Maintain your Oral Health with Routine Dental Appointments
Routine dental appointments can help you stay healthy or restore your oral health after a long time away from the dentist. There are many factors involved in taking care of your teeth and gums. You should visit the dentist for cleanings twice a year or anytime you notice pain. Taking care of your teeth at home is also necessary. Many people rely only on professional cleanings to get rid of plaque and prevent cavities. Preventive care, however, is a daily affair. Talk to your dentist about your health and lean how to maintain it better.
The Importance of Oral Health
The first step to staying healthy is understanding the importance of your oral health. You can become ill if your teeth become severely decayed. Most of the time, a tooth infection stays in the mouth. An advanced infection, however, can cause an abscess and bacteria can move into your bloodstream. This can be extremely dangerous.
Pregnant women should also pay close attention to any dental changes. Pregnancy complications can result from poor dental health, especially gum disease. Common issues with lack of dental care are cavities, gingivitis, and tooth loss.
Getting Started with Dental Care
If you do not have good oral hygiene habits, a dentist at Woodshore Family Dental can help you. The first step is to make an appointment with a dentist. A routine exam may be more involved if you have been absent for a while. A deep cleaning may be necessary to get you back on track. These cleanings go further below the gumline. Expect some sensitivity in the gums following the procedure. Your dentist then looks for tooth decay and schedules necessary fillings.
You also need to get the proper supplies to take care of your teeth at home. Talk to your dentist about different types of toothpastes and toothbrushes. There are some great options to help reduce the discomfort associated with sensitive teeth, as well. Don't forget to floss!
Establishing Good Dental Hygiene
Just like any daily habit, it takes time to establish a dental hygiene routine. Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Many people like to take a travel toothbrush to work for brushing after lunch, as well. Limit the amount of sweets you eat and brush immediately after a dessert.
Flossing is the hardest habit to establish. When you are in a hurry to get to work or tired at night, you may skip the flossing. There are many flossing tools that make this chore more convenient. Try a pack of individual flossers instead of the traditional spool of floss. Finally, make your next dental appointment right after you have a cleaning. This way it is on your schedule six months in advance.
The Role of X-rays
The dentist usually does x-rays at the beginning of a regular dental appointment. After your cleaning is complete, the dentist comes in to discuss the results and do an exam. X-rays allow the dentist to see tooth decay that is not visible to the naked eye. Even with the proper tools, a dentist may not be able to feel an area of decay. It can be in-between the teeth or inside the tooth. For children, x-rays help the dentist see new teeth that are coming in. A dentist can identify a tooth that is coming in crooked, for example.
Make an Oral Dental Appointment
No matter what stage of dental health you are in, Woodshore Family Dental can take care of you. Make an appointment before your oral health declines. You are sure to feel better when you begin to take care of yourself properly. A dental spa in Clute, TX can also help you feel a bit pampered. When your teeth are clean and fresh, you also look better. Individuals with goo oral health can have better self-esteem.
Pain and Sensitivity
Some people naturally have sensitive teeth and gums. Your dentist can help you choose the right toothbrush and toothpaste for this. It is still important to brush and floss regularly, you may just need gentle tools. A water pick can be less invasive than flossing.
If you have consistent pain, especially in a targeted area, call your dentist for an appointment. Your dental health care center can get you in for a diagnostic appointment. You may have a chipped tooth or a new cavity. Do not wait until the next routine exam. A cavity can become much worse over several months. You can end up with a root canal or an extraction if you wait too long to see the dentist.
Be Diligent at Home
Set a routine at home and stick to it. It does not take long to brush and floss. It is more common to forget the routine in the evening. Most people brush well during their morning routine. At night, however, you may fall asleep before tending to your teeth. This is usually accidental; however, it can cause a lot of problems. If you are sitting down to relax with television or a book after dinner, brush first.
How to prevent the gums disease known as gingivitis?
Brushing and flossing are your best defense against gingivitis. Go to the dentist at least twice a year for cleanings, as well.
How important is dental care for children?
Children need to start seeing the dentist soon after their first teeth appear. This helps establish good routines. A dentist also needs to monitor your child as the adult teeth are growing in.
Do I really need to floss every day?
It is easy to skip flossing, thinking it is not that important. Food gets stuck in tight places every day, however. Your toothbrush simply can't get everything out of your mouth. Dentists recommend that you floss every day to avoid decay and gum disease.
What do I do if my gums are bleeding?
If your gums are bleeding when you brush your teeth, you may have gum disease. Make an appointment with your dentist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
How often should I brush my teeth?
You should brush your teeth at least twice a day. Brush in the morning and before you go to bed. You can have even better oral health if you brush after all meals and after sugary snacks.
Many people procrastinate when it comes to dental care. It may not seem important until you have a problem, such as a toothache. By this point, however, you may have a large amount of decay. Get on a good dental care schedule and learn how to take good care of your teeth at home. Make an appointment with Woodshore Family Dental for a cleaning and exam.
The best way to get your oral health in order is to visit the dentist for a cleaning and exam. If you have not been to the dentist in a long time, you may need a deep cleaning or cavity filling. When you continue to attend routine appointments, your health is better. Your dentist can help you learn better habits for care at home, as well. If you have pain between visits, be sure to call for an appointment. You can have pain and sensitivity with decay, a broken tooth, or an infection. Gum disease can all set in if you do not take care of your oral health. Regular dental visits are necessary to catch problems early. Your dentist may notice a small cavity during your biannual exam. Your dentist can schedule a filling before it becomes larger. X-rays also help the dentist see cavities between the teeth or cavities that are under the surface. You can avoid invasive procedures by committing to proper care routine.

5 easy grain bowl recipes for comfort food without guilt. Grain bowls are a delicious way to get a filling carb meal the healthy way.
In her How To Cook Healthy for Beginners column this week, Vanessa Chalmers shares five recipes from now cookbook Grain Bowls For me, there is nothing more wholesome feeling than a carby dinner after a workout, pasta with red wine flowing in an Italian restaurant, or lashings of butter on toast with a hangover. Humans seem to have an innate craving for carbs, but somewhere along the line we were made to feel guilty about it.
Luckily I could easily survive day to day life without carbs if I had to – it's my sweet tooth that's the enemy. Rachel Phipps: Recipe: Roasted Almond, Tomato & Feta Five Grain Bowl. I have the perfect warm, filling and healthy grain bowl to kick off your 2017.
I don't really go in for 'diets', but after all of that rich and heavy food over Christmas I tried to go for move veg based meals in January. You can mix and match quite a few things in this recipe adapted from the one I loved in Riverford Organic and delicious.

While it serves two warm, it would make a great make-ahead desk lunch, too. Clearspring have been sending me some of their products to try out (I've always loved their soba noodles and brown rice miso paste), and one I love for lunchtimes is their Quick Cook Organic 5 Grains. Quinoa, Kale, Feta & Walnut Salad - Dinner With Julie. I know – it's even more cliché to compound quinoa with kale when January is still in single digits, but having eaten my way through most of the holiday leftovers, I'm now attempting to fill my bowl with things that are better for me than cheese and chocolate.
(OK, I'm keeping the cheese.) Pomegranate arils (the juicy seeds, which you can eat whole) are common in grainy middle eastern salads, which I find gratifying to put together, and I've found if I have some quinoa (or barley, rice, wheat berries) precooked in the fridge, I'm more likely to use it. Don't think of it as leftovers so much as dinner insurance. Or your own homemade convenience food. Nigel Slater's grilled halloumi with watermelon salsa. The recipe Finely dice a couple of spring onions.
Roughly chop 6 small (not cherry) tomatoes, then finely chop a medium-sized, medium-hot red chilli. Cut 200g of watermelon flesh into large pieces. Toss the spring onions, tomatoes, chilli and watermelon with 2 tbsp of olive oil and place in the fridge to chill. In a shallow pan, warm a generous film of olive oil and use it to fry 4 slices of ciabatta. Anna Jones' recipes for simple salads with complex flavours. Each week, a small unassuming bag arrives in my vegetable box, labelled "Hackney salad".
The leaves come in pretty colours: piercing greens, acid yellows, deep emeralds and rich purples. Each shade has a flavour so unique and so full of personality that eating a simple salad has become the leafy equivalent of a 3D film in surround sound. Depending on the time of year, this London-grown salad from my local veg-box scheme, Growing Communities, is an impressive mix.

This fiery little salad is one of Thailand's best known culinary exports (despite persistent rumours that it migrated over the border from Laos relatively recently) – and justly so.
It's at once addictively hot and refreshingly crunchy; intensely savoury and insanely sour – in short, the flavours of south-east Asia on a plate, and the only salad to make it into the (extremely subjective) list of "the world's 50 most delicious foods" a few years ago. While fans of Niçoise, caesar and tabbouleh may quibble with that particular accolade, I suspect they wouldn't argue with its inclusion on the list – especially in the sticky heat of a Thai July, when som tam's remarkable cooling properties come into their own. One to bear in mind if the British summer ever puts in a reappearance. Food - Recipes : Pesto lemon chicken.

Oakland's fire chief out on leave again; is retirement next?
Oakland's in-and-out fire chief, who has been catching flak over the deadly Ghost Ship blaze, is out on leave again — fanning rumors that she could exit for good as soon as next week.
Coincidentally, next week is when Fire Chief Teresa Deloach Reed will become eligible to receive a city pension upon her retirement.
"The city does not comment on the leave status of employees," Erica Terry Derryck, a spokeswoman for Mayor Libby Schaaf, said Tuesday when asked about the chief's latest absence.
Deloach Reed's second leave in as many months went largely unnoticed until Monday, when Deputy Fire Chief Mark Hoffmann filled in as the acting chief at the City Hall swearing-in ceremony of new Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick.
Deloach Reed has rarely been seen or heard from since the Ghost Ship fire claimed 36 lives on Dec. 2 and raised serious questions about the competence of the Fire Department's inspections bureau, which had no records of ever having checked the converted warehouse for safety violations.
Although no one is talking on the record about the chief's future, many are eyeing Sunday — the day the 59-year-old Deloach Reed will have served the five years needed to become vested in Oakland's pension system.
Once vested, Deloach Reed will be eligible for a pension equaling 15 percent of her $241,000-a-year base pay — or $36,150 annually. Add in the $127,000 annual pension she already receives from her 23 years with the San Jose Fire Department, and her combined retirement would come to $163,150 a year.
Sources at City Hall and those close to the chief tell us Deloach Reed has been fuming over what she felt was was the shoddy treatment of her by Schaaf and City Administrator Sabrina Landreth when the national media descended on Oakland after the Ghost Ship fire.
In particular, Deloach Reed was upset over being relegated to the background during the first couple of days of news conferences after the fire — with Deputy Chief Darin White and Battalion Chief Melinda Drayton largely fielding questions about firefighters' heroic efforts to save victims and pick through dangerously unstable rubble looking for bodies. In one of the few instances she was asked to address the cameras, Deloach Reed was forced to admit that the Ghost Ship hadn't been on the Fire Department's radar before it went up in flames.
"She really felt offended and hurt that they would stoop to the level of disrespecting her to the level they did," said our source, who declined to speak for the record because of the sensitive nature of the chief's unhappiness with her bosses. "But it was really noticeable."
The mayor's office has said any suggestion that Deloach Reed was intentionally pushed to the background is baseless. "That's simply not true, as evidenced by the coverage," Derryck said.
Deloach Reed wasn't Schaaf's pick for the job — she was brought in by then-Mayor Jean Quan in 2012 as the first black woman to head a big-city fire department. Since then, Deloach Reed has been at odds with the Oakland firefighters union, which wanted her to fill inspector positions more quickly, and recently she threatened to sue an Oakland hills resident who called out what he saw as the department's lax fire protection efforts during a neighborhood meeting.
A few days after that blowup, the chief went on her first leave amid unconfirmed reports that she was taking care of a family member. She was back for a few days, then left again last week with no public explanation.
Oakland Post Publisher Paul Cobb, whose paper is seen as the voice of Oakland's African American community, said after the Ghost Ship blaze that the chief was being "thrown under the bus" by Schaaf and the city administrator to cover up the years of budget cuts and the understaffed inspection bureau.
At a recent Black History Month event at the Chapel of the Chimes, the chief hinted at the possible end to her trailblazing career. As reported by The Chronicle's Otis R. Taylor Jr., she told the gathering, "I've never met a woman who retired (as a firefighter) with 30 years of service."
Deloach Reed did not return a call from us seeking comment.
Privately, we're told, the chief is counting down the days until retirement. But one source who has spoken to her also said "she is a fighter" who plans to leave on her own terms.
Incidentally, it's not clear just how long any of the department's senior command staff will stick around. We're told acting Chief Hoffmann, who has 37 years in the department, maxed out on his retirement in 2010 and could leave any time.
Hoffmann declined to comment Tuesday on that possibility. "I serve at the city's pleasure," he said. "I'm told I'm acting chief for the moment, and not how long that will be."

3 Smart Strategies Designed to Reduce or Eliminate Estate Taxes
Photo: Flickr user Tracy O
If you plan on leaving a sizable amount of money to your heirs, it's understandable to be concerned about estate taxes. After all, the top Federal estate tax rate of 40% could take a nasty bite out of a multi-million dollar estate, and that's not including any state taxes that may apply. With that in mind, here are three suggestions from our contributors that could help you lower the estate tax's burden on your loved ones.
Matt Frankel : The estate tax only applies to amounts left to heirs in excess of the lifetime basic exclusion amount, which is $5.43 million for 2015. This includes all taxable gifts given during the person's lifetime. For example, if a wealthy individual dies and leaves an estate worth $10 million to heirs, the amount subject to taxation is $10,000,000-$5,430,000 = $4,570,000.
However, thanks to the annual gift exclusion, which currently stands at $14,000 per person , it is possible for individuals to pass some of their estate on to heirs, tax free, while they're still alive. In other words, in order to reduce the total value of the estate, a wealthy person could start giving his/her money away to heirs every year.
Let's say that same individual with a $10 million estate decides to get proactive about estate planning. We'll assume this person has three children (all of whom are married) and a total of eight grandchildren. Each year, they could give $14,000 to each of these heirs and their spouses for a total of $196,000 in tax-free gifts each year. Over a period of several years or even decades, you can imagine how this could put a nice dent in the eventual estate tax liability.
Dan Caplinger : Your home is often your biggest asset, and being able to reduce the amount of estate tax you pay on your home can be a huge money-saver for your family. A strategy using what's known as a Qualified Personal Residence Trust, or QPRT, can help you achieve this key goal in your estate planning.
To use the QPRT strategy, you transfer your home into a trust under which you pick how long the trust will last and who will receive your home when the trust ends. The QPRT allows you to keep living in your home throughout the period you set, and while you still have to pay real-estate taxes and insurance, you also get the income-tax benefits of home ownership. After the trust terminates, you can generally still live in your home, but you'll have to pay fair-market rent to the beneficiaries going forward.
The key is that for gift tax purposes, the value of the home is discounted to reflect the delay in the gift to the trust beneficiaries. The longer the term, the greater the discount. However, if you die before the trust ends, you undo many of the benefits, and so you shouldn't simply pick an extremely long term.
The QPRT is a highly specialized strategy, but it's one that many families should consider. If you have a taxable estate and much of your net worth is in your home, a QPRT could be your best option to cut your taxes.
Sean Williams : I've said it before and I'll say it again: Where you live can make a big difference when it comes to how much you pay in taxes, and how much of your wealth ultimately gets transferred to your beneficiaries.
My Foolish colleagues have offered two great ideas here to lower your estate taxes. As for me, I'm going to suggest you take a good look at where you plan to retire, as the state you live in could bear an estate tax that could reduce the value of your estate.
Currently, there are 15 states, along with the District of Columbia, that have an estate tax. As you might imagine, each state can have a different minimum and maximum tax, as well as differing exemption thresholds. For example, Hawaii's and Delaware's state exemption matches the federal government at $5.43 million. On the other side of the coin, New Jersey only exempts the first $675,000 of an estate, meaning many New Jersey residents will see their estate reduced by taxation.
Additionally, Washington State has the highest maximum estate tax rate of 20%, and the highest minimum estate tax rate of 10%. For the majority of the 15 states that do have an estate tax, it often ranges from a low of 0.8% to a maximum of 16%.
I suggest to take some extra time to understand how taxes could affect you during your golden years and once you pass. If you live in one of the 35 states that doesn't have an estate tax, then focusing on some of the suggestions offered by my colleagues could help you lower your estate tax liability to the federal government. If you do live in one of the 15 states with an estate tax, be aware of what sort of liability your estate could face down the road.
The $15,978 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook
If you're like most Americans, you're a few years (or more) behind on your retirement savings. But a handful of little-known "Social Security secrets" could help ensure a boost in your retirement income. In fact, one MarketWatch reporter argues that if more Americans knew about this, the government would have to shell out an extra $10 billion annually. For example: one easy, 17-minute trick could pay you as much as $15,978 more... each year! Once you learn how to take advantage of all these loopholes, we think you could retire confidently with the peace of mind we're all after. Simply click here to discover how you can take advantage of these strategies.

The collapse of the coalition government in Austria in May 2019 illustrates how to execute an effective black bag intelligence operation in the 21st century. Unlike the abortive Russian attempt in Montenegro in 2016 which harkens of "old school" methods at regime change, gunslingers did not patrol the streets of Vienna or cordon off the Austrian Parliament and the heavy hand of state is not readily visible behind the conspirators in Austria, at least at present.
Rather, a motley cohort of individuals with a history of contract services for the domestic intelligence service, a disgruntled bodyguard of the former Deputy prime minister, an Iranian born-Viennese lawyer, and a Bosnian Agricultural Studies student produced a 7 hour video, which has subsequently been sold (at cut-rate) to "journalists", "concerned artists" and others, eager to get by-lines, reposts and digital recognition in the modern, hype-obsessed media (and social) landscape.
Together, the two groups have successfully manipulated public opinion to such a degree as to bring down one of the most successful democratically-elected governments of the second Republic, in a highly advanced western European nation.
The scandal centers on a video showing two Liberal Party (FPÖ) officials, then-candidate Heinz Christian Strache and Party Secretary General Johannes Gudenus in Ibiza drunkenly expressing their readiness to trade favorable media coverage for government construction tenders once in office. It emerges now that drinks served were laced with drugs to get the victims to talk.
Nearly two years after production and several failed attempts to sell the video, a USB containing the file was given to German journalists in an abandoned hotel in Germany. These journalists, Frederik Obermaier and Bastian Obermayer, were incidentally also the first recipients of the Panama Papers in 2015 and are linked to the ICIJ.
To blame are numerous factors, but a few are of particular note. While greed, criminal intent and party loyalty are longstanding motivators for all sorts of action, into the fray comes the relatively new insatiable public appetite for fake news and scandal, and the desire to topple a democratic coalition at all costs servicing the deeply embedded non-state interests.
Intelligence Agencies infighting along party lines?
In the wake of the scandal, all FPÖ (liberal-nationalist) ministers resigned en masse, triggering a coalition and government crisis. On Monday consequently the Chancellor Sebastian Kurz did not survive a non-confidence vote by the parliament; a first for the Alpine Republic. Most critically, the portfolios of the Interior and Defense Ministries have been vacated, however, following the first thesis, this may have been the desired result.
Shortly after the liberals took over the Interior Ministry in 2017, and with it the domestic and foreign intelligence services, a purge commenced. After nearly two decades of oversight by either the Conservative or Social-democrats, "house-cleaning" of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution and Counter-terrorism (BVT) was in order.
What followed were police raids on members of the domestic intelligence services at the end of February 2018, leading to a parliamentarian crisis. Subsequently through friendly intelligence services officers of the BVT working for a foreign, unnamed powerwere uncovered. By the end of May 2018, with the crisis subsiding, the Interior Minister, Herbert Kickl, announced that a "new era" for the BVT would begin in summer 2019.
The affair bears uncanny similarities to the Trump-FBI spat over penetration of the intelligence services by individuals resistant to changes in decades-old structures or pursuing individual political agendas. In the case of the United States, the president won, while in Austria, the Ibiza video, with its possible connections to the BVT has undone the Austrian government. It is suggested the Spanish and German intelligence services , some Austrian companies and members of the opposition party had knowledge of the tapes as early as 2017.
Motive is certainly present. The Austrian intelligence services have for some time suffered from setbacks and calls for reform, and even dissolution have been forthcoming. The attempted removal of the long serving head of the BVT was seen by the party-political colored structures of the opaque domestic intelligence services as a declaration of war.
The former head of the German intelligence service, BND August Hanning warned that the Austrian service is not protecting secrets and information and its sources must be treated with caution. Domestically the Social Democrats, in opposition accused the new government of compromising national security. The Social Democrats were in fact responsible for many of the national security failures of the intelligence services and have consistently promoted a culture of denial is somewhat overlooked.
Following the discovery of a Russian spy in the ranks of the Austrian army warnings of hostile intelligence service penetration surfaced in growing numbers. Warnings from Western security services that Austria's government was too cozy with Moscow—a problem judged so serious that several Western intelligence agencies curtailed longstanding ties with Austrian partners, for fear that shared secrets were going to Russia—can now be judged accurate. However, Austrian neutrality is an overarching consideration often forgotten by the Anglo-Saxon media coverage. The Alpine republic does play a sensible balancing act between the EU, NATO's interest and Russia.
The Observer reported that there are reports of another Kremlin penetration of Austria's security apparatus, specifically a mole in the mouthful Office for the Protection of the Constitution and Counter-terrorism, BVT for short, which is Austria's domestic intelligence agency. A former BVT employee fell under suspicion in late 2017, which worried Western spy partners. Following the BVT-spy scandal it emerged the Austrian domestic intelligence service temporarily withdrew from the working group of the Berne Club. If the affair was the result of a domestic spat is yet to emerge, but the intended consequence is that the liberal-conservative coalition was successfully toppled.
The "Civil" Society claim
Frederik Obermaier and Bastian Obermayer were not the only individuals to receive the video file in May 2019. The Zentrum für Politische Schönheit (ZPS)/ Center for Political Beauty, an 'artist collective' posted the video 14 minutes ahead of the two German reporters and the Iranian lawyer in Vienna has claimed through his attorney that the video release is "a civil-society motivated project, entailing the use of methods common to investigative journalism". Considering the semi-restrictive costs connected to the operation (estimated originally by a private detective at €300-600,000 but subsequently adjusted to €380,000) it remains unclear what are the origins of the funds.
All the above strongly suggest that the hand of an internationally funded and sponsored group, pursuing political goals is behind the affair. The planning, premeditation and strategy evident in the operation also speaks to a great deal of oversight and coordination, which the three known conspirators would most likely not possess.
In interviews conducted by the investigative journalist Gert Schmidt it emerges that the roughly seven hours of tapes were haggled over by yet unnamed reporters and stitched together to get best negative exposure of the two entrapped politicians. A SMS bidding war over the tapes "on the market" raises questions about the ethics of the so-called investigative journalism. It was claimed a payment of 600,000 euros in South African gold coins was made to the architects of the tapes.
Critical examination of the facts is replaced by sensationalism and deep rooted political hate by the left against any of the pro-nationalistic government coalition. The deliberate usage of German media to break the news in 2019 after failed attempts in 2017 furthermore incriminates the architects as well the willing media executors to embrace in the falsehood.
Even if the "project" was initiated by civil society actors, the active nature of both the entrapment scenario and its usage as de-facto political blackmail far exceed the legal limitations within which civil society operates.
Austrian Political Opponents of the Liberals?
The Israeli adviser and campaign manager Moshe Gaon finds it unlikely that a political strategist could have commissioned the video – after all, election campaigns are mostly dirty, rarely fair, and sometimes in the gray area between legal and illegal. "Campaigning is very reminiscent of war, in terms of strategies, tactics and the fight against opponents." Professionals, such as ex-intelligence officers are often found behind such campaigns.
Additionally, utilizing the video nearly two years after both production and the domestic election makes little sense for an Austrian political party as does the argument that it severely impacted the European Parliamentary Elections. If such a video had been commissioned by one of the government opponents, e.g. the social democrats then its release would have occurred nearest to the date of the Austrian elections, similarly to the recognition of the Clinton Email Scandal in October 2016.
Tradecraft at work
For all of the mystery surrounding the affair, there is a significant amount of information and most of it evidences classic tradecraft at work. The manufacturing of the compromising material, as well as the structured and deliberate questioning show processes known to intelligence services the world over. A detailed catalog of questions for the Bosnian student, and "shepherding" the unwitting interviewees to certain answers while eliciting unmistakable responses, brings the charge of criminal entrapment to the fore. The trap possibly included drug-laced drinks to make "the targets talk".
Beginning with the victims, one of them (Gudenus) was cased, approached and co-opted, ultimately establishing a relationship of trust with the purported niece, and enabling access to the other target, Strache. For his part, Strache remarked several times during the video that the whole matter was a trap, but this did little good. The operation was in motion and the cameras were rolling. Entrapment can be legally prosecuted; however, this has not saved Strache's political career in the near to mid-term.
Turning to the conspirators, while much has been made of the mysterious detective convicted of drug dealing, the lawyer was undoubtedly the most important figure among the group. He alone provided bona fides and the crucially important access to the target; anyone the lawyer vouched for would be accepted by the targets, and without the lawyer's access, the operation could not have proceeded. Surfacing now are two more characters in the dark who appear for the moment the actual "security specialists" of the quartet. The lawyer seemingly was politically and financially motivated, the others just the willing and "useful idiots".
President of the Federal Intelligence Service (BND), Gerhard Schindler, the Ibiza affair has no intelligence background – and indirectly supports Sascha Wandl's stories
Schindler: "The less mature technology use rather speaks against a news service. With enough limitation of a target person, no complex intelligence operation is required. Alcohol and a beautiful woman are enough. Anyone can use those resources – not just intelligence services. "
While it is possible that the female, paid a princely per diem of €7,000 (who repeatedly remarks during the video to Gudenus' poor and barely comprehensible Russian, in highly South-Slavic accented "Я не понимаю!" or "I don't know!") fooled the lawyer into introducing her to the group, his above statement seems to rule out ignorance of his contact's true identity.
It now emerges a former bodyguard for the then candidate Strache provided the intimate information to the lawyer. Unconfirmed reports suggest Strache's the bodyguard was disgruntled over his dismissal and spoke to the lawyers who in concert with others hatched a plan.
As such, the lawyer's susceptibility to pressure or leverage should be the starting point for determining who, or what is behind the video. Whoever contacted the lawyer or convinced him to introduce the Russian-speaker will provide the next stepping stone and at present, that person remains unknown.
The other antagonists, the detective who provided audio-video recording of the meeting, and the Bosnian agricultural student, who was reported initially as a Russian-speaking Lithuanian, may not necessarily lead directly to the architects of the affair as they provided services in exchange for payment. Maintenance of discipline and silence after the operation does not require detailed knowledge of who, or what the benefactor of the operation is/was.
The two (somewhat complementary) purposes of the operation were, (1) To turn a 500-1000% profit on the initial investment and/or (2) To cause a scandal in Austria which would, nearly certainly, bring down the FPÖ within the ruling coalition on the eve of the EU elections as suggested by the former boss of the detective.
The timing of the release of the video underlines the political motives, possibly of leftist sympathizers and publishers, and their "moral obligation" to undermine a democratically elected government, they were at odds with ideologically.
Despite not knowing who commissioned the operation, they "[were] well aware of the intended consequences and likely used a group of useful idiots to serve as the patsies in the plot", according to former Austrian intelligence officials interviewed.
The Overlying Problem: Peer-to-peer intelligence and the retreat of the state
The emergence of the peer-to-peer economy is a recognizable hallmark of the digital age. Removing the "third party", it is argued, improves the service, lowers cost and permits enterprises (or individuals) who face restrictive costs to enter the market and offer their services directly to consumers. Concurrent to this is the development (or re-emergence) of private intelligence gathering and contracting.
As of 2016, an estimated 45,000 private intelligence contractors were employed by the US Government while in 2010, nearly 2,000 private companies offered homeland security, intelligence and counter-terrorism services. As intelligence gathering has continued to morph into a hybrid state-private enterprise, and the state has retreated from many of its traditional areas of expertise it should come as little surprise that from 1990 until 2005, private contracts within US Intelligence agencies essentially doubled, rising from 38% to 70% of budgetary expenses.
The resulting convergence of peer-to-peer economics with private intelligence providers, must ultimately lead to the shouldering of state responsibilities or activities by non-state actors. Private individuals and interests, among them intelligence and security professionals have jettisoned any recognizable government affiliation and offer their services and expertise directly to clients, both public and private interested in achieving a desired result or service. It has subsequently emerged that two of the four perpetrators provided contract services for the BVT including surveillance operations targeting drug deals.
Examining the entire affair from afar, what is striking is the role which private individuals and non-government entities played in effectively toppling a democratically-elected government in a highly modern and western nation. The ability to contract collapse of a democratically elected government in Western Europe by four private individuals, some of which possess ties to the Austrian BVT for €380,000 should and most likely has, raised alarm bells in cabinets and ministries around the world.
The threshold for such tactical intelligence operations has dropped so significantly that essentially anyone can afford to play, and that unlike 1954 in Guatemala, 1956 in Hungary, 1968 in the Czech Republic, 1973 in Chile, 1979 in Afghanistan or (unsuccessfully) 2016 in Montenegro toppling a democratically elected government is no longer the purview of states alone, but open to the highest bidder.
A Footnote
For many in the intelligence and analytical community the négligé attitude within the political culture of Austrian society permeates the affair. Many frustrated Austrian intelligence officers lament about the absence of a security culture across the government. Often jokingly referred to as the "007 complex" any reforms, overdue as they are, are resisted by the ministries.
The reasons for the denial are primarily historical. However, the cost to the Austrian republic as a result of this operation in terms of financial, political and societal stability are enormous. Bilateral relationships are damaged, trust within the already polarized political landscape has further dissipated. The financial damage to the taxpayers as a result of new elections will run into billions of euros.
The correlation between economic damage to the state, deliberate undermining of a political system with the use of fabricated and deliberate fake news should trigger a societal wide soul-searching.
The BVT and Army intelligence spying scandals, and now the toppling of a democratically elected government, should be of grave concern to all. Clearly, something is amiss in the Austrian intelligence culture. It is about time to get rid of the ghosts of 'Colonel Redl' and embrace the much needed structural and ideological reforms of the Austrian intelligence services.
Perhaps a good start would be to get rid of the political party affiliations of each of the intelligence services, another yet more drastic measure would be the reform of the intelligence education with a more hands-on approach instead of hiring a German as an expensive consultant to 'advise' the administration on how to run a domestic intelligence service.
It would be gravely concerning if any of the intelligence services would be revealed to have a hidden hand in the matter, diverting valuable resources away from protecting the state, to protecting their own inner-office, or departmental cultures instead serving the citizens of the Alpine republic. Regardless of the immediate future, this scandal is a stark reminder of the threat of fake news and a honey trap operations to democracy is today's reality.

AN unbeta'd AN2 My FIRST HIMYM fic, so be nice… please? AN3 CRAP this piece is dark! Fair warning!
It had been six months and she was doing all the things that people did again.
Waking up. Bathing. Combing her hair. Eating – although not enough. Working – she was painting again, although, now, all of the colors were muted. Blackened and Greyed. She was even watching TV although she didn't focus on anything.
The one thing she still wasn't doing, the thing that was most obviously separating her from the land of the living, was sleeping. The first few weeks after his death, she'd slept almost endlessly. Curving her form into a ball on her side of the bed, her head buried in his pillow, trying desperately to breathe in his scent instead of air.
But that was just during the first few weeks. Since then, she'd only slept in fits and bouts. Her eyes finally drifting shut when they could no longer be forced to stay open. Noon might find her sprawled out on the couch dead to the world. But the sleep she gathered round her head was brief and shallow. Only enough to keep her body functioning. Only enough to make it possible for her to bath, comb her hair, paint, and sit in front of the television.
Next to Marshall, sleep was what Lily missed most.
But if she couldn't have Marshall, how could she have the soothing, deadening, limbo of sleep?
Most people thought she was doing better. That she was functioning, both in mind and in body at almost full capacity. They saw her here and there, and they thought she was present. That she was living in the here and now.
Ted thought that. Ted with his empty 'I'm so sorries' and his stupid 'I loved him toos'. He thought she was living and breathing again. Stupid Ted.
And Robin. Robin was Robin. When she allowed herself to think about Lily, she imagined that she was healing, breathing air versus the constant grey. Robin was a good friend when she wasn't wrapped up in her flights of fancy of becoming the next Katie Couric, or better yet, the next Barbara Walters; when she wasn't planning to take her life to Australia, or to India and start her career over. Yes, she was a good friend when she was petting Lily with a hesitant hand. A hand afraid of becoming contaminated by emotions.
Most people thought Lily was doing better. That she was functioning, both in mind and in body at almost full capacity. They saw her here and there, and they thought she was present. That she was living in the here and now.
The only one who seemed to know, who actually seemed to understand that she was mostly dead, was Barney.
Barney Stinson.
Playboy, Womanizer. Narcissist. Barney Stinson.
Only, he wasn't a narcissist. Not at heart. The ego and the hyper self-esteem? Facades. Thick facades, but facades none-the-less.
She'd always known he was deeper, more open, more caring than he let on. She'd always known it. But she'd seen it in action more often than most. There was the time, when she and Marshall had broken up, and she was across the world (or so it had seemed) trying to forget and forage. Who had come to get her? None other than Barney.
Then, shortly after that, she'd moved in with Barney and become his 'anti-wingwoman'. Those weeks with him had been clarifying; crystallizing her opinion of the man. Of the heart of the man.
And then, there was now.
Now when she was broken and cold; nearly dead and barely moving, now, she realized that once again, Stinson was more than he let on. He saw that she was bleeding and broken. He saw that she was blue and cold. And he was a lifeline. A lifeline to a world she wasn't positive she wanted to live in anymore. A lifeline that wouldn't let go of her, even though her lifeless fingers had all but let go of it. Barney gave her a bit of air. He was a craggy suture. He was a… companion.
Barney came to see her every other night; after work. He came bearing food. Italian. Chinese. Thai. Indian…. The best burger ever…. And he made her eat. At times resorting to feeding her himself – if her day had been particularly bad – if she was particularly listless.
Barney also came bearing news of the world. His world. "So I picked up this red head last night Lil. Boobs out to HERE! And… surprise, surprise, the carpet MATCHED the curtains. Although, sadly, the boobs were plastic. Oh well, can't win them all, all of the time."
She didn't particularly care about what flavor, or what dish Barney had bedded the night before. But she appreciated his being there. And his reminding her of that there was a world out there, still circulating and moving and pumping. She also appreciated his stillness. After the stories of his conquests, Barney would become silent. He would open his arms to her from his spot on the couch, or on her bed. And he would hold her. Hold her, unmoving, while the TV flickered. Hold her, as he stroked her hair, while her tears soaked his silk/linen/cotton shirts. Hold her in the silence.
Barney came to see her every other night; after work. He came bearing food. He came bearing air and salve. He came even when she yelled at him to 'get out! Get out and NEVER come back.' He came even when she told him to 'leave me the hell alone, Stinson. I don't need your help anymore. I don't WANT your help!' He came even after she told him, achingly, longingly that 'I want to die. I want to die, it hurts so much.'
But Barney Stinson, beneath the façade, had a heart. A heart that saw her, and understood.
And so, he continued to come. He continued to breathe for her. He continued to heal the ever open wound.
And he told his stories, and he stroked her hair, and he watched the black and white flickering screen, and he listened to the heavy laden silence.

Willapa Bay, named Shoalwater Bay on July 5, 1788, by English fur trader John Meares (1756?-1809) and so known until about 1900, extends north to within 20 miles of Grays Harbor. Willapa Bay's ocean entrance is 28 miles north of the Columbia and 17 miles south of Grays Harbor. At high tide, the bay covers about 59,000 acres (92-square-miles). At low tide, approximately half the seafloor of the bay is exposed.
Until the 1850s, the shallow inlet had little maritime activity warranting navigation aids. Then, a small oystering industry based on natural beds long used by local Native Americans blossomed. Oyster shipments first went overland to the Columbia River and then by ship to market at San Francisco. Sailing vessels soon carried loads of oysters direct from Willapa Bay to the California city. Lumber schooners, destined for ports all over the globe, later joined the oyster boats in entering and leaving the bay.
By 1855, the United States Lighthouse Board planned to mark the bay's entrance. Lighthouse Board architects designed a 42-foot circular tower. It rested on a base of New England marble. A rectangular masonry structure, providing keepers quarters, surrounded the tower. Board officials chose a lighthouse site on the tip of Cape Shoalwater, at the northern end of the bay. A fourth-order Fresnel lens provided the light's beacon when it went into operation on October 1, 1858.
Less than a year after opening, the lighthouse closed temporarily. Providing food for its keepers and fuel for its lantern proved difficult. In July 1861, the lighthouse reopened. In the mid-1860s, diminishing vessel traffic led the Lighthouse Board to consider shutting down the light. Local protests, however, saved it.
By 1868, coastal erosion began to threaten the light. Contractors built a bulkhead to protect the foundations. Authorities placed 2,000-square-feet of planking around the lighthouse grounds to cut down on the amount of sand blowing into the structure. In 1869, the keepers received instructions to plant shrubs around the bulkhead. These 1860s efforts began a battle that lasted almost 100 years. Keepers struggled to keep newly created dunes from interfering with the light's visibility. In the best conditions, mariners could see it at a distance of 11 miles. In the worst conditions, they could not see it at all.
Fences went up in 1875 in an attempt to stop drifting sands. Willow trees and brush fences followed in 1881. In 1892, brush mats further protected the bulkhead. All the while, pounding surf and storm tides cut away 50 to 100 feet of Cape Shoalwater each year. Then just before Christmas Day 1940, storm winds of up to 85 m.p.h. signaled that the light's days were numbered. The Coast Guard, which had assumed responsibility for lighthouse operations in 1939, removed "the musty records, the fine French glass reflectors [Fresnel lens] used since 1858, and the brass light fittings" (Tacoma News Tribune, December 24, 1940, quoted in Nelson and Nelson). High tides and heavy surf so undermined the lighthouse that by December 26 its south wall collapsed. Rising waters eventually claimed not only the lighthouse, but also much of the cape on which it sat.
In the years after 1940, the Coast Guard erected beacons on a series of towers that gradually retreated from the encroaching ocean. By the beginning of the twenty-first century, Willapa Light rested on a metal tower almost a mile from the 1858 lighthouse site.

The Main Duties and Responsibilities of a Physiotherapist in Aiding a Patient's Rehabilitation
Physiotherapists usually perform a very important role in the health and well-being of patients. There are certain situations in which a patient will have to get the help of a physical therapist. Physical therapists are trained professionals who have to earn a bachelors' degree or a Masters so as to practice. A physical therapist can help patients of all ages in more ways than one.
During the first meeting with a patient, a physiotherapist is supposed to perform a diagnosis. Physical therapists specialize in treating ailments that limit someone's mobility. There are a number of reasons that may cause people to lose optimal physical condition. The physiotherapist will use their training and expertise to determine where the exact problem lies.
The second responsibility of a physical therapist is to develop a recovery plan for their patient. There are many treatment options that can be recommended depending on the ailment. Other factors such as the age of the patient and their medical history will also influence the type of treatment plan. With the right treatment plan, a patient will get back to optimal physical condition in the shortest time. The plans are liable to change depending on the progress and effectiveness.
A physical therapist is also supposed to help their patients follow the treatment plan until they recover fully. A physical therapist practically helps their patients do the required exercises by being right by their side when they exercise. They will also help and teach the patients how to use various equipment and devices to aid with the recovery. If a massage is a helpful exercise, your physiotherapist will perform it. A physical therapist also advises family members on how to aid their loved one in their recovery.
A physical therapist is also supposed to keep all the relevant records of their patients. They will have a record of the treatment plan and keep track of the progress for each patient. Having the right information will help your physical therapist to design a more effective recovery plan for the best results. Records are also important in that other medical professionals can refer to it when other health problems occur.
Many patients suffer from depression after they have suffered from a serious incident that impairs their movement. In very serious cases, patients lose their ability to walk and they have to train again. This psychological trauma can be worse than the physical and can even hinder recovery. For these reasons, a physical therapist also provides emotional support to their patients during the treatment period. Above all else, a physiotherapist will help their patients recover emotionally from their ailments.

Ghanaian champions Asante Kotoko put up a brave display to draw 0-0 with MC El Eulma in their CAF Champions League round 16 first leg clash.
The Porcupine Warriors dusted themselves off recent uninspiring performances in the Ghana Premier League to hold the Algeria side at the Stade Messaoud Zougar.
Kotoko would be indebted to their goalkeeper Eric Ofori Antwi who pulled great saves to deny the hosts.
The two-time African champions were heavily boosted by in-coming coach David Duncan who sat on the bench for the match.
He and stop-gap coach Michael Osei hatched a plan which frustrated the Algerians.
Two years, Kotoko drew 0-0 with JSM Bejaia in the first leg and drew 1-1 at home to exit the competition on the away-goals rule.
Kotoko will host the return leg against MCEE at the Baba Yara Stadium on 5 April.

In the first of its kind collaboration with the Noesis Group in Beverly Hills, The Agency sets a precedent in its debut of 151 N Le Doux. This new construction contemporary, featuring a bold, innovate design, is a modern sanctuary with an exquisite coupling of flow and functionality, an artful, gallery aesthetic and seamless indoor/outdoor living.
The main living area is a modern, graciously flowing space with the kitchen, family, dining and living areas all open to each other. Towering windows draw the outdoors in, while a 20-foot ceiling adds depth and scale, soaring above the dining area where a giant picture window captures natural light from above. With all of the glass and connectivity, there remains ample wall space for an extensive art collection and overscale paintings.
Under the collaborative effort of agents Paul Lester, Aileen Comora and Michael Perez and in conjunction with Wicked + The Agency, a VIP evening of celebration was held for the launch of the home this past week.
The nights event highlighted the innovative design of architect David Parker's first foray into Beverly Hills.
Enjoying gourmet hors d'oeuvres from Choux Choux and Compartes chocolates exclusively designed for The Agency, VIP guests roamed the home admiring the art curated by John Wolf Fine Arts. As a further nod to The Agency's collaboration with luxury lifestyle brands, McLaren Calabasas featured the new McLaren 650S Spider.
In it's continuing efforts to weave relationships between home, fine art and luxury lifestyle, the evenings event was again a successful example of The Agency's commitment to neighborhood businesses and the value of engaging the local community.

Gossen Luna Pro F
I'm not normally one for product endorsements, or even positive product reviews. This is not because I don't like sharing my interests, or promoting products and services I think deserve a wider audience; who doesn't? Rather, it's because far, far too many websites and reviewers seem to be spineless, beholden shills, all too happy to be given – or even just loaned – samples of the latest-and-greatest whatever in return for their producing glowing reviews. Some even manage to get paid actual money to promote a company or their products and services.
Nobody ever sends me stuff for review. (Please don't, either; unsolicited packages may meet untimely ends.) Nobody pays me to say nice stuff about their goods or services. One guy once tried to pay me to stop saying not-so-nice things about his employer, but I never replied to his email. I have a little pride, after all. (But only a little; there are a handful of things I'd happily compromise my ethical standards for, to greater or lesser extents. The stupid little iPhone is not one of them, however. I should post a half-joking price list one of these days…) But, the thing is, like so many others, honesty and independence are only worth so much. In the end, you just have to accept that I'm telling the truth – either when I say that I'm not on the take, or what I say about something. Or both, of course.
Recently, I picked up a gently used Gossen Luna Pro F, for a very good price. The Luna Pro is a photographic light meter – or exposure meter, if you want to get really technical. I have a couple others, but none of them meter flash, and none of them can accurately meter such low light levels as the Luna Pro does.
It's a nice meter that's very easy to use, and takes a widely-available 9V battery. It can accurately meter some amazingly low light levels. What nobody ever seems to mention is just how big it is. Bigger than a cellphone, even an old one. Bigger, in fact, than most point-and-shoot digital cameras, like a Canon A80 or A620 or whatever. Bigger than my old Sekonic L-448, even. Too big to fit in a pocket, really. It's not a big deal, really, but just a surprise. The meter's virtues – simplicity of use, wide sensitivity, incident metering, flash metering, common battery – easily overcome the fact that it's just downright huge.
Unless you have your heart set on an itty-bitty exposure meter, the Luna Pro is great. And no, Gossen didn't pay me in any way to say that, unfortunately…

My name is Roy L. Carman and I will be the Caravan Captain for the 2019 Eastern Kentucky/Tennessee Corvette Caravan.
This will be my third caravan as I was a participant in 2009, Caravan Captain in 2014 for E. Kentucky/Tennessee and again in 2019.
I'm married to my wonderful wife Karen who comes from the Great State of Texas. Our honeymoon was on the 15th Caravan in 2009. She has the 2003 50th Anniversary Coupe and enjoys traveling across the country.
To give a little background on me, I am a retired pilot from American Airlines and just finished a semester with Middle Tennessee State University as a professor in the Department of Aerospace.
Between that and the time that I spend on my 3 Corvettes, I'm playing with my dogs and cat and just enjoying life. I have a 1992 Black ZR-1, a 1993 40th Anniversary ZR-1 and a 2003 50th Anniversary Coupe.
This is an update for the route and time for the Corvette Caravan for Eastern Kentucky/ Tennessee. The caravan will start from the Arby's restaurant/ fuel station located at 2441 S. Church St. located off exit 81A in Murfreesboro, TN. We will meet up, pass out credentials around 9:30am on the 28th of August. We will leave Arby's at 10:00am and proceed up I-24, through Nashville to exit 92 on I-65 on to Old Hickory Blvd and park at the Cornerstone Church. We should arrive approximately at 11:00am, give or take.
We will meet up with the Northern most Tennessee participants and pass out credentials, meet and greet and do a quick briefing on our route and destination. We will try to leave at 11:45am. From the church, we will proceed up I-65 to Kentucky and arrive at Kentucky Downs at 12:25pm. Kentucky Downs is off of I-65 on Exit 2. Again, we will do another meet and greet, pass out credentials and I'll give a briefing on our route to the NCM Motorsport Park. Please note that we will NOT be going to the NCM. The routing will drop you off at the parking lot at the MotorSport Park. If you want to go the NCM, you will need to park your car and ride the courtesy vans to the NCM. If you have the prepaid parking at the NCM, you can continue on to the NCM.
This last route is different because we cannot use Exit 28. So we will turn off at Exit 26 on I-65 and turn east on Cemetery Rd until we reach Iron Bridge Rd and go north. Iron Bridge Rd will run into Porter Pike. It is also known as Highway 1402. This will put us right at the entrance of the NCM Motorsport Park. It takes about 50 to 55 minutes depending on traffic and weather. I want to leave around 1:15pm but that is dependent on the NCM and their timing. We should get there around 2:15pm or very close to that time.
As a reminder, I will receive the credentials sometime in August and I will have a checklist for those participants. I cannot mail out the credentials. To get them, you have to be at one of the meeting places. Also, July 11th is the last day to make any changes to your plans for the Anniversary Event. I still have some clings and flags if anyone is interested. I would also like to ask if you would consider volunteering during the event to help out the other participants enjoy their time.
I should have more information as we get closer to the launch date.
I will not be handling any hotel rooms at this time. The NCM has that information on their Facebook page and it is kept up-to-date. There should be plenty when the time comes.
April 27 was the last Captains Caravan meeting before the big event at the end of August. Museum representatives Bryce Burklow, Maci Hensley and Katie Ellison along with National Chairman Jeff Duda gave an update on the preparations for the 25th Opening of the National Corvette Museum. Registration is currently at 5,687 people so it is on pace with 2014. We currently have 43 people registered and, hopefully, we will get more by that time. Just as a reminder, online registration closes on July 11th.
Here is some of the information passed on to us: There is no new information on plant tours. The plant manager has not committed to saying yes or no. He is currently busy getting ready for the launch of the C8. Speaking of the C8, it made a rather rapid flyby of the NCM (in my own opinion). There is video of it everywhere so it shouldn't be too hard to find it. Up close, it's not really any different than all of the spy shots that have been out there for a while now. You really can't tell much about it, which is what GM wanted. There will be a mobile C8 display at the event for people to look at and as you know, the reveal date is July 18th.
Hotels are still available if you need one. Katie Ellison has been on top of it since this whole thing started so if you need one, it's there. Some of the captains have been releasing rooms and this information has been become available to everybody. Please check the NCM's Facebook page for more information.
Credentials will be sent to the captains. The whole idea is to keep the registration lines down at the museum. The credentials will include the hard badge, lanyard, pin and event program. I should get them in early August. I have been instructed not to mail them to you so the only way that you can get them is be at the meeting locations. I will let everyone now when I have received the credentials and I will do a crosscheck on my list.
Parking will be kind of interesting, as the normal parking spots will be reserved for the $500.00 donation to the NCM. This is for lots A and B. Lot C will be reserved for handicapped people. The only other parking will be the grass lot over at Gate D and the Motorsport Park. There will be other parking spots announced as we go along to the kickoff. There will be shuttle buses running continuously through the day starting at 700am to 600pm.
Activities have been added to the schedule to help round out your NCM experience. You can click on the link below to see what options exist. Some of these activities do require advance sign up and payment.
I will be ordering some clings and flags for those that are interested. If you want one or two, please let me know.
The 25th Anniversary Celebration will start on the 28th so the vendors will be there but on that day, there will be only touring sessions at the Motorsport Park in the morning and afternoon along with Karting from 1200 noon to 700pm.
As usual, caravan flags and static clings are available for sale. The Caravan flag will be $15.00 and the static cling will be $10.00. Once I have enough orders, I will place an order and either ship them or give them to you when I see you.
That's about it at this time. I will have updates as they occur.

On the fourth day of Christmas L-i-i-i-n-n-d-t gave to meeeee, some tasty chocolate to share with y-o-o-u-u.
Before I get into all of that though I wanted to share a delicious creation I made from a few Lindt goodies and some Almond Milk. I'm a big fan of quick, delicious drinks and food, because often I don't have much time to really sit and bake or cook, even though I really wish I did. This Strawberry and Coconut Milkshake won't take you more than ten minutes to make…less if you're not worried about making it look pretty, making it the perfect treat to serve to your friends and family over the festive season.
Put two Lindor Balls (Strawberries and Cream and Coconut) in a food processor with a block of Dark Lindt chocolate, a strawberry and some chunks of coconut. Blend it all together and mix it with the Almond Milk. Sit back and sip on your tasty milkshake.
As I mentioned over and above the tasty milkshake recipe I created for you, Lindt is giving away a chocolate hamper worth R1200. To enter the 12 days of LINDT Christmas giveaway read on about how to create your very own chocolaty wreath head on over to my Facebook Page! It's running for today only so get on over!
What you'll need:
- LINDOR Milk Chocolate Truffles (we tied red ribbon on one end and used 20 truffles)
- 30-50cm wire wreath frame
- Floral tape (or hot glue gun)
- Clippers
- Foliage
- Berries
- Ribbon bow
What you'll need to do:
1. Gather all the materials and lay them out on a large, flat surface.
2. Assemble wreath by taking pieces of cut foliage and tying them with tape to the frame. Follow the natural curve of the branches.
3. Continue layering pieces in the same direction, taping tightly. Exposed wire will get covered as you go.
4. When you have come all the way around, simply tape ends tightly to one another. Cut tape and do a few extra twists to secure.
5. Cover any visible wire by using small stems. Add decorative elements, such as berries.
6. Place the Lindor truffles around the wreath and wire or glue gun in place. Add bow and secure with wire or glue gun.
Here's an a picture of the tasty choccies you could be snacking on before Christmas Day!

There's A 'Stranger Things' Eggo Waffle Card Game, Because We Can't L'Eggo of a Meme
Posted on Friday, October 13th, 2017 by Hoai-Tran Bui
Card games are about to get…stranger.
Stranger Things became a pop culture phenomenon in 2016, launching an obsession with the '80s, B-movie horror, and Eggo Waffles. The latter is slightly unrelated to the other two, but became a popular artifact after fan-favorite character Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) gained an obsession with the frozen breakfast snack. What was once a compelling emotional beat was now a meme that graced the walls of every Stranger Things pop-up bar across the country. And now, it's a card game. Yeah, I'm just as confused as you.
Hasbro announced the release of an Eggo Waffles-based card game called Stranger Things: Eggo Card Game. No, you don't play with cards made of Eggo (that would be kind of gross), nor are the cards Eggo-flavored (also a little gross). The only thing the game really has to do with Eggos is that the cards are shaped like the frozen breakfast, with the game itself having little to do with eating a balanced meal.
According to io9, the game consists of 106 Eggo cards, 7 character cards, instructions, and..some sort of goal to summon the Demagorgon, according to io9. Which sounds like the game could run into all sorts of copyright issues with Dungeons and Dragons.
Hasbro released a statement about the rules of the game (via io9):
Play as your favorite characters from the hit NETFLIX Series STRANGER THINGS with the STRANGER THINGS: EGGO CARD GAME! To begin, players choose to play as Will, Mike, Lucas, Dustin, Eleven, Hopper, or Barb and draw four EGGO cards with a variety of suspenseful outcomes. Cards can either send a player's character to the UPSIDE DOWN, make an opponent draw 2, reverse the order of play, summon the DEMOGORGON, or cause a rift that sends everyone who was RIGHT SIDE Up to the UPSIDE DOWN, and vice versa! To win and escape the UPSIDE DOWN, get rid of all your EGGO cards before the DEMOGORGON attacks or be toast! Game includes 106 EGGO-shaped game cards and 7 character cards.
It sounds like it's vaguely based on the plot of Stranger Things, with the Eggos periphery to the actual rules — so what's the point of making it Eggo-themed anyways? Make it about an Eggo thief spewing the famous catch phrase, or bust.
The Stranger Things Eggo Waffle Card Game will be released later this fall, and will be available for $15.
Stranger Things will return for its second season on Netflix on October 27, 2017.

I've been out of TE for a while, but I see you're still posting regularly. Of course I could have chosen any one of half a dozen of your recent images, but I'll content myself with this: beautifully slight under-exposure, near-symmetrical composition, shy kid to give a meaningful focal point. Great work.

To Raise Happy Kids, Put Your Marriage First – Looking for the Problem in Yourself First
Psychologist Carl Jung said, "If there is anything we wish to change in the child, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could better be changed in ourselves." More often than not, our children's behavior is the result of a self-fulfilling prophecy, which is why we worry so much about it in the first place. To Raise Happy Kids, Put Your Marriage First argues, "We can spot our own faults more easily in others than in ourselves. What irritates us most about others is often a fault we actually possess in our own character."
Code explains that parents need to stop overreacting or denying the problem's existence; rather acknowledge and define its consequences. Start by tracing it back to its roots in your family history. Code provides this fabulous anecdote of martyrdom, which helps readers understand how we not only share our ancestors physical characteristics but also their knee-jerk reactions as well. "In essence, you're retrenching the neuronal pathways that were carved into your brain as a child by your family's imprinting process." By noticing a pattern, researching its origin as many generations back as possible, and getting clear on how you play a role in your family, you will get a "chance to fix the cause of your life's drama, rather than just flailing at the symptoms."
The next step is to view your child's problem as a sign of anxiety in you or your marriage. "Have you ever come home tense from work and snapped at your kid?" Code maintains that's an obvious example of the phenomenon he's describing. "There are a thousand subtle ways that we unknowingly spray our stress and anxiety onto our spouse and children." In other words, it's the reason why your kids have a crisis as soon as you get on the phone. Code claims, "The problems show up because it is the worst possible moment." Until we take responsibility for our own drama, problems will persist.
Code believes the solution lies in the answers to the following questions: Who inspires us in life? Is it the people who were dealt a great hand and played it well? Or is it the people who were dealt a worse hand than you, and played their hands like a champ? "A poker player will tell you that any hand's a winner and any hand's a loser; it's all about what you do with what you've got."
The reality is that we all have excellent "reasons" why our life may not have turned out exactly as planned. But, as Code reminds us, wasting time and energy blaming others, recalling obstacles, and dwelling on unlucky breaks prevents us from making progress. Whether you want your kid to be more assertive, more social, or more focused, then Code argues you need to take Carl Jung's words to heart. "Children are educated by what the grown-up is and not by his talk."
