Washington D.C. Christmas Ornament
Personalized Christmas Ornament
Ornament is slightly different from picture - THE BOTTOM OF THE OVAL PERMANENTLY SAYS WASHINGTON D.C.! Commemorate a trip to our nation's capital with this personalized Washington D.C. ornament. See the pretty pink cherry blossoms in bloom, the dome of the Capitol Building, the larger than life honest Abe Lincoln memorial and tall spire Washington monument overlooking the reflective pool. Across the background of the ornament is a banner with stars cut out across from it, waving in the breeze, a sign of the freedom we enjoy. A wonderful way to remember a trip to the District of Columbia and the home of our democratic government, this ornament is a lovely keepsake.
Material: Resin

Disease progression model in subjects with mild cognitive impairment from the Alzheimer's disease neuroimaging initiative: CSF biomarkers predict population subtypes
ABSTRACT WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS SUBJECT • Amnestic mild cognitive impairment MCI) represents the prodromal stage of Alzheimer's dementia and this disease progresses in a non-linear fashion. • Disease progression depends on a variety of demographic, biochemical, genetic and cognitive factors. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS • Baseline CSF biomarkers carry information about disease pathology and critical thresholds for these markers (Aβ and p-tau181P) have been identified that allow segregation of the population into MCI progressers and non-progressers. AIM The objective is to develop a semi-mechanistic disease progression model for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) subjects. The model aims to describe the longitudinal progression of ADAS-cog scores from the Alzheimer's disease neuroimaging initiative trial that had data from 198 MCI subjects with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) information who were followed for 3 years. METHOD Various covariates were tested on disease progression parameters and these variables fell into six categories: imaging volumetrics, biochemical, genetic, demographic, cognitive tests and CSF biomarkers. RESULTS CSF biomarkers were associated with both baseline disease score and disease progression rate in subjects with MCI. Baseline disease score was also correlated with atrophy measured using hippocampal volume. Progression rate was also predicted by executive functioning as measured by the Trail B-test. CONCLUSION CSF biomarkers have the ability to discriminate MCI subjects into sub-populations that exhibit markedly different rates of disease progression on the ADAS-cog scale. These biomarkers can therefore be utilized for designing clinical trials enriched with subjects that carry the underlying disease pathology.

Article: Modeling Alzheimer's Disease Progression Using Disease Onset Time and Disease Trajectory Concepts Applied to CDR-SOB Scores From ADNI[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Disease-onset time (DOT) and disease trajectory concepts were applied to derive an Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression population model using the clinical dementia rating scale-sum of boxes (CDR-SOB) from the AD neuroimaging initiative (ADNI) database. The model enabled the estimation of a DOT and a disease trajectory for each patient. The model also allowed distinguishing fast and slow-progressing subpopulations according to the functional assessment questionnaire, normalized hippocampal volume, and CDR-SOB score at study entry. On the basis of these prognostic factors, 81% of the mild cognitive impairment (MCI) subjects could correctly be assigned to slow or fast progressers, and 77% of MCI to AD conversions could be predicted whereas the model described correctly 84% of the conversions. Finally, synchronization of the biomarker-time profiles on estimated individual DOT virtually expanded the population observation period from 3 to 8 years. DOT-disease trajectory model is a powerful approach that could be applied to many progressive diseases.CPT: Pharmacometrics & Systems Pharmacology (2013) 2, e78; doi:10.1038/psp.2013.54; advance online publication 2 October 2013.10/2013; 2(10):e78.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this analysis was to develop a nonlinear disease progression model, using an expanded set of covariates that captures the longitudinal Clinical Dementia Rating Scale-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) scores. These were derived from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative ADNI-1 study, of 301 Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment patients who were followed for 2-3 years.Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment 01/2014; 10:929-52.

Dirk Nowitzki's workouts unconventional to say the least

"This trip was our first real "Family Vacation" and I will tell you that Deer Ridge helped make this trip a life lasting memory! From the moment we arrived everything was perfect. It was easy to get to the cabin with the directions provided and parking was not a problem. The area felt very secure and was at ease letting the kids (5 and 8) ride their bikes around the property. I immediately noticed how well the cabin and grounds were maintained. Everything was kept nice and orderly. The inside of the cabin was spotless. From the kitchen to the bathroom, everything was very clean. We did plan our trip at the end of summer but the weather was hot and humid. The nights did cool down a bit but without A/C it was a touch stuffy inside. Oh, and be sure to take your garbage to the dumpster every night or you will be aroused out of bed by a gang of raccoons! LOL!!! My mistake!!! The outdoor activities were amazing!!! The row boat was great to just get out on the lake and relax with the kids as my wife sat on the dock reading her book. The fishing from the pier was great. We caught some keeper size fish but we did toss them back for others to catch. The nightly fires down by the lake were great. We sat down there and just let the time pass. The kids and I laid on the pier each night and watched the blanket of stars overhead with the occasional satellite passing over. The attractions around the cabin were great. There are many restaurants and bars only minutes from the cabin as well as gas stations and the grocery store that we visited every day! Minocqua and Eagle River are just a short drive from the cabin which added a bit more variety to our stay. Both of those towns are fantastic and have lots to offer but it was nice to get back to the cabin after a day of tourist stuff and leave the hustle and bustle behind. All in all, this trip was perfect! The cabin was awesome and the Northwoods were spectacular! I would recommend this cabin to anyone!"Guest: Jim S.

"My wife and I recently returned from a wonderful week of rest and relaxation in St. Germain. We have spent many weeks "up north" and are always looking for a place we could call our favorite. A few of the previous properties we rented were nice but always had a negative or two usually relating to cleanliness and maintenance. We are excited to say we finally found a perfect spot! We researched the property through VRBO and all of the information displayed is accurate and honest. The reservation process was simple and the owner Scott could not have been more helpful. The price was very fair and even less than some of the other locations we have stayed at that were not nearly as nice. Upon arrival we were promptly met by the owners father who welcomed us and offered any assistance we needed. The location is secluded but close to town which was perfect for us. The home was very clean and fresh smelling, and looked to have been remodeled in the recent past. Bath and bedrooms were large and well furnished and all appliances were newer and efficient. The sun deck and screened porch were great places to relax and enjoy the beautiful lake view. The owner Scott called us to make sure all was well and we had the opportunity to meet him and see for ourselves the pride and concern he has for his rental home. He sincerely cares for his renters well being and I am confident he would do his utmost to make the vacation special. We have already booked our next years vacation and look forward to another wonderful week in St. Germain! Thank you to Scott for allowing us the opportunity!"Guest: Thomas C.

The Treasury Department plans to sell its remaining stake in General Motors over the next 15 months, allowing the automaker to shed the stigma of being partly owned by the U.S. government.
GM agreed to buy 200 million shares of its stock from the government for $5.5 billion. The government agreed to sell its remaining 300 million shares by early 2014.
The government got the stock back in 2009 in exchange for a $49.5 billion bailout designed to save the company, which was at risk of running out of money. Once the buyback is complete, the Treasury will have recovered more than half of the bailout funds. But taxpayers are still are likely to lose billions of dollars.
A look at some of the major steps taken by GM and the government:
— April 2010: GM repays $6.7 billion in loans to the government. GM pays $800 million in dividends and interest over time.
— November 2010: Government gets $13.5 billion from GM initial public stock offering.
— December 2010: GM buys $2.1 billion of its preferred stock from the government.
— December 2012: GM and Treasury officials announce deal to end government stake in the company.

SurveyUSA shows Bob Corker leading Harold Ford, Jr. by 2 points in a recent poll sponsored by WBIR-TV. The poll was taken this past weekend. Corker is making gains in West Tennessee and among middle income likely voters. The politically obsessed will find the breakdown of the poll interesting. It can be found here. This remains a very close race.
I'm sure...and Katherine Harris is ahead in the polls too.
I'm sure...and Katherine
I'm sure...and Katherine Harris is ahead in the polls too.
I'd say she is ahead in their polls. They probably only take results from their Republican base of voters, and my guess is, the vote would still be close. I would bet their polls are fairly accurate because they probably won't let legal voters in heavily Democratic districts vote.
they probably won't let
they probably won't let legal voters in heavily Democratic districts vote
In Florida? Surely you jest.
Actually, Harris's poll was a straw poll that you had to pay $25 to vote in. There are photos of her helping a six year old vote for her. So maybe she has a lock on the elementary school bloc, but it's doubtful that many adults will vote for her.
Interesting. The bad news
Interesting. The bad news for Corker can be found in the "ideology" column under "moderates". And possibly in the East Tennessee column. Who would have ever guessed Ford would doing that well in East Tennessee? Not me.
If Ford wins moderates by
If Ford wins moderates by that margin and does that well in East TN, he wins easily. No way Corker is beating him in West Tennessee. Something is arrary in that poll.
Maybe the poll question went
Maybe the poll question went something like this:
Will you vote for Harold Ford, who will side with Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy against America and with the terrorists, or Bob Corker, who will lower your taxes and keep America safe from terrorists who want to kill you and illegal immigrants who want to take your job?
the REAL goofy part,,,
shows that 23% of African-Americans are voting for Bob Corker. HUH???
No, this poll has SERIOUS flaws, and I don't trust it.
Of Polls & Debates
I was curious to see last night's debate given that Mr. Corker is the only person running for Senate that declined to participate in the Meet the Press debate series. After watching last night's debate, it is quite evident why Mr. Corker does not want to debate on the national stage...and is therefore unworthy of my vote.
All the best,
Bill Pittman
I was only kinda surprised
Woke up this morning to find the poll and I was only slightly shocked. I am a huge Ford supporter, but we have to remember that the other national polls have shown this race a dead heat in almost all were within the margin of error. In this case the margin was 4.2% which means according to this poll Ford can also be ahead as much as 4% when you add and subrtact the margins from both sides. There is no doubt that this will be a close race. I personally prefer polls that sample 800 - 1000 voters. I believe this poll sampled 523. The 23% black vote for Corker is flat out laughable. No way will Mr. Corker gather that much support among African Americans. The latest Gallup poll showed Corker only gathering close to 3% of the black vote. Under 5% is all the Corker camp is figuring into thier equation.
As for the gains in East TN, I believe that Corker has the upper hand, but it is clear Ford has a good base. One higher than most democrats in the past. One very interesting fact you have to look at is the refusal on the Corker camp to debate in East TN. They know the lead they have there is being held together by a thin thread. There is no way they want the people of East TN to see the slaughter that happend last night in Chattanooga.
This is a close race and according to polls Ford had erased an anywhere from 16-25 point lead which Mr. Corker once held. This is a defenite sign that Corker has a problem. The people of TN are making thier voices heard. Ford supporters and the camp can not let up. Efforts need to be stepped up. We have come this far and it would be a shame if such a good man and campaign comes up 2% short.
WATE Poll
WATE reported last night that the unscientific poll on their website gave Ford the victory in the debate 82% to 18% for Borg Corker. I did not look at the numbers myself but that doesn't seem to bode well for Borg Corker. OTOH, it now makes sense why he was reluctant to debate, especially nationally. I can see him not wanting to show off his opponents vitality, intelligence, grasp of the issues, and ability to think on his feet. As near as I can figure the only weapons Borg Corker had to fight those things are, he is really really rich and, Big Jim likes him. (Which I suppose makes him a viable one for one replacement for Frist.)
If the very Constitution upon which our nation is founded was not at stake, the idea of Borg Corker as a senator would be a gut busting joke. Hopefully, not too many municipalities have Diebold voting machings.
It is impossible to defeat an ignorant man in argument.
- William G. McAdoo
Borg Corker
Borg Corker? Heh. That's a new one.
I picture Corker as Locutis with the affect of a countrypolitan hustler.
"Y'all goan be assimilated, now. Y'hear?"
Forget patriotism. Instapundit.com is the last refuge of scoundrels.
18% for Borg Corker...Borg
18% for Borg Corker...
Borg Corker... I like that.
RNC and NRSC internal polls are much worse for Corker than these
Why else do you think the RNC and the NRSC are here spending millions in a state Bush carried TWO years ago and which the CURRENT Senate Majority Leader hails from?
The internal polls will not be released, primarily because no one would believe how far behind Borg Corkscrew really is. Keep on building Bob.
Oh, please...
In 2004, for months at a time, Survey USA showed Bush up 20 points in Tennessee. Now, nobody is disputing that Bush won here, but it was by a six-point-slimmer margin than SurveyUSA predicted.
Here's a link to the Survey USA October '04 results for TN from Wayback:
Bush is shown winning 58 to 39, with 2% undecided, a six-point skew towards Bush from the final results, which were more like 56-42.
Last I heard, WBIR-TV was not exactly a model news outlet when it came to "fair and balanced." Although I'll grant you, at least they haven't hired Steve Gill...
Comparing the 2 New Polls
Poll released yesterday has Ford at at 7% lead– Ford 51% - Corker 44%. Hamilton Beattie & Staff conducted the survey among 800 likely voters statewide from October 2 to October 4, 2006. The margin of error was 3.3%
This poll was commisioned by the DNSC. While it is an internal poll it follows the trend of most other polls. The Corker Camp and RNC have on a number of occations refused to publish their own internal polls. This is because the numbers were not good. If they are not to their likings they get back to work and try and pick-up ground. When results come back in favor internal polls are published. These firms that are hired to conduct the polls do their job well and accuratly, otherwise they would not be in business. This poll when compared to the SurveyUSA poll is different, but it shows you the dynamics of the people of TN. This poll was taken over the same time period and with a larger sample rate. I would still like to see the sample rate at 1000.
When you take these two polls and average them, Ford has 48.% while Corker has 46% of the support with a 3.75% margin of error. Still too close to call. I look forward to the coming weeks and Nov 7th
Look at our states voting history
The media seems to forget that TN historically went Democratic in elections prior to "W." We have a Democratic Governor and a State Democratic Congress. As mentioned by a previous post, 43% of voters in TN sided with Kerry in the last election. The moderates independents, and some democrats sided with Bush because of the view that the war was his to fix. Soccer moms and single women statistically support democrats including here in TN. The last elections saw the shift because of Clinton's affair belief that Republicans would keep us safer. The debate as to who would keep us safer has shifted from Democrats to Republicans. In a poll released today, 57% said Democrats would keep us safer vs. 41% for Republicans. We must not fear the Republican party coming out to vote. They have always come out to vote. The issue has been the Democrats not coming out to vote. Both Parties have their bases that give them their automatic 34-37 % of support and will vote the party line regardless. The ones who will change this election are the moderates and independents. It always comes down to these voters. Don't buy into the medias hoopla about evangelicals staying home and shifting the election. These voters are part of the automatic 34-37% and will not alter the election.
Conservative Democrats have thrived in this state over the years, a shift that we see re-emerging when it comes to national politics. One must remember. In 2000 Gore lost this state because he took it for granted. He assumed he would get the vote since it was his home state. Clinton's romantic escapades did not sit well with Conservative Democrats nor the woman voters. That loss of support is what swung the election. This state is more democratic than the media leads you to believe. Look at the facts.

Plane and simple, Tennessee is blue. Scandals and a war is what changed the trend, but only temporarily.
Plane and simple, Tennessee
Plane and simple, Tennessee is blue.
No, it's not. But it's not red either. What it is overall is moderate, and usually when given a chance to vote for what it perceives as a moderate candidate (1994 Senate race the exception), that's who wins the state.
That's why Bredesen won (well, ok, also because folks perceived - correctly - Van Hilliary as a total ninny). I think a Ford win would in part just signal the state moving back to the middle where it's most comfortable.
P.S. Lamar! was a moderate when he ran for governor. He only moved right later to jump on the bandwagon and take advantage of the times. Which is one reason I have zero respect for him.
Agree and Disagree
I agree that this state is moderate, but when you look at the stats, which speak for themselves, This state is full of moderate democrats. Now being a moderate myself and running a moderate political website, I am the first to admit that I can see myself voting either party if the canidate is right, but my values venture toward the democrats. As a moderate democrat, I admit that I have some republican values. I grew up in Texas. Gun control and Captial Punishment I venture to the right. The fact that moderate democrats win in this state time and time again speaks to the mood of the state. When you break it down, in the end, this state is blue. Now a blue TN is not the same as a blue MA but it is still blue. There is a difference, but more people in this state have historicaly gone to the left rather the far right.
Agreed Prt2
Agreed on Van Hillary and Lamar. Corker is trying to pull the same swap. He ran as a moderate in 1994, ran as a partial moderate during the senate race (it depened on when you saw him) and after the primary ran as a far right concervative and is now trying to run as a moderate again. When he annouced he would be a more independet candidate than Harold Ford a few days ago, I just about busted a gut. This flip flop political stance is one main reason why I have little respect for him.
You'll note, you never hear
You'll note, you never hear Corker admit to being Commissioner of F&A under Sundquist.
I'd love to see a town hall questioner or a TV moderator hammer him on that one... "Mayor Corker, as commissioner of Finance and Administration for Governor Sundquist's administration, what role did you have in managing TennCare, and what steps did you take to keep the system solvent?"

China Probes Yum Brands' KFC over Safety of Chicken Products
*Images and text courtesy Reuters
(Reuters) - Yum Brands Inc's fast-food chain KFC was supplied with chicken in China that contained excessive amounts of antibiotics, said food safety authorities investigating allegations of tainted KFC products.
The finding by the Shanghai Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) deals a blow to KFC's reputation in China, where it is facing fierce competition from the likes of Taiwanese-owned fried chicken chain Dico and Japanese-style noodle chain Ajisen (China) Holdings Ltd. Yum Brands has forecast a drop in same store China sales in the fourth quarter.
Eight of the 19 batches of chicken samples Yum Brands sent to a testing laboratory in 2010 and 2011 contained overly high levels of antibiotics, the SFDA said in a statement on its Website late on Thursday.
An investigation is underway to determine whether Yum Brands had taken corrective measures at that time, and the Louisville, Kentucky-based company may face harsh penalties if the probe showed laws had been violated, the SFDA said.
Shares in Yum Brands have slumped 4 percent since December 18 when China's state television CCTV reported that some poultry suppliers in eastern Shandong province had fed chickens with anti-viral drugs and hormones to accelerate their growth.
The SFDA is looking into the CCTV report and has not released its findings yet, but authorities in Shandong have already shut two chicken farms in eastern China, including one that supplied KFC and McDonald's Corp, the official Shanghai Daily newspaper reported on Thursday.
Officials at Yum Brands in China could not be immediately reached for comment.
KFC's subsidiary in China has pledged to cooperate with the authorities, while McDonald's wrote on its official microblog that its chicken and raw materials pass through independent, third-party laboratory tests.
Shares in Yum Brands, which also owns Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, closed 1 percent lower at $69.49 in New York on Thursday.
China has been trying to stamp out health violations that have dogged the country's food sector amid reports of fake cooking oil, tainted milk and even exploding watermelons. In 2008, milk laced with the industrial chemical melamine killed at least six children and sickened nearly 300,000.

GE and the Government of Ontario last week announced a new $40 million Grid IQ Innovation Center, the first smart grid center of its kind for GE in Canada, to be located in Markham, Ontario. The 200,000 square foot center will develop and manufacture grid modernization technologies and encompass a global testing and simulation laboratory. The building is expected to open in July 2012.
The announcement was made by Minister of Economic Development and Trade Sandra Pupatello, Minister of Energy Brad Duguid, GE Canada President and CEO Elyse Allan and Juan Macias, general manager, smart substations—digital energy for GE Energy Services. The $40 million project will be supported by a grant of $7.9 million from the Government of Ontario.
The new center builds on a memorandum of understanding (MOU) GE signed with the Ontario government in September 2009 to partner and invest long-term within the province to establish new or expanded centers of technology and advanced manufacturing. Under the MOU, GE recently announced the establishment of the company's first Digital Pathology Center of Excellence in Toronto and a $100 million investment in the GE Motors, Peterborough facility.
GE's Grid IQ Innovation Center will drive research and development, create new innovation-related jobs—including expanded manufacturing—and facilitate global collaboration. GE will add approximately 146 new jobs over the next four years. Additional indirect jobs in high-tech research, design manufacturing and construction are anticipated, beginning when the center breaks ground for its new building this spring.
"Through this important partnership, we are creating jobs and establishing centers of excellence for Ontarians in high-growth sectors of the economy," said Minister Pupatello. "The global demand for clean technologies is increasing and today, we're taking another step forward in establishing Ontario as a market leader."
"A smart grid will greatly enhance the reliability of Ontario's electricity system and provide real choices to Ontarians in managing their electricity consumption," said Minister Duguid. "This investment reaffirms our commitment to creating a strong, reliable, clean energy system while cleaning up the air we breathe for future generations."
"GE has been a valued member of our business community with its own 125 year history of excellence and innovation," said Markham Mayor Frank Scarpitti. "We're proud that GE has chosen to expand in Markham with this exciting new innovation center."
"GE is investing in a better energy future for Canada and the world," said Macias. "Our new center will give inventors and problem solvers the resources to accelerate development and testing of new solutions, while expanding GE's smart grid support and manufacturing capabilities. With a highly skilled, educated workforce and multi-lingual residents, Markham is an ideal location for GE's Grid IQ Innovation Center."
"Today's announcement is an excellent example of how business and government can partner to develop innovative technologies that address Ontario's needs while having applicability to sustainable energy demands globally," said Elyse Allan, president and CEO, GE Canada.
With global energy demand forecasted to increase 75 percent by 2030 and more than 40 percent of the world's current environmental emissions resulting from electricity generation, consumers and governments alike are calling for new ideas to improve our current infrastructure. GE's Grid IQ Innovation Center will focus on delivering solutions to improve system efficiency and reliability and to protect and automate the power system. Specific activities planned for the center include leading edge research and development in substation and distribution automation, electrical system protection and control, microgrid control and cyber security.
The smart grid center is intended to become a Canadian destination for companies and countries seeking to upgrade their energy systems. A testing and simulation laboratory can be utilized by global utilities to learn how the center's technologies can help their specific infrastructures with simulations and testing before deployment.
New products and solutions created at the site will be supported by manufacturing. GE's Grid IQ Innovation Center will include expanded manufacturing facilities for GE's Smart Grid Automation products, which will relocate from Calgary, Alberta.

We got our hot ladies all lined for you to drool over. They had their asses bouncing up in the air for your pleasure. They got real loose towards the end and showed us how a real party should go down. Their lips were wet and being tease as they explored every part of each others bodies. The sex maniacs went back to our crib too get freaky. Pauline and her super vixens showed us there banging bodies. You want more of them after seeing them in hot and sticky action. They have all the right curves and use them like they should. It was a party to be apart of and ended with blasts of pleasure.

I had an emergency situation and had a nanny sent over for the following day. I am so pleased with the service provided by Morningside Nannies. My son immediately fell in love with the nanny assigned to us. We couldn't be happier.
Objective and professional with an obvious personal touch, small but important comments about each person.
We've placed ads in newspapers on two occasions and have gone through an Au Pair program twice. This has been our best experience by far!
I trust Morningside Nannies & their research into their nannies more than any of the other seven agencies we talked with. The checks are reliable and the quality of nannies was superb. The process of finding a nanny was handled quite professionally.
During our search for our current nanny I used several well-known services in Houston. I found that Morningside Nannies had the highest- quality applicants in town.
I have used two other agencies, both were difficult to work with and did not live up to their promises and Morningside Nannies did.
Morningside was by far the best as compared to the other services we used!
The first person you recommended met my needs perfectly.
I am delighted with the outcome, and enjoyed the process.
Morningside Nannies was far more professional and focused than the other agencies. They listened to my request and responded promptly. I feel very fortunate to have such superb childcare and appreciate the luxury of returning to work with-out worry. Many thanks go to Morningside Nannies for that.
A child's first visit to the dentist can bring out the worst in him or her. The fear of the unknown can spark cries, whines and even refusals to sit in that big, scary dentist chair. Learning how to calm your child's temperament, put those fears to rest and preparing him or her for the first trip can make the experience much more bearable for you and your little one.
Many parents may be surprised to know that a child's first visit to the dentist should be by the first birthday. In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that children visit a pediatric dentist by age one, especially those who are at risk of early childhood cavities. National studies continue to show that pre-school aged children are showing more cavities in recent history. By the age of four, more than one in four children in the United States have had at least one cavity, many developing as early as 2 years old.
Parents must decide for themselves, in consultation with a dentist, when it is best to make the first trip; however, according to Christy Monson, retired family therapist and author of "Love, Hugs and Hope When Scary Things happen," as soon as children are preschool or kindergarten age, they are old enough to understand that dentists will help them protect and care for their teeth.
"Give the child the experience of visiting with the dentist so he or she will know that he or she is a friend," suggests Monson.
Before asking your child to sit in the dentist's chair, prepare him or her for the visit. Ask your librarian for books about visiting the dentist, suggests Monson, or check out any videos the library may have. An Internet search may also reveal videos about visiting the dentist, too, in addition to any resources your dentist may have on hand.
"When you have gathered your information, talk with your child, read the books and watch the videos," says Monson. "Children do much better if they know what's coming and exactly what will happen to them."
Instead of focusing on potential pain the child may endure, focus on the positives. "Let them know the positives about their visit so they have something to look forward to," suggests Monson. "If they need more intrusive work beyond just a check-up, then discuss the details of that experience at the time it's going to happen, not before."
Before the first visit, it may also help calm your child if you play out a scenario so he or she knows what to expect. Make it a game and ask your child to be the patient and you play the role as the dentist. Count your little one's teeth or make up a silly song as you examine his or her mouth. Break out a toothbrush and have your child show "the dentist" how to brush those teeth. You can even hold up a mirror to show your child how the dentist will look at his or her mouth.
As you walk into the dentist's office, it's important to not make a big deal about the experience so your child is not filled with anxiety and nervousness. Instead, remind him or her of the fun games you played in preparation for the dentist and the discussion you had about how dentists keep your teeth healthy.
If your little one shows signs of distress, Monson suggests the following relaxation techniques:
Positive phrases will help calm your child as he or she climbs into the dentist's chair, too. Phrases such as "the dentist is your friend" and "the dentist will keep your teeth healthy" will help reassure your little one during the visit. "You will want to use phrases that speak directly to the child's fears," says Monson. "Discuss the things the child is afraid of and create positive statements to counteract those fears."← Best Walking Trails in Houston | Finding Healthy Fare in Houston →

In a time crunch you provided me with two excellent applicants within hours!
We used two other services and an online service. Morningside Nannies had the most highly qualified candidates, one of whom we selected.
I described the person I wanted and that's what you found for me. Thank you.
The quality of candidates was very good. It was a difficult decision but Amy has proven to be a wonderful choice. We could not have found a better person. I would recommend your services to anyone looking for a nanny.
Morningside was by far the best as compared to the other services we used!
Objective and professional with an obvious personal touch, small but important comments about each person.
As a new mom I was nervous about hiring a nanny, but now I couldn't be more pleased. I've sung your praises to everyone I know.
Compared to other agencies Morningside presented a higher caliber of candidate.

This started out with a blast of incense and hard candy. The citrus mixed with other notes to make something I can only describe as PEZ brand candy. After 5min. the candy died down some and warmer Cloves, incense and powder came to the front. I like it overall, definitely a feminine though.

Alliance Group makes net loss of $50.8m
Relevant offers
Your Newspaper
Southland sheepmeat processor and exporter Alliance Group has reported a $50.8 million net loss for the year ending September 30 - its first operating loss in 20 years.
As a result, its farmer suppliers will not receive any distribution payments this year.
The decision to cease sheepmeat operations at the Mataura plant, which set the company back $13.5m in restructuring costs, contributed to the loss.
Alliance Group chairman Owen Poole said the loss reflected a substantial change in New Zealand's sheepmeat export markets because of the widespread economic crisis and a strong New Zealand dollar.
"We accept that many exporters and processors like ourselves did not respond to the changing economic environment fast enough and, in an intensely competitive industry, continued to pay too much for livestock for too long," he said.
Despite the loss, the company had made several investments to help with costs, including a $15m upgrade of the beef processing at Mataura, he said.
The company anticipated a much better financial result next year, Mr Poole said.
Federated Farmers Southland meat and fibre spokesman and Alliance supplier Andrew Morrison said he did not expect to see such a significant loss.
Farmers were likely to criticise the company for poor performance but at the end of the day the money ended up in the farmers' pockets because they were paid more for their livestock, he said.
It would be interesting to see if Southland meat companies would work closer together, as suggested in the red meat sector strategy, he said.
The strategy addressed aligned procurement and market co-ordination. "It'll be good to see if they've got the appetite to address either of those issues," he said.
Beef + Lamb New Zealand economic service executive director Rob Davison said Southland processors were forecast to pay about $20 less per head of prime lamb next season.
Blue Sky Meats also reported a net loss after tax, of $449,000, for the year ending March 31.
