Oxford Uni 'hackers' suspended
Snooping pair get rusticated
A pair of Oxford University students have been suspended over a little hacking project they undertook to "expose" security flaws in the University's IT system.
First-year students Patrick Foster and Roger Waite were able to snoop on traffic sent over the network - including email passwords sent in plain text, a contravention of University security policies - and unencrypted CCTV footage. They published an account of their activities in the Oxford Student paper in May 2004, suggesting that University IT systems were "wide open to hackers".
Systems were not "hacked" but "snooped on", according to University techies, who criticised the duo's reporting as inaccurate and "sensationalist". Oxford dons were also angry with the student hacks' actions and instigated disciplinary proceedings.
Last week Oxford's Court of Summary Jurisdiction suspended Foster, 20, from the university until May 2005. Waite, 21, was banned from university buildings and facilities (a process known as rustication) for a lesser period of one term. He's been suspended from the second year of his history course until January, the BBC reports.
Both undergraduates admitted the various charges (unauthorised access, violating users' privacy and wasting staff time) against them. Foster, a politics, philosophy and economics student, who has since become editor of Oxford Student, and Waite have both vowed to appeal their sentences. ®

What do I tell my son about Santa Claus?
Our youngest boy, Tim, will be turning twenty-three soon and we are worried that he may ask us whether or not there really is a Santa Claus. As Catholics, what do we say? We are disturbed by the increasing materialism of the Christmas season and worry on the one hand that our little boy will be swept up in current attitudes, the "Holiday Spirit," so called. On the other hand, we worry that our baby will be disillusioned if we tell him that there is no Santa Claus. He still cherishes the hope that he will Santa Claus coming down the chimney on Christmas night and waits by the fireplace every December 24th with a baseball bat and a pair of handcuffs. It's so cute to find him asleep there in his jammies on Christmas morning.
What should we do?
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Cratchet
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Crachet,
Not to worry, there is a third alternative. Somewhere between breaking the little tyke's heart and having him continue in a deluded state of ignorant innocence, there is another alternative. There is a certain danger in allowing him to believe in a large red-suited home invader who should have died years ago from clogged arteries. Eventually he will discover that he has been duped all along, and that goes for the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, the Appendix Elf and that whole crowd. At that point he will probably make the leap to "If my parents have been lying to me all these years about someone as important as Santa Claus, perhaps they have been lying to me about God!" The loss of innocence and parental trust can be a bit unsettling, especially for one of such tender years as is your son.
I am of the opinion that parents should never lie to their children. There are a few options. I love the story that Corrie ten Boom tells in her magnificent book, "The Hiding Place." When she was a little girl, perhaps 4 or 5, her father would often take her with him when he went to the big city to buy supplies for his watch repair business. One day, as the train rolled through the Dutch countryside, little Corrie, having heard older girls talking on the playground at school, asked her father, "Papa, what is sex?" Casper ten Boom, looked at little Corrie and silently turned to stare out the window again, leaving his daughter's question unanswered. When the train pulled into the station, Casper asked Corrie to pick up his tool bag. She did her best but couldn't budge the bag. Casper then said to her, "Corrie, there are some things too heavy for you to carry right now. When you are old enough, I will tell you what sex is. 'Til then, trust me." We can always tell our children that some things are too heavy to carry now and we will tell them later. Santa Claus is not one these things, despite his girth.
As I said, I am of the opinion that parents should never lie to their children. If little Timmy asks, "Is there is a Santa Claus," this is what I would tell him. "Yes, Timmy, there is a Santa Claus, but his real name is St. Nicholas and he doesn't live at the North Pole, he lives in heaven with God. He doesn't actually bring all the toys and those wonderful new pairs of sweat sox, but he was a very kind and generous bishop a long time ago, who gave gifts and helped little children. He inspires Mommy and Daddy to give gifts, and Jesus gives Mommy and Daddy the ability to give the gifts. All that stuff about elves and the North Pole is make believe, but make believe is all right and a lot of fun, if you know the truth, so you can just keep waiting for Santa by the chimney if you want to. It's great fun"
We tell our children the dandiest things like the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny and the boogey man in order to get them to do what we want. No wonder psychiatrists make a decent living. However, St. Nicholas and God are real. Perhaps you are among those who think that God is just an imaginary friend for grown-ups. I beg to differ. Jesus lived. We have more documentation about Jesus than we do for people like Julius Caesar and no one doubts that
Caesar existed. Further despite our modern pseudo-scientific skepticism, God who is unseen leaves His fingerprints everywhere. I just got a fascinating video on the latest new about the Shroud of Turin. I can hear you scientific types beginning to giggle and guffaw. Look at the issue scientifically. A flawed carbon test made on a medieval patch has convinced people who wanted to be convinced that this amazing relic is a fake. Well, read the latest. It is interesting to note that every time there is a new imaging technology, it seems that it is already built into the cloth. When Secundo Pia took a picture of the Shroud in 1898 using that relatively new-fangled technology of photography, lo and behold, the Shroud turned out to be a photographic negative. Then someone invented the VP-8 Image analyzer to interpret radio waves bouncing off distant objects. Lo and behold, when given a picture, any picture, of the Shroud, it produced a three dimensional image, something no photograph or painting had ever done. So the Shroud was shown to contain three dimensional information. Now, Dr. Petrus Soons and Dame Isabel Piczek — a Hungarian trained particle physicist, have shown that the Shroud contains holographic information. Dame Piczek says the image can only be compared to a singularity, an event horizon like a black hole!?! To believe that the thing is a medieval fraud or just an accident makes believing in Santa's elves seems reasonable. Or how about the appearance of the Blessed Mother in Zeitoun, Egypt?. Apparently she and a few angels stood on the roof of a Church in suburban Cairo a few nights a week for about three years in the 1960's. thousands came to gawk, even Egypt's president Gamal Abdul Nasser. (Just go to your computer and do a web search using the word "Zeitoun" Some of the websites start with the idea that such things are impossible and try to explain them away. I know people from Egypt whose families were present at the event. How about... I could go on and on. God who is bigger than the universe may be impossible to see, but He is certainly able to be known because 2000 years ago the invisible God became visible in the person of Jesus, the Jewish Messiah, and Mary who may well have wrapped Him in the Shroud when he died also wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger. He remains visible in so many, many ways. He certainly lived and lives still.
As for your little gem by the fireplace, I see no harm in his waiting by the fireplace to deck Santa with a baseball bat. Perhaps, by some miracle of grace, the Lord will allow the real St. Nicholas to descend from heaven and to appear in your living room. Timmy should watch out however. There is a legend that St. Nicholas punched Arius the heretic at Council of Nicea. I doubt that it's true, but these days one can't be too careful.
Merry Christmas, and God bless us everyone!
Rev. Know-it-all

Great story about Corrie ten Boom and her father.ReplyDelete
My parents were always straight-forward with me and my siblings about Santa Claus and St. Nick. We believed in Santa because he was real. He may have existed centuries ago, but he was real. This knowledge never inhibited our enjoyment of Christmas, except for the year my little brother (age 5) told our cousin (age 4) that Santa was dead. We still laugh at that story (over twenty years later), but he sure created a scandal when he told his interpretation of the truth about Santa Claus!
Touching on the Shroud, for a moment, I can remember many years ago now saying to the School Chaplain that - if the image was created by the event of the Resurrection, as it clearly was - then no amount of scientific testing would be of any use, as until scientists knew something about resurrection they couldn't draw any useful comparisons, given that this was the evidence of an unique event.ReplyDelete
Nice to know I wasn't so stupid after all !

I am not really sure what to write about Shipbreaker. I finished it about a week ago, but have been dawdling on writing the review, as an immediate tack to take failed to present itself. I thought about it. I tried telling my husband about it. And still, nothing. This is not the best sign.
Which is not to say that this is a bad book! I quite enjoyed it. It's young adult, I think. Or at least, all the main characters are nearing their teens, and it has the feel. But it's pretty dark for young adult, taking place in a post-global warming world, where oil supplies have failed, and city killer storms are frequent.
So, that is to say, it's a Bacigalupi world. He tends to write in this time period after the ice has melted, after the climate has shifted, when the world has run out of easy sources of energy. It is a less stark world than The Wind-Up Girl, which is certainly more adult in its consideration of these issues. But this is a good alternative for younger audiences.
In it, not far from what I think is supposed to be New Orleans (just referred to as Orleans), an industry has sprung up stripping old oil tankers of all their valuable elements. Children are used to crawl through passages and vents to strip out copper wiring. One of these is Nailer, whose father is abusive, but his working life is almost worse.
During one citykiller storm, the yacht of an extraordinarily rich young woman is wrecked, and Nailer and his friend Pima are the first to find it, scavenging a lucky strike until they find Nita, the very rich young lady, alive. Nailer decides to keep Nita alive, and to help reunite her with one of the warring factions of her father's company.
The divides between rich and poor are stark in this world, and neither Nita nor Nailer can really wrap their minds around the other half. Except that Nita has to, as Nailer and she try to evade his father's clutches, with the help of a "half-man," part tiger, dog, and something else. The story from this point is fairly straightforward, which is perhaps why I'm not more enthusiastic.
The world-building is fantastic, but the story seems too simplistic. Nothing that happened from that point on really surprised me or grabbed me. But Bacigalupi is an expert at creating this future world. I just think I like his more adult take on it, as hard as it was to hear about the travails of the eponymous character of The Wind-Up Girl.
But if you're looking for young adult science fiction, you certainly could do worse than this. It's well written, and the world is dark, but not too dark. And the characters are fun. The story feels predictable, but I guess you can't have everything.

(This is the 9th edition of my Alpha Course reaction. For the first and all past posts, see the Alpha Page.)
After last week's monster of a post, you'll be glad to hear that this week's will be shorter than usual. But first, a couple of semi-related things I'd meant to refer to in earlier posts but missed.
In the last post, I briefly discussed (due to the subject of "speaking in tongues," or glossolalia), the concept of left and right brain hemispheres, and how one controls language and the other is the emotional center. Sometimes the emotion, to convey it to others or even to express it for one's self, the language centers of one half of the brain need to be bypassed in order to "speak" directly to the emotional regions of the right-brain.
Well, here are a couple of absolutely fascinating videos which address this dual-brain dichotomy.
I Can Smell Your Spicy Brains!
The first is an excerpt from a show about the brain, and features Alan Alda interviewing a doctor and a patient who has had the connection allowing the two brains to communcate, severed. The results are fantastic:
There used to be a model of "understanding" the human, the personality, called dualism, that was the accepted and simply assumed model since Plato at least. Philosopher René Descartes did a lot of work on the subject, so we'll often hear it refered to as "Cartesian dualism." It's basically this: The brain and the mind are two separate and distinct entities. The mind is a result of the spirit, or animae, and operates with the influence of, but apart from the physical brain. Of course, this belief, utterly philosophical (and religious) and not based on any hard evidence, makes sense to those who believe in the soul, spirits, ghosts, etc.
The problem is, we know without a doubt that everything about the person, behavior, personality, wants and desires, fears and memory, are all derived from the physicality of the brain. We know this because the brain can be manipulated, whether from internal damage (disease, stroke, etc.), by injury, and by experimentation (surgery, drugs, focused magnetic resonance), and any changes can create marked and stark changes in the "person."

Laffer curve. The Laffer curve posits that tax revenue will first rise and then eventually fall as tax rates increase. This result is due to the effect that income tax has on the incentive to work.
As income tax initially rises, tax revenue increases. At T* the government have set the income tax rates that maximize tax revenue. After T*, any further increase in income tax means a lot of workers will quit their jobs because their after-tax wage is too low, they would rather go on benefits. Workers may also have an incentive to evade tax if it is too high. So tax revenue begins to fall. At a 100% rate of tax, nobody works so tax revenue is zero.
The Laffer curve suggests that governments may need to decrease tax rates to increase tax revenue.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT Expand
What will the cities of the future look like? And how must today's cities transform themselves to meet the future's demands? Answering those questions is the fascinating work of urban and regional planners. They promote the best use of a community's land and resources for residential, commercial, in ...
stitutional, and recreational purposes. They develop short-term and long-term plans to provide for the growth and renewal of all kinds of areas, from rural to urban.
Their expertise is used by government officials and citizens to make decisions about social, economic, and environmental issues. This is a field that requires preparation with college studies, often a graduate degree, and a knowledge base in a particular aspect of planning, such as architecture or agriculture.
Planners need to keep abreast of economic and legal issues involved in zoning codes and environmental regulations. They frequently attend evening and weekend meetings or public hearings with citizens' groups. They use computers to record and analyze information and to prepare reports.
Good oral and written communication skills are essential. It helps to be a good negotiator too, because one thing that's certain about the future is that people won't agree about what it should look like.

How Does Hydroelectric Power Work?
Hydroelectric power, also known as hydroelectric energy or simply hydroelectricity, supplies about 20% of the entire world's electricity needs – About 88% of the total electricity that is generated from renewable energy sources. In this article I'm going to explain how hydroelectric power plants work.
Where Does Hydroelectric Energy Come From?
Hydroelectric energy can be defined as a form of hydropower where the motion of running water (kinetic energy) is converted into electricity.
The water cycle is driven directly by solar energy. When the sun heats the water in the ocean, some of the water on the surface is vaporized. The water vapor rises and when it reaches higher layers of air and is cooled, the water falls down in the form of rain, hail or snow. The water flows in streams and rivers, finally reaching the sea where it again evaporates.
What is Hydroelectricity? Hydroelectric energy is potential energy that is converted to kinetic energy through the forces of gravitation, which again comes from solar energy, driving the water cycle around. To answer the question, hydroelectric energy is the result of heat energy from the sun and the gravitational forces from the earth.
How Hydroelectric Power Plants Work
By letting the water flow through turbines on their way to the sea, we can harness some of the kinetic energy of water to produce electricity. The flow and head determines the potential energy of a waterfall.
The head is the height difference between the water level in the inlet and outlet from the power plant. From the intake reservoir, the water flows down to the power station, and then into the turbine wheel.
Tidal Power
There are several ways to generate electricity other than the conventional hydroelectric power plant. Tide power is a form of hydroelectricity that looks very promising. The basic gist of how tide power works is this:
Tidal power is the result of the moon and the sun's gravitational influence on the ocean. Height differences between high and low tides create tidal currents in coastal areas, and these currents can be strong enough to drive turbines.
How Much Does Hydroelectric Power Cost?
The cost of hydroelectric power is dependent on a lot of factors. An important factor is that hydroelectric power requires no fuel. This results in almost no fluctuations in costs when costs of other energy sources such as oil and gas go up or down.
Hoover Dam, built in the 1930's, is located in the Black Canyon area of Colorado River. This facility is capable of generating 2,074MW and came with a price tag of $49 million.
These plants have long lives and don't require a lot of operators to function. Hydroelectric power plants are in most cases able to generate cheaper electricity than other alternatives. So why don't we just mass-produce these power plants across the globe? The answer is that suitable reservoirs are limited.
There is no doubt about that we need all the clean and renewable energy we can get. Harnessing hydroelectric energy and continuing to build out hydroelectric power plants is crucial.
The future of hydroelectric energy looks promising and will only get better as new methods to harness hydropower such as tidal power becomes commercially realizable.

On Bourdain, sweet peas and life's strange
On the second installment of One Million Stringbeans I tell you my feelings about who Anthony Bourdain was and why he counted. I also dedicate an orginal song, Life's Strange to him. I wrote the song in 1979 but didn't record it until 2015 with my pal and original drummer, Kerry Miller. It certainly seems appropriate.
The recipes from this episode features first of the season Summer Sweet Peas in two of my favorite childhood dishes; macaroni and peas and risi i pisi.
Music this week is from my Boston band SKIN, Terry Orlando's Kingston, NY band Hellkeeper and from my first band from New haven, Hot Bodies.

HomesHub have over 10 years' experience building quality homes across Merseyside and Cheshire. Whether you're a first-time buyer, a family or anyone looking to find a great home, HomesHub understand your needs. We care about finding the right home for you.
As our name suggests, HomesHub are more than just a housebuilder – we're your homebuilder.
What we do
Whether you're looking for your first home, a forever family home or a high-end apartment to rent close to the city centre, we're here to help you find the quality home you want, at a price you can afford.
For over a decade, HomesHub have been building beautiful homes in key areas like Liverpool and Cheshire that have bags of character, that are well-built, and that are close to key amenities that make our homes so desirable. In short, we make homes that our residents want to live in.
However, our job doesn't end with the delivery of high-quality homes – this is just the beginning. We want our residents to be happy in their HomesHub home from the very beginning, so we work with each and every person to find a way to make their dream home a reality.
Our years of experience has showed us that, for many people, buying your own home is the largest purchase you will ever make in your life, and one that many people can't afford all at once. That's where HomesHub is different from other homebuilders – we work in partnership with you to find the best way to make your home affordable for you, not just in the short-term, but the long-term too.
Giving Homeowners a Helping Hand
We have a number of schemes in place that will give you that extra little boost you need to get onto the property ladder, whatever your budget. If your finances don't quite stretch to cover the full value of your home, our Help to Buy: Equity Loan scheme allows you to apply for a 20% Government loan to bridge the gap, giving you extra breathing room through a lower deposit and lower monthly mortgage repayments to be able to afford the home you've always wanted.
If you need a bit more of a financial boost to get your foot onto the property ladder, we cater for that too! Our most popular scheme is Shared Ownership, which allows you to purchase shares in your home (between 25-75% of the value of your home), and pay a subsidised rent on the shares you don't own. This gives you the time and flexibility to buy more shares in your home as and when you can afford to.
Giving Renters Their Perfect Retreat
However, we realise that homeownership isn't for everyone. A lot of people may still dream of homeownership but are not in a financial position to buy their home – which is why we offer a scheme called Rent to Buy, which is allows you to rent your perfect HomesHub home at a subsidised rate until you can afford to buy it, whether outright or with one of our handy homeownership schemes.
And for those who simply don't want to own their own home, we have plenty of rental properties to choose from, whether you're looking for a charming family home or a fashionable city centre pad. What's more, by renting from HomesHub, you'll be safe in the knowledge that you're renting a high-end property that's been built to the highest of standards, and that you'll be paying a fair rent that never goes above current market values.
At HomesHub, we make sure we're with you every step of the way, from your first enquiry all the way through to getting the keys to your new home and beyond!

Carmanah Solar Flashing Beacons Improve School Zone Safety in Time for Back to School
VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA (September 15, 2010) – The City of Bethany, Oklahoma, is investing in 52 solar LED flashing beacons to improve the safety of the City's district school zones. The R829 dual-flashing amber LED solar traffic beacons, provided by solar technology provider Carmanah Technologies Corporation (TSX: CMH) and sold by local Carmanah distributor, Gades Sales Inc., represent a significant safety improvement for Bethany students returning to school this Fall. The R829 solar LED flashing beacons, which are designed specifically for school applications, will be employed to reduce vehicle speeds that are approaching the school zones from nearby residential areas. In the City's decision, a tight early-September installation deadline and the desire to limit traffic disruption within those affected residential areas were a few considerations that led to the obvious compatibility of the Carmanah solar solution.
The City of Bethany identified identical safety issues surrounding its schools, which were that the residential roadways that extended from the school to the urban areas did so without obvious distinction. Vehicle speeds dangerously exceed safe levels as traffic entered/exited the residential areas. The City's treatment of the school zones included erecting designated school zone speed signs with accompanying dual-head solar LED flashing beacons. Studies have shown that flashing beacons increase visibility of marked signage and reduce vehicle speeds by up to 5 to 7 miles per hour. Solar flashing beacons, such as the Carmanah R829 model, eliminate the need to wire or trench at the site which reduces traffic disruption and work crew time and costs. The time-to-install factor was an important one, as the City strived to have installation completed before students and traffic returned to school in September. As city officials comment, the City's need for a fast, effective solution was met by the Carmanah solar LED flashing solution. "We decided to implement the Carmanah solar LED flashing beacons due to their speed of installation and proven durability. They've been an easy, fast and economical solution and already proven their reliability in many other locations in the US. Therefore we were very receptive to using them in our school zone application as a result."
The City of Bethany is funding the new solar LED flashing beacons with money provided by the US Department of Energy EECBG (Energy Efficient and Conservation Block Grant) funded by the ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act), which invests in clean energy technologies that protect the environment and reduce dependence on foreign oil. Carmanah, which manufactures its products in Houston, Texas, complied with those Buy American provisions of the Recovery Act which the City required if the stipulations of the EECBG funding agreement were to be met.
According to Carmanah, the R829 solar LED flashing beacon is designed specifically for school zone applications and features wireless communication between beacons, an easy-to-use calendar program for activation, and maintenance-free operation for up to five years.

Israel Threatens Syria Intervention Over Chemical Weapons
Kurt Nimmo
Prison Planet.com
October 17, 2012
It is reminiscent of the excuse given to invade Iraq in 2003 – Israel will consider the "military option" in Syria to make sure its chemical weapons do not "reach the hands of extremists," according to the Times of Israel.
"Israel will do everything it takes to ensure Syria's chemical weapons do not fall into the hands of terrorist organizations – and if such a situation arises, then Israel will weigh a military option," Netanyahu told a group of European ambassadors in Jerusalem. He said Hezbollah has aided Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad.
In August, rebels supported by the CIA and MI6 and funded by Saudi Arabia and Qatar said they had seized Syrian weapons "that were converted to carry non-conventional warheads and which can be equipped with chemical or biological warheads."

I can also group Toyota fuel pumps into this part of the article. If you suspect a fuel pump problem with your Honda, please verify that you have power and ground to the fuel pump first before you replace it. If you don't have power and ground at the fuel pump and you don't have fuel pressure, the fuel pump is not your problem.
I mention this because a lot of people replace the fuel pump in a Honda and still have a problem. The truth is, Honda fuel pumps rarely go bad. In the 20 years I've been working on Hondas, I've replaced about four fuel pumps, and two of those were aftermarket. I'm not saying Honda fuel pumps are bulletproof, but they pretty much are. Hondas do have all kinds of problems with main relays, which supply the fuel pump with power. They also have issues with ignition switches going bad and not supplying power to the fuel pump or ignition system. My point is, if you have a fuel delivery problem on a Honda, don't replace the fuel pump first thing; check to see if the pump is getting power and ground first. Don't waste your time and money on a Honda fuel pump, especially if you're going to install an aftermarket unit. This is a step backward. If you do have a problem with a main relay you can often repair it. I show how in this video. Don't beat me up too much over my solder technique. I've heard plenty about it already.

Get it by relying on orthodontists' expertise, which comes from their extensive education. After graduating from dental school, orthodontists go on for another two or more years of education just in orthodontics at an accredited orthodontic residency program. Only after this formal education can one be called an orthodontist. Only orthodontists are accepted for membership in the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO). Selecting a member of the AAO for orthodontic care is the public's assurance that they are selecting an orthodontist.
Orthodontists are dedicated to helping your teeth and jaws work in union so that you can speak, bite and chew comfortably and effectively. There's a bonus. Teeth and jaws that work well tend to look good, too.
With care from an orthodontist, you have an expert who has been educated to understand how your teeth, your jaws and your facial muscles all work together. A healthy mouth contributes to your overall good health. Your appearance gets a boost, too.
You trust your heart to a cardiologist, your skin to a dermatologist, your knees to an orthopedist. Like these specialists who study their specialty areas after their general medical education, orthodontists devote additional years of study to orthodontics after they graduate from dental school. And like their medical counterparts, orthodontists limit their practices to their specialty area. Orthodontists have in-depth experience in orthodontic care. They use their knowledge and skills to help you get the best results possible.
Your bite is a complex biologic system. Its components include up to 32 teeth, upper and lower jaws, gums and facial muscles. Your healthy bite is the orthodontist's goal. The goal is met by making sure the separate elements are positioned for optimal performance. You enjoy the ability to bite, chew and speak well.
You may see six crooked front teeth. The orthodontist sees the cause of crooked teeth in three dimensions. Orthodontists use their education, experience and expertise to delve deep to discover the root of your orthodontic problem. Armed with a diagnosis that takes all factors into account, orthodontists can plan your solution—one that delivers a healthy, attractive smile and a lasting result.
There are a lot of treatment options these days, from clear aligners to modern braces. They each have their uses, but only an orthodontist has the specialized knowledge to identify and plan for all the variables in your mouth. Orthodontists take your unique needs and wishes into consideration, too, when recommending the right treatment option for you. Orthodontists have knowledge of the full range of orthodontic appliance "tools." They know what to use and when to use it because they work with these tools every day.
Sure, you want a dazzling smile. Your orthodontist wants that for you, too—and treatment results that last. You deserve the best—a good bite and a healthy, beautiful smile. Consult an AAO-member orthodontist for your life, your health, your happiness, your smile.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends all children get a check-up with an orthodontist no later than age 7. While your child's teeth may appear to be straight, there may actually be a problem that needs to be evaluated by an orthodontist.
An appointment should be scheduled if you recognize any problems such as; difficulty chewing, mouth breathing, speech difficulties, grinding or clenching of teeth, or thumb /finger sucking.
Many parents assume they must wait until a child has all of their permanent teeth before visiting the orthodontist, only to find that treatment would have been much easier if started earlier. Some orthodontic problems are easier to correct before jaw growth has slowed. The latest research shows that in some cases, guiding jaw growth may decrease a patient's need for more involved procedures later on.
"An examination by an orthodontist no later than age seven may be a real advantage," Dr. Palmer says. "Enough permanent teeth will be present for us to evaluate relationships developing between the teeth, jaws and face. If there seems to be any problems, we can discuss the appropriate time for that child to begin treatment."
The exam may simply result in a 'let's wait and see' while the face and jaws continue to grow, resulting in checkups every 3, 6 or 12 months. An early exam can certainly ease a parent's mind.
With summer approaching thoughts go to vacations and fun, not orthodontic exams and braces. To avoid missing school or sports we encourage parents to take advantage of summer vacation to have children evaluated for braces. The end of summer tends to fill quickly, so the earlier in summer the better.
If a child is developmentally ready for orthodontics, we would then schedule to take diagnostic records. Diagnostic records are to determine the best course of treatment and consist of 2 x-rays, photographs and models. Once we have records, a consultation appointment is scheduled to review a treatment plan, financial plans, and scheduling. This process could take between 4 and 6 weeks before braces are put on, that's why it is so important to take advantage of summer vacation.
Through an orthodontic evaluation, you'll be giving your child the best opportunity for a healthy, beautiful smile!

The rapid succession of the holidays is coming up rather quickly. It is that unique time when you can walk into a retail store and see Halloween candy, Thanksgiving items and the beginning of Christmas decorations popping up all around. In just a few short weeks, everyone will start to focus their attention on the holiday shopping list. Just for fun this year, place a star next to anything that you will be purchasing that requires some sort of assembly. I've done this in recent years and found that 33% of what I'm going to purchase for holiday gifts, needs some sort of product assembly! Will your list include any furniture, exercise equipment, large toys, BBQ grills, outdoor dining or pool furniture, fire pits, or gazebos? If so, think about the assembly of those items, after the wrapping paper and bow comes off of that wonderful gift. The receiver could be looking at 2 to 8 hours of assembly. They may also find some frustration in the fact that they may not have the proper tools to complete the assembly.
With having many children, I've seen some very thoughtful gift givers attach batteries to toys they have given my children, where it stated on the box "batteries not included". This was awesome as the kids could just open up the box, insert the batteries and enjoy the gift immediately. With this same line of thinking you should consider having the gift you purchase for that special someone, professionally assembled either before the holiday or after, right in the comfort of their own home!
National Assembly Services provides professional assembly services at retailers around the country, but we also provide the very personal touch…home assembly services! Are you planning on a new gas grill for Dad? If so, take it a step further and have it assembled right where Dad wants it with our professional grill assembly service. How about that desk and chair that you are planning to buy your teenage daughter? Have our in home assembly team assemble it, so she can start using it immediately. The gift will look so much better, fully assembled and in her space, than in a drab looking box that shows a picture of the assembled desk.
Getting back to the 33% of gifts that need to be assembled, I have a message for all of the retailers. One third of your customers can use this service! One in three of your customers will purchase something that requires some sort of assembly. If we go through any of your checkouts, we are asked about adding a warranty for protection of most items purchased. Why not consider offering assembly of those products as well? All retailers are looking for that great customer experience, where they shop your store not only for the product, but all of the solutions you provide as well for that product. Offering them everything they could possibly need for that product makes you the full service solution and keeps your customers coming back, year after year (hopefully…week after week!). On site assembly services are a great option for your customers and can very profitable for the retailer as well. National Assembly Services offers many options in the assembly market. We can assemble products in your stores and in your customer's homes. Reach out to us today for information about a program that would help you drive sales and win loyal customers!
