Now that school is back in session, many parents are eager to get their kids signed up for various sports activities. Whether your children are participating in football, hockey, soccer or another fall sport, you want to ensure that the sweet taste of victory is not overshadowed by some type of dental emergency. It is important to protect your child's teeth as much as possible, and in today's post, the team at Alligator Dental will review common types of mouthguards and what to have on hand in case of a dental emergency. Read on to learn more and be sure to contact our pediatric dentist in Seguin for more information on finding a mouthguard that is right for your child.
Mouthguards and Dental Emergencies
Types of Mouthguards
The quality of mouthguard you choose is essential to safeguarding your child's smile, and not all mouthguards are created equally. There are three main categories of mouthguards to choose from:
- Basic. These ready-to-wear protectors are sometimes provided by school sports programs or sold in stores. They usually do not provide a great fit and your child may have a hard time talking when wearing one.
- Semi-custom. Often referred to as a "boil-and-bite" mouthguard, this protector is sold in stores and made from a material that becomes malleable when placed in boiling water. Simply heat and have your child bite down for instant protection.
- Custom. This type of mouthguard is made by a dentist and it is designed to perfectly conform to your child's mouth. The result is a durable, long-lasting mouthguard that offers superior protection.
Because a custom mouthguard is more expensive than a basic or semi-custom protector, caring for it properly will help maintain its integrity and ensure that it lasts as long as possible. Take care to keep your child's mouthguard out of direct sunlight, keep it clean and dry between games, and be sure to clean it by brushing it with toothpaste after each use.
What to Have on Hand for a Dental Emergency
As we reviewed in a previous post, it is always a good idea to have a dental emergency kit on hand so that you are prepared in the event your child cracks or knocks out a tooth. Your kit should include:
- Gauze. Can be used to reduce swelling and control bleeding.
- Handkerchief or a soft rag. Great for putting together makeshift ice packs.
- A small container with a lid. This provides a safe place for a knocked-out tooth.
- Ibuprofen. Useful for reducing pain and inflammation. Do not use aspirin.
- Your dentist's phone number. This makes calling your dentist fast and easy.
Keeping a kit in the car and at home will ensure that you always have the items you need on hand in the event of a pediatric dental emergency.

Yutaka I tried setting it to 0 but it still seems to max out at the 32
bit signed integer
(ie 2GB -1). Makes sense really as type is still signed int so that
is all the memory that is allocated. I then tried changing the data
type to FileSize and now it drops the connection at 65535 bytes which
looks a buffer size.
Do you know why it is crashing with type FileSize

New Year, New Cities
-By Erin Dixon–
Right now, it seems like everyone is working on their new year resolutions, like eating healthier, volunteering or reading more. Some joke about resolutions never lasting long because no one is held accountable for accomplishing their personal goals. Individuals aren't the only ones sweating out their way to a better life. Local governments are also setting resolutions and making strategic plans for a fresh, new year. And since their constituents are holding them accountable, they'll be far more successful in hitting their mark. I've discovered some of the latest, greatest programs and initiatives kicking off in 2017. I'm excited to tell you about a few of them with early progress that stands out to me.
Longmont, Colorado – Strategic Planning
The City of Longmont conducted a community survey in 2016 to identify areas to focus on for improvement. From the results, the City drafted Envision Longmont, a long-term strategic plan based on resident opinion. Among the first steps listed in the plan is to elicit citizen participation in creating a new Land Use Code.
Canon City, Colorado – Data-based Budgeting
The southern Colorado, riverside community of Canon City adopted a $33.7 million budget for 2017 capital improvements based on results from The National Citizen SurveyTM (The NCSTM) in 2016. Residents said they want the City to put funds towards infrastructure, public safety and riverside Centennial Park updates. The City swiftly heeded the citizens' opinions when council approved the budget for these improvements at the start of the new year.
Tacoma, Washington – Validating Local Volunteers
The City of Tacoma has been recognizing exemplary volunteers for 32 years though the City of Destiny Awards, and this year they introduced the Disability Advocate Award. A partnership between the awards committee and the Tacoma Area Coalition for Individuals with Disabilities (TACID), this special accolade acknowledges those who have made a difference in employment opportunities, health, housing, civic, cultural or recreational programs more accessible for people with disabilities. These awards are certainly something to celebrate in the New Year!
Topeka, Kansas – Citizen Engagement
In 2017, the City of Topeka launched a new mobile app called SeeClickFix Topeka. "SeeClickFix is a true citizen engagement tool," said Interim City Manager Doug Gerber (via WIBW). This free app allows residents to easily report problems that need fixing to their City. Problems might include the location of a pothole or suspicious activity in the area. The app also notifies residents on the progress of their request while the City is addressing it in real time!
Novi, Michigan – Older Adults Ride Sharing
The Older Adults Services Transportation Program ride sharing program for disabled and elderly residents in the City of Novi is upgrading in 2017. The City now offers free rides to the civic center, library, activity center and special events. Reservations can be booked online or by text message, and passengers receive text updates about their trip.

Isn't all music suitable for Mass?
My pastor is trying to introduce more Gregorian chant into the Mass. I hate it. It's boring. I like music that makes me feel something. Chant is so dreary and depressing. One of the great things the Vatican Council did was that it did away with the old chant and encouraged people to use more expressive modern music like Ray Repp and the St. Louis Jesuits. Shouldn't Mass be joyful?
Harold E. Lujah
Dear Hal,( May I call you Hal?)
So, the Vatican Council did away with Gregorian chant? Here's a video you might find interesting, http://musicfortheliturgy.org/video/sacred_vs_secular.htm. What pray, tell, is new about the music you mentioned? The St. Louis Jesuits wrote their stuff from 1964 to 1974, almost fifty years ago. I remember it well. We would have relevant music, music that the young could relate to. It would fill the churches with youth and vitality. Didn't anyone notice that in 1964 the churches were full? Well that worked out real well.
Now, in Europe and America we have churches sparsely filled with grey heads that think fifty-year-old music is contemporary. Got any more good ideas? Have you never heard that one who is married to the spirit of the age soon finds himself a widower?
One can occasionally force an adolescent to go to church if the child is allowed to wear shorts and a T-shirt, but chances are he finds nothing interesting or special going on. It is just that old music that grandma thinks is so modern.
And then there's the stirring lyrics "Sons of God, hear his holy word. Gather round the table of the Lord. Eat His body, drink his blood and we'll sing a song of love, Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu Hallelu-u-u-u yah" and "Halelu, Hallelu, everybody sing Hallelu The Lord is risen, it is true everybody sing Hallelu." and "Come dance in the forest, come bump into trees..." Or something like that. What majestic poetry. Who could possibly prefer Gregorian chant to this stuff?
What is Gregorian chant, anyway? The name Gregorian derives from Pope Gregory the Great (590-604), to whom tradition ascribes the codification of Roman chant. It is first called Gregorian chant at a later date, perhaps by Pope Leo IV (847-855) (cantus St. Gregorii.) Pope Gregory did not invent the music called by his name, but he seems to have helped standardize it. It was added to and developed over the years, but it most certainly is a style of music that reaches further back into distant antiquity. Here are some excerpts from an article, "Crossing the Sacred Bridge", "The Second Temple was destroyed in 70 CE, and as a sign of mourning both for its destruction and for the Israelite exile, the rabbis issued a prohibition against making music with instruments. The voice, which always had been the main instrument of prayer, became the only one. The music itself was monophonic – with no harmony – as it is to this day in the Middle East.
"Although Gregorian chant has been influenced by other factors, it collects and preserves the Church's ancient modal prayer, and that tradition was learned and copied from Hebrew prayer modes and traditions." "...The early Christians were Jews..... They lived during the time when synagogues were being established and Jewish prayer services developed. When the Second Temple was destroyed there already were more than 300 synagogues in Jerusalem. Just as Jews had morning, afternoon, and evening services, the early Christians, too, were told to pray in the morning and afternoon, at approximately the same time..... Such Church fathers as St. John Chrysostom, 400 CE) knew that customs and liturgical practices had been transmitted from Jews to Christians.... While the roots of early Christian music surely must be sought in the entire ancient eastern world, it clearly originated in the liturgical singing of Levitical and lay cantors who had come to Rome from Jerusalem." I myself have an interesting recording called the "Sacred Bridge" by the Boston Camarata in which is recorded Psalm 114 using both a Christian psalm tone sung in Latin and a Jewish psalm tone from the Sephardic tradition, sung in Hebrew. The melodies are not similar, they are exactly the same! They presumably come from a common source.
Why am I telling you all this? It's almost as boring as Gregorian chant itself. Because: these are melodies and styles of music that Jesus and His disciples would have recognized. When you chant you are entering something much bigger than yourself. You are entering the very temple to offer sacrifice to God. Herein lies the problem. Modern people, don't believe anything is bigger than ourselves. We have big skies and great plains and purple mountains' majesty and super-sized everything. We are the top of the food chain. We drive Humvees. The liturgical movement of the 60's 70's and 80's largely caved in to that modern spirit, the primacy of ME. Some practitioners of our new and improved liturgy put the emphasis on the satisfied customer, not on something beautiful for God. It is a fine thing to stir the soul and uplift the mind and heart, but it is not the first thing. Worship is the first thing, and worship means "to bow down before." (in the New Testament "proskynein") Does the liturgy exalt God or does it exalt me and my personal tastes?
Admittedly, we are removed from the Catholic understanding of worship by at least one generation. But the tradition is far from dead. In its simplicity, chant should allow everyone present to join in worship. It should be remembered that "he who sings prays twice." How can people join in if you are going to insist on this weird music? I've had a lot of complaints that people can't join in because they aren't used to it and don't understand it, especially if there is Latin involved. It's foreign to them. It will take a lot of work to become Catholic again, and we will have to emphasize repetition and simplicity, not novelty. But, I still believe that it is wrong to simply give in to the sentimentalism of modern life and to forsake worship because it is hard to climb Calvary. We have to find our way back to Catholic worship.
What most of us do in church now is just not catholic, by which I mean universal. It is a kind of hybrid with American Protestantism. It emphasizes the local over the universal. It may enrich a particular community or particular people, by whom I mean "me," but it doesn't bind the Church together in space and time. It is fine to have elements of worship that resonate with a local community, but it is a beautiful thing that a Catholic can travel to a distant land and find fellowship with the Lord and His Bride in a song known to him in his native place. How wonderful that I can sing a song that was known to my ancestors and will be known to those who come after me. As the Psalm has it "Behold how good and how pleasant when brethren dwell as one. It is like oil running down the beard of Aaron." Remember that Aaron was the first Levitical priest and the unity of worship is compared in the Psalm to his priestly anointing. How sweet it must be to the Lord to hear a song rise up from the earth that has been sung since the ark traveled in the desert, a melody that was known to our Lord and our Blessed Mother, a song chanted by Peter and Paul as they faced their executions at the hands of Nero's henchmen, a song sung for generations, a song of love that unites believers throughout time and space.
Naaahh! Give me something I can hum, something more interesting. If I like it, surely God must like it. I want to get something out of it, not put something into it. I want to come into church and hear some snappy tune. Nothing that challenges. I want no mystery nor wonder. I gotta see what's going on. Has it occurred to you that there is nothing going on inside the church that isn't going on outside the church so why bother to go in? You can watch it at home on TV if you want. Modern liturgy leaves nothing to one's imagination or sense of wonder. It is, in most cases, as banal and boring as television. For forty years we have wandered in a liturgical desert trying to convince ourselves that it was a garden, and still, we think that "if it's just a little snappier," a touch more "pizzaz", that will bring them in. Keep doing what you've done for forty years and you'll get what you've gotten for forty years. Time to stop playing to the crowd. It hasn't worked. Oh, if you still want to be entertained at church, I know a church in the northwest suburbs that has a food court. They broadcast the service into the food court. You can have a latte while hearing really good music and swell preaching. If that's what you want, then go for it.

Dear Reverend Know-it-all,ReplyDelete
I just wanted to write a quick note to tell you how much I appreciate your posts. They are always witty and very informative. Please know that I keep you and your work in my prayers.
It's hard to be a young Catholic! I went to Marquette, and because of a couple amazing, traditional Jesuits, I didn't fall by the wayside with other Catholics my age. Now I work at the Apostleship of Prayer in Milwaukee, with another fantastic Jesuit (Fr. James Kubicki).
I've seen you mention Archbishop Weakland a couple times. It's not easy living in his wake. I think Archbishop Dolan and now Archbishop Listecki were presented with major clean-up work, so we have a lot of praying to do. I think many people my age are really reaching for tradition and have a hard time finding it.
Sorry for the long note... but again, please know you're appreciated and that you're in my prayers!

Dear Rev. know-it-allReplyDelete

can you please answer this quick because i need it by saturday.

Reader or viewers response to tragedy is usually defined as catharsis, as a purging of unfavourable feelings. yet, Juul issues out, this does not appear to be the case for game gamers. video games don't purge us of disagreeable feelings; they produce them within the first position.

Juul argues that failure in a video game is exclusive in that after you fail in a video game, you (not a personality) are in a roundabout way insufficient. but video games additionally inspire us to play extra, which will break out that inadequacy, and the sensation of escaping failure (often by way of bettering abilities) is a relevant delight in video games. video games, writes Juul, are the artwork of failure: the singular paintings shape that units us up for failure and permits us to event it and scan with it. The artwork of Failure is key studying for somebody attracted to games, even if as leisure, paintings, or education.

Gangnam Style Parody- (The farmers way)
South Korean rapper Psy's, Gangnam Style has become the most-watched YouTube video of all time with more than 885m views.
There have been so many parody songs of this single released on 15th July 2012 but the one that got my eye this morning is Farmer style (Gangnam style), A parody music video by The Peterson Farm Bros (Greg, Nathan, and Kendal Peterson) that promotes agriculture!
Here are the lyrics to the Parody
We are the Peterson Farm Bros, and we're farming and we grow it
We love agriculture, and we want the world to know it
Farming is a way of life with many different flavors
Being stewards of the gifts God gave us
Out here on the farm,
We're running green John Deere Tractors
Out here on the farm,
We work in many weather factors
Out here on the farm,
We're working hard to raise your food
Out here on the farm. On the family farm.
Agriculture, is so important to me, (and should be to you) HAY!
It feeds the world and will never ever cease to be, We need to eat!
We all need farmers to provide us with our food, food, food, food!
Workin' farmer style.
Farmer Style
Work, work, work, work, working farmer style
Haaaaaaay, for my cattle
Work, work, work, work, working farmer style
Haaaaaaay, from the field
Work, work, work, work
Farmers are working harder than you might imagine
But that is just because we have a job that is our passion
We will work sunup to sundown time and time again
As if working for the Lord and not for men
Out here on the farm
We get away from lights of cities
Out here on the farm
The countryside is nice and pretty
Out here on the farm.
We work together as a family.
Out here on the farm. On the family farm.
Agriculture, is so important to me, (and should be to you) HEY!
It feeds the world and will never ever cease to be, We need to eat!
We all need farmers to provide us with our food, food, food, food!
Workin' farmer style
Hay, hay, hay, hay
Is what we feed our cattle
So they grow big and strong
And then become the food that keeps us living nice and long.
Our crops like corn and wheat
Help make diets complete
Without the farmers working
We would all be starving
You know what I'm saying?
Workin' farmer style
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, thank the farmers!
Hey, for your food!

Good day! This post could not be written any better! Reading through this post
reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept chatting
about this. I will forward this post to him.

Since the WHS Act was enacted in NSW on 1stJanuary 2012, the media in particular have picked up on volunteers as being a "new" part of the WHS legislation. This is not strictly true, as whilst volunteers were not directly mentioned in the NSW OHS Act 2000, that legislation stated " An employer must, so far as is reasonably practicable, ensure that people (other than the employees of the employer) are not exposed to risks to their health or safety arising from the conduct of the employer's undertaking while they are at the employer's place of work."
What has changed is that volunteers have now been added to the definition of "Worker" in the new WHS Act.
A volunteer is a person who is not working for payment or financial reward, but may receive reimbursement for out of pocket expenses. A volunteer may work for either a "Person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU)" or a "Volunteer organization".
A volunteer organization that does not employee anyone and conducts at least one community purpose does not have duties under the WHS legislation.
A PCBU can be a corporation, incorporated or unincorporated association, a sole trader, self employed, or a partnership. A PCBU, whose activities may be either for profit or not, may engage 'workers', including volunteers, to carry out work in any capacity, and tasks can be either physical or mental.
Duties of PCBUs and Volunteers
Both the PCBU and the volunteer worker have duties under the WHS legislation.
PCBUs must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of workers engaged in work for the business or undertaking.
A person volunteering for a PCBU has the same duties as a 'Worker', as follows:
A Worker must, while at work:
- take reasonable care for their own health and safety
- take reasonable care for the health and safety of others
- comply with any reasonable instruction by the PCBU
- co-operate with any reasonable policies and procedures of the PCBU.
Duties of a Volunteer "Officer"
A Volunteer can be an "Officer" in a volunteer organization, for example, a director, board member or committee member.
If the volunteer organisation conducts a business or undertaking and employs workers, a volunteer "Officer" has duties under the WHS Act. Officers must exercise due diligence, which at its simplest, requires an officer to concentrate on managing the health and safety risks of the business or undertaking.
A volunteer "Officer" cannot be prosecuted for failing in their WHS duties as an Officer; however, they can be prosecuted as a 'Worker'.
For further information regarding Officers' WHS duties click here.
Some organisations that rely on volunteers have argued that the inclusion of volunteers in the new WHS Act places an extra burden on their undertaking. However these organizations, while always subject to the OHS/WHS Act(s) since engaging employees, would have already had (for example) safe systems of work in place, and would have also previously trained volunteers in their safe systems. Such organisations may now simply only need to formalise their processes to prove that volunteers have received information, training, instruction, personal protective equipment and other health and safety provisions.

This is the fourth post in my series The Final Kitchen Plans. In my first post (Part I), I talked about how our final plans evolved to using materials we had either never considered or previously just written off and said no to. I kicked off this series about our finalized plans for materials and space plans. I recapped our very exciting flooring decision from last week, and then went on to reveal that we are not going to go with subway tile, but instead will be installing 4.25 inch beadboard planks as wainscoting around the entire room. In Part II, it's was all about cabinets and countertops, how we ended up ditching IKEA and going with a more traditional plan, and deciding to defy the naysayers and go with white marble countertops. In Part III it was all about my discovery and acceptance of metals in warm tones such as aged brass and copper which I had never previously considered, and then getting the mixed metals in our hardware and appliances to play nice together. In Part IV, I will reveal details of our lighting plans, from under-counter options to traditional kitchen lights and finally the chandelier.
But first some background…. My mother informs me that among the earliest words I learned after "mama" and "dada" was "lights". At night as I rode strapped into my car seat in the back of our 1962 Ford Fairlane 500 (with a V8 engine), I would point and say "See lights!, See lights…!". Throughout my childhood, I loved to play with lightbulbs. Other boys played with trucks and cars, I played with light bulbs, sockets, and extension cords.
Once my father found a low wattage incandescent bulb in a box of clothing in the garage, plugged in, switched on and at the smoldering point. Another time, I filled the house with toxic plastic odor when I put a high wattage bulb in my Lite Brite, causing it to melt into a lump of plastic (I wanted it to be even more bright). Clearly this was just the beginning of what has become a lifetime obsession with lights and lighting and also probably fed my intense desire to live in NYC. This of course translates to an obsession with how to best light our kitchen.
Under-cabinet and Cabinet Lighting
More than twenty years ago while living in Seattle, I strung a string of white mini christmas lights along the underside of my cabinets above the sink and discovered the fact that the area under one's upper cabinets will always benefit from added light. I could not only see what I was doing while standing at the sink (in the shadow of the single ceiling light), but I loved the added glow to the space when I was not necessarily using the kitchen. In my next apartment (above), I strung those same white mini lights inside and underneath my original 1905 built-in hutch in my kitchen creating wonderful accent lighting (assisted by my blue neon "Huge" sign above). Over the course of the past 20 odd years I have continued to add lighting under my cabinets wherever I could, and of course, our new kitchen is no exception.It is a no-brainer that we will go with LED under and inside cabinet lighting. The trouble is, there are literally hundreds of options when it comes to choosing the best lighting system, but ultimately it comes down to quality for an affordable price. There are plenty of cheap LED lighting options on Amazon, and elsewhere, but this is a case of getting exactly what you pay for. One key thing to remember about LED lighting, they nearly always claim the "bulb" will last for five, ten, or more years and this is mostly true. But just because the "bulb" will last for tens of thousands of hours does not mean that the electronics which make it work will last more than six months, or a year. So inexpensive will not do as I don't want to be replacing the lighting for at least the next ten years. At the other end of the spectrum are companies like Juno, who sell very good quality cabinet lighting, but they charge a huge premium and I don't think it's necessary to spend so much. This is where my obsessive and relentless searching for the best option on the internet pays off… I discovered a quality system which is reasonably priced on Rockler. We will use the puck light on the insides of a couple of our upper glass door cabinets, and the LED bar fixtures, which come in various lengths, will do a beautiful job of lighting our countertops. Best of all, they will be on dimmers to control the level of light to create the perfect mood.
Take a look at images of vintage kitchens going back to the late 19th century in the homes of the middle class or better and one common element you will see next to the kitchen sink is a light either on the wall or above the sink. As kitchen technology developed in the 1800s, it became quite common to have a gas light installed over the sink area to keep that area well lit for evening chores. This trend transitioned to electric lights early in this century, and in some form or another, have prevailed to this day as an all but standard feature in kitchens. By the 1950's the light receded into a square glass recessed light over the sink to light the area. Now the trends for wall mounted sconce lighting is all the rage again. I thought about caving to the trends (I love the look), but decided to stick with the very traditional sconce over the sink look. I scored a vintage 1915 brass wall sconce with shade on eBay for about $25. I am not a fan of the shade, but this shade at Schoolhouse Electric will look amazing when center mounted over the sink.Chandeliers and kitchens are not often used in the same sentence as kitchens tend to be a fairly utilitarian space. However even though our kitchen is reasonably utilitarian, it can be said that a chandelier will dress up any room and in my opinion, there is never a valid reason to not have a chandelier. So the hunt began… I had originally purchased a vintage 70s chrome fixture for the living room, and when we scored our Tronchi Chandelier, I decided to use it in the kitchen instead. But it would be too big for the space, and I kept finding myself gravitating towards brass which, if you read the last post in this series, is a big shift from my thinking of the past. Yoav was hesitant about the idea of brass. His perception of brass was the ugly and garish polished "Donald Trump" style featured in nearly all of his buildings, I was thinking brushed and toned down. We found lots of nice fixtures on Etsy, and we saw things we liked at several different stores, none of them capturing us enough to "add to cart". I also though about buying the parts and making our own unique fixture, but I already have enough projects to keep me busy for a long time. Then I was awarded a gift card for West Elm at work, and when I went online to see how I could spend it, I began to peruse their chandeliers. It seems like nearly all of the fixtures we are drawn to are bare bulb. I have long loved the look of Edison bulbs, but they are HUGE energy wasters and the color is too warm for the space. As it turns out, we had already acquired clear LED globe bulbs for the chrome fixture, and they will look fabulous in this fixture. The best part… It was 20% off, and with the gift card, we ended up scoring it for less than half the regular price. Of course the perfect lamp needs the perfect medallion. Not every space can pull off a medallion (I often think they look silly in pretty much anything built after the 1920s), and there would never have been a medallion in the original kitchen, but this space was a bedroom, and a medallion would have been realistic to have in a bedroom in 1910, so I am going to just go with it. The coved plaster ceilings lend themselves to our having a medallion fit right in. Besides, it's my kitchen and I want a fancy medallion.
So this is the lighting plan… More brass to prove that mixed metals can and will work together. The chandelier and sconce are ready, and the cabinet lighting is on order. I am excited about the light over the sink, and I think the brass chandelier will be fabulous! Coming up in Part V – The room plan, and how all this is going to fit together.
This post is part of a series about our final plans for the kitchen remodel we are beginning in early 2016. You can view all of the posts in the Finally — The Kitchen Plans are Final series HERE.

After meeting with Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley at the Diplomatic Centre in St Anns on Wednesday, members of Muslim organisations walked away with a sense of relief as Rowley continued assurances that they were not being targeted by the government.
Among the leaders invited to attend the meeting, leader of the Jamaat al Muslimeen Imam Yasin Abu Bakr, said he was cautiously optimistic that the discussion would yield positive results and commended the PM for hosting the meeting.
Speaking with reporters outside the Centre shortly after 8.30 pm, Bakr said he was generally pleased with the assurances by the Prime Minister. Citing the detention of 17 men in a suspected plot to assassinate former PM Kamla Persad-Bissessar, Bakr said that he felt the government responded appropriately by hosting the meeting and apologising to the Muslim community.
"I must congratulate the Prime Minister because the last regime locked up 17 Muslims with absolutely no information at all, with charges they were planning to assassinate the former PM. The rudiments of common courtesy would dictate that she call some kind of meeting like this and aplogise, but nothing like that happened and there was not as much outpouring as there is now."

A pedestrian was killed today on railroad tracks in Ridley Park by an Amtrak train.
Although it is unclear why this person was on the track, often pedestrian railroad accidents happen because of timing issues with the the crossing signals and arms. People think they have time to cross the tracks because the crossing arms and lights have not been activated, when in fact the signals are actually malfunctioning and a fast moving train is approaching.
Unbeknownst to most people, it is quite difficult to hear a train approaching from behind in time to get out of its way.
Amtrak and its safety policies will again be brought to the forefront, as the investigation into this sad accident and why the train did not see the pedestrian or stop in time to avoid striking the person continues.

A brief biography...
I was brought up on the Isle of Wight, and painted from an early age. I then spent several years working in
London before settling in Cheltenham, where I currently live.
I have been happily painting away professionally for around 20 years. My work has been exhibited and sold in various galleries around the country and at shows both here and abroad from the very small to the very large.
My watercolour paintings are created with inspiration from the beautiful surrounding countryside, a dollop of imagination and a love of using colour. I also love music and there is always something playing when I'm painting.
The images shown on this site are all signed giclee prints taken from my originals which I have really enjoyed doing, I hope that you enjoy them too.

Rosemary Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Onions is a delicious vegetable side dish that can be enjoyed by everyone and follows the paleo diet.
Rosemary Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Onions Recipe
Here is a paleo recipe that makes a great Thanksgiving side dish. To me, there is nothing better than cooked veggies with just a few added herbs and spices. Vegetables have so much flavor on their own, especially sweet potatoes.
Tip: The cooking time will depend on the size and quantity of the sweet potatoes. Both the onions and sweet potato go from cooked to burnt very quickly, so keep an eye on them.
Check out other Thanksgiving recipes and decor ideas here.
This post contains my affiliate links for your shopping ease.
Ingredients You Need for
4 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
2 large Sweet or Yellow Onion, diced
3 tablespoons of Olive Oil
1 tablespoon of chopped fresh Rosemary
1 teaspoon of Smoked Paprika
Salt and freshly cracked Black Pepper to taste
How to Make Rosemary Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Onions
Preheat oven to 450F and line a half sheet pan [I recommend this one] with foil and lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, combine potatoes and onion in a bowl and add olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Add the chopped rosemary, smoked paprika, salt and pepper and give it a good toss again.
Spread the potato mixture on the prepared pan in a single layer.
Roast in the oven for 30 minutes, turning the potatoes and onions halfway through the baking time.
Remove from oven and sprinkle additional salt and pepper to taste.
I hope you enjoy this recipe. Let me know if you try it. Happy Thanksgiving!

I think I have had it with wordpress. I am noticing the same strange behavior I had on my previous blog www.luvsiesous.com .
And then wp attacked my blog and devastated it.
They got especially strange when I pointed out that this blog was not experiencing the same problems ….
Now what do I do about blogging and readership growth? Since I pointed out how aggressive their marketing was of their preferred blogs, wp has tightened up their marketing of all blogs and only focus upon the ones they like, now.
That has cost me around a thousand readers …..
Oh well. It is time for me to launch a new backup blog.
Isn't it?

One person was killed and two others were injured after the vehicle they were in was hit by a tractor-trailer Saturday night in Windham, according to New Hampshire State Police.
Ashley St. Onge, 19, of Methuen, Massachusetts, was killed in the crash on I-93 north, south of exit 3, around 6:45 p.m.
State police say they responded to the scene of the crash and found a 2004 Volvo S40 in the right travel lane with heavy rear-end damage, as well as a tractor-trailer about 100 feet down an embankment in a retention pond.
St. Onge was found on the embankment and was taken to Parkland Medical Center, where she later died.
Nicholas Hadley, 19, of Derry, New Hampshire, who was one of the passengers of the Volvo, was also found on the embankment. He was taken to Parkland Medical Center with life-threatening injuries and was subsequently taken to Portsmouth Regional Hospital.
Haley Wizboski, 18, another passenger of the Volvo, was found inside the vehicle. She was taken to Parkland Medical Center with minor injuries.
Police say their initial investigation shows St. Onge pulled over because she was frightened of icy road conditions and decided to switch positions with Hadley to allow him to drive.
The tractor-trailer then came through and was unable to stop because of road conditions, striking their vehicle from behind while St. Onge and Hadley were outside.
There were no reported injuries to the driver of the tractor-trailer.
The crash remains under investigation.

Here a GearBrain, we recently explained everything you need to know about Zigbee, the wireless networking standard used by many smart home devices. But Zigbee isn't the only tech in town, as it's now time to discuss Z-Wave, another wireless network built specifically for the smart home.
Read More:
- What is Zigbee and how does it control my smart home?
- How much does it cost to turn the average house into a smart home?
- What you need to know before building your smart home
What is Z-Wave?
Developed by Danish company Zensys in 2001, Z-Wave is a wireless networking protocol primarily designed for use in home automation. Z-Wave was bought by Sigma Designs in 2009, which then sold the technology to Silicon Labs for $240 million earlier in 2018.
Because the technology is owned by a single company, the Z-Wave standard has remained exactly that — a standard — and as such every Z-Wave device works with every other. This differs slightly from Zigbee, which is broken up into several different protocols and devices from one protocol do not always communicate with those from another.
Devices with the new Zigbee 3.0 standard can talk with all Zigbee products, which will hopefully mean this drawback is less of an issue in the future.
The Z-Wave Alliance
The Z-Wave Alliance has over 700 members producing 2,400 certified products — a figure which has grown from 1,700 in 2017 and just six in 2005. In all, there are 94 million Z-Wave devices in operation worldwide, comprising 70 percent of the same home market.
Z-Wave operates in the 800-900MHz frequency range. This is similar to Zigbee, but unlike that standard, Z-Wave does not operate on the 2.4GHz frequency, which is used by Wi-Fi and can cause interference. Being away from this frequency, Z-Wave avoids any chances of interference from nearby Wi-Fi devices.
Like Zigbee, Z-Wave uses far less power than other wireless technologies including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, meaning devices need their batteries changing infrequently — in some cases, only once every 10 years. However, Z-Wave is designed for carrying only small piece of data, such as instructions and information from devices like motion sensors. It doesn't have the huge bandwidth of Wi-Fi, but that simply isn't necessary when a Z-Wave switch is asking a smart light bulb to turn on, for example.
Mesh networking
Also like Zigbee (and unlike most conventional Wi-Fi networks), Z-Wave uses mesh networking so that every device on a network talks to every other device, meaning if one fails, or is out of range from the smart home hub, then the message still gets through to the intended device.
Instead of Wi-Fi, where data is sent directly from the router to your device (like a smartphone or computer), Z-Wave's mesh network sees data sent from the hub to one device, then to another, so no device finds itself out of range. Every Z-Wave product plugged into a wall outlet (so, excluding those with batteries) acts as a repeater, broadcasting every message sent across the network to every Z-Wave device in your home. Z-Wave travels up to around 300 feet in open air, but in reality the signal only needs to travel the short distance between one device and the next, where it gets repeated and sent on its way.
A single Z-Wave network can have up to 232 devices (or nodes) connected to it. This is far fewer than the 65,000 nodes which can make a single Zigbee network, but for most smart homes 232 should still be enough. These nodes include each smart light bulb in your home, along with each switch, dimmer, motion sensor, smart doorbell, door lock, thermostat, smart plug, flood monitor and alarm.
Which companies make Z-Wave products?
Companies which produce Z-Wave compatible devices include:
- Aeotec
- American Standard
- Fibaro
- Honeywell
- Kwikset
- Linear
- Logitech
- Ring
- Samsung SmartThings
- Schlage
- Wink

The field test will use an experimental broadcast license provided by the FCC at a terrestrial station located in Cleveland and owned by Tribune Broadcasting's WJW-TV. The general performance figures for the ATSC 3.0 transmissions are expected to assist U.S. broadcasters as they are going through the repacking process associated with the incentive auction.
An existing Comark transmitter has been selected and turned on for this trial. The transmitter includes an ATSC 3.0 high-end excited from TeamCast and radiates a 30kW ERP signal on channel 31.
The ATSC 3.0 field test is planned for the coming months.

Arlington, Va. – In comments to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Inspector General (OIG), the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) advocated for the voluntary ability of pharmacies to extend their popular reward and loyalty programs to beneficiaries in government programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. While urging progress on HHS-OIG's proposed rule to this effect, NACDS indicated modifications that would be necessary for its workability.
"The proposed rule, if properly finalized, will allow government program beneficiaries to enjoy access to programs voluntarily implemented by pharmacies which reduce healthcare costs, improve quality, and promote patient health," NACDS wrote.
Federal laws have blocked participation by government-program beneficiaries in such initiatives, even though these initiatives have been enjoyed by other patients for many years. Programs vary in their specific designs. They often include cost-savings or other rewards for filling prescriptions or engaging in other health-promotion programs, such as health screenings or strategies designed to enhance medication adherence – or taking medications as prescribed.
"Pharmacy programs affected by the proposed rule reduce healthcare costs, both for individual patients and for the healthcare system as a whole. At the same time, these pharmacy programs promote access to prescribed medications that are essential to maintaining patient health and wellness," NACDS commented.
"Failure to take medications as prescribed leads to major healthcare complications for patients and $290 billion in increased healthcare costs as a result of preventable physician visits and hospitalizations. Incentives to participate in medication adherence and other beneficial pharmacy programs have a demonstrated track record of increasing patient health while simultaneously decreasing overall healthcare costs."
NACDS noted that non-government payers and patients have found these programs to be effective, without contributing to overutilization of care.
While supportive of the intent of the proposed rule, NACDS detailed necessary revisions. In one example among a series of recommended revisions, NACDS urged elimination of a provision that pharmacies must not voluntarily offer to waive or reduce cost-sharing, or co-payments, as part of an advertisement or solicitation.
"There is no rational basis for prohibiting pharmacies from informing the public about programs that reduce healthcare costs and promote access to prescribed medical care. OIG should recognize pharmacies' First Amendment rights and eliminate this restriction," NACDS wrote.
The comment period for the proposed rule ends December 2, 2014.

Concerts, festivals to launch outdoor season
Despite the ice-swamp weather over the past few weeks, what's happening on area stages proves summer is happening after all.
The hugely popular Dave Matthews Band returns to Saratoga Performing Arts Center this weekend with a typically strong opener; Alive at Five fires up tonight with Dave Mason, and the Emerald City Band; the Rhythm on the Ridge festival brings local roots bands together in Rotterdam; and local bands team up for Art on Lark on Saturday.
Opening for DMB
Since the Dave Matthews Band graduated (almost instantly) from opening act to headliners after playing SPAC on the H.O.R.D.E. tour in the 1980s, hats off to them for consistently using their stature to introduce their ever-larger, open-eared audiences to extra-cool openers on tour.
This month and next they feature the Carolina Chocolate Drops, Delta Spirit, Brandi Carlile, the Head and the Heart, SOJA, Tower of Power, The Avett Brothers, Allen Stone, Fitz and the Tantrums, Gary Clark Jr. But only Tower of Power could conceivably match Lettuce, the mighty musicians opening here at SPAC for DMB on Friday and Saturday.
Lettuce, whose new album is called "Fly," is an all-star crew of Brooklyn funk blasters who get way down by making a big sound from expertly placed small pieces. Riffs don't last long with them: They erupt out of booming vamps, then duck around the corner, to emerge arm in arm with other riffs, and party. Saturday's show is sold-out at press time but if you have tickets for that one already or score a ticket (soon!) for Friday, get to SPAC on time (7 p.m.) to catch Lettuce. You'll break a sweat just listening to these guys, without moving a muscle.
Mason at Alive at Five
Alive at Five opens tonight with veteran British rocker Dave Mason. Reconstituted local heroes the Emerald City Band opens at 5 p.m. Restless, Zelig-like, Mason co-founded Traffic, left, returned and left again; recorded with Jimi Hendrix, George Harrison, the Rolling Stones and Michael Jackson; toured alongside Eric Clapton in Delaney and Bonnie & Friends and was supposed to join Clapton's Derek & the Dominoes but quit before they could record anything. He later briefly joined, then quit, Fleetwood Mac — and he did all this while releasing albums of his own.
In other words, he has an extra-deep songbook and, as he proved at The Egg several years ago and a previous Alive at Five show, he knows what to do with it.
A top local attraction through the 1970s and into the 1980s, Emerald City has reunited around its nucleus of keyboardist Gary Brooks and guitarist Joe Mele.
Alive at Five shows are free, staged in Albany's Riverfront Amphitheater in the Corning Preserve in dry weather and at the Quackenbush Square parking lot behind the Albany Visitors Center on Broadway when it's wet.
Roots & Rhythm
Rhythm on the Ridge on Saturday and Sunday at Maple Ski Ridge, (2725 Mariaville Road, Rotterdam) presents more than 20 performers spanning bluegrass, Celtic, country, folk and rock.
On Saturday, Flood Road starts at noon on the outdoor Ridge Stage; Three Quarter North, CB Smith & the Lucky Devils, the Ramblin Jug Stompers, Dan Johnson & His Expert Sidemen, the Stoddard Hollow String Band, Idette & the SunRunners, the Dyer Switch Band, and the Red Haired Strangers play hourlong sets, starting on the hour.
Meanwhile on the indoor Lodge Stage, Anthony Fallacaro starts the show at 11:30 a.m. with Mark Baptiste following at 12:15 p.m. and the other performers playing hourlong sets starting at quarter past the hour: 2Late, The Retrobilleze, Uncle Bootsy, Brendan's Boys, the Lost Radio Rounders, Lawson, Cavanaugh & Kavanaugh, and Big Creek.
On Sunday, a pancake breakfast feeds everyone at 8 a.m. in the Lodge, then Tom Keller hosts an open mic at 10 a.m. on the Lodge Stage. At noon, the Bald Mountain Rounders start the outdoor action on the Ridge Stage, with Neversink, Everest Rising, Running the River, and the Hilltown Ramblers playing hourlong sets starting on the hour.
Tickets are $15 each day or $25 for a full weekend ticket; children under 12 are admitted free with a paying adult. Visit summer.mapleskiridge.com or click here for the event's website.
Art on Lark
Art on Lark brings six local bands to Albany's Lark Street on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for free performances, in addition to food and crafts vendors and exhibits in many artistic media — including a new fiber arts section — and on environmental themes.
The performers are the Ashton Williams Band, Mike Grutka, Betsi Krisniski, Matthew Carefully, the College Farm, and Babe City. For more information, phone 434-3861 or visit www.larkstreet.org or www.exit977.org.
