Mouth breathing can be quite a nuisance. People that suffer from this condition tend to breath through their mouth more than their nose due to habit, or, as is more often the case, because of some cause that makes breathing through the nose difficult or nearly impossible.
Many who suffer from this condition often don't think it's a very big deal. However, mouth breathing can have many negative effects on your oral health. We'll touch on those, but first let's take a look at the causes and symptoms of mouth breathing.
Abnormally Large Tonsils: large or swollen tonsils can cause nasal obstruction.
Allergies: Food or environmental surrounding that cause allergies can enlarge air-filtering organs, causing airflow obstruction.
Nasal Obstruction: Anything that blocks air passage in or out of the nose.
Sinusitis: Sinuses become inflamed, making it difficult to breath through the nose.
Sleep Apnea: A sleep disorder that causes a person's breathing to stop and start repeatedly during rest.
If a person breathes through their mouth regularly, there is a high likelihood that they will exhibit some of the following symptoms: airway infections; bad breath; crowded teeth; dry lips; fatigue; headaches; itchy and dry throat; snoring.
Mouth breathing can have a much bigger effect on a person than they might think. Without any treatment, health issues can develop and cause harm.
Dry Mouth: Besides being uncomfortable, dry mouth can lead to a handful of health problems. It can dry out the throat and gums, making them irritated or inflamed. Dry gums can lead to gum disease, which is linked to other serious health issues such as heart attacks and heart disease.
Hypoxemia: Continuous mouth breathing can affect the oxygen that enters the bloodstream. Hypoxemia is a condition in which there is an abnormally low concentration of oxygen in the blood. This can lead to high blood pressure, fatigue and headaches.
Low pH Levels: A dry mouth can lead to lower pH levels, which means a more acidic pH level in your body. Acidic pH can activate harmful bacteria that causes corrosion of your teeth.
Poor Sleep: Mouth breathing is most often related to sleep apnea. This can affect the quality of rest because you're not getting enough oxygen.
The type of treatment for mouth breathing varies depending on the specific condition since there are so many causes. If mouth breathing isn't a serious condition in your case, simple steps to fix the problem can be taken and may include: regular exercise; removing allergens from your home; using a humidifier; standing and sitting with correct posture; using saline nasal spray.
If your case is more serious, we encourage your to schedule a visit for your free consultation. Our team will be able to better assess the root cause of your issue and will inform you about best solutions for your particular case.
While cigarette smoking has declined in recent years, according to the CDC, the effects can be felt long after quitting. Good news though! We're here to help you put the sparkle back in your smile.
Tooth Discoloration
Tooth discoloration is a condition that can be caused by smoking. The types, causes and diagnosis depend on the individual though. The three main types of discoloration are:
Extrinsic: This type of tooth discoloration takes place when the enamel – the outermost layer of your tooth – is stained. Causes include:
- Smoking or Chewing Tobacco/Nicotine Products (Nicotine has been known to damage your teeth – causing cavities and leaving yellow or brown stains.)
- Food or Drink (wine, coffee, tea, cola, etc.)
- Inadequate Brushing
Intrinsic: Intrinsic discoloration occurs when the inner structure of the tooth becomes stained or darkened. Causes include:
- Excess Exposure to Fluoride (In early childhood, too much fluoride can damage teeth.)
- Traumas in Permanent Teeth (Traumas can produce internal bleeding.)
- Dentinogenesis Imperfecta (This is a rare condition that few people are born with, causing gray or purple discolorations in the teeth.)
Age-Related: The majority of age-related discoloration is a combination of both extrinsic and intrinsic elements. As people age, the enamel on their teeth naturally thins, and the dentin (bone underneath the enamel) can become yellow –increasing the likelihood of the appearance of stained teeth.
How to Fix Stained Teeth
It's no secret that in today's world having healthy, clean and white teeth is a valuable trait, and there are numerous ways to achieve just that.
Quit Smoking: The biggest and most helpful step toward improving your smile will start with quitting bad habits. If you continue to smoke and double down on the teeth whitening, you'll be in a constant battle for whiter teeth that won't provide the desired results and will end up costing you a small fortune.
Generate Good Dental Habits: For a healthy smile, keep up the habits of:
- Brushing Twice Daily (Use an electric toothbrush for more efficient cleaning)
- Floss Once Daily
- Rinse with Mouthwash Twice Daily
Whitening: Whether you use a DIY kit at home or ask a professional for help, teeth whitening is one of the most common cosmetic procedures. Different techniques to try include:
Homemade Paste: Mix together one part baking soda and 2 parts hydrogen peroxide. Once mixed into a paste, use it to brush your teeth for 3-5 minutes. Do this once daily for 5 days. (Be cautious and do this only occasionally, not routinely. The paste could start to wear at the enamel.)
Whitening Gel: If you buy a whitening gel package, it will come with some trays for your teeth and a syringe full of gel. Once you've brushed your teeth, place 8-10 drops of gel into the trays. When you are not using the gel, keep the syringe refrigerated. Bite gently on the tray and fit it to your teeth (remember to wipe away any excess gel). Wear the trays for 30 minutes and hand-wash after each whitening session.
Whitening Strips: Peel off each strip and apply to teeth (top and bottom) – remember to fold over any extra hanging off. Leave the strips on for the correct amount of time designated on the product packaging.
Dental Help: If you are weary about whitening your teeth by yourself, you can always ask the dentists. Having a routine cleaning will help maintain a bright smile, but for further effectiveness you can ask to have your teeth bleached.
A common misconception about visiting the dentist is that you don't need to unless your teeth or gums are irritated and bothering you.
However, there are many oral conditions that don't show symptoms in their early stages.
In order to detect these conditions in time and perform the necessary treatment, it is vital that you see your dentist every six months. This is true even if your teeth aren't hurting and nothing seems to be out of the ordinary.
Here are a couple very important reasons to schedule and keep regular checkups with your dentist.
- If you haven't gone in for a checkup and cleaning in some time you could have tooth decay and not realize it. As a tooth first begins to decay, you may not experience the pain or sensitivity typically associated with a cavity. Even if you don't experience discomfort or pain that doesn't mean the issue isn't compounding. Any decay should be treated immediately to avoid the need for a root canal or losing the tooth; by catching it early, treatment is much easier and causes significantly less hassle for the patient.
- A large number of people have gingivitis unknowingly, which is the earliest stage of gum disease. The condition is very treatable. However, if the condition advances to become periodontitis it can only be managed, not cured. Gum disease effects the health of your entire body, so it is a very wise decision to schedule regular visits in order to detect and treat the condition as early as possible.
Just like anything else that you may put off or ignore in hopes that is "just goes away", tooth and oral conditions can and will compound and become a much larger problem the longer you wait.
Make it a priority to schedule your dental checkup every six months to prevent serious conditions and enjoy consistently GREAT dental health!
We see and hear from a lot of patients and parents who ask us, "When is the right time to start orthodontic treatment for my kids?"
Often, there is a perception that ortho treatment only applies to older children and teens that have spacing and/or alignment issues. However, this isn't the case. There can be substantial benefits to early treatment.
When parents choose to consider ortho treatment for their children that are younger, Dr. Vierthaler and the entire Compass Dental team are better able to identify potential alignment issues early on. This can make the treatment process substantially more efficient as Dr. V is able to provide treatment as the teeth begin to fully develop, as opposed to treating teeth that are fully formed and more rigid in their position.
The Benefits of Straighter Teeth
Cosmetic appearances aside, there are multiple advantages to starting ortho treatment at a young age. Here are just a few benefits:
- Potential reduction of the extent of orthodontic treatment needed later in life.
- Early treatment allows Dr. V to help guide the teeth into their correct positions to prevent the removal of teeth and improve an overbite, underbite, or crossbite.
- Straighter teeth are easier to clean and better for preventing tooth decay.
Stages of Orthodontic Treatment
There are three main stages of early orthodontic treatment:
Stage One: Early treatment starts around age two or three, and continues until the child is around six years old. This stage is focused on preventive measures, such as avoiding bad habits that lead to crooked teeth. This stage will also include creating a plan for the future, which will be dependant on how the teeth are growing in.
Stage Two: When the child is between 6-12 years old, the first permanent teeth erupt. During this stage we look at possible early treatment for misalignment or bite issues.
Stage Three: This stage occurs during adolescence to correct any further problems with permanent teeth. Dr. V and our team are finally able to see how the teeth first erupt and will know right away whether or not your child will need to have braces later on.
Being back in The Ville has been refreshing. I spent the vast majority of my educational career always looking forward to the "the next step." Now, don't get me wrong, dental school was an extremely productive and eye-opening experience. Hands on learning in the lab, mission trips to help children with dental needs in Africa, attending conferences to learn and see what new technologies might be able to provide specific benefits for future patients….all of it was a tremendous experience.
However, I couldn't wait to finally start practicing. Now that I've joined the Compass Dental team, that anxious feeling has gone by the wayside. Everyday brings new smiles and new challenges. It's exciting.
What I've enjoyed most about being back, practicing in the same town I grew up in, is the team I get to work with. Not only do we have some of the best team members a dental practice could ask for, we also have some of the world's foremost dental technology on hand to provide our patients with elite level service.
Few individuals are lucky enough to step into such a high-level practice right out of dental school. The opportunity to perform procedures and care for patients knowing I have everything I could possibly need to perform at the highest level is…well it's pretty cool.
Now that I'm in the groove of things I've realized a couple things in particular.
First, the way Compass educates and communicates with patients couldn't be better. This is one area they seem to brush over in dental school, but is SO important. I've learned in short-time that communication is essential and without it patients are not going to feel cared for, regardless of the outcome of their visit.
Second, having a team that is dedicated to having an "all eyes on every patient" approach is paramount. So many times during clinicals or other training exercises in dental school you felt like you were on an island. Now, this is probably a good thing in order to build your own self-sufficient dental skills. However, knowing that you have a number of people…a team…looking at every detail of every patient's needs is a comforting feeling. Because you know that no detail will go overlooked and not a single patient need with be passed over.
As I continue to grow with the Compass team I can't help but feel excited. Excited about the opportunity to practice with a truly elite dental and orthodontic services team. One that has built a foundation and their mission around the patient. And that is something I can definitely hang my hat on.

A Valentine for Christmas
(A Novella from the Love Under the Mistletoe Collection)
All work and no play, bah humbugging CEO, Gerard Jasper's, anonymous Christmas gift is actually a Valentine — Moira 'R.M.' Valentine, the mysterious CEO of the Valentine Corporation.
Moira's walk on the wild side has accidentally landed her naked and bound with red ribbon under Gerard's tree – not good when their companies are negotiating the deal of a lifetime. When two lonely people with enough baggage to fill a 747 come together for Christmas, the fireworks rivals New Years at Times Square, but can they overcome their pasts to give each other the true gift — a merger of hearts?
A Valentine for Christmas Excerpt © K D Grace
'What the …' Words died in Gerard's mouth as he lowered his arm and dropped the poker against the chair. He blinked twice then rubbed his eyes. Surely he still had to be dreaming. Though this dream beat the hell out of the usual drowning dream. There was another moan and, as his eyes adjusted to the light, he realized it came from the woman lying on her side under the tree. She was completely naked except for the red velvet ribbons that seductively bound her wrists and her ankles. The only other thing she wore was a sprig of mistletoe pinned in the muss of thick dark hair that fell over her shoulders partially obscuring breasts that were obviously full enough to balance the rest of a figure that curved dangerously in all the right places. Even in that confused post-wake-up state, Gerard's cock got the picture just fine, thank you! But what the hell was a naked woman doing tied up beneath his Christmas tree?
Before he could ask, the woman moaned again – louder this time – and doubled over as though she were in pain.
'What is it? What's wrong?' He asked, dropping to his knees, forgetting the fact that this chick had invaded his privacy.
'Oh, God!' She gasped. 'It's my leg. I have a cramp. In my left hip and it's making my butt numb.' She bit back a curse that he was pretty sure would have curled his hair if she'd let it fly. But he figured perhaps she was on her best behavior – red ribbons, mistletoe and all.
It was then that both he and his cock remembered, at exactly the same time, that she was tied up. He was in complete control. He settled on his haunches and folded his arms across his chest. 'What the hell are you doing here?' He asked.
She moaned again and tried to shift to a more comfortable position, which made her breasts bounce and her hair slide away to reveal nipples darkened and stiff atop goose-fleshed areolae. 'I'm your Christmas present.'
He blinked. 'My what?'
'Christmas present? You know, happy holidays, noel, peace on earth … ouch! Oh hell that hurts.' She hissed between barely parted lips and writhed in a way that should have made him sympathetic, but only made him hornier. 'Could you please untie me so I can take care of this cramp.'
A Woodland Walk
Happy Blissemas everyone! I so look forward to celebrating this time of year with Kev and Victoria and all of the rest of the Blissemas family. It truly is a pleasure to be a part of such a festive tradition.
Most of you know that I tore a meniscus in one knee last Christmas and ended up having surgery on both knees in February. Well, my knees are healing nicely since last holiday season, and I'm once again doing long walks. This time of year woodland walks are among my favourite. Even though we seldom get snow in Guildford for Christmas, I do recall a couple of lovely walks through the winter woodlands, and each time I walk in the woods with the snow muting my footsteps and blanketing everything in deep, downy silence, I can't help thinking of this lovely poem by Robert Frost.
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
I suppose it's one of my favourites because I have such fond memories of Christmases blanketed in deep snow, of walks in the woods to choose a Christmas tree, of being filled with little girl excitement as I helped my parents pick just the perfect tree for our living room, as I anticipated the season.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but there are always promise to keep and always miles to go before we sleep, but it's the stopping that changes everything. It's the taking that bit of time to watch the woods fill up with snow, or just to watch the shapes of the bare branches against an iron-grey sky and enjoy the silence.
This time of year when everything pulls in tightly on itself like a sleeping child, when everything stops just for a second, on the darkest nights of the year, we feel the sleeping earth about to begin the long journey back from the dream world and, for that moment, everything waits in hushed expectation. It's never much more than a moment because mostly we don't slow down enough to feel it for much more than that, but it matters. It changes things. It changes us. I feel it more in the woodlands where the trees are bare but not dead, where the animals sleep and hide away, where just beneath the leaf litter or the snow, if it's there, life is just waiting to burst forth all new again.
A walk in the Chantry Woods is a gift my husband and I try to give ourselves at least once during those dark days if winter, just before that earth shifts and days begin to grow ever so slightly longer once more. There's something about the feel of our feet on the earth while our eyes look up through the bare branches, it just feels grounding somehow and it feels festive, it feels like a completion of a journey, the fulfillment of the year's tasks in anticipation of the new year and its new beginnings. The woods are always lovely, dark and deep, and no matter how many promises I have to keep or how many miles I have to go before I sleep, I'm always better for the stopping by.
However you celebrate the season, however you welcome the new beginning, I wish you love, joy, and happiness, and I wish you the peace of a lovely woods in winter.
Happy Blissemas!

Hmm. The homeowner could say that it was scrap wood with the nails already in it that he used as a base for the sign.
He could always just use the Hillary defense also. He does'nt recall putting nails in the board and had no "intent" to create a booby trap.

I often found it odd how that works. You can blow a hole through someone that breaks into your home legally but to injure them with a booby trap is illegal. Oh well I find that a pair of dobermans is more effective than any booby trap.

Well I bet I can find the same number of conservatives vandalizing mosques as you can find liberals running over signs. Does that mean it's ok to claim all Conservatives have a habit of vandalizing mosques??? Because I can find some articles of them doing it here and there and call it Large Scale Conservative Activities.
Seriously. What makes "the scale" of liberals running over yard signs so extreme in your opinion??? What's the cut off line exactly??? How many to make it applicable to the entire classification of Liberals does it take??? 20 signs??? 50??? 100??? How have you reached this scientific assessment exactly??? Can I see your data on Liberal Sign Destruction??? Do you have the data on comparing it with other types of Sign Destruction??? Can I see your data on verifying all these cases to be actual liberals doing it???

Now as far as burning down mosques......I think out of all the "hate crimes" I have seen in the last few years, like almost zero turned out to be true, and most all of them where actually mini false flags perpetrated by the very people crying racism.

This homeowner could be sued for entrapment.
There's no way that you wouldn't run over that nice neat row of Trump signs, and the homeowner clearly knew this and constructed a trap that could have ended up putting an eye out if some dumb kid were to crash their bike and land face first on a trump.

Today Robert Marc announced the release of a new Aviator Sunglass Capsule Collection inspired by celebrity hairstylist Sally Hershberger (famously known for creating Meg Ryan's signature haircut, the "Sally Shag"). The Robert Marc Sally Hershberger Aviator is a chic modern nuance on the timeless American aviator style.
"I met Sally Hershberger at lunch in the Hamptons and was immediately attracted to her chic, edgy but casual style. She has a charming, self-deprecating sense of humor, and can convince anyone to do as she wishes. We became fast friends", says Robert Marc. "Sally has a classic, natural beauty and yet she is always ahead of her time, a true trendsetter! Sally is about making you look the best you can – sexy and cool, yet relaxed and comfortable!"
At lunch Sally was wearing a pair of vintage aviator sunglasses, a little worn out and held together by determination. She confessed that while she loved the frames, they weren't perfect, and it had been difficult to find aviator sunglasses she really liked. Thus, Robert set out to create the ideal aviator just for her, perfect in proportion and color, and paired with mirrored lenses for the quintessential Sally look.
The Sally Hershberger Aviator is handmade in Japan of lightweight, durable Titanium and features Sally's signature mirrored lenses in 6 colorways. Two standout editions are the style 781 in Rose Gold Titanium with genuine 18K Rose Gold mirrored lenses and Yellow Gold Titanium with genuine 24K Yellow Gold mirrored lenses, paying homage to the "Sally Hershberger 24K" haircare line. The Robert Marc Sally Hershberger Aviator is available in Robert Marc stores as well as exclusive retailers throughout the Americas, Europe, Middle East, Asia and Australia.

Powderham Castle, close to Devon's south coast, has seen over six hundred years of history from when Sir Philip Courtenay, son to the Earl of Devon, began rebuilding what was once a manor house left to him by his mother in the 1300s. The castle has remained in the same family ever since.
In the 17th century the castle suffered losses and terrible damage during the English Civil War. For three decades during the Georgian Period, Sir William Courtenay and his descendants restored the castle. Adjustments included sectioning out the Great Hall and adding lovely rococo plasterwork to the staircase walls. The old chapel was converted into a library and a new chapel was constructed elsewhere. Visitors to Powderham today can enjoy guided tours of the castle to admire these changes. The 18th century music room is worth seeing, which was designed by famous architect James Wyatt.
Image: Music Room - Manfred Heyde via https://commons.wikimedia.org
Charles Fowler was recruited later in the Victorian era by the 10th Earl, who wished Powderham to more resemble an 'ancient castle'; the courtyard and medieval style gatehouse were added as a result and the castle has not changed a huge amount since the 19th century. The guided castle tours are informative and interesting, and included in the ticket price. They usually last around an hour, be prepared for secret doors, ghost stories and a haunted landing!
The beautiful, extensive grounds are available for tours as well. Make sure to take in the scenic views across the Exe estuary from the 18th century Belvedere, or spend the afternoon wandering at your own leisure. There's the woodland garden that was planted out in the 18th century, and a walled garden with Victorian greenhouses.
For younger ones the play area, pets corner and mini fort are always a hit, and these are all located in the walled garden too. The pets corner gives younger guests (and older guests too!) the opportunity to handle animals and get up close and personal to Powderham's friendly pets. A donkey, pigs, goats and guinea pigs are just a few of the inhabitants you can meet.
Three nature trails are available for children: Green, Orange and Yellow which wind their way through different parts of the estate and act as a great way for youngsters to explore. The Exeter Woodcarvers who often provide demonstrations onsite have added amazing 'tree faces' along the Yellow Trail – so keep your eyes peeled for them! Alternatively stop by the regenerated working forge on your way from the Walled Garden to the Woodland Garden and you will get to see some award winning smithery by Andrew Hall.
Also on offer daily during the school holidays is the deer park safari. And for 2015 the safari is now available throughout all seasons on a Wednesday, provided the ground conditions are acceptable. The safari is a 35 minute tractor trailer ride into Powderham's stunning deer park, which is home to around 600 fallow deer. You can hear all about their habitat and this is a great opportunity to admire Powderham's beautiful surroundings from the banks of the Exe estuary while an interesting commentary tells you of the castle's history.
There's never a shortage of things going on; during July and August there are excellent daily displays from the stunning birds of the Devon Bird of Prey Centre including owls, hawks and falcons and audience members even have the opportunity to fly some of the birds themselves. On top of this Powderham hosts theme weeks during Devon school holidays which are aimed at 5 to 11 year olds and are a huge success.
For everything that's going on check out the Calendar of Events. There are so many different areas and attractions that it is important to check opening times of each to avoid disappointment. You can check the Powderham website to be sure.
There is a café and a gift shop on site of course, with local produce and souvenirs, so end your day with a browse and then head into the adjoining Courtenay Gallery, a small museum of family treasures. Or visit Powderham Country Store, a short distance down the road for even more choice of food and shops.
Because there is just so much to see and do, it's quite possible you won't fit it all into one day. So, to really round off the trip you are offered a free return within a week if you pop your details down for the team there! Perfect for if you're staying nearby.

I must admit that I started to truly appreciate the value of SSL certificates when it became a part of my career a couple of years ago. Before then, I didn't even know what SSLs were, and why they were so important to organizations and (often unknowingly) consumers.
In my younger naive days, I was guilty of trying to find the best online deal for that 'must have' item of the year; trusting that, just because the brand name was in the domain; that the company website must be legitimate, and the one I was searching for. This is probably what led into falling prey to a couple of bouts of identity theft. If only I knew then, what I knew now!
This forced me to think about whether I was the only person who had careless internet habits and whether there were other people 'out there' that would still quite happily hand over their credit card details to an unprotected website.
Symantec has recently carried out research, using 301 individuals, to determine the effectiveness of SSL certificates, they found the following interesting statistics:
- 80% knew to look for the padlock icon signifying SSL encryption
- 81% knew to look for the secure internet connection (HTTPS)
- 75% of respondents admitted that they would abandon an online transaction if they felt that the website was not secure
- 55% knew to look for the green address bar indicating that an Extended Validation SSL certificate is in place
- 1 in 3 of the respondents said that the lack of a trust seal would deter them from completing their transaction
These findings therefore points to the fact that users these days claim to be a little more knowledgeable in regards to SSL certificates and online security. Organizations should take this into account when they are debating whether they really need to spend that extra money on a SSL certificate - as failing to do so could have quite an impact on the business they carry out through their websites.
The most surprising piece of information from these findings is that one in three people would discontinue an online transaction if there was no trust seal displayed on the website. These trust seals tend to be bundled with certain brands of SSL certificates as a free added extra and, while they do not add to the security of a website, they certainly show that the identity of the operator behind the website has been verified by a competent, independent and trusted third party. However, many organizations do not tend to take advantage of this prominent, provable symbol of authenticity on their websites.
Now that we know that site seals not only add visible proof of authenticity, but also drive sales conversions as well, why don't we take a look at which site seal is most recognized and trusted by website shoppers? A Google Consumer Survey carried out some research into this topic in January 2013 using the 8 most popular site seals.
From 1,286 respondent answers, the site seal that provided customers with the best sense of trust was the Norton Secured seal (powered by VeriSign) which accounted for 35.6% of votes. While McAfee, the market leader in dedicated user security came in second place with 22.9% of votes. In joint third place were TRUSTe and BBB Accredited with 13% each.
This does not necessarily mean that all websites should display the Norton SSL seal. It could point to the fact that it might be beneficial for a website to display a Norton SSL seal to indicate an encrypted connection, a McAfee seal to indicate a 'hacker safe' site and either a BBB Accredited or TRUSTe seal for establishing trust in consumer relations. These results do not intend to show that the other site seals are not trustworthy; it just indicates that the more well known brands are the ones preferred by consumers.
From the above surveys and my now extensive knowledge of SSL certificates, I think it is safe to say that this indicates that consumers are more aware today of the existence of SSLs and site seals and are more likely to complete a transaction if they see a recognizable trust seal. I know that I will not be searching for those 'must have' items anymore without first checking the security of the website and the identity of those operating the site, and I am sure many other consumers out there will agree.

After a quiet week for the GU men and women's soccer teams, both will return to action in high profile tournaments this weekend. The men will be making their debut at the new Gonzaga Soccer Field, when they host the Gonzaga Nike Soccer Classic, while the women will be traveling to Colorado for the Colorado Soccer Classic. Both tournaments should provide the Zags with excellent competition, and a chance to face some high level opposition before WCC play.
- After spending the first month of the season on the road, the GU men's soccer team will finally get to play at their brand new stadium. The Bulldogs will be hosting the Gonzaga Nike Soccer Classic, which will see Oregon St., Cal State Bakersfield, and UMKC make the trip to Spokane. The team will be looking to build on their 1-1 performance at the UNLV Nike Invitational last weekend. It looked like the Zags were on their way to a tournament championship, but three unanswered goals from UC Riverside left the team stunned, as they fell 3-2 in the championship game. The loss in the finale dropped their record to 1-2-1 on the season.
The opening game of the tournament will see GU going up against UMKC. The Kangaroos have had a terrific start to the season, as they upset #2 ranked Creighton last weekend. This stunning win saw the Kangaroos received votes in the latest polls, and improved their record to 2-1-2. They are led offensively by the duo of Bryan Perez and Brian Harris, as both have scored three goals this season. This will be the 1st meeting between these two schools, and it will provide the men with a great test.
Opening kick will take place Friday afternoon at 4:00 PM, and it should be a great atmosphere for the home opener. The Zags will return to the field on Sunday at 2:00 PM, when they take on Cal State Bakersfield in the tournament finale.
- After a 4-game homestand, the women's team will be heading to Colorado, where they will compete in the Colorado Soccer Classic. The tournament should be an excellent taste for the ladies, as they will take on the Colorado Buffaloes and the Denver University Pioneers. Both teams were NCAA tournament participants last season, and the Buffaloes enter the tournament ranked #21 in the nation. The Bulldogs are coming off a disappointing loss to the University of Wyoming, and will be looking at this tournament as an excellent chance to make amends.
The first opponent for the team will be the #21 Colorado Buffaloes. The Buffs enter the game with a 5-1-1 record, and appear to be one of the elite teams in the country. They are led by Nikki Marshall, who has started this season in incredible form, and has been one of the top attackers in the country. Marshall leads her team with four goals and has recorded nine points already this season. It is imperative that the Bulldogs find someway to slow down Marshall if they are going to have a chance to win. The match will kickoff on Friday afternoon at 3:00 PM.
The ladies will take on Denver University in the finale on Sunday morning at 10:00 AM. This tournament will see the ladies take on two of the better teams in the country, and should prepare the team for the rigors of WCC play. A win in either game would be a great success, and if they play at their highest level, it is certainly possible.

The fine people at bedface sent me a set (duvet cover, fitted sheet, pillow cases) for our bed a while ago – before we moved. So I've had a long time to use these sheets and see how they wear etc. This is casual bedding that will wash well and last forever. If you're a toss the duvet over the whole mess and get on with your day sort of person, as I am, then this prize is for you.
bedface sheets are 100% cotton with a thicker, looser weave meaning that it breathes well, lasts long, and feels more textured. To me, it feels more like a good quality cotton table cloth and I appreciate the durability and structure that lends over traditional bedding that will pill and wear thin. These will last a long, long time.
I love that this is a Canadian company with a 100 night guarantee. The set available to win is just like mine – it will fit a Queen sized bed and is light grey/blue and white in colour. Enter to win below and good luck!
More Prizes!

The striking rectangular bus terminal canopy and its pillars are clad with perforated copper. Photo: Mika Hausman.
The construction of the new travel center, which has hindered traffic in the center of Lahti, has been completed to the delight of everyone affected. The Travel Center and its crowning jewel, the new long-distance bus terminal, was presented to guests and the media in mid-January.
The architecturally striking design of the terminal with its magnificent, gleaming copper cladding has received the admiration it deserves, but it is only a part of a larger whole. The purpose of the Travel Center is to bring together different forms of public transport that were previously scattered and to modernize Lahti's cityscape.
A new public transport hub
As in many other cities, the bus and train stations in Lahti were located impractically far apart for current travel needs. Plans to move the bus station closer to the train station had been under consideration since the turn of the millennium. The train station was also seen as a natural hub for various forms of public transport. In addition, the city wanted a travel center that would form a striking urban element in the heart of the city. From the very beginning, the historic milieu and urban design considerations posed challenges for the planning of the travel center.
Planning got underway in the current decade. After the confirmation of the city plan in 2012, Sito began to prepare a master plan for the area in 2013.
A lighter project alliancing model
The City of Lahti wanted the travel center to be implemented as a project alliance, but in a less standard, lighter form. "The client first chose a planner and then wanted us, as the principal planner, to be involved in assessing the capability of the contractors for a project alliance," says Pekka Mantere, Head of Department, Bridges and Structures from Sito. He acted as the principal designer of the project. The project manager for the project was Taina Kuparinen, Head of Department, Road and Street Planning.
Workshop discussions were conducted with three contractors, of which YIT Construction was chosen for the project alliance.
Versatile infrastructure planning
The Travel Center project, with a total cost of EUR 18.9 million, included the construction of a long-distance bus terminal deck and canopy, alteration work for streets and pedestrian and bicycle paths, elevator and stairway shafts, local bus stops, commuter parking, and, a novelty in Finland, a covered bicycle park for 200 bicycles. All this was implemented in the middle of traffic in the busy city center.
As a separate project, an eight-story office building, the BW Tower, was completed adjacent to the Travel Center in the fall of 2015. From the beginning of February, the first floor of the building will house travel and parcel services.
For Sito, as the principal planner, this was a very comprehensive city center infrastructure project, encompassing a wide range of special planning: traffic, bridge, structure, geotechnical, street, drainage, environmental, and lighting planning. Projectus Team Oy, now part of Rambolli Finland Oy, was responsible for HVAC design as Sito's subconsultant, while JKMM Architects were responsible for the architectural design.
Striking details
The work division between principal planner Sito and the architectural firm was clear. Sito was in charge ofthe structural planning typical of infrastructure projects, while JKMM was responsible for the actual architectural design. The planning team fit these structures together.
"It is not often we get to implement infrastructure projects with such a wealth of detail, precision and refinement, usually associated with house building. Typically, projects like this are built of ordinary concrete and steel," laughs Pekka Mantere.
An everyday traffic environment is seldom designed and implemented so elegantly, down to the glossy copper cladding.
Instructive experience
In ordinary construction projects, the parties each labor with their own tasks and may not always understand the problems of the others. According to Pekka Mantere, this first experience of a project alliance was an eye-opener in many respects.
"For instance, procurement was subject to open evaluation by all parties in the project alliance team. This made us understand each other's positions and realize that it's not always that easy for a contractor, either," he notes.
In any case, the end result is a travel center that makes public transport in Lahti run smoother and is not just functional, but also visually striking and refined down to the last detail.

It's Sunday and it's close enough to my desired bedtime that I have to make some decisions. Laundry, fold diapers, write, play Angry Birds?
I can probably only fit in two of the four. Guess you know what one of them is.
In preparation for and early celebration of this one's first birthday next Saturday, I plan to keep a pretty low profile this week. After all, I have three-hundred fifty some-odd days to reflect on, and these things take time:
In the meantime, here are a few random thoughts from another hot summer weekend.
Friday night I had the incredible honor to be able to celebrate the upcoming nuptials of one of my dearest girlfriends. It was a blast to plan and just the best time.
As my gift to her, I took photos of the evening, so I spent a lot of time capturing the gorgeous decorations, food and guests on film memory card.
I also realized there's no such thing as Photoshop in real life, so this one { points at self } needs to pick up some whitening strips pronto.
Thank goodness for post-production.
Sorry for my language, but I'm about to open up a serious can of whoop-ass on these flies. Just sayin'. I am not above buying one of those nasty hanging fly strip things. Hey you, buzzy guy, better watch your back. { creepy angry stare }
My friend and neighbor, Natalie from The Busy Budgeting Mama, stopped over for a bit with her hubs and their beautiful little girl, Sophia. Natalie is insanely preggo. Ridiculously. You should head on over and give her some love and encouragement. She's amazing. The whole time she was over, it was one contraction after another, and of course she looked like a model through it all. Say a prayer for her right now that their little baby girl would make her appearance soon soon soon!
My hubs is awesome. There are few things in the world I am more grateful for than being married to my best friend, and watching him interact with the little girl he's madly in love with.
Looky what I have!
Happy Baby Company is graciously allowing me to do another review and giveaway...this time for the ridiculously in-demand bumGenius 4.0 in butternut. Over the next couple of weeks, I'm going to use this diaper like crazy, and will report back with my findings, as compared to the much-loved, and now discontinued 3.0. So stay tuned and good luck! This one is sure to be one popular giveaway.
Speaking of giveaways, I'd like to do something non baby-related specifically for my in-real-life friends. So many of you have been so supportive as I kicked off imanimama.com, and I want to thank you. Leave me a comment with your ideas for what you'd like to see me give away, and in the next couple of weeks, I'll do a "how well do you know Jen" contest just for my IRL pals.
Weight Watchers is kicking my butt, mostly because of all the celebrating and baking and laziness over the past week. However, I'm back on the bandwagon and Tuesday morning will tell how badly I blew it. :) In the meantime, I whipped up a kickin' 5-POINT grilled pizza this evening that stopped Sean in his tracks. The recipe will be include in this week's Weigh In post. It's so easy and so fast...and it's sure to become a favorite.
What was meaner: sticking the Cheerios to her face, taking a picture, or posting it here? In our defense, those little guys would have ended up on the floor had we not secured them to the child.
That's all I've got, leaving just enough time for a game of Angry Birds. Laundry...bah!
Till we meet again, Jen

Access Marijuana RX is Florida's premier choice for patients seeking the healing benefits of legal medical marijuana. Your health and wellbeing are at the forefront of our mission to help our patients live stronger, happier and more comfortable lives. Led by Dr. Lora L. Brown, a nationally-respected pioneer in the field of interventional pain therapy, AMRX strives to provide you with the attentive, compassionate care you deserve.
We understand that you have many questions about the conditions that can be treated with medical marijuana and how the legal process works. Dr. Brown and our compassionate team of medical professionals will guide you through every step of the process.
If you live in St. Petersburg, Tampa or anywhere in Florida, contact Access Marijuana RX today online or at 727-209-5470 to schedule a private, one-on-one consultation with Dr. Brown. These initial consultations are risk-free; if Dr. Brown does not believe that medical marijuana is appropriate for your condition, you will not be charged for your visit.
How do you get started? Just follow the simple steps listed below.
Step 1: Schedule Your Appointment
The process of obtaining cannabis to treat your medical condition begins by scheduling a personal medical evaluation with Dr. Brown. This initial visit can be performed in-person at our St. Petersburg location or via our online telehealth portal.
Step 2: Get Evaluated by Our Doctor
To obtain medical marijuana in Florida, you must receive a recommendation from a state-approved physician. During your initial consultation, Dr. Brown will assess your condition and symptoms and determine whether or not medical cannabis is an appropriate treatment for your specific needs. This meeting can be conducted virtually, through the AMRX telehealth portal or in person at our lovely St. Petersburg facility.
Your disease or condition must have a prior diagnosis before Dr. Brown can recommend treatment with medical cannabis. It is helpful to bring copies of your medical records and diagnosis to your initial evaluation, but it is not necessary. Our staff can work with your health care provider to obtain any necessary and relevant documentation.
Florida law mandates that a medical marijuana patient must have an established relationship with a state-approved MMJ doctor for 90 days prior to a cannabis recommendation.
Once you have undergone your initial evaluation, the 90-day countdown begins.
Step 3: Follow Up with Dr. Brown within 90-Day Waiting Period
In addition to your initial consultation, state law requires that you have one follow-up visit with your medical marijuana physician within the initial 90-day waiting period. We will typically set the date for your follow-up visit at the conclusion of your initial evaluation, so you will leave your consultation with a date already saved on your calendar.
While either the initial visit or follow-up visit can happen face-to-face or over the Internet, at least one of those visits must be conducted in person to comply with Florida law. We understand that depending on where you live, an in-person meeting can be difficult to arrange. In these situations, contact AMRX to learn when one of our state-wide traveling clinics will be near your area.
Step 4: Legally Obtain Your Medical Marijuana
After your follow-up visit and at the conclusion of your 90-day waiting period, you will be ready to obtain your medical marijuana. On the 90th day, visit our office in person or online. We will register you into the Compassionate Care Registry and provide you with a recommendation to bring with you to a dispensary of your choice.
You will not receive any medical marijuana from AMRX, only the legal recommendation.
Step 4: Receive Your Medical Marijuana Card by Mail
Once you have been registered into the Compassionate Care Database, your medical marijuana card will be sent to you in the mail. While you must be registered in the database in order to purchase cannabis from a dispensary, you do not need to have your medical marijuana card on hand. You will simply need your state ID; your dispensary can confirm your registration status online for you.
Step 5: Maintain Ongoing Care
Medical marijuana eligibility must be renewed quarterly, according to Florida law. Online check-ins must be conducted every 90 days in order to maintain your recommendations.
The following prices apply to both in person and online visits:
- Initial Evaluation: $225
- Quarterly follow-up: $150
Schedule Your Initial Evaluation Today
To find out if you are eligible for medical marijuana, please call Access Marijuana RX today at 727-209-5470 to schedule your initial evaluation with Dr. Brown. We welcome patients from St. Petersburg, Tampa and throughout Florida.

Diagnosis Murder
According to the folks behind this series starring Dick Van Dyke as Mark Sloan, a murder-solving L.A. doc, "Last November, we got our butts kicked by the Masked Magician and the freak show specials on Fox. So we are doing what any self-respecting producer would do. We're getting our revenge." The result is "Trash TV," a delightfully campy two-hour episode filled with TV in-jokes, over-the-top TV parodies, now-over-the-hill TV faces -- and even the Masked Magician himself....

I wasn't expecting them to have the OPI Texas collection yet, it only released yesterday, and it took them a month to get the Katy Perry collection as it released.
But there it was!!
I only picked up one color, for now at least.
I had to make a quick decision, and this was the one that really stood out to me.
Which in simple terms means it is pretty sheer, and it is supposed to be a bit translucent.
OPI suggests 2 coats for the sorbet look and 3 for more opacity.
Some people have been saying that one coat of these sorbet polishes over white would do the trick, but that is not the case.
You Don't Know Jacques and Ink - with a cosmetic bag! On sale!

I've heard that this is because the Wii format is new and doesn't allocate memory properly after a new game install, and the game install goes on top of a currently installed game, which erases part of your previous game. It's getting really annoying. Is there any fix out there. I saw one that "holds" the place even though it's deleted. How does that work? It almost seems useless because you need that area to install more games, essentially mooting the issue. What can I do to fix this? Is someone working on this. It's very annoying,,,the only fix I found is to reinstall the game on to the hard drive, but them another game acts up...it's like whack-o-mole.

Sandbox – Michael Houser
It seems obligatory that when a great musician leaves the planet, he or she will have put some final statement onto tape a few months earlier which gathers poignancy after the fact. Although it's unlikely that anyone would have known to tell Duane Allman to be careful on his motorcycle after "Little Martha," or John Lennon to keep an eye out for psycho fans after "Just Like Starting Over," both songs close out these artists' stories in ways that at least provide some comfort to balance out the aggravation of not having more.
Michael Houser's Sandbox is one of the first HORDE-generation entries in this category. Unlike Allman and Lennon, he had a stretch of time to prepare for his exit, and one gets the sense that he knew it as he was writing at least half these songs, and that he was calm about it. On the first song, the repeat chorus tells us that "I'm gonna get there/No matter what," and although it wouldn't be true in the end, it's true for at least the five minutes that you're listening to this song. Similar sentiments pervade the rest of the disc: "Can't Change The Past," "No Cryin' Now."
Granted, the vocals are lazy enough to make Tom Petty sound like Robert Plant by comparison, and perhaps "Country Sex Song" turns the whimsy up a bit too high. The appeal of Sandbox, though, is that it's obviously the work of a man who doesn't care anymore about reviews or sales. Judging from this CD, Houser had few concerns other than saying goodbye to family and friends and getting some more assured, catchy songs with carefully-crafted guitar onto disc.
Producer John Keane is a strong ally, putting these songs into a relaxed but polished final form and getting some fitting contributions from Houser's Panic-mates (higher-pitched vocal cameos from John Bell, subtle groove spice from percussionist Domingo Ortiz and solid drumming from Andrew Hanmer and Todd Nance). Also, by putting "Goodbye My Love" near the beginning and "She Drives Me To Drink" at the end, he guarantees that the disc will get its points about mortality across without being too much of a downer.
Sorry you couldn't stick around, Michael, but thanks for leaving a nice final set behind.

HARRISBURG — It sure doesn't take a rocket scientist to know, "Harrisburg, we have a problem."
Well, because in this case, Harrisburg stands for the Pennsylvania Game Commission, it has many problems, but the most frustrating thing for the board of commissioners is it lacks the authority or power to solve them. Most frustrating for the board is the stubbornness of Pennsylvania legislators to grant a license increase, but far and away the most concerning is trying to find a way of meeting legal requirements to protect hunters from themselves.
Specifically, the board is focusing on hunters who hunt from treestands, but for reasons known only to them — stupid, stubborn and lazy come to mind — refuse to wear neither a simple safety belt nor a far-superior harness as a fall-restraint system. Deer numbers can — and probably will — be debated until the bucks come home, but there is evidence to prove that injuries from treestand falls continue to rise.
So concerned is the board about treestand safety it had planned to discuss a proposal to require people who install, use or occupy tree stands or other elevated hunting positions on State Game Lands to wear fall-restraint devices at its January quarterly meeting. This action was tabled, however, because the wording of the tabled proposal needs to be amended so it applies only to State Game Lands.
Wording of the tabled proposal called for mandatory use of a full-body safety harness and tether system capable of supporting the user's body weight during a fall and would be used from the time that person leaves the ground until they return to the ground. Failure to comply would result in a $100-$200 fine. Alabama is the only state with a regulation requiring the mandatory wearing of a fall-restraint system, but New York is considering some type of regulation.
After the meeting, the board said it would work with agency staff to educate the public about the dangers of hunting from a treestand without a fall-restraint system and explore how any regulation would be enforced. Hoover said the board supports the use of fall-restraint devices by all hunters who use treestands, and an amended proposal that would require fall restraints when using tree stands on State Game Lands could be brought back for consideration at a future meeting.
According to Steve Smith, PGC bureau of information and education chief, in 1999 a section on treestand safety was added to its hunter education course. This supports that education plays an important role in addressing the treestand problem because a 12-year-old in 1999 will be in their early 30s when they purchase a 2018-19 hunting license. According to a study conducted by Dr. Joseph Smith of the Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, the average age of the 1,109 victims between 1987 and 2015 was 47 years old.
Smith, who has twice fallen himself from a treestand, is a doctor in the intensive care unit at Geisinger and the chief author of the only study looking at treestand accidents in Pennsylvania. His presentation to the PGC contained information that came from medical records collected by the Pennsylvania Trauma System Foundation.
These records are all anonymous and count only falls that occurred on a legal hunting day or on the day preceding a legal hunting day, such as the Sunday before opening day of the firearms deer season. They document 1,109 treestand accidents, but Smith said if the scope of that search was expanded to include all accidents between Sept. 1 and Feb. 28 of each year, there were another 162 victims.
"So we would have basically over 1,200 people that have fallen out of treestands, but that might be a minimum" Smith said. "Those are the ones that sought treatment at an accredited medical center.
"We don't have any estimate of those who fell and didn't receive treatment, but 93 percent of those who fell were not wearing a safety harness and that resulted in lots of serious injuries."
What is perhaps most alarming about the results of the study has the PGC at a loss for words and only magnifies the problem with requiring the mandatory wearing of a fall-restraint system. According to Smith's research, 46 of the fall victims were "legally inebriated" and 40 had marijuana in their systems.
Those numbers suggest that those who were bent on keeping 4-year-old mentored youth hunters out of the deer woods should have been more concerned about keeping intoxicated and stoned hunters out of the woods. Just saying.
"More than half of fall victims needed surgery and a quarter ended up in intensive care," Smith said. "For many, that was just a start because 24 percent of these victims did end up with some long-term disability and 1 percent of fall victims died in the hospital.
"We have no clue, however, how many died at the scene. If they're not seen in any emergency room or trauma center, we have no way of knowing what this number really is, and the problem is getting worse as the rate at which accidents are occurring has increased consistently since 1987."
Yes, Harrisburg has a problem. And those hunters not helping Harrisburg find a solution are part of the problem.

I Shot Jesse JamesDVD - 2007
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
"I shot Jesse James", starred Canadian actor John Ireland portraying Robert Ford, as a member of the James gang. Frankly, the movie (1949), wasn't very good at all. John Ireland never reached stardom. Some claimed his politics in the era of the 'red scare' got him into trouble and maybe wasn't so bankable an actor. The real Robert Ford was only 20 years old when he literally murdered Jesse James (35 years-old) by shooting James in the back. Then Ford went on make money by reenacting his distardly deed on various town stages. Ford himslef was dead by the age of 30, dead at the hands of another murderer, Edward O'Kelley . The movie 'The Man Who Shot Jesse James' looks pretty far-fetched and contrived. Some of the names are correctly spelled by tere was no romance here, no buying oa wedding ring, no redeeming qualities of anyone. The real Jesse James was a criminal and deserved to be stopped. Why did it have to be someone as reprehensible as Robert Ford?
Crime & Punishment & Homoerotism. The production is cheap, but the film sticks to its guns, so to speak, until the end. Listen for the classic Sam Fuller inappropriate musical interludes.
