The artist
About William Scharf
William Scharf is a painter whose subject is color. Scharf, a late-generation Abstract Expressionist and who apprenticed in the studio of Mark Rothko, applies paint in translucent layers to achieve depth and luminosity. He creates groups of paintings around the theme of a single color, working in a variety of scales and using shapes both geometric and biomorphic. Series have been dedicated to blue, silver, and gold, but black and white appear with the most frequency. As he explains: "Very young children discover how dark marks on white paper or white chalk on black become adventures; explorations of a kind that could haunt and obsess the entire life of a painter."

I LOVE LUCY. But not the red headed one. I love THIS Lucy.
If you watch HGTV, read Southern Living, or are from the South then you might be familiar with Lucy Farmer. But if you don't have cable, don't read magazines, or aren't from the South then let me introduce you to this inspiring lady.
Two years ago, right after I launched the Agra Culture website, and about a week after my home was featured on The Everygirl (HERE), I got my very first form submission email through my website...from Lucy.
Ya'll do not even know how ecstatic I was to receive that very first email. If you're a small business owner, then you'll understand what I felt. When you first launch your site and no one in the world knows who you are, that you even exist, or what your company is about, that first contact from anyone is a magical moment. When your new company inbox goes for days with NO emails...then all of sudden your inbox says (1 NEW) and it's not spam...pure magic.
I had seen Lucy featured in several Southern editorials and knew all about her architectural hardware jewelry line; Lucy's Inspired. So to be acknowledged by, and receive an email from a Lady Boss I admired was awesome. To this day, I still cherish that first email as a tiny milestone in this crazy small business journey.
After that first email, Lucy has stayed a constant inspiration and encouragement to me. She has supported and been a part of Agra Culture from the very first event and I am so thankful for her friendship. Being a small business owner is crazy and doesn't leave much time for extra things, especially when you have a family, but somehow Lucy uses her superwoman powers and always makes time to join together with me in small business collaborations or simply take time to chat.
As I said before, small business people are crazy, and Lucy is no exception. Apart from being a wife, mom, Interior Designer, and jewelry designer; she was also a contestant on HGTV's Beach Flip last year (see her and Daphney's Renovation HERE). I don't know how she does it, but I need her to teach me her ways.
Lucy started out working and designing with Southern Accents Architectural Antiques in Cullman, Alabama. If you're in the Southeast, you have to make a trip to SA...it's one of our personal favorites spots to visit every couple of months, to wander through rooms filled with salvaged items from homes around the country. History can be seen around every corner. This is where Lucy discovered her passion for hardware and salvaged trinkets. Her distinct eye for detail mixed with the tiny treasures she found at the shop, birthed her first collection of handcrafted, hardware accessories. Each piece she creates is unique; a one of kind accessory that tells it's own story. Check out her online shop to pick out your favorite trinket.
One of her personal favorite items are the Lucy's Inspired prisms necklaces. Each one has a delicate chandelier crystal hanging from different chains; its the perfect decorative piece to add to any outfit, and we love the addition of the antique key on every chain! The prisms have been one of her best sellers, and a trademark item for the Lucy's Inspired brand from the start.
This year, Lucy also launched her "Inspired to Give" collection. A prism necklace set with a mission to spread happiness, hope, and unity -- one to wear, and one to share! Forget friendship bracelets and BFF necklaces from the 80's, these prisms are timeless and delicate and the perfect gift to share with someone close to you.
True to her brand's name, Lucy is an inspiration to me.
Who inspires you; and who will YOU inspire?

Making the Links in Family Violence Cases: Collaboration among the Family, Child Protection and Criminal Justice Systems
Chapter 4 - Identification of multiple proceedings
Coordination within the court systems is only possible when the various individuals involved – the parties, court staff, judges, lawyers – are aware that there are in fact multiple proceedings or orders and that these are relevant to one another. Often, however, one court does not know about proceedings ongoing in another court.Footnote 203
In some cases, the family members involved may realize that there are connections between what is happening in a criminal proceeding and a family and/or child protection proceeding, and bring this to the attention of the courts. For a variety of reasons, however, this may not occur, particularly where those individuals are unrepresented in some or all of the proceedings:
- Family members may assume that all parts of the court system are connected to one another, and that there is an automatic sharing of information about cases.
- Family members may not realize that the proceedings or orders are relevant to one another. For example, an individual who has been assaulted, and whose intimate partner has been charged criminally may not realize that the courts will consider this as a factor in determining the best interests of the child in family or child protection proceedings.
- Family members may simply not know what is going on in the other proceedings or may not understand sufficiently to be able to provide helpful information. Particularly in a time of crisis, it can be very difficult for people to understand the legal system and its various components.
Having legal representation can have a positive impact on coordination, as this may make it more likely that the presence of multiple proceedings will be brought to the attention of the court. There are challenges even in this situation, however. There may be more than one lawyer involved per party – for example, different lawyers may be acting in the criminal and family proceedings. A child may also have legal representation by a children's lawyer where the circumstances require their interests to be protected.Footnote 204 In this situation, communication and coordination are required between the lawyers. In other cases, the parties may be represented for some proceedings but not others. In either scenario, the lawyers involved will need to have a sufficient knowledge of the other proceedings to recognize where such communication and coordination are required.
The reality, however, is that large numbers of individuals navigating the court system are unrepresented. Within this context, it is important for the court system to be able to identify where there are multiple proceedings involving the same parties. In an ideal world, this would mean that on an ongoing and systematic basis, computer systems would be able to identify and match cases from different court systems involving some or all of the same parties.
Currently in Canada, there is no jurisdiction which has the technological capacity to do this systematic matching on an ongoing basis. The information management systems in the various courts across the country were not developed with this type of matching in mind. While the databases, case management systems and technological platforms differ among courts in Canada, there are some common challenges to achieving this systematic matching capability.
The records of civil (family, child protection, protection order) and criminal cases are generally housed in different systems. In many cases, the various systems use distinct technological platforms and as a result, it is not technologically possible for the systems to speak to one another. To add an additional complication, it is sometimes the case that provincial and superior court computer databases are not linked. So for example, in some situations there may not be an automatic linking of family law cases between the same parties in both provincial and superior court.Footnote 205
It is possible to do a manual search of the various databases. For example, this could involve taking a list of criminal cases, and individually cross-referencing them by name and date of birth, with family and child protection files. This is, however, very time-consuming and in larger jurisdictions, it may take several hours to search the new cases that appear on a court docket in a single day. In smaller jurisdictions or in specific areas, however, this may be more feasible and there are examples of this happening in Canada. For example, as discussed further below, the Domestic Violence Court in Moncton, New Brunswick relies upon manual searches to link cases.
There are also practical challenges whether the search is done manually or automatically. First, there can be human error in inputting the information; misspelled or incorrect names or dates of birth can hamper searching. It is also not uncommon in the criminal system for an accused to be identified by several aliases and/or dates of birth. Second, if searches are being conducted by keyword, for example "family violence," cases may be missed, since standard clauses or terms are not always used by the judiciary and legal community. Third, various court registries may record different information about case files. For example, family law cases may be coded based on the names of the parents, in the child protection context, the case may be coded based only on the child's name. At a minimum, there should be two common identifiers for family members: a name and an additional piece of information such as date of birth. If these same two identifiers are not collected in all court registries, matching becomes more difficult. Fourth, there is the issue of which officials have access to which databases. In some jurisdictions, staff in the provincial court will only have access to provincial court files, and the same will hold true for superior court files. In other cases, access may be limited to the extent that clerks for the family court in one particular location will only have access to the cases in that location and not to cases province-wide. This may also hold true for the criminal system. Where access is restricted in this way, it limits the number of cases that it is possible to search. Finally, it is worth noting that these issues present themselves in the context of a search within one jurisdiction. In situations where family members have crossed provincial or territorial boundaries, there may be multiple proceedings taking place in different jurisdictions. Searches within one jurisdiction will not identify cases from another jurisdiction. Overcoming these technological issues involves substantial investments of financial, technological and human resources.
There are also some privacy issues that must be considered in this context. The sharing of information between court registries will not be an issue in most cases. Particular care, however, needs to be taken to protect privacy interests and to comply with relevant legislative provisions in cases involving youth justice, child protection, as well as in cases where there is a publication ban or sealed court files. This becomes a particular concern where there is the possibility that individuals apart from court staff may have access to files. For more information on privacy considerations see Chapter 7.
4.1 Promising practices
In the absence of automatic matching of cases, there are nonetheless a number of examples of Canadian and international initiatives to help ensure that the various court systems are aware of proceedings or orders from other court systems.
4.1.1 Identifying family violence cases
In addressing the practical challenges associated with identifying where there may be multiple proceedings involving the same parties, one approach is achieving consistent file designation of the relevant cases within each court system. Even if the designated family violence cases are under-inclusive, (which they likely are in family court where litigants may not disclose incidents of family violence), properly coded family violence files and records can facilitate cross-referencing of cases between court systems, and, where required, improve the manual searching of various databases. A number of Canadian jurisdictions flag cases involving family violence in the context of criminal proceedings, and this is of course automatic in domestic violence courts. In contrast, the flagging of cases in the family law system is uncommon.
Systematically flagging family violence cases allows for easy identification and tracking of these cases through the system, as well as the uniform collecting and recording of appropriate information and data. Given the complexity of family violence cases, this requires developing common definitions and directives to ensure appropriate coding, and training of all personnel to help ensure consistency. While flagging of court files may be one approach to promote coordination between systems, on its own, however, it is not sufficient. The information about the cases that are flagged in one system needs to be communicated to the other systems.
4.1.2 Requiring litigants to provide information about related proceedings and orders
In Ontario, several amendments related to information sharing about court orders were brought into effect on March 1st, 2010, when the Children's Law Reform ActFootnote 206 was amended by the Family Statute Law Amendment Act, 2009.Footnote 207 The amendments were a response to the death of a child in Ontario, who was voluntarily placed by her mother with a friend, who then sought a custody order. The caregiver and her partner were subsequently charged with the child's murder. The application for custody said very little; the caregiver's application indicated that the mother had a drug addiction and had lost other children to the Children's Aid Society (CAS). The record showed that the judge asked the mother a few questions regarding her knowledge of the caregiver, her friend of many years, and about the friend's partner. The information was given orally in response to questions by the court; there was no sworn evidence.
As of March 1, 2010, anyone (including parents) who applies for custody or access to a child has to complete a parenting affidavit. (An electronic version can be found at www.ontariocourtforms.on.ca under the Family Law Rules—Form 35.1: Affidavit in support of claim for custody or access). Part A of Form 35.1 requires everyone applying for custody or access (including parents) to provide information on:
- Any aliases or other names used, including maiden name;
- Whether they have acted as a parent for other children (excluding foster parents);
- Court cases involving custody or access to a child, or if they have been involved as a caregiver in a child protection case;
- Whether they have been found guilty of criminal offences without pardon, and whether there are any current criminal charges;
- Any violence to a spouse, parent of the child, member of the household;
- Where a child has lived since birth; and
- A detailed parenting plan.
Part B of the form must be completed by all non-parentsFootnote 208 and requires additional information about:
- Any children involved in child protection cases;
- Police records check (similar to a vulnerable sector police check); and
- Where they have lived in Ontario since they turned 18 or became a parent. This is so that notices can be sent to different CAS agencies throughout the province.
The non-parent applicant is required to sign a form authorizing any CAS in any Ontario jurisdiction where they have lived to report back if they have any records relating to the person (as a caregiver, not as a child) and the dates their files were opened and closed. There are 53 independent CAS in Ontario, which means that several agencies may be asked for confirmation. There is no sharing of records among the CAS and in some areas, there are multiple agencies operating in parallel. For example, if a litigant lives or has lived in Toronto, record requests must be sent to the Children's Aid Society of Toronto, the Catholic Children's Aid Society of Toronto, Jewish Family and Children's Services and Native Child and Family Services.
In cases involving a non-parent applicant for custody, court staff run a report to identify whether the person was involved in other family court cases (this includes child protection cases) in their local court as well as province-wide.
Given the extra information now potentially being filed in court files, including police records check, CAS records, mental health records, etc., a new section was introduced to the Children's Law Reform ActFootnote 209, to protect people's privacy. This amendment allows all or part of the normally publicly available court file to be restricted or subject to a non-publication order for anyone referred to in the file (this is known as a section 70 order). The court shall consider the nature and sensitivity of the information when making an order for access to information.
There are a number of benefits associated with the section 35.1 affidavit. First, the affidavit requires the disclosure of personal information that may raise flags and it encourages all parties to articulate a plan. Second, for non-parents, courts will have access to a significant amount of information: the affidavit, a recent record check, reports from any CAS operating in Ontario and a report that identifies family court file matches involving those families. This record check targets the family courts, but can also include criminal courts at the judge's request. This may happen for example, if there is reason to believe the criminal record check is missing something. As a result of all this information, a parent who consents to the transfer of custody to a non-parent will be able to reassess their position based on a more complete record.
There are, however, certain drawbacks to the requirement for the affidavit. First, the definition of "parent" does not include a same-sex partner who has not adopted the child. While those in this situation can ask for a court declaration that they are a parent, it adds an extra step to the process. There are also some drawbacks related to the process for non-parents. The CAS record search can be cumbersome. Court staff are required to figure out which CAS has jurisdiction, and in a municipality like Toronto, this is not a very straightforward search given the number of different agencies and data systems. Further, the procedure takes time. Police can take up to 60 days for a criminal records check. CAS has 30 days to reply to requests, indicating the existence of any files on that person, the dates of opening and closing and whether there are any outstanding files. If the records check comes back clear, that information goes into an envelope and gets sealed. But if there are existing records, that information is shared with the applicant who then has 20 days to tell the court why they feel the information contained in the file should not be made part of the court record. After those 20 days elapse, the fact that there is a CAS record is shared with the parent authorizing the custody transfer, and is put in the court records. If a party wishes to see the CAS record, they would need to bring a motion for production.
In New Brunswick, section 7 of the Family Services ActFootnote 210 specifies that in all family cases where there is an application for custody, whether under that Act or the Divorce Act,Footnote 211 the court must advise the Minister of Social Development of the case and inquire whether the Minister plans to intervene.
In Quebec, under the Rules of practice of the Superior Court of Québec in family mattersFootnote 212 the party requesting custody or tutorship of a child must attest that the child is not the object of a court decision or pending case, or of an agreement with the Director of Youth Protection, or, if such is the case, must give the details of such decision, case or agreement.
In British Columbia, the Family Law ActFootnote 213 (FLA) requires that anyone applying to court for guardianship of a child (mostly non-parents) will be required to provide an affidavit (under section 51 of the FLA and the court rules) to provide evidence about whether the appointment of this person as guardian is in the best interests of that child. The affidavit must include copies of a child protection records check, protection order registry check and criminal records check.
There are other approaches to having litigants bring forward information about related proceedings contained in civil/domestic family violence legislation. In Manitoba, the Domestic Violence and Stalking Act,Footnote 214requires a person applying for a protection order or a prevention order to provide the details of any order or agreement to which the applicant and respondent are parties, including those for custody or access, and other protection and prevention orders. The Australian Family Law Act 1975 requires a party to a proceeding for a parenting order to inform the court about family violence orders (civil protection orders) relevant to the child or a member of a child's family.Footnote 215 Similarly, a party to a proceeding who is aware that a child, who is the subject of an application for a parenting order or another child of that family, is under the care of a person pursuant to child welfare laws, must inform the court. Further, a party to a proceeding must inform the court if they are aware of any notification or report to a child protection agency or investigation by a child protection agency in relation to either a child who is the subject of a parenting order application, or another child of the child's family.Footnote 216
4.1.3 Requirement on court to inquire about family violence
In addition to the requirement on parties to bring forward information about family violence orders as well as child protection orders, reports and investigations, the Australian Family Law Act, 1975 also requires the courts to inquire about the existence of family violence or abuse. In child-related proceedings, the court is required to ask each party to the proceedings whether they have any concerns about family violence or abuse, either in respect of themselves or the child.Footnote 217 The intent of these provisions is to encourage the disclosure of information about family violence or abuse so that the courts can make parenting arrangements that are in the best interests of the child and provide for safety. In response to these inquiries by the court, family members may bring other relevant proceedings or orders to the attention of the court.
4.1.4 Court coordinators
As noted above, the Domestic Violence Court in Moncton, New Brunswick has made connections with the family courts to ensure that relevant cases are matched. The Moncton Domestic Violence Court is the first of its kind east of Ontario. Although the court is a Provincial Court dealing solely with criminal matters, it has successfully bridged an information-sharing gap between the criminal and family justice systems.
A court coordinator collects information from Family Division court records, including both child protection matters (Department of Social Development) and private family law matters. The information is shared with the Crown prosecutor prior to the Domestic Violence Court sessions. Immediate key partners of the Domestic Violence Court consult on a regular basis such as police, Crown prosecutors, legal aid, probation and a Victim Services coordinator. The court coordinator and the Domestic Violence Court stenographer distribute a weekly Domestic Violence Court docket by email to immediate key partners (such as the RCMP, Crown attorney's office, probation staff, Victim Services and the Department of Social Development). Child protection services use this information to flag cases of interest appearing at the Domestic Violence Court. To prevent the issuing of conflicting court orders between the criminal and family justice system, the coordinator consults the family court information system on a weekly basis to cross-reference potential overlapping domestic violence cases, by using identifying information of offenders and victims scheduled to appear in Domestic Violence Court each week. If documents in the Family Justice file indicate that there is a child custody and access matter, copies of court orders are provided to the Crown prosecutor. The Domestic Violence Court coordinator is informed by child protection workers of their involvement in the file and in response, the coordinator provides the status of domestic violence court files to the child protection workers and the Victim Services coordinators.
In addition, the Domestic Violence Court coordinator's role includes distributing information about provincial court orders to victims of domestic violence and child protection social workers. One factor which reportedly enhances the bridging of information exchanges between key stakeholders is that there is a designated staff person in each sector dedicated to domestic violence files. Information-sharing protocols developed between RCMP and Victim Services enhance victims' safety at the Domestic Violence Court. Furthermore, Victim Services coordinators can notify victims of domestic violence crimes who register for the service, about the movement of offenders. In Saskatchewan, the domestic violence court coordinators connect with Child Protection prior to court dates and Child Protection is an active participant in the Steering Committees for each court.
4.1.5 Technological innovations
Since 2010, the province of New Brunswick has been gradually implementing a complete electronic court case management system for most levels of court across the province, namely the Court of Queen's Bench, including Family Division and Trial Divisions (civil matters only) and the Probate, Bankruptcy, and Small Claims courts. The new system is called NOTA. An existing criminal justice database called Justice Information Services New Brunswick (JISNB) is being used by Court Services staff for the purpose of recording information related to clients and court proceedings involving the provincial criminal justice system, as well as selected case information for Court of Queen's Bench criminal trials (superior court).
Ongoing developments of NOTA have included: document production and management, case history, scheduling (including assignment of judiciary and dockets for sheriffs, Crown prosecutors and court stenographers), some disposition information, and an electronic index book. The final phase of implementation of NOTA will include advanced public access so that with a case number and a PIN, any plaintiff, applicant, petitioner, respondent, witness or juror can access information about their own case, particularly their schedule and requirements.
With respect to the coordination between criminal and civil systems, consideration of the feasibility of integrating the criminal database electronically with NOTA is being explored, which, if implemented, would enable staff to conduct manual searches and to cross-reference connected cases by linking the cases (but not the parties) within the system. Court Services staff can currently search any non criminal case in NOTA by party name, region, and/or type of case. If the case has a scheduled court appearance, they can also search by lawyer name.
Other provinces as well are looking at technological enhancements. For example, Prince Edward Island has a committee examining the feasibility of establishing a database of criminal and family law orders.
Internationally there are also some good examples. The State of New York has an Automatic Case Identification System (ACIS). This system reads and matches cases from the criminal and family law databases on a daily basis. The family database includes civil protection cases, custody and visitation cases, child support cases, and in about half of the areas of the state, child protection matters. After the automatic matching is complete, a clerk will go through the list to verify it. Once a match is confirmed, it will be assigned a family number which is used to track the family for the purpose of all proceedings.
4.1.6 Other
Other approaches are also possible to facilitate awareness by courts of related cases. For example, when the Erie County Integrated Domestic Violence (IDV) Court, which hears both family and criminal cases, was introduced in Erie County, New York, in December 2003, as part of the approach to identifying IDV Court eligible cases, police in Buffalo began a practice of asking parties involved in misdemeanour family violence cases whether they had any ongoing divorce or family cases. Subsequently, the police would put an IDV Court transfer form in the case file to alert staff at the criminal court and of the Buffalo City Domestic Violence Court to check for related family or matrimonial cases.

Costa Rica Living Yahoo Group
I recommend anyone with an interest in Costa Rica join the CostaRicaLiving yahoo group - go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CostaRicaLiving and join. I've always had their site listed in the Online Central America Resources page here, and I wouldn't have it if I thought it weren't useful.
Strangely, I was recently accused of having a different perspective on that very same group, in http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CostaRicaLiving/message/89939:
It's interesting that on this Central America forum, Peter Christopher really
rags on CRL and it moderators and accuses them of censorship to promote their
own agendas. However, his invitation was posted on CRL. Hmmm.
I responded as follows:
Hi Harriet -
You wrote, "Peter Christopher really rags on CRL and it moderators and accuses them of censorship to promote their own agendas".
Where does this happen? I just reread all the posts I could find that are related to censorship, and I did not find anything I would describe this way. Is it possible you are mixing up my analysis of "nicaliving" and "costaricaliving", or that you are mixing up what I wrote with what someone else wrote?
For the record, like many others I have had some of my messages not accepted for posting here at CostaRicaLiving. The first couple times I was offended, but after I thought about it some more, considered the complexity of the task of moderation, and corresponded with the moderators, I realized that they do quite a good job. Some of their policies (like the everything goes day as just one example) are I think highly effective, and I've suggested them on other email yahoo groups trying to deal with similar issues.
Thousands of people have had their experiences in Costa Rica improved by the presence of the CostaRicaLiving yahoo group - its members and its dedicated volunteer moderators.

I think sometimes it's easy to misinterpret what another person has written; lilkely, that's all that happened.

Hi there, I have enrolled my 2 children in the local school in Samara for the next 6 weeks. I am very grateful that the school would allow them to attend. (They are in a dual immersion spanish program at home in the U.S.). My daughter will be 8 on June 24th, she just finished 2nd grade in the U.S. and was placed in 3rd grade here. My son just turned 6 on April 1, and just finished Kinder in the U.S. He was placed in 2nd grade here. The problem is there is too much writing for him, and the work is beyond him. He has 8 year olds in his class. When I talked to the school they said it is all done based on age. What I understood her to say is that they have to be 5 years and 9 months or younger on February 15th to be in 1st grade. My son was 5 years and 10.5 months on February 15th. But if I'm understanding her correctly, I don't understand why there would be 8 year olds in the class. Am I understanding her that there are age maximums for the grades? Lastly, here is the other part I don't understand. She said he could go into Kinder here. But not 1st grade. Why would he be allowed to go into Kinder? My spanish is poor, the teachers english was okay. Something is getting lost in translation. Can anyone explain this to me?

Usually a company more associated with heatsinks than chassis, Scythe has just released the ultra silent Fenris Wolf. With all aluminium construction and a whisper quiet cooling system, can the Fenris Wolf prove a worthy entry into the enthusiast case market? Read on to find out!
Today we take a look at the Hiper Osiris, a case made almost entirely from military grade metal alloy. Can this military wannabee pass muster and be promoted to bit-tech greatness, or will it wash out at boot camp? Read on to find out!
The ThermalTake Armour+ may not be everyones idea of a great-looking case, but it certainly has it where it counts. We take a look at the rather striking Armour+ to see if this LAN gamers case can withstand our testing of if it is more a case of -Armour. Ha!
The Enthusiast System Architecture is now upon us with the release of the Cosmos ESA from Cooler Master.
There's nothing quite like the strong, sleek and sensuous feel of a Lian-Li case - having one is like falling in love would be if you ever fell in love with an aluminium PC case. Or is it? We found out.
PSUs are one of the most essential but least understood components of any computer system. We thoroughly tested six 700W to 850W PSUs to discover exactly what you should let near your expensive components and the results proved somewhat surprising.
Cooler Master have a long heritage in making premium aluminium cases to die for. We examine their latest Stacker, the CMStacker 830, to find out whether the magic is still there. To give you a hint, it's a corker!
Looking for a stylish, silent case with shedloads of storage? The Antec P180 might just be up your alley: 11 drive bays, noise damping panels and a trio of low-noise 120mm fans. Perfect for a home media server.
In an exclusive first look, we give Hiper's new Media Chassis a once over. This slimline silver wonder supports Micro-ATX motherboards and will look great underneath your TV. It looks the biz, but does it do the job?

Please call Public Works at 801-544-8112 during regular business hours, or 801-299-7733 after-hours, if you see water running in the street or on your property.
Low Water Pressure Inside Your Home
Low water pressure may be the result of problems with your plumbing system or it may result from a problem in the pipeline serving your area. If you have low water pressure often, you may have debris in your pipes, water supply and other valves may not be open, or you may have leaks. To address low pressure problems inside your home, you should call a plumber and have your system checked.
A sudden drop in water pressure may result from a water main leak or other malfunction. Typically, several homes in an area will be affected.
To report a problem with low water pressure, please call our Public Works Department at 801-544-8112.
Reporting Brown Water and Bad Tasting Water
Brown water occurs when normal sediments in the water lines become stirred up or "agitated." Agitation can occur when the lines are turned off for repairs or when a line breaks. The brown color is usually from iron (rust) particles that come off of the older pipes. Although it is undesirable, the water is safe to drink. The color can stain white clothes in the washing machine. Try to eliminate the brown color by running your cold water for 15 to 20 minutes. If the color does not go away, the outside lines may need to be flushed.
To report persistent brown water, contact us at 801-544-8112.
The City currently has empty sandbags available at the Operations Center, 721 W Old Mill Lane. Citizens may bring bags and then go to a stockpile location to fill up their bags. Please return the bags after they are no longer needed.
The City-provided bags are intended for flood preparation. We are currently limiting people to 30 bags a piece. If more are needed, they are available to purchase at Lowe's or Home Depot for relatively low cost.
If people are currently or imminently going to be impacted by a stream, they would need to get sandbags from Davis County Public Works due to the fact that the county services those waterways. Call 801-444-2230 or visit 1500 E 650 N Fruit Heights.
Please call Kaysville City Public Works at 801-544-8112 with any questions or (801-299-7733 after hours)

Who are we?
Hi there, I'm Emma Creator of Cherub Chews. I design make and package all of your necklaces, bracelets and other accessories and toys. When I'm not doing this I'm chasing around after my two little munchkins, who are my inspiration for Cherub Chews as a business and its products.
Cherub Chews was created in 2013 when i found my son grabbing at my skin and hair while I was feeding and babywearing. I searched for a necklace to help aid in distracting him to save my poor skin and hair. All I could find on the market were silicone and plastic necklaces, which weren't me. So I set about creating my own. After spending months sourcing materials and designing my first necklaces, safety testing went underway and I was ready to launch.
Cherub Chews will continue to grow as we source and try out new products, thank you to all that have been with us from the beginning and continue to support us.

Root canal ( Endodontic ) Therapy
Root Canal (Endodontic) Therapy
Who performs endodontic therapy?
What is endodontic treatment?
Why would I need an endodontic procedure?
Endodontic treatment is necessary when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected. The inflammation or infection can have a variety of causes: deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or a crack or chip in the tooth. In addition, a blow to a tooth may cause pulp damage even if the tooth has no visible chips or cracks. If pulp inflammation or infection is left untreated, it can cause pain or lead to an abscess.
Signs of pulp damage include pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, discoloration of the tooth, and swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums. Sometimes, there are no symptoms.
How does the endodontic treatment save the tooth?
The endodontist removes the inflamed or infected pulp, carefully cleans and shapes the inside of the tooth, then fills and seals the space. Afterwards, you will return to your dentist, who will place a crown or other restoration on the tooth to protect and restore it to full function. After restoration, the tooth continues to function like any other tooth.
Will I feel pain during or after the procedure?
Many root canal procedures are performed to relieve the pain of toothaches caused by pulp inflammation or infection. With modern techniques and anesthetics, most patients report that they are comfortable during the procedure.
For the first few days after treatment, your tooth may feel tender, especially if there was pain or infection before the procedure. This discomfort can be relieved with over-the-counter or prescription medications: follow the doctor's instructions carefully.
Your tooth may continue to feel slightly different from your other teeth for some time after your root canal treatment is completed. However, if you have severe pain or pressure, or pain that lasts more than a few days, call Dr. Allen
The endodontic procedure sequence
Endodontic treatment can often be performed in one visit. Occasionally a second visit will be necessary. The treatment involves the following steps:
1. The endodontist examines and x-rays the tooth, then administers local anesthetic. After the tooth is numb, the endodontist places a small protective sheet called a "dental dam" over the area to isolate the tooth and keep it clean and free of saliva during the procedure.
2. The endodontist makes an opening in the crown of the tooth. Very small instruments are used to clean the pulp from the pulp chamber and root canals and to shape the space for filling.
4. After the final visit with your endodontist, you must return to your dentist to have a crown or other restoration placed on the tooth to protect and restore it to full function.
If the tooth lacks sufficient structure to hold the restoration in place, your dentist may place a post inside the tooth. Ask your dentist for more details about the specific restoration planned for your tooth.
How much will the procedure cost?
The cost varies depending on how severe the problem is and which tooth is affected. Molars are more difficult to treat and usually cost more. Most dental insurance policies provide coverage for endodontic treatment.
Generally, root canal treatment and restoration of the natural tooth are less expensive than the alternative of the having the tooth extracted. An extracted tooth must be replaced with a bridge or implant to restore chewing function and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting. These procedures tend to cost more than endodontic treatment and appropriate restoration.
Will the tooth need any special care or additional treatment?
You should not chew or bite on the treated tooth until you have it restored by your dentist. The unrestored tooth is susceptible to fracture, so you should see your dentist for restoration as soon as possible. Otherwise, you need only practice good oral hygiene, including brushing, flossing, and regular checkups and cleanings.
Most endodontically treated teeth last as long as other natural teeth. In a few cases, a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment fails to heal or pain continues. Occasionally the tooth may become painful or diseased months or even years after successful treatment. Often when this happens, another endodontic procedure can save the tooth.
What causes an endodontically treated tooth to need additional treatment?
New trauma, deep decay, or a loose, cracked or broken filling can cause new infection in your tooth. In some cases, the endodontist may discover very narrow or curved canals that could not be treated during the initial treatment.
Can all teeth be treated endodontically?
Most teeth can be treated. Occasionally, a tooth can't be saved because the root canals are not accessible, the root is severely fractured, the tooth doesn't have adequate bone support or the tooth cannot be restored. However, advances in endodontics are making it possible to save teeth that even a few years ago would have been lost. And, when endodontic treatment is not effective, endodontic surgery may be able to save the tooth.
What are the alternatives to endodontic treatment?
Though root canal procedures are intended to help save your tooth, this is not always possible. Often, the only alternative is extraction of the tooth. Missing teeth can make you self-conscious, affect your ability to bite and chew, cause other healthy teeth to shift and have a negative impact on your overall health. For these reasons, the extracted tooth should be replaced with an artificial one. Though nothing looks, feels or functions exactly like your natural tooth, dental implants are a viable alternative to help you maintain a beautiful smile.
Endodontic Retreatment
Endodontists are dentists with at least two additional years of advanced specialty education in diagnosis and root canal treatment. Because they limit their practices to endodontics, they treat these types of problems every day. Endodontists are experts in performing nonsurgical and surgical retreatment. They use their special training and experience in treating difficult cases, such as teeth with narrow or blocked canals or unusual anatomy. Endodontists may use advanced technology, such as microscopes, ultrasonics and digital imaging, to perform these special services.
Why do I need another endodontic procedure?
-Narrow or curved canals were not treated during the initial procedure.
-Complicated canal anatomy went undetected in the first procedure.
-The placement of the crown or other restoration was delayed following the endodontic treatment.
-The restoration did not prevent salivary contamination to the inside of the tooth.
In other cases, a new problem can jeopardize a tooth that was successfully treated. For example:
-New decay can expose the root canal filling material to bacteria, causing a new infection in the tooth.
-A loose, cracked or broken crown or filling can expose the tooth to new infection.
-A tooth sustains a fracture.
What will happen during retreatment?
First, the endodontist will discuss your treatment options. If you and your endodontist choose retreatment, the endodontist will reopen your tooth to gain access to the root canal filling material. In many cases, complex restorative materials –crown, post and core material-must be disassembled and removed to permit access to the root canals.
After cleaning the canals, the endodontist will fill and seal the canals and place a temporary filling in the tooth. If the canals are unusually narrow or blocked, your endodontist may recommend endodontic surgery. This surgery involves making an incision to allow the tip of the root to be sealed.
After your endodontist completes retreatment, you will need to return to your dentist as soon as possible to have a new crown or other restoration placed on the tooth to protect and restore it to full function.
Is retreatment the best choice for me?
Generally it is best to save your natural tooth. Retreated teeth can function well for years, even a lifetime.
Advances in technology are constantly changing the way root canal treatment is performed, so your endodontist may use new techniques that were not available when you had your first procedure. Your endodontist may be able to resolve your problem with retreatment.
As with any dental or medical procedure, there are no guarantees. Your endodontist will discuss options and the chances of success before beginning retreatment.
How much will the procedure cost?
The cost varies depending on how complicated the procedure will be. The procedure will probably be more complex than your first root canal treatment, because your restoration and filling material may need to be removed to accomplish the new procedure. In addition, your endodontist may need to spend extra time searching for unusual canal anatomy. Therefore, you can generally expect retreatment to cost more than the initial endodontic treatment.
While dental insurance may cover part or all of the cost for retreatment, some policies limit coverage to a single procedure on a tooth in a given period of time. Check with your employer or insurance company prior to retreatment to be sure of your coverage.
What are the alternatives to retreatment?
If nonsurgical retreatment is not an option, then endodontic surgery should be considered. This surgery involves making an incision to allow access to the tip of the root. Endodontic surgery may also be recommended in conjunction with retreatment or as an alternative. Your endodontist will discuss your options and recommend appropriate treatment.
The only other alternative is extraction of the tooth. The extracted tooth must be replaced with a bridge, removable partial denture or implant to restore chewing function and to prevent adjacent teeth from shifting. Because these options require extensive surgery or dental procedures on adjacent healthy teeth, they can be far more costly and time consuming than retreatment and restoration of the natural tooth.
No matter how effective tooth replacements are, nothing is as good as your natural tooth. You've already made an investment in saving your natural tooth. The payoff for choosing retreatment could be a healthy, functioning natural tooth for many years to come.
Endodontic Surgery
What is endodontic surgery?
The most common endodontic surgical procedure is called an apicoectomy or root-end resection. When inflammation or infections persists in the bony area around the end of your tooth after endodontic treatment, your endodontist may perform an apicoectomy. In this procedure, the endodontist opens the gum tissue near the tooth to expose the underlying bone, and the infected tissue is removed. The very end of the root is also removed, and a small filling may be placed to seal the root canal. Local anesthetics make the procedure comfortable, and most patients return to their normal activities the next day.

|This should not be one of my most frequently run programs.
Saturday, January 14, 2012
1 comment:
That's actually one of the reasons why i've tried to move away from unity actually. There are some very serious bugs that the only solution for is "start your whole project over". One of them that comes to mind is the runtime compiler constantly failing to grab important dlls related to unity.ReplyDelete
Had that happen in a project as simple as a 2D braekout clone that i spent <1 hour on. It would no longer load up, and the only way to fix it that anyone suggested is to start over and try not to do whatever I did.
I understand that programs have bugs, and unity is generally pretty good at fixing them, but until the editor doesn't crash every half an hour for me I won't be using it any longer.

You can't miss this brightly painted restaurant in downtown Bradley Beach with surfer "tude" and its own "cuisine" called tropicali, a clever composite word combining Southern California, Latino, island and Pacific Rim---all elements to be found in a "mondo" menu of wraps, burritos, tacos, salads, "Finchiladas," smoothies and more. The feel is young and laid back; the food fresh but not...
The staff was very pleasant. The " surfer" atmosphere upbeat and trendy, however I feel food was overpriced. The burritos are large and stuffed with mostly beans. They were served with nacho style chips and salsa. Tasty, but just think the price is too high for what you get.
Really great Mexicali restaurant, everything is delicious, service is friendly, and kids of all ages love eating there.

Visions of you, dear, dance in the night.
I've been put down, pushed around, apprehended and led downtown.
Can't help it if I'm full of fire.
But the one thing I know: that when I, I turn out the light,
Visions of you, dear, dance in the night.
I've been put down, pushed around, apprehended and led downtown.
An' I can't help it if I'm out of sight,
'Cause I'm restless tonight.
- "Restless Tonight", by Alison Krauss; lyrics by Robert Lee Castelman
I have "restless leg syndrome". It can, admittedly, sound like a joke, but it's not - it's an actual neurological disorder. Some literature says it is characterized by "unpleasant" feelings in the legs. Uh-huh. "Unpleasant" might be too pleasant a word for it.
For me, first of all, it isn't always a sensation just in my legs. It affects my arms as well (not that unusual). It is uncontrollable muscle movements, usually in the early evening or at night, or any time I might be still for a longer period of time (like a car ride). It can feel like a creepy urge to move, as if something is crawling under one's skin. The only way to deal with it is to get up and move around.
Last fall, I went through a rather extreme period of insomnia, mostly due to the restless legs (although I wasn't completely sure of what it was at that point). It got pretty ugly - a continuing cycle of trying to sleep, waking up, almost falling asleep again, having my legs jerk me awake....over and over, night after night.
I would wake up in the morning and my legs would ache. It felt like I had run a marathon in my sleep. I would drag through the day, and then go through the whole damn thing again.
Finally, after doing some internet sleuthing, I went to see a sleep specialist. I knew my dad had suffered from this, although it wasn't diagnosed until late in his life. My mom used to complain about what a restless sleeper he was, but that was about it. (RLS is inheritable.) The sleep specialist also checked my iron levels, which were REALLY low. For some reason, not yet known, the low iron levels and restless legs go together quite frequently, although it's a chicken-and-the-egg sort of puzzle.
Now, I'm on iron supplements, plus two meds. to help with the restless legs and with sleep. It still bothers me, but not nearly to the degree that it did last fall.
I think all physical ailments have some sort of spiritual dimension. I'm not talking about making yourself sick with worry, and "you deserve to get AIDS 'cause you're a sinner" sort of thing, but that we can't separate our physical from our spiritual and emotional. The whole idea of being restless at a time when I'm supposed to be resting is intriguing: why won't I allow myself to sleep? What's going on inside that makes restorative sleep such a battle? "I'm tired, but I've got stuff to do and I'm not going down without a fight!", I imagine my brain saying to my body. "You can't rest; who will take care of....everything????", my soul screams.
I've always been one who has a hard time "shutting my brain" off at bedtime, and now it seems that has flowed over into my body as well. It's a constant struggle to relax - I have to consciously think about doing something that most people do quite naturally.
I also wonder if it's my mind and body's way of dealing with the complacency we all tend to feel sometimes in our lives, that "Is this all there is?" sort of thing. You know, that wanderlust that says, "Let's just sell everything and go!" Apparently, my body is ready and willing to go...and go...and go...
Finally, of course, St. Augustine comes to mind: "Our hearts are restless, Lord, until they rest in Thee." I'm always gonna be a little restless, because this isn't Heaven. It is a vale of tears, and restless legs, and headaches, and too much work, and buttons that fall off, and cars that need repairs, and....well, you know. I'll be restless again tonight, I'm sure, and for many more nights, until I reach a final, peaceful and most blessed rest.

How can you tell if you are in a crisis? Here are three questions to ask:
- Has someone been hurt? Is your loved one or someone in danger of being hurt?
- Has property been damaged? Does it seem likely that it could be?
- Does the behavior you are seeing indicate that a serious relapse is taking place?
Step One: Get help. Call the treatment team or Netcare immediately. If you need to call the police, ask for officers who have had Crisis Intervention Team training. These officers are especially educated to deal more effectively with people whose mental illnesses are symptomatic.
While you are moving to get help, you need to watch your own behavior. You are trying to help your loved one regain control, so you need to be in control of yourself. Be calm. Speak slowly and firmly. Don't criticize or yell.
You'll also need to start thinking about safety. The warning signs of imminent physical violence include tremor, rigid posture, clenched jaws and fists, verbal abuse, profanity and hyperactivity.
Obviously, remove any weapons from your home, and alert others who live there. Tell your loved one if his or her behavior is scaring you.
Allow your loved one to have physical space. Don't block the doorway or stand over them. Don't make them feel cornered. Make sure you have an easy exit from any room and get out immediately if violence starts.
Many people who have a serious mental illness have at least one serious relapse. We all pray that the relapse doesn't end with serious consequences. The best thing that could happen is that it influences the loved one to take treatment seriously and do the things necessary to stay well.

Fair - non residents walking around in the complex - people at the pool all hours at night - only 2 of the 3 entrances are accessible - gym hours are non reasonable, we work all day when the gym is open. get a key for the gates and gym and make it more secure.

Great location and value, however I've had to ask several times for no pest control and it still happens. I have an animal and I don't want people in the apt if I'm not home. It's what's best for the safety of the staff and my animal.
Karesse is amazing. She's warm, respectful, professional and responds quickly to needs.

Did you know that Iceland was featured in the 24th season finale of The Simpsons ? The episode was titled "The Saga of Carl Carlson". It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on May 19, 2013
In the episode Moe, Homer, Carl and Lenny win $200,000.00 in the Springfield Lottery, which they agree to share four ways. But Carl takes off to Iceland – his homeland – with all the winnings, the guys embark on a Nordic adventure to rescue the cash.
Carl's Icelandic heritage was first alluded to in the Season 14 episode "'Scuse Me While I Miss the Sky". Homer, Lenny, and Moe fly out to Reykjavík to track him down and claim their rightful share of the money. They arrive and meet a man who tells them about the Carlsons' shameful family history, detailed in an Icelandic saga. The ancient text depicts them as cowards who allowed barbarian invaders into the country to cause massive death and destruction over a thousand years ago. When they track down Carl at the Carlson family home, they learn that the reason he traveled to Iceland was to clear his family name by buying a lost page from the sagas that he believes will reveal that the Carlsons were actually brave warriors. Hot topic.
One of Iceland's most successful bands, Sigur Rós appears in the show, and have also written the music for this episode. We were expecting more participation from the band, but the music was perhaps enough. Another person from Iceland who appears in the show is Iceland's former Prime Minister, Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir. Another small appearance is Björk, who is wearing her famous Swan outfit she wore to the 73rd Academy Awards in 2001, designed by Marjan Pejoski.
During the episode, some local tourist attractions were obvious, such as the Blue Lagoon, Hallgrimskirkja Church, Skólavörðuholt, Perlan and various places in downtown Reykjavik. In addition, you could see the Northern lights as well as elves and trolls dancing around the rental car of Homer, Moe and Lenny.
For whatever reason it was, we found that the funniest moment during the show was when Homer ate the rotten shark and spit it out, without nobody noticing, and then having some more. It was also memorable to hear the characters in the Simpsons try to speak some Icelandic, which was very impressive 🙂

And you, have you watched this episode?

A delegation led by Paul Côté, President of the Bromont Bid Committee, was at FEI Headquarters today to make an in-depth presentation to the FEI Evaluation Commission as part of the final stages of the bidding process for the hosting rights to the FEI World Equestrian Games™ in 2018.
The seven-strong team which presented the official Bromont and Montreal bid book to the Evaluation Commission also included the Mayor of Bromont Pauline Quinlan, President of Equine Canada Mike Gallagher, President of Bromont International Roger DesLauriers, technical advisor Leopoldo Palacios, and President of the Bromont Olympic Park Marcel Bundock. The presentations were led by the Bromont Bid Director Benoit Girardin.
The presentation included details on the delivery of the sport, including horse welfare and anti-doping, the competition venue in Bromont, the financial plan and revenue generation strategy for the 2018 Games, the public and private partners, the local organising committee, risk management and security, and the legacies to Canadian equestrian sport if the Games are awarded to Bromont.
The Bromont bid committee plans to use the Montreal 1976 Olympic Stadium for the opening ceremony, and the Bromont Equestrian Park, which staged the equestrian events in the 1976 Olympic Games, is the proposed venue for all seven disciplines at the FEI World Equestrian Games™ in 2018.
"We've had an extremely constructive and positive meeting with the FEI today and it's provided a good opportunity for us to present and explain our bid to the FEI team", Bid Committee President Paul Côté said. "The Committee now better understands the expectations and requirements for the FEI World Equestrian Games and we feel confident that we can organise and manage the Games in 2018. We are looking forward to presenting to the FEI Bureau in July and hearing the final decision. Getting the 2018 Games could change the sport forever in our country."
The FEI Evaluation Commission will now produce a full report for the FEI Bureau. Once that has been reviewed by the Bureau, the Bromont bid team will return to Lausanne for the in-person Bureau meeting at FEI Headquarters. Originally scheduled for 10-11 June, the meeting has been moved to 1-2 July. Appropriately, the Bromont team will present to the Bureau on Canada Day, 1 July, prior to a Bureau vote to decide on the allocation of the FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2018.

Who doesn't like a bargain? You go somewhere expecting one thing, and you return home with more than you thought you were going to get.
Of course, this mostly applies to shopping. When it comes to modern medicine, patients want to know exactly what is going to happen before a surgeon cuts them open.
Unfortunately that isn't always possible. Doctors are subject to a number of variables that can force them to improvise on the fly.
Dr. A. Gopala Krishna Gokhale, a surgeon at Apollo Hospital in India, was presented with an unexpected problem while preparing to perform a heart transplant.
The heart Dr. A. Gopala Krishna Gokhale intended to use for transplant into a 56-year-old man was too small.
Posted by Dr Alla Gopala Krishna Gokhale on Tuesday, April 25, 2017
"The donor heart was of normal fist-size. The recipient's heart was the size of a small football," the surgeon said to The Hindu.
Time was running out. The man who was supposed to receive the transplant was beginning to experience other health related complications as a result of his heart failure.
Gokhale was familiar with a procedure that would be capable of utilizing the available heart and saving the man's life. But it was risky and rarely performed.
It's colloquially known as a "piggyback transplant," and it sounds like something straight out of a science-fiction movie.
A heterotopic transplant, or "piggyback transplant," is when the donor heart is transplanted alongside the native heart.

Posted by Harmonic of Biology on Sunday, August 12, 2012
There have only been about 150 heterotopic transplants ever performed. But with no time to spare, Dr. Gokhale had no other option.
A donor heart must be restarted within four hours of stopping. Considering factors like transport, prep, and surgery, that doesn't leave much time for pondering.
The clock started at 6:50 am that morning, when the donor was officially pronounced deceased. It took two hours to reach Apollo Hospital, arriving at 8:50 am, where the transplant would take place.
Doctors at the hospital were waiting, ready to begin surgery right away.
In total, the surgery lasted a total of seven hours. It was a success, and the patient is expected to recover.
Posted by Dr Alla Gopala Krishna Gokhale on Tuesday, June 14, 2016
Dr. Gokhale was able to fit the second heart between the right lung and the original heart. Each heart serves a different purpose, and they beat at different tempos.
As a result, the patient will now have two different pulses and a complex ECG pattern.
"Two hearts in the patient complement each other to facilitate circulation, but beat at different rates," Gokhale said.
"It is once-in-a-lifetime procedure a doctor performs."
