Single Missing Tooth
Having a missing tooth is an undesirable condition. Missing a tooth may affect your smile, speech, ability to chew, or self-confidence. The longer a missing tooth goes untreated, the more damage that may result. Bone-loss, discomfort, and further tooth decay are just a few of the side-effects of missing teeth. At Major Dental Clinics, we understand how important it is for our patients to have proper form and function of their teeth. Major Dental Clinics is best known for their expertise with dental implants, which are considered the best replacement for single missing teeth. (To learn more about Dental Implants, CLICK HERE)
Replacing a missing tooth is as much science as it is art. A tremendous amount of time and effort is put into understanding implants and how to place them safely and effectively. Implants also require a more subtle understanding of aesthetics and natural form in order to appear and feel like real teeth. Experts in the field of aesthetic and restorative dentistry are known as prosthodontists. If you are tired of that missing tooth affecting your smile, ability to chew, or self-confidence, contact Major Dental Clinics for a complimentary consultation with an expert .

8-1 trashing of Bray Wanderers a boost before Tottenham game, says Reading manager Brian McDermott
READING boss Brian McDermott is hopeful that the Royals can kickstart their Barclays League at the Madejski Stadium when they host Tottenham on Sunday week.
The Berkshire club have played just two matches - losing against Chelsea after drawing with Stoke on the opening day.
Reading did not play last weekend as their clash with Chelsea was moved to accommodate the Blues' appearance in the Super Cup but McDermott took his side to Ireland to play a friendly against Bray Wanderers.
"I was really pleased with everything about it," he told the Reading Chronicle.
"We needed this game. By the time we play our next Premier League game, we'll have played two games and everyone else will have played four.
"We're eager to get going really - we had the Sunderland game called off, after we had gone to Chelsea and put in a great performance, a performance that deserved more."
Reading ran out 8-1 winners in the friendly and McDermott reckons the experience will help his players hit the ground running against Tottenham.
He said: "So now, we're looking forward to the game against Spurs. It's a great league - the lads are loving every minute of it.
"A lot of players needed the 90 minutes and everyone came through unscathed and with a game under their belts. That was really important.
"We certainly did things right on Sunday. The most important thing was to get the game in, get a performance and get some goals. We've done just that."

While we've been tracking its status since last year, and when it was put forth this year and passed its third reading, I forgot to post when Ontario's Holodomor bill received it's Royal Assent last week – making it official:
Ontario will observe Holodomor Memorial Day, after a private member's bill originally spearheaded by Brant MPP Dave Levac received Royal Assent.
Bill 147, which Lt.-Gov. David Onley signed into law late Thursday afternoon, sets aside the fourth Saturday in November each year as the day that Ontarians commemorate victims of the Holodomor, the manmade famine of Ukraine.
"This marks an important day for Ukrainian-Canadians and especially for the family and friends who fell victim of the Holodomor," Levac said in a telephone interview after the signing.
"Through the creation of a Holodomor Memorial Day, we mend a wrong in world history and in defiance to tyranny and oppression, continue to preserve the culture, heritage and way of life of the Ukrainian people.
"Royal Assent will allow us to never forget these horrors from the past."
The Holodomor is the name given to the famine in Ukraine from 1932 to 1933, engineered by the regime of Josef Stalin to consolidate what was then a province of the Soviet Union.
About 10 million Ukrainians are thought to have perished from the regime's policies of forced collectivization of agriculture that created mass starvation in an area that was a grain breadbasket, because nearly all production was sold abroad for cash to afford a costly industrial policy.
You can view the bill here, which is the province's first-ever tri-sponsored private members' bill passed by MPP's Dave Levac of Brant, Frank Klees Newmarket-Aurora, Cheri DiNovo of Parkdale-High Park. Congratulations!
So now that's Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, the entire country and parts of the USA – where to next? 🙂

Month: September 2010
I read today in Wired magazine that Velveeta really isn't cheese; since 2002, it has officially been a pasteurized, prepared cheese product. I'm all for truth in labeling, but I must stand up for Velveeta. How well I remember the foot-long square loaf my mother would produce from the refrigerator, the peeling back of the foil, and then the appearance of the magical slicer, that ingenious combination of a wire strung parallel to a roller from which fell perfectly uniform slices of this most perfect food, excellent in grilled cheese sandwiches, sublime when layered with liverwurst. Almost plastic, truly fantastic.
Franklin Booth
Franklin Booth (1874-1948) was an illustrator who used pen and ink and left the rest to your imagination, and his work just thrills me. It's magical. Again, I am indebted to Golden Age Comic Book Stories for this image, and many more, from "The Car That Went Abroad" in Century Magazine, July and August, 1914.
Thanks to the alarmingly talented and perceptive Shannon Wolfe, I have been introduced to a site, Golden Age Comic Book Stories, that overwhelms with its riches. Take, for example, a blog entry devoted to canoes in the art of N.C. Wyeth and Frank Schoonover. What a gift.
The Mail Must Go Through
Spy Smasher
I want to wear this button.
Spy Smasher (whose real name was Alan Armstrong) was a master detective who got around in the "Gyrosub" — a combination airplane, auto and submarine. Created by Bill Parker and C. C. Beck, Spy Smasher was introduced in Whiz Comics #2 (February 1940) and adapted into a 12-part film serial for Republic Pictures with Kane Richmond as the title character (an American agent in Nazi-occupied France who was originally believed to have been killed in a plane crash) and his identical twin brother. Cool or what?
Spy Smasher's Nazi nemesis in the U.S.A. is The Mask, operating from a U-Boat near the coast, attempting to flood the country with forged money, and destroying planes, oil and munitions bound for Britain. I've got one thing to tell you: sea of flaming oil.
"I like kids. They are funny and they eat things and they run around, and then they sleep in very cozy outfits. I am jealous of them."
— Maira Kalman, illustrator, designer, artist, quoted in Metropolis magazine, September 2010

Last month we introduced the new editorial advisory board, this month let's hear a few words.
What do you see as the industry's number one challenge?
The Image of Manufacturing. People need to understand that manufacturing creates wealth. When you create something and sell it, you create wealth.
Overseas Competition. Continuing the fight against offshore tooling by staying ahead of the curve with technology to better leadtimes.
Workforce Staffing and Experience Continuity. We need to motivate and encourage a good representation of ambitious young men and women to join our efforts. The challenge is to transfer the job knowledge of the skilled tradesman into a written process without losing the focus on quality and flexibility.
Changing Business Model. Need to embrace the changing business model of a North American mold builder—change the way we do business form a custom builder to more of a process-driven manufacturer.
Time-to-Market. Speed to market has been a huge driving factor in today's manufacturing process.
What do you see as the industry's number one strength?
Innovation and Ingenuity. Continual process improvement to stay competitive with world markets and overcome adversity. Innovative, resourceful, dynamic leadership coupled with a creative workforce creates process-driven manufacturing needed to survive and thrive.
Quality and Reliability. The quality of the tools manufactured compared to the low-cost tooling that many companies get burned by, and the ability to react to a customer's immediate needs when they have a serious problem.
Advanced Technology. Constantly advancing manufacturing technologies provide the industry with the ability to not only react to customer needs, but to enable and enhance their product features and performance.
Advanced Technology. Constantly advancing manufacturing technologies provide the industry with the ability to not only react to customer needs, but to enable and enhance their product features and performance.
People, People, People. Creative, committed, proud people who respect diversity relative to industry experience and background, and who blend youthful insight with the experience of industry veterans. The toolmaker who provides solutions in steel
Where do you see the most growth potential?
Ourselves. Our largest growth potential is within us; not within markets or money. Today's moldmakers have grown and become successful, as individuals, leaders and companies. Failing companies have been turned into profit centers. Successes have been shared so as to help another, helping our industry.
End Markets. The most growth potential right now is in medical, aerospace, sustainability/renewable energy initiatives, transportation, consumer products and home improvement.
Unique Technologies/Services. Tool shops that are well managed and well staffed and have a strong network of support from suppliers and outsource partners have a distinct advantage. For the tool shop that is deliberately focused on expansion and growth through increased sales, the investment in highly productive machining technologies is a necessity. Special machining via advanced technology in five-axis machining. Performing value-add to your customers, Molding, Automation, Sampling, EOAT. Molding machine manufactures, mold builders, polymer developers, and product designers working in concert for more sustainable solutions.
Global Work. The global playground. More and more companies every day are becoming multi-national—embracing global opportunities, becoming truly best-in-class in your specialized are, and figuring out how to serve the client who used to be next door, but now also manufactures on the other side of world.
Flexibility and Agility. Reacting to the needs of the industry is a great tool for growth. Diversification of product mix will benefit those shops who will invest in themselves and the industry.
Bridging the Gap between Prototyping and Final Steel Production Tooling
SL modeling and rapid tooling methods combine to produce durable epoxy injection molds that generate production-quality parts in record time.
Mold Cooling Options
A look at three options for integrating conformal cooling into a core or cavity with an emphasis on vacuum brazing.
Rapid Tooling - Cast Resin and Sprayed Metal Tooling
Indirect tooling methods use the RP process to generate a pattern from which tooling inserts are made. This article describes two such indirect tooling processes - cast resin and sprayed metal tooling.

The short answer is: most probably. Autism is a highly stereotyped disorder whereby boys are four times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls are. Recent research, however, shows that girls are being overlooked or diagnosed with other disorders since they are better at masking their autistic traits. The lack of diagnosis, intervention and treatment for girls can hinder them in many ways and can even lead the development of other serious disorders, such as anorexia nervosa.
Boys with autism tend to receive clinical attention due to disruptive behaviour and language delay. Girls, however, exhibit other symptoms such as social withdrawal, anxiety and depression. These symptoms tend to present themselves later in life when social interactions become more complex and girls with autism find it difficult to cope. Even then girls with average IQ's can find ways to compensate in social situations and hide their symptoms. When outside the home they give the appearance of simply being shy. Studies have found that girls with autism are able to recognise and interpret facial expressions of emotions but have difficulty in actually feeling the emotions. Therefore, many girls with autism may appear normal when dealing with the outside world but when they are home, they may have tantrums, exhibit aggressive behaviours and be irritable due to their pent up emotions finding release. As a result teachers or even clinicians may believe it is a parenting issue since at school they appear to be model children. The problem behaviours only seem to occur at home which implicate the parents.
Furthermore, many studies have found links between autism spectrum disorder and anorexia nervosa. Professor Gillberg from the National Centre of Autism Studies claimed that both girls with autism and those with anorexia tend to be withdrawn and uncommunicative. Moreover, they both develop fixations and ritualistic behaviour. For instance, calorie counting may be a manifestation of autism since it becomes an obsessive behaviour that girls with anorexia engage in.
According to Professor Simon Baron-Cohen, girls with anorexia have more autistic traits than girls without anorexia. These include the development of obsessions, rigid attitudes, inflexible thinking and behaviour patterns, detail oriented processing, lack of empathy and inward focus. Therefore, the symptom's that are presented to clinicians appear to be that of anorexia. However, it is important to understand the underlying issue to develop effective interventions. If anorexia is a manifestation of autism, it is imperative that clinicians examine how to manage the autism by trying to move the obsession of calorie counting to something else or empathy and social skills training.
It is also necessary to move away from the male bias when dealing with autism and to develop tests that include more feminine aspects. Many tests focus on aspects such as obsessions with numbers or fascination with cars. This generally caters to male interests. According to David Skuse, professor of behavioural and brain sciences at University College London, girls tend to have more socially appropriate obsessions and are generally more interested in people. Therefore, tests need to be developed that take this into account in order to accurately diagnose children with autism and allow for early interventions to be put in place. As with all disorders, early intervention is key for success. Unfortunately with the current tests and diagnosis requirements, girls are being misdiagnosed, delayed and are at risk for developing serious disorders further compounding the problem and making it difficult to lead a normal life.

By National Radio Astronomy Observatory. For GSS A Changing Cosmos chapter 7. Excerpt: Astronomers now know that our galaxy is teeming with planets, from rocky worlds roughly the size of Earth to gas giants bigger than Jupiter. Nearly every one of these exoplanets has been discovered in orbit around a mature star with a fully evolved planetary system. New observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) contain compelling evidence that two newborn planets, each about the size of Saturn, are in orbit around a young star known as HD 163296. These planets, which are not yet fully formed, revealed themselves by the dual imprint they left in both the dust and the gas portions of the star's protoplanetary disk.

It is not length of life, but depth of life. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
While I lived in Japan almost 10 years ago, I was able to experience first-hand the beauty of these Cherry Blossom trees – otherwise known as "Sakura" trees. Each year, every city engages in a hanami – a Sakura Festival to celebrate the blossoming of these trees. The symbolic importance of this celebration is not just to welcome the new Spring season but to celebrate new life with the reminder of how short life is. Sakura trees blossom these amazingly beautiful white and pink flowers prior their leaves growing. They have a very short life span – a few weeks at the most before the flowers start fall and leaves grow.
The life span of the flowers is definitely a reminder that the beauty of life is not forever and that life should not be wasted. How many of us hold grudges over petty arguments, have our pride stand still rather than letting go of what bothers us, or how many of us put off what we have always intended to do? Life can be taken from us – not just by death but by the daily monotonous life itself.
Many people get up in the morning hating life because they hate what they do and make excuses for why their life isn't to their own liking. Many couples stay bitter and cold over petty arguments which only leads to more turmoil and lots of sleepless nights. Negatively-used energy is invested in problems, not solutions. Life is not guaranteed to anyone or anything so what matters the most is what you decide to do with that time.
How deep do you want your life, your relationships, your careers, or your journeys in life to be? Will it be superficial and played safely? Or will you just go rouge and blossom to your full potential?
Take risks. Love wholeheartedly even with a broken heart. Inspire yourself and others to be better people. Acknowledge to yourself you deserve the beauty of life. Be real and push through the hurdles of that come your way. Respect yourself and others. Practice this in your daily life so you won't regret when life is over because you chose live. Let this flower remind you of Life.
See you on Life's Runway,

Much of the existing infrastructure arteries that crisscross the nation is past their intended life spans, typically about 50 years. In the 53 years of its existence the interstate has expanded to the largest highway system in the world at 46,876 miles. Despite the massive amount of infrastructure
repairs and replacements, the socioeconomic condition created by the initial instillation of the system which scared the long standing neighborhoods. Employing the tool of eminent domain, federal and state governments forcibly removed large swaths of homes permanently severing largely minority communities. In every state there are ethnic neighborhoods are economically unhealthy; lacking adequate commercial space and neighborhoods that foster a sense of community.
The goal of this thesis is to develop an adaptive reuse system for urban infrastructure. Through the creation of this catalyst in the neighborhood to enrich environment in the arts and career oriented services, to foster a positive recreational activities that lead to a positive and well rounded community at large.
This new "promise neighborhood" will be centered around an education in the Arts; preforming and visual. Working within the guides of the Harlem Children Zone (HCZ) principle to "reweave the social fabric of Harlem", this new community initiative will be a venue for the creativity of this diverse and talented community. This is the community that birthed both Jazz and the Hip-Hop culture. This center aims to cultivate the creativity and innovation of the youth and the overall neighborhood. In the scheme of the HCZ pipeline the new program will begin at a young age with an education in the Arts both domestic and international, with an end goal of producing highly knowledgeable and talented individuals that will go on to higher education at institutions such as Juilliard School of the Arts, Berkeley College of Music, and Pratt Institute.

Book review
By Anniek
|Amazon USA Amazon UK Goodreads
Carin dies at a car crash, but instead of crossing over she gets a chance to live another life. She returns to earth as Natalie. In her second life Natalie can be whomever she chooses to be. As a therapist she has helped her patients overcome their addictions. Her greatest challenge will be her new assigned patient, pop star Billy Chambers. Natalie knows things she can't share with Billy. Can she still keep her secrets hidden when an evil demon comes for her soul?
Natalie has always been a good person and even though Billy has hurt her in her past life, she still remains positive. I loved her strength and her determination. Natalie and Billy have great Chemistry together. I loved to read about how they both grow through dealing with their issues. Both of them have their own battles to fight and sometimes it's necessary to lean on others to be helped through the bad times, which is a great theme for a book.
Cushion holds a strong message about self esteem. It's okay to be yourself no matter what size you are. Knowing my own struggles with my weight, I believe this is a valuable lesson, which will help others to be confident. I love to read stories about paranormal experiences and wouldn't most people love to get a second chance at life? Cushion made me think about what I would do and who I would be my next time around. I love it when a book makes me feel many different things and really enjoyed Cushion because of this.
If you like to read about overcoming your problems and second chances Cushion would be a great choice. This book is perfect for when you don't have a lot of time and want to read a complete story.

The flickering candles were hypnotic, and Natalie could feel herself drifting off. She struggled to keep her eyes open as her head bowed. She had opened her patio door earlier to let in the warm breeze, and the chimes on the hook outside clinked a little tune. As she moved gradually toward sleep, she heard faint screaming. Her eyelids were so heavy, and she surrendered to the darkness.
Natalie opened her eyes and looked around. She immediately recognized the dark wood table with a multitude of lit candles and realized that she was standing alone in the Hall of Lost Souls. She could hear soft murmurs and hushed whispers in the background, as she called out to anybody. No one answered, and the deafening silence was anything but peaceful. She nervously rubbed her arms. What was she doing back here?
A gust of wind blew flung the doors open and put out all the candles, except one. The murmurs began again as a shadow appeared in the doorway. She shivered in terror as it moved slowly down the aisle toward her. A pale, clawed hand extended from the sleeve of the black robe, tapping each pew. The figure stopped a few feet from her and raised its head, white orbs glowing malevolently in the darkness. Natalie's heart thumped, and she screamed.
One very lucky winner will receive a $10 Amazon or Barnes and Noble gift card.

the hot pools
Convenient & Tranquil Escape
Onsen Hot Pools is located high on a cliffside overlooking the magnificent Shotover River canyon, providing views over breathtaking alpine scenery and the perfect vantage point to watch the Shotover Jet jetboats on the river below.
Onsen Hot Pools are hot and steamy on snowy days, warm and sheltered on rainy days, cool and shady on sunny days, and simply magical in the evenings! Each pool room can accommodate up to four adults and are perfect for individuals, couples, families and friends.
Water temperature is set according to the day – generally between 37.8C on a hot day, to 39.8C during a snow-storm. If you find yourself overheating, add cold water to your pool with the push of a button.
A unique feature of Onsen Hot Pools are the retractable picture windows & roof: Convert your pool room from indoor to outdoor and back again at the touch of a button!
Take the purest water on Earth, and keep it that way!
At Onsen Hot Pools we capture pure water on from the surrounding mountains to fill & continually refresh our pools.
To maintain the pristine state of the water we bombard the passing water flow with high intensity ultraviolet rays eliminating the need for the more traditional chlorine, which is better for both you and the environment. Then if required, we add a touch of Bromine leaving our tubs with a clarity and purity to match our surroundings.
We constantly replace the pool water with fresh water, 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Heat exchangers are used to transfer the heat from outgoing pool water to fresh incoming spring water, so while our pools are continually refreshed we do so in an environmentally friendly manner.

When I first heard Derek's Sivers' 2010 Ted Talk entitled, "Keep Your Goals to Yourself", I felt crushed. It went against everything I had previously learned and put into play about goal setting. But…after much research and deliberation, I started seeing both sides of it.
See, the gist of Derek's talk and the research behind it is that the more we tell others our goals, the less likely we are to achieve them. Why? Because our brain gets tricked into thinking it's already accomplished the goal just by the mere action of verbalizing it to someone.
In turn, we don't work as hard to accomplish it.
Now, to be clear, the goals that Derek and the studies are referring to are "identity goals". Specific goals that tie into the identity of who we are such as a writer, photographer or a designer.
And while there's something to be said about putting it out into the universe and faking it until you make it. I will say, for me, I accomplish certain goals much faster when I'm in stealth mode and others when I feel like the world is backing me because I've asked to be held accountable. Just depends on the goal. Sometimes they are identity goals and sometimes they're not.
There's a ton of research and articles about this theory but I'm bringing this up simply as a an exercise in awareness.
The more aware we are of WHY we do WHAT we do leads to greater success.

Value - Linda Dawson/
What an interesting week. I found the painting to be very meditative. Being somewhat anal-retentive I worked the black and white exercise 3 times before I got something I could live with for now. I did have better luck with the colors although my pictures do not show that. The calibration of my scanner must be horribly off as the scans do not even begin to resemble the actual color wheels. Most of my whites to a color look like they are several whites then vibrant color when they are really very nice tints. My red also appears more orange than blue which is on the color wheel. On my black to yellow I did not get those luscious shades of olive that you got. However orange gave me those wonderful browns you got. I had forgotten red goes to maroon, blue to indigo and purple to aubergine. Green also trends to olive into the olive drab and black olive. I also have better shading than indicated in the scans. Two things I did notice. My paints are thick on the wheels thus showing brush strokes and depth. Second, in the scans this appears as tiny black strokes which alter the appearance of the wheels in the attached scan. All in all I am pleased with what I see before me in the wheels I created this past week and am looking forward to creating the other 12 circles as time progresses. I just did not have time to complete the full set this week.

"Only difference between truth and fiction is that fiction has to make sense."
"Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self."
- Cyril Connolly
Life is such a bitch and such a beauty at the same time. At one moment you feel like the 'keeng' of the world, and the other moment you think you are the biggest loser humanity has ever seen. What's the sense then? of living? Are we adding something to this infinite process of existence. Already we -the earth- are nothing but a tiny speck compared to the vast, vast universe. WE are obviously not alone. We are obviously not the smartest. And not the dumbest too. Then WHY!! WHY WHY WHY?? Why are we here? What matters? What difference does it make? Even, when we say that do good to others. Make a difference is somebody's life and your life is worth.. but that too.. why? People have to die eventually. So how does it matter? Its a vicious cycle of birth and death. Some live happily. Some in misery. But all ends, in the end. Right??
I think sometimes.

Building on the third goal of Education for All, to ensure that all young people have the opportunity to acquire skills, the 10th edition of the Global Monitoring Report examines how the wellbeing and prosperity of young people depend more than ever on the skills that education and training can provide. It reminds us that education is not only about making sure all children can attend school. It is about setting young people up for life, by giving them opportunities to find decent work, earn a living, contribute to their communities and societies, and fulfil their potential. Divided into two parts, Part I provided a snapshot of progress towards the six EFA goals, and towards spending on education to finance the goals, whereas Part II paid particular attention to the skills needs of young people.

Substance Abuse Program
The CCS Substance Abuse Program allows construction owners and contractors to have one database for employee drug test tracking. Our online portal, Construction Safesite, is the go-to tracking system for construction employers. Working with an independent lab and tracking through an easy-to-use website, employers across the construction industry require that all employees obtain their CCS Card before ever showing up on the jobsite. With this card comes the requirement that the employee has submitted to and passed an annual drug test that meets or exceeds DOT requirements.
The Substance Abuse Program takes drug testing and policies to the next level. This program provides model policies to not only deal with employees who are actively using, but to aid them in gaining access to addiction help and reduce the risk for you as the employer. Addictions and recreational drug use cost both the employer and the employee money and endanger the lives of those around them. CCS provides a ready-to-implement program to help ensure that employees on your jobsite are substance free – reducing risks for your company.

Special moments call for an indulgence of sorts. So when a bunch of college friends got together, we decided to savor the exquisite offerings at a celebrated Italian restaurant. But throughout the fabulous evening, I was completely transfixed. And let me set the record straight; the incredulously high prices for the food and wine were certainly not to blame.
I was, and still am, completely in thrall to the sheer magnificence and beauty of the embossed tin ceiling tiles in that eatery. Here's a contender for the top slot in the high-octane list of 'weapons of mass distraction'.
Here's everlasting beauty with roots that can be traced to the 19th century. Antique? Of course, but with a very classy and contemporary tone and tenor. They may seem too generic have any significant impact, but offices, nightclubs and a host of commercial establishments have successfully managed to transform their interiors with the addition of these astounding metallic works of art.
If you're the kind that doesn't question staid conventional wisdom, then chances are that you would consider installing decorative Styrofoam PVC ceiling tiles with very detailed designs or discounted vinyl or wood tiles. Suppliers of cheap polystyrene and USG ceiling tiles don't really disappear off your radar that quickly. Why, even your basement tiles are sure to have trace of invidious asbestos.
But homeowners looking for more bangs for their buck trust nothing but pressed tin ceiling panels and tiles. These true connoisseurs of style and sophistication believe the ceiling is an eternal canvas that transgresses barriers of time and space. Whether the hallway, dining room, bathroom or kitchen ceiling, tin can light up the place with tremendous aura. Painting them creates a one-of-a-kind ambiance that's hard to dismiss.
But it's more than just a pretty face. Apart from the fact that it compliments your aesthetic sensibilities, it's also remarkably lightweight and easy to install. Functional drywall and masonry screws and adhesive make quick work of your DIY project. More brownie points for the fact that it lasts longer than plaster. Incredible acoustic properties give fillip to your booming speakers and Celotex ceiling panels a run for their money.
The staggering advances in the field of technology have ensured that this top-notch product is created with different metals like copper, steel, brass and aluminum and cast in several materials including fiberglass. You're never hamstrung for lack of choices in terms of designs, finishes, patterns and sizes.
With tin tiles, creating a stunning masterpiece of a ceiling is not that preposterous a proposal.
Trace Its Meteoric Rise
The practice of using this remarkable metal to embellish the interiors of homes dates back to the early 1900's. An era where time chugged along at a leisurely pace, and style and elegance reigned supreme in all homes.
It was around this time that tin tiles made stealthy inroads into Victorian homes that so far made a song and dance about plaster ceilings and ornate stucco. This metal packed in quite a wallop, without an astronomical price tag. Large sheets were manufactured and shipped across the country. These sheets were then laid out and a plethora of designs were imprinted on them. They would then be cut into an array of sizes and used to create magical interiors in residential and commercial buildings.
Back With A Bang
Tin ceilings are back, and how? Unlike other relics of the past, they have displayed an amazing alacrity to reinvent themselves, completely in sync with the times. Panels, cornices, moldings and lay in ceiling tiles- this monarch among metals has certainly taken the interior design world by storm with its superior quality, impeccable definition and flawless craftsmanship.
But this is just one side of the story. Don't be aghast; but most manufacturers create tin tiles from pressed aluminum! So the advantages of light weight and resistance to corrosion get added to their striking good looks. Indeed, it is aluminum that has put the tin tile industry back in the saddle, rather firmly.
More Reasons To Cheer
The uninhibited frenzy continues unabated. Another reason for their resounding popularity is the venerable manner in which unique panels and tiles have managed to churn out different designs, patterns and finishes.
The scintillating array of designs like moldings, fillers, noseings, friezes and cornices may differ in terms of their bewitching appearance, but are all linked by advantages like ease of installation, low maintenance costs and a majestic disdain.
Is style your mantra? Watch out, for tin tiles and panels can up the glam quotient with their iconic essence. Classic, custom or contemporary- eye candy addicts have their task cut out.
There are some delightful finishes as well. You can alter the mood of the place with bright tin, copper and chrome finishes. You'll find it hard to resist the sublime quality of antique brass or gold. The animated chatter that copper and pewter can create is legendary.
Your inscrutable affinity gets a wee bit stronger once you feast your eyes on the ethereal beauty and mystique of the multitude of stamped patterns. Traditional, modern, ornate and simple, you're sure to find something that can burnish the aura of not just your home, but also your magnetic persona.
No Fuss Installation
Now that's another feather in its cap. You could use the nail in or screw in method of installation, even though the drop in ceiling method has many takers. The panels are available in two sizes, 2'x2' and 2'x4', the larger one becoming an intrinsic part of the decor of most offices.
For this supernova, even the sky is not the limit. The manner in which these tiles have conquered kitchen islands, walls and counter tops, in addition to the ceiling grid, is a telling tribute to their hypnotic nature.
Unbridled Use Of Color
The vivid, bold use of solid colors enables tin to come into its element. Even though you may apply different hues to different aspects of the pattern on the tiles, your guests will see only green- the color of envy and grudging appreciation.
Don't Let The Costs Dampen Your Spirits
Despite your undisputed fondness for tin tiles, the steep prices at stores may leave you pretty high and dry. Budget-savvy homeowners can rejoice, thanks to the presence of reasonable faux tin tiles. Available in several finishes like matte, gloss and painted, these tiles set the place ablaze with their fiery looks.
Reproductions of authentic antique tin tiles are also available for a pittance in many finishes like copper, silver and gold. They're your best bet when you're trying rather earnestly to create that magic without staggering under the burden of horrendous costs.
Tiling walls, remodeling the kitchen or doing up your dull and dreary ceiling- tin tiles raise the bar and become your knight in shining armor. Ahead of their time, they help you connect with the past without losing touch with the future.
Here's one video you have to watch … it's really nice and I'm sure you will like it as much as I did 🙂

Before I was married and prior to having kids, I was great at doing my devotions. Living in Seattle, I would just grab my Bible and journal and head to one of my little spots in the city.
Typically, I'd walk to my favorite coffee house or the charmingly quaint private garden built for the neighborhood to enjoy. Sometimes I'd even take the ferry across to the San Juan islands just to delight in some time alone with The Lord.
In all, enjoying time with God was pretty easy.
My quiet time and Bible reading fell to the wayside for a long stint, as I could barely cope with life having a six-month old and being pregnant again.
Then suddenly I had a 1 year old and an infant. Shortly after, I had a 3 year old, a 2 year old, and a very malnourished and sick 5 month old. And then we added a 6 year old (who spoke no English) into the mix.
Just when I thought it'd get easier, life instead swelled to where the word "busy" screamed euphemism.
I remember one afternoon, collapsing onto the floor in the kitchen, bursting into tears. As I sat there on the cold tile floor holding baby Imani, Anton and Laith began crawling onto my lap. Their sticky toddler-hands stained my sundress as they snuggled close, trying to comfort their overwhelmed and drowning Mama. Ezekiel, still new to our family and overwhelmed himself, stared with wide eyes in complete bewilderment.
As I sobbed there on the floor, being cared for by my precious preschool-aged children, God gave me a single word: "firstfruits."
I continued to cry out to Him.
I searched, confused. Help me understand what You mean, Lord!
I knew that firstfruits are offerings of the first and best crops to God, which is often spoken about in the Old Testament. An offering given in acknowledgment of God's abundant blessing.
Definitely not giving Him what is left over, but rather giving Him the best of the best...first.
What was I giving Him? The leftovers.
The leftovers of my time, my energy, and my heart.
He was reminding me the need of putting Him first. Above everything. Though I was going to Bible study every week, I wasn't really spending time with Him. My quiet-time, my devotions, my reading of the Bible and prayer time...it was sporadic and hurried.
I was being tossed like a ship in a storm. I felt alone and overwhelmed. I was exhausted by the challenges in our newly adopted six-year-old's behavior, his hurt now clearly at the surface. I knew nothing could separate me from the Lord, that He was stronger and more powerful than this storm, but I was lost in the waves and the wind.
What I realized that day though, is I needed to have right prospective of Him. I needed to lean into Him and live with a Him-first mentality.
I felt an urgency to be bold in prayer, no matter how exhausted I felt.
I needed...No, I had to take the time for Him or there would be nothing of me left, I would indeed sink in this storm I felt I was in.
I was encouraged that joining with Him in giving my firstfruits would not only help me keep my head above water, but also become an unconquerable force for the Lord, as well as for our family.
Well, I didn't have a lamb or crops to give, but I certainly had my firstfruits of time. At that point however, I simply couldn't get up any earlier. I was so sleep-deprived and exhausted from Imani waking multiple times a night, that there was no way. NO WAY. I could get up earlier.
I felt the Lord direct me, urging to give my firstfruits during naptime. Rather than scurrying through the house cleaning up, doing laundry, and that ever constant stream of dishes, I was called to FIRST sit and be with Him. Then do my tasks AFTER.
I don't mean to say that life became sunny all the time, but it was suddenly manageable. My attitude was better, I had a full grasp on things.
Jesus loved me back to life.
My season changed.
Somehow the Lord was multiplying my time, I had more strength, could run further in the day-to-day tasks, my presence and patience with our children was fuller, more attentive, and loving.
And through it all, I confidently leaned on Him, knowing it was in His power, not my own that was getting it done.
Several years later, I felt God's urging once again. Steering me toward waking earlier and spending time with Him then instead (since everyone's sleeping patterns were finally secured), I began setting my alarm for 5am.
People seem rather shocked that I rise several hours before my children. Assuming I'm some sort of crazy Morning Person, they always announce to me, "oh I could neeeever do that. I'm just too tired. I need my sleep."
Oh if you only knew! I want to tell them.
I so struggle getting up in the morning. Ben says I'm just like the kids…exhausted in the evening yet forced to actually crawl into bed. I want to stay up! I don't know why. I'm just a Night Person, and always have been.
So when my alarm chimes, I desire to cozy even deeper into my blankets and enjoy the warmth of my bed.
Get up! Get up, I urge myself!!
Grab your Bible & make a coffee…go!! I tell myself as I convince my sleepy body to push back the covers.
My day is genuinely so much better once I've started my day in The Word & in prayer. My attitude is better, I'm more focused, more joyful, less likely to snap at my kids and husband.
So what do I do?
I've found that if I'm not going through some sort of actual study, and just flip through the Bible, reading…I'm not feeling connected and pressed in tightly with the Father. Almost as if it's a waste of both of our times.
Luckily, there are SO many great daily studies these days.
(Here are some great recommendations. She Reads Truth, is also fantastic.)
My mind often races, full of the things I need to do, groceries I need to buy, and ideas I want to move forward on. So I've learned to have a journal next to me.
Once I quickly scribble down whatever it is that's rattling through my brain, keeping me from truly being able to concentrate, I can move on and move closer in my time with my Lord.
So here I sit, every morning…all wrapped up in my cozy pink blanket, ready to start yet another day with Him as my Firstfruit.
Just remember that it's constant practice.
Figure realistic goals for your quiet time – whether in the morning, or whenever the Lord is leading you to do it.
Just like piano lessons as a child, it takes practice my sweet friend.
Practice will make it easier…not perfect, only He can do that.

Nice selection, although I wouldn't buy any of them. It's either the wrong color or cut for me.
Love the cape, those buckles give it a modern twist.

The cape is lovely but I don't know how good it'll look with hijab. Have you tried one on yet, Jana? If so, what sort of hijab wrap is suitable?

I'm so glad capes are coming back. I have two but sadly they're a bit "girly" ~ meaning the style is rather young for me. I think I'll find my favorite cape style and see if someone can make a similar cape from less expensive materials.

Let's face it, there are no plain women on television.
Anna Ford – [Television]
The world men inhabit is rather bleak. It is a world full of doubt and confusion, where vulnerability must be hidden, not shared; where competition, not co-operation, is the order of the day; where men sacrifice the possibility of knowing their own children and sharing in their upbringing, for the sake of a job they may have chosen by chance, which may not suit them and which in many cases dominates their lives to the exclusion of much else.

Nigerias Intelligence warns of possible Boko Haram attack
(elbcradio.com/Aug. 31, 2015)-Nigeria's Intelligence Agency has warned of a possible attack on the airport in the country's Capital, Abuja, after disrupting a Boko Haram cell.
Authorities said a 14 year-old boy had been arrested for spying on security procedures at the airport. Security forces are working to prevent any possible attack and to ensure adequate security at the airports in response.
The Intelligence Agency gave the warning Friday, August 28, 2015, following the arrest of the teenager. Agents are still searching for militants who were directing the little boy, the authorities also said.
Boko Haram has waged a six-year violent campaign in Nigeria, killing thousands of people and forcing millions to flee their homes.
The bloodshed has been largely confined to the country's northeast, where the group declared an Islamic State.

Make the most of the information in this AccaDoo cricket betting guide with one of our exclusive free bet offers.
Struggling to know your LBW from your wicket maidens? Then our cricket betting guide is here to help your successful cricket betting.
To win the match
A simple bet on which you can back a team to win the match overall which can be tricky especially in shorter format games like t20.
To win the toss
A 50/50 bet on which team will win the coin toss at the beginning of the match. You could always look at previous coin tossing form to see what the trends show!
Man of the match
Placing a bet on which player you believe will be given the man of the match award at the end of the game.
Top team batsman/bowler
Betting on the player you think will score the highest number of runs or take the most wickets for a team. In the event of two or more players ending on an equal number of wickets then the bowler with the least number of runs conceded will be deemed the winner.
Highest opening partnership
You can bet on which team will have the highest number of runs before the first wicket is taken. This is a 3-way market in which you can bet on the home team, away team and a tie).
Next wicket
A fun way to stay on the edge of your seat is to place a bet on how the next wicket will fall. This is usually a six way market: Caught, Bowled, LBW, Run Out, Stumped and Others.
Most match sixes/total match sixes
A fun bet especially in twenty20 matches, you can bet on which team will have the most sixes within the match. Again, this is a 3-way market in which you can bet on the home team, away team and a tie. Or you can bet on total match sixes in an over/under bet.
1st over total
Placing a bet on the number of runs to be scored in the opening over of the match and this normally comes as an over or under bet.
Highest 6 over total
A good bet to keep you interested in the early stages of a game is to bet on which team you expect to have the highest number of runs when they have both played just six overs. This is great when watching it live!
A 50 or 100 to be scored/ runs a batsman will score
Placing a bet on whether you think a player will score 50 runs or above in the match. This is 2-way market where you can bet yes or no. Likewise, you could back a player to score (or not score) 100 runs or above in the match. Or you can bet over/under a specified number of runs for each batsman.
Runs at fall of 1st wicket
This is a 2-way market in which you can bet over or under the amount of runs set by the bookmaker. If no wickets are taken during the match then all bets are void but this is unlikely.
Most run outs (fielding side)
Placing a bet on which team will create the most run outs whilst fielding. This is a 3-way market where you can back on either the home team, away team or a tie.
Match handicap
One for the more advanced gamblers because it involves knowledge of the form and circumstances of the game but it can offer better odds than an outright winner bet. The bookmaker sets a handicap/line for each team.
Placing a bet on the number of runs a particular player will score. This is a 2-way market in which you back over or under the line/number of runs set by the bookmaker.
Race to 10 runs
A easy one for the AccaDoo cricket betting guide. This is just placing a bet on which player you believe will be the first player to make 10 runs or above.
To win outright or win series
Depending on the scenario, you can bet on a team to win the 'Series' in which they are competing in or you can back the team to win the tournament/competition.

Development of corneal structure and function is the result of the integration of multiple regulatory pathways converging to produce and maintain a transparent corneal stroma. The overall goals of this application are to elucidate the mechanisms regulating the sequential steps in corneal stroma-specific matrix assembly. A definition of the regulatory steps essential for normal development, growth and maturation provides a foundation for understanding stromal development as well as stromal repair versus regeneration and the potential modulation of these processes. Finally, these studies will address the molecular basis of corneal pathologies, such as cornea plana, corneal stromal congenital dystrophy, and stromal involvement in connective tissue disorders such as Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Our overall hypothesis is that corneal matrix assembly involves a sequence of events with specific regulatory interactions at each step.
The specific aims of this application are to:
(Aim 1) elucidate the regulatory role(s) of collagen V in fibril assembly, protofibril structure and organization within the developing stroma;
(Aim 2) determine the role(s) of the fibril-associated (FACIT) collagens XII and XIV in mediating protofibril organization and lamellae assembly in the developing stroma;
and (Aim 3) determine the coordinate roles of small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) in regulation of corneal fibril growth and packing and elucidate the dysfunctional regulation of matrix assembly in a mouse model of human corneal stroma congenital dystrophy.
The aims are developed around the following hypotheses:
(Aim 1) Nucleation of corneal fibril assembly is regulated by collagen V and this regulation is dependent on developmental stage-specific collagen V isoforms. In addition, collagen V interactions are linked to the keratocyte surface allowing cellular control of fibril organization.
(Aim 2) Stromal compaction, packing of of protofibrils and assembly into developing lamellae are regulated by collagens XII and XIV through their association with the stromal fibrils. This developmental regulation involves a coordinate interaction between collagens XII and XIV.
(Aim 3) Regulation of fibril growth steps and fibril organization involves synergistic regulation by different classes of SLRPs. In addition, the clinical phenotype in human corneal stromal congenital dystrophy is the result of a gain of function mutation involving the C-terminus of the decorin core protein. Mouse models deficient in specific matrix molecules will be utilized to analyze stromal development using biochemical, immunochemical, molecular, morphological and functional approaches. Definition of the regulatory steps in corneal-specific matrix assembly provides the foundation to further our understanding of corneal repair/regeneration, pathobiologies and the manipulation of these processes.
This application will define the mechanisms regulating collagen fibrillogenesis during corneal development, growth and maturation and addresses the molecular basis of the corneal defects in diseases such as type V collagen in classic Ehlers Danlos Syndrome;keratocan in autosomal recessive cornea plana (CNA2);and decorin in congenital stromal dystrophy. In addition, the definition of the mechanisms responsible for cornea-specific extracellular matrix assembly provide a foundation for understanding of corneal repair versus regeneration after wounding or surgical intervention and the modulation of these processes.

when im driving the steering wheel start shaken when i get up to speeds to 50 or 60 and its the driver side
My car has 265000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
From what you've described, you may just have a wheel balance problem where a weight came off. This could also happen if you used tire stop sealant for a leak in your tire. These will both cause excessive vibration above 50 mph.
You should have the wheel bearing and struts checked to see if they are bad and need replaced. I think it is most likely it is a tire or balance issue. If you'd like to get this fixed, consider YourMechanic, as one of our mobile technicians can diagnose the shake in your steering and help you fix it accordingly.

Police release new photos from Kurt Cobain suicide
Seattle police on Thursday released previously unseen images showing drug paraphernalia from the scene of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's suicide almost 20 years ago.
Police spokeswoman Renee Witt said that a detective who recently reviewed the Cobain case files found several rolls of undeveloped film that were taken at the suicide scene. The images released late Thursday were from that discovery.
One shows a box containing a spoon and what look like needles on the floor next to half a cigarette and sunglasses. The other shows the paraphernalia box closed, next to cash, a cigarette pack and a wallet that appears to show Cobain's identification.
"There was nothing Earth-shattering in any of these images," Witt said.
The photos do not show anything new that might change the ruling of Cobain's death as a suicide, Witt said.
Media reports Thursday initially indicated that police were reopening the case, but the police department has since quashed those rumors.
"Not even close," Witt said.
However, a cold case detective is reviewing the details in order to field renewed media interest as the anniversary approaches.
Cobain was found dead in his Seattle home April 8, 1994, but investigators believe he died days earlier, about April 5.
Conspiracy theories have called Cobain's suicide into question, but investigators have not reopened the case since the time of his death.
In a statement on the Seattle Police Department's online blotter, the detective who re-examined the case dismissed that speculation.
"Sometimes people believe what they read .. some of the disinformation from some of the books, that this was a conspiracy. That's completely inaccurate," said Detective Mike Ciesynski, who found the four rolls of undeveloped crime-scene photos. "It's a suicide. This is a closed case."
Meanwhile, Rolling Stone reported that a Portland Nirvana fan hopes to raise enough money to buy Cobain's childhood home in Aberdeen and turn it into a museum.
Though valued at $67,000, Cobain's mother listed it for sale last fall for $500,000.
As of about midday Thursday, the 18-day-old campaign had raised $250 out of its $700,000 goal.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
