As we work through this list you might come to realize that I am partial to a particular style of Sauvignon Blanc that is light, bright and refreshing, in short. South Africa, with its cool growing season, tends to produce just such a style and Mulderbosch in particular suits my palate quite well.
Lean, focused and crisp in the mouth, Mulderbosch produces a Sauvignon Blanc that packs in plenty of ripe fruit flavors while remaining taut and notably nervous on the palate.

10 Sauvignon Blanc producers you need to know about
As we work through this list you might come to realize that I am partial to a particular style of Sauvignon Blanc that is light, bright and refreshing, in short. South Africa, with its cool growing season, tends to produce just such a style and Mulderbosch in particular suits my palate quite well.
Top 10 Sauvignon Blanc Producers
Mentioned in this article
I am glad you mentioned that your list is a personal one and I am sure you are going to need a thick skin releasing one, lol :) My first reaction on this list is that I agree with your choice for Paul Cotat and Didier Dagueneau, two of France's very best Sauvignon producers. Willing to take the risk that all American's will hate me I would never ever put a single American producer in a Top Ten Sauvignon list. Coming to my own speciality, Italian wines, I understand you mention the Quarz of Cantina Terlano. However, having tasted so many Friulian Sauvignons (e.g. Vie di Roman's 2009 Piere Sauvignon) I would never put a SB from Alto Adige/Sudtirol in a Top Ten list if it means leaving out one of Friuli. Dog Point is an excellent NZ producer and also an underdog ... my choice would be a NZ SB from St. Clair Family Estate (Block 11 Snap Block or the Wairau Reserve) or from Cloudy Bay (too famous?). The same goes for SA's Mulderbosch: a quite decent producer, though they stand in the shadow of Neil Ellis or Tokara. Then again, no South American or South African SB would make it into my Top Ten SBs. You are so right mentioning that there are so many different styles of SB in the world. To each his or her own ! :)
Interesting points Saffredi...I for one appreciate the diversity in a list like this. Also a big Neil Ellis fan here! Will have to try against the Mulderbosch.
Looking for diversity in other contexts can be a good thing. Here, when it comes to SB, I'd say in the list above only two would make my top dozen and two more might make my top two dozen. 85% *or more* of the best SBs I've had come from France (am curious why no SB-centric blend from the Graves made the list). CA might have one or two. NZ won't have any for a few more decades, since they just don't yet get it, at least as represented by their export labels. And IMHO, Cloudy Bay is far worse than Dog Point.
Welcome back D,
Good point about the absence of Graves, though all of these wines are less than $100.00, would be interesting to know the QPR superstar of Bordeaux white.
As I curate a portfolio of wines designed for everyday enthusiasts, not collectors, I was surprised by the lack of Kiwi SB's. There's a lot more than just Cloudy Bay coming out of Marlborough - I like Saffredi's point about St. Claire, but would also add Staete Landt to that list.
dmcker - NZ doesn't get it yet? Beg to differ. It's just a specific style emanating from the land. I prefer to appreciate it for what it is - not to encourage global producers to unify around our a single taste profile.
Viña Casas del Bosque, Sauvignon Blanc Reserva, valle de Casablanca, Chile.

In his first novel, local author, playwright and screenwriter Dale Botten offers a compelling story of adventure, romance and danger - one very ordinary man's desire for riches becomes a quest for redemption.
Botten has received accolades and awards for his original plays presented on area stages. "Hate Storm," his screen adaptation of "The Lynchings in Duluth" written by Michael Fedo, won the Catalina Film Festival Screenplay of Merit Award in 2015, and is currently entered in the Cannes Film Festival.
In "A Nice Relaxing Sea Cruise," Botten turns his creative muse to fiction.
When James Hudson III inherits his ancestor's mansion, he finds his imagination, most often in overdrive as it is, shanghaied by visions of a pirate's booty and swashbuckling adventure. But this flight of fancy is not without reason. Legend has it that his great, great, great-grandfather's house holds the secret to finding hidden treasure.
The first direct descendent to bear the exact moniker of the family's token pirate, the house and all its secrets now belong to James. He has only to find the oak chest containing grandfather's diary where the location of the treasure will be revealed - straightforward, in and out, easy enough.
Or so James thinks.
Perhaps it was a mistake to arrive at the 60 years empty house on Halloween with midnight fast approaching, and things that go bump in the night afoot. Perhaps James was still young and foolish enough to think that fortune comes without strings attached, not to mention one dead body and a few ghosts trapped in an afterlife holding pattern.
Perhaps James's biggest faux pas was in naively believing that in the 170 or so years since his great, great, great-grandfather's passing, there weren't others as intent on finding the legendary treasure, as is he. Or neglecting to consider these nefarious treasure hunters might be more suited to the cutthroat skullduggery necessary for such undertakings.
True to his roots as a playwright and award winning screenwriter, Botten's novel is a character-driven tale, exploring the relationships that motivate the action. In his protagonist, James Hudson III, he brings to life an affable if somewhat bumbling school teacher with a moral compass that points ever true - and a penchant for more than occasional wise-cracking. Unfortunately, James seems always to be a step behind the action, leaving him cold-cocked and hoodwinked more than once.
Swept along in the dangerous waters of high-seas piracy, James faces a series of life and death struggles, from his first night in the small coastal town where he goes looking for clues to the treasure, to the jungles of Peru where he finds more than he expected. Only his unwavering virtue, reliance on the Boy Scout rule, and his promise to right the wrongs of his great, great, great-grandfather, carry him through to the end.
A page turner full of action and surprises, peppered with a shaker full of shady ne'er-do wells, unexpected stalwarts, and a damsel in distress to bolster James's courage and stir the smoldering ashes of potential, forbidden love, "A Relaxing Sea Cruise" turns out to be anything but.
"A Relaxing Sea Cruise" is available locally at Globe News, Douglas County Historical Society, Barnes & Noble and Zenith Bookstore. Online outlets include Barnes & Noble, Amazon, iTunes, Google Books and eBay. Botten is planning a book launch at the Old Norshore Theater in late March or early May - details pending.

FC: The Schiele Museum of Natural History and the James H. Lynn Planetarium Does a Program Suffer from Outdated and Worn Exhibits?
1: Mission Statement: "To promote awareness and appreciation for nature, and to instill a sense of individual and social responsibility for the diversity of the natural world and the role of humanity in it." The Schiele Museum of Natural History and the James H. Lynn Planetarium are a one of kind facility in the greater Charlotte Area. Located in Gastonia, NC, This museum has been a mainstay for visitors for over 40 years.
2: I have visited several times and feel my analysis of their programming and its movement toward the future and planning for a digital world is a critique with objectivity that is related to my studies thus far.
3: The museum is two parts in structure (Planetarium and Museum) and deeper layers include permanent, specialty and living exhibits. The Planetarium is the only one of its kind in all of Charlotte and surrounding counties and boasts the actual night sky that has not been seen as a pure black with sparkling pinpoints of light for more than 100 years gets you a few light years closer.
5: The museum has several interesting if not aged exhibits. Situated in several halls, the collection spans Natural h Habitats, the Dawn of Earth and Man, conservation, NC Natural History,the American Indian and living and interactive outside exhibits. The programs are geared towards school groups for the most part that invite traditional, home school, and private schools.to participate in a myriad of programs. If you are not among those groups everything there is self-directed. If we take into consideration and I apologize for continuing to refer to Falk and Dierking's theory of Free=choice-Learning the aim of this museum's programming does not seem to focus on a visitor attraction plan based on any understanding of visitor identity outside of school groups.
6: If we are to base our evaluation of a museum program on the outcomes learned; regarding skills that defining mission-minded pedagogy, and the move to meet the challenges of a technological world, this museum falls a bit short. My criticism is more involved with presentations than the ideology as the exhibits are not interactive and it feels like a classroom lecture when the tours are taking place.
7: The education program for school aged children are age approbate and home school groups are welcome to be part of a traditional class, There is a teacher checklist that organizes a visit based on time frame and program requests and they do offer teacher workshops in the way of program renewal credit. However I could not find any offered at the time I was there or on their website.
9: My evaluation strikes first at the education presentation priority. I asked. does the museum live up to its Mission Statement? Are learners understanding the intent of the programming in a way that meet with the current interest of todays youth in mind? In a social environment that should be recognized in the context of what is current I think this museum could make some changes that would transform the experience of the visitorr in a positive and educational manner.
11: Priorities? Develop low=cost fundraising objectives Update exhibits Promote beyond the small tri-fold brochure at the door. Increase interest with advanced web technology Incorporate technology inside the museum audio, video, and interactive aspect to programs Increase adult programs Add community based programs like a Book Club or Moms Day Out.

Cubanelle peppers are a sweet, not hot, Italian frying pepper. Typically an oblong pepper varying in color from green to red depending on ripeness – all colors are equally edible. This pepper is a powerhouse full of manganese, potassium, and B6 but packs a whopping 200% of the recommended daily value of Vitamin C in just one chopped cup. Last year we featured the Cubanelle as a stuffed pepper. This year we'll take a more traditional approach with cooking the pepper via it's namesake – frying.
Fried Cubanelle Peppers
2+ Cubanelle peppers
1 clove of garlic per 2 peppers
enough oil to fry peppers in based on depth of pan and number of peppers
1/4 tsp cumin per 2 peppers
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Heat olive oil in pan, heat on medium high, add peppers once oil is hot enough to fry but not so hot as to incinerate
2. Add peppers to hot oil, flipping every 2 minutes or so.
3. When peppers blister slightly, add garlic to the hot oil and continue to fry for about 15 total minutes until golden brown
4. Season with cumin, salt, and pepper to taste
5. Serve immediately as a snack, dinner topping, or chill and stuff inside a sandwich for lunch tomorrow

These two are available.
First is Slideshow--the max width for any photo is 455 pixels (a theme limitation). The sample images are as large as they are allowed to be, given the theme that was chosen. A black frame is the only color available. We cannot change the theme, which is the overall presentation (i.e. fonts, positioning of columns, headers, footers, etc.)

Deskey CEO stays aloft with his private collection of Lindbergh memorabilia.
Some chief executives collect classic cars or motorcyles. Others favor rare coins or exotic stamps. Doug Studer, however, collects one man's dream, one pilot's vision.
Studer, chief executive officer of Deskey, a design and branding company, has spent years gathering any piece of memorabilia he can find relating to famed aviator Charles A. Lindbergh.
"I've been collecting since about 1990," relates Studer. "I've always been interested in antiques and the historical."
A private pilot himself, Studer also boasts a keen interest in aviation. "I sort of then put the two [interests] together."
He's amassed roughly 2,000 pieces of Lindbergh memorabilia, toys, signs and stuff, mostly related to the famous trans-Atlantic ...

Little Letters–Finished!!
14 comments:

Not sure what you mean by binding clips as there are various versions these days. I have some Clover Clips I use now, but I used to use the ones that look like metal hair clips. Nice and cheap at a discount store. :-)
- June 18, 2016 at 12:53 PM
- Katie said...
Oh! And love your little quilt. Fabulous border fabric. :-)
- June 18, 2016 at 12:54 PM
- Janice said...
Well done on a finish. It is a good feeling. What are you going to do if your dice rolls to number four from now on? Throw it again, or will you introduce another project into the mix? As far as binding clips, I have some metal hair clip type ones I've had for ages and just a few clover ones, ironically, they came from Katie Ina Christmas swap. They certainly hold things nice and firm. However, I don't use any when sewing down a binding, just a couple of pins in the corners when doing the mitres. It seems to work for me. Good luck with yours tonight.
- June 18, 2016 at 4:07 PM
- Jenny said...
Thanks ladies for your comments. And Janice - that is a good question about number 4. I will be adding a new project to my list, and I'm giving that some thought. One of my really old ones, I think.
- June 18, 2016 at 4:29 PM
- Razzle Dazzle Quilter said...
Nice finish. Better than pins and better than clips, I use fusible thread. Check it out on my blog
Easy peasy, I'd never go back to pins.
- June 18, 2016 at 7:23 PM
- Nancy J said...
Bright and beautiful, one down, 5 to go??? Clips, I see some of my Canadian and US friends use the Wonder Clips, shorter than the silver hair type, and they look really good. Wet here, bit cool, fire is lit.

- Tawa said...
I hope you got your quilting done last night, and are not trying to do it while watching the AB's play. I know I would definitely be stabbing myself at the moment. So, its a safe pastime of blog reading for me while waiting to see if Aaron Cruden is ok. Have a great week and Hi from PN.
- June 18, 2016 at 8:37 PM

Hello Jenny,
Oh so lovely and bright. Haven't used the clips, I have plenty of pins at hand.
Enjoy the weekend.
Happy days.

Love this quilt, Jenny!

Oh my! I do love these little letters quilt, and yours is so fun and colorful! You are right, perfect tummy time mat! That border is fantastic. So much movement. Is it pieced? I have some of the binding clips. I love them. I got the knock off Joann ones that are like the clover ones. They clip, like a spring loaded clothespin. They weren't cheap, but they were cheaper than the "real" ones, so they seemed like a bargain. Funny how that works. Anyway, they became a necessity after a binding pin came loose as I was binding on the couch one night, and ended up in hubby's posterior...hahaha have. Have a fabulous Saturday!

- nestki said...
Congratulations, Jenny! Rolling the dice is working for you! What a beautiful, colorful, cheerful quilt. One less UFO now. I do use the fancy clips and I like not getting stabbed. As I unclip each one from the binding, I clip it onto my sleeve until I need it again. I used to just hold the binding down with my fingers, but that created more tension in my hands, although it did work.

What a lovely little quilt - so colorful and happy, two of my favorite things!

Fakarava is the number two largest atoll in the French Polynesia (Rangiroa is the largest.) Fakarava is approximately one hour from Tahiti by plane, and 35 minutes from Rangiroa. Fakarava measures approximately 60 km in length and 25 km in width, forming a 1500 square km lagoon. The lagoon is rectangular, and the crown consists of several islands.
Fakarava has two main villages: Rotova, the village closest to the airport, is on the north east side of Fakarava. The other village, Tetamanu, is towards the south end of the atoll, was the village which used to be the main village.
This atoll, plus the six other nearby islands, is together called the Unesco Classified Nature Reserve. The reserve is a collection of islands that has their own ecosystem, filled with rare flora and fauna rarely seen in other parts of the world. Some examples are sea cicadas, the hunting king-fisher, and squills. Many of these species are considered so rare that they need preservation and protection.
Things to Do in Fakarava.

Digital Transformation: Transform… Or you will be left behind
Nothing is permanent, and businesses are certainly no exception to the rule. In fact, businesses often lead the charge when it comes to change. This is because if you don't move with the times you will be left behind by the rest of the pack, and you certainly will not be around for much longer after that. This is the point of free enterprise; it happened when the internal combustion engine prevailed over steam engines – or external combustion engines for all you geeks out there. The same thing also happened when the telegram was eclipsed by the telephone. Ahoy-Hoy! Businesses have to embrace change in order to remain successful or you will be punished. Today, this notion is as true as it has ever been, however the cause behind the change is a very different beast altogether as it no longer pertains to one single change; it is multifaceted.
So what is the cause of today's need for change? Information technology. I realise that this is a broad category, so let me whittle it down. I understand information technology has been around for decades now, however new ways of doing things are emerging every day. This is the crux of it, digital transformation is not about the fact that more and more individuals are using more and more technology, rather it pertains to the processes that result from higher levels of technology adoption.
A study conducted by Harvard Business Review and sponsored by Microsoft investigated how the four megatrends of cloud based technology, mobile technology, social media, and big data are affecting businesses. Harvard Business Review state, "the survey found among the areas where these technologies are having the biggest impact, five of the top six are top-line or customer-facing: improving customer service (53 per cent); increasing productivity (52 per cent); developing new services (50 per cent), business models (42 per cent), and products (41 per cent); and increasing revenues (40 per cent)." While the responses do not indicate overwhelming agreement, it illustrates that many are open to transforming their business in line with changes in digital technology.
There are of course those businesses that are apprehensive about adopting all four of the megatrends within their business, and rightly so. XCD HR has based its own product on the Salesforce cloud and are often asked questions about security and whether our clients' data is vulnerable to attack. If you want to be reassured about the level of security at each data centre, have a gander at one of my previous articles here, as well as Salesforce's own security webpage here. However, I will stress again that while you may not want to adopt all of these at once, it would be wise to begin to think about how you would adopt one or two of them. Big data may be the only one that many SME's will not need to utilise, unless the business relies on its utilisation in the first instance to drive revenue.
So to give you a head start, here are some questions you should be asking about your own business: What do people – in particular, your customers – value? How is this different from 10 or 20 years before? Is your business using the most effective operating model? How are we investing in improving the digital customer experience? How well do you know where the change is occurring? What new digital revenue streams are we creating? These are the sorts of questions that businesses who lead the charge with digital transformation ask.
So are you asking these questions?

We did it! We have grown again and have a larger facility to show for it.
Over the years that we have been in business, we have had the pleasure of working with many great Public Safety Agencies and Fleets across Canada.

Digging for Dollars
I loved your special issue regarding human exploration ("The New Age of Exploration," 12.12). Reading the stories about those unique people was very inspiring.
The biggest mistake people make when they ask the government to fund research is thinking that the research will be performed as they envision. Asking for government support is like making an unnecessary deal with the devil. History shows that our lives are improved when people are free to spend their money as they see fit. Anyone who wants real exploration to take place should call for the government to get out of the way.

Atomic Mission to Mars
In "5 Ways to Get to Mars" (12.12) Michael Behar left out Project Orion, a rocket powered by externally detonated nuclear bombs that was developed in the 1950s to fly to Saturn; it would have been able to take off from Earth's surface. The project was killed not by technical hurdles but by NASA politics and the nuclear test ban treaty of 1963. Maybe Orion was too radical for its time, but it nevertheless represents the only propulsion method that we could start developing tomorrow to get a sizable crew of explorers and their gear to Mars. What else are we going to do with our nuclear arsenal?

Bill Stone's Cave Quest
After I read "To Hell and Back" (12.12), I felt pride that our species could produce such a man - not that I would or could trade places with him. Bill Stone is a classic tragic hero.

Fishing Expedition
Re: "The New Atlantis" (12.12): Let's pretend we want to harvest some valuable materials right where they are emitted from Earth's crust. All we need to do is lure industry into spending billions on a deepwater habitat and mining systems.
Let's get real. We in the US neither allow mining to thrive nor develop replacement resources for those mined out, and you publish an article that says, "Hey, come on down to the ocean floor to do some mining!" I don't think you'll get any takers.

NASA's Next Steps
Burt Rutan says, "It's time for NASA to get out of manned space travel and concentrate on its core strength" ("After the X Prize," 12.12). Unfortunately, NASA's core strength is killing astronauts in batches of seven and keeping the door to space closed. The agency has attacked every private space transport venture in sight. It has destroyed the lives of astronauts as well as many entrepreneurs. NASA hasn't been to the moon in 30 years, has no capacity to create economic opportunity, and is simply a bunch of looters using public money to support middle-class clock-watchers. To paraphrase Cato, "NASA delenda est."

Road Sign of the Times
Several towns in my area feature some of the traffic ideas presented in "Roads Gone Wild" (12.12) - not by design, but by neglect. Unfortunately, the results are not as positive as one might imagine. People drive down the middle of roads without marked lanes. Intersections without signs or lights are arenas for games of chicken. Hand signals are used only after a traffic altercation.
It seems the article suggests we use a large retailer's parking lot as a model: cars and people sharing space and no clear rules about traffic flow. Who wants to drive through 20 miles of Wal-Mart parking lot to get home from work?

�Viva la Biotecnolog�a!
Thanks, Douglas Starr, for showing that Cuba works ("The Cuban Biotech Revolution," 12.12). The 40-year-old trade embargo against Cuba has done nothing but good for the Cubans. Like the US, Cuba has high literacy and low infant mortality rates, and, as Starr has reported, they even do pharma the right way! Instead of waiting on hordes of ugly Americans for tips, Cubans have sustained a society based on cooperation and equality, even in the shadow of the largest bully on the planet.
Jerry F. Lusa

Douglas Starr's article praises Castro and Cuba and denigrates the US. I guess Starr would rather live in a country with no freedom than be in the US. I hear about US-hating professors dominating college campuses; thank you for providing such a shining example of the malaise. Shame on you!

What's Wrong With Nerds
I take issue with Paul Graham's thesis (View, "Why Nerds Are Unpopular," 12.12). "A" was my only grade in any subject. My vocabulary was laced with three-syllable words, and the local librarian was a good friend. Yet I was popular. When I reached dating age, a guy would need to call me by Tuesday if he even hoped for a date on Saturday. I was brainy enough to dress like popular kids, to keep my vocabulary under wraps while with those who couldn't understand it, to study batting averages when courting a jock. It was a snap to figure out what people needed in order to like me. It was not a choice of either studying or partying. Smart kids can do both.
Shoshana Ginzburg
New York, New York
I'm surprised that someone who claims to value "being smart" as much as Paul Graham would want their name on something so thoroughly anecdotal. There is a deep well of psychological research on the subject of popularity and intelligence that the generalizations made in his article. I wonder if it occurred to him that so-called nerds see a correlation between being smart and being unpopular because it's the only way they have of accounting for no one liking them? Whether it's coming from artists, programmers, or kids in middle school, nothing rings quite so pathetically with the desire to be liked and appreciated as declaring you're disliked for your own superiority.

Down to Brass Attacks
Re: Wired Tools (12.12): Turntable reviews are fine. Vinyl versus CD comparisons … not exactly timely, but OK. But magical brass vibration dampers for my hi-fi? Please, get yourself a source of objective, skeptical commentary with a grounding in electrical engineering. Otherwise I may use your first "splurge" review of a $1,000 audio cable as stationary for a request to cancel my subscription. But aside from the audiophile pseudoscience, keep up the good work!
Tom Lee

• Polar opposites: Lake Vostok is in Antarctica, not Siberia ("NASA's Germbuster," 12.12).
• Over, Robin: The Batmobile and Communicator toys featured in Wired Tools (12.12) are made by Mattel.
• Copy that: "30 Under $30" (12.12) pictured the Grundig 300PE shortwave radio instead of the Mini 100PE.
• Factor this: "The Mathematics of Murphy's Law" (12.12.) misspelled the name of Phillip Obayda.

Over the last pair of decades, technological breakthroughs in the style and manufacture of prefabricated metal buildings have led to its standing nowadays – the top selection in the construction business. Currently, modern-day metal buildings can be created to assume every conceivable configuration and meet any conceivable function. Metal creating technology may well have improved, but what remains is the economy and practicality of creating with metal.
In the very first put, suppliers of metal buildings are mainly the types who also manufacture them. This implies, you are dealing with only 1 business, from the style and manufacture, and up to the transport approach. This gets rid of the require for acquiring to look for suppliers of other creating factors.
Also, this implies that the whole construction and all add-ons get there at the similar time. An extra ease is that you deal with just 1 provider in circumstance you have questions or difficulties in the course of or soon after construction.
Discounts in time and income is a supplied with prefab metal buildings. Given that all the factors are pre-engineered and assembled at the manufacturing unit, the true erection approach requires less manpower, and consequently, decreased labor expenses. Mainly because there is no more require for fitting, chopping, welding, and drilling, construction is quickly and effective in particular when you seek the services of expert construction firms who are common with metal creating ideas.
Dealing with growth is somewhat easy with metal buildings. The approach is as effortless as removing an endwall and corresponding roof panels and then replacing them soon after the new metal framing and wall have been extra. Very best of all, this extension will come at a really acceptable expense with small interruption to ordinary business functions.
Once again, considering that metal buildings are pre-engineered or prefabricated, it has been uncovered that 200 s-m metal framed residence, generates as little as 1 cubic meter of recyclable scrap metal in the course of construction. This time, you are truly providing your share in preserving the ecosystem.
Contemporary Employs of Metal Buildings:
For instance, metal church buildings, college buildings and other constructions in college or university campuses and universities can be made successfully with metal. Metal buildings are quickly and effortless to construct, producing them appealing to college boards and directors. Given that academic establishments are frequently burdened with budget constraints, creating with metal is a wiser option rather than turning to other regular styles of construction. Metal buildings are more affordable to construct and there is small disruption in the college pursuits and schedules simply because they acquire lesser time to erect.
In the business and industrial sectors, industrial metal buildings are also producing their presence felt. Just one individual instance is the vehicle profits business. This sector requires buildings with vast, open up spaces where by automobiles can be displayed, and with corresponding mezzanine floors to keep places of work as very well as storage of vehicle elements. Metal buildings offer you solutions to these needs simply because they give column-no cost spaces and substantial ceilings, where by mezzanine floors can be created.

Our jaws do more than chew, grind and tear our food. They also help us swallow and enable us to experience normal speech. And, they contribute to our basic oral health. But most of us take our jaws for granted.
Orthodontics dentists know that when jaws meet correctly and teeth are configured properly, it's called occlusion. When things don't fit, that's malocclusion. About two million Americans suffer from malocclusion. Tooth braces can help improve the effects of malocclusion and other orthodontic problems.
For 20% of us, jaw problems are a handicap. For 5% of us, malocclusion can be considered a physical and mental hardship. Tooth braces and orthodontics make it possible to eat, breathe, and communicate normally.
Tooth braces can literally affect the quality of life in the most fundamental ways and give you the smile you have always wanted.
A vast majority of adults and adolescents can be helped with Invisalign invisible braces treatment. Invisible braces are one of the cosmetic dentistry options that can work for your teeth!
Invisalign treats a wide variety of cosmetic dentistry cases, including crowding, space closure, narrow arches, relapse, anterior intrusion, and limited treatment cases.
Although only an Invisalign certified orthodontist in cosmetic dentistry can determine if invisible braces are right for you as adult braces, there's a quick way to tell if you might be a candidate. Call your orthodontist for an evaluation today.

Golden Cow Creamery was founded by North Carolina natives Alex and Liz Hannah as a way to share their love of real homemade ice cream with friends and help the community at the same time. After growing up outside Raleigh and attending college at Appalachian State University, Alex and Liz moved to Colorado and traveled the country for both fun and work, sampling delicious homemade ice cream along the way. After moving back to Charlotte it was immediately apparent what was missing; delicious, homemade ice cream. So after a lot of learning and help from friends, family, and the community we are proud to bring our passion for ice cream to you. Our flavors are inspired by North Carolina's diverse food culture as well as other fun and unique flavor's sourced from around the country and the world. We make all our ice cream by hand in small batches from scratch with real milk, cream, and sugar or coconut for our monthly rotating vegan option. You will not find any artificial syrups, bagged ice cream mix, stabilizers, filler, or food coloring here. We strive to use local ingredients wherever possible and support our local farmers when choosing flavors for our seasonal selections. For us it's not just about making delicious ice cream. Golden Cow Creamery is a socially conscious organization with a mission to support the growth and prosperity of our community. We are committed to supporting our community and to do so we created a charitable giving program we call The Queens Share. Through this program we give a portion of our monthly profits to various local charities monthly. Further, we are dedicated to building strength in our community by providing a positive and inclusive location for community members to gather while give back to those less fortunate.

Silent Herons. By Selfa Chew. Toshiya Kamei, translator. Yasmeen Namazie, editor. ISBN 978-1888205442. $24.95.
On December 7, 1941, a Japanese suicide squadron attacked Pearl Harbor, marking the beginning of the Pacific War against Japan in all fronts. After this event, the U.S. and its military engaged in an unforgiving and furious campaign against Japan, which reached Mexico and hundreds of Mexican citizens. This offensive took place gradually and systematically in the Mexican Republic. Japanese immigrants—and their (Mexican) descendants in Mexico—suffered, as in the United States, the consequences of World War II in various ignominious ways: some families were sent to concentration camps in Mexico City and Guadalajara, while others were destroyed by the selective detention of hundreds of men in the Perote Prison, the forced sale of their property, and deportation. This book gives a partial account of the history and reprehensible treatment of the Japanese-Mexican community during World War II in Mexico. The task of narrating this story is so complex that it is necessary to incorporate interviews, legal documents, police reports, memoirs, poems, and short stories. All names have been changed, and while some situations are fictional, others are told in the first person by those affected to give the reader a human dimension.

It includes well-known individuals, such as Sonia Sotomayor, First Latina on the Supreme Court; Dolores Huerta, Union Organizer and Community Activist; Jorge Ramos, News Anchor and Advocate; John Haroldson and María Chávez-Haroldson, District Attorney and Leadership Facilitator; and Sandra Cisneros, Author and Activist.

Disney Raises Park Admission Prices
Walt Disney World has raised ticket prices to $99 for a single-day pass to its Magic Kingdom, USA Today has reported.
This comes only eight months after the theme park's last admission price increase. In June 2013, daily admission rose $6 to $95 for a single ticket.
Admission for Disney's (NYSE: DIS) other parks also increased. Visitors to Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios will now have to pay $94 for a day's amusement.
"Our pricing reflects the high quality and breadth of experiences we offer and our ongoing commitment to investing in our parks," Disney spokesman Bryan Malenius told the Orlando Sentinel. "We offer a variety of ticket options that provide a great value, and find that most guests select multi-day tickets that offer additional savings."
Thirty years ago, a single-day pass to Disney World was a mere $14.
Related: Disney's Hong Kong Resort Stays In The Black
Analyst's Take
Industry analyst and editor for themeparkinsider.com Robert Niles told Benzinga that the only surprise about Disney's announcement is that the increase came so early in the year.
"So long as the crowds keep growing at theme parks, the parks will keep raising prices," Niles, also a former attractions host at the Magic Kingdom, said in an email. "Attendance is up at the Walt Disney World Resort, so yet another annual price increase was inevitable."
Although nearing the $100-mark for only one day in the park, Niles said this won't deter people from visiting Disney World.
"None of Disney's previous price increases have reversed the long-term trend toward increased attendance at Walt Disney World, so there's no evidence to suggest that this increase will be any different."
It's important to note that very few people pay the single-day price for admission, Niles said. Disney offers multi-day ticket packages, where the per-day price is lower than $99. A four-day pass now costs $294 ($73.50 per day), while a 10-day pass is $354 ($35.40 per day). Both grant access to a single park each day.
"Even as parks raise their top-line 'rack rate' prices, they continue to offer multiple packages and discounts, giving them a wide range of price points to attract people throughout the market," Niles said. "I wouldn't be surprised if Universal Orlando hits the $100-a-day mark with its one-day, one-park tickets when The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley opens at Universal Studios Florida this summer."

Nissan has announced that, in conjunction with other companies including Sharp, it has developed a mobile telephone that includes a car's "intelligent key".
This means that you will have a phone that doubles as your car key. Which means that you will consider a telephone as a vital part of your vehicle.
This is not intelligent. This is dumb. It's a car, not a phone booth. Drive now. Talk later. Put down the bloody phone and drive the car. You will be safer, and I will be much happier when you do not weave into my lane, slow down and speed up, or dial the phone when you should be paying attention to piloting two tons of metal at 120 km/h.

Public Forum to Address Recent Events in Charlottesville & the White Declaration of Independence
What: This coming Tuesday there will be a public forum addressing the recent white supremacy attacks in Charlottesville. The forum will also address the White Declaration of Independence and the 1898
Your condemnation of the Klan is great, but don't stop there.
I, like many Americans, am appalled by the events that occurred in Charlottesville this past weekend. Watching that graphic video of a car run over a crowd of innocent people

The Heavens Open
Titled after an amazing verse in a Van Morrison song, but honestly, it is the only name that fits the way I felt when this event happened before my eyes. The clouds broke just in time for the sunrise. There were several different layers of clouds in the sky, each reacting differently to the rising sunlight. This photograph was taken near Wetmore Landing in Marquette, MI. Same rock elements from another image of mine "Wetmore Calm." I hope everyone enjoys this photograph.
Technical details: Canon 7D, Canon 10-22mm lens (@10mm), 3-stop reverse graduated neutral density filter (Hand-held, so I could photograph the scene at 10mm without vignetting), 3-stop neutral density filter, ISO 100, F11, 1.3 Seconds.

3D printing for buildings has been explored on many fronts. In 2015, the Israeli design team Tridom won honorable mention in NASA's 3D Printed Habitat Challenge for their 'Bubble Base' building, a prototype for future human habitation on Mars. (Read more on that, here.)
Engineer Hussain Nasser Lootah, Director General of the Dubai Municipality, told the Emarat Al Youm newspaper that by 2030, 25 percent of the city's new buildings will be printed in order to reduce construction costs and shorten delivery schedules. This will especially benefit the affordable housing sector where the combination of automation and new materials will increase efficiency and significantly lower costs.
"3D printing is a disruptive technology," Sameer Lakhani, Managing Director of Global Capital Partners, told the Khaleej Times. "Currently, the process is still more expensive than conventional building methods; moreover it is in its embryonic stages, being able to accommodate only rudimentary designs. However, within a 10 to 15-year time frame, it appears likely that this form of 'printing' will start to replace existing methods of construction."
