Dental implants are a preferable alternative to other restorations, like dental bridges, because they do not require consistent replacement over their lifetime. Implants also enhance the smile aesthetically and feel exactly like natural teeth.
Here are some of the main benefits associated with dental implants:
Reduce bone loss
Do not compromise or affect adjacent teeth
Create stability and balance in the jaw
Can be used to replace a single tooth or multiple teeth
Can be used to anchor partial or full dentures
How can Straumann ® dental implants help me?
Straumann ® dental implants differ from other brands in a variety of ways. Straumann ® has developed a unique technology that promotes faster healing and osseointegration (bone growth around the implant). These implants can also be of benefit for patients with problems related to bone density. Here are some of the main advantages associated with Straumann ® implants:
99% success rate in patients with an otherwise healthy mouth
Hi-tech implant surface, which vastly reduces healing time
More than 3 million implants successfully placed
30 years of clinical research and experience
Implant types suitable for reduced bone quality
What types of Straumann ® implants are available?
Straumann ® offers three main types of implants andeach type comes in a variety of sizes. Though many patients are suitable candidates for Straumann ® implants, different needs require different styles of implant. Here is a brief overview of the some different Straumann ® implants:
Straumann ® Standard Implants – These implants promote fast healing when placed through the gums and have the SLActive surface for quicker osseointegration.
Straumann ® Standard Plus Implants – These implants have been designed for semi-, trans-, and subgingival use in the anterior (front-facing) region of the mouth. They have the specialized SLActive surface and are designed for use where the teeth are most noticeable.
Straumann ® Tapered Effect Implants – These implants can be loaded immediately with a temporary prosthetic and have been developed specifically for early implantation.
How are Straumann ® dental implants placed?
Generally, Straumann ® implants require three dental visits. During the first visit, a plan will be constructed for the forthcoming procedures. To develop this plan, thorough examinations need to be performed, along with three-dimensional x-rays. These tools help your oral health professional to determine exactly where to place the implant to support the greatest possible benefit.
During the second visit, the implant is placed under local anesthetic. Your doctor makes an incision into gum tissue to expose the jawbone at the placement site. The Straumann ® implant is inserted into the bone by screwing or tapping.A cap is then placed on the top of the implant and the surgical site is sutured closed. In some methods, the implants can be placed directly through the gingival tissue, with no additional incisions needed.
After this visit, osseointegration occurs. This stabilizes the implant in the jawbone and usually takes 3-4 weeks, instead of many months with other types of implant. The third appointment is generally of shorter duration, where the custom-created dental crown or restoration is permanently placed. In certain cases, the restoration can be placed immediately with the implant on the second visit.
If you have any questions or concern about Straumann ® implants, please contact your oral health professional.
I had a great experience with Dr. Brar and her staff. I came in with a toothache and they were able to take care of me right away. They have a root canal specialist in their office which made it very convenient for me. I am a full time teacher on top of having 3 children so my time is very valuable to me. Because of my amazing experience with them, I also brought my two year old in for his very first dentist visit. They were great with him. I recommend this office to anyone looking for a professional and kind dental office.
David N.
I love this place. I've been a patient of Dr. Brar for over 14 years. She takes very good NO she takes excellent care of me. Always asks about my son and me. Never have I ever had a problem with the billing or anyone. They are all professional, courtesy and just lovely people.
Wouldn't go any where else !
Thank you AA Dentist Family.

Last Saturday I had a perfect egg sandwich at Masterpiece Deli and everyday since, I've been obsessed with trying to match it.
- Step 1- Pat of real butter in the pan (a little bit goes a long way)
- Step 2- Add some diced veggies or spinach (optional)
- Step 3- Two eggs (keep those yolks! nutrients people!)
- Step 4- Pop whole wheat roll/bread/English Muffin in the toaster
- Step 5- Flip eggs, add slivers of thinly sliced cheese (again a little goes a long way!)
- Step 6- Remove bun, top with eggs, and enjoy
If you're thinking- uh what? Eggs in butter with cheese? I don't think so. But use some real butter and full fat cheese, and the amounts you use are so small compared to the flavor it brings. And that fat will keep you full. I haven't been reaching for a mid-morning snack all week. I've been having huge salads with lunch and dinner so I'm not worried about getting my veggies.
Other obsession: homemade fruit on the bottom yogurt.
Just take a scoop of frozen fruit, top with plain/ Greek yogurt, and pack it up for later. The frozen fruit works well because it gets so juicy when it thaws.
This is one of those things that is so simple (and cheap if you buy a bulk bag of fruit and bulk tub of yogurt), I don't know why I've been buying the mini containers of it at the store. It's been my afternoon "sweet" this week.
Back to work, just wanted to show some of my repetitive but delicious eating habits when my schedule is busy!

YAY for this sandwich. YAY egg yolks, YAY cheese, YAY butter!!! That bread looks delish btw…I was going to have eggs for lunch but I might need to make them this way today!
PS that yogurt is inspired. I always thaw it separately first, but this makes tons of sense!

The FOUNDATION OF NEW EARTH is Purity, Honor, Integrity and Love
By Lisa Brown, 05/21/2016
Aloha beautiful light family!
Ahhh, the abundance of mis-perceptions of "how all is"…
There is a multitude of confusion and old beliefs everywhere "out there". Now, granted, each of our realities are our own, yet the more we BECOME THE UNIVERSE, there is no disputing how ENERGY WORKS…. what is transmitted in frequency, why certain realities collapse and the biggest confusion is HOW THE HIGHER/ALTERNATE DIMENSIONS of NEW Earth are….
All of our old unconscious programs created the Old Earth WE used to live on. We, as unconscious beings, fell to become amnesiac egoic and lack filled humans, to experience everything, so that we could REMEMBER, truly understand and RETURN TO PURITY and FULL CONSCIOUSNESS again.
Relationships, money, physical health and BEing In-Service, nothing like we thought…. Everything was distorted, for that was the purpose…..
As all comes to light again, we all begin to see… HOW EVERYTHING WORKS…. and it is all just Energy…. WE are just Energy maintaining a physical body vessel here…. and we are RETURNING to an existence forgotten and re-creating our realities according to our abilities to access these other dimensions. These dimensions already exist, so technically, we just vibrate/arrive in them. It's the meeting in the middle of a multitude of physical dimensions according to the vibrations that we physically hold and have access to from inside. Vast and unlimited is an understatement…..
Abundance, Wealth, Love and NEW Earth Existence…. these are simple and intricate at the same time….
IN every dimensional reality that we have access to thus far, all of these things still exist, just the purposes are very different….
Each one of us must go through a deconstruction of our old physical realities in order to rebuild all from the inside out. WE step into CREATOR roles, we hold PURE SOURCE LIGHT within our physical body structure, our physical body evolves in Crystalline and we emit pure Divine Essence Light, and the embodiment of our Divine Masculine means we stand all-powerful again…. We rebirth ourselves and we "grow up" (evolve) as Higher Self Aspects….. There is a process for everything….
The times we move into, mis-perceptions and desperation will create many judgments by others who do not yet understand, still function from the old consciousness….. WE cannot worry about this. Our JOB is to stand up and BE the Light, Speak the Truth and Show the Way by DOING it and BEing it…. with every fiber and particle of our being……
You will make others angry, as fear and panic emerge, as you go against the grain, disrupt the hold of the old… You will have to get okay with many things that you never thought you would. You will have to overcome your own mindsets and transcend all from within. You will have to learn (REMEMBER) how all truly is here….
Over the years many have waited for physical world wealth to shift to those who realize what occurred. They do not realize that it has already shifted and that funding has been being re-routed as each emerges in the higher realms to BE the change, to do the TRANSFORMATIONAL WORK, step up, make a difference and not compromise integrity anymore…
Abundance is a mindset, wealth and love are too…. If your mindset is distorted, your reality will be too. Everyone shall experience de-construction and re-construction in their programmed way, creating a new foundation "out there" by doing this from within….
The FOUNDATION OF NEW EARTH is pure, it's inner honor, inner integrity, inner love, inner light, inner consideration, inner respect, inner abundance that translates to NEW EARTH WEALTH as funds are continually diverted and re-allo cateddifferently across the dimensions in ways that the human cannot understand…..
Everything is truly unlimited as all ascend/return to consciousness again… physical world things are not the focus… the purpose they serve, what they support, how they are utilized, what all contributes to….. Where each comes from… This is what dictates one's experience here….
Relationships are built on Divinity, Openness, Communication, Mutual Respect, Kindness, Consideration and Unity of the Heart and Mind…. Working together in-service cohesively, contributing, reciprocating, sharing…. honesty…. No more game playing, no more lack, no more me me me, no more separation, no more greed….. Each supports, inspires and does their part…
When you focus on certain things as more important than what you are here to do, as a Light BEing, then you lose sight and something may be adjusted to get your attention again….. This helps us all re-focus ….
Here there is no attachment, dependence, cords or need… Here everything comes as a bonus, a gift to what we do/transmit/create/share… put out into the world…..
Where we hold back, we lack….
The more the collective lower realms go bizarre and collapse, the more desperate those collectives will get. This is important to understand. For desperation is the human's attempt to hold onto control and from a place of fear. Fear is of the unknown of awakening, ascension and consciousness…
Here there is nothing to fear, no safety mechanisms or protection is needed. Here those are perceptions of a closed heart and program driven mind…. One must intentionally open up to relax and realize when they have closed off, shut down, gone human….
As Ancient Elders, Guardians, WayShowers, Light Keepers and more, WE are here to re-educated according to the higher dimensional realms of consciousness…. for all who are ready to hear/see/experience now. For those who are not, we honor their need for their own experience to show them what they require to open their hearts & minds…
There is not one moment of this journey that is not exactly as it is meant to be… The difference is the conscious being gets to choose….
Open up loves, let go of those fears, let go of those distorted beliefs by recognizing them….. The abundance, gifts, magic, amazingness and brilliance awaits you to arrive…. Everything is up to you, what you put your focus, faith and you/your energy into….
Get ready….. HUGE is an understatement…. Every collapse yields a re-alignment that is as instant as you are open and ready for….
I love you and get ready to blow perceptions out of the water and let all be as it may. Each of us has HUGE THINGS TO DO and worrying about judgment is not one of them….
BEing a Galactic Star Light BEing and Advanced NEW Earth HUman is…. All is evolving and as multi-dimensional hybrids we merge every reality in the physical one through embodying higher light consciousness again.

Zsa Zsa Gabor is dead. Not the actress—though that's also true—but the experimental noise project by Stay Strange founder Sam Lopez, who recently performed his last show under the project's name. Yet realistically, Zsa Zsa Gabor was always anything that Lopez felt like doing at any point in time, subject to whatever musical whim had captured his interest. That often meant creating abrasive, difficult, pop-unfriendly sounds, but not exclusively.
Left Skull Bank, Lopez's final release under the Zsa Zsa Gabor name, is a broad showcase for the various influences and impulses that drive his music. Just the first two tracks alone offer a strong contrast between sounds. "Speaking of Glowing Embers" is a brief track performed on guitar, and it's melodic and beautiful, more of an ambient track than anything explicitly "noise" driven. Yet the next song, "Left Skull Bank I," is essentially a dark canvas splattered with distortion, screaming and ominous open space. These are both the work of the same artist, though they sound like they come from vastly different realms.
That's essentially how all of Left Skull Bank progresses. The album ping-pongs between intense moments of dissonance and brief exercises in beauty and grace. It's disorienting, but then again that's sort of the point of noise art: to bring listeners out of their comfort zone. That being said, it's an enjoyable experiment much of the time, revealing a new perspective to music—compositional or lack thereof—with each track change. "Left Skull Bank II" juxtaposes spoken word passages against abrasive strings, while "Entrance II" sounds like an oddly-tuned cello being plucked. There are demonic-sounding backward passages on "New East," sci-fi synth effects on "Left Skull Bank III," ambient waves on "Angel Hunt" and a strange blend of static and unidentifiable melodic sounds on "Untitled."
While Left Skull Bank is kind of all over the place, it all makes sense together in a peculiar sort of way that only noise recordings can. But music this free form also offers its own challenge, making it entirely understandable why Lopez would decide to retire the project. That is, if an artist's music truly can be anything, and it's already been seemingly everything, where is there left to go?

Restoration Starts With Demolition
90% of restoration starts with demolition. While we do our best to repair and reuse what is left after disaster strikes your property, we usually must implement some sort of demolition measures. We want to return your home or business to its pre-loss condition or better, and to do so, we must remove anything necessary to accomplish that goal.

Our disaster restoration is second to none; our professional demolition contractors will implement innovative and effective methods to begin the process of restoring your Irvine property.

We will be at your side the entire way, doing our best to complete the job as soon as possible.

Camelina seed contains approximately 30% oil. 20 to 30 lbs of Camelina seed will produce approximately one gallon of Camelina oil. Camelina has been much in the news of late, as a biofuels feedstock of strong promise, because of its position as one of the few "sustainable, affordable, reliable, available" feedstocks suitable for aviation biofuels.
Camelina (Camelina sativa (L)) is an old-world crop used primarily for oil. It can be grown under semi-arid conditions. Breeding efforts have resulted in very few improvements. It is a member of the Brassicaceae or mustard family and related to canola and cole crops. The seed is about 35% oil, and the oil is high in omega-3 fatty acid, which has been cited as having health benefits. Camelina meal can be fed to livestock, producing eggs and meat that are higher in omega-3 fatty acids. Interest in camelina is not only due to its high level of omega-3 fatty acids but because it is a renewable source of feedstock for biodiesel and advanced biofuels.
Camelina has a wide range of adaptability, fitting into many different cropping systems due to its short period of growth (70–90 days). Camelina seedlings can survive intense cold (into the teens) and can be planted before or after main cash crops in southern latitudes in either the spring or fall. Even though the crop has been grown for thousands of years, research related to production is limited and will develop as its value increases as a renewable energy crop. Many of the production practices being used are taken from related crops (mainly canola). In dry climates, camelina can be grown in fields lying fallow between other crops, allowing the fields to produce income and serving as a renewable energy and rotation crop.
Camelina can be established in narrow rows at low seeding rates. Shallow planting is best for small seed, and little is known about seedling diseases on camelina. At present no broadleaf weed herbicides are labeled for use on camelina. Therefore, it is essential to plant into a weed-free seedbed. The growth period of wild radish (Raphanus raphinustrum L.) may coincide with camelina production in Florida. Fields with a history of wild radish infestations should be avoided. Little is known about impacts of residual herbicides from other crops on camelina establishment. Currently, most university researchers working on camelina suggest that the same restrictions on residual herbicides for canola be followed for camelina. Likewise, it is suggested that camelina not be planted more than once every three years in the same field to prevent the spread of sclerotinia stem rot and other diseases common to the mustard family.
Seed yields of 1000 -1500 lbs per acre or more have been reported with N application rates of 60 - 90 lbs per acre. Soil tests should be followed for other nutrients. No nutritional trials have been conducted in Florida, and there may be no yield response to phosphorus and potassium when camelina is planted in rotation with well fertilized crops. Direct harvesting can be done with a grain combine when pods turn yellow. Like canola, reel speed is critical to keep shattering low during the harvest operation. Recommended moisture for seed storage is 8% to minimize damage and spoilage.

Daily Divine: Ordinary time.
Ordinary Time
The Catholics have two periods of time in their calendar called "ordinary time": two periods in the year when there is no feasting and no penance.
It's the time of everyday life, ordinary stuff: no big highs, no big lows.
If you're Catholic, you started ordinary time today yesterday. If you're not Catholic, or not Catholic anymore,, it's likely that after all the holdays we've just finished, your life also suddenly seeming more ordinary.
We're back in the groove, although f you're paying attention, you will notice that the groove we're in now is not the same groove we were in before.
These past few months have opened us up, helped us learn, given us experiences that have altered us completely, given us ways to identify what we care about and what is important to us as a whole .
Right now, these changes are subtle, like tiny flowers just beginning to open.
Ordinary time is a useful time to relax, get back to routine again, and in this very simple way of living life—of taking care of all the things and people you need to take care of—we are integration what we have learned.
Not in the intensive integration of working at it. But in the softer integration of letting it all move through you, as you inhabit your life in an everyday kind of way.
There is nothing ordinary about this time, or about you.
Much love,
P.S. Are you going to be part of The 33 Lessons?

In this week's portion, Moses is trying to connect with the new generation of Israelites. His stories of the incomparable miracles of the Exodus and Mt. Sinai grab their attention. "(H)as anything as grand as this ever happened, or has its like ever been known? Has any people heard the voice of a god speaking out of a fire, as you have, and survived? Or has any god ventured to go and take for himself one nation from the midst of another." (4:32-34) Now he can appeal in turn to intellect and emotion as he tries to ready them for their new lives in the Promised Land. He is trying to teach them how and why they should obey the Law. How: scrupulously, not adding to or subtracting from it. Why: If they obey, it will go well with them, and if they don't, it won't. We usually think of that as a basic carrot/stick, reward/punishment approach, and verses 4:26-28, when Moses calls heaven and earth to witness that the people will be utterly wiped out if they act wickedly and carve idols, certainly support that. But Abarbanel (15th century commentator) instead sees this as preventive medicine. That is, the doctor tells the patient, if you do thus-and-so, you will avoid illness; if you don't, you'll get sick and have to be subjected to medical treatment (not a happy prospect in Abarbanel's time). Just the facts.
Moses presents his own punishment (twice) as an object lesson and tells the people: I can't go over, but you will, and if you search, if you follow the Law, you will find the Lord. He then starts his recap of the Law with the Ten Commandments, a bit different from the version in Exodus 20, for example, including references appropriate for settlers in Canaan (e.g., the stranger in your settlements should also observe the Sabbath, and you shouldn't covet your neighbor's field).
What comes next is probably the most well-known text in our liturgy, the first paragraph of the Shema (6:4-9), which begins with "Shema Yisrael" ("Listen up. Israel!" "Pay attention!" "Yo!") and continues with commands to "love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might" and to teach the Law to the children down through the generations. My friend Stanley wrote me, "For the Bible, 'love' is action, not an emotion…'love' means fidelity. loyalty, faithful obedience… 'heart' is the seat of the intellect while it is the 'intestines' which are the seat of the emotions. For Maimonides, this love arises from intellectual conviction, but one's soul "is ever enraptured by it" (N. Leibowitz, Studies in Devarim, pp. 66-67). A powerful melding of rationality and passion.
This Shabbat, the first following Tisha B'Av, is known as Shabbat Nachamu (Comfort), after the beginning of the haftarah, Isaiah 40:1-26: "Nachamu, nachamu ami", a command to the prophets to comfort the people. There were three Haftarot of Rebuke, but there are seven Haftarot of Consolation. You can hurt someone quickly, but healing takes time (cf. seven days of shivah See also http://www.jtsa.edu/Conservative_Judaism/JTS_Torah_Commentary/Va-ethannan_5770.xml , which I cited last year)
Shabbat shalom,
Paying Attention — Carlee Newton
When a nosy fourth-grade student wanted the scoop on what another teacher and I were discussing in private, I decided it was time for an impromptu lesson in manners.
"Do you know what 'minding your own business' means?" I asked pointedly.
He didn't, but a student clear across the room shouted, "I do!"
Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder!
Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder …
I have recently been diagnosed with Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder (AAADD). This is how it goes …
I decide to wash the car, start toward the garage and notice the mail on the table.
OK, I'm going to wash the car…
BUT FIRST I'm going to go through the mail. Lay car keys down on desk. After discarding the junk mail, I notice the trash can is full. OK, I'll just put the bills on my desk….
BUT FIRST I'll take the trash out, but since I'm going to be near the mailbox, I'll address a few bills…. Yes, Now where is the checkbook? Oops… there's only one check left. Where did I put the extra checks? Oh, there's my empty plastic cup from last night on my desk. I'm going to look for those checks…
BUT FIRST I need to put the cup back in the kitchen. I head for the kitchen, look out the window, notice the flowers need a drink of water, I put the cup on the counter and there's my extra pair of glasses on the kitchen counter. What are they doing here? I'll just put them away…
BUT FIRST I need to water those plants. I head for the door and… Aaaagh! Someone left the TV remote in the wrong spot. Okay, I'll put the remote away and water the plants…
BUT FIRST I need to find those checks.
END OF DAY: car not washed, bills still unpaid, cup still in the sink, checkbook still has only one check left, lost my car keys; and, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm baffled because… I KNOW I WAS BUSY ALL DAY! I realize this condition is serious…
I'd get help…
I think I'll check my e-mail!
Attention, This Is Your Captain Speaking.
Occasionally, airline attendants make an effort to make the "in-flight safety lecture" a bit more entertaining. Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported: [selected]
· "There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane…"
· "Smoking in the lavatories is prohibited. Any person caught smoking in the lavatories will be asked to leave the plane immediately."
· Pilot: "Folks, we have reached our cruising altitude now, so I am going to switch the seat belt sign off. Feel free to move about as you wish, but please stay inside the plane till we land… it's a bit cold outside, and if you walk on the wings it affects the flight pattern."
· And, after landing: "Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride."
· As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Washington National, a lone voice comes over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella, WHOA!"
· "Should the cabin lose pressure, oxygen masks will drop from the overhead area. Please place the bag over your own mouth and nose before assisting children or adults acting like children."
· "As you exit the plane, please make sure to sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses."
· "Last one off the plane must clean it."
· From a Southwest Airlines employee…. "Welcome aboard Southwest Flight XXX to YYY. To operate your seatbelt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seatbelt, and if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised. In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with two small children, decide now which one you love more.
· "Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but they'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you, or your money, more than Southwest Airlines."
Quotations about Teachers
I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework. ~Lily Tomlin as "Edith Ann"
If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn't want to be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them all with professional excellence for nine months, then he might have some conception of the classroom teacher's job. ~Donald D. Quinn
A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary. ~Thomas Carruthers
Good teachers are costly, but bad teachers cost more. ~Bob Talbert
Feeling somewhat punchy after taking a week-long Patent Bar prep course in 2002, I decided to re-write the Ten Commandments in patent claim language. Below are the first 9 (which cover only the actual 1 and 2) out of 33.
The Ten Commandments in the Style of Patent Claims
I command:
1. A process by which you shall accept that I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, the house of bondage.
2. A process by which you shall have no other gods besides Me.
3. The process of commandment 2, wherein you shall not make for yourself a sculptured image, or any likeness of an extant object or being.
4. The process of commandment 3, wherein said likeness is of an object that is in the heavens above.
5. The process of commandment 3, wherein said likeness is of an object that is on the earth below.
6. The process of commandment 3, wherein said likeness is of an object that is in the waters under the earth.
7. The process of commandment 3, wherein you shall not bow down to said sculptured images or likenesses or serve them.
8. The process of commandment 7, comprising the additional step wherein I the Lord your God, an impassioned God, visit the guilt of the parents upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generations of those who reject Me.
9. The process of commandment 8, comprising the additional step of showing kindness to the thousandth generation of those who love Me and keep My commandments.
An attorney who saw the whole set wrote back with some technical editing (e.g., "Slave – unpatentable subject matter"). To which I responded, "Thank you for the suggestions. I will convey them to the Inventor." IGP

Fading Puppy Syndrome
When you have a newborn healthy litter of puppies born, and then start losing puppies – it really sucks and hits your emotions really hard. It makes you question many things like "what am I doing wrong?" "why am I losing these puppies?"
Fading puppy syndrome can mean quite a few different things, but generally, it means when you have puppies that are born and they appear to be perfectly healthy upon arrival but then they start fading away and dying within the first few days or even couple weeks of being born.
You have a healthy, beautiful litter of new puppies just born, it is so beautiful to watch them crawl to mommas body and start sucking milk, even when sometimes they do need help learning how to get milk because this is important to the survival of the puppies, making sure they get milk quickly and the colostrum . The puppies are born, momma is doing good, the job is done, right? Sadly, not always. But this is just part of it. Losing puppies can just be part of it – typically they do best without us interacting and interfering with them, however, sometimes we can do things to help and make sure the mom as well as the puppies get stronger, thrive and grow.
So, you have this beautiful litter of puppies born, sometimes you have one or two born that were just simply not meant to be or had problems that we as humans cannot see, nothing we can do about it, they will pass away fairly quickly. However, the others that seem to be doing well on arrival still might need your help to make it. Fading puppy syndrome happens to all breeders from time to time, typically it happens more often in "toy" breeds. These puppies are usually perfectly healthy acting with no problems, but then start to get weak and fade. But what can we do?
Sometimes puppies can get pneumonia from possibly getting milk in the lungs or other fluids from being born, most will say to start the puppies on some form of amoxicillin and to tube feed that and milk as needed. Puppies just starting to die when all else seems fine can really be heartbreaking, but is a fact of life for a breeder, but as a breeder, it is our/your job to improve, learn, and not give up hope.
These puppies also that "fade" can simply be dehydrated from not getting quite enough to eat or very little. You can check them just like you would of a human or grown dog, but slightly pinching the skin between two fingers and easily pulling back on the skin, if it slowly goes back down then there is a form to dehydration. When puppies start to fade, or even with other animals I have learned that the swallowing reflex is one of the first things to really stop working when a puppies body starts to shut down and they can very easily and quickly become dehydrated. Many times we see a puppy get behind the mom when she is laying down feeding the others, or it is off and not eating, normally we would pick up the puppy and put the puppy back by a nipple and assist the puppy into starting to eat again and make sure the puppy is eating. What we need to do when we see something like this though is check the puppies for dehydration. Also, make sure the puppy stays warm is VERY important. Actually, if you feel inside the puppies mouth and it is cold, that means the puppy has not recently eaten and needs to do so very soon.

In the back of our mind during outings over the past week has been the thought that we might see the season's first White-throated Sparrow. For us, along with the arrival of the Dark-eyed Junco, this small bird marks the passing of the season and the certain coming of winter. During breeding, they are found further north in either coniferous or deciduous forests up to tree line in the U.S. and across Canada. During migration and during the winter months central Ohio is just one location they call home.
Recently, walking along the Scioto River looking for White-throated Sparrows, and perhaps a stray kinglet or two, we stumbled across some slightly larger birds.
At river's edge, almost right below the eagles, a young male White-tail deer relaxed. It was apparently not too concerned about the eagles.
The next day, hoping for additional photos of the eagles that were now nowhere to be found, Golden-crowned Kinglets seemed to be everywhere . . .
. . . along with a few of their close associates with the exception of "the sparrow".
Wanting to check out a location not previously explored, we decided on Shale Hollow Park, one of Delaware County's preservation parks. Blustery cold conditions made birding less than optimal, so while birds eluded us we did find something quiet different and no less interesting, concretions. Probably some of the best examples we've seen in central Ohio. For us it was proof once again that one should always be open to the wonder of the day.
For those that are curious, "A concretion is a hard, compact mass of matter formed by the precipitation of mineral cement within the spaces between particles, and is found in sedimentary rock or soil. Concretions are often ovoid or spherical in shape. Concretions form within layers of sedimentary strata that have already been deposited. They usually form early in the burial history of the sediment, before the rest of the sediment is hardened into rock. This concretionary cement often makes the concretion harder and more resistant to weathering than the surrounding strata. Concretions have long been regarded as geological curiosities. Because of the variety of unusual shapes, sizes and compositions, concretions have in the past been interpreted to be dinosaur eggs, animal and plant fossils, extraterrestrial debris or human artifacts." (Wikipedia)
In addition to concretions, with the coming of wetter weather, there have been other things to appreciate.
Disclaimer: Fungi identifications represent our best effort.
It's often when least expected, near the end of a long hike, almost back to the car and too tired to care, that what we seek appears. Such was the case with the White-throated Sparrow.
Some may wonder what the big deal is. Why is seeing a sparrow so meaningful? For many who spend time in nature the answer is simple; seeing a white-throated Sparrow brings expression to a sense of connectedness to a world much bigger than ourselves. We usually first hear and then see the sparrow and for the time it sees fit we are in its presence. It in turn acknowledges us in its own unique way. This small, seemingly fragile, creature has travelled perhaps a thousand miles and during this brief fleeting moment we are part of each other's world. Next summer if we look, we will not find it. It will again be further north engaged in its own dance to the cycle of life. This wonder graces our lives with the appearance of the first spring wildflowers, the larger than life sound of spring peepers, the spring migration of the many too beautiful to imagine warblers, the sight and sound of a distant summer thunderstorm, the call of the loon on a northern lake, the color of leaves as a low autumn sun filters the branches, and the slow quiet descent of winter's first snowflakes.

With the amount of rain we've had recently it seemed like a great time to visit Clear Creek Metro Park to see what fungi might be making an appearance. The park is unique, located about fifty miles southeast of Columbus in an area where the last glaciers stopped their southward advance. It's 5,300 acres of woods, sandstone cliffs, ravines, and creeks are home to hemlocks, oaks, and hickory. As we left Columbus we were hoping to discover some things not seen closer to home.
It was still early when we arrived and everything was wet from a recent rain. The air was cool but the humidity was very high. Given these conditions, we were drenched in perspiration for most of our five mile hike, with glasses and viewfinders fogging up every time we attempted to take a photograph. On this particular day, it was the price of admission.
Interestingly, the first thing seen was lichen growing on the roof of a visitor information board not far from where we parked.
Leaving the lichen, we began a rather steep assent into the woods and immediately started seeing fungi. This continued throughout our hike of the Creekside Meadows, Fern, and Cemetery Ridge trails. Seeing so many unfamiliar fungi, the challenge soon became one of trying to figure out we were looking at.
As if all the fungi were not enough, wildflowers were also making their presence known.
. . . and while not flowers, pretty nonetheless.
Given that flowers and many other plants were in abundance, butterflies and moths were easy to spot.
While not our main objective, we did hear a lot of birds and even managed to see a few.
At the end of our hike, we were in awe of the things seen. Many were first's for us in Ohio. It had been a magical day.
Thanks for stopping by.

About Emizon
Formed in 2001, Emizon developed the first secure, managed, intruder dual-path alarm and CCTV communications monitoring service designed for broadband/IP networks.
With offices in the UK, The Netherlands, USA and Australia and a licensed partnership in Russia, Emizon technology enables users to embrace the benefits of IP networks. These provide improved functionality, flexibility and cost effectiveness. They can also enhance security far beyond the capabilities of traditional dual-path signalling and services.
With a worldwide installation figure approaching 20,000 installations, Emizon can connect to all major Alarm Software suppliers.
Emizon as a company is certified to ISO standard 9001.
Emizon TCD's conform to the highest Grade 4 EN signalling standards and supports monitoring of CCTV connectivity to BS8418 standard. Emizon has achieved EU certification EN50136-1 January 2012.
Emizon systems can be found installed with many major UK retailers, Universities, NHS Trusts and various Local Authorities.
Key Benefits
Save Money – Emizon offers substantial financial savings when compared to equivalent legacy signalling services. No need for dedicated PSTN fixed line alarm signalling and associated call charges.
Greater Security – Dual path monitoring provides the most secure and reliable signalling available today. Uses your existing broadband connection for an 'always-on' link between your alarm system and monitoring centre and provides total security because broadband connections are constantly monitored.
Flexibility – Works with any broadband service, GPRS network and phone line.
Easy to deploy, cost-effective to manage – Emizon fits seamlessly into modern alarm panels. Enables your alarm company to manage and maintain your system without unnecessary call-outs and charges.
Fully Approved – Meets the exacting requirements of the security industry, insurance companies and police services. Emizon has been independently tested and passed for compliance with the highest Grade 4 EN signalling standards and the latest EU standards.
Telemetry Communications Device TCD
The only communications device you'll need. The same TCD can be used with Grade 2, 3 and 4 EN signalling and connects to the control panel via pins, serial connections or dial capture. With the option of monitoring in 3 combinations to ensure all signalling requirements are covered.
The TCD can be used with dynamic and static IP addressing and, because it uses TCP/IP outbound communications only, it does not interfere with the inbound firewall security settings. Any problems and our 24/7 technical desk is there to help.
The TCD establishes secure 'always on' IP connections to the Monitoring Centre using broadband/IP as the primary fixed or wired network, and GPRS as the secondary wireless path. Both paths are fully managed across the Emizon Service Platform. With the GPRS and PSTN option, GPRS is use as the primary and PSTN as the secondary path. Again both paths are managed across the Emizon Service Platform. Finally with the IP and PSTN option, the broadband/IP is the primary or wired network and PSTN the secondary path
Key Benefits

At TPC Racing we strive to design and produce products for those who demand the best in performance from their Porsche vehicles. Using our vast knowledge and experience on and off the track, we have designed the TPC Racing Adjustable Thrust Arm Bushing Kit, for the driver looking to get the most out of their car. FIND THE PERFECT SETUP TPC Racing Adjustable Thrust Arm Bushing Kits are the perfect answer for both a street driven car, the occasional track day car, or for any full race effort. The TPC Racing Adjustable Aluminum Thrust Arm Bushings are designed to replace the factory rubber bushings, which cause unwanted caster changes under acceleration and deceleration. Elimination of these rubber bushings results in more precise and consistent handling on both the road and track. TPC Racing Adjustable Thrust Arm Bushings also allow for a wide range of caster adjustment. Because the vehicle's suspension geometry and rate change as you accelerate and decelerate, it is essential to have enough adjustability and rigidity on the suspension to combat any negative handling characteristics the vehicle may exhibit. TPC Racing Adjustable Thrust Arm Bushing Kits are the best solution whether you are trying to achieve the perfect race setup or just increase everyday drivability. TPC Racing Adjustable Thrust Arm Bushing Kits are made from 100% aircraft grade material. Also TPC Racing is one of the only sources to offer you with 2 different sizes of Adjustable Thrust Arm Bushings.

Dub Elements
Friday 14th March 2014
Since storming onto the D&B music scene early 2009, Seville based duo Dub Elements have swiftly merited a reputable and solid name for themselves from the start: With their distinctly unique sound which boasts infectious bass hooks, compulsive beats and slices & bleeps, this bass-duo quickly caught the ears of certain big names of the scene such as Spor & Chris Renegade who helped = spread the gospel and gain support including "Vandals" in one of their massive Lifted Music Podcasts.
Shortly thereafter, Gareth, the boss & owner of the Dutch label Prspct snapped them up to release their "Bass up to the Tope EP" with a big hit called "Popim", prompting the band to embark on the Prspct Agency with a widely successful schedule of gigs under their belt, recruiting legions of hardcore fans across Europe underground scene with their formidable & energetic shows, securing them as one of the most sought after breakthrough acts in D&B scene, including appearances in festivals & clubs as Florida 135, Prspct XL, Dance Parade Rotterdam, Industrial Copera, Therapy Sessions, Row 14, Summer Festival, La Cova, Klubbers Day, Moun- tainBass, Razzmatazz, Viñarock, Sunny Day, Creamfields Andalucía...
Since then, the Spanish duo have managed to create a series of dance floor athems released by some of the most interesting labels around like Algorythm, Hardcore Beats, Lot49, Big Riddim y Plasmapool. Their latest EP "You Suck" was released on Rottum Recordings owned by Excision. At the same time they make music they run Resistance, their own promotion company, making sure Seville is on the map when acts like Feed Me, Pendulum, Dirtyphonics, Noisia and Chase&Status are in the country.

Ok, so in the video I am just speaking on the basis of my PCOS and challenging myself to make better and sound decisions on the supplements that I take, and the food that I eat. Food is always going to be a big issue for me, because PCOS is a food based illness, in my humble opinion. If I eat better my body will respond better to supplements.
A vicious cycle for me is always waiting to take my supplements until I am eating a clean or PCOS friendly diet. It's hard. I am almost never going to be able to eat clean or a 100% PCOS based diet. It's also not a good idea to jump head first into a PCOS based diet, it's better to just baby step it. Make gradual changes day by day. I ate Oatmeal Raisin cookies the other night, like 4 of them, and they were 130 calories a piece. Each! 😔😞😡😢
Those cookies were good though.
Am I disappointed? Of course. Is it a tragedy? No way. I kept myself from binge eating them again, but I am thinking about them. My fiance wants another tub of them tonight, and I'm like damn you. Temptation will be thick, but I know what my goal is. Besides overall female health, I want to be a friggin' Mom.
Got any tips? Drop me a comment below.

Mumbai, Aug 14 :
A benchmark index of Indian equities markets ended Thursday's trade 184.28 points or 0.71 percent up on anticipation of reforms expected to be announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his Independence Day address to the nation.
Nearly all the sectors were trading in green, except information technology (IT) and technology, entertainment and media (TECK).
Healthy buying was observed in banking, capital goods, metal, healthcare, oil and gas and consumer durables sectors.
The 30-scrip Sensitive Index (Sensex) of the S&P Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), which opened at 25,948.30 points, closed trade at 26,103.23 points, up 184.28 points or 0.71 percent from the previous day's close at 25,918.95 points.
The Sensex touched a high of 26,135 points and a low of 25,945.35 points in the trade so far.
"Markets rose by more than 0.5 percent on Thursday and by more than three percent for the week on the back of expectations of further reforms from the government and reduced concerns on the geo-political situation across the world," said Dipen Shah, head of private client group research, Kotak Securities.
"Quarterly results season was mixed with the domestic companies indicating that, the scenario on ground level will improve only gradually. Over the medium-to-long term, we expect incremental reform initiatives from the government to drive markets. Geo-political issues on the global front and progress of monsoons can be the near-term triggers."
The S&P BSE capital goods gained 251.31 points, metal index got augmented by 243.02 points, bank index increased by 184.23 points, consumer durables index inched up by 176.26 points, oil and gas index was up 152.32 points and healthcare index rose 144.72 points.
The information technology (IT) index was down 7.58 points and TECK index was lower by 2.67 points.
The wider 50-scrip Nifty of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) also closed the trade by making gains. It was up 52.15 points or 0.67 percent up at 7,791.70 points.
The major Sensex gainers were: Gail India, up 3.79 percent at Rs.426; Sesa Sterlite, up 2.80 percent at Rs.288.30; Tata Motors, up 2.53 percent at Rs.484.60; Tata Power, up 2.37 percent at Rs.90.70; and ONGC, up 2.03 percent at Rs.409.95.
The losers were: Hero MotoCorp, down 2.69 percent at Rs.2,510.95; HDFC, down 1.44 percent at Rs.1,124.50, Hindalco Inds, down 0.83 percent at Rs.178.50, Bharti Airtel, down 0.75 percent at Rs.365.55; and Hindustan Unilever, down 0.61 percent at Rs.714.05.
Among the Asian markets, Japan's Nikkei went up by 0.66 percent, however, Hong Kong's Hang Seng was 0.36 percent lower, China's Shanghai Composite Index, was down by 0.74 percent.
In Europe, London's FTSE 100 was up by 0.38 percent, Germany's DAX Index gained 0.10 percent and France's CAC 40 increased by 0.05 percent.
The Indian markets will remain closed for trading on Friday on account of Independence Day.

Tax is a crucial aspect to achieving the UN's sustainable development goals, giving governments a way to raise domestic revenue for basic services, the Tax Incentives in the Global South report said.
But tax incentives can also sometime have a negative impact, as they are more focused on profits for companies and some incentives are "never appropriate" if they lack scrutiny and oversight, it said.
Matti Kohonen, principal adviser at Christian Aid, one of the charities that produced the report, told PF International: "Tax incentives can be an important policy tool when aligned with economic development policies with a long-term mindset.
"They erode tax revenue, which is vitally needed to address concerns higher on the list of company concerns, including a stable economy and society, the rule of law and more skilled labour."
The report said governments should ensure any tax incentives granted are "specific and limited in scope and time". They should also be recorded in national budget expenditure, monitored and evaluated against their stated objectives, and withdrawn or revised accordingly.
It added that, by allowing transparent incentives, they will also be public for scrutiny and ensure they are still raising public revenue, rather than profit-driven.
"[The incentives] should also ensure that the incentive is likely to be efficient – mainly be cost based (rather than profit-based), and not given in full – resulting in net social gains, including being public revenue positive," the report said.
Many countries do not raise enough revenue to fund simple services, such as healthcare and education, the development organisations stressed.
In order to achieve the SDGs, new sources of finance need to be found, including through domestic tax revenue, especially corporate tax, it said.
The report by ActionAid UK, Christian Aid, Oxfam and the CBI business group said: "Developing countries tend to rely disproportionately on corporate income taxes as a source of revenue: whilst wealthier economies raise on average 8% of tax revenues from corporate income, the figure in developing countries is 16%.
"Therefore, corporate taxes (and corporate tax avoidance) are of much greater importance in the poorest parts of the world."
According to the International Monetary Fund, corporate tax avoidance could cost developing countries some $200bn annually, though there are estimates slightly higher by other organisations, the report found.
Both civil society and business stakeholders agree that the use of tax incentives should promote a better, fairer tax system that attracts inward investment, while promoting stronger revenue collection by governments in the Global South.
The report recommended that incentives are consistent with national economic policy, are underpinned by a transparent and clear legal process with democratic oversight and political scrutiny and are only granted following clear evidence-based economic, social and environmental impact assessments.
It also said that these incentives must be subject to ongoing monitoring and evaluation by the government and should be on a level playing field to all similar companies.

This project, prepared for the Town of Spencer, describes the steps taken and recommended by the group in order to preserve Spencer's rural character as growth occurs in central Massachusetts. It assessed the impact of affordable housing, cost of community services analysis, and a priority list of parcels which are the most important to protect against growth. Working from Spencer's Master Plan, literature, town meetings, and our own analysis of the Town of Spencer, the project group was able to lay out for the town administrators the steps needed in order to protect the town's rural image.

Description of the DUSOI - Wonca severity of illness instrument
Introduced to the Committee by George Parkerson Jr. in 1993 on the basis of the work of the Department of Community and Family Medicine, Duke University School of Medicine, USA, in development of the Duke Severity of Illness Checklist (DUSOI). The original DUSOI has been adapted under the name of Duke and World Organization of Family Doctors Severity of Illness Checklist (DUSOI/WONCA). Text and forms available in .pdf
The DUSOI/WONCA severity of illness instrument
by George Parkerson Jr., November 19, 2011
Introduced to the Committee by George Parkerson Jr. in 1993 on the basis of the work of the Department of Community and Family Medicine, Duke University School of Medicine, USA, in development of the Duke Severity of Illness Checklist (DUSOI). The original DUSOI has been adapted under the name of Duke and World Organization of Family Doctors Severity of Illness Checklist (DUSOI/WONCA).
Development of the DUSOI/WONCA
In 1993 the WONCA Classification Committee (WICC) began to develop a method to determine the severity of illness of health problems encountered in clinical practice. The committee conducted an international trial to test the Duke Severity of Illness Checklist (DUSOI), a validated severity measure based upon the clinical judgment of the health care provider.1,2 To use the DUSOI the provider rates the severity of each of the patient's health problems at the time of the patient visit. Severity is based along four severity parameters: symptom status, complications, prognosis during the next six months without treatment, and treatability, i.e., expected response to treatment.
The WICC trial, "Classification of Severity of Health Problems in Family/General Practice: an International Field Trial," published 1993 in Family Practice 3 tested the DUSOI for the first time in the international setting, and also developed and tested the Duke and World Organization of Family Doctors Severity of Illness Checklist (DUSOI/WONCA). Twenty-two family/general practitioners from nine countries (The Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, United States, Germany, Israel, and Japan) determined the severity of illness of 1191 patients with 2488 health problems in the primary care setting. Severity scores (scale= 0 for lowest, and 100 for highest severity) ranged from 17.1 for lipid disorders, to 53.2 for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The average severity score for all health problems was 39.1. The average time for completion of the scale was 1.9 minutes, and physicians found no difficulty in completing the scale in 71.1% of their patients. The authors of the trial suggested that the DUSOI/WONCA might offer a valid severity classification component to the International Classification for Primary Care (ICPC).
Instruments for measuring severity of illness
Measurement of severity of illness and comorbidity have become increasingly important in recent years because the quality and cost of health care have become prime medical and political issues. Most of the original severity measures were developed for use in the inpatient hospital setting using chart abstracts (Kaplan,4 Gonnella,5 and Horn6). Charlson7 emphasized the importance of physician clinical judgment in determining severity. In the primary care setting, Barsky8 measured severity of each diagnosis according to the amount of disease, prognostic threat to life, number of organs involved, disability, complications, and seriousness of treatment. Multiple ambulatory case-mix measures have been developed.9-13 None of these measures incorporates a direct assessment of severity based upon the clinical judgment of the patient's medical provider. In contrast, the DUSOI1,2 depends upon clinical judgment and can be used either by the patient's provider at the time of the visit, or independently by chart audit. More recently, the DUSOI has been combined with age, gender, and health-related quality of life measured by the Duke Health Profile (DUKE)2,14 to develop the Duke Case-Mix System (DUMIX).2,15
Use of the DUSOI/WONCA
The DUSOI/WONCA form is shown in the Figure. In the scoring example on the form for the health problem Gout, the patient's Symptom score was "3" because gout was causing "moderate" symptom severity; the Complication score was "1" because the presence of complications was "questionable;" the Prognosis score was "3" because there was "major" disability; and the Treatability score was "2" because the expected response to treatment was "good." These scores were derived using provider judgment from the Raw Scores table at the bottom of the form. The total of these "raw scores" was "9," which indicated an overall gout Severity score of "3," indicating high severity. This score was derived from the Severity Codes table, also at the bottom of the form.
Relationship between ICPC and the DUSOI/WONCA
One optional use of the DUSOI/WONCA, for providers who wish to indicate severity as part of the ICPC-2 classification, might be to add the DUSOI/WONCA severity code to the ICPC-2 classification code.16 In the example of Gout in the Figure, the ICPC-2 code T92 for gout would become T92:3, with the supplemental code "3" indicating high severity.
