Shadi Krecht DMD
Plymouth Cosmetic Dentist
Seeking a conveniently located dentist in Plymouth? Dr. Shadi Krecht serves the residents of Plymouth, Michigan, and neighboring communities by providing comprehensive dental care including cosmetic dentistry, restorative dentistry, general dentistry, and facial fillers.
Choose the Right Plymouth Dentist for Your Smile
It is a smart practice to visit your dentist every six months for an exam and professional teeth cleaning. Combined with diligent at-home oral health care, this habit will help you maintain healthy teeth and gums. Regular dental visits also allow Dr. Krecht to keep an eye on problem areas that may require treatment. After all, cavities can develop relatively quickly, but gum disease takes time.
Many people only visit the dentist when something is wrong. If you keep up with the recommended oral health care, you should be able to avoid most major dental problems, especially tooth loss.
Of course, life can get in the way of a perfect smile. Your teeth work hard every day. It's not surprising to develop stains, get a chipped or cracked tooth, or find yourself with a dental emergency. A damaged or broken tooth can occur because of an accident, sports injury or fall and require restorative dentistry. Other patients find themselves wishing for cosmetic dentistry to enhance and improve their smile and overall appearance. Dr. Krecht offers it all. Your face and smile will look younger, healthier, and happier thanks to your Plymouth dentist.
Dentist in Plymouth Provides Comprehensive Oral Health Services
Dr. Krecht offers a range of cosmetic and restorative dental services to suit your oral health needs, which means your smile will not only look good, it will be healthy too. Services include:
- Cosmetic Dentistry: A customized smile design is achieved through cosmetic dentistry. If you want to transform your appearance and look younger, smarter, and better, porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, cosmetic tooth bonding, and white fillings are all methods for creating natural-looking new smiles.
- Restorative Dentistry: Many patients experience the need to repair cracked, chipped, missing, or damaged teeth. Undergoing restorative dentistry improves not only the function and solidity of your smile, it makes your smile look better too with treatments like dental implants, inlays and onlays, and crowns and bridges.
- Facial Fillers: Porcelain veneers, dental implants, and other cosmetic and restorative dentistry treatments reinforce your jaw, plump your lips, and make your face look younger. Facial fillers like Botox and Juvederm are a great complement to the smile design solutions you undergo and provide a completely refreshed look.
- General Dentistry: You can brush and floss at home daily, and that is wonderful and essential, but your own oral health efforts should be accompanied by general dentistry treatments. Cleanings and oral exams, sealants, and tooth decay prevention are efforts that help patients of all ages maintain strong, healthy teeth and gums and reduce the risk of developing gum disease, oral cancer, or other health problems.

I am addicted to Hockey Wives. It's Season 2 and I really look forward to pouring a glass of wine on Wednesday evenings and sitting down to find out what Angela Price, MP Morin, Tiffany Parros, Noureen DeWulf and the gang are up to.
I have never watched any of those Real Housewives of anywhere shows although I once did an interview about being one of the Real Real Housewives Of Vancouver. But because one of the Vancouver Canucks wives – Noureen who is married to goalie Ryan Miller – was on, I was interested enough to check out the show and then I got hooked.
I'm not going writing a recap since we are half way through the season, but I do have some favourite moments and comments about the show:
MP and Tiffany getting drunkety drunk and comparing stories about when they first got together with their men. There was a little bit of lying and some major smack talk about what may or may not have happened on the first "date".
MP busting her huge rock of an engagement ring in two on the same night in the Big Apple! LOL! It's only funny because she found it, but maybe the diamond is just a tad too giant for real life?
Tiffany pretty much blew away my gun fearing Canadian heart a couple of episodes ago when she went out to practice firing a machine gun with her family. WTF? Is this what a family outing in the United States is like these days? Luckily hearing her talk about her clothing business Plain Threads is much more interesting!
I kind of wanted to hate Paige Getzlaf because she is blonde, beautiful and looks like a perky cheerleader but darn it – she comes across as really intelligent and caring as well as philanthropic with her and Ryan's charity work on CureDuchenne. I'm sure she must have a flaw somewhere but she's sure not showing it.
Ashley Booth is cute as a button even as she is dealing with a lot after her hubs got cut from the NHL and was banished to Siberia (actually to the KHL) during her first year of marriage.
Oh Martine! Martine Forget is always "stressed" which she says in a very cute French accent. It was fun to watch her and gal pal Taylor Winnik go wedding dress shopping. When Martine found "the dress" she cried and I remembered feeling the same way when I picked out my dress 10 years ago!
We are far from Toronto, but were vaguely aware of the struggles of Martine's fiancee, Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Jonathon Bernier, this year as the Canucks and Leafs raced to the bottom of the standings. The behind the scenes drama is unfolding this season on the show and it's pretty interesting how that kind of scenario plays out in the hockey wives world.
California girl Taylor is brave and yet hilarious all at the same time. She seems a little bit like a duck out of water trying to fit in with the other hockey wives; I have a feeling she is more comfortable hanging with guys. I think it's courageous of her to share her story about anxiety and depression, something I can relate to for sure.
"Everything is better with nachos" according to Kodette LaBarbera, who is raising a child with autism. I thought last year's story line was really powerful with the family being separated to do what was best for her autistic son in terms of stability and access to autism programs. Everyone fell a bit in love with her son Ryder as he struggled with dealing with his dad Jason LaBarbera's hockey life.
Angela is going to be a first time mom and is dealing with the ups and downs of pregnancy. She feels like her body has gone all "national geographic" and "that's not cute". I haven't heard that she has had the baby yet, so hopefully she is okay with mountains (baby bump) and oceans (the inevitable peeing all the time). Angela is no Mrs. Robinson, but she is Mrs. Price in Montreal and people, she is not allowed to talk about her hubby's Carey's injury!
And last but not least, I really miss Brijet Whitney from last year! Will we see her back again? She's just the kind of person you'd really like to sit down and have a glass of wine with one day.
In all seriousness, there is a really good story line in Hockey Wives about women and career. Being wives and mothers these women have made the point during the show that it's important to "have your own thing" going on whether it is work or volunteering or whatever it is that makes you feel valued as an individual.
Something to put a pep in your step is how Brijet, who is a dancer and choreographer, described it.
That message is something I can relate to. I've been working more this year on my freelance writing and public relations business and that helps, but I've also been feeling lately like I used to "have a life" and have let too much of that slip away during motherhood.
Being a good mother is a noble and wonderful pursuit as is trying to make others happy. However, there is only so much of yourself that you can give, and when you put the needs of others first over and over again without also having something for yourself, eventually you will start to resent it.
As a woman and a mom, you can't let yourself be the "backup dancer" in your husband and child's life.
Hockey Wives is back on the air this Wednesday and I for one can't wait! Stay tuned!<

Soviet Militia
|My force with Fortifications out front.
The Militia force has its history based on the quickly raised civilian units which formed the initial defense of Stalingrad, effectively stalling the Germans before the regular Red army boys got there. So as you could expect it has a fair share of limitations placed within the army on what you can take - including limited tanks, very limited high end anti-tank and limited mortars and artillery to name a few, but what it lacks in these limitations it makes up for in lots of SMG's, anti-tank rifles, anti-aircraft guns, machine-guns and of course its large cheap Rifle platoons,
I have based all my Russian models around this force, having the majority of my models in the heart of a bombed out and wrecked city and other units setting up defenses on the edges. The cobble streets are just a poly-filler base with lines scoured through with a knife before it sets, looks good and easy enough to do.
Following some interesting history I looked up when making the army, I found that the burden of the initial defense of Stalingrad fell on the 1077th Anti-Aircraft Regiment, a unit made up mainly of young female volunteers who had no training for engaging ground targets, and with no support available from other units, the AA gunners stayed at their posts and took on the advancing panzers. The German 16th Panzer Division reportedly had to fight the 1077th's gunners "shot for shot" until all 37 anti-aircraft guns were destroyed or overrun. The Panzer Division was shocked to find that, due to Soviet manpower shortages, it had been fighting female soldiers. So with this in history in mind I did some minor work on my Anti-Aircraft platoon of 37mm obr 1939 AA gun crews, where as I sculpted them up as women, by extending their coats to look like dresses and filling out the chest area.
The sapper unit has options for unarmed teams within it, so seeing this I quickly converted some Peter Pig civilian miniatures I had so they carried shovels and picks and using hand carts, as if they were digging fortifications for the upcoming attack - very pleased with the result.
I have taken my Militia force with many different options, spanning from an offensive always attack force with a large blob of Shtraf and Flame-thrower tanks thrown in, a another variant with mass artillery batteries.
If this list was updated I would hope it would include some street barricades and trenches and other defenses, as the civilians were often put to work making these about the place. Also would like to see more options of taking unarmed teams in the rifle platoons as more often than not, the civilian units formed up with only half the men having rifles - the others would have to pick up the rifle from the fallen ones in the proceeding battle.
The best force for the Militia I took at a 1625 point army was the following and
I had placed rather well with it, being in the top quarter of the field.
All rated as Confident Conscript with all their support taken from the Red army which is rated as Fearless Conscript. All units have Kommissar teams with them except the AT-Rifle company
MID-WAR Infantry force
HQ - CO and 2IC Rifle teams with Battalion Kommissar Team
Combat - Opolcheniya Company with 2 Rifle platoons and 3 PTRD Anti-tank Rifles
Combat - Opolcheniya Company with 2 Rifle platoons and 3 PTRD Anti-tank Rifles
These form the core of the force with 18 rifle stands, commander and kommissar team and 3 AT rifles at their side.
Combat - Opolcheniya Mortar Company with 6x 82-BM-41 Mortars
These are dead useful - and six tubes for 65points are a steal, you get re-rolls or double width and if you decide to direct fire them you also get to use the volley fire rule if within 16" - so I tend to move them up behind the rifle platoons and do just that.
Weapons - Opolcheniya Anti-tank Company with 6x 45mm obr 1937 guns
These small caliber guns are the only AT asset the Militia get, but keep most light and some medium tanks at bay having ROF 3 and AT 7. They can not upgrade to 1942 model AT 8 guns.
Weapons - Opolcheniya Anti-tank Rifle Company with 12x PTRD AT Rifle teams
I usually combat attach these to the Rifle platoons and give some to the mortar platoon as well. With AT3 in assaults they comes in handy and keep little tanks at bay.
Weapons - Opolcheniya Artillery Battery with 8x 76mm ZIS 3 guns and 4x 76mm obr 1927 guns
This battery differs from the ordinary Strelkovy battery as it doesn't allow the option of taking the 122mm howitzer, switching it for the small regimental 76mm obr 1927 pop guns instead. So this means no steel wall rule either ! so the unit is rather limited, but still a good buy as it offers the long range and high AT of 9 from the ZIS-3 guns to the army.
Support - Opolcheniya Anti-Aircraft Defense Company with 6x 37mm obr 1939 guns
I nearly always take this unit, offers good AT and high ROF and will keep all but the most determined planes away.Conversions on the skirts and chests.
Support - Sapper Company with 3 platoons - all unarmed and with supply wagon
These guys are the center piece for my army and captures the flavor of this militia force very well. Quite often get remarks "why on earth would you disarm them for... as you have to re-roll all your hits in combat" - cause it looks cool ! and it gets me the supply wagon for free. Rated as Fearless Conscripts as well.
Support - Heavy Tank Company with 3x KV-2 tanks
This is my favorite tank of WW2 - a beast with such a high and somewhat silly looking silhouette - looks awesome I think and was the main reason I take the KV-2 over others that are on offer.
Its a rubbish tank as far as FOW rules goes, with only ROF 1 and hen and chicks rule, its pretty bad, the only thing going for it is its AT 10, 1+ bunkerbuster ability. Rated as Fearless Conscripts as well.
So 9 platoons in total, but I often would of combat attached out the AT rifles so would be 8 platoons total.
some more photos of the army

A few points:
A comparison to Sam Patterson may not be fair, but one to Fred Thompson is likely closer to the mark.
Most large District Attorney offices have their own investigators, for precisely those occasions when the DA can't rely on the police to do their jobs, or when the police department may be compromised.
Prosecutors are supposed to prosecute even when the road to a conviction is a difficult one. Their job is to seek justice, not just pad their conviction rates.
I don't feel sorry for her at all.

Emini Trading Update – Thursday 20 Sept 2012 (10:52)
Nice volatility and nice trading today. Getting some great emails, thank you.
Here's one from Ron F.
"I bought the Better Indicators for TS a couple of weeks ago and I am extremely pleased with 5 winners and no losers to date! I've squandered many thousands of dollars on correlated indicators. The Better Indicators are to me a technical breakthrough of the highest order and I am extremely grateful for what you have accomplished and are continuing to accomplish in this field. Thank you again for all your help to the trading community."
And from Ben F.
"Hey Barry, as you pointed out in your last video it has been a frustrating market since early Aug. BUT I wanted to let you know, if and when we have some range I can now consistently take out a profit. My confidence is growing week by week and I am excited that all the elements are coming together in my trading for me to be a successful trader for the long term.
I managed to squeak out 4 pts yesterday and I had one of my better days today with a 5 pt winning trade, long at 46 right after the Philly fed survey and out at 51's. I would not have had the confidence to hold if it were not for your indicators and everything you do to help those of us who, even through tough markets, are dedicated to making trading work."
Good luck with your Emini trading.

After Rio 2016 Scandal, Ryan Lochte to Appear on US Reality Show
Ryan Lochte is among 13 celebrities to sign up for popular television show, 'Dancing with the Stars', which launches its newest season on September 12
Ryan Lochte to appear on US reality show 'Dancing with the Stars'
Lochte is among 13 celebrities to sign up for the popular television
Gold medal-winning Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez will also participate
US swimming star Ryan Lochte will look to turn the page after his drunken hijinks at the Rio Olympics 2016 cost him lucrative endorsements -- by appearing on the reality TV show 'Dancing with the Stars'.
Lochte, 32, is among 13 celebrities to sign up for the popular television show, which launches its newest season on September 12, US network ABC confirmed Tuesday.
"I'm breaking out my dance shoes for Season 23 of #DWTS!" Lochte tweeted.
The line-up also includes gold medal-winning Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez, former rapper Vanilla Ice, former Texas governor Rick Perry and actress Maureen McCormick, who appeared in the popular 1970s sitcom 'The Brady Bunch'.
American football star Calvin Johnson, reality TV star Amber Rose and Indy race car driver James Hinchcliffe are also among those scheduled to compete.
Lochte used the announcement of his upcoming turn on the show to repeat his regret about his "big mistake" in Rio.
Brazilian authorities last week charged him with making a false report about being robbed at gunpoint during the Olympics. Lochte had already left the country by the time the charges were filed.
The Olympic gold medal winner had told the media in Rio that he and three teammates had been mugged after an all-night party by robbers pretending to be police.
The tale humiliated first the Brazilian hosts of the Games and later Lochte's own Team USA, after police determined that he had largely concocted his story.
Top sponsors, including Speedo and Ralph Lauren, abandoned Lochte in the uproar over his made-up story, and he could still face disciplinary action over the incident by USA Swimming and the International Olympic Committee.
But Lochte told ABC's 'Good Morning America' programme that it was time to move on, and that "everyone (is) blowing this way out of proportion".
"I'm never one to dwell on the past. I just want to move forward," the beleaguered swimming star said.
"Everyone has got to be sick and tired about hearing about this," he said. "I just want to move forward."

The gospel of John famously opens, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:14-18 makes it clear that this "Word" that John is talking about is Jesus Christ. This passage is one of many clear and powerful testimonies to the deity of Christ in the New Testament. Yet, there is a detail we often overlook: why did John call Jesus "the Word"? The answer is that the term "the Word" was highly significant to the Jewish culture of the time and in fact, made John's point about who Jesus was all the more clear.1
The Old Testament Background
In Genesis 1, we read of God speaking all things into existence. Psalm 33:6 states, "By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host." Creation was brought about through the Word of God, just as John observed of the Word, "All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being," (John 1:3). Further, the Word of God is several times described in the Old Testament as one sent forth from God to accomplish a mission, and even returning to Him afterward:
Isaiah 55:10-11, "For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth And making it bear and sprout, And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it."
Psalm 107:19-20, "Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses. He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions."
Psalm 147:15-18, "He sends forth His command to the earth; His word runs very swiftly. He gives snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes. He casts forth His ice as fragments; Who can stand before His cold? He sends forth His word and melts them; He causes His wind to blow and the waters to flow."
Further, Psalm 56 even offers praise in worship to God's Word:
Psalm 56:4, "In God, whose word I praise, In God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid. What can mere man do to me?"
Psalm 56:10-11, "In God, whose word I praise, In God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid. What can mere man do to me?"
And note how the Psalm ends:
Psalm 56:13 (ESV), "For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life."
Compare this again to John's testimony concerning the Word:
John 1:4 (ESV), "In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
Jewish Traditions
This Old Testament data alone presents us some intriguing parallels between Jesus and God's Word. However, by the time of the New Testament, this had been further developed in Jewish thought. As Messianic Jewish scholar Dr. Michael Brown explains:
"Since God was often perceived as somehow 'untouchable,' it was necessary to provide some kind of link between the Lord and his earthly creation. One of the important links was "the Word," called memra in Aramaic (from the Hebrew and Aramaic root "to say," the root used throughout the creation account in Genesis 1, when God said and the material world came into existence). We find this memra concept hundreds of times in the Aramaic Targums, the translations and paraphrases of the Hebrew Scriptures that were read in the synagogues before, during, and after the time of Jesus."2
In a Targum of Genesis 28:20-21, for example, instead of vowing that the Lord will be his God, Jacob vows that the Word of the Lord will be his God.3 In the Targum of Genesis 9:12, instead of a covenant between God and Noah, a covenant is made between God's Word and Noah.4 In places like Exodus 20:1, the Targums even have the Word speaking words of His own,5 and one late Targum of Deuteronomy 4:7 describes the Word sitting on His throne and receiving the prayers of the people.6
The Jewish philosopher, Philo of Alexandria, also relied heavily on this tradition of the Word to explain God's interactions with His creation. Writing in Greek, he utilized the word "logos" rather than the Aramaic "memra."7 Logos is the same word John utilized in his gospel.
The Samaritans appear to have shared a similar tradition. One apocryphal Samaritan work known as "Samaritan Joshua,"8 retells the story of Balaam from Numbers 22-24. When God is going to confront Balaam, the text says:
"God then desired to make a manifestation of His mysteries: now behold He could not do this Himself, nor could He do it through one who worshiped after the manner of the children of Israel, nor could He do it in writing, nor by the agency of any of His angels, but only by sending unto him His very Command. And the companion of Balaam, upon beholding the specter of the Command of God, fled away"9
The Command of God then goes on to converse with Balaam, speaking in the first person as God. God cannot, in a sense, simply appear before Balaam (which is consistent with Exodus 33:20, "man shall not see me and live"). Yet, through sending His Command, God does appear before Balaam and reveal His mysteries. Just as John 1:18 says, "No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known," (ESV).
When we put all this together, we see that the Jews of Jesus day understood the Word of God to be much more than mere communication through language. The Word was personal, interactive, and alive. The Word was sent by God to reveal God, yet spoke as God and was worthy of worship and praise as God. The Word could rightly be distinguished from God, but could just as rightly be said to be the one true God. Indeed, just as John wrote, "the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Using this established language, John could communicate the reality of the incarnation. As Dr. Brown again explains:
"If John had simply written, 'God became a human being,' that would have given a false impression, leading one to think that the Lord was no longer filling the universe or reigning in heaven, having abandoned his throne to take up residence here. Instead, John tells us that it was the divine Word that became a human being, and through the Word we know God personally"10
Thus, by using the language of "the Word," John carefully expressed the reality that Jesus was fully and completely the one true God, but He did not exhaust all that God is. The Father who sent Jesus is also the one true God. God sent God, and in this, there is no contradiction. John called Jesus "the Word" to help us see that.

Fashion's Night Out in Tokyo pulled out all stops this year for a fabulous celebration
Vogue's cult event, Fashion's Night Out headed to Tokyo last weekend for a final , and very special edition of the event. In addition to shoppers and designers, the Japanese city welcomed Vogue editors from world over, including, US' Anna Wintour, Italy's Franca Sozzani and our own Anaita Shroff Adajania.
"We have come here from all over the world because we care deeply about Japan. The Japanese love for beauty has inspired artists, architects, poets, film makers, fashion designers and editors. We come here to show our respect for Japan, to give support to Japan, and to say thank you to Japan for inspiring us," said Jonathan Newhouse, Chairman Condé Nast International.
Over 400 brands including Louis Vuitton, Prada, Missoni, Gucci and Fendi participated in the event to boost spirits and sales following the earthquake and tsunami which hit Japan earlier this year. There were styling events, specially commissioned installations, designer appearances, limited edition items and Fashion's Night Out products on sale with proceeds going to Children Without Borders and other charitable initiatives.
We got the insider news on the event from Fashion Director and Acting Editor Anaita Adajania who said that the event was a roaring success which brought together fashion's biggest names from designers and photographers to the models and editors. "The streets were full of super cool shoppers and a fresh optimism was spread," she said.
Kicking off with a special cocktail party hosted by Jonathan Newhouse at the Grand Hyatt Tokyo and a photo call for the epic image of all Vogue editors together shot by Frederic Aranda. It was followed by the opening ceremony on November 5th at the super hip Omotesando Hills complex. This year's face of FNO Japan, model Ai Tominaga hosted the ceremony which was also attended by designers Christopher Bailey, Humberto Leon and Carol Lim (of Opening Ceremony and Kenzo) and Kriss Van Assche of Dior Homme.
The following morning, the supersized FNO event had the streets round the Aoyama and Omotesando shopping districts crowded with fashion lovers and revelers all trying for photo ops with the 17 editors who visited stores and interacted with the crowds. Photographer Miles Aldridge had an exhibition of photographs of and inspired by Japan, titled Kyoto Mon Amour. The stunning images feature model Ai Tominaga, and the exhibition (and book) are supported by Louis Vuitton and Vogue Japan.
The evening wound down with a cocktail party hosted by designer Michael Kors, where "Dream Girl" Jennifer Hudson performed for the intimate gathering.

A Little Country Church With a Great Big Heart!
Mount Zion United Methodist welcomes you!
One of the very oldest churches in Marion County, Mt. Zion was founded nearly 200 years ago, in approximately 1829, when Frederick VanGilder, son of Revolutionary War soldier Jacob VanGilder, began holding prayer meetings in area homes. In 1833, Frederick and his sister Sarah purchased a house in the Mount Zion community and opened it for church services and school.
In 1846 a log church was built on land donated by Frederick and the Mt. Zion Cemetery was established. The congregation outgrew the old log church and the present edifice was built in 1875 at the cost of $1,561.66.
Like all the old churches, Mt. Zion has evolved over the centuries. But she remains a peaceful, joyous place of historical and spiritual significance, and a Light in Marion County.
The old steeple bell still rings every Sunday morning, as it has since 1875. We hope you'll drop by for a visit sometime!
Directions: Take 73 out of Fairmont toward Morgantown. Turn right onto Mt. Zion Road. Church is two miles up, on the right, just past Mt. Zion Nursery and Christmas Tree Farm.

Is your life full of energy? Do you find yourself smiling constantly throughout you day? Are you finding yourself wanting to dance everywhere? Or is dancing your life? All the above could become a part of you if you make Zumba a part of your life!
Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links (at no cost to you).
UPDATE: I no longer teach Zumba or am a Zumba instructor. I still think it's a great form of exercise, though.
Zumba is a Latin-based dance fitness class, which uses Latin and World music. It's great fun and perfect for both dancers and non-dancers!
Here are my top ten ways Zumba helps improve performance in everyday life:
1. Zumba is like a party. Going to a Zumba class is like being at a party or dancing at a nightclub. A phrase you will often hear when referring to Zumba is "Come join the party!"
2. Zumba makes you smile. When you attend a Zumba class you will find most people smiling . . . a lot!!!
3. Zumba classes get you dancing. Zumba classes use dance-based steps from different rhythms to create fun and easy, but just challenging enough, choreographed routines. Even when you've never danced before, Zumba will have you dancing and keeping up with the steps in no time.
4. Zumba is great for dancers – and makes non-dancers into dancers. Zumba is a dancer's dream. 🙂 You can do dance steps, choreography, let yourself dance freely, and just have a great time moving your body. If ballet, ballroom or a very held and position-oriented style of dance is what you do, Zumba is brilliant for loosening up your dancing. Dancers of any style need to be versatile and able to add their own personality to dance. Zumba helps you find your dance personality!
5. Zumba gives you life. Zumba can bring back energy into your life and an excitement for daily living! Zumba can provide something to look forward to or just a way to express yourself. Zumba can bring life back to people of all ages and lifestyles.
6. Zumba gives you passion. Zumba inspires passion in your life and can even develop the passionate side of your personality. Zumba can encourage passion in your family life, work, studies, sports, performing arts, friendships, love life – basically all of life.
7. Zumba increases your confidence. Ever notice how confident we feel when we move our body well or in a way that feels good? Zumba develops our passion through body movement, giving us more confidence.
8. Zumba is fabulous for coordination. Do you feel uncoordinated? Don't worry! Zumba is for everyone! For dancers and athletes, Zumba is great for maximizing and defining coordination. For less-coordinated individuals, Zumba improves coordination without feeling like work. You begin to notice yourself picking up routines quicker, keeping up with steps, and knowing what's next. Coordination will improve with regular Zumba class attendance.
9. Zumba creates runway-worthy posture. I think you've all at some point or other done a runway walk! Maybe it was with your friends, trying on clothing at a store for someone, in front of a mirror in your room, or even modeling in a fashion show. We all want to feel confident like we're walking down a runway sometimes. Get that confidence and posture to dominate your walk with Zumba!
10. Zumba is a blast! Zumba is fun! Zumba can even be described as a mind, body, and spirit class, as you feel happy, energized and more in touch with yourself afterwards. You also feel more relaxed, less stressed, and like you've had a great workout. You'll feel great about yourself!
Zumba is becoming extremely popular around the World.
Here's a fun Zumba video. Go ahead and dance along!

Christ the Key to Scriptures
Release date:
All great books are difficult to master, and according to classicist Mortimer Adler the Bible is the most challenging of all the great books. This may in part explain why there are so many varying interpretations of this sacred book. But when we begin to see the scarlet thread of redemption running from Genesis to Revelation, the Bible's central message becomes unmistakably clear.

Unbeaten New Ash Green Sunday league side wants to beat its dismal attendance record of seven fans
PUBLISHED: 12:53 10 October 2017 | UPDATED: 17:24 10 October 2017
The team is mostly made up of teenagers
A Sunday league team are making an appeal to swell their crowd numbers, pushing up their average spectators from seven to the heady heights of...10.
New Ash Green IIIs are flying high in the North Kent Sunday League and are currently sat third in the table.
Now the team - who have an average age of just 19 - say they'd love to see more people come out and cheer them on from the sidelines.
Explains skipper James Belsey who, at 33, is the veteran of the side.
He explains: "It's a proper village team; we've got lads that work at the Co-op and our striker works in the cafe. Some of the players have their mums and dads dropping them off while a load of blokes are turning up to play us. Yet we still hold our own and fly the flag.
"I play in midfield, I have to because I'm the only one who's not afraid to put the tackles in against these grown men.
"So far the most people we've had watching us is about seven, considering how well we're playing, we'd love to try and get that up to double figures, even if its 10."
The team, who boast a number of 17-year-olds - which has prompted the sports pavilion to have to change their normal diet of beer for post-match entertaining - face league leaders Swanscombe Tigers Reserves at 10.45am this Sunday and hope for a decent turn out from the locals.
Adds the skipper: "We're such a young team, all of our defenders are aged 17 or 18. Right now we're just having fun; there's a lot of banter that goes on.
"The pavilion has been putting on beer for us when we play, I've had to explain a lot of our lads can't drink, so they've had to put on sausage rolls instead."
So far they've won their opening three games, and hope more people cheering them on could lead them to league glory.
The game is played at the New Ash Green Sports Pavilion.

Washington United for Marriage Launches marriagefactcheck.com on False Claims
First Fact Check: Washington Bishops Statement on R-74
Challenging the latest release from Washington's four Catholic bishops that calls on parishioners to reject Referendum 74 and the freedom to marry, Washington United for Marriage (WUM) today launched marriagefactcheck.com
countering the bishops' assertions and reminding voters of the facts surrounding the state's bipartisan law.
In a press release issued this week, the Bishops reaffirmed their opposition to the law while at the same time, reinforced their goal to have parishes collect contributions this Sunday for Preserve Marriage Washington (PMW), the group opposing the law and R74. The statement the Bishops asked to be read in churches this Sunday is titled "Marriage and the Good of Society".
"We understand and respect that the bishops oppose the freedom to marry, but we cannot sit by and allow anyone, even the bishops, to misrepresent the law or the facts," said Zach Silk, WUM campaign manager. "Knowing what's certain to come this fall from our opponents, we're launching marriagefactcheck.
com so voters know the truth and aren't scared or swayed by continuous misrepresentations of the law."
Marriagefactcheck.com takes Issue with the following assertions made by the bishops:
1. ASSERTION: "The new law would separate marriage from procreation and the right of children to be raised by their mothers and fathers."
FACT: Including loving gay and lesbian couples in civil marriage does not in any way impact or change anyone else's marriage or family. Many heterosexual couples marry and never have children, but want the bond and commitment that is universally understood when they marry. Additionally, marriage ensures that children of same-sex couples are fully protected under the law.
2. ASSERTION: "The new law would have a chilling effect on religious liberty by making it discriminatory for public and private institutions to promote the unique value of children being raised by their biological mothers and fathers."
FACT: The new law does not affect religious marriages, religious institutions or clergy in any way. No religion would be forced to marry gay and lesbian couples, or recognize those marriages. In fact, the law specifically protects religiou
s liberty and faith leaders are free to either support the freedom to marry — as a growing number now do — or proselytize against it. Religious exemptions of this kind are now becoming the norm in marriage equality laws – as seen in New York, Connecticut, Vermont and Maryland.
3. ASSERTION: "No institution or individual could propose that married mothers and fathers provide a singular benefit to children without being accused of discrimination."
FACT: Again, the new marriage law expressly protects the right of free speech and religious speech. It simply allows all loving couples to enter into a civil marriage. In fact, the text of R74 explicitly states: "A regularly licensed or ordained minister or priest, imam, rabbi, or similar official shall be immune from any civil claim or cause of action based on a refusal to solemnize or recognize a marriage under this section…"
4. ASSERTION: "The bishops also made reference to religious institutions, including the Catholic Church, that have been forced to suspend ministries such as adoption and foster care because of conscientious objections to same-sex marriage."
FACT: The bishops like to refer to suspension of services, most notably in Massachusetts, Washington, DC and Illinois, where each Catholic charity made a decision to abandon adoption services rather than comply with existing non-discrimination laws that apply to any entity receiving state funds. Furthermore, in all cases, the conflict arose over long-standing non-discrimination laws that have nothing to do with same-sex marriage. And in the most recent case in Illinois, after getting rebuffed, the Church finally abandoned its lawsuit altogether. Finally, in each case, state and city agencies quickly moved to transfer those service to adoption and foster care agencies that would consider qualified gay and lesbian applicants.
5. ASSERTION: "The redefinition of marriage does not bestow any new legal rights on couples of the same-sex in Washington State. In 2009 a law was passed that granted to registered domestic partners every legal benefit enjoyed by couples in traditional marriages."
FACT: States that have passed civil unions have found them to be fundamentally unequal. After New Jersey enacted civil unions, in 2008, an independent Civil Union Review Commission issued a report arguing that the civil union act "invites and encourages unequal treatment of same-sex couples and their children." A commission in Vermont drew similar conclusions in 2008, nearly a decade after it passed its civil union law. Also in 2008, the Supreme Court of Connecticut struck down a statute that prohibited same-sex marriage, finding that civil unions and marriage "are by no means 'equal.'"
6. ASSERTION: "Faithful, monogamous marriages between one man and one woman will cease to be the legally-established social standard for uniting children with their parents, even though social science has established that children do best when raised in homes with married mothers and fathers."
FACT: A wealth of legitimate social research has found children of same-sex couples do not experience negative outcomes because of their parents' gender. In 2010, sociologists Judith Stacey (NYU) and Tim Biblarz (USC) conducted a review of nearly every study on gay parenting. They found that, "Current claims that children need both a mother and father are spurious…" And the American Academy of Pediatrics "recognizes that a considerable body of professional literature provides evidence that children with parents who are homosexual can have the same advantages and the same expectations for health, adjustment, and development as can children whose parents are heterosexual."

A recent analysis suggests that laptops on average only last up to three years.
U.S. (WiredPRNews.com) – A recent analysis proposed the life span of laptops is not as long as some might expect. As reported on the Yahoo! Tech blog, the SquareTrade analysis of 30,000 laptops showed the average life span of a laptop to be up to three years.
As noted in the report, a number of factors impact how long a laptop will last, or why they eventually break down including hardware malfunctions caused by mishaps such as drops. SquareTrade is quoted in the blog article as stating of the findings, "the typical laptop endures more use and abuse than nearly any other consumer electronic device (with the possible exception of cell phones)."
Noted protections for laptops include the use of a padded case when transporting them places to provide protection from accidents and elements.

Earthworks, while best known for its catalog of super- accurate microphones, also produces a line of microphone preamps based on the philosophy of extremely-low distortion and fast-responding circuitry. Transformerless and fully differential amplifier designs with no electrolytic capacitors in the signal path ensure ultra-wide frequency response and extremely-low nonlinear distortion of less than 0.0001%. The late David Blackmer, Earthworks' founder and principal designer, who was also the db in dbx, dubbed these characteristics ZDT, or Zero Distortion Technology. The 521 ZDT preamp introduces Earthworks mic preamps into the 500-series format at an affordable price.
The 521 ZDT boasts a frequency response ranging from 2 Hz to 200 kHz with only 0.5 dB of variation - while up to 100 kHz, the frequency response is essentially ruler flat. The transformerless circuit provides an input impedance of 100 kΩ without phantom power and 10 kΩ with phantom power applied. Those very high input impedances provide a load that does not color the microphone's sound, further ensuring transparent amplification. The noise floor of the 521 ZDT lies well below virtually all commercial mic preamps, and below the self-noise of most microphones. These details, along with other design features, add up to a mic preamp that can faithfully amplify the microphone's signal with close to zero coloration and distortion.
The 521 ZDT provides one channel of microphone preamp in a single-space 500-series module. The module's matte-black front panel with simple white lettering matches the other Earthworks preamps and provides easily- legible legends for all its controls. A large, stepped rotary switch controls the preamp's gain from 5 dB to 60 dB in 12 steps. Three small toggle switches turn on phantom power, switch signal polarity, and mute the output, while very bright LEDs indicate the presence of mains power, phantom power, and signal clipping. Additionally, the front panel provides a 1/4'' TRS output jack with a companion rotary attenuator to feed balanced or unbalanced devices, from 0 dB to -20 dB with respect to the main gain control setting, while the main output, typically available in the back of 500 racks, provides a balanced output capable of driving long lines at levels up to +29 dBu.
Earthworks provided a pair of 521 ZDT preamps for evaluation along with a pair of their fantastic QTC40 condenser mics. I used the preamps in my six-space API lunchbox with the QTC40 condensers, as well as many other dynamic and condenser mics. When used with stereo pairs of mics, the ZDT preamps provide an extremely natural and 3-dimensional representation of the source, without any high-frequency smearing or crunchiness. Acoustic guitar, with mics placed at both the 12th fret and in front of the body of the guitar, sounded extremely natural and sat nicely in rock and pop productions. There is a sort of relaxed quality to recordings using the ZDT preamps. I could easily EQ in some extra top end or scoop out the lows and mids to fit the guitar into a mix without the phasey artifacts that sometimes haunt EQ'ed acoustic guitar tracks. Mics and preamps that accurately reproduce such an extremely wide frequency response provide a much more natural sound, even inside the limited frequency response of our typical productions. Drum overheads, especially when using the QTC mics, provided extremely natural dynamics and realistic transient response, which produced a very realistic and natural picture of the drum kit. Again, when using the ZDT preamps, I could EQ the kit without adding harshness or distortion to the cymbal overtones, and the toms sounded full and rich in the overheads. On hi-hat, a ribbon mic into the 521 ZDT provided a fantastic, clear sound without any splatter or crushed high-end that condenser mics and preamps with electrolytic caps sometimes bring forth. While there is no pad on the 521 ZDT, the 5 dB minimum gain setting allowed the preamp to be used in many instances where other preamps would require a pad. I also found the coarse gain steps to be fine enough that the variable output never seemed necessary. Perhaps the variable output would have been useful if I were recording a string ensemble and needed to precisely match the stereo image for two channels.
Overall, the 521 ZDT preamp provides extremely natural and accurate reproduction. The preamp doesn't color the microphone in any perceptible way, but maintains the size and imaging of the source. Recording with such transparent and uncolored preamps allows a certain amount of freedom to process or color the signal later without bringing out the limitations of the recording chain. It may take a moment to shift your ears and brain to appreciate the open sound that the preamp produces, but after working with those sounds, you will realize that the added depth and clarity ultimately benefit the instrument and production. In some cases, colored preamps may flatter the source, but sometimes the pure gain of the Earthworks 521 ZDT is just the ticket.

Miller's unsolved mystery
Who knew Arthur Miller yearned to be Mickey Spillane? In his 1982 one-act, "Some Kind of Love Story," now at the Hayworth Theatre, the playwright serves up a dime novel plot complete with trench coats, bishop-tempting blonds and cops on the take. Somewhere outside of Boston, private eye Tom (Jack Kehler) pays a visit to Angie (Beege Barkette), nursing a fresh bruise and a case of the mean reds. Like all femme noires, she holds the clues not only to a murder investigation but also to the detective himself. Is the corruption to which she alludes endemic to the system or just Tom's inability to follow an inner compass?
Watching America's fiercest stage moralist play with hard-boiled conventions has its curious pleasures, including a few choice turns of phrase. ("The whole criminal justice system could be picked up by the tail like a dead rat.") But director Michael Arabian, who staged last year's raw, sweet revival of "Danny and the Deep Blue Sea," doesn't have a strong hold on the material, which, admittedly, is as erratic as Angie's apparent multiple personalities.
As the two players thrash around John Iacovelli's boudoir set, it's hard to tell if Miller is experimenting with tone -- "Love" veers from realism to risible melodrama -- or trying to say something larger about American corruption.
The throaty Barkette does what she can to make sense of an archetype and finds a way to inhabit Miller's two-dimensional terrain. But she seems mismatched with Kehler, whose wide-eyed stare and lack of inflection gives his performance an odd comic spin. In the end, Arabian's intrepid production can't solve the mystery of what Miller was after in this intriguing but uneven experiment.

Innovators in an uneasy team-up
Sex. Death. Clown. Seems like it's getting harder and harder to tell them apart these days, no?
Yet this tersely suggestive tagline is only the launching point for the many boundaries blurred in "Fables du Theatre," the latest salvo from Hollywood's Unknown Theater.
With this original work -- a trio of modern cautionary tales loosely adapted by Brenda Varda from themes in classic French literature -- the always-edgy company may have met its match in its highly touted teaming with Immanence Theatre Artists, a California-based avant-garde troupe that, despite reported run-ins with the law over past site-specific guerrilla performances (chronicled at www.immanencetheatreartists.com), remains even more unknown than the Unknowns.
This uneasy collaboration is a textbook illustration of possibilities and pitfalls at the creative edge; rather than a seamless union, it showcases artistic tensions between two very different theatrical approaches. Director Chris Covics and his Unknown performers attempt a relatively disciplined formal staging amid a striking visual design inspired by the apocalyptic paintings of local artist Edward Walton Wilcox. Immanance artistic director Marva Lewis, who appears as emcee and in various roles, presides over a more unruly group that seems ill at ease performing in traditional theater settings.
Surmounting opening night snafus through sheer intensity and commitment, the combined casts navigated a freewheeling, sometimes overreaching tour of archetypal "careful what you wish for" parables with contemporary resonance.
Where the Unknown and Immanence performers find common ground is in gleefully taking a wrecking ball to the fourth wall. Patrons arriving half an hour before curtain time may encounter cast members adrift in the lobby. Once the proper show gets underway, Lewis turns Varda's intricate script into a series of nested realities and violated expectations, more reminiscent of the late Andy Kaufman's performance art than a classically well-made play. Whether it stretches your imagination or drives you crazy will depend on your tolerance for chaos and indeterminacy. The less you take at face value here, the better. Especially here.

"Fables du Theatre," Unknown Theater, 1110 N. Seward St., Hollywood. 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, 6 p.m. Sundays. Ends Sept. 27. $24, $18 advance. (323) 466-7781. Running time: 2 hours, 20 minutes
Sketchy attempt at bad-play satire
You have to give props to the Merry Art Player. Literally. Opening night of their season coincides with flu season, and 19 of the 23 cast members have succumbed. They're the lucky ones.
Will this calamity cancel the revival of a vintage home-invasion melodrama that merges "The Desperate Hours" and "Father Knows Best"? Ha! Though riddled with stage-frightened replacements, absent cues and misfired lights, the show must go on. Who will be standing by the final curtain is a shakier question.
That's the gist of "Suffer the Long Night," and a promising notion lurks beneath Greg Glienna and Mary Ruth Clarke's spoof of community theater cliches. Glienna's direction relies on fistfuls of confetti for snow and phones that ring after being picked up, not to mention intentionally tacky designs and pompous faux-program bios.
Accordingly, the tireless actors play their running gags and bad-acting goofs to the busted hilt. Pam Levin mixes aplomb and apoplexy as diva Meredith Lipschitz-Sinclair. Jeffrey Markle does yeoman work as her husband, a recovering alcoholic undone by real booze onstage. As the play-within-a-play's dad, grandmother and mustache-challenged detective, Jon Van Middlesworth earns the evening's Bob Balaban award. Stephanie Manglaras' rheumy ingenue, Kipleigh Brown's unlikely child and Glienna's monotone thug are among other notables in a daffy cast.
However, it's a fine line between pretend bad and downright lame. The script doesn't develop its backstage barbs in sync with the onstage meltdowns, which creates a slow deflation of uproar, less "Noises Off" or "Waiting for Guffman" than a Carol Burnett skit on steroids. "Suffer" may tickle travesty fans, but it's a sketch-weight premise in search of a satirical play.

I started using ubuntu 16.04 a couple months ago. It came with LO (184.108.40.206). I was learning AOO Base under windows before switching to ubuntu.
Writer and calc are ok, but I'm having trouble with LO Base and getting nowhere toward a resolution. To get work done, I want to install AOO and use it as I did before. Under windows I had LO and AOO installed side by side, and I could use either one.
This page says to remove LO in order to install AOO. I'd rather not do that, in case my AOO install doesn't work and I'm stuck without any office s/w at all.
This page talks about removing a symlink to soffice, explaining "This will NOT remove LibreOffice, this will only disallow LibreOffice to redirect the normal OpenOffice binary -- typically /usr/bin/soffice -- to libreoffice instead."
I don't know what that means. Does it mean that I wouldn't be able to use LO unless I recreated the symlink? Would recreating the symlink disable AOO?
The title of this thread seems to talk about using both LO and AOO side by side as before.
Most of the thread seems to talk about creating desktop shortcuts. But in the first post it says, "I installed OpenOffice without running the desktop integration deb."
I don't know what that means. I used to work with ksh scripts on unix 10 years ago, so I'm familiar with the command line and scripts. But this environment is very different.
I have the AOO *tar.gz downloaded. Can someone walk me through a procedure to set up what I want? If it's possible.
