Simple Jam, Not So Simple Thoughts
Several people have asked me about the breakfast dish I prepared during my tv interview on Us Girls (yes, not-so-little old me on tv!). I realize now, in retrospect, that I didn't really go into full gory detail about the interview, just to say when it was coming out and where. I didn't think much of that then, but looking back, I suspect I must have been a little shy. It's one thing to share your photos and thoughts to the whole world on a blog, or even have a photo of your face in a magazine, it's quite another to have yourself moving and speaking in full Technicolor-vision on a tv screen!
When I got the email requesting for the interview I almost said no – tv? Me? Not likely. But I had been thinking about the premise behind this book lately. Do I say no too often? I don't think so. In fact, I'd like to think I'm up for anything, and I usually am! But what if that anything just happens to be a something way outside my comfort zone? Will I still grab it with two hands and fly by the seat of my pants as I claim I like to do?
Deep thoughts.
So I found myself with those deep thoughts, looking at an email a lot of people would not have even blinked twice at (whether to say yes or no). And I decided to stop thinking and start doing.
And then I got really nervous and went out and bought a new dress.
See how good stuff happened almost immediately?
Then the shoot came and I had a ball! The staff of Us Girls were professional and thoughtful. The host was just this side of enchanting, and immediately put me at ease. We were shooting for an episode of the show called virtual life which featured people who, in one way or the other, were connected to the tech/cyber world. I also got to touch base with another blogger friend who I hadn't seen in a long while (who was interviewed before me). During the segment, we talked about my blog, what it's all about, how I started blogging and what I like about it (a lot!), and I prepared one breakfast dish. They asked for something easy to put together so I chose this yogurt parfait. It makes for a delicious, healthy breakfast that lends itself to many variations (you can use the fruits and preserves you have on hand) and a cinch to whip up...plus it looks nice.
So to those of you who were asking, you can find the method for the yogurt parfait here. Some were also asking what brand granola I use – although I don't always have time to make my own, I urge you to try making homemade granola. It's easy and leagues more delicious than anything you can buy in a store (plus you know for sure what goes in it). The recipe I use is here. You can make it ahead of time, store in an airtight container, and use whenever the mood strikes...which will be often, believe you me.
For the original parfait I used this blueberry syrup. For the show, however, I made some quick strawberry jam. Simple, quick jams are something I love to throw together. Let me just say here, before you think I am up to my elbows in fruits and jars and sterilization implements, I usually make small batches of jam...enough for roughly one bottle. I don't go through the whole boiling of the bottles and sealing and what not either. I'm not storing up for the winter. I make the jam, pour it into a clean jar, and store in the fridge. It's usually all gone after a week or so. It requires very little time and supervision, and will have you feeling like a proper domestic goddess without breaking a sweat, I promise you. Also, it goes without saying, homemade jam is a whole different world from store-bought in taste, and you have total control of what goes in and how sweet (or not) you want it.
No recipe for this, just a sort of loose method: I clean and weigh my fruits (peel, de-seed, and chop them too if needed depending on the fruit -- before weighing). I then toss the fruit in a non-reactive pot with sugar that weighs a little less. For example, for the Nectarine Plum Jam pictured here I had about 250 grams fruit (chopped and de-seeded weight) and I used about 170-180 grams sugar. Add a squeeze of lemon. Place on the hob and let cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and setting point is reached. For this amount it will not take too long. When done, pour into a clean jar and cool. Store in the refrigerator.
I test the setting point with the old saucer-in-freezer method: Place a saucer in the freezer while you are making you jam. When your jam looks like it's thickened, take the saucer out and put a drop of jam on its surface. Now tilt the saucer...if the jam runs down the plate it's not ready. It should catch and droop slowly...then push the jam lightly with your finger, it should wrinkle a bit.
It's lovely travelling out of your comfort zone to enjoy the new things that await you there :) Even if you already grab every opportunity by the horns, try something that you typically wouldn't do. You may be happily surprised! :)

Some typo errors that I've published and deleted so here it is again. Ever since they moved Us Girls to a new time slot, I don't watch it anymore. So, I hope they will have a reply. I admire your courage to say yes for that TV interview. Besides, you're known by a lot of people for this blog site. And it is indeed a great blog site. The jam looks scrumptious too. :)
- Anh said...
I wish I could see you on TV. That would be great :).
I make jam quite often but never bother to photograph them. Home-made jam is the best, isn't it? - 5:48 PM
- Helen said...
Well done! I wish I could have seen it too. I know what you mean about Yes Man, I felt that way after reading it too.
- Stepford Mum said...
Yum! I am going to make jam next time I have enough fruit. Have wanted to for a long time, but always thought you needed the sterile jars etc. Good to know a jar's worth will do, as I'm the only one who'll eat it at our house anyway!
- Irene said...
You know what I think the moral of the story is? You need more new dresses. ;) Seriously, though, it takes a lot of bravery to put fears and inhibitions aside. I think it's wonderful that you did this and of course, you are very deserving of the opportunity!
- Ruy said...
Wow, that jam looks so rich and chunky I wish I could have that with hot pandesal and butter right now.
I wonder how I could catch a replay of that show. I want to see it! - 2:20 PM
- Pianybackpacker said...
I'm glad I found your blog (came from Ramblings of a Gypsy Soul).
I'll be adding you to my blogroll. And I'd be sure to try some of your recipes at home, too. :D - 3:47 AM
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Anne! I wish you could too but they haven't given me a video :( Aw, thanks!
Hi Divina! I hope so too! Thanks so much for your nice comment :)
Hi Anh! I was a bit jittery but I think I did not too bad! :) Homemade jam is really the best...I make this often too...it's always so jewel-like that I wanted to photograph it this time – and encourage other people to start making some because it is so easy!
Hi Helen! It's inspiring :)
Hi Iyor! You will need the sterile jars and all that when you are a making a bunch for longer term storage. I make a jar and store in the fridge – and it doesn't last long as I love having it for breakfast with toast and butter! This is an easy and quick way to start making jam at home I think :)
Hi Irene! Thank you! :) New dresses are a moral in and of themselves! Heehee :) I've already used said dress more than once and I love it!
Hi Ruy! Oooh my! Hot pan de sal slathered with butter and jam is the best! I don't think they will be replaying the show but will let you know if they do!
Hi Pinaybackpacker! Glad you found me (and I found you! Will be checking out your blog too!)! Hope you enjoyed your visit :) - 12:59 PM
- Midge said...
We have a lot of guavas at home right now; it'd be interesting to turn them into jam.
I saw the Us Girls episode; you're quite telegenic! ^_____^
(Oh, and I recently tried my hand at making chocolate truffles. So nice; I suggest you try them. The recipe's on my blog. ^_____-) - 2:01 PM
- Zoe said...
Thats so exciting! The jam looks so rich and beautiful
- Andy said...
I'm yet to find a 'simple' recipe for jam!!! Still, looks fantastic!
- Living and Loving In L.A. said...
I'm making a simple freezer jam right now myself! It's lovely to store it for the winter! (Not that it really matters here in L.A. I suppose!) Love your photographs, too!
- Bordeaux said...
I think it's great that you went on to do that interview. Besides it having been a fun experience I'm sure it gave you some more exposure. And I think the fact that you were offered this interview in the first place is a huge compliment to your cooking, style and blog. A very well-deserved comment too!
- veron said...
I wish, they'd give you the video to post on your blog. This Jam looks scrumptious!
- the twins said...
congrats on being on tv. your jam looks really good, thanks for the recipe!
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Midge! Marketman has some good posts on making guava jam and jelly at home :) And thanks for the compliment!!! (Will check out the chocolate truffle post!)
Hi Zoe! Thank you :) I love how the color turned out too!
Hi Andy! This one's pretty simple :)
Hello Living and Loving in LA! Freezer jam...that's interesting! Since I usually don't store for the winter (no winter here!) I just make the odd bottle :) Thank you!
Hi Bordeaux! Thank you so much for your sweet comment! :) I'm glad I did it :)
Hi Veron! I hope so too!
Hi Twins! Thank you...hope you give it a try! - 8:57 PM
- KAHUNA said...
I think I want to make this for my pancakes- would probably leave it a little loose so that I could almost make a syrup of it- Lucky to have a family member that makes jams and jellys as I love pairing them with cheese and wine
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Kahuna! I'm sure this will be great as a syrup too...especially with pancakes! MMM!

I received my first pair of these socks when I bought of pair of MBT shoes. I was afraid they wouldn't fit as I have fairly large feet, but they ended up fitting perfectly. They are soft, smooth, and cushy, and I have never have to adjust them to keep them from bothering my toes. That is a huge plus for me as I can't stand the irritation of even the tiniest little toe seam. They wash and dry beautifully, too! I'm 100% satisfied with these socks and have purchased a number of pairs.
Really like these socks. I have a terrible time finding socks whose toe seams don't eat my little toes (even the ones that claim to be seamless). These are the best I've found so far.

Norwegian Cruise Lineâ??s Breakaway-class of ships, which includes the Norwegian Getaway, have excitedly introduced two new water slides that let guests race to the bottom through tubes set up right next to each other. / Norwegian Cruise Line
Norwegian Cruise Line fans: Get ready to sail on the Norwegian Escape and the Norwegian Bliss.
The Miami-based company today announced that those would be the names of the two 4,200-passenger "Breakaway Plus" vessels it has ordered over the past year.
Under construction at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany, the 163,000-ton ships will be about 10% larger than Norwegian's just-unveiled Norwegian Breakaway and soon-to-debut sister ship Norwegian Getaway.
The Norwegian Escape and Norwegian Bliss will debut in the fall of 2015 and spring of 2017, respectively, and incorporate many of the features that have been developed for Norwegian Breakaway and Norwegian Getaway.
Named by a USA TODAY reader in a contest held here at usatoday.com, the 4,028-passenger Norwegian Breakaway made its debut in late April. Sister ship Norwegian Getaway, also named by a USA TODAY reader, is scheduled to arrive in mid-January 2014. The two Breakaway Plus vessels were named in a contest held at facebook.com.
Norwegian Cruise Line currently has 12 ships in its fleet.

My interpretation of the numbers is different:
The speedup by a factor of two or three is only valid for a synthetic test case (ping-pong).
The benchmarks for real-world-cases show a speedup of 25 percent or less.
KDBus still needs a DBus daemon which handles a lot of stuff, the kernel-code is insecure and the speedup not that big. I would like to see how much can be improved by tuning the daemon alone before anybody starts putting user-space code into the kernel.
Kernel code complicates development a lot - it takes lots of time until changes are accepted and distributed to all users. One has to reboot. A daemon can be replaced anytime. I am not even sure Linus and his friends will accept these patches.
Finally, to say it in the words of another user: "d-bus is a horrible monster and cramming it into the kernel to save one second of jabber connectivity is one of the most brain-dead efforts Ive seen in years."

He is board-certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology. In this ArticleWhat is a hemoglobin A1c?To explain what an A1c is, think in simple terms. Sugar sticks, and when it's around for a long time, it's harder to get it off. In the body, sugar sticks too, particularly to proteins. The red blood cells that circulate in the body live for about three months before they die. When sugar sticks to these cells, it gives us an idea of how much sugar has been around for the preceding three months. In most labs, the normal range is 4-5.9 %. In poorly controlled diabetes, its 8.0% or above, and in well controlled patients it's less than 7.0%. The benefits of measuring A1c is that is gives a more reasonable view of what's happening over the course of time (3 months), and the value does not bounce as much as finger stick blood sugar measurements. There is a correlation between A1c levels and average blood sugar levels as follows: While there are no guidelines to use A1c as a screening tool, it gives a physician a good idea that someone is diabetic if the value is elevated. Right now, it is used as a standard tool to determine blood sugar control in patients known to have diabetes.
The American Diabetes Association currently recommends an A1c goal of less than 7.0%, while other groups such as the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists recommend a goal of less than 6.5%. Of interest, studies have shown that there is a 10% decrease in relative riskfor every 1% eduction in A1c. So, if a patients starts off with an A1c of 10.7and drops to 8.2, though there are not yet at goal, they have managed todecrease their risk of microvascular complications by about 20%. The closer to normal the A1c, the lower the absolute risk for microvascular complications. Medically reviewed by Rambod Rouhbakhsh, MD, MBA, FAAFP; American Board of Family Medicine

Okay, a bit more information to throw out there today... Most of the information in this article is based solely on NVIDIA's past history, so accept these thoughts as you wish.
If you measure the time from NVIDIA's first public Linux display driver release (May 17, 2001; 1.0-1251) to their most recent non-legacy driver (May 22, 2006; 1.0-8762), and graph it, you will get something like:
Pardon the version numbers on the bottom getting cut off. This visual pretty much reiterates the long/short release cycle of a few months and then a matter of weeks for a follow-up release. If you base their release cycle on all of the drivers in the past, the average number of days between releases is 70. Coincidently, today is 70 days since the 1.0-8762 driver release. However, if you simply count the time between the major driver releases in the 1.0-7XXX and 1.0-8XXX, there is on average 92 days for the major/longer driver release. With that said, the resulting date based upon NVIDIA's past would push this next driver release to August 22, 2006.
Based upon this NVIDIA release history, as well as a few other tid-bits of information learned from various people in the industry, NVIDIA's inaugural 1.0-9XXX driver release will likely occur within a week of August 23, 2006. This estimated date hasn't been officially confirmed by NVIDIA, so accept this information at your discretion.

"I love the versatility of my Keurig 2.0 - it's so easy to make a single cup of coffee when I wake up, or multiple cups in a pitcher when I have company over. It functions beautifully, and definitely makes my mornings better!"
Jenny Blake, Author of Life After College*
"We're loving the Keurig 2.0. We've never had a Keurig machine before but have lusted after the ones that our friends have. We use it a lot when someone pops over and we want to make a quick cup of coffee for them. So far everyone has loved the coffee! And it's great to be able to offer them a choice of a few different blends and just whip up a single cup. We've also used the carafe after dinner parties and when a few people pop by. Again, the convenience is terrific and the coffee is great!"
Dan Lyons, Freelance Journalist*
"My Keurig 2.0 is how I start my day every single morning. I previously had the older version that only brewed one cup and the new carafe brewing feature makes the entire showroom happy, too! Also, I save time and money every morning by skipping the coffee shop! Everyone wins!"
Roxy Te Owens, Founder of Shop Society Social*
"Whether I need a couple of ounces of strong coffee for a recipe or I need a whole carafe of coffee for all those holiday get-togethers, the Keurig 2.0 has been a life saver! It sits proudly in a corner of my kitchen and is always there when I need it - morning, day, and night! Personally, I adore the Keurig 2.0 for baking. Normally I need a couple of ounces of note coffee and the Keurig makes just what I need, every time. It also is perfect for brewing a carafe, for when I'm craving iced coffee. I'll brew an entire carafe and chill it overnight for delicious cold brew."
Marnely Rodriguez-Murray, Food & Travel Writer for SheKnows.com*
"The Keurig 2.0 has become an absolute staple in our morning routine. Not only do we appreciate the automatic timer, but we love that the machine is now able to tell which type of pod we select to brew. A perfect cup of coffee or tea every single time. What more can you ask for?"
Vera Sweeney, Founder of I'm Not Obsessed, Lady and the Blog*
"I admit I'm a coffee snob. I love a hand pour any day. I was surprised that once we had a Keurig in the house, the quality and convenience didn't leave me wanting for something different. I use the Keurig every day!"

Art of Islamic Cultures
The Museum of Islamic Art is situated in the south wing of the Pergamonmuseum. Its permanent exhibition is dedicated to the art of Islamic peoples from the eighth to the nineteenth century. The works of art originate from the vast area stretching from Spain to India. The collection's main focus is on the Middle East including Egypt and Iran.
The broad spectrum of the collection includes architectural decorations, applied arts and crafts, jewelry, and rare illuminated and calligraphed manuscripts. The architectural decorations represent one of the major attractions, conveying also typical concepts of space and environments in various media: stone (the façade from Mshatta), stuccoes (archaeological finds from Samarra), painted wooden panelling (Aleppo Room) and wall ceramics in various techniques (prayer niches from Kashan and Konya).
The applied arts include works in all possible materials: ceramic vessels, metalwork, carvings in wood and bone, glasses, textiles, carpets. Within the area of books and ancient writings, the calligraphic works and miniatures from albums of Mogul times are of particular significance.

For help in drafting or revising contracts, see the A&M-System Contract Help page.
Clear and understandable description of the subject of the contract. Limit use of highly technical terms when possible.
Verify current information.
Verify current information, especially if anything differs from (2).
This may or may not be the date the contract is signed.
This refers to date the contract would normally end unless terminated earlier for any reason.
Dates should be clearly identified. Use full dates (ex: "June 3, 2004") whenever possible. NOTE: in many foreign countries dates expressed in numerals use the Day/Month/Year format (e.g., June 3, 2004 would be written as 3/6/04 rather than 6/3/04).
Termination for cause and termination at will should be identified.

Richardson School of Law Jennifer MnookinUniversity of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) - School of Law March 20, 2012 UCLA Law Review, Vol. 59, No. 5, 2012 UCLA School of Law Research Paper Abstract: Given the substantial and growing scientific literature on implicit bias, the time has now come to confront a critical question: What, if anything, should we do about implicit bias in the courtroom? The author team comprises legal academics, scientists, researchers, and even a sitting federal judge who seek to answer this question in accordance with "behavioral realism." The Article first provides a succinct scientific introduction to implicit bias, with some important theoretical clarifications that distinguish between explicit, implicit, and structural forms of bias. Next, the article applies the science to two trajectories of bias relevant to the courtroom. One story follows a criminal defendant path; the other story follows a civil employment discrimination path. This application involves not only a focused scientific review but also a step-by-step examination of how criminal and civil trials proceed. Finally, the Article examines various concrete intervention strategies to counter implicit biases for key players in the justice system, such as the judge and jury.

Two questions come to my mind:
- if it's patented, how did it become part of the OpenGL standard?
(How is it possible that the whole industry uses those things without thinking and getting themselves in problems?)
- when will the patents expire?
I'm not going to google because I want this kind of information added in future articles. That's why I read news sites: to find information well presented with good information in one place.

Donor Resurrects Endangered Bookmobile
By editor
May 20, 2012
When a bookmobile broke down last winter in rural Vermont, patrons, especially preschoolers, really missed it. Then a donor, who heard an NPR story about the rolling library's demise, came up with over $100,000 for a replacement. The town can't believe its good fortune. Vermont Public Radio's Charlotte Albright reports.

No, I advise you stop feeling put-out because you thought GLSL work was moving much faster on 6xx than it was on 3xx-5xx
GLSL is not ready for general use on either of the open drivers yet, but it is making progress on both.
Are you sure about this?
It's been a few weeks since I tried r300g but iirc it didn't have GLSL/GL2.1 yet. Afaik it's supposedly being implemented by nhaehnle in his r300g-glsl branch, but that has not seen any commits since more than two months so I didn't even bother giving it a try.
But I'll give r300g a try again tomorrow.

I haven't had a chance to try any of the new code myself, but someone asked about the status on #radeon a week or so ago and eosie replied that GLSL and GL 2.1 were already enabled :
Note that "enabled" is a bit arbitrary, in the sense that you can report lots of functionality without implementing it, you're just "raising the bug count". Michael's article said that Richard had enabled the reporting of GLSL and GL 2.0 in the 6xx-7xx driver; it's important to understand that the 300g driver has *already* reached that point.
I believe the r600 shader compiler is further ahead than the r300g compiler with respect to the instructions required for "full" GLSL, but it appears that a lot of apps require GLSL but then use essentially the same functions supported by arb_vp and arb_fp. Mesa compiles GLSL and ARB_*P down to the same IL and only passes IL to the driver, so having GLSL enabled and starting to test apps is useful without waiting for all of the new IL functions to be implemented.
The following snippet is a pretty good summary of r300g status :
With respect to GLSL and GL2.x, that's pretty much the same as 6xx-7xx. Neither is ready for general use but both have progressed to the point where it's worth enabling these features so that app testing can begin. Most of the testing so far has been on unit tests rather than full-blown applications.02:33 #radeon: < EruditeHermit> eosie, does it report GL2.0 yet?
02:33 #radeon: < eosie> EruditeHermit: yes, except NPOTs
02:34 #radeon: < EruditeHermit> so glxinfo reports 2.0?
02:34 #radeon: < eosie> 2.1 actually
02:34 #radeon: < EruditeHermit> nice
02:34 #radeon: < EruditeHermit> so what doesn't work then?
02:34 #radeon: < eosie> lots of things
My understanding was that Nicolai was adding the missing Mesa IL instructions which would be required to *fully* implement GLSL on 3xx-5xx, which is (slightly) orthogonal to enabling GLSL itself for all of the IL functions which are already implemented.
Anyways, the key point here is that r300g and r600 are following different paths to the same goal, so they are not going to pass milestones in exactly the same order.
Last edited by bridgman; 12-19-2009 at 05:47 PM.
thanks for the info bridgman. I just updated to r300g, so I can have GLSL, which I need as a programmer.
My experience so far: compiz works, World Of Goo works, Qt GLSL demo works. Openarena 15fps, chromium-bsu crashes, insane CPU usage. But it fits my needs
Will maybe buy an Evergreen GPU, once I figured out what I can use it for
Wine claims that it needs GLSL to implement some of DirectX shaders opcodes. I don't know exactly which ones though, but I think they are already implemented. But yet Half-Life 2 -> ARB vp/fp sort of works in DirectX 8 mode, but Half-Life 2 -> GLSL doesn't.

It is fun to think a year back, when all the talk was about getting the infrastructure right (staging and such) and get the specs out.
Now we see a new feature every month.
I hope that the work done with r600 GLSL will be used in future r600g Gallium driver. As far as I know current Gallium drivers use a lot of features (files) from classic mesa drivers. Am I right? If so, does it mean that with correct r300g and r600 drivers it will be far simplier to create r600g driver?
I hope it's true I've been a programmer for several years, but I've never worked on such a large code-base. If I knew what to do I would help with this probably
And most important: Good Work!
Recently i installed ubuntu on an old amilo laptop with an r300 chip. I was impressed. Everything looked much more "integrated", from the initial modesetting, to compiz, even some small things like window resizing which was pretty smooth (unlike nvidia). So i would really like to move my hardware to ATI as soon as possible (from nvidia), possibly with an r700-r800 chipset, but before i do that i would really like someone to explain when we can expect to have most of the missing pieces completed. From what i read it is not only a driver issue but a lot of other things that need work on the rest of the stack.
Maybe someone to clarify what these things are (and with a timeframe please ?)

Learn to Sing Schubert Magnificat
ChoraLine voice part rehearsal CDs and MP3 files are learning tools, specifically created to help choral singers memorise their vocal line and practice between choir rehearsals.
You can use the MP3 file straight from your computer and also put onto your ipod/MP3 player if you wish. If you are new to downloading an MP3 file please click here for tips and a step-by-step guide.
Whichever is most convenient for you, there is ChoraLine rehearsal CD or MP3 file.
It is the attention to detail and the quality of the ChoraLine recordings (produced by Lloyd Silverthorne, a top BBC sound engineer) which makes ChoraLine such a pleasure to use:
- A narrator guides you with verbal signposts (using bar numbers and rehearsal letters) to ensure you don't get lost and to 'cue' your entry
- There is also a track listing (on the back of the CD cover or within the MP3 zip file) which lists the bar numbers and rehearsal letters, you can follow exactly where you are on the ChoraLine recording and in the vocal score
- Hear and assimilate the music so it becomes second nature to sing
- The vocal score becomes so much easier to follow for those of us who are not so proficient at sight reading
- Rehearse in time with the music and learn at your own pace
- Use the balance control on your stereo (or the graphic equaliser on your computer) to enhance or diminish your voice part. Have your vocal line quite loud to start with and when you feel you know your part, test yourself by turning it right down
- Focus on challenging sections by going over and over specific parts of a movement
- Use as a 'pitch cue' for vocal entry
- Practice hitting the notes until you are perfect
- Far more enjoyable than unaccompanied note-bashing
- Be prepared, having learnt your part in advance of rehearsal
- Sing with more confidence and experience a higher level of achievement
We are always delighted to receive letters and emails from singers saying how useful they have found ChoraLine and also suggestions for new pieces to produce:
"After having tried ChoraLine to learn the Messiah I have used it ever since for every piece we sing - it is brilliant!"
"I would just like to let you know how useful I found your wonderful learning CDs. Our choir is working on 'Israel in Egypt' at the moment and I am using your CD for this as I have done for our previous six concerts"
"Many thanks for the excellent service for my Brahms Requiem CD which is a great help with such a difficult piece of music. Superbly done!"
"My download worked like a dream"

The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are usually given to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions.
Screening Tests
- Dental exam—Your dentist will perform a careful survey of the appearance of your gums. Each tooth will be checked for looseness, and your dentist will use a probe to identify and measure any spaces, known as pockets, between your gums and teeth. If you have periodontal disease, these pockets will measure more than 3 mm (millimeters) in depth.
- Dental x-ray —This type of x-ray may reveal whether or not the bones that support your teeth show signs of deterioration. Evidence of bone loss around teeth is one of the signs of more advanced periodontal disease.
Screening Guidelines
According to the American Dental Association, you should have a regular dental checkup every six months. Screening for periodontal disease should be part of every regular dental examination.

For every end, there is a new beginning. This is what Spirit Wolf felt like to me. With everything that happens throughout the plot, and with everything that changes, it seems as though Kathryn Lasky has concluded the first leg of Faolan & company's journey, while at the same time, clearing the slate, so to speak, for the upcoming installments of the series. A lot of loose ends get tied up in this story, as do a lot of questions get answered, but at the same time, like any good story series, new questions arise and plot twists thicken.
The pacing of the story was one of the best in the series thus far, in my opinion, yet for how much occured within the pages of the story, it felt like the story arc didn't progress quite as much as I would have expected. Still, the experience was most enjoyable, the writing very well done as usual, and as always, I can't wait to read what happens next. Definitely worth a read, especially if you enjoyed the previous four installments of this series.
Erik Davies does his usual narrative, which is great most of the time, yet still could be a little better. No major complaints from me though.
*gives two paws up*
Please excuse the play on words, as this story isn't scary, although for younger readers, it could be I suppose. This was a very enjoyable read and a nice sequel to "Watch Wolf". Without giving too much away, let me just say that everything that made the first three books in this series what they were, still remain prevalent within this installment, so if you liked the first three books, you're more than likely bound to find "Frost Wolf" to be satisfactory. Some interesting revelations are revealed in this one, as well as slighty darker themes that are explored but never posed too unreasonably. While some points in the storyline were rather predictable, there were still enough twists and turns to keep things intriguing and enthralling throughout the entire span of the book. It will be interesting to see where Lasky takes this storyline in "Ice Wolf" though but we'll just have to wait and see for that. As always, Erik Davies does a nice job as narrator on this one.
*gives two paws up*
I had extremely high hopes when it came to this sequel, as "The Sight" was, and still is, my favorite wolf related novel, as well as being one of my favorite novels in general, and for the most part, my expectations were met. Character development was strong throughout the book, the storyline progressed nicely, and the plot moved along at a decent pace. Everything that made "The Sight" as great as it was, in my opinion, remains true in "Fell" however, I was a little disappointed in the fact that the storyline focuses quite heavily upon the human side of things, but this still doesn't take away anything from the overall majesty of this incredible work of writing. If you enjoyed "The Sight", you'll most definitely be pleased with "Fell". I wouldn't really recommend going into this one if you haven't already read "The Sight", although some aspects of the first novel are touched upon briefly, but in order to extract all that "Fell" has to offer, I would highly encourage that "The Sight" be read first. Steven Crossley does a wonderful job as narrator, just as he did for "The Sight".
*howls and gives the Paws Up approval*
Staying true to the original formula that worked so well in "Promise Of The Wolves", Dorothy Hearst's second installment in this planned trilogy of books follows very closely in the proverbial paw prings of its predecessor. If you enjoyed the first novel in this series, you'll love this one as well. The storyline is progressed, character development is deepened, and the plot thickens throughout the entirety of this enthralling tale. Even with the major cliffhanger of an ending that leaves you wanting oh so much more, "Secrets Of The Wolves" does a marvelous job when it comes to addressing some of the unanswered questions that the first novel left behind, but perhaps does an even better job when it comes to raising new ones at the end of this epic work. Guess we'll all have to wait until the third installment of this series comes out, whenever that might be, to have all the remaining loose ends of this fascinating story arc tied up completely. Until then, don't miss this worthy sequel! Justine Eyre does a nice job, once again, as narrator, aside from a few falters with character names, but nothing major.
*gives the Paws Up approval*
If you enjoyed Lasky's "Guardians Of Ga'Hoole" series, you will thoroughly enjoy this new endeavor by the same author. Lasky applies her tried and tested formula that worked so well with owls, but this time around, focuses it upon wolves. The end result is a very intriguing story that stays true to the author's unique writing style, while still feeling new and fresh at the same time. Although there is a surprising lack of character dialog within the entire length of the story, the narrative keeps the pace of the plot going nicely. While it's not necessary to have read any, if not all, of the "Guardians Of Ga'Hoole" series of books before starting this series, it might make the overall story and experience a bit more enjoyable if this unspoken prerequisite is met beforehand. Either way however, it is a marvelous read, one that shouldn't be passed up by any fans of wolves, or any fans of animal fantasy stories in general. Erik Davies does a magnificent job as narrator, as he has a very pleasant voice to listen to in my opinion.
*howls and applauds his approval*
