"Death Can Be Silent – The Present State of Free Speech in the U.S., Europe and Beyond"
Ahavath Torah Congregation, Boston, June 17, 2013
I am here tonight to discuss the ominous and growing threat to free speech in the Europe, the United States, and the rest of the Western world.
I've never been to a synagogue before — although I have visited many mosques! I'm humbled to stand here before you. Thank you, Rabbi, for inviting me and giving the me the opportunity to exercise my freedom of speech.
He and I have a connection: his paternal grandmother was an Austrian, and if his English weren't so good, we would be able to get by in Yiddish and German.
I've just recently learned that the audience for my talk may be larger than I had previously thought. In addition to the listeners gathered here in Stoughton, my words may be recorded by NSA and digitally stored in a huge database — all part of the struggle against "terror" and "violent extremism". Since this congregation is a non-profit organization, the IRS may also be listening in, just to make sure that what I say here is compatible with your tax-exempt status.
If my words ever happen to be passed on through the social media, the person who posts them may be subject to criminal penalties. Yes, that's why U.S. Attorney Bill Killian went to Manchester, Tennessee a couple of weeks ago: to discuss using federal civil rights laws to punish those who make critical remarks about Islam.
Such is the current sorry condition of free speech the United States of America.
If it's that bad here, what must conditions be like elsewhere? This nation used to be a beacon of liberty, the shining city on a hill that inspired the entire world — what has happened to it?
I can tell you from my own experience that Europe has slid even farther down the slippery slope to tyranny.
We, too, live under constant surveillance by our own governments.
The security services in Britain and Sweden are entitled by law to record and store all forms of electronic communications — telephone, text messaging, internet usage, and so on.
But Europe has gone beyond mere surveillance. Member states of the European Union have implemented what is commonly known as the "Framework Decision", which is a directive that requires all countries to pass laws that criminalize public incitement to "hatred" against "a group defined by reference to race, colour, religion, descent or national or ethnic origin". This directive came into force in November 2010, and is binding on all states that signed the Lisbon Treaty.
So, as you can see, we Europeans don't have any fundamental law that protects us as your First Amendment protects you. Our fundamental laws — which are created by unaccountable bureaucrats in Brussels — actually give license to the state to persecute us. We have no protection from state repression if we choose to criticize Islam.
Most countries in Europe have been gung-ho to implement the EU's diktat. So many people have been harassed, detained, arrested, prosecuted, and convicted for criticizing Islam that it would be impossible for me to mention them all. To read a full list, even if it were possible to compile one, would take several hours at least.
But let me give you a brief representative sample of Europeans who have been persecuted by their governments for their opinions on Islamization:
From Britain: Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, a.k.a. Tommy Robinson, the founder and leader of the Islam-critical English Defence League, has been tried repeatedly on various contrived charges, and convicted on some of them. Late last year he spent several months in solitary confinement before he even made his first appearance in court.
From Denmark: Lars Hedegaard, a well-known journalist and historian, was tried for describing in a private conversation the tendency for Muslim men to rape their underage female relatives. He was acquitted by a lower court. The prosecutor appealed the case to a higher court, which overturned the acquittal and fined the defendant 5,000 kroner. He appealed the decision to the Danish supreme court, which overturned the conviction again.
From Finland: Jussi Halla-aho, a journalist and local politician, was tried for giving examples in his blog of things about immigrants that were now illegal to say. He was convicted and fined, and lost his appeals to all higher courts. He also lost his position within his party, the True Finns.
From France: Philippe Val, the editor of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, was sued by a Muslim group for publishing the Danish Mohammed cartoons. He was acquitted in court.
From Germany: Michael Stürzenberger was tried for using a photo of Heinrich Himmler as an analogy with Islam. He was acquitted, but the prosecutor is appealing the verdict to a higher court.
From the Netherlands: Geert Wilders, the leader of what may now be the most popular party in the country, was put on trial not once, but twice for expressing his opinions on Islam. After a lengthy and expensive court process, he was acquitted in both cases.
From Sweden: Carl P. Herslow, a local politician, posted a campaign placard of Mohammed and his wife Aisha, with the caption: "He is 53 and she is 9: Is this the kind of wedding you want to see here?" He was charged with "incitement against an ethnic group", tried, and eventually acquitted.
From Switzerland: Avi Lipkin, a.k.a. Victor Mordecai, was tried and convicted of "inciting hatred or discrimination against a person or a group of persons on the grounds of their race, ethnic origin or religion". His "crime" was committed during a discussion about the upcoming referendum on the minaret ban, when he read verses from the Koran requiring Muslims to hate Christians and Jews. He was convicted.
That was an alphabetical list, but I left out Austria, because that case is my own.
Fascist totalitarianism has returned to my country. This time it does not come with the ring of jackboots on the cobblestones. No one's door is battered down in the middle of the night. No cattle cars haul innocent victims away to an unknown destination.
This is a soft totalitarianism. It wears a business suit, smiles, and speaks in reasonable tones in the name of tolerance and diversity.
This time its victims are the natives of Austria, who are being deliberately replaced with a violent, barbaric, alien culture.
I am one of those victims.
For a number of years I have been giving educational seminars on Islam, sponsored by the Austrian Freedom Party. They are designed to educate people about the realities of Islam.
I learned those realities first-hand: I have lived in Iran, Kuwait, and Libya. As a little girl in Tehran, I watched the beginnings of Khomeini's revolution. I was held hostage in Kuwait when Saddam Hussein invaded in 1990. And I watched people dance for joy in the streets of Tripoli on 9-11.
My experiences made me want to understand what lay behind all the ghastliness I had experienced, so I spent a lot of time researching Islam, and then began teaching others what I had learned. I told them that Islam did not respect free speech or other human rights, and was particularly brutal in its treatment of women. I explained that these characteristics derive directly from the totalitarian Islamic doctrines. In Islam, brutal repression is not a bug — it's a feature.
My seminars became more popular, drawing a larger audience. As a result they drew the attention of the Multicultural Left, which is very influential in Viennese politics.
On two separate occasions in the fall of 2009 a leftist magazine, NEWS, sent an undercover reporter to secretly tape my lecture. They then turned the tapes over to the authorities and filed a complaint against me for my "hate speech". In October 2009 I learned that I was under judicial investigation only through NEWS magazine — before I received any notice from the court.
For almost a year the investigation proceeded. Then, in October 2010, I was informed of my indictment and impending trial — once again, by reading it in NEWS, not through any official notification.
The trial began in November of that year and continued until the following February. The case eventually focused on my description of a phone conversation with my sister, in which I referred to Mohammed's sexual relationship with Aisha. My sister was appalled at the thought that I might call Mohammed a "pedophile". I said, "What else would you call a man who has a thing for little girls?"
This statement was what the court chose to highlight, along with various "hostile" remarks about Islam. However, it became obvious partway through the trial that it would not be possible to use these things to convict me under the charge that had been laid, which was "incitement to hatred".
As a result, on the second day of the trial, the judge at her own discretion added a second charge, "denigration of religious beliefs of a legally recognized religion."
When the verdict was handed down in February 2011, I was acquitted on the first charge, but convicted on the second, and fined.
It was clear that the judge was determined to find a charge under which I could be convicted. The convoluted logic for her decision was this: it was not factually correct to say that Mohammed was a pedophile, because although he had sex with a nine-year-old girl, he remained married to her until she was of age. That is, he proved that he only liked little girls part of the time, so he couldn't have been a pedophile.
I know that sounds like a passage from a dystopian fantasy by Phillip K. Dick, but it's not — it really happened, in a court of law, in the city of Vienna, the country of Austria, in the Year of Our Lord 2011.
The reality of Modern Multicultural Europe has merged with dystopian fantasy. As Humpty-Dumpty said to Alice, "When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less."
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we have stepped through the looking glass into a strange new world.
I appealed my conviction to the highest court in Austria, but lost. My final hope is the European Court of Human Rights, but that is a very lengthy and expensive process. My case is currently pending, and the final chapter of my story has yet to be written.
What I find interesting is that the story about Aisha was central in my case, just as it was with the case against Carl Herslow in Sweden. Mr. Herslow and I pointed out the same thing — that a middle-aged man should marry a little girl who plays with dolls is an abomination. We remind our fellow countrymen that this is something that all right-minded people find appalling.
Our descriptions of the issue are entirely based on the facts. There is no need to embroider the truth — it is laid out clearly in authentic hadith by the most authoritative Islamic scholars. Muslims believe that Mohammed had sex with a nine-year-old girl, and they also believe that Mohammed is the perfect man, to be emulated by all pious Muslims. This is why even today Muslim men routinely marry nine-year-old girls — and often much younger ones.
Carl Herslow and I simply felt that this story is one that the Western world should be told.
We never deviated from the truth. We never exaggerated the story or added false material to it. We told it like it was.
Yet to doing so is "denigrating the religious beliefs of a legally recognized religion" and "incitement against an ethnic group".
How can this be? How can telling the simple truth about what Islamic scripture says insult that religion?
In order to understand, we need to take a brief look at Islamic law, or sharia. In particular we need to know what Islam means by "slander". To a Muslim, the word means something entirely different than it does to you and me. We think of slander as a malicious lie told with the intent to harm another person. But that isn't what Islamic law means when it mentions the word "slander".
One of the best sources on Sunni Islamic law is an authoritative manual known as Reliance of the Traveller. In Chapter R, "Holding One's Tongue", we learn that "slander" means "to mention of your brother that which he would dislike." Further on we are told:
"In fact, talebearing is not limited to that, but rather consists of revealing anything whose disclosure is resented… The reality of talebearing lies in divulging a secret, in revealing something confidential whose disclosure is resented. A person should not speak of anything he notices about people besides that which benefits a Muslim…"
That is, if you say anything that is resented by a Muslim or does not benefit him, then you have slandered him under sharia law. It doesn't matter whether what you say is true or false, but only whether it makes Muslims look bad.
Muslims are quite aware that they look bad whenever the story of Mohammed and Aisha is told to non-Muslims. This is one of Islam's dirty little secrets that must never be told to infidels. Its telling is resented by Muslims; therefore, those who tell it have slandered Islam.
And under sharia, the penalty for slandering Islam is death. This is the justification behind those infamous signs that say "Death to those who insult the prophet of Islam".
Now we understand why my words, despite their truth, are considered slanderous by Islam. But the big question is this: Why is an Austrian court enforcing Islamic law?
Why does the court find it appropriate to apply the Islamic definition of slander in a case against an Austrian citizen?
As I mentioned earlier, the same interpretation was attempted in the case against Carl Herslow in Sweden, who fortunately escaped conviction. Similar cases are popping up all over Europe, in Australia, in Canada, and even in the United States. If you run afoul of Islamic slander, truth is no defense. The only consideration is whether what you said harms Muslims.
President Barack Hussein Obama made it clear that the same interpretation of the word "slander" is to be applied from now on in the USA when he said: "The future does not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam."
By now it has become obvious that we are in the midst of a widespread, systematic and determined attempt by our political leaders to impose the Islamic law of slander against a hitherto free people. Why is that?
From Sydney to Helsinki, from Los Angeles to Vienna, the de facto imposition of Islamic law is underway. The right of free citizens to utter not just their opinions, but the truth itself, is being denied.
Why is the same thing happening throughout the West at the same time?
The answer, in a nutshell, is this: the infiltration of the political establishment by Al-Ikhwan Al-Muslimeen, better known as the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Brotherhood has been working assiduously since the 1970s to place members of its affiliated organizations in state, federal, and local government here in the United States, and within important transnational bodies and NGOs in the European Union. They have worked patiently and carefully for forty years, keeping their eyes on the long term. It is through their efforts that "jihad" and "Islam" were removed from the lexicon of FBI training manuals. They are the ones who made the term "Islamophobia" mainstream, caused the UN and the EU to equate religion and race, and convinced the EU to designate criticism of Islam as a hate crime.
The persuasive power of "tolerance", "anti-racism", and "diversity", combined with the lure of petrodollars from the Gulf, have suborned our public officials.
We have reached the point where our elected officials, media people, and academics believe that the right of free speech does not apply to those who say bad things about Islam. Not even if those things are true.
And they even believe that this is the enlightened, liberal position to take!
Pushing back against the Muslim Brotherhood's agenda is very tough to do. It will be a long, difficult slog. Overcoming decades of indoctrination will require something close to deprogramming.
The fear of being called a racist has been drilled into the entire populace for many years by the promoters of Multiculturalism. The Muslim Brotherhood shrewdly transformed Islam into a "race" for legal purposes, thereby turning critics of Islam into "racists". As a result, the man in the street experiences an almost instinctive aversion to saying or thinking anything about Islam that is not bland, positive, and nice.
Countering this entrenched reaction requires a patient, objective program to make people aware of the facts behind the Islamic drive for expansion. This drive is inherent in Islam; it is laid out clearly in the Koran and the Hadith, and it is mandatory for all faithful Muslims. The Islamization of Europe, Canada, Australia, and the United States is a direct application of the core teachings and legal code of Islam.
The most exhaustive material on Islamic doctrine and sharia may be found in the briefings given by U.S. Army Major Stephen Coughlin. To start the ball rolling, presentations based on Major Coughlin's work might be given in places such as this congregation. You can talk to Rabbi Hausman to learn more about where to find Major Coughlin's material.
But how to publicize such presentations? That's the hard part! In general the media will not give our efforts an honest treatment. Those of us who have become prominent in this line of work have learned that fair coverage of what we do is almost unheard of.
As a result, we need to publicize our educational efforts by word-of-mouth and through the alternative media. Local news outlets are more likely to report honestly than the major national networks. Talk radio, social media, Facebook and Twitter, web forums — these are all ways to propagate useful information widely.
Yes, that means that everything you say will be also known by NSA, the CIA, the FBI, and all the other alphabet soup of federal government agencies. There's nothing we can do about that.
But what we say here tonight is still quite legal — for now, anyway. Until Bill Killian reaches his goal of removing First Amendment protections from the criticism of Islam, our right to say these things is guaranteed by the United States Constitution. I'm not so lucky — I don't have such a guarantee in Austria. Danes, Britons, Swedes, and Germans also lack that protection.
But you, as Americans, still have the privilege of the First Amendment.
The time to use that privilege is now, while you still can.
The free speech movement depends on people like you. We cannot expect our leaders or our media to preserve our freedoms — it's up to us.
I'll close with a quote from a well-known Swedish samizdat writer who writes under the pseudonym Julia Caesar. She has dedicated her life and her writings to exposing what has been done to her country without the consent of its people. In a recent essay called "We Changed Our Lives", she writes:
We knew that no human being and no political system building their existence on lies could last forever.
We knew the truth always wins.
We knew the truth can break through quickly.
We knew the truth can take a long time and sometimes breaks through with violence.
We knew the truth had been replaced with new systems of lies.
We used to think about the orchestra playing onboard the sinking Titanic. We thought that the musicians perhaps felt a little better than those who ran around on deck in a state of panic. And we had no choice, for that matter. We simply couldn't manage to watch our country going down.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have no choice. And time is short. The ship is closing in on the iceberg while the orchestra plays and dancers glide across the floor under the party lights.
It's not just Sweden that's going down, or the United States, or Austria. The entire Western world is steaming full speed ahead towards that iceberg.
Silence is not an option.
Nothing will keep me silent. I am adamant that my daughter and my daughter's daughters shall never live as Islamic chattel.
It is our responsibility — the responsibility of all of us — to do what we can now, while change is still possible.

Last fall, a number of SaintA staff got to see the film "Paper Tigers" by James Redford when the agency sponsored it at Milwaukee Film Festival. With another one of Redford's documentaries, "Resilience," making a splash at Sundance and other film festivals, it's a good time to think about how far the topics of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and trauma-sensitive schools have come in the media.
Both Sara and Adrianne have extensive experience in school settings and specialize in training schools to be trauma informed and respond to students' behaviors accordingly. Below are their takes on "Paper Tigers," how it explains ACEs and demonstrates the power of trauma sensitive schools.

This product for dogs should not be used in cats as it is not suitable for use in this species. In cats, Metacam 0.5 mg/ml oral suspension for cats should be used.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals People with known hypersensitivity to Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) should avoid contact with the veterinary medicinal product.
In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical advice immediately and show the package leaflet or the label to the physician.
4.6 Adverse reactions (frequency and seriousness)
Typical adverse reactions of NSAIDs such as loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhoea, faecal occult blood, lethargy and renal failure have occasionally been reported. In very rare cases haemorrhagic diarrhoea, haematemesis, gastrointestinal ulceration and elevated liver enzymes have been reported.
These side effects occur generally within the first treatment week and are in most cases transient and disappear following termination of the treatment but in very rare cases may be serious or fatal.
If adverse reactions occur, treatment should be discontinued and the advice of a veterinarian should be sought.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
very common (more than 1 in 10 animals displaying adverse reactions during the course of one treatment)
common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals)
uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals)
rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals)
very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals, including isolated reports).
4.7. Use during pregnancy, lactation or lay
The safety of the veterinary medicinal product has not been established during pregnancy and lactation (See section 4.3).
4.8. Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Other NSAIDs, diuretics, anticoagulants, aminoglycoside antibiotics and substances with high protein binding may compete for binding and thus lead to toxic effects. Metacam must not be administered in conjunction with other NSAIDs or glucocorticosteroids.
Pre-treatment with anti-inflammatory substances may result in additional or increased adverse effects and accordingly a treatment-free period with such veterinary medicinal products should be observed for at least 24 hours before commencement of treatment. The treatment-free period, however, should take into account the pharmacological properties of the products used previously.
4.9. Amounts to be administered and administration route
Initial treatment is a single dose of 0.2 mg meloxicam/kg body weight on the first day. Treatment is to be continued once daily by oral administration (at 24-hour intervals) at a maintenance dose of 0.1 mg meloxicam/kg body weight.
For longer term treatment, once clinical response has been observed (after ≥ 4 days), the dose of Metacam can be adjusted to the lowest effective individual dose reflecting that the degree of pain and inflammation associated with chronic musculo-skeletal disorders may vary over time.
Particular care should be taken with regard to the accuracy of dosing.
Shake well before use. To be administered orally either mixed with food or directly into the mouth.
The suspension can be given using either the drop dispenser of the bottle (for very small breeds) or the measuring syringe provided in the package.
Dosing procedure using the drop dispenser of the bottle:
Initial dose: 4 drops /kg body weight Maintenance dose: 2 drops /kg body weight.
Dosing procedure using the measuring syringe:
The syringe fits onto the drop dispenser of the bottle and has a kg-body weight scale which corresponds to the maintenance dose. Thus for initiation of the therapy on the first day, twice the maintenance volume will be required.
Alternatively therapy may be initiated with Metacam 5 mg/ml solution for injection.
A clinical response is normally seen within 3–4 days. Treatment should be discontinued after 10 days at the latest if no clinical improvement is apparent.
Avoid introduction of contamination during use.
4.10 Overdose (symptoms, emergency procedures, antidotes), if necessary
In case of overdose symptomatic treatment should be initiated.
4.11 Withdrawal period(s)
5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF Metacam 1.5 mg/ml
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Antiinflammatory and antirheumatic products, non-steroids (oxicams). ATCvet code: QM01AC06.
5.1. Pharmacodynamic properties
Meloxicam is a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) of the oxicam class which acts by inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-exudative and antipyretic effects. It reduces leukocyte infiltration into the inflamed tissue. To a minor extent it also inhibits collagen-induced thrombocyte aggregation. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that meloxicam inhibits cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) to a greater extent than cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1).
5.2. Pharmacokinetic particulars
Meloxicam is completely absorbed following oral administration and maximal plasma concentrations are obtained after approximately 4.5 hours. When the product is used according to the recommended dosage regime, steady state concentrations of meloxicam in plasma are reached on the second day of treatment.
There is a linear relationship between the dose administered and plasma concentration observed in the therapeutic dose range. Approximately 97 % of meloxicam is bound to plasma proteins. The volume of distribution is 0.3 l/kg.
Meloxicam is predominantly found in plasma and is also a major biliary excretion product whereas urine contains only traces of the parent compound. Meloxicam is metabolised to an alcohol, an acid derivative and to several polar metabolites. All major metabolites have been shown to be pharmacologically inactive.
Meloxicam is eliminated with a half-life of 24 hours. Approximately 75 % of the administered dose is eliminated via faeces and the remainder via urine.

The United States sailed two warships close to the disputed islands in the South China Sea on Monday, a move expected to draw Beiing's ire.
In Manila, the United States has funded the Philippine Coast Guard's Outboard Motor Center of Excellence, a new maritime training facility in Balagtas, Bulacan, intended to enhance the coast guard's capacity to train its workforce and sustain its equipment.
US and Philippine officials inaugurated the P39-million new facility consisting of a classroom, a barracks, and an outboard motor maintenance lab during the unveiling ceremony on Monday.
The US Navy's operation was carried out "to challenge excessive maritime claims and preserve access to the waterways as governed by international law," Commander Clay Doss, a spokesman for the US Navy's 7th Fleet, told CNN.
Monday's operation was the second in the South China Sea reported by the US Navy this year. In January, the destroyer USS McCampbell sailedwithin 12 nautical miles of the Paracel Islands.
order," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang said at the time.
"There's been sort of a steady increase," Admiral John Richardson, the US Chief of Naval Operations, told reporters earlier this month when asked about China's militarization of the area.
"The weapons systems have been getting increasingly sophisticated so it's something we're watching very closely," he said.


Betrayed by her evil sister Ravenna (Charlize Theron), heartbroken Freya (Emily Blunt) retreats to a northern kingdom to raise an army of huntsmen as her protectors. Gifted with the ability to freeze her enemies in ice, Freya teaches her young soldiers to never fall in love.
When Eric (Chris Hemsworth) and fellow warrior Sara defy this rule, the angry queen does whatever she can to stop them. As war between the siblings escalates, Eric and Sara unite with Freya to end Ravenna's wicked reign.
"The Chairman" – The Huntsman is an illustration of what is wrong with Hollywood today, an excellently mixed trailer with a great song tying everything together beautifully…but the movie is a meteoric drop in quality and expectation. An extreme misuse of Charlize's Evil Queen, a well-rounded villain, with clear motivations and brilliantly acted. What an utter waste!
"That Nomad Shad" – Boy was I excited for this one! After trashing Kristen Stewart for the likes of Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain, this was bound to have some promise…right?! Wrong! The film is a generic copy/paste of every adventure film. It doesn't even try to be clever or unique in anyway; the film is just bland!
Oh wait, its got Jessica Chastain and Emily Blunt, that's got to count for something…IT HAS TO!!! Nope, nope, nope, nope. Both these actresses lack any semblance of enthusiasm. Ugh…it's an annoying waste of any acting talent. Did they know what they signed up for? Did they do it just for the paycheck?
"IT" – This movie is the epitome of cliche. From the beginning to the end, you can see everything coming. It's the prequel to Snow White and the Huntsman and a third installment, all in one. I wasn't expecting anything, but the mediocrity that was shown. Most disappointing is the fact that they don't overcompensate with a shirtless Chris Hemsworth. Ugh.

A: If regex is not a solid requirement (I don't recommend it here), then:
if(filter_var($ip, FILTER_VALIDATE_IP, FILTER_FLAG_IPV6)) {
  // valid
}
else {
  // invalid
}

A: Try:
$ipv6="2a01:e35:aaa4:6860:a5e7:5ba9:965e:cc93";
var_dump(filter_var($ipv6,FILTER_VALIDATE_IP, FILTER_FLAG_IPV6));

A: You can try to use Net_IPv6, with the function checkIPv6().
If you want to accept IPv4 and IPv6, try to use the function filter_var():
$valid = filter_var($ip, FILTER_VALIDATE_IP);

iOS 7 brings a fresh new look along with a ton of new features to Apple's famous range of mobile devices. In this post, we'll guide you through a bunch of options in iOS 7 that you can turn off if you don't need them in order to save battery on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
Location Services in iOS 7, or any iteration of iOS for that matter, is a real battery hog. If your main apps don't make use of this feature, you can turn it off. Head over to Settings > General > Privacy and turn off Location Services altogether, or set individual setting for each app.
Also, under the Location Services pane, scroll down to System Services and turn off Diagnostics & Usage, Location-Based iAds, Popular Near Me, Setting Time Zone, Traffic and Frequent Locations.
Siri is a core part of iOS and runs in the background all the time. If you're not using it then it's best to turn it off. Head over to Settings > General > Siri and turn it off.
Disable Bluetooth when not in use, it will save you loads of precious juice. You can disable it by heading over to Settings > Bluetooth.
Wi-Fi is a blessing, but at times we forget to turn it off when we're not near a Wi-Fi hotspot. Turn it off by heading over to Settings > Wi-Fi when not in use.
Using iPhone on 3G or 4G LTE network drains battery like anything. Those mind blowing cellular speeds are great for pretty much everything that requires cellular data, but idle usage gives a big hit to battery. Head over to Settings > Cellular and set Enable 3G/4G to off.
Every time you pull down that shiny new Notification Center in iOS 7, it uses cellular data to keep you up to date on latest weather, stocks and your daily summary. Head over to Settings > Notification Center and switch off the settings which seem irrelevant to you.
This is a killer new feature in iOS 7, but devastates battery life on the device like anything. Navigate to Settings > General > Background App Refresh and disable it. You also have the option to update your favorite apps' content in the background individually, therefore disable or enable the feature for each app wisely. It's good practice to keep as minimum apps as possible on auto refresh.
Parallax effect on the home screen or lock screen constantly keeps the motion sensors up and running on the device, which ultimately results in battery drainage. Head over to Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion and set it to on.
This uses the device's location services from time to time to adjust the device's date and time. To disable it, head over to Settings > General > Data & Time and turn off Set Automatically.
Push notifications are great and all, but they take toll on battery life. Head over to Settings > Notification Center and remove all unnecessary apps which send you push notifications. Only leave those in Notification Center which are most important to you.
Push mail is also a big culprit here, if you don't have enough incoming mails then it's best to turn push notifications for email(s) to off. Head on over to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and turn Push off. You can set it to manually retrieve mail, or set to check mail at fixed intervals. The larger the interval, the better the battery life you'll get out from your device.
iCloud features gives the luxury of keeping things in sync across multiple devices, but comes at a small cost of power. Head over to Settings > iCloud and turn off the features which you don't use.
Instead of setting the screen brightness to high manually, set the device's auto-brightness to on. You can do so by heading over to Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness and turn Auto-Brightness to on. Note: fifth-generation iPod touch does not come with the auto-brightness feature, therefore you have to adjust brightness manually. It's best to do so from Control Center, which can be accessed by swiping up from the bottom of the device's display.
iOS is really smart on its own when it comes to adjusting power, but there are some apps that when running in the background execute processes that use up cellular data to take up a fair share of battery juice. Double tap the Home button to bring up the multitasking menu and close all the apps which you don't use.
Head over to Settings > Privacy > Advertising and turn on Limit Ad Tracking.
Turn this feature off, just do it. Head over to Settings > General > About > Diagnostics & Usage and select Don't Send.
Control Center gives you a quick glance of the radios – or settings – that are enabled or disabled on the device. Simply swipe up from the bottom of the display from anywhere in iOS 7 to access Control Center and disable all the radios or features which are not in use at the given time.
Constant use of the device's accelerometer can put a small strain on battery life. Bring up Control Center, and turn on Orientation Lock, which is the icon on the far right in the top row, right next to Do Not Disturb.
By default, iOS will show you the same notification from the Messages app twice if you don't respond to it the first time. Double notification alerts mean that your device's display will turn on multiple times, which ultimately leads to battery drain. Head over to Settings > Notification Center, find Messages in the INCLUDE section, tap on Messages, scroll down and tap on Repeat Alerts and set it to Never.
If you don't use iMessage or FaceTime at all, then it's best to turn it off. Head on over to Settings > Messages and turn off iMessage, or Settings > FaceTime and disable FaceTime.
Do Not Disturb in iOS disables all sorts of incoming notifications, and spares a precious amount of power to get you through the day. Make use of it when you're at work, in a meeting, during sleep, gym etc.
Do Not Disturb can be accessed via Settings > Do Not Disturb, or via Control Center.
Keep your device's vibration alerts off whenever possible, unless you're in a noisy environment. Head over to Settings > Sounds and disable Vibrate on Ring and Vibrate on Silent both.
The monumental iOS keyboard click and device lock / unlock sounds drains the battery continuously. Turn them off by heading over to Settings > Sounds and turn off Lock Sounds and Keyboard Clicks located at the very bottom of the page.
Automatic App Store updates ship as part of iOS 7, and is a really handy feature, if you ignore the part that it constantly strains your device's battery and cellular or Wi-Fi connection to actually go for the update itself. Disable this feature by heading over to Settings > iTunes & App Store and disable Music, Apps, Books and Updates under the AUTOMATIC DOWNLOADS section.
Also turn off Use Cellular Data to prevent the App Store and iTunes Store from doing its magic while you're on a cellular network.
Keeping things disabled when not in use is good practice, and the same goes for AirDrop. Swipe up to bring Control Center, tap on AirDrop and then tap Off.
EQ settings in the Music section of the Settings app is great for the ears if you're into music, but bad for battery life for extended periods of usage. Turn it off.
Head over to Settings > iTunes & App Store and disable iTunes Match if you don't make use of the service.
It's always a good idea to disable the device's cellular data connection in bad coverage areas where the cellular network is shady, especially inside skyscrapers or shopping malls. In fact, this tip will save you a ton of battery life if executed wisely and at the right time. Go to Settings > Cellular and disable Cellular Data. Keep in mind: when cellular data is disabled, you won't have access to the Internet, which means you won't get push notifications, emails, iMessages, FaceTime calls etc.
Proper usage of Airplane Mode will spare you up to a few hours of battery life, provided that you enable it or disable it at the right time. In a plane? Enable it. At home? Disable it. Bad coverage area? Enable it.
End of the line? Seeing that 5% battery left mark on the top right hand corner? Well, if you're in no emergency then it's best you turn the device off until you find a power outlet.

As the colder nights draw in we want to spend more time indoors or at home. That can have an impact on our dating because going out to the clubs when there's rain and snow out just doesn't appeal. There are still lots of treat things you can do indoors for dating and finding love.
Why not try browsing online dating sites and chatting with new people from the comfort of your sofa in your pjs. What can sound more appealing that being toasty and warm sipping on hot coco late while still being able to chat with new people. There are some great online sites like Surrey dating site , or dating sites in Surrey and Senior dating sites . There are also lots of great apps you can try there really is something for everyone to try.
Online dating is low pressure as you can chat and get to know someone and see if you click. I do advise you meet as soon as possible so you can see if you click in real life too but you can chat on the phone or even over FaceTime first so that you don't feel like you're meeting up with a complete stranger.
So another task that needs doing in the winter is shopping. So many birthday and not to mention Christmas to pay for and with the rise of inside shopping centres right here in the UK you can stay dry and warm while shopping till you drop. Lots of people come out shopping in the winter and you may find yourself making small talk in a que with a hottie. If you do you could even rock up on your first date right there as most of these places also have cinemas and lots of fun places to go out and eat.
Hanging out with friends in fun places like this even just getting out for food once a week will open up your circle to more people. Who knows if that barman at that trendy wine bar is single or if a great band are playing in a local venue.
This time of year is also buzzing with lots of local events from parades to Christmas fares and it is a time people come out with their family. Often people who may usually spend a lot of time at work or even just at home will venture out and about and even if you don't meet a new love you may see lots of old friends or even make new ones.
Just think of Bridget Jones when she bumped into her love for the first time in a hideous Christmas jumper at a family party. So just say yes to those invites and get yourself out more and just have fun. It will be in the least expected places that you can meet new people or maybe even see that old flame that you lost touch with.
How do you find dates this winter?

Q: parameter sequence is incorrect in dynamically generated code By using Dynamic Proxy namespace, I am trying to create and consume a WCF service dynamically. I have declared a contract like below:
[OperationContract]
long GetStrings(string sinput, int n, out List<String> lstStrings);

on Client side, I am collecting information as below:
        MethodInfo getStrings = proxyType.GetMethod("GetStrings");
        Type strType = getStrings.GetParameters()[0].ParameterType;
        Type strType1 = getStrings.GetParameters()[1].ParameterType;
        Type strType2 = getStrings.GetParameters()[2].ParameterType;

The name of the types are coming as follows:
strType = "String[]&"
strType1 = "String"
strType2 = "int"

My questions are:

*

*Why the order of parameters is getting changed i.e. parameters defined as 'out' are coming before others?

*How can correct the order of parameters for the method?

*How can I make our parameter to List instead of String[]?

Thanks in advance.

A: Usage of out-parameters is not very idiomatic in WCF. You are usually better to wrap your two pieces of returned information (the long and the sequence) in a single response class.
However, if you really need out-parameters for some reason, then I believe that it is supported when the bodystyle is "wrapped" (or maybe "wrappedresponse") but not when it is the default of "bare".
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.servicemodel.web.webinvokeattribute.bodystyle(v=vs.110).aspx
I believe that suggesting that the client code will ever get a List shows a misunderstanding of how WCF and SOAP work. The client-side proxy is made by reading the WSDL generated by the service. WSDL doesn't specify C# types, it specifies XML Schema types. A sequence in XML Schema is being represented by a C# array and that's just how it is. If you need a C# List, you need to wrap the raw proxies in an adapter class of your own design.


There is always a second chance!
This time it is for those who did not get their hands on one of the mid-cut Parallel Sneakers of the PUMA x XO collection: the second drop of The Weeknd's debut collection is coming into stores today. The first drop in August was a huge success with a total sell-out of the Parallel.
The collection also features a PUMA x XO Denim Jacket with frayed details on the front and back with subtle PUMA x XO branding and the PUMA x XO Denim Pants with distressed pockets and back lower leg length.
The denim look extends to accessories with the PUMA x XO Denim Duffle and Denim Cap. Signature XO silhouettes compliment the rough and rugged pieces, from the PUMA x XO Hoodie with an all-new camo pattern to Tees and Tanks that bear the PUMA x XO logo.
Denim is not a material that PUMA typically uses, so we wanted to make sure we got it right. We did so many different trials before we found the right one.
Rounding up the capsule range is the PUMA x XO Parallel in the latest Olive Green colorway. Inspired by military and utilitarian gear, the PUMA x XO Parallel is a mid-cut sneaker boot that's fully decked out in luxurious Italian nubuck leather upper. The smooth rubber midsole features IGNITE cushioning technology. The boot boasts of a contemporary blocked heel design with an extended Formstripe and co-branded labels.
The Canadian R&B artist has been working together with PUMA for a year now.


Christina is simply amazing! I was pulling my hair out over some WordPress migration issues and she totally saved the day! She was quick to respond and explained everything clearly, and in terms that I could understand. I know who I'll be contacting next time I have an issue!


On April 17, 1952, the Community Council signed the papers to purchase the land on 1114 Richmond Street North for $9,000. On May 26, 1954, a contract for $54,277 was signed to build the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church. Then Community President Mr. George Kerhoulas, turned the sod on the site to build the new church on Sunday June 6, 1954 and the ceremony was conducted by the Community's first priest, Rev. A. Sarantides.
The first service in the church was a wedding on Sunday October 10, 1954. It was the marriage of Mr. & Mrs. Angelo Suntres. Rev. A Sarantides officiated. Actual dedication of the new Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church took place on October 16, 1955, by His Grace Bishop Ezekial. The same year the community approved its by-laws, and constitution, under which it was governed until 1967.
On October 22, 1959, the lot behind the house on 1118 Richmond Street North was bought for parking purposes. The House itself was not bought until December 4th 1969 for $23,000.
In September of 1967, the General Assembly of the Community approved to adopt the Uniform Parish Regulations of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North and South America. In March of 1968 the community adopted new by-laws. On April 9, 1968, it amended its original letters patent and changed the corporate name to Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Community of London & Vicinity.
On June 16, 1975 the Community bought the Glendale Sports Center, as it was then known, on Southdale Road for $150,000. President at the time was Mr. Anthony Demakos. This property then became the Hellenic Community Center. On March 28, 1978, under the Presidency of Mr. George Anas, a one acre property and the house (since demolished) at the front of the Hellenic Community Center was purchased for $39,000.
This was made possible with the financial assistance of the local chapter of AHEPA.
With the purchase of this additional property, the Hellenic Community Center property was squared off, with a frontage of over 300 feet and a total area of approximately twelve acres.
On February 24, 1975, under the presidency of Mr. Gary Kerhoulas, the official sod turning ceremony took place to build a new Community Center for a cost of approximately one million dollars. This new addition when attached to the old community center would more than triple its size. The official dedication took place on September 7, 1975, with His Grace Bishop Sotirios and Rev Stathis Kontorravdis officiating.
The Hellenic Community Center during 1997 and 1998, had yet another major expansion, of about one half million dollars with the addition of the East Room, and major renovations to the original structure. The president at this time was Mr. Anthony Demakos.
The time had come now to build a new Byzantine Style Church in our Community's Southdale Road Property. The ground breaking ceremony took place on September 19, 1999 under the presidency of Mr. Anthony Demakos. The old church on Richmond Street was sold in 2004 for $650,000. The construction of our new church took about three years to complete. Under the presidency of James W Giannoulis, our New Church – the Holy Trinity- was completed at a cost of about $6,000,000 and was consecrated on December 22, 2003 by His Eminence Metropolitan Archbishop Sotirios of Toronto and Rev. Elias Drossos and many area priests officiated. It is commendable that our members and our organizations fundraised and donated in the millions of dollars to complete this magnificent church. In the next two years the church basement was also completed.
The next project of our Community was the re-building of our soccer field facilities. The soccer field was upgraded with new surface, irrigation system, lights for night games, new fencing, and seating. The total cost was about $200,000. We acknowledge the receipt of a grant in the amount of $75,000 from the Ontario trillium Foundation towards this project. Building upon the success of our soccer teams and staying within the ten year plan of our Community, a new building was designed for construction near the soccer field to house new dressing rooms, a concession and a storage area and a pik-nik covered area. The building was completed at a cost of $290,000.00 during the summer of 2010.
Our Church under the strong leadership of the Board of Directors is undergoing its iconography project which started in 2010 and it has a multi year phase completion.
In 2012, the then president Mr. James Giannoulis initiated an application for funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, for the construction of a major addition to the Hellenic Community Centre. The application was successful for a grant of $500,000 which our Community had to match. This additional Community space, is home to a Greek Library, new administration offices, cultural and heritage rooms, and an enlarged lobby. The construction was completed during the 2013 and 2014 years when at a cost of $1,350,000.
Our Community is evolving constantly. It remains steadfast to servicing its members by teaching its faith, its cultural and ethnic heritage, and the Greek Language through its Greek School. It now embraces its third generation of members and it is welcoming the intermarriage spouses of other ethnic backgrounds. It is the focal point of Hellenism in London, Ontario Canada, and makes every Hellene proud.


Gudas was suspended two games by the league Wednesday for high-sticking Nikita Kucherov.
Gudas is a repeat offender, as he's already been suspended 19 games in his career, which could've added to the suspension. If the Czech-born defenseman doesn't appeal, Philippe Myers will likely draw into the lineup in his absence.

Where is Anbar Headed? Where are the Marines Headed?
12 years, 7 months ago
John Little has given us a tip to a breaking story about potential movement of the Marines out of Anbar altogether. This is major … major … news. ABC News is reporting the following (I will copy and paste at length, and then offer up [I hope] some interesting … and unique … observations):
ABC News has learned that Pentagon officials are considering a major strategic shift in Iraq, to move U.S. forces out of the dangerous Sunni-dominated al-Anbar province and join the fight to secure Baghdad.
The news comes as President Bush prepares to meet with Iraq's president to discuss the growing sectarian violence.
There are now 30,000 U.S. troops in al-Anbar, mainly Marines, braving some of the fiercest fighting in Iraq. At least 1,055 Americans have been killed in this region, making al-Anbar the deadliest province for American troops.
The region is a Sunni stronghold and the main base of operations for al Qaeda in Iraq and has been a place of increasing frustration to U.S. commanders.
In a recent intelligence assessment, top Marine in al-Anbar, Col. Peter Devlin, concluded that without a massive infusement of more troops, the battle in al-Anbar is unwinnable.
In the memo, first reported by the Washington Post, Devlin writes, "Despite the success of the December elections, nearly all government institutions from the village to provincial levels have disintegrated or have been thoroughly corrupted and infiltrated by al Qaeda in Iraq."
Faced with that situation in al-Anbar, and the desperate need to control Iraq's capital, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Peter Pace is considering turning al-Anbar over to Iraqi security forces and moving U.S. troops from there into Baghdad.
"If we are not going to do a better job doing what we are doing out [in al-Anbar], what's the point of having them out there?" said a senior military official.
Another option under consideration is to increase the overall U.S. troop level in Iraq by two to five brigades (that's about 7,000 to 18,000 troops).
Generals Casey and Abizaid, however, have both weighed in against this idea. And such an increase would only be sustainable for six to eight months. Far more likely, the official says, will be a repositioning of forces currently in Iraq. "There is a push for a change of footprint, not more combat power."
In Racoon Hunting and the Battle for Anbar, after the Marines had said that Fallujah held iconic status to them, and losing it would be like losing Iwo Jima, I asked the question, "Will we lose this hallowed soil, this soil on which so much U.S. blood has been shed?"
Perhaps. And then perhaps not. There are two possibilities that I see. Either we have ceded power to al Qaeda and asked the Iraqi security forces to take them out, or we are cordoning off the area, only to go in later to "clear" it. On October 24, I said that we would not "clear" Ramadi Fallujah-style, and at the time I had what I thought were good reasons to take this position.
I believe that there is some possibility, however remote it may seem to the reader (and to me), that we are cordoning off the Anbar Province (and in particular Ramadi), in order to prepare an assault later "Fallujah-style." More Marine patrols where they are getting sniper attacks is not adding to security. We are either getting out, or we're getting serious.
I confess, I am at a point of indecision on this, because I think the military brass may be. It might be left to the incoming SECDEF to make the decision. More force projection, or do we turn it over to the Iraqis?
The war turns on this decision.

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that is officially known as Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics. The purpose of orthodontics is to treat any type of malocclusion. When you have a malocclusion, that means your teeth, lips and/or jaws don't line up the way they should. As a result, your teeth may be crooked, your bite may not work correctly and your jaws may look unbalanced.
Most Orthodontic problems are inherited. Example problems are crowding, spacing, protrusion, extra teeth and some jaw growth problems.
Other malocclusions are acquired. In other words, they develop over time. They can be caused by thumb or finger sucking, mouth breathing, dental disease, abnormal swallowing, poor hygiene, the early loss of baby teeth, permanent teeth, accidents, poor nutrition, or some medical problems.
Orthodontic problems can affect dental and general health. If teeth are out of position, they are more difficult to clean. This increases the risk of tooth decay, gum disease and tooth loss. A bad bite can also cause stress on the chewing muscles, and in some cases causes malfunction of the jaw joints. If left untreated, many orthodontic problems worsen over time. Early diagnosis can help guide facial growth and tooth eruption, preserve space for the permanent teeth. Additionally, if treated at an early age it may reduce and prevent more serious problems from developing.
It is actually recommended that every child have an orthodontic evaluation by age 7. This does not mean that every child will need orthodontic treatment, but rather it is to assess any problems that may be developing. In many cases, early detection and treatment can reduce or eliminate what could become a more complex orthodontic problem if left untreated. Many children are monitored periodically every 3-6 months in order to watch growth and development, and some may actually end up needing no orthodontic treatment. It is always better to have your child assessed at an early age so that you are fully aware of their needs, whether now or in the future. We would be happy to speak with you today in order to schedule your child's complimentary orthodontic evaluation, or to answer any questions you may have.
What signs indicate my child is ready for an orthodontic evaluation?
What are the first steps to orthodontic treatment?
We are always excited about meeting new patients during their first visit to our office. Your initial appointment will consist of a thorough examination and a discussion of potential treatment options. This 30 minute visit will give us insights into your orthodontic needs. We may need to schedule a second exam for diagnostic records (Orthodontic records).
Orthodontic records are various studies that are made to help to diagnose the problem and to arrive at the best treatment options. These studies will include growth evaluations, facial measurements, photographs, impressions of your teeth for study models, and x-rays of head, jaws and teeth. The orthodontic records appointment lasts approximately one hour and is crucial in order to properly plan an orthodontic treatment. Dr. Kramer studies and reviews the data gathered from the orthodontic records in order to develop a personalized treatment plan.
Dr. Kramer will present the results of the records, her recommendations for treatment, and the estimated length of treatment. She will explain the risks and benefits involved with treating or not treating with orthodontics. Dr. Kramer will also answer all of your questions regarding treatment. We insist that our patients leave with a clear understanding of their specific needs, what the treatment will consist of and how long it will take. We encourage you to ask questions and we are always available to speak with you and address any concerns that you may have.
How are teeth moved into correct position?
Dr Kramer can use a variety of appliances to move the teeth. Some are removable and others are fixed onto the teeth. The choice of the appliances depends on the problem that must be corrected and on the patient's individual needs. All appliances, whether fixed or removable, put gradual, gentle pressure on the teeth and jaws, causing them to move or stabilize in a particular position.
What is a crossbite and why correct it early?
Typically the lower arch (mandible) is contained within the upper arch (maxilla). Sometimes the teeth in the lower arch will extend out beyond the teeth of the upper arch, either on one side or both or in the front (anterior) teeth. This should be corrected early to prevent the mandible from growing improperly to one side or forward. The earlier the correction the better stability as the years progress.
Why are my child's permanent teeth coming in behind the baby teeth?
Approximately 40% of lower front permanent teeth erupt behind the baby teeth that are still in the mouth. Sometimes the baby teeth need to be helped out by the dentist.
Does my child really need x-rays and why?
Cavity finding x-rays (bitewings) should be taken once a year to check for decay between the back teeth. This will allow the cavities to be detected as soon as possible to allow for the least invasive treatment possible to be done. A panorex or full mouth x-ray is taken every three years to check for missing teeth, extra teeth developing,eruption problems or any other abnormalities that may occur.
Why are my child's permanent teeth so dark compared to the baby teeth?
Permanent teeth are usually darker than primary(baby) teeth,so against the very white baby teeth they appear dark.
Why does my child need a fluoride treatment twice a year at the dentist if they take fluoride at home?
Fluoride treatments in the dental office have a much higher concentration of fluoride and therefore are highly beneficial to strengthen the teeth and help prevent decay.
Why do I have to floss my child's or my teeth?
Brushing alone cannot remove all the plaque in the mouth. Plaque between the teeth can only be completely removed by flossing. This will help prevent decay between the teeth.
Bad breath can be caused by a number of factors including decay, airway problems (tonsils, adenoids, post nasal drip, colds), gastrointestinal issues (reflux), poor oral hygiene, and bacteria on the tongue.
What do large tonsils have to do with facial growth and teeth?
If tonsils are very large all the time, the tongue cannot relax back into the throat so they set forward which can promote the forward growth of the mandible. This will affect the way the teeth and arches meet together.
Why do baby teeth need to be filled?
Baby teeth are not only needed for proper chewing but they hold the space for and help guide the permanent teeth into the proper location.
If a back tooth is extracted, why do I need a space maintainer?
A space maintainer will hold the space open for the permanent tooth that is unerupted. Without a space maintainer the surrounding teeth may drift forward or backward and block the spot that the permanent tooth needs to erupt.
Why a stainless steel crown on a baby tooth instead of a porcelain crown?
A porcelain crown is not cost efficient for a baby tooth that will be lost.
Is a pulpotomy the same as a root canal treatment?
No, with a pulpotomy, only the nerve in the crown of the tooth is removed.
What is Nitrous oxide? Is it safe? Can't we try the appointment without it first?
Nitrous oxide is a relative analgesia(medicated air) which is extremely safe and helps eliminate fear, nervousness, anxiety and helps with the gag reflex. Once a procedure is started without nitrous and a patient becomes anxious etc. especially a child, it is difficult to get the nitrous nose on and the patient will have a hard time getting themselves and their breathing under control.
What's wrong with taking a bottle to bed or having juice(or other sugary drinks) in a sippy cup at my child's reach all the time?
Taking a bottle to bed causes decay because the sugar in the milk or juice pools around the teeth as the child drinks and then falls asleep. The sugar mixes with the plaque, creating acid which eats away at the enamel. The same thing happens with a sippy cup containing juice, milk or other drinks that contain sugar.
What is wrong with fruit roll-ups? Isn't there fruit in them?
Fruit roll-ups do not have fruit in them. They are fruit flavored but are full of sugar as well as being sticky. Any sticky candy is not good for the teeth as they stay in the grooves long after they are eaten and cause decay.

Closing thoughts: SB50, 2015 season
Erik Scalavino
Now that we're officially done with the 2015 season, following last night's lackluster Super Bowl 50 conclusion, here are one writer's observations about the game, the events surrounding it, and what role the Patriots might have played in it:
New England would have won
Going into last night's game, I was among many who believed that Carolina was going to dominate Denver, much like the Seattle Seahawks did two Super Bowls ago to the Broncos in New York. What I should have considered more closely was that the Panthers were due to have a bad game, and boy, did they ever pick the wrong time to have one.
Carolina's game plan against Denver was one that, had New England been the opponent, I don't think would have been all that different. The Panthers relied less on QB Cam Newton's scrambling ability than I expected – an asset I thought he would be able to use to exploit an aggressive Denver front that got after him all night long. Instead, the Panthers chose to run a lot of delayed handoffs to their running backs, most of which weren't effective. The Patriots' rush defense, down the stretch, was coming into its own and would have been able to handle Carolina's runs as effectively as Denver did.
Through the air, meanwhile, Newton had an off night. And when he did make on-target throws, his receivers were generally unreliable. TE Greg Olsen, Newton's most dangerous weapon, was a virtual non-factor all night. Perhaps the Patriots wouldn't have gotten to Newton as much as Denver did, but I believe Jamie Collins, Dont'a Hightower, Chandler Jones, Rob Ninkovich, and Jabaal Sheard were more than capable of making life difficult for him. New England's defense would have been able to survive this weakened, mistake-prone Panthers offense, I have no doubt.
Offensively, the Patriots, despite all their injuries, would have been more than capable of putting up 24 or more points against the Carolina D. Denver's offense wasn't all that impressive, just like it wasn't in the AFC title game two weeks ago. Watching Super Bowl 50, I couldn't help but imagine what Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman might have been able to do against the Panthers' defense.
Patriots should have been there
The NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell certainly got what they wanted – a storybook ending to a milestone Super Bowl, with Peyton Manning earning his second Lombardi and, in all likelihood, riding off into the retirement sunset. And good for him. Manning seems like a nice-enough guy, and certainly deserves a pair of titles more than his less-talented younger brother.
Yet, again, I couldn't help thinking how great a story it would have been for the Patriots had Tom Brady been the QB hoisting the trophy. Brady, playing for the first time as a pro in his hometown, the last NFL city in which he's never played, earning back-to-back Super Bowl wins for the second time in his career, earning his and the team's fifth championship, as a culmination of all that frustration accrued during last offseason… As a writer, it would have been far more compelling a plot than the Manning one.
And to think how close New England came to making this happen is astonishing. Yes, the team was beset by an inordinate number of injuries to key players down the stretch, but they still had chances to secure the No. 1 playoff seed in the AFC and, thanks in part to some questionable coaching decisions, failed to get it done in the final two weeks of the regular season.
Watching how boring a Super Bowl the 50th was last night, I'm convinced that had New England been the AFC representative, the game would have been a lot more thrilling, on and off the field.
Brady's Bay-Area return
It was nice to see a pair of Patriots representing the team in Santa Clara Sunday night. QB Tom Brady, a three-time Super Bowl Most Valuable Player, and former wide receiver Deion Branch, the MVP of Super Bowl XXXIX, joined all the other living Super Bowl MVPs in an on-field celebration of the players who gave us some of the greatest individual performances in the previous half-century. Brady made the absolute right decision to attend, in spite of his ongoing legal feud with Goodell and the league.
I was troubled, though, by how many boos I heard from (I'm assuming) the mostly Bronco-biased crowd in attendance when Brady was introduced. On our radio show, PFW in Progress, last week, we wondered what kind of reception Brady might get at Levi's Stadium, and I was of the opinion that, like him or not as a player, Brady is undoubtedly one of the best, perhaps the best of all time at the QB position. Fans who attend Super Bowls, I reasoned, would be fans of their particular team, but also of the game itself, and in that regard, would pay each MVP the respect he deserves for what he accomplished on the field.
Brady proved he was the bigger man for putting his differences with Goodell aside. I just wish the vociferous fans who booed him had been big enough to put their dislike of him aside, at least for this one night.
Going gaga for Gaga
Give the league credit – every 25 years, it chooses the right person for the national anthem. Before last night, the late Whitney Houston's stirring performance at Super Bowl XXV was the gold standard by which all others have been judged. Now, however, she has some serious competition. At the golden Super Bowl in the golden state, Lady Gaga gave us an anthem worth its weight in gold.
I'm a traditionalist when it comes to my anthem renditions, and Houston's was as close to by-the-book as they come. While I often cringe at "creative interpretations" of The Star-Spangled Banner, Gaga's poignant rendition, accompanied by piano, included only a few deviations from the score, and those well-placed improvisations and flourishes were respectful of the music and its lyrics. Her voice was strong, she hit all the notes, and she seemed, like Houston, truly honored to have been given this wonderful opportunity.
Now, I just can't wait to see and hear who gets to sing the anthem at Super Bowl LXXV 25 years from now.
TV ads flopped
Super Bowl Sunday has become that one day of the year when television viewers actually want to watch commercials. It's great fun, each Monday after, to talk about which spots made us laugh, think, and sometimes tear up. By and large this year, however, I was less than impressed with the overall offering. My favorite of the night was by far the Doritos ultrasound baby, which aired in the first quarter (or thereabouts). I laughed out loud, as did everyone else in the room at the Super Bowl party I attended.
On to 2016
The 2015 NFL season is now officially in the history books. While Patriots fans might be weathering this latest New England snowstorm by dreaming about what might have been for their favorite football team, they can warm their hearts by looking forward to next season, which will get underway before too long. The Patriots appear to be in solid shape, roster-wise, with no significant players scheduled to become free agents (DT Akiem Hicks might be the biggest name of this year's bunch). New England remains an odds-on favorite to be back in the title race in 2016, and with only a few areas to address this offseason (No. 2 cornerback, o-line stability, and outside wide receiver), there's reason to be optimistic about this team's short-term outlook.
With the season over it's time to look at the roster and start analyzing how it might take shape in the coming weeks.
20 years later here's what some of the key players, executives and media members recall from one of the most memorable Patriots playoff games in history.
As the dust settles on the 2021 Patriots season, it is apparent that the team needs to add speed on both sides of the ball.

Q: Zend tool include path Is it possible to install and use ZF (+ its console tool) without access to include_path direcotory? I've tried adding the ...Zend/library direcotry into include_path but without success.
I did it this way:
php -r 'set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . "/var/www/.../Zend/library")';

After var_dumping result of the function above it returned old include_path which should mean success. But next call of get_include_path() returned the old path too.
I've also tried to set the environment variable:
ZF_INCLUDE_PATH_PREPEND="/var/www/.../Zend/library"

There is our company framework in the old include_path directory so I can't (even if I could I should't) copy there the ZF library.
I think a proper framework shouldn't rely on any global PHP settings as include_path is. I think it should be possible to set the include path somewhere in ZF internal configuration file.
edit:
I added set_include_path('/var/www/.../Zend/library') into zf.php file and the tool stopped throwing 'wrong include_path' error. In fact it sopped printing any output. When executing command zf create project test it does nothing. ~/.zf folder wasn't created.

A: If you can't copy the zf library in some "global" include path, e.g. /usr/share/php/, you can still copy it where your project is and start the zf tool from there. A folder structure like:
/var/www/zf_tool
                `/bin/
                      `zf.sh
                      `zf.php
                `/library
                      `/Zend

Copy the Zend folder under library, and the zf.sh and zf.php scripts under bin and set them to be executable chmod a+x zf.sh zf.php if they are not already.
Next, if you run /var/www/project/bin/zf.sh it'll look for zf files in the include_path, but if it's not there, it'll go up one folder and go into the library folder. Only if the zf library is not to be found there, it'll die with an error. In the end, creating a new zf project is simple as:
$ pwd
/var/www/zf_tool/bin
$ ./zf.sh create project /var/www/test_project

That's it. HTH :)

A: Using he set/get include_path functions is only going to set it for the life of the "request" so it goes back to normal as soon as the command/web request finishes. As far as setting the include path for your local copy you can do that in an environment variable as you tried or in your ~/.zf folder on the box. there are configs in there and there is a setting cor include path.
Beyond that you could also ad something like what you had in the php -r ... to the shell script youre executing directly although this wouldnt be the recommended way.

Having being stalked on Facebook isn't a nice experience. If you are thinking how many people have been stalked on Facebook, then you are thinking right. While thinking about such experience, the first thing that comes to mind is that a man is following a woman with the intent of doing some physical abuse.
However, the fact is that stalking actually takes varied forms. In fact, something that happens more frequently which you might also expect is that someone may begin to stalk you on Facebook anytime. This may happen because we share photographs as well as immense amount of our lives in written format on social networking sites like Facebook or even through placing blog posts. Sometimes this may become a simple social thing to do while at other times, such kind of social posting becomes a part of your business networking and marketing of your business interests.
You don't tend to get stalked by complete strangers whether you are being stalked in person or on social networking site like Facebook. There exists a tie of some description and it may be loose though it. Thus you may become surprised while positioning yourself in such a category and get stalked. However, if you happen to be or have been the subject of Facebook stalking , thus when you look behind, you will eventually realize that it is very easy for the stalker to go about their sleuth work while you are intent upon and get distracted by your business goals.
When your major goal is networking or viral marketing, then you aren't keen on taking down friend requests. In case, you are using Facebook or your blog for personal reasons, then you will have to accept real friend requests from people whom you know in person or reveal your blog to only close friends. Some of the faceless requests by people may turn into a jealous obsession on their part which you may not be aware of.
Although you may have taken your Facebook profile to only business purpose but with time, you may also start considering that there isn't any harm in getting some friends onto it. You will eventually come across several friends who may also turn into good people trying to assist you in business.
Thus, it is easy to stalk but not at all times. It doesn't take very long to know who is accessing those pages on Facebook or is considering to stalk you. For avoiding being in such mishap, it is best to take precautions. Always make sure that there are recent photos to be seen. Also check that there represents a fair number of friends, for how much time they have been on Facebook and which kind of activity they are into while being on Facebook.
