Mono Lake making a slow slog to health
Yellow warblers back: But recovery is no sure thing, and water must rise 8 feet
There was a time when it was hard to find yellow warblers at Rush Creek.
But on a recent sunny morning, a yellow warbler plunged through a gap in a stream-side cottonwood forest, flying back to the nest where her chicks were hiding. Suddenly, she was stopped in midair, tangled in a mist net.
Field biologist Chris McCreedy found the bird in his snare a few minutes later. "Hi there, sweetie," McCreedy said as he set to work.
He untangled the bird, recorded its vitals - it was a 2-year-old female that weighed 10 grams, about as much as a ballpoint pen - and gently clamped an identification band to one of her legs.
Then he opened his palm and released her back to Rush Creek, a major tributary to Mono Lake in the panorama of the eastern Sierra, and the focus of an agonizingly complex and decades-long effort to heal a vast wilderness devastated by Los Angeles' insatiable thirst.
Plenty of warblers
Now, 14 years after the city was ordered to reduce the quantity of tributary water it had been diverting into the Los Angeles aqueduct since 1941, Rush Creek has among the highest concentrations of yellow warblers in California - roughly three pairs per 2 1/2 acres.
"Restrict grazing and bring back the water, and things really start hopping," McCreedy said.
That's the good news. Orchestrating the restoration continues to be a challenging process for the Mono Lake Committee, a nonprofit group of environmentalists and concerned citizens organized in 1978 to save and protect a bowl-shaped high country ecosystem roughly half the size of Rhode Island.
Nonetheless, Geoffrey McQuilkin, executive director of the 16,000-member group, said he often is asked, "Why is the Mono Lake Committee still around? You got the water you needed years ago. Isn't Mono Lake saved?"
His stock response: "We still have a long way to go."
Over the years, the committee has stopped city water diversions, potentially damaging highway widening projects and proposed lakeshore development. But its biologists still can't explain why Rush Creek's trout are not growing as large as expected.
Metaphorically speaking, the nearly million-year-old alkaline Mono Lake at the base of the jagged eastern escarpment of the Sierra Nevada couldn't be farther from the congested subdivisions surrounding Los Angeles, about 350 miles to the south. But that's where the water from four of Mono Lake's five tributary streams has been going since 1941.
By the late 1970s, the environmental degradation in the region just east of Yosemite National Park was on full view. Tributary streams dried up. The lake level had dropped more than 40 vertical feet and the water had doubled in salinity, leaving behind smelly salt flats scoured by choking dust storms. The increasingly salty water threatened to kill brine shrimp, a favorite food of the estimated 50,000 California gulls that breed here each year.
Further decline, the committee warned, would transform Mono Lake into an "ugly sump surrounded by a bathtub ring of sterile white alkali encrustments."
Formal protests began with a lawsuit filed in Mono County Superior Court in 1979 against the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power by the Mono Lake Committee, Audubon Society and three local residents. The lawsuit alleged violations of public trust and creation of a public and private nuisance by the exposing of 14,700 acres of former lake bed.
In 1983, the U.S. Supreme Court let stand a California Supreme Court ruling that environmentalists have the right to challenge the amount of water that Los Angeles imports from tributaries of Mono Lake.
The California State Water Control Resources Board later ordered minimum flows restored for all diverted streams, while still allowing the agency to divert some water for consumption in Los Angeles.
On the mend
This year, as the committee celebrates its 30th anniversary, Mono Lake, while still far from its historic natural conditions, is mending.
On a recent weekday, the northwest corner of Mono Lake reflected the alpine peaks beyond as migrating Wilson's phalaropes - making a pit stop to bulk up during their transcontinental journey to Argentina - probed its shallows to breakfast on a species of brine shrimp found nowhere else. Ospreys surveyed the placid lake from huge nests of sticks on moonlike tufa towers, strange formations built up from deposits of limestone from freshwater springs.
But the water in Mono Lake remains 34 feet below its pre-diversion level, and it still has 8 vertical feet to rise before it reaches the target of 6,391 feet above sea level. That was set by the Water Control Resources Board, and if the mark isn't hit by 2014, the panel will hold a hearing on the matter.
This year, the lake level is expected to rise a foot. But as nearly always seems to be the case with Mono Lake, each advance comes with a setback; the water level is expected to fall a foot by year's end.
"We can feel a whole lot better than we did in 1978," said McQuilkin, the committee's executive director. "But environmental issues are not black and white. We have to be patient. Mono Lake will always be a work in progress."

Mike Hancock, a Lib Dem MP, said that the coming cuts to welfare budgets would be "spiteful, vindictive…and pander to the worse aspects of the Tories.
His attack came as Mr Clegg prepared to give his keynote speech to his party at their annual conference in Liverpool. The Deputy Prime Minister will dismiss his critics, arguing that he was right to form a Coalition with David Cameron's Conservatives.
Mr Hancock wrote an open letter to Mr Clegg outlining his fears for the party.
He said: "I am writing to you with two concerns. Firstly, that we may be abandoning a key aspect of the Liberal Democrat policy in supporting the welfare state.
"And secondly, we are going beyond the coalition agreement without it being referred back to the democratic structures of the party. I am sure you agree with me that we must not have dictatorship of the party by 20 Lib Dem ministers."
As one of the few Lib Dem MPs without a government post, Mr Hancock has become a focal point for Lib Dem dissent.
He went on: "We agreed the coalition agreement as a democratic party through our agreed democratic structures. There is now concern in the party that the agreement goes beyond what was agreed.
"It probably remains one of your frustrations that leading the Lib Dems is a bit like herding cats! However it remains one of the strengths of this party that we can have a proper grown-up discussion."
The MP complained that policies such as a rise in VAT had been adopted without approval despite not being detailed in the coalition agreement.
And he warned against attacks on welfare, saying proposed cuts in benefits would be "spiteful, vindictive, increase poverty, reduce freedom and social mobility and pander to the worse aspects of Tories".
But Lord Ashdown, the former Lib Dem leader, threw his weight fully behind Mr Clegg's coalition decision, despite initially having reservations.
He told the BBC: "I think this is exactly the right thing, I backed it right from the start. Nick had the right judgment on this and I support him fully, completely and energetically."
He also defended the forthcoming cuts, saying: "My judgment is it will be done in a way which is much fairer than would otherwise have been the case because of the Lib Dems."
He added: "If the Liberal Democrats had not gone into coalition, the consequences for the party would have been worse, the risk for our party would have been greater, the benefit for our country would have been fantastically diminished."

I thought I'd share my thoughts and feels about the new Allegiant trailer. In case you haven't seen it, I've posted it below:
The first part of the trailer just goes through and briefly summarizes what happened in the past two movies. I thought that was kind of useless. Instead of putting so much info in there about Divergent and Insurgent, they could have put in more clips from Allegiant. I think that makes sense, right? No other movie trailer takes us back in time like this one does.
After the blast-from-the-past scenes, the trailer moves on to the gang climbing over the wall. I seriously don't remember this being in the book. Actually, I don't remember any of the book, so of course I don't remember any of what's being shown (if it's even the same). If you know the major differences, you should definitely comment below and let me know. Obviously, I'm too lazy to look them up myself. ;)
I do like all of the Theo James action scenes. They're very nice. Very, very nice. Although, there is one where he's blowing his cheeks out and it kind of made me chuckle. He looked like a blowfish. Now, Shailene Woodley, she's someone I'm sure you've all recognized by now that I have a very like/hate relationship with. She was good in The Fault in Our Stars, but I didn't care for her very much in the first Divergent movie. She was just a'ight. I still don't feel like she's a really good fit for Theo James/ Four, though. They just seem like total opposites. However, Shailene was better in Insurgent. I actually really enjoyed her in that one—minus all of her random screams and grunts. Let's hope she keeps up the momentum.
All in all, I'm looking forward to this movie—I'm just not looking forward to waiting another year until Part 2 releases. (Stupid film companies. Splitting movies that don't need split.) I'm also happy they're branching out of Veronica Roth's world, because, honestly, Allegiant the book was a hot mess to me. I'm also kind of intrigued by the Part 2 title Ascendant. I just hope the ending of that movie is completely different from Roth's.

© Jeanne E Webster
"My name is Jeanne Webster,
Web…eb…ster, Web…eb…ster,
My name is Jeanne Webster…
Who are you?"
I remember singing this song in first grade. As a way of getting to know each other, we'd go around the classroom and when it got to you, you'd sing this, using your name in place of the last student's name. It's a good way to introduce yourself.
My name is Jeanne Webster. I was born in western Massachusetts, grew up under the "Army brat" emblem, moved almost every three years, ending up graduating from high school in Germany. My early adulthood was spent as a soldier's spouse and mother of four children; have seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. I've worked as a nurse's aide, certified medical tech, veterinarian assistant, Home Health Care assistant, and freelance writer.
I have been writing since I learned to scribble my name and going non-stop ever since. Non-fiction is my first love but lately I have ventured into the fiction domain. As you can see from my offerings here, I love prose also. Curiosity draws me into new territories and techniques, as I believe challenges are excellent stimulants for the spirit.
I am a Christian and take my faith in Jesus Christ most seriously. He is the focus of all my endeavors and the reason I am who I am. I have been a member of numerous denominations, from Catholic, Presbyterian, Baptist, and back to Catholic. Presently I do not hold membership in any church. I feel there are too many man-made doctrines infused into religion and therefore I present myself to Christ alone. Christianity is not a religion but a way of life.
A never-bored character, I relish poking around in the corners of my days, seeking out the easily overlooked weeds of life for a rose or two. I love books, books and more books. I even read manuals that come with new things I buy! Crafts are my constant companions, along with the need to set down in hard copy my imaginings. My thoughts are a whole different world; it's a Jeanne in Wonderland most days. My one complaint in life, if it's really a complaint, is that there isn't enough time in the day to explore the caverns of the mind and the outside world that God has blessed us with.
I love people, care for people, make new friends, pamper the old friends, and do a heap of praying for people. You're my sister, my brother, my mom, my dad, my son, my daughter, and on and on. In other words, you matter to me.
Sooo…who are you? I'd like to know you too!

New Wyoming Wind and Transmission
On April 4, 2017, Rocky Mountain Power announced a 20-year Integrated Resource Plan that includes significant investment in Wyoming. The company submitted its requests for regulatory review on June 30, 2017.
The plan includes approximately $2.35 billion of new wind and transmission by 2020:
- Around 1,150 megawatts of new wind, likely in Wyoming
- Construction of a new 140-mile, 500-kilovolt Gateway West transmission segment
By taking advantage of federal production tax credits, these projects will provide net savings for Wyoming customers and benefits to state and local economies.
How will this benefit Wyoming?
These investments will help diversify the state's economy, create jobs and add to the tax base.
We expect these projects to:
- Create between 1,000 and 1,400 construction jobs in Wyoming
- Contribute approximately $70 million in tax revenue during development and construction
- Add to annual tax revenues by approximately $11 million in 2021, growing to approximately $14 million annually in 2024

Alex Gimeno (born January 1, 1977) is an American DJ best known for Ursula 1000, a wide-ranging musical project including lounge, breakbeat, glam rock and cha cha.
Gimeno was born in Brooklyn, New York, United States. During his childhood, he and his family moved to Miami Beach where his father had an extended residency. He moved back to Brooklyn in the late 1990s.
In his youth, Gimeno was exposed to 50s and 60s exotica, world music, bossa nova and mambo through his parents, which deeply influenced him. His own personal tastes were deep in new wave, post-punk, glam rock, hip hop and acid house. He began collecting records as a teenager and in his own words, "never stopped". By 2005, he owned over 20,000 records, filling up an entire room in his apartment. His father worked as a musician and was a member of a flamenco band called Los Chavales de España.
Gimeno entered the music business around 1990. He was a DJ in Miami Beach for nearly a decade, and early in his career, he played drums for a band called 23. He also had his own show on the pirate radio station WOMB.
After extensive work as a DJ, he sent a demo of original work to Washington, D.C.-based record label ESL Music, which was immediately interested in signing him. On that label, Gimeno has released a number of original albums and several mix sessions.
He has done remixes for Quincy Jones, Felix Da Housecat, The Faint, Fort Knox Five to a slew of television remodels for themes to Sesame Street, The Powerpuff Girls, The Incredibles, and Yo Gabba Gabba. Scenes and promos for Sex And The City, Greys Anatomy and How I Met Your Mother, and Modern Family have also featured several of his remixes, as have marketing campaigns for AT&T, Samsung, Adidas and Grand Marnier. His songs have been used in video games like Destroy All Humans!, NBA 2K9 and Tap Tap Revenge.
His collaborations with Dr. Luke, Kool Kojak, Fred Schneider, Isabelle Antena, Shag, Cristina, Los Amigos Invisibles, Misty Roses, Federico Aubele to name a few brought forth sheer magic on the five albums, The Now Sound of Ursula 1000, Kinda Kinky, Here Comes Tomorrow, Mystics and Mondo Beyondo. All Systems Are Go Go and Ursadelica showed the world his dj skills and ear for the best in hip shaking groovers. Undressed had it all re-imagined by electronics finest like Deekline, Ladytron, Product.01, Malente and more.
He has performed in over 30 countries and created sound design/runway music for Issey Miyake, Desigual, Prada, Miu Miu, Hugo Boss, Miss Sixty and Christian Dior.
In 2013, he started his own label called Insect Queen Music, releasing side projects such as the space disco influenced Quentin Quatro. The Disco Quatro EP and the Quatrophonic EP were released in 2014. The 6th Ursula 1000 album, Voyeur, and the first on his Insect Queen label will be released the summer of 2015 featuring collaborations with Lady Bunny and the torch singing clown Puddles Pity Party.

Taiwan's Starlux Airlines has signed an agreement with Airbus to confirm the order for 17 Airbus widebody aircraft today, including 12 A350-1000 aircraft and 5 A350-900 aircraft.
The newly formed airline will use the aircraft ordered to fly its high-end long-haul routes from Taipei to Europe and North America, as well as selected select Asia-Pacific routes.
Zhang Guojun, founder and chairman of Starlux Airlines, said: "We are very pleased to sign a formal agreement to order the Airbus widebody aircraft. The Airbus A350 combines ultra-long-range flight capability, significant low operating costs and excellent passenger comfort, which is also our deciding key factors in ordering this model. Starlux Airlines is committed to being one of the best airlines in the world. With the Airbus A350, we will be able to expand our route network to further destinations, and in the near future provide more passengers with our first class service.
Airbus Chief Commercial Officer Christian Scherer said: "Mr. Zhang Guofan and StarLux Airlines have shown that even from scratch, there is no need to compromise. Each of Starlux's Airbus A350 aircraft is lighter than other alternatives. Imagine how much savings this can bring! And the A350's range is more than 1000 nautical miles longer than other alternatives, allowing Starlux Airlines to fly directly to the US East Coast. Think about this extra market and revenue! Both the A350-1000 and A350-900 aircraft have true long-range flight capabilities and superior passenger comfort, as well as economic benefits due to fleet versatility. We pay tribute to Starlux Airlines' strategic choices and support their ambitions. "
The taiwan aviation isn't necessarily small, but it's not huge like China, with so much widebody aircrafts piling up, I am wondering how they are able to fill all thoses seats, as Taiwan's capital airport Taipei Taoyuan already has Eva Air and China Airlines both as their biggest hub operaters and are part of an airline alliance.
It is said the airline is trying to be the best airline in the world, with their first route between Taipei – Hong Kong flying on an A321neo, the busiest routes by pax number on earth.

China Eastern Airlines To Increase Shanghai – Paris Route To 17 Flights Weekly
There are two routes in China Eastern's network that is of crucial importance for the airline's survival, it's domestic flight between Shanghai and Beijing(MU&FM) together with its low cost subsidiary – China United Airlines(KN), generated almost half of the airline's annual profit in fiscal year 2018; and its most important long haul route, Shanghai Pudong to Paris Charles De Gaulle, is becoming the second most frequently operated Sino-European route after Shanghai(SHA) – London(LON) which is served by four carriers (Air China(CA), British Airways(BA), China Eastern(MU) & Virgin Atlantic(VS)) with up to 4 flights daily. In 2020, China Eastern Airlines' Shanghai – Paris route will continue to served with a frequency increase of up to 17 flights per week and they are in the planing phase of opening a direct route from the brand new Beijing Daxing airport to Paris.
"This year marks the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France. The heads of state of China and France have successfully exchanged visits, pushing the relationship between the two countries to a new level. Aviation cooperation is a "bridge" connecting the people of China and France. It is hoped that the aviation industry of China and France will continue to work together to contribute to the pragmatic cooperation between China and France and write a new chapter in aviation cooperation."Chinese Ambassador to France Lu Shaye
In 2017, China Eastern Airlines invested 375 million euros in the Air France-KLM Group, holding 10% of the shares, becoming the second largest shareholder of Air France-KLM, and co-operating with Air France-KLM on four routes from Paris to Shanghai, Kunming, Wuhan, and Qingdao.
On July 27, 2017, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Eastern Airlines Holding(hereafter as CEA Holding) and Delta Air Lines entered into a conditional subscription agreement with Air France-KLM, respectively, to acquire 10% newly issued shares in the share capital of Air France-KLM after the completion of issuance of additional shares. CEA Holding entered into a marketing agreement with Air France-KLM to further strengthen the business partnership on the basis of good business relationship between the two parties.
On October 3, 2017, the trading of the fixed issuance of additional 10% shares to CEA Holding by Air France-KLM was completed in the Euronext. CEA Holding appointed Tang Bing, its Director and vice president as the director of Air France-KLM. According to the relevant requirements of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the daily businesses such as joint operation and service security between CEA Holding and Air France-KLM and its controlled subsidiaries constituted a related party transaction of the Company under the Rules Governing the Listing of Stocks on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Currently China Eastern is operating flights to 12 destinations in the European region, with 10 sales offices, and an established European marketing center in Paris. In 2018, the Shanghai – Paris route frequency has been increased from 3 flights per week(1998) to 2 flights daily, and the number of passengers increased from 30,000 per year initially to 360,000. On this basis, China Eastern Airlines opened the Kunming – Paris route with 3 weekly frequencies at the end of 2014, and the airline opened Qingdao – Paris route with 3 weekly frequencies as well in June this year.
In March 2017, the Chinese and French Civil Aviation Administrations signed a new agreement to increase the capacity between China and France from 50 flights per week to 126 flights in three years. This allows airlines to increase the possibility for airlines' deployment in other cities while ensuring the original capacity of first-tier cities.

Air China had previously spoken to increase the number of intercontinental routes in Shanghai. At present, related plans are still in progress. The newly-added direct cities of Nanjing has respective policies from local government to foster international passenger traffic. For the Nanchang and Wenzhou direct flights to Paris applied by China Eastern Airlines earlier, although unapproved, both airports are the operating bases of China Eastern Airlines. It's highly likely this new destinations will be approved in the coming years. In addition, China Eastern Airlines has alternately operated Wenzhou-Rome direct flights and Wenzhou-Pudong-Rome flight previously in the form of interim charter. Overall, the three places of newly-planned direct flights to Paris belong to the traditional sphere of influence of China Eastern Airlines.

KLM Signs 21 E195-E2 Confirmation Orders
Embraer and the Netherlands KLM Cityhopper signed 21 E195-E2 confirmation orders and 14 purchase rights. The 21 confirmed order aircraft will be purchased and leased by Airbus Industrial Leasing business partner Aircastle and ICBC Leasing. At this year's Paris Air Show, the agreement was announced in the form of 15 confirmation orders and 20 purchase rights letters of intent. If all purchase rights are converted to confirmation orders, the total value of the agreement will be $2.48 billion. It is confirmed that the 21 aircraft in the order will be leased from Aircastle and ICBC Leasing respectively, providing 11 and 10 E195-E2 aircraft to KLM.
"KLM's decision to add a further six aircraft to this order is a significant vote of confidence in our E2 programme", said John Slattery, President and CEO, Embraer Commercial Aviation. "Delivering 30% lower emissions when compared to KLM's current E190s, yet still providing a further 32 seats, the E195-E2 will simultaneously increase capacity for KLM at slot constrained Schiphol Airport, while also delivering huge reductions in emissions."John Slattery, President and CEO Embraer Commercial Aviation
"For KLM this aircraft is a significant part of our commitment to improving our environmental impact. Not only is the E195-E2 the most fuel efficient lowest emission aircraft in its class, it is also the quietest by a considerable margin – a huge benefit for both our communities and our passengers."Pieter Elbers, President and CEO of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
The economic and environmental performance of the aircraft makes the E195-E2 the ideal aircraft for growing KLM's European business and supporting their hub-and-spoke operation, complementing the mainline fleet. This is why Embraer nicknamed the jet – The Profit Hunter. KLM Cityhopper started the process of replacing its fleet of venerable Fokker aircraft for E-Jets in 2008, in order to enhance the existing network and to permit the efficient development of new routes. KLM Cityhopper's all Embraer fleet currently has 49 E-Jets, the largest E-Jet fleet in Europe – 32 E190s and 17 E175s.
KLM will use a 132-seat layout for the E195-E2 aircraft. Delivery will begin in the first quarter of 2021.
Embraer is the world leader in the manufacture of aircraft below 150 seats. At present, more than 100 customers worldwide operate the ERJ series and E-jet series aircraft of the Embraer industry.

Note- You can change this into a Banana Lava Cake by using 1 tsp of coconut flour instead of the cocoa powder and before cooking just drop the almond butter into the middle and heat up.. I used olive oil also as I had no coconut oil at home.. Play around with this recipe. Add choc chips for a treat, throw in berries etc. The possibilities are endless

The most difficult Grand Tour, say the cognoscenti, is the pink one. We agree, not that we've done it, but the heady combination of 50-degree temperature swings between stages, massive vertical and horizontal distances and unpredictable Italian - er - everything, is neatly summed up in our own Maglia Rosa enhanced by the Black Sheep cog and tricolore script.
All Black Sheep tees are made from fairly traded cotton. This means that the good people who grow it, pick it and package it for us are paid a decent wage. This is important to us, and we keep on top of it so we know we can look you in the eye and say we're doing our bit.
Our dyes and inks are also ethically sourced, closer to home than our cotton. The tees themselves are finished in Coalville, just up the road from where we live. Not because we're control freaks (though we are) but because we believe that keeping things local is a sound ecological idea.
You're slim, lithe, athletic and carrying minimum excess up the Alps or the road to the paper shop on a Sunday morning. You're a grimpeur, a climber, you eat the Stelvio for breakfast. Click here for measurements.
You're fast, heavily muscled, hitting 60km/h on the road or in your head as you roar past the 100m marker or the 30mph sign at the edge of the village. You're a sprinteur, and Les Champs Elysees are yours. Click here for measurements.
Our Ewes' tees are cut for women, not too slim and not too fat. Perfect, in fact, for the lady cyclist of today who is, well, not too slim and not too fat. Perfect. Click here for measurements.

Muppets Inc. invite you to watch the pilot production of its new series, Tales of the Tinkerdee!
This unaired pilot, produced by Jim Henson and Jerry Juhl, was shot in Atlanta in the summer of 1962. The pilot featured Kermit the Frog, Taminella Grinderfall and King Goshposh, characters who would all reappear a few years later in the Tales From Muppetland TV specials.
Other characters included Princess Gwendolinda, the Prime Minister, Charlie the Ogre, and the Palace Guard.
In the book Jim Henson: The Works, Jerry Juhl spoke of Kermit's role in the show:
Tinkerdee was a fairy tale kingdom and Kermit narrated the story in song. He had a lute, and you'd see him on little grassy knolls singing the narration we had written in the form of quatrains with god-awful puns and hideous rhymes, which he performed to very sweet, lilting music. That's how we made the transition from one scene to the next.
This pilot is held in the Museum of Television and Radio collection, and can be viewed by visiting either of the museum's locations in New York City or Los Angeles.
Another Tinkerdee pilot, The Land of Tinkerdee, was created in 1964.

Cosmetic Treatments
At Clinica Dental Sueca S.L., we appreciate that the appearance of your teeth can greatly affect the way you feel about yourself and we recognize the importance of a healthy and attractive smile. Whether you require simple whitening, or an entire smile makeover, we will do everything we can to advise you on the best way to achieve your desired result. Our Cosmetic services include;
- Tooth whitening
Tooth whitening is a process where the tooth discoloration is 'whitened' to a lighter shade. It removes the staining agent through chemical means. It is a safe procedure when carried out under professional supervision. Treatment results usually depend on the severity of the discoloration. Both vital (i.e. live) and non-vital teeth (e.g. tooth with root removed) can be bleached and may take several visits to complete. It is not effective on dental restorations such as amalgam fillings, metal or porcelain crowns, etc.
Teeth can discolour for various reasons. The dentist will recommend the most ideal method based on your oral condition after an in-office examination to establish the cause and nature of your tooth discoloration, as well as provide you with more information on the various types of whitening procedures available, duration & frequency of treatment.
- Cosmetic white fillings
Amalgam-free fillings (containing no mercury) are becoming more and more popular for cosmetic reasons.
Clinica Dental Sueca ffers a wide range of white mercury-free materials, each suitable in different circumstances to replace or as an alternative to old silver amalgam fillings. The material of choice would be discussed and explained to you by your dentist at your initial appointment.
- Ceramic crowns
A crown is a cap that is placed over a tooth and held in place by dental adhesive or cement.
Crowns are used for several reasons:
- as a protective cover for badly decayed teeth or fractured teeth
- as a permanent restoration for teeth with large fillings
- to correct minor problems in natural teeth like spacing and irregular shape or severe discolouration.
- Veneers
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted of tooth-coloured materials designed to cover the front side of teeth to improve the overall appearance of teeth. They are made of either thin plastic resin or porcelain and can be placed to:
- correct poorly formed or mildly mal-positioned teeth
- close gaps between teeth
- mask internal stains
- restore partially broken-down teeth
Tooth preparation is minimal and confined to the enamel structure. The veneer is bonded to the tooth structure with tooth-coloured resin cement. Several visits are necessary to complete treatment.
Patients should be aware that this is usually an irreversible process because it's necessary to remove a small amount of enamel from your teeth to accommodate the shell.

Look up early next week, and you will see the full moon at its closest in a generation.
A so-called "supermoon" will make its nearest possible approach to Earth at 6:27 a.m. EDT on Monday. Our lunar neighbor has not swung by this close since January 1948, according to NASA.
A "supermoon" occurs when the moon's elliptical orbit reaches its shorter end — a spot called the perigee — while also aligning with the sun and Earth. Astrologer Richard Nolle coined the term in 1979 to describe the moon at 90 percent of its closest approach to Earth. But the scientific community calls the phenomenon "perigee syzygy."
Compared to a full moon at its furthest point — its apogee — the "supermoon" will appear about 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter, depending on the amount of light pollution in your area.
"This [supermoon] is more a technicality than an intense scientific interest," MIT planetary scientist Richard Binzel said. "But anything that gets people interested to look up and notice the night sky and ponder the universe is a good thing."
Astrophysicists track the moon's orbit with remarkable precision, using lasers that reflect off its surface to measure its position down to a centimeter accuracy. They can also predict where the moon will be during its orbit for the next 10,000 years.
On average, the moon is approximately 240,000 miles away from the earth. At its furthest full moon in the last 300 years, the moon was 252,688 miles away. At its closest in the same time frame, it was 221,441 miles from the Earth, NASA stated.
Even though the upcoming supermoon will be physically closest at 6:27 a.m. EDT, it will appear biggest to the human eye when it is low on the horizon, after sunrise and after sunset. At those times, its appearance will also be marked by a red-orange hue because of reflecting light from the sun.
Jupiter's supersized gravity also influences our moon's course through space, and this weekend's mega display. That's why Ohio State University astrophysicist Paul Sutter is particularly excited.
"There's almost a dance happening," he said about the interplanetary movements.
The moon will not be this close to Earth again until 2034.

Begging is the painful consequences of the socio economic discrimination and the natural calamities of a country. Natural disaster or socio economic discrimination is widely prevalent in Bangladesh. As a result, a section of the people of Bangladesh is compelled to adapt begging as a means of bread earning. But whatever the reason a man becomes beggar, begging is such an occupation that lowers ones social status. Basically, begging as a means of maintaining life is treated as a hatred occupation in the society. It is essential to end such a situation for the sake of the development of a country. MSS with the financial assistance of Grameen Trust have taken initiative to employ beggars into productive profession diverting them from begging. This initiative is Project Dignity. This project has been developed based on experience of Sangrami Sadashya (Struggling Member) of Grameen Bank. Initially, MSS is agreed with Grameen Trust to provide support to 1000 beggars.
- To create an opportunity for beggars for an honorable livelihood
- To bring the beggars away from their disgraceful life
- To involve the beggars with appropriate profession which the like to do
- To bring the beggars in the mainstream of the development process.
- Mobilize/motivate beggars
- Provide essentials household commodities as per requirements
- Interest free credit support for initiate IGA
- Realization of installment as per agreed schedule with clients
- Follow up and monitoring to identify bottleneck

text: I've been thinking about this since some time and I'd like to know why don't you make one more partition with initrd which would have some needed modules and basic scripts for proper complete OpenMoko boot (for example: g_ether etc. - I don't know which modules are used in boot process - my FR didn't arrive yet). In this way with flashing kernel it will need to flash the initrd, too, but wont make problems when kernel modules are not upgraded on rootfs. Something simmilar is already used by other Linux distributions for not need to compile many modules as built-in in kernel. This initrd partition would be overmounted with rootfs by these basic scripts in boot process. This way it would not need to flash rootfs (and loose data there) in case of any upgrade problems. Please correct me if I'm wrong - it's just basic theoretical thinking - I didn't have FR in my hands yet nor I looked at the OpenMoko filesystem. With Regards, Tomasz Czapiewski

We're big fans of mood tracking here at Take This. It's a habit we encouraged thousands of Habitica users to take up last year, because knowing your moods is the first step in a journey to understanding and improving them. There are a lot of ways to keep track, including journals, apps and spreadsheets. But if you haven't already settled into a regular habit of mood tracking, this DIY mood tracker might be just what you need.
Walked in my sister room and saw this……. pic.twitter.com/O0JbvkaI1s
— Saint Pablo (@TheLifeOfKale) February 2, 2017
Shared by @TheLifeofKale on Twitter, this single page mood tracker effectively covers the whole year. A few moments' effort every day will give you an overview of your mood at a glance. And it would be right at home in your bullet journal, too — just start a new page, grid it off, and you're ready to go.
If you want to go deeper into mood tracking, it can be helpful to keep track of factors like exercise and sleep, too, and to check in more than once a day. But some information is vastly better than none, and there's a lot to be said for the simplicity of Kale's sister's tracker. With it, negative moods are just one more color in the picture you're creating. And if your mood is staying uniformly in the negative end of the color spectrum, that could be a good prompt to talk to someone.
Plus, there are lots of ways to customize it to meet your own needs. Lay the colors out on a traditional spectrum for an at-a-glance mood temperature check. Use a white board if you need a visual reminder to check in. Add an icon legend to track other factors. Try not to make it so overwhelming that you won't have the energy to fill it out on the bad days, but otherwise your creativity is the only limit.

ACV - Best Car Freshner ever
Apple Cider vinegar (ACV)bottle of Bragg's;- It opened in my car and soaked in the passenger carpet & seat. OMG!
It stunk so bad for 2 days.
HOWEVER, the 3rd day after it all evaporated.
My car didn't have any damp moldy smell from tropical rain, there were no cockroaches.
I think it killed everything and smelled new and fresh.
Good thing my interior is a light color & Cloth!
Now, I keep a spray bottle of
Hydrogen Peroxide mixed with a couple teaspoons of ACV & water
and a few drops of wintergreen to freshen my cloth car interior.
Works great.

It's okay to feel this way for now:
it feels like pain, it falls like rain,
but makes it right somehow.
Sometimes maybe life might hurt like hell;
the melancholy swallows you,
though in the end it's well.
Don't let the emptiness get to you:
everyone feels it now and then,
and every time it ends.
I fight the loneliness here tonight,
it pervades me without a cause;
but later I'll feel right.
The cold might permeate my soul,
today I'll thaw my body out;
someday I'll fill the hole.

British Property Award Winner 2017 & 2018
Dear Sir/Madam,
This letter is to express my satisfaction regarding an impeccable service I received from Akeel from Madison Brook International in Royal Victoria. First of all, let me know how difficult is finding a new house in London. I am sure we all know how disappointing can be sometimes and the possibilities to rent a decent house in London are just limited. We have been looking for a flat in Royal Victoria for 2-3 weeks now. When we stepped into Madison Brook International and met Akeel, we explained to him our situation and he offered himself to help us at the very first minute. We are so impressed of his excellent service as he has been a great listener, trying to understand our needs and being such a determined person to find us the best flat. Moreover, I will never forger his efforts! He was replying back to my emails promptly, suggesting different properties just to make us feel more comfortable and ensure us we will definitely find a suitable property(let me know that we didn't have much time to look for a property as we both have a very busy schedule), as well as staying late and waiting for us to go for a viewing. Please note that one day he offered himself and stayed till very late just to show us a property!! We are very pleased of Akeel service and he is such a great person. We are more than happy and satisfied we made a deal with him and rent a property through Madison Brook International. Once again, May I congratulate them and especially Akeel for being such a helpful friend in this hard-flat hunting job sometimes we have to go through in our life.
Thank you. "
Mr Konstantinos Kalonikidis (Tenant)
" I viewed a number of properties with Daniel from the Sales Department & find him to be honest, professional and extremely helpful. "
Miss Parisa Ebad (Landlady)
" We had excellent service from Madison Brook International during the rental of our house. Their valuation of the property was realistic, not inflated and they had many potential corporate tenants ready to view as soon as the house was on the market. We received good advice about offers and efficient and friendly service from all the staff throughout the process. We have now had our property under a fully managed service for 4 years and couldn't be happier. "
Mr & Mrs Linda Huxtable (Landlords)
" The service received was extremely thorough, personable & smooth, from start to finish. I would highly recommend the services of Madison Brook International"
Professor Lord Patel of Bradford OBE
" Managing my private portoflio of properties was becoming extremely frustrating..... until I stumbled across Madison Brook International. I find the staff extremely competent, well versed in their relevant departments and polite and friendly. Since passing my portfolio to Madison Brook International, I have freed up a great deal of time to be able to continue purchasing. "
Andrew Dyer - Sales Director
" I found a perfect investment property with Daniel Juttner, I have now returned home to China knowing the subsequent rental and property management is in safe hands. "
Paul Yang
" A friendly, pleasant & extremely professional experience. Estate Agents providing such sevices are hard to come by. "
Carol Margaret Guest
" We let a number of properties in the Docklands area. Following a frustrating and unsuccessful experience with another local agent we decided to give Madison Brook International a try. Within 24 hours they had energetically lined up several viewings resulting in a tenant being found within two days. The tenancy commenced only one week after we walked into Madison Brook International's offices. Adam and his team acted professionally throughout and we will certainly use them again in the future. If I had to pick fault in anything, it would be that the administration could have been swifter but that aside I am extremely happy. "
Linda & Russell Taylor
" I have let a number of properties through a number of agents and Madison Brook have been the best so far. They kept me informed and ensured that my property went to the best possible tenant. The whole process was hassle free. "What a breath of fresh air. "
Imran Ahmad
" I have been a landlord for many years, in that time Madison Brook International have always rented my properties in record time and the service has been exceptional. "
Ian Dunn
" Madison Brook International had my house under offer within a week of instruction, they dealt with the mortgage and solicitors and within 28 days we were exchanged, now just awaiting completion.

" My portfolio of property was managed by a large corporate agency, however over the years I found that I had extensive void periods. I decided to use Madison Brook International and I have to say I was greatly impressed. The properties that I have made available to them have been let quickly with little or no fuss. I would recommend their services strongly. "

Memorial videosThe Amber Dubois memorial video The Chelsea King memorial video
Carrie McGonigle won't go into detail about the last 90 minutes of her daughter's life, but from what convicted murderer and rapist
"I'm proud of the way she handled herself," she said. "She definitely was my daughter. I can say that much."
Tuesday evening, McGonigle held a short news conference standing on the spot where Gardner told her he had abducted 14-year-old Amber Dubois at 6:45 a.m. the morning of February 13, 2009.
The conversation with Gardner, in jail, came two days before Gardner was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the rape and murders of Amber and 17-year-old Chelsea King of Poway.
It was on Stanley Avenue, just east of North Broadway, about six-tenths of a mile north of Escondido High School and a couple blocks northwest of the route everyone had assumed Amber had taken on her way to school, where Gardner said he took her.
"My guess, and I can only guess, is that she continued from our house down the street to possibly stop at a friend's house to see if they wanted to walk with her," McGonigle said. "She had two or three friends on the street."
Gardner told McGonigle he had been driving north on Broadway, looking for girls, when he passed Stanley and saw Amber walking alone in an area where fences line both sides of the wide street and there are no houses nearby.
"He turned and stopped and threatened her. He said he had a gun or a knife and said get in my car or things will get a lot worse for you."
McGonigle said everyone saw the look of rage that Gardner briefly showed during his sentencing on Friday.
"I'm sure that's the look that Amber saw," she said. "He said she knew from the look in his eyes that he was serious and she got in the car."
Gardner said he then drove through Escondido and north through Valley Center before getting on State Route 76 and heading to Pala, a location he apparently picked at random.
McGonigle said she believes Gardner's description of the events. It never made sense to her that Amber could have been abducted near the high school. Two witnesses had said they were sure they had seen Amber walking close to the school that morning.
"It doesn't seem to be his M.O. to grab a girl in front of 2,000 parents and students so I tend to believe what he told me was true," she said. "He tends to like to attack girls who are by themselves, alone."
The route Gardner says he drove to Pala seems to discredit the results of two search dogs last summer. The dogs had been hired by McGonigle's mother, Sheila Welch, and their handlers at the time said the dogs had somehow tracked Amber's scent, six months after she had disappeared, from in front of the high school, up Interstate 15, and then east to Pala. In fact, if what Gardner says is true, he got to Pala from the opposite direction. Many in law enforcement had scoffed at the idea the dogs could have tracked Amber that far, that long after she had disappeared.
McGonigle said she wanted parents to be aware that danger lurks everywhere.
"Gardner is only one out of hundreds, thousands of sex offenders out there capable of doing what he did to Amber and Chelsea," she said.
"It can, and has happened, in any community."

I have not been impressed with the data supporting gene testing, so I was curious to speak with a specialist in this area to air my concerns.

text: Can the US still produce ``some fantastic reversal of fortune, some miraculous transfiguration'' for those who migrate to its shores? In answering this question, graceful English travel writer Raban (For Love and Money, 1989; Coasting, 1987, etc.) finds cockeyed optimism to be unexpectedly resilient in today's seemingly inhospitable American soil. Department from Liverpool, Raban stayed for several months in each of four locations: a sublet Manhattan apartment, a cabin in the woods in small-town Guntersville, Alabama, an apartment in a former Seattle hotel, and a boat in Key West, where the living was easy and the restraints few. Half the enjoyment in following this journey consists of Raban's witty, visceral reactions to his new surroundings. He growls about Macy's switch from its old thrifty middle-class clientele to a more upscale, debt-ridden one; worries that he is drifting toward more instinctive, less rational thinking in the Calvinist-dominated South; and fantasizes about writing a novel about Seattle while brooding that it now has ``the dangerous luster of a promised city.'' Too jaundiced to overlook the instances of violence, greed, and indifference in the Reagan-Bush era, he is also swept along by ``the continuous motion of life in the United States, the striving and becoming.'' And the characters he meets along the way-a Liberian hoping for his own travel agency, a Korean owner of an auto repair shop, an old friend who's taken to shipping drugs in Key West-vividly illustrate the still-seductive allure of a new life in the New World. No Whitmanesque sentimentality here, but a jaunty, perceptive, and remarkably assured report on the American Dream today.

Finding a Scottsdale REALTOR®
The Scottsdale Realtor that more people trust when they're house hunting is Justin Lombard and the "Casa Crew." If you're familiar with the Great Southwest, you know that "Casa" is Spanish for "home" – and Scottsdale homes are what we at Trust In Justin are all about. Whether its an investment property or a place to call home, you won't find a more knowledgeable group of Scottsdale Realtors than ours.
Right now conditions in the Scottsdale real estate market are favoring buyers – while these properties may never be priced as low as they were five to ten years ago, the value of most Scottsdale homes have leveled off and declined slightly. In addition, many of these homes have been on the market for some time.
There's nothing sinister or mysterious about the recent drop in Scottsdale real estate values – it's simply the basic law of supply and demand. Three years ago, the Scottsdale real estate market was practically on fire – builders couldn't keep up with the demand, resulting in a run-up in prices. Today, that demand has fallen, so there is actually a surplus of Scottsdale real estate on the market, which means now is a great time to buy.
Nonetheless, it's not a good idea to simply go out willy-nilly into the market looking for great deals. While there are deals to be had, Scottsdale realty laws and regulations can be complicated. That's why it's a good idea to have the right Scottsdale realty group on your side. Trust In Justin and the Casa Crew is the Scottsdale realtor with the experience and expertise you need in order to navigate these particular waters.
So, whether you are looking to put down roots in Scottsdale or you want to broaden your real estate portfolio, the Scottsdale realtor to have in your corner is Trust In Justin. Take a look at some of the client testimonials here on our site, and you'll understand why they chose the Casa Crew as their Scottsdale realtor.

When discussing anything from inauguration crowds to unemployment figures, President Trump loves to measure his presidency against that of his predecessor, Barack Obama. And comparing their first State of the Union addresses, Trump's was shorter in words (5,190 to Obama's 7,059) but took far longer deliver — Trump's speech ran for 80 minutes; Obama's 2010 speech clocked in at 66 minutes. Each included plenty of crafted applause lines: Obama paused 86 times for applause; Trump did so roughly 115 times.
In terms of thematic content, the addresses were starkly different, though Trump did borrow a key phrase from Obama's secretary of state and Trump's 2016 presidential opponent, Hillary Clinton.
But when processed using an online word-cloud app, Trump and Obama's State of the Union addresses look rather similar. Lots of "America" and "American" and "people" and "country" and "Congress" and "jobs."
For Trump's supporters, his address was "presidential." For his detractors, it was anything but.

Or – "It's Never About The Fighty-Fighty…"
The first issue of the relaunched Astro City helped to assuage any fear that I might have had about the book's return, by being a great story, a great Astro City story and a callback to the first issue of the original ongoing series. Can #2 keep up the winning streak? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
An interesting take.
A heart-breaking ending.
Call center flashbacks.
Seriously, a HEART-BREAKING ending.

Previously in Astro City: The Honor Guard are the greatest heroes of Astro City, and indeed, their world. Featuring the likes of Samaritan, The Gentleman, Winged Victory and Cleopatra, they are the first line of defense against any and all threats to humanity, always read to answer the call of heroism.
But, have you ever wondered where that call COMES from?
I had never wondered before this issue, but we open with a fascinating look into the world behind the heroes, as a young woman named Marella starts her first day on the job with "HumanaGlobal", ostensibly a customer service call centerrr…
Sorry, nearly threw up in my mouth a little. Ingrained response. Bygones… It turns out that, rather than the usual antics of phone customer service, Madella will actually be working the Honor Guard hotline, answering calls from the public about situations that might require super-heroic intervention. The utter, perfectly simplicity of this concept is mind-blowing, and the fact that I can't remember anyone really dealing with it in the past (for a while, Captain America had a hotline, but it was never really examined) reminds me again why Astro City is the premiere book for things you just never thought to ask before.
Madella bonds with her "pod" of co-workers, and they deal with the usual run of cranks, sillies and false alarms, but every once in a while, one of their co-workers identifies a genuine threat in need of the Honor Guard's attention. Busiek and Anderson thread the H.G. scenes in and out of the story, giving us glimpses of Beautie, The Gentlemen and the rest of the heroes in action against the quirky villains of this world (Lord Volcanus feels like long-lost Kirby Fantastic Four villain), all the while deepening the quiet drama of a young woman learning to love her job. The fact that they successfully make her story as interesting as the hero fighty-fighty is impressive, but the way that the cliffhanger sneaks up and punches you right in the gut is even more so. The ending makes me want to immediately read the next chapter of Madella's story, and even after my third read-through, I'm still emotionally affected by the power of the last page…
Nobody does it better than the Astro City team, and this issue is why. Debuting an interesting new hero (The Wolf-Spider, seen on the cover, gets a page or two inside, making me want to know what his deal is), taking an unexpected tack on the tropes of the nearly century-old superhero game, and making us CARE about Madella's life turn this issue into a treat, a filet mignon among the bologna sandwich crossover schmaggegis we've all grown tired of. Astro City #2 is the real deal, turning answering phone calls into effective and moving drama, while not skimping on the action and cool art, earning 5 out of 5 stars overall.

Limited edition of 99 & 25
Melt is one of a collection of limited edition archival inkjet prints published to celebrate a catalogue of truly remarkable and unique soundworks by Peter Gabriel. The original album cover idea came about when Storm introduced Peter to the work that Les Krims was doing with Polaroids. They began experimenting with hundreds of Polaroids, having fun squashing, squeezing and smearing the developing images, a technique later known as Krimsography. Peter Gabriel recalled, "There was a photographer called Les Krims, who discovered that if you take a Polaroid and you squash it you can get the colours to run. We used to go after them with different objects and burnt matches, and coins, and fingers, and all sorts of things and it was a lot of fun because you had to get the timing right, but you got some wonderful effects out of the distortions." The unsettling yet startling results were then re-photographed with B/W film, as Storm described, "The cover for the vinyl album was in black and white. This is the colour Polaroid from which it was taken, without further adornment. In later years we came to prefer it." The print delivers a real punch at 19" square; Gabriel returns our gaze as he melts in front of our eyes. Melt comprises two editions: a smaller print (the edition of 100) and a larger print (the edition of 25). Every print in this collection has been signed by Peter Gabriel himself.

Just How Does Community College Help You With Your Education?
Just how does community college help you with your education? There are a number of ways that it can do so. While some in the academic and even professional communities actually tend to look down on community college as being inferior to full-time colleges and universities, the simple truth is that the courses and professors at community colleges are just as high in quality, find some community college on the eastern shore in an example, with most being certified or accredited enough to transfer as credits to other institutions.
The fact that the academics are just as sound but the price is so much lower than other colleges and universities is a major appeal to many families and students. Any coursework knocked out at a community college means less expensive tuition as well as a reduction in overall student loan debt further down the road. Many students choose to work on core education requirements for two years at a community college before heading off to a campus with dorms for their actual bachelor's degree. Community college can at least even mean an associate's degree in many cases, which is quicker and cheaper than a bachelor's degree, but still opens more employment possibilities than just a high school diploma.
In many states, residents are automatically able to take advantage of grants or scholarships from the state government, just due to being citizens. In a lot of cities, the tuition of community college is less than these grants or scholarships, making the education free or no charge.
Working adults are one group of people that really take advantage of community colleges. Classes are not just held during the day on weekdays, but also in the evenings and on weekends. That means that parents and members of the workforce can have studies as their schedule permits. This can either be done to learn new skills, work towards new degrees, or just go back and finish or start the college education they never had following school.
Even students who go to four-year schools benefit from community colleges. Sometimes they can knock out certain credits during their summer breaks. In other cases, high school students get a few credits done before even going to a four-year school. Truly industrious students will sometimes take a night class or two at a community college just to save the tuition at their four-year campus. Shaving a semester or two off of their multi-year run can save tens of thousands in student loans.

Final Fatigue: Astroland's last go round.
My mom took me on the Enterprise when I was six. She was thrilled by the slow enterprise and had been looking out into the distance when she glanced back at me looking bummed. She apologized for the ride being so boring. To my (and maybe her) surprise I consoled her with the truth, I loved it. I had never seen anything from so high up, and the view of the ocean, beach, Coney Island and the city in the distance, it blew my mind in a quiet way.
That day was my first time on the rides at Astroland, and it's gone and to be honest, there's been so many things closed in this city in the short span of ten years (Empire Skate, the Roxy, CBGB's, Florent, Tonic, Vinyl, Wetlands, The Tunnel, The Brooklyn Jewish Hospital, Albee Square Mall, Gil Hodges Lanes; The Kenmore, Plaza, Metropolitan and Duffield movie theaters to name a few, that I have final fatigue.
So as far as Astroland goes, I'll never forget how much more exciting it was for my mother to watch me ride the rides, than the rides were themselves, especially now that she's gone. But like her and alot of other things, memories is all we got now, and the best we can do is hang on to and make the most of out of whatever emotions we got left.
Gowanus Lounge had this intensely anti-climatic video of the closing at Astroland, which demonstrates why memories are better than endings.
But don't worry the Cyclone and Wonder Wheel will be there next year.

September 2013 – Fesses of the Month
This month's featured fanny can be found high on the façade of the Galeries d'Anatomie Comparée et de Paléontologie, viewed from rue Buffon. It is a bronze sculpture, the work of Jules-Félix Coutan. Entitled Chasseurs d'aigles, it depicts three men who are perilously perched on a cliff and are fighting for their lives against an angry eagle. They have already shot its companion in the neck with an arrow and have stolen two of its chicks.
The position of one of the men, twisting and falling backward, gives us the opportunity to admire his handsome fesses. Follow the link below for a close-up view!

Dave is a killer musician and super great guy. I never pass up an oppurtunity to poke my head into his open counciling. One day I had a few minutes and grabbed my guitar and sat in on Dave's class and jammed a little. Now Dave is much more of a jazz player and he has many more tricks up his sleeve in this genre than myself. The idea he shared with me was using Dorian b2 over an altered 5 chord when resolving to a major 1 chord. I was like huh?? Then he elegantly explain to me why it worked because after trying this with him over a 2-5-1 vamp, I was sold!
Dorian b2 is the 2nd mode of Melodic Minor. I have tried this mode on occasion jamming over a minor 7th chord vamp, but it really didn't tickle my ear enough to persue it. Maybe a little more time with it let my ear except it but that is for future persuits. However, when used in the context I described above, it is very melodic. I encourage you to stop reading and go try it and hear how it sounds then come back and read on as I will explain how/why it works.
Back? Sounds nice doesn't it. Of course good phrazing and some heart and soul can make just about everything sounds good but it doesn't hurt to know why it works. So, let me explain... If you think about the extensions that can be added over a functioning 5 chord(b2/9, #2/9, b5 and #5), two of those will be represented in the Dorian b2 mode. Let's spell out an A Dorian b2 mode... A(1), Bb(b2),
C(b3), D(4), E(5), F#(maj6/13), G(b7). We have the b2(Bb) and the b3(C) which is the enharmonic equivilent of a #2/9(B#). Thats 2 of the 4 altered extension we could apply to our dominant chord. The cool thing is, the maj 6th in the Dorian b2 is the major 3rd of your 1 chord. This is why this mode is so melodic when applied this way!
So, grab a friend and vamp over a 2-5-1 lets say in the key of D. Em7/A7/Dmaj7. Over the A7 chord try Dorian b2. I gaurentee it will surprise you and put a smile on your face. In application you could just play Melodic Minor from the b7(G in this case) as Dorian b2 is the 2nd mode of Melodic Minor. As Dave described, it also implies a minor 4chord which once he mentioned it, I heard it right away. Very Cool!
This one is a little long winded but I wanted to give credit where credit is due! Check out Dave Hill!! Amazing musician!! Cheers!!

American Auto Glass Repair repairs minor stone chipped and cracked windshields without replacing the entire windshield has been our specialty in Bolingbrook, IL for a number of years. One of the best reasons for repairing a stone chipped windshield except for the pricetag is that the original seal and bond between the glass and the auto body is very hard to copy when the windshield needs to be replaced.

Avoiding total replacement by employing windshield repair is the best way to avoid any possible issues. Unfortunately some times the minor stone damage is worse than what our repair process can safely handle and total Auto Glass Replacement is the only option. It takes special urethane adhesives and primers, and special coaching in the simplest way to use these adhesives, and proper environmental conditions to duplicate the first factory bond and seal.

Maddie made up a new game this morning. She's been experimenting with liquid, lately. The day before yesterday we were sitting outside, and she took a big drink of water, and discovered that she could just hold it in her mouth, without swallowing. She then opened her mouth and let it run out. The next time, she took a big drink, and then leaned way over, and spit it as far as she could. Then we laughed. It became a giggling spitting game. Was super fun.
This morning she sees that she has some left over milk, and gets down from her chair to get a rag out of the clean laundry. Takes it into the kitchen, sticks it into her cup, the wrings it out onto the floor.
At first I was like "ack!" and then I thought "well, it's already on the floor, may as well let her figure out whatever she's trying to figure out."
She chose to finish her play by mopping up her little mess. So helpful is she!
"Mom. I made up a new tune, do you want to hear it?"
"Of course!"
He proceeds to blow and toot away.
"What do you call your tune? Does it have a name?"
"I call it Sound Mixer."
"Aaah, I see. It's a great tune!"
I'm thinkin' it might be time to upgrade our horn section. We have some great drums, cowbells, triangles, etc, but this is the only horn we have. It could be much better.
We had the making of a movie today, it's called "Dinosaur".
Maddie was getting in his way a bit, so I asked what he thought we could do to make it work for everyone.
"How about she plays down there, in the Jurassic, while I set up the Cretaceous over here?"
So we swapped places, and Maddie was perfectly happy to play at the other end of the table.
Yet another demonstration of great problem-solving skills.
Maddie went peepee on the potty today for the first time. She's been sitting on it from time to time, but actually went potty today. Hooray for Maddie!
She climbed about 4 feet up today on a bookshelf (thank goodness they're terribly heavy and stable, and she doesn't weigh much) to fetch Eric's ipod today. I have no idea how she knew it was up there, unless she saw him put it up there yesterday. Anyway, she climbed up to get it, and then was most annoyed when it stopped working because the battery was dead. (which explains why it was here, and not with dh). I put a little boombox in the kitchen, and she was most happy to hear music again.
No, I didn't let her drink the bottle of syrup, if you're wondering. But she does go for a shot from time to time.
