Loose Teeth
What causes loose teeth? Loose teeth are caused by the presence of bacteria and periodontal disease under the gums around the teeth. As the disease worsens, the gum pockets deepen due to loss of attachment structure. The bacteria from gingivitis and gum disease cause the body to destroy bone and gum tissue around the teeth, which are meant to hold the teeth in place.
Signs And Symptoms
Loose teeth typically have other signs and symptoms associated with the condition. These include:
- Bleeding gums
- Sore gums
- Swollen, purple or red gums
- Bleeding during brushing or flossing
- Pus around the tooth
- Food packing between the teeth or under the gums
- Gum recession
Many of these symptoms accompany loose teeth and are typical of active, severe gum disease. It's important to identify loose teeth as soon as possible so that treatment can be completed before it is too late. Here are some great ways to fight and treat gum disease.
Once it is discovered that you have loose teeth, there is usually severe periodontal disease with bone loss. When one tooth has this condition it also places adjacent teeth at increased risk, due to the teeth sharing the same bone structure between them. Loose teeth are usually not evident until periodontal disease has surpassed moderate disease levels and is currently in the severe state of the disease.
The progression of tooth mobility is based on the amount of bone loss associated with the tooth. Even a small amount of mobility means there is severe disease around the tooth.
Neglecting this condition can allow the disease to progress rapidly, where the tooth is so loose that you cannot chew or apply any pressure to it, and it will eventually fall out. Loose teeth progress quickly as the bacterial plaque works its way deeper below the gums as the tooth moves back and forth. (1)
Dangers And Health Risks
Loose teeth are a sign that there are underlying health conditions. Periodontal disease causes loose teeth and is also associated with heart attack, stroke, diabetes and other systemic health conditions. For more information on treating periodontal disease, see our article about periodontitis.
How To Prevent Loose Teeth
Preventing loose teeth is as simple as practicing good oral hygiene, eating healthy, and keeping other systemic disease conditions in check. A healthy lifestyle that involves a balanced diet and exercise can boost your immune system to help fight disease conditions.
A good daily oral hygiene program includes brushing, rinsing, and flossing. Be sure to avoid harsh chemical toothpaste and instead use toothpaste and mouthwash with pure, proven ingredients. This will help kill the bacteria that lead to periodontal problems.
Effective plaque removal on a daily basis can prevent loose teeth and gum disease. Brushing into the gumlines and flossing below the gums removes disease-harboring bacteria. Additional nutritional supplementation and essential oils can help gingivitis conditions.
For more information on preventing loose teeth, see our section on treating Gingivitis. Here's 6 Things To Know About Loose Teeth.
How to Tighten Gums Around Loose Tooth
- Deep Cleanings (scaling and root planing)
- Locally-delivered antibiotic therapy
- Bone grafting
- Gingival grafting
- Extraction of loose teeth
- Tooth replacement of lost teeth with dental implants
Most treatments for loose teeth come at a great cost, with hundreds of dollars spent on deep cleanings, bone grafting and gum grafting in order to save a single tooth.
Extractions are reserved for the most severely loose teeth, which then require tooth replacement with appliances such as dental implants, which can cost over a thousand dollars. Response to therapy is normally evident within the first year after treatment. (2) Teeth with mobility typically do not respond to treatment as well as teeth infected with periodontal disease that exhibit no mobility.
Home Remedies
Effectively treating loose teeth alongside your dentist will also involve home remedies for loose teeth. These methods are the same as those used for Gum Disease and are the most important, while also being the most affordable remedies available.
Your Questions About Loose Teeth
My teeth feel loose. Is this normal? No. Healthy teeth in an adult will never be loose. Very mild movement may be seen in younger children whose permanent tooth roots are still forming. If your teeth are noticeably loose and move more than a millimeter in any given direction then there is cause for alarm.
Why are my teeth loose? Teeth become loose due to the destruction of attached bone and gum around the tooth. This happens because of gum infections like gum disease or periodontitis. Bacteria from the conditions cause the body to pull away from the diseased area, resulting in less stability around the tooth.
Can loose teeth be saved? Depending on the severity of the loose tooth, it may or may not be able to be saved. Severely loose teeth usually result in loss of the tooth and possible harm to the adjacent teeth. Moderately loose teeth can be treated through home prevention methods and conventional therapy.
Loose gum and how to fix. Removing disease bacteria from around a tooth with gum disease can allow the gum tissue to tighten and even re-attach to the tooth, causing it to become slightly tighter once again.
At what point will my loose teeth be lost? If your tooth sways easily side to side or moves up and down in a vertical direction, it is most likely beyond the point of repair. Treatment should be completed to remove the diseased tooth and remove any existing bacteria in the mouth to prevent the loss of additional teeth.
Can I just pull my loose tooth? Pulling teeth should be the last possible option when it comes to dental care. Nothing is quite as good as your natural teeth, so teeth should be kept healthy and maintained when at all possible. Losing a tooth due to disease means you also have to consider tooth replacement options, due to the effect it will have on surrounding teeth and normal functions such as chewing.

Tzeentch vs Seraphon
abdillachris posted a topic in ChaosHi guys, So I'm fairly new to the game and in ine of the games I played I kept getting wiped out by Seraphon. Now I am entering into my first tournament and I'm up against a Seraphon army. Any tips on how to counter it?
Hello, I would like to trade one Seraphon Starclaw Strikehost for Daemons. I have an urge for lots of Slaaneshi Daemons, especially the ones from Wrath and Rapture but we can discuss. I would prefer everything to be unassembled and unpainted but we can discuss. The Strikehost is unassembled apart from 10 Skinks (just bodies on bases) and I'm willing to throw in some other Seraphon things (picks from my Old Lizardman army which just needs Biostrip and rebasing). If you are interested, drop me a message. Would be cool to do the swap at Warhammer World and we can even have a game (I'll bring my Pink Ogors and you can smash me at AOS as I have no idea what I'm doing any more). Cheers
Looking to Sell Old Tiktaq'To Model
Liath posted a topic in For sale and TradesHi Guys I'm going through my old Lizardmen and have come across this guy. He's in good condition, the Terradon is painted (although not to any extraordinary manner) and Tiktaq'To himself has been primed white. I'm based in the UK, is anyone interested in him. I'd be hoping for £10 + P&P but am happy to negotiate.

Starting a Seraphon Army
Natepoleon posted a topic in OrderHowdy there folks, I am starting up a Seraphon army with some old bits I have sitting around from awhile ago. Before I go and buy a whole bunch of new reptilian friends I wanted to get some advice from you experienced folks. I do have a few caveats, I have about 30 Saurus Warriors, a Skink Starpriest, a Saurus Oldblood, and 12 Saurus Guard, (I bought the old Lizardmen Regiment back in fantasy but converted the Saurus Knights out of it as Ork Bikers ). Also I happen to have an Engine of the Gods. What I am looking for is a fun list that focuses on that incredible infantry with big dinosaurs as support. I do not want to run a slann and spam summoning, it is an interesting and exciting way to play, my main Sigmar army is Legions of Nagash. While I do not mind being infantry focused similar to LoN I would like something that is new and refreshing to play when I decide I do not want to be an arguably overpowered skeleton. Thanks for reading my little novel.
Allegiance Cards: Seraphon
Hanskrampf posted a file in Files
Version 4.00.00
334 downloadsAge of Sigmar started out simple enough. But the first General's Handbook changed a lot of things. Suddenly you could personalise a few things for your army with command traits for your general and artefacts for your heroes. Then dropped the first battletomes which included allegiance abilities. And the amount grew rapidly. Because I don't like flipping back and forth in my books for every other ability, I created some cards to help keep the important rules right at the table, beside your models. All cards are available as print files with 3mm bleed and cutting marks, as a 'web' version (for viewing on smartphones/tablets), US letter and DIN A4 printing sheet. each set contains: cover / card backside, Battle Traits, Command Traits, Artefacts, cards for spell lores and faction specific skills card size is 63 x 88 mm (same as Pokemon, Magic, 40k Datacards, etc.) language: English I tried to keep the original wording, but sometimes I had to abbreviate it to fit on the card without scaling down the font size. The rule intentions should still be clear. 'Dice' was continuously replaced with D3 or D6, 'wound roll' with 'To-Wound roll' (same for hit), 'Mortal Wounds' sometimes with 'MW' each set can be stored in a faction specific card box, with contents listed on the back (instructions) If you find any errors or have suggestions, please let me know. I had fun creating these cards and hope people will find them useful and have fun using them in their games. All rules, artwork and the Age of Sigmar logo © Games Workshop PLC These cards are for personal use only and you should always keep your General's Handbook and/or Battletome nearby to solve any conflicts from bad wording on the cards. These cards are only a playing aid and never could nor should replace an official publication. Please let me know if I have used anything you would like to be removed. Overview and changes
Lost Kingdom Miniatures: Cuetzpal Empire
Ghalar posted a topic in Painting and ModellingHello guys, I don't know if you have seen an awesome campaign on kickstarter that involves awesome lizardmen mianiatures :D Here is the link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1115856510/lost-kingdom-miniatures-cuetzpal-empire/description They have already completed one KS campaign before this one and the minis were as detailed as they promised (dwarves and orcs) :) Have a good day and I hope some of you will back this awesome project! :)
Let's Chat: Seraphon 2017For discussion about lists and standout units in the new handbook. I'll go over my initial thoughts of what stands out to get the party started. The allegiance ability is amazing. Five free lightning chariots per game (assuming a 2+ roll) with no range restrictions and no need for the priest to be nearby to cast the prayer. The lizards seem to now be amphibians because this is some SLIPPERY shenanigans. If Slann roll double to cast, add 6" to the range of the spell. Slann can unbind from anywhere. Croak at 450 is about right. The command ability can save your life. The frog's spells are great on a Balewind Vortex with an Astrolith bearer, hitting the entire table with mortal wounds. The command ability can be used to fix a bad roll on the allegiance ability. Or any bad roll. Engine of the gods is worth taking alongside a Slann. Rolling four and choosing three almost guarantees you can select the 25" mortal wound blast. I rolled 40 times in a row and missed it twice. Furthermore, if you use Kroak's command ability, it's totally feasible to roll triple sixes, even moreso if you cast the Starseer's spell which allows you to increase a single die roll for a unit by +1 (you can also give this to a slann via command trait). Getting this is probably an auto-win, as you get an entire extra turn of scoring. Knights are great now. 5+ save ignoring rend -1. Might be as good as liberators since they are fast and can march for double speed. The firelance battalion, at only 100 points, is a screaming deal and you could easily build a list around these guys. All the Saurus are good. A Saurus heavy army could be led by the Oldblood on Carnosaur, giving every hero within 20" 2 extra attacks to one of their weapons. Skinks are ridiculously good for 60 points. 40 wounds for 200 is absurd. They will go down to battleshock, but that still means some powerful unit directed enough attacks to do 20 wounds at 200 points! An incredible trade that can give you an advantage. I will be buying more skinks. Artillery is possible. I like Salamanders. I like the idea of a summoning list using Kroak or a Slann. Bring out whatever you need to get the job done. I would take a slann and give him the ability to come back with d3 wounds if I am worried about the opponent sniping him off first turn. The strength is the versatility. So many warscrolls with battalions and heroes now pointed appropriately means the Seraphon have all the tools to get it done. Chameleon skinks remain amazing. They can set up right in the opponents face and are pointed well at 120. 3+ save in cover is thematic and very powerful. The threat of summoning these in can cause all sorts of problems for your opponent. Eternal Starhost remains the standout. Command Traits: Slann: General can re-roll one on cast. Very good. Can take the spells of the skinks. Also great. Free 200 point starseer spell. Teleport 2 units per turn? Amazing. Saurus: Use both inspiring presence and the command ability. This is awesome. Throw your unit of 40 skinks or 40 warriors in to stay. Re-roll saves of 1 is also nice. Skink: These are odd. I will probably never run these. Using celestial rites twice is ok, but a skink general may just get shot off quickly. What is everyone's favorite artefact? They all seem good. Mortal wound spam remains a problem. Does anyone like Kroxigor? The jaws ability is cool and could slay a hero, but that's a bit too situational for me. Dracothians tail: An amazing battalion. Single drop with two artefacts. Now we have a reason to paint those knights from the SC boxes. (Does kouteq count as a named character? can he take artefacts?) Fangs of Sotek: Very cool as well. Two command abilities. Use the Slann as normal and use the oldblood to buff your saurus heroes. What's everyone looking to run?
Carnosaurus/Troglodon Magnetizing, Carnosaurus part
deynon posted a topic in Painting and ModellingHere I bring the magnetizing that I made for my Carnosaurus of the Carnosaurus/Troglodon set. Cause Otherways it would have been too long as video I decided to separate the Carnosaurus realization from the Troglodon one (and other sub parts about other option avalaible). I prefer to use the video way both cause I have my YT channel and cause otherway the written step by step explanation would require quite a lot of writing and wooyld lose some of the interest I think. About the color Scheme is simply cause I prefer the old forest tye to the actual ones, instead for the scales I loved the painting about the Sacred Armies in a WD and I liked the Idea about the "preferred ones" so for now they are white in these moment, but I'm deciding wich scheme of colore integrate in this main models. So here it's the video, I hope you'll like it as much as I liked to realize the model itself^^
Only Order
Uprising posted a topic in Painting and ModellingHello everyone, and welcome. Brief Intro: Lately, I have been putting the hobby(playing war-games for 10 years) on the back burner due to multiple changes in my life (moving, new job, losing 50 lbs), but I kept buying models, battletomes and paint in the 8 month hiatus. I always enjoyed painting and assembly (actually playing varies), but do not have the time like I did in High school/college for the hobby. So, I made some hard choices and sold about 14 armies/projects/other games and kept my favorite. Surprisingly, My 3 out of 6 favorite armies are order(stormcast are simply tagging along). In this thread you will be seeing SCE, Slyvaneth, Daughters, Seraphon, maybe Deepkin, and other projects. Each army will be planned, have phases, tutorials, and story. Battle reports are possible but later down the road. This thread is a way to stay focus, and motivate, and give back to the community. I will be doing a status updated every Friday (I will post also when models/lore/battle reports are finish). In order for preventing burnout, I work best when I have a main project, and a smaller side project for variety/break. This thread may update into a blog at one point (depends if this works). So let it begin.
1k mixed orderHey all, I'll be taking my daughter along to a local 1k tournament soon, but she's having some trouble putting a list she likes together. Her only concrete choice so far is that it must be built around her Anointed Frostheart Phoenix as the tank... I don't play order, and most of her stuff is tangentially purchased or in the case of the stormcast, a 2nd hand army picked up cheap... I've no real clue what's good or not, and wondered if some kind souls could give her some advice i could pass along? ? A complete list of her guys; Frostheart Phoenix Oldblood on carnosaur Scar vet on carnosaur Scar vet on cold one Skink star priest Sorceress on black dragon Archmage Lord castellant Lord celestant Lord relictor Knight venator Knight azyros 20 skinks 20 saurus warriors 10 gladeguard 10 liberators 10 judicators 15 saurus knights 5 chameleon skinks 12 aetherwings 1 gyrocopter 5 decimators 5 protectors 2 concussors, or fulminators, or tempestors 1 gryph hound 3 vanguard palladors 3 hurricane captors 9 longstrike raptors Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
Morghast beware of CarnosaursPlayed against Seraphon today and his Carnosaur and other, and then stuff and into my morghast...whatever lost one within 8" of a carnosaur and the bloodroar ability says: if your opponent makes a battleshock Test within 8" roll a dice, if your roll is higher than his (BS-Test) he looses d3 MODELS if you loose models, you always MUST make a battleshock test, even if it is autopass...so, bring Big Daddy, inspire or get wrecked
Building up to Heavenswatch StarhostHello everyone! After jumping from one army to another I have finally been able to find one that has completely captivated me. I ended up opting for the Seraphon and reviewing the Batallions I found Heavenswatch Starhost, which has two things that I really like: skinks and monsters (I love all of the Seraphon but the skinks are my favorite things) For now we play 1k games since we are building our armies slowly. The list I had planned for 2k is as follows: Leaders Skink Starseer (200) - General - Command Trait : -not sure- - Artefact : -not sure- Skink Starpriest (80) - Artefact : -not sure- Skink Priest (80) - Cloak of Feathers Units 40 x Skinks (200) -Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (60) -Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (60) -Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 6 x Kroxigor (320) -2x Moonhammers Behemoths Bastiladon (280) Bastiladon (280) Stegadon (240) Battalions Heavenswatch Starhost (200) Total: 2000 / 2000 Can you think of any way to move it to 1k? Without the battalion if necessary, I simply want to prepare my army at the same time that I am using it to get used to the minis. I thought it could be something like this: Leaders Skink Starpriest (80) - General Battleline 40 x Skinks (200) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (60) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers 10 x Skinks (60) - Boltspitters & Star Bucklers Units 6 x Kroxigor (320) - 2x Moonhammers Behemoths Bastiladon (280) Total: 1000 /1000 What do you think of the complete list in 2k? I would like to put a Slann but I think I would be short in other fields. In my warhammer group we do not usually play competitive, so the power of a list is not too important, simply that my army can defend is enough.

OracleOfScales posted a topic in For sale and TradesHey guys, sadly due to real life and a few occuring I hadn't planned for I'm going to have to sell my Seraphon army. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Warhammer-Age-of-Sigmar-Seraphon-army/253350278898 Here is the auction, it's about 2200 points and it's going for whatever people bid for it.
WTS some old Metal Lizardmen/Seraphon
DynamicCalories posted a topic in For sale and TradesHey folks, found some old metal Lizardmen stuff, seems it sells ok on eBay but I prefer to go through channels like TGA to see if there is interest first. 3x metal kroxigors (but no bases, sorry) 6x metal chameleon skinks 1x skink priest UK posting preferable, can take PayPal!
Seraphon army - should I get *more* Skinks?So here's the deal. I have a still-growing Seraphon army that I'll be taking to Adepticon in March for my first major tournament. I have no illusions of playing at the top tables, as I'm not that good at the game. I'm more in it for the fun experience. Anyway, I have the following units: Slann Starmaster Saurus Scar-Veteran on Cold One Saurus Oldblood Skink Starpriest Saurus Astrolith Bearer (just got it for Christmas) Skink Priest with Priestly Trappings 12x Saurus Warriors (spears) 7x Saurus Knights (lances) 15x Saurus Guard 24x Skinks (blowpipes & bucklers - just got them for Christmas) Troglodoni Bastiladon with Solar Engine Stegadon with bow (I also have a Balewind Vortex) I've got some Christmas money burning a hole in my pocket, and I'm considering another box of Skinks as my next purchase, which would improve my Battleline options for the tournament. I'm curious to see what advice I'd get from the community on my next purchase... I was thinking about going crazy with Battleline and getting 40 Skinks, 40 Warriors, and 15 Guard, but that eliminates points for the big beasties. And of course that involves getting a box of Skinks, a box of Warriors, and another Start Collecting box (yowch big money!). Thoughts?
New Seraphon Player- List Advice Please
Agent of Chaos posted a topic in OrderGreetings fellow lizard people! I recently acquired a second hand, former Lizardman army and thought I would take a stab at these Seraphon beasties I've heard so much about. Below is the army list which works out to be 120 points short of 2000 and I come to you with cap (Aztec headdress) in hand for advice. What artifacts would you recommend for the heroes (I'm liking Great Rememberer for the Slaan's command trait but open to others)? Are the models I have going to synergise well? Is there something weak/pointless that you would drop? Is there an auto-include for this army? (Saurus Astrolith Bearer perhaps?) Should I be choosing between a lot of Skinks or a lot of Saurus or is it good to have heaps of both? How to spend the last 120 points? Save them for summoning? Saurus Sunblood- I like this guy's punch in melee and gives me a 3rd hero Another 20 Skinks? 10 x Chamelon Skinks? Drop 10 x Saurus Warriors and go for the Shadowstrike Starhost battalion? Re-jig the list and add some Stormcast as allies? Other ideas? Strategy wise I see the Kroxigor, Salamanders and Skink Handlers operating as an independent force on my flank, the Saurus Warriors hold the middle while the Saurus Guard protect the Slaan. The Skinks run around looking for objectives and generally harassing. The Ripperdactyls probably die after an alpha-strike on a suitable target and the Stegadon does Stegadon things (stamps on stuff I guess). Thanks in advance for any help!!!

Halflings claim Best Order!!
AKING posted a blog entry in HALFLINGS! Just halflings.Halflings are back!! My apologies for not posting for a while, but college got the best of me. Still, last weekend I was fortunate enough to attend an event in Ohio hosted by "Rend 4" Club with my good friend Chuck Moore. You can check out his coverage of the event right here Anyway, the day before the event came and more than half of my army wasn't painted so I had to hold a 6-hour painting session after school to get three colors minimum on all my models (I'm sure some of you know the struggle). However, the task was accomplished and the Halfling "Free Peoples" force was ready to go. Going into event, I was not expecting to do too well since I brought a mediocre list (Steamtank, archers, and demigryph knights are not particularly overpowered), but I planned to have fun anyway. My first opponent was Michael representing Pittsburgh "Steel City Sigmar" club, and from what I've heard he was quite a good player and indeed he was! We played "Duality of Death" and boy I got crushed! His stardrake held one of the obejctives the whole game, while he promptly shot off anything that I tried to hold the second objective with. I've got a major loss that game, but I did score a secondary objective and Mike was a great sport and it was great chatting with him throughout the game! Getting crushed the first game didn't particularly get my hopes up going firther into the tournament but I still was in quite high spirits and even managed to get second in the Painting Comp with my "Ice Queen". Moving on to the second game I ended up playing Chuck's Khorne in "Battle for the Pass" as we both ended up with pretty much the same scores. So far, my Halflings had an undefeated record against his Khorne, and maybe someday he will get that hobbit blood, but today was not that day! Getting initiative pretty much every turn, and rolling incredibly well with my shooting I managed to score a major victory and a secondary objective for that game. Going into the last game, I played Dave Roke who is a part of "Rend 4" club, and I'm just now realizing that I played against all three clubs represented at the event, including my own. The scenario was "Starstrike" and Dave used a Seraphon army with Celestant Prime as an ally. It was my first time playing Seraphon and they are quite a formidable force, especially with Slann casting three spells per turn and blocking all my spells. The absolute MVP of that game was definetely my General on a Griffon holding out on his own against Celestant Prime and Saurus Guard with 1 wound left, and rolling 12 succesful save rolls of 3+. In the end, it was an extremely close game up until the last second of the last turn, where if Dave managed to kill one more model he would've won the major! But that was not the case, as I managed to snatch a major victory from right under the Lizard's claws, which put me at 4th overall and surprisingly 1st in Order! In the end of tha day, I got to play some amazing games of Age of Sigmar and meet some fantastic people passionate about the hobby! The event was a success and the T.O. (Neil Larocca) did a great job putting it all together! That's it from me this time! See you in probably like another month or so. Hope you like what I've got, Until next time!
Seraphon Stormcast Alliance?
Piepertje posted a topic in Age of Sigmar DiscussionsHi! I have recently started playing warhammer AOS and o boy I am hooked! I started with a AOS starter set with stormcast eternals pitched up against the Bloodborn (a friend of mine took this part of the set). I initially thought the stormcast eternals were kind of lame but I changed my view completely after painting them and reading the rules. But still, I am inclined to expand my army with Seraphons. The first purchace I want to do is the start collecting set of the Seraphons since it seems such good value. After that, I am a bit unsure. I really like the Bastiladon. A big ranged unit couldn't hurt and it looks great! So far, i came up with this list for 1500 points: Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur (280) Skink Starseer (200) Lord-Celestant On Dracoth (220) Lord-Relictor (80) 10 x Saurus Warriors (100) 5 x Saurus Knights (100) 5 x Paladin Retributors (220) 10 x Liberators (200) 3 x Prosecutors (100) Bastiladon (280) Total 1780 points, so i have to make some cuts.. But i would't know what to cut or replace! What do you think of this composition? If you have any suggestions, please let me know!
Seraphon list, c&c pleaseDusting off my dinos for a game this weekend against stormcast and was planning on running this list 3x10 saurus guard Eternity warden Eternal starhost Slann (great rememberer) Skink priest 2x5 chameleon skinks Bastiladon Stegadon So how bad does this suck?
guide How to Start Collecting: Seraphon
GingerGiant posted a topic in OrderHowdy, folks! This is a guide to show you how to get the most out of your Start Collecting: Seraphon box. I believe the ideal number of these boxes to purchase is 2, in order to minimize the number of unusable models (following Matched Play unit composition rules) from the Knights and Warriors units. However, if your opponents dont mind you paying points-per-model, instead of the increments listed in the General's Handbook, you'll likely be perfectly fine with a single box. With two boxes, you get a solid mix of different units to build, which you can mix and match for 1000 point games. When I use the phrase "full command," it refers to having three models in a unit representing a single leader (Alpha), standard-bearer (Stardrake Icon), and musician (Wardrums). This terminology comes from Warhammer Fantasy Battle. Sprue Breakdown ...for one Start Collecting: Seraphon box. Carnosaur/Troglodon 1 Carnosaur/Troglodon sprue, which is used to assemble the majority of the Carnosaur or Troglodon. 1 Carnosaur/Trogolodon "Riders" sprue, which contains bits for the Saurus Oldblood, Saurus Scar-Veteran, and Skink Oracle. It comes with an additional set of legs for the Saurus Rider to be assembled "on foot". You can find parts of the Troglodon's collar and the back spines on the sprue as well. There are several weapons options and decorations on this sprue, some of which are for units that no longer exist in Age of Sigmar. There are lots of good bits on this sprue for decorating and conversions. If you use the sprues to build a Saurus Oldblood or Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur, you will have leftover bits with which to convert a Skink Hero of some kind. I recommend a Skink Starpriest, as I think he's very useful with the units you will have from Start Collecting: Seraphon. You can also magnetize the Saurus rider to switch between the Saurus Oldblood and Scar-Veteran. I recommend modeling the Saurus rider with armor. If you use the sprues to build a Troglodon, you will have leftover bits with which to create a Saurus Hero on foot. I found this handy guide which explains how to create a Saurus Hero on Foot. With the amazing power of magnets, this Saurus Hero can represent either a Saurus Oldblood or Saurus Sunblood. Saurus Warriors 3 Saurus Warriors Club sprues, which have the bodies, legs, club-wielding arms, shield arms, and shields. 3 Saurus Warriors Spears & Command sprues, which has the heads, spear-wielding arms, banner-wielding arm, two banners toppers, arm holding a drum, arms holding mallets,s. With the bits provided, for each 4 Saurus Warriors you assemble, one model may be assembled as an Alpha Talon, one model may be assembled to carry a Stardrake Icon, and one model may be assembled to carry Wardrums. If the minimum size of a unit of Saurus Warriors was 4 models, you could build three 4-model units, each with full command, from a single Start Collecting: Seraphon box. You are not forced to assemble any Saurus Warrior as a Alpha Talon, Stardrake Icon-bearer, or Wardrummer. As an alternative to Saurus Warriors, you can convert their weapons into polearms by snipping the heads off of the spears, and attaching the heads of the clubs. Tell your opponents they are Saurus Guard. Only 3 of the clubs resemble the polearms from Saurus Guard, so you may look to other bits for an appropriate polearm head. I recommend painting converted Saurus Guard with faded scales/skin to look older and more weathered than Saurus Warriors or Saurus Knights. For Matched Play, these sprues provide enough parts to assemble a 10-model unit of Saurus Warriors with full command. Two Saurus Warriors will be left over. If you make the Saurus Guard conversion, you can assemble two 5-model units of Saurus Guard with full commands, or one 10-model unit of Saurus Guard with full command. Two Saurus "Guard" will be left over. Saurus Knights 2 Saurus Knights Lance sprues, which have lance-wielding arms, the banner-wielding arm, banner accessories (including toppers), shield-carrying arms, wardrums, some club-wielding arms, an alternative head for the Alpha Knight's mount, and some decorations. 2 Saurus Knights body sprues, which contain the Saurus bodies, remaining club-wielding arms, Saurus heads, including an additional head with which to indicate the Alpha Knight, and some decorations. 8 Cold One sprues, each of which contains all the bits to assemble a complete Cold One mount. With the bits provided, for each 4 Saurus Knights you assemble, one model may be assembled as an Alpha Knight, one model may be assembled to carry a Stardrake Icon, and one model may be assembled to carry Wardrums. If the minimum size of a unit of Saurus Knights was 4 models, you could build two 4-model units, each with full command, from a single Start Collecting: Seraphon box. You are not forced to assemble any Saurus Knight as an Alpha Knight, Stardrake Icon-bearer, or Wardrummer. For Matched Play, these sprues provide enough parts to assemble a 5-model unit of Saurus Knights with full command. Three Saurus Knights will be left over.
2 Rules questions - Bloodroar & Cosmic Engine
OracleOfScales posted a question in Rules QuestionsHey guys! I'm a new player and just have 2 rules questions. 1) Carnosaur's Bloodroar - If a enemy unit takes a battleshock test within 8" I can roll for this ability. If for example a unit has Bravery of 8 and only loses one model, although they cannot fail the battleshock test is technically still made? If it is I can then roll for the Bloodroar. 2) Engine of Gods - Cosmic Engine 14-17 A Seraphon unit is called forth from Azyr to join your army. Set up all of its models within 8" of this model, and away from 9" of anyone else. I assume you have to pay for this unit via reinforcement points?

Dummy movement was well controlled. After the dummy moved forward into the airbag, it rebounded into the seat without its head coming close to any stiff structure that could cause injury. However, there was too much upward movement of the steering wheel.
Action shot taken during the frontal offset crash test.
The dummy's position in relation to the steering wheel and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained well, although there was more steering wheel movement than is desirable.
Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy moved back into the seat, and its head did not hit anything.
Forces on the left foot and both lower legs were high enough to indicate the possibility of injuries.

Every work relationship is different. But, certain ways of managing relationships work better than others.
I noticed that people in business go out to dinner with each other frequently. This actually improves their business relationship and productivity. It is a proven fact that people who are chummy with each other will treat each other much better in a business relationship.
Office Distance
However, employees tend to be more distant, especially the ones I have dealt with. They rarely want to go out to dinner, especially not with you. They want your money, not your dinner! They don't want to be your friend. So, how do you handle them?
If you are too distant, they will not do good work for you. They will know you are not watching, and know their work doesn't matter. If you are overbearing the employees will resent you. If you show favoritism for one person the others will get jealous. So, what do you do?
Office Friendships
If you are friends with your employees, that can turn against you as they will be more able to manipulate you. You will be tempted to talk about private personal things with them that you probably shouldn't as that can get turned on you as well. The worst situation you can create at work is a romance between people of different levels. Those relationships are usually a powerful older man with a younger beautiful woman. Don't do this! It can lead to a lot of complications and trouble.
Being in a position to fire someone
You need to always be in a position to fire someone on the spot. People tend to not do very good work these days. If you lack replacements for someone, you are stuck with them long after their work has gone down hill. If you are emotionally attached to someone, if their work goes down hill, you won't want to fire them which is another handicap. The boss always needs to keep the upper hand, so don't put any bindings on your hand that will inhibit your power!
As a boss, you need to be there to answer questions, mentor, and encourage. You need to set limits, and be an authority too. Being a nice authority who is caring, but firm seems to me to be the ideal characteristic of a boss if you want to be liked and also get things done. Too nice and the work will suffer, and too mean and you drive people away emotionally. Instead of spending time socializing, spend time mentoring, and teaching people new skills that will give them a future. Many people want a work future, and if they think you can give it to them, they will be more loyal to you which in turn gives you more power! You gain power from helping others and keeping efficiency, not by being people's friends or being too mean!
The way you keep your relationships with those you do business with is different. If you are on the same level as a supplier, or contractor, you can be friends. In real life, that can work. Just remember that your assessment of their work is business, and friendship is friendship. Don't let the friendship interfere with your standards for their work. But, you shouldn't be friends with those in a lower position in your company or in other people's companies as that tends not to work well. They resent the fact that you are above them, and workers by nature tend to be unfriendly towards management. It is a sad rule of life. But, remember, that life is like a National Geographic documentary. There are rules to the jungle, and you need to obey those rules. By the way, I have to go because a lion is chasing me. I need to remember not to run as that would identify me as prey. Hmmm. I'll let her sniff my finger instead of running. Bye!

One of the world's leading experts in the field of psychiatry, Charles B. Nemeroff, M.D., Ph.D., is joining the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and UHealth – University of Miami Health System, as professor and chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Dr. Nemeroff spent the past 18 years building the psychiatry department at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta into one of the top ten departments in the United States. Currently he is the Reunette W. Harris Professor of Psychiatry at Emory.
"The Miller School of Medicine needs a strong leader in psychiatry and behavioral health and we have found that person in Charlie Nemeroff," said Pascal J. Goldschmidt, M.D., Senior Vice President for Medical Affairs and Dean of the Miller School and CEO of UHealth. "Like other large metropolitan areas, South Florida has a sizeable population of individuals with significant mental health disorders, and the presence of a world class leader in psychiatry can positively impact the community in a broad and deep manner."
Dr. Nemeroff says academic psychiatry departments have three main missions: research, clinical care and teaching. In the research realm, he plans to build on already very strong areas at UM such as aging and its related complications, including memory loss and depression; HIV, especially as it impacts women patients and caregivers; and drug abuse. He also plans to enhance the research portfolio by recruiting experts in mood disorders, schizophrenia and the interface of physical illness and psychiatry.
On the clinical front, the medical campus currently has more than 300 hospital beds licensed for psychiatry patients. "I am extraordinarily dedicated to working closely with the leadership at Jackson Memorial Hospital, which has a very large psychiatry service, to provide the best care possible," says Dr. Nemeroff. "In addition, I plan to expand the department's role in psychiatry at University of Miami Hospital and enhance its presence at the Miami VA Medical Center."
Because of his role in developing screening tools for the assessment of depression, anxiety and eating disorders in college students, Dr. Nemeroff hopes to help ensure the best mental health care for students at all levels at the University of Miami.
When it comes to medical students, Dr. Nemeroff says he is committed to encouraging the best medical students to go into psychiatry and to developing a nationally competitive residency program. He has plans to reach out to physicians in the community through continuing medical education opportunities.
"As academic psychiatrists we should be a resource for the entire community, and we have an obligation to take evidence-based medicine and pass that knowledge on to physicians in the community to help elevate the level of care everywhere," says Dr. Nemeroff. "I like seeing patients, especially receiving referrals of hard-to-treat patients, and I believe I can help serve the South Florida psychiatric community and that should absolutely be part of the job we do."
Over the course of his career Dr. Nemeroff has compiled a remarkable record of scientific contributions to the field of psychiatry. For the past two decades he has focused his research on the relationship between child abuse and neglect as a risk factor for the development of depression and anxiety disorders in adulthood. In particular, he has examined through brain imaging and neurochemical testing what happens to children's brains when they are exposed to traumatic life events that leave them vulnerable in adulthood.
"It turns out that individuals with depression and a history of child abuse or neglect physically have a different brain than patients with depression without child abuse," explains Dr. Nemeroff. "In patients with chronic depression, two years or longer, two-thirds of those patients had a history of child abuse (sexual or physical), loss of a parent or severe neglect."
Dr. Nemeroff plans to use brain imaging, along with genetic markers, to tackle one of the big issues in psychiatry today -- the failure of patients to respond to treatment. Dr. Nemeroff explains that it is critical because "antidepressants take three to five weeks to work, and during that time a patient's family is affected, their work suffers, and the risk for suicide increases. It is very important to match a patient with a treatment that will work, and hopefully one day soon we will be able to predict who will respond to what treatment."
Another key area of research for Dr. Nemeroff is what he calls the "curious" relationship between depression and heart disease. "I am very excited about moving this area forward at UM because of the very strong cardiology program already in place at the medical school," says Dr. Nemeroff. "Surprisingly, depression is as great a risk factor for developing heart disease as is smoking, and even one episode of depression can increase that risk."
Many patients with cancer have concurrent depression, and treatment of their depression improves their quality of life and adherence to their cancer treatment. "There is some evidence that treatment of depression might even increase survival time," adds Dr. Nemeroff. "I am particularly interested in studying whether depression, with all of its biological effects, is a risk factor for the development of certain forms of cancer."
Dr. Nemeroff received his M.D. and Ph.D. in neurobiology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His residency training in psychiatry took place at both the University of North Carolina and Duke University. Following his residency, he joined the faculty at Duke as professor of psychiatry and pharmacology and chief of the Division of Biological Psychiatry. He moved to Emory in 1991 as chairman of psychiatry.
There he took an average department to become one of the top ten in the country.
Dr. Nemeroff will begin his new position on December 1. "I believe all the pieces are in place to allow me to lead the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine to be one of the preeminent departments in the country," Nemeroff said. "The support of Dean Goldschmidt, of the medical school leadership team and of the University of Miami during the recruitment process has been phenomenal and I look forward to working with them in achieving goals for the department and goals for the school."

The Week In Comics: Palicki Is Prince, Spidey Gets Nubbly, Comics Are Doomed
As The Washington Post's Michael Cavna (and many others) noted yesterday, the golden tiara has officially passed to Adrianne Palicki, who'll assume the role of Diana Prince/Wonder Woman in an upcoming TV pilot for NBC.
It's a David E. Kelley project, a fact that caused those familiar with the man's quirk-riddled oeuvre to make jokes about Ally McBeal in star-spangled panties. Meanwhile, comic book nerds like me (very like me) (okay: me) made jokes about dancing clay babies that were greeted with blank stares, as is only meet.1
It seemed a little ... reflexively unkind. Autonomically snarky. But then the pilot's shooting script started making its way around the internet. Others have weighed in already — fans of television, and fans of the character — and I'm not sure how much can be reasonably taken away from the exercise, at this early stage. One thing is clear, though: Of all the David E. Kelley joints, this thing's shaping up to be the David E. Kelleyest.
But Palicki's performance is a big reason I'm still catching up on Friday Night Lights, so: We're putting this development in the plus column.
It's pretty lonely, over there.
Law and Order: Special Artists Unit
On Tuesday, Heidi MacDonald's comic news site The Beat highlighted (highlit?) a weirdly charming corner of the internet, in which artist Brandon Bird asked artists to choose and interpret Direct TV's one-line summaries of Law & Order episodes. The pieces were created for an exhibition called "These are Their Stories," which ran in LA last summer. There are lots; they are fun. Go, look.
The Comic Book is Doomed, Again, Still, Some More
Let's stipulate that nobody knows how the advent of digital comics will change the direct market (read: comics shops), or the comics publishing industry, or the reading habits of comics fans. Yet discussion of the change that is coming to book publishing — and the peculiar niche that comics occupy — continues, and has just gotten a bit louder, given this week's bankruptcy of a major book chain that brought comics (especially manga) back out of the comics shops and into the mainstream marketplace.
Last week — over on The Beat again — the awesomely-named writer Torsten Adair weighed in with two thoughtful pieces that advanced the discussion. In the first, he warns that digital distribution is not the panacea the comics industry is aching for; in the second, he examines what comics shops can do about it.
Many took issue with Adair's points, and the comments sections of both posts consist of extended, civil and ultimately heartening arguments enjoined by comics creators, retailers and publishers over just what the future brings. (The level of discourse is yet another reason The Beat should be in your RSS feed, if you care at all about comics.)
Inside baseball? Sure. But it's not about box scores and the infield-fly rule, it's about whether baseball itself will be around, in any recognizable form, five or ten years from now.
On This Issue You Don't Care About, We Stand Strong
Yesterday, on the Robot 6 blog of Comic Book Resources, Archie Comics announced that beginning in April, it would start releasing digital versions of comics on the same day those comics appear in stores, via the digital reader Graphic.ly. (They'll do the same thing via an Archie app and, in July, via the in-store service mentioned in Adair's posts over at The Beat.)
Many in the comics industry use the term "day-and-date" to describe the simultaneous appearance of digital and physical versions of a comic: "Archie Goes Day and Date with Graphic.Ly," for example. Comics writer Matt Fraction, on Twitter and elsewhere, has noted that the phrase ... rather sucks: It doesn't convey much information, and doesn't make all that much sense on its own.
His suggestion: "Same-day digital."
Let it be known that, here at Monkey See, we stand with Fraction. Because "day and date" is hella dumb.
The Amazing Spider-Man: Ol' Nub-Head
On Monday, Columbia Pictures released the title of their upcoming Spidey film reboot (The Amazing Spider-Man) along with first image of Andrew Garfield in full costume.
I'll have a bit more to say on this movie in this Friday's episode of Pop Culture Happy Hour, but for now, let's just note the costume's ... unusual texture.
A texture which caused Sound of Young America host Jesse Thorn to opine on Twitter: "We all agree that the new Spider-Man looks like he's made of ABA basketballs, correct?"
Dismemberment Plan: Bewitched, Bothered and Behanded
As we've noted in this space, Aquaman's been through a lot: Death of a son, end of a marriage, loss of a hand, death, an unfortunate sartorial dalliance with a seashell headband (which I'm not gonna link to, but TRUST ME.)
But DC brought him back to life last year, and things were looking up for him: His wife came back! And his hand! And the headband went the way of ... well, headbands, I suppose.
But as the weekly series (with the cruelly ironic name of Brightest Day), we quickly learned that Aquaman ... came back wrong. Now he can only summon zombie fish.
Go back and read that last sentence again. It may help to read it out loud to yourself, to get the full impact.
And two weeks ago, in what can only be called the unkindest cut of all, a villain done chopped his hand off. Again.
Dude can't catch a break. It's like his superpower.
And so I stand with my fellow Aquaman fans as, fearful but determined, jaws clenched, eyes welling with too-familiar tears, we await the inevitable return of the headband.
1 In the comics, Wonder Woman was born when the Queen of the Amazons shaped the clay of Paradise Island into the form of a baby, which the gods then imbued with life. So.

As 2017 is fast coming to a close, I have been wondering what your favorite golf moment was of this year. Maybe Jordan Spieth's bunker shot or The President's Cup? Did you finally get to play that "Dream" course that you have been wanting to play? For me, playing Harbour Town was definitely a highlight! I would be interested in hearing what made your season "one to remember"?

Landmark study published in Science magazine today
In today's issue of Science Express, researchers at the Whittemore-Peterson Institute (WPI), the Cleveland Clinic and the National Cancer Institute report that 67% of 101 chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) patients tested positive for infection with xenobiotic murine retrovirus (XMRV), a gammaretrovirus associated with a subset of prostate cancer. Only 3.7% of 218 healthy subjects tested were positive for the virus. Read the joint press release issued today. An abstract of the article will be available later today at http://www.sciencemag.org/sciencexpress/recent.dtl. The full article text is available to Science subscribers, American Association for the Advancement of Science members; one-day access to the AAAS site can be purchased for $15.00.
These important results provide evidence of the association of at least a subset of CFS cases with retroviruses, a hypothesis formed in the mid-1980s and pursued by several independent research groups. XMRV was recently discovered in a subset of prostate cancer patients' tumor cells and the finding by Lombardi et al may be the first documentation of XMRV infection in women.
The authors raise questions about this discovery at the end of the article, including "Is XMRV infection a causal factor in the pathogenesis of CFS or a passenger virus in the immunosuppressed CFS patient population?" This question and others warrant additional investigation and the replication of this study's findings in other patient cohorts should be a priority for the field. There is currently no commercial test available for XMRV and studies of antiviral and antiretroviral treatments must be conducted to test their efficacy against XMRV infection.
The CFIDS Association of America congratulates Dr. Mikovits and her team at the Whittemore-Peterson Institute and their collaborators at the Cleveland Clinic and National Cancer Institute for this landmark discovery. The findings themselves and publication of them in a journal of the stature and circulation of Science is a highly significant contribution to the field. This study and the high-profile publication are important validation of the reality and seriousness of CFS and those who suffer and have been stigmatized too long.
Detection of an infectious retrovirus, XMRV, in blood cells of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome. Lombardi VC, Ruscetti FW, Gupta JD, Pfost MA, Hagen KS, Peterson DL, Ruscetti SK, Bagni RK, Petrow-Sadowski C, Gold B, Dean M, Silverman RH, Mikovits JA. Science 8 October 2009. 1179052.

These beauties...well, I just made them and hung them all together on this stick. I like using sticks for displaying art. It gives the right feel to it and is complimentary, don't you think? Not a frame, but a framework from whence to rise. Like the beautiful jellyfish-like, sea creatures these are.
The technicalities (for hookers): mandala patterns on three of the sunburst jellyfish, one is a hexi, and the middle one is of course your traditional granny square, with two different color yarns, for thickness, added dimension and charm.

The central London branch of the Historical Association has arranged a private guided tour of Spencer House, London's finest surviving 18th century aristocratic palace, on 17 December.
Built between 1756-1766 for John, first Earl Spencer, an ancestor of Diana, Princess of Wales, Spencer House is in St James's Place and is recognised as one of the most ambitious aristocratic town houses ever built in London and the city's only great eighteenth-century private palace to survive intact. This magnificent house has regained the full splendour of its late eighteenth-century appearance after a ten-year restoration undertaken by RIT Capital Partners plc, under the Chairmanship of Lord Rothschild.
Tickets are £16. For further information about this and other Historical Association events, please email email@example.com or you can download a booking form here.

The £11.4 billion National Programme for IT in the NHS (NPfIT), the world's largest civilian information technology project, will soon either be scrapped or be subjected to a fundamental overhaul, it is understood.
The powerful Commons Public Accounts Committee has published a damning report into the programme's failures, heavily blaming management by the Department of Health alongside delayed or expensive work from contractors BT and CSC.
The work by CSC was so disappointing, it said, that ministers needed to reconsider whether the US outsourcer was "fit" to bid for any future government work.
Nevertheless, the Department of Health has controversially argued that it would face a difficult and costly legal fight with contractors if it cancelled the programme, and that these costs would exceed the money the suppliers would have been paid to do the work.
The failed programme is now being assessed by the Cabinet Office Major Projects Authority, which will shortly deliver a verdict. That conclusion, combined with the PAC report, will inform prime minister David Cameron's decision as to whether to scrap NPfIT.
At ComputerworldUK.com, we bring you the latest news on NHS IT:
3 August 2011 - NHS must consider scrapping National Programme for IT – MPs
The Department of Health must "urgently review" whether or not to scrap the remainder of the NHS National Programme for IT (NPfIT), according to the dire verdict of a report by the Public Accounts Committee.
CSC may not be fit for government work, ministers warned
The PAC has delivered a stinging rebuke to CSC, advising the government to give "serious consideration" to whether the IT supplier is "fit" to tender for other public sector work. In nine years under a £3.1 billion contract, CSC has delivered systems to only three acute hospitals, and has missed numerous deadlines. It was nevertheless awarded a £200 million payment in May.
BT slammed over NHS NPfIT 'value for money' claim
BT has been heavily criticised for signing a contract that cut only a fraction of NHS National Programme for IT (NPfIT) costs in London in return for half as many large system deployments. In March 2010, BT's £1.02 billion contract for patient record systems in London was cut by seven percent to £948 million, under the programme.
The Tony Collins blog: What difference will today's report on NPfIT make?
Today's report by the Public Accounts Committee on the NPfIT detailed care records systems is likely to add negotiating strength to interim Health CIO Katie Davis and the Cabinet Office in their talks over the future of CSC's £3bn worth of NPfIT local service provider contracts.
18 July - NHS £200m payment to CSC angers Public Accounts Committee
22 June - NHS chief information officer Christine Connelly in dramatic resignation
31 May - NHS urged to 'turn off life support' for £3bn CSC contract
26 May - BMA: Electronic record plans threaten privacy and doctor-patient relationship
25 May - Latest NHS-CSC contract proposal doubles cost of deployments
BT charging small NHS hospitals '£8m for disaster recovery'
24 May - NHS: Cancelling CSC's £3.1bn health IT contract could cost more than continuation
23 May - BMA says clinicians and patients must direct NHS IT

Natural Disasters Not Over Yet
Over the last few months, various regions in Indonesia have been hit by natural disasters such as floods, landslides, and strong wind, causing huge material losses and claiming tens of lives.
Floods and landslides were mainly triggered by relatively high precipitation during the ongoing rainy season.
Since the beginning of the rainy season in November 2012, floods and landslides have been reported in many provinces such as Jakarta, Jambi, Papua, West Java, South Sumatra, West Sumatra, Lampung, Banten, East Java, Central Java, Gorontalo, Aceh, North Sulawesi, and East Nusa Tenggara.
In Jakarta alone, at least 20 people were reportedly killed in major floods that paralyzed the capital city and surrounding areas, forcing the Jakarta Governor to proclaim a ten-day state of emergency from January 17 to 27, 2013.
Also last January, in many Indonesian regions, ships and boats could not sail and fishermen were warned to be cautious due to strong winds and huge waves as the impacts of Cyclone Narelle that had hit Australia and Typhoon Bopha in the Philippines – both are Indonesia's immediate neighbors.
A number of buildings were damaged and several people were killed by whirlwinds particularly in South Sulawesi.
The latest disaster was reported in Bali, where floods and landslides claimed two lives and displaced around hundreds people.
In a plenary cabinet meeting, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono reminded the Indonesian people that floods and landslides occurring in several Indonesian regions lately have indicated that natural disasters are not over yet in this country and therefore the people must always be on full alert.
"I remind you that Indonesia is not yet safe from natural disasters," he said.Filed under: Editorial, Headlines

→Black Navy Officers (1944)
According to Wikipedia, Memorial Day is a United States Federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May (in 2008 on May 26). Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who perished while in military service to their country. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War, it was expanded after World War I to include casualties of any war or military action
Traditional observance
Many people observe this holiday by visiting cemeteries and memorials. A national moment of remembrance takes place at 3 p.m. US Eastern time. Another tradition is to fly the U.S. flag at half-staff from dawn until noon local time. Volunteers usually place an American flag upon each grave site located in a National Cemetery.
In addition to remembrance, Memorial Day is also used as a time for picnics, barbecues, family gatherings, and sporting events.
Shared with Flock – The Social Web Browser
One of the longest standing traditions is the running of the Indianapolis 500, which has been held in conjunction with Memorial Day since 1911. Some Americans also view Memorial Day as the unofficial beginning of summer and Labor Day as the unofficial end of the season. The national "Click It or Ticket" campaign ramps up beginning Memorial Day weekend, noting the beginning of the most dangerous season for auto accidents and other safety related incidents. The U.S. Air Force's "101 Critical Days of Summer" begin on this day as well. Many Americans use Memorial Day to also honor any family members who have died, not just servicemen.
Memorial Day formerly occurred on May 30, and some, such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW), advocate returning to this fixed date, although the significance of the date is tenuous. The VFW stated in a 2002 Memorial Day Address, "Changing the date merely to create three-day weekends has undermined the very meaning of the day. No doubt, this has contributed a lot to the general public's nonchalant observance of Memorial Day."[1] Hawaii's Senator Daniel Inouye, a World War II veteran, has repeatedly introduced measures to return Memorial Day to its traditional day since 1987.
On May 26, 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson, signed a Presidential Proclamation recognizing Waterloo, New York as the Birthplace of Memorial Day. http://www1.va.gov/opa/speceven/memday/history.asp#hist http://www.waterloony.com/MemDay.html
Following the end of the Civil War, many communities set aside a day to mark the end of the war or as a memorial to those who had died. Some of the places creating an early memorial day include Charleston, South Carolina; Boalsburg, Pennsylvania; Richmond, Virginia; Carbondale, Illinois; Columbus, Mississippi; many communities in Vermont; and some two dozen other cities and towns. These observances eventually coalesced around Decoration Day, honoring the Union dead, and the several Confederate Memorial Days.

Freed Slaves Celebrated The First Memorial Day
The first memorial day was observed in 1865 by liberated slaves at the historic race track in Charleston. The site was a former Confederate prison camp as well as a mass grave for Union soldiers who had died while captive. The freed slaves reinterred the dead Union soldiers from the mass grave to individual graves, fenced in the graveyard & built an entry arch declaring it a Union graveyard; a very daring thing to do in the South shortly after North's victory. On May 30 1868 the freed slaves returned to the graveyard with flowers they'd picked from the countryside & decorated the individual gravesites, thereby creating the 1st Decoration Day. A parade with thousands of freed blacks and Union soldiers was followed by patriotic singing and a picnic marking the end of the war or as a memorial to those who had died. Some of the places creating an early memorial day include Charleston, South Carolina; Boalsburg, Pennsylvania; Richmond, Virginia; Carbondale, Illinois; Columbus, Mississippi; many communities in Vermont; and some two dozen other cities and towns. These observances eventually coalesced around Decoration Day, honoring the Union dead, and the several Confederate Memorial Days. Many of the states of the U.S. South refused to celebrate Decoration Day, due to lingering hostility towards the Union Army and also because there were very few veterans of the Union Army who lived in the South. A notable exception was Columbus, Mississippi, which on April 25, 1866 at its Decoration Day commemorated both the Union and Confederate casualties buried in its cemetery.[1].
The alternative name of "Memorial Day" was first used in 1882, but did not become more common until after World War II, and was not declared the official name by Federal law until 1967 . On June 28, 1968, the United States Congress passed the Uniform Holidays Bill, which moved three holidays from their traditional dates to a specified Monday in order to create a convenient three-day weekend and for the first time recognized Columbus Day as a federal holiday. The holidays included Washington's Birthday (which evolved into Presidents' Day), Veterans Day, and Memorial Day. The change moved Memorial Day from its traditional May 30 date to the last Monday in May. The law took effect at the federal level in 1971 . After some initial confusion and unwillingness to comply at the state level, all fifty states adopted the measure within a few years, although Veterans Day was eventually changed back to its traditional date. Ironically, most corporate businesses no longer close on Columbus Day or Veterans Day, and an increasing number are staying open on President's Day as well. Memorial Day, however, has endured as one holiday during which most businesses stay closed because it marks the beginning of the "summer vacation season," as does neighboring Canada's Victoria Day, which occurs just before, on the third Monday in May.
As we celebrate this Memorial Day, Let all of American stand and proudly proclaim that we have each played a part in making America the great country that it is. From the beginning each color, race, creed, religion, culture, state, class, and faith have come together to make up this great melting pot we all call home. As we look back on the Memorial Day we just celebrated let us all be proud and pause in a moment of silence…

San Francisco (part 3 -- how to get your kids to want to go to Stanford and more GGB)
1) Talk about it a lot. Like, all the time. Never let it worry you if they start rolling their eyes. They'll come around. I'm just sure of it.
2) Tell them how awesome their cousin is who graduated from there.
3) Work in a visit to see the campus during your trip to San Francisco.
4) When your son begs to buy a Stanford hat, hem and haw a little over it. Make him want it worse by questioning it. "Hmmm, it's kinda expensive...did you bring enough money?...etc."
5) Walk through campus. Make the kids sit through half of a really cool ceremony that happens to be going in in the cathedral.
6) Let them pose for as many pictures as they want on the campus. (Later enlarge them to life-size and hang them on their ceiling so they can drift off to dreamland thinking about that school every night).
7) Make sure you plan your trip when the leaves are the most beautiful to create a great backdrop.
8) Let them take as many pictures as they want becoming "one" with those things.
(Have I mentioned we like leaves?:)
(a little late on the "throw," Claire)
9) As you walk the campus, have your awesome sister fill their minds with all kinds of wonderful facts about how important college is. They'll really listen to her...no eye-rolling.
10) Have them take a picture of their awesome college-graduate mentors:
11) Let them ooooo and ahhh over the cool sculptures there...and take pictures posing with them if they ask.
12) Tell them how fun college life is. Relive a couple good college stories and have your sister do the same.
13) Sit in front of the library and talk about how awesome libraries are. (Yeah, that'll get 'em:)
14) Cross your fingers that maybe they'll get rid of that pesky test they base college admissions so darn heavily on.
15) Tell them they can have ice cream every night if they are getting straight "A's." (ha ha)
I'm all about brainwashing my kids to go to a good college, and hey, Stanford wouldn't be half bad.:)
Our last evening in San Francisco was filled with vistas of the Golden Gate Bridge. I'll let the pictures tell the story.
I love Max's face when he's teasing his sisters.
Just as the sun dipped below the horizon we scrambled up a deserted army barracks hill to watch the city settle itself into evening.The sunset on a grand adventure.
We got up before the crack of dawn the next morning to fly back to the desert.And came back to open arms from sweet Lu who we all missed so much.
In fact, one of my favorite memories of the trip was listening to the kids talk to Lucy on the phone while we were crammed in the car on our way somewhere. The delight in their voices to talk to that little sister of theirs was tangible....And of course we were so excited to get back to Dave who made it all possible. How grateful I am to him for sticking around with Lu and letting us go.
Oh but how we miss our dear Charity! Thank goodness she has a blog so we can keep track of all her amazing adventures! Click here to enjoy it along with us.

Gorgeous pics! You make ME want to go to Stanford - at least for a little visit :) The pic of Charity in the crane pose is amazing. Love it all. Keep encouraging those kiddos to get to college.ReplyDelete

Beautiful pictures! My dad went to business school at Stanford and we used to always visit the campus so my parents could reminisce. My sister lives in San Francisco and you're making me want to drop everything and fly over there!ReplyDelete
I love your pics of Stanford Campus--the Memorial Chapel is stunning, isn't it. And the Rodin doors. Nice work.ReplyDelete
Ha Shawni! We do the same with BYU. We load them up on candy at the bookstore and assure them that this is where they will find all happiness :)ReplyDelete
I love love loved all of your photos! This is a kind of random question too, but I am curious as to what you and Dave believe about helping kids pay for college?ReplyDelete
Do you think it will be something you will provide total funding for or partial? How did your family work this growing up? The costs of college are so high and this is something always on my mind with kids. Thanks!
Wow! Your last couple posts make me homesick! As I told you, I grew up in Los Altos Hills, literally right next door to Stanford! Isn't it such a beautiful place? Oh I miss it! I am so glad you were able to enjoy your few days there. I am headed home next month, can't wait!ReplyDelete
The leaves are so much fun and make for beautiful pictures. I have done something similar with BYU. We want all our children to attend. Now we will have one attending BYU-I next fall. We feel like it was worth all the trips, talks and rooting for their teams. One down, 3 to go!ReplyDelete
Incredible pictures! I love them all! I don't WANT my girls to go to Stanford (although my brother had a great experience there). I want them to go to BYU. Stanford is a great grad school option, though. ;)ReplyDelete
This made me homesick for Stanford. Our son had a full ride football scholarship and we were fortunate enough to be able to attend all his games. Our son had the choice of many schools in Utah as well as Washingtion. He said it was one of the best decisions he made. He graduated with a degree in Public Policy and is now in the NFL.ReplyDelete
Loved the pictures Shawni! Made me miss the campus. Give me a call when they're juniors and we can chat strategy. I'm sure they're all a shoo-in!ReplyDelete
We love Stanford!! Chris did his Ph.D there, so we had the good fortune of living right there on campus for 5 years! I never tire of seeing pictures of there -- a campus we walked and biked hundreds of times!! Lovely pictures! Thanks!!ReplyDelete
I loved everything about this post. From the brainwashing, the photos, your happy air jumps. It's always a treat to visit.ReplyDelete
I always wanted to go to Stanford. . . somehow missed the scholarship application deadline by one day.ReplyDelete
Kinda hard to see what I missed!
I love the kids expressions at seeing Lucy.ReplyDelete
Oh and you probably should just make a habit of listing all your clothing at the bottom of the post in a "Where to Buy" cause I am sooooo loving those boots and would love to buy a pair for me if you tell me where.
What a fabulous post! Every comment and pic was a delight! I wanna go to Stanford! You gotta love that Dave!ReplyDelete
Heck, you make ME want to go to Sanford too! GORGEOUS pictures! I love the way your pictures are so bright. For some reason, I have the desire to start dressing my children in brighter clothing, or at least brighter accessories . . .ReplyDelete
Stanford is one of my favorite places to take pictures.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 19, 2012 at 10:36 AM
Well, you've succeeded in making me want to go to Stanford. I need to at least visit that beautiful place on my next trip to SF.ReplyDelete
We used this method for BYU!ReplyDelete
I'm not sure how I came across your blog this afternoon but I LOVE this post! We are already doing this with out children - we made them write it down on their NY resolution even under "future goals." (Secretly, I would be happy with most major colleges - but why not aim for Stanford?!)ReplyDelete
Is it possible to somehow buy a duplicate of the picture collage of Israel that you have in your home? It seems like it may have been a gift. I went there on a study abroad as well and would LOVE to have something like that. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Lori, my brother made that collage for me. His blog is on my sidebar ("Eli and Julie") You can contact him if you're interested in those Jerusalem pictures.ReplyDelete

Every wireless communications company in India is big. By big meaning they have already paid huge upfront costs for license and infrastructure even before they get started. Each wireless player have to pay hundreds of millions to get a UAS license and then pay for the area licenses, along with infrastructure and people costs. There is no small mobile services company in India; each and every one all of them are big investments.
There is constant squabble about the impending changes to regulations in the communications markets, and constant delays in implementation of changes and advances. The much delayed 3 G license auctions is an example of squandering a wonderful opportunity to help relieve the congestion in the mobile airwaves, and allowing for much needed high end mobiles services. 3 G services would help bring in more low ARP users who need basic services into the mobile population, while allowing the migration of high ARP users to move to the 3 G network, allowing new users in the 2 G network.
The constant discussion on the fund to support the development of rural telecommunications is simply a huge fund collected but unused to really fund the expansion of telecommunications in rural India. Hefty goals to include all parts of India into the network is easily possible if the money already collected and on hand is used to do this.
Awarding 3 G licenses to only the government owned networks is simply the slowest way to bring the services to the market, as these government owned networks while well funded and well endowed with spectrum, are the least efficient of all networks. There is nothing wrong with the networks, simply the way they are managed makes them lethargic compared to networks where the government has no ownership.
Termination calls to each other has also courted controversy. What mobile operators pay each other has been constant since early part of this decade, and has been subjected to modification this year. If it goes up it hurts the new operators, and if it goes down the incumbents have a grouse about losing revenue.
The private networks (even the smallest operating network) are loading tens of millions of users every month. Every market survey indicates that the user base will double fairly quickly. So, the lack of market opportunity is not a barrier to entry. It is really the availability of spectrum and transparency in handling the licensing process. The success of the market continues to attract global investment into India's mobile markets. The combination of Indian market opportunity and semi transparent policies continues to attract global investors to keep evaluating the interest into India.
Regulators must choose implementation of guidelines to improve the quality and affordability of the services to the entire market. While making sure that neither the size of the company or investment it makes should allow for onerous disadvantages to any other company that wishes to compete in the same space, the regulators must continuously monitor and implement policies that are constantly in favor of fair competition and people oriented. India despite its massive telecommunications market is still behind in monitoring and implementing its own set of guidelines.
Simplification of the current guidelines, tax structure and tariff plans may not be as easy as a discussion or a panel. The delays with new services, the disparity in the size of enterprises, the political and economic clout enjoyed, the disassociation of laws from one service to the other, the unimagined growth, the market clout of the enterprises, and a whole set of cultural and traditional influences that are unique to India; are all the factors that drive the implementation of policy. Having said that, it is not impossible to simply use fair and unbiased market standards for communications markets, and it is not impossible to take the great Indian telecommunications market to adopt policies that are fair and unbiased to all competitors.
The big players are already in great strength with users, valuation and balance sheets. The regulators should start distancing themselves from the influence of individual companies or technologies, and start showing independence in formulation of future guidelines that fit the future needs of the market. Law, taxation and regulations must continue to seek answers for the future needs, and stop relying on the past. Barriers to entry should be competitive and global rather then protectionist.

The Southern Bell Frog is also known as the Growling Grass Frog due to its long growling call followed by short grunts. One of the largest frogs in Australia it is easily recognisable by the torquoise thighs, brownish/gold blotches on the back and pale green stripe down the back.You might consider Growling Grass Frogs lazy as they simply sit and wait for prey to pass by, but this ambush method is perfect as there is lots of food usually available and it saves lots of energy. Often seen basking in the sun during the day these guys tend to be diurnal, more active by day.
You can download your own Growling Grass Frog sound here... Cool! MP-3 Audio | M4R Ringtone
As things change Growling Grass Frogs are finding it difficult to cope More than half of the population have disappeared and the number is still dropping.
Habitat loss, which is removing vital vegetation cover and affecting water quality is the main threat, but recently disease and chemical pollution have also been threatening these guys.
