Prop. 1 would aid Delta habitat, fish and region
Restoring the ecological health of the Delta is critical to California's water system. It's also a prime reason why voters should approve Proposition 1, the $7.5 billion water bond on the November ballot.
More than $137 million would be earmarked for habitat restoration in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Another $295 million would be spent on levee improvements.
The bond also would fund projects statewide for clean drinking water, recycling and groundwater cleanup, all in serious need of attention as California heads into the fourth year of severe drought.
But for the Sacramento region, one of the most important pieces of the bond involves the Delta.
Almost every expert agrees that improving habitat in the Delta is crucial to preserving endangered species. That, in turn, will affect water transfers south. But questions need to be answered about how much habitat should be restored and where that work should take place.
Part of the answer can be found on the western edge of the Delta. Native plants grow from a berm and small channel along a 3,000-foot stretch of levee that protects Twitchell Island from being inundated by the San Joaquin River. The thin stretch of trees, shrub, grass and tule appear out of place next to the levee, which is fortified by large rocks.
The channel and vegetation are part of a restoration effort intended to enhance the chances that young salmon will survive their journey to the Pacific Ocean. Making this type of habitat is not cheap, or easy. It cost about $1,000 per linear foot or about $3 million for the stretch along Twitchell levee.
The setback levee is one of many different efforts to restore habitat that has been lost in the Delta. With more natural habitat, salmon and other fish should rebound. With healthy salmon runs and more Delta smelt, pumping water from the south Delta to the Central Valley and Southern California could become more reliable.
How to achieve these goals is a point of debate among farmers, people who fish, environmentalists, water contractors and government officials.
To create more habitat like the setback levee, some farmland would need to be taken out of production, a prospect that many farmers oppose. They say habitat restoration should be done on public land or land held in trust by environmental groups.
Environmental groups counter that parts of some Delta islands are not ideal farmland and could be returned to aquatic habitat.
Farmers also question whether the Delta is the right place for habitat restoration, saying improving habitat farther upstream where salmon spawn would make more sense.
Environmentalists want to experiment with different types of restoration in the Delta and upstream.
The Nature Conservancy and other groups, for example, are restoring more than 800 acres, in the Cosumnes River Preserve in southern Sacramento County. By removing portions of private levees along the Cosumnes, the project will reconnect the river to its natural floodplain with the goal of creating more habitat for fish and birds, reducing flood risk and recharging groundwater.
The project, scheduled to be completed soon, has been in the works for more than a decade, with 10 different agencies breaching the levees at a cost of more than $2.5 million.
Researchers plan to evaluate direct and indirect benefits to provide better information on restoration projects. With the declining health of the Delta, worthy restoration projects should be speeded up and the process streamlined.
Earlier this year, the debate over habitat restoration had been clouded by Gov. Jerry Brown's proposal to build 35-mile-long twin tunnels through the Delta. Opponents of the tunnels made sure to separate it by stripping more than $1 billion for the Delta from the bond.
Still, the trimmed down bond on the Nov. 4 ballot will be good for salmon and other endangered species, for water quality and ultimately for the region and state. Setting aside concerns about the Bay Delta Conservation Plan and the possibility of twin tunnels, habitat restoration is necessary now to improve the health of the Delta.

The attack on The Post exposes the complexity that exists on the modern Web and the diversity of security threats that it brings, Adams said. Often, it's not sufficient just to secure a primary site; companies must make sure all the trusted third-parties that place ads, widgets or other services on the site are secure, as well, he added.
Outbrain is entirely responsible for this attack, and they should address the issues with how they secure their own product to keep customers, and ultimately consumers, safe, Adams said.
"Once Outbrain was compromised, it would have taken the attackers just a few extra clicks to scale the attack far beyond a single customer of the company," Adams said.
Outbrain has now secured its network and verified the integrity of its code, Yaron Galai, the company's CEO, said in an Aug. 15 blog post.

Where Will SEA Strike Next?
Though The Washington Post and Outbrain have deflected the current attack, it is likely that the SEA will strike again.
"For the SEA's primary targets, which include mainstream media and any group perceived as supporting Western values, organizations should be particularly vigilant in monitoring for phishing attacks and SQL injection, as these are primary vectors for attack for the SEA," Lancaster said.
At-risk groups should enforce strong password policies, maintain unique passwords for each social media site and closely monitor corporate Websites for any out-of-process changes, Lancaster said. The use of two-factor authentication for social media sites is also a good best practice to further help reduce the risk of exploitation, he added.
"Attackers leveraging ad networks to distribute malware is not new, and care must be taken to ensure that the content pushed through from these third parties is not malicious," Lancaster said. "Today, global media organizations and individuals with access to those organizations' social media accounts should be considered high-risk targets and should operate with a high level of caution."
The success with which the SEA has been able to attack media sites to date is a leading indicator for Lancaster that the attacks will continue into the future.
"When a group is highly successful using techniques that are relatively easy to execute with little to no threat of retaliation from the victims, we do not expect the attacks to stop," Lancaster said. "In fact, the frequency and value of targets may increase."
Shutting down the SEA is not an easy task either, given the global nature of the Internet. Lancaster noted that a number of SEA domains, including syrian-es.com, syrian-es.org and syrian-es.net, have been shuttered. Fifteen of the SEA's Twitter accounts have been suspended, and a sixteenth is likely to be shut down as well.
The highly visible attacks by the SEA began during the Arab Spring with increasing geo-political tensions in Syria, Lancaster said. "These tensions have not eased, and as this is a primary motivator of the group, we do not anticipate its attacks stopping until the unrest in Syria comes to an end," he said.

Professor Richard Dawkins schools an ignorant fool's delusion of atheist morality. Could the Professor be a Dragon, or Dose he needs to be Schooled himself?
Professor Richard Dawkins is Obviously a Dragon...
The Question is Dose he Know it?
Those with "Kama" showing Morality in Action like a Lightning bolt, with the Diamond of the Mind... are well on there way to immortality...
Dose he Know when and where Religion Started?
With Enki Creating the Reeds of Enki "Heaven", the Sumerian Originating Annunaki, and Zagmuk, The Methodology of Shi to make Mulki or Necromancy Raising the Dead Corpse, putting the words in the Corpse to Constitute the Incorporated?
With the Perpetuated Continuation and Expansion of the DNA scientifically proven Annunaki Bloodline?
Did the Professor Know that this Annunaki Bloodline use to be THE ELITE NOBILITY with the RIGHT OF THE FIRST NIGHT, "TO TAKE YOUR CHILDRENS VIRGINITY" BY GOD GIVEN RELIGIOUS RITUAL RIGHT, DROIT DU SEIGNEUR?
Did the Good Professor Know it was in 1381 when the people UNITED, STOOD TOGETHER TO RISE UP AND HANG THE BLOODLINE FROM THE TOWER OF LONDON, TO TAKE EQUALITY AND DIGNITY FOR ALL FROM THE NOBILITY, this is where your Human Right to Dignity comes from...
"consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may, if ye will, cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty.
riddeth out thereof such evil weeds as choke and destroy the good corn, you may destroy first the great lords of the realm, and after, the judges and lawyers, and questmongers, and all other who have undertaken to be against the commons.
procure peace
by dispatching out of the way the great men, there shall be an equality in liberty, and no difference in degrees of nobility; but lika dignity and equal authority in all things brought in among you." -John Ball
Dose the Good professor Know the "NEW WORLD ORDER" (found in Australian government documents and on the official website) is the ANNUNAKI bloodline, proven with science?
dose the Good Professor Know the NWO RESTORATION PLAN to use the CARBON PRICE, to be used against the HUMAN BREATH EXHALED, to FORCE EVERYONE BY LAW TO BUY BIRTH CREDITS, or your CHILDREN will be ILLIGITIMATE under the UNITED NATIONS and will be SEX SLAVED OF THE ELITE WITH NO RIGHTS! ?????
This only shows the Logical Truth Presented in Vedic Philosophy that is Emanating through Iconoclasm in Atheist Philosophy 8000 Years after being Defined...
My Question is did the good Professor Read the Vedas, or the Mahabharata "The Largest Epic in the world from India" ?
Or did Logic take the Professor on a Different Path yet to the same Place Humanity was at 8000 years ago before the Immoral Deception, Manipulation, Iconoclasm, Domination and Perpetuated Ignorance by the Immoral?
Or is the Professor Giving the people the Vedas in todays Language and Logic?
"The Moral Force is Strong in this one"

Motorcycles are as fun as they are dangerous, and even if riders take all reasonable safety precautions, they can still find themselves in collisions with other vehicles. According to the Insurance Information Institute, the number of motorcycle injuries decreased from 2014 to 2015, but the number of fatalities increased.
The III reports that 88,000 motorcyclists sustained injuries and 4,976 riders died in 2015. The vast majority of these accidents involved human errors such as negligently changing lanes, driving while distracted, or speeding.
If you were injured in a motorcycle crash that a negligent driver caused, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost income, and non-economic damages. A personal injury attorney from The Finnell Firm can help you pursue the maximum payout. Call 866-464-4017 to schedule a consultation with an Atlanta accident lawyer.
Read on to learn about five of the most common causes of motorcycle crashes:
1. Changing Lanes
All passenger vehicles have blind spots, and motorcycles are so small that drivers might not see them when changing lanes. According to RideApart, cars changing lanes is one of the most common causes of motorcycle accidents.
In a perfect world, drivers would always be on the lookout for bikers, especially when changing lanes, but you cannot rely on others to ensure your safety. Instead, try to minimize the amount of time you spend riding in other vehicles' blind spots. Also, watch out for turn signals, and be cautious when drivers turn their heads because this indicates that they are about to change lanes.
2. Car Doors Opening
Motorcyclists should never ride alongside a row of parked cars. Doing so is common in metropolises like Atlanta, but if one of the car doors opens suddenly, the motorcyclist could crash into it, resulting in serious injuries and even death.
3. Poor Road Conditions
Gravel, sand, and water are all serious hazards for motorcyclists. Due to their two-wheeled structure, motorcycles are likely to lose traction on slick roads, and hitting a patch of gravel after rounding a blind corner could cause the bike to skid. If the road conditions are unsafe, it's best to avoid riding entirely.
4. Lane Splitting
Lane splitting refers to riders snaking between two lanes of slow-moving traffic. Because motorists do not anticipate motorcyclists doing this, it often results in collisions. Under Georgia law, lane splitting is illegal, so motorcyclists who sustain serious injuries doing so may not be able to file a claim.
5. Speeding
Speeding is one of the most common causes of motor vehicle crashes. When you are speeding, whether on a bike or in a car, you have less time to react to unexpected hazards. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, speeding contributed to 28 percent of all traffic fatalities in 2014.
If you sustained serious injuries in a motorcycle crash caused by a negligent driver, you may have grounds for a personal injury claim. An accident lawyer from The Finnell Firm will gather evidence, interview witnesses, handle correspondence with the insurance company, and help you fight for the maximum payout.
Call 866-464-4017 to schedule an initial consultation with an Atlanta personal injury attorney. You can learn more about motorcycle accident claims in Georgia by visiting USAttorneys.com.

Sandy • An old foe, perhaps one of the most notable villains in Real Salt Lake's young history, returns to Utah Saturday night as a head coach. In his first year leading the Colorado Rapids, the same club he captained for so many years in the Rocky Mountain Rivalry, Pablo Mastroeni will face off against more than RSL. He'll be going up against a good friend and former teammate.
The former U.S. men's national team midfielder and World Cup veteran was a teammate of Jeff Cassar's for four years when the two starred with the Miami Fusion in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
RSL's fan base will always remember Mastroeni's dust-up with former owner Dave Checketts in September 2006, when the former Rapids midfielder mocked the fan base by waving his jersey over his head and tucking it into his shorts. Checketts and Mastroeni had words in the belly of Rice-Eccles Stadium after the Rapids' 1-0 win.
But Cassar painted a different picture of the 37-year-old, seven-time MLS All-Star who holds Colorado's franchise records in most games played, games started, minutes played and who served as the club's captain from 2004 until he was traded to the L.A. Galaxy in 2013.
"When I watch Colorado play, they play with the same passion that he had and the same drive," said Cassar, RSL's first-year coach. "They never quit, and that's Pablo to a tee."
Under Mastroeni, the Rapids are off to a 4-3-3 start and are currently in fifth place in the Western Conference with 15 points, five points behind second-place RSL. It's been a positive start for the former Colorado star, who wasn't named head coach until March 8, seven days before the Rapids kicked off their 2014 campaign against the New York Red Bulls on the road.
Defender Chris Wingert played in Colorado in 2006 and 2007 and said Mastroeni's leadership ability and tenacity rank high among guys he's been around in his 12-year MLS career.
"He's maybe one of the greatest leaders I've been around in soccer, for sure," he said. "He really knows how to just get his guys up for the match. Unbelievable motivator and a great mind for the game. It's no surprise he was so successful at the international level, so when [the Rapids] named him coach, I was happy for him."
Colorado native Nat Borchers played with Mastroeni for two seasons playing for the Rapids. The RSL center back said Mastroeni's intensity and will to win makes him a player's coach.
"I think he's already made that club better just by stepping into that position," Borchers said.
As for similarities between two old pals Cassar and Mastroeni, both first-year MLS coaches?
"These guys, they bleed for their clubs. You don't always get that from head coaches," Borchers said. "Some guys are a little more at arm's-length, but these guys, I think if there's one thing they share in common, it's that they bleed for their club. They're so involved and they care."

Bathroom Designs and Beyond: How to Tackle the Planning Process
Get Inspired by Photos
Interior designers often look online and in magazines for design inspiration. This helps them come up with creative ideas for the design layout, materials, tile patterns, colors, and details such as lighting and hardware. Be sure to search for inspiration as well since it will help you gain a better understanding of the direction you want the design to go.
When your interior designer presents their initial ideas, provide feedback that expresses your own thoughts and needs—from functionality, to usage, to what you may or may not like in terms of color. It's important for you to communicate effectively, so your interior designer can try to incorporate these ideas and elements into the design.
Complete Design Drawings
Once inspiration concepts are selected and reviewed, the next step is for your interior designer to complete the design drawings. These drawings are used to convey the design plans to both you and your contractor, and anyone else who's involved in the process, such as tile installers—especially in terms of tile pattern and size.
These drawings should reflect all of the design plans. This will help your interior designer plan out specifics, such as the layout of your tub and shower, toilet, vanity, and tile. They should also include elevation in their drawings, which shows the front or side of the elements within the design plan. Elevation should be used to plan the bathroom vanity design, backsplash tile design, shower and tub configuration, and tile pattern and sizes for any vertical surfaces.
After you've looked at inspirational photos, offered feedback, and have seen completed design drawings from your interior designer, they will begin to select the colors and materials that will be featured within the design. When choosing elements, such as tile, they may head to a store to view samples and check out the range of options. Ordering samples is a great way to get a sense of how certain colors will work in the actual space, how they'll look next to adjacent, existing materials, and how different colors coordinate with each other.
When choosing tile, try to go with a classic, neutral option, such as one from the Modern Dimensions line. This collection comes in an array of colors, both glossy and matte finishes, and in a range of shapes and sizes, allowing you and your interior designer to create a unique pattern. It even includes all the coordinating trim pieces needed to complete a project. This line provides a large degree of flexibility thanks to its many options.
Today's bathroom designs, and just about any design project, require dedication during the planning process. With the help of your interior designer, you'll gather the right inspiration, put together realistic drawings, and then execute the overall design. Use these tips to be successful in creating a design you'll truly love.

Measure the chest just behind the front legs. The harness should be snug, but not tight. Here's a diagram showing exactly where to measure your small dog (opens in a new window).
If your dog's neck is much too small for the size that matches the chest measurement, we recommend adding a strip of Velcro to the neck. In order for the Wrap-N-Go Harness to work properly, both the neck and the chest straps must be snug. You can't make the chest strap bigger, but you can make the neck smaller with a strip of Velcro. Add one to your cart and we'll send it along, free of charge, with your Wrap-N-Go. (Industrial-strength, black, a 3-inch strip that you can cut as needed.)
If your little dog backs out and escapes from his current harness, then the Wrap-N-Go Harness is the right one for him! Does your pup scrunch his shoulders, duck his head and run after the bunny while you're left holding an empty harness? Then you need the Wrap-N-Go Harness. It's the closest thing to an escape-proof harness for small dogs that we've found. It's also a great walking harness for any dog! The Wrap-N-Go Harness looks like a jacket and acts like a dog harness.
The Wrap-N-Go Harness by Bark Appeal® is easy to put on your small dog with wide, heavy-duty (industrial strength!) velcro® straps at the neck and chest. There are no clasps or buckles! No straps to adjust! (Be sure to scroll down to see the size chart.)
Scout, above, who is deaf, can wander at the end of his leash and his people don't have to worry about him escaping. He wouldn't be able to hear them calling if he ran off, chasing a squirrel.
Most dogs are not able to back out of this harness. (See demonstration video below.) In fact Coconut, a Miniature Poodle, comes to the shop with his owners to escape-test new harnesses for us. He's been wearing a Wrap-N-Go Harness for many years without escaping from it! (We have timed Coconut to see how long it took him to escape from other harnesses!)
If your little dog pulls on the leash, any pressure is distributed over the dog's chest and back since the leash ring is behind the shoulder blades. The Wrap-N-Go Harness is no-choke and does not impact the throat or trachea at all. So even if your small dog doesn't try to get out of it, the Wrap-N-Go is a great walking harness. Plus, it's just cute!
The Wrap-N-Go Harness is available in opaque cushiony mesh in Black, Red, Pink, Blue, Lavender, and Red or Lavender Plaid (all colors except Pink are trimmed in Black) or breezy net (Black, Pink, Turquoise, Lavender and Red). The Wrap-N-Go Harness in the net material is as strong as the mesh but allows more air circulation. It's trimmed in the same soft material as the mesh harness. (Hope and Fran actually played tug-of-war with a net Wrap-N-Go Harness to test its strength!) Both harnesses to the left are Wrap-N-Go Harnesses in the color Red. The background is white. You can see that air can flow freely through the Net, while the Mesh has more coverage.
A 4-foot matching leash is available! It has strong nylon edges and mesh in the middle. Available in Mesh or Reflective Mesh.
Monster, a Chihuahua, is wearing the Black Net Wrap-N-Go Harness in Size Small. The second photo is Coco, a Toy Poodle wearing the Pink Mesh in Size X Small. Chota, a 19-pound Miniature Pinscher, is wearing the Red in Size Large. Chota's people tell us that he used to be a dog escape artist - he could get out of any other harness, until he started wearing the Wrap-N-Go Harness! Snuggles, also a Min Pin, is in the Black Net Size Medium. Melody, a 3-pound Chihuahua, wears the Red Net in Size X Small. Teddy, French Bulldog, wears the Large and Booker, 12-week Boston Terrier puppy, wears the Small. All grown up, Booker (in Red and again in the Blue Mesh) wears Size Large. (The Medium also fits Booker, with less velcro® overlap.) Winston, a rescued Westie, is also wearing the Blue Mesh in Size Large. Adorable Dash and Diamond each wear the Size Small. The famous blogger, Dolly the Doxie, is wearing the Red Net. Ace, the adorable Corgi mix, is wearing the Red Plaid and Turquoise Net, in Size Medium. And Scout, above left, is wearing the Red Mesh in Size Large.

"Best harness ever !! Easy to use and lasts longer than any other harness we tried !"
Heather Eldridge on 10/28/2018 7:40:18 AM
"Love this harness! It keeps Cookie comfortable, she can't back out of it, and her Vet loves it also. There's no pressure on her throat which is also good. I'm going to also order a net one for the summer."

Wonderful to find a top-notch, highly decorative and most unusual desk set, French in origin dating to around 1860. Made from nutty coloured burl Walnut, all three pieces are mounted with the most wonderful polished brass mounts all inset with fabulous hand painted porcelain plaques.
Our restorer had to remove all the mounts to professionally clean and on doing so found the name of the figure depicted on the plaques, "Ninon De Lenclos" a French Author, Courtesan, Freethinker and Patron of the Arts.
The set is made up of a Stationery box with brass swing handles each side; the box complete with a working tasselled key. The box opens to reveal the wonderful original gilded leather lining with the original paper lining the sides of the dividers. The lock and hinges are beautifully engraved, a true sign of quality.
The next piece is a hefty large oval Walnut Inkstand with a large glass inkwell to the rear, the brass on top inset with two larger porcelain plaques; the sides inset with six smaller plaques.
The third and final piece of the set is a desk blotter / portfolio with the original blue silk taffeta, the left side with a gussetted portfolio to store paper, letters and additional blotting paper, minor damage / tear to the side of the gusset; mentioned purely for accuracy.
A showy set perfect to showcase on the best of desk - tops; all in excellent condition. The box measures 9 1/2" x 4 1/2" x 5 1/2" tall; the inkstand measures 12 1/4" x 10" and the blotter measuring 11 1/2" x 9".

Wednesday Writings: Henry and Gracie and Company
Those of you who have read Chronicles of the Interred might know that I like big supporting casts in my books.
HOWEVER, Henry and Gracie, although they have quite a few friends and family members popping in and out of the pages, it's mainly about Henry and Gracie. I mean they are after all the main characters, and concentrating on their relationship was so much fun that I had to remind myself they had other people in their lives beside each other.
I must say it was strange having to cut a lot of scenes with the friends. Especially those that involved Franky, one of Gracie's friends. I love Franky. And I'm hoping that when you guys get to read Henry and Gracie, that you'll love him as much as I do. Also if you do... *Spoiler Alert* He and others will be popping in other books I'm writing, like Closer to the Edge. ;)

Drum Roll
We're very pleased to announce that we've managed to find our very own Ferranti 145 "jelly mould" radio.
Sadly there's not a full complement of knobs, the wiring has completely disintegrated and the cabinet seems to have saved seventy years worth of dust and dirt. It won't be a quick fix, but hey, we like a challenge.
On the plus side, the bakelite cabinet is sound and with a bit of TLC will be as good as new.
Having done a bit of research, we were surprised to discover the beautiful styling on the case produced in 1945 wasn't original but had previously used on the, now rare, Nova Consolette way back in 1936. As was often the way with radio production at this time, post-war manufacturers had to make do and mend, using surplus or mixed and matched pre-war components and cabinets.
Thinking about it, I don't know why it came as such a surprise. The shape and line of this radio shouts 1930s design loud and clear.
Function and form, a strong symmetrical shape, bold and beautiful lines. Think Battersea Power Station or the Chrysler Building.
One thing that does surprise. This radio is not as big as it looks. From the photograph I was expecting to see a beast of bakelite but no, it's very neat and compact but still weighs a ton.

Sirona 3D Imaging
Dental Associates of Easley uses the state of the art Sirona® Orthopos XG 3D imaging, so that we might better diagnose you and properly guide your dental implants in the Easley, Greenville, and Pickens area. In addition to traditional bite wing x-rays and panoramic imaging, Sirona® 3D imaging provides additional benefits for patients who require additional comfort, who are concerned about injuries sustained to their dentition, or who will be receiving dental implants from our practice.
Our practice feels that while basic x-ray procedures are useful, they can be limited in scope for certain situations. In these cases, they do not help us give patients the most accurate diagnosis possible.
At Dental Associates of Easley, we want you to receive the best imaging possible for your situation, and often that is best served by bite wing x-rays, panoramic imaging, and other traditional imaging procedures. However, some patients will experience discomfort and a gagging sensation when bitewings are used, making this traditional method too uncomfortable to utilize. Additionally, if you have cracked your tooth, panoramic imaging may not always be able to capture smaller cracks as accurately. In these circumstances, traditional imaging methodology will not be enough to adequately serve your dental needs.
The Sirona® 3D imaging that we use not only cuts down on discomfort for some of our patients, but allows for more detailed examinations and better guided treatments.
With this 3D imaging, our office can not only look at the general health of your smile, but it can do so without producing the gagging that some patients experience with bitewings. Additionally, Sirona® can help us better diagnose possible fractures in the teeth which may be causing dental pain. If you are experiencing pain but an examination or traditional x-ray cannot determine the cause, we can use this method instead to notice otherwise undetected breaks in the teeth. This process enables us to see the extent to which your teeth are damaged or if the crack reaches down to the root.
We even use Sirona® 3D imaging to help us in creating and placing customized dental implants. This form of imaging shows the mouth, sinuses, jawbone, any bony projections, tumors, and any plaque in the arteries - all of which are important areas of concern when planning for dental implants. These implants are placed using template guided planning, creating a safer and more comfortable procedure. Our in-house implanting process allows for a quicker placement of implanting than referring our patients out as well, as now we can diagnose and treat you in the least amount of visits, and with the added accuracy of a digitally guided treatment.
If you live in Easley, Greenville, and the surrounding areas and aren't comfortable with traditional x-rays, or are in the need of safe and accurate dental implants, then make an appointment with Dental Associates of Easley today.
I have been coming here for 35 years, and absolutely love these folks! They are all so friendly and professional. I am never uncomfortable when I am in the chair, and actually look forward to my visit! I highly recommend Dental Associates of Easley to anyone in the area looking for a new dentist. You won't be disappointed!!
Fritz Whittemore
From the moment you walk in the door, everything about Dental Associates of Easley is first class. The office is inviting, pleasant, and equipped with the latest in dental technology. The staff is welcoming, knowledgeable, dedicated to providing the best service. Dr. Edwards is always friendly, professional, and highly talented. I've been a patient for nearly 15 years and couldn't imagine going anywhere else.
Brady Godbey
SO amazing here. My last dentist did terrible fillings and painful experiences but as soon as I switched to here I was in no more pain. Dr. Edwards was amazing with injections and did a perfect root canal. The crown was also perfect! :)

Big Data is being used to analyze and determine healthcare options and billions of people are affected. But what, and who, is lost in the number crunching? THE LIFE EQUATION introduces us to Jose, a new kind of health worker. When he meets Crecencia Buch, a mother of seven with cervical cancer, he faces a daunting question. The price for her treatment is {dollar}10,000 and, at best, it will buy only a few years of life. That money could fund thousands of pap smears -- a cost-effective way of catching cancer early. Should Jose take Crecencia's case on? Across the globe an underfunded hospital in remote Nepal needs a doctor to perform Caesareans. Dr. Shree Ram Tiwari is willing but his expertise does not come cheap. Should the hospital hire him? Powerful computers crunch the numbers and choose interventions, an approach embraced by philanthropists like Bill Gates. But others question whether algorithms can truly capture the complexities of global health. Filmed over four years, THE LIFE EQUATION follows two people caught in the number-crunching. We learn of the choices they face, and the choices that are taken out of their hands.

Despite recent rains, because this year has been one of the driest in memory, the annual fire season has been extended. The Predictive Services section at the National Interagency Fire Center has issued their Wildland Fire Potential Outlook for February through May, 2014. If their prediction is correct there will be elevated wildfire potential in most of the mountainous areas in California.
Indeed, in September, a wildfire threatened the community of Clayton, which is on the edge of Mount Diablo State Park, in Contra Costa County about 15 miles northeast of San Francisco. Twenty-five fire engines, four air tankers, three helicopters and more than 175 firefighters rushed to the scene. It quickly burned over 800 acres. State authorities ordered the evacuations of dozens of homes.
COWs need to be ever vigilant and take reasonable precautions in protecting thier "defensible space," which is the space between your house or buildings and the surrounding untouched landscape that will likely burn during a wildfire. Fuel loads are reduced by removing brush, landscaping with the right sort of plants, and providing space for firefighters to defend your home. You may be eligible for Woodside's Defensible Space Matching Program. The grant program matches dollars spent by the homeowners with dollars provided by the Town – with the idea that making individual homes safer makes the Town safer. The $25,000 fund will match up to $1,000 per qualifying homeowner, and is available on a first come first served basis.
The Woodside Fire Protection District reminds us that we need to think about what we would do in an emergency before that emergency occurs. They provide essential information in case the worst happens, and you and your family need to evacuate your home to escape from danger – whether due to fire, earthquake, or some other disaster. Evacuations in Town, if necessary, will be declared by the Town's Emergency Operations Center group. The plan lists likely evacuation areas and routes, reminders of the necessity of neighbors helping neighbors, and thoughts on how to keep pets safe during an evacuation. It also has important safety checklists, information on the chain of command of public safety responders, and how evacuation stations will be managed safely in the event of an emergency. Useful maps of the different regions of Woodside and how they should evacuate are an integral section of the plan, and will definitely come in handy in case of emergency.
More important safety information can be found at the WFPD website. Check it out here.

Baby Back Ribs Korean Style
Gregory Clapp
The recipe of the month this month is "Baby Back Ribs Korean Style". I found this recipe several years ago in a magazine and it's become a family favorite. The sauce is light and the cooking directions are uncomplicated.
- 1 ½ cup sugar
- 1 cup soy sauce (I like mushroom soy)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons chili sauce (from an Asian grocery)
- 4 green onions chopped
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger minced
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon corn starch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
Place all sauce ingredients in a pan. Bring to a boil stirring constantly until it thickens. Remove from heat.

I had to actually stop and think about this for a moment. I re-read all them at least three times and realized something: "Hawke's life is based around lies, derps, the Maker and angry people. How does she handle it all? By getting them into her bed...except her siblings. And Sebastian. Him and his damn chastity. MAKE A MAN OUT OF HIM, HAWKE!"

Yes, these do match with the companions. And I agree if you count awkward as a subset of derp for Merrill. But this is why Bethany died on my play through, even though Carver is annoying at times he definitely actually has a personality. Bethany just is, well I don't remember her doing more than agreeing with me. The boys should also have a glow option as well.

Capitol Alert
Part-time community college instructors to get job protections
California is set to guarantee collective bargaining rights for adjunct faculty at community colleges with a law that supporters say is the first of its kind in the nation.
Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday signed Assembly Bill 1690 and Senate Bill 1379, mandating that state's community college districts come to the negotiating table with part-time instructors to discuss reemployment and termination rules.
Faculty advocates nationwide have increasingly raised concerns about the working conditions of adjuncts, at-will instructors generally paid by the course and hired anew at the beginning of each term, who they say must string together classes at different schools to earn a meager living. More than two-thirds of California community college faculty are part-time, and they teach about half of all courses.
AB 1690, by Assemblyman Jose Medina, D-Riverside, originally would have guaranteed a workload for adjuncts who reach a certain level of seniority. But after the community colleges objected to proscriptive provisions that they said would have put them at a disadvantage in bargaining, the Legislature amended the measure with SB 1379, by Sen. Tony Mendoza, D-Artesia, which merely requires that the negotiations occur.
"AB 1690 has shortcomings, but SB 1379 remedies those defects," Brown wrote in his signing statement.
Only 32 of the state's 72 community college districts currently offer some sort of reemployment right, such as guaranteed classes for senior instructors, according to Medina's office.
"There are over two million students in California Community Colleges, and part-time faculty play a critical role in their success," Medina said in a statement. "By improving employment practices for part-time faculty, this legislation will benefit both these dedicated educators and their students.:"

Vietnam seeks USD 100 mn from India for Tata project
"Government of Vietnam has requested Indian government to assist by giving USD 100 million for site clearance for the project," Vice Minister of Industry and Trade of Vietnam Le Xuan Quang said.
The project has been stalled after the provincial government estimated the acquisition cost at USD 200 million for around 4,000 acres of land, an amount Tata-Steel was not happy with and refused to pay.
This resulted in Indian business giant not receiving the investment license for its 4.5 million-tonne steel plant at Vung Ang Economic Zone in Ha Tinh province.
The issue has also been taken up by at the highest level by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, External Affairs Minister S M Krishna and Former Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee.
Sources close to the project said the land cost asked from Tata is very high as compared to what has been taken from Taiwan-based Formosa group to set up a steel plant in the same province.
When pointed out that Vietnamese government was paying part of the land compensation for the land given to Formosa group, Quang said the country has been affected by the global economic slowdown and it does not have money for site clearance for the Tata-Steel project.
"Vietnam has also been affected by global economic crisis and we do not have money for site clearance (for the Tata project). We have requested Tata to pay the money," he said.
"Our government is very active in addressing the pending issues between Tata and local authorities," Quang said but warned that further delay in finalising the land compensation may result in increase in land acquisition cost.
Sources said Tata`s patience was running thin as it was unhappy over the way the whole issue has been handled by Vietnamese authorities. As per Vietnamese law, the investment license has to be issued by provincial authorities.
The project is to be implemented by a joint venture in which Tata Steel holds 65 per cent stake while Vietnam Steel Corporation holds 30 per cent and the balance is with Vietnam Cement Industries Corporation.
An initial pact for the USD 5 billion project was signed among the three companies in 2007 and a final agreement was reached in August 2008.
When asked about the issue, Indian diplomatic sources said the project was an important one and India has been doing its best to ensure resolution of the issue.
Consul General of India in Ho Chi Minh city Abhay Thakur said government was hopeful of Tata-Steel being issued the investment license soon. "The matter has been taken up at very high levels on both sides. We remain hopeful that investment license will be forthcoming subject to commercial and technical issues being resolved to mutual trust," he said.
People close to the project feel that it was unfair on part of Vietnam to hold back investment license as India has been helping the country in various areas for last few decades, including in strengthening their defence capabilities. They said Tata-Steel felt discriminated as the land given to it originally for the plant was given to Formosa in 2008 and an alternative plot was offered to it in 2009.
The issue was raised by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh when Vietnamese President Truong Tan Sang visited New Delhi in October last year.
In May last year, Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung too had given an assurance to implement the project when Mukherjee had called on him here.

Our school culture and continued commitment to excellence in teaching and learning mean that we are dedicated to improvement. LWGMS is continually evolving and improving – just like our students – while holding fast to who we are at the core. As we crafted our Strategic Plan this past year, we centered around our desire to sustain what we love about L-Dub while being responsive to the changing needs of our students and families. The plan's three planks – advancing academics, the school, and our community – provide a roadmap for our continued success over the next five years, during which time we will celebrate our school's 20th anniversary. As we move toward this milestone, it is an exciting time to build upon the school's strengths as we look to the potential of the future.
This continued success is the result of our strong community. Many people were instrumental in making the past school year both enriching and inspiring as our girls engaged with the academic, personal, and social joys and challenges of middle school. LWGMS is fortunate to have exceptional support from our parents, grandparents, alumnae, and friends. Our volunteers are engaged with many aspects of the school: events, committees, work parties, supporting the program, and connecting our students to guests and experiences that augment the curriculum. I would like to thank our Board of Trustees for their strategic leadership and stewardship. Our parent leadership is also very strong, and I thank our Fuerza Family Association for their work. And of course, at the heart of our school are our students. LWGMS students had an exceptional year of learning and growing.
Highlights of our year together included a three day field trip focused on allyship for people in poverty and homelessness; celebrations and performances such as Festival de Otoño and Festival of Lights; events that cultivate entrepreneurship and innovation such as Startup Weekend Girls and the Seattle Interactive Conference; accolades for the LWGMS Social Justice Film Festival; our enrichment partnerships with Kids in Medicine, Meter Music, and Quantum Martial Arts; community competitions such as Mock Trial, the Environmental Issues Slam, and the First Lego League Robotics competition; service events including ongoing work with Centerstone and St. Clouds Homeless Cooking Project, the Carry 5 Walk for Water, food drives, and bake sales to support Day of the Girl initiatives; a new L-Dub Bike Club; the piloting of a Roots of Empathy program for middle schoolers; a teacher-initiated mindfulness program; and one super fun surprise dance party at school.
We are grateful that our students have such rich and varied experiences in which they exercise both creativity and courage. We find joy in this vibrant community and shared purpose: to empower girls to be strong in mind, body, and voice.
We are always looking for ways to introduce L-Dub to the broader community. Building relationships with women in leadership positions, getting on the radar of individuals with ties to organizations and foundations dedicated to girls' education, and connecting with prospective supporters strengthens our school's position in Seattle's competitive independent school market. We know that experiencing the school in action, and meeting our students in their element, is the best way for people to really get a feel for what L-Dub is all about. Touring a large group through the school has it's limitations so, along with our Board of Trustees, we decided to host a luncheon on campus. There were eighth grade social justice films to screen, seventh grade students eager to share their experiences on their Fall Service Trip, our student body president was at the ready to represent her constituents, and another group excited at the prospect of being table captains. Needless to say, L-Dub students rose to the occasion.They wowed sixty visitors in our big room with their poise and confidence, and successfully managed to lead their tables through a hands-on problem solving exercise! We are so very grateful to our Trustees, past and present, for attending and inviting their friends to L-Dub. Our students wholeheartedly agree, making new friends feels really good.
See the rest of the G3 Luncheon photos here.
Volunteers are the lifeblood of LWGMS; without them, it isn't likely that we would be able to meet our goals and fulfill our mission. We are eternally grateful for the way volunteers enrich our community, and enhance the educational experience of our girls. But did you know that corporations are increasing the value of volunteers' time with employee volunteer grant programs?
Thousands of companies offer monetary grants to eligible nonprofit organizations when employees volunteer their non-paid time, seemingly doubling the value of a volunteer's time.
Volunteer grant programs, also known as "Dollars for Doers" programs, are charitable giving programs set up by corporations in which the company provides a monetary donation to eligible nonprofits as a way to recognize employees who volunteer. They enable corporations to give back to their communities and support organizations that employees are already passionate about.
Although volunteer grants are a relatively new form of corporate giving, they're already widely offered among Fortune 500 companies and are catching on at smaller firms. For instance, in our area alone:
- Microsoft provides $25 grants for every hour a Microsoft employee volunteers
- Adobe awards $250 for every ten hours volunteered
- Starbucks provides a $250 grant for every 25 hours of volunteering
- The RealNetworks Foundation provides grants of $15 for every hour volunteered by employees
- Intel provides $10 per hour volunteered
- Google provides grants of $50 for every five hours of volunteering
- Alaska Air provides a volunteer grant of $10 per hour to qualified organizations, after employees volunteer at least five hours with an organization.
In fact, hundreds of companies offer volunteer grant programs with donations generally ranging from $10-$25 per hour volunteered.
INTEL® MakeHers: Engaging Girls and Women in Technology through Making, Creating, and Inventing
On October 13, 2014 – the Day of the Girl – fifteen ambassadors from the Intel Girls and Women initiative volunteered with us and exposed the Class of 2017 to STEAM in action (and strong role modeling!) Thank you to Lizabeth Anderson, David Lin, Jane Mareth, Basu Nagarahalli, Carolyn Russell, Kirsten Spoljaric, Rex St John, Nadia Steere, Phillip Stephens, Allison Takeuchi, Kristan Weller P'15, Merrie Williamson, and Hope Yonemitsu – who not only wowed us with their awesomeness, but who are also directly responsible for a $2,000 volunteer grant LWGMS received from Intel. Both of these things – the volunteering and the grant – are no small things for our school, and we are very grateful.
I want to change the world. Those words have become so common that they hold little meaning anymore. Before L-Dub I never questioned these words. Before L-Dub I didn't know that I could effect change, that I could help the world just by being myself. I didn't know that I didn't have to wear a cape and knee high boots to really help people.
In sixth grade, I remember my first Writing Workshop class. Ms. Eva gave us a broad writing assignment. One girl raised her hand and asked "How do we know what to write about?" Ms.Eva replied "Write what you wish the world could read. Write a piece that you would want to read." That is how I want to change the world. Now you might be wondering what writing advice and changing the world have to do with each other. I want to see a problem in the world and change it. I want to help to fix the problems I wish the world didn't have.
But before I put on my cape and knee high boots and flew into the world and started helping people, I needed to learn how to help people. L-Dub taught me that my small actions not only creates change but serve as inspiration for others. Inspiring and teaching others is our most difficult, but also our greatest job as citizens of this beautiful world. Throughout my L-Dub experience I helped raise money for girls in developing nations, I worked in kitchens helping to feed the homeless, participated in events such as WE Day, and taught kids about endangered species. I have experienced how my actions help people first hand.
My time at L-Dub inspired me to be an engaged, compassionate citizen in my community.

At LWGMS we focus on social and emotional learning (SEL) and mindfulness – two separate processes that work great when taught and learned together. One works from the outside-in, and the other works from the inside-out. When the two come together in the mind of a girl, the effect is powerful:
- Self awareness: Students' self-awareness deepens when enhanced by the mindfulness practices of focusing attention and self-compassion.
- Self management: Mindfulness increases students' emotion regulation skills, which enhances their ability to resolve conflict more creatively.
- Social awareness: Mindfulness increases students' empathy by helping them to regulate their emotions rather than get emotionally overwhelmed when faced with a difficult situation.
- Relationship skills: Mindfulness increases compassion.
- Decision-making: Mindfulness increases cognitive flexibility and creativity, which gives students a wider range of responses to challenging situations.
ROOTS of EMPATHY
In 2014/2015, LWGMS's Class of 2017 was invited to participate in a wonderful program called Roots of Empathy – the pilot of the middle school version of this program in the Pacific Northwest. Roots of Empathy is an evidence-based school program that has shown significant effect in raising social emotional competence and increasing empathy; it has been in place for more than ten years across Canada and internationally and has engaged thousands of students in the elementary grades.
Once every three weeks, one of two babies visited the seventh grade class with their mother. A trained Roots of Empathy Instructor gathered the girls and together they witnessed the growth of these babies. The girls predicted (and cheered) when their Roots of Empathy babies reached their 'developmental milestones' of the first year: "She can roll over!" "She got her first tooth!" "She can sit up!" "She can crawl!!"
The Roots of Empathy Instructors coached the girls in observing the babies and reading the cues the baby gives as to how the baby was feeling: "Is the baby happy or sad?" "How can you tell?" The group used this discussion as a lever for the girls to talk about their own emotions and to understand how their classmates feel. The Roots of Empathy Instructors visited the classrooms before and after each Family Visit to prepare and reinforce teachings, using a specialized lesson plan for each visit.
This program continues today with the Class of 2018.
We ask a lot of our alumnae. We call on them to mentor current students, to help with Open Houses, to advise eighth grade students about transitioning to high school, and to share their experiences and insights with our community. But – as you can glean from their words shared at our Annual Auction – sisters Maya and Grace remind us that L-Dub inspires our students and graduates to do much more. L-Dub girls are asked to "preach their speeches" and to share their compassion for the world in whatever setting and community they find themselves. We do clap and we do cheer, and we are so very proud of each and everyone of our students. Their stories inspire our teachers and our community to continue to invest their expertise, their time, and their resources so that every girl admitted has the opportunity and the confidence to "speak and act with intention".
As I look back on the year, it is no wonder our students graduate from middle school feeling emboldened and prepared for what is to come. Students faced their fears on backcountry excursions, recited original poems in front of a crowd, practiced and performed their lines at the theater, and delved deep into their studies. Maya and Grace confirm for us what L-Dub is all about: a school where girls gain the skills, confidence, compassion, and strength of character to change the world.
As I look forward to the coming year, I am filled with wonder and anticipation for what lies ahead. Strumming student-built guitars, cheering on our robotics team, and clapping as the curtain closes at the end of each one of our theater productions. Join me as I take stock of this amazing place we call L-Dub: the myriad of students and each of their unique and powerful stories.
We are proud of our students, and we are determined to continue to celebrate, educate, and inspire many more of our community's middle school girls. We know that this resolve requires more than determination. We know that to offer our school as a viable and compelling option to the vast array of girls in our city, we must deliver on our promises, and we must forge long-lasting, authentic partnerships with our supporters. It is with this energy and commitment we ask for your support.

In some ways, I can't even believe I'm writing this post. I had this great idea in my mind that I was going to be this super breezy, chill bride, who just casually throws together a few neat elements and BOOM, instagram-worthy wedding without even trying. In reality, those instagram-styled weddings you see covering the internet involve significant planning, thinking, and creating, to get to the final product – much like any stunning photo, there is work behind it.
As I was trying to pull together the threads of my wedding, particularly, trying to get everything booked in and deposits paid (which means the nitty gritty can be decided on later), I was having a constant low-level panic about what the heck I actually wanted my wedding to look like. I sent my very patient maid of honour a panic email (I know that typically the groom would have to suffer, sorry, help with this part, but my sneaky groom is off in the USA for 6 months, so I'm bearing this heavy burden alone), saying I just had no idea what the heck I wanted! I wanted everything I saw on Pinterest – after all, I only get to be a self-indulgent bride once, and I want my wedding to have all of the trinkets that come with the modern wedding. On the other hand – I wanted the style I saw on Pinterest, not just a panic-strewn room of ill-thought out details, only added so that I didn't miss out. I wanted cohesion and order, and a real sense of us, while also preserving the desire to have the feeling I had everything I wanted at the wedding (mitigating against FOMO).
That's when I realised that, despite my original derision, picking wedding colours is a really good idea. Having wedding colours, or a wedding palette, gives you a starting point on which to base everything else. For example, I'm pretty passionate about the glossy white LED dance floors happening at weddings lately, while also loving the soft candle-light and greenery styling, and being besotted with the oversized vintage letters. These are all great things. But if you have all of them, you don't have a cohesive style, which isn't a bad thing, but it makes decision-making hard. Not only are weddings dictated by your budget, they are also dictated by your style, and the more decisive you are on both from the beginning, the more fun the rest of the planning.
After my maid of honour patiently wrote back, distilling everything I'd written to her into two clear themes (seriously, the woman is brilliant), I had a better picture of what the options were. And after assessing where I was at the time, I realised I knew exactly what I wanted – which made briefing the florist (and getting a very affordable quote) so much easier. It made picking a dress style so much easier. It made everything so much easier (and also more fun!) because I knew what I wanted now.
Are you as lost as I was? Trying to avoid all bridezilla stereotypes while also trying not to get stuck in a wedding vortex? Just looking for a way to make a darn decision? Then read on my friends, for this is how I discovered my wedding colours.
1. Get a Pinterest account
I know. Maybe you've held out for all this time. But I promise you, it will be worth it.
2. Search 'wedding' / 'wedding colours' / 'wedding styles' / 'party styles' / bouquets
And then pin the things you find that you like to three boards: Styling Inspiration, Colour Inspiration and Flower Inspiration. If you are wittier than I, feel free to come up with much more interesting titles.
3. Repeat for a few weeks
Just check in whenever you have some down time, and pin a little more.
4. Open up your boards
This is where it happens. You are only pinning things you like, and that stick out to you. Over time, a pattern will develop. And then, when you open your boards, THERE IT IS. Your colour scheme (and, if you're lucky, your 'theme' or 'style').
Obviously, this won't be perfect – sometimes you have a specific taste, other times there's a vague theme and then, in the middle of it all, you've pinned a circus but that circus looked seriously fun. That's okay. That helps build all the detail around your party. Maybe you have a photo booth. Maybe your wedding takes place inside a circus tent! But the core theme, and the thing around which you base all your billions of wedding elements, will be there, and you will know that you personally created it.
Good luck, brides. Planning a wedding is not for the faint of heart. Although it is so much fun, and in many ways, I've never been happier, there is a significant amount of stress-inducing expectation that comes from many external parties, and from yourself. Any time it starts to overwhelm you (including when looking at Pinterest), just take a step back, and remind yourself of what really matters. You get to marry the person you love. You get to have all the other people you love there to celebrate with. And you get presents.
