Application of Madhu (honey) is one among the Shashthi Upakrama (sixty treatment modalities) described by Sushruta. Clinical observation has shown its effectiveness in treatment of Dushta Vrana (chronic wounds). We report a case of Dushta Vrana on the anterior aspect of the right leg that was treated successfully with local application of Madhu and Neem (Azadirachata indica) bark decoction.
In spite of the advances that have been made, the management of chronic wounds is still a challenge for the clinician. Sushruta was quite aware of the importance of wound management and has described Shashthi Upakramas (sixty measures) for Vrana Ropana (wound healing), of which the application of Madhu is one.[1] Many research studies have been carried out to examine the value of topical application of honey for wound healing.[2–5] Madhu is commonly used as Anupana (i.e., given along with active medication to enhance activity) and also, sometimes, for its primary medical property systemically as well as locally, either alone or in combination with other drugs. It has been described to have properties like Lekhana (scraping), Sandhana (union), Shodhana (purification), Ropana (healing), and Tridoshaghna (pacifying all three Doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha).[6] It is used as an external application in Vrana (wound), either alone or in combination with Sarpi (Goghrita, i.e., ghee made from cow's milk).[7,8]
Honey is hygroscopic in nature, with a pH of 3.2–4.5.[9–11] It prevents colonization and bacterial growth in tissues due to this acidic nature. Most microorganisms do not grow in pure honey because of its low water activity (aw) of 0.6.[12–13] Honey also has antibacterial properties[14–18] The presence of hydrogen peroxide[19,20] and a high osmotic pressure[21] also contribute to the antibacterial effect of honey. These natural properties of Madhu are said to make it suitable for use in wound management. We present a case where a chronic wound healed after the application of honey.
A 70-year-old female patient of Vata-Kaphaja Prakriti presented to us for treatment of a chronic infected wound that involved entire anterior tibial aspect of the right lower limb. She complained of burning pain in the wound as a result of a drug reaction, foul-smelling pus discharge, difficulty in walking, and occasional fever. On examination a large (22 × 4.5 cm) ugly-looking ulcer was present on the anterior aspect of the right leg, extending from the knee to the ankle joint. There was foul-smelling pus discharge and local swelling [Figure 1]. The pus culture report showed presence of Staphylococcus aureus. The patient had no systemic disease. She had been taking treatment for the wound without any relief. She had history of hypersensitivity reactions to ibuprofen and cotrimoxazole. All laboratory investigations were in the normal range. She was admitted in the female Shalya ward for further investigations and management.
Every morning the wound was first treated with freshly prepared lukewarm Neem bark decoction, which was poured on the wound while it was simultaneously cleaned with sterile swabs. After cleaning, Madhu (Dabur India Ltd., Solan, H.P., India) was applied in adequate quantity with the help of a spatula and the wound was covered with sterile gauze and loosely bandaged.
Along with the local wound treatment, the following drugs were given orally in powdered form 12 hourly: Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra Linn.) 2 g, Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus Willd.) 2 g, Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) 2 g, and Guduchi [Tinispora cardifolia Willd (Miers)] 2 g. The drugs were administered along with lukewarm water. At the end of the 5th week (the 35th day) the wound had healed completely, leaving only a minimal scar [Figure 2].
Madhu has Vranaropak properties as per the principles of the sixty Upakramas of Vrana management described in the Sushruta Samhita. Madhu[22] is believed to act by 'pacifying' the three vitiated Doshas, i.e,. Vata, Pitta, and Kapha by multiple actions attributable to its Madhura (sweet) Rasa, Kashaya (astringent) Uparasa, Ruksha (dry) Guna, Sheeta (cold) Virya, Madhura Vipaka, and Sukshma Marga Anusari (ability to permeate in microchannels) Prabhava. Madhura Rasa gives nutrition to the tissue, which helps in granulation tissue formation, while Kashaya Rasa provides Lekhana (scraping) that helps in desloughing, preparing the wound for healing. Thus, Madhu has excellent properties to heal the wound by virtue of its Sodhana (purification), Ropana (healing), and Sandhana (union) actions.
At the time of presentation, the patient had pain, discharge, discoloration, etc., with predominating Vata Dosha. The Madhura Rasa of the honey reduced the vitiated Vata Dosha, leading to reduced pain and enhanced healing. Madhu has been described as having the ability to promote phagocytosis, detoxification, and proteolyses, all of which assist in cleaning the wound.[23,24] Further, Madhu pacifies Pitta Dosha by virtue of its Madhura Rasa and Sheeta Guna.[25,26] Kapha is taken care of with Kashaya Rasa and Ruksha Guna, which accelerate healing. Daily dressing of the wound with Neem bark decoction helped to inhibit the growth of microorganisms.[27–30]
Honey is a hyperosmolar medium, preventing bacterial growth. Because of its high viscosity it forms a physical barrier, and the presence of the enzyme catalase gives honey antioxidant properties.[31] Honey has been shown to be useful in the prevention of hypertrophic scarring and post-burn contractures.[32] Honey is a very effective agent for dressing of split-thickness skin graft.[33] In our patient, healing occurred with minimal scar formation. The drugs that were administered internally in powdered form (Yashtimadhu, Shatavari, Gokshura, and Guduchi) have antioxidant, immunomodulating, and adaptogenic properties.[34,35] These compounds exerts a Rasayana effect. As the patient was elderly, we gave Rasayana drugs to improve Rasa, Rakta, and Mamsa Dhatus (tissues). This might have contributed to the wound healing[36,37] and helped the patient to attain and maintain good health.
There were no adverse events throughout the management and healing occurred uneventfully. The mode of treatment was found to be cost-effective, safe, and easy to implement.[38]

A chosen case study house forms the basis of this paper, which is a pilot energy-efficient social housing project, completed by one of the largest housing developers in the UK. The main aim of this study is to inform the redesign of flexible energy-efficient housing units. The housing, designed for social tenants, was built by the Accent Group in 2005, using modern construction methods and sustainable materials, based on extensive research from the adaptable and "Grow Home" principles of Avi Friedman as well as open building implementation. The first pilot scheme was designed in collaboration with the Building Energy Analysis Unit at the University of Sheffield, together with the Goddard Wybor Practise, and was a successful housing development with respect to being environmentally friendly and a low-energy design scheme for the UK climate. This paper presents redesigning of flexible terraced housing units, and their performance evaluation, using a building simulation method as well as the passive-house planning package. The aim was to plan a row of terraced houses that can not only utilize a flexible design concept in floor planning layout, but also to reduce energy consumption with a passive design with particular attention paid to material selection. In addition, building simulation work has been carried out with the use of DesignBuilder software for both thermal and energy performance evaluation. The study examines the annual energy performance and comfort conditions in the designed house to be situated in the Northeast of England, UK. A terraced house unit design is considered a flexible home that can adjust to the needs of different tenants for the purpose of achieving a sustainable building under different aspects, such as low energy, low carbon, use of renewables, and low impact materials, with flexibility by design.
Climate change is one of the biggest issues the world is facing today and the UK government is at the forefront to deal with this challenge. The domestic sector accounts for 27% of the UK's carbon emissions, making it necessary to pay attention to the way homes are designed and constructed [
The introduction of flexibility into the living space is the solution for users to adjust successfully to social behavioral changes. The Oxford dictionary describes the word "flexibility" as follows: "capable of bending easily without breaking" and "able to be easily modified to respond to altered circumstances or conditions" (Oxford 2015) [
Flexible architecture is described by Lelieveld [
"The term flexible architecture describes an architecture from which specific components can be changed in response to external stimuli, for example the users or environment. This change could be executed by the building system itself, transformed manually or could be any other ability to transform by an external force" [
The need for change is a universal phenomenon, and flexibility in the quality characteristics of a space accommodates spatial changes over a long period of time, rather than just thinking of the needs for present use of the space [
In the past few decades, architectural practice has faced a lot of challenges. Although our living conditions change in different contexts considering social, technological, economic, environmental, and political aspects, our housing types, responding to our patterns of living evolution, are still largely based on early 20th century models [
The architecture of flexibility can be considered one of the most important achievements of the Modern Movement [
Schneider and Till in their paper "Flexible Housing; Opportunities and Limits" (2005), described flexible housing as "housing that is designed for choice at the design stage, both in terms of social use and construction, or designed for change over its lifetime" [
N. John Habraken, a Dutch architect, educator, and theorist (1976) [
The division of "infill" and "support" was initially explored by Habraken, wherein, he explained support as the permanent part of a building provided to the occupant by the builder or the architect commissioned; while infill includes the interior partitions, a kitchen, and bathrooms as defined by the occupant. The systems and parts associated with the infill level tend to change in cycles of 10 to 20 [
In this paper, a case study of a pilot terraced energy-efficient social housing unit (
A row of terrace houses—energy efficient social housing in northeast England, UK.
This paper presents the redesign of terraced housing units [
The case study chosen for the studies in this paper goes back to the "Accent Home" concept, a terraced house design for social housing, developed and situated in Leeds/Bradford region in the northeast of England. The building design was completed by one of the UK's largest social housing developers at the time to achieve low cost and low energy designs for the UK social housing sector.
The aim of this study was to design a new sustainable building prototype situated in the same area as the Accent Home; beginning from the early stages of architectural design, together with a vision to develop future housing with flexibility in mind, to meet the needs of different tenants or the needs of a single family in the future. Going back to the drawing board, all dimensions of each apartment have been considered. On an overall plan of 290 m2, there are four apartments (
Annual sun path: top view (
Layout and configuration (N: Night, D: Day).
After studying the history of terraced houses in England (UK) and considering design flexibility, the design started to take a different configuration that could arrive at the goal of flexibility, while at the same time be energy efficient, before finally arriving at the chosen layout [
As mentioned earlier, the main facade of the building is oriented 19° to the east and the extended plan is in the shape of a rectangle (12 m × 6 m). First, a decision has been given to divide the plan into two different square areas: Day (D) and Night (N) (
The positioning of the staircase and washroom is an important decision that would define all the following phases of a flexible design. These are, in effect, two inflexible elements that once placed cannot be easily moved. For this reason, decision of situating the staircase in the north side of the building, instead of the washroom, needed accurate analysis. The washroom in the back might have an external window that would also allow natural ventilation. On the other hand, the stairs in that position creates an independent nucleus and a new entry to the building, and to each independent level of the building. This was considered the most flexible solution (
Positioning of continues staircase and toilettes on all three floor plans.
Furthermore, the stairwell can be used for natural ventilation inside the building and can create a natural solar chimney (
The positioning of the main entry is another important problem to be solved in a flexible design and, moreover, in a terraced home. First, the main entry has a double function,
Due to the main entry and the staircase disposition, the apartment is provided with two independent entry doors. The first one on the south facade and connected directly with the main street, and the second one on the north side that can be used as a service door or an independent door to arrive at the apartments of the first and second floors. The internal space resulting from this division is a long and dynamic space of 48 m2 that can meet the needs of different tenants (
Spaces with possible divisions on upper floors.
Redesign of a social housing development.
The division of infill and support was initially explored as one of the main principles of flexible housing. This division support is the permanent part of the building provided to the occupant by the builder or the architect commissioned, while infill includes the interior partitions, for example a kitchen and bathrooms, as defined by the occupant. The systems and parts associated with the infill level tend to change in cycles of 10 to 20 years [
Seeing the possible divisions (
A longitudinal section with growing units.
The internal space resulting from the division is a long and dynamic space of 48 m2 that can meet the needs of different tenants. In addition, Tenants can convert different zones through sliding walls, or through more or less flexible walls. In the following, the full layouts of the housing units' floor plans are presented (
Floor plans of the housing units.
Energy efficiency in housing is an important factor that has to be considered in order to achieve the aim of sustainable housing. Thus, in recent years, the applications of renewable energy in buildings has rapidly increased; sometimes supported by national subsidies. Nevertheless, the high costs of energy systems and their complex integration, coupled with expensive upkeep, discourages many people from investing in such systems. It is important to design flexible houses in order to advance the use of new technologies; however, it is equally necessary to reduce the use of energy systems by maximizing the advantages of the sun's energy, location and materials. This is a passive method that allows comfort with few energy systems.
Sustainable building, through the Passivhaus standard [
Super insulation, isolated thermal bridges and airtightness are three important principles of the Passivhaus standard that have to be considered during every design stage. In this flexible and passive house design study, there are low u-values [
In the case study home, a combination of the planning principles from the "plotter pen" [

The Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) has been used as a design tool in the process of redesign. The package provides the architect and the engineer with instruments that are necessary for the design of a well-performing passive house [
The first aspect noticed while working with the PHPP worksheet is the straight-forward organization of Microsoft Excel based spreadsheet. It is easy to insert all the different values for a building that is regular in plan or in elevation, however it is not the same way for a building that has an irregular shape or, such as in this case, a prototype that needs little adjustments in the architectural design in order to find the best shape for good indoor comfort. Another aspect that did not help in the design of a flexible home is the calculation of PHPP on a treated floor area. One of the main objectives of this project was to understand the difference in terms of the indoor comfort between the different kinds of configurations that a flexible design could allow; however, with the PHPP, only the comfort for the overall treated area of the whole building can be calculated. This aspect, for example, has importance for studying the overheating hours. The PHPP verification worksheet gives the frequency of overheating (

Energy performance evaluation is usually beneficial at the early stages of design; however, in this particular case, in redesigning of a social housing development, it is still an important factor that has to be considered in order to make the necessary provisions for achieving the best practice standards,
In the study, DesignBuilder software has been used for conducting building simulation work [

|DesignBuilder uses construction components to model the conduction of heat through walls, roofs, ground and other opaque parts of the building envelope. Using the construction data, the physical properties of each element have been defined for the building (e.g., external wall, party wall, interior wall, roof, floors and ground floor). The same is true for windows and doors that can be selected from a well-provided library.

This paper attempts to describe an approach taken for different design phases to propose a new sustainable building, starting from the early stages of design to the building simulation component for performance evaluation. Collaboration between architects and engineers (
PHPP has been very useful to acquire specific energy and heat demand analyses, and to verify whether the building achieves the Passivhaus standard. On the other hand, DesignBuilder can simulate indoor comfort conditions in greater detail, which makes it easier for the designer to understand the Passivhaus planning stages and how best to manage the results obtained through changing parameters and finding new solutions to fulfill all the requirements set to meet such a standard. Despite two software packages being used for various analyses in the study, both PHPP and DesignBuilder have many features, and provided similar results when compared to each other; thus, the use of both platforms helped to conduct a complete environmental analysis of the building designs, allowing cross-check of results.
The redesign of a terraced home has been a worthy challenge in terms of adopting flexibility in the building form and layout, as well as achieving the best practice energy efficiency standards. In this way, it was also useful to utilize building simulation and performance evaluation as means to help aid the building design, considering various important factors, such as the Passivhaus standard, concerns of overheating, and energy efficiency. Moreover, in real life situations, the occupant (
Last but not least, this is a reminder for all practicing architects and design professionals to utilize the available building simulation platforms to aid their designs, or redesigns, at the early stages of design and throughout their design process. It is also equally important to aid the design with planning of passive design with the use of PHPP. Once more, integrated building design is not a myth, but a way of today's building design practice, and all professionals should work closely in full collaboration and integration, such as architecture and engineering, to help solving challenges of building science.

etnies Footwear has teamed up with Autism Speaks, the nation's largest autism science and advocacy organization, to create a line of co-branded kid's footwear. Ten percent of proceeds of sales of the co-branded shoes, with a minimum of $10,000 per year, will be donated to Autism Speaks to help raise awareness and support Autism Speaks in their continued efforts to fund autism research, as well as develop resources and treatments.
etnies BMX pro Brian Kachinsky has rallied behind the cause. "Individual sports like BMX, can have a positive effect on children with autism," says Kachinsky. "When etnies made me aware of the Autism Speaks organization, I jumped at the chance to be a part of the effort," he adds.
Currently, etnies is offering two co-branded models, the Fader and RVM, which are available in children's sizes and sold in the etnies Web store. According to Kachinsky, an X Games Bronze Medalist who has been a part of the etnies BMX pro team for the past several years, etnies plans to expand their efforts. "The collection will expand to include adult footwear and apparel in coming seasons," says Kachinsky. "Also, in April, etnies and Autism Speaks are planning to host a clinic for kids diagnosed with autism to come and learn how to ride BMX and how to skateboard. It's going to be rad."
Autism, a developmental disorder that appears in the first three years of life, affects the brain's normal development of social and communication skills. Over the past two decades, autism prevalence as risen by up to 600 percent. Today, one in every 110 children is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. And for Kachinsky, the cause hits close to home. "I have friends who have made a career working with autistic children and I admire their dedication in working with those living with autism," he says. "I also think it's part of my role as pro to utilize that status and influence for positive efforts like Autism Speaks."
Autism remains a challenging condition for children and their families, but the outlook today has improved. Today, with the right therapy, many of the symptoms of autism can be mitigated, though most people will have some symptoms throughout their lives. Kachinsky believes that the joint effort between etnies and Autism Speaks will help raise awareness of the disorder.
"As a pro BMX rider, I believe that being a good role model is crucial. Kids are paying close attention to what we do. And if we take their attention and expose them to different causes and amazing organizations like Autism Speaks, we can educate them and hopefully encourage them to support the causes that are important to them personally."
Additional etnies athletes supporting the Autism Speaks cause include skateboarders Jose Rojo and Ryan Sheckler, BMXer Aaron Ross, FMX pro Kyle Loza, and etnies surfers Kai Otton and Sally Fitzgibbons.
Autism Speaks was founded in February 2005 by Bob and Suzanne Wright, grandparents of a child with autism. Since then, Autism Speaks has grown into the nation's largest autism science and advocacy organization, dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism; increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders; and advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their families.

I haven't been sleeping well. That's been par for the course the last forever years or so, so nothing new under the sun. But last night, even though I'd rather have been sleeping, I had quite a bit of fun.
Someone posted this contest in the Facebook group for PiBoIdMo yesterday, and it got my brain churning. Don't get me wrong, I love my Liva and my Konrad, but I do so love to rhyme and be silly sometimes, and since none of my picture book ideas came to life, I've been missing that lately.
The biggest challenge in such a tiny writing contest is of course the word count. 214 words is NOTHING AT ALL!
But I immediately got an idea and my brain has been happily rhyming and reasoning all night long.
The deadline is February 12 and all the info is available here.

The Efik are an ethnic group located in southeastern Nigeria.'Efik' is also the name of their language.
The actual origin of the Efik people is unknown and a subject of debate. There are claims that the Efik people migrated from the hinterlands and settled in the Ibibio, Ibo and Cameroon territories. The European missionaries and traders that arrived in the Calabar territory in the early 1400s concluded that the burial practice of the indigenous people was quite similar to that of the ancient Jews of Semitic origin. A ritualistic sacrifice of animals for the purpose of purification, especially during times of sickness, was performed by the predominant male(s) of each village or group of villages.
There is also a claim that suggests that the Efik are of Bantu origin. Due to civil conflicts and war, the Efik people migrated down the Cross River to seek new homes for themselves in the 1600s. They first attempted to relocate to a place which has since been called Old Efik. It rests on the upper end of one of the adjacent islands in the Cross River. Various differences and wars created more separation and migration up the river to Mbiabo. Some of the Efik people chose to settle in what are now known as Creek Town, Duke town and Henshaw Town.
The afore-mentioned locales are what comprise present day Calabar. The Efik also created settlements such as: Efut Abua, Efut Ekondo, Qua settlements of Akim qua and big Qua towns. Some of the Efik ascended the other branch of the river and formed Adiabo. This area is within the boundaries of the current Cross River State, Nigeria. The Efik settlement over time expanded into the territories of the modern day Ibibio of Akaw Ibom state, Ibo and Qua. The Efik also migrated across the river onto a land that is now called Cameroon.
According to the 2006 Nigerian census, the Efik make up 2% of the nation's population. The language is predominantly spoken in the Calabar municipality, Calabar south, Odukpani, Akpabuyo and Bakassi local government areas. It is the second predominant language to the surrounding neighboring areas. Statistics shows that 360,000 people in the afore-mentioned municipalities (as well as in parts of Cameroon) speak Efik as a first language and that 3.5 million people speak Efik as a second language. It is believed however that, in recent years, the use of the Efik language is decline in western Cameroon.

Have Antique Repair Questions? Ask an Antique Appraiser
Good to find you again!
This would be a painting by Richard A. Holberg (1889-1947), a Massachusetts artist and illustrator. There is a similar painting called Mending Nets on the Wharf (pic attached) that is by this artist. I can use this as a comparison for price, keeping in mind that yours is a watercolor and those traditionally are worth a bit less. I am also considering the prices garnered for his watercolors. This painting has a value of $900 to $1000.00, meaning you'd put it on your insurance with a replacement/insurance value of $1800.00.
It is important for you to click the stars on this question to accept my answer (and on the first one we worked on as well). Thanks so much!

Business owners need to be in a position to boost their business to be able to continue to be successful and bring in new consumers. With manufacturing companies, this can usually suggest they'll have to be more imaginative with the products they create and the work they will carry out for their consumers in order to ensure their particular clientele are completely satisfied. Yet, without having a suitable understanding of the whole manufacturing process, it can be hard for the employees to completely implement their ideas.
A business proprietor will want to ensure their own staff engage in decoupled molding training to be able to ensure they will fully understand the process. This will permit them to be far more creative since they can understand what they'll have to do to make their particular ideas a reality as well as to be able to make certain they are successful with what they generate. This may help make an impression on prospective consumers, assist in improving the products they will produce for existing clientele, as well as help the business expand. It will be extremely valuable for the organization as well as the staff and also will be simple to take full advantage of. Any kind of business proprietor could have their workers participate in training, seminars, as well as more.
The staff who undergo the added scientific molding training have a much better understanding of the whole process and also know just what to try and do to get the results they want. In case something isn't working as well as they'd want, they'll realize what to accomplish in order to resolve the issue as well as develop the product they'll really want. The cabability to become a lot more creative stems from the added coaching they are going to be given as well as enables them to work with the clientele to make certain the products they'll need to have are going to be created and also shall be the very best products possible. This will help make sure the consumers remain clients as they will be content with the results they'll get.
In order to get started expanding your company, injection molding training will probably be necessary. The additional training provides quite a few added benefits for both your company and your workers in order to make sure clientele happen to be satisfied with the products they'll obtain and to be able to make sure the right products could be produced for prospective customers. Look into the scientific molding seminars right now in order to learn far more with regards to how they may be great for your organization.

Citation: Dunn, R.O. 2005. Cold weather properties and performance of biodiesel. In: Knothe, G., Van Gerpen, J., editors. The Biodiesel Handbook. 1st edition. Urbana, IL: AOCS Press. p. 83-121. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Biodiesel is an alternative fuel made from vegetable oil or animal fat that can be employed in compression-ignition (diesel) engines. Although biodiesel has many attractive characteristics as an alternative diesel fuel, it is more prone to start-up and operability issues during cold weather than conventional diesel fuels (petro-diesel). This work reviews progress made in development of biodiesel with improved cold flow properties for applications as a neat fuel as well as in blends with petro-diesel. Pertinent fuel properties and methods for their measurement are defined along with discussion of their relevance for assessing cold weather performance in the field. Five approaches for improving performance are examined as follows: 1) blending with petro-diesel; 2) commercial petro-diesel additives; 3) design of new additives specifically for biodiesel 4) transesterification with medium or branched-chain alcohols (instead of methanol or ethanol); and 5) crystallization fractionation. Finally, an outlook for future studies on improving the cold flow properties of biodiesel including perspectives on new approaches is presented.

What's HappeningWhat's happening in July and Aug
July 1, 2015
What's happening in July
Independence Day
July 4 is Independence Day in the United States. Americans often just say "the Fourth of July." On this day in 1776, the 13 American colonies declared independence from Great Britain. July 4th is a national holiday. Families gather outdoors. They have picnics. Decorations are red, white, and blue in honor of the American flag. In the evening, people gather to watch fireworks. Americans enjoy celebrating the birthday of their country, the United States.
July 18 (in North America) is Eid-al-Fitr for Muslims. It is the first day of Shawwal in the Islamic calendar. It is also the end of Ramadan. Muslims no longer have to fast. Instead they feast and praise and thank God. Eid-al-Fitr is a time of joy and people exchange gifts and cards.
Seafair Torchlight Parade
July 25 is the Seafair Torchlight Parade. It begins with a fun run (5 and 8K) at 6:30 p.m. along the parade route in downtown Seattle. At 7:30 p.m. the parade begins. People can buy tickets to sit in special seats, but most people bring their own chairs and sit or stand on the sidewalks to see the beautiful floats, big helium balloons, clowns, marching bands, horses and riders, fancy cars, and the crazy Seafair pirates with their loud cannon. Participants in the parade often throw candy to children, and everybody always hopes that it won't rain on this special parade. The parade is 65 years old.
What's happening in August
Seafair Weekend
July 31 to August 2 is Seafair Weekend. Hydroplanes race in the Albert Lee Cup around Lake Washington over this weekend. The noise of the engines can be heard all over the region. The activities of the race draw thousands of people to Genesee Park on Lake Washington to watch the boats compete. This is the 65th time the races have been held.
The Navy Blue Angels will also be flying their precision formations over Lake Washington this weekend as part of Seafair. The Blue Angels fly F/A-18 Hornets. The airshow is always thrilling for spectators. Over the weekend, the I-90 bridge is closed several times to allow the pilots to fly the planes. The Washington Department of Transportation posts information about closures.
National Aviation Day
August 19 is National Aviation Day in the U.S. This day honors the history and development of aviation. It is also the birthday of Orville Wright. Orville along with his brother Wilbur were pioneers of flight. Other pioneers of flight, such as Amelia Earhart are also remembered. National Aviation Day is not a federal holiday, but it is a federal observance. People who are interested in aviation often go to museums about aviation history and technology. In the Seattle area, the Boeing Museum of Flight offers a great collection of aircraft and many educational opportunities.

A world of opportunities for dental health awaits us in the new dentistry. Using the old dentistry, dental care professionals did their best to provide a high quality of service given the state of knowledge and technology at that time.
Through advancements in treatment, research, and the desire of the dental care profession to do more and do it better, the new dentistry has emerged giving you a better smile. It is based on a foundation with specific characteristics that are of great benefit to us as consumers.
The dental profession has established a strong foundation for a pleasant smile and a healthy dental future for all of us. Dentistry improvements are continuously being made to this foundation. You can choose to avail yourself of these improvements by asking your dentist, "What can help me to maintain my dental health?" They have the knowledge and the desire to help you.

While many younger patients in the dental care office are cooperative and manageable without the need for sedative drugs, there are a significant number of children who cannot tolerate dental care without the use of these techniques.
For older, mildly apprehensive children, the use of oral conscious sedation may prove effective during dental care. Drugs such as chloral hydrate, Vistaril, Phenergan and Versed are frequently used either alone or in combinations selected by the sedation dentist for dental care.
Inhalation conscious sedation, using nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is also highly effective in a mildly apprehensive older child who is older than six years.
In some instances, the use of a physical restraint (known as a Papoose Board or PediWrap) may be necessary to minimize excessive movement (which could be dangerous) during dental care treatment.
Naturally, many younger children are not mature enough to understand the need for their cooperation during dental care treatment. In this situation, the techniques described above have little chance for success. Deep sedation or general anesthesia may be required for dental care treatment to be successfully provided.
When this is necessary, the sedation dentist will employ a highly trained and certified dentist anesthesiologist, medical anesthesiologist, or, in some cases, nurse anesthetist, whose sole responsibility is to ensure the safety of the child while the dental care is being done.
Dentists trained to administer general anesthesia have received a minimum of two years of specialized advanced training and have been certified by their state Board of Dental Examiners.
Monitoring devices, some of which evaluate breathing, blood pressure and heart rate, will be employed by the sedation dentist to help ensure the safety of the procedure.
All aspects of the child's medical history, including any drugs he/she may be taking, should be disclosed to the dentist before any dental care.
It is suggested that the parent ask the following questions of their dentist prior to signing an informed consent granting permission for the administration of conscious sedation, deep sedation or general anesthesia to a child:
The administration of local anesthetics (commonly known as Novocain) is needed whenever potentially painful dental care procedures are performed (even during conscious sedation dentistry and general anesthesia).
The administration of local anesthetics to children by a trained sedation dentist is extremely safe and represents the ideal means of providing comfortable dental care treatment.
The following are some of the procedures the doctor might use to make this procedure more comfortable for the child:
The duration of the numbness varies from drug to drug - some providing a short duration (two to three hours), with others remaining effective for up to twelve hours. The sedation dentist will select a drug for the child that is appropriate for the planned dental care procedure.
Since a child's tongue and/or lip may remain numb for several hours after the completion of their dental care treatment, the parent should carefully watch the child to prevent them from accidentally biting and injuring their lip or tongue during this period of time.
Properly administered, local anesthetics are safe and effective in almost 100% of younger patients. If a child is unable to tolerate the injection of the local anesthetic in their mouth, it may be necessary to use one of the techniques of conscious sedation, deep sedation or general anesthesia.
Local anesthetics can safely be administered by a trained sedation dentist to patients receiving sedation or general anesthesia during their dentistry visit.

Voke and Bernel are a beautiful, fun couple. We had an amazing time capturing their special day. I have never seen a bride and groom so relaxed on their wedding day but Voke and Bernel were so at ease. This made filming so easy and took a lot of the stress off us. The Ceremony and Reception took place at the Casa China Blanca. We had no idea and very few details on what was going on when we landed in Puerto Vallarta, so shooting this video was scary as well as exciting. I am very pleased with the results, though there could be many improvements I am very happy about the results. Thank you Bernel and Voke for letting us record your very special day. May 1st forever and ever and ever.

We've been talking about taking a work field trip for a few weeks, so today we drove downtown to explore stationery stores, paper boutiques and any other hidden treasures north of our regular stomping grounds. Our first stop on the list was Cottage Industry, a cute, contemporary Artist Co-op.

The shop was attached to Infusion Tea and we had the pleasure of learning all about the different varieties of tea from our "tea connoisseur", Alex. We both enjoyed a cup of steaming hot tea, complete with a tea-steep timer!
After talking to the cashier (a fellow artist with work at Cottage), she gave us some information on leasing space in the store. We pay a set fee to sell our work in the store and would work four hours per week at Cottage Industry. We have an application, so now we need to get our inventory ready, fill it out, and hope the interview goes well! We were so excited at this great Orlando find and had the chance to see some talented local artists' work. For you Florida readers, we highly recommend checking out Cottage Industry and grabbing a cup of tea from Alex. We'll keep everyone posted on the potential store space.
After our tea and inspiration, we drove over to Park Avenue in Winter Park and stopped at a local invitation and stationery boutique, Maureen Hall. It was located in a charming courtyard, right off Park Avenue. Maureen has been at that location for 20 years and in the stationery business for over 30 years! She was a great source of knowledge, with an absolutely adorable store, complete with a cushy couch in the corner.

After a quick stroll down Park Avenue, we headed to Sam Flax to check out their paper selection for upcoming wedding invitations. We stumbled upon this incredible Art-O-Mat. These machines are retired cigarette vending machines used to dispense small works of art. There are currently 82 in the US. The art in this vending machine sold for $5 each. What a great way to collect eclectic pieces of art from all over the country!
Our day ended with a delicious meal from Dexter's in Thornton Park. Who can resist those sweet potato chips? Stay tuned for our next field trip! We're feeling inspired and can't wait to see what happens!

This Chicken Caprese Burger is the new favorite burger at our house. A grilled chicken burger topped with melty mozzarella, tomato, basil and a flavorful balsamic mayo. It's a must try burger this summer.
I've teamed up with Cache Valley Creamery to create this fantastic Chicken Caprese Burger. Cache Valley Creamery has been producing great cheeses for over 75 years.
I used two of their flavorful cheeses in this recipe–their finely shredded Six Cheese Italian cheese in the burger and slices of their Mozzarella to top the burger.
My daughter doesn't care for ground beef, so this burger starts with ground chicken. Then I mix in bacon, bacon grease, lemon pepper seasoning, and Cache Valley Six Cheese Italian cheese so the chicken is flavorful, stays juicy and doesn't fall apart.
The chicken cooks pretty quickly on the grill, but be sure and pre-heat the grill so you'll get some great grill marks. You'll also want to have your Mozzarella sliced and ready to use so you don't overcook the burgers.
Cache Valley dairy products are sold at retailers throughout Utah, including Walmart, Smith's, Macey's, Fresh Market, Harmon's and more. I grew up eating Cache Valley cheese and still love it today.
If you aren't in Utah, substitute your favorite local cheese. But don't let grilling season end without trying this burger!
