Well, here is a request that was asked by e-mail. I already made a tutorial based on an otter drawn in a 'for kids' fashion. But unfortunately they wanted a lesson on "how to draw an otter swimming". So here it is, the very simple task to drawing an otter as it swims at the bottom of the water. The style of the otter is a bit different, but I still think that it captures everything the otter is, or supposed to be. These animals eat just about everything so if you have otters where you live, be sure to keep them away from ponds that are filled with farm raised fish. I have to go for now but I will be back later. Adios people and like always, have fun.

The recent return of six Missouri conservation agents from flood-damaged communities in Louisiana reminded me of the brave actions that goes on largely out of sight and out of the minds of most of us. Although Missourians probably have seen all sorts of Conservation Department staff standing side by side in their communities to sandbag levees and to clear ice-damaged trees from roads, I doubt people know that they're also helping in crises across the country.
It's one thing to read about a hurricane on the news and another to go into it. From one of the Missouri conservation agents who was part of a response team to Hurricane Gustav: "We were met with temperatures in the 90s, 100-percent humidity, torrential rains, no electricity and mosquitoes big enough to carry you off. There were trees down everywhere across power lines, houses, vehicles and roads." In some crises they've helped with search and rescue, while in others it has been to help keep the peace.
In the case of major western forest fires, our specially trained foresters have joined others from around the country to protect property and lives—and the woods themselves. I asked Mike Huffman, Forestry unit chief for the Conservation Department and one of the many Missourians who have played a role in this, about the experience.
"They may drop us into a wilderness area with food rations and water for a week with fires all around us," he said. "There's nothing like it for learning leadership. I had a crew of 19 people and had to get them out there, do the firefighting and get back home safely. We were all immersed, 24 hours a day, for several days at a time in a highly stressful situation."
"Our experience out west," he noted, "helps us back home in Missouri—for instance, when we set up emergency coordination teams of Conservation Department staff from all our divisions to help in the peak of the ice storm that hit Southwest Missouri in 2007, or to deal with floods that hit Ellington this year."
The federal government reimburses our state in many cases for help with emergency efforts. What the individuals who serve in these difficult, potentially life-threatening situations receive on a personal level, though, has nothing to do with economics. Conservation Agent Mike Abdon summed it up when he said, "the look of devastation and gratitude that poured from the faces of the citizens cannot be described in words, but will live on in my memory."

European Immunization Week – vaccination is a right and responsibility for all
Vaccines protect people of all ages from potentially serious diseases. On 23–29 April 2018, European Immunization Week (EIW) is celebrated across the WHO European Region to raise awareness of the critical role vaccines play in protecting public health, and to remind each person to do their part to immunize Europe.
Measles still on the rise
In 2016, 1 in 15 infants in the Region did not receive their first measles-containing vaccine. This failure of immunization programmes to reach every child, and of some parents to fully immunize their children, has put many at unnecessary risk of illness or even death when outbreaks occur.
Following a record low in 2016, measles has rebounded in the Region, causing over 22 000 cases in 2017 and already over 11 000 cases in January and February 2018. The largest current outbreaks are in France, Greece, Serbia and Ukraine.
To stop these unacceptable outbreaks and ensure measles can be eliminated from every country in the Region, everyone will need to do their part. Only if parents, health professionals, community leaders and immunization programme staff are committed to vaccination can they together achieve the high immunization coverage needed to protect everyone. This entails coverage that is high enough to ensure herd immunity for those who cannot be vaccinated because they are too young or immunocompromised.
Health authorities can help to sustain progress and build a healthier future for all by ensuring immunization programmes have sustainable funding and secured supplies of vaccines.
Beyond measles
Ensuring high immunization coverage and expanding vaccine access to those who are being missed are crucial parts of universal health coverage. Vaccines prevent a number of diseases, such as rotavirus, measles, rubella, poliomyelitis, whooping cough, hepatitis B and human papillomavirus. They also contribute to realizing national priorities linked to education and economic development, and to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
Breadth and scope of EIW activities
Nearly all countries in the Region will engage in EIW with various activities, from information booths in Germany to a volleyball tournament in Kyrgyzstan. EIW and World Immunization Week, which take place simultaneously, offer a global WHO-led platform for action with the engagement of countless actors. These include Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance; PATH; Rotary International; the United Nations Children's Fund; patient and parent organizations; national authorities; public health and research institutes; and many more.

The name Perdeblokke, refers to the horses that tilled the soils of the steep slopes that lie 200-220 metres above sea level on the slopes of the Constantiaberg mountain.
Since it was planted, the Perdeblokke has yielded top quality and a distinctly unique Sauvignon Blanc, which prompted the decision to produce this special label wine in 2005. It is only made in years of exceptional quality.
Bright and light in appearance, aromas of flinty lime zest fill the nose. The palate is full bodied, rich and creamy with concentrated fruit flavours. A fine mineral acidity forms the backbone of the wine as it concludes with a long fresh finish.
Drink now or enjoy for the next 5 years.

After a two-year hiatus the Chula Vista holiday parade named Starlight will return this year on a starry December night.
Saturday, Dec. 6 to be exact.
The 50-year holiday parade tradition since 1963 — interrupted in 2012 and replaced by Holiday in the Village hosted by the Third Avenue Village Association (TAVA) — has been resurrected for 2014.
"We were doing a multi-million dollar renovation of Third Avenue in 2012," said Anne Steinberger, marketing and communications manager for the city of Chula Vista about the parade's discontinuation. "Then council members Aguilera and Ramirez were looking for a way to bring the parade back, and they formed an ad hoc committee which succeeded with the Council approving $15,000 in seed money."
So now this year's holiday celebration is going to be two-for-one with both the parade and the Holiday in the Village events held the same day.
"Holiday in the Village will be held form noon to 5 p.m. with the parade at 6 p.m. going down the traditional route from G to E streets," said Steinberger.
"The Third Avenue Village Association is very pleased that the City of Chula Vista is bringing back the Starlight Parade for 2014," said Luanne Hulsizer, TAVA's executive director. "We look forward to being their partner as TAVA celebrates its third year of Holiday in the Village bringing pre-parade activity to Third Avenue."
"Rudy (Councilman Ramirez) and I started talking to people and organizations in the community and learned there was a strong desire to bring the Parade back, and there were local businesses who were happy to help sponsor it," noted Chula Vista deputy mayor Patricia Aguilar. "The end result is a concept that creates the opportunity for a full day devoted to celebrating Third Avenue."
Aguilar noted McFarlane Productions, which does Chula Vista's Harborfest, was hired as professional events coordinator to "help us bring the Parade back 'with a cherry on top.' "
"With Laurel's professional help we plan to add some new and exciting fun activities in association with the parade," said Aguilar adding there's been discussion of bringing in a snow machine to create a snow hill for kids to slide down in Memorial Park.
"And of course the parade will have the usual floats, marching bands, classic cars and an appearance by Santa himself," Aguilar said adding " Rudy and I working to bring the parade back has been a labor of love."
After a two-year hiatus the Chula Vista holiday parade named Starlight will return this year on a starry December night.

Fault diagnosis in unmanned aerial vehicles
- Fast binary decision algorithms enable real-time in-flight diagnosis
Fast and accurate decision making related to in-flight faults in unmanned aerial vehicles is essential if potentially catastrophic mission failure is to be avoided.
Fault Trees provide a diagrammatic description of the various causes of a specified system failure in terms of the failure of its components. Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is used to predict the failure likelihood of complex safety critical engineering systems. However, FTA is such a computationally intensive method that for large-scale systems, approximations are required.
The Department of Mathematical Sciences has developed an alternative computational method for real-time mission planning, based on Binary Decision Diagrams. This new method overcomes the inherent weakness of the FTA approach by performing the calculations exactly – and is much quicker – offering considerable advantages in efficiency enabling the technique to be used in new contexts.
The underlying work led to an EPSRC-funded project with BAE Systems and 10 other universities as project partners – NECTISE (Network Enabled Capability Through Innovative Systems Engineering). This project aimed to enable defence suppliers such as BAE to develop systems capable of responding to changing requirements in complex dynamically connected networks of supplier customer organisations.
The recognised importance of the Binary Decision Diagrams method led to its inclusion in the highly significant ASTRAEA (Autonomous Systems Technology Related Airborne Evaluation and Assessment) project that focussed on the technologies, systems, facilities, procedures and regulations to allow unmanned aerial vehicles to operate safely and routinely in civil UK airspace.
The research has raised awareness of the advantages of Binary Decision Diagrams, resulting in integration into major industrial trials and proprietary software products, including at BAE Systems.
Binary Decision Diagrams are used to support decision-making on system utilisation in real-time operation. For example, as component faults are reported or environmental conditions change, fast calculations can be performed to update the prediction of the probability of mission failure so that appropriate action can then be taken.
Unmanned aerial vehicles are being deployed in a wide range of contexts including observation, security, monitoring and law enforcement. The Binary Decision Diagram approach is being used to support the reconfiguration of missions that are at risk of failure due to changing conditions.
Commercial software companies such as ISOGRAPH, ARALIA and ITEM SOFTWARE now incorporate Binary Decision Diagrams in their proprietary packages for Fault Tree Analysis. The research therefore changed the awareness of another industry leading to new products and services.

Kath says
Awww thanks, Tina 🙂
Kristin says
Thanks so much for the video! I've never made or even had sweet potato fries before, but yesterday I picked up 2 sweet potatoes at the market with fries in mind. Now I know exactly how to make them. Thanks again.
Love your blog! By the way – I also ordered the 3 books on your reading list…can't wait for Barnes & Noble to deliver them. 🙂
Becca says
Another great video! Thanks for including "the husband." I'll be making these soon!
Rika says
lol! you guys are just too cute. thanks for the blogging!
Sami says
I just discovered the video section. . .
Hours of entertainment! Haha.
I'm going to make these today.
Rachel says
Thanks for the video. I have always wanted to make these. It looks so simple!
Mandy says
It's official… I'm IN LOVE with these! I never liked sweet potatoes when I was younger, but since adopting a healthier lifestyle for the past year or so I've been trying new veggies… this was my first sweet potato in a LONG time and it was AMAZING! I can't wait to try sweet potatoes in other ways now too! Thanks for the great recipe!
Kristen says
Wow, I need sharper knives :-).
Great video. Cutting raw sweet potatoes is always a struggle for me, so maybe it's the knives. I enjoyed the use of the word nubbins!! Haha.
Shannon says
Great video! I can't believe the sweet potato was that many more calories than Calorie King said. Gotta love those fries mmm –with lots and lots of ketchup 🙂
Sylvia says
I love sweet potato fries. I wish more places offered them! They are sooo delicious. I love them with ketchup or mayo! And your videos are great! I love them.
Cigar Bunker
I grew up eating a lot of sweet potato, but to this day have never had them prepared as fries. At a restaurant on Toronto recently I saw sweet potato fries served with battered fish (fish and chips) and was almost tempted to give it a try. Have you ever tried green plantain fries?
happy cooking
Vivi says
This is so cute! I love these videos! Can't wait to try this recipe – I've always wanted to!

The Bahamas Islands, located east of Florida USA, are an archipelago of more than seven hundred of the most beautiful islands in the world. The country of Bahamas has been dedicated for decades to the Travel Industry and have made these islands some of the most desirable for the tourists looking for great beaches.
Please visit our page on Bahamas Beaches
Picturesque Nassau the Capital of Bahamas
Facts on the Bahamas Islands
This is a friendly and beautiful country of about 700 islands, islets and cays. It means that Travel to Bahamas is something that has to be done many times in order to visit most of the important islands and sites.
Satellite view of the Bahamas Islands
Getting around when you Travel to Bahamas
Bikes and scooters
Because many travelers remain confined to their resorts, and I don't blame them, most sites on the islands remain unseen. For that a bike of scooter are the ideal way to visit the remote places, seldom visited by tourists, like remote beaches, caves and secluded coves. You can rent one of these means of transportation in any of the islands.
By boat in the Bahamas Islands
Island Hopping by boat is great. There are many marinas all over the archipelago offering all kind of yachts and smaller boats the anchoring and services desired. Once in any of the marinas, you'll find all kind of food, refreshments and recreation services. And Bahamas beaches are idyllic. Just imagine visiting one or two beaches a day.
Chartered boats are ideal for your Travel to Bahamas
Many companies offer the services of chartered boats of any sizes. This is very convenient for those that don't own a boat. Mostly all companies offer concierge and kitchen services besides the regular crew of captain and assistants.
Bahamasair the National Carrier of the Bahamas
By plane to the Bahamas Islands
Being the Bahamas a country of 700 islands, besides by boat, the only way to visit them all is by plane. All the islands have some kind of airport or some kind of runway. Many of them are unpaved. But they are enough for small planes to land.
This way of Island Hopping will let you visit more remote islands in less time. So, if you want to get out of the noise of Nassau – Paradise Island, Freeport or the All-Inclusive Resorts, this is a solution
Bahamasair is the main inter island air carrier of The Bahamas, but smaller carriers based out of Nassau offer charter services to the Out Islands. Many hotels and resorts also offer their own charter services.
Atlantis Resort in Paradise Island Bahamas
By Ferry
There are local ferries traveling between the islands. These services are perfect for tourists on a budget and are used by locals on a regular basis. Some government run ferries offer services between the island that are close. The same applies to those separated by greater distances.
Car rental
For those that would leave their resort for a while and are eager to see more of the Bahamas, nothing compares to a rental Car.
Major companies are all over and many local companies alike. It may be a little expensive for our standards, but it's worth the try. You'll feel free to go where you want and when you want.
Cruise lines on the port of Nassau Capital of Bahamas
Bahamas Weather
The weather for your Travel to Bahamas is moderated by the Gulf Stream, therefore it is warm all year round.
But the islands are cooler than the other Caribbean Islands, first due to their much northern latitude and also because it is sometime affected by the cold waves coming from the continent. The average temperature is 80 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit during summer and a 70 to 80 degrees in winter.
The islands are on the path of the Hurricanes and very well prepared for that, like we are in South Florida. The good thing about the modern technology is that we know with enough time if you should cancel your Bahamas Travel.

Spring Break is here! This year we decided to do a return trip to Hawaii. Reagan hasn't ever been to Hawaii but her older sister has. Of course, Sydney doesn't remember an ounce of it but that doesn't stop her from telling Reagan about how Hawaii is magical. Whenever we joked that we couldn't go on vacation for some reason, … Read More
Nap Time
We had to run to Target to stock up on swim diapers and sunscreen for the upcoming spring break in Hawaii. Reagan was being an unusually stubborn and whiney pain in the you know know what. When I suddenly noticed how peaceful things had gotten. What happened to Reagan? She had curled up under the shopping cart and fell asleep. … Read More
One of Reagan's favorite meals is "Cheese and Crackers". Its actually one of those Lunchable things but that's what she calls it. Her lazy parents just let her tear them open from time to time because we want her to eat something, anything. Still skinny!

Excel 2010: Using SUMPRODUCT Function
Excel SUMPRODUCT is one of the most used function. Because of it's versatility, it can be used in numerous ways. This function can handle array in a simple way, giving novices an option to use array without comprehending the structure of it. It can manipulate up to 25-30 arrays, requires list of array as argument; =SUMPRODUCT(array1, array2….). So you just need to specify range of array in your worksheet. Primarily it is used for adding and then multiply the values stored in array. This post will be putting some light on how to use this function in your spreadsheet.
Launch Excel 2010 and open a spreadsheet on which you want to apply SUMPRODUCT function. For Instance, we have included a spreadsheet, containing records of Item & it's respective price and number of products to be delivered, and corresponding charges as; Items, Delivery, Price, and Delivery Charges, as shown in the screenshot below.
Now we want to find out Total amount to be paid by the customers, including all the charges from every city. For evaluating total amount, old-school method can be used, but it would be hectic to write one. We will be using SUMPRODUCT function to evaluate the Total amount. We will start off with including row label Total Amount beneath the table and in it's adjacent cell we will be writing the formula.
For calculating total amount we will write formula like this;
The first argument in the formula is C2:D11, this marks up the location of array1, which contains Items & Delivery field, and the second parameter E2:F11 which contains items price and delivery charges.
For example we need this sort of calculation for desired result; (56*100)+(2*100) and so on. It will evaluate by, multiplying number of items sold with it's respective Prices and Delivery with its Delivery charges, as shown in the screenshot below.
Now we will be changing the value into currency value. From Home tab, under Number group, click drop-down button, and click Currency.
You can also check out previously reviewed Excel Functions; SUMIF, COUNTIF, VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP ,PMT, and LEN.

This book has been designed to lead you through the first steps of the shoulder arthroscopy. Offering a companion guide, its numerous illustrations and videos support the text and aid in comprehension.
The most common mistake in shoulder arthroscopy is to focus on the screen, whereas an external perspective is needed, though not always easy to achieve in practice. We recommend following the chronological order for the first techniques, which are then detailed one by one and can be read separately depending on the problem encountered.
These techniques, all of which were developed by the author in the course of 20 years of arthroscopic surgeries, are characterized by their simplicity. After having mastered these techniques, the reader will have the basis needed to evolve on his or her own.

This is what happens when Techland goes to the comic book store: we end up discussing what we picked up. This week, Graeme McMillan, Evan Narcisse and Douglas Wolk talk about Detective Comics #871, Batwoman #0 and the Superman Vs. Muhammad Ali reprint.
GRAEME: Now, more than ever, Batwoman is an artists' comic. With Greg Rucka out of the picture for the foreseeable future, what's left is a solidly-written (by artist J.H. Williams and partner W. Haden Blackman) comic that is nonetheless stunning, based purely on its visuals. Williams' art continues the style established by his previous Detective work – and maybe more so by the hardcover collection of the same? – but takes it further, somehow, and Amy Reeder comes up with pages that look just as good. I might actually prefer Reeder's work here, actually – there's something about the crispness in her line (or, more properly, inker Richard Friend's line) that really works for me – but the double-page spread where the two crossover with Batwoman and Kate kicking is just lovely to look at.
(More on Techland: J.H. Williams III on Batwoman and More)
Storywise, it's… eh. It's okay for a preview issue, I guess? I don't know, there didn't seem to be much there, to be honest, and I was left feeling pretty disappointed from that standpoint. It felt very short, and left me wanting more in the sense of "Is that IT?" instead of "That was so great, I can't wait for the next issue!"
EVAN: I was worried about Batwoman #0 from the writing perspective. I've known Haden Blackman mostly as a video game creative during his time at LucasArts. He's written comics and prose before, but this is probably the highest stake, highest profile writing he's done. The worry comes from watching too many people from outside comics get things wrong, but I think Blackman performs pretty well here.
He nails the particular economy of verbiage that comics requires. Lots of newcomers overwrite when they come to sequential writing, but the double narrative flows smoothly and the action's well-paced. Most importantly, he shows that he understands the characters without seeming overly fannish. I liked how he and Williams quickly delineated a trait that makes her stand apart from Batman, too. I hope that gets to play out in the regular book. They also had a tricky dance to do here, in terms of staying away from the Rucka/Williams stuff. But you get a sense of the backstory and the character dynamics pretty well without spelling everything out.
DOUGLAS: That's true. One of the things I really liked about the Rucka run was what we saw of Kate as a character–that she's attracted to both military discipline and being totally out of control, and that being Batwoman lets her do that–and even though we never see her speak as Kate here (the only words we see in the entire issue are Bruce's!), we still get that sense of that weird contradiction within her, which makes her very different from the rest of the Bat-family.
EVAN: Now, I know that the way I'm framing the division of labor may not be entirely fair, because Williams actually gets the lead writing credit. He's got other things to do, obviously, and he does them well. I was actually dreading the contrast between Reeder and Williams, because I figured it'd be really jarring. The two artists' work is really complementary: Williams' sharp, angular designs are more architectural where Reeder's palette and linework is softer and more spare. The combo makes me look forward to the ongoing run.
DOUGLAS: When I interviewed Williams a while back, he mentioned that each arc of the series is going to have its own look-and-feel–that's the sort of thing you're more likely to see with a writer/artist at the helm. I'm excited to see the forthcoming run–I love Williams' stuff, and Reeder's worth watching too. Still, this did feel very slim to me. Sixteen pages plus a little b/w preview of art from the forthcoming issue? That's not $2.99 worth.
(More on Techland: The Comic Book Club: "Batwoman: Elegy" and "Werewolves of Montpellier")
But yes, the side-by-side Reeder/Williams layouts are a nice idea to demonstrate how this series is going to go. Interesting that Reeder's going for a much more straightforward look than Williams' bat-form pages. It's also interesting to see how this connects with the other Batman Inc. books–the extensive detective work Bruce is putting into figuring out Batwoman's identity here, vs. his offhandedly mentioning that he worked out Mr. Unknown's identity over in Inc. (And what's up with the missing-hand motif? It's like we're in the second season of Arrested Development or something.) Nice to see Bruce as a master of disguise again, too…
Still, a lot of this plot could have been gotten around if Bruce had talked to Dick about the stuff that went on in Batman & Robin–Col. Kane showing up as Batwoman's "military liaison" pretty much seals the deal. (Except where would that story have happened in Kate's history, if she and her father are still on the outs following the Detective run? Oy. Continuity.)

Each morning sees some task begun, each evening sees it close; Something attempted, something done, has earned a night's repose.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) poet & educatormerton and i have been very busy in the studio - i recently started a series of memory quilts. i have to confess that i am quite preoccupied by the project. but that said, i am hopeful that it won't be too long before i find a rhythm and balance to my days where i will soon reconnect with my mouse medicine muse and the bloggyhood - until then i wish everyone a happy new year!
this series that is underway is a group of quilts that i'm making primarily from the shirts of a dear friend named jeff who died this fall. i first met jeff in 1979 when donita, one of my closest friends from college, brought him 'home' to texas (where we were living and where donita and i met in 1973) to introduce him to her family and friends. several years later they married. we remained close. in the early 1990s donita and jeff relocated to metro dc and settled into a house just a couple miles away from where my folks live - what a wonderful gift this was as now we had many opportunities for sharing our lives - we met up frequently either in metro dc or where f and i lived - connecticut and then cleveland.
a month before jeff died, i saw him while i was on a trip to metro dc to visit my mom. during that visit jeff was in the hospital, he was in good spirits and was looking forward to getting out of the hospital in a day or two. we were all hopeful that he was going to get stronger and beat the "weird infection" that he was battling - - or at least "an infection" was the prevailing theory about why he was ill from july through september.
there were still tests to come in, but in late september we had no idea that when the tests came back the news would be so grave. jeff was discharged home, however, after only a couple days he showed no improvement and was getting worse, so it was back to the hospital. while in the hospital, the rest of the test results came in - the news was dire - a diagnosis of stage four cancer - unknown primary location. the cancer was widespread and completely invasive - there was nothing that medically could be done. jeff was discharged home with hospice care - and one week after learning the diagnosis jeff died.
too sad. too tragic.
there is no such thing as a good death for a person who is only 58 with still half a life or more ahead to live. but there is comfort in knowing that jeff's suffering was not drawn out and there there is even more comfort in knowing that jeff was surrounded and lovingly tended to by those he loved - his wife and daughter, and some other family and friends who were able to make it to town or lived near.
six weeks after jeff died, there was a beautiful celebration of his life. jeff's send off was moving, absolutely heartfelt, and healing. donita asked if i could make some small memory quilts for his sibs and his mother, his two best friends, and a quilt for her and their daughter out of jeff's shirts. of course i said yes, i am so honored to be so entrusted to such a task. so in november before heading back to cleveland after the celebration of jeff's life, donita, zoe and i went through jeff's closet and filled up two big bags with his shirts - most of jeff's shirts are colorful and bold - like the man he was and the man he will always be in the hearts and minds of those who were privileged to know him. each day i work on the project i feel the healing power of memory and love - i hope that when they are done this power will be extended to those who receive the finished works.

Do you ever wonder why people recommend visiting a dentist who is a member of the American Dental Association? If so, then our team is happy to tell you!
ADA dentists work by five ethics, which will help you have the best and most successful dental experience possible. Those ethics are:
Respect a patient's wants and needs
As a patient, you have the right to be involved in your treatment decisions, and you deserve respect and confidentiality. This standard encourages the dentist to put the patient's wants and needs at the top of the priority list and to involve the patient in every step of the treatment plan.
Do no harm
It's your dentist's responsibility to keep you safe and healthy. This means that your dentist needs to keep up with the current dental developments and technology to make sure you are receiving the best treatment and care possible.
Do good
This ethic ensures that your dentist provides high-quality and timely treatment all while keeping your needs, desires, and values in mind. This helps your dentist do whatever is best for you, no matter the circumstance.
Be fair
This ethic ensures that your dentist will provide dental care without discrimination or prejudice. Everyone is treated fairly regardless of race, religion, creed, socioeconomic background, ethnicity, and current health conditions.
Be truthful
The best doctor-patient relationships are based on honesty and trust. Once the patient trusts the dentist, they can both be partners and work toward a top-notch oral health together.
Because Dr. Fisher and Dr. Bergevin are members of the ADA, they work by these standards to make sure you are completely taken care of in the best possible way. If you have any questions or if you would like to know more about your dentist in Port Orchard, WA, please call our office at 360-876-0445 and talk to a member of our friendly and caring dental team. We look forward to hearing from you!

About Me
I am passionate about the stunning potential that lies within the human body and spirit. As a teacher, healer, and speaker, I am committed to living my life from a place of integrity, authenticity, and vibrancy, and to offering the same possibility to others.
From the well of my own being, I offer you the experience of embodied presence: the heart-mind-body connection of deep awareness within the present moment.
My exploration of embodied presence has led me to discover compassionate and effective ways of healing and teaching. Dancing, meditating, collage-making, traveling, gardening, and hoop dancing provide a foundation for my own spiritual practice, allowing me to experience the gift of being fully human and inspiring me to share this gift with others.
With over 25 years of experience as a healer and teacher, I continue to be energized by the promise of health and delight in our earthly existence. My tenure of more than 20 years in private practice and as a senior faculty member at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing (a professional four-year program in Energy Healing) has allowed me to expand my creative vision and has deepened my desire to continue to share both my breadth of knowledge and my joy of life with others.
About Krysantha Healing
Enter the Krysantha – the underlying golden matrix of energy that animates and connects all things. The Krysantha is the animating life force, the bio-photonic light that enlivens every cell of your being.
For the last several years, this energy has been appearing to me and moving through me in my healing work. While tuning in to my clients' energy fields and physical bodies, I began to see and experience this magnificent, bio-photonic light animating every cell of the human body.
As I explored this golden cellular light, I began to see the threads of connection, from cell to cell, atom to atom — like a spider web, delicate yet unbelievably strong, all covered in dew and illuminated by the morning sun.
These threads radiated throughout the physical body and surrounded it, continuing on to connect all things, out through Infinity.
I came to know this golden flower-like matrix as The Krysantha.
The Krysantha matrix is the golden template and the animating force of life.
My Private Practice
Quite simply, I love people. I am continually shown that my extensive experience, deep care, and broad understanding of our interconnectedness results in a profound impact with my clients.
In my private healing practice, I work with clients from all over the world – both in person at The Wellness Alliance in Carrboro, NC and long-distance via Skype or telephone. Clients come with various challenges ranging from physical dis-ease and pain, to emotional turmoil, to spiritual distress.
My approach weaves together Krysantha Healing with my expertise in Brennan Healing Science (developed by Dr. Barbara Brennan and described in her groundbreaking books, "Hands of Light" and "Light Emerging"). I also integrate shamanism and healing through the quantum field, including the Still Point of the Heart.
My journey has taken decades of training and experience in energy awareness, healing, and personal transformation. I have had to dive deeply into my own healing so that I could be a clear instrument for this life changing work with others. I bring deep compassion, safety, integrity, and the fullness of my experience to this transformational process.
If you would like to schedule a free fifteen-minute consultation to learn more about my work and to see if this is a match for you, please email me at email@example.com
To book a session with me, you may do so through the online booking system (awaiting link confirmation).
If you prefer, you can call to schedule appointments through my office manager at The Wellness Alliance. Phone 1+919-932-6262 ext 210.
What is energy healing and how does it work?
Energy healing is a great paradox: it is both a deep mystery while, at the same time, it is rooted in science and physics. It is an ancient practice tracing back, throughout the world, for at least 5,000 years. Scientists are just beginning to study and prove the validity of energy healing. Evidence shows that changes in the energy field affect change and promote healing in the belief system, emotions and ultimately, in the physical body. More and more people are turning to energy healing to recover from debilitating, confusing issues and a lifetime of suffering. Energy healing is one of the most profound and fundamental alternative therapies in the field of alternative medicine and holistic health.
As quantum physics tells us, everything in the universe is energy; even that which we call "solid matter" is simply very dense energy. All human beings have an "energy field" and this field is "an underlying blueprint" for both physical and emotional health and well-being or disease.
Energy Healing is a gentle yet powerful holistic method of restoring health to our physical emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies. Through a variety of techniques on and off the body, healing sessions clear, balance, charge and repair the body's energy field. This affects all the systems and organs of the body. Energy Healing integrates seamlessly with traditional medicine to promote health and may be especially effective with conditions that do not respond to allopathic treatment. Energy Healing sessions can address the underlying causes of disease (disruption in the body's energy fields) by restoring balance to the underlying conflict out of which the physical symptoms arise.
Information for new clients
Every energy healing session is unique because it relates to your needs at that particular moment. Healing is a process and a journey, not a quick fix. It is about you learning to make real and lasting change in your life for truly integrated benefit.
A session might include a reading of your energy field, hands-on energy work (either in-person on a healing table with the client fully clothed, or long-distance over Skype), psychological-spiritual support and exploration, and information on how to specifically take care of yourself and your energy field for continued self-healing.
You can count on a non-judgmental and welcoming space, all yours for the expression and exploration of your life experience. I hold clear professional boundaries that honor confidentiality.
My approach to healing and personal transformation is holistic, focusing on you as a complex, evolving and dynamic being. I am here as a facilitator in your self-initiated process of healing and transformation. I am a trusted listener, your mirror, and your partner in the process.
I am committed to exploring with you the depths of your being, to discover and address the blocks in the free flow of your life force energy and your essential nature. I work with you on all levels of your being – physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
I "listen" with my hands, my eyes, my ears, and my heart.

If the month of March could be defined by a colour it would probably be the colour green. This is the month that ushers in the spring season bringing lush and leafy colour back into the natural environment, perhaps even adding a hint of green to your thumb and inspiring the planting of a garden.
If you've ever considered starting your own organic garden, this time of renewal and growth is the most opportune. With a small growing area, some planning, and dedication you can grow your own fruits and vegetables and know exactly what's going into the food you harvest. Like many outdoor pursuits, the stress-relieving benefits of connecting with the earth through gardening can help you cope with many of life's ups and downs. If gardening is your passion, this time will help you find peace of mind and make you happier, too!
Here are some tips to begin sowing the seeds to later reap the rewards of an organic garden:
Have a Plan
Probably the most important tip is planning. Determine what the goals for your garden are and what you'd like to grow. As a beginner you may wish to start out with plants that are easier to grow such as tomatoes, onions, zucchini and mint.
Size Matters
One of the biggest mistakes novice gardeners make is starting out too big. The trick is to start small and get a handle on the growing so that you don't end up quitting. An area as small as 100 square feet can actually grow a lot of food if planted densely. Start out with one or two plants and work your way up from there. Even one plant can have a generous yield when cared for properly.
Gardening, like real estate is about location. It's important to choose the best area for your planting, one which sees full sun exposure. Most fruits and vegetables need plenty of light and heat in order to flourish so you'll want a spot where they see sunlight at least 6 hours a day. It is also important to ensure that the place you choose for planting offers sufficient draining abilities.
Much like building a house, growing a garden is dependent on a good foundation; in this case that is good soil. Making good soil means incorporating a couple of inches of compost (which can be made from leaves and garden trimmings and kitchen scraps) into the top few inches, maintaining a 2-4 inch layer of straw or leaf mulch (not bark, wood or stones), and providing adequate water. If your backyard (or growing area) does not contain high quality soil you may have to acquire some organic soil. In addition you will want to fertilize the soil throughout the growing season.
Start with Plants
If you're new to the gardening game it is recommended to start out buying your plants (raised without chemical fertilizers and pesticides) and working your way up to starting seedlings of your own. Once you have your plants ready, dig a hole that is just as deep and at least twice as wide as the root; place your plant in; backfill with the soil you removed; tamp it in and water thoroughly. When the planting is all done give the entire garden a 3 inch thick layer of organic mulch which will help to prevent weeds and retain soil moisture.
Proper Watering
A newly planted area should be watered every 2-3 days to start out; watering the roots and not the greenery. By late spring that number will come down to 1-3 times a week. Also, the best time for watering is in the morning when it is cooler so the amount of water lost to evaporation is reduced.
Following these basic principles will get your organic garden growing and with patience and perseverance you'll reap the healthy benefits. In the words of English poet Alfred Austin, "The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To grow a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul".
For more stress relief, we encourage you to make an appointment at Total Wellness, as we have a variety of therapies to assist you along the way.

I'm so proud!
Every year, "The Bachelor" franchise gives us two things – somebody from Palm Beach County and someone who gets gloriously smashed and says something undecipherable on the very first night. And this season, you guys, THEY'RE THE SAME PERSON.
Meet Vincent Ventiera, otherwise known as Vinny. He's a barber with a nice smile (although other sites list him as a DJ) and he's got pretty hair, but no tattoos, according to his official ABC biography because "My mom would kill me." He also swears to Bachelorette JoJo when he stumbles in on slippery shoes, that he would "never let you beg for my love on the bathroom floor." I guess this is a reference to when dumb Ben promised to not blindside her with a breakup and then blindsided her with a breakup because promises mean nothing and love is dead.
JoJo is confused. I am confused. But it gets him a rose. So obviously Vinny is doing something right, and we applaud him, because we like a local.
In other random news, some guy named Wells brought the group All-4-One with him to sing "I Swear," and it's hilarious, not only because I went to the University of Maryland with member Delious Kennedy, but because of all of the stunts contestants get out of the limo with, "chart-topping vocal group" has never been a thing before now. Wells has stepped up the game. Who's next? Backstreet, I'm looking at you.

Customers are 'be-bopping while they're shopping' at a supermarket in London
Customers at Waitrose Kings Cross are being treated to a free jazz concert every Thursday night. The London Granary Square store is part of a recent re-development of the area next to the Regent's Canal. The store (a converted railway engine-shed) already boasted a wine and beer bar and outside patio space, when husband and wife team Phil Wain and Lisa Tang suggested programming jazz sessions there.
Customers have been 'dancing in the aisles' and 'be-bopping while they're shopping' for the last 18 months or so. In an interview with Jazz FM, Phil Wain says "It's been so successful. One of the great things about it being free is that people can come and experience it for 5-10 minutes and come again the next week. It allows us to showcase lots of different young musicians and put bands together who are given an opportunity to play for an appreciative audience."
Lisa Tang added "as we all know, a lot of live music venues have been closing down so this is an alternative way of thinking because it's not really a venue, but it has bizarrely become a valuable community space"
The gigs run weekly from 6.30-9pm including forthcoming Thursdays…
September 7 – Adam Teixeira, Alam Nathoo, Michele Tacchi
September 14 – Joe Browne
September 21 – Phil Wain trio with Jansen Santana, Joseph Costi

Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials Movie Review | by tiffanyyong.com
Recommended Audience: Fans of Dylan O'Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Giancarlo Esposito, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Ki Hong Lee, Will Poulter, Aidan Gillen, Rosa Salazar, Maze Runner novel fans and action/ Sci-Fi movie fans
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials Movie Synopsis
In this next chapter of the epic "Maze Runner" saga, Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) and his fellow Gladers face their greatest challenge yet: searching for clues about the mysterious and powerful organization known as WCKD. Their journey takes them to the Scorch, a desolate landscape filled with unimaginable obstacles. Teaming up with resistance fighters, the Gladers take on WCKD's vastly superior forces and uncover its shocking plans for them all.
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials Viewer Rating: 4.5/5 ****
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials Movie Review:
This is probably one of the best types of film to go on a movie marathon, as the film continued from where they left off last year, escaping from the Maze and the Gladers [Dylan O'Brien (Thomas), Thomas Brodie-Sangster (Newt), Ki Hong Lee (Minho), Kaya Scodelario (Teresa Agnes) and Dexter Darden (Frypan)] was 'saved' by some unknown team led by Aidan Gillen (Janson) who claims to be against W.C.K.D. (World Catastrophe Killzone Department) and the story goes on. I'm not going to provide much spoilers so that you guys get to enjoy the excitement, scares and thrills like I did during the film.Then why read this? Haha, oh well. Just read. I caught the sneaks of The Scorch Trials with a friend who hadn't read the novels and since I've read the novels some time back, I thought I would do a quick comparison review between between a novel reader and a movie fan. And I truly think that the director Wes Ball had done a GREAT job making do with the novel (which I thought was pretty draggy and meh.)
If you've read the novel, you will realise that the sequel is based loosely on the novel. Which is pretty good, because I wasn't exactly happy with how the novel went. Most of the important scenes were taken in, and the landscape was jaw-dropping. I saw some online reviews on how this film didn't have any "maze", but ain't the Scorch itself a maze? They didn't know where they are going, who they will bump into, enemy or friend… #LifesAMazeIf you have not read the novel, it is almost impossible to anticipate what might happen next. The journey is a maze, it's an adventure that you will have to go through with the team, reminding me of the game "Temple Run" where the character has to constantly escape from monsters which resembles a mixture of the Grievers (from first movie) and the Cranks (from the sequel). And as the player runs, the landscape changes, exactly like how the bunch of guys move from desert to ruins and then to abandoned towns.
(Useful Spoilers in This Paragraph) The suspense was good. The action sequences were crazily scary but not over-the-top. Think racing up a toppled ruins of skyscraper while being chased by zombie-like Cranks. Or going underground to the tunnels, knowing the worst kind of Crank are out there, but yet that's the only way out. However, my favourite scene, (something similar to the above) was when they had to abandoned a badly injured and infected mate, only to stop when they heard the gunshot. The sadness in that silhouette, the pause before moving on, the scene was beautifully done.I guess what surprised me the most was the choice of cast. The cast were diverse (or should I say multi-racial) making every individual unique and well-defined. The new characters, such as Rosa Salazar (Brenda), Jacob Lofland (Aris Jones) and Jorge (Giancarlo Esposito) were interesting additions to the film. While I'm usually resistant to new additions to existing characters and plot, these people made the originally strong team a little more fun and funny!
I like how the film gave just a slight hint of romance, instead of emphasising it like the novel – after all, who has time to do the lovey-dovey stuff when everyone is on the run!The only disappointment I could think of, was perhaps, the 130minutes film leave you wanting to watch on. As the second part of the trilogy, it is an arc to the whole picture, and audience (especially those who did not read the novel) will end with "What? That's ALL!" instead of "Huh? What Just Happened?". This is definitely much better than The Hunger Games: Mocking Jay Part 1. So yes, it's a MUST WATCH!
P.S. Catch "the Maze Runner" movie before watching it or you won't understand what they are talking about. The characters development were mostly done in the first film. In this sequel, it's a lot of suspicion and fleeing!
Do You Know?
Instead of waiting to see the box-office, the studio decided two weeks before the premier of the Maze Runner film to greenlight The Scorch Trials as the publicity and reviews were overwhelmingly good.The director Wes Ball says the movie will diverge from the book a little bit, but will get back on track in the third installment titled The Death Cure. Thomas-Brodie Sangster, Aiden Gillen, and Nathalie Emmanuel who appear in Game of Thrones (2011) are in this film Australian actress Adelaide Kane was fancasted to play the role of Brenda but couldn't get the part due to scheduling conflicts. There are numerous differences between the novel and the movie. In the book, the team were forced to either be killed or go out into the Scorch (as the next trial), while in the move, they escaped into the Scorch as when they found out that the whole set-up and that they were still under the control of W.C.K.D.
In the novel, Teresa was separated from the boys for most of the time, and grouped with the girls, communicating occasionally via telepathy. However, in the film, Teresa was with them the entire time.

My mom saw the first Maze Runner movie and she loved it. And somehow, no matter how much she suggested I watch it, I'm not that interested. I'm sure she've watched this already. And even if she finally convince me to watch it, I will have to watch the previous to fully understand.
The maze runner was a great movie. It's nice to see how things continued after the first one.
My son loves the series and have read all the books. he's bugging me to take him to this film asap. good to know you liked it. BUT how can they not seperate Theresa! That was central to the developement of the story in the book!
I read the novels too, and learning here that Teresa would be with them the whole time is interesting because that would change things.
I heard quite a number of good reviews about this movie. Though I am not familiar with the cast but as you me mentioned that this is definitely much better than The Hunger Games: Mocking Jay Part 1. I will watch it this weekend.
I never really got into the first movie. My husband will probably drag me to see this weekend though.
I actually just watched the 1st film a couple of months back, didn't even know about the book series. I was totally impressed with the 1st one that I wanted the next to be released soon as I finished watching haha. Wow, you gave it a high rating! Definitely going to see The Scorch Trials!
Your review looks so brilliant and i think was thinking when i should go and watch it but now surely catch up.
My two teen children are dying to see this movie! Thank you so much for the review — I might have Dad watch it with them for a kids' night!
It seems almost everyone online are talking and reviewing about this movie. I haven't watched this one yet though but I might give this a go.
wanted to catch this last weekend but couldn't find time to. will probably watch it this weekend! can't wait!
ps. i really like that cute korean guy. heh!
Thanks for reviewing this movie. I have been so curious about it since everyone's talking about it.
Did not expect we will be reviewing the same movie this week. 🙂 You liked it a little more than I did, almost perfect score for you. It was better than the first for me, but the pacing of the movie was not so good all the time, especially in Act 2. – Fred
so this is the movie my friends are talking about. i still am thinking if i will watch tho. 😀
What an interesting and comprehensive review. It's nice to read it – as I was curious about how the movie turned out. I didn't see it (yet, at least), but I read the books.
Start a discussion, not a fire. Share your opinions, not your prejudice. Post with kindness.

SYNOPSIS: We need a quick burst of government spending to beat the bad stock market to the punch
In late 1997, when South Korea suddenly found itself in economic crisis, there was a great upsurge of patriotism. Women offered their gold jewelry to the government, to help rebuild its vanished reserves of foreign exchange; millions of people cut back on their spending, feeling that it was irresponsible to buy themselves luxuries when the nation was in danger.
Of course, this willingness to make sacrifices for the national good made things worse: the drop in consumer spending was one of the factors that pushed South Korea into an extremely nasty recession.
I mention this piece of recent history for the obvious reason: although CNN may be calling this "America's new war," at least so far the economic effects of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack look very little like those we usually associate with war, and very much like those we saw in the Asian financial crisis. After a terrible week in the financial markets, it's clearer than ever that the usually helpful instincts of a nation under attack — the desire to give up some pleasures in honor of the victims, the feeling that having too good a time would be in bad taste — are actually worsening the situation.
So what's the answer? There have been some efforts to convince people that it is their patriotic duty to spend money. But I don't think that's going to work: it goes too much against the grain of human nature, against the feeling that tragedy demands sacrifice rather than self-indulgence. And the grass-roots campaign that took place before the market reopened, urging people to buy stock as a gesture of faith in America, has already backfired: anyone who patriotically purchased stocks got caught up in a market plunge that wiped out more than $1 trillion in wealth, while short-selling hedge fund managers who didn't let sentimentality get in the way of business did very well, thank you.
So this isn't the kind of problem that can be solved by voluntary action. It's up to the government to ensure that America's sorrow and nervousness don't turn into an economic disaster.
A first step would be some realistic rhetoric. I don't fault the Bush administration for initially using the language of war and revenge; an angry and grieving public would not have accepted anything less. Eventually, however, officials will have to make more strongly than they have the point that this is not going to be war as we usually understand it: there will probably be little impact on daily life for most people, few dramatic events and quite possibly no real catharsis.
A second step would be to accelerate the flow of government spending into the economy. One of the lessons of the Asian crisis, declared the I.M.F.'s Stanley Fischer, was that "Keynesianism is alive and well" — increased government spending does help the economy. And the additional spending that will take place as a result of the attack — $45 billion approved so far, much more to come — will eventually give our own economy a significant lift. But there is now a risk that the "wealth effect" from last week's market plunge, the adverse effects of stock losses on consumer spending, will beat the fiscal stimulus to the punch. Let's get the government spending underway, please.
True, Alan Greenspan cautioned us last week that "it is far more important to be right than quick." I'm not sure what he meant by that, so I'm not sure I agree. If he means that it's very important not to respond to the economy's weakness with a so-called stimulus package that locks in another round of permanent tax cuts, I definitely agree. As Mr. Greenspan pointed out, one risk to the economy is that a worsening long-run budget prospect will drive up long-term interest rates; that's the last thing we need. To limit that risk I would suggest the general rule that Congress shall make no laws in the heat of this crisis that affect either revenue or spending beyond next year.
But in terms of immediate action, it may be more important that the money already in the pipeline be spent quickly than that it be spent well.
A final, optimistic thought: South Korea's recession lasted less than a year; by 1999 the economy was rapidly recovering. We ought to be able to do better.

Silver: Declining supply, increasing demand
On current supply/demand trends, the amount of above ground refined silver is projected to shrink to even lower levels in the coming years. Industrial demand has been outstripping mining supply for most of the last 20 years, driving above ground supply to historically low levels. Few in the investment world are aware of this important fact. (more)
When the U.S. Dollar Rallies, the Stock Market Will Crash
The Fed operates the same way. It generates market activity by creating incentives for borrowing. Borrowing leads to speculation, and speculation leads to steadily rising asset prices. This is how the game is played. The Fed is not an unbiased observer of free market activity. The Fed drives the market. It fuels speculation and controls behavior by fixing interest rates.
When Lehman Bros flopped last year, markets went into freefall. A sharp correction turned into a full-blown panic. The bubble burst and trillions of dollars in credit vanished in a flash. Trading in exotic debt-instruments stopped overnight. A global sell-off ensued. Markets crashed. For a while, it looked like the whole system might collapse. (more)
Another View At Goldman's Trading Perfection And Statistical Improbabilities
Why Gold Has a LONG Way to Go
A couple weeks ago, I had my TV tuned to a business show that loves to give predictions on the markets and the economy. On that day, one of the program's regular guests declared it was time to "short" gold, that it had reached its top, and that the precious metals bull market was over. I'll try to be nice in my rebuttal.
So, what was his reasoning: technical analysis of wave counts? falling demand? a telling ratio? sun spots? No, he noted that upscale department store Harrods in London began selling gold bullion and coins "over the counter," ergo, the top was in. Nice try, "Bert," but this is amateurish. You really shouldn't be playing with the big boys if that's the basis of your call. (more)
Jim Rogers Sees Short-Term Dollar Rally
The greenback has dropped to 14-month lows recently.
"Everybody in the world has become more and more skeptical about the dollar," he told the Financial Times.
"The Chinese, the Russians, everybody realizes now that there's a problem. The dollar's a terribly flawed currency."
But Rogers has bought dollars during the past three months in expectation of a rebound. (more)
