For people, we want to be cleaner when we get out of a bath than when we went in. For chickens….it's pretty much the opposite.
The smallest chicks in the house are cute, and scraggly, with their sparsely feathered necks.They are growing independent of mom, or else she is tiring of them, I'm not sure which comes first. I think she's about to leave the chickery, like Snow White did. You kids don't need me any more, peace out. I said so just before HW said he found an egg in the covered wagon, so that confirms that. She's done with this batch, on to the next. The chicks are going to be transferred to the fort any day. The kids are hangin' out, in the shade. Mom is out of sight in the corner flirting with her suitors on the outside. This is the key sign. She loses interest in her chicks, and suddenly becomes fascinated with the boys she has had absolutely NO interest in for months (the roosters never lose interest in them).
Hens are interesting. They are extremely devoted mothers, until they're not (coincidentally, this happens when the offspring look most like punks). Then they revert to being single girls, until they're ready to be moms again, and repeat the cycle. Over and over. While they are caring for chicks, they don't lay eggs, similar to lactating mammals (which makes me curious about what's going on hormonally for chickens, since they aren't lactating).
For women, you don't raise a brood of kids and then go back to being a good-time girl. Not without amnesia and child protective services. Let alone do it repeatedly. Once you're a mom, you're never not-a-mom again.

Ramzan, or Ramadan, is one of the most important festivals in the world with over 2 billion people celebrating the pious occasion. But, as you fast through the day and commit to the spiritual journey, it is also important to follow healthy measures during the post-fasting period. Most people have the misconception that fasting through the day can compensate for the heavy feast during the night. This is however not the case as you'll see in the following post. Here, we tell you what you shouldn't be doing during the month of Ramzan:
Eating large amount of processed food
Processed foods are convenient but most of them are usually unhealthy as they contain high-fructose corn syrup, sodium, oils and MSG (to enhance flavour). Junk foods are devoid of nutrients and will do nothing for you. Stock up on fruits, vegetables and nuts, and focus on getting all your food groups.
Drinking Roohafza on a daily basis
Roohafza or other rose-flavoured drinks may seem to provide your parched palate with some respite during Iftaar but they exact a heavy price on your body. High in sugar, additives and colourants, this sharbat doesn't provide your body with the nutrients it needs when you are fasting. If you must drink it, limit consumption to twice a week.
Guzzling large amounts of water at Iftaar time
Coming after an entire day of fasting, too much water too soon may completely fill up the stomach and be more strenuous than simple food can be. We recommend having a few sips of water at Iftaar and then ensuring you have a glassful every two hours.
Chewing and swallowing food too fast
It's natural to want to eat as fast as you can when you're very hungry, but slowing down can help. Research has shown that eating slowly and mindfully helps you eat less, aids the digestion process and enhances the pleasure of the food. It can also help you maintain your weight.
Consuming foods high in sodium
They may seem to be flavourful but foods rich in sodium – salty snacks, salted nuts and seeds, chips, pickles and papads – triggers thirst through the fasting hours of the day. Instead, eat foods that are high in potassium as they retain water and help suppress your thirst. Try bananas, milk, pistachios, pumpkin, peas and dark chocolate.
Exercising directly after Iftaar
Most people who are keen to pursue their fitness even during the month of fasting often schedule their exercise sessions immediately after their evening meal. However, this should be avoided as the body's blood flow is concentrated around the stomach at that time and exercising may affect the digestive process. Instead, exercise two hours after your meal.
Having dessert directly after Iftaar
Iftar is the evening meal when Muslims end their daily Ramzan fast at sunset. Most people end their meal with a sweet treat, be it kheer, phirni or halwa. However, ending a heavy meal with a heavy dessert can make you drowsy. Save the dessert for later and enjoy it two hours after Iftaar to stay fresh and awake for Ishaa and Taraweeh prayers.
Keep in mind that maintaining your usual daily activity level during Ramzan is recommended, but do avoid the sun and heat.

Pre-Order your copy of 'Marcus' now (£6.99 with UK postage included):
Welcome to Jack Reusen.co.uk Here you'll find information about the Jack Reusen series of books by John Bray, along with details of his other work.
His latest book 'Marcus' is a dark fantasy novel for readers aged twelve and up. It will be coming to print later in the year but you can pre-order a paperback copy now by clicking the 'buy now' button above.
Set in Crieff (in Perthshire, Scotland), this story weaves through the town's past and present.
There is something very strange about Marcus, and James might be the only one who sees it. When James discovers an old WWII photo, he can't believe his eyes; right at the front of the picture is Marcus. But will anyone else believe him? More to the point, will James get a chance to share what he's found at all?
Read on for information about John's fist books. Written for children aged eight years and up, John wrote these books specifically with reluctant readers in mind. The chapters are short and the stories pack a whole heap of adventure into a small package:
John's first book is 'Jack Reusen and the Fey Flame': A chance event in a forest near Jack's home opens his eyes to the world of 'Fey': a place filled with magic, enchantments, and with people and creatures unlike anything Jack has seen before.
It's a great opportunity to get lost in another world. Girls that turn into polar bears, Jack's school closed because of a peculiar beast causing havoc, and keep an eye out for the 'war chicken' (she wears a saddle). (click this link for the kindle edition, a paperback edition is also available, you can click this link for more details).
'Jack Reusen and the Spark of Dreams' is the second book in the series and it continues where the Fey Flame left off.
What happens when people stop being able to dream? A city turning into zombies that's what! Even worse someone seems to be controlling them. Can Jack stop a whole new type of magic? Will a girl who can turn into a bear and a huge owl-man be any match for a horde of mindless 'sleepers'? You'll have to read it to find out!
To follow the progress of the Jack Reusen series, read more of John's work (including a full 1st draft of John's newest book 'Marcus' (for 12 and up), and to find out about upcoming events and school book talks, follow John's blog (use the link or click the 'blog' tab above).

An extremely sad development in the ongoing story of Glee star Cory Monteith's death: According to TMZ, an autopsy has revealed that the 31-year-old actor died of drug toxicity, and that he had a lethal mix of heroin and alcohol in his system.
Monteith was found dead in his Vancouver, Canada hotel room this past Saturday, where he was vacationing to visit friends. This morning, the New York Post reported that Monteith—though recently out of rehab a second time for drug abuse—"was allegedly living a double life," and would be sober while he was in LA filming Glee, and then fall off the wagon when he visited Vancouver. He had been battling a drug problem since he was a teen, and went to rehab for the first time at the age of nineteen.
Sources explained that the "Glee" cast spent a lot of time keeping Monteith on the straight and narrow, adding that he never showed up to work under the influence of anything.
However, when he went home to some of his pals in Vancouver, "alcohol and drugs were always involved," the gossip site reports.
Monteith was dating his Glee co-star, Lea Michele at the time of his death. In a statement, a rep for the actress said, "we ask that everyone kindly respect Lea's privacy during this devastating time."

Top 5 Foods To Breathe Easier
As of now, there's no cure for asthma, but with the help of medication and smarter food choices, you can help control your symptoms and live a pretty normal, active life.
"There is no special diet for asthma; however, a diet rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, flavonoids, magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids may lower the risk of asthma," explains Angela Ginn, a registered dietitian nutritionist and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in Baltimore, Maryland.
"More research is needed to find the direct connection of diet and asthma. A nutrient-rich diet is important for your overall health and can be a part of the asthma treatment plan."
Furthermore, here are five foods that will help you breathe easier so that you start feeling your best.
1. Apples
We've all heard of the saying, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away," right? Well, how about "an apple a day keeps the asthma away"? According to a British study, people who ate two to five apples per week lowered their risk of asthma by 32 percent.

Packing and Moving Propane Grills for Safety
It's something that may not have come to mind until the last few weeks of packing. If you're lucky, one of your friends has a pickup and will help you get it to point B, otherwise, you'll need to prepare. Packing and moving propane grills is not as easy as you may think!
The first few steps. Some of the steps in this process are self-explanatory, but for safety reasons they're worth repeating. Always, always, wait for a prolonged period after grilling to even consider relocating a propane grill. From the general temperature of the lava-rocks to the heat shields above the elements at the base — things can remain hot, and need to cool. Once this process is complete you are ready to go.
Tank and connections. Take a moment to carefully tighten the gas valve on the tank(s). Once complete, gently unscrew and disconnect the tank from the grill. Keep in mind, you cannot transport flammable gas on a professional moving truck. The tank must be transported in a personal vehicle or disposed of. It isn't safe to keep the tank in your personal vehicle for long periods of time, either. Use care when transporting any propane or gas tank.
Unsecured parts. You are now ready to move the grill, but must not allow loose parts to fall or become damaged. Remove the racks and any accessories that aren't fastened to the main grill. Take all cooking utensils and pack them separately to avoid damage. Ensure that all switches and knobs are in the off position, and consider taping them down. Tape closed any cabinet doors or drawers and cook tops.
Wrap tightly. Now it is time to roll the grill in a blanket or cover. Find something thick enough to withstand being wrapped around a rugged grill, and use duct tape to seal the deal. The grill should be safe enough to move if the lid won't fly open, so be sure to pay attention to detail during this step.
You should now be ready to allow the professionals at Atmosphere Movers take over. Best of luck!

The bloodied hands
[editor's note: this post was "pasted" in — it appeared originally at the old Dawson's Danube site, which is archived here.]
News organizations are so ridiculous. Look at the captions for these two photos, selected from the result of this search (hat tip LGF).
If I'd been asleep since, say, 1948, and then saw these photos and captions today, wouldn't I assume that these people's hands were bloody because they actually received injuries as a consequence of the Israeli attacks? Why don't Reuters and AFP tell it like it is?

Austrian National Holiday 2005
[editor's note: this post was "pasted" in — it appeared originally at the old Dawson's Danube site, which is archived here.]
I enjoyed the big parade today as Austria celebrated Nationalfeiertag, which is the office state holiday commemorating the anniversary of the declaration of Austrian neutrality. Today was the 50th anniversary of that event and is also considered the 50th anniversary of the modern-day (i.e., post-occupation) Austrian military. The military put on a great show: almost 100 aircraft, 4200 soldiers, 180 tanks, and heck of a lot more.
I took a few photos. Here's one of what I think is a Blackhawk flying over the parade route, though somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.
I took only seven photos. You can see them all at Flickr. Someone else took way more photos than I did, viewable also at Flickr. And the ORF (public broadcasting) has, of course, some fantastic photos, because they had a big remote camera way up high zooming along cables. The daily newspaper, Die Presse, also has a nice slideshow.
As always, I enjoyed the flyers the most. Among the helicopters were Blackhawks and Hueys. Among the fighter jets were Drakens (being retired this year), some model of Saab that I cannot remember, F-5 Tigers which Austria is leasing from Switzerland as they wait for their first batch of Eurofighter Typhoons in 2007, and then the Eurofighter Typhoons themselves (obviously from another country since Austria doesn't have them yet.)
The Eurofighter has gotten a ton of bad press over the years. All the criticism may or may not be justified (or partially so), but I'll tell you one thing from my little perspective on the ground today: they were awesome!
I was happy to see the Stars and Stripes (with a few Marines) taking part. I took a few videos (crappy ones using the digital camera), including one of the American flag marching past. You can see the Brits and the Russian Federation next to it: nfeirtag1.wmv (2.69 MB).
If you want to see a few different Austrian military uniforms, I slammed some short clips together into one movie: nfeirtag2.wmv (6.10 MB).
Of course the whole time I was thinking more about our own troops in both Afghanistan and Iraq. My heroes.
The crowd at the parade in Vienna was enormous. The exhibits on the Rathausplatz and Heldenplatz were interesting and enjoyable. I must hand it to the Bundesheer, they put on a really great show.
One thing was very noticeable, so much so that even my wife — an Austrian — commented on it several times: almost nobody waved their Austrian flags or cheered, despite flags being handed out to everybody along the parade route. That's quite different from the United States. And though I would like to see the Austrians be a bit more outwardly proud of their Austrian-ness, I recognize and respect the historical reasons why people might tone down their enthusiasm during military parades.

Rhein-Main ends flying operations
[editor's note: this post was "pasted" in — it appeared originally at the old Dawson's Danube site, which is archived here.]
(photo by Air Force Staff Sgt Ricky Bloom)
The real "Gateway to Europe" is no more. As this article at European Command explains, the gateway mission will now be shared at two other U.S. air bases in Germany, Ramstein and Spangdahlem.
Present at the Monday ceremony was retired Colonel Gail Halvorsen, who became famous as the "Candy Bomber" during one of Rhein-Main's most memorable missions, the Berlin Airlift of 1948–49. I poked around on the web and found this CNN interview with Halvorsen. It's worth reading. Here's a little gem:
Kids came up on the other side of the barbed wire [and] looked at me in [my] uniform. … They came up and started talk to me: "How many sacks of flour have you got?", you know, "How's it going to be tomorrow? More airplanes?"
They'd tell me they kept a list, how many airplanes would come in every day, and week-to-week. But they got off the subject of flour very quickly [and onto] the subject of freedom. "Look," [one of them] said. "Some day we'll have enough to eat. Just give us a little. Just don't give up on us when the weather gets bad. But we can get along without enough to eat. Some day we'll have enough. But if we lose our freedom we may never get it back."
And these kids were 8 to 14 years old and blew my mind with their maturity [and] understanding of what was important. They'd seen enough of Hitler; they saw what Stalin was doing across the border; their aunts and uncles were coming into West Berlin to use the library to find out what's going on in the world; they couldn't travel; they didn't have their church opportunities. So these kids had a real understanding of what was important in their life and they wanted freedom like Americans.
[My emphasis]
31 Americans died during the airlift.

Then between 1949 and 1950, the fur collar was replaced by a knit collar and nylon was used to make the body of the jacket due to its ability to remain dry as well as prevent the absorption of water into the fabrics of the jacket. The common population started wearing the bomber jacket during the mid-1950. Read about the history of the bomber jacket.

Edmonds Community College softball, and rivals to the South looked to pick up the 2019 season right where they left off in 2018 as NWAC title contenders. The Tritons return 8 sophomores from last years team that advanced to the final day of the NWAC championship tournament and took home 3rd place. While the Trojans return not a single player from last years team that also found success advancing to the final 6 in the championship tournament.
Experience got the better of the Trojans as they dropped both games, the first 15-5 and the second 12-4. In the first game, Edmonds jumped out in the first inning to a 4-0 lead on a grand slam that would set the tone for the remainder of the day. Six more home runs would be tallied by the end of the game for Edmonds as they piled on the runs topping out at 15. It was a tough day for starting pitcher Caddidy Conrad who went 3 innings and gave up 9 hits, 11 earned runs, and walked 6. A bright spot for the young Trojans squad who have proven they can score runs in the first 6 games of the season averaging 6.3 per game, came in the top of the 5th trailing at that time 15-1. Everett started a one out rally with a trio of singles followed by a double that would put two runs across. Then one batter later two more singles would push across two more runs eventually cutting the deficit to 15-5 before Edmonds got the final out.
While Cassidy had a tough day pitching, offensively she had a great game, going 2 for 3 for the game with a double and drove in two runs.
In game #2, Everett picked up in the 1st inning where they left off in the previous game with a Megan Parsley two run homer. But the Edmonds offense continued their prowess driving in runs in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd inning. After Everett scored a run in the top of the 4th to bring the score to 3-5, Edmonds all but sealed the game with a big 6 run bottom of the 4th inning, and held on to sweep the day with a 12-4 win.
Everett will look to re-focus this weekend as they travel to Des Moines to face Highline College. The Thunderbirds are 3-5 on the season, and most recently were swept in their north region opener against Douglas College of British Columbia losing 12-3 and 8-7.

But all Americans could be mandated to buy one or pay a
Supreme Court says so.
"While the "stimulus" racked up trillions in new debt, billions of dollars did go to create jobs that were outsourced or spent overseas.
Whether is it electric cars made in Finland or solar panels in Mexico, taxpayers would be astonished to learn that their hard-earned money went abroad for jobs that weren't created in the United States.
Switzerland, China, Finland, Denmark, South Korea, Australia, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, New Zealand, Thailand, Vietnam, Italy, Russia, Germany, Luxembourg, El Salvador, Great Britain, India, Spain, Indonesia, Japan and France have connections to companies that received stimulus funds or grants, or received stimulus funds directly.
Many of the companies that received funds have ties to the green energy industry, such as Fisker Automotive, which built cars in Finland, or the California Solar Valley Ranch, which included some solar panels built in Mexico rather than at the SunPower California plant."

Bull's Eye Pest Control is ready to resolve your ant infestation.
"Thank you for doing such a great job!"
Click on the pest that's bothering you.
There are indoor ants and outdoor ants. Both can cause you problems. If you have a nest of harvester ants in your backyard, you will want to watch your children. Harvester ants are big and red and they pack a sting that is just as painful as a bee sting. If your kids step on their nest, the ants will attack. Pavement ants make a mess of your driveway and garage. With pavement ants you will notice cones of dirt along the cracks of your driveway and sidewalks. If they can find a way into your home, they will steal cereals and sugar from your pantry.
If you have odorous house ants you have an uninvited guest that will be stealing your food. Odorous house ants can live in the voids of your wall. You will know them by their smell. If you crush an odorous house ant, you will smell rotten coconut. If you have never smelled rotten coconut, smash an odorous house ant. Carpenter ants are another indoor ant, but these pests cause real problems. Like termites they burrow through wood and can damage the structural integrity of you home.
No matter what type of ant is causing problems in or around your home, one call to Bull's Eye Pest Control will eliminate the problem. We are serious about ant elimination. Our technicians are skilled ant eradication experts. When you call us, you know that you are getting the best in local pest control. Don't let ants invade, give us call today.

SF-based Reality Digital, which powers user-generated video features for MTV Networks, Travel Channel and Lonely Planet, raised a $6.5 million series B round from OpenVew Venture Partners, according to TechCrunch. That's on top of a $2 million series A individual investors in November 2005.
Reality Digital provides the technology to allow sites to run their own mini YouTubes with video upload and community features. The company's "white-label" approach was a wise departure from its initial business: operator of early YouTube (GOOG) roadkill Clipshack.com. Unfortunately for Reality Digital (not to mention Twistage, VSocial and Brightcove), YouTube is getting into the "white label" video business as well and is already powering video for Electronic Arts (ERTS). Probably safe to assume Viacom's MTV will stay in Reality Digital's corner. Will anyone else?

another dragon you need to know
okay, here's the deal. i am about to introduce you to umbelroth, who in turn with give you an attunement quest to drakul, which you need to get to monsoon, an epic boss you need to defeat as part of the lunus rite of passage for ancienthood. and i did find umbelroth, and i did take the quest. but, it is a timed thing and i was concentrating on the trainer stuff. so i ran out of time to complete it. in addition, i thought i had got screenies of how to get to the dragon, as he can be difficult to find based on a description in words - but as i cannot find them, i must not have.
so, today i shall post what little i do have, and i will expand on this posting next time. i plan on getting into game at least long enough to complete this quest this weekend. so please forgive me for the briefness of this post and i promise to make it up to you next time, if you do me the honor of coming back!
well, here we go.....
umbelroth can be found in the foothills behind the cave where you found meimonus, but you can't get there from there. you need to circle around the large lava cauldron next to the cave and under the floating crystal island to reach the pathway to umbelroth, standing outside of the entrances of some player lairs.
when you greet umbelroth and listen to the tale, you will receive a quest to fetch some ash from the top of the volcano to the south of dralk city. fetch the ash (by approaching the small cauldron and waiting for the message that you have received it to appear) and return to umbelroth. the dragon will send you north to the coast to bathe in the ocean waters there.
and this is where i ran out of time. i will dedicate my next post entirely to this quest, as it is important to mourningwood's future! i hope you do come back, it should be a surprise to us both!

As a woman writing the publisher's letter for the "Men's Edition," I find myself not quite sure where to start. I've considered myself one of the guys in many circumstances. I was a tomboy as a child—one of the first picked, along with the boys, as one of the best kickball players on the playground. I was the only female with the on-air staff at several radio stations where I worked as a young adult. I could hang with the guys. Ultimately however, I've always embraced my womanhood and had a certain respect for things distinctly masculine. Maybe I felt a certain envy of my male counterparts' freedom to be and do the things that back in my day were considered inappropriate for females. Men – the empowered!
As fate would have it, I had only one child, my son Jason. He is the light of my world. This somehow seems appropriate as my ability to embrace all things girlie has never come easily. Jason's first obsession was with big trucks. He was fascinated with He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, the Ninja Turtles and later Mortal Combat. He would play outside until he was pure dirt, then run inside to scream, "Mom! Love you!" then run back to rejoin his friends. He was…all boy.
I went to that boy's wedding last month. He will now have a family and will be the man. This made me ponder the qualities that I wish for my son that I know will serve him and his family. A man should respond. It takes discipline to filter oneself. Boys react, men respond. Men have a cause. Jason doesn't have to end world hunger, but he can fight to be a better version of himself. Men take action while boys complain. And finally, my son Jason, men, and all humans should be free to be unashamedly themselves!
Please enjoy this edition dedicated to men. You'll meet several that are making a difference and taking action to change the fields in which they play.

To compare racial differences in clinical presentation, natural history, and access to medical care and procedures among emergency-department patients with acute chest pain.
Prospective follow-up study of consecutive patients coming to the emergency department because of acute chest pain.
Two university medical centers.
A total of 3031 patients who were 30 years or older and who came to the emergency department with acute chest pain from 1984 to 1986.
African-Americans tended to have slightly, but not always significantly, lower rates of acute myocardial infarction, acute ischemic heart disease, and major complications, after adjusting for presenting symptoms and signs; the adjusted odds ratios for African-Americans were as follows: 0.77 (95% CI, 0.54 to 1.1) for acute myocardial infarction, 0.75 (CI, 0.59 to 0.95) for ischemic heart disease, and 0.79 (CI, 0.45 to 1.4) for death or major complications. Clinical factors classically associated with acute myocardial infarction were equally predictive in African-Americans and whites. After adjustments were made for multiple clinical factors, a lower proportion of African-Americans were admitted to the hospital (odds ratio, 0.69; CI, 0.56 to 0.84), and, once admitted, were somewhat less likely to be triaged to the coronary care unit (odds ratio, 0.81; CI, 0.65 to 1.0). In adjusted analyses, African-Americans were as likely to undergo cardiac catheterization as whites (odds ratio, 0.86; CI, 0.64 to 1.2) but were less likely to undergo coronary artery bypass procedures once severity of coronary disease was included in the analysis (odds ratio, 0.24; CI, 0.08 to 0.71).
African-Americans and whites had a similar presentation and natural history of acute myocardial infarction and, after adjusting for probability of clinical events, similar access to most medical care and cardiac procedures. However, the rate of coronary artery bypass procedures was much lower among African-Americans than among whites. Reasons for this difference should be studied.

Allergen Declaration Checking
Allergy recalls are one of the largest sources of recalls in the food industry, yet many are preventable by implementing various policies, including very careful checking of all raw material specifications against a list of allergens known to be present on supplier manufacturing sites. Using QADEX Self audits module & Specifications module, allergen declarations are auto validated enabling reductions in allergen related product recalls
There is a large amount of data across all your specifications and supplier audit documents to cross check everything line by line, every time that you get a new document from any supplier. We are aware of food companies who have invested heavily in technologist resource to carry out these checks.
They are finding that >50% of ingredient specifications provided by suppliers contain incorrectly declared allergens.
If >50% of your ingredient specifications contain incorrectly declared allergens what is the impact on the accuracy of your allergen management policy?
Using QADEX Vision allergen declarations from suppliers can be auto-validated helping to reduce allergen related product recalls.
Even better, this module is FREE to all customers who choose to use our Raw Material Specifications module and Self Audit Questionnaires module

At Culebra North Dental Care, we are devoted to providing you with high-quality dental care. We also realize that some patients have anxieties and fears about visiting their dentist. This is why we offer sedation dentistry in our dental office. Regardless of the reason for your anxiety, sedation dentistry will help you to have a comfortable dental experience that will give you the smile you have always envisioned. Also, if you have any questions or concerns about any of the sedation services we offer, our dentists and experienced team will gladly address them for you.
What Types of Oral Sedation Are There?
Aside from answering your questions and providing you with the most comfortable dental atmosphere possible, Dr. Quillian is pleased to offer oral sedation and nitrous oxide as the main types of sedation dentistry at our office.
Oral sedation is a pill that is taken approximately one hour before your visit to our office. This pill can offer mild to moderate sedation, depending on the dosage. Generally, oral sedation will cause drowsiness and sleepiness, which will occasionally make a patient fall asleep. However, our dentists can wake sleeping patients with just a light shake.
Another sedation dentistry option we provide is nitrous oxide, which is usually referred to as laughing gas. Patients under the effects of laughing gas generally stay awake as well, but they may not remember the specifics of their procedure.
Call Our Sedation Dentistry Office in San Antonio, TX Today!
If you have any questions about the benefits of sedation dentistry in San Antonio, Texas, please contact us today.

Really brilliant to meet with you on Tuesday and have a good natter about Upholstery! Thank you for giving me that time! I have put together a little paragraph on how you have helped me out over the past year and how the Elsie group has been a great help too!
My first coffee meeting with Mike Chitty clarified that I needed to get on a plane and do some exploring (which I have been pursuing, Biking around France, a trip to the Middle East and an excursion to India in the pipeline later this year) which has has re instilled some inspiration into my business, So thanks Mike! That was the start!
Recently Mike asked if he could put me up on in front of his Elsie group to see whether they could help with some ideas for business development and expansion. We arranged for one of my miniature sofas and a couple of cushions to be available for the Panel to look at, and recently I met Mike for a coffee, to see what ideas they had produced.
Mike presented me with an A4 sheet of paper scribbled with so many ideas from the group that was really helpful!
Great creative marketing ideas and some excellent ideas on how I can push my work forward. I like the fact that I wasn't there which allowed the group tobe totally honest and get straight to the point.
Some of these ideas on the A4 sheet will be helpful, some invaluble and inspiring and most of all have given me a tremendous boost to try some new ideas suggested by people who have never met me!
So MASSSIVE thanks!!!

Those of you who know me (Liz) well – and those who I used to work with will have heard me rant about the eco-slum project, for the rest of you… let me explain! 2 years ago I was a very small cog in a very large project team based in London working up plans to 'redevelop' Asia's largest slum into an eco-community. My rant was, and still is, that a group of architects (and environmentalists) sitting in London (equally Australia, US or Hong Kong) should not be the ones dreaming up the plans for what will happen to these 1 million (legal) – 2 million (actual) slum dwellers – particularly if it involves organic veg boxes and complex solar panels?! Anyway thankfully that project stalled… for now.
Dharavi (the slum in question) is the so called 'heart of Mumbai' due its geographic heart shape and its location in the centre of the city – bounded on either side by vital rail links. This is a prime rump of land; developers across the country (and world) salivate at its potential. The place has been written about, debated, analysed and assessed; When the Indian government made moves to rehouse the residents and dismantle the slums NGO's and humans rights groups the world over were up in arms; Kevin McCloud made a documentary about the place, Prince Charles came for a visit etc etc… being in Mumbai – we could not pass up the opportunity to pop along.
'There is no caste in Mumbai, there is only money. Poor, rich, or very rich', Ganesh our guide states, 'in this city no one will go to bed hungry, someone will always give you work, even if you work 24 hours for 50 rupees, at the end you will be able to eat.' And this is what continues to draw rural migrants to the city of dreams. The first house was built 140 years ago, when Dharavi was the swamp at edge of the city and the dump, migrants to the city came to live here as the flat land, above sea level, provided somewhere to build their homes without threat from the monsoon rains. We joined a tour run by a company that is seeking to change the way people think about slums; that word typically conjures up an image of disease, passivity and depravation. Reality Tours are trying to portray the positive sides of the slum, the hard work, sense of community and sense of opportunity that lives and breathes within Dharavi… granted those things are evident… but surely nothing can take away from the significant health risks endemic to living and working on a landfill site.
Throughout our long cycle ride our perpetual friend in the city, countryside, desert, mountain and seaside has been plastic. Bags, bottles, cartons, wrappers. .. It is everywhere. Much of this plastic eventually makes its way to Dharavi – millions of tonnes of plastic are shipped in from the US and China (and probably the UK). Dharavi is the only slum in Mumbai with a thriving industrial sector, every type of plastic is sorted, ground, pelleted and processed to make into a recycled raw material ready to turn back in to mobile phone cases, buttons, belts etc. There is plastic everywhere; your yesterdays throwaway water bottle crushed and stacked now lines the alleyways, that TV you threw away for the latest up grade now broken down, nimble (highly skilled) fingers working tirelessness to strip sort and resort it's every conceivable component; the fridge, the microwave, the hairdryer, the once only used plastic cupsplatesknivesforksspoonsbowls .. everywhere we turn there are people sitting, standing, crouching, sorting plastic; everywhere we look, there it is, pile upon pile next to piles on top of piles…
Plumes of gritty black smoke fill the air as we move into the paint can recycling area – used paint tins are burned in an open fire to remove the remnants of paint. The tins are then bashed and banged, by hand, back into shape and resold. So Dulux, DuPont and ICI can earn brownie points for re-using paint tins… but who considers the health cost to the guys sitting for 12 hours a day by an open fire burning acrid chemicals with absolutely NO safety precautions at all.
We are led through the narrow alleys, barely able to stand up, curtains flapping in the doorways to tiny single room dwellings, the stench of raw, stagnant sewage all around. A film of grime floating on top of the open sewage channels, naked barefoot children running down the alleys, we emerge into an open area. This is where children play, they play on rubbish, they play with rubbish. In one corner a child is defecating, in another a small huddle are merrily setting fire to plastic bags, prodding and poking the gooey, melted edges, while others turn a raucous game of cricket with a plastic-pipe-bat and foraged-plastic-ball. '82% are enrolled in school', Ganesh tells us, but he also admits that with 50-60 in a class the quality can be somewhat dubious.
I smiled inside as we passed the area where women make pappadams – I recognised them – I've seen pappadams like this for sale in Sainsbury's ready for me to pop in a microwave… rolled by the women and placed out to dry in the sun. That'll be on the rubbish dump, next to the open sewer, covered in flies, air thick with industrial fumes, drying in the sun – before being packaged up and exported. Enjoy.
PS – none of these photos are ours – while in Dharavi we were asked not to take any.

text: CANTON, Mass., June 11 -- Robotic Vision Systems Inc. has received an order for a WS-2510 bumped wafer inspection system from a Taiwan producer of wafer-level packaging solutions. The system will be used for 2-D surface defect inspection as well as for 3-D metrology on gold and solder bumps and will be installed at the company's new bumping facility in Hsin-Chu Hsien, Taiwan. "This order had special significance to us because the customer required a single inspection tool that was sufficiently versatile to cover an extremely broad range of inspection applications encompassing 3-D metrology and 2-D surface inspection on both gold and older bumps," said Michael Gray, the Semiconductor Equipment Group's vice president of sales.

Product feature: Synthetic polypeptide toxins - a novel approach to ion-channel and receptor research
Toxins are a structurally and functionally diverse class of biologically produced poisonous molecules. Certain toxins have the ability to selectively bind and inhibit individual ion-channels or cell surface receptors, making them potent and valuable tools for studying cellular function and communication.
antibodies-online has teamed up with Smartox Biotechnology to offer ~70 different synthetic polypeptide toxins specifically designed for use in life-science research applications.
Many of these highly versatile and unique reagents possess functional properties that extend beyond simply inhibiting their respective targets. For example, product TMR-ShK is synthetic Stichodactyla toxin conjugated to a fluorescent probe (TMR), and may be used to label voltage gated potassium channels in IF and FACS experiments..

There are significant pros and cons to be considered when traveling during the offseason.
Cons could include bad weather or the lack of daylight. Perhaps you'll find that some important attractions are closed for retooling. All of these are among the common drawbacks to off-season travel.
The list of advantages might be shorter, but no less significant. Crowds are reduced so lines are shorter. Guides and business owners actually have time to talk with you. Prices also are reduced in most cases. You'll frequently spend a fraction of what is required for hotels, airfares, and tours during peak season.
It's important that you consider the factors and apply them to your specific travel needs. Keep an open mind. Costa Rica at the peak of rainy season might be inexpensive, but is that really the experience you want?
Off Season Travel - Paris and Italy Are Bargains in March
Why should you consider traveling to a location during the so-called offseason? The question arose because of a lack of frequent flier miles and quickly developed into an itinerary for exploring Italy and France in the month of March. Those frequent flier seats were more plentiful in March, and rooms in bargain hotels also proved far more available. You might find a trip that seemed beyond your financial reach in peak season suddenly becomes much more affordable as an offseason journey.
Off Season Travel - Pros
Finding a deal during the so-called "off-season" or "low season" is so much easier because budget travelers have bargaining power. You're not going to fare well when the innkeeper has a waiting list of people ready to book rooms that might become available. No bargaining takes place in that situation. But, in the offseason, that well-located, charming room in the middle of Venice could be available and vacant. Wouldn't you, as a hotel owner, be willing to cut a deal that would prevent the room from sitting vacant for the night? They're willing to discount in exchange for a paying customer. But the advantages don't end there. Lines for major attractions are shorter, and people who can tell you more about your destination actually have the time to talk to you.
Off Season Travel - Cons
As with all budget travel strategies, this one requires some homework before it is employed. When that cheap Berlin airfare pops up for January, remember that Germany can be cold and dark at that time of year. There's more: Is the museum you've dreamed of visiting your entire life closed for renovations in the offseason? If so, your bargain trip loses much of its appeal. It pays to look at the reasons people decide not to go to a place during certain times of the year, and then decide if those challenges are likely to spoil your trip.

LOS ANGELES – The federal government on Wednesday designated Los Angeles River a full-fledged navigable waterway, affirming the river's tributaries qualify for Clean Water Act protections and settling a long-running dispute over its status.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa P. Jackson said the waterway's use by watercraft, plans for restoration and other factors qualify it as a "traditional navigable water." She announced the designation at a news conference on the banks of south Los Angeles' Compton Creek, which feeds into the river.
"This designation assures the community that their local waters are protected by the nation's water laws," Jackson said in a prepared statement. "A clean, vibrant LA River system can help revitalize struggling communities, promoting growth and jobs for residents of Los Angeles."
Lined with concrete along most of its route to prevent meandering and flooding, the Los Angeles River flows at a trickle, if at all, during dry periods but can turn into a raging torrent during storms.
Jackson said Los Angeles Basin wetlands and natural streams would be assured a measure of protection from pollution and development by the river's reaffirmed status as a navigable waterway.
The EPA's designation represents a turnaround from two years ago, when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposed declaring only small portions of the Los Angeles River to be traditional navigable waters two years ago.
Advocates for the river feared the designation would weaken federal protections for many of the tributaries that feed the river, since only waterways with "navigable" status are subject to the Clean Water Act.
The EPA later stepped in and took jurisdiction over the river, which runs 51 miles from the northwestern San Fernando Valley, around the eastern side of downtown Los Angeles and south to Long Beach harbor.
Jackson was joined at Wednesday's news conference in south Los Angeles County by county Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, who announced the acquisition of a five-acre parcel of land that had been the only segment along the nine-mile Compton Creek not in public hands.
The county used $1.5 million from a voter-approved park-funding bond measure to buy the property, Ridley-Thomas' environment deputy Karly Katona said.
The newly purchased segment, with its soft soil bottom, is an anomaly along the otherwise mostly cement-lined Compton Creek. Ridley-Thomas said its relatively natural state made it a good place to contemplate the environmental restoration efforts and flood-control improvements needed all along the creek, most of which is managed by the Corps of Engineers.
He noted federal and county officials had determined that the levee system protecting the lower parts of Compton Creek don't have the capacity to contain a so-called 100-year storm, or a storm of an intensity reached only once per century.
"The Army Corps of Engineers must work with the county on an ecosystem restoration study to address increasing flood protection concerns within the Compton Creek watershed," Ridley-Thomas said in a statement. "Alternatives must be identified that address the public safety, natural habitat, recreational opportunities and economic vitality of the creek and the overall watershed."

Imperial Beach, the
southwesterly most city in the continental U.S. is
located a 15 minute drive from
downtown San Diego, south
of Coronado, Imperial Beach is five miles from Mexico
and is separated from the border by the Tijuana River
and Border Field State Park. Imperial Beach is home to a
beautiful 1,500-foot pier with popular Tin Fish
restaurant located at the end. "Pier Plaza" is an
entryway to the Pier with a Wyland sculpture and
colorful surf-themed and ocean decor.
What is there to do at a
this quaint, scenic beach community? Surfing, boogie
boarding, fishing from the pier, day trips to Tijuana,
sunbathing and bird watching at Tijuana Estuary Visitor
Center are a few attractions. Looking south from the
beach, you can see the Plaza De Monumental, Tijuana's
famous "Bullring by the Sea" just across the
International border with Mexico. In contrast to San
Diego's beach liquor policy, alcoholic beverages are
not allowed at Imperial Beach.
Annual events include the
U. S. Open Sandcastle Competition every summer. Claimed
by some to be one of the best beaches for sandcastle
building, this event attracts around 200,000 spectators
who come to enjoy the Sandcastles and Street Fair.
There's a parade, fireworks show and lots of fun things
stretching over three days. 150 vendors and arts and
crafts booths line Seacoast Drive and a dozen bands or
so, perform on two stages. Upcoming dates for the event
are: July 15, 16 & 17, 2005.

Imperial Beach was named
for Imperial Valley and was designed as a resort for
residents of that region. It began as plots of land
sold by developer R.R. Morrison in 1887. The first
municipal pier was built in 1909 and contained an odd
machine known as the "Edwards Wave Motor." Hoping that
the contraption would generate electricity for the town,
it did not and was removed. Without the huge machine,
the pier became a more attractive place to stroll. A
boardwalk and bathhouse were built near the pier and
stood for many years. A storm washed the pier away in
1948 and several piers have been constructed since.
Imperial Beach has been an official city for over 40
