Nebraska...Our Towns
Carroll -- Wayne County
When the railroads broke through the prairies of Wayne County in 1886, towns were established at intervals of 8 to 12 miles. The location of Carroll was determined by E. W. Winter, general manager of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railroad, who named the town for Charles Carroll, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence.
G. W. Yaryan, his wife, and three small children, having arrived at their homestead by covered wagon in 1885, agreed to provide lodging and board for the railroad workers. As the home was small, the men slept in the hay mow of the barn. Mrs.Yaryan managed the cooking for the crew of from 12 to 40 men, besides taking care of the children, raising a garden, and caring for a cow. A trip to Wayne was made once a week for groceries, and the butcher, James Rock, came every other day with fresh meat. (The first day they had steak, and the next day parboiled roast so it would not spoil.)
There were no trees or houses when a quarter section of land was platted and streets laid out -- only rolling hills, a ribbon of steel rails, and a depot.
In November 1886, Gus Wendt, the first section foreman, arrived from Emerson and built a house (a shack, actually) for his family, which moved to Carrol in the spring. That fall Frank and John Berry set up a general store in a tent. Come spring, they built a small store near the depot. T. M. Woods and Henry Wolfe joined the company known as Woods, Wolf, and Berry Brothers. The post office was in this store.
Tom Berry, brother of Frank and John, managed the Peavey Company elevator and lumberyard across from the store. Charles Andrews built a drug store, W. B. Wineland started a shoe shop, M. S. Merrill established a bank, and Henry Krebs was the first blacksmith. Charles Cox, Carroll's first newspaper editor, also operated a cafe in connection with the paper, and his family lived upstairs.
Dr. Northrop was the first doctor, coming in 1891. Dr.Love came in 1894, and Dr. Texley arrived in 1901.
The water system was installed in 1910. In 1918 the village purchased the light plant from a private owner, L. E. Morris. In 1950 the village began receiving power from the rural electrification district, making it necessary to change all existing motors from D.C. to A.C.
Old wooden sidewalks were replaced in 1901 and brick paving, the first in Wayne County, was installed on Main Street in 1921. Gravel was put on other streets in 1937.
Carroll started with a small schoolhouse, that was replaced in 1900 by a two-story frame building for grades 1-10. Grade eleven was added in 1909. A K-12 building, the present structure, was built in 1914. When enrollment declined the school was merged and become the Wayne-Carroll Schools, with K-4 classes held locally.
The stock pavilion, built in 1907, was the hub of Saturday activity in Carroll for many years, and is still used as our "trademark." The early pioneers were very proud of quality horses. W. H. Billiter, first president of the pavilion, owned and imported Percheron horses and Poland China Hogs. The drought, hard times, and bank failures during the thirties brought an end to stock sales.
Carroll's peak years were from 1916-1920. At that time there were over 30 businesses and shops, and a population of over 500.
In 1970 the town put in a modern sewer system and lagoon. This, along with other improvements, has encouraged many young families to locate in Carroll. Older homes have been extensively remodeled and many new homes have been built.
Today Carroll has 18 businesses which include a bank, a large poultry business, and an elevator, along with a library, school, and two churches.
Carroll celebrated its centennial in July of 1986 with a high school alumni banquet, and "the largest parade ever seen in Carroll." Many former residents and children of former residents returned to Carroll to make the celebration a big success. The park was filled to capacity to watch the town's pageant.
With 100 years behind it Carroll, with a current population of 250, proudly looks forward to its second century as one of Nebraska's small towns.
By Jerry Junck, P.O Box 128, Carroll, NE 68723
ADDITIONAL MATERIAL: Carroll -- Wheel of Progress , by Barvetta McLain, Etta Fischer, Ivy and Jerry Junck, 1985. Copies found in both the Carrol and Wayne libraries.

Anzac Day: 'They Were Only Playing Leapfrog'
3 comments:
I have been posting this poem on the Internet for twenty years so I presume it is well known. It was found among the possesions of my Uncle Willie, from Malcolmwood Farm at High Blantyre in Lanarkshire Scotland, after he was killed at Passchendaele in 1917 when serving with the Australian Imperial Forces having signed up when visiting his uncle's farm in Australia. We can never be certain that he wrote it but here it is....ReplyDelete
William Pettigrew: The ANZAC poem
Now, this is the creed of the ANZAC men,
The men with the hearts of gold,
What we won from the foe, by the steel and the gun,
By the steel and the gun we hold.
From the heights afar, and the sky above,
There may come the hail of death,
But we yield no yard of the ground we won,
Till the last man yields his breath.
We are few --- who should have been many here,
And our ranks are thinning fast,
But, by the Christ who died, for each boy who falls,
We will take toll to the last.
We are fighting now for the folks at home,
For the land from which we came,
And we are hanging on, and fighting hard,
And we are dying hard and game.
There are long quiet nights for gallant mates,
Who have fought, and fighting fell,
But for every one who has dropped his gun,
There's a fresh Hun face in Hell.
Aye, this is the creed of the ANZAC men,
The men with the hearts of gold,
What we won from the foe, by the steel and the gun,
By the steel and the gun we hold.
Pte. William Pettigrew [21.5.1887---21.9.1917]Replies
My Aunty June married Raymond Malcolm Pettigrew in NZ. I have traced the Pettigrew family back to the Malcolmwood farm - and find this touching to know it was written by one of their family. Thank you for adding this to the web for all to shareDelete
A friend, who recently passed away, introduced me to poems about the Anzac soldiers and I feel this should be included on the website honoring them. A very touching and thoughtful work. Maybe you can get this added to the other works on this site - http://www.anzacs.net/ReplyDelete

Austin Opera House: Way Down Texas Way
The South Austin Popular Culture Center is proud to announce an exhibit focusing on the Austin Opera House. This concert hall, a partnership between Tim O'Connor and his friend Willie Nelson, opened in July 1977 with a special performance featuring Waylon Jennings. This club was not your typical Austin-hippie-hangout; it was more known for its "outlaw" country slant.
The Austin Opera House was truly multi-dimensional. There was nothing like it in Austin. All this was right on site: A recording studio was grown there by Freddie Fletcher, Willie's nephew. During the early 80s bands like Asleep at the Wheel maintained their offices on site in one of the apartments that were out back of the concert hall. Films like Honeysuckle Rose and Songwriter were filmed there, along with a Ray Charles/Willie Nelson HBO special. Stevie Ray Vaughan recorded a live album there titled Live Alive. A wide variety of music was booked…like Todd Rundgren, Tom Waits, Third World, Suzanne Vega, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Roy Orbison and George Jones and local bands like Alvin Crow, Steam Heat and the Uranium Savages were used as opening acts whenever possible. Willie performed there regularly, often with Asleep at the Wheel as the opening act and always with loyal fans waiting in their lawn chairs outside for hours before the show. In 1984 Bud Shrake presented his play Pancho Villa's Wedding in the small ballroom.
Yet, for all that, the Opera House was underappreciated and doesn't get the press and accolades other venues of the time have received like Soap Creek Saloon, the Armadillo World Headquarters and the Split Rail. Most of the other concert halls around town were also open every day as a bar and/or restaurant. The Austin Opera House was open only for specific concerts and events and so didn't have that daily interaction with its demographic like the other venues.
This exhibit should help shed some light on what went on there and its effect on Austin's culture during the approximately 15 years the concert hall was open.
You'll get a sense of the Austin Opera House through curator Leea Mechling's selection of gig posters, photographs, paintings, newspaper articles and personal stories by staff members and folks who attended the shows.
You're invited to check out the exhibit that opens June 30th with a reception starting at 7:09pm. Ty Grimes and some of his musical friends will provide era-appropriate music starting at 8pm. There's a $5 suggested donation. Funds receive support the Center's programs (like this).
This exhibit will run from June 30 to August 26, 2012.
Please remember there is no parking at the Center, so pull on around to Collier Street (just adjacent to the Center) and park there. SAPCC is just a very short walk away.
For more information, please contact the Center: telephone: 512.440.8318 or by email: firstname.lastname@example.com You can also send us a message on Facebook.
Usual hours of operation are Thursday through Sunday 1 – 6pm and by appointment or chance.

Antonia and Luigi offer a professional, customized and high level preparation to anyone is strongly motivated to be a good yoga teacher.

"Excellent Training and Italian Hospitality"
Luigi and Antonia were both knowledgeable, friendly, welcoming and supportive. The course was intense and well planned. Lots of practical experience to build confidence. Their hospitality and kindness was above expectations. The food by chef Nadia was a delight. Included were a few visits to local areas. Forino is a typical traditional Italian village that offers peace away from the city. I enjoyed the course and look forward to taking my own classes. Thank you for your support and teachings!
Amanda Dunbar

"Wonderful Yoga Training in Italy!"
Antonia and Luigi are the most gracious and wonderful teachers and hosts! By limiting the group to a small amount of people, the focus was very one on one. Over the course of the week, the yoga teaching and training was very detailed and tailored to each student. The meditation training was something I needed more than I even knew! Allowing us to practice teaching together, helped to build our confidence day by day. Breaking up the days with morning and afternoon sessions allowed us to build stamina throughout the week. Mealtime was always a treat with delicious and healthy food prepared with local ingredients. I would highly recommend this training and look forward to begin teaching ASAP!
Marli Smit

"Great experience"
Luigi and Antonia are great people and made me feel very welcome. They make sure that they do not take too many people at once on the teacher training so that they can provide personal attention and that was great!

"Merveilleuse Expérience chez Styleoga "
Je Remercie Vivement Styleoga dont Antonia et Luigi et la chef de cuisine Nadia qui ont été remarquable. Je conserve de ma formation au côté d'Antonia professeur de yoga, une professionnelle formidable, surprenante, intelligente et surtout soucieuse pour que mon séjour se passe à merveille. Tous les jours, j'avais des plats variés, des plats fait maison, des croissants chauds le matin et tout ce qui me faisait plaisir en cuisine a été réalisé avec talent et gout. J'ai fait un merveilleux voyage gustatif et de fantastique rencontre ! Je Remercie également le talent de méditation de Luigi, ses conseils ont été précieux. Un homme tout comme Antonia qui ont tout fait pour que mon voyage soit inoubliable. Je rentre avec émotion et des souvenirs pleins le coeur. Je retournerais en séjour cette fois, car j'ai été véritablement gâté de richesse intérieure au côté de personne professionnelle et à coeur de rendre heureux ses hôtes. Ce qui est sûr, oui, j'y retournerais, car l'on a jamais fini d'apprendre au côté de pro du yoga...
Un GRAND MERCI pour TOUT ! Bien sincèrement.

"A much expected retreat that turns out to be average. "
Luigi and Antonia made efforts to make guests happy. The program is flexible. The chef Nadia is nice, discreet and makes delicious food.
Highlight is the day trip to Pompei that I requested and got accommodated. It was absolutely mind blowing.
Joann Bigelow

"My first retreat"
I am a beginner at yoga only doing it at home with a video so was a little worried how I would do but Antonia was very patient and showed me a easier way to do positions and motions to suit my abilities. I never felt inadequate as it was always positive help. Luigi was also great with the walks and describing the history of the area. He also did the meditation which was very relaxing. I have a whole new view of yoga and meditation in a very positive way. Also the cooking classes where fun and well run and all hands on.

"A wonderful personalized retreat for my fitness"
The level of attention from Luigi and Antonia was amazing. They listened to what I wanted to accomplished and where I was on my health & fitness journey and accommodated my every wish. They personalized the 4 days I spent with them. My meals, yoga sessions, hiking and meditation. When there was free time, I was able to rest/read. Luigi took me on a tour to see things I was interested in such as truffles, ricotta di buffala and other local items. I can't say enough about their kindness and generous hearts.

"Well suited to their clients"
Both Antonia and Luigi were very thoughtful and paid a lot of attention to the detail. Goody bag and tissues came in very handy for my day trip to Pompeii.
Yoga was very relaxing and focussed more on my stretching and holding poses for a longer period which I preferred. Yoga room was nice and warm as the weather was rather cold.
Meals were perfectly portioned, good quality and fresh.
Lesley Thompson
from Great Britain, September 2017
"A great mental, physical and spiritual workout"
Both Antonia and Luigi were extremely well qualified and competent but also encouraging and supportive. They pushed just enough to stretch but did not over face you. They were extremely good company with very interesting conversation on a wide range of ideas and subjects. The food was delicious!

"Yoga and Relaxation"
The 4 day course was a wonderfully relaxing and well organised break with a good balance of yoga, relaxation and activities. Antonia and Luigi are excellent hosts, guides and teachers and Nadia's cooking and lessons were great. A recommended long weekend away in Forino
Monique Elouise

"Accept, adjust, accommodate "
The retreat coordinators were very warm and friendly, with loads of knowledge and experience in the areas of yoga and meditation. They made an emphasis on breathing in different ways, and positive mindset training.
The food was simple, but nourishing and tasty. Some surprises with mest, packaged goods, with thing a like gelato and pizza that we wouldn't have expected on a yoga retreat!
Overall, it was a good balance and enjoyed the portion control.
Luigi and Antonia are very welcoming and open to talk about life, health, yoga, travel and nutrition and make great hosts with their warm demeanour.

"A disappointing experience"
A nice valley in the moutains even though the village itself isn't really interesting.
It was really great that the hosts picked us up from the airport and to the port as we wanted.
Balanced meals adapted to our diet (vegetarian).
The cooking class with Nadia was really nice.
We did a lot of hikes and it was a good occasion to visit the mountains.

"Amazing stay with wonderful host"
This yoga retreat was an amazing break to enjoy nature, yoga, meditation and food. The host made everything to make you feel confortable and activities are varied and well organized. Antonia and Luigi are stunning people. Don't change anything, it is perfect how it is. Coming back on the small island with a lot of wonderful memories and a unforgettable taste of real Mozzarella di Bufala.

Thank you for a lovely experience in Italy.

I came to the lovely couple Luigi and Antonia for the 3 Days Yoga and Detox and can really say I am back on track now. I had much stress and was not treating myself kindly and properly. But the Yoga, trekking or walking, healthy, and delicious food, meditation, much sleep, and their coaching helped me a lot to get back my energy and to recognize how important it is to support my body and mind in a healthy way! Thank you again! Namaste

Lisa Vanderpump on Reality TV and Real-World Success

Illinois Man Arrested For Threatening to Kidnap and Kill President Trump on Facebook
Joseph Lynn Pickett of Edwardsville, Illinois was arrested and charged on June 15 for threatening to assassinate President Trump in a series of Facebook posts.
Pickett, like every other radicalized liberal, is obsessed with Trump-Russia conspiracy theories and wants to kill Trump because he believes he's a traitor to the U.S. This lies directly on the liars in the mainstream media for peddling the false Trump-Russia narrative.
U.S. Secret Service Special Agent Vincent Pescitelli said Pickett threatened to "take the life of, to kidnap, and to inflict bodily harm" against Trump on Facebook, according to a criminal complaint filed with the charges. The complaint included screenshots of Pickett's Facebook posts.
"Before I die I want our president and congress to sign a treaty to never side with Russia or any enemy of the United States of America! If one will then that person deserves to be shot," his post read. "Guess what Trump? I'm waiting for the right time…and I KNOW your (sic) Putin's (expletive)! The secret service now has a heads up as to my plan to assassinate Trump…let's see if they act."
After the original post, Pickett continued to comment, saying he was "still waiting" for the Secret Service to knock on his door and arrest him.

Tractatus Lascivio-Philosophicus
If I'm brutally honest I am no big fan of academic research into the finer points of video gaming because, mostly, there aren't any. It's all fine and dandy to ascribe philosophical or sociological thinking to games but that ignores the one basic fact that what we make is product, toys, entertainment for a market, directed by business. It's funny to read theses and essays claiming a certain game designer is following, say, McLuhan's principles when in all fairness, unless he was a character in Final Fantasy 7, few game designers know who McLuhan is. Actually, no, be fair, most game developers are actually quite smart and well-educated, but that doesn't detract from the fact that most decisions are ultimately made by people with money, regardless of their insights or skills or lack thereof. One might as well contemplate the philosophical reasoning behind Disney World. But all that doesn't mean it's not fun to investigate these games with a philosophical eye, mostly because it is fairly inappropriate.
Tetris vs. Camus
In Camus' Myth of Sisyphus he proposes the absurd and futile struggle is what gives meaning to life. This we see mirrored in Tetris, a task of organizing without meaning or reward. The moment a line is complete it disappears leaving us to rebuild ad infinitum. The only things that remain are the incomplete and the mistakes. And Tetris of course has no end, no goal. The winner is the person who can postpone losing the longest. As Camus writes "what counts is not the best living but the most living."
Portal vs. Nietzsche
In Die fröhliche Wissenschaft Nietzsche writes his most famous quote "God is dead" and contrasts religion's promise of a good afterlife with the naturalistic and life-affirming idea that one's own existence should be the sole consideration when contemplating action and morals. It is scary how well Portal follows this concept, witness:
You start off in servitude while a disembodied voice commands you and promises rewards that are unlikely to ever materialize. Your actions are guided and decided, forcing you through dangers and avoidable harm. When your life is in peril the only option is to revolt, which leads you on a path of discovery and enlightenment. Your God is a man-made construct designed to keep you under control and subservient, and to truly be free you must destroy it. It's only when you've killed your God that you see the true daylight.
Quake vs. Hobbes
In Leviathan Hobbes examines the nature of man outside a society as being brutish and full of undirected aggression and ponders the question whether directed warfare is a necessary part of organized society. Quake mirrors this in the murderous rampages of a single person devoid of a society to call his own, letting his egocentric self-preservation rule his aggression. Had the nameless soldier not been alone but part of an organized society under a strict sovereignty the Quake series may have ended up as a Civilization clone.
Habbo Hotel vs. Nystrom
In the absence of forceful views to take over from the religion and philosophy many people have abandoned in the industrial age a "philosophy of futility" governs our aimless lives where we have narrow interests manifest in fashionable consumption. The main focus of games like Habbo Hotel is to revel in superficial adornments, a perfect example of futile fashionable life, especially in the absence of a more meaningful goal. Buy posters! Buy sofas! Buy wallpaper! Kill yourself!
Super Mario Bros. vs. Marx
The communistic overtones of the adventures of Mario, a working-class plumber, being exploited by the bourgeoisie, a bone-idle princess, who is under constant attack from the lumpenproletariat, need little explanation. The fact Nintendo visualized the metaphorical specter haunting Europe in the shape of a Boo is merely the icing on the decadent cake.
If this post proves anything, other than my tenuous grasp on the finer details of philosophy, it is that our products are so flimsy and open-ended that any academic interpretation can find ground, if one really tries. Academic research into the birthing of video games seems, at this point in time, more an exercise in sophistry than anything else, though the social effects of the product after its release is definitely worth examining. But don't get me wrong, I'd like to see more thoughtful video games out there, games that stretch beyond the "here's a gun, go kick some alien arse" themes. And to be fair, there are a few titles out there that are trying to be different, but those are, to date, few and far between.

Day 3: Elizabeth Bay & Urbina Bay, Isabela
Day 4: Tagus Cove (Isabela ) - Espinoza Point (Fernandina)
Day 5: Egas Port (Santiago) - Espumilla Beach/Caleta Bucanero (Santiago)
Day 6: Dragon Hill (Santa Cruz) then transfer to Baltra airport.
Day 1: Baltra airport - Santa Cruz Highlands
Arrive at Baltra Island. Once you arrive your guide will be waiting for you. Transfer to Santa Cruz Island. We will be crossing the Itabaca Chanel (15 minutes from airport), and after this we will take a private bus to Puerto Ayora. Once we arrive at Puerto Ayora, we will go direct to Galaxy Yacht and you can settle in your cabins.
After lunch, owe will first be visiting the highlands of Santa Cruz, where we will find giant tortoises in their natural habitat while trekking the spectacular island. For this visit we recommend to use sport shoes, long pants, raincoat, hut and sun block. We will then return back to Puerto Ayora later on. At the night, we will have a welcome cocktail and a formal presentation of our crew by the Capitan as well as briefing for next day.
Day 2: Tintoreras - Moreno Point
We will be arriving at Tintoreras, south of Puerto Villamil, through a panga. For most part of the trail, we will find a trail of volcanic lava called type AA. During our tour, there will be a small bay where you will be able to view sea lions, marine tortoises, iguanas and rays. After this we will be visiting Humedales which is made up of complex paths that include sites like: The Orchilla Hill where you can admire the view of the bay, Puerto Villamil, Volcano Sierra Negra, other islets and rock formations.
After lunch, we will disembarg in Moreno Point which is located near Elizabeth Bay on the west coast of Isabela Island. The plethora of birds seen during a dinghy ride along the striking rocky shores or a hike along path through lava rock leading to tide pools and mangroves create a birdwatcher's delight. In the tide pools, green sea turtles or white-tip sharks can be spotted.
Day 3: Elizabeth Bay - Urbina Bay
This is one of the island's breeding sites for penguins. Located on the west coast of Isabela, Elizabeth Point is a marine visitor site. During our visit to the red mangrove cove we will see a variety of animals seen only in the islands, such as brown pelicans, flightless cormorants, spotted eagle rays, golden rays and sea lions.
Urbina bay is is located at the base of Alcedo Volcano between Elizabeth Bay and Tagus Cove (wet landing). Trail length is around 3.20 Km; during this walking we can observe land iguanas, hawks, tortoises; it is also possible to see red and blue lobsters.
Day 4: Isabela and Fernandina Island
Tagus Cove is located at the western part of Darwin Volcano. During our walking we will find several inscriptions (names of boat's pirates) since 1800. The name 'Tagus Cove' originated from an English ship which crossed the island while looking for Galapagos tortoise to feed the crew. From this area we can admire the Darwin Lake which has salty water and is approximately nine metres deep. Although there are no fishes i this lake, we will be able to view different species of birds. Return to the Galaxy.
Fernandina island is the 3rd biggest island in the Galapagos, but only having one tourist attraction: Espinoza Point. This site is famous for viewing big colonies of marine iguanas and the only location where the flightless cormorant lives. From Espinoza Point we can admire Fernandina Island and its volcano which had its last eruption on May 2005. Fernandina is the only island that isn't inhabited by mammals. Also, its open areas are very fragile and therefore we need to be careful when walking. Return to Galaxy.
Day 5: Santiago Island
At the southern part of Egas Port lies a volcano called Pan de Azucar which contributes to the formation of black sand in this beach. The crater of this volcano has a salt lake which in warm times becomes dry and possible appreciate a salt mine.Between 1928 and 1930, there were some explorations that occurred around this mine, however nothing was ever found and the explorers only damaged its environment through using endemic woods. Unfortunately, no one is allowed to go down this mine. Return to Galaxy. A few of the main attractions on this site are the beach, landscape and Palo Santo wood. Its beach is considered to be very important as it is used as a nesting place for tortoise.
Day 6: Santa Cruz Island - Baltra Airport
The main visitor's site at Dragon Hill is located in the northwestern part of Santa Cruz Island which consists of a trail (1,600 metres long) that runs through three different environments. That same year, the Galapagos National Park and the Charles Darwin Foundation initiated a program to conserve land iguanas.The lagoons in this site are inhabited by a shrimp called Artemia salina which is the main diet of flamingos.
After, you will be transferred to Baltra Airport onward to your next destination.

Bad breath, medically called halitosis, can result from poor dental health habits and may be a sign of other health problems. Bad breath can also be made worse by the types of foods you eat and other unhealthy lifestyle habits.
How Does What You Eat Affect Breath?
Basically, all the food eaten begins to be broken down in your mouth. As foods are digested and absorbed into the bloodstream, they are eventually carried to your lungs and given off in your breath. If you eat foods with strong odors (such as garlic or onions), brushing and flossing, even mouthwash merely covers up the odor temporarily. The odor will not go away completely until the foods have passed through your body.
Why Do Poor Habits Cause Bad Breath?
If you dont brush and floss teeth daily, food particles can remain in your mouth, which promotes bacterial growth between teeth, around the gums, and on the tongue. This causes bad breath. In addition, odor-causing bacteria and food particles can cause bad breath if dentures are not properly cleaned.
Smoking or chewing tobacco-based products can also cause bad breath, stain teeth, reduce your ability to taste foods, and irritate the gums.
What Health Problems Are Associated With Bad Breath?
Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth may be warning signs of gum (periodontal) disease. Gum disease is caused by the buildup of plaque on teeth.
Removable Braces
Simple braces
Move only one or two teeth at a time
May be used to correct an early problem
Cannot manage complextreatment
Often fixed appliances are required later to make the teeth straight and fit together
Getting your braces fitted
Removable braces are usually worn only on your upper teeth. They are kept in by metal clips that fit over the teeth at the front and back. It does not hurt to get a removable brace fitted.
Visit 1:
An impression is taken of your upper teeth. This is a short appointment lasting only five minutes. The impression is sent to our technician, who will then make the brace for us. This takes about one week.
The brace is fitted over your upper teeth very easily. We will show you how to take it in and out and you will have the opportunity to practice.
A fixed dental bridge is a artificial tooth which is fused between two porcelain crowns to fill in an area left by a missing tooth. The bridge, therefore, consists of two crowns and a false tooth. Bridges are not removable, as a partial denture would be.
It is very important to replace missing teeth. When a tooth is missing, other teeth shift and without proper support they can work their way out of the socket. The shift in teeth allows harmful plaque to collect in stretched sockets and other hard-to-reach places, which can lead to cavities and gum disease. The consequences can be even worse – as your bite changes your jaw joint may be damaged.
A bridge allows you to avoid all these problems. To begin, the teeth on either side of the space will be prepared for the crowns before we make an impression to use in creating the model for the false tooth. We then create a temporary bridge for you to wear while your bridge is being made.
On your second appointment, we check the fit of your new bridge and ensure that your bite feels natural and comfortable and when everything is exactly right we bond the bridge in place.
With discerning attention to detail, we match the natural colour of your adjacent teeth to make sure your bridge looks as natural as possible. If you maintain good oral hygiene, it should last ten years or more.
Have you lost a permanent tooth? Do you feel shy to smile because of gaps between your teeth? Do you wear dentures and suffer from some of the following issues:
If so, then dental implants might be the best choice for you. Dental implants look natural and function as your own teeth. A dental implant looks like a screw or cylinder and serves as a replacement for the missing tooth's root.
A Dental implant is made of titanium and doesn't cause an adverse reaction when it is surgically attached to the gum tissue and the jawbone by a professional oral surgeon or implant dentist. The process of getting dental implants may take several months to complete and involves the following three phases:
Placing the dental implant.
Full Denture (full prosthetic)
An oral and maxillofacial surgeon or your dentist can remove(extract) a wisdom tooth. The procedure often can be done in the dentist's orsurgeon's office. You may have the surgery in the hospital, especially if you arehaving all your wisdom teeth pulled at one time or if you are at high risk forcomplications.
If you have any infections, surgery will usually be delayeduntil the infection has cleared up. Your doctor or dentist may have you takeantibiotics to help heal the infection.
Before removing a wisdom tooth, your dentist will give you alocal anaesthetic to numb the area where the tooth will be removed.
You may receive a temporary filling (usually white, off-white or gray) if:
A temporary filling may make your tooth feel better. This is because the filling seals the tooth, protecting the pulp from bacteria and reducing sensitivity.
Temporary fillings often contain eugenol, an ingredient in over-the-counter toothache remedies. Eugenol is also a component of oil of cloves, which people use for toothache pain.
Temporary fillings are not meant to last. Usually, they fall out, fracture or wear out within a month or two. If you get a temporary filling, make sure you visit your dentist to get a permanent one. If you dont, your tooth could become infected or you could have other problems.
1. Initial Visit and Examination At your first visit, Ladenta Doctor will examine your teeth, jaws, and facial relationships for any problems and give you a full explanation of the situation. While this first exam does not always result in immediate treatment, it allows the doctor to determine how and when a patients particular problem should be treated for maximum improvement.
2. Diagnostic Evaluation Next, orthodontic records such as x-rays, photos, and impressions are taken so that Ladenta Doctor can judge the extent of the problem and develop a treatment plan.
Root canal treatment is used to save teeth which would otherwise need to be removed.
It is needed when the blood or nerve supply of the tooth (known as the pulp) is infected through decay or injury.

From Troy McConaghy:
One of the problems with getting into Qwaq or Second Life is that you
have to get an account, download a special client/viewer program, then
learn the interface – not ideal if you just want to listen to a talk!
Well, on Monday, a new virtual world opened its doors to the public.
It's called "Tomorrow Space" and is made by a Seattle startup company
named Transmutable. The underlying code (Ogoglio) is open source.
The thing that interests me about Tomorrow Space is that it's all Web-
based. You visit the virtual world using your Web browser. If you
want to invite someone, you just send them the URL of the space you're
in, then they visit that URL with their Web browser and appear in the
space with a default avatar. (Aside: they may have to install the
Java3D plugin. If they're on a Mac, they already have it.)
Transmutable only charges the renter of the room (6 dollars per day,
and only on days when you want it). Their guests all come for free.
They have voice chat, but I think it's still "beta" and you have to
pay a bit extra. Text chat is free.
We might do a little test meeting there in
the next little while. If this interests you, you can register for a
free account at https://transmutable.com/signin.html – let us know
your account name.
Here are some questions I asked Trevor, the founder:
* Can I show my PowerPoint slides on a wall screen? If yes, how?
Yes, though you'll need to save the slides as images which most apps
(Powerpoint and Keynote included) can do. Basically, you can right
mouse click (control-click on Mac) on a screen and pick the slideshow
option. That will pop open a little widget which will let you choose
a directory of images and flip between them.
* Can we put a Web browser on a wall screen?
Not yet.
* Is there a Java3D plugin for people using Linux?
Yes: https://java3d.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html

Many recipes using ricotta cheese are for sweets or heavy baked pasta dishes, but ricotta also stars in some simple pasta sauces and other savory treats. Fresh ricotta only makes these better.
Ricotta and vegetables combine to make easy pasta sauces. mcf purées ricotta, roasted red pepper, garlic, and olive oil and tosses with pasta; top with grated Parmesan and chopped parsley. cheesecake17 tosses pasta with ricotta, roasted broccoli, lemon zest, chopped Kalamata olives, salt, and pepper, thinning it with a bit of pasta cooking water.
jen kalb likes a simple Marcella Hazan recipe: Sauté chopped bacon, add baby peas and cook until peas are done; toss with pasta, then mix in ricotta, lots of pepper, and grated Parmesan or Pecorino.
Green Omnivore makes a white pizza with a mixture of ricotta, Parmesan, and mozzarella cheeses spread on the crust; bake the pizza, and when it comes out of the oven, top with arugula dressed with olive oil and lemon juice.
gwendolynmarie suggests combining ricotta, vegetables, and herbs to fill tarts or strudels made with puff pastry or phyllo. maplesugar recommends this herbed ricotta tart.
For crostini or sandwiches, consider CHOW's Herbed Ricotta Spread
