You may have suspected for some time that you or your child is in need of orthodontic treatment. You may have been told of some of the many reasons that orthodontic treatment is indicated.
- Improved: appearance, self-esteem, oral health, chewing, Reduction of traumatic injury to teeth and prevention of Temporomandibular Joint pain and disease.
Whatever your situation is, there are some things that you need to know about contemporary orthodontics when making your decision about who will be providing the treatment for you or your loved one.
Not all who provide orthodontic treatment in their dental practice are Board Certified Orthodontists. In fact, approximately 80 percent of the orthodontic treatment in the United States of America is provided by general dentist, as in our General Dentistry practice. Both general dentists and Orthodontists have training and experience in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment though they come by it differently.
It is possible to determine the need for orthodontic treatment at a fairly early age. Some treatments are undertaken as early as 5 -6 years of age, using removable functional appliances. These functional appliances are most effective when used while the child is growing, so before they stop needing new shoes or longer pants due to growth.
Functional appliances are used to create space for the larger permanent teeth, correct abnormal jaw relationships and break habits such as thumb sucking or tongue habits. Their use can also shorten the time needed for fixed orthodontics (braces) later. None of the appliances we use are worn outside the mouth.
Sometimes, in the case of severe crowding, permanent teeth need to be extracted however, everything is done to avoid this. It is our practice, if necessary, and only when necessary, we extract back teeth, in order not to disturb the natural facial beauty. Extracting teeth towards the front of the mouth can have a detrimental effect on the facial appearance.

This LO features my fabulous new dream coat by Enlightened Platypus, who makes amazing coats out of multiple patterned sweaters. I wanted the LO to resemble the coat, so I made a sort of patchwork out of papers which resemble the patterns or colors in the coat (it�s actually more purple than it looks in the photo). The ruffled bottom border of the LO even resembles the coat�s hemline! This is the first time I�ve worked with so many different papers in one LO, but it was really fun. I�m sure I�ll be doing more LOs featuring my favorite new coat soon! Thanks for looking!

Britain BURNS: Yobs spark huge moors fire as firefighters battle to save homes
POLICE are hunting mindless yobs who sparked "intense" moorland fires – as firefighters yesterday tried to stop them spreading towards nearby homes.
Ross Parry
More than 60 firefighters are tacking the blaze in Darwen, Lancs, that police claim was deliberately started by "numerous individuals" about 4pm on Sunday.
The blaze on the tinder dry moorland was so strong Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service crews had to withdraw on Sunday night due to safety concerns.
On Monday morning they returned at 4.30am to tackle the drifting brush fire, aided by crews from Greater Manchester and mountain rescue teams.
A specialist wildfire 'Polaris' unit from Preston is racing across the moors carrying 200 litres of water propelled out of three hoses.
Now Lancashire Police have announced they have launched a criminal investigation to track down the arsonists responsible.
Ross Parry
"This is the exhausting work that our firefighters are doing "Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service
It is feared the blaze has already damaged much of the native wildlife on the remote moorland.
Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service have tweeted shocking video and images of the blaze, writing: "This is the exhausting work that our firefighters are doing to try & bring this fire under control."
They added: "The wildfire appears to be covering approximately 10 hectares and firefighters are fighting the fire using beaters and air powered equipment.
"There are multiple seats to this fire and it is believed that they have been started deliberately. We are currently working with Police to catch those people responsible."
Around 60 firefighters backed by two police helicopters are fighting the major blaze, quickly spread by 20 to 30 mile per hour winds.
They had to withdraw last night because of safety concerns over fading light but they were back out at 4.30am this morning.
Ten appliances from across East Lancashire were sent to tackle the blaze.
Ross Parry
Blackburn police inspector Abid Khan said the fires were "suspicious" and appeared to have been started deliberately with those responsible moving ahead of firefighters.
He said their 'Parrafin Parrot' drone from Greater Manchester Police – and a regulation police helicopter – were deployed to give reports on the progress of the fires.
The helicopter and drone were also trying to identify those responsible for starting them.
He said: "Anyone with any information on how these fires were started should contact the police.
Ross Parry
Three mountain rescue teams were also called in to assist the fire service and provide help if anyone was discovered to be at risk from the moorland fires.
Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service incident commander Jerry Cragg said "numerous individuals" were "spotted at the time remaining in a fire setting".
A Lancashire Fire an Rescue Service spokesman added: "We now have ten appliances from Blackurn, Darwen, Burnley, Haslingden, Rawtenstall and Haslingden as well as from Preston at the fire.
Ross Parry
"We are using beaters and special water sprays.
"A major concern has been whether the flame might jump Broadhead Road into a tree plantation with high winds but that risk seems to have diminished.
"We are concerned these fires may have been deliberately started with group of young people moving ahead of the firefighters to start new seats of fire.
"A police helicopter and the GMP drone are assisting us along with three mountain rescue teams.
"We hope to manage the fire overnight and start completing putting it out around 5am tomorrow."
Pumps from Blackburn and Darwen were rapidly supplemented with machines from nearby fire stations.
Last night's new grass fires followed warnings from the fire brigade about the risks of moorland fires.
Last Thursday, 30 firefighters tackled a "huge" moorland fire spanning 400 metres by 800 metres across Darwen Moor near to Darwen Tower.
On April 22 there was a similar fore near Whitehall Farm on the moors above the town.

Borders of Scotland. Harold John " Jack " Tennant, born 18 November 1865, died 9 November 1935, was a Scottish Liberal politician. He served as Secretary for Scotland under his brother-in-law H. H. Asquith between July and December 1916. Tennant was a younger son of Sir Charles Tennant, 1st Baronet, by his first wife Emma, daughter of Richard Winsloe. He was the brother of Edward Tennant, 1st Baron Glenconner and Margot Asquith, and hence the brother in law of H. H. Asquith, and the half brother of Baroness Elliot of Harwood. He was educated at Eton and at Trinity College, Cambridge, England. In 1894 he was elected Member of Parliament for Berwickshire. At the 1918 general election, the Berwickshire constituency was abolished, and Tennant contested the new Berwickshire and Haddingtonshire constituency. He faced two opponents: R. W. Foulis of the Labour Party, and the Haddingtonshire MP John Deans Hope. With two incumbent Liberal MPs contesting one seat, Hope's receipt of the coalition coupon secured his victory, with 54% of the votes. Tennant came a poor third, with only 16% of the votes. He also unsuccessfully contested Glasgow Central in 1923[8] but never returned to the House of Commons. He married factory inspector May Abraham in 1896. Tennant bought Great Maytham Hall, Rolvenden, Kent in 1910. He commissioned Edwin Lutyens to rebuild the hall at a cost of £24,000. Tennant died in November 1935, aged 70.

Thing is, I always use a ballpoint to write, but the stroke diagram is in some sort of computer brush, with big drops of ink to start and finish some lines. By ballpoint is completely different mechanics, and I never know how to write correctly. Please how to change the font? Thank you.

Alternative estimating and testing empirical strategies for fractional regression models
In many economic settings, the variable of interest is often a fraction or a proportion, being defined only on the unit interval. The bounded nature of such variables and, in some cases, the possibility of nontrivial probability mass accumulating at one or both boundaries raise some interesting estimation and inference issues. In this paper we: (i) provide a comprehensive survey of the main alternative models and estimation methods suitable to deal with fractional response variables; (ii) propose a full testing methodology to assess the validity of the assumptions required by each alternative estimator; and (iii) examine the finite sample properties of most of the estimators and tests discussed through an extensive Monte Carlo study. An application concerning corporate capital structure choices is also provided.

Malta: priest highlights cruel treatment of refugees
Malta's treatment of immigrants and asylum seekers is extremely poor and getting worse, according to reports from a number of human rights organisations. The situation has been highlighted this week by the case of a refugee detained in prison for 16 months after being accused of a crime that doctors say he could not have committed. Fr Mark Montebello OP, head of Mid-Dlam gad-Dawl, an NGO that works with prisoners and their families, reported the case of Ahmed Abubaker, a 19-year-old Somali man who was accused of rape in March 2007. Mr Abubaker (immigration number 04F002) was arrested near the Marsa Open Centre. Mr Abubaker has been wearing a catheter for about two years, which means he is physically incapable of raping anyone. This was recently re-affirmed by Dr Robert Marquet, a doctor from the Committee for the Prevention of Torture (CPT) who examined him. In spite of the doctor's evidence, the police prosecutors have failed to drop their accusations, and Abubaker is still in detention. Mr Abubaker's health has deteriorated in prison and he contracted a number of infections. Fr Montebello has accused local courts and the police of insensitivity, and called for his immediate release. Institutions including UNHCR, the Council of Europe and Amnesty international have all testified to the depressing, painful and degrading conditions in Malta's detention centres, where asylum seekers are jailed for up to 18 months. Once they are set free, immigrants have to face rampant semi-institutional and informal racism and discrimination.

Let's look at some of my favorite white farmhouse kitchens – and kitchens that have a touch of farmhouse in them – from bloggers around the web. Feel free to share your own favorites in the comments. As always, be sure to check out the original blog posts and images by clicking on the provided links.
Please pin individual images from their original sources (blogs). Thank you.
1. Farmhouse Kitchen Makeover Reveal by Love Grows Wild
I love the weathered look of her wood floors, the white subway tiles and the farmhouse lighting fixtures.
2. Our Copper Sink by Christinas Adventures
I've mentioned before about how much I love her organized wooden shelves in another post, but I think it's also worth noting how lovely her farmhouse kitchen is. I'm not normally one for black countertops, but they provide a nice contrast to the white tile and cabinets.
3. Industrial Farmhouse Kitchen by Cherished Bliss
I love how bright and cheery this kitchen is. The natural look of the countertops and kitchen island, the sea foam green-like color of the kitchen walls, and the subtle curtains are really quite lovely.
4. Modern Farmhouse Small Kitchen Remodel by Design, Dining + Diaper
I actually really like the modern farmhouse look here. The smokey gray countertops and the industrial farmhouse shelves for storage add a nice touch to her naturally bright kitchen.
5. Budgeting Tips for a Kitchen Renovation by Maison de Pax
All of the things that don't make this a "traditional" farmhouse kitchen are all of the things that I adore – like the beige kitchen tiles, the speckled gray countertops and even the shiny metal surface of the small kitchen cart.
6. How to Install Island Pendants by HoneyBear Lane
Who says that you have to have solid white subway tiles to have a beautiful farmhouse kitchen? I really like the mix-and-match look of the gray and white tiles and the industrial look of the light pendants and bar stools.
7. Adding vintage character to a new kitchen by A Bowl Full of Lemons
I really love the dark accents – the floors, the hanging farmhouse lights, the industrial bar stools and even the black wall clock on the left hand side.
8. Eclectic Vintage Modern Farmhouse by DIY Show Off
It's always nice to see a farmhouse kitchen that has that "lived in" look – it's much more comfortable and inviting. The beauty is really in the details with this kitchen – everything from the chalkboard above the stove to the cookbooks above the doorway. The worn, vintage appearance of the kitchen island adds to the overall appeal.
9. Farmhouse Kitchen Tour by Nest of Bliss/Brandi Sawyer
I really like the raised pattern on the ceiling, the vintage blue mason jar chandelier, and the huge rustic kitchen island.
10. The Kitchen Reveal by Shades of Blue Interior
This kitchen makes me want to replace all of my ceiling fans with one of these. Just looking at it takes me back in time!
11. Home Tour – House by Hoff
The details are really what adds a farmhouse touch to this kitchen. Just look at the glass globe pendants, the galvanized tiered stand, and the metal stool at the end of the kitchen island.
12. Spring Home Tour by Tidbits
The use of pastels in this kitchen really work to make it a cheery setting. I like the mixed use of shelves – the solid white shelves on the left and the more rustic looking shelves on the right.
13. House Tour – The Lilypad Cottage
I adore the black bar above the stove for hanging storage, as well as the vintage pie sign.
What are your favorite white farmhouse kitchens? What makes them your favorite?

The undead, brain eaters, walkers, sleep, the brainy bunch. These are just a few of the names that we give to one of favorite flash game genres for the Zombies! The lifeless corpses that have been resurrected to chew on the flesh of our human soles for the rest of eternity!
The name of the game is Zombie Tower Defense 5 and it does exactly what it says on the tin. Developed by Android this is a tower defense real time strategy game where you will be attacked by wave after wave of oncoming zombies and it's your job to fight them off in an attempt to save the world from a zombie apocalypse.
Like most tower defense games it the strategy on the battlefield that will play a massive part in your success. You must place your towers well, upgrade them and keep your fighters well equipped to deal with the onslaught.
In each level there will be a set amount of zombie wave that will attack you. With each wave the zombies will become more resilient to your defenses so you will have to inflict more damage to defeat them. And with each level the amount of zombie wave will increase, this will make it extremely hard quite quickly so keep your upgrades coming.
At the start of each level you will be set a certain amount of cash that you can spend and you must allocate where your defenses will be. There is a quick tutorial at the beginning to show you the ropes on how to move, find supply crates and make purchases. Each time you kill a zombie you will earn some cash and its best to spend that by recruiting more soldiers and more ammo. It's essential to spend your money wisely and at the right time.
Once the game gets into full swing you will find yourself immersed in its dark and gloomy graphics that really ad to the deadly nature of the game. Try all the games in the series as we are sure you will love them all!

SHOCK VID: Argentinian footballer shot dead defending family from robber
A TOP professional footballer has been shot dead while defending his family in a botched robbery attempt.
Argentine Rodrigo Espindola was shot in the stomach and succumbed to his injuries in hospital.
In disturbing CCTV footage, suspects can be seen steering an escort-style car into a garage.
Espindola can be seen peering into the garage with his young son but then hauls the boy into his arms before running away in a flash.
The 26-year-old later collapses to the ground outside the home in Monte Grande, Buenos Aires.
The central defender played for Chacarita Juniors and Racing Club before his latest spell at Primera B Nacional side Nueva Chicago.
Chicago's vice-president Daniel Ferreiro said on Twitter in the early hours of Friday morning: "From the soul I regret to report that our player Rodrigo Espindola died moments ago.
"Nueva Chicago, through its Board of Directors, is available to family and adds to the demand for justice and for the clarification of the facts.
"There is nothing to justify the loss of life of a young man with all the future ahead. We requested a prayer in his memory."
He also leaves behind his wife.
The tragedy follows an Argentinian footballer shooting a referee dead after being sent off.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon origin. It was name for a holy man who was a priest or friar. The surname Holmyn originally derived from the Old English word Hol or Hool. Another reference claims the name was derived from the Old English words "holh" + "mann" and literally meant "dweller by a hollow." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Families began migrating abroad in enormous numbers because of the political and religious discontent in England. Often faced with persecution and starvation in England, the possibilities of the New World attracted many English people. Although the ocean trips took many lives, those who did get to North America were instrumental in building the necessary groundwork for what would become powerful new nations. Among early immigrants of the Holmyn surname to cross the Atlantic and come to North America were: John Holman, who settled in Nantasket Massachusetts in 1630; William Holman settled in Cambridge Mass in 1630; Edward Holman settled in Boston in 1632.

Wow Rayyan, this one might be your best so far. Or close.
Incredible light delicacy, use of negative space, juxtaposition of tranparencies, textures and colors... all combined to convey a feel of multi layered dimensionnality (did i just make that up?) to the beholder.
Subject is great, details unique.
Really, and simply put: great photography.
Steen, masterful use of the WA and semi long exposures. The relative sense of space and movement is awesome, with perfect light and crisp color temp settings.
Great variety though subtle across the series, displaying solid consistency altogether.
Good job!
Fantastic photos, Steen
Is that Lousiana?
Have to agree with Corlan here; absolutely one of your best. Fantastic colours, composition and depth.
Sometimes I think: If I don't take a photo now, I might as well sell my camera and start collecting stamps instead.

Corlan, Jorgen, Lloyd, Matt..I am at a loss for words. Honestly. Humbled and honored.
Thank you very much for your encouragement.
Kindest regards.
Got real seasons too, but certainly not this kind of dramatic skies for a long time. Dullest boringest overcast for months here
Allows for more interesting, and "Market Place style", framing than the beach.
Good one, Matt
Steen, Magnificent Series! Every One!
Rayyan, Agree With Corlan....Tremendous!
Jorgen, More Lovely Faces!
Matt, Love The Processing & People!!!
Tim, Beautiful Sky's & Landscapes!

Rich, beautiful colors, and movement, Pete.
I'm partial to the first three and even the first two for their great dynamic.
The second one would me my favorite, perfect light, action and harmony... though i'd try and crop its right hand part into (something like) a 3*4 format. The added focus would make it, by all means, a definite wall hanger.
Just a thought
Rayyan, your photo of the woman with the incense sticks is absolutely gorgeous
And Jorgen, your cheerleader shots are fabulous, so three dimensional and with such sparkling colors - excellent captures and post processing
And Tim, you really make your new D700 & Zeiss Makro-Planar 2/100mm ZF sing, beautiful captures of the wild sky and the winter forest, enjoy the new rig
Matt, love your shots of the Waikiki shopping rush, they are priceless, and your black and white processing is excellent
And Petetsai, wow, just wow to your stunning dancing series
Lots of kudos to all ...
Arken itself, on the other hand, is a very ugly building seen from outside, but of course it's the content that matters.
Thank you for your kind words about my little Exhibition series, Rayyan, Corlan, Jorgen, Tim, Matt, Steve, and Lloyd.
Missed the stamped zipped cheerleaders on last visit... cute indeed, and fun!
Thanks all! It was just a fun event I went to with friends so I shot it like an event just for practice.
Corlan F. ~ Thanks and cool idea on a different crop, I think it would be better cropped as well.

We all knew that Obama's true colors would be revealed to all if he won re-election. With Obama's pugnacious attitude at Wednesday's press conference - even with almost complete complicity from a fawning White House press corps - he has proven the predictions true. Fasten your seat belts folks, the nest four years are going to be a bumpy ride!
I expect der 0berFuhrer Emperor Hussein 0bama to rule by edict - Executive Order, pretty much exclusively. That is the definition of a dictator. The courts won't stop him because the dims have been successful in placing their cronies - crooked judges - in place all the way up to the SCOTUS, and congress won't do anything. Boehner bent over and grabbed his ankles the day after the election and told Hussein he could have his way and McConnell asked how high Hussein wanted him to jump.
What's to stop him? Who? In our system we elect a King George for 4 yours of almost no restraint and no checks, protected by the fawning press and violent mobs of supporters, and the likes of perfessor Ayers have figured out how to play it, use it and abuse it to the max. Just watch what happens the next 4 yours, just watch!
When does this god-forsaken election get certified? Any chance for a miracle before then? This man is an abomination.
A combination of massive fraud and idiocracy "reelected " this nitwit fraud. Hold on...it isn't going to be pretty no matter what.

"The effect that Wheelz has on the crowd is out of this world. I mean, we have the best in the world of action sports, and more people come to see Wheelz than anybody else." (Travis Pastrana, X Games gold medalist and Nitro Circus organizer, leader and performer)
Many people succeed in spite of great challenges. Aaron "Wheelz" Fotheringham is not one of those people. When asked by ESPN, "How do you define spina bifida?" Aaron responded, "A great opportunity." Consumed by the simple but logical belief that riding is more fun than walking, Aaron took his wheelchair and turned it into a toy, playing and practicing on it until there was no place he couldn't go. After beating his peers in all the BMX competitions he could enter, Aaron became the unicorn of the Nitro Circus team, the ultimate dream of every BMX rider and skateboarder alike. Aaron's biography so far includes pain, determination, failure, motivation, and unimagined success. And yet these things are incidental to the real story. What makes his story great is that his attitude is contagious, and Wheelz is anything but quarantined.

What a inspiring book to listen to on a long trip, which is what we did. The adventures and journey of this amazing young man was life fulfilling. No matter what life deals you in the way of obstacles and trials this book can help you deal with it. Love the attitude Aaron, you go and conquer the world. The narration was suburb, and easy to listen on a long trip, kudos to all involved with this project.
"Inspiring and Very Entertaining"
Yes! It makes me realize that everyone has tough things that they have to get through in life but if we don't limit ourselves we can succeed far beyond what we imagined possible.
I loved how the author broke it down and made the story real. This is not some perfect kid who was born with super human powers. This is the story about a kid who had what most people would consider the world stacked against him and who refused to be pushed down. He pushed against the world's boundaries with hours of sweat, blood, and tears to earn every inch of success he received.
Bruce Hansen brought the story to life for me. The emotion he is able to communicate through voice, tone and inflection, helped me to feel like I was there in the crowd watching Aaron chanting, "Wheelz, Wheelz, Wheelz... "
"Wheelz is a fighter that can't be held back!"
Thank you for sharing this empowering story! I will recommend it to anyone looking for a good read.
"Inspiring Life's Lessons"
The obvious lesson from this book is that a young man has inspired us to realize we can accomplish things that to others seem impossible. Aaron's indomitable spirit and courage have changed and will change many lives. I normally don't read a lot or listen to many books other than technical ones but this book was very interesting to me and most of it flowed very quickly. It is much more than a book about wheelchair stunts. It was intriguing to understand how the spirit in this young man opened unchartered territory and changed the world. It is also a great story about how a mother and father allowed their young boy to follow his dreams, supporting him in unimagined ways and letting go of their own fears and not trying to micro-manage the never before traveled journey of their son. I could knit pick some of the flow of the book or some of the expression in this audio version but the story is real and is powerful and interesting.

Re: Important for Bizzy Bone...Please view...this is not another fan letter
Posted by: Patrick on
Tuesday 04/10/07
Dear Bizzy,
I'm going to get past all of the fan appreciation stuff that I could tell you about. There is just something much more urgent and powerful that I've felt inside. Just like you I have taken a different path in life. At the end of my junior year in high school, I asked myself who I am and why I am here. On my journey thus far, I have come to realize and remember many things about life. When I heard that you were taking a similar path, it touched my heart to know that I could listen to conscious music from one of my favorite artists. I was amazed and knew at that very second in time that we would be working together someday. As my plans for college are to study music business and entrepreneurship, I envision that we will work together to create a difference in our world. It would be through The Universal Flag; our symbol of Peace, dedicated to spreading the Truths of who we are.
My father, Brian McClure, created The Universal Flag on 9/11 of 2001, as a symbol of Peace recognizing our Interdependence and Oneness with all. Spirit/Universal Consciousness woke Brian up in the middle of the night for 3 years, asking him to make a Universal Flag. Every time he would ignore the calling, seeing as Dr. Wayne Dyer or Oprah Winfrey was much more qualified for the job. Before anyone knew it, September 11 then shook the world. My father was in the dentist office a few days after, and the hygienist ravaged about how America needed to bomb Afghanistan. My father said, "Wait a minute. Now surely you recognize that they are a part of us. If I were born and raised in the Taliban, I would have been the first in line to attack my enemies.†Other employees gathered in the discussion and retaliated in fear towards Brian. He walked out that day understanding that no one has ever created a universal symbol that ties us all together as One, and that no one was going to make it. The Flag represents the truths of who we are: We are One with All, We are Divine Presence, We are Truth, We are Eternal, We are Interdependent on All.
So far, the Flag has spread in 60 countries and 250 locations through Earth Dance. He has talked everywhere from Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith's (The Secret)-Agape International Spiritual Center, to the United Nations in New York. He has been on countless radio stations and our grass root work has really taken us a long way in the past few months. Good Morning America, Ellen Degenerous, Montell Williams, and many more stations are also looking at having Brian on their show to help spread our world's message and calling. The time is now that we must make a change. Our world has come to a point where the old paradigms need to end. The future of this world depends on how much we are willing to see, and it depends on US. We are the Universe; we are the creators of this world and our very own lives. What we believe, is what we create. Collectively, it makes up our world.
I just want to tell you that I know everyone and everything is here to be of service to others. Thank you so much for the gifts that YOU bring to OUR world. There are so many possibilities and so many roads one can take, but we are all here for a special purpose. I know you have done so much Bizzy, but I really want you and Flesh to take a look at www.universalflag.com I feel in my heart that this is a huge part of your mission. You are here with your gifts, talents, and spirit that you are to touch many souls and help our world to become a better place. What does anything else matter anyway? It is not what we do or how much we have, it is how much we give and how we did things/ how we lived our life that matters in the end. This is not my father's Flag; he was just the facilitator for it to come through him. This is OUR flag, and together, we can make a huge difference in our world. It is not the numbers that matter of our birth and death; it is the dash in the middle that tells the entire story. As a follower of spiritual guidance, I recognize and intuitively feel that you are going to be a part of this. If this was not supposed to be a possibility or reality, I would not have even thought to ask you or tell you about YOUR symbol. How do you want to leave this world? You don't take cars or any of the material things with you, and you already know that. You don't take your body with you, and you already know that. The only thing you ever take is the love you give, and the love in which you received. You are loved every second of everyday Bizzy. I am looking forward to talking with you soon.

Replacement sliding door bottom rollers from a Technal door
A handy person from St. Augustine, FL says:
October 10, 2014
I have a 2004 Lagoon Catamaran. These are French built boats, which have a huge number of boats currently around the world. And many of us are having problems with the sliding doors on them. They seem to have a unique roller mechanism. And they are apparently made by "Technal". Does anyone have a good source for replacing these bottom rollers? And we could also use additional parts, such as track.
Thanks in advance for any support! John

Good afternoon, thank you for contacting us. We may not have the entire roller, as boat hardware is a bit tricky, but maybe you can just replace the wheels. See our 81-234 and let me know what you think. As for the track, look at our 80-102 track cover. Perhaps you can install this over the track if it's particularly worn down. See the video below for more information.

MICHAEL KEATON To Produce & Star In IMAGINE AGENTS Feature Film
Imagine AgentsCredit: BOOM! Studios
BOOM! Studios has announced that Academy Award nominated actor Michael Keaton has signed on to produce and star in an adaptation of Imagine Agents by Brian Joines and Bachan.
Imagine Agents tells the story of two agents of I.M.A.G.I.N.E., a group that polices imaginary friends of children.
"Imagine Agents has been the most rewarding project I've worked on and the fact it's going to be a movie with Michael Keaton, whose work had a huge impact on my teenaged years and indirectly played a role in my decision to become a writer, is just a mind-blowing continuation of that reward," said Joines.
Keaton will co-produce with BOOM! founder and CEO Ross Richie. No release date has been announced.

F&C, which was put up for sale at the end of January last year, said moving out of an offer period would help the company win more new business as the pending disposal accounted for £2bn in lost contracts.
Friends Provident
Friends Provident will now distribute its stake in F&C to shareholders by the middle of this year, while renegotiating its long-term contract with the fund manager.
Trevor Matthews, chief executive of Friends Provident, said the insurance company remained pleased with the investment performance of F&C and was considering whether to extend current contract terms.
F&C saw its assets under management drop 5pc to £99bn and revenues fall 13pc to £229.9m last year as the market turmoil and offer period took its toll on the business.
Its pre-tax profits swung into red, following an impairment charge of £48.3m on the value of management contracts from the acquisitions of Isis Asset Management five years ago and RSAI Investments seven years ago. It also took a £12.3m hit on open forward currency contracts.
But shares in the company rose 1, or 1.6pc, to 63p, on the news that the sale had been abandoned. There had been fears that Friends Provident investors could dump their new shares on to the market in a short space of time.
Alain Grisay, F&C chief executive, said the fund manager was now on the lookout for "sizeable" acquisitions while the financial crisis continues, despite little hope for market recovery over the next year.
"Should the markets fall more and remain low, that would be a major threat to the whole industry," he said. "But we are continuing with our strategy of the last three years, which is remaining diversified."
The fund manager is close to an agreement on establishing a joint venture company in China with Hua Xia Bank and it also plans to enter the Middle East, working with BMB Islamic Bank to launch F&C's first Shariah-compliant funds.
The proposed final dividend is 4p, taking the year total to 6p – unchanged from 2007.

Meet Cooper
He's doing very good at home. We have taken him to the vet and they said he is in great shape. He got his heartworm and flea and tick meds. We have also started obedience training and we are taking him to socialize with other dogs during his many walks around our neighborhood. We got his dog license last week, and he loves to go to dog parks and play with balls and other dogs!
We are very blessed to have him as a new member of our family. He has been working on obedience around the house and he sleeps with us at night. We walk him with a gentle leader leash and can follow commands as far as sit, stay, place etc. he is smart, a quick and eager student and has a great disposition.
Cooper loves his new family. We couldn't be happier with him.

We are so happy to have Jack/Najee in our lives! He is just the perfect kitten, playful and curious, affectionate and cuddly, and sometimes just a little bit of a nag (especially around meal time). He loves playing chase with Hunter and climbing his cat tree to find treats or toys, but when he's all tired out he is such a little cuddle bug! He has his own pillow on the bed, but somehow always manages to take over mine as well. Thank you so much to LDCR for all that you do and for connecting us with our sweet Jack.

Akela, whom we have renamed Luna, is absolutely adorable. We call her
our little Luna-bug and she is such a sweetheart! One of the things we
were nervous about was introducing her to our other fur-baby, Munchie,
but we were worried for no reason. Both are getting along great and
are very playful!
We took Luna in to our vet (Merrifield Animal Hospital) the day after
we adopted her, as we didn't want to risk introducing her to Munchie
if she had an illness. She was given a clean bill of health and we did
a second follow up two weeks after that. We have a wonderful
relationship with our vet and they adore our kitties (we like to think
they like them the best 😉 ).
Attached are just few of the million pictures we have taken of/with
her that we thought you would enjoy!

April (now Peyton) is doing great! She loves to go running with us, trips to the dog park, and just started school. Everyone is in love with her! All the kids say hi to her at the bus stop.
Thanks for your service!

Nougat (aka Bubs, Bubba, Bubsy) is one happy pup! He has settled in to his new home and role as little-brother to our cat, Asha. Really, they are the same age, but let's be honest… Asha runs the house. He enjoys his morning and evening walks where he gets to smell all of the smells and see all of the sights! Nougat enjoys going on weekend road-trips with Mom and Dad and getting loved on by all of his extended family. Recently, Nougat began going to doggy daycare where he has made so many new friends! When he is not busy going on new adventures, he enjoys a good cuddle-sesh on the couch with Mom and Dad. At the end of the day, all he is just a big ol' lovebug.
Ps.. you can follow him along on all his adventures by looking up #NougatTheBully on Instagram

Maddie is doing awesome! She is currently sitting on my lap being loved lol she went to the vet all up to date on shots and health is great! We love her so much thank you! Attached are photos ! First night we got her and now!!

We renamed Lee, he is now Tucker and he is doing GREAT! He struggles a little with potty training but he's coming along. He loves his big sis and she loves him right back. Thank you for adding Tuck to our lives. He's a lovable feisty little guy with a bit of spunk and laziness all wrapped up together like a furry little present. We adore him. He goes again on Friday for a checkup. He's already almost 23 lbs, and the vet thinks he'll be about 80lbs

Well, Vilma is now Arya Bark (a play on the Game of Thrones character Arya Stark). She had her 2nd checkup on Sunday with a rabies shot, so she is all caught up with shots now. She has grown from 13 lbs to 20, and we're all wondering how big she'll end up. She's devastatingly cute and really smart. She definitely gets into mischief whenever she can – loves chewing up newspapers, for example. She didn't love her crate the first few days, but has fully adjusted and happily goes in there when she needs down time. Our 5 year old golden doodle seemed completely unimpressed with her initially, but they now play together all the time, and it's clear they'll be forever friends. House training her is still underway. Two days without an accident was great, but this morning, she had scampered upstairs unattended, and I stepped in something ugly on my bathroom floor later. Alas, life with a puppy!
She wears her LDRF tag, along with one with her name and our phone number, and now her rabies tag. Thanks for checking in – we love her!

Miss Print Wallpaper—
MissPrint aims to produce beautifully designed, contemporary wall-coverings, fabrics and interior accessories, all originating from hand drawn illustrations. We are a growing family business, and we work from our new countryside studio, bordering East London.
We love making patterns and designs, developing new ideas and seeing them grow into designs is so exciting. Nature has a big influence on our work; a simple leaf or flower has so many beautiful qualities of line, shape, colour and texture. We also love mid century and Scandinavian design which is marked by its simplicity, clean lines and organic forms.
We believe ecological issues are important, and that our work should have as little negative impact on the environment as possible; therefore all our products are produced in the most ecologically friendly way. Our entire wallpaper range is PEFC certified which means that the paper products used promote the sustainable management of forests. The wallpapers are also printed with organic pigment inks, which are non-toxic, free of heavy metals and classed as non-carcinogenic.
All MissPrint products are made in UK. We try our utmost to support our local community and strongly believe in supporting the British manufacturing industry.

Discussion in 'Disney Resorts' started by DisneyBliss7, Mar 26, 2013.
I rented points from a DVC member. Is there a way I can check online to see the reservation?
We are also renting points and I can see the reservation on the Disney web site. I logged in to our Disney account and under the "My Disney Experience" tab on the top right of the page, I was able to link the reservation using the "My Reservations" link. You will need the 12 digit Disney confirmation number to do that. Give it a shot and good luck!
When I booked using David's, they sent me this link to check my reservation using the confirmation number: DVC My Disney Reservation
I was also able to add the reservation to My Disney Experience online. Now it shows up just like my Disney-booked POP stay and my ADRs.
Thanks I just went and checked and it's there! So excited!!
I was trying to link it using the app and thru the website, it wasn't working but I kept trying and it finally did.
Just keep swimming....

The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources has another tool to fight small but dangerous creatures.
A new law allows law enforcement-officers to inspect and detain vehicles and boats that may be infested with quagga mussels or zebra mussels. The Legislature approved more than $2 million to implement a program that began in 2007.
"This gives us more teeth to actually encounter boats. That's the big deal, that's given us the bite behind the bark," said Evan Freeman, a state invasive-species biologist.
Officers will be at major water bodies and checkpoints, asking questions and spraying boats with extremely hot water, if necessary.
"The big problem with quaggas are people can ship them and transport them and they are so small you wouldn't know if they were there," said Mike Fowlks, the DWR's chief of law enforcement.
"A year ago, if we saw a boat traveling down the road and we expected it had been to a place infested with mussels, we couldn't stop a boat unless there was actually quagga mussels seen," he said.
Under the new law, officers with reasonable suspicion can stop anyone and have the boat decontaminated. Boats from California, Colorado and Nevada places that have the mussels frequently visit Utah.
According to a survey at quagga-infested Lake Mead in Nevada, boaters ranked Utah's Jordanelle Reservoir, Bear Lake and Willard Bay among their top 20 places to visit, Freeman said.
The mussels attach themselves to boat hulls, motors and water-system intakes. They plug pumps, pipes and outboard motors. They have no natural predators and reproduce rapidly, creating layers of shells.2 comments on this story
The mussels filter water and consume plankton, which can destroy fish populations. In one of the Great Lakes, Lake Erie, mussels can filter the entire lake in 36 hours, Freeman said.
"They're incredibly dangerous. ... It totally alters the food chain," he said.
The creatures can live up to 18 days out of the water and can be transported alive. A single breeding pair can lead to a huge colony.
The experts said anyone who uses lakes or reservoirs for recreation, irrigation or drinking water should be concerned.
"We're not looking to prosecute people just decontaminating their boats and getting them on their way," Fowlks said.

Amazon (AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos has a history of getting big trends right and executing well. His investment in Internet streaming and transport logistics are big ideas. Now he's ready to execute.
Executing big ideas at scale is not easy. When Netflix (NFLX) came to Amazon Web Services to host its video-streaming business as a paid subscription service, it had never been done before. Getting it right at scale in the marketplace took time, money and a lot of trial and error.
When Bezos later launched a competing service, Amazon Prime Video, he had the luxury of fiddling with the details inside the house account. Initially, he offered streaming as an add-on to the company's popular Prime shopping and fulfillment service.
Bezos took the same approach with logistics. For a flat rate, Amazon Prime subscribers got two-day shipping. As the service grew, the company made strategic investments and fiddled with details based on feedback from Prime customers. And that is Bezos' secret: He builds services for Amazon using its scale, perfects them based on results, then offers the refined products to others.
There is good precedent. Web Services is the intricate network of data centers strung all over the globe. It began as the necessary technical backbone of the Amazon online store. Later, Bezos would offer it as a standalone product. Now it is on track to do $10 billion in sales and is throwing off more than $500 million a quarter in profits.
Fulfillment by Amazon follows that template. It's a business-to-business service that provides warehousing, fulfillment and customer service to small businesses. FBA takes all of the services Amazon perfected for its own store and offers them to smaller enterprises looking to scale up.
And leasing 20 wide-body cargo jets, starting an overseas container-shipping business and working on autonomous delivery vehicles and aerial drones are all part of a bigger plan. It's a fully formed small-business logistics service inside Amazon with big ambitions. That should worry FedEx (FDX) and United Parcel Service (UPS).
|Amazon has secured a fleet of cargo jets that are on course to make the retailer FedEx's worst nightmare.
Last year, Amazon purchased Twitch, an online video-streaming site for gamers. While the nearly $1 billion price tag raised eyebrows, Amazon has quietly doubled the size of the business to more than 100 million monthly users. And it is expanding the appeal with Cooking and other how-to channels.
You don't have to squint to see what Amazon is up to. It's a critical piece of a new-era streaming network that dovetails nicely with Amazon's plan to split Prime Video from the standard Prime membership. For $8.99 per month buyers get a polished service with an impressive library of licensed and original content. The addition of live channels from Twitch adds a new dimension and makes it a formidable competitor to the much larger Netflix.
Bezos has a penchant for fostering new businesses inside Amazon and for growing shareholder value. Piper Jaffrey analyst Gene Munster writes: "Twitch could be worth $5 billion to $20 billion in five years."
Amazon shares may consolidate their recent gains, but any substantial weakness in coming months should be seen as a buying opportunity. Bezos is, incredibly, just getting started.
The K-Wave is Coming to Wall Street
It will wipe out the lifesavings of millions of investors. But most people can't even see it coming. It's called "The K Wave" or "The Long Wave." Whether you are totally wiped out by it — or whether you ride the "crest" of this wave to a level of wealth you never dreamed possible — depends entirely on what you decide to do today. Click here to see how you could multiply your money by 300% … 400% … even 500% if you "surf" the K Wave safely into shore. -Larry Edelson

*Alphabet (GOOGL) is slowly breaking corporate ties with Uber. It's resigning a board seat and launching a ride-sharing mobile application built on its Waze crowdsourcing technology. This looks a lot like Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOGL) parting ways over mobile back in the days before Android…
*Private company Dell is going to bet big on the private cloud. It wants big corporations to eschew the public cloud dominated by Amazon Web Services and Microsoft (MSFT) and build their own with Dell gear. Good luck with that strategy…
*This is what you should expect at the Apple (AAPL) September 7 product launch – besides an iPhone without a headphone jack, look for revamped Macs and upgraded iPads…
*A Tesla (TSLA) owner put 100,000 miles on his car in a year in a test of durability and operational costs. Spoiler alert, Teslas run well and efficiently versus gas burners…

Toon Talk: Tangled Blu-ray
Page 1 of 2
by Kirby C. Holt
Disney Blu-Ray
Let Down Your Hair
Sometimes a story needs to be heard more than once in order to be fully appreciated. Such is the case for me with Tangled, the recent box office hit making its Disney DVD and Blu-ray debuts this week.
As told in my original Toon Talk review of Tangled upon its theatrical release last November, I admitted to being disappointed with the film. And while Tangled�s faults -- such as its formulaic plot, non-distinctive songs and overall sense of �safeness� -- are still present, my second viewing was a more rewarding one. Perhaps it was because my expectations were lowered following my first viewing, or maybe Tangled�s charms just need to grow on me, but I found it more clever and romantic, not to mention funnier, the second time around.
And the extra details more visible in high definition don�t hurt either. From Rapunzel�s whimsical wall paintings to the realistic flow of her lavender dress, every nuance of design is captured in crisp detail. I also appreciated more the designs of the human characters, so soft and alive as compared to the often-stiff humanoids on view in most computer animation. On the other hand, I did notice some drawbacks in the film as seen in high def, specifically Rapunzel�s voluminous hair; in some wide shots, it more resembled stretched taffy than human hair. Her chameleon sidekick Pascal also sticks out like a sore (green) thumb in some sequences.
TANGLED: The Awards
The actual story of the making of Tangled -- including the film�s original director, legendary animator Glen Keane, having to step down due to health issues -- is as, well, tangled as our heroine�s tresses. But you won�t hear anything about that in the Blu-ray bonus feature �Untangled: The Making of a Fairy Tale�. Hosted by the film�s young stars Mandy Moore (the voice of Rapunzel) and Zachary Levi (Flynn Rider), this is 12 minutes of pure Disney Channel fluff. Nevertheless, you do get glimpses of such behind-the-scenes goodies as concept art on the various hunky Flynns and spooky Mother Gothels that were considered during the conception phase, plus some amusing �hair bloopers�. Also included is a lot of Tangled trivia, such as how many lanterns are in the �I See the Light� scene and what sequence set a Disney record.

'ÄúI AM CARIB, I AM ARAWAK, I AM AFRICAN AND I AM A GARIFUNA.'Ä?
When someone says,'ÄúI am a Garifuna,'Ä? that person is acknowledging the fact that she/he has Carib, Arawak and African blood pumping from their heart and through their veins. Because, the Garifuna Nation is a hybrid race which included the Carib and Arawak Nations of South America and the Caribbean, and the West Africans from Mali. Over a period of time, every aspect of the Garifuna Nation-i.e. Language, Music, Customs, Diet and Divination- was affected by these three nations. After reading many books about the Caribs, Arawaks and Africans, European Scholars consistently and deliberately regurgitated the myth that Caribs were savages, and that the Africans were ignorant. Therefore the main reason this report was written was to make correction to the European Myth, and to set the record straight once and for all. As a living Descendant of Carib Ancestry, I will write and proclaim the glorious achievement of my progenitors. On that note, lets talk about the Caribs. Who are these People? From where did they came?
'ÄúI AM CARIB, I AM ARAWAK, I AM AFRICAN, I AM A GARIFUNA.'Ä?
The Caribs and Arawaks were inhabitants of the Amazon Basin in South America, which is located at the northeastern region of Guyana. These two nations share similar characteristics, which includes: red
/yellow complexion, 5 feet 4inches in height, medium built, straight hair and hazel/gray eyes. The Caribs and Arawaks were Farmers and Fishermen, who lived in harmony and peace with each other. One of the main differences between these two nations was their Language. For example, the mother would tell her son higabunu, which means come here. While the father would say ahuye, which also means come here. This difference in the language between the male and female Garifuna is very much evident in any Garifuna community today. These people invented the hammocks and the Bar-b- cue grill. There are artifacts that were excavated in Grenada, St. Vincent and other Caribbean Islands, which proved beyond a doubt how resourceful and brilliant these Nations were, contrary to what was written about them from an outsider's perspective.
'ÄúI AM CARIB, I AM ARAWAK, I AM AFRICAN, AND I AM A GARIFUNA.'Ä?
In the early 1300s, the Mali Empire was the leading country in technology. King Abubakari, brother of Mansa Musa the emperor, ventured on a journey to expand trade and commerce with other countries. With over two thousand sailors, Abubakari sailed away with ships laden with precious stones, gold, fruits, plants and agricultural tools. During the journey, these brave sailors separated and drifted apart. As a result they landed in the Americas and the Caribbean. Take note, that this great African accomplishment took place before Columbus accidentally landed in the Caribbean august 12th, 1492. The Africans came in peace, sharing their knowledge with the red Caribs and Arawaks. The Africans who eventually remained in the Caribbean intermarried into the Caribs and Arawaks. Since the Africans have different characteristics from that of their hosts, their offspring were dark in complexion, had coarse hair, a slender build and an average of 5 feet 9 inches in height. Eventually, these new offspring would become known as the Black Caribs or the Garifuna People. From the heart and soul of James Lovell.
