Vale Tudo Japan's visit to Okinawa might not come with quite as deep a lineup as some its past ventures, but it could be considered as something of an all-around comeback-themed card. There's Justin Morton, better known to Japanese MMA fans as simply "That Guy," who looks to bounce back from only his second career loss. There's Shinichi "BJ" Kojima, who was once considered among the best flyweight competitors in the world but now holds a 5-5 record over his last 10 outings. And then there are two flyweights who appear to have prospect's records, but have a long way to go to get their careers back on track. Those fighters are Sean Santella and Ryota Matsune.
The 30-year-old Santella was once considered a top bantamweight and flyweight prospect. He captured flyweight crowns under the Ring of Combat and Cage Fury Fighting Championships banners and defended the latter of those titles four times before dropping it to Nick Honstein. After three different scheduled bouts fizzled, Santella returned in 2015 and suffer another loss, this time to Jimmy Grant on the scorecards. He had another bout fizzle and then fought to a no-contest with Matthew Rizzo in a Global Proving Grounds flyweight title fight. He has gone three fights without a win. The Ricardo Almeida and AMA Fight Club product, who serves as the jiu-jitsu instructor at Miller Brothers MMA, wrestled in high school and later took up jiu-jitsu. He has suffered losses to UFC veteran Nick Pace and current UFC fighter Aljamain Sterling, but he has notched wins over Bellator veteran Tuan Pham and Strikeforce vet Anthony Figueroa.
Matsune is known as "The Shooto Junkie." The 33-year-old made his pro debut in 2000 and put together a 14-1 mark by the end of 2004. Then, Matsune started competing only sporadically. He was inactive in 2005 and returned in 2006, fighting to a draw with Takeya Mizugaki and earning a win over David Lejenas. He didn't return again until 2010, when he lost to Rumina Sato. Now, he returns after five years of inactivity. The Paraestra Matsudo product tends to go the distance in his fights, with just two submission wins and a single victory via strikes. His loss to Sato came via TKO.
There was a time when Matsune would have been a steep challenge for Santella. That time has most likely passed. While "The Shooto Junkie" has an impressive 15-2-1 mark, he has gone just 1-1-1 over the last decade. Santella is getting a change in scenery, though, after a lengthy run on the East Coast. This is his first trip to Japan, so there are a lot of unknowns here. How will Santella perform overseas? Can Matsune return to form and shake years of ring rust?
If everything goes right for Santella, his grappling should be the difference in this fight. Matsune has not been submitted, so a finish may be a bit much to ask of the New Jersey-based fighter. However, Santella should be able to secure the decision victory.
The Abu Dhabi Warriors promotion has gathered a number of familiar names for the organization's third effort. The card is headlined by UFC veterans Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou and Paul Buentello and also features Karl Amoussou, Waylon Lowe and prospect Max Nunes. In addition, there's a lightweight showdown between Alexander Sarnavskiy and Jesse Ronson, a pair of prospects who found plenty of success until they made their debuts on MMA's biggest stages in Bellator and the UFC, respectively.
Sarnavskiy posted 20 wins and zero defeats before signing with Bellator. Now 26 years old, the Russian made his Bellator debut in a lightweight tournament and lost to veteran Rich Clementi. "Tiger" bounced back with four Bellator wins, including two in tournament action, and a regional victory before fighting current champion Will Brooks in a tournament final. Sarnavskiy suffered a decision loss to Brooks and rebounded with four more regional wins and a Bellator victory over Dakota Cochrane. He stumbled once again in April when he fought Marcin Held in the Bellator cage and lost via a third-round leg-lock submission. Sarnavskiy trains with Alexander Shlemenko and likes to strike with his opponents, but he has scored 18 submission wins and only seven victories via strikes.
Ronson, who debuted in 2009, wasn't quite as perfect as Sarnavskiy in his early career. He went 4-2 through his first six fights, but then everything started clicking and he reeled off eight straight wins. The UFC came calling, but Ronson lost three straight fights in the Octagon before he was shown the door. Back on the regional scene, he has rebounded with two stoppage victories, including a second-round submission finish of Gadji Zaipulaev at the last Abu Dhabi Warriors show in March. Ronson, who trains out of Adrenaline MMA, has seven victories by way of strikes and five wins by submission. The 29-year-old wrestled in high school. He has competed as a kickboxer and boxer, earning several regional and amateur titles.
Sarnavskiy has had his stumbles, but the first came against a savvy veteran in the Russian's first Bellator fight and the more recent losses came to two of Bellator's top lightweights. Ronson has been a competitive fighter even at the highest levels, where all of his losses came in the form of split decisions. This sets the table for what should be a very competitive fight. Both men have knockout ability and strong ground games. Ronson's wrestling background gives him an edge in the takedown department.
These guys have more than 50 combined fights, but they've only combined for three stoppage losses. Ronson has suffered a submission loss via choke before. That happens to be one of Sarnavskiy's go-to attacks, so there's an outside chance that this one ends with the Russian claiming another submission victory. However, it's more likely that this fight goes the distance and ends in a close decision. Either way, "Tiger" should emerge as the victor.
Pancrase recently joined the lineup of live events offered up on UFC Fight Pass, and its 270th show is definitely worth watching. The card features two King of Pancrase title showdowns, including a featherweight championship tilt between UFC veterans Nam Phan and Andy Main. Gota Yamashita seeks to defend his welterweight crown against Shingo Suzuki in the other title affair. The card is rounded out with plenty of strong pairings, including a bantamweight fight between prospects Victor Henry and Hidekazu Fukushima.
After a rocky amateur career in which he dropped two fights, Henry turned pro in 2010 and started training with Erik Paulson, Josh Barnett and the CSW crew. He won his first six pro contests before running into Joe Murphy. Murphy, a World Series of Fighting veteran and future Resurrection Fighting Alliance fighter, handed Henry his first pro loss by way of a closely contested split decision. Henry rebounded from the defeat in a big way. He scored a TKO victory over Dream veteran Hideo Tokoro, scored a first-round submission finish of Cory Vom Baur and stunned Masakatsu Ueda with a third-round kneebar submission finish before scoring a split decision in his most recent affair against Taichi Nakajima. The 28-year-old is a taekwondo black belt, but his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills have accounted for five submission victories to go along with his two stoppages via strikes. Henry has only been stopped once, via submission, and that was during his amateur run.
The 30-year-old Fukushima has made stops in Shooto, Deep and Pancrase since his 2010 pro debut. He won his first two fights before suffering a submission loss to Minoru Takeuchi. Fukushima responded by going 4-0-1 before hitting another snag when he emerged on the wrong end of a decision in a 2013 contest against Kota Onojima. The loss marked Fukushima's last appearance with Shooto. He moved on to Pancrase and Deep, winning two contests with each promotion to compile a four-fight winning streak. Fukushima has two submission wins and one victory by way of strikes.
Henry is an overlooked prospect who hasn't received enough attention from the top promotions. Perhaps that's due to his loss to Murphy, who has struggled to find success under the RFA banner. He's skilled in all areas of the game — his striking victory over Tokoro and submission finish of Ueda are fine illustrations of well-round skill set — but his work with CSW has made him a very strong presence on the mat. Fukushima is no slouch either, but he's likely to enter this as the smaller fighter and might run into trouble if the fight goes to the ground. Henry had trouble finishing Nakajima, which was a bit surprising, but he'll threaten to bring an early end to Fukushima's night. If he can't find the finish, he'll still be effective en route to a judges' nod.

Q: HP Envy 4500 WiFi printer not found using WiFi I'm not a 'power user' so please be patient.  Wife and I are both running 14.04 on our respective laptops with no problems.  We connect to the Home WiFi with no issues.  I purchased an HP-Envy 4500 All-in-one printer.  Works well with USB connection, no problems.  But when I attempt to set it up as a Wireless printer on our laptops it can not be found.
The 'Wireless Network Test Results' (created by the printer), shows a good connection, and passing traffic between the printer and the wireless router.
When I go to system settings > Printers > Add Printer > Network Printer there is nothing listed.  If I click "Find Network Printer" no printers are found.
If I try to use HPLIP Device Manager with the USB cable connected, HPLIP will enter a crash-loop and not add the printer.
We would both like to have wireless printing capability but from other questions here, there seems to be some issues.  Before we moved, we had this functionality, but have had updates to Ubuntu, changed from DSL to Cable, and changed WiFi routers from Asus to Belkin.  Any ideas or suggestions?

A: I suggest that, rather than having the System Settings > Printers tool attempt to automatically find the wireless printer, you specify the Device URI. I have an HP printer and, although it attaches to my router with ethernet, I think the process is the same.
I assume the 'Wireless Network Test Results' shows the printer's IP address. I suggest you use this to add a network printer:
ipp://<IP address>:631/lpr

Then continue and let the system look for drivers, select HP and, I assume, since the printer worked by USB, the exact model is selectable. Test by printing a test page.

A: Thank you for your proposed solution.  Your suggestion got me thinking and it turns out that the HP-Envy-4500 E All-in-one printer MUST be configured using a USB connection to the printer.  After connecting with the USB cable, using HPLIP I was able to enter the wireless printer setup utility.  Even though I had successfully connected to our home router, it was necessary to over write that information.  Once the connection was made according to the HPLIP configuration tool, all was good to go.  It is now working properly.
Thank you for prompting my old gray cells.

A: If the printer isn't found automatically you must manually enter the printer's IP.
Here's how:

*

*Connect the printer to your existing WLAN access point

You'll need to use the printer's menu interface to connect to your wireless access point by following the prompts to enter your username and password.
Once your printer has connected to the WLAN, just to verify your computer can see the printer is on the network you can ping the printer using the following command:

ping 192.168.X.XXX

Whereas 'X' will be substituted by the printer's IP address. You can find the printer's IP address by scrolling to the "Wireless" submenu and hitting enter. The IP address should be at the top of the screen.
When you ping the printer you should see a reply, or else you know your machine can't view the printer on the WLAN.
In that case you should check your printer is connected, your firewall settings on your machine, and lastly the router's firewall settings if the problem persists.

*

*Connect your computer to the printer:

Use the hp-setup GUI to scan for the device on the network.

hp-setup

*

*Select connection type "Ethernet/Network/Wireless"

*Use the "advanced" option and enter the IP address of your printer under the "manual" section. Submit.
Your computer should now be connected to your printer.

She founded Harlem Run and Run 4 All Women, and has been named by Women's Running as one of twenty women who are changing the sport of running, Alison takes a breather to sit down with us and share her inspirational story.
You're about to meet Roz Mays, a personal trainer/gym instructor who also happens to be an award-winning pole dancer. And.. describes herself this way, "I'm black, I'm plus size and I'm a woman - that's a triple threat in fitness. I'm the anti-Christ. I'm just missing being a lesbian Muslim and then everyone can hate me!" Sit back and enjoy this refreshingly open and honest conversation. You're gonna love her!


MIAMI, Florida – (October 3, 2016) – According to the National Retail Federation, roughly $7 billion will be spent on the Halloween season. A good portion of that money will go to candy purchases, which will be given away to the tens of millions of trick-or-treaters who take to the community streets and neighborhood parties. Armed with a bag full of candy, many parents worry about whether or not their child is getting a sugar overload as this yearly holiday makes its way through their home. The good news is that there are ways that people can help make Halloween more natural and healthy.
Prior to Halloween, visit your dentist to have sealants put onto your kids' teeth to seal and protect the enamel grooves, avoiding dental decay.
Give your children a good nutritious meal before they go trick-or-treating. Mashed pumpkin is rich in vitamin A and a great snack. If they are not hungry while trick-or-treating, they will be less likely to try and fill up on empty calories and sugar.
Try to avoid all unnecessary sugar that day. That way, if they do have a few treats later, they won't run the risk of overdosing on sweets.
Instruct your children not to eat any treats until they bring them home to be examined by you.
Supervise your children to have their teeth brushed and flossed immediately after consuming Halloween candy and right before bed.
Parents who are handing out treats to trick-or-treaters or donating snacks for parties should opt for non-sugary foods, such as individual bags of crackers, granola bars, or fruit leather.
Encourage kids to walk when they are trick-or-treating, so they get some exercise as they gather their treats.
Make sure your children use high quality, natural non-fluoride toothpaste.
If your child gets a large amount of candy, encourage them to keep half of it and donate the other half to a shelter, sell it to a dentist office candy buy-back, or give it to one of the organizations that sends it to U.S. troops overseas.
Dr. Sharp Natural Oral Care product line includes children's toothpaste, adult toothpaste, fresh mint mouthwash, and dental tape. All products are safe to use, made in the USA, and are metal free, gluten-free, have no artificial colors or flavors, are vegan, non-GMO, alcohol-free, fluoride-free, paraben-free and cruelty-free. Plus, they help whiten teeth and have xylitol, which is a natural sweetener that also helps to fight off cavities. The products are safe for the entire family. To learn more about Dr. Sharp Natural Oral Care products or see where they can be purchased, visit the site at: www.drsharpcare.com.
Those are all great tips, thanks. We usually eat dinner before going trick-or-treating, although it's hard for my son to wait because a lot of trick-or-treaters come to our door while we're eating. I also very carefully go through his candy, too carefully according to my husband. He only gets 1 or 2 pieces each day, and he shares with the rest of us. I never knew about donating it to the military.

Abstract: Owing to the demand for sustainable sex-control protocols in aquaculture, research in tilapia sex determination is gaining momentum. The mutual influence of environmental and genetic factors hampers disentangling the complex sex determination mechanism in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Previous linkage analyses have demonstrated quantitative trait loci for the phenotypic sex on linkage groups 1, 3, and 23. Quantitative trait loci for temperature-dependent sex reversal similarly reside on linkage group 23. The anti-Müllerian hormone gene (amh), located in this genomic region, is important for sexual fate in higher vertebrates, and shows sexually dimorphic expression in Nile tilapia. Therefore this study aimed at detecting allelic variants and marker-sex associations in the amh gene. Sequencing identified six allelic variants. A significant effect on the phenotypic sex for SNP ss831884014 (p<0.0017) was found by stepwise logistic regression. The remaining variants were not significantly associated. Functional annotation of SNP ss831884014 revealed a non-synonymous amino acid substitution in the amh protein. Consequently, a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) based genotyping assay was developed and validated with a representative sample of fish. A logistic linear model confirmed a highly significant effect of the treatment and genotype on the phenotypic sex, but not for the interaction term (treatment: p<0.0001; genotype: p<0.0025). An additive genetic model proved a linear allele substitution effect of 12% in individuals from controls and groups treated at high temperature, respectively. Moreover, the effect of the genotype on the male proportion was significantly higher in groups treated at high temperature, giving 31% more males on average of the three genotypes. In addition, the groups treated at high temperature showed a positive dominance deviation (+11.4% males). In summary, marker-assisted selection for amh variant ss831884014 seems to be highly beneficial to increase the male proportion in Nile tilapia, especially when applying temperature-induced sex reversal. © 2014 Wessels et al.

"How do you put into words the impact someone has on your life, watching them grow, as you grow, for the past 3 1/2 years? Simply put, you cannot. All we can say is, Aiden, it has been a privilege and an honor working with you and loving you through the sweat and the tears to see your first steps, hear your first words and transform into the wonderful little man you have become.
To Ashley, thank you for letting your family become part of the Precision family. We truly cherish the time spent together!
"I was in a dark place emotionally, when I first came to Precision Physical Therapy. Frankly I was a real disbeliever that they could do anything for my pain. I had endured heart surgery almost a year ago and went through heart rehab and still had issues from that. When a new injury kept me literally bed bound for over a month, I was very frustrated and didn't think anything could touch my pain. I was taking a massive amount of ibuprofen each day to take care of my personal needs each day. I had built up my walking distance over the last year to almost two miles a day average and with this fresh injury and pain I was really mad and frustrated in general. I couldn't even sit in a recliner for even the shortest amount of time.
When I called, they always answered the phone quickly and professionally. I had spoken to Rachel to try to coordinate the appointments and for the receipt of my x-rays over the previous two weeks. After finally setting the first appointment I was not hopeful, but I was determined to go through the motions at least.
I was hurting an absolute eight out of ten with an ice pack upon my back just to get here. After my first visit, Susan was able to drop that to a scale of one! I have almost not needed to take any ibuprofen after the first and as well as the second visit. I am now a believer of what they can do.
They do their (miracle works) jobs in a family type atmosphere and with the focus on you and how to help ease your pain. They told me that "This is a place of hope." I believe that now and am benefiting from it as well.
Let us help you get back to living life!

To nurture lawn without waste, ensure that you know when—and how much—to water.
Q: I notice neighbors' sprinklers running at all hours of the day. What's the best time to water grass—and how much is enough?
A: With many communities experiencing drought in recent years, it's more important than ever to heed common-sense guidelines when watering our lawns. Doing so correctly can save resources while keeping you out of hot water with your homeowner's association and even your city. In areas where HOAs and municipalities enforce strict rules, wise watering can save you from fines as well.
Early in the morning is the best time to water grass. At sunrise, when everything is cooler, you'll get the best water absorption. If you water later in the day—particularly if it's bright, warm, and breezy—the heat of the sun and force of the wind can rob your grass and other plantings of precious hydration. If you get the job done at dawn, you're giving the water a greater chance of reaching the roots and being fully utilized. So set those sprinklers accordingly.
How much water you use is also critical. It may seem smart to set your sprinkler or irrigation system to the highest setting and drench the area as rapidly as possible, but if you water too quickly, you may experience runoff. This robs the lawn of ample absorption and wastes water in the process. So keep an eye on the edge of your lawn to make sure you're not literally letting precious water run down the drain when it could be helping your grass grow.
Follow the rule of one inch of water every week, divided into two or three sessions. More than that can drown your grass, depleting it of oxygen and causing it to die, so measure your output and wait about three days between each watering session to give it a chance to breathe. To ensure you're hitting the mark, place a few coffee mugs around your yard and test the sprinkler system to see how long it takes to fill each cup to the 1/3- or 1/2-inch mark. Then, set the system for that same amount of time every three days or so. Watering daily is almost always too frequent, while once a week is rarely enough. So aim down the middle and watch your lawn flourish.
Keep an eye out for dryness. Grass that's discolored or curled over at the top is likely suffering from a lack of moisture. The same is true of a lawn that still shows your footprints after you've trod a path across it, with the blades refusing to bounce back up. If you notice these signs of dryness, adjust your watering schedule to start earlier in the day and allow for slightly longer sessions, or perhaps fine-tune your watering days to occur a bit more frequently.
Watch out for overwatering, too. If the ground feels particularly sponge-like and causes your feet to sink as you walk across the lawn, or if you see a thatch of extra vegetation taking hold of your topsoil when you run your hand over the blades, you're watering too much. However, when modifying your frequency, don't do so abruptly. Take a few weeks to slowly adjust your watering schedule to keep the shock of change from further damaging your lawn.
To truly want to cut back on water consumption, consider xeriscaping or native landscaping. Xeriscaping involves landscaping that requires no or minimal watering, often using sand, pebbles, or mulch where grass would otherwise be found. Native landscaping involves grasses and plants that thrive naturally with typical local rainfall, reducing or eliminating the need for extra watering. Both are attractive and effective ways to cut back on your water bill, and some homeowners choose to combine the two for a beautiful, eco-friendly landscape that demands little upkeep. Whichever approach you choose, best of luck with your outdoor space this summer!
Still have questions about lawn care? Watch and learn from this short video filled with easy-to-follow advice for anyone who wants their green grass to stay that way.

I enjoy live albums for a few reasons: they have more character than studio albums, I get a better idea of what a band is really capable of, and they often offer up the greatest hits from an artist's catalog. But I also view live albums with skepticism because they are usually made up of tracks drawn from an entire tour (or tours) so that the artist can hide any warts that may show up. Also, they are usually over-produced to the point that many of these albums become more of a sound engineering exercise than a performance.
This is what makes the Michael Packer Blues Band's Live at the Turning Point a little more special. I cannot say for sure, but it sure sounds like this music was all taken from one evening. I had to search around a bit to figure out what the Turning Point is, and I believe it is the Turning Point Café in Piermont, New York. This is a great music club that is located a little north of The City, and has been host to many great performers, including Mr. Packer. p>Michael Packer is a singer, guitarist and songwriter who was born in New York City in 1950. His music career kicked off with a bang after his group "Papa Nebo" was signed to Atlantic Records in 1969 by none other than Ahmet Ertegun. After tasting success with his project "Free Beer", he battled his inner demons, which resulted in: 1. Dropping out of the music business. 2. Ending up on the streets. 3. Doing a year in Riker's Island for armed robbery. He has been clean and sober for almost two decades now, and is back into the blues. Talk about the blues – he should write a book about them. I'd buy it!
Live at the Turning Point begins with an original song, "Mr. Packer", and the tone is set for the rest of the album. Though he is from New York, Michael has a big chunk of Chicago blues in his heart and you can hear it in his growly voice and Rob Paparozzi's sweet harmonica work. King Bear (great nickname, BTW) aggressively nails the bass line over Guy Powell's drums. This is an uptempo number that shows that the Michael Packer Blues Band plays well together while having some seriously good times.
After listening to this first track, it struck me that this album is surprisingly well-recorded. This is a small venue, and I would expect tons of extra noise coming through the microphones, both from the audience and everybody on stage. But, the instruments and vocals came through as clear as a bell, even Ed Jackson's bongos. They must have used a metric ton of microphones, throttled the band way back on their volume, or processed the heck out of it after the fact. Or maybe they just got lucky. Regardless of their methods, it worked out well, and listening to this album is an enjoyable experience. My only gripe would be that four of the seven tracks are covers, but they are all great songs.
Next up on the CD is a cover of "Can't You See", the 1973 Marshall Tucker Band hit that was written by the late Toy Caldwell. This track provides a temporary change in the band line-up, with David Maxwell on piano, Ed Snozzo on drums and the genius Felix Cabrera on harmonica. Felix has a great feel for the harmonica, and really classes up the joint wherever he plays. There is some really smooth guitar work on this song, and as it is not credited on the liner notes I figure it must be Michael Packer. It would have been nice to hear a little more back and forth between Cabrera and Packer on this one.
Chuck Berry's "No Money Down" is also on Live at the Turning Point, with Mr. Paparozzi back on the harp, and Michael on the piano. You can never go wrong with a Chuck Berry cover, and having Powell and King Bear building the foundation guarantees a solid blues jam. You can hear the joy and fun in Michael Packer's voice, which keeps this track real and makes me want to catch their live show next time I am in the tri-state area.
Blues legend Honeyboy Edwards makes a guest appearance on "61 Highway", the Mississippi Fred McDowell tune. The song title refers to The Blues Highway which runs from New Orleans to Minnesota, and is probably a reference to Clarksdale, Mississippi at the junction of U.S. 61 and U.S. 49, where Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil. Anyway, Edwards voice and guitar define the blues, and he does a bang-up job on this track which is, unfortunately, the shortest track on the album.
The album finishes strongly with the fastest version of Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor" that I have ever heard. This nine minute track gives everybody a chance in the spotlight, and the opportunity to say goodbye before the album ends. By the way, I appreciate the shout-outs so I know who is playing which parts.
Live at the Turning Point is a fun album, and if you want a feel for who the Michael Packer Blues band is and what they are all about, giving this a listen is the best way to find out.

(Vallejo, CA) – The Bayard Rustin LGBT Democratic Club took a vote at its regular scheduled meeting on February 19 and unanimously agreed that the vote by the Vallejo City Council to spend tax money to send Vallejo Mayor Osby Davis to Tanzania was an act which brings unwanted negative publicity to Vallejo and serves to undermine efforts to show the city in a positive light after recently coming out of bankruptcy and on the heels of making cuts to public worker benefits. The resolution also points out that the anti-gay religious leaders travelling with Davis and the famously anti-gay mayor are inappropriate representatives for the people of Vallejo, to meet with such an anti-gay administration as Jakaya Kikwete, President of Tanzania.
The club also issued a resolution against the Trans Pacific Partnership agreement, and requested public hearings for the agreement rather than fast tracking new trade rules between the US and Pacific Rim countries.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED upon approval of this resolution, the Bayard Rustin LGBT Democratic Club shall seek to educate the public to the human rights abuses in Tanzania to the best of its ability.

Irrfan Khan just like many other actors in 2020 was unfortunately taken away from us. While the actor is no longer alive, his legacy lives on. On Sunday, Sutapa Sikdar took to her social media account to remember her late husband and actor with an emotional note. Sutapa shared a picture of herself hugging Irrfan Khan from behind as he looks towards the camera.
She wrote, "You could never remember birthdays..off-late you were kind of embarrassed of that. This was about this world and its ways... Do you remember today in the world with some other energies. How is it up there?"
"You always wondered when you were in this world always about the other world ..do you still forget birthdays? attaching a photo when you forgot again. Sending you tightest hug," she added.
Earlier Sutapa spoke at the screening of Paan Singh Tomar at the ongoing International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa. She said, "I remember Irrfan had dreams in his eyes. It's a special moment because it's an honour and privilege to be given a tribute. I'm happy to be here, this is the first time I've come out of home. But one needs closures to walk ahead, and IFFI is a closure."

At North Tampa Dentistry, we use dental sealants as a way to protect teeth and prevent cavities. If you live in Tampa, FL or the 33618 area, we encourage you to call (813) 430-0933 and schedule an appointment with our dental office. We can examine you and your family before letting you know if dental sealants are the right preventative care solution for your teeth.
Food can easily become trapped inside the deep ridges on the chewing surfaces of the teeth. These areas can be incredibly difficult to clean so at North Tampa Dentistry, we prevent food and plaque buildup by sealing these ridges. By eliminating the areas for food to become trapped, the risk for cavities is decreased.
Incredibly easy. When you visit our Tampa, FL dental office, we can clean your teeth. Afterwards, we will apply a gel to the surface of your teeth and let it dry. Then, we will rinse and dry your tooth again before finally placing the dental sealants. The sealant is literally painted onto the tooth and sometimes dried with a special dental light. The process only takes a couple of minutes per tooth and it is so easy that our 33618 patients are usually surprised by how quickly it is done.
We have found that our 33618 patients cannot even notice them. They do not look like anything because they are completely clear. If you run your tongue along your teeth, you may be able to feel a slight difference but they are smooth and will not feel uncomfortable in any way.
At North Tampa Dentistry, we have found that sealants typically last for five to ten years. They are incredibly effective but we will want to monitor them during regular dental examinations. Naturally, there are certain things like chewing on pencils or biting down on ice that can wear down the dental sealant so it is important to make safe and healthy choices regarding what is put in the mouth. If Dr. Bellegarrigue sees that they are wearing down, we may recommend that they are replaced so that you or your children can continue to benefit from this layer of protection.
If you live in Tampa, FL or the 33618 area, call 813-430-0933 to schedule an appointment with our dental office. At North Tampa Dentistry, we would be happy to examine you and your children's teeth before letting you know if sealants are a good solution for you. We can provide you with all of the information you need to make an educated decision and to get started.
Check out what others are saying about our dental sealants on Yelp: Dental Sealants Tampa.
Dental sealants are a tool for preventing oral health problems. They are incredibly effective at doing so and typically used in children for this very reason. They are not, however, a solve-all solution. Dr. Bellegarrigue typically recommends that sealants are used as part of an overall treatment plan, rather than as a singular solution. Regular teeth cleanings are still important and should be done twice per year. Remember that the sealant is only placed on the chewing surfaces of the teeth so it does not work to protect the front, back or sides of your teeth from becoming infected or experiencing tooth decay. Plaque can still build up in these areas and professional dental cleanings are the best way to remove it.
At North Tampa Dentistry, we also recommend that children continue to receive fluoride treatments. Fluorine is a mineral that strengthens the teeth and has been proven to reduce the risk for tooth decay by thirty percent in children. Fluoride treatments play an active and important role in preventative dentistry so do not forgo this solution because your child has dental sealants. They approach oral health from a different angle.
When you visit our Tampa dental office, we will be happy to provide you with more information on dental sealants and preventive care. Our goal is for you and your entire family to have healthy teeth for a lifetime. Education, prevention, and care are all part of that process. To learn more, call (813) 430-0933 and schedule an appointment today.
If you live in Tampa, Florida call 813-430-0933 and schedule your appointment to experience why patients trust North Tampa Dentistry with all of their Dental Sealants needs.

The Rolling Stones Add New Dates But Fans Are Still Furious, 'No Charlie Watts, No Stones'
Su YeniocakSeptember 12, 20212 mins read
The Rolling Stones decided to continue with their 2021 tour after the death of their bandmate and friend Charlie Watts on August 24. They recently posted an update on their official Instagram account about their tour dates and received a lot of backlash from fans for continuing to tour.
Charlie Watts has been a huge part of the band and played with them for 58 years. For more than half a century, the fans have gotten used to seeing him on stage as an inseparable member. However, shortly after his passing, the Rolling Stones announced that Watts gave his blessing for the band to continue touring no matter what.
The Stones wanted to honor his wish, and they didn't cancel their shows. Even though the band members are going through a challenging time, their fans couldn't stop themselves from objecting to the band's decision to keep performing. They started to receive a lot of hate comments on their posts just because they didn't postpone the tour.
Here is the caption of the post they uploaded on Instagram:

"No Charlie, No Stones! Guys, you are better than this. Please respect Charlie's memory, and put an end to the band. Real fans would rather see the band having a decent and respectful end than have a tour where, for the first time in almost 60 years, Charlie won't be playing."

Twitter permanently bans Kangana Rauaut's account after she tweeted about the post-poll violence in bengal and tweeted with a video what is appeared like a hateful or a violent statement.
The suspension of Twitter account came after Kangana Ranaut puts out a video demanding President's rule in West Bengal. After suspension she took to Instagram to say that her twitter account had been suspended after posting the video on Tuesday morning.
Earlier, Kangana's sister Rangoli Chandel's Twitter account was also suspended for violating the regulations of the platform. Kangana's account was also restricted for a few hours earlier this year after the actor's incendiary tweets against the web series Tandav. The tweet was deleted later.
Ranaut has courted controversy on several occasions since her debut on Twitter last year. In January, Twitter put her account in red mode only,for two tweets that allegedly incited violence. At the time, many Twitter users had called for her account to be suspended, accusing her of hate-mongering.
And also Twitter removed some of the tweets after she got into a spat with pop singer Rihanna over the farmers' protests across India. The company had also suspended the account of Ranaut's sister Rangoli Chandel for hate speech in April last year.
And Kangana Ranaut claimed that twitter's moves shows an alleged race bias, and Twitter has only proved my point they're Americans and by birth a white person feels entitled to enslave a brown person,they want to tell you what you think,speak or do. I have many platforms which i can use to raise my voice,including my own art in the form of cinema.
And also Kangana stated that "my heart goes out to the people of this nation who have been tortured, enslaved, and censored for thousands of years, and still, there is no end to the suffering."
Twitter spokesperson said in a statement. We enforce the Twitter Rules judiciously and impartially for everyone on our service.According to Twitter's abusive behaviour policy, users "may not engage in the targeted harassment of someone, or incite other people to do so". Twitter considers abusive behavior "an attempt to harass, intimidate, or silence someone else's voice".

Part of the itinerary of our field trip last February was the visit to the Shrine of the Divine Mercy. Little did I know that the place is one of the popular places where devout Catholic go to during the Lenten season as part of their Visita Iglesia (Church visits) and retreat commemorating the life and suffering of Jesus Christ.
I took some photos of the place which was actually the entrance of the shrine situated in Marilao, Bulacan. Here's some of the pictures that I have previously posted in my other blog. Some of the pictures here were featured on the news a while ago.
Let us make the short break from work to reflect and repent for all our shortcomings. Let's keep in our hearts the true meaning of the Lenten Season. There is nothing wrong with going to beaches or other vacation spots with our family and friends, but let's not make it the be-all and end-all of the occasion.

Dad recounts attempts to save son who apparently died of allergic reaction to fish smell
Steven Jean-Pierre desperately tried to save his son as he struggled to breathe after apparently suffering from an allergic reaction to the smell of cooking fish
By Marco Poggio and Reuven Blau
NEW YORK — An 11-year-old boy who appears to have died from an allergic reaction to the smell of cooking fish used his last breaths to comfort his beloved father.
"He told me, 'Daddy, I love you. I love you,'" recalled Camron Jean-Pierre's heartbroken father, Steven. "He gave me two kisses."

Jean-Pierre desperately tried to save his son as he struggled to breathe at his grandmother's home on E. 82nd St. near Flatlands Ave. in Canarsie, Brooklyn, on Tuesday just before 7:25 p.m.
The youngster used a nebulizer, for his asthma, but it didn't help.
"I don't know, for some reason he was saying it wasn't working," Jean-Pierre said through tears. "He kept telling me, 'I'm not able to breathe.'"
Jean-Pierre then called 911. Camron lost consciousness before an ambulance arrived.
"It felt like he had no pulse," Jean-Pierre said. "I tried to give him the CPR and he came back but I wish I knew (how) to keep pumping him because he woke up and I felt his heart and everything. But I stopped and sat him up to make him feel better."
EMS raced Camron to Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center, where doctors were unable to save him.
The sixth-grader had a history of "little panic attacks" and suffered from asthma, said Jean-Pierre, standing outside the Canarsie home Tuesday afternoon.
His grandmother was hosting a New Year's family party when the tragedy occurred. Camron became ill shortly after walking inside the home — and the family suspects protein particles in the air caused the fatal reaction.
Jean-Pierre said he always made sure to keep fish away from Camron due to his allergy.
"We knew he had an allergy… but usually, he don't get nothing that severe like that," he said. "He don't eat fish. We don't put it around him. It just so happens they was cooking it when we came in."
"That was my prince, man," he added. "He was my everything. Everything."
Camron attended Theodore Schor Middle School in Piscataway, N.J., where he "made everyone around him happy," Jean-Pierre said.
"Everybody gravitated to my son," he said. "He was a leader. He had ambition."
When Cameron turned 11 on Nov. 19, his dad made a video collage using a series of photos on his phone.
"Who knew it was going to be the last video I made of Camron? Who knew that?" he said, tears streaming down his face.
Camron loved playing sports, and was a wide receiver for the Brooklyn Skyhawks and played basketball for the Flatbush Youth Association.
Neighbors said the youngster and his dad were always together.
"He was a very good father. Anywhere you see him, you see the son," said Marlin Fraser, 47, who lived next door to the family before they moved to Piscataway about two years ago.
Camron was a "very respectful child" who would always say hello when he walked past, she said.
"He was a very nice child," she added. "It's shocking for us."

A quarter of a century ago, it used to be a long haul to travel from Tokyo to Hakodate, the gateway to Hokkaido. After traveling the better part of a day by train to the tip of Honshu island, you had to board a ferry for the 4-hour journey onward to Hakodate. But then came the Seikan Tunnel in 1988 and the opening of an underwater rail line between the two islands. You can now travel from Tokyo all the way to Hakodate by train in about six hours and to Sapporo in about 10.
Still, I always like to begin my Hokkaido adventure with an overnight stopover in Hakodate. In addition to a famous nighttime attraction and an early morning must-see, Hakodate boasts historic districts I love to explore. Indeed, with its old-fashioned streetcars, waterfront brick warehouses now housing restaurants and shops, and broad sloping streets lined with turn-of-the-20th-century Western-style clapboard homes, former embassies and churches, Hakodate retains the atmosphere of a frontier port town. Maybe that's why more than 60 movies have been filmed here in as many years. For young Japanese, Hakodate is irresistibly romantic.
One of the most romantic spots is atop Mount Hakodate, 1,100 feet high and accessible from the city center in just three minutes via cable car. Although the view of Hakodate's lights shimmering like jewels on black velvet is impressive, what I most like about the experience is the camaraderie among viewers and the collective oohs and ahs of arriving newcomers (take note: it's chilly at the top, even in August).
The next morning I always get up early to walk through the morning market, conveniently located right next to the train station and famous for its huge crabs. Motomachi, with its churches, former administrative buildings, and vintage homes, is another great place for a stroll, as is the nearby warehouse district with its shopping and dining opportunities. If time permits, you might also wish to take in the Hokkaido Museum of Northern Peoples with its Ainu artifacts and the Seikan Ferry Memorial Mashu-maru, which chronicles the history of ferry transportation between Honshu and Hokkaido from 1908 to 1988.
The Seikan Tunnel made the ferry obsolete. On my last 30-minute trip through the tunnel, the train made a brief stop in the middle, which puzzled me to no end (who would be getting on or off here?) and made me hope I wouldn't have to follow the lit signs showing which way to run in an emergency. The conductor later cleared up the mystery for me: the train, which was running ahead of schedule, had stopped so it would arrive in Hakodate exactly on time.
An extension of the train from Tokyo to Hakodate will allow commuters to spend half the amount of time it takes now, at 3 hours and 12 minutes. Although the train is unquestionably faster and more dependable, I sometimes miss the days of the ferry, when unpredictable weather patterns, vistas of open seas, and passenger rooms filled with families, noisy tour groups, and business travelers made getting to Hokkaido as much of an adventure as being there.

The sharp flavour of mint sauce with roast lamb once helped counteract the fattiness of mutton in the days when mutton was more easily available than lamb. Many people still prefer roast lamb served with mint sauce to any other way. Use fresh mint leaves whenever possible as they provide a flavour that cannot be matched with dried leaves.
Finely chop the mint leaves with 1 teaspoon sugar. Place in sauceboat or bowl and add boiling water. This will set the colour. Stir in remaining sugar, vinegar and salt and let mint sauce stand for 1 hour before serving to let flavours develop.

Hop Kee
21 Mott St Bsmt
Restaurants Hop Kee
Downstairs dining with some delicious Cantonese food that draws out the locals and the gourmands alike.
Chinatown Description
Hop Kee is located in the Chinatown neighborhood of Manhattan. Concentrated below Canal Street and populated mostly by Cantonese speakers, the diversity of the new Chinatown reflects large-scale immigration from Fujian province and Taiwan, as well as an influx of Mandarin speakers from the interior provinces of China. In addition, some Vietnamese and a few Tibetans, Malaysians, and Cambodians have made this area in Lower Manhattan home in recent years. As much of what nominally was Little Italy was taken over by fruit and vegetable wholesalers, small restaurants, printing shops, and other businesses catering to the community, more apartment-building conversions and turnovers occurred. Even the stodgy restaurant supply stores and lighting showrooms on the Bowery are being transformed as change brings a fresh new face to some of lower Manhattan's most eclectic real estate.
A shopper and food lover's mecca, you can find nearly anything on Canal Street, from stereo equipment to fresh fish to jewelry to industrial art supplies. It is truly one of America's most dizzying arrays of products available on one street. Head to one of the small bakeries for a snack, a Vietnamese restaurant for a large bowl of beef soup noodles, a large dim sum restaurant for a great variety of dishes, or a seafood place for great right-from-the-tank fish. Then enjoy some of the great flavors at the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory. Also visit the Museum of Chinese in the Americas, which offers fascinating exhibits that chronicle the history of this community. We've got an entire walking tour of Canal Street and Chinatown that has many more terrific highlights.
You'll find terrific new hotels awaiting you in Chinatown as well, some located on the fringes of the adjacent, swankier neighborhood of SoHo. There's the well-known Holiday Inn Manhattan Downtown/SoHo on Lafayette Street just above Canal Street, the Hotel Azure just below Canal, and the Best Western Bowery Hanbee nearby on Grand Street.
In addition to the explosive growth of Manhattan's Chinatown, largely thanks to the tremendous economic expansion of China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, two rival Chinatowns, one in Brooklyn, the other in Queens, have emerged. You can hitch a ride out to those Chinatowns on one of the many shuttle vans that go for $1-$2 from a number of street corners near the Manhattan Bridge.

In fact, knowing that you have taken action on the change effort you are leading (our topic in September) may feel like an opportunity to shift your energy away from the change. Yet, the reality we all face, without continued effort and reinforcement, humans struggle to truly adopt the new habits and behaviors required to succeed after the change has been implemented.
Even changing simple habits requires more work and takes longer than we think. I know I am still struggling to write this blog every Wednesday morning and we have been at it for nearly two years! Traditional wisdom used to suggest that it took 21 days to learn a simple habit. More recent research indicates that number is a myth and even simple behavior changes require about 61 days. The changes in behaviors, activities, mindsets and culture we are asking our people to make at work likely will take even longer!
During October we will be writing about different ways for leaders to reinforce the new normal after you have implemented a change. Yes, as a leader you do need to keep moving forward, while ensuring the sustainability of your change effort.

Changes to the website have been constant, if subtle. Full album streams are now available for most Ownlife Records releases in the store. I'm still trying to decide if this will be permanent. While I do partake in digital music, I always liked to maintain a sense of mystery in the releases along with the excitement and anticipation that comes with mail order. For this reason, I usually do not post full streams. But for now, listen, enjoy, and share. Pre-orders for Fan Dance Party by The Havok on Polaris have been posted. Additionally, expect an EP of theirs to finally see the light of day after years of hibernation and ripening. Plenty of distro items are still waiting to be added to the store as well and likely some artwork or other non-music items. Finally, I'm dabbling with the idea of an Ownlife Records & Company trading card set with cards for bands and individual band members. How intricate these will be and whether one will be able to play an actual game with them is still up in the air. Beyond that, I am hoping the R&D wing of Ownlife Records will have something to show for itself soonish. I'm currently a bit stuck learning about brains and dead languages. I'll try not to let that hang me up for long.

Think of summer and you may not instantly think of soup… but try one of our favourite recipes, and you'll soon be slurping in the sunshine! From luxurious Fennel and Almond to homely Italian Minestrone, our summer soup recipes are good enough to get you in the kitchen – even if it's smouldering outside!
High summer in Britain's most productive time: you can choose from a huge range of produce, and the diversity means that prices come down at local grocers, too. Get the kids shelling peas and make a fresh pea and mint soup – perfect served cold or hot, with a gremolata (raw garnish) of lemon zest and parsley on the top. Or press your vegetable patch into a full-of-goodness Gazpacho: a blended soup of salad ingredients with red vinegar, which gives you a healthy boost of energy. With new potatoes and spring onions ready to go, try making a light version of Vichysoisse by softening lots of spring onions in butter, adding diced potato and good stock, and blending before finishing with cream and serving cold.
Other summer seasonal vegetables include radish, beetroot, new carrots, fennel, aubergine, courgette, garlic, summer squash, and oriental greens – and every crop has a range of soup recipes to go with it. Mix and match your favourite vegetables and herbs, and try creating one of your own: how about carrot and fennel, or squash and sweet potato?
This is a fine soup, with a subtle flavour, that is good served in small bowls – a nice dinner-party starter.
First, prepare the fennel bulbs: remove any discoloured outer pieces and slice the rest, discarding the feathery green shoots (which can be chopped and used to garnish, if you like). Wash then finely chop the celery. Melt the butter in a large saucepan.
Put the fennel and celery into the saucepan and stir until the pieces are coated with butter. Cover with a lid and let the vegetables sweat very gently for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and stir in the ground almonds, cook for one more minute, then pour in the vegetable stock. Simmer for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are soft. Cool slightly before liquidising thoroughly. Now taste the soup and season if required. Serve warm, with a swirl of cream and a few almonds in each bowl.
Minestrone is a classic summer soup. It calls for lots of seasonal summer vegetables - but don't stick strictly to the recipe - this can be adapted to whatever you have available.
Warm the olive oil in a wide pan and soften the onion, garlic and celery. When it's translucent, add the courgettes, peas, and beans and stir for another minute. Pour in the hot stock and bring to a gentle simmer; cook until the beans are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the borlotti beans, tomatoes, and pasta, and cook for a further 3-4 minutes (or until the pasta is just cooked). Remove one cup of the soup and puree in a blender, then stir it back in. Stir in the pesto and taste for seasoning.
Serve, topped with a swirl of olive oil, shavings of Parmesan, and extra pesto to stir in, if liked.


Key Vote "No" on H.R. 4872 - the "Reconciliation Act of 2010"
On behalf of hundreds of thousands of FreedomWorks members nationwide, I urge you to VOTE NO on H.R. 4872, the Reconciliation Act of 2010. The reconciliation bill being debated in the Senate makes the terrible health care legislation recently enacted even worse with more job killing tax hikes, harsher penalties, and new government bureaucracies.
The reconciliation bill also builds a massive new student loan bureaucracy by taking over the private aspects of the student loan industry. This move will put tens of thousands of Americans out of work in the private sector and adds more government employees that the shrinking private sector must pay for. And, this shift is supposed to happen by next semester, so students and families can expect to feel the overbearing costs of bigger government almost immediately.
A look at the proposed "fix" to the special deal given to Nebraska to ensure the vote of Senator Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) reveals a far worse outcome for taxpayers. True, Nelson's state no longer gets its sweetheart deal, but the new formula used to allocate Medicaid funding leaves federal taxpayers responsible for covering 90 percent of the cost of the Medicaid expansion for every state. It also includes special Medicaid funding increases for 17 states and Washington D.C. It's a sweetheart deal for everyone—except taxpayers, who will have to pick up the tab.
Also, when combined with the effects of the healthcare reform bill that has already been signed into law, the reconciliation bill would increase taxes by $569 billion. The worst of these tax hikes include a hike from 15 to 24 percent on capital gains and a hike from 15 to 43 percent on dividends. This is one of the most anti-job, anti-growth tax increases imaginable because it hits business owners who create jobs and it makes it harder for them to raise the extra money needed to expand. Taxing the reward those who risk their savings by investing may—or may not—get only discourages such growth-creating activities. Under the reconciliation bill, businesses will also be hit with harsher penalties for not abiding by the government enforced employee mandate. The bill raises the penalty on employers from $750 per uncovered employee to $2,000 per uncovered employee.
As bad as these individual aspects of the reconciliation bill is the fact that it is being used to elude the will of the American people. Senate Democratic leaders know the voters have taken away their 60 vote filibuster-proof majority, so they are using "reconciliation" to nullify voter intent—and obvious public opposition. Time and time again, the public has rejected these very proposals. This past summer, citizens packed into town hall meetings to speak out against such ideas. On September 12th, they flooded Pennsylvania Ave. to voice their opposition. On November 5th, they filled the halls of Congress, asking their Representatives to stop ignoring their concerns. On January 19th, the people of Massachusetts cast what was framed as the deciding vote against the healthcare reforms this bill helped pass. They have written letters, made phone calls, sent emails and organized protests to let lawmakers know: WE DON'T WANT THIS. Using the process of budget reconciliation to pass legislation that the public has rejected is unconscionable. It distorts the congressional process set up by our founding fathers and brings shame to the once honored position of U.S. Senator.
