This is the question I asked the angels tonight. Here is the answer I received:
– Be kind, even when you are not treated with kindness. Know that there is no reason to allow another's behavior to affect you – for truly, it affects only them, unless you choose to join them. Only your own behavior, your own actions, truly affect you in the end.
– Be patient. Everything happens in its own time, for its own reasons – and you may never know the reasons in this life. But know that the reasons are there, and trust that each experience unfolds exactly as it should, and when it should – even if it doesn't seem like it at the time.
– Reach a helping hand to those in need. Share – your love, your caring, a smile. So little can be so much.
– Be the light. Shine brightly!
Love and light,

Year of the Cat: keeping the lid on.
Year of the Cat: the shamelessly bias take on the 2016 AFL season.
It was as beautiful as it was satisfying. As Geelong fans traveled back home on the soon to be renamed Danger Highway, they knew that yes, the game had changed. 2016 is looking good.
A bloke called Zac Smith showed plenty of promise in the ruck, while the old hands of Bartel and Selwood continued to haunt Hawks fans dreams, bless em. And how about those young kids? Gregson, McCarthy, Lang – the future looks bright.
Yet there was one guy who stood out among them all. Patrick Dangerfield showed in two hours why his off season signing dominated talk in the papers and the pubs. He is a star. I can think of few better debuts. Place a Brownlow bet on him early.
Meanwhile, things aren't looking too great down at Glenferrie oval, and ain't it sweet. They face West Coast this week and then the Doggies, who went on a rampage against Freo in round one and certainly look the part. Hodgey is facing some weeks on the sidelines with a broken arm, and Roughead's season won't be starting for some time yet. Don't like players getting injured, but think of the miserable Hawthorn fans and it makes it better.
While on Hawthorn, has anyone ever heard Dermott Brereton talk about Cyril Rioli being the most talented player he's seen? It would have been funny if he weren't so serious. Apparently Cyril played on Monday. Could have fooled me.
Anyway, our boys have GWS this weekend, and if they play anything like they did on Monday (except for those bloody third quarter fade outs) then we should be 2-0. A nice start.
Now, how excited should we be getting after round one? There's two schools of thought. No doubt some cats fans went nuts on Tuesday, talking premierships and brownlows and Kennett curses. Well hey, we missed finals last year, so why not gloat and enjoy the euphoria? My favourite thing to do was use the hashtag #fourthorn on social media to rub it in their faces. It will probably come back to bite, but right now it feels great.
Then there's the gently gently crew. It's round one guys, settle down. Yes, Dangerfield was good and it was an enjoyable win, but the third quarters are still an issue. Hawkins is still too slow. They still handball too bloody much. Danger won't play like that every week. Okay, we get it guys.
Let's keep the lid on for now. Best to be cautious, especially when we take a look at the enemy camps.
The Western Bulldogs. Fremantle players haven't seen that sort of scoring during Ross Lyon's entire tenure. I've been in touch with the doggies' seven fans. They couldn't be happier.
West Coast. Scored a whopping 166 on their way to a 10 goal win over the Lions. I'm tipping a 92/94 Grand Final rematch come season's end, with Geelong winning of course.
Meanwhile, some clubs had such a terrible start you almost felt sorry for them.
Collingwood weren't only done by 80 points, they lost Swanny for what could be forever and they were the only club outed for popping pingers during the offseason. Almost felt for them, and then remembered that it's Collingwood. We all have our weaker moments.
Richmond beat Carlton by only nine points. Apparently they still sang the song.
Adelaide lost to North Melbourne and then enjoyed the Danger show on Monday afternoon. It must have hurt.
GWS lost to Melbourne after blowing a 21 point lead at three quarter time. Even Jack Watts played well.
So yes, the season has started perfectly (except for bloody Vardy's injury. Seriously dude…) and the next few weeks look promising. The lid is on, but it shook slightly when fans belted out the song at the 'G on Monday.

Making The Switch: An American Woman's Journey To Islam
This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Rachel Martin.
KAREN DANIELSON: Islam is not about converting culture; it's about converting faith and spirituality and understanding. And I can still be American through and through even if I'm wearing a headscarf and even if I'm dressing in what might appear to be something foreign.
MARTIN: Karen Danielson converted to Islam three decades ago, when she was just 19 years old. Her experience is not as unusual as it may seem. Some 20 percent of American Muslims are converts, and they've come into the public eye recently. Two weeks ago, a Michigan woman, and a Muslim convert, was killed in fighting in Syria. And the alleged mastermind of the Boston Marathon bombing, Tamerlin Tsarnaev, was married to a Muslim convert. Leaving one religion for another can be a complicated process for anyone. But in the United States, converting to Islam can mean making some especially difficult personal choices - at least for some people - and that was the case for Karen Danielson. She was raised Catholic and then later became a Baptist and enrolled in a Baptist college where she picked up the Quran. Karen Danielson is our Sunday conversation.
DANIELSON: I had taken a Quran with me because I had chosen my missions to be the Middle East. And I was planning on going to the Arab world.
MARTIN: As a Christian missionary.
DANIELSON: As a Christian missionary. And during my free time at the college, my first year, I began reading the Quran and it struck many chords in my heart. And so I became a Muslim.
MARTIN: When you discovered the Quran and you found inspiration in that book, you could have taken that and left it at that, left it as perhaps a dimension of your own spirituality. Why did you decide you wanted to convert and live a life as a Muslim, which would require changes to how you lived, changes to your culture that you had grown up with?
DANIELSON: What made me believe is I had a prayer. I sat in my dorm by myself and I kneeled on the ground and I picked up the Quran. And I said, God, if this is what you want me to follow, it better be easy for me. You know, I can't have any doubt. And I put my head down in prayer and I began crying. And I lifted my head up and I felt calm and at peace and cool. And that was my sign. So, and I just moved forward knowing that the Quran was going to be my guide.
MARTIN: What was your family's reaction when you did tell them?
DANIELSON: I think the biggest problem with them didn't really occur until they saw me dressing with the hijab on.
MARTIN: This is the head scarf that Muslims use to cover their heads.
DANIELSON: Right. This is when they got very concerned. And when I introduced them to my husband, who is Palestinian, again, they were more concerned. Even at one point my mom had kicked me out and said don't ever come back to this home again dressed that way. I never want to see you like this. But I kept calling her and I did that because I discovered in Islam that the duty to parents is very important. And then eventually, as the birth of my first son took place, my mom opened up, came into our home.
MARTIN: What were the public perceptions to how you were then living your life? I mean, you had friends, I imagine, a community, and one day you are Karen Danielson, wayward Catholic who does not wear a headscarf and then, you know, another day you are a devout Muslim woman who wears hijab.
DANIELSON: It was a really difficult time. My closest friend, she tolerated me up until my wedding day and then just didn't show up for my wedding day, which was, you know, a big blow because none of my family members showed up either. So, I kept looking at the door, is somebody coming, and nobody came. That was a difficult thing.
MARTIN: What about public reactions? Did people treat you differently?
DANIELSON: I had the gamut of reactions, depending on what was in the news, I guess you could say. So, in the '80s, it was, like, what are you wearing, you know, and aren't you hot in that and, you know you're an American, now you don't have to dress like that anymore, to go home, you sand n-word. Nine out of 10 times I can contain myself but that 10th time, I, you know, I had to turn around and respond like, you know, where do you want me to go? This is my home. There were some scary times as well. I remember after 9/11 - I'm from the Bridgeview community here in Chicago in the southwest suburbs. We were under attack. There was a mob forming outside our neighborhood, outside the mosque neighborhood. And the police asked us to stay in our homes and we couldn't leave because they were marching at our - excuse me. It was a difficult time. But I did receive some of the most beautiful phone calls: we know you can't go out. Can we go and buy you a loaf of bread or a gallon of milk? What does your family need? A woman drove up into my driveway and opened her trunk and - total stranger - and her trunk was full of flowers. And she's like, I just want to deliver these flowers to Muslim homes. Could you point some out for me? She gave me a small pallet of flowers and that was amazing. You know, and that shows how beautiful America actually is. It was what sustained us through those times, knowing that there were people who did not hate us.
MARTIN: Obviously, after the Boston bombings, it emerged that the older of the Tsarnaev brothers, Tamerlin, had married a white Christian woman who had then converted to Islam for him. What was your response when you first heard that? Do you just zone out these news headlines?
DANIELSON: I just felt totally sorry for this woman because I knew the media was going to have a field day with her, and they did. And it was really sad. And I just pray that God, you know, keeps her patient and strong. I purposely did not follow every news clipping about her. I don't like the stereotype. I don't like to be grouped in that stereotype. I've had people come up to me, say things to me like you're not supposed to be driving a car. What are you driving a car for? Your religion forbids you to drive a car. And I'm like what? You don't know what you're talking about. That's the furthest thing from the truth. You don't have any clue. And I have met women who weren't Muslim and they've married a Muslim man and they've ended up converting. But it's a rare bird who just does it for her husband's sake.
MARTIN: We talked a little about the resistance that your immediate family and your friends had when you converted. I wonder what the response was from the Muslim community.
DANIELSON: They look at American converts as something quite utopian-like and amazing. You know, oh my God, you accepted this religion coming from such a distant cultural background. And so that's why I think converts tend to form support groups 'cause we really need each other. And so we have to support each other and direct Islam to become part and parcel of the American scene, not just this foreign element in America.
MARTIN: What's your relationship like now with your family?
DANIELSON: Both my parents have passed. My father passed over 10 years ago, and he was quite proud of me. And my mother as well was very proud to have me as her daughter and would ask me to read Quran to her and pray for her when she was going through her illness. In regard to my brother and my sister, I have a somewhat cordial relationship with my brother and a very distant relationship with my sister. But there's still hope.
MARTIN: Karen Danielson. She converted to Islam 30 years ago. Karen, thanks so much for talking with us.
DANIELSON: You're welcome. Thank you for having me.

NEW DELHI: Batsman Joe Root has backed Alastair Cook to remain as England skipper, hailing him as a "brilliant leader" despite the team's woes on their current tour of India.
Root, widely tipped to succeed Cook when the veteran skipper does make way, played down talk that he was ready to take the helm by telling reporters he was happy with his role in the team.
Cook's future has been called into question after he admitted just before the tour that he could quit at the end of the five-Test series and that he was finding it hard to be apart from his family for long stretches.
After drawing the first Test, England suffered heavy defeats in the next two matches and must win their next contest in Mumbai to have any chance of saving the series. But regardless of the outcome, Root played down the prospect of a change in leadership after the team return home in time for Christmas.
Alastair Cook ready for spin Test against Virat Kohli's India
"I think he is pretty set on captaining for a few years to come and I hope he does because I think he is a brilliant leader and I've really enjoyed playing under him," said Root.
"I'm quite happy with the role I'm playing at the moment and you want to do what is right for England and the side.
"And genuinely, honestly, I think he is the right man. Hopefully, we get these results we want in the last two games and we can put right what has been quite a frustrating last couple of weeks," he added.
After becoming a father for a second time last month, the 31-year-old Cook admitted that he found the long England tours a wrench, while insisting he remained deeply proud of captaining his country.
England to put their feet up before fourth Test
The left-handed opener, who recently overtook Michael Atherton's record of 54 Tests as England captain, no longer plays limited-overs cricket but has been a permanent fixture in the Test side for the last decade.
Despite his team's stumbles in India, Cook's own form has held up and he scored his 30th Test century in the opening match.
Root, who is himself averaging nearly 50 in India, acknowledged that Cook may be missing his family but insisted he was coping well and that other batsmen had to step up to the plate.
Jennings, Dawson called up by England
"You could put a lot of blame on Cooky but actually it is the responsibility of the batters to make those big scores," he said.
The fourth Test begins in Mumbai next Thursday ahead of the final match in Chennai which begins on December 16.

December 11: This Day in The Bold and the Beautiful History
Friday, December 11, 2015 – Episode #7225
Ridge confronts Thomas, in front of the electrical panel that nearly cost Ivy her life. Caroline watches as Ridge plays back what Thomas did. So you make a play for a girl who is already involved with someone else, whether she likes it or not.
Thomas wonders if they shouldn't be coming together for Ridge and Caroline's baby's sake.
Donut eating police detective arrives at the hospital. He says that Steffy Forrester is just the woman he is looking for.
Next on The Bold and the Beautiful
The Restraining Order
The doctor checks over Ivy. She can't go home today, but soon, if he knows she has the right person looking after her. She does, Wyatt promises. The doctor leaves.
Ivy agrees with the doctor. Knowing she's coming home to Wyatt has made a huge difference to her recovery. Liam arrives. He is surprised that Ivy is concerned about Steffy.
I was pushed Ivy defends. Liam defends Steffy. Are you implying I was holding a rock over her head? Wyatt says there seems to be a recurring pattern here. Pushing me into that panel? She was supposed to keep people away from it.
Liam can defend Steffy as much as he likes but Steffy is dangerous, Ivy maintains.
Steffy arrives and Ivy backs away and tells Steffy to stay away from her. Steffy is shocked that Ivy is afraid of her. vy can't look at Steffy. Steffy is thrilled how far she's come. Steffy feels terrible about everything. She tells them the panel has been repaired. She will never have to go through a terrible accident like that again.
No she won't detective XXX states as he enters eating a donut. He's there to see Steffy. Steffy wants to know why he's looking for her. he delivers a temporary restraining order against Steffy filled by Ivy Forrester.
Steffy is horrified. Liam and Steffy are stunned. Wyatt stands by Ivy.
Steffy has to stay 100 yards away from Ivy at all times; including the workplace. She breaches it and Steffy goes to jail. Ivy can go to Forrester, it is Steffy who can't, since the order is against her, the detective informs Steffy. It lasts until the case is concluded.
Steffy says this is so messed up. Ivy tells her she is afraid of her. Steffy says this was an accident. How can she do her job if she can't be in her office? Steffy loses it and is warned not to go any closer to Ivy by the detective.
Liam tells Ivy that she is mistaken about this situation. Steffy wants to forget about the restarting order. Ivy says she can't bring Aly back from the dead, she is just protecting herself from more accidents that happen around Steffy.
Steffy is irate that Ivy has banned her from going to Forrester. That's her company. Ivy can't do this. I just did, Ivy tells her.
Steffy Fills Ridge In
The panel is fixed. Steffy, Ridge and Caroline are reviewing the repairs with Jake and the electrician. They are going to give the building a once over. Steffy basically tells them this never should have happened in the first place. Jake and the electrician leave.
Ridge asks about Steffy's tone with Jake and the electrician. Steffy says the panel should have been fixed a year ago and what happened to Ivy wouldn't have happened. Ridge asks exactly what did happen with Ivy.
It was just her and Ivy right? Ridge tells her that she can tell him anything. Steffy admits she pushed Ivy but not on purpose. Ivy got in her face because Steffy told Wyatt that Ivy had been making out with Thomas.
Steffy tells them what happened. Caroline suggests she talk to Carter. But Steffy has a plan to alleviate any liability to the company by heading to the hospital to tell Ivy how bad she feels.
Ridge Pulls Thomas into Line
Ridge thought Thomas had grown up. He always has to go after the woman who's taken. Thomas says he bonded with Ivy after pulling her out of the way of the falling light. Ridge is bothered by Thomas making a play for the girl who was already with someone else. And she has to be interested, because he's Thomas Forrester, Ridge goads. It's going to stop, Ridge tells his son.
Thomas doesn't get what the big deal is. He can't believe Thomas thinks it's terrible that Ridge thinks he doesn't care what women want. Ivy and Wyatt are only dating. There is not ring.
Caroline is disgusted that Thomas hit on Ivy while Wyatt was out of town.
Ridge calls him a petulant little boy. A man doesn't move in on a girl just because she is alone for one night. Thoams asks what really is going on here. Ridge is so angry and he doesn't think this is about Ivy. How often does he have to apologize for hitting him, and apologizing for Charlotte.
This should be a happy time for him Thomas says. Focus on the baby you're having. Stop dwelling on the past. There is an innocent life growing in Caroline. That should unite them. Shouldn't they come together for that baby's sake. No Ridge yells. Work on yourself and respecting women first Ridge says; then on uniting our family.
The two of them yell at each other. Thomas wants to know why Ridge is so angry at him all the time. You want to Know Ridge asks, I'll tell you. Caroline stops them. Families forgive Thomas says as he leaves. Caroline tells Ridge that was too close. You have to stop losing it on him like that. Focus on the baby Caroline begs. She hugs Ridge.

Quinn didn't push me down the stairs but if you would have kept her away from me like you promised I wouldn't have been near the stairs in the first place, Hope tells Wyatt.
Wow. Wyatt says – so you're blaming me now…
You should have protected me Hope yells at Wyatt. And all I get is a restraining order you served yesterday after I was in the hospital. Wyatt asks her to tell her she's not leaving him right now.
You promised you would keep her away from us. Wyatt yells he thought that he had it handled. Wyatt doesn't know what else he could have done.
Hope asks him if he's not sick of wondering what Hope is really thinking and feeling. Yes he says. Its just going to keep happening Hope says. Hope tells Wyatt that they both know they are only married because his mother engineered it. No, Hope Wyatt says. The reason we're together is the same as the one why you're talking about leaving me right now. You always want what you don't have Wyatt yells at his wife. Hope leaves the room.
Hope comes back dressed to go out. She is trying to withdraw from a conversation that neither of them are ready to have. No one made you marry me Wyatt says. What do you want form me Wyatt yells. He loves her. This wouldn't be so difficult is she didn't love him too. Hope leaves.
Hope goes to her mom's house where she relives her accident. Liam finds her there. They hug.
Quinn Is Left Alone to Grieve
Liam walks into Quinn's loft unannounced. Deacon slept on the couch Quinn notes. Hope will be fine but not the baby Liam says. Quinn says that baby was my family, my flesh and blood. Everyone keeps forgetting that Quinn tells him. Liam tells her what no one is forgetting is that Quinn is the reason the baby won't be born.
Quinn says she didn't push her. It doesn't let her off the hook for her role in the sequence of events that played out. Quinn tells him to go to hell.
Did anyone think of you today Liam says. He cares about his brother and he isn't in a place to deal with Quinn right now. You need therapy or medication.
When Hope walks out on Wyatt it will be your doing not mine Liam says. Quinn believes incorrectly that Hope and Wyatt are probably bonding over this loss – their marriage will be stronger.
Liam says that Hope loves Wyatt but its cost her too much. Hope will do anything to keep Hope out of her life. The baby was the only think keeping Hope with her son since finding out what Quinn did in Paris. Liam is not the one depriving Wyatt of what he wants most in life. Liam leaves.
Wyatt stops by the loft. Open the door if you want to see me again he says. Since your hiding I guess I don't have to tell you anything. Nothing you want to say to me Wyatt asks his mother.
Quinnsays shes so sorru – she shouldn't have been there. Why did you want to raise a kid all by yourself Wyatt asks her. Quinn says she didn't . She's much to selfish for that. I thought you would be the love of my life.
Quinn tells him his wife need him rifht now – he should be at home. Wyatt tells him other he isn't wanted at home right now.
Ivy Worries About Her Place in Liam's Life
Ivy and Aly talk about Hope at Forrester Creations. Ivy wonders if Hope still thinks of Wyatt as home.
Aly admits to feeling awful about certain thoughts. Hope only stayed with Wyatt for the baby. Ivy says that she couldn't stay with a man only because of her child. So Ivy wants to believe was with Wyatt because she loves him…

One of the things I love about Eastwood is the ease with which I can actually see my neighbors. They're not virtual, we don't "friend" each other on Facebook. They stop by, on purpose or by happenstance, and I see them while out gardening or while sitting on our open porch.
Yesterday morning, Margaret McVicker stopped by to show me her new book, Did You Know? More History And Memories of Eastwood. I asked to read it, thinking it would take me a couple weeks. Oh no. I simply could not put it down. So I finished it this morning.
Margaret writes with an engaging, down-to-earth style that is a perfect reflection of the community she loves. She covers a good number of topics, such as fires, home deliveries, trains and unusual houses, to name a few.
One of my favorite sections is the "How Times Have Changed" chapter toward the end of the book. While there are plenty of Eastwood residents who remember watching coal shoot the chute into the basement, there are many more who have no idea what life was like on a daily basis. This section makes me grateful for the good new days, despite the fact that technology has brought social isolation along with not having to mind a wringer washer.
I have often harped on the importance of maintaining our built history – buildings such as the Wittigs Ice Cream (former Steak & Sundae) building that give us a sense that we are here, in Eastwood, and not just anywhere.
But far more interesting is the remembered history in books like this one, comments on this blog (see "You haven't lived in Eastwood if you…") and, perhaps more importantly, the older people in our midst who won't tell you if you don't ask questions like…
- Do you miss the trains?
- Did you ever play in the mucks?
- Where's the smallest house in Eastwood?
- What were ice boxes like?
- How did the Paine Library catch fire?
You can buy this book from Margaret by contacting her directly.
I can't think of a nicer gift you can give someone who lives in or has lived in Eastwood. Even if that's you!

Event detail
CS Seminar: Closing the Loop on Secure Systems Research
Seminar | February 21 | 4-5 p.m. | Soda Hall, 306 Soda Hall - HP Auditorium
Amit Levy, PhD. Candidate, Stanford
Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS)
Secure system design should be guided by two principles: (1) system security should not impede third-party developers, who are often the main source of innovation, and (2) systems that secure third-party extensions also improve security by reducing the amount of specially-privileged first-party code.
Unfortunately, very few systems today adhere to these principles. This is not merely a result of poor system building. It is hard to design highly extensible systems that are both secure and useful. Moreover, the research community often fails to evaluate novel designs under real-world usage by actual practitioners. As a result, many promising research approaches remain difficult to adopt in practice.
I'll describe Tock, an operating system for microcontrollers we designed with these principles in mind. I'll discuss how we continuously evaluate Tock by engaging with practitioners, and how lessons from practitioners have fed back into the system's design.

Joe Lynch has always been a fan first and a filmmaker second, which is why he's such a popular figure among us genre nerds. He's one of us, and he makes movies that cater to our tastes because he shares them. His latest effort Everly is a claustrophobic action thriller which doesn't offer much in terms of uniqueness; but what it lacks in originality it makes up for in fun, violence and Salma Hayek's cleavage.
Everly, in name and titular character, stars Salma Hayek as a prostitute holed up in an apartment after agreeing to co-operate with the authorities. Unhappy with her betrayal, her old pimp puts a bounty on her head, which sends many cartoonish assailants her way. Convinced that death is inevitable, Everly must survive long enough to get money to her mother and daughter before her time is up.
Everly takes place in an apartment during the course of one night. Christmas Eve to be exact. Right away, Die Hard springs to mind; and rightly so because it wears the influence of the 1988 classic on its sleeve, along with John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) and Takeshi Miike's Ichi The Killer (2001). Joe Lynch himself has admitted that it's his love letter to such movies; thus making it a dream come true for a guy who grew up wanting to emulate his heroes.
Homages aside, Everly, is more than just a potion of favourite films concocted in the cauldron of a fanboy wizard; with innovative action sequences and an awkward action heroine who adds emotional depth to a character that could have worked as a generic bad ass, Everly manages to carve its own niche in action cinema.
The villains of the film comprise mostly of gangsters and prostitutes, but it's a man named Sadist and his goon, The Masochist, who leave an impression. When they show up, Everly takes a diversion into the realms of Takashi Miike inspired torture porn: it's an unexpected shift in tone and makes for an unsettling few minutes, showing that Joe Lynch isn't prepared to abandon his horror sensibilities quite yet.
Everly takes place in one room for its entirety, only leaving to stray into the corridor for a couple of scenes. To avoid staleness, Lynch provides us with a wide array of colourful characters, differing action scenes and various camera shots to ensure nothing is ever repeated.
Salma Hayek is as excellent as ever, bringing emotional depth to a character who could have been one dimensional and still delivered. The core theme of Everly is a mother fighting for a better life for her family, and that's what gives it an emotional centre amidst the guns, swords, assailants and chaos.
Everly is the first true Joe Lynch movie: Wrong Turn 2 (2007) and Knights of Badassdom (2013) were director-for-hire jobs full of enthusiasm, but this is the first film he can call his baby. Co-written with Yale Hannon, Lynch has finally made a full feature that's completely his, and it's a winner. Everly is a film with a simple premise which delivers everything a good R rated action movie requires. If you want a gun toting bad ass who's easier on the eyes than John McClane, then Everly could be your new Christmas action heroine. 8/10

CEREC machines are revolutionizing the way patients receive ceramic tooth restorations. Standing for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics, a CEREC machine allows Dr. Zachary Allmand to construct, produce, and insert completely customized ceramic restoration materials at the point of treatment – or more simply, right in the dental chair.
This significantly reduces the amount of time you have to wait if you need any sort of ceramic dental procedures performed in order to restore your smile to its former beauty. Instead of coming into Monon Family Dental, having molds of your teeth made for crowns, or having teeth measured for veneers, then waiting a few weeks for those products to arrive, it can now all be done in one single appointment.
The way the technology works is actually pretty impressive.
Dr. Zachary Allmand begins by taking 3D pictures of your mouth to analyze your ceramic dental needs. Then, the CEREC machine creates a virtual model of your mouth and helps the doctor create a reconstruction or veneer right there next to you in the chair. After the ceramic materials are ready to go, the CEREC machine send the information to a milling machine inside the dental office. It takes between 6 – 15 minutes to create different ceramic materials, based on their difficulty.
Then, Dr. Zachary Allmand inserts the ceramics into your mouth and you're ready to go!
If you have any questions about this process or want to schedule an appointment to have ceramic dental work done with our CEREC machine, call us today at 317-810-9285.

Tattoo | noun | An evening drum or bugle signal recalling soldiers to their quarters.
'a military tattoo takes place with clockwork precision'
Our story begins almost seven decades ago and had humble beginnings. It was inspired by a simple show called 'Something About a Soldier' performed in 1949 at the Ross Bandstand. The bandstand is still there, in Princes Street Gardens just below the Castle. Make sure to look out for it when you visit. Lieutenant Colonel George Malcolm was the first Producer of The Edinburgh Tattoo. He aimed to bring the Army's contribution to the Edinburgh International Festival to life. From a modest event in a park to today's global showcase at the Castle.

Perhaps the most noteworthy thing about the 10 films on this list is the abundance of directing newcomers on it. 7 of the movies were made by people who made their feature film directorial debuts, and while not all of these film-makers would go on to lasting greatness, it still makes for an impressive class of 1999. The other three films are made by two well-established masters and one quickly rising star. There's also, as usual, a lot of comedy on here. This shouldn't surprise you with my lists any more.
So far in this series of blog posts, I have chosen to largely abstain from making honorable mentions. This has largely been due to a stubborn adherence to principles; if one sets out to make a list of 10 films, one should not name 20 films. I have now realized that this is counter-productive to the aim of these lists, which is to give people an idea of what movies I like.
With that in mind, here are some 1999 films I really like that didn't quite make my list. Honorable mentions, if you will. In alphabetical order:
Arlington Road, Beyond the Mat, Bringing Out the Dead, Girl Interrupted, The Green Mile, In China They Eat Dogs, Magnolia, Office Space, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Toy Story 2
Now on to the list proper. As usual, I'm going by IMDB's year of release.
10 – EYES WIDE SHUT (Stanley Kubrick)
"No dream is ever just a dream."
Equal parts nightmare sightseeing tour through New York City and meditation on infidelity, Stanley Kubrick finished off his career in great fashion with Eyes Wide Shut. Impeccably designed and shot – as is to be expected from Kubrick – and with one of Tom Cruise's best performances in the lead, this film is also helped by having a strong story, one that might seem simple and straight-forward on paper but that reveals more layers with each watch.
9 – THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT (Daniel Myrick & Eduardo Sánchez)
"I'm afraid to close my eyes, I'm afraid to open them."
While this movie didn't invent the found footage genre of film (Cannibal Holocaust from 1980 seems to be the agreed-upon originator), The Blair Witch Project popularised it, paving the way for films like REC, Cloverfield, Paranormal Activity and many others. When I first watched it at home alone one night as a teen, it had me rattled to the core. Even today, it remains a highly effective horror film by making us fear what we can't see, rather than throwing a monster right in our faces. A picture might say more than a thousand words, but in horror, so does a sound that shouldn't be there.

Month: April 2009

So, this past weekend had us driving to Athens and Winder for some more bike racing. Saturday was Ft Yargo for a pre-ride and post Xterra excitement. Mostly just me getting an Xterra race shirt which features a picture of yours truly on it. I hear they are going for $60 on ebay already so pick one up while the prices are still relatively low. Saturday night was a trip to Athens (where we stayed) to watch the Athens Twilight Crit. The crit was cool, same as usual – 'cept this time there wasn't quite as much beer and not near as much walking around. After little sleep, and a longer-than-expected commute, I was a little late getting to the race. I had about a five minute warmup and a sick stomach from stuffing down poptarts and muffins an hour earlier. Oh, and I had a frozen Jimmy Dean sausage biscuit also. Read about that little dietary secret in the Carmichael training systems book. Late to the line, absolutely and competely in last place on the start out of 26 finely tuned racing machines. Pick my way up into the top ten and have to fight off a late bloomer in the closing minutes of the race. I beat him, but he made me hurt. Nothing like reaching your MHR after 2.5 hours of racing and holding it there for 3-5 minutes. Well, no podium for me and Tally was calling my name. Me an the 'ol lady headed out before the white wave was over. We didn't get to see our boys finish, but we got the updates on the road. I hated leaving early, but it sure was nice to be home at 6:30 (they got back at 9:30). After half sleeping through work all day, I finally got a chance to see the results posted on the goneriding website. Not too bad. My lap times weren't consistent, but they consistently fell off as many others did. I am starting to recognize some of the names in my class and seeing how I beat them sometimes and they get me sometimes. Looks like everyone is picking up the pace since Macon, except for me. I am pretty sure my problem is the lack of rest leading up to the race and some very poor nutrition choices. With better planning and more rest, I really hope that I can serve it up to some my middle-of-the-packers at the next race. All in all, I am happy with it and very proud to be competing at this level. As for the others, well, BW looked to really be putting in a good fight on the first lap. I think his mind was writing fitness checks from Donald Trump's/Ryan Woodall's (depending on your own interpretation) account; unfortunately his legs and lungs were trying to cash them at his bank. He will have to recap the race, since I wasn't there. BJS dished on his blog about his race. Here is the recap of BJS's race – taken from the wonderful Big Jim Blog (since he refuses to write on here)…"Then there's my race. No doubt I had become spoiled after winning the first two races in this series. I may have been a little overconfident (but I don't think so). I knew I was in trouble during my warm-up. The legs felt really tired (not a good sign). I figured they would come around near the end of the warm-up but they never did. So I line up, Dave yells go and we're off. I had a horrible start. In the woods about 5th place. I figure if I can just keep the leaders in sight that I'd be OK, but I just wasn't feeling it on this day. I lost sight of a couple of the guys. Then, of course, I get mixed up with the slower guys in the classes that went off before me. I road clean, but again the legs just didn't feel fast. When I crossed the line I had no idea where I placed. I was very disappointed in my race and my effort. When it was all said and done I got 3rd out of 19 guys. If this was a Florida series race I would have been very please, but considering this is GA where the competition if nothing like FL, I felt let down."
Just remember: fast is fun, slower is faster, it's all chicken but the bone, lips on my belly, good food and good times.
Look at me!
Gassed and sky rockets

The remainder of the intervals go somewhat similar, with different triumphs along the way. There was an explosion of power at the end of one of the two minute reps; an out-of-the-saddle full bore sprint – impressive. It was BW making sure he got his notch for the day. BJS won a couple, of course, complaining all the while that he "isn't feeling it today". The WB gave it an all out attempt; I mean all out. He attacked and put 75 yards on us, before BW decided that he wasn't going to let that happen. Another one for BW, as he shut it down with 5 seconds remaining. The surprise appearance of the Mac stunned us all. I think it was the WB who was the most affected by his company though. It started going south immediately as the Mac shows up mid interval, and barks some orders to the WB as he passes by. The Mac, just sat in, did his work, made his deposits at the bank and just got a little bit faster. O, he also rode us all back to our trucks, so he could get in the extra miles. As for myself, I realized that 20mph on a single speed is hard to maintain. An interesting note though: Going north (against the head wind) down at the bottom by the lake, I was able to ride with the boys, and even beat them a couple times. Going south (nice tail wind) I was getting dropped because I didn't have enough gear. There appeared to be about a 4mph difference, depending on which direction you went.
All in all, these things are getting fun. The first few interval days hurt; mentally and physically. They start to come around though, and really become fun – in a sick way. But, whatever you do, don't start doing them now (if you race against me).
Good grief, frowning is the new smiling
Pissed on my Sidis
Did a road ride yesterday, I was on the bike for about 5 hours, hoping for a vision quest. All I did was piss on my Sidis. It was somewhere in the 3.5 hour mark, I had to piss so I go into the park bathroom and start. People who don't ride ask me, "doesn't that hurt your junk?" Never thought it did, but after yesterday, I think my junk found a way to revolt. Here is what happened.
Riding inside and outside of myself
(Almost) Dead Rabbits
So I stayed the course but I did tap the brakes when one of the bunnies looked over his shoulder with a WTF cartoon face.
Something about the look said "not on Easter buddy." Most of them made it to the side of the road but one of them checked down with some redirection. As I passed over him I cringed and waited for the bump – the tell-tale sign of road kill. In a flash I was clear, no bump – no kill. Some would take this post as sign of sleep deprivation. I just say it's a sign that things work out. I hope I see all of the gang at BC this weekend.


text: Just because radicals rarely win sufficient power to implement their agendas does not mean that they labor in vain, for it is without a doubt that — when widely heard — their voices serve to move the mainstream center in their direction. Thus, for example, it has been in the United States that leftist radicals have moved consensus ever leftward from their violent beginnings in the strikes and bombings of the early 1900s and beyond. This also is today's right wing is trying reverse this pattern. It would be unwise to discount heir influence, despite their recent losses. After all, left-radicals skated quite a long time to see their views affect the mainstream and its choices.

Isn't King Coaster a brand, therefore it shouldn't be possible to mess with the colors? For that reason, the statue of the guy is one of the few scenery assets where the lack of flexicolor is a legit design decision that can actually be defended. Although, come to think of of; It could just be another victim of the notorious white texture screw-up that they somehow manage to pull off in every single update. [big grin]Please give King Ghoster a colored friend!!
I'd like to point out that we have 3 variations of King Coaster that are all mainly white with a tiny bit of red, a solid gold King Coaster, and another King "ghoster" that is solid white. Obviously there are differences between the 5 versions of king coaster, but the fact that 4 of them are mainly white is a bit odd, don't you think? Its so colorless and boring [tongue]
I understand if the other entertainers are a bit too complicated to give some additional colors too, but it would seem a bit easier for the devs to add a few color choices to King Coaster, especially since we already have variations that are so similar maybe? I mean why are there 4 versions of the same color and only 1 other is gold? I wish there were some statistics showing how often people use the gold entertainer. At least give us a few choices for King Ghoster to be orange, blue or green, maybe even black, as he seems like the most simple/plain entertainer to give some color too, and it would really help mix up some variety there [up]
I'd also like to state that, as the main mascot of this game he looks very much like a baseball to me, and I wonder why nobody else sees it (lol) if hes a "planet" shouldn't he be blue or any other color besides the moon? Out of all the entertainers hes not my favorite, but maybe if he had some color variety it would make him more useful [yesnod] so, yeah adding extra colors for King Coaster is a must!
We do not need more than a few colors. Imagine a set of 6 colored king Ghosters and a set of 4 "planet" monarchs! There could be Mother Earth, Mars The Jester, A Dictator Sun, and Black Hole Knight ! Each with a different hat/crown and colored "coaster sash"
The whole point is to just add a little color and variety to the entertainers I mean its not a super big deal to the overall game, but the games pathing and the staff that walk on them are very important. King ghoster is a great design to add color to our parks if only he didnt come in only white, hes a big lump of clay let us mold him into something our own!
I do agree that the King Ghoster should be colorable since that is just a cloth around the branded figure.

The hit Broadway musical Memphis makes its way to the UK for a run of performances at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London's West End. It takes to the stage following a monumentally successful appearance in New York, which saw it earn Tony Awards and critical acclaim, and clearly it is destined for the same reception on these shores, particularly when you take into account the successful cast and creative team that it has assembled.
Memphis will see Beverley Knight take to the stage in the role of Felicia, following up her work in another hit West End musical – The Bodyguard.
The stand-out musical Memphis focuses on a radio DJ named Huey, who works alongside the singer Felicia and the result could have a profound effect on US culture in the 1950s. In this early Civil Rights era setting we see how Felicia goes from a Tennessee clubs singer to a radio star when Huey, the white disc jockey, decides to play her work and introduce audiences to African-American music. It is based on the real life story of DJ Dewey Phillips and has captured the imaginations of audiences.
The show was first seen a decade ago in California and eventually made its way to New York where it received its Broadway premiere at the Shubert Theatre. It would be nominated for an array of Tony Awards and won four of them – Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Original Score and Best Orchestrations.
And now it comes to the United Kingdom with Beverley Knight in a lead role. The British performer is best known for her singer/songwriter career, which has seen her land a number of hit singles in the UK charts, including the likes of Greatest Day and Shoulda Woulda Coulda, and release albums like Soul UK in 2011, 100% in 2009 and Music City Soul in 2007, among others. She made her West End debut in 2013 when she took on the role of Rachel Marron in The Bodyguard at the Adelphi Theatre.
Audiences can pick up theatre tickets and see performances of Memphis at the Shaftesbury Theatre for dates beginning on Thursday 23rd October 2014 (previews from Thursday 9th October 2014).

A large part of Alconbury Weald will be developed on the brownfield former airfield of RAF Alconbury. The former airfield was occupied from 1938 to 1995, and came under the control of both the British and American Air Forces. The material remains on the site - its hangars, control centres, bunkers and huts - reflect a complex and fascinating history. The site also includes areas of historic farmland and a scheduled ancient monument in Prestley Wood.
With five designated heritage assets – which stretch from the remains of a 13th Century manor house to the reinforced bunkers of the 1980s Cold War tensions – the past will always be present.
Our Outline Application sets out our plans to ensure not just the historic significance of the site, but also details, alignments, structures and historical events which can be interwoven into the fabric of the development and that Alconbury Weald in turn can be integrated into the historic environment around it. We will do this by:
- Retention, conservation, re-use and interpretation of the site's designated heritage assets
- Preservation and archiving of artefacts, records and drawings related to the site's buildings and use
- Development of community history and archaeology projects which will ensure public involvement in the protection of the site's heritage significance

Last year I climbed Mt Fuji with my son, Pete. It's a fabulous over 50s climbing experience – to watch the sunrise from the summit and to see Fuji's arrow-head shadow spread over the surrounding landscape after dawn. Don't expect to be on your own though. Climbing Mt Fuji is a rite of passage for young Japanese and every day during the climbing season there will be hundreds if not thousands of enthusiastic young Japanese with limitless energy and massive mobile phone photo storage capacity. Among them, the expected groups of backpackers… and the occasional over 60s Westerner with a big grin on his (or her) face.
We arranged things ourselves, helped at the last minute by Pete speaking good Japanese. This isn't needed though if you know in advance how things work. The Climbing Mount Fuji section of the Japan-Guide.com site has all the information you need to plan your travel to Fuji by train and bus. If you have a Japan Rail Pass (expensive but highly recommended as it gives you huge flexibility on the amazing Japan train system), you only need to pay for the bus. This gets you to the start of the trail. Even if you are going on an organised tour, this research helps ensure you go on a track that suits your walking style and fitness.
The independent traveller then only needs to book the mountain hut to stay in overnight. Oh, the huts…the huts.You cannot avoid them as camping is prohibited. You have to have serious kit and mountaineering experience to climb outside the summer season. In summer, fit people can climb up and back in a day, but you have to climb through the night if you want to see the sunrise. I'd rather not.
To make a booking, you have to contact the hut directly. Here is the list of all huts and their contact numbers. Before you book a hut though, read up on how you get to the start of each trail, and decide how far you want to climb on the first day, and how far you are prepared to be climbing Mt Fuji in the early hours if you want to see the sunrise (as huge numbers of people do). Then call your chosen hut to book a slot. Note that I didn't say 'book a bed' or 'book a room'. Fuji Mountain Guides also offer a booking service for English speakers who find it hard to communicate direct, though they can book only a limited number of huts. They will also try to get you to pay for a guide, of course.
So, all ticketed and booked for a hut on the Fujinomiya trail, the steepest but shortest to the summit, we caught the Shinkansen from Osaka to Tokyo, getting off at Fujinomiya station. The next bus was in half an hour so we slouched and coffeed, then hopped on the small bus with a few other itinerant travellers. After sorting gear and dumping non-mountain things in a locker at the roadhead (station 5), we headed on up the trail, paying our 1000 yen fee on the way. The uphill started almost immediately, and from then on the only flat sections were at the huts.
The ground is rocky and dusty, so gaiters can help keep pebbles out of your boots, especially on the way down. Walking boots are certainly preferable to trainers if you want to avoid twisted ankles. Warm mountain clothing is essential, though you do see all sorts of inappropriate outfits. Climbing Mt Fuji is just a matter of going up and up though, and staying overnight at a hut means you don't have to rush. The views get broader as you climb, and it's hopefully a lovely cool day in Japan.
We arrived at our chosen hut and were allocated our space in the communal bunks. I put my sunglasses down at one stage and they disappeared, so beware the opportunist Fuji thieves. The hut didn't seem too bad though, if you are OK sleeping in your clothes and sleeping under duvet style covers that have been used by many people before you and will be used by many in the nights ahead.
We were given a simple meal and a small package with breakfast food to carry the next morning. Then we tried to sleep. Tried is the operative word. As the evening and night wore on, people kept coming and coming, and each group made lots of noise as they unpacked and settled in, and the space available to us became less and less. Eventually we realised that the space allocated was actually narrower than our shoulders. Lying on our sides was the only way to rest, as long as the person beside you did not move. The person beside me twitched and kicked whenever she slept. People snored everywhere. It was unbelievably awful, but in retrospect the memory is a part of the whole Mt Fuji climbing experience.
After many hours of this, and just 30 minutes' sleep, it was clear that some people had started to pack up to continue their climb. It made a lot more sense that staying and not sleeping, so we dressed and packed, turned on head torches and headed on up. We arrived at the top still in darkness, and walked round the crater edge to the east side where we joined hundreds of others as the sun began its gorgeous passage to create our day.
It was one of my life's great joys to sit there on a small ledge with my son and watch the sunrise from the rim of the Mt Fuji crater. Pete had brought eclipse-watching glasses so we watched the sun rise when everyone else had to give up. Then when the day was established, we wandered round the crater, stopping to watch the mountain's arrow shadow stretch over the plains below, bypassed the long queue to climb the last few metres to the highest point – who cares! – and finally headed on down.
Reunited with our street clothes at the 5th station, we had a meal and got on the bus back to the Shinkashen. Everyone on the bus slept the whole way to the train station so it was clear few people get sleep in the huts, and then we slept on the bullet train back to Osaka except to get those last glimpses of majestic Fuji slumbering over Tokyo, as the last of the cherry blossom petals fell.
If you don't want to arrange things yourself as we did, here are a few options: Exodus Travel, KE Adventure Travel, Inside Japan, Fuji Mountain Guides.

So many weeks.....
Sunny Winter Morning
Sometime during the past month it snowed. We haven't had a lovely, soft, snowed-in and no need to go anywhere storm in a long time. And there I was, piled up in bed with something akin to the flu, and not enjoying the snow experience one little bit!
So for three weeks I've not crocheted or knitted one stitch, nor spun a single twist, nor plied a single ply. Thank goodness for Janet Evanovich, Jennifer Crusie and Harry Potter!

They were signed shortly thereafter and began working on their debut album, Play Deep, which was released in 1985.

The Great Stone of Dol, a thirty foot tall fertility symbol, there since pre-Roman times and dedicated to the god, Saturn, had two small oval stones at its base. In 1093 Geoffrey Boterel was Count of Penthievre in Brittany living at Dol near the Great Stone. His brother, Alan Niger, had become Earl of Richmond in England. so they saw little of each other - just as well, since they'd been at loggerheads since childhood. Alan was actually nearby visiting his cousin, another Alan. These two decided to tweak Geoffrey's nose and steal one of the stones, thus insulting the god's malene
ss. But what should have been a relatively harmless prank turned nasty.
An alarmed retainer burst in on the Count to warn him soldiers were coming. It took time to arm Geoffrey's men and, by the time the Dol party got there,
the attacking squad had achieved its purpose.
With the stone being slowly borne away, the Alans now had to turn and fight.
Geoffrey Boterel reached his brother first, and attacked. Alan Niger had had not thought of inflicting
real damage, but had to defend against his brother's fury. In turn, he lost his temper. What should have been an equal match was
hampered by Geoffrey's rheumatism.
A flailing haymaker sweep was countered by a chop stroke from Alan to Geoffrey's elbow. "Disarmed, eh, Geoffrey?" The Earl chortled at his own joke but then the squad had to turn tail, dropping the stone, as Geoffrey's men swarmed forward to defend their stricken Lord. It proved impossible to haul their now unconscious Lord from his horse, so they led it back to the castle, a blood trail showing the way. The Count survived another three weeks until 24th August 1093 – and the stone was left where it lay.
It's still there, and you can read about it on the notice board

You can't spread it with a cough, sneeze or kiss, but workplace rudeness is still contagious, researchers say.
People who encounter rude behavior from co-workers are more likely to act rudely in later interactions, according to a recent University of Florida study.
Mistreated people are also more likely to feel as if others are treating them rudely, to which they respond with more rudeness, passing on negative emotions like a virus.
That means companies with one toxic employee may soon find others acting out too.
"Part of the problem is that we are generally tolerant of these behaviors, but they're actually really harmful," said Trevor Foulk, the study's lead author. "Rudeness has an incredibly powerful negative effect on the workplace."
Foulk and his team tracked 90 graduate students practicing negotiation with their classmates and asked them to rate their partners' behavior. Students who rated their initial partner as rude were more likely to be rated as rude themselves by later partners.
The findings were published last month in the Journal of Applied Psychology.
The study also found that rudeness, like cigarette smoke, has nasty secondhand effects: Participants who watched a video of a rude workplace interaction and then answered an email from a fictitious customer were more likely to be rude in their responses than people who watched a video of a polite interaction.
"That tells us that rudeness will flavor the way you interpret ambiguous cues," Foulk said.
Rudeness: Don't pass it on.
