The Ultimate Toothpaste Guide
May 8th, 2014
Toothpaste; separating the wheat from the chaff.
Toothpaste. We all use it, most of us typically don't mind the overpowering yet refreshing feel of having a nice set of just polished teeth. However one thing we all do mind is when our teeth either turn yellow, become cavity-ridden, or ultimately need to be replaced. What most people don't know is what brands or formulations of toothpaste work for their specific teeth. Let's explore the ridiculously exciting world of Toothpaste Selection!
Jumping right in; Toothpaste is anywhere from 20-42% water according to Wikipedia. In addition to that percentage, toothpastes are typically made up of three more components roughly.
These are just as they sound, abrasive. Not like your uncle Larry though. Abrasives are said to comprise at least for 50% of any given toothpaste, and for a good reason! Abrasives in the paste are non water soluble and are typically made of aluminum hydroxide, various calcium phosphates, silica and other hematite-like materials. Essentially very hard small particulates that work to remove plaque and other calcium-like substances from your teeth via the action of brushing. Imagine rubbing steel wool against your teeth, but obviously not as intense. Another function of abrasives in toothpaste is to polish. Mica is added for this effect and will yield a "glittery" effect when applied on your pearly whites. Sometimes, as a cost-saving/sales feature, toothpaste manufacturers will put on the box "Extra Whitening" and instead of adding ingredients that will actually whiten your teeth, said manufacturers will just include more abrasives which penetrate the enamel layer of the teeth and began to erode the yellower layer that is built up over time from improper tooth-care. This is NOT good thing because it saws right through your precious enamel.
Fluoride is a very common word and is thrown around quite a bit in the dental industry. Yet, fluoride will either make or break a solid toothpaste recipe. Fluoride will prevent cavities & promote enamel growth as well as bone growth. Generally, if your dentist suggests it, a prescription can be written for behind-the-counter toothpaste that contains more than the average 1000 parts-per-million of fluoride. Fluoride is also in water supplies supplied by city municipalities as well as some chewing gums. Fluoride is our friend!
The surfactants in a toothpaste recipe often account for the smallest part of the mixture, if any. Surfactants essentially create that foaming action that is consistent with most toothpaste brands. Some shampoos also contain these types of detergents. By adding foaming-action it ensures proper distribution of the toothpaste by the user and can significantly improve teeth health.
What you should be looking for in Toothpaste.
Now that you're the expert on toothpaste ingredients, what makes bad toothpaste or what makes a great tube? Well, to answer your question with a very vague answer: It depends on your teeth. Some individuals need specific "Tobacco-Toothpaste" or "Coffee Stain Removal Toothpastes", while others can get away with virtually any bottle because they treat their teeth well. A good sign of a great bottle of toothpaste is if it bears the ADA (American Dental Association) logo certifying it as a dentist recommended formulation. Ultimately, you're going to be visiting a dentist sometime (hopefully more than not) in your life, ask us! Contact us today to setup an appointment about your dental care and we'll be happy to consult you on whatever questions you should have!
Gum Disease Linked to Rheumatoid Arthritis? Yep!
October 1st 2013
Research has shown a link between gum disease and a number of health problems, including diabetes and heart disease. Researchers have also long known about a link between gum disease and rheumatoid arthritis, but they haven't known why the two were linked. New research is showing why these two inflammatory problems might be connected.
The research, carried out by University of Louisville School of Dentistry Oral Health and Systemic Diseases researcher Jan Potempa, PhD, DSc, shows that the bacteria that causes gum disease can worsen rheumatoid arthritis, leading to early onset and speeding up progression. This means increased damage to bone and cartilage. Gum disease can lead to chronic inflammation and destruction of the cartilage in the joints.
Studies have also shown that people with gum disease experience higher rates of rheumatoid arthritis.
This is just one more reason that you need to take extra care to prevent and fight against gum disease. The best way to protect yourself from the ill effects of gum disease is through a combination of regular visits twice a year to the dentist and daily brushing and flossing. Many people neglect to floss regularly. It is recommended that you floss once a day, which allows you to sweep away the bacteria that causes gum disease from below the gum line. Brushing alone cannot adequately protect you from gum disease. And gum disease isn't just linked to rheumatoid arthritis. It's the leading cause of tooth loss as well, and contributes to a variety of other systemic diseases.
So if it's been a while since your last visit to the dentist, make sure to make an appointment soon to find out about your gum disease status and any other oral health problems that might be threatening your overall health and wellbeing!
Eight Tips for Keeping Plaque in Check
September 19th 2013
Have you ever noticed that your teeth feel a little... well, fuzzy at the end of the day? What you're feeling isn't fuzz, of course, but plaque. You may have heard your dentist talk about plaque before, but do you know what it is?
Plaque is a sticky biofilm made up of hundreds and hundreds of naturally-occurring bacteria. These bacteria feed on the food we put in our mouths, and they especially love foods high in sugar or other carbohydrates. As these bacteria feed on these particles, they create an acidic byproduct that damages tooth enamel, resulting in cavities.
So, given how destructive plaque, bacteria, and this acidic byproduct can be, you may be wondering what you can do to keep it in check. Below are eight tips for managing and getting rid of plaque.
Tip #1
Brush at least twice a day, but if possible, after every meal.
Tip #2
Floss at least once a day. Flossing will help you remove pieces of food or particle of plaque from beyond teeth, where they can contribute to decay.
Tip #3
Consider adding an antibacterial mouthwash to your at-home oral health regimen. Reducing the amount of bacteria from your mouth will reduce your vulnerability to decay. A fluoride mouthwash can also help you strength your tooth enamel.
Tip #4
Chew sugarless gum after and in between meals. Gum helps remove particles of food from between teeth and stimulates the production of saliva, which neutralizes acid.
Tip #5
Reduce the amount of sweet or starchy foods you consume. Even a natural snack like raisins can be problematic.
Tip #6
Avoid smoking or any kind of tobacco use. Besides being bad for your health, smokers routinely have higher amounts of hardened plaque.
Tip #7
Make regular checkups and cleanings with your local dentist a priority. A cleaning by a professional hygienist will help you get rid of plaque in places that are hard to reach with normal brushing and flossing.
Tip #8
Dental sealants protect the chewing surfaces of teeth from bacteria and plaque with a thin layer of plastic. This effective option works especially well for back teeth and may help children who are more vulnerable to decay.
Do you have questions about plaque or how to prevent it? Has it been more than six months since your last checkup or cleaning? Call your local dentist today for an appointment.
Five Myths about Porcelain Veneers and the Real Truth Behind Them
August 30th 2013
Ever since Hollywood celebrities started relying on them for transforming their smiles into stunners, porcelain veneers have picked up steam as a truly transformative cosmetic dentistry method that can cover up stains, chips, cracks, and even gaps. These beautiful restorations are handcrafted in dental labs and customized for each unique tooth, ensuring a completely seamless, natural appearance. However, there are also several rumors that dentists have encountered concerning this procedure that may be scaring off potential patients who're striving for the smile of their dreams. Today, we'd like to clear up five of these misconceptions!
People Will Easily Be Able to Tell That It's Not Your Real Smile
While this may have once been true concerning older versions of veneers, which were very thick and opaque, the right clinician can truly make all the difference. Porcelain veneers are so beautiful and natural looking that they blend in seamlessly with the rest of your smile!
You Have to Cut Down Your Whole Tooth/Teeth to Have It Placed
This is an exaggeration. It is necessary for your teeth to undergo some reshaping; after all, you don't want your new porcelain veneers to look too bulky simply for the sake of preserving tooth structure. But the amount often mentioned is excessive. If you still feel uncomfortable with the process, "prep-less" veneers are often available as an alternative, which are only 2mm, or the width of a single contact lens.
They Are Painful and Cause Sensitivity
The only instance in which you may experience some pain or sensitivity is when you're wearing your temporary veneers in the interim before your permanent ones are finished. Once your new porcelain veneers have been placed, this sensation will be completely eliminated.
Their Bright White Color Looks Unnatural
While some patients may prefer a blazing white shade, your dentist will be happy to ensure that your porcelain veneers are whatever color you want them to be! It's always up to the patient.
They're Too Expensive
While this may sadly be true for some patients, many dental practices can offer payment plans or alternative financial options that may reduce your monetary obligations down to a couple hundred dollars a month!
Be sure to talk to your local dentist about porcelain veneers! Who knows - your dream smile may not be as far out of your reach as you think.
Before-school Children's Dentistry Visits!
August 15th 2013
You may be ready to send your kids back to school, but don't forget to schedule their dental appointments! It's easier to bring your children to the dentist when they don't have to miss class, and it will be less of a hassle for you. Although kids undoubtedly would like to get out of school for their dental visit, protect their wellbeing and education with an earlier trip to the dentist!
Regular children's dentistry appointments are a vital part of their dental health. It's recommended by the American Dental Association that kids should see a dentist at least twice a year for routine checkups. If your child has never seen the dentist, then don't wait! Examinations are an opportunity for your dentist to check for any decay or growth problems, and to stop them before complications arise.
A children's dentistry exam is also great for reminding your child of the importance of proper dental hygiene. The gentle team at your dental office will explain different, easy-to-remember techniques for daily care. They can also offer handy tips about flossing, a practice that most children won't perfect until well into adulthood. It's never too late early to begin instructing excellent dental care! Dentists want to help your child improve their oral health any way that they can.
Remember, the more regularly your child sees the dentist, the less likely they will be to develop serious dental problems later in life. Great dental hygiene will save your child time in the dental chair receiving restorative treatment, which they will be happy about. Just give your dentist a call today to schedule a children's dentistry appointment.
Bad Breath? It Could be a Sign of a Serious Problem
August 1st 2013
No one wants to have bad breath. If you suffer with bad breath, you might try brushing your teeth more often, mouthwash, and mints to get rid of it. But there may be deeper issues causing your bad breath, which is why you should visit your dentist if you're experiencing chronic halitosis (the technical name for bad breath).
What can cause bad breath? The list includes:
- Foods with strong odors, like onions or garlic.
- Excessive dieting.
- Poor oral hygiene.
- Gum disease.
- Dry mouth.
- Smoking or chewing tobacco.
- Various health conditions.
The first thing you can do to try to get rid of your bad breath is to make sure you're brushing at least twice a day and flossing once a day. Brushing and flossing removes food particles that may have been left in the nooks and crannies of your teeth and gums. These food particles, if not cleaned away, will actually begin to deteriorate in the mouth, giving off a bad odor — not to mention contributing to decay and gum disease. Make sure you're thorough about your oral hygiene.
If you have a lack of saliva because of a medical condition or some other cause, make sure to regularly swish with some water. Saliva helps clean the mouth, and this will help clean away odor-causing debris. Also, make sure you're not eating any especially stinky foods!
If you're experiencing bad breath and have tried using better oral hygiene habits and avoiding smelly foods but haven't found relief, it could be a symptom of a serious problem. Health conditions related to bad breath include liver or kidney problems, lung infections, diabetes, and bronchitis. It is also a common sign of gum disease, which can break down the supporting structures in your mouth and eventually cause tooth loss or other problems if left untreated. Bad breath may seem like a superficial concern, but it can be much more than that. That's why we recommend you visit the dentist if you've been noticing a chronic bad taste in your mouth or bad breath.

As a Latinist, Neo-Latinist and historian I have always been captivated by unpublished scientific manuscripts or collections of personal correspondence. Once I find a manuscript that seems interesting I research the historical background of the author and the contents. If the text has never been published, I transcribe it and systematically represent all of the physical changes in the text (corrections, deletions, additions, etc.). The edition then provides a foundation for a deeper exploration of the text and its author. My dissertation was published as Hermannus Samsonius to Axel Oxenstierna: Latin Correspondence from 1621 to 1630 with Linguistic and Historical Commentaries (Lund 2006). This historical critical edition provides a unique window into the personal, political and often polemical world of one of northern Europe's leading theologians and his relationship with the famous statesman Axel Oxenstierna. As the Swedish chancellor of state Oxenstierna was the organizational genius behind the Swedish victory in the Thirty Years' War and is considered the intellectual founder of the modern Swedish state. My second volume is underway. Perhaps the most widely appealing product of my research has been the resurrection of the once obscure eighteenth-century naturalist Daniel Rolander (1723-1793). This son of a poor Swedish country farmer studied with the famous naturalist Carl Linnaeus at Uppsala University before departing for the Dutch plantation colony of Suriname in South America. The entire journey and expedition lasted two years. Rolander described everything of interest from those years in a 700-page manuscript. I organized the English translation of the manuscript, translating over half of the pages and proofing and editing the translations of three other translators who worked with me. IK Foundation published our translation in a beautifully bound volume as Daniel Rolander, The Suriname Journal: composed during an exotic journey (London 2009) in The Linnaeus Apostles - Global Science & Adventure. Europe, North- & South America. Volume 3, Book 3. Pehr Löfling and Daniel Rolander. A large portion of my research over the last five years has focused on composing and researching a historical critical edition of Rolander's unpublished original manuscript Diarium Surinamicum, quod sub itinere exotico conscripsit, Daniel Rolander. The edition now awaits its publication at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (The Catholic University of Leuven) in Belgium. My research into Rolander has sparked a wide-ranging reassessment of this previously neglected and maligned author. The rare-books library James Ford Bell Library honored my work by selecting me to deliver the 49th annual James Ford Bell Lecture at the University of Minnesota (delivered 6 Oct. 2011). As a guest lecturer I have spoken at the Royal Geographical Society of London, the University of Amsterdam, the Botanical Gardens in Paris, the Botanical Gardens in Naples (Italy), the National Herbarium of the Netherlands (Leiden), the University of Manitoba, Lund University (Sweden), Uppsala University (Sweden) and four times at Hagströmer Library at Carolinska Institute (Sweden).

In 1776, Rottbøll published 12 species from Rolander's collection of plants of Suriname. Here, we...

The cold weather is hitting everyone hard. People are turning up the heat in their homes and layering up before they step outside,but what are people doing to their cars?
Just like we all winterize our wardrobe to stay warm during these cold months, we need to do the same thing for our vehicles. Officials say most people don't usually worry about getting their cars checked and ready until something happens to them, so here are a few tips for everyone to consider this season.
Traveling can be dangerous during winter weather, especially if you and your car are not prepared for possible emergencies.
"They're not thinking about what happens if it breaks down and they have to walk or wait for somebody to come, you know, how cold is it going to be in the vehicle with it not running?" said Tony Eversole, the Chief Deputy at the Perry County Sheriff's Office.
Owner of Convenient Lube, Brian Blair, recommends getting a few things checked out.
"Check the air pressure in their tires. Make sure they have good tires on their vehicles. Make sure the anti-freeze is good in your vehicle and freeze protection is good there," blair explained.
He says windshield wipers are also key.
"People don't normally think about them until they have to have them. They recommend changing them about every 6 months so you want to make sure those are in good condition."
A good charging system is also important
"Cold weather definitely makes the battery go down and drain quicker. You need to make sure you do have a good battery," Eversole said.
It also doesn't hurt to keep your car stocked with things like an emergency kit with a blanket and jumper cables along with a scrapper to take off any snow or ice before you head out.
"Whenever you go out in the morning and it's cold, you want to make sure you start you car up and let it run and warm up before you take off in it," said Blair.
Officials also recommend always having at least a 2/3 tank of gas so your fuel lines don't freeze. Blair says you don't have to go to an auto shop to get your car checked, you can do it yourself but if you don't know the proper way to check your tires or make sure you have enough anti freeze in your car you might want to leave it to the professionals to make sure everything is really good to go.

Discrimination rife in India's classroomsComment on this story
New Delhi -
Some Indian teachers force children from lower castes and minority religions to clean toilets and sit separately from their classmates as part of "persistent" discrimination in classrooms, a rights group said on Tuesday.
Human Rights Watch said pupils from marginalised communities often dropped out of school and started working as labourers rather than face continued humiliation at the hands of teachers and principals.
The 77-page study on schools was compiled through interviews with more than 160 teachers, principals, parents and students in four states which have large populations of low-caste poor, indigenous tribes and Muslims.
"India's immense project to educate all its children risks falling victim to deeply rooted discrimination by teachers and other school staff against the poor and marginalised," said the report's author Jayshree Bajoria.
"Instead of encouraging children from at-risk communities who are often the first in their families to ever step inside a classroom, teachers often neglect or even mistreat them," she said.
Children from Muslim communities were among those often made to sit at the back of classrooms or in separate rooms. They were called derogatory names, were denied leadership roles and were served food last, the report said.
The report comes as a mammoth general election is under way which is likely to vault Hindu nationalist hardliner Narendra Modi and his party to power after a decade of centre-left Congress party rule.
Some children said they were segregated and neglected because they were considered dirty, while Muslim students said they were called "mullahs", a term for an Islamic cleric, instead of by their names.
India's parliament passed landmark legislation in 2009 that guarantees state schooling for children aged six to 14 and enrolments have reached more than 90 percent nationally.
But HRW said the law does not contain punishments for those who discriminate in the classroom.
Most education authorities have failed to establish proper mechanisms to monitor and track children, who were at risk of dropping out, and acting to ensure they were able to remain in school, the report said. - Sapa-AFP

This is one of probably two fragrances I can actually wear without my allergies acting up. Everyone notices it very positively from fellow teachers to my students AND comment on it ("Gee Miss, you smell good!"). Alien is the best---so very glad I found it!

One of the GoboLinux papers I submitted has been accepted to linux.conf.au 2010, so I will be presenting on "An updated directory structure for Unix" at some point between 20 and 22 on the 22nd of January next year. I haven't heard anything about the Aliens paper yet, so I guess that's a provisional "no" for it (edit: but it will be in the Distro Summit miniconf on the Monday).
linux.conf.au is about free and open source software, especially Linux. It is a community-run technical conference which attracts some of the brightest minds in the world. Next year it is in New Zealand's beautiful capital city of Wellington from January 18 to 23, and will be based at the Wellington Town Hall and Michael Fowler Centre in the central city.
Registration is $399 for hobbyists, $249 for students, or $799 for professionals and opens in a couple of weeks (all prices in NZD and for earlybird registration). Come along and watch me!

I'm gonna give him birthday punches. On the dick. With my mouth.
Ladies, if you have recieved this text then you are one of the lucky few friends I have decided to make this proposal to. As you all know, my boyfriend's birthday is in two weeks and I have finally decided on the perfect present. Surprise threesome. Now, there can only be one, this isn't an orgy you know, so I will be rating the ideal candidates on bra size and sluttyness. Experiance will count, references if available. Inbox me your credentials so we can come to a...Satisfying agreement.
Lock the bathroom door next time you are going to masterbate with the shower head, okay?
I just wanna get hammered somewhere crazy. Meet some chicks. Bang them and then go scuba diving.
God I miss you. I want to fuck your face... Then do all the girly cuddly shit too.
She dressed up in a sexy maid outfit for me, but she got mad when I asked her to actually do some cleaning.
I think it was clear she was setting us up when she brought me over to you and said "Present!"
female sloths literally scream when they want sex and can be heard up to 700 meters away
Dude, for twins they have shockingly different blowjob styles.
Bro, she said my penis was the best thing to happen to her mouth since teeth.
Get your clothes on you are our DD for the night. The usual three way payment
I guess she fell asleep at the strip club and the other one was crying because she had a vagina in her face. Happy 21st!
Drinking Patron always ends with me puking or receiving anal. So make your move when I start ordering it.
There is a special place in Hell for whichever one of you put Ben Gay on my dildo. It was a very uncomfortable April 1.
i went to the 24h massage place last night and brought down the price for a hand job from $50 to $12.75 and half the big mac left in my bag.
Man, I want to make his penis a sandwich.
I want you to get your positive energy all over me. I want to to look like something from Ghostbusters.
I'm petty sure you said "hold on let me make my nipples hard, they look better"
I am the prescription. I can be taken orally or vaginally and in any dosage. This is why I went to med school.
After the 3rd shot, she was running around singing, "Twinkle Twinkle Big Ol' Dick, on your happy place I'll sit" to your brother.
She cracked her neck before the blowjob and I knew shit just got real.
So not only just find my adoption papers that I didnt know about in my parents house, but they say "child shows some signs of mental retardation".
I told him he wasn't aloud to one word text me. Unless that one word was threesome
Worst luck of my entire life. Came in my own mouth
Alls I remember is making out with that chick.
I realized I was totally the dude in that hook up. I came first and didn't wanna help him finish. And he had paisley sheets.
my friend thinks you're hot & wants to fuck you ps i'm my friend
Definitely worth waiting her kid to got to sleep when the first thing you hear once she's back is "I want you in my ass right now"
He's in the hospital yelling at his brother to at least have stuck something "normal" up his ass.
When people ask about my bruises, I'm just going to say it was a doorknob. Or possibly a group of doorknobs. Angry doorknobs.
she puked as i came inside her. that has to mean something.
Febreezed myself at a stop light on the way to the IRS office. Judgmental glare from some old lady in the car next to me, thumbs up from her husband.
No. I just want to cuddle and talk about our feeling. Of course this a booty call.
I still have a scar from the last time she gave me a handjob. There is NO WAY i'll stick my dick anywhere near her again
Apparently I made a stripper cry last night when I paid her $10 to go away
Is it true if I say your name three times, you'll appear and whore everything up?
I can already see the regret in her eyes. Amazing night. This city rules.
Dude, she got on top of me, grumbled in a low voice "I'm going to make you remember me", and then farted.
Stop giving guys blow jobs because you're no good and it's messing up my sex life. Word gets around & then they think it's me and don't believe me when I say I have a twin. Learn to stuck dick right.
i feel as uncomfortable as your camel toe looks.
I just drank til 6am then boned a 32 yr old that looks exactly like ET. Oh god.
They're here. One showed up as a slutty Crayola, and I think the other came as The Fat Friend.
Now go wash the fat girl off your hands.
Birthday Coupon: This text is good for alteast 3 hours of Birthday Sex. Redeamable any time, anywhere, and any style.
It didn't get weird until she took off her underwear, looked down, and said "fill her up!"
Ran into my prostitute at Costco yesterday. She was with her boyfriend, I was with my kids. Awwwwkward.
look, i dont wanna be "that girl" but if someone offers me coke in exchange for sex, i cant say no.
His facebook status was woke up with a whale ..... Captain AHAB IS BACK !!!!!
I'm so proud of your ability to turn my Charlie horse last night into anal sex.
Yeah it was hard to find an opportunity while fucking him to say "oh the reason my lips taste so salty is because i blew your roomate 15 minutes ago"
Just learned the hard way that dicks can bruise the back of your throat to the extent that you cant eat. You're dead to me.
I am getting my wife a tattoo just above her butthole that says, "For entry just add tequila."
i don't understand how she was down there for so long, she's like a mermaid, a blowjob giving mermaid.
The movie was so bad she gave me two blowjobs. Two.
he went down on me with a nose plug on, you tell me how it went
I'm starting to have hip problems from having my legs spread too often.
It wasn't until i was on my knees with three dicks in my face that i thought it might be a bad idea
she tossed me in the back of the car and said "god gave u the gift of life and I wanna swallow it"
I think he liked me better when I only opened my mouth to suck his dick.
morning after pill = breakfast in bed
yes, we have a friends with benefits thing. i found out he had never 69'd, done anal or had a threesome. i told him i was going to rock his world.
I was holding her hair back and when she quit puking she told me she's been saving her scissor virginity for me.
went for icecream. accidentally deepthroated it. my mom gave me a dirty look, but the kid behind the counter looked impressed
when "blow-job jen" drunk dials you at 3 in the morning, you answer
It's not every day you get to see a girl fuck herself with a pickle.
all nice guys are gay and all hot ones are assholes
Condom broke. Took her to CVS for plan B and parked in expectant mothers spot. I laughed.. she cried
I didn't realize how much I missed him until his balls were back in my mouth..
We had sex in the woods. It was great until some bird started mimicking my orgasm sounds
i know you like preteen girls so i'm gonna offer you some advice...dump a bucket of glitter on yourself and walk into the sunlight. they will come running.
In a tragic sexting typo, I typed the word "blobjob". Now she's coming over and I have no idea what I'm in for...
Spent 30 minutes in the board meeting trying to figure out where the foul smell was coming from. Thought it was the guy's feet sitting next to me. Then i uncrossed my legs. Turns out it was my vagina. Thank goodness for travel size febreeeze.
I want to give you a handjob with my mouth.
I made her cum... she sounded like Ray Romano
Just got a full body massage. It was uncomfortable at first, but then I realized I let strangers turn off the lights and put their hands all over my naked body 3 times a week anyways.

boys shirt 9524. I have followed directions for view C. I have come to the collar and find that the two "bands" in the front two halves make the neckline too big for the collar! The collar comes to exactly where the bands start. So this makes me think that these bands shouldn't be there!?, should they be incorporated into the front sections instead of added, not according to instructions - it clearly says to add these bands.
And - if they are not, then the front of the shirt is not wide enough and also if I turn these bands in, it hits the pocket. I have re-read the directions several times and cannot understand why the collar is too small, what have I done wrong? I have cut the correct size, the correct patterns pieces for the collar and collar stand. Is this a known issue with this pattern? I have placed a question into Burda but have not heard. Has anyone had a problem similar to this one? I'm not an expert nor a beginner -I find myself having repeated problems with Burda, but I love their sytles. I'd appreciate some help... thanks.
I can't help you, but there is a collar video on this site in the "past webcasts" list. http://www.silhouettepatterns.com/

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- This was like crossing Dickens with baseball on a Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium: a mismatch that many expected but few expected. (And, really, how often do you see English Lit linked to the national pastime?)
Think that's weak? You should have watched what the Royals mustered against rookie lefty Andrew Albers in a 7-0 loss to the Minnesota Twins.
Here was a pitching matchup -- a tale of two pitchers? (yes, last one) -- in which the red-hot Royals sent their ace, James Shields, out to face a 27-year-old in his major-league debut.
And ....
Well, the Twins simply battered Shields while coasting to an easy victory behind a magnificent performance from Albers over 8 1/3 innings. He exited after yielding a single and a walk in the ninth.
Casey Fien immediately loaded the bases by walking Billy Butler before ending the game when Alex Gordon grounded into a double play. The Royals lost for just the second time in their last 14 games.
"I know stuff like this happens," Butler said. "Confidence isn't going anywhere in here. You face a guy for the first time ... you've got to tip your hat to him. It's his debut. He made his pitches.
"You don't see that out of Juego (Shields) usually either. It was just bad night. You knew one of these was coming eventually. I think the telltale on this one is to see how we bounce back from this (Wednesday)."
Shields, 6-8, gave up seven runs in six innings in what easily marked his worst start of the year.
"Nothing went right," he said. "But on the flip side, you've got a young kid on the other side who pitched a phenomenal game.
"Overall, he did a pretty good job tonight of handling our bats, especially the way we swung it (Monday). Sometimes, those games are going to happen. Hopefully, we'll move on and get a win (today)."
This was a clunker of the first order and perhaps, as Butler suggested, it was long overdue. Their only loss in their previous 13 games came Friday in extra innings against the Mets in New York.
Still ... this was, ah, unexpected.
The Royals offered little more than token resistance against Albers, a Canadian promoted last Friday from Class AAA Rochester, where he was 9-4 with a 3.11 ERA in 22 starts.
"It was special, no question," he said. "It's hard to put into words, but it was special. To be able to go out and have that kind of performance in your debut, unfortunately it's probably not going to get much better from there.
"So I'm really going to enjoy this high and really enjoy tonight."
San Diego selected Albers in the 10th round of the 2008 draft, but he underwent Tommy John surgery the next year and was pitching in an independent league when the Twins found him in March 2011.
It all led to this.
Albers allowed a one-out single in the first to Eric Hosmer but then induced a double-play grounder from Butler. The Royals didn't get another base runner until Alcides Escobar's two-out single in the sixth.
Hosmer got another single in the eighth before Escobar opened the ninth with a single. A one-out walk to Hosmer ended Albers' night at 109 pitches.
"He had them completely off balance all night long," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "I did not want to take him out. I thought he was out of gas there at the end. Wow, that was fun to watch.
"Your first night in the big leagues. To do what he did against a team that's red hot like that was pretty special for us. We needed it desperately."
Shields has been a tough-luck pitcher for much of the season, but he entered Tuesday coming off victories in successive starts for the first time all year. Even so, it was clear from the start that he didn't have it.
Shields surrendered homers in the first inning to Brian Dozier and Justin Morneau, which staked Albers to a three-run lead before he threw a pitch.
It didn't stop there.
The Twins added single runs in the second and fourth (on a Chris Colabello homer) before striking for two in the sixth inning. Shields' final line showed seven runs and eight hits in 110 pitches over six innings.
"He just had trouble getting the ball down consistently," manager Ned Yost said. "Command was the issue most of the night for him... . He didn't get in jams today. The home-run ball killed him."
Yost chose to ride Shields through six innings in the rout before calling on lefty Will Smith, who retired nine in a row the final three innings.
That extended outing probably means Smith will be optioned to Class AAA Omaha to make room today for lefty Danny Duffy, who will start the series finale in place of Wade Davis, who remains on family leave.

new black pine repotted at last
May 28, 2013, 02:15 PM »
The buds on my new black pine had finally elongated far enough to find me the courage to repot this little black pine.
It was still in 100% organic nursery soil, that just never wanted to dry out.
I found the roots in a poor condition: Lots of black, dead roots and not a single white tip on any of the roots.
I did not prune and I did not bare root the tree. Just removed all the soil that came out easy, teasing with my tweezers.
Repotted it in a similar pond basket and a mixture of akadama, pumice and lava. (and just a little composted pine bark)

Hi All,
It looked so happy after repotting.
Now it barely has new needles. The buds did not develop into candles: It just grew needles.
Must have been repotting stress.
Will have to wait for next year, see how it develops than. For now I won't do anything!

It looks to me that you produced a very short internode by repotting. Usually the tree is not fed until after the needles have hardened to achieve the same end. Very interesting!

I clearly see candles. On both your before repotting pictures, and after repotting.
Maybe you are unfamiliar with the term, "candles"?
See Jonas's blog:
. Over the past couple of months he has published extensive photographs of candles and decandling techniques.
In my opinion, you repotted very late in the growing season. You are supposed to repot before the candles have extended like they have in your first post.
(I am thinking that you thought the emerging needles on the candles were buds and when in fact they are needles.)

Normally buds extent to candles. Needles become visible along the length of the candle and start to grow.
This was different. Buds extended very late because of the weather this spring and because the tree didnt become active untill the end of may it was repotted so late. After repotting for a long time nothing happend. Until suddenly these needles appeard. No soft new needles, bud they seemed hard and mature needles.
Anyway, the roots didn't look to good so I allready decided to leave it alone this year.

Dirk, is English a second language? If so, that's probably why we are miscommunicating.
On Post #3, the second picture, you show a candle with new needles. The "candle" looks like it was maybe 4 or 5 centimeters long. There is one centimeter from where it starts to emerge from last year's growth before the needles start. That part has no buds. We call that portion of the candle the "neck". Then you have the needles. If you look at the very tip end, you will see a pointed structure, it will eventually turn white as it matures. That is a bud. They vary in size, but they will probably grow to be about 3/4 of a centimeter before it goes dormant for the winter.
Next spring, the buds will begin to swell, and grow longer. Just as the buds are beginning to swell, or even just before they do is the proper time to repot. It is better to repot too early than too late. As the buds swell, they get longer. Some can become very long 10 to 20 centimeter, some less strong may stay very short, less than a centimeter. If they come from a bud at the end of a shoot, we call the growth a "candle".
Your tree had many candles. In your first post, I can see several candles, and they appear to be about 3 centimeters long. That is really too late to repot. It appears the tree survived, so it's ok. When the candles stop getting longer, that is when the needles emerge from the candles.
Your first post shows candles that have extended and are ready to begin produce needles.
Your JBP looks perfectly normal to me. You may have set it back a little by repotting late, but it appears normal.

What you are saying is that though small the candles look allright?
I expected them to be more vigorous.
About the late repot: we had frosts in april. By the beginning of may still nothing had happend with this tree.
I'm allways advised not to repot to soon, but after the tree starts to grow.
Usually there are white tips on the roots, showing that the roots grow. There weren't any when I repotted this.
I'm very glad that you are convinced that my tree is oke. I lost one last year due to repotting to early. I repotted in march and had severe frosts after that.
Btw I do know what buds look like and what candles look like. I know what the neck of the shoot is and how to decandle.
It was just so very slow and not developing the way I expected.
Thanks for your comments.

Dirk, I think your candles were weaker than you expected, but they are fine. It is always good to keep the tree out of freezing weather after a repot.
I think the reason the candles were weak is the original soil was too organic. JBP grow best in inorganic soil. They also like to be kept on the dry side. Organic soil usually keeps the roots too wet which can cause them to rot. As evidenced by the black roots you found.
The combination of the new soil you used and the colander you potted in should be much better.
Fertilize well this fall until it goes dormant. Fertilize again next spring and you should see strong growth. Do not repot next spring.
Good luck, the tree looks great!

Dispite of all the confusion about candling or not I decided to post a follow up on my small black pine.
Think it's as healthy as could be and candled good.
Next spring I'll repot it (slippot) it into a Slightly bigger pond basket. It's now in an 8 in basket, it's going into a 10 in basket.
It may grow out for another two growing seasons before it will get its first styling.

Dirk, the tree is super healthy now! Your potting job really worked!
What are your goals for this tree? Are you trying to grow it out for a larger size and thick trunk? Or do you want to keep it the size it is and start ramification? (Building lots of twigs )
Your what steps you take next depend upon what goals you have for the tree.

I plan on thickening the trunk for the next two years. Above the soil it's about 1.5 in just below the soil it's little over two inch.
I'd like to ad at least half an inch to the trunk.
After that I'll cut back to a total hight of little over 9 inch.
Maybe I'll slip-pot by the end of this month all ready. So roots can recover and give a better start next year.
Btw, the curves in the trunk may not be visible non the picture but are there all ready.

I'm really not a fan of "slip potting".
If you're going to repot next year, I would do what Boon calls a "half bare root" repot. You got rid of a lot of the old soil last time, but not all of it. It will take two more repottings to remove it all.
It looks like when you did your previous repot, you left a lot of roots growing on the bottom of the root ball.
A better technique is to have the bottom of the root ball be flat. Large roots growing straight down should be cut back.
The idea is to encourage the radial roots growing out from the base to grow, but suppress those growing down. Growing out the radial roots will thicken the nebari, and thicken the lower trunk.
So, step one, make the root ball shallower, bottom flat, no roots sticking down out of the flat root ball.
Step 2 is to look at the root ball, and determine which half has the weakest roots. And bare root the weak half. It could be the front, back, right or left. Choose a "half" and use bent tip tweezers and root hook to remove all the soil, all the up under the base of the trunk. Gently wash off soil you can't get off with tweezers.
Then pot back up in the colander.
Two years later, do the other half.

What would you do if you have wished something from long before has possibly in the works to coming true this time?
like wanting to be with your "crush"..which you wished before,
for a long time you've been waiting for it to happen and grew tired believing in it and finally gotten over it..
then suddenly fate made your paths cross again. That person comes back without notice and now you're afraid for that wish you made before to happen because he's no longer that same person you wanted from before. What could you possibly do? Would you try all your might to avoid it? or just give it a try?
back from before, i wished upon a shooting star that i would end up with him. but, fate was too selfish, he parted both our ways. Studied different schools and now that we're both in college, we study in the same school. You know, it's so creepy because he has become the guy who's not my type. So much things has changed. We ignored each other at first, but then fate made an opportunity for us to talk. We were friends again and i started to hate times when we accidentally run across each other somewhere when going our way to school. It meant that I have to go to school with him. Well, it doesn't mean that I've become despiteful of him, it's just that I'm no longer comfortable to be with him. I don't understand but I am just not comfortable to be with him. It would be even better if we just greet each other when we run across each other at school. Anyway, we don't see a lot these days. He's graduating and getting busy, same with me.. getting such a hectic schedule so it would be impossible for us to see each other. It's quite a relief.
BUT, what if fate is still in the works?
how would I prevent it from happening?
how would I take that wish back? I don't want for it to happen anymore. It was a childish wish I made. And now I'm regretful for what I did.
The question is, are wishes upon stars even true?
do it even become real? or do they come true?
I better hope not!

Millions around the world are counting down to June 11, 2010. That's the date the first soccer World Cup ever to be played in Africa will kick off in Johannesburg, South Africa. If you haven't taken notice beyond Charlize Theron's antics at the drawing or just don't care, it's time to become a fan or at least pay attention. Pay attention because South Africa hosting the World Cup will be a historic moment of first black president proportions.
The South African story is a powerful, historical narrative. It's filled with oppression, struggle, and overcoming adversity. This moment is about much more than soccer.
This is a country where institutionalized apartheid was in effect until 1992. That's right, 1992. Since the beginning of the apartheid era in 1948, countless South Africans have given their lives for basic equality. When South Africa kicks off against Mexico on June 11, 2010, South Africans will break down in tears the same way so many of us did on election night.
It doesn't matter whether you follow soccer. For all who care about equality and social justice, the South African story should shed light on why this World Cup is not just a game. Some context:
1990: Nelson Mandela took his first steps into the world after being imprisoned for twenty-seven years. I vividly recall watching this moment on television. I also vividly recall listening to Bell Biv Devoe's "Poison", Digital Underground's "The Humpty Dance", Vanilla Ice's sadly groundbreaking "Ice Ice Baby", and, um, Lisa Stansfield's "All Around the World" (don't front) right around the same time. You remember what life was like then? Well, in South Africa that was two years before the government repealed major pieces of apartheid legislation like the Group Areas Act that provided the legislative basis to separate whites and non-whites in public places.
1992: A whites-only referendum paved the way to equality in South Africa. We were jamming to Boys II Men's "Motownphilly", LL Cool J's "Around the Way Girl", Mary J. Blige's "Real Love", and Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation" on MTV on this side of the Atlantic. Meanwhile South Africans were celebrating the end of institutionalized apartheid. Had we been jamming to the aforementioned hits in South Africa, we would have been jamming in racially segregated areas. 1992. No integrated jamming allowed.
1994: South Africa held its first democratic elections where people of all races were allowed to vote. You might recall the image of Nelson Mandela voting that day. Remember where you were in 1994? I bet you remember where you were during the O.J. episode. Well if Orenthal James Simpson was living in South Africa only a few years earlier, the South African police would likely have stopped his white Bronco to make sure he had a pass. But he also might not have been joy riding in the first place because if had married Nicole Brown Simpson in South Africa, he would have been arrested for violating the Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act.
If your good memories from 1994 came from watching Pulp Fiction, or listening to Snoop Dogg's Gin & Juice or even Yanni's Live at the Acropolis, consider how much happier you would have been if that year marked the first time you could legally cast a ballot in your own country. Considerably happier, I imagine.
2010: Roughly sixteen years after Mandela voted, South Africa is on its third post-apartheid President, none of whom could have legally lived in the same neighborhood as previous South African leaders prior to 1992. Since the '94 elections, South Africa has hosted the Rugby World Cup (a topic worthy of its own article and the subject of recent movie, Invictus), and is about to host the world's largest sporting event. That this is happening only sixteen years after people of all races gained the right vote shows how far South Africa has come in such a short period of time.
The United States doesn't have a monopoly on black history-making moments and remarkable journeys. Change you can believe in is going on elsewhere too. June 11, 2010 is going to be one of those "where were you?" days. Where were you when the biggest sporting event in the world kicked off on the African continent for the first time? Where were you when South Africa finally emerged on the largest world stage fathomable after decades of isolation?
I hope we tune in to this event like so many people tuned in for the first time to our recent election. South Africa deserves this moment, and we owe it to ourselves to pay attention and cheer — if not for the games, then for what the games represent.

Protoplasm, living matter. It is generally colorless, nearly transparent, and slightly heavier than water. The consistency of protoplasm varies from watery to jellylike; usually it is viscous and can be drawn out in threads, like the albumen of an egg. Protoplasm typically is organized into microscopic structures called cells.
The chemical composition of protoplasm is very complex. Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen are main elements. Biologists once assumed that protoplasm is everywhere the same. Since then biochemists and biophysicists have discovered and named many kinds of protoplasmic material in various types of cells and parts of cells. The term protoplasm therefore is too broad and indefinite to have scientific meaning, and is little used by researchers.

The Best Way to Get a Girl to Like You
Are you a nice guy who likes a girl but just don't know the best way to get a girl? Probably, you are unsure of what to do or maybe you just don't have enough confidence in yourself. Possibly, you have been rejected by girls many times too often to even want to try again. Don't lose heart, you can do something about it so that you can turn the tables and make things to your way. Read this article to know the best way to get any girl like you.
The most important thing you need to do in order to get the girl to like you is to reinvent yourself through your body language. Sure, you can be the boy-next-door whom everyone likes but if you don't send the idea that you also like yourself, the girl will pick up cues from your body language and not give you any attention. Thus, it is very essential to master control of your body language. Thus, be sure to stand straight and make eye contact. These two acts mean that you are happy in your own skin and in charge of the situation.
The other thing that also falls under the best way to get a girl to like you is – you should be able to match the energy level of the girl. Although men are often perceived as a strong and powerful, the girls always want the men who are sensitive to them– sensitive enough to meet them at their level. Therefore, you should see the first girl and determine her energy, so you can be in synch with her. As such, be aware of her reactions and make sure to respond fittingly. If you can show the girl you know what she needs and you have the ability to meet them, she will eventually find herself liking you.
Using the Best Way to Get a Girl to Like You
The next thing to do which is still part of the best way to get a girl to like you is to go back to your body language. Yes, body language is very important as it is one of the visible aspects of your total personality that the girl will get to know first. Thus, if you are not the type to go up to a girl directly and talk to her right away, don't expect to succeed by doing so. More often than not, girls are intimidated by men who seem too direct and confrontational. Instead, try being confident minus the aggressiveness.
The fourth thing to do, and it is still is part of the best way to get a girl to like you is to be aware when you are doing too much or too little to be noticed. In any social setting, you must always act in a manner that is judged necessary or appropriate. Therefore, you should know what steps can be taken so that the girl will see you as confident yet not arrogant. Therefore, take care not to be too boisterous or too quiet. These extremes do not work at all.
Lastly, when you want a girl to like you, you must make sure that you communicate the idea that you are a friendly sort of guy. Thus, it is important that the girl see you talking with different people and mainly interacting with them. When the girl sees you as a sociable person, she could really warm up to you and would want to get to know you. Of course, it would also help if you give her and the other people around her lots of friendly smiles. The five tips given in this article belong to the best way to get a girl to like you: use them well.

TTL adds principal engineer
The Nashville office of Tuscaloosa, Alabama-based geotechnical engineering company TTL Inc. has added Mark Herrmann as principal engineer.
Herrmann brings more than 28 years of technical expertise in commercial, industrial, utility, public works and roadway projects, as well as project management experience, according to a release.
Herrmann obtained his bachelor's degree in civil and environmental engineering from Vanderbilt University in 1986.
Herrmann is a registered professional engineer in 15 states and has performed projects in about 25 states. He is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers-Tennessee Section and the National Society of Professional Engineers.
TTL provides geotechnical engineering, analytical laboratory testing, construction materials testing, and environmental consulting services.
TTL lures Gresham exec
Hill Center Sylvan Heights site undergoes core drilling
H.G. Hill Realty Co. has had geo technical sampling done on the Charlotte Avenue site of its proposed Hill Center Sylvan Heights mixed-use project.
Nashville-based TTL Inc. undertook the core drilling, which will help Hill's engineers best determine loads for the building design.
"We are in design [phase] and hoping for a late fall start," Jimmy Granbery, Hill Realty CEO, told the Post.
Hill is working with Barge Cauthen & Associates (engineering), Hawkins Partners (planning and landscape architecture), RPM Transportation Consultants (traffic study) and Southeast Venture (design) on the project (read more here).
Demo has already started on some houses on the site.
More work done on Gulch Crossing site
Last week, survey crews were spotted on the 11th Avenue site slated to be home to the proposed Gulch Crossing office building.
This week, core drilling took place on the massive empty lot.
Something is up, yet developer MarketStreet Enterprises is remaining silent, and clearly serious. You don't pay to have geological samples taken — in this case courtesy of Tuscaloosa, Ala.-based TTL Inc. — simply to see if your land might offer some interesting rocks.
Announced in October 2011, Gulch Crossing remains a rendering only. But with the recent flourish of activity on the site, one must wonder what MarketStreet's next move might be. Whether the Gulch master developer is about to disclose an anchor tenant for the proposed building or announce it will begin construction on a spec building or simply continue preliminary site efforts in hopes of full-scale work starting sooner rather than later, we can only guess.
But if we spot erosion barriers next week, we'll let you know.
