The artificial cables all around us create a more dark and cold environment. The Leaf tie takes the cables and wraps the cables while bringing life to a dull area. It serves the dual purpose of design and efficiency.
The Leaf tie is easy to use. It is simply used in the same manner as the cable-tie. All you have to do is wrap the Leaf Tie around the loose cables. The design of the Leaf tie makes the cables look like wrapped twigs. For young children or people that live in the city that tire from the artificially modern environment, the Leaf tie can for a short while let them experience a hint of nature.
The profits made from this product are used to benefit causes for ecology campaign.

My rose gold raw emerald custom designed ring by Jewelry Designer Melissa Tyson
You know when you meet someone for the first time and you just instinctively like them? I mean, genuinely LIKE them as in wanting them to be a part of your girl tribe, like STAT. That's how it is when you meet local metalsmith and jewelry designer Melissa Tyson. With her warm, inviting smile, quick laugh, vivacious curly dark mane and one of her raw, sculptural rings on her well-manicured fingers, you'll quickly find that Melissa is just as friendly and effervescent as she is talented.
Having a lifelong affinity for butterflies, I was originally drawn to Melissa's early work shortly after I moved to Wilmington in 2005 – a single butterfly wing encapsalated in resin dangling from a silver chain in a jewelry case at Edge of Urge.
I next admired her work at jewelry designer Mitzy Jonkheer's studio a few years ago, but did not recognize it was Melissa's craftsmanship at first glance. Every raw stone rose gold ring or sculptural necklace I admired among a variety of featured artists, Mitzy would say, "That's Melissa's too."
Melissa said in a recent feature on Etsy: "Craftsmanship is about excellence, but not perfection; by leaving small marks of the work-process of forming, forging and soldering, the handmade quality of crafting remains visible. A reminder that our human flaws and imperfections are engulfed with beauty, yet real."
More recently, I took to perusing her latest arrivals at Ziabird, oohing and ahhing with the shop gals. But it was not until this past year that I finally met this incredible talent – in the flesh – at a pop-up event. We clicked immediately and she made plans to attend my next Sip + Shop at Style Girl Vintage. From there, plans began to take shape for a collaboration and my very own custom designed Melissa Tyson ring!
I wanted to not only introduce you to Melissa but to share with you this incredible hands-on custom design experience.
As a stylist, I so often have a definitive idea of what I like and what I want so I found it incredibly liberating to communicate an element of this to someone who could take this vision to a new level.
I interviewed Melissa while she was away with 30 (no, that is not a typo) of her closest family members at a beach house on Topsail Island. She tried making her escape but her littlest one kept close tabs, often interrupting to let her know he was ready for a change of scenery. She remained as cheerful and positive as ever amongst the chaos. Please listen in our conversation below:
ff: What brought you to Wilmington after getting your BFA in metal design from East Carolina University?
"I grew up in Durham. I came to Wilmington after college because a couple of girlfriends from college opened up a jewelry boutique in Wilmington called Bijoux (formerly at Plaza East). Stephanie Hogan, Mitzy Jonkheer, Martha Taft, Michelle Schitta, Will Olney and Paula and I decided to have a collaborative studio space. The studio was inside the store so customers could watch us work."
ff: When did you set out as an entrepreneur, as your own boss, creating your art full-time? Was this a leap of faith for you? Can you share some insight for artists looking to make that leap?
"It was a HUGE leap of faith. When I graduated college, I had three jobs. I waited tables, made jewelry and was a teacher for a special needs child. I wasn't making enough money to justify doing jewelry full-time. It took about three years to get to that place. I went full-time with my jewelry in 2001.
It's always important to do what you're passionate about, but don't quit your day job until you've built your clientale and it becomes self-sustaining. If you don't, you could grow to resent what you once loved. Keep doing your work because you love it, do the shows, stay in the community. When your sales show it's working, then it's time to make the leap."
ff: Where can folks find your jewelry locally?
Cameron Art Museum, Ziabird, Edge of Urge
ff: Where do you source recycled metals and conflict-free stones?
"I try to recycle as much as I can myself in-house. I have been working with an incredible eco-friendly company for 20 years who specializes in recyled metals and conflict-free stones."
ff: Who is your favorite jewelry designer?
"I've been the most inspired by Tom Reed, who has a similar aesthetic to what I love – organic and raw. I've enjoyed following his journey."
ff: Do you have a favorite piece of jewelry growing up that influenced you in wanting to create your own (love the story on Etsy about you creating wire bracelets and selling them at the pool!)
"My grandparents lived all over the world and my grandfather bought this ruby gold domed ring from Indonesia for my mom. I pretty much confiscated it from my mom's jewelry box and wore it from high school on. It was and still is one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever seen. This piece was formative in my love for ancient Middle Eastern jewelry because you can really see the workmanship in these pieces. I've always strived for that in my design process."
Look I styled from Melissa's closet (to wear to a Style Girl Vintage Sip + Shop) featuring her grandmother's vintage dress and a necklace Melissa designed. As a final touch, I added her grandmother's clip-on daisy earrings to the lapels.
ff: I know you have only been selling your jewelry on Etsy for a few years, but how has your business evolved there?
"Up until I launched my Etsy shop three years ago, I was mostly running my own website, traveling and doing shows. I had my jewelry in about 20 stores all over the country. After having kids, I needed a way to work from home and not travel as often. Etsy is such a great platform. A lot of people encouraged me to do it. I spent a lot of time perfecting my titles, tags and content. I really want to communicate the "feeling" of each ring to go along with the photography. I add one or two items a week. And now, 60-70% of my business comes from Etsy."
ff: How has Etsy's coverage on your shop directly affected your business?
"I've been featured on Etsy numerous times, which really helps in building credibility and an element of trust for potential Etsy customers. I've probably been in their newsletter 10 times. This started about two years when their PR team, that searches Etsy for stores to spotlight, found my shop and contacted me. The last featured interview they did was on their main page for three days. I had an immediate boost in views from 600 daily views to 1,000 and sales followed."
ff: Do you have a favorite jewelry item to make, or a favorite material to work with? (from Etsy)
"Yes! My split-band engagement rings are the most exciting for me. Ninety percent of what I create now is rings And it's funny, when I first started selling online, I thought I needed to make some more basic pieces to appeal to a broader range of people, but the designs that I'm the most passionate about are the ones that people buy the most of. That has been so incredibly encouraging, and a good reminder to be true to the voice that's in my heart and to my own design style."
ff: You've said repetition in nature inspires you — particularly the patterns in butterfly wings. What else in nature or your surroundings inspires you?
"I've always been a collector of things from nature – rocks, sticks – but have had a particularly close connection to butterflies. My mema did too. When I was growing up and found an injured butterfly on the side of the road, I set up a sort of 'butterfly hospice' where I'd treat them by giving them flowers to eat. Years later, I worked with the butterfly museum in Durham. They gave me broken wings for my early designs. Now I don't actually use butterfly wings, but with a lot of the rings I create patterns inspired by their wings, fluidity and abstract nature. I also am drawn to the pattern details in flower petals or the veins in a leaf. The color of the sea – aqua, blues and greens – often influences my choice in gemstones."
ff: What soundtrack do you work to?
"Honestly, I really like the quiet since I'm usually so inundated with the kids. Jewelry takes me to a meditative zone when I'm creating. I just started to listening to music again – Jonathan & Melissa Helser, Kim Walker. Jack Johnson and Jason Moraz when I need something more upbeat."
ff: How have you connected with customers through your jewelry?
"It's so special being part of a surprise engagement and hearing the love stories that inspire the jewelry. I particularly enjoy recycling heirlooms into engagement or wedding bands. The layer of sentimental value is even deeper than the rings themselves."
ff: Please share in detail the process of the custom design you made with me.
"It was so much fun! It's become more rare that I have studio visits in person for custom work since so much of my business is done virtually now. First, you sent me photos of your favorite designs of mine and then images of some of your favorite pieces of jewelry. We then talked about metal, texture and stone color. Rose gold – check. Since you are a May baby, you decided you wanted a raw emerald. You also said you gravitate to pyramid / triangle shapes. At that first meeting, I did an original sketch. At our next meeting, I had 8-10 raw emeralds for you to choose from. Then, you came back mid-process so we could finalize the form before the ring was soldered. You said you kept seeing a 'ram's head' so we moved things a few millimeters to get it just right."
ff: Have you had requests for similar rings since you shared the custom design we created together?
"I had a HUGE reaction to that ring. So many people absolutely loved it. I've had lots of requests for raw emerald designs since then."
ff: Tell us about your coverage in British VOGUE. How did it come about? What was it like when you heard from them?
"Complete and utter shock. Being in VOGUE has been on my dream list for as long as I can remember. It started with an email saying they wanted to feature one of my rings. I talked to my sister shortly after I received the email and she said, ' You better call and make sure it was not a scam!' So, I did! The most amazing British accent answered – 'This is Sophie at VOGUE Magazine in London.'
Turns out they found me on Etsy. Etsy has truly been such a shining star for my business. It was the most amazing moment of my career, by far."
ff: If you could create a capsule collection for any brand/designer/store, who would it be?
"Tough call between The Sundance catalog and Anthropologie."
ff: I read about your work with Made by Survivors, helping to create and grow a job-training jewelry design program for survivors of human trafficking. Tell us a little about how Melissa Tyson Designs interacts with the Wilmington creative community.
"I used to do every show that came through Wilmington. I've been a vendor at Art for the Masses since it began. Being a part of the arts community is super important to my heart. Since I've had kids, I had to pull back a lot, but they are getting to the age where they are not quite as dependent. I miss collaborating and the creative energy that brings. You can find me at the Wilmington Weddding & Events show at Wrightsville Manor July 26th and at Courtyards & Cobblestones in January 2017."

Pregnant mom killed when 6-year-old son accidentally runs her over with minivan
Parking lot where pregnant mom was killed, run over by her minivan
A pregnant mom died Monday after her 6-year-old son accidentally put the minivan in gear and ran her over in the parking lot of Sunnyside Beach.
The 35-year-old woman was identified as Shannon MacLeod, of Tacoma. She had at least five children.
Paramedics and police were called to the 2500 block of Chambers Creek Road in Steilacoom about 4:15 p.m. and found MacLeod trapped underneath the vehicle with serious injuries.
Firefighters used their equipment to lift the minivan off the woman, who was eight months pregnant. She died on the way to the hospital.
MacLeod's 6-year-old son and other children in the vehicle were not injured.
Doctors were able to perform an emergency C-section and save the baby, who was taken to Seattle Children's Hospital. He was named Joseph Jr. but is not doing well.
"I mean it's bad enough I lost my significant other," Joseph Verplank, MacLeod's fiance, told KIRO. "But then to lose a child…"
MacLeod was behind the minivan loading it up as they prepared to leave when the vehicle rolled backward and pinned her.
"The vehicle literally ran her over," said Paul Loveless, the town administrator, adding that the investigation is ongoing.
Pierce County sheriff's detectives are assisting with the investigation.
MacLeod's 20-year-old son, Nathan MacLeod, started a GoFundMe page to raise money to help support his siblings.
"My mom loved her kids more than anything," he wrote. "All she cared about was her kids. Did everything to take care of them no matter what."
The family is still struggling to get back on their feet affter a fire destroyed their home in December.

No, seriously. I'm not kidding! This is by far the absolutely easiest DIY mask I have ever tried! This mask contains one, and only one, ingredient: egg white. I have battled acne since high school and have so many different over the counter, prescription and DIY products. A few years ago I was searching Pinterest (what's new!) when I came across using egg whites as a mask. At first I was skeptical but I decided to give it a try! I mixed lemon juice with the egg whites but, because of my very sensitive skin, it burned! I then thought why not put toilet paper, in pieces, on my face and spread the egg whites on top to make a peel off mask. Needless to say, my husband took a picture of me in my pink robe and toilet paper spread on my face but it didn't seem to do the trick.
I gave it one more shot and just used one egg white and spread it on my face and TA-DA: IT WORKED! I was amazed at the results! I still use the egg whites twice a week on my face and it helps to heal pimples when they arrive, which has become less frequent but they still like to pop out at the worst times! Here is the step-by-step directions for trying this simple DIY mask! I would love to hear what your favorite at home mask is! xoxo
- 1 Egg white
- Crack an egg and separate the yolk from the white in a small bowl
- Whip up the egg white like you would when you make scrambled eggs, until it becomes a little frothy
- Carefully (because it is runny and will run down your arm!) get some of the egg white on your fingers and spread on your face, avoiding the eyes and mouth
- Wait 20-25 minutes or until the egg becomes hard on your skin and your skin feels tighter
- Wash off with warm water, I just use my hands to rinse
- Pat dry and apply your moisturizer


text: Marcel/Gerald, First something Gerald mentioned: > Unfortunately, this technique is not bullet-proof. A *2OneChannel channel > can still be used by multiple ALTs and the compiler accepts it without > complaining. This is not an ALT-specific problem. The problem is one of channel useage checking - something we take for granted from occam compilers! occam can get these things checked because channels are not data-types and the compiler, therefore, knows that some special rules apply to them (e.g. no multiple readers) and can enforce it. Becuase Java is not CSP-aware and we are building in CSP primitives with a *library* (and not a *language*) mechanism, the Java compiler can perform no special checks in regard to channel useage - a Channel is just another class (interface actually in JCSP). Now, we could build a tool to do those checks for JCSP or CTJ - but that tool would have to be tied to recognise specific user names (like One2OneChannel). But then it could complain about a One2OneChannel that was written to by two or more processes - after a bit of chasing through source files. Meanwhile, if you set up a network with two or more readers reading from a *2OneChannel, there is race hazard disaster looming. So, it's up to the JCSP user not to do that - i.e. it's a design rule. If those two or more readers happen to ALT (as well as read) from a *2OneChannel, another race hazard lurks but we were doomed anyway! Of course, if this worries you, dispense with all varieties of channel apart from Any2AnyChannel (like CTJ). Then, multiple readers and multiple writers are always safe - unless, of course, as Gerald points out, any one of those readers tries an ALT on that channel ... then, it's back to race hazards! But in JCSP, I prefered to offer the user a variety of 1-*, *-1 and *-* channels. This lets the designer document how he/she intends to use the channel (and a tool - but not the compiler - could verify this). Another benefit is that the application suffers only the synchronisation overheads it needs. Another *benefit* (and this gets back to Marcel's question) is that once you have declared a 1-* or *-* channel, the compiler will not allow a reader to ALT on it. As Gerald notes: > This restriction in JCSP should prevent two or more competing ALT constructs > on a shared channel. This is because competing ALT constructs are a source > of hazardous race conditions. So, in JCSP, you expose yourself to a channel race hazard if and only if you deliberately set more than one process to work at the end of a channel that has been declared for use by only one. Marcel asks: > This is quite a restriction. I can imagine that the following > (less demanding) restriction is also sufficient: > > If an ALT selects an *2AnyChannel, the process has to perform > an input from that channel. > > Is this correct? No - that is not sufficient. The above is the rule is any case. In occam, the selection of the ALTernative and the execution of the guard are atomic. In JCSP, the select (priSelect or fairSelect) just returns an index and you are *obliged* to input from that channel (if the index corresponded to a channel). The compiler will let you not do so - but, in that case, you are not playing the game and nasty things will happen. Again, these rules could be checked by a tool that knows about all these special names (`Alternative', `select' etc.). [Note: JCSP could have chosen to make the selection and input (in the case of a channel) atomic: make the `select' method do the input and return the received object *and* the selection index. But the Java language doen not provide a neat way of returning an object *and* and int from a method :-( ...] > If my suggestion is incorrect, I would like to know why... The occam3 SHARED channel reflects a fair-ALT over an array of channels where no preconditions may be set and we never need to do any other kind of input from that array (e.g. to do a ALTing read from a subset of them). The SHARED channel also enables a unit-time implementation of this restricted ALT. The Any2OneChannel does this for JCSP. The *2Any channel does this for readers. In effect, the channel is ALTing over attempted outputs to each of those readers - i.e. there are output guards. It follows, therefore, that allowing any of those readers also to ALT over a channel input is *either* going to be unsafe (there will be a race hazard disaster sometime) *or* there needs to be a complex and time-consuming policing action to sort things out. That's why output guards are not allowed in occam (nor in JCSP). So, JCSP *could* be amended so that *2AnyChannels extend the Guard interface and could, therefore, be used as guards in ALTs. But the implementation of those guard methods (enable/disable) and the triggering write method of the *2AnyChannel itself would be frightening! It's been hard enough already making the JCSP Alternative free of race hazards - and we still haven't proved it (although we now have the machinery to do so). So, do we really need to allow a server, competing with other servers for the same channel, to back off? One view of an Any2AnyChannel is for clients and servers to find each other - so long as they don't care how they are matched up. Each client (the writer to the Any2AnyChannel) and server (the reader) commits to this pairing. A neat thing to do is for the client to send a private One2OneChannel down the Any2AnyChannel. When the Any2Any communication has happened, they can commune away in private! If we really need to withdraw a server's offer of service, get a proxy to commit to the Any2AnyChannel read and output details to the server (who can handle the rest of the transaction). The server can safely ALT out of taking the input from its proxy. The proxy may get stuck but who cares? Of course, the above would be much better for an occam with ANY.ANY.CHANs, where the cost (run-time + memory) of the proxy would be zilch ... I do have other uses of Any2AnyChannels, particularly if they are buffered. They make a secure buffered pool in which any processes in a parallel network may deposit and retrieve items. If you are working with passing objects around the network and obey the rule of send-it-and-lose-it, all is well. But we need a source for empty objects and a sink. A buffered Any2AnyChannel gives this for free! Again, for this application, I don't need the competing object grabbers to back off - they just have to wait and that's OK!! Does anyone have an example where a process, competing with other processes, needs to back off that competitive read? Cheers, Peter.

Quentin Crisp's Book of Quotations by Quentin Crisp
1989, hardcover
"The fact of homosexuality never changes; but as homosexuals change what they think they deserve, heterosexuals spend their lives adjusting to it. It therefore seems infinitely worthwhile and even urgent to record all these fascinating vicissitudes of relationships, these shifts of moral emphasis that disturb our lives... expressed in the words of people who throughout the ages stood on both sides of the barbed-wire fence."

Revision surgeries of total hip arthroplasty are often caused by a deficient structural compatibility of the implant. Two main culprits, among others, are bone-implant interface instability and bone resorption. To address these issues, in this paper we propose a novel type of implant, which, in contrast to current hip replacement implants made of either a fully solid or a foam material, consists of a lattice microstructure with nonhomogeneous distribution of material properties. A methodology based on multiscale mechanics and design optimization is introduced to synthesize a graded cellular implant that can minimize concurrently bone resorption and implant interface failure. The procedure is applied to the design of a 2D left implanted femur with optimized gradients of relative density. To assess the manufacturability of the graded cellular microstructure, a proof-of-concept is fabricated by using rapid prototyping. The results from the analysis are used to compare the optimized cellular implant with a fully dense titanium implant and a homogeneous foam implant with a relative density of 50%. The bone resorption and the maximum value of interface stress of the cellular implant are found to be over 70% and 50% less than the titanium implant while being 53% and 65% less than the foam implant.

I rather enjoy the depravity of a good flame war, so I'll step right in if I think I have a point to add.
I know the difference between sticks & stones. I also have thick skin - or is it a thick skull?
I have met many knowledgeable bus folk who won't post for fear of being attacked - they just don't want to deal with the drama.
Openly debating facts & opinions bus related is one thing.
Personal, vicious attacks are something entirely different.
Deleting the vicious posts leaves those that didn't read them in the dark & gives the offending poster a free pass to continue.
Based on the whole of the posts I've read, the moderators did this board a favor & exercised good judgement in using their power to ban certain posters. I'll defer to their judgement concerning lifting of any ban they have imposed.
My grandmother once said "If you act like an @$#, you shouldn't be surprised when you are treated like one."
Basically, it all comes down to showing respect for others & earning it for yourself.

As I see it we are a community, each and every one of us is a part of it. Myself a smaller part, others a larger part of it. I have spoken to Richard and I grew up just a few short mountain ridges from where he lives. I've had conversations with Ace and I find him very likeable and helpful. Men are a proud bunch, and to ask Ace to call and grovel to came back may be asking something very hard to do. I think if Nick was the one to ban Ace then it's up to Nick to reinstate Ace and be done with it. We need everyone who wants to be here. We are only on this earth a short time and we all need each other at times. I almost died Last Sat, so this stuff is trivial to me
So Nick I'm asking in a nice way please put and end to it and invite Ace back.

Not that it matters now.. But the person responsible for starting the war was not ACE.
Never was and hasn't been ever since. His responses were acted out as a defensive measure from all historical reference to what started the affair.
The Person whom was elemental was and is still a Global Moderator of this board.
That is the sole reason that the mess became out of control. When a moderator doesn't like something here they just delete peoples messages because it pissed them off. That is the bottom line....
Ace is on my board and has behaved very well, He like all of us can become sensitive if conversations start reeling out of control.
To the moderators and admins of this board. Gentlemen you do tend to make the appearance that you are the final word in many things. Not once have two of you actually agreed on anything. All things considered as a general rule you have done a pretty good job so far even forgiving some of the " It's Mine! " nonsense.
As for anyone deciding whether a person is welcome or not. It should not come down to a POLL or 50 page dissertation by 90 people who have no idea what is going on.
You can flame me, ban me, delete me and be nastly all you want... I really don't care.
My life is not and will not be regulated by a POLL or any silly stuff like that. I don't think it is fair to anyone to put a POLL up to decide whether someone can participate on this or any other Bulleting Board.
Thanks, Guys this really pushed me over the edge...
I will be on my board where Fair is Fair

I liked Bobofthenorth's take. Just with the twist that I don't think I have the "power".... and want it not. I would rather the pole have asked wether I "have a problem with Ace being.....to the board". To that I answer NO! I have no problem at all. He put out some good stuff and was helpful and generous to many.
I also missed his being banned from posting. Thought he was just laying low. Now I am disappointed that I didn't drop him a line and express my disappointment...even IF he richly deserved the discipline. I really do believe in PAYBACK and I look forward to getting mine and giving it and I conduct my life of deeds accordingly. Now as far as argument and attitude and opinion, well that is different. Maybe I am broad minded or maybe something else but I have actually promoted people that liked me not one bit but they followed my lead faithfully and their performance was exemplary. No beer drinky, though. Another comes to mind that had the morales of a curr dog and I loath habitual adulterers. Still, look as I might I could find nothing in the evaluation guide and procedures that allowed me to consider either of their shortcomings. Civil service requires, as a policy, that you promote who is the best qualified and who is the best performer and that for the good of the Nation.....its easy, see. No politics. And ,no, I am not simple minded enuf to even dream that I am the NORM.
Hope to hear from Ace soon but I support the moderators.
"An uneducated vote is a treasonous act more damaging than any treachery of the battlefield.
The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." Plato

Since I'm the culprit who started all this I'm going to jump in here with a thought or two.
First thank you all for your votes and posts....the poll was the only way I could think of to show any measure of support for Ace. Those of us who know him realize that he's a completely different person, one on one in a discussion, than we might find in the written dialogue. I've had what I thought were disagreements with some postings but I sent those members a personal message and kept any disagreements off the Board.
Anytime I find one of my posts has been deleted I sit up and take notice and rethink whether or not I should have approached the topic in the manner I did. That's what the Moderators do...and in most cases...do it well.
Perhaps a compromise would be to open Ace's membership again, quietly, and send him a PM to that effect.
I agree with WVNative that he shouldn't have to grovel to anyone...men don't treat men like that.
Wish I'd thought of the 'Don't Care' category...tried to add it but I guess I'm not that computer bright.

Hi Bob,
It this point, this thread shouldn't be the pressure point for Ace or the bbs members and moderators to make a decision. Not fair to anyone!
If Ace wants back in, He'll know what is needed to make that happen.
This thread has expressed good and bad from all points of view and no others are needed. When and if Ace returns, it will be as quietly as he left.
I have now locked this thread!

Korean designer Juun J continues to explore the extremities of menswear in a collection that focused on shape. With a hyper modern approach to menswear, Juun J followed a similar route to Viktor & Rolf's exaggerated silhouette. The designer's inflated shoulder shape created experimental garments that were as challenging, as they were extraordinary in their construction.
Embedded in a dark palette, funnel neck trench coats and tailored wool jackets were nipped at the waist which further defined the top-heavy shape. While Interesting in terms of ideas and form, the lack of wearability in the collection prevented its existence from becoming convincing. On a good note - the final parade of models in coloured parkas presented an realistic approach to menswear and bought Juun J's vision back to earth.

Yeah I am already messing up my scedule. I just have to get this thing published before the 30th. Thank you very much. So today I am going to show you guys some pics of some old things in my house. Now some of these aren't physically old but they just seem old or based on old things. Here are the pics!
This is the majestic thing that none of us know what it is. Do you guys know what it is?
It is the sledge hammer device.
This is a cool empress thing from china. It is like super breakable and I think made out of some precious stone.
This is her husband the emperor.
It's me! As a tiny girl.
This is also from some Asian country I think. It is kind of broken.
I love that color of blue!
I am pretty sure the book is a type of bible.
This is the old pitcher.
I think my mom found this in some house that an old guy sold us. She for some reason liked it. By the way I don't really believe in people having guns. They do hurt people.
My dad actually made this.
These are some old hats some old lady used to own.
A bunch of different items.
By the way the reason I did an "Old Things" photoshoot is because the 5th BIBPC category is old things. Here is the photos I want to enter.
I don't know. I couldn't really find any really old things in my house. It was hard.
So which photo was your favroite? If you liked this post and others on my blog make sure to follow!

"I find clothes so constricting!" – Raquel Welch, Actress and Famous Former La Jolla Resident
I've been fortunate enough to stay at some of the most wonderful hotels in La Jolla. I've stayed in two or three prior to moving to San Diego, and a few others while attending conferences, business meetings, and "stay-cations" after moving to San Diego. Many of the hotels in La Jolla have great restaurants and spas in addition to really nice rooms and views. Here are my favorites:
Best Places to Stay
There are some really terrific places to stay in La Jolla. They are great for stay-cations, and for visitors of San Diego. Two of my favorite hotels that have really nice spas are Estancia Hotel La Jolla, and The Lodge at Torrey Pines. Neither hotel is in the Village, but both are great venues. Both have nice accommodations for business meetings, and we actually had our company holiday party at Estancia one year. The Lodge is adjacent to Torrey Pines Golf Course and Torrey Pines State Reserve. The Lodge is also home to one of the best restaurants in San Diego, A.R. Valentien.
The Hilton Torrey Pines is also right on the Torrey Pines golf course. It is a nice place with comfortable rooms and a nice restaurant as well. I've attended quite a few events and conferences at this Hilton over the years, but I don't think it is nearly as nice as The Lodge. However, it's not quite as expensive either.
My two favorite places in the Village are Grand Colonial La Jolla and the La Valencia Hotel. Both are older, more quaint and cute places. La Valencia has some really good and fun places to eat and drink including La Sala, The MED, and Café la Rue. La Valencia is great for events, including weddings. They both overlook La Jolla Cove, and are walking distance to all the Village has to offer.
If you want to be right on the beach, you can stay at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. This is a private club, but it is possible to stay there, even as a non-member. I've stayed there a couple of times, and it is great to have access to both the pool and the beach. The staff is very service-oriented, and it can be a great place for a family vacation. If you live in La Jolla, joining as a member is one of the best values around. It allows you to have private ocean front access, even if you live up in the hills near Mount Soledad. There is about a five year wait list to get into the club, and you have to know other members. If you can afford it, it is well worth it. Even if you are only a guest at the hotel, you're allowed access to all the amenities. Another nice aspect of The Beach & Tennis Club is the Marine Room, a very special San Diego restaurant. It is attached to the Beach & Tennis Club building, but not part of the Club. Dining at the Marine Room during high tide is awesome! You should definitely check it out.
The other option for an ocean front hotel is the La Jolla Shores Hotel. This hotel is right next door to the Beach & Tennis Club. It has a nice restaurant, and a pool as well.
Awesome Places to Play Golf in La Jolla
There is a private golf course in La Jolla called La Jolla Country Club. You'll need to be friends with a member to play at this country club. Torrey Pines Golf Course is a public golf course and includes two 18-hole courses. It is difficult to get a tee-time unless you are a resident of the city of San Diego, or friends with someone that lives within the city limits to make the tee-time. It is also more expensive for non-residents of San Diego, including those of us that live in North County. Both are spectacular courses however, and very worth it if you can get a tee-time. Torrey Pines is famous for PGA golf events. The US Open has been played there, and the annual Farmers Insurance Open is also hosted at Torrey Pines.
La Jolla's World-Renowned Research and Higher Education
La Jolla is home to The University of California, San Diego (UCSD), Salk Institute for Biological Studies, Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, and Scripps Research Institute. This makes La Jolla and greater San Diego a business hub for biotechnology, communications technology, and innovation in stem cell and cancer research. People come from all over the globe to study here and be part of the southern San Diego culture.
Other Cool Stuff
Some additional points of interest worth seeing in La Jolla not discussed above include:
- The Birch Aquarium
- Black's Beach (AKA the nude beach…not for everyone)
- Torrey Pines Glider Point (AKA for crazy hang-glider people)
- The La Jolla Playhouse
- The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego
- Mount Soledad Memorial
What are your favorite places to stay and play in La Jolla? We will cover some of our favorite restaurants in La Jolla in our next article. We hope you're enjoying this series! We'd love to hear from you!

A man is in hospital with life-threatening injuries after he crashed a pick-up truck into Consulate of Mexico building in Leamington on Sunday evening, says OPP.
Truck driver suffers life-threatening injuries in crash with Mexican Consulate building in Leamington
A man is in hospital with life-threatening injuries after he crashed a pickup truck into the Mexican Consulate building in Leamington, says OPP.
The incident happened around 5:25 p.m. at the intersection of County Road 33 and Highway 77.
Provincial police said a black Dodge pickup truck had been heading west on County Road 33 when it left the roadway and went through a bean field, driving head-on into the rear wall of the building at 350 Highway 77.
The impact was powerful enough for the truck's front end to penetrate the brick wall, embedding the vehicle as deep as its driver seat.
There was no one inside the building at the time of the crash. The address has been the location of the Consulate of Mexico in Leamington since 2005.
Leamington firefighters and Essex-Windsor emergency medical services responded with OPP.
The male driver was the only occupant of the vehicle. He was rushed to the Ouellette Campus of Windsor Regional Hospital.
The incident required no road closures.
OPP collision specialists remained on the scene into Sunday night and their investigation was ongoing at press time.

The Active Times
For centuries, 29,035-foot Mt. Everest has captured the human imagination. First, it was considered sacred by the Nepalese who lived at its base. Later, when the British discovered it to be the highest point in the world, it took on a whole new meaning for people of every nation. As with all superlatives—the longest river, the biggest wave, the steepest rock face -- the tallest mountain has since attracted hordes of mountaineers who are driven by the desire to stand on top of the world.
This month marks the 60th anniversary of British climber Sir Edmund Hillary's first ascent of Mt. Everest, which he claimed with his Sherpa guide Tenzing Norgay on May 29, 1953. The mountain has changed a lot since then. Nowadays, hundreds of mountaineers flock to Everest every spring, to take advantage of a brief 'window' of good weather between winter storms and the spring monsoons. They pay thousands of dollars, sacrifice months of their lives and risk death in pursuit of a fleeting moment above it all.
But despite the intense scrutiny, and the vast resources humans put into climbing Mt. Everest, it's still a mystery to much of the world. Few can comprehend just how little oxygen there is in the final 3,000 feet, an area that mountaineers call the "Death Zone" because nothing lives in its thin air, which can kill even the best-prepared climber. It's hard, too, to imagine the tons of garbage that litter the mountain, or to understand why fossilized sea creatures are embedded in the stone at its lofty summit. And its frozen flanks also harbor a few deeper mysteries that nobody's been able to solve.
These mysteries—and, indeed, the mountain itself—serve as good reminders of how small humans are in the grand scheme of things. Sure, more than 3,500 climbers have touched the top in the past 60 years. Base Camp has WiFi, there's an airport nearby, sherpas and guides have the routine down pat, and rescue helicopters wait in the wings to pluck climbers from danger. But even today, no technology can reliably deliver humans to the top of the world without considerable risk. Everest is—despite all criticisms that it's become too soft—the great, uncaring equalizer. Perhaps that's why so many continue to trudge upward. As British mountaineer George Mallory put it before himself perishing below its summit, "Because it's there."
No matter how many people try their hand at it, adventure and intrigue cannot be sapped from such a powerful place. In celebration of the 60th anniversary of Everest's first ascent, we present you with 17 fascinating facts about the top of the world.
Fascinating Facts About Mount Everest Slideshow
'Everest' is just 1 of its 3 names
The Great Trigonometric Survey of British India originally spotted the mountain from Darjeeling, India, in the Himalayan foothills of West Bengal, nearly 140 miles away. They first named it Gamma, then Peak XV, and finally, in 1865, they settled on Mount Everest, a name that seems to evoke how the mountain stretches ever higher into the heavens, but was actually after Surveyor General Sir George Everest. Local names, however, are more imaginative. The Tibetans call it 'Chomolunga' (Goddess Mother of the World), and the Nepalese know it as 'Sagarmatha' (Ocean Mother/ Head of the Sky).
Early surveyors lied about its height
In 1856, the British Royal Geographic Society declared the summit of Everest to be 29,002 feet, despite the fact that the actual calculation—settled on after years of double-checking for accuracy -- was exactly 29,000 feet. The extra two feet were added on arbitrarily so the world wouldn't think they were estimating. Nowadays, the widely accepted summit is 29,035 feet, but even that may not be accurate (see the next slide).
Nobody knows exactly how tall it is
Using GPS instruments, scientists have calculated that Everest rises a fraction of an inch, and moves a few inches to the northeast, each year. Coupled with the changing snow on Everest's peak -- which can rise as high as 20 feet during monsoon season -- the exact height is a moving target.
The deadliest thing on the mountain is a glacier
Sort of, anyway. The Khumbu Icefall, a glacier on the Nepalese side of Everest, is the deadliest zone on the mountain. Covering some 1,800 vertical feet, it houses crevasses as deep as a 12-story-skyscraper, which climbers cross on fixed ropes and ladders. More than 60 people have died to date in the Icefall, killed by falling ice, collapsing seracs and falls into the ever-shifting crevasses.
A 'sherpa' isn't necessarily a 'Sherpa'
There's a big difference between 'Sherpa' and 'sherpa.' The former refers to an ethnic group living in the Khumbu region of Nepal; while the lowercase latter is the generic term for porters and guides in the Himalayas, which come from a variety of regional castes.
It was once at the bottom of the world
Or the bottom of the sea, anyway. 470 million years ago, well before tectonic plates collided, giving rise to the Himalayas, the gray limestone comprising Mt. Everest's summit was part of the seafloor. Nowadays, as it overlooks the roof of the world, small marine vertebrate fossils can be found on Everest's frozen flanks.
This man is king of the mountain
With 21 summits to his name, Apa Sherpa holds the record for most ascents of Everest. It's no wonder they call him "Super Sherpa," and that we named him to our Active Times 50.
Getting to the summit costs a fortune
A basic permit costs $8,000 on the Tibetan side, and $10,000 on the Nepalese. From there, independent expeditions -- no guides or sherpas -- can stay as low as $30K. But the vast majority of today's mountaineers use sherpas as porters and guides, as well as western expedition guides, which can hike the price up to $65K. For larger groups, the bill can run as high as $100K. And, yes, these numbers are all per person.
The big mountain attracts big records
A slew of records have been set on Everest: • American Jordan Romero, 13, became the youngest to summit in May of 2010. • Nepalese Bahadur Shcerchan, 76, became the oldest on May 26, 2008. • Erik Weihenmayer, legally blind, summited on May 26, 2001. • Chhurim, a Nepalese Sherpa, summited twice last May—in the same week. • Lakpa Gyelu, 35, holds the record for fastest ascent at 10 hours and 56 minutes. But perhaps the most impressive record set was in 1978, when Italian climber Reinhold Messner (pictured) claimed first summit without supplemental oxygen, silencing the disbelievers. He repeated the feat two years later, setting yet another record by doing it solo.
It takes weeks -- and many breaks -- to climb
On the Tibetan side there are three camps between Base Camp and the summit; on the Nepalese side, there are four. These pit stops are for much more than rest. In a process known as acclimatization, prospective summiteers will spend weeks climbing up to the summit in increments, in order to build their red-blood cell count (oxygen-rich molecules in our blood stream) to the thinning altitude.
It may be commercial, but Everest is still deadly
There are many ways to die on Everest: exhaustion, falling rock or ice, crevasse breaks, icefall collapses, illness and acute mountain sickness, to name just a few. But the three leading causes of death—falling, avalanches and exposure/frostbite (in order)—account for more than 50 percent of the estimated 236 people who've perished on the mountain.
It has a serious litter problem
Many tons of tents, empty oxygen cylinders, batteries, ropes, packaging, medicine, equipment and other detritus have been abandoned on the mountain. Entire expeditions are occasionally assembled to clean up the garbage, and locals have 'upcycled' up to 8 tons of it into art that raises awareness about the big mountain's big litter problem.
But there's more than trash frozen up there
An estimated 225 corpses remain frozen on Everest's lofty flanks. That's because it costs up to $30,000 -- not to mention considerable risk to removal parties -- to bring a body down from the so-called "Death Zone" to where a helicopter can remove it from the mountain. Most bodies are simply removed from view of the main routes and, if possible, buried. A few, however, remain in sight and have become grim waypoints along the way that climbers use to judge how close they are to the summit.
It hasn't always been open to mountaineers
Today, Everest is a well-known destination for adventure-hungry climbers, but it hasnt always been accessible. The Dalai Lama only allowed foreigners into Tibet in 1920. China reversed the measure upon invading Tibet in 1950, and Nepal responded the same year by opening its borders to foreigners, leading to the famous Hillary/Norgay first summit in 1953.
It's considered sacred by locals
In 2010, the Nepalese government denied a move to spread Sir Edmund Hillary's ashes on the summit. The local Lama even stepped in to halt the act of publicity on what they consider a holy site.
Helicopters can't reach the top
For the last (and hardest) 6,000 feet of Everest, you're really on your own. Not even the best-equipped rescue helicopters can fly above 23,000 feet. To stay aloft in the thin air, they'll often lighten their loads by carrying as little as eight gallons of fuel, restricting their total flight time to around 20 minutes.
Nobody's sure if Hillary and Norgay were first
In 1924 -- 30 years before Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's famed "first summit" -- George Mallory and Andrew Irvine set out to conquer Everest, only to die trying. Mallory's body has since been found, but nobody's sure whether the two died on the ascent, or if they made the first-ever summit. Irvine's corpse is still lost and, with him, his camera. Many believe that the answer of who was first likely lies behind its frozen aperture. For now, though, the mystery abides.

In the wake of these mounting attacks in Europe you can count on two things: 1. There will be a very nice floral tribute where people will light candles and leave notes of sympathy and 2. Authorities will bend over backwards to downplay or deny the link to Islam.
Here's one of the floral tributes in the exact spot where I stood just weeks ago:
More at the Daily Mail.
Meanwhile, British authorities continue to ignore the obvious signs that led the radicalized Khalid Masood to launch his attack. As Katie Hopkins at the Daily Mail points out: "what happened in prison for him to go in as Adrian Ajou in 2003 and come out as Khalid Masood in 2005? She is one of the few asking that and other tough questions. Instead of answer her questions, there is a move to charge Hopkins with hate crimes for daring to raise the issue of the Islamic enemy within.
Many of Britain's politically correct seem to have more trouble with the people daring to point out the problem than they do with the source of these mounting attacks. Question them and you're a racist guilty of hate crimes.
Consider this report from 2011:
I have just returned to London, where I have lived since I was 11. I have been away for four years, living as an ethnic minority in a monocultural part of the world, amassing a host of stories to tell to disbelieving friends. On the whole, I am glad to return. I shan't miss some locals' assumptions that, being a white woman, if I was outside after dark, as I occasionally was, usually to walk the few metres between my house and the church, I must be a prostitute eager to give them a blow job. I shan't miss the abuse my priest husband received: the daubing of "Dirty white dogs" in red paint on the church door, the barrage of stones thrown at him by children shouting "Satan". He was called a "f***ing white bastard" more than once, though, notably, never when in a cassock. I will also not miss the way our garden acted as the local rubbish dump, with items ranging from duvets and TV sets, to rats (dead or twitching) glued to cardboard strips, a popular local method of vermin control to stem the large numbers of them which scuttled between the rubbish piled in gardens and on pavements. Yes, I am very glad to have left Britain's second city.The writer, a Vicar's wife, goes on to describe how sections of Birmingham have been transformed into ghettos of radical Islam breeding crime and terror. Read the rest of it. It's eye opening. So naturally, the writer was attacked as a racist.
Another worrying aspect of the problem is the infiltration of schools in Birmingham and elsewhere by Islamic radicals. Schools dominated by Muslims quickly become centers for indoctrination. If you think it can't happen in the U.S. it already is. Public schools who would never allow Christians to preach are including Islam in the curriculum. Anyone who objects is labeled as Islamophobic.
British authorities may be putting a brave face on following the latest attack. One reaction has been to put up more barriers around tourist attractions like Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. Sadly, they are doing little to address the underlying cause of these attacks. You will never have enough barriers or cops to stop all the attacks. Failure to deal with the underlying cause means the carnage will continue!

From Massachusetts, USA:
Does diabetes cause obesity or is diabetes linked to obese people?
Obesity and typeĀ2 diabetes are closely linked because of how insulin and glucose work together in the body. Insulin has many jobs in the body, but the two most important are getting glucose into the cells for energy and storing extra glucose as fat. People with type 2 diabetes have problems at each cell site letting insulin bring glucose in for energy. As a result, there is a lot of glucose in the bloodstream, so insulin takes that "extra" glucose and stores it as fat. This cycle continues unless you make the cells more receptive to insulin with exercise, diet, or medication.
Type 2 diabetes has a strong hereditary component, so, if you have family members with type 2 diabetes, you are much more likely to develop the condition. By maintaining a healthy weight, exercising, and eating a nutritious diet, you can reduce your chances of getting type 2 diabetes by as much as 58% as shown in the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) results from earlier this year.

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech could complete a surprise move to Turkish outfit Besiktas in January, days after it was announced that a new partnership had been agreed between the two clubs.
This is according to the London Evening Standard, who understand that Cech could leave Stamford Bridge on either a permanent or short-term deal when the transfer window re-opens in the New Year. The Czech Republic international has spent most of the season so far on the substitutes' bench, following the return of Thibaut Courtois.

- Chelsea set to swap Petr Cech for Sami Khedira
- Cech agent confirms Man Utd and Liverpool interest
- Arsenal to beat Chelsea to new Thibaut Courtois
Agent confirms possible move
The report adds quotes from agent Mithat Halis, who is connected with Sport Invest International - the group that represent Cech - and claims Besiktas is a possibility for last season's PFA Premier League Goalkeeper of the Year.
"We have not held talks yet. However, Chelsea have recently made an agreement with Besiktas. Chelsea have similar deals with Vitesse and other clubs," he told reporters. "If Cech does become available Besiktas would become a potential destination."
Cech will consider options
Cech recently admitted that he will seriously consider his options in January if he continues to be overlooked by Jose Mourinho, who would prefer to keep the 32-year-old at the club, but knows the veteran goalkeeper is unhappy watching on from the sidelines.
Besiktas are not the only club interested in signing Cech, however. It's believed that Paris Saint-Germain, AS Monaco and European champions Real Madrid are all keen on the veteran keeper, who has been one of Europe's best over the past ten years.
A move to Real Madrid could appeal
Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti - who worked with Cech during his spell as Chelsea manager - may regard the Blues' star as a potential replacement for Iker Casillas, the 33-year-old who has been a shadow of his former self over the past 12 months.
It appears that coaches at the Bernabeu are yet to be convinced by summer signing Keylor Navas, the 27-year-old Costa Rica international who arrived from Levante in August. Casillas, despite his questionable form, has started all but one of Real Madrid's La Liga fixtures this season.
A move to the Bernabeu - to play for arguably the biggest club on the planet, under a manager he respects - is likely to appeal to Cech more than a move to Besiktas.
But the Turkish giants will not give up without a fight.

Gerald Wallace has been the invisible man since the trade was finalized to bring him to Boston. Rest assured, though. He does exist.
Not only is Wallace real, but when he is healthy, he is also real good. The man known as "Crash" was a joy to watch in his prime, particularly his 6 1/2 seasons with the Charlotte Bobcats. To this day, the 2009-10 Bobcats, the only team in franchise history to make the playoffs to this point, remain a cult favorite among diehard NBA fans for their all-out, take-no-prisoners style.
The days of diving headlong into the front row and scrapping for loose balls are not behind Wallace yet, but the collisions have taken their toll on the 30-year-old. Once a relatively decent offensive threat based on pure hustle alone, Wallace was virtually left unguarded by many opponents last season. Just three years ago, Wallace boasted a 3-point percentage of 37 percent, but he barely made 28 percent of his attempts in his lone season in Brooklyn while missing 13 games with his usual variety of bumps and bruises.
If Celtics fans are paying attention — and Wallace actually stays in green for any meaningful time — "Crash" should become a fan favorite in Boston. Team president of basketball operations Danny Ainge would be best off moving Wallace, of course, but the three years and $30 million remaining on Wallace's deal will make him a tough sell. If the Celtics are stuck with him, at least they know he will join a group of veterans in Brandon Bass, Courtney Lee and Keith Bogans who would sooner quit the NBA to flip burgers than complain about anything.
Wallace will not be the starting small forward in Boston. That is for sure. Jeff Green has a stranglehold on that spot. But Wallace is more than respectable as a backup and should push Green to greater heights, knowing a proven professional who gives maximum effort at all times is right there, waiting to steal his playing time. Wallace can also play a little power forward in smaller lineups, which the Celtics figure to use with Jared Sullinger or Kelly Olynyk manning the five spot occasionally.
Could Wallace's presence challenge Green to become a better player than ever, or would the Celtics be better off moving him, if they can? Vote in the poll below.
To kick off the official start of the NBA offseason, NESN.com will ask fans whether they think the Celtics should keep or move on from each player. The following day, we will provide the fans' verdict. Here is the schedule*:
Thursday, July 11: Avery Bradley (Verdict: Keep him, 88 percent)
Friday, July 12: Brandon Bass (Verdict: Keep him, 59 percent)
Monday, July 15: Rajon Rondo (Verdict: Keep him, 67 percent)
Tuesday, July 16: Courtney Lee (Verdict: Move on, 52 percent)
Wednesday, July 17: Shavlik Randolph (Verdict: Keep him, 60 percent)
Thursday, July 18: Jeff Green (Verdict: Keep him, 92 percent)

Imagine if Our Maytag Dishwasher Wont Operate? Make sure the doorway is locked and shut. Maytag dishwashers may identify when the doorway certainly will terminate any cleansing series to avoid water sill and is available. Watch for around twenty moments before shifting or unplugging draining or drying meals. When the drier doesn't reactivate phone a specialist.
Confirm that switch hasbeen pushed and that the period hasbeen chosen utilizing the Series switch. Unlike several types of dishwasher, Maytag devices push the BeginORCv switch and wont start before you pick a cleansing period. Confirm that inserting in a light is supplying energy, and that the electric store of the dishwasher is started up, if required.

My homemade biscuit recipes are wonderful. To make things easy (if you are in a hurry) and quickly want to make a batch up, please click the link at the bottom of the page to find a recipe for homemade biscuit mix.
I have several homemade biscuits recipes that are so simple to make and are "melt in your mouth" delicious. These include Red Lobster biscuits, and homemade buttermilk biscuits.
Here's my homemade sweet potato biscuit recipe.
The recipe below for baking powder biscuits produces a tender, flaky biscuit. Just don't work the dough too much, or they will be tough.
You can make the biscuits twice as big as usual so you
can make breakfast sandwiches. Just add scrambled eggs, bacon and
cheese. You may also make them with vegetable oil and it makes them
more flaky. When you use shortening or butter, it makes them more
fluffy. I usually add 1/2 teaspoon more of baking powder when I am
making big ones. It helps to keep them from being so heavy.
If you're new to biscuits, remember - any time you make biscuits (or scones or anything else that uses baking powder or soda to rise) you want to gently mix the dough JUST until the ingredients are all mixed -- don't overwork it or knead it. The more you handle your dough the more the gluten develops and the tougher your biscuits (or pie crust, etc.) will be.
Sausage Gravy Recipe
Red Eye Gravy
2 cups flour
2-1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 TBS white sugar
1/2 cup butter, cold
1-1/4 cups milk (whole milk is best)
PREHEAT the oven to 450 degrees and lightly spray a cooking sheet.
Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender or a knife until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk a little at a time, barely stirring after each addition. (Frequent stirring makes these biscuits or any biscuit tough.)
Drop by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
These are delicious warm with butter, homemade jam or honey. I
created this recipe when I lived in Tennessee, and this is certainly a

What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first visit to our office will consist of a comprehensive examination and consultation to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to meet your individual needs. It is important that any patient under the age of 18 be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
During this exam, Dr. Lugakingira or Dr. Awah (depends on who you are scheduled with) will perform a visual exam, as well as review your current X-rays. If necessary, additional X-rays may be taken to ensure efficient treatment planning.
Upon completion of the exam, a detailed treatment plan will be presented to you. We will thoroughly explain the details of the recommended procedure and answer any questions you may have.
Afterwards, we will schedule the appointment(s) for the procedure and make financial arrangements. Most of the time depending on medical history, prior scheduling arrangements, and procedures to be performed, surgery can be performed on the same day as the consultation.
We believe that good dental care begins with open communication. We promise to speak candidly with you about our diagnosis and recommendations, any alternative treatments, and any symptoms present that may require further treatment.
We try our very best to stay on schedule to minimize your waiting. Due to the fact that Dr. Lugakingira or Dr. Awah (depends on who you are scheduled with) performs many types of maxillofacial procedures, various circumstances may lengthen the time allocated for a procedure. Emergency cases can also arise and cause delays. We truly appreciate your understanding and patience.
Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your first visit:
- A surgical referral form completed by your general dentist/orthodontist
- Any recently taken radiographs
- A complete list of current medications you are taking or are allergic to
- Medical and dental insurance card(s)
- Completed Registration Forms
- Open Communication

Two case studies are presented in this paper, one study demonstrating revitalization of roadside vegetation through bioremediation after a spill of motor oil and in another case application of AgroRemed to sites affected by diesel spill with underlying utility cables. The TPH of the soil after bioremediation was reduced by more than 95% from 65,000 ppm in the first case while in the second case, the TPH was found to be below the detectable values from the initial value of 47,000 ppm. AgroRemed also helped restore the nutritive status of soil to facilitate growth of vegetation with minimum disturbance to existing ecosystem.

It started of a sudden and still I'm on the boat surfing the sea of vocabulary, grammar, English, knowledge, failure, and time to get few more out of me! Well the answer is still unanswered why I write but I think I was successful in getting a partial answer which is satisfactory at this immature stage of writing. I don't know why I started writing. I don't know why anybody does it. Maybe they're bored, or failures at something else.
My starting point is always a feeling of partisanship, a sense of injustice. When I sit down to write a blog, I do not say to myself, 'I am going to produce a work of art'. I write it because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, and my initial concern is to get a hearing. Moreover desire to share an experience which one feels is valuable and ought not to be missed.
For me my anger(very rarely I get in such state), my emotion, my feelings, my words, my urge, my stern, my stress , tiredness and almost everything whatsoever I go through finds it's answer in my blogs or any other form of writing(even Insta story).
All writers are vain, selfish, and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives there lies a mystery. Writing a blog is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one was not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand. For all one knows that demon is simply the same instinct that makes a baby squall for attention. And yet it is also true that one can write nothing readable unless one constantly struggles to efface one's own personality. Good prose is like a windowpane. I cannot say with certainty which of my motives are the strongest, but I know which of them deserve to be followed. And looking back through my work, I see that it is invariably where I lacked a meaningful purpose that I wrote lifeless blogs and was betrayed into purple passages, sentences without meaning, decorative adjectives and humbug generally. Mostly they are based on some common theme of any novel, blog, news article or any other form of writing which I read in my leisure or forcefully in school or college. Well another answer is I write because I can know to get answer of why I write is to keep writing.
Sheer egoism as defined by sir Orwell Desire to seem clever, to be talked about, to be remembered after death, to get your own back on the grown-ups who snubbed you in childhood, etc etc. It is humbug to pretend this is not a motive, and a strong one. Writers share this characteristic with scientists, artists, politicians, lawyers, soldiers, successful businessmen — in short, with the whole top crust of humanity. The great mass of human beings is not acutely selfish. After the age of about thirty they almost abandon the sense of being individuals at all — and live chiefly for others, or are simply smothered under drudgery. But there is also the minority of gifted, willful people who are determined to live their own lives to the end, and writers belong in this class. Serious writers, I should say, are on the whole more vain and self-centered than journalists, though less interested in money.
I never thought of making any sought of revenue by any means of writing. So to monetize my blog and earn some is not for what I write, my writings are just for the sake of killing time when my time is concentrated and I have to choose among YouTube Facebook or any other platform online to kill time I preferably choose word press. The heat on lap(of laptop) feels good enough and I am very comfortable doing all these things. Well to be honest writing work is tiresome and you need to put up all your four dimensional thinking to get few lines published just to get few genuine complements and those feels like someone has put up oxygen musk at the height of 42000 feet about the ground to support breath.
Joshua Becker sir though his post helped me a lot in my initial stage. He and many such writers & posts which I come across daily are reason why I write. "http://www.becomingminimalist.com/15-reasons-i-think-you-should-blog" – Joshua Becker
This not to impress you actually or to prove me superior to anyone because to do that I have many alternatives rather than sitting here on terrace and thinking about how you peoples will react to this blog. But yes a writer always cares about it's good readers and it is the reader only for whom writer write as if a writer express himself but no one even cared about it will be very relate-able like you text someone very close to you on whatsapp but you don't get anything except blue ticks!!
"I write because I love writing. I think I became a writer in order to explore my ideas and responses to the world around me, which I often found it difficult to share with others. Also I liked my passion, and a writer can choose his or her own working hours – midnight to dawn or whenever. The difficulty of becoming a writer never bothered me. I knew it was going to work for me sooner or later. And if you're a writer you don't have to retire but can keep on doing the thing you love till you drop off the chair." – Alex Miller and she & her words too are the reason why I wrote & will write.

There was no play at Blundstone Arena as rain wreaked havoc on Sunday, with umpires officially abandoning proceedings shortly after 2pm local time.
Sunday's washout provides some welcome relief for the embattled Aussies and captain Steve Smith, who face an uphill task trying to salvage the second Test.
South Africa dominated the opening day as 15 wickets fell on Saturday.
Australia, who lost the first Test in Perth, were dismissed for just 85 after being sent into bat, with the Proteas 171-5 in reply – a lead of 86 heading into day three.
Temba Bavuma (38) and Quinton De Kock (28) are unbeaten at the crease.

Rosco is one of the first dogs I featured on the blog, and I will forever have a soft spot for him.
I've known his mother Katie for a long time, first as one of my students, then as a friend, and now as a colleague too.
As long as I've known her I've been telling various stories about my dogs, and she has patiently listened even though her family were never really "dog people." I guess after listening to me and our other friend Michelle (mother to Kami) go on and on about rescuing she got bitten by the bug, and went to Hillside SPCA for Rosco.
Anyway, all that is to say that we shared this picture of Rosco way back in the spring.
Now we are pleased to announce the moment has arrived!!
Owen Gabriel arrived on September 12 and is settling in nicely to his new family.
He joins mom, dad Matt, Rosco, and Moose, a kitten who came to live with Rosco this summer.
She (yes, it's a she) is a rescue from the Hillside SPCA of course!
When Katie and Matt went to pick a kitten Moose had "goopy" eyes and looked like she really needed someone to step in and nurture her, and that's kind of Katie's specialty.
Tiny little Moose and big lug Rosco get along great, although Rosco is so gentle with her that at times, when she's biting his tail and hanging on, Katie and Matt have to encourage him to tell her to stop.
He mostly looks at them with a questioning expression, then licks Moose until she is too wet to keep tormenting him.
Just two years ago Katie and Matt said "I do."
Now they have a whole different life and they seem to be settling in wonderfully!
I hope they keep us up-to-date as Owen and Moose get bigger and Rosco takes care of them all.
I also just have to share this picture of Katie's sister Julia, who is spending some quality time here with both of her nephews and her niece. There are worse ways to spend an afternoon.
Much luck and love and many blessings to Katie, Matt, Owen, Rosco, and Moose!

Horizon League honors Wright State head coach Scott Nagy and three players
Head coach Scott Nagy and three players of the Wright State men's basketball team received honors as the Horizon League announced its annual League awards Wednesday afternoon: Nagy was tabbed as Coach of the Year, senior Grant Benzinger was selected to the first team, Loudon Love was chosen as the Freshman of the Year and to the second team and junior Mark Hughes was voted to the Defensive Team.
"I think that the awards given out are essentially team awards for us, I think that's how the guys look at it, and I'm sure they're all very humbled for being honored," Nagy said. "All three of them made tremendous contributions to our basketball team and certainly are very deserving."
Nagy, in his second year at Wright State, led the Raiders to a 22-9 and 14-4 record as WSU finished in second place. Nagy becomes the fourth Raider head coach to win the honor. The 14 league wins marked a new school record for conference wins and includes two victories over regular-season champion Northern Kentucky.
Benzinger, a guard from Cincinnati (OH) Moeller High School, has led the Raiders in scoring all season and currently has a 14.6 points per game average, ranking eighth in the Horizon League. He scored in double figures in 24 games, including his season-best 31 points at Northern Kentucky. Benzinger, who was the Player of the Week on January 15, leads the league in free throw shooting at 89.1%, third in three-point shooting at 37.1%, fifth in minutes played at 34.4 per game as well as 18th in rebounding with an average of 4.9.
Love, a center from Geneva (IL) High School, was named the Freshman of the Week seven times this year as he led the league in rebounding at 9.7 per game and averaged 12.7 points, which ranks 15th. He collected his career-high 19 rebounds against Milwaukee and his high of 25 points at Oakland. He also had 12 double-double performances while starting all 31 games. The freshman became the first WSU player to receive the Freshman of the Year honor after it was renamed from the previous Newcomer of the Year Award prior to the 2012-13 season. As the Newcomer of the Year Award, five Raiders received the honor.
Hughes, a guard from Youngstown (OH) Ursuline High School, has led the Raiders in steals with 37, as he helped the Raiders rank second in team defense in the Horizon League. He is the seventh Raider to appear on the Defensive Team since 2007. Hughes also averaged 10.1 points and 3.0 rebounds per game while hitting 57 three pointers.

Siege is a DJ and music producer born and bred in Belgium. His techy take on house has graced labels from Toolroom and Strictly Rhythm to ABODE records and Glasgow Underground.
Raised in Hasselt, outside of Belgium's best known clubbing centres, Siege, aka Sieg Motmans, is a beacon for the power of focus and self-determination. From recording tracks off the radio on a tape player given to him by his grandfather, to buying a mixer to try to learn to mix with this and a CD player, the desire to play music has always been with him. Buying his first vinyl turntables before he was old enough to go to a club, instead he listened to mixes on the internet, using this knowledge to buy the hottest records of the moment. It was after playing his first major gigs just a year or two later, however, that he realised he wanted to similarly inspire others by producing his own tracks. Self taught by his own dedication and the help of Future Music Magazine, when his first remix stopped just shy of the Beatport House Top Ten his reputation was assured.
After remixing BBT's classic Gods Child - which was being played by Hot Since 82, Paco Osuna, Prok & Fitch, Franky Rizardo and Nic Fanciulli to name but a few - Siege came to the attention of Toolroom's main man Mark Knight. He asked the young Belgian to remix another classic: Sharam Jey 'Shake Your'.
A few releases after his rip-roaring remix of Sharam Jey's classic, that went on to earn an incredible amount of DJ support from all corners of the Globe Siege returns to Toolroom Trax with his debut EP on the label. He displays his awesome and massively creative production talent here with 2 slices of thundering tech house that tick 2 very different boxes. 'Only 1' is the peak-time, heads down affair that Mark Knight has been hammering in his live sets over the past few Months, whilst 'Control' is a more melodic outing that lends itself to those bigger rooms and festival stages alike. Resulting, again, in a massive amount of DJ support from Adam Beyer, Technasia, Sam Paganini and many more.
Newly appointed Toolroom Family member Siege continues his journey remixing one of the summer anthems 'Feel my Needs' by Weiss. Siege ups the ante here with a solid tech house groove and uses those vocals and pianos sparingly, but enough to create an uplifting moment in those tougher sets. After being premiered by Yousef in Danny Howard's show on BBC Radio 1 it was rapidly picked up by the likes of Alan Fitzpatrick, Loco Dice and Fatboy Slim.
After playing on the infamous Tomorrowland and Extrema Outdoor in Belgium he'll soon be making his debut for Toolroom on their ADE showcase plus the massive TOO15OOM event in Maidstone one week later. With another EP coming on Toolroom's main label later this year the future is looking bright for Siege.
