Dental Implant & Teeth in a Day!
Why Choose AXIS Dental Group For Your Implant Needs?
- Implant and teeth in a day: Single tooth: remove tooth, place implant and temp crown same day for single tooth. All the teeth: remove teeth, place implants and fixed teeth same day.
- $1000/implant. Approximately 50% less than what other dental offices charge.
- We do implants from start to finish. Other offices refer out for implant surgery.
- No pain. Most patients go back to work the next day after having implant surgery.
- We have been doing implants for over 20 years & we stand behind our work.
Why Choose A Dental Implant?
BEST OPTION to replace a missing tooth – it is "Permanent" (no need to touch or reduce natural teeth or have ill fitting dentures)
COST: It is less than a 3-unit bridge. Surgical placement of the implant is only $1000 (this does not include the tooth or "crown"). We also have interest – free financing options available.
PRESERVES BONE: Once implants get placed into your bone you will no longer lose bone in that area which is necessary and vital to your teeth around your missing tooth.
JUST LIKE HAVING YOUR OWN NATURAL TOOTH: An implant looks and feels just like your natural tooth with the advantage of a long life span with maintained regular professional cleanings.
AESTHETICALLY PLEASING: You will be able to customize your smile to one you have always dreamed of!
CAVITY FREE: Implants cannot get cavities (compared to getting cavity with a bridge, the bridge must be redone).
Life with Missing Teeth/Dentures
- 20% chewing capacity (false chewing – just move food around)
- Bone Loss – bone shrinks, facial distortion, aged appearance (wrinkles)
- Denture Moves/Ill-fitting – falls out when talking or eating, hesitation to talk in public
- Denture creates noise and/or a speech is altered when talking
- Taste of food is affected as palate of mouth is covered with denture
Life with Implants
- Healthier/Happier with Better Digestion & Quality Of Life
- Look Younger, Feel Confident
- Increase in Confidence
- Self Assured and Happier
- Improved Quality of Life
Denture gives you only 20% chewing capacity compared to natural teeth, Implant supported teeth give you 90% chewing capacity.
Dental Implants can provide support to a full denture, making it secure which enables you to eat and speak more comfortably and with confidence. A Dental Implant can be thought of as an artificial tooth root that is submerged into the jawbone. Our dental implants are fabricated from strong titanium that is compatible with your body and is placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw.
Missing one: A tooth and its roots are missing. A dental implant and ceramic crown becomes the permanent replacement.
Missing several: Three teeth and their roots are missing. A fixed bridge anchored on dental implants gives optimal strength.
Missing all: All teeth and roots in the lower jaw are missing. Dental implants provide enough stability to carry a full fixed denture.
Improve existing: A front tooth has been damaged. A new ceramic crown is used for the best esthetic result.
Better looking teeth or missing teeth, we provide you with beautiful, long-lasting, natural-looking teeth on implants that will make you smile.
Dental implants feel much more natural and secure than traditional removable denture plates, especially if these are loose-fitting because of extensive bone loss. Dental Implants can provide support to a full denture, making it secure which enables you to eat and speak more comfortably and with confidence. If several adjacent teeth are missing, a fixed bridge may be attached to dental implants as an alternative to a removable partial denture plate. Implants allow replacement of missing teeth without having to change or modify adjacent teeth.
Low cost dental implants are appropriate for almost anyone who is missing teeth or at risk of losing teeth. Occasionally, older patients express concerns that their age may prevent them from enjoying the benefits that dental implants offer. However, health is more of a determining factor than age. If you're healthy enough to have a tooth extracted, you're probably healthy enough to receive dental implants. There are very few medical reasons why you may not be a candidate to receive a dental implant. Your dentist will discuss these with you if necessary. The major limiting factor in determining whether you can have an implant to replace a missing tooth is whether there is sufficient bone remaining to accept the implant. This can be determined with an x-ray and a thorough examination of your oral tissues and supporting bone (jaw).
Dental implant surgery is often minor and similar to having a tooth removed. Many people have said they have gone back to work the next day.
Total treatment time will be around six months for the lower jaw and nine months for the upper jaw. If bone addition procedures are required to increase bone volume, additional time may be necessary.
- Dental implants support replacement teeth similarly to the way a tooth root supports natural teeth.
- Dental implants can be used to replace a single lost tooth or many missing teeth.
- They provide an alternative to ill-fitting dentures which wobble, click, slip and slide around the mouth.
- Dental implants can restore your chewing efficiency so you can eat most foods with confidence and without pain.
- Dental Implants can prevent embarrassment about missing teeth, spaces, and ill-fitting dentures.
- You'll be able to speak with confidence and enjoy your favorite foods.
- Implants are not subject to cavities or temperature sensitivity.
- Implants eliminate the need to compromise the adjacent teeth, in comparison to a conventional bridge which requires the slight removal of tooth structure. (The teeth are required to be shaved or ground down slightly).
- The length of time the entire procedure takes, especially if you want immediate results.
- There is a rare chance that an implant can become loose and require replacement. Every person is unique and implant success cannot be guaranteed.
- Insurance companies do not cover most implant procedures, therefore cost may be an issue.
Each patient's treatment needs are different and unique, your treatment coordinator will discuss the cost of your individual dental treatment plan. Generally speaking the cost of treatment with most Implants is comparable to other restorations involving fixed bridgework. Dental insurance does not pay for implant treatment unless an accident is involved, but like other medical expenses your cost of treatment is tax deductible. This deduction may be 25% fo the treatment cost.
Research and documented scientific studies have proven the effectiveness and long lasting results of implants once they have been integrated with bone. However, each patient is different and it is impossible to predict dental implant life with any certainty.
Implants have a success rate of greater than 90% and over 25 years of scientific documentation. Indeed there are implants that have been successful for over 25 years.
Factors thought to affect the longevity of implants are your overall health, nutrition, oral hygiene, commitment to regular dental visits or professional maintenance and whether you use tobacco. Other factors are your anatomy and the design and construction of the restoration placed on the implants to restore the dental function.

We hereby present to you the Wondaland W LIST….a funky gathering of remarkable art i facts and experiences guaranteed to keep you balanced and on the tightrope for at least the next seven days…
(in no particular order, but arrayed in a fashion to make you smile)
1. A lil something for the droids…
By Daniel Stroe – Bucharest
A team of researchers of the Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, a city in NW Romania, has created a recipe for artificial blood whose preliminary tests have proven encouraging.
The team led by professor Radu Silaghi-Dumitrescu, who is only 39 years old, has been doing research to create the artificial blood for six years and their discovery could prove crucial given the lack of blood doctors need in cases of severe accidents and major surgeries. The blood is made of water, salt, albumin and a protein – hemerythrin -extracted from marine worms which makes the artificial blood stress resistant.
The researchers said the results of the first tests performed on mice are encouraging. Professor Silaghi-Dumitrescu said all the previous attempts to create artificial blood have failed because researchers couldn't find the right protein to keep the substance immune to stress factors. So far the tests on animals didn't generate the toxicity other types of protein used so far produced.
The lead researcher pointed out the tests on mice will continue until proven there is not toxicity at all, before any attempt to use it on human beings. Silaghi-Dumitrescu said he expected concluding results in at most two years before any further tests. "Tests on humans are a very delicate topic, we need some very serious licenses and they represent an enormous risk" he underlined.

3. Everybody knows that BLACK GIRLS ROCK! Janelle Monae preaches to the choir with Electric Lady.
4. The architectural genius of ants.
5. In this outlandish emotion picture, Deep Cotton is brought to Camp Mothaland and put on trial for the New Atlantis Exodus by the SCUM Warriors, a radical organization dedicated to the violent principles of Valerie Solanas's SCUM Manifesto. Like the rest of the male captives, Deep Cotton encounters the Objectification Station, a wall where messages from various feminist and progressive political thinkers are placed daily in order to instruct men on their own lustful desires and patriarchal tendencies. Through the power of music, Deep Cotton and the SCUM Warriors discover the next revolutionary and most peaceful step is for men and women to move forward as one to build a collective that JAMS together, and that works together harmoniously to cook, to clean, and to paint the fence….
The Women of Wondaland (WoW) discuss Deep Cotton's emotion picture here, here and here. Wanna get to know the SCUM Warriors better? Follow them on twitter @SCUMwarriors
6. Who's ready to start painting with light? Let the games begin…
7. Cyborg bikes.
8. Vincent Brown, a professor of African and African-American History at Harvard, has made study of the Transatlantic Slave Trade accessible in a new way. Brown has created an interactive map of Jamaican slave uprisings in the 18th century called, "Slave Revolt in Jamaica, 1760-1761, A Cartographic Narrative."
Brown teamed up with Axis Maps to do the project. "An emerging alliance between historians and mapmakers promises to enlighten public perceptions of black insurrection…As with more recent disturbances, people at the time debated whether the slave insurrection in Jamaica in 1760-61 was a spontaneous eruption or a carefully planned affair," Brown said. "Historians still debate the question, their task made more difficult by the lack of written records produced by the insurgents. Cartographic evidence developed in collaboration with Axis Maps shows that the rebellion was in fact a well-planned affair that posed a genuine strategic threat, not an indiscriminate outburst."
David Heyman, managing director of Axis Maps, said that he hopes the maps will offer users a new and compelling way to l learn about slavery. "Interactive cartography provides a completely new method through which to interpret existing demographic and event data into a more rounded historical narrative, revealing surprising and unprecedented patterns that were previously hidden."

Hi! I live in Edmonds, WA, just a few miles N of Seattle. I am a nursing administrator in a skilled nursing center and love it! What do I like to do for fun? Spend time with my family. It doesn't matter what we do. As far as a favorite cookbook, I have many. My husband jokes about all the cookbooks I have. There are 2 that are my mainstays though, Good Housekeeping and The Joys of Cooking. I recieved these 33 years ago for wedding gifts and rely on them a lot. My biggest passion is playing with my 18 month old grandson. What a joy! What would I do if I had a month off? Hmmmm I'll have to think about that one.
Two of my favorite dishes to cook and eat are Cabbage & Meatballs and Borscht. I grew up on them. My family was never much in favor of them so I rarely make it. My son in law loves my meatloaf. My whole family raves about my Chicken Fetuccine! My husband and I have fun making sushi and a lot of Asian dishes. My favorite restaurant is a shushi restaurant! If anyone had told me I would be eating raw fish one day and loving it I would have said they were crazy! I guess as I get older my "purple" is surfacing :')

X-Ray sorter for bulk
Appliance of the sorter Scans products in bulk Detects (residual) pits, hollow hearts, etc. Detects metal, glass, plastic, stones, rubber, etc. Low false reject with high precision air valves Low power X-Ray Available widths : 320 mm (12.6''), 420 mm (16.5''), 570 mm (22.4''), etc. Working principle The product passes on a horizontal conveyor belt between an industrial x-ray source and an x-ray detector. X-rays are absorbed by the product and by the foreign bodies. The absorption rate is higher for denser or thicker objects. The detector measures the X-ray intensity after absorption by the product, generating lines of grey levels between 0 (no X-rays detected) and a maximum value (maximum of x-rays detected). Together, these lines form 2D images of the product, which are then analysed by an image processing system. This system can be adapted to products with specific features. Foreign bodies, such as metals, stones, glass, ceramics, hard plastics, rubber and pits or shape deviations, are detected and removed from the stream of good product by means of a precise, yet powerful burst of air from one of the high speed air valves in the rejection zone. The Rock™ Bulk not only offers the possibilities of a classic metal detector, but goes far beyond these. The Rock™ Bulk uses low power and the imaging system has a very high resolution. X-ray system specifications X-RAY inspection machine Min inspection capability particle diameter smaller than 0.4mm X-RAY generator Japanese è 3 2 3 · ???¤ ???¤ - ¤ generator Converyor width 400/ 500mm Converyor Max height 180mm Convey rate : 0~ 60m /min Operation screen 17`` LCD touching screen Operation system CE Language according to customer`s requirement Model registration material various materials Waterproof grade waterproof and dustproof Power requirement 210W Test piece foodstuff Size : 2m 0.8m 2m (length width height) Weight 0.3ton X-ray leakage: less than 1uSV Image managent: automatic management Tower lamp : eqyipped Data port : USB 2.0 Maintance: 1 year guarantee, erection and provide one free door-to-door service Product managent: Automatic remover to take away reject product

A Celebration of All Things Cultural, Artistic, and Entertaining in Madison
Jun 8, 2011
SpotlightFor Better or Worse
Lately, it seems like not a week goes by without a conversation about how technology is impacting daily life.
Whether it's how social media is affecting personal relationships or workplace productivity, the need to have the latest gadgets, debates over new transportation systems, or when, where and how often it's appropriate to check emails on our smartphones, technology is perpetually changing how we live—and we're constantly trying to figure out how we feel about it.
Such uncertainties and ambivalent feelings are at the core of two new exhibitions at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art. Featuring works from the museum's permanent collection, Picturing Technology: Land and Machine and The Industrial Modern explore the effects of industry and technology.
Picturing Technology focuses on technology in rural environments. Imagery ranges from covered wagons to a John Deere tractor adorned with an American flag, a car cruising down a rolling country road to airplanes in the sky. In one work, a family lights off a rocket in a hayfield; in another, two women bottle-feed calved on their farm.
Some works address technology's impact on the land. In Fred Essler's watercolor Winter, a gray sky hovers above snowy land and blue water. But factory-like buildings can be seen in the distance and heavy, dark boats with machinery sit on top the water. Do these signs of industry mar the scene or is the landscape simply changed?
In two gelatin silver prints by O. Winston Link, trains are shown at night. The sleek forms seem quiet and efficient, one heading from a station labeled "Rural Retreat" (shown above) and the other by a sign marking a place called "Solitude." Perhaps the trains connect city dwellers to more peaceful locales, or maybe they're breaking that solitude.
An intriguing work is Alyson Shotz's Forced Bloom 4 (shown at left). A detailed web of chains, foliage, lily pads, beads and other materials spreads in all directions, tangling along the way. It's a beautiful image, yet there's a sense that the material been modified, enhanced and perhaps is mushrooming beyond human control.
But just when you start to regard advancement as generally dangerous, you have a not-so-fast moment. Patrick Caulfield's Fern Pot screenprint, for instance, reminds how useful a simple object like a clay pot is for holding or storing objects. And then there's Cargador, La Paz by Danny Lyon. In this photograph, a man is bent over carrying a heavy load on his back. Others walk by him with ease, slightly blurred, and you can't help but think that this man would benefit from any technology that could make his commute easier.
In The Industrial Modern exhibition, artists from the mid-nineteenth century to contemporary times respond to industry and labor in urban settings. Several works show men working on skyscrapers. Men, machines and materials were all needed to build such incredible structures, but it's interesting to ponder which the artwork celebrates most. Which is most powerful? Most glorious?
In Fernand Léger's Composition aux deux Personnages (shown below, right), a lithograph from1920, they're nearly one in the same. Human forms with the artist's signature rounded, mechanized body parts appear to become part of a machine-like abstracted pattern.
Several other works depict cities at night. James Swann's Night in Chicago from 1940 features bare trees, buildings, streetlights, slick roads and rain or sleet coming down diagonally. The artist doesn't hide the urban details; the scene is beautiful because of them.
Beauty pervades an unattractive, utilitarian location in Warehouses, Slaithe-Waite, Yorkshire, England, a 1984 photograph by Michael Kenna. Diffused light shines through two silhouetted buildings, offering a quiet, pretty moment in an unlikely place.
In contrast, Harry Sternberg's Blast Furnace at Night, a 1947 lithograph, is explosively full of energy. Men toil away at an industrial site, with machinery looming several stories high, and heat, fire and energy being emitted. It's a powerful display of industry; the viewer might not know whether to be frightened or impressed.
Another interesting piece is Käthe Kollwitz's etching, Weberzug. A master at rendering emotion, the artist shows rebelling weavers. The workers are downtrodden, tired, gaunt and angry, but all march forward.
Presented together, the pair of exhibitions offer an incredible opportunity to examine different takes on—and consider the myriad questions posed by—the topic of technology. You might leave the shows with the conclusion that technology is progress, or perhaps the opposite will ring more true. Or maybe you won't have any answers. But when it comes to technology and its impact, asking the questions seems like a crucial step.
Picturing Technology: Land and Machine runs through August 21 and The Industrial Modern is open through September 4. For more information, visit mmoca.org.

I've been collecting the Blue Bonnet Margarine promotional dolls for a few years now and my collection is almost complete. The had 3 different promotional collections called, Dolls of All Lands, American Heritage Dolls and Storybook Dolls. I've completed the first two mentioned, but I'm lacking a few from the Storybook Dolls collection. I need: Contrary Mary, Scheherazade, Little Nun, Liza and Red Rose. I search Ebay and Etsy almost everyday as well as a general internet search, but if anybody out there wants to sell these or knows of where I can find them, I'd greatly appreciate that. Thank you very much! (PS: The picture is of some of my dolls, I need to take a new pic that shows them all!) |
Follow-Up Postings:
These are great! Beautiful condition for their age. I used to have them when I was a child but haven't seen any in years and never in such great shape! Do you restore them or just find them looking so good? |
- Posted by beckame (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Feb 17, 14 at 14:13
Both, actually. I've had the ARCO collection (see pic), "12 Beautiful Dolls of the World" since I was very young and found a many of my Blue Bonnet dolls at a local thrift store in their original boxes and in great shape. I never knew they had them, my ARCO dolls look virtually identical to Blue Bonnet's only there are 30 in theirs called, "Dolls of All Lands". I've been collecting them for a few years now and sometimes I do bit of restoring on them, but for the most part for as old as they are, they are remarkably durable! Thank you for the comment! |
- Posted by evedamnededen IL (My Page) on Wed, Mar 12, 14 at 13:22
I am so glad I found you. I was about to start listing my mom's dolls for sale on ebay. I have a dozen or so of these dolls. I think you may already have a few of the same ones. When I get home from work today, I will take pictures of the ones that I have so I can show them to you. Then if you like what you see you can let me know which ones you would like and make your offer on them. |
- Posted by beckame 10 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Mar 13, 14 at 12:10
OH YEAH!! Thank you so much for the posting! If you have the ones I'm looking for, you'll make my day! I look forward to seeing the pictures. Thank you again!! :) |
Thank you for posting your pics. I had some of these dolls (the international ones, I remember Dutch, Spain, German, a Scandanavian one, maybe Danish?) Played with them daily when I was about 10 years old. Brought back memories! Were they all female, though? Seems like I remember having at least one fellow. |
- Posted by beckame 10 (email@example.com) on Thu, Mar 13, 14 at 12:37
@raee, yes, they were all female, but in my search to complete my collection, I found VERY similar dolls that are called, "Carlson Dolls". They had both male and female in their collection and from what I can tell, no collection name, just many various dolls like George Washington, Paul Revere and Native American dolls, also male and female. They also had some international type dolls, but those seem a bit more rare. They look like they have the same body as Blue Bonnet and ARCO dolls, but the people that put them together made little leather or faux leather shoes for most of them. The Scandinavian doll you mention could be Holland, or Dutch Amsterdam or Little Goose Girl, or possibly some other name, I'd need to see a pic to be sure. I played with my ARCO girls a little bit too! |
I went on a google/bing search (see what you started!) and found an advertising flier for the promotion which shows that there were Danish, Norwegian and Swedish versions. Maybe they had more than one version of the series? We didn't have ARCO stations, but I came across a reference to Shell dolls of the world -- the pictured Shell Scottish doll was the one that I had! So I must have had a mix of Blue Bonnet and Shell dolls. |
- Posted by beckame 10 (email@example.com) on Thu, Mar 13, 14 at 13:33
LOL!! Do you have the link to that ad flyer? I like keeping up on the various collections and I do recall something vague about Shell also having these kind of dolls. Did you know Kraft Cheese and Redi-Wip also did this? I have those too and I'll post pics of them soon! |
Looking at them again, actually only one of those dolls looks familiar. Wish I could find a pic of the entire Shell collection; now I'd bet most of mine came from there. No, never knew of the cheese or Redi-wip. I vaguely remember my mother sending away for the Blue Bonnet premium, which is why I though all my dolls were from that. |
Here is a link that might be useful: here is the link
- Posted by beckame (email@example.com) on Fri, Mar 14, 14 at 11:57
Now I'm going to be on the look out for the Shell dolls! I agree, you must have a combination of both. Either way, even though it seems they aren't highly desirable, I personally think they are so lovely! And I've seen that flyer before, but thank you for the link. Have a great day! PS: If you ever get a chance, I'd love to see pics of your dolls. |

Still searching for Contrary Mary, Scheherazade and Liza. Please see above email for links to pictures of these dolls. Thank you very much! |
Don't waste your time trying to sell them on Ebay. I collected dolls for over 20 years and those dolls were trashed by 95% of the collectors I know. They have no value except for the pleasure you get out of collecting them. Sorry. |
- Posted by beckame (email@example.com) on Mon, Apr 7, 14 at 1:23
I've actually had pretty good luck selling on Ebay any duplicates I got. I do agree with you about the value as many Ebayer's overprice them; I've seen Scheherazade on Ebay, but I won't ever pay what that Ebayer has her listed for. They usually learn by that and lower the price. The ones I do have, I have no intention at all to sell them. |
I still have some dolls I can't sell. Occasionally I check them out on Ebay to see if they are selling. I check the "completed" sales, that tells you if they sold or not and for how much. The only dolls I see that are valuable are the extremely rare ones that were collectable before everyone and his uncle started collecting years ago. |
- Posted by beckame (email@example.com) on Sat, Apr 12, 14 at 12:05
Same here, it seems the country dolls aren't as popular as the storybook or heritage dolls. But I still think they're so pretty! I did find Mary Contrary and Liza on another site, but again, this person is asking WAY too much for them, so I'm still on the lookout for the 3 above mentioned dolls, thank you for all your input! |
- Posted by beckame (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Jun 22, 14 at 12:35
Just an update, only searching for Scheherazade now. And I thought I'd share of pic of my Kraft Natural Sliced Cheese "Beautiful Dolls of Many Lands". |

In this revealing and intimate video featurette, Edwin Rodriguez, legendary trainer Ronnie Shields, and expert conditioning coach Danny Arnold discuss the Super Middleweight title challenger's preparation for the highly anticipated championship contest.
"The Plex Gym" triumvirate also examines the controversial topic of pre fight drug testing for this crucial bout, and why only one November 16th combatant decided to participate in the VADA "24/7/365" random drug testing program.
"Andre has stated that he's not opposed to VADA pre-fight screening, but still hasn't gone through with the program," claims Edwin Rodriguez. "Why? I could understand if he had to pay for it out of his own pocket, because it is quite expensive. But our sponsor is willing to pay for Andre's testing as well. I'm taking a stand for the good of the sport, and I'm really disappointed that Andre has only taken a verbal stand and hasn't followed through with his actions."
Admittedly, Edwin Rodriguez doesn't believe Andre Ward to be a "dirty" fighter. But the 28 year old title challenger does feel strongly about ensuring a level playing field.
"I'm not saying that he's currently using any kind of performance enhancing drug. I think Andre is a great champion and one of the best representatives of the sport. But I just find it very odd that a fighter like Andre Ward wouldn't want to go through with the VADA administered drug testing before such a big fight. This kind of drug testing ensures absolute fairness in the ring. This isn't baseball or basketball. This is a dangerous sport in which we hit each other repeatedly to the body and head. I just want to make certain that I'm involved in a clean sport, and I'm taking a stand to promote fairness in boxing. I would like to think that Andre feels just as strongly about this issue and is willing to take this stand as well."
"Andre Ward vs. Edwin Rodriguez" Super WBA World Championship contest is slated to take place on Saturday, November 16th, at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California with doors opening at 3:00 PM PT and the first non-televised 3:15 PM PT.
"Ward vs. Rodriguez" will be televised live on HBO® World Championship Boxing at 10:00 ET/PT.
The special event is promoted by Goossen Tutor Promotions in association with SOG Promotions and sponsored by Toyota Vayamos Juntos, Morongo Casino Resort & Spa, and the City of Ontario. The "Ward vs. Rodriguez" Championship fight is presented in association with DiBella Entertainment.
Tickets priced at $200, $125, $75, $50 and $25 are available at Citizens Business Bank Arena Box Office or online at AXS.com or by calling AXS at 888-929-7849.

Edwin Rodriguez: Andre Ward has refused VADA drug testing
12th November 2013

When I was contacted by Action Toys to review their product, I was immediately excited because Action Toys is a local toy company. Their headquarters is based in Orlando while their factory is in Ocala.
From their website: Action Toys Inc. is a global designer, manufacturer and distributor of brand-focused educational toys and activity kits. Our toys can be found at retailers in your neighborhood; attractions, aquariums, craft and hobby stores, gift stores, museums, specialty retail chains, zoos, and online.

I was asked to review one of their Curiosity Kits, the Pottery Wheel. I was more than happy because I have an artist hidden inside of me. The Pottery Wheel is recommended for children eight and older and comes as a complete kit with everything you would need to make your own pottery (clay included!).
We set out on a rainy day to dominate the pottery wheel and it was a super-easy set up with straightforward to read instructions. While a little messy (what pottery wheel isn't?), it was simple to use and a lot of fun. Clean up was uncomplicated and the end result was a beautiful bowl that can hold all the crayons in my life. You cannot eat out of the pottery clay they provide, but you can buy food friendly pottery clay from your local artists shop.

My skin is oily/combination. And as a Licensed Esthetician I need my skin to be in top condition. So, one of my secret weapons is this. I apply in the morning before makeup and I don't get shiny until late in the day. It also helps not to apply moisturizer on my t zone and just apply this. It's pretty expensive so I must wait till I get my paycheck to splurge again. But, I will be repurchasing.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Wow, this mattifying gel actually works! I apply it to my t-zone before my sunscreen and makeup, and my face literally is shine-free for about 5 hours! It is lightweight and doesn't interfere with my makeup, and it smells nice too. I definitely plan on buying this again even though it's a little on the spendy side. A little goes a long way and it performs exactly the way it should. Great for those hot summer days!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Wow. I really can't say enough about what a great product this is. I received a sample from a Lancome counter, and wore it all during my vacation. Even when I wore my glasses, which usually causes my nose to oil up instantly, I had no shininess! It doesn't gunk up or look obvious under makeup, it just seriously prevents shine. At $26 USD it is a little pricey, but it really doesn't take much, I haven't even used up all of my sample size yet. Fabulous product!

Remembering Your Unborn Baby After Miscarriage
Acknowledging a mother's loss after miscarriage is important to her. It helps her cope during the miscarriage process if her grief and mourning is seen just as vital as she feels that it is. After all, a little unborn baby did not make it into this world to call her mommy and she knows and feels that loss that will remain with her throughout her lifetime. Remembering her unborn baby after miscarriage helps during this painful time in her life.
My mom had lost a child during her second trimester, just as I did. During those years, they did not have the technology that they do now such as a standard ultrasound and ultrasound pictures. When her unborn child passed away, she had absolutely nothing to remember him by, except that she believed the baby was a boy. My mom often mentions or feels that my situation is worse because we did see Hope moving about and I have ultrasound pictures from four different occassions I had an ultrasound done during my pregnancy with him. I disagree, those things have not made it harder on me to cope during the miscarriage process, infact, I am so grateful to see him, so perfect and beautiful whenever I need to see his angelic face.
I actually feel so badly for my mom. For she has nothing to remember her unborn baby in Heaven with. No pictures, no small tokens to remember her sweetheart. Just memories of his movements and of her painful discovery of his passing and her D&E procedure with him. At that time, no one really understood pregnancy development or even had compassion for a pregnancy loss and a grieving mother. No one really understood her pain. My dad and her mom were her support system but not even they could relate to her grief during her miscarriage process. She was completely alone. My mom even admitted to me that she did not realize how much her faith could help her then, thus, all she could dwell on was his death instead of his life in Heaven. If only they had support groups back then like they do now, many grieving mothers would not have to suffer in silence.
Now, we have all sorts of support groups and tokens to remember our unborn baby after miscarriage. From Grief and Loss Boards and websites to help parents cope during the miscarriage process. You can share your miscarriage stories and hear comforting words from those who have sadly been there before you. You can remember your unborn baby by getting miscarriage jewelry, miscarriage tattoo, and stepping stones. Personally, I have miscarriage necklace given to me by my cousin and I have just received my unborn baby's stepping stone through the mail today and I also have a beautiful statue from a sweet friend to memoralize both my losses of Sweet Pea and Hope. There are a myriad of ways to remember and acknowledge the life that was lost through miscarriage. Doing anything to remember your unborn will help you cope after a miscarriage.
This is Hope's stepping stone. I had covered the name that we had given him for privacy. He has a full name that we had for him prior to his conception. However, his nickname will always be Hope for the hope we had for him and still have because of him. This is not the same as having him in our arms or having pictures of his beautiful face but because we could have neither, we will be able to smile when we look at his stone in memory of him. When spring arrives this year, usually later then sooner in our area, we have a flower bed box that my husband had built last year. We will put Hope's stone in the center of the flower bed and look at it with love and peace as the flowers graciously sweep over his memory. It will be perfect.
Hope's loss will always be felt in our home, during holidays, and the impending nights of his soon to arrive due date in three months time. I cannot get him back even if wishes came true. The Lord allowed our little unborn boy not to receive a healing in order for him to stay here with us. He was given to us long enough to love, name, and know him and short enough to spare us more despair had he lived longer past a second trimester loss. Though I do not have him, these little things will keep his memory around, the memory that is in my heart to be shared with others. I can look upon this with warmth in my soul because it is in loving memory of my unborn baby.

Digris' DAB 'Island' for Zurich Is Now On-Air
ZURICH—In July of 2013 the Swiss Office of Communications ('BAKOM') licensed a new company known as Digris AG to build local DAB+ networks in Zurich, Geneva and Bern. Because their coverage areas are purposefully small, and the three cities' networks are not connected, these low power multiplexes have become known as 'DAB islands.'
The islands were created with the help of the Swiss Government, and now the cost to each 'station' on the mux is about 800 Euros (about $1050) per month.
Last week, test broadcasts started on the local Zurich 'island' and soon power is expected to be increased. There are now 48 Swiss radio stations available via DAB+ in Zurich, according to Radio.nl. Those stations include Planet 105, Tropic Radio, Radio Industry, Lora, Kanal K, Backstage Radio, Spoon Radio, Radio 74, Stadt Filter, Rundfunk.fm, Toxic FM, Radio X, and Traxx FM.

text: New-Skin® Liquid Bandage was invented around 1900, and first trademarked in January 1901. Believe it or not, New-Skin® products have been protecting cuts and scrapes for over 100 years! We'd love to hear your story on how you use New-Skin® or how it's been a part of your first aid regimen. I ran the NYC Marathon yesterday, and before I ran I used New Skin on my right foot where I've had blisters before. Luckily, I had no blisters on my right foot, but all over my left where I hadn't put the New Skin! Now I know for next time! This product definitely works though! Katherine AlvarezWestport, CT I "HAVE TO" use liquid bandage because I am allergic to the adhesive in regular bandages and in my trade I get a LOT of cuts, scrapes and burns. This allows me to make the first aid treatment quickly and then return to work without the hindrance of a bandage that would get wet, torn or dirty. This stuff is great. Richard DrennanStockton, CA About 6 years ago, I was cutting cheese with a knife when I was about 12 and it went bad quickly. My mom had just bought a bottle of New Skin brush on, so I gave it a try, didn't hurt at all and it healed in about 4 days. Deepest cut and the fastest heal ever. I would gladly use it again. Dominic IachiniVero Beach, FL I am a salon stylist and I am constantly cutting my thumb with my scissors when cutting hair and I use new skin on a daily basis on my thumb and it keeps it clean and germ free and keeps it from getting infected.

I found this hiding in my attic.... No idea how old or who made it. It has no marks. It does have 3 holes for hanging. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I wonder if it's part of an elaborate old light fixture? Photo of the inside might be useful. Is it wood, plaster, or what? Karin L |
Sorry, you said pottery... Karin L |
The inside is plain smooth. I am pretty sure it's a pot for hanging flowers. I've seen similar by weller pottery but not this pattern. |
Is it Weller Wild Rose pattern that's had a rough life? I've seen that style of glaze? before, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is. GG |
the finish looks similar to redwing brushware. I don't know if it was made this way? I do know that it's been in my attic for years. I found it along with a parasol, and tailors French curve and square that had been tucked beneath a board .... The tailor implements probably lost usefulness before 1940 ? and the parasol fabric had rotted away almost completely. These were all put away together. I'm just guessing but maybe made sometime before 1940?. |
I seem to see three little feet-like projections on the top piece. Could these possibly be feet and the item is shown upside-down? |
lol Justlinda.... you are right, that is the bottom. I guess i should have said that :/ I turned it bottom up so you could see the the design as the inside of the pot is just smooth. I suppose the feet are there if you choose to set it on a table instead of hang it! |
If it is a hanging pot, the feet are nice for when you are potting - round bottoms are hard to work with! But if it's meant to stand, or, the other way, support something, then it would have been meant to be glass so you could see the pattern. No point in making the bottom of something that beautiful otherwise. Karin L |
It hasn't had a rough life. It's meant to look that way and actually seems to be in pretty good shape. Our community manufactured these for eons and I have several similar pieces now. It's meant to be an outside piece and is indeed a jardiniere. Hard to tell on the age, they've been popular in this style for decades and decades. I am not familiar with this particular pattern, so won't say who made it but that's the clue to aging it. If you know the pattern, you'll know the manufacturer and most stoneware producers have a history and you can see the dates they were producing that pattern. I have some Weller reference books and I'll see if it isn't listed. |
I just haven't seen that really matte style glaze on Weller pieces, that's why I was asking if it maybe had a rough life. It will be interesting to find out exactly what it is. |
I have no clue at this point who made it. It was a common finish for garden pieces and could have been any one of a number of producers. |
- Posted by javaandjazz (My Page) on Wed, Jan 30, 13 at 17:48
I have a piece with the same finish and a pink flower. I believe it's redwing. Look on ebay and search for brushware and then click on completed items and there is a hanging basket there. Here is a link below to red wing collectors where you can ask the experts. |
Here is a link that might be useful: red wing
Thanks for all the info.... I'm still searching for the pattern, so far the weller rose is the closest match. I guess I have more research to do! |

Large mass of material, such as snow or rock debris, that moves rapidly down a mountain slope, sweeping everything in its path. Avalanches begin when a mass of material overcomes the frictional resistance of the sloping surface, often after the material's foundation has been weakened by rains or the snow has been partially melted by a warm, dry wind. Other weather conditions that can lead to avalanches are heavy snowfall and high winds. A common method of avalanche control consists of detonating explosives in the upper reaches of avalanche zones, which intentionally causes the snow to slide before accumulations have become very great.
