Many adults living in Skilled Nursing Facilities are faced with poor and uncontrolled oral health. Unfortunately many medications mixed with decreased effective daily oral hygiene create rampant decay, broken teeth and periodontal disease.
We have developed a program that is prevention based by providing routine care by our Registered Dental Hygienist. Dental cleanings and assessments will be provided every three months (or monthly per your request).
Utilizing our Virtually Connected Dentistry concept allows our dentist to review the information our Registered Dental Hygienist provides. Most families and facilities depending upon each individual's health and needs may opt between palliative care-ensuring no pain or infection is present; or complete restorative care. Our focus is each person individualized needs.
We also believe strongly in the need for interdisciplinary care-bringing medical and dental together. Our TeleDental Imaging program provides x-rays and assessments for all residents, whether they have teeth or not. These images will be available in each residents records for attending physicians in order to have access to reports and concerning oral conditions that may be affecting physical health.

The Blueair Classic 403 Air Purifier combines the best of mechanical and electrostatic technologies to offer the highest quality, best performance and quietest room air purifier on the market today. The Blueair Classic 403 Air Purifier effectively captures the smallest of particles in less time than that of other air purifiers on the market. With the quietest operation in the industry, a very energy-efficient, award-winning design and a 5 year limited warranty, Blueair air purifiers are simply the best choice for anyone who cares about clean, pure air.
Quietest units in the industry: Sophisticated materials and precision engineering allow the Blueair 403 to deliver more clean air at a faster rate, with less fan noise. Blueair's low-density HEPASilent™ filters clean larger volumes of air more quietly than any other unit in the industry. Even the housing is designed with quiet operation in mind, replacing sound-sonant plastic with noise-muffling steel, thus reducing fan noise.
Patented HEPASilent™ Filter Technology: A revolutionary combination of advanced filter media and an encapsulated ion particle charging chamber makes it possible for the Blueair 403 air purification system to achieve better results than either mechanical or electrostatic technology alone. Blueair's patented HEPASilent filter technology is proven effective at capturing 99.97% of the smallest 0.1 micron particles. Standard HEPA filters measure efficiency at 0.3 microns. While a typical HEPA filter removes 99.97% of particles 0.3 microns or larger, Blueair's HEPASilent filters remove 99.97% of particles as small as 0.1 microns in size on it's lowest fan speed.
How It Works:
Easy to Use and Maintain
Plug it in, select the speed setting, and forget it. The Blueair 403 works so quietly on its lowest speed, at first you may find yourself wondering if it's turned on. Just check the bright blue power-on light. Blueair filters require no weekly additives or filter washing. The grilles and powder-coated steel exterior are easy to wipe clean, and won't pick up grime and oily stains the way plastics can. When the filter needs to be replaced (twice yearly), just open the lid, lift out the old filter and drop the new one in. No screws, hooks or tools and less than one minute of your time are required.

Jacob should be here tonight. Not enjoying this at all.
Jacob should be here tonight. Not enjoying this at all.
Hmmm, maybe they were really good tonight and I'm lashing out because of hockey withdrawl.
Or maybe this was the worst show of the Top 10. Yes...even worse the Lionel Ritchie night.
Theresa's performances were lack-lustre and uninspired. Kalan's were safe. This final was terribly boring. I adore Theresa but the teeny-boppers will propel Kalan to the title.
Well... not a problem getting through on either line tonight (from Nova Scotia). I was disappointed to hear Born to be Wild... seems Kalan has sang that (several times) before. *yawn*
Wasn't that Kimberly Locke in the audience? They should have passed the mike over to her...
Yup, it was Kimberly Locke in the audience. I was at the show today and during one of the breaks they introduced her. Too bad she didn't get up to sing; the show was just as boring in person as it was on TV and it needed a little spark like K-Lo.
After Jacob left last week, I wanted Kalan or Theresa to inspire me to vote but their performances were so predictable and boring, I just can't bring myself to pick up the phone. I must say that Kalan's final song did give me goosebumps but about 1/2 way through I was wondering when the hell it was going to end. :rolleyes
This show felt so cheap tonight. I mean, for Pete's sake, what was with all the half dressed chicks sitting behind the judges? Yuck. :phhht
Was also disgusted with the plug for the silly "star" show following.
And though Sass was dressed modestly tonight her comment about Kalan being a sweet boy and yet so wild or something... made me ill. That's kinda creepy, ol lady.
Cheap tv tonight.
And so not in line with the two singers remaining. Cheesy Idol song aside, I thought these two showed dignity and class that was a cut above what I think the Idol francise is all about. I thought it was pretty cool (and not a little brave), of Kalan to sing a Christian song like that. And Theresa is so classy doing what she does best. They are both better than the show.
Alexz Johnson (Instant Star) didn't seem to be too bright (pardon the pun)... the interview was painful to watch on the tube. They must have locked the doors to keep a the audience "captive".
HI all,
my thoughts on tonight.
Agreed, a boring finale, but when Jacob left we knew it would be. Bo Ring. At least Kalan tried to put some excitement into it.
In my opinion:
Kalan's take on the show's song was really good.
he should win for sure.
Theresa is sweet but oh so dull. Yes, that shoulder is about all that moves on her. No offence, but ugh.
The judges have completely turned on Kalan for some reason. I think it is cruel.
I miss Jacob!!!! So much!
Did you see how Jacob bolted up to the stage at the end to hug K and T?? He is so fun.
I really disliked the judges tonight. All of them actually.
Dull, dull, dull. Prediction. Theresa will win. She shouldn't though. I think.
Anybody voting? I'm voting for Kalan, getting in about half the time.
Sigh. Once agaiin, I miss Jacob!!

Call it a double shot of "American Idol" by the Bay.
Having endured the latest crop of contenders during the American Idols Live! tour stop on Sunday at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, fans of the popular TV series had the chance to experience the original model — "American Idol" champ No. 1, Kelly Clarkson — on Wednesday at the Sleep Train Pavilion in Concord.
And the two experiences couldn't have been more different.
While Idols Live! was an uneven, perplexing affair, which left one wondering how the Fox TV show continues to draw high ratings, Clarkson's outing was an absolute joy to behold.
The 30-year-old Texan simply gets better with each passing year. Now 10 years removed from her "Idol" victory, during the inaugural season of the show in 2002, Clarkson boasts an incredibly diverse and appealing songbook as well as the know-how to get the most out of her material.
Yes, without a doubt, voters got it right that first year.
Clarkson's most impressive trait is her ability to connect with the audience. In Concord, she was magnetic, grabbing the crowd's attention with the fun first number ("My Life Would Suck Without You") and only tightening her grasp as she moved through a variety of numbers during her hour-plus set.
Yes, it only lasted a little over an hour, which probably didn't make some fans happy. That's understandable. Yet, the upside to the short set was that it was completely devoid of filler.
Plus, she was able to showcase her many different musical sides in that time frame — and each one seemed to please the fans equally. That's no small accomplishment when you're talking about as diverse a crowd as the one in Concord, which drew fans from six to 60 years old.
Backed by an eight-piece band, which included three female backing vocalists, Clarkson went from "My Life Would Suck Without You" — a love song for the 21st century, if there ever was one — right into the rich power ballad "Behind These Hazel Eyes." She'd then follow with two standout track from last year's "Stronger" — "I Forgive You" and "Dark Side" — before jumping into a great cover of "We Are Young" (the smash hit from the band fun., featuring singer Janelle Monae).
And she definitely was having fun on this night. Clarkson was in incredibly good spirits, perhaps because she'd just spent two off-days from the tour exploring Northern California.
"I've been in Napa," said the singer, who was thrilled that her tour itinerary allowed her the time to sample the offerings from the local wineries. "Best job ever!"
The winery jaunt, of course, was only one of many things that have made her occupation so rewarding. Others include singing the national anthem at this year's Super Bowl (which earned her rave reviews), staying active on TV shows (such as "The Voice" and "Duets"), cowriting a song for boy-band One Direction ("Tell Me a Lie") and expanding her fan base to include country music fans.
She accomplished the latter with "Don't You Wanna Stay," a duet with Jason Aldean featured on the mega-popular country star's 2010 album, "My Kinda Party." That song was a highlight of the Concord show, as the soprano crooned her part alongside a giant hologram of Aldean.
Clarkson then took a bit of a gamble — and it paid off big time. She has a tradition of asking fans, at the meet-and-greets before shows, what song they think she should cover that night. One fan at Concord wanted to hear her do Katy Perry's recent Top 10 hit "Wide Awake," and Clarkson was game. From what I can tell, it was the first time Clarkson had performed the cut and the off-the-cuff rendition was electric.
The show was actually a co-headlining date with the Fray, which, of course, raises one question: In what part of the universe does that moderately interesting piano-rock troupe deserve equal billing with Clarkson? Maybe in the band's native Colorado, but certainly not in Concord, where fans simply endured the Fray's set while waiting for Clarkson to take the stage.

cubbiesgirl99's review published on Letterboxd :
I had no desire to see this one. To me, it seemed like it would be really lame and annoying. Shockingly enough, it was quite the opposite. The premise of a female bounty hunter was cool, especially given that she was going after the guy who took her virginity years ago. The cast was great. Heigl did a great job IMO. She made the role believable not because she was a bad ass, but because she was a female trying to do something new with her life and proving it to be awkward. Overall, it was very enjoyable.

DENHAM SPRINGS — Fantasy became reality for many children as Venessa Lewis, "The Louisiana Mermaid," propelled herself through North Park's AQUA PARDS facility on June 9 using a mermaid tail.
"She's real," said Gemma Bertone, 7, who gripped an autographed photo of Lewis, a small starfish and a shell tightly in her hands after meeting the nationally recognized mermaid for the first time. Lewis handed out the treats to more than 100 children who waited patiently in the hot sun to talk with her, touch her tail and marvel over the legendary aquatic creature.
Lewis, who spent more than three hours at AQUA PARDS, has made only a few area appearances — all for free — since acquiring her custom-designed, silicon neoprene mermaid tail, which is fully functional in the water, she said. The costume was created by the same designer who created a mermaid tail for Lady Gaga and Flo Rida, Lewis said. Lewis has also garnered national attention for being The Louisiana Mermaid and often making appearances unannounced.
Gemma became intrigued with mermaids after watching the television show, H2O: Just Add Water, which tells the tale of three girls who live on the Australian Gold Coast and are suddenly transformed into super powered mermaids, her mother, Nicole Bertone said. For Gemma, the trip to North Park was a defining moment that solidified her hunch that mermaids are "real."
"It feels real," Jillian Allen, 5, said of Lewis's tail. "It feels like someone caught her in a net."
"It felt rubbery," 9-year-old Katelyn Martina added.
Makenzie Averett said her dream came true when she saw Lewis. Makenzie, 6, said she's always dreamed of becoming a mermaid and still couldn't believe she got to meet one.
Mackenzie's grandmother, Becky Moore, said Mackenzie has her own custom-designed mermaid costume which she uses to "swim in the tub."
"She's beautiful, and she's really sweet," Becky Moore said of Lewis after spending time talking with her. "She really went above and beyond for these kids."
Lewis, a Denham Springs resident, said she's always had an affinity for mermaids, and often wondered what it would be like to swim in a mermaid's tail.
"I've always been that geeky kid that liked mermaids, fairies, and mythological characters," the 36 year old said, adding that she's been a swimmer her entire life.
When she became a parent, Lewis said she wanted to pass that magic on to her own children.
Lewis is now spreading the magic to other children, many of whom are fascinated by her mermaid tail and a special necklace she wears around her neck that she says "allows her to get her legs back."
Lewis' first appearance was at Spectrum Fitness in Denham Springs, a health club to which she belongs, and the rest — as they say — is history.
"People just loved it," Lewis said. "Parents were taking pictures and the kids were just so happy."
Lewis gained immediate attention through her Facebook page, which details where she will appear next.
"I'm just enjoying it," Lewis said. "I'm glad I'm able to make people happy."
While Lewis said she hopes to make appearances at more area venues, she hasn't committed to doing birthday parties, something people have continuously requested, she said. With two children, Layden, 6; and Londynn, 1; the birthday parties would "take away from family time," Lewis said.
Lewis said she hopes to work with the Louisiana Office of Tourism to promote Louisiana waterways and coastal preservation.
When she's not in the water, Lewis is busy running her graphic design business, and is an adjunct professor at the Manship School of Journalism at LSU, she said.
"It was a nice surprise," said PARDS Manager Paige Fredrick. "She's definitely brought in a lot of kids."
The park was so packed June 9, that the gates were about to close just after noon because the water park was at full capacity," Fredrick said.
"I think it's just a good experience for the kids," Fredrick said. "At this age, fantasy is still important to them."
"It's not in Disney World. It's right here at a local park," Fredrick said.

Żuławy Wiślane
Żuławy Wiślane (fens, plural from "żuława") is the alluvial delta area of Vistula, in large part reclaimed artificially by means of dykes, pumps, channels (over 17000 km of total length) and extensive drainage system. In shape similar to reversed triangle formed by branching of Vistula into two separate rivers, Leniwka and Nogat at its height, confined by rivers themselves, and closed by Mierzeja Wiślana at its base. It is a deforested, agricultural plain that covers 1000 square km.
There is no definite statement for the origin of name "Żuławy". Term is believed to be derived from word "solov" in language of the Baltic tribe Prussian or Polish noun "żuł" for mud.
Prehistory and initial settlement[edit]
The first traces of settlements reach back to the period between 2500 and 1700 BC, being proved by excavation sites from Niedźwiedziówka, Lubieszewo, Ostaszewo, Kaczynos, Kończewice, Krasnołęka, Lasowice Wielkie or Lichnowy. They appear to have been of impermanent form as they served presumably for fishery and amber acquirement. The range and density of settlements had not changed in a course of the next centuries until around the ninth century, when emergence of the Baltic tribe Estowie boosted occupation of Żuławy Wiślane. One, the best known is Truso, a large fishery-trading center in present Janów Pomorski near Elbląg. Before the thirteenth century population was generally restricted to morainic heights around the delta, in the surroundings of Gdańsk, Miłobądzu, Gorzędzieju, Lichnowach and Węgrach (the Slavic people), and alongside lake Drużno and Wysoczyźnie Elbląskiej (for Old Prussians).
In the 13th century by contrast, the local population experienced a rapid growth brought about by mixed Slavic-Prussian colonization. In effect, new villages had emerged, and from them many have survived up to now under unchanged names. In a space of one hundred years, the Slavic settlements reached the line Płonia Wielka, Cedry Wielkie, Ostaszewo, Lubieszewo, Świerki, Malbork. On the other hand, Żuławy Wiślane drew numerous Dutch and German immigrants.
After the Partitions of Poland[edit]
In the aftermath of the Second Partition of Poland in 1793, Żuławy Wiślane were incorporated into the Prussian Kingdom as two districts: Danziger Niederung and Danziger Höhe. After Poland regained independence in 1918, Żuławy neither stayed in Germany nor were included in the new Polish state; instead, they became part of the Free City of Danzig. When Hitler came into power in Germany, the Free City of Danzig in due course fell into the influence zone of Germany. When World War II was finally over, Żuławy Wiślane was turned over to the Polish state in 1945. Almost all of the German inhabitants have been expelled, and the region has been resettled with Polish people.
While today the Kursenieki, also known as Kuršininkai are a nearly extinct Baltic ethnic group living along the Curonian Spit, in 1649 Kuršininkai settlement spanned from Memel (Klaipėda) to Danzig (Gdańsk), including in the area of the Nemunas Delta. The Kuršininkai were eventually assimilated by the Germans, except along the Curonian Spit where some still live. The Kuršininkai were considered Latvians until after World War I when Latvia gained independence from the Russian Empire, a consideration based on linguistic arguments. This was the rationale for Latvian claims over the Curonian Spit, Memel, and other territories of East Prussia which would be later dropped.
Żuławy is traditionally divided, according to the historical ownership, into:
- Żuławy Gdańskie - the western part, from Gdańsk to the Vistula
- Żuławy Malborskie or Żuławy Wielkie (Greater Zulawy) - the part between Vistula and its right arm Nogat
- Żuławy Elbląskie - on the eastern bank of the Nogat.
Terrain seems to look strikingly flat, but a topographic map states otherwise. For instance, land slopes down at some points below sea level. Depressions account for 28% of the overall area of the delta. The lowest point, 1.8 m below the surface, is located by Jezioro Drużno, at the state road 22 between Elbląg and Malbork in Raczki Elbląskie, making that terrain the lowest point in Poland. Second in size depression land area is placed around Nowy Dwór Gdański.
Surface water has lost its unique character due to impact of human activity. Water does not flow as freely as in other parts of the country, because most of the water is on equal altitude, and in fact its circulation is carried out artificially.
(..) Centuries of human activities are visible in the thousands of kilometers of canals and drainage ditches, a dense drainage network, the banking up of the rivers, pumping stations and the formation of a system of polders. In effect, the natural environment underwent such transformation that it would be difficult to find any fragments, which remain unchanged." (B.

PRIVATE education institutions have been cautioned against propagating religions other than Islam as it is a crime under the Syariah Penal Code Order.
During a briefing in Tutong on the law yesterday, legal experts from the Ministry of Religious Affairs and the Prime Minister's Office told 300 representatives of private education institutions it was an offence to propagate religions other than Islam to a Muslim or atheist.
The offence is punishable by a fine of up to $20,000, imprisonment for up to five years or both under Section 209.
Exposing beliefs and practices other than Islam to a Muslim child, or a child whose parents are atheist, carries the same punishment.

Jerusalem (Aug. 5)
Tonight, for the first time in centuries, the Jews of Jerusalem were forbidden to visit the Wailing Wall on the eve of Tisha B'Av. The curfew which has been in effect since the King David Hotel bombing, was not lifted despite appeals by the Jewish community to the British military authorities.
The only visitors to the Wailing Wall, where Jews come to pray on the traditional mourning day, were a dozen aged rabbis who live in the Old City and a group of Jewish journalists possessing the curfew-exempt "white press card."

Victor Rask earned his lucky bounce.
And he made the most of it.
The Calgary Hitmen centre coralled a bouncing puck behind the Red Deer Rebels defence and then scored the game-winner in a 2-1 victory over the visitors Friday night at the Saddledome.
Elliott Peterson also scored for the Hitmen, who took a 2-0 lead in the WHL Eastern Conference semifinal series.
The best-of-seven affair now shifts to Red Deer for Games 3 and 4 on Monday and Tuesday.
Hitmen bench boss Mike Williamson said Rask deserved the first star he received.
"He made a great play on that to stay onside and to stay with it," Williamson said. "A lot of guys would have probably given up on that play and curled away.
"It was a bouncing puck, but he fought hard for position and made a strong play with someone right on him.
"Victor is a dynamic player, and I thought he was fantastic for us (Friday night). He worked hard in both ends."
The Carolina Hurricanes draft pick has a point in every game in the playoffs, picking up nine points in seven tilts and leads all players with three game-winners.
Rask said he knew what he was going to do on the breakaway despite being hooked by Rebels blueliner Mathew Dumba.
"It was a good play to chip the puck in," Rask said. "It bounced over the d-man's stick, and I got a breakaway.
"It felt like I got hooked or something, but I made my move and scored."
Besides Rask and both goaltenders, the true stars were the penalty-killers, as the two clubs combined to kill off all 11 powerplays.
Rebels goaltender Patrik Bartosak kicked out 40 shots in the loss, while Hitmen goalie Chris Driedger made 29 saves to pick up his 12th win in his last 13 outings.
Williamson praised his goaltender for maintaining his focus in the rough-and-tumble affair.
"He's risen to the challenge," Williamson said. "He's taken a lot of pride at looking down the ice and seeing who he's playing against, both against Swift Current (in winning Round 1) and Red Deer.
"We think Chris is one of the top guys in the league and that he has something to prove.
"So far, he's been up to the task."
Peterson wasted no time staking the hosts to an early lead.
The rookie winger outhustled a Rebels defender to track down a dump-in and beat Bartosak from the side of the net just 47 seconds in.
The Hitmen had a great chance to build on their lead but came up empty on a two-man advantage for 1:30.
The Hitmen also killed off a trio of first-period penalties, but shortly after the last one ended, Rebels winger Jordan DePape evened the score on a scramble.
But Rask potted the game-winner late in the middle frame, sniping a wrister past Bartosak's blocker.

A Nordic invited competition was organized for the design of a site owned by ABB Strömberg Oy. The intention was to change part of the old industrial area into residential and business use. Master planning was supported by the proximity of a railway station and many parks and recreation areas.
In the competition phase a local commercial centre as well as residential buildings were designed in connection with the railway station. Later, however, it was decided that the industrial use of the site will continue to the extent that the design of a commercial centre was no longer possible.
Office and residential buildings' heights range from five to seven storeys. The majority of the office buildings standing on the site are designed by Tommila Architects (see ABB Building Tellus, Nokia Strömberg plaza and Hiomotie 26 and SysOpen Tower).

Ten years ago today, President Bush declared war with Iraq, starting the beginning of an invasion that has killed more than 6,000 soldiers in combat.
Years after they've returned from combat, some Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom veterans are transitioning into civilian life at Santa Fe College.
Chris Silvasman, 24, is in his first year at Santa Fe College and is among the 750 enrolled veterans at the school.
Silvasman entered the war as Marine when he was 19 years old and served in the Middle East for four years. He said the dream of serving his country started after 9/11.
"To be honest, that was one of the huge deciding factors for me for wanting to join the military," Silvasman said.
Silvasman said coming home from war was harder than transitioning into war as a teenager.
His friendship with fellow veterans made the transition a little smoother.
"You become a part of brotherhood," he said. "You're doing the same things and think the same way. When you transition out, you realize there is a whole lot more world than you're used to."
Sandra Torres-Pintos, director of veteran affairs at Santa Fe College, said helping students like Silvasman extends beyond the confines of a classroom.
"We consider ourselves to be a one-stop shop simply because we don't just take care of them in their educational benefits, but we try to ensure they are signed up with the VA hospital, have financial aid and have a place to live," said Torres-Pintos, who served in the Marines for 25 years.
Torres-Pintos said this week she has been helping students with the memories of war that are resurfacing on the anniversary.

I was not happy with my breasts due to pregnancy and weight loss. My face lift was done as I looked older than I felt.
Dr Pousti did an amazing job on my breast augmentation. He went in through my nipple and there are no scars or indications that I had surgury at all. My breasts look totally natural and are placed under the muscle tissue. I have no pain or internal scaring that causes pain and problems that many of my friends have as a result of breast surgury. I am completely satisfied with the work and am now healing from a lower face lift that I had Dr. Pousti to perform. I have not completely healed yet but so far I am very pleased and have no complications to date.

By Edi Osborne
Now I'm not proposing we launch a new TV series where business owners stay in a fancy mansion surrounded by eager CPAs vying for their business – although it does make me giggle to picture the hot tub scene with floating laptops or the contests to see who can balance the books the fastest or the scavenger hunt to find the hidden error in the financial statements.
And just imagine the heartbreak of every CPA who doesn't receive the coveted engagement rose (letter) at the end of the cocktail party or the final scene as they pull away in the limo and remark, "I should have put a fancier cover on those financial statements," or "I got him the maximum refund, what more does he want?" Or, "Doesn't he know I'm his trusted advisor?"
All of the drama makes for good TV ratings, but my favorite is the "after the rose" show. Every once in a while one of the candidates is honest and admits he or she got caught up in the fantasy of the competition and focused on winning rather than on whether the prospect was his or her type.
I think we have all been there in the heat of the competition for new business. If we are not careful we can lose sight of the big picture when a seemingly easier or immediately gratifying opportunity presents itself.
To keep yourself from falling in love with the wrong prospect, here's a list of questions/criteria you might want to review when you go a-courting:
- Would I be comfortable setting up this potential client to do business with my best clients?
Indating terms: Would I fix this guy up with my sister?
- Does this client share my same values around honesty, teamwork, etc.?
In dating terms: Are they polite to servers and are they a good tipper? Would they give up their seat to an elderly person?
- Would this potential client be among the first you would recommend to be interviewed by the local business journal doing a story talking about CPA-client relationships?
In dating terms: Would you be proud to announce to the world that you are seeing each other?
- Would you be comfortable having anyone on your team work with this client and/or their team? At their location?
In dating terms: Are you as comfortable at his/her place as your own? Are you OK with inviting your friends over to his/her house?
- Would you be comfortable having this potential client come to dinner at your home? With your family?
In dating terms: Would my parents like him/her? Would Nana approve?
- If you were leaving your firm, and you could only take five clients with you, is this one of them?
In dating terms: Is this Mr. Right or Mr. Right Now?
- Is there an opportunity to expand the relationship beyond initial service interests?
In dating terms: How do they feel about children, a family?
This is my list. Yours may be different. I'm not saying a prospect has to pass every one of these tests, but certainly most of them.
Speaking of tests, one of the meanest and smartest things my parents ever did was to insist that a certain older boy I had a crush on had to come spend a day at our house before they would let me go out with him. He arrived late, got bored easily, didn't engage well in conversation or activities with my family, and spent much of the time looking for places for us to sneak off to. Bottom line is he failed the test miserably and by the middle of the day (he left early); I never wanted to see him again. Truth be told, my parents never would have let me go out with him, but they let me figure it out for myself. Pretty smart, huh? Don't tell them I said so.
Finding and dating prospects can be both daunting and fun. However you feel about it, be sure you have a good idea of what your ideal client looks like before you head out the door. Consider setting up a group date with your team and theirs at their location and see how things go before you commit any further. Better to test the fit up front, otherwise you could be signing yourself and your firm up for some heartache.
Trudy Beard, CPA, CSPM of Independence, Missouri, took this idea of a group date even further. Here's an example of why you want to involve your team in the prospecting process. She was swamped with work and yet, still had a hard time saying no to any new business that came her way. The result was a mismatch of clients that didn't fit with her overall goals and strategy.
Her solution was to involve her team in all client prospecting decisions. According to Trudy the results were spectacular on several levels:
- The team understood and embraced Trudy's overall goals and did a good job of sifting through the opportunities to find those that were a good fit.
- The team was quick to identify clients that didn't fit and that should be let go.
- The team was quick to take on more work from Trudy to free her up when presented with an ideal client opportunity.
- Trudy reported that the team's skills grew tremendously as they took on more challenging work to help Trudy free up her time to pursue higher quality work. (The team thrived on the growth opportunities.)
- Involving the team in both her strategy and client selection improved their Strategic IQ such that they could make better real-time decisions about workflow priorities.
Essentially, the team saved Trudy from herself (just like my parents did for me) and her tendency to say yes too easily.
I've learned to accept reality: the television networks probably aren't going to jump at my idea for The Accountant: A Reality Show. But I'll leave you with this thought…imagine what fun you could have as the broken-hearted CPA runner-up who gets to return to the mansion with 25 entrepreneurially endowed business owners anxiously waiting to woo you. Sounds like a lot of fun right? Maybe not.
Taking a lesson from Trudy, saying no to prospects isn't always easy. For that reason, I recommend you take your test list with you to the mansion (or bring your parents). It's probably going to be a lot harder than you think to select just one prospect.
Wait a minute. This is just a fantasy. In that case, enjoy the fantasy, lose the list, leave your parents at home and date as many as you like!

Thanks for the guide, Brandon !!

 By the way, I found a piece of code with function (daemonize :: IO () -> IO
 ()) (http://sneakymustard.com/2008/12/11/haskell-daemons), which is close to
 the subject.

 I guess now I'm ready to implement my own daemon!
 Thanks for your help, everyboby!! =)

In my experience, that is the most common convention. Some books, like Image Processing (Gonzales & Woods) swap the axes, but that is probably done to be consistent with array indexing. Then, there is still the issue of the origin. In the cartesian plane the origin is at the lower left-hand corner of the array, whereas in array indexing it is at the top left-hand corner. Personally, I find it easiest to always use row and column indices, and to refrain from using x or y to describe them. On the other hand, this may not be easy when implementing algorithms from literature, set in the X-Y plane. Regards Stéfan

Fifth starter, another bat aren't Mariners' only needs
Everyone knows the Mariners need a No. 5 starter and a right-handed bat.
Which is the higher priority? If I had to vote for one, I'd say the fifth starter. I don't think anyone wants to see Erasmo Ramirez or Brandon Maurer out there again, though Ramirez did shut out the Rays in a shaky 4 2/3 innings on Monday. Plus the Mariners have won in Ramirez's last two starts, so it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if they send him out to face Safeco Joe Saunders and the Rangers on Saturday.
As good as Mariners rookie Roenis Elias has been, his innings total could become an issue later this season. (AP)
It's not just the fifth spot in the rotation. There also have to be some concerns about Chris Young and Roenis Elias.
I'd be fine with Young as a fifth starter, but I don't see him sustaining his overall success. He's pitching tonight against the Yankees, and he'll give the Mariners a chance against Masahiro Tanaka. Young is 3-0 with a 1.89 ERA at Safeco Field.
With Elias, John Clayton pointed out recently that he's never pitched more than 148 innings in a season, and that occurred two years ago at Single-A High Desert. Last year he threw 130 innings for Double-A Jackson.
Elias has pitched 81 2/3 innings this year, and Clayton justifiably wonders how long the lefty will hold up. You can figure he's good to go for awhile, but what happens in August when he gets up around 150 innings? And think about how many pitches he's thrown to get to his 81 2/3 innings already.
When you hear that general manager Jack Zduriencik is looking for another starter, it makes you wonder about the health of James Paxton and Taijuan Walker.
Paxton has been out since mid-April, nursing a lat injury. On Tuesday we learned that he's been playing catch but there are no immediate plans for him to throw from a mound. That leads you to believe he won't be back with the Mariners until after the All-Star break.
With Walker, based on manager Lloyd McClendon's comments on Tuesday, I get the feeling the Mariners want him to pitch with Triple-A Tacoma for a while. And my definition of "a while" pushes his timetable into July, just like Paxton.
As far as the need for a right-handed bat, the Mariners have Cole Gillespie and Stefen Romero on their roster right now. Though Gillespie's been hot of late, you can't expect him to be your occasional clean-up hitter and think that will work long-term.
As crazy as it's been with the makeshift lineups, I'd rather see the Mariners try to patch things together than trade a promising prospect for a bat right now.
Corey Hart, out with a hamstring injury, should be back in early July. Logan Morrison – though I know he's a left-handed hitter – should be ready to go after playing 18 games in Tacoma. He's batting .308 and has gone 8 for his last 18, including a solo homer Tuesday night in Memphis.
Until Hart returns, you could take a flyer on Jesus Montero, who's batting .273 overall for Tacoma but is hitting .300 in June and .313 against left-handers.
Or there's Jabari Blash, who turns 25 on the Fourth of July. He's batting .221 for the Rainiers but is 12 for his last 31 and was 3 for 4 Tuesday night. Blash smacked three homers in one game against El Paso last week.
More help could be on the way at shortstop. Chris Taylor returned Tuesday night from a broken pinky and is averaging .372. That's 200 points better than Brad Miller – albeit at a much different level – but there's no debating that he's a better defensive shortstop.
I'd also be concerned about keeping my job if I were Justin Smoak, whose sore quad has sidelined him of late. After getting just one hit in his last 18 at-bats, Smoak's average has dropped to .208. Morrison's lurking, and I wouldn't mind taking a look at a platoon situation with LoMo and Willie Bloomquist at first. Crazy? Maybe, but would it be worse than seeing Smoak every day?
Despite what appear to be glaring issues, the Mariners are still 34-30 and in the thick of a wild-card race. As much as I hope it continues, logic tells me that it won't.

Okay—this entry is strictly for laughs so I apologize to anyone expecting some code examples or useful tips or tricks. Yesterday, my coworker Margaret and I took 2nd place in a little Peeps art contest held here at work. I thought you might enjoy pictures of our 2nd place entry, "Peeps Developers Conference".
This first picture shows the crowd watching the keynote and a second shot of Scott Peepsrie giving his keynote talk.
And finally, a couple shots of the crowd…
Now back to our regular programming (pun intended).

The National Enquirer this week publishes on the cover of its print edition a photograph of the sole survivor of the Sago mine disaster in hospital as he recovers from his injuries.
Randy McCloy Jr. who was pulled out of the mine 42 hours after the January 2 blast, was photographed three days later at the Ruby Memorial Hospital, West Virginia.
His brother Matthew took the photograph and gave it to The National Enquirer for publication in a bid to raise awareness of serious safety issues at the West Virginia mine.
Matthew said Randy had told him he planned to quit the mine after predicting disaster shortly before it struck.
"Randy knew the mine was dangerous," Matthew tells this week's National Enquirer.
Randy's condition improved, as he is breathing on his own and appears to be coming out of his coma. "We consider him, probably best described, in a light coma," a neurosurgeon who is treating him said on Jan. 18. He is "opening his eyes, he has purposeful movement, he is responding to his family in slight ways." Doctors hope to be able to move Randy, 26, to a rehabilitation hospital within two weeks.
In his bombshell interview, Matthew said his brother, who had been a miner for three years, prevented a disaster just days before Sago closed for the holidays.
Matthew told The National Enquirer: "Randy told me he had to shut down his equipment because he discovered a pocket of methane gas in the tunnel roof. A spark would have caused an explosion and many people would have been killed. He let the company know about it.
"But I can't understand why the company gave the all-clear for the miners to work again in that area when the holidays started again… I hope federal investigators get to the truth."
Since 2004, Sago has been slapped with 276 safety violations. The injury rate at Sago is three times the national average and the mine was cited 16 times in 2005 by the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration for unsafe conditions that could have caused fires or explosions.
Matthew, 25, a mechanic and a father of two, said he photographed Randy in hospital on January 5 because "the photo needs to shock America into realizing what these miners go through."

OOOOOooooooohhhhhhhhh! Prettyful! can I have one too ? I love that! Did you have to add the holes? Where did you find the locks? ((hittin' "this ROCKS!"))
Thanks! I bought the locks from an estate sale/auction. I actually couldn't figure out what to do with them so I was just going to get rid of them when she suggested a necklace. The holes were already drilled into the locks, it was perfect!
Thank you, Feast Your Eyes! I picked up the pearl beads at the flea market. I like them a lot.

Jessica Alba's Tip for Bringing Color Into Your Home Office
The actress shares her advice on using color in the office, why she's obsessed with organization, and more.
photo: Joe Schmelzer; styling: Stephen Pappas
Their eco-friendly cleaning and bath products are stripped down to only the most essential ingredients, but The Honest Company's offices are far from bare bones. To make the space feel cozier, co-founder Jessica Alba recently updated a conference room in their Santa Monica headquarters with the brand's signature teal-and-red color palette, bold pillows, and even a candy jar filled with jellybeans.
Inspired by her confident use of color, we asked the actress, entrepreneur, and mom for her advice on getting a similar look at home. "You could do a colorful desk calendar, or hang photos in a bold picture frames," she says. "I also love a colorful planter – just use succulents as they don't die as quickly!" The actress also revealed that she's obsessed with organization. "We label everything from our kitchen cabinets to our supply cabinets," she says. "The only thing we can't seem to figure out is how to neatly arrange the office refrigerator!"

ROSELLE — A Union County man was sentenced to 18 years in prison today for the repeated sexual assault of a young girl beginning in 2003.
Claude Veraline Desir, a native of Haiti and a former Roselle Borough resident, was convicted of aggravated sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child in November. Assistant Prosecutor John Esmerado said the sexual abuse lasted for five years beginning when the girl was five years old.
Desir, 47, was arrested in January 2008 after the girl confided in a Roselle teacher. The teacher immediately notified authorities and investigators from the county's Child Advocacy Center launched an investigation that led to the arrest of Desir that same day.
During the 10-day trial in November, the girl testified via closed circuit television.
Before Desir's sentencing in court today, the victim's mother read an emotional statement to Judge Stuart Peim from the young girl.
"Mom, I was raped for five years and it took four years to prove that I was raped. Today I want to live."

Greetings, readers. Now, as you may have noticed, I'm fairly eclectic in my writing here on The Blood Sprayer. This has its ups and downs; often I find myself absolutely wracking my brains trying to think of something interesting to talk about that's not simply covered by a Wikipedia article. I also went through a period a couple years back where, having discovered Mill Creek Entertainment's boxed sets of public domain films, I went on something of a collecting spree. 50 films for $15-20? How could I say no?
So these two things came together in my head today. Why not set myself the task of writing, in increments, about horror films that have fallen into the public domain, and thus can be watched for free or, at the most, a very nominal fee? I talked it over with Wes, and thus, this column was born.
A quick word about precisely what "public domain" is. I'm not here to discuss the vagaries and finer details of copyright law, I'm here to talk about horror movies, so I will keep this brief. First of all, intellectual property. For our purposes here, intellectual property law grants exclusive rights to a creation — literary, cinematic, artistic, musical, etc. — to those recognized by the law as the owner. So, for example, the Walt Disney Company owns the rights to Mickey Mouse's image. There is generally a deadline on how long intellectual property law protects an owner's right to a creation, and when that deadline is passed (or the work in question otherwise forfeits its intellectual property rights), the work falls into public domain, and anyone can reproduce or utilize the work without paying royalty charges to the original owner. Due to a flubbed credit, George A. Romero's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is in the public domain.
And now, without further ado, I present three public domain horror films. Let's look at three that Bela Lugosi appeared in, in keeping with the Halloween weekend.
Everyone loves zombies. WHITE ZOMBIE is the very first zombie movie, dealing not with Romero-style gutmunchers, but rather the enthralled undead of Haitian voodoo lore. Neil and Madeleine are in Haiti to get married; casual acquaintance Beaumont insists they hold the ceremony at his plantation. Along the way they meet Murder Legendre (Lugosi), a charming, if somewhat unnerving, mill owner with a rather large collection of glassy-eyed workers. Unfortunately, Madeleine soon falls ill and dies; Neil sinks in to a deep, rum-soaked depression. Beaumont, however, has planned for all of this. Legendre awakens Madeleine from her death-like trance, keeping her in a zombie-state via drugs and hypnosis, allowing Beaumont to keep her for himself. When Neil becomes aware of this, he realizes it is up to him to rescue her from Legendre's castle (in Haiti?). The moral of the story: "Nobody wins when you play with voodoo."
Lugosi really shines in the role of Legendre, a performance I personally prefer over his stint as Count Dracula. While much of the film around him is somewhat lackluster, there are some genuinely creepy moments involving the zombies and the story does have quite a bit of depth in its treatment of human selfishness. WHITE ZOMBIE can be viewed freely here.
Dr. Paul Carruthers (Lugosi) is fairly annoyed with his employers, the Morton-Heath cosmetics company. His new greaseless cold cream formula made the Morton-Heath company millions of dollars, and all he got was a check for $5,000. Having been disregarded in such a fashion, Carruthers sets to work on a new project. Via electrical stimulation of the pituitary gland, Carruthers creates a gigantic bat, and trains it to have an affinity for a certain scent. He then bottles this scent in samples of "experimental" cologne, which he gives to Morton-Heath associates before letting his bat out. The bat unerringly seeks the wearer of the cologne, and tears their throat out.
The police baffled, the investigation is taken up by a fast-talking reporter, Johnny Layton, and his goofy side-kick, "One-Shot" McGuire, on behalf of their newspaper editor. Somehow, they manage to figure out what's going on, though only after concocting a journalistic hoax that gets them both fired.
Lugosi stands out as the jilted chemist, and some of his dialogue is incredible – his inner monologue isn't acoustically altered in any way, so it just seems like he's a monologuing ventriloquist. He talks lovingly to his bats, bordering on the same sort of baby-talk you hear people use with their dogs. And to top it all off, I think this is the only film in which you can hear Lugosi say, "it is past my bedtime." The special effects are about par for what you'd expect from this era, and ultimately I'd call this one of the better Poverty Row cheapies that I've seen. THE DEVIL BAT can be seen for free here.
Dr. James Brewster (Lugosi), a noted glandular physician, has disappeared after secluding himself in a hidden lab to work on a new set of experiments. When his sister, popular "ghost-hunter" Agatha, comes looking for him, his assistant George cautions her, "prepare yourself for a great shock," before leading her to Brewster's lab. Here, she finds her brother in a cage with a gorilla — Brewster's posture is hunched, his arms swing freely, and he is covered in coarse, dark hair. Using himself as a guinea pig in experimenting with ape glands, he has turned himself into a monster, the ape-mind occasionally overtaking his human psyche.
Agatha puts on her "ghost-hunter" act to throw muckraking journalists off Brewster's trail as he desperately seeks a cure for his condition. He stumbles upon exactly what he's looking for — regular injections of human spinal fluid will restore him to his human state. The one down side being, this spinal fluid must be drawn from living humans, who will not be living once Brewster takes their spinal fluid out. Desperate, Brewster begins taking his pet gorilla out for nightly walks in order to obtain the fluid he needs.
Lugosi hams it up utterly in THE APE MAN, jumping about, hurling furniture, and gargling his lines. Karloff made a similar movie, THE APE (which I'll talk about in this column another time), three years earlier which lacked the energy of Lugosi's vehicle. The make-up looks like a precursor to the make-up of PLANET OF THE APES, and is significantly easier to act through than Lugosi's prior special make-up work, in 1932's THE ISLAND OF LOST SOULS and 1943's FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN. The gorilla is played by the enigmatic Emil Van Horn. THE APE MAN can be viewed for free here.
That's it for this installment of Free Fear. Join us next time, for another three horror films that are in the public domain.

California Genealogy and History Archives
Sonoma County
|Thomas Jefferson Graham
The life of Thomas Jefferson Graham commenced in Canada in 1818 and it ended in California in the year 1897. Between these two dates we have a period of great individual activity, the moulding of a life and the shaping of a destiny. The life delineated herein is one that commends itself to posterity for the sterling qualities of the man and also for the success accomplished and wrested from the face of difficulties and obstacles. It presents all those rugged outlines that cause us to stop in our hurry of work and of play and remark upon the one who could so develop and establish a reputation that stands upon the pages of the history of Time, as one that is well worthy the emulation of the young of every generation.
Mr. Graham was reared in the city of Toronto, Canada, in which place his father died when the boy was fourteen years of age. Although deprived of the care and counsel of his father, he did not give way to the temptations and the trials that came upon him, but determined to go ahead and win out. He began work in a store and spent his nights in a school accumulating knowledge to be used at some future time for the advancement of his own ambition. Thus he continued in the place of his nativity until he was twenty-two years of age and then he came to the United States and settled in Sheboygan, Wis., where he engaged in the grocery business on his own account. There he continued until the year 1852, when he sold out his interests and started across the plains with a party of fifteen wagons. In the fall of that year they arrived in Sacramento, Cal., after a trip that was filled with adventure and experiences of many kinds. On the way they were attacked with the cholera and a number of the party succumbed to the ravages of this dread malady. One of the party was drowned as they were fording a stream. At Sacramento Mr. Graham left the party and with his wife he came to San Francisco by boat, and in November of the same year took passage by boat to go to the east via Panama. After reaching New York they turned their steps toward Wisconsin and returned to Sheboygan. Mr. Graham again engaged in the grocery business and was so occupied until the spring of 1846, when they sold out and took passage from New York to San Francisco via Panama, arriving there in the midst of the excitement caused by the operations of the Vigilance Committee. After three or four days stay in San Francisco they took passage for Santa Clara and from there they came to Petaluma, Sonoma county, which place was then only a small village. Intending to go into business as he had done in other places, Mr. Graham erected a store for this purpose, but realizing the opportunity along the lines of real estate, he sold his store before commencing business and invested the money in city property, which he sold again. He also conducted an insurance business at the same time, securing the agencies of the Aetna and Hartford companies. In the fall of 1883 Mr. Graham retired from active business and was so living at the time of his demise, in November, `897. He was a member of the Masonic order, belonging to the Blue Lodge and also to Petaluma Lodge No. 77, R. A. M. He was a well-known citizen and a man who was always agreeable to everything that stood for the advancement of the highest interests of the community in which he resided. His kindly disposition and courteous manner won him many friends in Sonoma county, and he was especially beloved by all the children of the town on account of his great kindliness toward them.
In Wisconsin on April 17, 1852, Mr. Graham was
married to Miss Elinor McCain, daughter of Allen and Jane (Coulter)
McCain, both natives of Delaware county, N. Y., who had moved to
Wisconsin in the early days and made their home in the vicinity of
Sheboygan until their deaths. Since the death of Mr. Graham the widow
has made her home in Petaluma, where she is actively identified with the
Episcopal Church, being one of the founders of the same, also a member
of the vestry for a number of years, and also the Woman's Guild, in
which she has taken a prominent part. Mr. and Mrs. Graham assisted in
the building of the first Episcopal Church in Petaluma and after the
congregation had outgrown the building they assisted in the erection of
the edifice in which the church meets today. They have given liberally
to the church and its charities. Mrs. Graham had a window placed in the
church in honor of Rev. John Potridge, who has officiated for the past
twenty-one years.

I have done this route several times and it is always fun. We have started pitch 1 just beyond the large roof. Maybe 10 feet left of end of the roof/black cavity is a small roof/step with a crack in it. The roof is maybe 10 feet off the ground. Climb this until the crack fades. Head left up easy rock towards another roof. After maybe 20 feet head right than up into the roof. Turn the roof using a great finger crack. Go up easy rock and belay. This pitch feels like easy 5.7. I also have done pitch 5 slightly different. I once went right from the top of the pillar as indicated by the Rossiter topo and I could never piece together what looked like a reasonable route. Maybe I was already to high? Also, I have never belayed at the pine tree. Usually I set the belay at the base of the small pillar/LF dihedral (you will climb this as part of pitch 5) on a good ledge. Climb the LF dihedral to the top of the pillar. Set pro. There is good protection here, and this is the last pro for a while. Head up and left. I remember up 10 feet or so than a left trending climb until you find a sea of knobs. Climb straight up these for 10 feet or so than head right on good knobs into the dihedral. If all goes well you will be at a fixed pin. I had to girth hitch the pin as I could not work a biner through it. I seem to remember 30 or so feet of climbing with little pro; however it is mostly 5.5, with a bit of 5.6. Also, a good alternative to the pitch 3 and 4 is to head left (climber's left) on Limber Pine Ledge to Last Gasp. This is a hike. So take the rope off until you get over to Last Gasp area. Climb shallow cracks and flakes right of the Last Gasp dihedral. This will get you to top of pitch 4 on Cajun Capers. The cracks are mostly 5.6 with a couple of sections of easy 5.7.
For the descent take doubles or twin ropes. With two ropes you can make two raps back to Limber Pine Ledge than hike down to the base. Without two ropes, it is a long hike to the west saddle and back to your pack. It also would be a long way to go if you headed to the east saddle. Hope this is helpful.

|Yes, some thin webbing is useful to tie off the pin since you cannot clip a biner.

|I agree agree with the above mentioned option of side-stepping pitches 3 and 4 for the traverse to Last Gasp. The first two Cajun pitches are especially fine and the first two of LG are phffff. Plus, the S rating on Cajun Capers is well deserved, I think it's downright scary, unless you're a solid 5.9-5.10 leader. The remaining pitches of LG are very good, not a hike, but enough 5.6 to keep it interesting and without the protection problems.

|Pitch 3 and 4 are good pitches and it is [definitely] recommended (IMO) to finish with Cajun rather than [Last Gasp].
By Aaron Martinuzzi
Jun 20, 2009
Having climbed Cajun Capers recently (with my non-climber girlfriend), I'm going to throw out a couple suggestions. Jim's comment that you need to lead 9 or 10 to climb this route is a bit of an exaggeration, I think, but I would not recommend leading this route if 5.7 is your limit and you don't have any runout mileage under your belt. The R rating applies not only to P3, but also P5. The climbing isn't hard, but the leader and the follower need to have their heads screwed on pretty tightly, particularly for the P3 traverse. Also, there are a number of hollow flakes and loose blocks on the pitches and at a couple belays that are very tempting to put gear behind, but might not hold if loaded. All in all, the gear is tricky. Good, obvious placements can be few and far between - be prepared to get creative with pro and/or run it out.
In short, this isn't a date climb, despite the non-sustained nature of the pitches. I think this route is best reserved for an easy day out with your regular partner - some run-outs to keep it interesting at a low grade, with some really good climbing on the last two pitches. The standard Sundance rapping off the summit into the East Gully isn't too much of a hassle. I'd rather do that than lug two ropes out there.

DEESIDE residents are being invited to hsave their say on plans to build an £800 million incinerator.
Wheelabrator Technologies Inc (WTI) has released a schedule of drop-in sessions that residents will be able to attend to voice their thoughts and have questions answered on the construction of the giant waste burning facility – dubbed the Deeside burner.
The American company will host six dates in June where residents can to speak to project chiefs ahead of a planning application being submitted to Flintshire Council in the autumn.
The proposed plant, which would be built on a former steelworks site at Deeside Industrial Park, would burn up to 200,000 tonnes of waste a year from across North Wales, creating energy from waste.
WTI said the incinerator site would be called Parc Adfer, to reflect how it could help the region recover energy from its non-recyclable waste. Adfer means to recover or restore in the Welsh language.
An artist's impression of what the site would look like once built has also been released, above.
The proposed facility would generate enough electricity to power more than 30,000 homes.
The facility will also create heat or steam which could be piped to nearby users.
About 300 jobs would be created during the construction phase, and about 35 full time jobs once the facility is operational by September, 2018.
WTI has put forward these proposals following its appointment as preferred bidder by the North Wales Waste Residual Waste Treatment Project (NWRWTP), a partnership between five local authorities – with Flintshire Council as the lead authority.
The incinerator will burn non-recyclable waste from five counties across North Wales, Flintshire, Conwy, Denbighshire, Gwynedd and Isle of Anglesey, over the next 25 years.
Vice president of UK operations at WTI, Gary Aguinaga, said: "This is our first opportunity to talk to local people about the technology we're proposing and explain how we intend to build and operate this facility in a safe and responsible way.
"We want people to ask us questions because that means we can start to address some of the concerns that have been raised and we can demonstrate how our experience and commitment to excellence will make this a facility of which North Wales can be proud.
"I'd encourage people to contact us, find out how they can get involved and ensure they make their views known."
The consultation will run until Friday July 11 with further information available online from today at www.parcadfer.com

Tthe circumstances of my all my pregnancy timing were bad in other people's eyes, so we waited longer for different reasons with each pregnancy.
We waited until around the 10th week with my first to tell several close friends (namely the wedding party and our pastor). I was showing by then and it was getting really obvious, anyway. My parents didn't know until after that. I had to tell my work at 9 weeks when I was put on a day of bedrest.
With the second, my sister figured it out quickly, and I think we told friends/family before 8 weeks.
#4, told husband when I took the test, about 4 weeks and family about 6 weeks, when I had to take it easy for a week. I think church/close friends knew about then, too. Didn't make it to announcing to anyone else.
With the 3rd, I told my now closest friend at about 4 weeks, but I hadn't had a test to know for sure. I told my husband after the positive test around 6 weeks, and at 9 weeks m/c. I'd planned to wait until 12 weeks, which was when I wanted to hear the heart for the first time. At 13 weeks, still growing and tired, but thinking something was terribly wrong I found out I was still pg, so I just had to tell the whole world.
I like the suggestion of not giving the reason for changing the wedding date, just making a general announcement that the day you had chosen won't work due to scheduling conflicts. People will think all different reasons, anyway.
I fully understand wanting to wait a certain amount of time before announcing. I've heard it's good to wait until the beginning of the 2nd trimester to announce to work.
There's no such thing as global warming. Chuck Norris was cold so he turned up the sun.

The Jamaica Bay Natural Gas Pipeline is nearly a done deal. Legislation permitting the construction of the pipeline has passed the U.S. Senate, removing one of the last major roadblocks to its construction.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg released this statement following the news that the H.R.2606 plan will move forward:
The legislation passed this morning in the U.S. Senate is not just about the construction and operation of a natural gas pipeline and the jobs it will create – it is critical to building a stable, clean-energy future for New York City and improving the health of all New Yorkers. I want to thank Senator Schumer who sponsored this important legislation as well as Senators Bingaman and Murkowski who helped make passage possible. I would also like to acknowledge the important role of the National Park Service in this process and look forward to the members of the House re-passing this bill when they return in November.
In previous articles, we've noted how clandestine the whole operation has been, and it seems the same can be said of the news that it is happening.
Throughout the course of the entire situation, activists and residents have come forward to ensure that their opposition to the pipeline – which would run under the Atlantic Ocean, cutting through the Rockaways and into southeast Brooklyn – was heard.
The $265 million project was endorsed by the Bloomberg Administration as a means of creating jobs and clean energy.
The bill will go back to the House when the legislative session resumes in November for approval of any changes. The final hurdle will be cleared once the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which reviews and authorizes natural gas pipelines, greenlights the project.
