Ahoy and happy November!
Mini trip! Husband and I just got back from short weekend getaway in Indianapolis and Bloomington, Indiana.
We went to Indy to meet up with our friend's Amanda and Derek and to see one of my most favorite bands (again)-Matt and Kim! Ahhhhh! They were awesome-just like last time. So much energy and enthusiasm!
Before heading to the concert, we stopped off for dinner a few blocks away from the Vogue Theater. We went to a local pizzaria called Bazbeaux and it was super delish-everything was so tasty and the staff were very nice and helpful. There were lots of other trendy trendy eateries in the area, too.
We concluded our evening by heading back to the Blue Heron Bed and Breakfast. It, too, was in Broad Ripple...only about a 5 minute drive from the Vogue Theater and Bazbeaux. Staying at the Blue Heron was one of my most favorite travel experiences. We woke up the following morning and the owners, Gail and John, made and ate breakfast with us and we spoke with them for nearly 2 hours about art, travel, remodeling bathrooms, and life in general. Breakfast ended with hugs, and then we were off to Bloomington to visit my best friend, Margaret. We stopped by Monon to get some coffe first, though. We tried the Choo Choo blend and it was one of the most delicious coffees both of us had ever tasted. If you are ever in the area, do go there for some java.
While in Bloomington, Margaret took us to the Oliver Winery. It is right by the water-so beautiful. There is outside seating and such if you want to stick around and hang out for a bit. We picked up 2 new kinds of wine and some hard apple cider, too.
I'm so thankful that we are able to take little trips like this here and there. It's so nice to be able to getaway and clear your head when life gets crazy-especially this time of year with all of the holidays coming up! Sometimes, it's really hard to remember to take time for yourself...but when you do, it sure is sweet.
Have a great week guys!

Boring but important
Senate abandons 'blue slips' for judges
The Republican chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee last week eliminated one of the last tools Democrats had for blocking President Trump's judicial nominees. Sen. Chuck Grassley scheduled hearings for two potential federal appeals court judges over the objections of their home-state senators, bypassing the Senate's long-standing "blue slip" tradition. Under the unofficial rule, which dates back a century, senators provide an actual blue slip stating whether or not they approve of a nominee from their state. If they don't approve, the nomination is effectively blocked. Four Democrats have not returned blue slips this year. During the last two years of Obama's presidency, Republicans used blue slips to block hearings for nine of his nominees. ■

It is no trade secret that one of the hurdles of being part of the legal marijuana or cannabis market is finding a way to legally and effectively market your brand while strictly following the label and packaging laws. Beyond the literal legal labeling hurdles (that Leafly does a great job at explaining the state-by-state regulations for), there is the whole next level of making sure your brand is attractive and eye-catching on the shelf. Here are a few quick rules of thumb to keep in mind when marketing your cannabis products.
1. DO keep in mind this list is just a suggestion, the regulations can vary greatly between states. Some rules that work in California won't apply in Massachusetts.
2. DON'T market to children. While this seems straightforward, certain states prohibit even using any type of cartoon-like characters because it can be too appealing to children. If you're questioning if your content might be inappropriate, talk to compliance and design professionals. Don't chance putting out a design associated with your brand that could be interpreted as appealing to children.
3. DO utilize social media, it is currently one of the most effective ways to market marijuana brands. It is also a good idea to read over what the various social media platforms allow related to cannabis marketing.
4. However, DON'T try to actually sell marijuana on social media, and don't try to use the Facebook marketing tools. Facebook and Google won't allow even legal marijuana companies paid marketing on their platforms.
5. DO make sure to include all the warnings and legal information according to each appropriate state on your packaging. This can be things such as THC labels, weight, THC/CBD content, allergy information (for edibles), and more.
6. DON'T think that all those regulations mean you can't also have meaningful and eye-catching packaging. We love the challenge of developing creative packaging that also includes all of the legal labeling requirements.
If you want help navigating the waters of attractive and legal cannabis marketing, reach out to us. We'd love to talk.

The Fifth Sunday in Lent; Year A (April 6, 2014)
Texts:Ezekiel 37:1-14 Psalm 130 Romans 8:6-11 St. John 11:1-45
Prayer of the Day: Almighty God, your Son came into the world to free us all from sin and death. Breathe upon us the power of your Spirit, that we may be raised to new life in Christ and serve you in righteousness all our days, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
11:1 Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair; her brother Lazarus was ill. 3 So the sisters sent a message to Jesus, "Lord, he whom you love is ill." 4 But when Jesus heard it, he said, "This illness does not lead to death; rather it is for God's glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it." 5 Accordingly, though Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus, 6 after having heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.
7 Then after this he said to the disciples, "Let us go to Judea again." 8 The disciples said to him, "Rabbi, the Jews were just now trying to stone you, and are you going there again?" 9 Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Those who walk during the day do not stumble, because they see the light of this world. 10 But those who walk at night stumble, because the light is not in them." 11 After saying this, he told them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to awaken him." 12 The disciples said to him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will be all right." 13 Jesus, however, had been speaking about his death, but they thought that he was referring merely to sleep. 14 Then Jesus told them plainly, "Lazarus is dead. 15 For your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him." 16 Thomas, who was called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with him."
17 When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days. 18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, some two miles away, 19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them about their brother. 20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary stayed at home. 21 Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that God will give you whatever you ask of him." 23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again." 24 Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day." 25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" 27 She said to him, "Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one coming into the world."
28 When she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary, and told her privately, "The Teacher is here and is calling for you." 29 And when she heard it, she got up quickly and went to him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him. 31 The Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary get up quickly and go out. They followed her because they thought that she was going to the tomb to weep there. 32 When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and said to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died." 33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved. 34 He said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to him, "Lord, come and see." 35 Jesus began to weep. 36 So the Jews said, "See how he loved him!" 37 But some of them said, "Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?"
38 Then Jesus, again greatly disturbed, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it. 39 Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, already there is a stench because he has been dead four days." 40 Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?" 41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus looked upward and said, "Father, I thank you for having heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me." 43 When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" 44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go."
45 Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him.
St. John 11:1-45, New Revised Standard Version Bible (C)1989, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.
To the Glory of God
This week's Gospel lesson is our third enormously long reading in a row. Last week we spent time with the Man Born Blind, who received the gift of seeing (in more way than one) from Jesus. The previous week we met the Samaritan Woman at the Well, whose time with Jesus touched her heart and soul — as should be the case whenever we spend time with him. Now this week we have Lazarus, brother of Mary and Martha, dear friend of Jesus. In total, during these three weeks we have read 123 verses of St. John's Gospel.
This Gospel lesson includes one of my favorite New Testament verses. When some of the disciples caution Jesus against going to see his friend in Bethany (just outside Jerusalem), because it is too dangerous, Thomas, who is often remembered as one who doubts, says, "Let us also go, that we may die with him." Thomas may have had his doubts, but but he is a man of faith and commitment, willing to risk it all for what he believes.
Both the disciples and Thomas are right, of course. It is indeed very dangerous for Jesus to be back in the vicinity of Jerusalem, and in fact, the events that are described in this week's Gospel will lead directly to the plot to kill him. (11:53) It is indeed the follower's responsibility to stand with the leader, even if it means assuming considerable risk.
At the heart of this story is Lazarus: one who enjoys a loving friendship and the experience of new life — both gifts from his friend Jesus. The entire community seems filled with grief at his death. The disciples seem more concerned about Jesus' safety than Lazarus' wellbeing. But for Jesus, this is an "occasion for God's glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it." In the glory of the resurrection, we see the presence of God in Jesus. A gift for Lazarus. A gift also for us. Amen!
David J. Risendal, Pastor
Exploring This Week's Gospel:
- What do we learn about St. Thomas from this text?
- Why was it so dangerous for Jesus to return to Jerusalem?
- What did the raising of Lazarus mean to those who opposed Jesus?
Connecting with This Week's Gospel:
- When have I needed to exhibit the courage of Thomas and stand up for my beliefs?
- How have I experienced new life through my relationship with Jesus?
- In what ways does my Christian faith give me hope?

Spaceship Landing - Self Titled
Review by Erik on Lords Of Metal:
Not again a German band discovering the seventies. So with a loaded heart I got this CD in the player, looked through the booklet and did some google-ing (is this a verb?). The instrumentaria are impressive, just take a look at http://www.die-tonmeisterei.de/.
But most impressive on this CD is the wideness and the hugeness of the sound! Vocals are of minor importance and are put in irregular, like an additional instrument really. Listen to '1x Im Princip', where the singeing is actually…laughing! But the keyboards/organ is the instrument to listen for! It fills up every hole there is with bleeps and spacecraft sounds, just awesomely done! They like heavy bands and intro's like in ''Black Taxi' and they sometimes steal a riff like the Cream riff in 'Pann Backer', but who cares?!?! The longer songs are merely a fraction away from being superb, and if you like Cream, Clapton, Deep Purple or Kyuss you will love this seventies inspired, psychedelic feeling slow rock. I am very enthusiastic about this band! Great CD!

See the daily excerpt from the preparatory catechesis for the 2015 World Meeting of Families, "Love is Our Mission: The Family Fully Alive."
104. The Catechism of the Catholic Church says: "All Christ's faithful are called to lead a chaste life in keeping with their particular states of life. At the moment of his Baptism, the Christian is pledged to lead his affective life in chastity."101 Celibacy is therefore allied to marriage, making a similar interior offering of our whole self to the Lord. Both celibate people and married people pledge their lives to God's covenant according to their respective vocations. There are practical differences in every particular individual's vocation, but the internal motion of soul, the heart's offering of itself, is similar at its core. Wise, mature celibates and spouses are familiar with many of the same spiritual skills.
In its introduction, the document says its aim is to present "Catholic teaching in a way that is fresh, insightful, and accessible to contemporary Catholics and all people of good will." The catechesis "offers a narrative beginning with our creation, soberly noting our fall and the challenges we face, but emphasizing God's plan for our salvation. Love is our mission, and it is by loving God and one another that we will be fully alive."
Each day in CatholicPhilly.com's World Meeting of Families section you can reflect on the official Catholic teaching on the family presented in the catechesis, pray a special prayer together as a family or individually, and stay on top of breaking news about the events coming Sept. 22-27, 2015.
Order the catechesis for your home via Our Sunday Visitor, and visit WorldMeeting2015.org for more information on the events.

You may have noticed "pay walls" greeting you when you visit the websites of newspapers and magazines, both large and small. These mechanisms allow you to read a few articles for free before you've got to pay an annual fee if you want to see more.
You won't find a pay wall on CatholicPhilly.com because we're more than a news organization. We're informing, inspiring and forming readers in the Catholic faith every day through the news, features and commentaries that we post on this site and share across social media.
It costs money to provide high-quality coverage of the local Catholic communities we primarily serve, while also distributing national and world news of interest to Catholics, plus the orthodox teachings of the Catholic faith.

UX Book Club Chicago/
I've been missing the Champaign-Urbana UX Book Club, so I decided to take over the Chicago chapter!
The Chicago UX Book Club was founded in 2009 by Gabby Hon. She decided to take a break from organizing and has passed on the reins. We will be organizing meetings through our Meet-Up page, but you can find more information on the UX Book Club Chicago website and by following us on Twitter.
Join us for monthly discussions and the opportunity to interact with students and professionals looking to share their passion and knowledge of UX, IA, UI, IxD, etc. Each month, we will choose a book or article to read and discuss. You don't have to read the book to attend -- just come with an open mind and an interest in the subject. We are also open to discussion suggestions and presentations by members related to their own UX research, writing, and professional expertise.

Staying Healthy
Once an expecting mother has enacted a treatment plan to mitigate the damages of addiction to her baby and herself, it's time to make her commitment stick. After the initial push to become clean and sober, she can expect to face a lifetime of temptations. The adage "take it one day at a time" offers apt advice as she continues to recover -- and as she encounters the many thrills and stresses of motherhood.
There are many things that a recovering addict can do to help prevent a relapse. For starters, she should encircle herself with support. Staying clean and sober, especially during the first few months, requires a daily (sometimes hourly) recommitment. There's no shame in leaning on the people who are there to help, whether they're friends, family, fellow members of a 12-step group or addiction treatment professionals, counselors and psychologists. It's equally important to steer clear of the people, events or activities that could trigger old habits [source: Borchard].
In the inevitable moments when she's alone with her thoughts, it may help to take several minutes of quiet time to visualize her life as a drug-free mother [source: Mater Mothers' Hospital]. Alternatively, she could take daily breaks from her thoughts and embrace an activity that moves her literally and physically toward good health, such as walking or swimming [source: Borchard].
To bolster her resolve, she can visit recovery Web sites with chat forums moderated by addiction professionals. If she finds herself itching to use drugs or alcohol, she should reach out to volunteer-staffed hotlines like the National Drug Help Hotline (800-662-44357) or the National Alcohol and Drug Dependence Hopeline (800-622-2255).
The stack of books on her bedside table can reflect her new focus, too. Books like "7 Tools to Beat Addiction," by Stanton Peele, and "Alcoholics Anonymous: The Big Book," by AA Services, are good places to start.
Organizations like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous offer tools, resources and meetings that can help as she transitions from intensive treatment to real life. In addition, many treatment facilities offer aftercare programs that help a recovering addict adjust to her new life. These programs can include supervised living arrangements, counseling and group meetings.
Aftercare should include mental health therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or dialectical behavioral therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy is based on the premise that when you change the way you think about your circumstances, you change the way you react to them [source: Kadden]. Dialectic behavioral therapy also relies on mental reframing, but focuses on simultaneously promoting good behavior and accepting lapses in it without losing hope [source: National Institutes on Drug Abuse].
As a recovering addict's new life as a mom takes hold, she should congratulate herself on how far she's come. Battling addiction is difficult, but no one is in it alone. By asking for help, an expecting mother will have the support necessary to ensure that both her and her baby can embrace the health and happiness they deserve.

Join me in welcoming the "Mad Foodie" to phillygrrl.com. He's a foodie. He's mad. That pretty much sums it up.
Let me lead this off with a brief aside: I'm a pretty angry person. About a lot of things. I don't like the vast majority of people I see, and the rest of them have to be pretty darn awesome to fall into my good graces (you're all reading this, so you're OK). But there's one person, above all others, that deserves not only my hatred, but, as far as I'm concerned, the hatred of all of humanity.
That man…
…is Bobby Flay.
I love cooking. I love food. I love to eat food that I cook. I love to eat food that other people cook. Hell, sometimes I even like to clean up the dishes afterwords. Because of this love of cooking, I idolize many so-called "celebrity chefs": Gordon Ramsay, Anthony Bourdain, and Emeril Lagasse, just to name a few. But I have found no other chef more deserving of a slow, painful death than Bobby Flay. Continue reading

Happy New Year, Trench Dwellers!
A new year, 2017, is here and brings with it the season of new beginnings. Winter in the Midwest can be depressing with the bitter cold, cloudy skies, and the sun setting way too early. But the new year offers hope. Hope of the possibilities of a better year. Hope for dreams to come to fruition. Hope for positive change from positive actions. We are starting a new series this week, and the common theme among these stories is hope. The women sharing these stories don't have it all together. They haven't figured out the secrets of life, but they have a shining hope that has helped them move through their trenches.
Our first week of the Do You? series begins with the topic of food addiction and struggling with weight. My friend, Melissa, and I share our life-long struggles with food, weight scales, and shame. We have spent many New Year's Eves stating our resolution to finally get healthy, to finally get off the food addiction roller coaster. We would make plans, start off strong, and then at some point get thwarted; those strong plans would not only go out the window but lead us right back to the very place of shame and depression that we vowed against. Melissa and I have taken different approaches to tackle this food addiction beast once and for all, and we will be sharing the paths we have chosen.
We are looking for women to submit their brave trench stories for the Do You? series. Watch the video Britni and I made introducing the series, designed around writing prompts:
- Do you feel the weight of loss and grief?
- Do you call yourself a survivor of abuse?
- Do you know the battle of addiction?
- Do you wake up every morning in physical pain?
- Do you struggle with anxiety and panic attacks?
If you relate to any of those questions, please know that you are not alone. Share your spark. Share your story. Get started by telling us about yourself and your trench: storiesfromthetrenches.org/stories

During Christmas Break, we took our girls to see the movie Sing. The story is about an almost washed-up theater owner who decides to host a singing competition to help bring in revenue to save this theater. I absolutely love the underlying themes of this movie: Believe in yourself. Dream big. You CAN do it. Take chances. These are themes I hope I can live out in 2017, that I want to remember in those moments when I feel stuck or fearful. I should probably stick this movie quote up on my (fictional) office wall for the coming year: "Don't let fear stop you from doing the thing you love."

Professions That Get an Automatic No
August 13, 2010 8 Comments
Welcome to Another Edition of Light Fridays
I am not the type of girl that asks, "So what do you do?" upon meeting a man for the first time. To me, it is a tacky, pretentious, and superficial conversation regardless of gender. Nonetheless, at some point it is bound to creep into conversation. Generally, I believe people are more than what they do. Very few people are fulfilled in their day-to-day jobs, so potential to be more is still abundant. Contrarily, there are a few occupations that when a man tells me he does, I am automatically turned off and have to restrain from making an outward grimace.
1) Police Officer: There are good cops and there are bad cops. While I enjoy the benefits of good cops doing their job, I would never be compatible with the type of man that wants to be a police officer. Even if I can past the power trips and ego complexes, I can NOT get past the way they walk. It is usually stiff and awkward, and it just screams I'm corny.
2) Code/Parking Enforcement: I live in D.C. with out-of-state tags on my car. Enough said. Seriously, if you have ever tried to park in D.C or NYC, I know you and your wallets have felt my pain. That said, I have a moral obligation not only to myself, but to everyone that has justly or unjustly received a parking ticket to never give you any play. Ever.
3) Preacher: I LOVE Jesus, make no mistake about it. I was raised southern Baptist, so the church is another member of our family. But I could never date a preacher because I don't want to be preached to every day.
Him: How was your day?
Me: It was okay.
Him: Just okay? You pray about it? You know are too blessed to be stressed!
Me: *side-eye*
Additionally, in my experience, it is really, really, really hard to fully process someone's preaching that you know personally and intimately. All you can think about it the inconsistencies between what is being preached and what is being done. And well, I rather not complicate my church experiences.
4) Politician: I have a personal twitter account were ignorance ensues on a regular basis. This is only a small portion of the recklessness that ensues in real life. So in essence, I would be the "Jeremiah Wright" of any campaign. It would only be a matter of time before you got tired of trying to defend me and will have to totally sever any ties. So in the interest of your political career, I will just save you the trouble from jump.

Posts for tag: Veneers
Veneers don't just give your favorite celebrities Hollywood smiles, but can actually address a variety of cosmetic issues. Dr. Frederic Mrugala of Westmont and Hickory Hills, IL, explain how veneers can transform your smile.
What do veneers do?
Veneers don't change the structure of your teeth but cover the flaws visible in the front surfaces of your teeth. Unlike crowns, veneers don't require an extensive preparation process. If you decide to hide an imperfection with a crown, your tooth must be filed on all sides to ensure that its small enough to accommodate your restoration. When you choose veneers, only a very small amount of enamel will be removed from the fronts of your teeth.
Will veneers help me?
We may recommend veneers when you visit our Westmont or Hickory Hills office if:
- You don't like the way one or more teeth look. Smile issues, even if they're small, can affect your self-esteem. Luckily, minor cosmetic problems can be improved by attaching veneers to your teeth. When you want to keep cracks, chips, bumps, or pits under wraps or make crooked or oddly shaped teeth look more uniform, veneers are an excellent option.
- Years of wear and tear have had an impact on your smile. If your teeth have shortened a little due to wear or nighttime grinding, adding a veneer will eliminate the height discrepancy between your teeth.
- You don't like the spaces between your teeth. Although you'll need braces if the gaps are large, small gaps can be easily concealed with veneers.
- Your smile is dull. Veneers can brighten all of your teeth or ensure that a discolored tooth blends in with the rest of your smile.
What happens during the veneer process?
After a small amount of tooth enamel is removed during your first veneer appointment, we'll make an impression of your tooth or teeth and send it to the dental laboratory that will create your veneers. When you return to our office two weeks later, we'll check the fit of your veneers and make adjustments as necessary. The final steps involve applying a special etching solution to your teeth to improve bonding and attaching the veneers with dental cement.
Transform your smile with veneers. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Mrugala by calling (630) 963-8680 for the Westmont, IL, office or (708) 598-8363 for the Hickory Hills, IL, office.
If you have smile problems, porcelain veneers may be the answer. Veneers are thin shells made of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front of the teeth. Dr. Frederic Mrugala offers a full range of dental services, including veneers. He has dental offices in Westmont and Hickory Hills, IL. Here are five types of dental issues that veneers can fix.
#1- Chipped Teeth
Falling or biting down on something hard can cause a tooth to break or chip. If your front tooth is chipped, a veneer can make it look whole and healthy again. These porcelain shells are bonded to the front of teeth changing their size, shape or length.
#2- Gapped Teeth
Self conscious about that gap between your teeth? Your Westmont or Hickory Hills dentist can fix that — for a price. It is possible to fix gaps cosmetically through the use of veneers. Veneers can close the gap between your teeth and give you the perfect smile you desire.
#3- Stained Teeth
Dental veneers can give you a whiter, brighter smile. Veneers are routinely used to fix that are stained — because of excessive fluoride; root canal treatment, stains from medications; or the presence of large resin fillings that have stained the teeth.
#4- Crooked Teeth
Crooked teeth makes people feel self-conscious about their appearance and affects their self-esteem. Veneers can be used to improve the appearance of crooked teeth. Remember, it's never too late to straighten your smile
#5 Worn Down Teeth
Over time, the enamel on your teeth may become worn down. Dental veneers are routinely used to fix teeth that are worn down. If you have worn down teeth, veneers can protect your teeth from further damage. Veneers are very strong and durable.
Are you ready for a brand new smile? Get the smile you've always dreamed of. Say yes to porcelain veneers! If you live in the Westmont, IL area, call us at 630-963-8680 to schedule an appointment. If you live in the Hickory Hills, IL area, call 708-598-8363 to schedule an appointment. Veneers will improve your smile and your life!
Your mouth may be healthy--free of gum disease, cavities, and other issues. However, you feel embarrassed to laugh and smile broadly in public. Why? it's those gaps, stains, and one or two small chips. They mar the overall appearance of your smile and lessen your self-confidence.
Cosmetic dentistry is that branch of dental care that remodels the appearance of teeth and gums. Composed of many dental treatments, cosmetic dentistry fixes small aesthetic problems or can remake an entire smile. Dr. Frederic Mrugala in Westmont and Hickory Hills, IL works to reach a patient's aesthetic goals for his or her smile. Among other treatments, he offers porcelain veneers, a reliable, natural-looking and beautiful way to improve the look of teeth in the "smile zone" at the front of the mouth.
Westmont and Hickory Hills Veneers
Porcelain veneers, also called dental laminates, are thin jackets of dental-grade ceramic bonded to the front side of one or more teeth. Custom-fabricated in a specialty dental lab according to a 3-D model of the patient's mouth, veneers disguise imperfections such as:
- heavy discolorations from smoking, foods, prescription medications or injury
- chips
- hairline cracks
- uneven or odd tooth shape
- spaces between teeth
- minor overcrowding
Veneers strengthen teeth and beautify with natural-looking shape, size and color that compliment the patient's overall appearance.
The Veneer Process
To successfully place porcelain veneers, Dr. Mrugala first determines if teeth are healthy enough for this cosmetic treatment. He performs a comprehensive oral exam and takes x-rays, photos and other imaging to help formulate a care plan. This plan includes how the patient wants his or her finished smile to look.
With the determination made to place laminates, Dr. Mrugala removes a very thin slice of enamel from the front surface of each teeth needing refurbishment. This is a quick procedure, sometimes requiring local anesthesia. Dr. Mrugala takes impressions of the patient's mouth and places temporary veneers. He sends instructions and patient images to a dental lab where a ceramist crafts the veneers using a 3-dimensional model of the individual's teeth and gums.
At the next dental appointment, Dr. Mrugala tries the veneers on the individual's teeth and etches the tooth enamel with a chemical that helps the bonding process. He applies special cement that can be color-adjusted as necessary to create a natural look that fits in with the rest of the teeth. He cures the cement with a special light and checks the porcelain veneers for fit and bite.
Caring for Veneers
Porcelain veneers last for years when patients brush and floss daily and get semi-annual cleanings and check-ups with Dr. Mrugala. The ceramic is stain resistant, but of course, patients should limit staining dietary choices and smoking and avoid biting fingernails, plastic packaging or other non-food items.

Call (630)963-8680 in Westmont or (708)598-8363 in Hickory Hills for a cosmetic dentistry consultation with Dr. Mrugala. Find out how your smile can change for the better with porcelain veneers.
When you look in the mirror, do you see the imperfections in your teeth before anything else? If this is the case, dental veneers restore both your teeth and your confidence. Veneers change the shape, length and color of your teeth, and provide you with the ideal smile. With help from your Westmont, IL dentist, you can find the right treatment plan to fix your teeth's imperfections for good.
What are veneers?
Veneers are very thin shells of porcelain or composite resin permanently affixed to the front of your teeth. If they are made from composite resin, only one appointment is necessary. If they are made from porcelain, your veneers are usually placed during a two-phase process. At your first appointment, your dentist takes a mold of your teeth. They then send the mold to a dental laboratory where a lab technician customizes each veneer. Molded directly onto the teeth, composite resin veneers eliminate the laboratory step. No matter the material, before veneers can be placed, your dentist must first prepare the teeth by removing a thin layer of enamel. This creates room for the width of the veneer. An etching solution slightly roughens the teeth to create a more textured surface for the adhesive to grasp onto. Once your dentist confirms the fit, they bond the veneer to the tooth using dental cement.
What can veneers repair?
Veneers cover imperfections in your teeth such as:
- chips
- cracks
- uneven teeth
- discolored teeth which do not respond to whitening treatments
- gapped or overlapping teeth
Veneers have the same light-reflecting qualities as real teeth, providing the most natural appearance possible. Each veneer is carefully color-matched to the surrounding teeth, adding to the natural appearance.
Am I a candidate for dental veneers?
Good candidates for veneers have healthy teeth and gums with no signs of gum disease. If decay is present, dental work to remove it is necessary before placing the veneers. A good bite is also needed for veneers, as your teeth should line up correctly so as not to damage or wear down the veneers over time. Patients who grind their teeth or clench their jaws habitually are not good candidates for veneers. Additionally, healthy tooth enamel is crucial to supporting the veneers once they are placed.
For more information on dental veneers, please contact Dr. Frederic Mrugala, D.D.S. in Westmont, IL. Call 708-598-8363 to schedule your consultation or veneers today!
Find out more about how dental veneers can boost your smile's appearance.
What are dental veneers?
These thin shells made from porcelain are designed to cover the entire surface of your tooth to hide minor dental flaws and imperfections.
What can dental veneers do for my smile?
Dental veneers are a great, non-invasive way to improve your smile's appearance. Here are some dental problems that porcelain veneers can easily hide:
- Stains and discolorations
- Chips and cracks
- Overlapping and crookedness
- Gaps between teeth
- Misshapen teeth
Dental veneers are ideal for those who have internal stains or stains that won't respond to professional teeth whitening. Veneers can also offer a straighter smile without having to opt for braces for years. Get a straight, more radiant set of teeth in only two procedures.
What does the dental veneer procedure entail?
The first part of the procedure requires a minimal amount of tooth preparation. During tooth preparation we will remove up to 1 millimeter of tooth enamel to make room for the extra volume that wearing dental veneers will offer. However, since only a small amount of tooth enamel is removed, this doesn't require anesthesia.
Once enough enamel has been removed, we will then choose a set of veneers that match the rest of your smile. We will have you approve the look of your veneers before we permanently adhere them. Then will apply special resin between the veneers and your teeth and use a laser to harden the resin.
Are dental veneers right for me?
Dental veneers are great for someone looking to brighten and straighten their smile with one simple cosmetic procedure. However, dental veneers aren't ideal for everyone. If you are an avid nail biter you may be prone to veneer damage. Therefore, to keep your veneers from breaking you will want to fix any bad habits like opening packages or bottle caps with your teeth.
Also, keep in mind though that since tooth enamel is removed, the treatment is considered irreversible. Dental veneers offer a healthier-looking smile for life!
If you want to find out how dental veneers could transform your smile, schedule a consultation with your Westmont, IL dentist, Dr. Frederic Mrugala.

This won't be too long but just wanted to send out a little update. All in all I'm feeling pretty good, however, I seem to be really effected by the CO2 they pumped into my abdomen during surgery. Long story short, apparently during a laproscopic surgery of this type, they pump the abdomen full of air to make the organs more visible and make more space for the robot to do it's thing. I was warned by the nurse after surgery that sometimes the air gets trapped in the diaphragm and causes some pain in the shoulders. When I wasn't experiencing any of this by mid afternoon yesterday I thought I was in the clear. I found out at 5am that I was not. I woke up with the feeling that someone had sledgehammered me between my shoulder blades. Seriously y'all, this hurts alot. I have been told numerous times about the advantages of laproscopic surgery and I have no reason to believe they are not true but this air thing... is no joke. I'm using some googled remedies to try and alleviate it now and it seems to be working somewhat.
Also, avoid getting surgeries on Friday late afternoon if you ever get the option. It's like the worst fucking idea you could ever have. If there is a problem with anything (prescriptions, pain, questions, etc.) you literally have to call 9-1-1 or wait until Monday.
Don't worry, I don't have anything this serious. But you do have to sort of think of those things in case they were to come up and it's kinda scary to be stranded out on the weekend.
Everyone has been really great though, my mom is going to come help me out tomorrow, since I still can't do some things like ya know... put my socks on.
I was pretty bummed today that I had to cancel plans to hang with my bro, sister in law, and the ninos but the pain was a little too much to handle. I've insisted they take me up on a rain check though, sooner rather than later.
On a more positive note, I've gotten some pretty cool get well soon gifts. So, that's dope!
Love you all! #fuckcancer

We head off to the beach with my extended family soon. I'm not a beach person – I don't like sand, or saltwater, really. But you can't beat the beauty and peace of the Gulf! I can't wait for that firsts scent of the ocean. I'm planning on updating you while we're there with any anecdotes or tidbits I think you'll find interesting.
I am so ready to visit with my family, some of whom I didn't even get to see at Christmas (we live spread out around the South and the West). The kids are pumped. But there is SO much to do before we leave that I'd rather just continue writing!
However, there are fish sticks in the oven and I skipped breakfast, so scratch that – what I'd REALLY like to do is just inhale them and take a long nap! Last night we had some friends over for homemade pizza and I ended up turning in about midnight, with my oldest next to me, after explaining how we might not be able to find a conch shell on vacation but we'd do our best. Several times. 'Splainin, that is.

In June we had the opportunity to visit the set of The Avengers: Age of Ultron and meet with most of the film's core cast. On our first full day we walked through sets, spending most of our time in The Avengers Tower but we'll be talking about that in the future. Right now we're focusing on day two of the set visit when we returned to finish up some interviews we missed previously. Before we sat down with Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo we witnessed RDJ at work.
On this day, director Joss Whedon and the main unit were on another stage with a 360 degrees circular green screen surrounding a set built to represent one of the world's most important internet hubs. There were six massive server towers, alternating in orange and blue colored lights, surrounding a high-tech terminal where Robert Downey Jr.'s stand-in stood with three extras as the camera crew rehearsed the dynamic shot before RDJ stepped in himself.
The scene is relatively simple and relies on RDJ pretending to hack into the terminal while talking to himself and one of the extras. He makes the situation light, humming and singing to himself, while dressed slickly as Tony Stark. He's trying to discover what's happening and soon realizes Ultron is a part of it. The scene takes place roughly 40% into the film.
A few hours later, in a large empty stage with a large group of journalists, Robert Downey Jr. joined us, walking in with a heavy duty Chef lunchbox in tow - a gift from Jon Favreau he told us. When you read our conversation below, imagine all of Downey's impressions of Paul Bettany being done in a deep British accent. The interview covers everything about The Avengers 2 having some wild ideas Whedon had to pitch him on, thoughts on Paul Bettany suiting up as The Vision, Scarlet Witch getting in the heads of the team, and more!
Talk a little bit about your reaction to first getting the script from Joss Whedon and how it's changed since then?
Robert Downey Jr.: Sure. Well first of all, he's a good writer. So I always tend to think, generally speaking, "is this a movie I wanna see" 'cause all the fine points are gonna get worked out. And there's a lot of, you know, at this point as the Mayor of Marvel, [LAUGHTER] um, I don't know. There's gonna be so many squeaky wheels along the way, many of them practical and others just, you know, creative departures or differences or whatever so to me this kinda started with third Iron Man which is like "alright, um, I'm gonna read the script. Who wrote it?" Shane Black. "I like it." [LAUGHTER] And this time I think that from jump I thought wow, I hadn't figured it out beforehand like this is what Avengers: Age of Ultron should be.
But I was done with the first draft and I said, "Cool. I like it." Kevin [Feige] was like "wait, what did you just say?" [LAUGHS] And I'm sure there was a bunch of iterations and things that changed over time. And then I read the second and then the third draft and he's continuing to write even as we're setting up shots he's going "Oh, I know what I want it to be..." or he'll be bringing back in a line that was in the first draft or whatever.
But I always love - you just it - it's I mean you'd think this was like the ingredients to like that salad dressing that makes girls go into labor. [LAUGHTER] I guess it is. [LAUGHTER]
Joss mentioned he had a lot of ideas for the second Avengers movie even before he took on the first. Were you privy to that at all - about where he wanted to go with Tony, with Vision and Ultron and everyone?
RDJ: Not really. Honestly I didn't really even get to know Joss until we started this movie. Because, you know, 'cause Avengers was so - I don't wanna say disorienting - but it was a thing where it was like this very kind of well-managed, compartmentalized attempt to do something unprecedented. And I didn't feel necessarily the stress of it. But I could tell that it was a little bit of a different approach to the process. And I remember the first time saying too like, "Look, scene one should be Tony." And he was like, "Alright, scene one isn't - isn't Tony." I was like, "But it should be." [LAUGHTER] And as it turned out, it was really smart the way it all worked out for everyone.
Where's Tony now at this point because by the end of Iron Man 3 there's a real sense that he doesn't want to wear the suit and he doesn't want to be the physical guy doing it.
So how are you now playing this role as this progresses?
Yes. Well I would counterpoint that by saying that I thought that the third Iron Man was him about transcending his dependence on the merits of continuing to wear your wound. And I thought that that was kind of what Shane [Black] and I thought was the real win - That he throws that thing that had become a dependency away because I - that was the question I was always asking is like "why doesn't he get those shards out? It's dangerous."
So it kinda reminds me of like all that stuff particularly as you get a little older or if you have any existential queries whatsoever. It's like why aren't I dealing with that which is going to destroy me any second anyway? And then the armor was kind of an extension of that. And also there was just so many suits, but I think he realizes that tweaking and making all the suits in the world - which is what he has been doing - still didn't work for that thing of his tour of duty that left him a little PTSD. So his focus is more on how can we make it so that there's no problem to begin with. That, you know, there's a bouncer at our planet's rope. That's the big idea.
Joss was telling us yesterday that one of the big themes of the entire film is being destroyed by power. And I'm curious how you think that applies to Tony and his story.
How does it apply to Tony?
Do you have a witty remark otherwise? [LAUGHS]
Well, I mean, honestly, I think it's probably that thematically I think it's the best thing Joss decided to go after. You know what I mean? It's a very kinda typical gung-ho western iconic thing to be like there's nothing wrong with me. Now let's begin, you know. And so it's kind of like an objective introspection at the whole idea.
And I think he always thinks about it. Like he says, "alright, let me just pretend I'm being pro-offered this narrative at first glance." What do I think? "Alright, they're nuts."It keeps doing a bit of the Noam Chomsky approach [LAUGHS] to Avengers in retrospect which I think is healthy. And I think it also it just opens up a whole other avenue of creativity for it.
That's what I really notice. There's a lot of dots that could have connected a certain way but because there's that theme of could it be that we're the problem and therefore a bad guy - if you wanna call it - I can't really say there's a bad guy. I mean it's hard to call Jimmy Spader a bad guy but it's scary and it's he's bright and hurting and all that, but his thought is like, I see what's wrong here. And guess what? It's y'all. [LAUGHTER]
So Tony throws a party for The Avengers in this movie in his tricked out Stark Tower. How does an Avengers house party differ from a normal house party? [LAUGHS]
OK. [Smiles] ] Well, Tony's - it was so funny. We were on that stage a couple days ago and I just see it's just leveled. [LAUGHTER] And I go, "this guy just can't throw a party." [LAUGHTER] And I don't know why that never gets old. Maybe it would get old if it happened again. But this time it still feels like it's now the norm. There's just, you know, it's like when [John] McClane has to run over the broken glass thing. It's just that. And probably in a lot of ways - god bless J. Michael Riva - the best production design there has been in my opinion.
It looks amazing.
Yes, save for the fact that the entirety of the walking, running, sliding and stunt surface is not just like ice. It's like future ice. [LAUGHTER] Which to me is the great ah-ha of, I consider, you know, every time I go like, alright, I'm gonna run through this then I'm gonna jump through that sugar glass then I'm gonna roll and then the wire will go and then you go alright, but I have no footing here because they didn't put a step there... "OK, and rolling!" Nope, can we just put a step there 'cause I got plans for Christmas. [LAUGHTER]
Can you talk a about Tony's relationship with Ultron? You said that he's that they're the problem. Is he kind of a reflection of Tony's dark side and is there a father/son relationship there?
Um, no, it's not really that. It's more, it's so funny - I always revisit the concept that every impulse starts off as a positive impulse. Even the impulse to kill starts off as an impulse to change, to rail against, to challenge the authority of in a very direct permanent solution to a temporary problem kinda way. And I think because Tony's solution is what becomes the problem in a way that's really kinda interesting and also ties into The Vision.
There was a Rubik's Cube to how not to make these things have an Act Three, that you're just going "I really hope you like Acts One and Two because now we're just gonna do all this stuff!" And to me and I think it was the same thing in Iron Man 3, Act Three was the strongest act. And I think that this is really gunning for that sort of thing because, you know, I love movies. I love these kinds of movies. And so I feel like I'm just a very tolerant kind of consumer with these things but I also feel like the half-life of - if you noticed just how flooded the market is becoming and likely to become potentially even more so I think that there has to be a bit of a transcendence of formula, you know?
And so without giving too much away, I think, and why I generally just kinda like stamped it when the first draft came in is 'cause I thought, "Oh wow, it didn't fall into that trap." And I read the last page and I got chills for a reason I definitely can't explain. [LAUGHTER] But there's a lot of new talent coming in with Aaron Taylor-Johnson and obviously, Lizzie Olsen. And just even seeing Paul Bettany within a thousand miles [LAUGHTER] of the set where we're shooting is just like "Wow, this is gonna be really cool.
It was amazing yesterday to see Paul in costume and you can recognize him as The Vision but there were like little Iron Man touches, like the gauntlets look kinda like your suit. There's something really fascinating about having Bettany finally in this and have you have some role in his creation.
Yeah, it's really cool. Again, that to me was another one of those things. And in my opinion there's been a lot of movies that even if they didn't entirely work they headed towards something that was new territory, whether it was Watchmen or the second and third Matrix. I always feel like too if you're a fan of the first one, I don't wanna hear anything bad about the next seven. Um, that might be a bit extreme. [LAUGHTER] But there are a lot of elements without being derivative of other, I think, groundbreaking films in this genre that are kind of like reinterpreted in a way that's really cool.
Back to Bettany, there is no one I would rather have the delight of seeing in the extreme discomfort [LAUGHTER] than Paul Bettany. Because when he's doing his, literally, this is his Hamlet moment that is going on. And an operator starts going [IMPRESSION OF CREW GRUNTING ORDERS]. And like I'm just used to it 'cause I just did a movie with Janusz Kaminski as director of photography where he'll literally just walk in while you're weeping and go, "Asshole, bring the light over here." [LAUGHTER] "More smoke! More smoke!" [LAUGHTER] So I just kinda like "hey, should I just keep crying or do you need a minute?" [LAUGHTER]
But it started to happen. And Bettany literally was just like, "Ah, I'm sorry. I-- I'm sorry. Will you be done in a moment?" [LAUGHTER] Yeah. And he's just there just like, you know, "do we have five seconds? Good. Put more glue on Paul's neck" for no reason 'cause we're literally gonna CGI the whole thing. Just to make sure he's hurting. [LAUGHTER] Uh, as I call it glue gun Glengarry Glen Ross. [LAUGHTER]
But it's the Brit approach to being boiled alive which is just very like, "I apologize, my skin is sloughing off." [LAUGHTER] "Do you mind? But five degrees less."
In the first Avengers Stark is maybe a little skeptical, or at least suspicious of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Nick Fury.
I'm curious how he reacted to what happened in Captain America 2 now that S.H.I.E.L.D. is out of the picture and how that plays into the reunion of The Avengers?
Right. Well, regardless of principles, there is a personality factor there that was represented initially in Coulson and then in Fury that are kind of like, um, friendships that developed under bizarre circumstances that are kind of genuine. So, while they might have seemed as some kind of inevitability I think that, again, if you think about it, you know, the last time he kind of goes "alright, I've actually dealt with one of my 50 core issues." And now I feel rather than him putting it all down, he was just kinda saying, alright, job one roughly taken care of. And I think this is job two.
Job two was go back east and get people organized and do what I can. And also, you know, I - I love that Tony's not one of those superheroes who's ever lost his money. [LAUGHS] Which is great. He's never lost his dough. The stocks have gone down. But anyway. So I think what he's trying to do is kind of set up shop where eventually this can be, you know, it's like with our vis effects guy Christopher Townsend. It's like eventually you just gotta hand this over to the vendors so they can finish the job. And I think that's kind of what Tony's thinking.
Tony is very much a man of science and technology. How does he reconcile some of the things that this Wanda character can do which is very much not of this world? Scarlet Witch has some different kind of abilities that we've really seen from anyone.
I know, I love it.
You know, I mean, just personally... I'll say it, artist, I think it's just one of those things that you can't have, you know, once actors start complaining about something, there's no end to it. So I've honestly this time just try to be like "that's a given." The given is people can get inside your head. So I just think of it as a kind of a metaphor for relationships.
And she's like that gal from college who was crazy or whatever. [LAUGHTER] To me Quicksilver, and the way that they've been put together and their kind of origins, a take on Joss' behalf to me is just like "dude, I never would have thought of that. And that's the absolute coolest way you could have done it." Everybody was always the fast gun at something when I was growing up. And he's that. And I think also he's a very kind of mature actor from what I know of him. I just like him and he seems really kind of wise beyond his years. But he's also - he's just youth. And I'm pushing 50 now I realize like youth is just an incredible advantage. [LAUGHTER] Whether you use it or not is, you know, is another matter.
In Iron Man 3 we saw a lot of Tony Stark. We got to follow Stark's journey more than Iron Man in some ways. How much of Tony versus Iron Man in this one?
Well, it's funny, you know, and I'm happy to do it for Joss 'cause I trust him. There's a lot of times where we by nature are standing around talking about the plot. But I would rather do that now than do it in November when the first test screening happens and someone says we need you guys standing around talking about the plot more. But there's a lot of - to me it's always a trade off too.
So actually as far as action goes this time, you know, I got my beak wet to the point of shutting [LAUGHS] down production for a couple months last time [INJURY DURING IRON MAN 3 PRODUCTION] which I enjoyed. And this has been really just more of a kind of a fluid thing of being in the relationships and being - because he's the guy who is the kind of technologically possible superhero.
I think that Joss is leaning on me a little bit to mean like if this is credible to you even if you snark about it a little bit, then other people are gonna buy it. And I'm like, "that's true." He goes, "Great. Here's the scene I need you [LAUGHS] to do." And I go, "OK." But he's also, you know, this time around I just wanna say in summary it's been fun. And we all have become close. Last time was kinda like, you know, Thor's in. Cap's out. Tony's in. Everyone's together… twice.
Because that's all they could manage 'cause it was like working with mercury and herding cats. [LAUGHTER] And this time it's that. But we've also kind of all been, uh, I don't know. It just seems like we really are genuinely developing relationships with each other. And I think the start and end of it is in trusting Joss. That he kinda really, really knows what he's doing. And that in the broad strokes this movie's gonna be great. I really think so.

An update on celibacy, almost 3 months in; it's a profoundly revealing excercise.
I have come to see and understand many of the layers that have been preventing me from receiving love when I've been in relationship, and also stopped me from being my whole, authentic self when I am in relational dynamics with men.
The big one was noticing how I tend to accommodate the masculine. It's that almost invisible, unconscious handing over of power, choice, leadership. The sense that the experience of the masculine is somehow realer, righter or truer and that I'm here as a 'support' to their endeavours. The sense that I matter less.
I've uncovered layers of hiding, shame, internalised self-objectification, and fear. It has been powerful and at times scary, always deepening, and through my self-pleasure practice, which I've used as a tool for self-healing, I've been able to hold space for my own transformation and growth.
I've expanded my internal awareness and awoken so much sensitivity within my yoni, my heart, and my whole body, and had the blessing of entering many states of deeply blissful orgasm.
I guess what I'm saying is that I'm having the best sex of my life, and I'm alone! I feel deeply empowered and this empowerment is flowing into my life as a whole.
Even just a few months ago, I could not have imagined what a cervical orgasm felt like. Yet, in coming into relationship with my own body, and beginning to explore from a place of love and curiosity, using many of the practices that we teach in the Yoniverse, I have found my way to profound places of pleasure, bliss and wholeness in my body. This isn't luck. This is relaxation. This is surrender. This is discipline plus pleasure. This is curiosity. This is expanding awareness. This is meditation. This is letting go.
This is available to all beings.
I see that I'm the proof in the pudding for a lot of what we offer at the Yoniverse. And because we often have this idea that it's only with toil and hard work that change occurs or that we achieve success.
But pleasure is a pathway too. Deepening into surrender and bliss is a mode of healing and awakening that is deeply aligned with the biological, blooming, unfolding and sexual nature of the universe.
There's so much alive and moving, for our culture as a whole and for us as individuals, leveraging that momentum and expansion is a powerful way to contribute to a cultural shift in the world and within your own being and in your relationships.
If you're interested in exploring this further, please get in touch with me directly to arrange 1:1 coaching sessions. I'm also putting together an online course that will be available soon. A new workshop that I'll offer to all beings regardless of gender identification or sexual orientation.
It's likely to be called Solo Sex and the Adventure of Self. More to come.
