There is much more to a healthy, beautiful smile than oral hygiene and routine, quality dental care.
Yes, those are an incredibly important part of protecting your oral health.
But when it comes to prevention, you need to go a step further by maintaining a healthy daily diet.
Our team at Bayou Dental Group in Monroe, LA wants to make sure you always have the tools to take great care of your teeth and gums.
That's why today, we're paying particular attention to a surprising way you can prevent tooth decay and other problems that threaten your oral health.
It's fiber, and you're about to discover why it's a great source of nutrients for your mouth and your body.
What Fiber Can Do For Your Smile!
You've probably heard about the high fiber in green, leafy vegetables and other foods and what it can do for your health, but you may be surprised to learn what fiber can actually do for your smile!
The immediate benefit of eating many of the nuts and vegetables that contain a lot of fiber is that they involve extra effort in crunching and chewing. This is great for your teeth and gums because the chewing will generate plenty of saliva production inside your mouth.
What that means is you get the bacteria-fighting compounds from the saliva, as well as a protective barrier to shield your teeth and gums from bad bacteria.
So the consequential benefit from all that saliva is the prevention of tooth decay and other dental problems!
More Reasons To Smile About Fiber!
The benefits of fiber go far beyond protecting your teeth and gums. Getting enough fiber in your daily diet can actually promote healthy systemic function all throughout your body!
So how can you add more fiber to your diet?
First, it helps to understand the two classifications of fiber: soluble and insoluble.
Soluble fiber will break down in water and materialize into a gel that's responsible for the sugar and cholesterol stabilization in your body. You can incorporate soluble fiber into your diet by eating more apples, citrus, oats, peas, and carrots.
Insoluble fiber is the type that promotes better gut health and regularity. You'll find insoluble fiber in foods like nuts, potatoes, green beans, and cauliflower.
Eating your fiber is more advantageous for your smile and overall health than receiving it via supplements, but that doesn't mean supplements are bad. It's just that all supplements are different, so you would want to check the labels for ingredients that will make this ingestion counterproductive, like added sugar.
The point is that you know what fiber can do for your body and your teeth and are aware of how to get as much of it from your food as you can each and everyday.
In regard to your oral health, a balanced, nutritious diet is a key component of prevention.
Regular dental cleanings and exams are another important part of protecting your mouth from tooth decay and the negative effects that can follow. Only a trained professional has what it takes to remove plaque and tartar buildup that threaten your teeth and gums from harmful bacteria.
Let Dr. Finley and our team at Bayou Dental Group be your trusted source for quality care, early detection, and effective dental treatment to protect your smile!

This Community Thanksgiving Dinner is another in a long line of local community traditions in Katy Texas being held for the benefit of the less fortunate individuals living in the community. This year's dinner is being held on Thursday November 24, 2016 or Thanksgiving Day at the First Baptist Church which is located at 600 Pin Oak Road in Katy. The dinner will start at 11AM and last until 1 PM. I am posting this information as a surprising number of folks who might want to donate time and or money plus folks who need a good meal never hear about this great local event.
Last year's dinner served over 1,200 hungry folks and it is expected that number will grow once again this year as it has each year in the past. Attendees will also receive donations, blankets, slightly used coats and non-perishable food items.
This annual event began about 13 years ago and became a significant local event about 5-6 years ago. It began at Antioch Baptist Church in Katy. This year there are several different churches all involved in running this important event along with contributions from local merchants.
The organizers ask all folks in the community to inform them of any family or individual that they know of that is in need of a hearty Thanksgiving meal as please have them call Rhonda at 281-384-0288 or Margaret at 281-391-9758 (habla Espanol) to place your order. The groups running this event need to know how many dinners will be served on Thanksgiving day and therefore calling for an order is required. Dinners can be eaten on site or can be picked up. Folks who cannot leave home will have dinners delivered to them. Organizers prefer for folks to eat onsite for the fellowship it brings.
Thanksgiving is a time for each individual to give God thanks for all that they have to to share with family, friends and the local community.
If you want to help these hungry people in our community contact Mark Wiley Donations Coordinator at 281-798-6299.

Rafael Nadal To Play Paris Masters In November
By Mehr Haseeb Ahmad	 On Oct 21, 2020 109 0

ISLAMABAD, October 21 (online): Rafael Nadal announced on Tuesday that he will compete in the Paris Masters next month, despite previously saying he might not play again this season. The 34-year-old won a record-extending 13th French Open title earlier this month with a one-sided final victory over world number one Novak Djokovic at Roland Garros. "It's indoor season time… this picture was earlier today practicing at @rnadalacademy," he posted on Twitter alongside a photo of him training. "And yes… getting ready for #ParisBercy."
The Paris Masters is scheduled to run from November 2-8.
Any health rules to be implemented for the event due to the coronavirus are yet to be announced.
After moving level with Roger Federer on a men's record 20 Grand Slam titles, Nadal said: "I don't know what I'm going to do after Roland Garros."
"I can't tell you if I'm going to play again or not in the next two months."

Newtonovi zakoni gibanja ili Newtonovi aksiomi su tri zakona klasične mehanike objavljena 1687. godine u djelu Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica Isaaca Newtona. Mogu se formulirati na različite načine iako imaju jednoznačni smisao. Ovdje su navedene uobičajene formulacije iz mnogih današnjih standardnih udžbenika, a ne prijevod izvornog Newtonovog teksta na latinskom.

Pojmovi "gibanje tijela", "brzina tijela" i "ubrzanje tijela" odnose se na centar masa tijela.

1. zakon (Zakon inercije):  Svako tijelo ostaje u stanju mirovanja ili jednolikog gibanja po pravcu sve dok vanjske sile ne uzrokuju promjenu tog stanja.

2. zakon (Temeljni zakon gibanja). U svakodnevnim primjenama najčešći je slučaj da se tijelu ne mijenja masa tijekom promjene brzine, što je moguće samo za brzine puno manje od brzine svjetlosti, to jest u nerelativističkoj aproksimaciji. Tada se koristi sljedeća jednostavna formulacija drugog zakona:

Ako na tijelo mase m djeluje sila F, ona mu daje ubrzanje:

Opća formulacija temeljnog zakona gibanja, bez spomenutih ograničenja, koja je bliža Newtonovom izvornom tekstu, glasi:

Brzina promjene količine gibanja tijela jednaka je sili koja djeluje na tijelo:

Za slučaj da je masa tijela konstantna, lako se vidi iz definicije količine gibanja i iz pravila deriviranja da ova opća formulacija prelazi u prethodni jednostavniji oblik:

3. zakon (Zakon akcije i reakcije): Ako jedno tijelo djeluje silom na drugo, tada i to drugo tijelo djeluje silom na ono prvo. Te dvije sile jednakog su iznosa, na istome su pravcu ali su suprotne orijentacije. Sile su međudjelovanje dvaju tijela, i zato se uvijek javljaju u paru; jednu od njih, najčešće proizvoljno, nazivamo akcijom, a drugu reakcijom.

Napomena: Bilo da sila uopće nema ili je njihov zbroj nula, prema drugom Newtonovom zakonu tijelo nema ubrzanja, pa je u stanju mirovanja ili jednolikog gibanja po pravcu. To znači da bi se moglo smatrati kako je prvi zakon zapravo sadržan u drugom zakonu kao njegov specijalni slučaj.

Ipak, zakon inercije navodi se izdvojeno iz barem dva razloga. Gledano u povijesnom kontekstu, Newton prvim zakonom naglašava Galilejeve spoznaje (za što mu je i odao priznanje) kojima se znanost toga vremena odvaja od aristotelijanskih zabluda o tome da je sila potrebna da bi se održalo gibanje. No, važniji je razlog to što zakon inercije predstavlja polazište za definiranje tzv. inercijalnih sustava (neubrzanih sustava): tek kad su referentni sustavi tako definirani, mogu se formulirati ostali aksiomi i drugi zakoni klasične fizike koji će u njima vrijediti.

Pappa's Girl
March 6, 2010 by Helena Halme 11 Comments
Perhaps it was the violence, perhaps the unpredictability of the event, to me at least, that afterwards totally coloured my life. Before then, I had been Pappa's girl, in a way that my sister wasn't. She was so difficult that Mamma always worried about her. As soon as I was born Pappa took a liking to me so it was easier for Mamma.
We lived in a tiny flat on the outskirts of Tampere, Finland. From our living room there was a view of the large cemetery with its imposing statues. A solid red brick wall sheltered the dead from the road between us, and the tree-lined rows of headstones. There was one bedroom and a kitchenette, separated from the living room by a stripy yellow and red curtain. Both the rooms had large windows. The flat occupied a corner of the house and had two aspects: one to the road and the cemetery, one to the children's play area between our block and the next. These were flats built after the war; made of solid stone, made to house the new generation. Three of them stood side by side, guarding the cemetery and the road, with young families, like us, inside.
My sister Anja was two and a half when I emerged quietly and with little pain to my mother. She'd walked two kilometres to the maternity hospital, Naistenklinikka, past the cemetery to the centre of town. Pappa and Anja were still asleep when the phone call came that another little girl had been born prematurely. There was disappointment in Pappa's voice, I was told later. He'd been desperate for a son, but when Mamma came home with me, and Pappa held me for the first time he said: 'This little girl I like! We'll call her Lisa, after Mona Lisa with the mysterious smile.' From that moment on Pappa was my hero and I could do no wrong.
Pappa was a big man with blue eyes but delicate feet and hands. Those hands could fix anything: a broken vase, a punctured bicycle tyre, a creaky door. His mouth was curved, and when he smiled his eyes had a kind look, instead of the sad one he usually wore. When times were good, he'd joke and make up stories whilst I sat on his lap, tugging his flabby earlobe between my thumb and forefinger. The softness of Pappa's earlobe made me dreamy, the silky feeling of it comforted my whole being as I rested my wispy blonde hair against his strong chest. I believe we were both happy then.
In Stockholm everything changed.

You have brought me to tears.. I used to cut my dads hair, and it is something I remember so well the way it grew and the softness of his earlobes.. I miss him so much, yet feel guilty that I don't still think of him all the time as most of my family thoughts are full of anger towards my mother.. thank you for this post you have brought him back to me for a moment xxx

Women in Pan series highlights 4 pioneers
Maria Nunes
Mark Loquan and Maria Nunes will premiere Women in Pan – a ten-part web series exploring contemporary issues in pan through the lens of five outstanding women, on Friday.
The women featured are: Yuko Asada, Dr Mia Gormandy-Benjamin, Vanessa Headley, Michelle Huggins-Watts, and Natasha Joseph.
Vanessa Headley
It is the second documentary web series under Loquan's A Better Tomorrow banner. It was while working on the first, about Kareem Brown, in late 2021, that Loquan approached Nunes to develop a second series focusing on women, with special emphasis on exploring music literacy and contemporary issues facing the art form, a media release said.
Yuko Asada
These have long been areas of interest for Loquan. One of the songs on his Passion for Pan album in 2000 was named Woman in Pan, inspired by the way pan history had always focused on the men, despite the constant and consequential presence of women.
"I was observing the increasing number of women playing, composing, arranging, conducting, teaching, making and tuning pans, and visiting from abroad to play in Trinidad and Tobago," Loquan said in the release.
Natasha Joseph
For Nunes, the instrument as well as its pantheon of female pioneers had long been dear to her heart.
Given the number of women over the decades who have contributed immeasurably to the artform, and continue to, an early challenge was determining how best to approach such a vast subject, the release said.
Michelle Huggins-Watts
"This doesn't try to tell the history of women in pan – that was beyond the scope of what we could do," explains Nunes in the release. "So Mark decided on five women he's worked with on various projects over the last 20 years.
"In my mind, these were highly-accomplished women with their individual skills, experiences and insights, but who, as a holistic group, would be able to discuss a wide range of issues that they would have all faced individually or collectively."
By March this year, everything was in place to do in-depth, wide-ranging interviews with all five women. Asada – who is Japanese-American and based at Northern Illinois University – flew in from the US for a few days to film.
Dr Mia Gormandy-Benjamin
"I reached out to Attillah Springer and Caroline Taylor to work with me on developing ideas for the best way to approach the project," Nunes says.
With Springer leading the interviews and Taylor as associate producer, Nunes took on the lion's share of the work to conceptualise and execute each stage of the project,serving as one of its executive producers (along with Loquan), as well as director, camera operator and editor.
Mark Loquan
With careful attention to making the series visually appealing and a rich representation of the women's lives in pan, the interviews were shot with four cameras, and are complemented by archival video, audio and photos from a range of sources – including the women's own personal archives and Nunes' vault of material captured over the years. The final product is ten episodes totalling nearly 400 minutes.
The series kicks off with five thematic episodes ranging from seven-18 minutes long, followed by in-depth interviews with each of the women and averaging 60 minutes each.
The first of the issue-driven episodes — We Love a Challenge: Gender Issues in Steelpan – is followed by weekly episodes exploring the art and science of pan building and tuning; music literacy; leadership; and perspectives on Panorama.
The second half of the series, featuring the interviews, begins on October 14 with Headley's interview, followed by Gormandy-Benjamin; Asada; Joseph; and Huggins-Watts concluding the series on November 11.
"It's been an extremely rewarding journey to work on this project – it's stretched me to further expand my horizons in the realm of producing video content," says Nunes. "I feel a real responsibility to present their stories and perspectives in ways that they will feel very good about. There is equally that sense of responsibility to present a series that will hopefully have enduring value and also inspire other producers to create more steelpan-related content."
Loquan said, "The goal for A Better Tomorrow is to shine light on people's journeys in the pan world, showing that the people we see are a culmination of challenges overcome, experience gained, and knowledge being transferred to benefit or inspire others. The Women in Pan series does just that."
Women in Pan begins at 7 pm on the Mark Loquan Music YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/MarkLoquanMusic), with new episodes premiering each Friday until November 11.

Do you have a bread machine, but no manual, because you bought it at a yard sale, inherited it from a relative, or just lost the manual? Instead of storing it in a cabinet and adding to your "I'll use it someday..." clutter, get started making your very own fresh, toasty, delicious bread! See Step 1 below to get started.
Get to know your machine. Take some time to inspect it. There is a hinged lid, which can be lifted and shut; there may be a window in it, and probably a small vent too. Next to the lid, you should see a control panel with a few buttons (and maybe a light or two if you have a fancy version). Inside the bread machine, there is a bread pan or bucket. There should be a handle on it, which is probably folded down so the lid will close. The bread bucket works as both the mixing bowl and the baking pan. In the center of the bread bucket will be a little bread paddle or kneading blade. It is responsible for kneading and mixing the dough. When the dough bakes, it bakes around the kneading blade. You must remove the blade from the bottom of the loaf after the bread is baked.
You must have all three parts to make bread. The machine itself, the bread bucket, and the kneading blade. If any one of these parts is missing, you must replace it. The kneading blade is the smallest part and the one most likely to be missing. It is also the least expensive to replace. If you need replacement parts then do an Internet search to find the manufacturer of your machine. Go to their website and email them about what you need.
The bread bucket and kneading blade are removable. To take the bread bucket out, your machine may require you to pull hard, depending on how it snaps in. Look it over, grab the handle, and pull. Don't worry; you are not breaking it. After you get the bread pan out, examine it. If you turn it upside down, the kneading blade will fall out. There will be a peg inside the bread pan the kneading blade fits over. To put the bread bucket back into the machine and snap it into place, you may have to shove down hard. Yours may go in easily or you may have to turn the gear under the bread bucket just slightly to get it to fit into the machine the right way.
Find out your bread bucket capacity. Take the bread bucket out set it next to the sink. Get a measuring cup and fill it with water. Pour the water into the bread bucket. Do it repeatedly, until the bucket is full. Count how many cups of water you are adding to the bucket, until you get a total. This part is important, so measure carefully. When you choose a recipe, it is important that you match it up to the size of the bread bucket you have. You would not want to make a 2 lb recipe in a 1 lb machine. It would result in a big mess.
If your bread bucket holds 10 cups of water then you can make 1-1/2 pound loaves of bread.
If your bread bucket holds 12 cups or more than you can make 2 pound loaves of bread.
If your bucket holds less than 10 cups then you can make 1 pound loaves of bread.
Become familiar with the settings. Have a good look at the buttons and display screen on the control panel. You will probably find a Select button, a Stop/Start button, Crust Color and Timer or Arrow buttons. Unplug your machine. Plug it back in. The machine will be on its Basic (or default) setting now.
Close to the select button you will see several choices. The most common ones are White or Basic; Whole Wheat; French; Sweet; Rapid, & Dough. To set the machine to a particular cycle you have to keep pressing the Select button until it gets to the cycle you want. Sometimes a number identifies each cycle. For instance, White or Basic is usually 1. Whole Wheat is 2. French is 3; and so on; you get the idea. Each cycle takes a different amount of time to mix and cook the bread.
The crust setting is not available on all machines. If you do see a button labeled Crust then it will have 3 settings available: Light, Medium & Dark. The default setting is medium. When you unplug the machine and then plug it back in, it will automatically set itself to the medium setting. If you prefer a light or dark crust instead, then you press the Crust button to change the setting. Usually the Crust button will not work until after you select the dough cycle and before you press Start.
Using the timer is described in a separate section, below.
Get your ingredients. There are a few basic ingredients you need to make bread in a bread machine. They are yeast, flour, salt, sugar, liquids and fats.
Yeast used in a bread machine should always be labeled "Active Dry" on the label. Sometimes you can buy yeast in a jar that says it is specifically for bread machines. Packets of yeast, available in the baking aisle of the grocery store, usually hold 2-1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast. You may use one packet of yeast to replace 2 teaspoons of yeast in most bread machine recipes. The extra 1/4 teaspoon of yeast won't make that much difference. Don't use rapid rise yeast. It's not worth the extra cost, and the time savings is negligible once you get the hand of making bread.
Bread flour makes better bread. Bread flour is made from hard wheat so it has more gluten, or wheat protein, in it than regular all-purpose flour. All-purpose flour is a blend of hard and soft wheat. This makes it serviceable for biscuits, cakes and quick breads, which prefer soft wheat flour; and serviceable for yeast bread, which prefers hard wheat flour. It is called all-purpose flour because it is designed to be used for all baking purposes. Bread flour is made for yeast bread. If you do not have bread flour then you may use all-purpose flour for most bread recipes. Your results will not be the same as if you had used bread flour, but you will still have good results, and you will still get good bread. Sometimes you will need to add a tiny bit more flour to your dough if you use all-purpose flour. This is not always true but it is sometimes.
Salt is a necessary ingredient in machine made bread. It regulates the rising process so the bread dough does not spill over the bread bucket into the machine. Salt also adds flavor to the bread. Bread made without salt does not taste as good as bread made with some salt.
Sugar, honey and other sweeteners soften the texture of the dough and the finished loaf. They also contribute to the browning of the bread and the crispness of the crust. The main role they play, though, is as easy-to-use-food for the yeast. Yeast can use the starch in flour for its food but it is much happier if it gets an easy to use food like sugar or honey. Most bread machine recipes call for at least a small amount of sugar. However, bread machine breads do best if they do not have too much sugar added to them. When making sweet dough from scratch it is not unusual to add a full cup of sugar to the dough. When making sweet dough in the machine,, though it is better to use 1/4 to 1/2-cup of sugar or honey at the most. This is because the dough rises faster and higher in a bread machine than it does when prepared by hand. Too much sugar is too much food for the yeast and it gets over-excited. This can result in a machine made mess that is unpleasant to clean up.
Fats make the finished loaf richer, softer, and keep the dough from sticking to the non-stick surface of the bread pan. Usually between 1 and 4-tablespoons of fat are used in a 2 lb loaf of bread machine dough. You can use most fats interchangeably in a bread machine. Margarine, oil, shortening, lard, chicken fat, bacon grease or butter will all give you the same results. Some of the fats will add a different flavor, and the texture of the bread will change slightly, depending on which type of fat you use. Solid fats do not have to be melted before adding them to the bread machine. It helps if they are at room temperature, but this is not always practical.
Add the ingredients in the right order. If you are going to mix and bake the dough right away then it does not matter which order you add the ingredients. If you want to program the machine with the Delay Cycle to start while you are away, then the order becomes important. The ingredients must be added in a way that will keep them inert until the machine begins its mixing. Therefore it is a good idea to get in the habit of adding the ingredients in this way from the beginning.
Put the liquids into the machine first.
Next add the flour. As you are adding the flour, urge it out over the top of the water so it seals the water in.
Then you can add the other dry ingredients like salt, sugar, dry milk powder and seasonings.
The last thing you should add is the yeast. Most recipes suggest that you make a shallow indentation or well in the center of the flour and sprinkle the yeast into it. This is important because it prevents the yeast from touching the liquid until the machine begins mixing. If the yeast and liquid get together before the machine is scheduled to begin, then the yeast will become active and likely make a big mess out of the machine.
Put your ingredients in the bread pan and snap the bread pan into place.
Use a recipe that you have already tested and that you trust.
Place the ingredients into the bread bucket in the correct order, as described above.
Select the cycle you prefer.
Using math, figure out how much time before you want the loaf to be finished baking.
Use the arrow buttons to adjust the time on the display screen to match the number of hours you figured out above.
Close everything up and press Start. Walk away now, and let it do its magic.
Sometimes the dough comes out very sticky. Am I adding too much or not enough of an ingredient?
Try adding more flour to your mix to firm the dough.
Can I look into my bread machine while the bread is baking?
Yes, you can to check how it looks or if the dough is rising enough.
When would you stop the bread machine if you want to finish it on the oven?
If you use the dough cycle, you will be able to take it out of the machine, form it into rolls or a loaf, let rise until double, then bake. Bake in a glass pan at 425ºF for about 24 minutes. You can use any standard bread recipes; just ignore instructions in regular recipes, except for the list of ingredients, temperature and time for baking. Be sure to put the ingredients in your machine with liquids first, flour second, then salt, then sweetener, then yeast. Remove the dough when the dough cycle is done, form it into a loaf or rolls, let rise till doubled. Bake in the oven according to recipe's instructions.
How long does bread take to bake in a bread machine?
It depends on what type of bread your making, as yeast bread is generally faster than a fruit bread. See the instructions for the recipe you are following for that particular bread.
Even when I put the setting to light, my bread turns out very dark. How do I correct this?
Keep an eye on the bread while it's in the oven. If the desired color is golden brown, remove it from the oven as soon as it gets to this color. It will probably be before the baking cycle is complete.
Can I make bread without using sugar and milk?
You can use water instead of milk, but the yeast will need the sugar to aid in the rising process.
What can I use if I have lost my measuring cup?
Look up alternative measurements for the ingredient you need to add. You can sometimes measure solids by weight if you have a food scale, and an ingredient like butter can often be measured right on the stick by the markings on the wrapper.
Is honey considered a liquid?
Since honey normally exists below its melting point, it is a supercooled liquid. At very low temperatures, honey will not freeze solid. Instead, as the temperatures become lower, the viscosity of honey increases. Like most viscous liquids, the honey will become thick and sluggish with decreasing temperature.
How does the timer work? Do you make it the time you want it to be done or how long you want it to cook?
It depends on the machine. Some have settings for both scenarios. Read through the user manual for your particular make and model or call the manufacturer's customer service number.
Can I leave out salt, and substitute honey for sugar?
Yes, as long as you don't put too much of either, because salt can be very sour, and too much honey doesn't taste good.
Can I extend baking time when using a bread machine?
Do the automatic bread makers turn themselves off?
How do I bake only if I do not have that setting?
What do I do if my breadmaker's timer won't go lower than a certain amount of time?
If you are making bread with water and you want to try something fun for a change, add a spoonful of vinegar with the liquid ingredients. You will not taste the vinegar in the finished bread but the acid in it will keep the bread fresh for a little while longer after it is baked. This old-fashioned trick still works well today.
Milk, buttermilk, and yogurt make the finished loaf of bread softer and give it a finer crumb. With milk or buttermilk, you can use warm tap water and add powdered milk or dry buttermilk with your dry ingredients. If you have any whey leftover from making cheese it makes a finely crumbed bread. It tastes good too, better than you would think. In addition, runny yogurt that did not set up right is great in breads.
To use a bread machine, start by adding all of your ingredients to the bread pan, including yeast, flour, salt, sugar, and whatever liquids and fats you'll be using. Then, snap the bread pan into place and choose a cycle, like white or whole wheat, by pressing the select button until you get to the cycle you want. Finally, close your bread machine and press the start button so it starts making your bread.
"It answered nearly all the questions I had, since my machine did not include a manual."
"I bought a bread machine at a car boot sale and found this article very helpful."
"The order to add ingredients is very important. Thank you."
"Excellent. It's a complete step-by-step with pictures."
"It explained in easy terms how to use my bread maker."
"Handy if you have never used a bread maker before."
"Very formative info, thank you."

Benedict Cumberbatch's dramatic reading of R. Kelly lyrics is awesome
By Laura Keeney
Benedict Cumberbatch, Jimmy Kimmel, R. Kelly
Benedict Cumberbatch does a dramatic reading of R. Kelly lyrics on "Jimmy Kimmel Live." (Screenshot of YouTube by Laura Keeney.)
R. Kelly has done some weird things. Some as recently as Wednesday night when, on Jimmy Kimmel Live, he wore a sequined mask and played a woman's body like a human violin. Reverb has all the details of that freak show right here.
South Park: Nicole Kidman tries to get Tom Cruise to come out of the closet. (Screenshot of South Park S09E12 by Laura Keeney)
Some of those weird things have served as inspiration for incredible triumphs, such as as the infamous "Trapped in the Closet" episode of South Park.
But this trumps all: After R. Kelly's set, Kimmel had guest Benedict Cumberbatch do a dramatic reading of R. Kelly's lyrics. Why? BECAUSE CUMBERBATCH.
Watch the video. It's worth it just to hear Cumberbatch say "I'mma hit that thing again, promise."
I think we can all agree we owe R. Kelly and Jimmy Kimmel our thanks.

It is a vast fine golden sand beach. Its active dune, more than 30 metres high and 200 metres wide, was declared a Natural Monument in 2001. It is situated on the Bolonia cove (coastal site of environmental interest) in El Estrecho Nature Reserve, and is one of the most unspoilt and less developed parts of the Cadiz coast, with a high natural value and breathtaking landscape.
Its shallow and crystal-clear waters enable us to go diving in sea beds that are bursting with life.
On the shore, a few metres from our boat, we can find the Baelo Claudia, archaeological site, declared a National Historic Monument. This Roman city was founded in the late 2nd century B.C. and was developed and consolidated thanks to trade with North Africa, with the tuna salting industry and the sauces that come from it (garum). It was plundered by Germanic and Moorish invaders until finally an earthquake destroyed it. However, it is surprisingly well preserved.
It is a unique and unforgettable experience to anchor in this place which is hard to get to, and disembark using the auxiliary boat to visit the dune and the ruins.
This type of trip is highly recommended for families with small children, who will undoubtedly enjoy the experience in a peaceful setting.

Have You Been Given Free Advice That Was Wrong?
Just because you haven't paid for professional advice doesn't mean that the person who gave it to you is relieved from liability if it was negligently given.
A recent case should serve as a warning to anyone with professional skills who offers free advice to friends and others.
It involved a couple who wished to have their garden landscaped. They asked a good friend, who is a professional designer, for advice and she recommended a contractor to carry out the earthworks. The general agreement was that when the major works were carried out their friend would provide some of her expertise on a fee-paying basis.
However, the contractor's work proved to be unsatisfactory and the couple eventually used a different contractor to complete the job without any further involvement from their friend. The cost of the works was more than double the £130,000 they had been led to expect.
The couple then sued their friend, claiming that the increased cost of the works was due to her having negligently recommended the original contractor.
It was clear to the court that there was no contract between the couple and their friend, so a claim under the law of contract failed.
However, their alternative claim, under the law of tort (damage caused to another) succeeded. The friend had a duty to protect them from economic loss and, as she had in effect caused the loss, she was liable.
The case spells out the danger of giving free advice and makes it clear that the mere absence of a contract does not mean that advice given carries no strings. The judge commented that 'in the absence of a contract it is important to exercise greater care in distinguishing between social and professional relationships'.
However, although the case has been widely portrayed as meaning that 'off-the-cuff' advice may be risky to give, it should be mentioned that the judgment stated that 'this was a significant project…approached in a professional way.

Stephen Brashear-USA TODAY Sports
Look, sometimes at work, you just don't have it in you to give it your best. Sitting here writing this recap while another beautiful Seattle summer day hums along outside the window—a day when it's actually possible to be outside, what a concept—I have to admit, it's a feeling I relate to strongly. After an exciting homestand featuring thrilling walk-off wins against the first-place Rays, with an off-day fresh in the mirror and two tantalizing on the horizon like sunlight sparkling on Puget Sound, maybe the Mariners just didn't have their best to bring today, and the result was a sleepy loss to the Rockies in a not-as-close-as-it-looks 5-2 game.
Justus Sheffield once again had a tough start today, adding to a worrying trend of poor starts. He fell behind his first two hitters, getting bailed out on yet another incredible J.P. Crawford play for the second out and setting him up for a scoreless first after Story flew out first-pitch swinging. Just inscribe the Gold Glove and send it over here, already.
J.P. is playing the best baseball of his life and nothing is going to stop him, he is what #RiseAndGrind would look like if it wasn't annoying. J.P. is just out there having fun and being excellent, and if he doesn't get an All-Star nod I'll be mad. [Letterkenny voice] Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life.
Sheffield's command problems caught up with him in the second, when again, he failed to throw a first pitch strike to four of the five batters he faced, issuing a four-pitch walk to Charlie Blackmon to start off the inning. Sheffield wasn't generally missing big, except when he was, but he was continually missing his spots, so that even borderline pitches or ones in the zone were getting ruled balls. After falling behind 3-1 to Brendan Rodgers, Sheffield dropped a 93 MPH sinker right in Rodgers' Happy Hitting Zone, which he redirected over the fence for a two-run HR. After being excellent at suppressing the longball last year, that's come back to bite Sheffield hard this season, as today became his fourth straight start allowing multiple home runs when, after getting ahead of Trevor Story 0-1 in the fourth, Sheffield hung a first-pitch slider in the middle of the plate that Story hit out of the park harder than he likely wants out of Colorado, making it 3-0 Rockies.
It wasn't all bad news for Sheffield on the day, who did have five strikeouts in his 4.1 innings. (One of those strikeouts did cost him 14 pitches, though, as Josh Fuentes fouled off good slider after good slider, seemingly catching up with Justus's tricks.) Overall, the slider seemed to be working for him again, and when he started out with a first pitch strike and controlled the at-bat, he was able to put hitters away with it, or get them to chase a pitch up in the zone. However, as Sheffield only threw eight of twenty batters faced a first-pitch strike, he didn't give himself an opportunity to get into those counts enough to be able to execute his putaway pitches. With Sheffield's lower velocity, he lives on a razor's edge with command, and when he doesn't have it—as he hasn't the past several outings—these kinds of days result.

Will Vest took over for Sheffield after Justus found himself in a one-out jam in the fifth with two on and just one out and pitched out of it admirably, striking out Story and getting Blackmon to pop out. He returned for another inning of work and again went 1-2-3, including this play which, if you were watching the broadcast, allowed you to check off the "Will Vest used to be a shortstop" box for the day:

Anthony Misiewicz also pitched a clean inning, building on a streak of better-looking outings for him, and Vinny Nittoli made his MLB debut after trudging through the minors for a decade, and the two-run homer he surrendered didn't cost the Mariners a win, so we're just going to celebrate that for now, okay.
Meanwhile, the Mariners offense did not come prepared to give it their all today. Gérman Márquez entered today with a double-digit walk rate but someone must have told him to throw it in the zone against the Mariners, because when all was said and done he'd thrown 66 of his 98 pitches for strikes.
It was looking for all the world like Márquez was going to perfecto the Mariners, or at least no-hit them, headed into the sixth with a tidy pitch count. The game even had a signature Bad Call, on a ball Shed Long was ruled to have swung on that should have eventually resulted in him taking a walk. Through four innings, while Justus was at 74 pitches (curse you Josh Fuentes), Márquez sat at a cooly palindromic 47 pitches. Reader, I will admit I felt some panic after the Mariners once again went down limply 1-2-3 in the fifth.
But Taylor Trammell says: Do not panic!
A two-out, perfecto-breaking, no-hitter-breaking solo bomb? We absolutely love to see it. Blessings upon house Trammell. It sort of looked like the Mariners were going to mount a two-out rally in the sixth, possibly knock Márquez out of the game, as J.P. Crawford (that's ALL-STAR J.P. Crawford to you, if we speak it into existence we can make it happen) singled and got to second on a wild pitch, and then...oh no, Mitch Haniger. I don't like the feeling of dread when Mitch Haniger comes up but he has been real rough lately. Like a 63 wRC+ in June kind of rough. Good Mitch, please come back. Haniger rolled over on a slider well off the plate for an easy groundout and that was that. Sigh.
Like your worst employees/students trying to cram all their work in hastily before they leave for a long weekend, the Mariners tacked on a run in garbage time against Carlos Estevez, when J.P. Crawford—who is not a bad employee, he actually works very hard, he just makes it look easy—doubled and advanced to third on defensive indifference (Mitch, again, made an out for the second out of the inning. Sad). Seager then drove J.P. home in hilarious fashion:
Seager is your wily long-tenured employee who knows all the work hacks and shortcuts and exactly the minimum amount of work required to exert maximum payoff, and we love him for that. This is why veteran leadership in the workplace is important, Mariners!!! That forced the Rockies to bring in Actual Closer Daniel Bard, who promptly walked Ty France and whose command looked pretty wonky because he wasn't expecting to come in on his off-day, but he settled and eventually got eager young employee Jake Bauers, looking to make an impression, to chase after a high fastball. No Christmas bonus for you, Jake, hope you didn't have any plans to put in a pool. The Mariners will take tomorrow off to rest and recuperate and hopefully be fresh-faced and ready to return to the office on Friday against a very good Chicago White Sox team.
