill that very few people have mastered: how not to sweat as soon as you get out of the shower. I'll be discussing my favourite techniques, plus some not-so-favourite ones, and you'd be well-advised to use all of them.
Hot water left on your skin and in your hair continues to warm your body after you've finished showering.
The vapour from hot water, combined with its temperature, raises the humidity and temperature of the bathroom.
Rubbing dry with a towel causes friction, which in turn causes heat.
Your towel and clothing are probably warm, and contact with them immediately warms you.
In other words: hot water, a hot room, friction and warm clothing and towelling are the causes of after-shower sweating.
The Cool-Down method works on the 'hot water' and 'hot room' causes.
Cool-Down is done by gradually lowering the amount of hot water your shower is spraying out. You turn the hot water down just a bit, allow yourself about ten seconds to get used to the new temperature, then turn it down again and repeat as necessary. Make sure you rinse your hair in progressively cold water to make sure that no hot water is left in there to heat your head.
The third cause of after-shower sweating is the friction caused by rubbing dry with a towel. The best solution is to pat yourself dry, which creates no noticeable heat.
You only need to be sure to change your towel or hang it out to dry between showers, or else the towel won't soak up very well and you'll go back to rubbing dry like an idiot. Also, if you've been rinsing your hair with cold water like you've been told, drying your hair first will leave you with cold water on your towel, which helps.
To defeat the 'hot towel and clothes' problem you will need to bring the temperature of these items down. Spreading them out and laying them on the bathroom floor will allow heat to dissipate and be replaced by the coolness of the floor tiles. Alternatively, you can throw these items into the freezer for a few minutes, or better yet, wrap them around a tub of ice cream for a while.
The best way to defeat the 'hot room' problem is to manage the flow of air. If you have an exhaust fan above your shower, turn it on. If you have windows, open them as wide as you feel comfortable with. If you can, put an electric fan in the bathroom that you can stand in front of when drying off. Make sure the fan is away from water sources.
If you get rid of as much hot air as you can while allowing cool air to come in or keep circulating, you're already on the great road to Awesome.
Get out of the bathroom as fast as possible. The humidity of the air will not help you stay dry. Dress as little as necessary and then finish outside, in the open air or preferably in front of a cool breeze or a fan.
Bring a small washcloth dampened in cold water. Wiping your face with it is very refreshing, and if you put it on top of your head while you sit in front of a fan, it will cool down your head (and the rest of you).
Powder yourself before leaving the bathroom. Keep in mind that this won't stop you from sweating: only soak up your sweat and maybe clog your pores.
Use a bath robe instead of a towel. It makes sense because, like pat-drying, it avoids creating too much friction.
Live in an air-conditioned house. A great solution, but it will be your fault when the entire block powers out. This happened last year here in Australia when the temperature topped 45°C (113°F). Doable, but insanely expensive (though a convenient investment).
Walk around stark raving naked until you're dry. This is alright if you don't live with anyone, don't have peeping-tom neighbours, or if the person you live with thinks you're particularly good-looking and doesn't mind seeing you naked.


Months after the U.S. Postal Service announced a study that could result in cutting shifts at an Edison postal processing plant and closing another plant in Whippany, workers are still waiting for any word about the future of their jobs.
"We're just sitting, and waiting and praying," said Hank Anderson, president of the Central Jersey Postal Workers Union at the Kilmer processing facility in Edison, where a shift might be eliminated.
File photo by Veronica Slaght/For The Star-LedgerUS postal workers sort mail in the Kilmer facility in Edison.
The same goes for employees at the West Morris Processing and Distribution Center in Whippany, who have protested the possible closing of their facility since the study was announced last summer. More than 310 jobs could be affected at the two plants.
A decision on the fate of the workers was originally expected late last year, and then after the holidays. But U.S. Postal Service Spokesman George Flood said there was no timetable for a final word.
The postal service announced the studies last year to look at ways to address a steep decline in mail volume, born from the economic downturn and increased electronic communication. Mail volume in the past year has declined by nearly 26 billion pieces, about 10 percent.
"Consolidating postal operations where feasible only makes logistical business sense given the economic realities," he said.
The process in North Jersey has already begun. On Jan. 5, the postal service announced it would moving some mail operations from the main post office in Newark to a processing facility in Kearny.
Anderson said that move was disconcerting for Kilmer workers who, he said, had always expected the Whippany center to be the first to be affected.

I am still enjoying the huge flocks of geese that are grazing on our fields and the surrounding countryside. The sight and sound of them taking off all at once still takes my breath away.
December was also the month when I finally found the time to finish renovating and decorating our downstairs livingroom and the adjoining temporary entrance room. For years our home has been very Danish white on white, but this past year I've felt more and more drawn to darker colours that create a more intimate and cosy atmosphere. It took forever to scrape off 6 layers of old paint to expose the beams, but it was all worth it and I am really loving our new wallpaper from Borås.
A year ago we adopted our cat Alot (the big guy you see sleeping on a chair in one of the photos above) and a few weeks ago we adopted another cat, the 2 year old Noni. She has already found her place within our family. She loves to cuddle and since Alot is a very reserved gentleman who prefers peace and quiet, Noni has quickly become the kids' favourite. Although her and Alot are not the best of friends they tolerate eachother, which is all we could ask for at this early stage.
December has been full of beautiful clear nights with more stars than you will ever see if you live in the city. There is nothing more magical and meditative than laying on the ground and looking up at this. I am not quite sure I will ever really grasp the vastness of the sky, but maybe that's part of the magic.
I am a big fan of this darker colder season which is the best time of year for "hygge", but I am not big on Christmas. For the kids' sake, though, we did decorate the house with their own homemade deecorations and bought a small christmas tree with root (which is now planted outside in our woodland garden). As my husband left for his job in late November and won't be back home until early January, we had a traditional Danish christmas dinner before he left and gave him his gifts.
My littlebrother hosted Christmas this year in his apartment in Copenhagen, and on the drive home on the 25th the kid's were not my biggest fans, as I kept stopping the car to take pictures of the moody landscape in some of my favourite spots on the South of Fyn.
On the 27th we celebrate our Ida's 7th birthday. She didn't get any presents this year, as instead we had decided to gather the present money from our whole family to give her a room of her own as a gift. Her face, as she opened the door to the room which had been off limits for the entire month while I got it ready, was priceless. She got to pick out the wallpaper herself and only had one specific wish, a canopy bed. The canopy was the only new thing I bought, the rest are vintage furniture, either our own or found online.
Now there is nothing left to do but to turn off the computer and go check on the lamb roast in the oven and get ready for my dear friend, colleague and neighbour Maria and her family to come and have new year's dinner with us.
Happy New Year everyone. Looking forward to what 2017 has in store for us!

A unique, four-year partnership between America's soybean farmers and the Sherwin-Williams Company has received the Presidential Green Chemistry Award from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The honor recognizes the development of an innovative new paint formulation that utilizes soybean oil and recycled plastic bottles (PET) and reduces volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by 60 percent.
The EPA presented Sherwin-Williams Company of Cleveland, Ohio with one of five 2011 Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Awards during a ceremony in Washington, DC on June 20. EPA also recognized USB for its role in the development of the product.
Sherwin-Williams, with soybean checkoff funding and technical support from USB, developed water-based acrylic alkyd paints with low VOCs that can be made from soybean oil, PET and acrylics. Oil-based "alkyd" paints have high levels of VOCs that become air pollutants as the paint dries. Previous acrylic paints contained lower VOCs, but could not match the performance of alkyds. These new paints combine the performance benefits of alkyds and low VOC content of acrylics. The soybean oil helps to promote film formation, gloss, flexibility, and cure.
In 2010, Sherwin-Williams manufactured enough of these new paints to eliminate over 800,000 pounds of VOCs. The company has used 320,000 pounds of soybean oil, 250,000 pounds of PET, and eliminated 1,000 barrels of oil.
"Incorporating simple ingredients like soybean oil and recycled plastic bottles into a first of its kind powerful paint formula, provides a winning transformational combination for our customers and the environment," Chris Connor, Chairman and CEO of The Sherwin-Williams Company said.
EPA's 16th Annual Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Awards recognize pioneering chemical technologies developed by leading researchers and industrial innovators who are making significant contributions to pollution prevention in the United States. These prestigious awards recognize the design of safer and more sustainable chemicals, processes, and products that will protect Americans, particularly children, from exposure to harmful chemicals.
"EPA congratulates this year's winners for designing and developing innovative green chemistry technologies that will result in safer chemicals for use in products, homes, schools, and workplaces that also have significant environmental and economic benefits," Steve Owens, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention said.
Sherwin-Williams received the award in the Designing Greener Chemicals category.
The soybean checkoff has also supported technology development by three other companies, Cooper Power Systems, Desilube Technology, and Ashland Performance, that submitted entries for the 2011 awards. For more information on the awards visit, the EPA website.
Soy is one of the leading ingredients in biobased products, ranging from cleaning products to toner for copiers and printers, to lubricants, solvents, carpet backing and many others. USB's web site —www.soybiobased.org – offers detailed information about soy-based products.
U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon Features Biobased Products. – University and college teams have traveled across the nation to compete in the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Solar Decathlon on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. At least four are using products made from soybeans to boost their chances in the contest of cutting-edge energy efficiency and renewable energy innovation for homes.

Manufacturers Meet In Sepang And Decide - Not Much
Submitted by Kropotkin on Wed, 2009-02-04 15:54
For ten long hours, in a hotel in Sepang, representatives from Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and Ducati discussed a range of proposals to cut costs in MotoGP. And at the end of those ten long hours, they emerged with, well, very little indeed, according to GPOne.com.
Subject of the talks were the proposals which have been aired over the past couple of weeks, mostly aimed at reducing the amount of mileage that is put on the bikes in testing and practice. But the results of those almost endless talks were very little. The only agreed proposal to emerge was that in future, all members of the team would fly economy class, rather than first or business class, although that already produced rumblings of disapproval from the old hands in the paddock such as Jeremy Burgess, who don't take the travelling well.
As for the other proposals, it seems likely that practice sessions on race weekends will be cut from one hour to 45 minutes, and the Sunday morning warmup will be cut from 25 to 10 minutes in length. The fate of the Friday practice sessions still hangs in the balance, with some talk of scrapping Friday altogether. But the proposals to ban testing on the Mondays after races caused the most problems. Suzuki, with only two riders, is keen to keep the tests, as they don't have the benefit of the extra data gathered by the four or more bikes which their competitors field.
The most bizarre proposal of all was to ban the team riders from testing on Monday, and allow only test riders. Just how this would save money is a bit of a mystery, as the mileage on the bikes would be only marginally reduced, while the test riders would have to be flown to all of the post-race tests, instead of leaving the team riders to do the testing for them.
Little came out of the manufacturer's meeting, and that is unlikely to change tomorrow, when the IRTA joins the talks. The outcome - if there is one - will go forward to a meeting of the Grand Prix Commission due to meet in mid-February, where Dorna and the FIM will join IRTA and the MSMA. If any changes are to be made at all, this is where the real business will be done.

Chicago may be known for its steakhouses, but St. Louis loves its beef.
The newcomer to the scene offers a wide ranging Brazilian-focused menu, but steaks get love here too. Try the tender Bavette sirloin or the lean, mean flank, served with chimi-rojo hollandaise, chimichurri, and a Oaxacan mole for dipping. All of the meat is cooked directly over wood fire, giving it that distinct flavor you can't get any other way.
When you have one of the best butcher shops in town attached to your restaurant, a chef who trained under Emeril Lagasse, and the name of your restaurant is one of the most expensive ingredients, you know you're in for a good meal. The inventive and upscale menu makes this a go-to place for the well-heeled in St. Louis society. The wine list is equally impressive.
Prime ribeye with horseradish crema.
If you're out west, Annie Gunn's is where you want to be. An award-winning wine list, seasonally fresh entrees, and some of the best meat in town make this worth the drive. The meat options change daily, but you can always assume there'll be some great classics on there. Every once in awhile, you'll see something really special come up, like a smoked ribeye with chipotle glaze.
Options change daily, but we're big fans of their aged 16 oz. New York Strip.
Housed in a beautiful turn-of-the-century Victorian in the heart of Kirkwood, this homey restaurant is known for their classic steakhouse dinner entrees and extensive wine list. The Kane family has been known for their tender meat since they opened the steakhouse in 1993. Eating here is a bit of a throwback, with apps like shrimp cocktail and onion rings. You're there for the steak, though, and that never goes out of style.
When a restaurant has been around this long, you know they have to be doing something right. What Kreis' lacks in interior design, it makes up for in cuts of perfectly prepared steak in a cozy atmosphere. There are plenty of steaks and chops on the menu, but you need their prime rib. Served with au jus and creamy horseradish, it will never let you down.
You come here for prime rib, served with au jus and creamy horseradish. You will get the king cut. You will have the meat sweats.
A meal here done right will set you back a few bucks, so we suggest making this a special occasion place (like any night you want a steak). Whether you're looking for bone-in prime rib, a lollipop veal chop, or a 24 oz. bone-in Delmonico, they've got it. They also have an entire side menu of just potato variations—we recommend the hashbrowns with aged cheddar and the Lyonnaise potatoes.
They do everything well. Go big with the 24 oz. porterhouse.
Restaurant, bar, and butcher shop, the Block serves up yummy cocktails and meaty dishes, with a few things for those who aren't meat lovers, too (but who cares about that). Their menu changes with availability, but you can rest assured knowing you're getting some beautiful pork and beef. The best part is: it's family friendly.
Whatever the butcher cut of the day is, obviously.
The classic steakhouse cuts from ribeye to filet mignon come together with inventive additions like batter-dipped lobster tail and maple syrup reduction at the relatively informal Twisted Tree Steakhouse. Salads tossed tableside and house-made cheesecakes round out the already comprehensive menu. Grab a prime steak cut and a side of onion rings.


CBS' new drama by Dana Calvo stars Janet Montgomery as a high-end attorney from a large and unpolished Jersey family.
Some shows come out flat and lifeless no matter what the actors bring to their characters. Often this is reflective of a premise that just doesn't have a lot of meat. That seems to be the problem with CBS' tepid new drama Made in Jersey, though there probably are a lot more underlying reasons.
But let's get back to that premise: Jersey-girl lawyer lacks Ivy League credentials but totally puts it in their stuck-up faces as she makes it against all odds at a tony Manhattan law firm.
Even the tagline is: "Every underdog has her day."
Oh, sure, she's got a huge family in Jersey. And they are very Jersey -- at least the TV version of what Jersey is supposed to be. Her family might be boisterous and a little unpolished, but they are there to remind her that whatever struggles she has playing with the rich kids, there's plenty of love and hugs back home. Also, if she ever gets uppity, they can ground her in a hurry.
If that sounds like something you could watch play out every week -- likely in repetitive fashion, even though the cases will change -- then Made in Jersey has your name written all over it.
But it sounds suspiciously one-note, and the pilot doesn't do anything to convince one otherwise.
The series stars British actress Janet Montgomery as Martina Garretti, the Jersey girl. She works for firm founder Donovan Stark (Kyle MacLachlan). Various and sundry hoity-toity lawyers conspire against her at the firm, but luckily she's in good with people she can relate to, like cop-turned-company investigator River Brody (Felix Solis).
Created by Dana Calvo (who was a story editor on Journeyman and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and a producer on Franklin & Bash and Covert Affairs), Made in Jersey will look to play the underdog card as heavily as the family card (Garretti is from a big Italian family in Clifton). You will always know she's tough (she worked in Trenton), but she will always battle the stigma of not coming from a rich family or even a New York family. It's the chip on her shoulder to which we're supposed to relate.
Except that Made in Jersey doesn't really tap into much emotion in the pilot. The snobs at the law firm are paper-cutout characters, her family doesn't seem dysfunctional enough to mine stories from (that could change, of course), and Garretti seems too removed to truly gain viewers' sympathy (after all, she's beautiful and a lawyer -- it's not like being from Jersey is such a crippling problem).
Most of the chatter about Made in Jersey probably will be about how accurate Montgomery's accent is (she's an excellent actress, regardless) and how many Jersey stereotypes will be mined for drama (Calvo is from New Jersey, and has said she wants to foil the stereotypes so prevalent on television -- but the pilot doesn't seem to put that desire into action).
The predictability is out in force on this series, and despite CBS' ability to make a hit out of pretty much anything it films, this one doesn't really stand up and make a case for itself.

Ferrari 550 Maranello

550 Maranello originally Dutch
-They've invented the snooze missile. Something that is both easy and hard to drive, sounds like every petrol fuelled dream and drives smooth and refined. – The Ferrari 550 Maranello.
In 1996, the Ferrari 550 Maranello was presented to the public for the first time. It was a car that held many things in high esteem but also stopped short of pretense. For example, the hamster rear seat of the 456 disappeared and made way for a luggage compartment. A true two-seater for long distances, with the temperament of an Italian who has just emerged from an espresso bar. The V12 of the 550 is actually a bit bipolar. Below, it's a wonderful car to tour and drive comfortably. However, as soon as you engage the 5.5 V12, your golf bag in the back reaches one hundred in 4.4 seconds and it pulls through to the 320 km/h. FORE!
And then about that big chrome gear stick in the middle… In the end, that's what we do it for. Every time you flick the magnificent gear stick along its aluminium guides, together with the typical 'clack-clack' sound when you change gear and hear the roar of the V12, you feel your chest hair grow. What a magnificent thoroughbred! Skip legday at the gym, the 550 will give you a nice calf workout. God, those guys in Maranello are so good at making you forget about rationality. Even among the test drivers it is well known and in 2000 and 2001 it became the Engine of the Year (4.0l +).
A total of 3,083 units were born. What about us? Of course we have one of those 3,000, but ours is a little extra tasty. Ours is Swatters Blu. Just as Pozzi in France received its own (also dark blue, but uni) colour, Jacques Swatters received its own dark blue metallic colour as the main importer for Belgium. That, with dark red leather interior, dealer maintained and fully documented.
"The Ferrari is a dream. People dream of owning this special vehicle and for most, it will remain a dream apart from those lucky few." – Enzo Ferrari.

Alternatively, the long grassy slopes referred to under Ferrier Peak give access to snow slopes below Ferrier and Bernard Peaks which can be crossed to the snowfields above the Blue Duck Glacier. This in turn leads to a steep ice slope which can be followed back to the main ridge and thence to the summit.

Could your pet bring you luck? Why yes, your pet can! There are so many superstitions associated with the animals we know and love that sometimes, it seems it depends on which culture you decide to reference in your search for good juju. Putting that aside, here are some popular pets and an overview of the beliefs that reveal how they can attract luck for you.
1. Goldfish. If you get along swimmingly well with good luck, you might just want to get one of these for your fishbowl. Goldfish are one of the eight sacred symbols of Buddha, representing fertility, abundance, and harmony. Ancient Greeks believed that goldfish brought good luck to their marriages, while Egyptians brought these pets into their homes to add a touch of positivity to domestic life. To bring prosperity into the home, feng shui experts recommend having 8 regular goldfish and a single black one to block bad luck.
2. Frogs. Yes, they may be slimy, but they have long been considered good luck symbols by many cultures that depend on rain for bountiful harvests. For these agricultural civilizations, a frog can be a sign of good weather for planting and harvesting. These amphibians are seen as a symbol of fertility, transformation, and safe travel. This is why many Chinese shops have frog charms situated at the areas where they ring up their sales.
3. Rabbits. Forget about the lucky rabbit's paw―it's cruel and may actually bring you bad luck! Instead, why not take care of a real live bunny? Rabbits have long been associated with strong fertility. Ancient Saxons looked forward to seeing their first rabbit after a long winter, because they believed that spotting a rabbit was a message of the lush and hopeful spring to come.
4. Turtles. These creatures have earned a bad reputation because they are said to symbolize slow progress; however, they are considered lucky in Chinese beliefs because of their longevity. There, they are linked to hope and represent the wish for a long life. With their protective shells and charming demeanor, they are often considered symbols of tranquility. Cultures such as those of the Native Americans depict the turtle as carrying the world on its back or supporting the heavens.
5. Arowana. This fish is known for its power in feng shui. It symbolizes good health, prosperity, happiness, wealth, and power. Practitioners believe that that keeping arowana fish drives away evil spirits and bad omens. The fish is said to bring positive energy in the form of wealth and ample opportunities to excel. They advise that best place to keep this fish is in the north, east, or southeast area of your property; this will enhance the fish's power to attract wealth and good opportunities for advancement.
6. Flowerhorn fish. This is another fish that is said to bring good luck to a household. It is believed to draw good energy from the environment while diminishing negativity from your house. This colorful pet is prized as it is said to bring extreme luck and love to its owner. The black spots are indications of prosperity and wealth. Feng shui experts advise placing its aquarium in the southeast corner of a room to bring wealth. If placed in the east, it is said to bring family harmony and well-being.
7. Dragon fish. If you have a student in the house, this fish will make an ideal pet. The gold-colored carp is known for its ability to swim against strong currents, therefore symbolizing perseverance and achievements. It can also bring career success to those climbing the corporate ladder. Feng shui advice is to keep 9 of these fish in an aquarium or pond located in the north area of the house to bring forth desired achievements and success.
8. Cats. Consider the Maneki-Neko, that ubiquitous beckoning cat that can be found at the front of many East Asian shops, particularly in Japan and China. These are said to welcome not only customers but also good fortune into the store. There are many folktales to explain why these little figurines came about but all of them have one thing in common – the belief that cats bring good luck. Some civilizations even go farther by placing higher value on colors of the cat's fur. In Russia, blue cats were often thought lucky while the Japanese and British prefer calicos and tortoiseshells (threecolored cats) as their lucky picks. Black cats are thought to be bad omens in the US, but are considered lucky in Britain, where proverb even says, 'Whenever the cat of the house is black, the lasses of lovers will have no lack.' In the south of France, black cats are called 'matagots' or magicians, and owners who feed them well and take care of them receive good luck. 9. Crickets. Aside from mouthy Mushu, Mulan had a lucky companion in the form of Cri-kee, her cricket. Chinese and Japanese beliefs in this little chirper hold it in high esteem as a good luck charm in the house. For them, crickets symbolize wisdom and prosperity. Farmers in these countries start planting season as soon as they hear its chirping. Native Americans also believe that crickets represent joy, intuition, and power of belief. A cricket's ability to jump is said to offer the power to leap over a difficult situation. Besides, Jiminy can also make a good friend – and official conscience.
10. Dogs. Of course, man's best friend has to be on this list. The dog has long been considered a liaison between the physical and non-physical dimensions. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and Celts have all prescribed the dog as a sacred guardian of the Otherworlds. For the Celts, dogs are also a representation of heroism. They are said to embody attributes such as courage, persistence, and virility. For the Chinese, dogs are a symbol of friendship, good luck, loyalty, obedience, and prosperity. There is a belief that letting stray dogs into your house is said to bring good fortune – maybe this will also be a good way to encourage adoption from animal shelters as a means of inviting good luck into your home.

Q: View Debug Messages in VS2010 I am trying to debug an application in VS. In my code, I am trying to write to the debugger.
Code:
For value As Integer = 0 To 5
    Debug.WriteLine(Value)
Next

Where does it output during runtime? I have my Output Window open, but I don't see anything.
I am using Visual Studio 2010 Professional

A: The debug messages will be shown in the Immediate Window (among a few others). It can be opened by pressing the keyboard combination CTRL + ALT + I, or by the menu option Debug > Windows > Immediate Window.
Apart from your own debug messages, the Immediate Window displays a message when an exception is thrown, and can also be used to call methods or evaluate expressions at run-time. I've covered the latter in a previous answer of mine.

The unifying theme through a lot of the artwork going up at Cowgate Underpass is water. We played with the idea that the surrounding area was reclaimed from the sea and quite possibly, due to climate change, may return there. The underpass patterns are reminiscent of fish scales, albeit very colourful fish!
Jason has been out painting again, along with Stu from Blok Collective! This weeks character painting is queen Boudica and the Ninth Legion! Although only the outlines of said queen and legion are visible at the moment. Here's one and a half days worth of progression for you to feast your eyes on.
The Massacre of the Ninth Legion took place during the revolt against Roman rule in Britain launched by Boudica, queen of the Iceni of Norfolk. Approximately 80% of the Roman soldiers were killed in the battle. It is believed that the Ninth Legion were based at Longthorpe Tower, Peterborough from about 66AD.


The style and depth of a vintage port without the price tag. Crusted port emulates the style and quality of a vintage port, with powerful aromas and complex, intense notes of plum, raisins, spice and hints of eucalyptus notes over ripe berry fruit. You'll need to decant this, as it's unfiltered and forms a sediment in the bottle.
Butler, Nephew & Cº. was founded in Oporto in 1730. The company's traditional crusted port mimics the style and quality of a vintage port, with powerful aromas and complex, intense notes of plum, raisins, spice and hints of eucalyptus notes over ripe berry fruit.
Unlike Vintage Port, which has to be made from grapes from a single harvest, Crusted Port gives the company port blender the opportunity to use the best quality characteristics of different vintages.
Crusted Port is bottled unfiltered, and as the name indicates it will form a "crust", a sediment in the bottle. Decant this unfiltered, multi-vintage bargain just like a vintage, and savour its finesse along with its moreish price—all the more tasty considering this wine was bottled in 2004.
