Your gums aren't just for show—they also play an important role in supporting and protecting your teeth. Healthy gums are essential for healthy teeth.
Your gums can take a lot from daily chewing or other environmental factors. Unfortunately, disease or trauma can weaken their resilience. This weakening could lead to gum recession.
Gum recession occurs when the tissues covering a tooth begin to lose their attachment and shrink back (recede). As a result, the tooth appears "longer" as more of it that's normally below the gum line becomes visible. Not only is gum recession unattractive, it also exposes more of the tooth to disease-causing bacteria.
The most common cause for gum recession is periodontal (gum) disease, an infection arising from the accumulation of a thin bacterial biofilm on the teeth called plaque. Infected gums become inflamed, a normal defensive response to isolate diseased or damaged tissues from the rest of the body. Chronic inflammation, however, weakens affected tissues over time and results in bone loss.
Other factors can also contribute to gum recession. A tooth that didn't erupt properly and has come in away from the center of its protective bony housing can impede adequate gum coverage. Your gum tissue thickness, which you genetically inherit, can also increase the risk of gum recession. People with thinner gum tissues are more susceptible to recession than with thicker tissues.
You can also damage your gums (ironically) while trying to care for them. Over-aggressive brushing over time may traumatize the gums to the point that they recede. While it's essential in removing disease-causing dental plaque, brushing only requires a gentle scrubbing action covering all portions of tooth surfaces. The brush bristles and mild abrasives in the toothpaste do most of the work of plaque removal.
To minimize the chances of gum recession, you should practice proper oral hygiene and visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and checkups. And you might also consider orthodontics for improperly positioned teeth that could not only improve your smile, but also your gum health.
And by all means see your dentist if you notice any signs of gum infection like swollen, reddened or bleeding gums. The sooner you begin gum disease treatment, the less likely your gums will recede in the future.
If you would like more information on recognizing and treating gum recession, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Gum Recession: Getting Long in the Tooth."
Porcelain veneers are a great way to enhance an unattractive smile. But are they appropriate for teenagers? The answer usually depends on a patient's current development stage and the type of veneer used.
Veneers are thin layers of porcelain bonded to the front of teeth. But even though quite thin, they can appear bulky if we don't first remove some of the tooth's enamel surface. This is irreversible, so the tooth may require a restoration from then on.
This could be a major issue for teens whose permanent teeth are still developing. During this period the tooth's central pulp is relatively large and the dentin layer not fully developed. As a result, the pulp's nerves are often closer to the surface than in an adult tooth. This increases risk of nerve damage during veneer preparation; if nerve damage occurs, the tooth could ultimately require a root canal treatment to save it.
On the other hand, some types of veneers don't require tooth alteration (or only very little) beforehand. These "no-prep" or "minimal prep" veneers are best for certain situations like abnormally small teeth, so we must first determine if using such a veneer would be appropriate for your teen.
In effect, we'll need to weigh these and other factors before determining if veneers are a safe choice for your teen. That being the case, it may be more advisable to consider more conservative cosmetic techniques first. For example, if enamel staining is the main issue, you could consider teeth whitening. Although the often amazing results eventually fade, whitening could still buy some time until the teeth have matured to safely apply veneers.
Slight deformities like chipping can often be corrected by bonding tooth-colored composite material to the tooth. In artistic hands it's even possible to create a full veneer effect with very little if any tooth preparation. How much we can apply, though, depends on tooth size, and it won't be as durable as a porcelain veneer.
With that said, veneers could be the right solution to enhance your teen's smile. But, we'll need to carefully consider their dental situation to ensure their new smile remains a healthy one.

Once upon a time, celebrities tried hard to maintain the appearance of red-carpet glamour at all times. That meant keeping the more mundane aspects of their lives out of the spotlight: things like shopping, walking the dog and having oral surgery, for example.
That was then. Today, you can find plenty of celebs posting pictures from the dentist on social media. Take Julianne Hough, for example: In 2011 and 2013, she tweeted from the dental office. Then, not long ago, she shared a video taken after her wisdom teeth were removed in December 2016. In it, the 28-year-old actress and dancer cracked jokes and sang a loopy rendition of a Christmas carol, her mouth filled with gauze. Clearly, she was feeling relaxed and comfortable!
Lots of us enjoy seeing the human side of celebrities. But as dentists, we're also glad when posts such as these help demystify a procedure that could be scary for some people.
Like having a root canal, the thought of extracting wisdom teeth (also called third molars) makes some folks shudder. Yet this routine procedure is performed more often than any other type of oral surgery. Why? Because wisdom teeth, which usually begin to erupt (emerge from beneath the gums) around age 17-25, have the potential to cause serious problems in the mouth. When these molars lack enough space to fully erupt in their normal positions, they are said to be "impacted."
One potential problem with impacted wisdom teeth is crowding. Many people don't have enough space in the jaw to accommodate another set of molars; when their wisdom teeth come in, other teeth can be damaged. Impacted wisdom teeth may also have an increased potential to cause periodontal disease, bacterial infection, and other issues.
Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed; after a complete examination, including x-rays and/or other diagnostic imaging, a recommendation will be made based on each individual's situation. It may involve continued monitoring of the situation, orthodontics or extraction.
Wisdom tooth extraction is usually done right in the office, often with a type of anesthesia called "conscious sedation." Here, the patient is able to breathe normally and respond to stimuli (such as verbal directions), but remains free from pain. For people who are especially apprehensive about dental procedures, anti-anxiety mediation may also be given. After the procedure, prescription or over-the-counter pain medication may be used for a few days. If you feel like singing a few bars, as Julianne did, it's up to you.
If you would like more information about wisdom tooth extraction, please call our office to arrange a consultation. You can learn more in the Dear Doctor magazine articles "Wisdom Teeth" and "Removing Wisdom Teeth."

This is John Coltrane's Giant Steps. It's considered one of the most important jazz albums of all time, it cemented John Coltrane as a legend among jazz saxophonists and composers, and it's home to one of the most one of the most revered and feared compositions in jazz history.
The reason why the album's title track is so iconic can be heard in its first few seconds. Coltrane wrote these unique chord changes for Giant Steps, and later went on to use them over traditional jazz standards. These chords came to be known as the Coltrane Changes — and improvising over them is considered a rite of passage for jazz musicians.
But, if you don't understand a lick of music theory, it's hard to see how this is so legendary.
So there's a moment in the Giant Steps recording that really illustrates just how demanding this song is. It happens when Tommy Flanagan, the pianist on the record, starts his solo.
The story goes that John Coltrane brought in the music, he shows up ready to go and then calls he this really fast tempo. If you hear on the recording, Tommy Flanagan just cannot handle the chord progressions as they're going by. His improvisation is very halted. And Tommy Flanagan's just holding on for dear life. It really becomes apparent how much he struggled, when you hear Coltrane take off at lightning speed the second Flanagan stops.
And then it becomes one of the most legendary recordings of all time.
To understand why this was so difficult for even a highly trained pianist, we need to know three basic concepts and it all starts with this: the circle of fifths – it's kind of like a color wheel for music. All twelve notes of the western musical scale are on it, but you might notice they're a little mixed up That's because they're organized by a very special number in music… a fifth.
What's a fifth? It's like if you're in the C-major scale, you go C, D, E, F, G – right? 1,2,3,4,5. From C to G is five notes, from G to D is five notes and… well you get the idea.
If you play through the circle you'll traverse the entire keyboard starting on the lowest C and ending up on the highest C. It sounds much more harmonious than just playing all the notes in order. That's because the fifth is a sound that our ears just like.
Whenever we're hearing anything, whenever we're hearing people sing… whenever we're hearing people play music, we're hearing these other notes, these overtones alongside the pitches that they're playing. When I play this C, the first two loudest tones that are pushed through the air are both C, one is just an octave higher. But other tones travel to our ears as well. The third loudest is a G, which happens to be a fifth above C.
In 1973, Leonard Bernstein demonstrated this phenomenon live on a grand piano at Harvard. Listen closely after he hits that note.
Bernstein: What do we hear now? That G, right? A new tone. Again, clear as a bell. You want to hear it again?
These overtones are kind of like subliminal tones that you're hearing alongside a regular note. And you're hearing these overtones everywhere. A lot of western music is based on the power of the fifth, especially how it relates so strongly back to its home chord.
In the case of the key of C major we have the G chord resolving to C. And if you're thinking about what the G chord represents, it represents kind of tension. You want this to resolve. When it finally does resolve, Adam: it creates this feeling of finality, it creates a feeling of home. That five to one relationship is present in a lot of chord progressions, including the most common one found in jazz.
The 2-5-1
The 2-5-1 essentially is like the backbone of most jazz music. Even in its most basic form it sounds super jazzy. So it comes as no surprise the Coltrane Changes are just chock full of them. Which might raise the question: Why was Tommy Flanagan caught off guard when he had to improvise over them?
Well, the Coltrane Changes aren't in one key, they're in three keys. They're basically a musical MC Escher painting. So each one of these rungs on the circle of fifths represents every possible key center. The closer a key is to another, the more notes they have in common.
Like the C major and G major scale – they're only different by one note, an F#.
Okay, we need an analogy to describe this. The way that I like to think about keys is kind of like languages that you have to learn as a jazz improviser.
You have to be able to be fluent in a key. Like maybe C is Spanish and G is Portuguese. Those are very similar languages.
If that's the case, like okay maybe C is Spanish and you have a distantly related language like maybe Japanese. Let's say Japanese is B. There's not much in common with those two languages. And it's the same with keys. If you play those scales over each other… It sounds a lot more discordant. For the most part, most pop music is based around one of these key centers. For instance, Carly Rae Jepsen's "Cut to the Feeling" is in A major. But some songs modulate to another key for dramatic effect. Like Beyonce's "Love on Top."
Part of the reason why it's really exciting is because you're going to a place that's really distant on the circle of fifths. And you're creating a new sense of home. Which is exactly what "Love on Top" does. But, it doesn't just happen once, it happens every time she repeats the chorus towards the end of the song. And when you chart that sort of thing along the circle of fifths, patterns emerge.
These types of patterns are what fascinated John Coltrane in the late 1950s and '60s as he was trying to push jazz harmony to its limits. This is his study of the circle of fifths. I think what makes Giant Steps really special is that it really just, it just documented an artist doing something super unique, super stylistic, and virtuosic at the same time.
Here's the first 16 bars of Giant Steps again, with just the key changes highlighted. If you chart those changes on the circle of fifths it comes out as a pretty dramatic pattern. That's because these keys are separated by major thirds, which divide an octave into 3 equal parts.
On the circle of fifths these three keys are as far apart as possible from each other. Giant Steps is kind of like you're shifting from Spanish to Arabic to Japanese very quickly. By quickly, he means like every two beats in a song that's nearly 300 bpm. It's not only just like you're saying one word per language, you're having to construct a sentence out of the language.
And how does Coltrane make those disparate languages connect? With one of the most ubiquitous phrases in jazz, the five one. What he's doing is taking some of the conventional ideas of tonal harmony, the conventional relationships between the five chord and the one chord and applying it to this very chaotic circling, sort of chord progression that is the Coltrane Changes.
So if we were all in the same key, it would sound like this. But because we're going from key center to key center, it sounds very different. This is why the Coltrane Changes are like this picture here. Even though you're seeing things from a completely new perspective you still feel like you've made it home somehow.
When Tommy Flanagan saw the charts for Giant Steps he knew he wasn't going to just have to play this chord progression – he was going to have to improvise over it. very quickly. That was probably so funny, he was probably like, "What?!"
It is a bit of a rite of passage to say that you not only can improvise on Giant Steps, but you can also improvise in all 12 keys. Now, generations of jazz musicians are approaching Giant Steps as the sort of pinnacle of improvisation.
Wait. I think I've got an analogy for this. It's like you're a cab driver and instead of only knowing one way to get somewhere, you have to know every back alley and side street just in case. It's essentially like that. You still get to the same location, but it's really interesting and you might see some really cool stuff in the neighborhood.
But ultimately I still think the music boils down to 5 1. People want to come back home.

The church was built in the 13th century. In the first half of the fifteenth century, the interior and partly the external elevations of the church were decorated with wall paintings. In 1447, it was taken by rebels who destroyed the western tower. At the beginning of the sixteenth century, the southern aisle was built, and in the seventeenth century, the tower was rebuilt and a wall was built around the church. Despite the Reformation, the church remained in the hands of Catholics during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Protestants received it only in 1617 and maintained it until 1679. In 1826, a new church was built in the village, and the old one gradually began to deteriorate. In 1843, however, it was renovated thanks to the efforts of Mórica Rakovski from Liptovska Štiavnica. In 1954, the building was purchased by the state and commissioned to the administration of the Liptov Museum in Ruzomberok. In the period from 1958 to 1966, the church underwent a thorough renovation and in the 1970s it was open to the public. Currently, since 2011, a further renovation has been carried out, in which a roof has been installed and murals have been restored.
The church was built in a simplified early gothic style, typical of the Liptov region as a single-nave construction with a square chancel. The southern aisle was added at the beginning of the 16th century. There are two slits and one round, romanesque window on the eastern and southern walls of the presbytery. The walls of the chancel are decorated with frescoes painted around 1420-1440 by an unknown author, influenced by the Western European style of gothic painting. It is the most extensive cycle of medieval frescoes from the life of Christ in Slovakia.

'Lady Bird: A Biography of Mrs. Johnson' by Jan Jarboe Russell
LBJ's first lady remains his fiercest defender
Sunday, August 22, 1999
By Elizabeth Bennett
Three years into her research for this book, Jan Jarboe Russell got an icy letter from Lady Bird Johnson abruptly ending their interviews. The former first lady, now 86 and living in Austin, Texas, had been freely cooperating with Russell until the longtime writer for Texas Monthly wrote an article saying Lyndon Johnson's accent made him sound like "the last of the big hicks."
LBJ had been dead almost 25 years, but an injured Mrs. Johnson was still functioning as his chief defender, Russell explains in this absorbing, well-researched biography.
It includes new details about how demanding and disloyal the former president could be, particularly to his own wife. It examines Lady Bird's life as a mother and finds it lacking. And it portrays her as an "eternal girl" of the 1950s who stood by her man regardless of how he treated her.
Lady Bird's identity and power came solely from her husband, as Russell makes clear, but the former first lady wielded surprising influence. Often viewed as a minor figure, she is shown to have played a central role in her husband's life and political career.
Born Claudia Alta Taylor near the tiny community of Karmack, she got her nickname from a black nurse, who pronounced her "purty as a lady bird." Her mother, Minnie, died when Lady Bird was 5, and a maiden aunt moved in with the little girl and her two older brothers and their rich, philandering, domineering father.
Enduring a nickname and a hooked nose that embarrassed her, Lady Bird fought back by excelling in school, making straight A's in her senior year. In 1934, after graduating cum laude from the University of Texas with degrees in history and journalism, Lady Bird met LBJ and was smitten.
A 26-year-old administrative aide to U.S. Rep. Richard Kleberg, heir to Texas' fabled King Ranch, LBJ proposed to her on their first date, and they were married 10 weeks later.
Life changed dramatically for Lady Bird when she moved from Texas to Washington, D.C., in 1934 with her new husband, who would soon be elected to the House.
LBJ rose early and worked from his bed, conducting meetings while Lady Bird hid under the covers. He expected to be served coffee in bed every morning, along with the morning newspaper, and he expected his wife to have meals ready at all hours of the day and night.
"When asked if she resented doing any of these chores, Lady Bird said, 'Heavens no. I was delighted to do it. I adored him,' " Russell writes.
"To hear her talk about him is to understand how happy she was just to be in the same room with him, to listen to him talk long into the night with friends, to simply breathe the same air."
The real challenges in her marriage would come later as the driven, politically ambitious LBJ became increasingly demanding and difficult to live with and relied increasingly on his wife.
Using her inheritance and the skills she learned running her husband's office, Lady Bird would later buy a radio station in Austin and become a savvy businesswoman.
"In time, she became a multimillionaire in her own right -- the only first lady in history to have built and retained a fortune with her own money," writes Russell.
But the biggest challenge Lady Bird faced was LBJ's infidelities. Perhaps his most famous fling was with Alice Glass, the mistress and later wife of Charles Marsh, the wealthy publisher of the Austin American-Statesman and one of LBJ's primary patrons.
Good-looking and smart, Glass was also "openly seductive, the very embodiment of all that Lady Bird repressed in herself," Russell writes. The affair went on for years and was common knowledge, but Lady Bird maintained a lifetime of official silence about it, telling friends she never really believed it happened.
Russell also writes in some detail about LBJ's special friendship with Helen Gahagan Douglas, the former actress and California congresswoman who lost her bid for the U.S. Senate to Richard Nixon.
Several former LBJ staffers told Russell the two -- both liberal Democrats whose desks were close together in the House of Representatives -- had been lovers. LBJ could also be the ultimate bad boy with women, once placing his hand under the skirt of a female friend sitting next to him in full view of Lady Bird, who ignored it. And he bragged about having sex with half a dozen women in the White House.
But, like Eleanor Roosevelt, her role model in the White House, Lady Bird refused to play the part of the wronged wife. Instead, she battled her private misery by spearheading worthy causes, including the beautification of America and her crusade on behalf of the environment. In one of their many conversations, Lady Bird confessed to Russell:
"Lyndon bullied me, coaxed me, at times even ridiculed me but made me more than I would have been. …All I can say is I had a great love affair. No matter what, I know he loved me best."
In the end, her bargain, difficult as it may have been at times, paid off, Russell concludes: "Lady Bird wound up with it all -- their family, their vast fortune, even the admiration that the public has denied her husband."
Elizabeth Bennett is free-lance writer and reviewer based in Houston.

Hello all, Dragonofelder here! I use a combination of my computer, my iPod and a school computer to interact with the wiki, and I think I do it sort of well. I only found out about the Yogscast in 2012, so I'm sort of new. However I'm happy to be here.
I like a good story, as you can see below, and have made a few myself. Anyone know when the next Hicup book is out? I also have an account on Fanfiction.net, where my main story is Tekkit Tales. It might take a while.
As a Rollbacker, I can undo griefed pages. Just message me if you find a griefed page. Course I might find it my self...

Bertha is a female bus driver who drives buses for Third Street School. She has appeared in multiple episodes, even being part of the main storyline on one occasion.
She drives a yellow school bus that she has nicknamed "Old Smokey", which is seen taking the children on a field trip in "Operation Field Trip". In the episode, the school bus breaks down on a count of it being really old and used which upsets Bertha greatly. The kids, lead by Gretchen and Spinelli, use parts that are laying around to fix the broken down bus which is seen to be working better than ever.

Psychotherapists agree that our parents have a profound impact on the people we become. By and large, your parents probably set a wonderful example for you to follow.
But what if your parents had some less-than-ideal financial behaviors? Specifically, how should you go about unlearning your parents' bad credit card habits? The key is to recognize where mom and dad went wrong and make a plan to do better on your own. Ready to get started? Take a look at the details below.
If your parents only paid minimums
Why it's a problem: Your credit card company only requires you to pay a small sum every month to keep your account in good standing. But minimum payments usually only represent 1-3% of your total balance. If your parents only paid minimums each month, they were digging themselves deeply into debt.
This is problematic for two reasons. For one thing, credit card debt carries a high interest rate. In May 2014, the average credit card interest rate hovered around 15%. If you're not paying off your balance in full every month, you'll end up paying way more for your purchases in the long run.
Also, carrying credit card debt is bad for your credit score. Thirty percent of your score comes from your credit utilization ratio; if your parents consistently used more than 30% of their available credit because they only made minimums, it's likely their scores weren't in tip-top shape. This probably made it difficult and expensive to obtain other loans.
How to do better: Make it a priority to pay your credit card bill in full each month. If this is tough for you, these tips should help:
- Make a budget – This will help you plan for your credit card spending
- Track your spending – After making a budget, you should keep tabs on how you're doing. Use your bank's online tools to help with this.
- Set alerts – Most credit card issuers allow you to set text or email alerts when your spending has hit a certain threshold. This will help keep you accountable.
If your parents paid their credit card bills late
Why it's a problem: Paying credit card bills late is one of the worst things you can do for your credit score. Thirty-five percent of your score comes from your history with paying your bills on time. If your parents made a habit of paying their credit card bills late, their credit likely suffered.
Plus, paying your credit card bill late by even a day can result in a fee. Most issuers charge $25 for the first offense and $35 for subsequent late payments. This might not seem like much, but it can really add up over time.
How to do better: If you're properly budgeting and tracking your spending (see above) you should be ready to pay your bill as soon as it comes in, so don't delay.
Once again, setting up alerts with your credit card issuer is helpful. Arrange to get a text message or email when your bill is issued, and another in advance of your due date. If you prefer the old-fashioned route, mark your calendar. Find a method that works for you and stick to it!
If your parents were constantly shuffling credit card debt around
Why it's a problem: Doing a balance transfer to pay off high interest credit card debt is a good idea if you do it carefully. But if your parents were constantly charging up their plastic then shifting the balance onto 0% cards, they weren't showing ideal credit card behavior.
First, balance transfers come at a cost. Most issuers charge a fee of 3% of the total amount you're transferring in order to move the debt. Depending on the size of your balance, this could amount to big bucks.
But more importantly, constantly shuffling debts around is a sign that your parents weren't managing their money well. Everyone overcharges sometimes, but if you're spending and budgeting carefully, this should be rare.
How to do better: If you make a mistake and end up in credit card debt, finding a good balance transfer deal can help you minimize interest charges.
But be sure to take a step back and figure out why you were forced to take this route. Maybe you need to build an emergency fund to help deal with unexpected expenses, or maybe your budget needs tweaking. Either way, take a balance transfer as a sign that you need to work on your financial habits – then be sure to do so.
The bottom line: Our parents worked hard to teach us good habits, but they may not have been perfect. If you need to unlearn some bad credit card behaviors, check back often with the Nerds – we're here to help!

Our faithful friend Freddy the Cat died an hour go, peacefully in his sleep. He had been part of our family since he was 6 months old. He was 17 years and one month old.
He was an amazing cat. Ive had a few cats in my life, but Freddy was inteilligent, funny, patient and tolerant of kids, and clever, and a wonderful personality. He had my wife wrapped round his little paw. He liked to play fight, rolling round and attack your hand, even up to a few weeks ago. Even as an old cat he was playful. If he didnt like something, he'd let you know with a little bite to your hand or ankle. He understood things you said- you could say to him "Go to bed, Freddy", and he'd get up, amble his way in the bedroon and jump on the bed and curl up. Every morning he'd would come and curl up on your chest and give you five minutes chest cuddle, then over to my wife, five minutes fior her, then he'd slink off and curl up in one of his favorite spots somewhere, the living room settee, in the greenhouse, under the trees at the bottom of the garden. He gave us so much pleasure and love.
He loved fish. He'd quite happily sit next t oyou if you had a meal with prawns or fish in eat and eat all the seafood for you. In fact, he'd eat almost anything, including cheese, crisps, curry, pasta and marmite on toast. Freddy loved his food.
.FILE0018 - Copy.JPG
He even had his own Wicker chair in the garden. We were going to throw it out, put it out in the garden to take away, he claimed it. He slept on that chair for four summers in the day, until we moved here.
He invited himself to live with us. He was next doors cat, but they wouldnt let him in the house. By the time he was 6 months old, he decided he didnt like living there, so he simply started coming in our house through the two cat flaps we had. The boss cat, Simba,. liked him straight away, and they'd roll round play figting and chasing each other. He would sit in the window at watch the neighbour walk past, but we told her we didnt encourage him ,and we cant stop him coming in. He broke his leg and tooth one day, and had to be kept indoors - he was still officially the neighbours cat then. When they finally let him out there house, he rushed straight round to us, and found a favorite spot to sleep on. When the neighbours moved they just left him and the other cat they had, abandoned. So we became his family. When Simba died, he became boss cat, until there was only him left.
There will never be another cat like Freddy. He rocked our world.
RIP Freddy the Cat. 2002-2019
Best. Cat. Evar.

On 4 May, Grammy award–winning musician Lauryn Hill canceled her concert in Tel Aviv, scheduled to be held on 7 May. Her decision followed a campaign by Palestinian activists encouraging her to respect the 2004 call by the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) for artists and academic institutions not to cooperate with Israel. In an open letter to Hill on 1 April, PACBI wrote that it was
deeply troubled to learn that you are scheduled to perform in Rishon Lezion's Live Park amphitheater on May 7, 2015, while Israel continues unabatedly with its settler colonial and apartheid designs to further dispossess, oppress and ethnically cleanse native Palestinians from their homeland. As a conscientious artist who opposes racial oppression, we urge you to cancel your performance and boycott Israel until it complies with international law and ends its oppression of the Palestinian people.
Earlier in the year, Palestinian activists had established a relationship with Hill with a view to producing a black-Palestinian solidarity project that was still under way as this publication went to press. As a result, activists were able to convey the message about the boycott to Hill directly in a private setting. At the same time, there were several online campaigns calling for the musician to cancel her show—most notably a petition by the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation that garnered 11,743 signatures. Activists also launched a social media campaign using the hashtag #KillingMeSoftly, referencing Hill's hit song with the Fugees. Explaining that she wanted "to be a presence supporting justice and peace," Hill announced her decision to cancel the Tel Aviv concert on Facebook, with no reference to either the petition or the social media campaign.
Lauryn Hill is one of several international artists who have refused to perform in Israel so long as it does not comply with the demands of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. These include Roger Waters of Pink Floyd fame, Talib Kweli, Elvis Costello, Sinead O'Connor, Carlos Santana, and the late Gil Scott-Heron.
Lauryn Hill's announcement on her Facebook page.
#KillingMeSoftly is published in the Palestine Unbound section of Journal of Palestine Studies Vol. 44 No. 4.

Sermon preached by the Reverend Richard Tombaugh
May the words spoken and heard here be both spoken and heard in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Do any of you know about John the Deacon who lived in Rome about the year 500 A.D.? I certainly didn't until I began working on this sermon. He really is obscure. However, he once wrote to a friend about the meaning of Baptism and said something quite wonderful. "Baptism, he wrote, tells us who we are and who we are becoming." In other words Baptism is about our identity.
In a few minutes we will pour a tankard of water into the font and thank Almighty God for the gift of water, rehearsing the biblical events which have given water its symbolic power. We will then thank God for the living water of Baptism through which the children Shephard, Christopher and Alexandra will be made Christ's own forever. Finally, Father Lang and I will in turn reach our hands into the font, scoop up a handful of that living water and pour it on the foreheads of the three children, giving them their Christian names. These are the names by which they will be known in heaven and which mark their new identities Today will begin a process by which we and these three children will, in the words of John the Deacon, learn who they are and who they will become in the years ahead.
Every time I watch the water from the font flow over a child's forehead I am reminded of a powerful biblical image. You will recall that the Land of Israel encompasses two major bodies of water linked by the Jordan River. In the northern part of the country is the Lake of Tiberias also known as the Sea of Galilee. This lake is fed by rivers, and streams, that flow southward from the Syrian mountains. Teaming with life this lake is a symbol of the richness of the land, making the nearby desert bloom and creating lush green pastureland in wonderful abundance. The cool fresh water of the Sea of Galilee is God's gift to a thirsty country. On its shores and beneath its surface all sorts of animals, plants, fish and insects live out their lives, reproduce and die The dynamic of dying to the old and giving life to the new, of despair and exaltation and, of challenge and response is repeated endlessly in the cool freshness of the lake's living waters.
These living waters leave the Sea of Galilee and begin a long journey in the Jordan River which meanders southward down the valley around rocks, swelled by storms, shrunken by drought, constantly changing, never the same, but always fresh and rich with life as it passes along.
Sixty miles to the south the Jordan River feeds into another lake, strangely different from the Sea of Galilee. Except for some tiny brine shrimp, nothing lives in this lake called the Dead Sea. Around it is no greenery or growth of any kind. Even the trees that once grew close enough to be touched by the lake's influence are gaunt specters of life, stark skeletons encrusted by the salt that cakes everything. What has happened to the water in a few short miles? How could it have been so rich a full of life and yet so barren when it enters the Dead Sea? The answer is that nothing has happened to the water. The answer is in the geography of the Jordan Rift. The lowest place on earth, the Dead Sea, has no outlet. Its level is maintained only through evaporation. Everything it receives it keeps for itself, and the result is deadly. With nowhere to flow, the once life-giving waters become a briny soup, fit only for microscopic life, and death to any who drink it.
The promise to those who are marked as Christ's own for ever in Baptism is that their lives will forever be like the living waters of the Jordan River, ever vital, ever changing, ever fresh. In the words of John the Deacon Shephard, Christopher and Alexandra will each receive a new identity as they are grafted into the dying and rising of Jesus. In a word they will be transformed and set on a life-long journey of self discovery with the assurance that they will never ever become like the toxic water of the Dead Sea.
Today this joyful baptismal promise of new life and new identity in Christ is set in the context of the liturgical celebration of the Ascension. The Feast of the Ascension commemorates the withdrawal of Christ from his earthly ministry and his movement into heaven. Thus the Ascension marks the solemn close of the post-resurrection appearances of Christ and the end of the Easter season.
In a profound way the conjunction of Baptism with the Ascension gives deeper meaning to John the Deacon's words: Baptism tells us who we are and who we are becoming. The clue to that deeper meaning can be found in the reaction of the disciples to the Ascension. Immediately after the crucifixion of Jesus the disciples were disoriented and dismayed, lost in the confusion of sorrow and hopelessness. The post-resurrection appearances of Jesus gradually dispelled their sorrow and restored their hope. Jesus came into their midst and opened their minds to new depths of understanding. Then one day as they were again together with Jesus, Jesus ascended into heaven and left the disciples standing alone.
I can imagine that the disciples experienced this event as a shocking moment of being abandoned and left behind. Jesus had gone where they could not go. It would take some time before the disciples could understand the transforming power of letting Jesus go where they could not go.
To allow another person to find and develop his or her identity, to permit a loved one to become what that person must be for himself and not to be for us requires enormous courage. . Ascension like Baptism is about new identity. The Ascension inaugurated the new identity of Christ as Savior of the world reigning in heaven. The Ascension also inaugurated the new identities of the disciples as they began to understand and accept the loss of their Friend and Teacher. Jesus needed to complete His journey of self discovery. In time the disciples came to realize that they needed to accept and rejoice in Our Lord's transformation, as they also completed their journeys of self-discovery.
Each child baptized today is beginning a journey of self-discovery. With God's guidance each will grow into his or her new identity each in his or her own way. They will become persons for themselves and not for us. As they mature and find themselves, we may at first feel we are being left behind. We are reminded by the Ascension that what at first might feel like being left behind is a really an opportunity for transformation into fullness of life for all concerned.
Baptism begins a process of self discovery not only for the children baptized, but for all of us who travel with them on part of their journeys. Both they and we embark on a new journey. Both they and we will be part of the dynamic of dying to the old and giving life to the new, of despair and exaltation, of challenge and response that is repeated endlessly in both the cool freshness of the Jordan River's living waters and in the living water of baptism that leads to eternal life.

|The old violin - © Jelrik Nylund-van Berkel
I immediately thought of the old violin that I own. This is both an object with a soul, a history and is very honourfull. Simply something to be proud of.
Inside the violin is a note from the person who built it. The violin was built by Bartholomeus Kärner in Mittenwald an der Iser, Germany in the year 1777. So this year it celebrates its 234 birthday. I showed it to specialists and it is authentic.
In the year that the violin was built was W.A. Mozart 27 years old, France acknowledged as the first country in the world the United States as a sovereign state. The American Civil War ravaged America then. Napoleon Bonaparte's wife was born and James Cook discovered the Comoros ...
I am incredibly proud to own this violin and when I'm home alone, it makes music. My goal is to play better and better on it each time I try to play. I am originally an oboist but I do love the sound of this instrument so much...

Marriage is difficult for many couples in North Carolina. Sometimes, nuptials fall apart at the seams and result in divorce. In 2017, approximately 800,000 divorces took place in the United States. Statistics show that couples divorce for specific reasons. The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) conducted research regarding the main reasons Americans end their marriages.
Reports: "anti-crime" apps stoke fears, don't prevent crime
Apps that claim to improve neighborhood safety and vigilance about crime are popular among many people in North Carolina. However, critics say that these apps fail to make a difference in stopping actual crime but can instead stoke racist stereotypes and unnecessary fears. While violent crime is at its lowest in decades across the country, an increasing number of social media apps advertise themselves as promoting crime awareness and safety by publicizing local crime alerts and promoting discussion with fellow nearby users.

Central Humane Society is over-crowded after receiving 50 animals at once
Related Story
COLUMBIA - Forty-five cats, two birds, and three dogs are currently being housed at the Central Humane Society after a large impound on the 2700 Block of Pine Drive.
Community Engagement Coordinator of the shelter Megan McBride said the number of impounded animals was a shock to the shelter. In fact, the shelter is not taking in any other cats right now.
"Our shelter was originally designed in the 70's so we really weren't set up to house this many animals so we are definitely experiencing a crisis right now being so overwhelmed," McBride said.
The shelter reached out to community members on Facebook to ask for help. The post encouraged people to donate litter, grocery flats, metal 13x9 baking pans and small metal bowls, and monetary donations.
"We were already running a little bit low, so now we are definitely running low on all of our supplies," McBride said.
The previous owner of the animals, Joy Lassell, hopes to get four of her animals back from the shelter, especially her toy poodle Tinkerbell.
"She lives with me on my bed basically, she lives on my arm she's my little tiny Tink."
Lassell said the rest of the animals belonged to her sister who just recently moved onto her property. She believes her sister is the best caretaker for these animals instead of the Central Humane Society.
"They know nothing about them. I know my sister even though its too many animals, it is too many animals, she knows every name, every problem, the situation that happened."
Animal Control advised the resident to remove some animals from the property and have vaccination records and city licenses for each of the pets by Aug. 19. Lassell said it wasn't enough time.
The 50 animals from the impoundment are not available for adoption right now. The shelter will be waving adoption fees this weekend for all cats and kittens.
The shelter is asking anyone who finds a stray cat to care for it until the weekend is over.

Adam did a couple of days of ski school and consolidated his skiing style. He is working on parallel turns and can execute them well on the more gentle slopes.
We had a great day skiing with Adam while Finlay did a 3rd day of lessons. We skied all over the mountain from the top of Mount Pluto back to the village. We really don't have to wait for Adam these days!
Finlay's lessons have really paid off - he was able to ski back to the village without help after the first day:
On our last day we all went skiing together. The boys here in the gondola.
We really had a great time together. It's the first time that we have truly skied all together. Finlay was keen to tell everyone that he skied down Loggers Loop without holding anyone's poles.
The boys were great together; Adam looking after Finlay, and trying to lay down a good set of tracks for F to follow. The follower sometimes wants to go faster though!
Of course what they both really wanted to do was go on the Terrain Parks...but we just watched instead! I believe it's only a matter of time until I'm watching my sons hurtle over these ramps and jumps!

Missionary Impossible The Jews for Judaism Counter-Missionary Survival Guide written by Rabbi Michael Skobac and narrated by Jack Kahan
Most likely you've had at least one encounter with someone who has tried to influence you to embrace the Christian faith. It may have been a Christian friend, neighbor or business associate. Or, maybe someone approached you from a missionary group like Jews for Jesus. You may have received an unsolicited email advancing missionary arguments, or heard an invitation to "get saved" from a television evangelist while channel surfing or on the Internet. Jews for Judaism, the world's leading counter-missionary organization, has prepared this video to help you understand the tactics and respond to the claims of missionaries who challenge your faith.

Thinking about becoming a pet parent? It's one of the most rewarding things you can do! Adopting a dog or cat and adding a new member to your family is a huge step that comes with lots of responsibility and lots of joy! As our founder Marie Moody's dogs Stella and Chewy were both adult rescues, pet adoption, especially that of adult and senior pet adoption, has a special place in our hearts. We've worked with our Journey Home Fund partners and local shelter partners to share a list of things to expect when bringing a new pet into your home.
Give it time: There can sometimes be an expectation that your dog or cat will immediately feel at home and that there will be an immediate and deep bond, but this is typically not the case. Laura Oliver from Lionel's Legacy shared that it is vital for new pet parents to expect an adjustment period for their new pet and this can be especially true if there is another pet already in the home. In fact, Lionel's Legacy requires a 2 week "Sniffing Period" before finalizing adoptions. According to Laura, "[This policy] gives both the adopter and the new animal family member time to sniff each other out and get to know one another. New pets need time to figure out where to go to the bathroom, when and how to eat and how to communicate with their new family."
There may be some late nights: As your new pet gets used to their new home, there may be some late nights as they adjust. This will be especially true if your new pet is a puppy, as they are likely to need a bathroom break during the night and may whine through the night.
You'll want to establish a routine: Establishing a routine early on can be one of the best things to do for your pet. This will include feeding times, play times, and for a dog, walk times. Routines can be especially beneficial for dogs as it can help them acclimate to their new home more quickly and it can keep your pet on a schedule that works best for your lifestyle. That said, no pet will be perfect and able to stay on schedule or a routine without any varying.
You'll need the essentials: All pets will require some basic items when it comes to their care. This will vary a bit for each pet, but there are some fundamental items. This includes bowls for feeding and for water, a leash and collar/harness for a dog, a litter box for a cat. Make sure that you are as prepared as possible with the items that your pet will need.
Be ready to invest your time: When it comes to caring for a dog or cat, time is required no matter what age they happen to be. While puppies may require extra time for training, even older dogs and cats will need your time and attention. Be ready to change your routine by adding in daily walks (for dogs), daily feeding, and daily snuggles!
Consider your pet's new diet: Just like with humans, a healthy diet is one of the most vital parts of caring for a pet, and it is the most important choice you can make as a pet parent. At Stella and Chewy's, we focus on only the good stuff, sourcing premium ingredients with an emphasis on food safety because the food we make is the food we feed our own fur babies. Whether you're looking for your new dog, your new cat, or you're looking for a healthy diet that will work for a pet with allergies/special dietary needs, our food is a great option! Newman Nation shared that the transition to both a new environment and, usually, a new diet, can cause an upset stomach. To help avoid this, we do recommend a transitioning to our food slowly over the course of 7-10 days, mixing in the new food with the old food.
Expect the unexpected: While you may have everything planned or thought out, Jennifer Smieja from HAWS shares that flexibility and patience and being ready to re-think your plans will be key. Absolutely do your research on breeds and species before you adopt, and be sure to ask the adoption counselors any questions you may have about your pet specifically and adjustment in general. HAWS also offers free one-on-one consultations for anyone who adopts, for the lifetime of your pet. It's important to take advantage of programs like that and to get help from the experts before minor concerns become major issues.

HWA admits driveshaft problems "annoying, disappointing"
Ulrich Fritz says HWA and its ABB FIA Formula E powertrain supplier Venturi must urgently fix the "annoying and disappointing" driveshaft problems that have arisen at recent races.
Gary Paffett retired from last weekend's race at Sanya with a driveshaft issue, which followed his teammate Stoffel Vandoorne failing to finish the race in Hong Kong with the same problem.
Paffett also suffered a driveshaft issue in first practice for the Hong Kong event.
The driveshaft is a part of the FE powertrain that is unique to each manufacturer, rather than supplied by the championship's chassis builder Spark.
Explaining the driveshaft issues to Motorsport.com, Fritz said: "Gary was picking up pace, the strategy was to save as much energy as we could and then maybe benefit from a safety car.
"But then unfortunately we had another driveshaft problem and that really seems to be a weak point at this moment.
"We need to sort it that before Rome with our manufacturer Venturi because it is annoying and disappointing as well.
"They are working hard with their suppliers but obviously the problem hasn't been solved since Hong Kong and there are a few long hours ahead of us, I would say.
"For us it looks like it is a quality issue at the moment. We have had two driveshaft failures on Gary's car and they look like quality issues.
"So we need to get that sorted with the supplier because otherwise there is no worth going racing.
"The driveshaft is a manufacturer part, it's not our part.
"Every manufacturer has their own driveshaft. It's a Venturi part but of course they don't manufacture it themselves, they have a supplier."
Venturi declined to comment when contacted about the HWA driveshaft issue by Motorsport.com.

PROPERTY developer Bryan Rose has listed his Vaucluse home, having spent $22.45 million on Mosman's much admired Pick a Box house.
His redundant European-inspired 1940s home on Olola Ave sits directly opposite Vaucluse House.
The home has four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a home office, a yoga studio and a number of alfresco dining spaces.
Concertina doors open to the outdoor entertaining terrace and swimming pool.
McGrath Edgecliff agents Peter Starr and Alex Lyons are marketing the home for an October 7 auction with $7.5 million to $8 million price guidance.
It cost $4.62 million in 2008.
The price that Rose has paid for the Pick a Box house estate through Mark Manners at Simeon Manners is close to the record price for the north shore.
The estate was best known as the home of the Pick a Box presenters Bob and Dolly Dyer, who sold it in 1977 for $376,960 when they headed up to Queensland.
Despite renovations over the past four decades, there are still traces of the Dyers' day, including the imposing sandstone fireplace in the living room.
Set on 5150sqm, the home ranks as one of Sydney suburbs' largest private harbourfront estates. It comprises a main five-bedroom residence and a separate guesthouse.
A swimming pool, tennis court, slipway, boatshed and tidal beach make up the parcel.
Pick a Box estate was the longtime home of retired car dealer Laurie Sutton and his wife, Di, who sold the home in 2012 to the recent vendors Ying Li for $20 million.

The best shopping in Bondi
Gould Street has become the go-to destination for boutique shopping by the beach
You'll find luxury labels, organic cosmetics, locally made activewear, playful jewellery and ethically made denim all on the one strip in Bondi Beach. If all that retail therapy is making you hungry, fill up on some of the best breakfasts in the 'burb before hitting that world famous beach.
Gould Street's best boutiques
Playa by Lucy Folk
Beach blonde and rocking loose-fitting linen with a laidback attitude, Lucy Folk is right at home in her new Bondi Beach store. It's a wonder the 33-year-old jewellery designer didn't make the move from Melbourne sooner. "Obviously I'm a bit of a beach baby," says Folk, who opened her second store on Gould Street shortly after moving to the suburb herself. Playa is Lucy Folk's first concept store and it's as playful as the jewellery she creates, from taco and pizza-shaped earrings to anchovy bracelets and 'slap band' cuffs – like the ones kids were obsessed with in the '90s. "It's a reflection of my personality. I always want to channel my inner child. I never wear big structured outfits that are dark and heavy. People say I look young and it's probably because I feel it." The brand has become known for its nostalgic, joyful shapes and textures as well as for its colour and vibrancy. The Pizza Collection is one of the best selling stories for Lucy Folk and the designer says it's because "people respond well to that texture in the jewels, because [other jewellery] can be so clean and refined." The Pizza Collection is just one of the ranges stocked at Playa, which includes other brands and labels that you wouldn't usually find in Sydney – items Lucy has found on her travels – such as Moroccan linen robes by HNDWVN, swimwear by Lisa Marie Fernandez and Ibizan-made straw hats by Benoît Missolin.
Jac+ Jack Bondi Beach
Jac+ Jack have been supplying Sydneysiders with cashmere in winter and linen in summer for over a decade. Their love of all things natural and neutral extends from their fibres to their dyes to their smart unisex silhouettes. The George Livissianis-designed Bondi store (all cool concrete and warm leather) is a perfect articulation of this look. "I've lived in and around Bondi for over 20 years – it's iconic, a place to experience the quintessential Australian lifestyle, where you can live by the beach, enjoy the outdoors and still be close to the city," says the brand's co-founder Lisa Dempsey. "There is a strong local community and of course plenty of visitors especially through the summer months." If you're in the market for a relaxed white shirt, a flowing sack-dress or a pair of roll-cuffed brushed cotton trousers, you will not be disappointed. "We wanted people to feel welcome and comfortable walking in after a day at the beach. The majority of our regular Bondi customers are locals who have an appreciation for the Jac+ Jack sensibility and the lifestyle the brand embodies.
Denim CoLab
Denim CoLab opened its Gould Street store in late 2016, but as owner Omer Farhy tells us the easy-to-wear denim brand was born in Bondi where he originally had a store 20 years ago. "Since then I've been producing denim for well known Aussie brands, and I've recently come back out from hiding," he says. Farhy tells us that establishing a store on Gould Street just "felt right" as the beach lifestyle suits the brand's ethos – premium denim that's affordable and made for Aussies. "I love the barefoot, no-worries, positive outlook that so many humans possess here. There's no better place to align ourselves."They've got denim for men and women, with some unisex styles available too. You can choose from high and low waisted jeans, flares and their most popular cut – the 'boyfriend', which they sell in a number of tones so you can personalise and distress the denim to your own style. Denim CoLab's signature 'scar' is stitched onto the back of each item they make. Denim skirts start at $99 and jeans range from $159 to $179. It's all about getting your hands on denim, manufactured ethically, for under $200. Alongside all the jeans they stock vintage tees, Saltwater Sandals and leather belts to help you finish off the look. But the thing that sets Denim CoLab apart is that they actively encourage customising your denim with patches they sell in store for $6-$10.
Bondi Wash
It's rare for a headache to turn into a business idea, but that's exactly what happened to former corporate consultant Belinda Everingham. After experiencing a sore head from using a cleaning product, she thought, "Wow, if it's doing that to me, what's it doing to the environment, and to my children?" The result is Bondi Wash, an eco-friendly cleaning product company. Not that you could tell it from the bottles – Bondi Wash products look more like fancy beauty products than detergents and soaps. They sell everything from laundry detergent ($22 for 500ml) and dish soap ($18) to hand creme ($28) and a very popular yoga mat cleaner ($25), but the common thread is a passion for native Australian botanicals, like Tasmania pepper and lemon tea tree oil. You can find Bondi Wash all over the world (it's particularly popular in Japan), but their namesake suburb is the location of their pocket-sized flagship, and at present only, store. "Bondi, to me, is emblematic of something modern and Australian," says Everingham. Customers don't always walk in on two legs. Bondi Wash make very popular dog wash ($12) and conditioner ($35). "The dogs walk past and try to drag their owners in – they can tell that they're welcome."
Gould Street wouldn't be the shopping destination it is today without the longstanding fashion retailer Tuchuzy. Now in its 18th year, the boutique is a Bondi institution and draws locals and visitors through its doors week after week thanks to its reliable collections of Australian designers like Bassike and Dion Lee, as well as internationally famous brands like Acne Studios, Chloe, Missoni and Alexander Wang. Behind the pink neon sign and the impeccably dressed mannequins in the store's window, you'll find a 'Bondi starter kit' of striped cotton T-shirts, loose linen pants and vibrant bikinis from brands like Kiini, or the more muted tones of Matteau Swim. If you've arrived in Bondi and want to take a slice of the lifestyle home with you, this is where you'll find chic water bottles from S'well ($59.95), scented candles from Melbourne brand SOH ($70) and a pom pom decorated, weaved tote by Eliza Gran ($159).
Koda Cutters
You can't see much of Koda Cutters from its Gould Street shopfront. And the sign on the door that politely says 'by appointment only' suggests they'd like to keep it that way. But once you're inside the super-cool salon, their generous courtyard area, bright space and Hollywood-regency-lite furnishings will make you feel like a celeb on the downlow. Koda's creative director Diane Gorgievski is an editorial stylist who regularly does hair for Vogue, Elle and Russh photoshoots, and she founded Koda because "it was time to open a little creative space for me… I've lived in Bondi for the last 11 years and I just wanted to be down here. It has such good vibes. And I kept walking around the streets and seeing all my clients, so I knew it was the place." Lucy Folk is a regular customer – "I love what she's doing and the concept she's got going on" – alongside plenty of other breezy local fashion types. Expect to pay $50 and up for a blowdry at Koda, with haircuts starting at $100. "The Bondi clients definitely want easygoing hair that looks good for longer. I'm doing a lot of relaxed colour-work and balayage. It's hair with a bit of freedom."
Gift shopping in Bondi
Jones & Co
Off the beaten tracks of touristy Campbell Parade and upmarket Gould Street is the first gift and homewares store by the people behind Have You Met Miss Jones, Lucky Ocean Club, Mr Green Grass and Hello – four brands which operated as wholesale collections for ten years. Owner Jennifer Jones brought all four of her brands under one roof after ten years as a wholesale business, choosing Bondi because it's where she calls home. "We looked at other locations but I kept saying to my husband 'We don't know the city!' It's a Bondi Bubble. A store is such an investment of yourself that I wanted to do that in my community."
Nimble Activewear
When a when brand-new activewear store pops up on Hall Street – a couple of hundred metres back from the beach and around the corner from the ultra trendy Gould Street – the yogis, runners and yummy mummys of Bondi flock to check it out. Inside the bright white store you'll find plenty of functional and versatile leggings, crops, tees, shorts and tanks. The range uses a black-and-white palette of prints, from palm fronds and marbled surfaces to pansies and geometric patterns. Currently all products are made in Australia. The fabric chosen for most of the brand's staple pieces has a high Lycra content, meaning it is lightweight and dries fast.
Kit and Ace
Kit and Ace is the sister company to Lululemon, but although it's all about active wear, they're making it with a luxurious twist: cashmere. To make things even easier though, the fabrics they're using (yes, using the casha) are machine-washable, so you don't even need to get elbow-deep in soapy suds to wash your wares. Along with their Gould Street store, they also have stores in Bondi Junction and Surry Hills. But if you're hanging at Bondi and want to warm up in those salty climes, this is the store to hit up.
Shopping in Bondi Junction
B. Amused
If you're struggling to get your kid off a screen, this is your shop. B. Amused have floor-to-ceiling shelves of games they say will entertain kids from 0-100. At the family-run business, staff are more than willing to find the right game for your family. You'll find everything from Snap to various types of Rubik's Cubes to a full range of the Orchard Toys board games for littlies. Go home with: StoryCubes, where the dice have pictures on them and you roll them to tell a story ($18.95) or Spot It! A snap-like game kids love ($24.95).
Salt Meats Cheese Bondi Junction
The Eastern outpost of Salt Meats Cheese is your one-stop-shop for its namesake with a delicatessen, retail store and small café. You'll find it in Harris Farm Market, Westfield and inside you find a huge range of prosciutto, salami, chorizo, mozzarella, ricotta, buratta and more. You can also order up cheese and charcuterie platters and cheese wheel towers for parties and functions. You'll also find Salt Meats Cheese delis at Broadway and Drummoyne and as a pizzeria in Mosman.
Apple Store: Bondi Junction
There's a good range of Apple products are available at the brand's Bondi Junction store.
Naked Foods
From Celtic salt and chia seeds to Inca berries and raw chocolate, the bulk-buy organic food store in Bondi Junction stocks natural ingredients at appealingly low prices. Online retailer Naked Foods Organic Health Foods owns the store and there are in-store nutritionists who can help shoppers choose clean eats. Plus, filling brown paper bags with scoops of dried mango makes it feel like you're shopping in a fresh, healthy lolly shop.
Dion Lee 365 Bondi Junction
Open until September 2015, Dion Lee's temporary retail space will carry the collections Dion Lee mainline, [WATER] Swimwear and Dion Lee II, which was presented at Australian Fashion Week in April 2014. Find Dion Lee's permanent store in Sydney's Strand Arcade.

...the Title may be misleading when you see what I'm really hoping to accomplish.
I have a scenario where I store valuable information in the Spotlight Comments for many files that we deliver. I thought I had researched this before and determined that the Spotlight Comment data does not get burned in with the files. Upon double-checking this again this morning—I am wrong. These Comments do indeed get brought over into the burned versions.
I don't want anyone to see these Spotlight Comments as they are somewhat sensitive and confidential. Is there an easy way to NOT have this info. carried along into the burned versions of the files in question? Or do I need to do something like duplicate the data then remove Comments from this new set and burn it? This extra step would not be ideal, but potentially our only choice if we can't have Toast disregard these comments.

Whichmovienext.com is an amazing site, to help you find your next movie. You can pick from some great movies, and buy them right there. It's pretty cool that it tells you what the Revenue for each film is/was. I love Whichmovienext.com, and just had to share it with my fans.
Do you like to watch movies? We watch at least one each night. My 6 year old loves watching Disney movies, as does my 20 year old. We sit down and watch for hours on the weekend. My favorite movie is any Superman Movie. Those are my spouse's favorite too. She just likes them because I watch them, but that's okay.
Man of Steel was released in 2013, starring Henry Cavill and Amy Adams and received an average rating of 6.3.
On Whichmovienext.com, they tell you the Genre of the movie, and even who stars in it. You really need to check this out.
There's all kinds of movies, for all years. From A Knight's Tale, to Wall-e, to Avengers, just take a minute to take a look and while you're there order something.
You can look up the storylines, actors, etc. It really is an amazing site. I love letting my 6 year old say who he wants to see in a movie. For instance, when he says he likes Iron Man, I look up movies with Robert Downey Jr in them, or if he says "Bruce Willis, because that's who pappy likes," I can look him up as well. Me I like to look up movies by Genres, or Storylines, even. I can pick a family movie, and it's here in a few days!
I've never been so thrilled with a site, as I am with Which Movie Next. You will love it too.
What are you waiting for, click below, or above, to go visit Which Movie Next.
