Stay onboard until the final stop on Thappraya Road in Jomtien which will bring you closes to Na Jomtien. The trip takes between 2.5 to 3 hours from leaving the airport to arriving at your hotel. Upon reaching Thappraya Road, you can either take a "Songtaew" (Baht bus) to the hotel or arrange for your hotel to pick you up, usually against charge. Price for songtaew is negotiated before departing and varies depending on distance to hotel. Alternatively many hotels in Na Jomtien offer a pickup service for a fee, subject to prior reservation.
The bus from Bangkok Airport leaves every hour, seven days a week, starting at 7.00 AM. It is important to note that advance reservation of seat is not an option and you may therefore have to wait to get a seat, especially during the high season November to March when the next bus may already be full and you will have to buy a ticket for the following trip.

Service is a dirty word in the "standard" industrial market, we pride ourselves on our customer focus & ability to do the "non-standard". Meeting the customers' requirements is the key to a successful outcome. At Advanced Barns & Sheds, the man who sells the shed orders the shed and supervises the contractors. We accept calls 24 hours a day and provide after-hours numbers. Let's face it, if you can't work something out you want to talk to the person who designed the shed.
Our sheds are designed to the highest structural standards, not just to meet the minimum structural limits. Despite this, our latest technology design system and computer drafting system allow us to deliver highly competitive solutions for our customers. Check out the bracket thickness, purlin spacing and metal gauges that we utilise - the heaviest in the industry. Our sheds are built to last using fully galvanised and high tensile steel. Our computer design system uses the latest in design technology and is fully engineered up to cyclonic standards. Our sheds are fully framed and have a full free-standing skeleton.
Advanced Barns and Sheds have the ability to handle any part of the erection process. Alternatively, you can choose to make your own arrangements and have us supply in kit form only. To assist with the self-erect process we supply pivot-up footing brackets on all sheds over 3 metres high. This simplifies the erection process as the smaller sized gables frames can be "walked up" into position. We normally expect to deliver a basic kit in 4 working weeks from time of order. However, variations can occur around Christmas and extended public holidays.
We pride ourselves on being a WA local company, employing local qualified tradesmen and utilising local suppliers. Our tradesmen are qualified professionals with the appropriate tickets and insurances.

Ways to pay
Changes to how you pay your Council bills
We're constantly introducing new ways for you to pay your bills at a time and place that suits you.
From October, we will no longer accept cash or cheques over the counter. We have less money coming in from the Government, and have to reduce spending by around £4 million. To help us save this money:
- Barnoldswick Council Shop will close
- The payments counter at Number One Market Street in Nelson will no longer exist
- There will be no customer services at Colne Town Hall
The number of people paying their bills by cash has reduced significantly so it is not cost effective to keep these facilities open. It cost us £2.60 to take a payment over the counter, and only 2p to take the same payment online.
How else can I make payments?
The quickest and easiest way to pay Council tax, is to set up a Direct Debit.
For other payments, you can:
- pay online, using a debit or credit card
- pay over the phone on 0845 372 3334 using a debit or credit card
What if I don't have a computer?
You will be able to make payments using the two on-site computers or telephones at Contact Pendle. Staff will be there to help you. There are also computers available at the libraries in Barnoldswick, Brierfield, Colne and Nelson.
For help getting online, you can search our directory of organisations who can help getting online.
What if I still want to pay in cash?
You can go to your nearest PayPoint or Post Office where you can still pay in cash. Just take your bill, which includes your unique account reference number and barcode, to participating retailers across Pendle. Their opening hours are later than ours and many may be just around the corner from your house.
Within a three-mile radius of Nelson town centre there are 54 outlets, at least 11 of which are of walking distance from Contact Pendle.
And within a three-mile radius of Barnoldswick town centre there are 11 outlets, with at least seven within walking distance from the Council Shop in Fernlea Avenue.

Bassist Joshua Abrams is ubiquitous in Chicago's improvised music scene, and has been instrumental in a number of rock, country, hip-hop and experimental projects—most notably Town & Country, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Sam Prekop, and the Roots. His most recent outing as a bandleader, Natural Information Society, highlights his work on the guimbri, a North African ceremonial string instrument, and features luminary musicians from across the many scenes in which he plays. The music is rhythmic and trance-inducing, evoking influences such as African ceremonial dance, Krautrock, and the collaborations of Terry Riley and Don Cherry. The ensemble's second album, Represencing, saw a vinyl-only release on Eremite Records earlier this year.
Helmed by keyboardist and sound engineer Cooper Crane (CAVE), Bitchin Bajas create organ-based psychedelic drone music that will be perfect soundtrack for a blazing summer afternoon. Since they began as a side project in 2010, they have amassed a number of releases in various formats, most recently the Drag City LP Bitchitronics.

Sol 2019, April 11, 2018, update by MSL scientist Lauren Edgar: For the past few sols Curiosity has been exploring a diverse assemblage of cobbles and boulders on Vera Rubin Ridge, trying to understand how this blocky deposit came to be, and what the variety of rock types can tell us about geologic processes in Gale crater. We've been really excited by the diversity of rock types, as seen in the above Mastcam image. The team decided to stay for one more full day of contact science before driving away in tomorrow's plan.
I was the SOWG Chair today, and we tried to pack as much science as possible into the plan, pushing the bounds of our power and data volume limits. We were able to plan 3 more contact science targets, and we'll acquire a full suite of MAHLI images and APXS data on each of them. The targets include a smooth gray rock named "Minginish," a well-cemented, finely-laminated rock named "Sanquhar," and a well-stratified rock named "Rousay." The Geology theme group also planned several… [More at link]

Four years ago in New York City, I went on a second date with a male model. We knew each other through friends of friends. We'd seen each other at events and get-togethers, we flirted here and there, and finally, a year after we met, he asked me out.
The first date was great. He came to my neighborhood — at the time I was in Harlem and on the second date — I drove down to his neighborhood on the Lower East Side. Since I was driving, I made sure to only have two drinks so I could get myself home.
During our meal, we caught up, exchanged stories about what we were working on and the friends we had in common. I had fun and noticed that during our meal, he kept sharing tidbits about his apartment and how much he loved it. As our dinner progressed, this led into how much he wanted me to see his place as well.
I'm sure you know where this goes.
I didn't really care to see his place. But I could tell he wanted to share it. And at the time, I didn't feel like his desire to show it to me had anything to do with sex. Although I was enjoying his company, I was beginning to think that we weren't romantically compatible. Not to be cliche, but I wasn't intellectually stimulated. I wanted a soul connection. Not sex.
In the end, I decided to see his place. And of course, we made out a little, and eventually, I was done. I didn't want anymore. I was ready to go home. So I told him, "This has been awesome, I'm going to get ready to leave. Thanks for a great night."
And his response was to put his hands under my dress and start touching me. I was annoyed, both by his actions and by my own confusion. There were seconds when it felt great, he was touching me in the right place, but when I came back to my consciousness and checked in with myself, I remember acknowledging, "Why am I here? I don't want to do this."
I tried to pull away, but he kept hugging, holding me tight, even when I told him I wanted to go home. I kept trying to push him away, saying that I wanted to leave (and maneuvering my body to actually leave,) but he wasn't letting go; he was stronger than me. I realized that if I wanted to leave, I would have to become physically aggressive and fight him in order to actually depart.
I'm sure some people reading this might say, "Why not? You should have fought him if that's what it took."
But for me, it was easier to just go with it. I remember thinking, "FINE. We'll do this and when he finishes, we'll be DONE." As in, I'll never have to deal with him again.
I can't say I was forced. I also can't say he wasn't using his power and my turn-on against me.
It was grey.
There were moments when I tried to talk myself into it. Like, "You enjoy sex, just get into it. C'mon Christina, you're not trying. Just go with it. He's hot. Why not?"

Spring. It bounces on springs.
The lull of winter is gone, and we are left chasing the boing of spring. Before soccer and baseball start, we are wrapping up gymnastics, Pinewood Derby for scouts, the Science Fair project, and a visit from Flat Stanley. And learning the ins and outs of roasting a chicken.
Today's Hump Day Short is mostly in pictures of this surge to a warm spring.
The annual Pinewood Derby Car Build. Other than the wet white space shuttle falling on the dark stained wood floor in the kitchen necessitating moving like lightening to scrub up the acrylic white paint before it set -- all went well. Great camaraderie between Bill and the boys. And within the Pack: Having won and gone to districts for two years, the boy that won in Will's den stepped down and let the 2nd place finisher go to districts. Yes, the sweetness of that gesture made a few of us moms tear up.
Will completed his science fair project independently this year. Just as well, I don't think the dining room table would have held me. Actually, this is just the presentation preparation after the experiment: How much weight can eggs hold? Four eggs didn't even crack under the weight of 25 pounds of books.
It's always a pleasure to have Flat Stanley visit us. For some reason, teachers in Iowa include Flat Stanley books in their very early spring curriculum. Nevertheless, Stanley and I made it to a beach and picked up some shells for my niece. My fingers took longer than his to thaw.
Liam and I wrapped up a cool, windy, rainy spring afternoon with the preparation of a roast chicken. That boy likes to cook! I nearly killed the moment when I started in on a story about how we used to help Grandma butcher chickens. He had chosen the word "butcher" for his vocabulary the week before. The student dictionary's definition was something to the effect of "to prepare meat and sell it." I soon curbed my version. Some day he'll read the real story.

I do not even know how to start… For the past two months, or even more I took over a new set of responsibilities, or, to be more precise, starting from the very simple statement: I want my job as a database developer for my squad to be done right, I gradually drifted into assuming more and more responsibilities, because in order to do my job right, something else should be done right, and… you got the idea. I've ended up talking with dozen of people from different departments, calling the meetings "just to clarify one question", storming into other squads meetings, "because you are going to do something with the database, and I do not know, what exactly"….
So now I am officially "a Technical Lead for all Database Developers within the Software Engineering Department". I've invented this role myself. Invented, because I felt a need for such a role. Invented, because my co-workers were asking me to take a leading role in the database development.
I've being doing so much of all this recently, that at first I didn't see something really changing: I had my dynamic list of action items, I continue to carry on the same projects, big and small… yet on my first day in this new role I've spent nine and a half hours in the office, including lunch, during which I was teaching my class. When I was on the train back home reflecting on today's day, I've listed all meetings and other interactions with coworkers, and small projects I was able to complete today, and they totaled to 20! I was completely exhausted by the end of the day, but I really felt I did lots of good stuff.
So, what have changed? The fact, that now it's not an option and not a matter of my choice – whether I am taking over the "big things". Now I just can't stop doing those "big things". It's kind of frightening and exciting at the same time.
I know exactly, what I want to accomplish in my new role: I really want to bring the quality of our applications to the all new level. To promote the highest standards of development. And I know, what I am really good at (in addition to the database optimization :)) – I am good at talking to people, explaining why I am making my decisions, why I believe, that "my way is the right way".
I am also thinking, that I'm immensely lucky to have all the trust and support from the majority of our developers. Nothing would work otherwise.
Also, I can't stop reflecting on our never-ending discussion regarding gender inequality in IT. During the past several months I've learned to be persistent, to promote myself shamelessly… nothing I ever did before. And if I won't I would never find myself in a position like my current one.
I guess… good luck to me.

"Local Hero" Canadian Finalist
Paige Glazier Recognized as a Hero For Doing Extraordinary Things to Change the World
Show some #WestCoastBestCoast love! Vote for Paige Canadian Living's Me to We Awards
On February 11, 2013, British Columbia's very first family day, Paige's parents received a phone call informing them of slanderous graffiti written about their daughter. Her peers, the social circle she called her friends, left a bold message in bright orange spray paint on the side of her school: "Paige Glazier is a c**t".
"I wanted to turn the negative experience that I have been through into something positive."
Paige knew that something had to change. She's grateful for many local initiatives that have taken a stand against bullying, but she knew that solving the bullying problem takes more than wearing a pink shirt once a year. Paige decided to take one step back and work with elementary schools to encourage prosocial behaviour in children way before they enter into the unrelenting social drama more commonly known as "high school". By reaching kids at a younger age and interacting with them in a school setting, Team Orange can help make an impact by encouraging kids to create positive social environments.
Inspired by the orange paint used to defame her character, Paige founded Team Orange, a prosocial behaviour campaign that teaches elementary aged children the values of inclusion, loyalty and respect. According to the Team Orange website , "Team Orange addresses issues at their root, rather than responding to their consequences." Team Orange helps change the way kids think and challenges the way they approach various interactions with their peers. As these young minds progress through various stages in school, they're equipped with positive tools to encourage prosocial behaviour in all future environments.
After years of being bullied, Paige has since been to countless local schools teaching kids how empathy can make a difference in their social world and equipping them with practical tools to face modern day bullying as well as helping them build resilience in negative environments. Local districts have started to take notice; in fact, a Surrey School District has even adopted Team Orange! Paige's natural charisma and warm character draw kids to her as they participate in various skits and activities and gain better understanding about the social consequences of their thoughts and actions. She has received phone calls from parents and school administrators all over the country, asking if she would come to their school and share her story. Paige has spoken at International Women's Day, has been part of We Day Vancouver and has completed the White Rock Youth Ambassador Program, designed to foster future community leaders through networking and mentorship. She has also participated in the BC Ambassador Program to promote Team Orange provincially.
Through her work with Team Orange, Paige was also recently nominated in the Social Action category of the Me to We awards. The Canadian Living Me to We Awards honours extraordinary Canadians who are building a better world. The awards are divided into six unique categories: Youth in Action (1317), Youth in Action (12 and under), In the Community, Social Action, Educator and Free The Children Youth.
Vote for Paige here . While you're at it, check out all the other inspiring youth who are making a positive difference in our country. Voting will remain open from April 17, 2015 to May 8, 2015. The winners will be announced publicly at Toronto We Day and in the October issue of Canadian Living Magazine.

Open classroom sessions
An open classroom session is a non-threatening way to open doors across a school and foster a culture of sharing and collaboration. Teachers observe multiple classroom environments and practitioners in a series of short 'fly-on-the-wall' observations.
An open classroom session is coordinated and led by a facilitator. Sessions usually run for 60 to 90 minutes, during which time teachers move through one classroom every 5 to 10 minutes and engage in discussion between classrooms. During this time, the facilitator leads the discussion to promote teacher reflection on the strategies observed in the classroom.
Open classroom sessions help teachers, especially in a secondary school context, understand the learning experience for students across different subjects. Observing examples of other teachers' practice enables colleagues to share strategies, learn new ideas and become more attuned to the impact of their own practices on student learning.
Open classroom sessions also increase the transparency of teaching practice within a school context and are able to be implemented with parents, community members and students. They are also an effective strategy to implement preceding more focused lesson observations such as magnifying classroom practice or instructional coaching.
Key elements
- Driven by teachers from within the school to observe practice within a non-threatening approach.
- Deliberately short visits, followed by an immediate debrief.
- Use of group-established agreements.
- Teachers gain insights into their own professional practice through observing others.
How do I facilitate an open classroom session?
Open classroom sessions foster the development of a common understanding of what good teaching practice looks like. The session may have a specific focus, for example, focus on what engaged learning looks like, the use of collaborative learning, the use of flexible spaces. It can also be open-ended and provide a chance to initiate discussion.
Stage 1 – Planning
- The facilitator selects a date and time for the 60 to 90 minute open classroom session.
- The facilitator seeks a range of teachers willing to open their classroom at this time and share their practice during a series of short lesson observations (5 to 10 minutes each). The facilitator gathers an overview of the lesson contexts, practices and strategies which will be seen in these lessons.
- The facilitator gathers a team of teachers who are interested in observing practice within their school. The facilitator will consider the professional learning needs of the observing teachers and may wish to arrange a focus group or survey to assess this, in order to arrange a valuable open classroom session.
- The facilitator discusses with the classroom teachers the details of the lesson to be observed, providing background and context for the participants. The facilitator seeks permission from the teachers for observers to discuss the learning with students when they conduct their observation.
- The facilitator prepares sample probing questions to be asked between each classroom observation which focus on the teaching practices expected to be seen. This is based on the lesson context provided. However, the facilitator will need to be flexible and knowledgeable to adapt questioning in order to probe understanding of strategies seen and alert teachers to important practices observed. Some examples of probing questions:
- How is the space being used?
- What sort of questions is the teacher using to engage students?
- What strategies are being used to differentiate the lesson?
- How is technology integrated into the learning experience?
Stage 2 – Lesson observation
Each open classroom session should involve 5 to 8 classrooms, depending on the time allocated to the session.
The facilitator meets with the observing teachers somewhere other than the classrooms to provide background information. This briefing is 10 to 15 minutes in duration. Facilitators may like to use the Open classroom session template (.DOCX 45KB) to assist. The facilitator then explains to participating teachers what they can expect to see in the lessons, sharing the background information with specific reference to the pedagogies or practices being utilised. It may be useful to have a short summary of each lesson, context and focus practices for the observation session to help observers as they move through each classroom.
The facilitator also asks participants to be respectful of the learning process as they enter the room and to ensure that what they observe is not discussed outside of the open classroom session process unless agreed by the observed teacher.
Led by the facilitator, teachers observe the lessons and are guided through the 'in-between' classroom visit discussion to gain perspectives on the practices seen. These 'in-between' discussions typically only last 3 to 5 minutes after each classroom visit and aim to surface key observations for the group. Questions may include 'What strategies to create an inclusive learning environment did you notice in that lesson?' or 'What did you notice about the teacher's use of body language to direct classroom management?'. The facilitator may provide additional information for further investigation if relevant. For example, if part of the observation was about a specific collaborative learning strategy, the facilitator may provide samples, strategies or link to resources.
Stage 3 – Scaling practice (extension)
The teachers who observed the lesson trial a strategy based on their observation and reflect on their experiences and outcomes/impact following the trial. Facilitators may wish to arrange subsequent open classroom sessions, link this to a lesson observation process already in place in the school context or revisit this in a follow-up reflection discussion with teachers.
Things to consider
Open classrooms could be perceived as non-threatening and should not be used as summary judgement of individuals. Facilitators should initially provide opportunities for teachers to 'opt-in' to having their classroom open to observers.
Facilitators need to establish structures for participants to follow up and implement learning as part of an ongoing mentoring or coaching program or through the implementation of professional development plans.

Title: Insomnia
Author: Stephen King
I'm not giving up on this quite yet, I may well come back to it, and I'm definitely not giving up on King just yet, but I think I'll try one of his more well known books, like Cujo, or the Stand. Insomnia is about an old man who loses his wife to cancer, and subsequently begins to suffer from insomnia, sleeping less and less each night, using varying folk remedies to no effect. There's a promising subplot with an insane neighbor who claims to see a man he calls "the Little Bald Doctor" and fights against "the Crimson King" who is supposedly harvesting unborn babies in the local abortion clinic. I know the book is 700 some odd pages, but I read the first 130, and just didn't care much about the characters. Maybe its because the main character is an old man in his 70's or 80's, and I'm in my early 20's, but I found it kind of hard to connect with him. Unfortunately it looks like "Insomnia" is going on the "gave up" list. I am, however, looking forward to giving King another chance with something a bit shorter and better known.

- Ray
a lucky experience
"i am so lucky to preorder my Q2 and receive it in two weeks ! i guess it was the fastest delivery i have ever received, specially that i am on a freelance job in dubai and won't be staying long in the country. passionate people in the store and very well organized.
- mark ghsoub

"The experience of ordering from the Leica UAE store is truest exceptional. I placed my order after a brief enquiry about the items compatibility with my existing gear, to which I received a prompt reply. My order shipped the next day and I received it soon afterwards. A quality service that deserves to go hand in hand with the Leica brand name!
- Ala'a H. J. Ismail
A+ experience!
"Fast friendly service and great prices!
- Jeanie
fast delivery - great support
"happily received my first Leica - Leica Q - in Kuwait within couple of days, thank you Emad for the best support
- Fatma
Excellent support
"Thank you for supporting me Mr Raaj. It was really helpfull to me.
- Sujitha
Tania on Leica Q
"Tania is a very good and professional support person. Well done Tania you 99% convinced me to buy the Leica Q
- Motaz
The best Leica Store !
"I was transiting through Dubai and realised I had left behind my 'M adapter T', rendering my kit unusable (SL -Type 601 and noctilux). My previous experience of searching for Leica gear in UAE was futile, but this time came across Perpetual Exposure and leicauae.com after a desperate google search. The events from then on were a revelation. As I was searching for the adapter in the products section, an online chat session popped up. Stock availability was promptly confirmed and one put away. I took a cab to the store - a bit hard to find in a high rise office building. Then I walked into this magnificent store. Every product including sport optics was on display. Not sterile or on pedestals. Just displayed inviting one to handle the cameras, lenses and the accessories. Next door was their academy for courses and demos. Above all, I met Mr. Asaad Abboud, the managing partner. It was a sheer joy to be shown every piece of equipment of interest with a passion for the product only matched by the technical know how. There were 2 - 3 other customers in the premises but the time taken to explain and allow me to enjoy the experience was not a problem for Asaad and his staff Abdul. I even tried the Q for digiscoping. I ended up buying a few items. However, I got the sense that even if I did not buy a single piece of gear, I would have been extended the same enthusiasm and welcome by Asaad. I have been to great Leica boutiques and stores from Frankfurt to San Francisco; New York to Melbourne (home town). But I can categorically say that Leica UAE experience was the best ever. Sheer passion and unsurpassed understanding of the merits of the gear for the pleasure of taking photos and a willingness to let the potential customer experience that feeling set this store apart from any other I have been to. The prices were on par or cheaper as well. I sincerely hope that this experience would be preserved when you move into a new store at the ? Dubai Mall. I would be back just to enjoy the passion for photography.
- Dr. Siven Seevanayagam

Amazing Service
"I feel compelled to write a feedback about my experience as I have rarely witnessed such outstanding service from an online store. In a time where we are just a number for the major retailers, Leica UAE has proven that there are still retailers out there that care about the human touch without compromising on the professional approach. The sales staff made sure to answer all my questions through their chat platform and made me feel as if I was in their actual store! The purchase process was very efficient and seamless and the speed in which my order was processed and shipped was outstanding. I received my order in two days as I was not available to receive the next day and it was packaged in a very safe way. I can not thank you enough for this great service and I will surely be buying again in the future!
- Michel
Great service!
"Excellent online services. Immediate reply on the chat platform. Overall, it was indeed a great online purchase experience. Delivery was fast and I received my order in a great condition! Well done Leica UAE!

Give Your (Possible) Best
Talking about being available to readers and building something someone else (besides me writing it) could enjoy as well, I've been thinking about the content I'm publishing.
Of course you always want to reach a good amount of readers and have your thoughts being talked about, but there's something more than being at the right place at the right time – or as you'd say in our online-community, being linked to by the "big-ones".
Seth Godin recently published a perfectly relevant article on his blog called "You have no credibility (yet)" where he touches on this subject. The whole piece is quotable but the paragraphs below make my point:
"Attention is not yours to take whenever you need it. And trust is not something you can insist on.
You can earn trust, just as you can earn attention. Not with everyone, but with the people that you need, the people who need you."
However good (or bad) your article is, people will only read it if they've found value in investing their time into your words. Only practice and dedication will give you a chance to reach more people in the future.
"The good news is that you can earn it. You can invest in the community, you can patiently lead and contribute and demonstrate that the attention you are asking be spent on you is worthwhile."
There are many ways of creating a readership, but one crucial step to this goal is working on it every single day. Shawn Blanc talks about this very point often on his site and on The Focus Course. Besides "showing up every day" there's another huge factor that could keep you from creating something great. Fear. This little voice in your head that keeps on telling you that your work is not good enough, that people won't appreciate it, who would even bother to spend with it?
Shawn Blanc on "Creativity is a Gift":
"If you find yourself facing fear, doubt, shame, difficulty, perplexity, and/or overwhelm when you sit down to do the work then rejoice! All that resistance means you're trying to do something worthwhile. The resistance is proof that you're on the right track. Don't quit."
Many time I have wished for more time to spend on the things I would want to do. Often enough I've decided not to release something because of this fear.
You can never know if the work you do is good. You will never know if someone else will appreciate it. There's one thing though you can be sure about, if you show up every day - which doesn't mean you have to publish something every day, but at least think about it or work on something bigger - you can be proud about improving your skills. Give your best and the effort will be worth it.

Supervised Neglect: Why Are We Not Doing More Full Perio Exams?/
Those of you who are not in the dental profession may not be familiar with the concept of "supervised neglect." The holy grail of dental dictionaries, Mosby's, defines it as a "case in which a patient is regularly examined and shows signs of a disease or other medical problems, but is not informed of its presence or progress." This means that dental professionals have the legal and ethical responsibility to diagnose and educate patients about their oral health conditions, and do everything they can to ensure good health outcomes.
Based on this definition, I ask this question: If complete periodontal exams are not done as often as they should or could be, does this become supervised neglect? While most insurance companies cover a full perio exam once every two years and a recall check once every year – is this good enough? We're talking about standards of care. Just like physicians reach out to their patients to schedule complete physical exams every year, why wouldn't dentists do the same? Why would doing full perio exams be any less important than doing full physical exams – especially given the correlation between oral health and chronic physical-health conditions? Would it not be better for patients, the healthcare system and taxpayers to ensure full perio exams are done annually?
Throughout my three decades of being a practising dentist, I heard all the excuses. Full perio exams are too long. I'm under pressure to get so many other things done. I don't have the time. I need a second person to help me with the charting, but they have their own priorities and are not available.
The importance of full perio exams is another reason I'm so proud of SmartChart™, WinTerra Dental's new dental charting system. Because SmartChart™ is voice-activated, it significantly shortens the time it takes to do a full perio exam – 10 minutes versus about 40. Plus, it only requires one user. It should be a no-brainer to clinicians that SmartChart™ will enable them to do full perio exams every single year, resulting in the highest standard of care for their patients.

I had a very lonely christmas this year
Nicole, brenda and vic were all overseas boohoo
i had my family christmas dinner at home :-)
then lucius and ahmad came to find me after and we were busy wearing my old plmgs uniforms
i honestly miss my secondary school a lot. awwwww
my sister refuses to wear my uniform (Thats been passed down for generations. PL girls you would know how rare and nice these uniforms look ok. The navy blue faded to a very nice light blue and the belts are at the MOST appropriate position and actually look fitting) because she says it looks too altered. She will appreciate it when she moves into upper sec......
ya so we just spent our christmas in my house. singing stupid songs lol
on the 26th i went for my awfully chocolate training. Full shift at the outlet opposite i12
tiring ass job. I started work at 11am and ended at 12.30AM??? YES AFTER MIDNIGHT.
met a couple of really nice workmates they were all really funny and nice to me since i was a noob
had dinner with cole on the 27th at medz
played l4d with everyone because we really have nothing better to do
no pix that day
on the 28th i met tessa for a while, sat at starbucks reading diary by chuck palahniuk, met giam for a while..
Omg 28th was a fucking wild night
basically i didnt initially want to club because i was wearing a maxi skirt and a spaghetti top. AND SANDALS. But i was coaxed into going to cuscaden for a few beers with giam and his other friend.
And then i was persuaded to go to dom for a while and then i only ended up at zouk at about 1.30 when everyone else was high and i was like a sober log. drank a bit at the tables and since my high takes super long to kick in..........i was high at like 4am. So me and nicole decided to cab to mink at 4. And we stayed there till 6.....
as you can see my life after As hasnt been the most healthy
i woke up the next day feeling terrible. I actually took drunk pictures on my photobooth....
On sunday night,
house party at cranwell bungalow organized by my school mates
i DIED by the roadside, puked non stop, didn't even have the SLIGHTEST recollection of how i got home. The next morning lu told me his mom sent me home..........i made him put her to the phone and i apologised immediately lol
But props to myself for being able to bathe, change brush my teeth and even wear my retainers in my drunken state. Even though i woke up wearing my shirt the wrong side LOLOLOL. Only bad thing was i threw my monthly contact lenses away lololol good thing i have an extra 3 pairs

drank very minimally that night so i was relatively sober (and irritated by drunk idiots) the whole night. thumbs up!
had enough appetite for prata too
i spent my 1st january 2013 recuperating at home from the crazy week i had
so basically i spent 1/1/13 on my bed
no resolutions because i decided that i dont ever stick to any anyway.
2013 is going to be my last year been a TEEN. GOD i can't even believe im turning NINETEEN this year. It all seems so surreal. Just a few years ago i was still taking my O levels and enjoying my sweet sixteenth birthday. 19 just makes me sound dreadfully old. One year after that i'll be 20. Good grief

Donor fatigue has been, and probably always will be, a recurring problem that nonprofits face on a daily basis. Once someone has donated to your cause and expressed interest in helping you, how do you make sure they continue to want to contribute and don't get distracted by the next big thing?
The crisis in Haiti is a perfect example of a donor trend. With Wyclef Jean, George Clooney and other big names asking everyone to participate, it's become hip to aid the relief effort. However, that was essentially the same exact thing that happened with Hurricane Katrina–thanks to Brad Pitt, Mike Myers (and maybe even Kanye West), all people could talk about in the months that followed was how much help was needed in New Orleans and all the cool things people were doing to help. Here we are almost 5 years later and guess what? New Orleans and its residents have far from recovered, but once interest waned, so too did press coverage, fundraisers and donations.
Network For Good's Katya Andresen addressed this exact issue on her blog yesterday with an interesting twist: technology has made impulse giving as easy as can be, but these donors aren't likely to be truly committed to the cause and you may never hear from them again. She offers 3 excellent suggestions to help keep your supporters involved if donating to your cause becomes a trend of sorts:
- Ask for a recurring gift: Take advantage of the coverage your issue is receiving and ask people to automatically donate monthly through their credit card.
- Make it personal: Remind givers exactly where their money goes and what it's doing to help. As a donor, there's nothing worse than feeling as though you aren't making a difference.
- Mark the Anniversaries: Anniversaries are a fabulous time to remind people what they gave, what their donation did, and what's left to be done. Remind your givers that your work isn't over and neither is theirs.
I have to agree that technology could very well lead to an increase in one-time donors. With a simple text message, someone can even make a donation through their phone bill, and I've seen numerous emails, text messages and Facebook posts of people sharing that they did just that. However, how many of those people will actually become truly committed to the cause is up to the nonprofit.
Are you being proactive enough to reduce donor fatigue?

The Ngurrara Great Sandy Desert Canvas is a vibrant and powerful map of Country quite unlike any other. Forget the one dimensional simplicity of road maps, topographical maps or resource maps—this canvas was originally painted to support the Ngurrara native title claim in 1997 and it contains stories and information about the desert: about water, plants, songs and ceremonies.
Apart from a few rare exhibitions, including at the National Museum of Australia, the 10 metres by 8 metres canvas has been stored in a box in the archives of Mangkaja Arts Resource Agency in Fitzroy Crossing, WA.
But all this is about to change.
Terry Murray, a curator with Kimberley Aboriginal Law and Culture Centre (KALACC) and the Deputy Chairperson of Mangkaja Arts, was the youngest artist to work on the canvas. With involvement from Mangkaja Arts and Yanunijarra Aboriginal Corporation, he is working with the other artists and authorised family members of deceased artists toward forming a management committee. The committee will then set a clear path forward to preserving, exhibiting and sharing the impressive canvas.
Mr Murray says it's time to develop a vision for the canvas that will benefit all Ngurrara people—young and old. "We're hoping the canvas can bring Ngurrara people together and that we can use it to celebrate our culture. This canvas, this map, is about our family connections, our connection to country and our shared history. It belongs to everyone," Mr Murray says.
Joseph (Japarti) Nugget was one of the senior artists who worked on the canvas. He says, "There are special icons painted on this canvas. It shows particular places for people to understand the importance of country and the connection with land and culture."
Tommy (Ngarraltja) May, another senior artist who worked on the canvas, says, "Everything on this canvas is important." He painted a Dreamtime story based on how two men met during law time. The story was about getting taught by the elders to pass on the knowledge of their journey.
It's a moving, meaningful document, and not just for the Ngurarra painters and people.
"A couple of years ago, when we were in Perth, a young couple approached the canvas. They looked at it for a while and then they both started to cry. We were actually shocked by the power of it. The power of the layers and what these layers contain."
Mr Murray says that once the management committee has been formalised there are plans in the pipeline for the canvas to be exhibited in other parts of Australia. There are also plans for it to be used locally, as a teaching tool for school students, and as a draw card for tourists visiting the Fitzroy Valley.
"It's been great to have Mangkaja as a safekeeping place but now it's time to bring the canvas out of its box. It's so dense and it's so rich and it's a way of bringing Ngurrara people together, so we can stand strong and united."

My Unrealistic Goals For 2019/
Recently I was inspired by the lovely Jordan, from Hello Miss Jordan to write out a list of unrealistic goals for 2019 (she recently did a follow up to her post highlighting the status of the goals and its truly inspiring!)
These are crazy, aspirational goals that I'm not 100% sure I will actually achieve next year but the possibility is truly exciting. After all, you have to put out the positive vibes in order to get positive outcomes right?
So here are my 5 'Unrealistic' Goals for 2019:
1. Reach these follower milestones: 20K Twitter, 10K Instagram, 10K Twitch, 100 Patrons
I know this seems a bit ridiculous, especially considering folks always talking about how its not about the numbers, but there is a small sense of pride in knowing that people are interested in what you are saying. So here are numbers that I consider unattainable for me right now (and this is coming from someone who has to understand algorithms and data on a daily basis for work lol).
2. Collaborate with Disney / Pixar / Studio Ghibli
If this actually happened I might cry. I know that all three are connected (Disney owns Pixar and they release distribute Studio Ghibli films) but they are three that I look up to for the stories, creativity, and inspiration they provide me, and others, every day.
3. Be invited to a Disney film premiere.
I would legitimately freak out about this. There are so many movies releasing next year for Disney that being part of that magic would be surreal.
4. Travel to 12 different places.
Outside of traveling for work related purposes I rarely, if ever, travel for my own personal pleasure. I'd like to change that.
5. Go to one international Disney Park.
This needs no explanation lol.

Amazing cover song of "Creep" by Radiohead
This is hands down one of the best covers my ears have heard in quite a while (it also happens to be quite easy on the eyes). It is performed by Carrie Manolakos at Le Poisson Rouge in Greenwich Village. Check it out here, and make sure you stay until at least 2:25 if you start to get bored:

Have you seen the acclaimed 2005 Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line?
Ever thought what it might be like had the director of a movie about the inventor of the windshield wiper botched the formula used in Walk the Line in an attempt to document the career of late country music pioneer Hank Williams?
Has it crossed your mind what Tom Hiddleston and Elizabeth Olsen do when they're not off making Marvel blockbusters?
Are you able to sit through approximately a half hour of confusing, tedious, badly edited scenes before emitting an exhaustive sigh at the fact that an hour and a half still remain?
I suppose, then, if the answer to all these questions is yes, then I Saw The Light is for you.
Not for me. End of review.

Decor:Impossible - ACE Helping Out in Sandy's Wake
Nick and I were avid Restaurant: Impossible fans for a while before the show turned into the same thing over and over, showing the absolute grossness of the restaurants that we eat in all the time. For those unfamiliar: Celebrity chef Robert Irvine is sent into a failing restaurant to rescue it by revamping their decor, menu, employees and overall operating procedures to help them from failing. He has "2 days and $10,000" to do it - enter the impossible part.
Last weekend I had my own "impossible" situation come up with my friends at the fabulous Milford Yacht Club called in for help. Part of the wonderful appeal of the Milford Yacht Club is its 180 degree water views overlooking the water, which was exactly its demise during the recent Hurricane Sandy. With the dining room gutted and an event that Saturday night they were in need for some help to hide the 2 GIANT plastic enclosed walls surrounding the dance floor leading into the dining room.
Ready for the impossible part? I had one day and $300 to spend. What I set out to create was a softly lit wall covered in sheer fabrics with sheer panels and string lights. To draw attention away from the walls and create a bit of a warmer space I wanted to do something overhead to cozy it up. Initially I intended to purchase white tulle to do a little peak at the ceiling but that lacked color and the "oooo factor" that I was going for. Once at the fabric store I found the perfect fabric that changed the entire look: gray bluer seersucker- how yacht club.
After I grabbed some red and white fabric, a delicious craft beer, and ABC on demand I was cutting and glue gunning my Friday night away making red, white and seersucker pendant garland to hang.
Check out the before and after:
The best part? I spent less than $200 and nailed the deadline! A little outside the box creativity goes a long way.
Until next time,
Don't forget to add me to your interests lists on Facebook to be the 1st to know whats going on!

We decided to write these series of blog posts as a means of informing clients future and existing about the steps involved in making their video. So far we've covered the planning and pre-production phase and the production process. Once all the footage is captured then post-production begins.
Post Production
Post Production is the term used to describe the final stage of making a film or video in which raw footage and audio are edited together to form the finished article. It also refers to the process of adding Title Graphics, Visual Effects, Sound Effects and Colour Grading.
Capture and Logging
Capture and Logging is the process of ingesting the footage into a computer and logging (or naming) each clip to correspond with Roll, Scene and Take. Software editing programs like Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premier allow you to add other notes and specific data to each clip should you need to.
On the majority of productions, sound is captured separately rather than on the inbuilt camera microphones, thus ensuring a higher sound quality. It is usually the job of the assistant film editor to sync the sound with the picture.
While the amount of edits you can create is virtually limitless editing is usually split into a few distinct phases.
PHASE 1: The Rough Cut. After all the tedious work of logging the footage and syncing the sound, it's time to start piecing together the story. During this phase the cuts and edits might be a bit unrefined but that is fine. No one aside from the editor and director looks at the rough cut. It's about deciding what footage is good and what works as a means of telling the story.
PHASE 2: The Second (third, forth, fifth edit) During this phase of the edit, the editor will add close-ups and cutaway shots. By the time this phase of the edit is complete, the story of the piece should be clear and flow together well.
PHASE 3: Final Cut. This phase usually refers to fine tuning and tweaking shots and the rhythm of the film. This is usually when the client is invited to view the video and provide feedback. Although the sound and colour will still need to be tweaked, the final cut should give you a good idea of how your video will look once completed.
Colour grading is a science and requires a great amount of patience and eye for detail. It refers to the process of altering or enhancing the colours of the video. Nowadays grading is used as a stylistic and creative choice to achieve 'looks' or improve the aesthetics of an image.
If the video uses a voice over then it is relatively easy to add it to the video edit. However if your video involved interviews and /or dialogue then the process is more intricate and requires more work. You may also need to add sound effects and ambience tracks to give the video a sense of place and reality. Music is also added at this point and the three elements are mixed to make up the film's soundtrack.
Title Graphics
When designing title graphics it's really important to keep in mind the tone and purpose of the video. If your video is lighthearted and humorous then by all means request fun and bouncy text. When creating video for business and corporate clients, we tend to adopt a more conservative style that is eye catching but doesn't put off viewers or distract them. Whatever style of title graphics you opt for you must keep your audience in mind and request that any titles, graphics or animation added to your video is sympathetic to the over-all purpose of your video.
Once the post-production process is complete, the video is ready to be exported. Your production company will know to take into consideration the delivery medium for your video. A video intended for web distribution will need to be compressed differently to a video on a DVD or Blu-Ray disk.
Post-production is a laborious process but with careful preparation and a disciplined workflow on the part of the production company it will run smoothly and your video will be ready on schedule. Now that you have the video it's time to make it work and help you generate more interest and customers. The final part of this series will address video marketing, delivery platforms and how best to use your video.

Firstly, shout out to 4 Star Minis for producing this miniature. They are a small group producing crowd sourced miniatures in small volume. Get online and get involved if you're keen on something pretty unique.
I love Dragon Ball Z and I couldn't miss the opportunity to paint this guy. It's a great sculpt and an excellent cast, I had heaps of fun painting it.
This time I took progress shots;
I messed up my first attempt at the skin. Tried the glaze I often use on faces, but it really doesn't work well over a large area and it just makes him look dirty rather than shaded so I started again.
So I went to a more traditional glazing and layering effort.
Much happier with the outcome. High contrast, rich colour. It does look a little like bare muscle with no skin in the last pic, but I added a few layers of skin shade at the end to clean it up and once the head was done I think it blended together much better.
I made the base myself using sculpy, just used a glass to get a circle base, used a ball to create a concave impression and then a scalpel to break it up and make it look cracked. A few small stones and some gouges and it's done.
Anyway I'm calling it done, pretty happy with the result and had a good time crafting it up.
