I used to have dental problems. Now the hygienist jokes that I don't need her.
Dental health is related to overall health in much more than a causative fashion - diet and overall health drive dental health, too.
Fish oil is a good start, but foods containing vitamin C and its cofactors also help gum health. High mineral content in the diet and adequate exposure to sunlight (for vitamin D) strengthen the teeth (research has shown a direct correlation between most and least daylight in school buildings and students' number of caries - by a factor of 9).
The expensive rinses are not necessary. A few bites of good aged cheese are much more pleasurable and will outcompete bad bacteria, too. Baking soda with a few drops of essential oil - thyme or wild oregano, maybe a little peppermint - does an amazing job polishing teeth and eliminating plaque, very inexpensively.
Xylitol is fine for many people, incidentally, but can contribute to IBS and other digestive disorders. There are better alternative.
Just a tip for people who have starters, but don't like extremely tangy sourdough bread... the starter will separate into a thicker starter and on top, a layer of hooch (liquid), sometimes when you proof the starter and definitely during when you store it in the fridge or wherever. Instead of stirring the liquid back in, pour it off. It will take a lot of the "sourdough" flavor out of your bread.
In the classic San Francisco sourdough culture you find not only a unique species of yeast, but also a lactobacillus.
Yeast turn sugar into carbon dioxide and alcohol. Lactobacilli turn sugar into lactic acid--which tastes sour.
This particular pair make a perfect symbiotic unit. Most yeast can digest any kind of sugar, but this particular species of yeast can digest any except maltose--which is a key sugar in grain products. Lactobacilli can only digest maltose--so this pair doesn't compete for that. Also, the Lactobascillus needs certain amino acids--which (it turns out) it can get from dead yeast cells. There's info about the pair here.
There's another you you can get a sour taste, which is from acidobactors, which turn alcohol into acidic acid. This is how wine turns into vinager. I don't know if it's an important part of the way sourdough tastes sour--it may be, at least some of the time.
In practice, or so I've read, the culture that will grow best varies from place to place. Whether you start with baker's yeast from the store or a fancy San Francisco starter, after a few cycles of feeding, you'll end up with whatever grows best in your kitchen.
You can also request a copy of your personnel file. This would probably contain title and job description, plus anything they might use against you in a dispute.
I had a job in NY 9 years ago with the home office in PA. I went to unemployment in NY and was told they would not pay; I should contact unemployment in PA about benefits. PA said I was under the hours/days required in the part of the year I was laid off and did not pay. I tried again six months later and I got the benefits. Persistence pays - but it was hell in the hallway.
Keep any pay stubs and letters from employers. Always.
My wife is the ultimate piggy bank feeder, I mean we have pigs, cows, frogs, nekko cats, huge glass jars about 2 feet high a foot wide full of coins. She puts coins in anything that has a cover.
She saved so much we had enough for a down payment on our first home in Hawaii. So that is why I'm proud to say she is the piggy bank concept saving queen.
Hi, I have a Clarion VRX746VD and bought it in the middle east a couple of years ago and is region 3.
I am from Australia and now in Spain and want to play DVD'd for the kids on road trips, but region setting makes it hard.
Are you guys able to help me?
Spending half a million on a house? You want a pity party?
Well, if you can easily and truley afford the payments. Then I am happy for you. You should decide how you should spend your hard earned money and I agree with you.
But for the people who have spent what you have on a house, knowing thta they should have lived within their means, and cannot afford it because of a stupid decision, I have no pity.
If I have $500,000 to spend, I can ell you right now that I would spend no more than $100,000 on a house for my family of four. Why? Just because I can buy a house for $400,000 does not mean I can afford it, and it does not mean it is a good idea.
That sucks. People like you who have done the right things, the things that you are supposed to do in this life should get help with what you are going through. I hope that it all works out for you, I truley do. As for myself, my family have our own problems to deal with.
I do not think that it is fair that people are getting bailed out when they made bad decisions. Such as agreeing to a buy a $500,000 house when they can only afford half that. They deserve no bail out.
I dont want my taxes to go towards somebody who has to drive and live in status symbols, when they should have lived within their means. It is not fair.
I just wanted to update everyone on the status of my request 3 months ago for anyone to send me their story (positive or negative) regarding dealings with Marty Sweeten. I have received 7 replies with email to confirm the story and all have been negative outcomes. I urge ANYONE with a positive outcome to email me at nwguy2005@gmail.com and share that with me. I only ask that you be willing to give some details so I can confirm the story. It appears that the "positive" remarks above are either Marty himself or someone he has asked to post in order to add credibility to his company. I will update this again in 1 month. Thank you.
Of course cursing at a customer is never ever warranted.
But the error was made by the buyer. Paypal sows you the ship to address during checkout. Then after you purchase you'll get a receipt that also shows the ship to address. I don't think the seller is to blame for not asking that the information the buyer gave them is what they really meant. Given that the buyer made the mistake I think asking for a refund isn't fair and you shouldn't expect one.
I just had to call them out here, because we use click-clacks a lot, although the one problem I haven't figured out is how to clean gunk out of the seals.
Mom always uses a big Tupperware bowl (what we would call a bread bowl or popcorn bowl) when letting bread rise (she used to make a quadruple batch each week). It'll pop the lid when it's time to punch it down. It looks like the current descendant of that bowl is http://order.tupperware.com/pls/htprod_www/tup_show_item.show_item_detai... .
Also, what kinds of pans do you use? I've been looking for 2 quart glass or ceramic loaf pans off and on for a number of years now, but they don't seem to be very common.
I like your article about how this book helped you and can help others. I am currently trying to set up a home network so that my wife and I can use the internet together. I think this book might be able to help me out. Hope I can get one to review.
My mother in law makes sour dough bread for special occasions and it is phenomenal. It is definitely one of my favorite flavored breads, right up there with pumpernickel, I would eat it every day if I could.
BTW - Steph - your husband may have been covered under the WARN Act. Talk to a labor lawyer - the laid off may be entitled to back pay. (This is what the window factory workers in Chicago got.)
Ugh. I have had three employers try this over the years. One when one of our kids was seriously ill in the hospital. Copies of the doctors strict instructions that the child was only being released because I could provide the treatment needed at home was all it took to convince the unemployment office that I was in the right.
If you live in a right to work state it frequently comes down to WHY you were fired not if you were fired. Since they can fire you because it is Friday or the wind is blowing they have to prove misconduct, not simply accuse it.
Keeping copies of emails, benefits information and the like at home not in your office is critical since many employers now give people no warning when they let a batch of people go. One place shut off access to the benefits website when they let everyone go so many people could not get the 3rd party company information for things like their 401k.

What the heck... that's where the sourness comes from in sour dough? Interesting post. I never really liked sour dough though =P
