GOP officials aren't talking about Christie with the same enthusiasm as last year.
At RNC, general good will for Christie
By KATIE GLUECK
Updated 01/24/2014 12:03 AM EST
Last August, Gov. Chris Christie received a rock star reception at a Republican National Committee meeting in Boston, where he delivered a powerful stemwinder and sparked intense speculation about his 2016 presidential plans.
The RNC's winter meeting held this week in Washington unfolded under very different circumstances. In a series of interviews on Thursday, state party chairmen and national committee members expressed varying degrees of concern and enthusiasm for the New Jersey Republican in the wake of a traffic jam scandal and other allegations rocking his administration.
Christie did not attend the event, and as it got under way, the U.S. attorney's office in New Jersey issued subpoenas to the governor's reelection campaign and the New Jersey state Republican Party in connection with the traffic scandal.

"Obviously everyone's concerned about where we're at on this thing," said Saul Anuzis, former chairman of the Michigan GOP. "Christie's been considered a top-tier candidate by a lot of people."
He added: "I think he remains a tier 1 candidate until this potential crisis is figured out one way or another. If he's vindicated, it could help him. If [it] is found he is actually involved in a coverup, this hurts him even more so than what happened."
Christie has denied any personal involvement in the traffic jam scandal, in which some of his aides and appointees allegedly shut down traffic lanes near the George Washington Bridge as part of a political vendetta against a Democratic mayor.
Since the traffic scandal escalated earlier this month, other Democrats have also come forth with claims of undue political pressure from Christie's office, including involving the disbursement of hurricane relief aid. The bombshell controversies have taken a toll on Christie's poll numbers just months after a resounding reelection victory, and they cast a dark shadow over his inauguration on Tuesday.

"It definitely took a lot of air out his balloon," Missouri GOP Chairman Ed Martin said of how the stories are playing out. "Look, when Chris Christie came to Boston he was the ascendant guy, right? I mean he gave a great speech, he was rolling to victory and [when it comes to] this, it's a black eye. There's no doubt about it."
Delaware GOP state Chairman Charlie Copeland acknowledged that Christie was generating less excitement now than he did at the previous meeting — but noted that then, he was in the midst of a gubernatorial contest.
"I think there's not as much buzz, but it's also after an election," Copeland said, adding that he hasn't "heard anyone say one word" that's negative about Christie.
Several people interviewed noted that while Christie was frequently discussed as a leading candidate prior to the scandal, it was always premature to call him the presumptive GOP nominee. RNC members stressed that there's a long roster of possible 2016 Republican contenders, with a number of those interviewed pointing specifically to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, among others.
Bill Palatucci, New Jersey's GOP committeeman and a longtime confidant of Christie's, maintained that he hadn't been asked much at the meeting about the drama swirling in the state.
( Also on POLITICO: Ryan doesn't want to be House speaker)
"People here, my fellow members, have been very supportive," he said.
Others at the conference dismissed the whole scandal as a non-issue.
"I think if he's innocent, which I hope he is, I think it's a big to-do about nothing," said Steve Scheffler, the deeply conservative RNC committeeman from Iowa.
Scheffler added that other issues — Christie's support for a DREAM Act in New Jersey, for example, and his more moderate approach to gay marriage, among others — would be much bigger problems in Iowa should Christie run.
He has long been viewed skeptically by conservative activists, though in light of relentless media coverage, some have rallied around him.
( Also on POLITICO: Immigration back on GOP's agenda)
Pat Mullins, chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia, broke into another conversation to argue vehemently that the media were paying far too much attention to tearing down Christie and not enough to the questions surrounding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
And in some corners, Christie earned plaudits for the way he handled the immediate aftermath of what's been dubbed Bridgegate. Some GOP leaders pointed to the lengthy news conference Christie held following the traffic scandal revelations — in which he dismissed some longtime aides — as evidence of strong leadership.
"The governor is taking the issue head on," said South Carolina GOP Chairman Matt Moore. "He obviously got rid of the people responsible — obviously that was the right thing to do. As it relates to South Carolina in particular, people like a politician who takes challenges and problems head-on."
He added that Christie struck the right balance between taking charge and showing remorse.
"He's maybe even gained new respect from people in the way he's attacked this issue," Moore said. "You could see it in his eyes, the true sadness he felt for not only New Jersey but his staff, too."

Extremely drunk or passed out from excessive drinking. The phrase suggests that one was too intoxicated to remember to take one's shoes off before getting into bed. You were in bed with your boots on when I got home—how hungover are you today?


There are very few details yet, but it seems not long ago, there was a shooting at a Quebec City mosque. One report says there are 5 dead. This happened in Quebec City, which is in the province of Quebec in Canada. In total there are about 250,000 Muslims in the province of Quebec out of a total of about 8.18 million, or about 3%.
Quebec was once the hub of Canadian Catholicism, but since the 60s, Quebec has turned strongly against the Church. There was a massive revolt. It's so bad that most Quebecois swear words are words from Catholicism, such as references to the tabernacle, the wounds of Christ, the chalice of Holy Communion and more.
Let's hope this incident is now over.


Here's another image from the Bidwell Park series. I love taking pictures in fog, so when I looked out the window this day and saw the fog, I grabbed my camera and headed for the park. This scan is not the best, but if you look carefully, you can see what caught my eye: the contrast between the shrub in the lower right corner, the green cliffs and rocks, and the foggy trees at the top. This image was created with the Mamiya RB67.

Q: LineSegment.IsStroked missing in UWP In Wpf you can
<Path Stroke="White" Fill="#50ffffff" StrokeThickness="2">
        <Path.Data>
            <PathGeometry>
                <PathFigure StartPoint="20,20">

            </PathGeometry>
        </Path.Data>
    </Path>

To get

Sadly in UWP there is no IsStroked property in the LineSegment class, is there any know workaround for this case?
Thanks

A: To overcome this limitation, you should be able to break down the Path into multiple Paths, skipping the areas without stroke. In the sample code, you could even keep it as a single Path by starting in the upper right corner and continuing counter-clockwise, ending in the lower right corner.
In more complex scenarios, having multiple Paths is a bit less clean than in WPF, but it should be a functional solution.

A: As long as there is only one gap, this should work too:
<Path Stroke="White" Fill="#50ffffff" StrokeThickness="2">
    <Path.Data>
        <PathGeometry>
            <PathFigure StartPoint="100,20" IsClosed="False">
                <LineSegment Point="20,20"/>
                <LineSegment Point="20,100"/>
                <LineSegment Point="100,100"/>
            </PathFigure>

President Morales replaced his production, environment and energy ministers. The changes take place following a failed attempt to raise fuel prices in the gas producing country, following the end of fuel subsidies at the end of last year causing the price of gas to rocket. Following major protests Morales has to reinstate the subsidies.
Sworn in as Morales' sixth energy minister, was Jose Luis Gutierrez, who had been deputy minister of industrialisation and hydrocarbons. Since he began his term in office Morales has nationalised the industry and raised taxes on foreign companies.
Gutierrez said he will maintain the government's line to secure state control over the industry.
Morales rectified Luis Arce as economy minister, in spite of criticism from union leaders and their demand that he be fired because of his role in the increase of fuel prices.
Bolivia has the second largest natural gas reserves in South America, after Venezuela and is the region's top exporter of the fuel.
According to the state run news agency Morales asked his cabinet for "compromise" and "sacrifice" as they took office.
Mr President Evo Morales here is the solution for the energy problems, higher tax on exports as well as a tariff for exporting it, taxes are good in America, here in Canada witch is a wealthy nation we pay 26% gas tax. wich brings me to ask what is the tax % Bolivians pay ????? I am sure that gas imported to Canada will have to pay 26% as well, why couldn't Bolivia tax the fuel the same way, I hope it's got nothing to do with Bias criteria from other nations, because if this is the case just cut off supply to natiohs who show discontent with Bolivian export taxes, there is no need to make trades with trouble makers.

Jim Rohn says, "you're the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with."
Quarantine was a scary time for a lot of people. It was scary for me as a gym owner. I was nervous about the future of our business, about the careers of our employees, and about the health of our members and friends.
Members were dropping, online fitness programs were booming, people were choosing to spend their money on elaborate home gyms, coaches were getting tired.
It wasn't nearly as long for us as it was for people in other places (thankfully), but the isolation had a profound effect on people.
We're not completely through the world event that this pandemic has caused, but people are understandably looking for their return to normal. People are looking for their return to community. People are returning to their book clubs, to their churches, and to their gyms.
People are looking to return to THEIR PEOPLE.
We've found ways to enjoy lots of things in new ways over the last year. But some things can't be replicated.
Some things are just different in person. The buzz of the energy. Your friends pushing you to new heights. Your coaches keeping you on track. Thinking that you couldn't possibly do another rep, but the people around you making sure that you do.
The smiles and confidence and encouragement that is like no other. The feeling you get from your tribe.
5am doesn't feel too early and 6pm doesn't feel too late, when you have those people. Your day to day tasks don't feel as insurmountable, when you have those people. Your accomplishments feel even greater, when you have those people.
There's something incredibly special about a group of people that suffer and sweat together.
Find your tribe.

Home Culture Music & Art Looe Street Detectives Sara Bowler
Looe Street Detectives Sara Bowler
Friday 2 February – Saturday 17 March
Private View: Thursday 1 February, 6-8pm. Sara Bowler will be in conversation with Plymouth Arts
Centre's Artistic Director Ben Borthwick at 7pm
Artist Sara Bowler is investigating the hidden histories of Plymouth Arts Centre's location in Looe Street, for a new exhibition opening in February 2018.
The Looe Street Detectives are a group of local residents, led by Bowler, who are exploring the influence of Plymouth Arts Centre over the past 70 years, and the people who have lived, worked in and visited the site throughout the last 500 years. Visitors are invited to explore the activities and lives of the previous occupants of Looe Street, and their impact on the wider world. The exhibition will contain a large timeline on which people are encouraged to share their own memories and anecdotes.
Plymouth Arts Centre's current location was once part of The Virginia House Settlement, a social welfare centre set up by Nancy Astor in the 1920s.
Looe Street Detective Pat Green, who has family connections with the area, said 'Virginia House played a very important part during the blitz as a shelter for those who had lost their homes, my family being one of the many families. My mother went onto the roof there and watched Plymouth burning with me in her arms.'
Plymouth Arts Centre was one of seven arts centres set up around the country in 1947 with funds from the newly established Arts Council of Great Britain. The artist, Beryl Cook had her first exhibition at Plymouth Arts Centre in 1975. Other artists who have held exhibitions in Plymouth Arts Centre include Patrick Heron, Tracey Emin, Allen Ginsberg, Tom Raworth, Peter Greenaway, Ralph Steadman, Vong Phaophanit, Richard Deacon, Andy Goldsworthy and Sir Terry Frost. Many emerging artists have exhibited in the galleries and gone on to become household names.
The Looe Street Detectives have discovered that Joyce Grenfell, comedian, actress and niece of Lady Astor, visited Plymouth Arts Centre in 1950 to promote her film, The Happiest Days of Your Life.
The Detectives have also unearthed fascinating insights into the people and events that made up this part of Plymouth through the centuries. 38 Looe Street was once part of a pub called The Pope's Head, which was frequented by Thomas Dunckerley, the illegitimate son of George III. Dr Samuel Johnson and Sir Joshua Reynolds also visited the inn in 1762.
Research is central to Bowler's artistic practice. She investigates how evidence of former use and occupation of places resonates through time. Drawn to ordinary looking places - buildings, streets,fields - she is curious about their histories, wondering what has happened there and what evidence remains. This exhibition is the third incarnation of the Looe Street Detectives project begun in 2013.
The show will be accompanied by film screenings in the cinema referencing Plymouth Arts Centreand other organisations connected to the site and will be supported by a programme of activitiesand talks, including from local historian, Chris Robinson.
With generous support from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Q: ToolbarManager not focusable I have an application where I have a toolbarmanager on the bottom of the screen to control which screen is shown. The toolbar works great for touch but it is not focusable. I tried creating it with focusable style but no luck.
So far I tried:
tbm=new ToolbarManager(Manager.FOCUSABLE);
Additional details:
Now when I try to add FOCUSABLE to the ToolbarButtonField the whole toolbar disappears. Not sure why that is happening.
Any ideas?

A: You can't set a focus to a manager, you'll have to set the focus for the fields inside it. Now for the ToolbarManager, you can use the ToolbarButtonField and set him to focus, so the manager will get focused.
You can solve it by using the following.
    ToolbarManager mana = new ToolbarManager();
    ToolbarButtonField test = new ToolbarButtonField(){
        public boolean isFocusable() {
            return true;
        }

        protected void onFocus(int direction) {
            super.onFocus(direction);
            invalidate();
        }

        protected void onUnfocus() {
            super.onUnfocus();
            invalidate();
        }
    };
    test.setText(new StringProvider("AAAA"));
    mana.add(test);
    add(mana);


Take the trip of a lifetime to the rolling Périgord region of France, which vintners, farmers and craftsmen have called home for centuries. Here, Calgary culinary centre Cuisine et Château hosts the purest food experiences France has to offer under the expert guidance of Marnie Fudge and Thierry Meret, food devotees, chefs, instructors and caring guides.
Cuisine et Château offers an all-inclusive seven-day luxury tour of southwestern France and its incredible world of food, wine and culture — where you'll learn cooking skills that will last a lifetime. Spend time exploring markets famous for foie gras, walnuts, truffles and goat cheese, and learn how to make pastries, prepare fish and make duck confit in hands-on cooking classes. Impress friends at home with your new cheese making knowledge learned at an authentic French fromagerie. Hike, bike, relax by the pool or simply enjoy the sanctuary of the estate. The experience is yours to create.
No tour of France would be complete without a celebration of wine. Tour the Bergerac wine region and discover its five main varietals. Meet winemaker David Fourtout's amazing team and taste some of the best wines his ninth-generation winery has to offer. Develop your sense of taste and depth of understanding and return home with a new love for the flavours of this one-of-a-kind region.
The 2016 tour dates coincide with the Périgord "pourpre," which is French for purple. Why is this part of the Périgord so purple? The wine, of course! The area produces outstanding and undervalued wines. Here, the knights of Bergerac, known as "Chevaliers," defend their winemaking tradition dressed in purple robes and wearing the symbolic medallion of their lifelong commitment to the terroir. This "Brotherhood of The Golden Grape" gathers to celebrate its historic craft, sometimes recognizing individuals responsible for elevating global appreciation for this wine region. Last June, Marnie Fudge of Cuisine et Château became a Knight of the Brotherhood, united with all those who promise to promote the nectar of the "Périgord Pourpre." Who better to guide you on this palate-pleasing adventure?
For a private consultation with the chefs/guides of the tour, call Cuisine et Chateau's Interactive Culinary Centre to make arrangements.
Package price includes airport transfers, accommodations, meals, daily cooking classes, wine, tours, tastings and (of course) your bicycle rental.


The St George Illawarra Dragons announced on Friday the re-signing of international winger Jason Nightingale that will see him remain at the Club until at least the end of the 2017 season.
The local Renown United junior made his first-grade debut for the Dragons against the Penrith Panthers in round 8 of the 2007 season and has played 189 NRL games to date.
Nightingale, 28, has additionally represented the New Zealand Kiwis on 25 occasions and was winner of the prestigious Dragons Medal for the Club's 'Player of the Year' in 2011.
"I am really excited to stay for another two years, I would love to finish my career here at the Dragons as a one-club player and this contract goes a long way towards giving me that opportunity," said Nightingale.
"I am really happy here at the Dragons and have to give a lot of credit to both my teammates and the Coaching Staff for the position and environment that we have here at the Club.
"It is something that I want to continue to be a part of and I want to be a part of the future.
"I would also like to thank our loyal Red V Members and fanbase who have shown nothing but support over the years."
Dragons Director of Recruitment and Retention Peter Mulholland is likewise happy by the re-signing of Nightingale.
"Everybody associated with the Dragons is pleased that we have been able to come to an arrangement that will see Jason remain for at least a further two seasons," said Mulholland.


A popular infusion in South America, Yerba Mate boosts energy levels without the jitteriness associated with coffee.
Maté (Ilex paraguariensis) is a stimulating plant that is historically and culturally very important in South America. Here it is commonly drunk as an infusion known as "chimarrão" or "tererê", and it is now beginning to grow in popularity in both Europe and across the US. As scientific research on the effects of maté accumulates, the herb's stimulating benefits are increasingly being recognised as is its ability to improve cognitive functions and enhance short-term memory.

Our Charity Gala for the Ocean raises 8,100 euros
The Charity Gala organised by Can Bordoy Grand House & Garden and Save The Med Foundation on Friday 13th December was a huge success that exceeded all expectations. Not only for the number of guests that participated, with more than 60 people in attendance, but also for the amount raised through the entrance ticket and the charity auction that formed part of the evening's festivities. The gala raised the grand total of 8,100 euros, and the entire proceeds will be donated to the Medtop – Animal Oceanographers project. The auction is still open for those who couldn't attend the gala.
Both Mikael Hall, the owner of Can Bordoy Grand House & Garden, and Bradley Robertson, co-founder and president of Save The Med, thanked all of the participants for their assistance, and for their continued commitment to the conservation of the Mediterranean. They also highlighted the involvement of the auction's sponsors and collaborators, including local and international artists who gave their artworks, sculptures and design products to contribute to a worthy cause for sea turtles and other oceanographic animals.
According to Ricardo Sagarminaga, head of the Medtop Oceanographic Animals project: "Turtles and other marine animals help us better understand the marine environment, and in return we help them to regenerate their ecosystems, while respecting them at the same time. The Toftevaag is a marine research vessel with which turtles are tagged. It made 22 expeditions into the waters of the Cabrera National Park, the Menorca Canal and the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve this summer. These expeditions attached satellite tags on four turtles, allowing us to monitor and discover their behaviour and habits for their protection. With these four tags, Save The Med is maintaining the continuity of the most extensive satellite tagging program in Europe and the Mediterranean biogeographic region, with 68 tags attached since 2003. The goal for next summer is to continue tagging oceanographic animals and to reduce and curb the problem of ghost fishing."
The Foundation's projects, in particular Medtop Oceanographic Animals, were presented by Bradley Robertson, forming one of two of the evening's most emotional moments.
A menu with a message
The other emotive moment was the presentation of the Mediterranean Without Plastic dessert with which the chef of Botanic Restaurant at Can Bordoy, Andrés Benítez, wanted to add a statement for the gala dinner. He did so with a creative dish that carried an implicit message with the purpose of raising awareness, and surprising guests, by getting them to think about what the Mediterranean could become in a few years if, as stated by worldwide organisations, there is more plastic than fish in the ocean in 2050. For this reason, Benítez, known for his commitment to cuisine elaborated with organic and seasonal products, made a beautiful dessert covered by a type of plastic film that was made of sugar, which when uncovered showed how beautiful the seabed would be if we manage to free it of plastic.
In addition, Benítez wanted to emphasize the message of this charity gala by conveying a message in each dish about the value of the marine world, as well as our relationship with it. For example, the Marine Stones dish, made with fish normally discarded for their low commercial value, (generously donated by the Sóller Fishing Cooperative and Opamallorcamar), wanted to show that in an ecosystem, even the smallest and seemingly worthless pieces, play a part. Likewise, each dish served during the night was carefully prepared to tell a story of the sea, and enchant guests with the freshness of local and organic and sustainable fish, demonstrating the global benefits that a regenerated sea can produce.
About Save the Med
The mission of Save the Med Foundation, a non-profit organisation, is to enable the Mediterranean Sea to recover its rich biodiversity and prosper in harmony with environmentally conscious and proactive local communities. The Medtop Animals Oceanographers project by Save the Med aims to deepen knowledge of the habits and behaviour of sea turtles in order to contribute to their preservation.
About the "Medtop Oceanographic Animals" project
Medtop Animals Oceanographers is a pioneering project in Europe where data is collected from the satellite transmitters of tagged turtles (4 turtles in summer 2019). The tag's data form the core of a project that integrates biological data into the observation platform and atmospheric and oceanographic forecast of ICTS SOCIB.

Getting a car insurance is very important to you. However, most of the insurance policies are complicated and this is the reason why people have trusted all information they find about car insurance as gospel truth. These car insurance myths may make you commit mistakes that will end up costing you.
This is one of the most trusted myths by those seeking car insurance. A study surveyed one thousand drivers and the results were surprising. Of all the drivers surveyed, 25% believed that the color of their car is used to determine the premium rates.
However, this is a false statement. The color of your car does not affect anything. The insurance companies do not care whether your car is golden, black, red, blue or any other color. What really matters is the manufacture date, model, make the engine size and the body type of your car.
This is a myth. Only one speeding ticket will not affect your rates. however, if you are caught by the police more than three times speeding or if you are driving at a speed of more than 50km/h the recommended speed, then you will have to pay more.
It is not the work of the police to tell the insurance company whether or not you were responsible for the accident. The insurance company will conduct its own investigation and find out if it was your fault or not. Therefore, there is no need to celebrate early after the police find you with no wrongdoing as it is the insurance company that has the last word in your case.
The insurance company is interested in the activity of your car and not who was driving. Therefore, it is your policy then you will be held responsible for the accident. Therefore, you should be careful about who you give your car.
This is among the most trusted among all the car insurance myths. This is a myth that may end up costing you a lot. Just as we have different auto insurance companies their rates are also different and you may end up saving a lot of money if you do your own research. Patience is the key here and taking your time may make a huge difference.

Philly Luxury Real Estate
Old Bones, New Soul in Washington Square West
Philly News
PHOTO GALLERY HERE
We've seen modern makeovers of classic 18th- and 19th-century Philadelphia townhouses before, but it's been a long, long, long time since we've seen one as masterful as this one. If, indeed, we've ever seen one as masterful as this.
And it happened because its builder felt the neighborhood calling to him.
It was the summer of last year, and Maxim Capital CEO Max Bassman was looking for new projects to take on. "The neighborhood was the first thing that spoke to me," he says. "Then to find this kind of property in this neighborhood. The outdoor space is extremely unique in this part of the city, and the access to Clinton Street in the rear is unique as well."
Yes, this dignified home just west of Pennsylvania Hospital on Pine Street in Washington Square West backs onto one of the most prized residential streets in all Center City. And as the renderings you see here should make clear, it will be a prize in itself when it's finished sometime around December.
Bassman knew that in redoing this home, he wanted to retain its 19th-century soul but did not want to go the slavish faithful-restoration route in order to do so. "In Wash West and Society Hill, you have dime-a-dozen homes with all the original floors that creak, all the original moldings, all the period details," he says. "This home is modern through and through."
And yet it incorporates some elements of that traditional style, like the high ceilings and split-level floors characteristic of mid-19th-century Philadelphia townhomes. While the main floor is completely level, the upper floors remain staggered as they were.
Another unique feature of this home is its rear courtyard, which features a deck level with the kitchen, a raised fire pit, a grill and the passageway to Clinton Street. What makes it unique, says IT Properties Vice President Tarek Raslan, is that it offers total privacy: "There are no windows looking into the garden" from adjacent properties.
Did we mention details? Kristin Daly and Suzanne Johansson-Cawley, who lead the Daly Group / PhillyLuxury at Keller Williams Philly and is marketing this house, says, "Max doesn't overlook the details. Even the laundry room is an important space; it's already designed for usability. He has the foresight to see what people want so they don't have to do anything when they move in."
Well, almost. Bassman says he also creates spaces that owners can adapt to their own purposes. "I also don't want to dictate what people do with every space. For instance, there's a big open space on the fourth floor that could be used as a gym, a home office, a fifth bedroom, or something else," he says. "I just future-proofed it and the homeowner can figure out what to do with it."
Luxurious fittings and cutting-edge fixtures abound in this home. The basement, for instance, boasts a full wet bar with two Sub-Zero wine column storage units that hold 146 bottles each. It's also wired for a home theater with an 84-inch projection TV. There's recessed gallery-quality LED lighting throughout and a full home automation system that's also wired for security cameras.
This home also offers a roof deck on the fourth floor with a lovely view of the skyline and access to all the shops, restaurants, antique dealers and clubs that give Wash West its unique vibe right outside this one-of-a-kind oasis.
BEDS: 4 (optional 5)
BATHS: 4 full, 1 half
SQUARE FEET: 4,500 (approximate)
SALE PRICE: $2,495,000
OTHER STUFF: If you want a place to stash your car as well, the listing agent can offer you a deeded parking space in a 50-space garage a block and a half to the north on Ninth Street as part of the package. The space is being offered as a 99-year leasehold for $50,000 plus an annual fee of $1,500 that covers maintenance, insurance and a share of the property taxes. And, of course, this home will have its full 10-year tax abatement.

If you have decided to restore your smile with dental implants, it's important to understand what to expect during dental implant recovery. You are probably wondering: How much downtime will I need? What can I eat? What can I do at home to make certain that I heal properly? Dr. Robert F. Berger in Columbia, SC, explains everything you need to know in order to have a successful recovery.
You will need to keep gentle pressure on the surgical site by biting down on a piece of gauze. After an hour, you can begin changing the gauze every 30 to 45 minutes. This can usually stop after the first day of recovery.
Dr. Berger will prescribe pain medications for you to take at home. You can also apply an ice pack to the outside of your jaw to further control any discomfort.
In general, dental implant patients can expect to be able to return to non-strenuous work after two to three days.
You can expect to experience some post-treatment swelling and bleeding for five to seven days after your procedure. You may also experience dry mouth, sore throat, and stiff jaw muscles.
Until the incisions have healed, you should limit your diet to soft, cool foods such as yogurt, pasta, eggs, and soup. Try and avoid having your food contact the treatment site.
As the days go by, the discomfort, sensitivity, and swelling will subside. Contact the office right away if you experience side effects such as a fever, which could indicate an infection. In general, dental implant patients can expect to be able to return to non-strenuous work after two to three days.
As you heal, it is as important as ever to maintain your oral hygiene, but you must take special care near the surgical site. Brush slowly and carefully near the incisions. Twenty-four hours after your surgery, you should begin rinsing your mouth with a saltwater solution after every meal. Just mix a tablespoon of salt with 8 ounces of warm water. Gently swish it inside your mouth, then let the water fall into the sink - do not forcefully spit.
How Long Does Dental Implant Placement Recovery Take?
Complete recovery from dental implant surgery takes several months as the implant posts fuse with the bone tissue in a process called osseointegration. You will undergo regular checkups with your doctor in order to monitor your progress. Within three to six months, you should be ready for placement of your abutment piece, which will connect your restoration to your implant. The gums will need a couple of weeks to heal before you can receive your permanent restoration.
As a fellow of the International Congress of Implantology who has decades of experience placing and restoring dental implants, Dr. Berger is uniquely qualified to coordinate and perform every stage of your treatment. You can depend on him to provide the guidance you need in order to experience the very best benefits of dental implants. Contact the Berger Dental Group to set up your next appointment by messaging either of their offices online or calling (803) 787-9793.

Literature is closing — what questions should we migrate here?
Our sister site Literature Stack Exchange is shutting down on May 4th due to a lack of activity.
There is some overlap between the two sites: written SF is on-topic on both. So there are questions on Literature that could be migrated here and remain on the Internet.
What questions should we request? Obvious candidates are found on the science-fiction and fantasy tags. There are SF questions without these tags too; in particular, look for tags that are SF authors' names. Note however that not all questions are suitable to be migrated; in particular, Literature allows recommendation requests whereas we do not.
I propose to list migration candidates here so we can discuss them, then point a Literature moderator at this thread before the site closes.
discussion status-completed migration
user56user56
Well the good news is we only have a little over 400 questions to look through. – OghmaOsiris Apr 25 '12 at 22:07
Note: this post refers to the OLD Literature SE, which closed down in 2012. The NEW Literature SE is alive and well as of 2018. – Rand al'Thor♦ Jan 23 '18 at 11:50
These are the candidates the lit mods have identified for a possible move over here. We tried to keep it to the higher-quality questions. Please hit me up on chat if you have any questions!
Why is the timeline of Catch-22 all messed up?
Even at the beginning of the book the events in Catch-22 are not in chronological order; instead they are mixed up in a seemingly random order. ...
What is the first SF-story?
I know that defining a genre like science fiction is hard, it's borders are no fine line. So I'm happy with an answer that says: if you count this book to sf it was first, otherwise this other book.
What is the best order to read the discworld novels?
I know there is some level of continuity between the discworld books by Terry Pratchett despite the fact that they are not published in order. I would also love suggestions on what series to start with; ie. the Rincewind books or the city watch books etc?
Why does each volume in the Lord of the Rings contain two books?
In the His Dark Materials trilogy, what is Dust?
What are some novels that detail the re-emergence of civilization after some catastrophic event?
(Pretty sure you don't take book recommendations, so this one is probably no good.)
I'm looking for novels dealing with building a new world long after civilization is wiped out. Not the typical post-apocalyptic story about the surviving remnant, like Emberverse, but a long-term "history" where there is little to nothing left of the old world and civilization has started again from scratch.
How long did Marvin the robot live?
In The Hitchhicker's Guide trilogy, Marvin ends up living for a very long time. How long does he live before he finally dies?
In Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", is Deckard a replicant?
I have watched different versions the movie and read the book a number of times, and I still can't decide: was Deckard a replicant? ...
Recommended order for the Larry Niven "of Worlds" books?
I just finished Larry Niven's Destroyer of Worlds then picked up Betrayer of Worlds and Fleet of Worlds at the library. A quick check of the dust jacket synopsis doesn't clue me in as to which order I should read them in, and since they are both prequels to Ringworld, I'm not sure the publishing date is a sure indicator of the story's timeline. What order should I read them in?
In C.S. Lewis' Narnia stories, how was "Calormen/Calormene" originally pronounced?
I grew up pronouncing them "CAL-er-men" and "CAL-er-mean", but I've increasingly heard "cuh-LOR-men" for both instead, which I like better. Did C. S. Lewis ever say which he used, or does someone (such as Douglas Gresham, his step-son) remember him pronouncing the words?
Harry Dresden Item Descriptions
I am working on creating a Harry Dresden costume. As such, I need the descriptions from the series for the following items (I can't find them): Silver rings Blasting Rod Staff Shield Bracelet Bob's Skull (I think it's just a basic skull, not sure though) ...
What happened in the 7th level?

In the Dresden Files, how did Harry's dad die?
I was researching the Dresden Files, and I know that the TV series doesn't follow the books very well. One subject was Harry's father and his death. In the books, how did Harry's dad die?
What is the earliest literary appearance of zombies?
I guess I have no doubt that zombies are part of the human imagination, and that they would simply spring up in our dreams even if we'd never heard of them. But I'd still like to know what the earliest known written appearance of the zombie is. I want to know if it was in a short story, someone's diary, an historical account, et cetera. Someone must have studied this, right?
What are the major themes in Foundation?
I'm not very good at discerning themes from books, but one of the ones that I picked up from Foundation went something like this: "a culture that stops learning is doomed to fail." What major themes exist in Foundation?
Average lifespan of a demigod in Percy Jackson & The Olympians
How long can demigods live? Daedalus lived for thousands of years... by making a discovery for immortality, like Nicholas Flamel? Circe lived for thousands of years... by using magic? Or is she a minor god? Anyone else?
In what order should Tolkien's writings on Middle-earth be read?
I've already read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, which I assume would be the best start in any case. I also got about halfway through The Silmarillion several years ago and am quite familiar with the legendarium as a whole, but for the sake of argument let's assume I'm starting from scratch. What is the best order for a budding scholar of Middle-earth to read Tolkien's books?

Which of Steve Perry's novels prominently feature the "Siblings of the Shroud"?
I know there is a list on Wikipedia of the books in the "Matador series", but I'm primarily interested in the society/pseudo-religion "The Siblings of the Shroud" explored mainly in "The 97th Step". Has this group appeared as anything more than cameos in any of his other books?
In S. M. Stirling's Emberverse series, is it ever revealed what actually caused "The Change"?
I have only read one book in the series, "Dies the Fire", but found myself frustrated that the underlying cause of "The Change" was not revealed and thus did not continue with the series. Is the cause ever revealed? If so, in which book?
What is the chronological reading order for following the character "Drizzt" in the Forgotten Realms series of books?

Kilby asserts that The Lord of the Rings joins the high art of the world in revealing the significance, even the glory, of the ordinary At the same time, in his 1966 paper "The Moral Universe of J. R. R. Tolkien," David M. Miller declares that it rejects the minutia of every day life Are these two viewpoints necessarily contradictory?

I like this list but don't think "What are the major themes in Foundation?" would be a good fit here. We don't have much analysis on this site, and it usually devolves into a bunch of 'me too!' answers. – user1027 Apr 25 '12 at 20:27
Thanks! Most look good (but I haven't checked for duplicates). The ones that don't: How is Catch-22 SF? LOTR books is well-covered on WP, we'd close as general reference. First SF story is non-constructive. Discworld order: not sure, we already have one. – user56 Apr 25 '12 at 20:39
Since your comment has a bunch of upvotes, I'll go ahead with the migration according to those recommendations. I would say the Discworld questions are different enough to coexist, but I'll wait for a more solid decision before moving that one. – ladenedge Apr 26 '12 at 14:34
@Gilles: "LOTR books is well-covered on WP.." - does this include the order of Tolkien's Middle Earth books question? – ladenedge Apr 26 '12 at 14:44
@ladenedge No, I we'd close the 6 volumes question as GR. The reading order question is fine. As for the Discworld question, I am involved in it, so please let others chime in. – user56 Apr 26 '12 at 20:12
Is there a reason we don't engage in more analysis here? It is proscribed or is it preferred we only research materials that have been written about before and quote them as authoritative or canon? – Thaddeus Howze♦ Apr 27 '12 at 17:25
Suggested edits not allowed here. :( @ladenedge, could you please make this a Community Wiki so that people can gradually fix up the links? I found the "How long did Marvin live" question. All the links are broken, not just that one. – Wildcard Jan 23 '18 at 2:31

Is this one too book-recommendationy?
I am a fan of "The Machine Stops" by Forster (1909) but was wondering if there are any dystopian stories from even earlier than 1909?
In the Dragonlance series of books, which are considered canonical?
This massive list chronicles all of the published Dragonlance books. When I was younger I read many of them, including the Preludes and Preludes II sets, as well as the Chronicles Trilogy. I've even read the set that has Caramon travel back and forward in time, though I don't remember which those are.
Which Star Wars book series takes place immediately after Episode 6?
Having read very little Star Wars fiction, yet being a fan of the series, I've decided after watching a Star Wars marathon of all of the movies that I'd start reading the novels to continue the story. Which book/series should I start with to continue the adventures of Luke Skywalker and company?
Skip both of the Undecideds, one is book recommendation, the other has a dupe here. – user1027 May 1 '12 at 15:00
@Gilles I couldn't find the dupe for the Dragonlance question. I found two reading order questions, but no duplicate. – Kalamane May 3 '12 at 22:18
@Keen see Kalamane's comment. What's the dupe? – user56 May 3 '12 at 22:25
@Gilles Admittedly, I don't read Dragonlance books, but this answer to the reading order question seemed to cover the ground thoroughly of things that are canon. It goes the extra mile and mentions that some things are ret-conned by later books. – user1027 May 3 '12 at 22:56
@Keen Thanks. I feel that canonicity is not very well-defined anyway (making the question non-constructive) when there isn't a clear central authority (which to my uninformed eye Dragonlance doesn't have). – user56 May 3 '12 at 23:05

Thanks for taking the time to organize all of this, btw - it's great that you're welcoming all of these questions! – ladenedge May 2 '12 at 3:25

A question I asked (https://literature.stackexchange.com/questions/1279/almost-hard-science-fiction-with-magic-or-hard-science-fantasy) was closed here, had four votes to reopen, then was migrated, and got some additional good answers. I'd like to see it back here, but I understand if it's too list-like.

it's a book recommendation question, whiuch is off-topic on sci-fi – DForck42 May 2 '12 at 17:14
@DForck42 - There was some discussion in the comments (now deleted) about whether or not this type of recommendation (which one could view as genre identification) was or was not problematic. It's definitely not a "please tell me your favorite cyberpunk books" type of question. I understand if it's not migrated, but I don't think it's clearly of the type that the "no book recommendations" rule is meant to limit. – Rex Kerr May 2 '12 at 17:29
It's more of a subgenre definition question, which we also have a blanket ban of in our faq (because they all turned out to be sterile arguments about which label to apply to which work). – user56 May 2 '12 at 20:03
@Gilles - It's somewhere in between, but I agree that being between two types of question neither of which is particularly acceptable is not a good formula for an acceptable question. – Rex Kerr May 2 '12 at 20:19

It would make for a better workflow if the flaggers posted on this thread instead of flagging. If it's a crowd you know, could you ask them to post here instead? – user56 Apr 27 '12 at 20:37
They all look ok (except that I haven't checked for duplicates), except for one list question which is a definite no, and I'm not sure about the Arthur one. But please wait for other eyes (give us at least one day) before migrating anything. – user56 Apr 27 '12 at 20:45
1 is a sort of dupe of a scifi question asking for reading order. 4 is a list question, so don't migrate it. I'm skeptical that 6 will work here given its subjective nature. The rest look good to me. – user1027 Apr 27 '12 at 20:49
@Keen Actually the creation myth one isn't a list question. It's very sublte but they're actually asking if and which creation myths Tolkien based his story off of. It just needs to be edited to read as such instead of a list question (TML's answer is very good) – DForck42 Apr 27 '12 at 21:05
@DForck42 While it may not use the exact words 'list some examples of X', it is asking for exactly that, and that's what its answers have provided. – user1027 Apr 27 '12 at 21:09
@Keen The creation myth question is asking about what inspired Tolkien. Two of the answers are non-answers (not related to Tolkien), we'd remove them if Lit doesn't remove them first. But the question is a good one, and on-topic here. It is not a list question at all (the title could use an edit to make this clear). I think it should be migrated. – user56 May 1 '12 at 18:09
@DForck42 Can you re-migrate the creation myth one? – user1027 May 1 '12 at 18:32
@keen completed ;) – DForck42 May 1 '12 at 18:37
Since we're reconsidering things (coughcough), I'd still like to see the Arthur question migrated. "Definitive" may be a problematic word (though I don't personally think it is with regard to the Arthur legend), but the excellent answer (hah) does have some academic backup. Either way, thanks for the consideration. :-) – ladenedge May 2 '12 at 3:24
