Types of tooth Replacement
A bridge is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap - these two or more anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth - and a false tooth/teeth in between. These false teeth are called pontics and can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Bridges?
Bridges can:
- Restore your smile
- Restore the ability to properly chew and speak
- Maintain the shape of your face
- Distribute the forces in your bite properly by replacing missing teeth
- Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position
What Types of Dental Bridges Are Available?
There are three main types of dental bridges:
- Traditional bridges involve creating a crown for the tooth or implant on either side of the missing tooth, with a pontic in between. Traditional bridges are the most common type of bridge and are made of either porcelain fused to metal or ceramics.
- Cantilever bridges are used when there are adjacent teeth on only one side of the missing tooth or teeth. This is not very common any more and is not recommended in the back of the mouth where it can put too much force on other teeth and damage them.
- Maryland bonded bridges (also called a resin-bonded bridge or a Maryland bridge) are made of porcelain, porcelain fused to metal, or plastic teeth and gums supported by a metal or porcelain framework. Metal or porcelain wings often on just one side of the bridge are bonded to your existing teeth.
What Is the Process for Getting a Dental Bridge?
During the first visit for getting a dental bridge, the abutment teeth are prepared. Preparation involves recontouring these teeth by removing a portion of enamel to allow room for a crown to be placed over them. Next, impressions of the teeth are made, which serve as a model from which the bridge, pontic, and crowns will be made by a dental lab. Your dentist will make a temporary bridge to wear to protect the exposed teeth and gums while the bridge is being made.
During the second visit, your temporary bridge will be removed and the new porcelain or metal bridge will be checked and adjusted, as necessary, to achieve a proper fit. Multiple visits may be required to check the fit of the metal framework and bite. This is dependent on each individual's case. If the dental bridge is a fixed bridge, your dentist may temporarily cement it in place for a couple of weeks to make sure it is fitting properly. After a couple weeks, the bridge is cemented into place.
How Long Do Dental Bridges Last?
Dental bridges can last five to 15 years and even longer. With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, it is not unusual for the life span of a fixed bridge to be over 10 years.
Will It Be Difficult to Eat With a Dental Bridge?
Replacing missing teeth with a dental bridge should actually make eating easier. Until you become accustomed to the bridge, eat soft foods that have been cut into small pieces.
Will the Dental Bridge Change How I Speak?
It can be difficult to speak clearly when teeth are missing. Wearing a dental bridge with the anterior teeth in their proper relationship will help you speak properly.
How Do I Care for a Bridge?
It is important to keep remaining teeth healthy and strong as the success of the bridge (depending on the type selected) depends on the solid foundation offered by the surrounding teeth. Brushing twice a day and flossing and using an antiseptic mouthwash daily help prevent tooth decay and gum disease that can lead to tooth loss. Your dentist or dental hygienist can demonstrate how to properly brush and floss teeth. Keeping a regular cleaning schedule will help diagnose problems at an early stage when treatment has a better prognosis. Selecting a balanced diet for proper nutrition is also important.

Liqua-Flange is no longer made.
Please check out these replacement products:
ToneCore Liqua-Flange Features:
Model Switch - This switch is used to select three distinctly different types:
- Digital - The wet signal has a flat frequency response.
- Liquid - Has dual delay lines with the modulation offset from each other.
- Analog - The wet signal has the frequency response of classic analog devices.
- Saw Down - This wave has a shape that resembles the teeth on the blade of a saw. Within one cycle this wave falls linearly, then immediately rises to it's starting point.
- Saw Up - This is an inverted version of Saw Down where the wave has a smooth linear rise and an immediate drop at the end of its cycle.
- Envelope Down - This modulation source uses an envelope follower to track the amplitude variations of the input signal and produce a control signal that modulates the flanger?s delay time.
- Envelope Up - An inverted version of Envelope Down.
- Sine - Uses a sinusoidal waveform as the modulation source.
- Step - Uses a modulation waveform produced by a random value generator where each cycle of the LFO produces a different modulation level.
- Random - Same as Step but with a smoothing filter applied to the output of the LFO, producing smooth value changes with each LFO cycle.
- Vintage - Based on* the unique waveform of the classic MXR® flanger.
- Chorus - Uses a triangle modulation waveform with an extended offset and range to produce a chorus effect.
- Trigger Up - Uses a modulation source derived from attack detection DSP, this in turn triggers an envelope that rises linearly. The rise time is determined by the speed knob.
- Trigger Down - Same as Trigger Up but with a falling envelope.
Wave Select Knob - Select from 11 amazing waveforms that get you everywhere from classic stompbox to modern studio and beyond.
Speed Knob - Controls the rate at which the delay line?s time is modulated. Turning the speed control fully counter clockwise to the OFF position stops the modulation of the delay line completely.
Feedback Knob - Increases the amount of the wet signal fed back into the input of the effect. Increasing feedback (clockwise rotation) will increase the intensity of the flange.
Depth Knob - Controls how widely the delay line will be modulated.
Tap Tempo - Using the innovative ToneCore double-action footswitch, you can tap a couple times and have the flanging pulsations match your tempo. Whether the effect is active or bypassed, you can tap the footswitch lightly to set your tempo. Your first two taps establish the tempo and any additional taps will be averaged in. The Tap Tremolo indicator light flashes the tempo in green when the effect is ON and amber when the effect is OFF.

Bava Kama 30 - 36
Not Getting What You Didn't Ask For
One claims that another owes him wheat which he loaned him. The defendant responds to this claim by admitting that he borrowed barley from him. The Sage Rabba bar Nosson rules that the defendant is exempt not only from repaying the wheat but from repaying the barley as well.
Bava Kama 35b
We can readily understand why there is no obligation to repay the wheat. The claim is not backed by any evidence nor has it elicited any admission. But why should he not have to repay the barley which he owes by his own admission?
A number of explanations have been offered:
- Since the claimant did not mention barley in his claim it is considered as if he said he was waiving any claim to barley.
Rashi and Tosefos
- Since he claimed the wheat was borrowed at a specific hour on a specific day it is considered an admission on his part that barley was not borrowed at that time. This admission negates the admission of the defendant and exonerates him.
Rabbeinu Asher (Rosh)
- An admission is irrevocable evidence of responsibility only when it is in response to a claim. Since there was no claim made regarding the barley the defendant can renounce his admission by claiming that he made it only in jest.
Rabbi Meir Halevi
Three Dimensions of Perfection
The very righteous men of old disposed of their thorns and broken glass by burying them in their fields three handbreadths deep to assure that a plow would not unearth them and threaten the security of others who might somehow be harmed by these objects.
How does one become a very righteous man?
"Fulfill the laws regarding damage to others", says Rabbi Yehuda.
"Fulfill the ethical guidelines in 'Ethics of the Fathers,'" says the Sage Rava.
"Fulfill the laws regarding making of blessings," say others in his name.
- Bava Kama 30a
A very righteous man is one who conducts himself in the best possible way. There are three categories of good deeds: Those done in relation to Heaven, in relation to fellow man, and in relation to self. Each of the Sages was focusing on one of these dimensions. One who fulfills the laws regarding damages will perfect himself in his relationship with others. Following the counsel in "Ethics of the Fathers" will enable a man to perfect his character and improve himself. Fulfilling the laws concerning blessings will perfect him in his relationship with Heaven.
- Maharsha

We began our ministry in Kenya in 1980, with the Child Sponsorship Program. In 2001, we started the Leadership Development Program, and the Child Survival Program followed in 2004.
Country Director
In 2004, Joel Macharia joined our ministry in Kenya as a Project Auditor. He later served as an accountant in the Ministry Services Department for three years before being promoted to Ministry Services Manager. He was appointed Country Director in 2010.
Before coming to the ministry, Joel was an auditor for an accounting firm and worked in the finance department for the Pride of Africa airline.
Joel holds a bachelor's degree in commerce from the University of Nairobi and a master's degree in business administration from Daystar University.
Joel also holds a post-graduate diploma in human resource management. He is a member of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants, British Council Leadership Forum and the Kenya Association of Fundraising Professionals.
As an active member at the Nairobi Mission Church, Joel serves as the secretary of the board of trustees. His interests span from development-related fields to behavioral economics.
Having come from a broken home and raised by a single mother, Joel is eager to mentor a generation that has the "willingness and resolve" to overcome challenges and fill the leadership gap in their country.
Implementing Church Partners
Implementing Church Partners are local churches in Kenya with whom we work to deliver child development programs and frontline ministry in the field.
- Spiritual Climate
Christianity is strong in Kenya and Christians make up about 60 percent of the population. There are Christians who are active in politics, but most most national decisions are based on tribal and political affiliation.The new constitution dispensation is a major challenge because it recognizes Islam and gives recognition and expansion to its courts, commonly known as "kadhi" courts. Also, most churches lack basic infrastructure and over depend on developing countries to support them.
- Unique Challenges
Implementing Church Partners in Kenya face the following challenges:- HIV/AIDS is widespread and there is a large population of orphaned children.
- There is a low level of literacy, which can make training on program documents and manuals difficult.
- There is poor governance and rampant corruption by the government. We are hopeful that this will improve with the new constitution.
- Kenya has a very poor infrastructure including poor road systems throughout most of the country, which makes transportation to some Implementing Church Partners challenging. Four-wheeled vehicles are necessary to reach many of our partners.
- There is a high dependence on rain-fed agriculture. Some 80 percent of the population depends on agriculture, but only 20 percent of the land is arable. In cases of drought, famine can quickly become a serious crisis.
- Contributions
Implementing Church Partners contribute space for the classrooms, office and playgrounds. The church leaders contribute time for meetings to discuss child development issues and planning. Pastors will often offer training. - Partner Development Activities
We train the Implementing Church Partner staff on issues of child protection, project management and implementation, conflict resolution, human resource management and proposal development. We also encourage Implementing Church Partners to connect with other like-minded organizations.
Child Survival Program
- Caregiver Literacy
Adult literacy services are provided by the government. The Child Survival Programs that are close to government centers access their services and follow-up is facilitated by our ministry. Child Survival Programs that are far away from government centers invite their facilitators to work with our program implementers to meet the needs of the caregivers.Caregivers are given lessons in reading, writing and simple mathematics. Each caregiver who has completed the course is given an examination and then a certificate. Classes are held weekly, but we provide additional individual attention if needed.
- Income-Generating Skills
We offer a variety of income-generating skills. These include training on simple record keeping and business management, detergent, lotion and shampoo making, dress making, baking, bead work and basketry, sales promotion and management of common groceries, and juice making. - Health Care
The mothers take their children to health centers to receive immunizations provided by the government. However, we will pay for additional immunizations, such as Hepatitis A, which is not provided by the government, as needed.We will also provide Vitamin A supplements, which are provided free of charge from the government health centers because Vitamin A supplementation is a requirement for children 6 months to 5 years old.
Mothers are given training and education on prenatal care by a trained medic and by Child Survival Program implementers.
In addition, pregnant mothers are provided with delivery kits by our implementers as they wait to deliver in a government health facility.
Delivery kits contain a cord clamp, a sterile blade, gloves and cotton. We pay the delivery fee for the pregnant mothers in the Child Survival Program.
Child development workers have been trained in the Community-Integrated Management of Childhood Illness program to enable them to facilitate efficient management of childhood illnesses, both in the community and at the facility. Health screening is done twice a year for the beneficiaries at the Child Survival Programs, and medication is provided for those who are ill.
Sick children that need referrals are assisted in accessing appropriate medical specialists and the referral process is coordinated by the Health Specialist. We pay medical bills for children needing medical attention at a health center, but parents are encouraged to pay 10 percent of the total bills.
Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV interventions are facilitated by the Implementing Church Partners to lower the risk of mother-to-child transmission for HIV-positive expectant mothers. Mothers/Caregivers are encouraged to go for HIV testing, and those found HIV-positive are encouraged to join a Child Survival Program support group.
Some of the services we offer in these support groups include education on HIV and transmission, support for accessing treatment, nutritional support for the children, replacement feeding for the children born to HIV-positive mothers, and additional testing and counseling.
- Nutritional Support
We provide monthly food supplements for all babies and pregnant mothers including porridge flour, lentils and beans.Malnourished babies are put into the nutrition rehabilitation program. This program trains caregivers on appropriate nutrition for children, provides additional food supplements, performs regular growth monitoring to check progress, and monitors the caregivers' home situations to assess compliance with the program's guidelines.
Food security training is given at the Implementing Church Partners. Church partners invite agricultural officers who train caregivers on best agricultural practices, including seed selection for different types of soils and ways of enhancing crop production.
Starting kitchen gardens and gunny-bag farming gives caregivers the opportunity to own a vegetable garden that can contribute to a balanced family diet.
Mothers also receive ongoing training on income-generating skills, which should enable them to be self-supporting. During drought times, our ministry, the church, other NGOs and the government distributes relief food to needy families.
- Involvement of Fathers
Fathers participate in income-generating activities and some have started small businesses as a result.We have held couples' seminars where husbands and wives are trained on how to have healthy relationships, and we make an effort to recognize the fathers during special events such as transitioning ceremonies and breast-feeding week.
Many fathers help develop toys with locally available materials such as swings and balls, and they participate in Child Survival Program memory-book training and field trips. Memory books are a family history for the children in our program that serve as a diary when they grow up.
It is also a source of family information in the event one or both parents die; we encourage both the mother and father to be involved in creating this book.
- Transitioning Out of the Child Survival Program
During stimulation time at home and at the center, the children are taken through life skills and pre-reading and writing skills, which prepares them for transitioning.The Child Survival Program Implementers and the Child Sponsorship Program staff guide the caregivers through what to expect from the sponsorship program six months before the transition.
- Areas of Expansion the Child Survival Program
We plan to expand into the eastern, western and central provinces because they have the highest rates of maternal and infant morbidity and mortality rates.
Child Development Through Sponsorship
Your sponsorship of a child in Kenya provides a variety of benefits.
Children are busy with school during the week so we meet on Saturdays and holidays.
- Weekly meetings
- 3 to 5 year olds: 8 hours on Saturday; during school holidays, 8 hours a day, Monday to Saturday. School holidays are in August (4 weeks), December (6 weeks) and April (4 weeks).
- 6 to 8 year olds: 8 hours a week, and 8 hours on 6 Saturdays during school holidays
- 9 to 11 year olds: 6 hours a week, and 8 hours on 6 Saturdays during school holidays
- 12 to 14 year olds: 4 hours a week, and 8 hours on 6 Saturdays during school holidays
- 15 to 18 year olds: 4 hours a week, and 8 hours on 6 Saturdays during school holidays
- 19 +: 4 hours on Saturdays during holidays
- Nutritional Support
Each child receives a snack and lunch during every Saturday program. A typical snack consists of a cup of porridge, or cup of tea, slice of bread and fruit, and in some cases an egg. A typical lunch consists of rice or ugali, beef stew, bean stew or legumes, and green leafy vegetables such as kale or cabbage.Children who are in the HIV program are given nutritional supplements to boost their immunity. We provide this food for the children because they often are not fed at home. The food gives the children the ability to concentrate in class and also to play.
During extremely difficult situations where food is unavailable, children come to the child development center with their siblings just for a meal. It's the only place where they are able to eat something.
- Vaccinations
Medical professionals conduct screenings at the child development center twice a year; the first screening is done for all children and the second is specifically for children under the age of 12. When vaccinations are needed and involve many children, they are done at the center.If only a few children are involved, they can be accompanied by their caregiver or health worker at a nearby medical facility. If vaccinations are needed for an outbreak such as typhoid, children are vaccinated through Complementary Interventions support.
- Extracurricular Activities or Community Service
We offer a variety of extracurricular activities like an annual soccer competition; quarterly displays of items children have made such as beadwork, carpentry and leatherwork; talent days where children perform music, drama or poems; and teen camps held during holidays.Children participate in community service as well by visiting and helping sick caregivers in their community, helping to clean their homes, and by participating in tree-planting activities.
- Vocational Activities
Most of the vocational activities we teach are practical skills that will allow adolescents to be well-rounded individuals who will use their God-given talents.Adolescents are involved in activities such as computer training, carpentry, motor vehicle repair, dress making, cooking, hair dressing, driving, life skills and tree planting. They also participate in Christian preaching and Bible studies.
- Job Placement for Adolescents
We do not provide any formal job placement assistance, but upon completion of the Child Sponsorship Program, we provide a start-up tool kit containing items needed to start a business in their chosen skill, which provides them with the initial capital needed.For example, a student who studied tailoring will receive a sewing machine, needle, thread, cloth, etc.
- Parent Involvement
We have adult literacy classes at the child development centers, Monday through Friday in the afternoons. We also offer health education, spiritual talks and education, education on farming practices, training on child protection and prevention of abuse, and education on parents' role in child development.In addition, we allow them to be involved in income-generating projects.
- Areas of Expansion for Child Sponsorship Program
We would like to expand into the eastern, western and Rift Valley regions of Kenya. We specifically chose these areas because they have high levels of poverty and infant mortality, there are no NGOs working with churches, there are churches that could be potential partners, and growing in these areas will support our cluster strategy.
Leadership Development Program
- Universities Attended
Most of the students attend public government universities, but a small percentage of students attend private Christian universities. - Location of Universities
There are four universities in the capital city of Nairobi, and the rest are spread throughout the country. - Service Opportunities
Many of the students serve at our church partners teaching and mentoring the children. They also visit hospitals to minister to patients as well as children's homes to encourage the children. During work camps, students help to renovate houses for orphans and widows. Additionally, some serve in schools as volunteer teachers. - Leadership Development Program Meetings
The larger Leadership Development Program group meets for an annual five-day conference where they come together for leadership training. They listen to speakers who share various curriculum topics. The students are also given the opportunity to get to know each other and new students better.The Leadership Development Program Specialist carries out an evaluation, and a health screening is also conducted at this time. In addition, students have an annual work camp where they engage in evangelism, open-air meetings, hospital visits, school visits and house renovation.
- Specialty Curriculum Topics or Resources
The students participate in the Christian Union where they practice spiritual disciplines of prayer, Bible study and evangelism within the campuses. We also cover the following specialty curriculum topics:- Sexual purity — we use Bible study materials, which the students discuss in care groups.
- Servant leadership — we encourage the students to undertake service opportunities where they exercise servant leadership.
- Entrepreneurship — we have networked with entrepreneurship organizations to train our students in business.
- Mentors
We organize mentorship training opportunities three times a year where potential mentors and students can come to learn about our mentor program and their role in the program.New mentors are trained and continuing mentors come for refresher training and to give feedback.
- Career Placement Assistance
We organize job-shadowing dinners and breakfasts where the students are able to interact with CEOs and human resource personnel from various companies. In the past, some of our Leadership Development Program graduates have found jobs through these connections. - Leadership Development Program Alumni Group
The Leadership Development Program Alumni group is actively involved in meetings where they discuss and plan their outreach programs of giving back to their communities. They keep in touch with each other and make efforts to connect recent Leadership Development Program graduates with job opportunities.They also meet with current Leadership Development Program students and encourage them to uphold the leadership principles. Some students act as mentors for current students.
Complementary Interventions
Complementary Interventions in Kenya include medical interventions for Child Sponsorship Program children; malaria prevention campaigns, which include distributing treated mosquito nets; disaster relief, such as rehabilitating homes destroyed by crises and conducting peace and reconciliation forums; and clean water projects.
Highly Vulnerable Children
Primary Highly Vulnerable Children needs in Kenya are providing care replacement for the children hosted in our four cottages. These children require a stable and regular guardian to provide consistency and emotional security for the children.

'City Island' and 'Racing Dreams'
On The Aisle
By Tony Macklin
In "City Island," actor Andy Garcia reveals a range and humanity he's seldom, if ever, exhibited.
Usually Garcia is a bit mannered as an actor, but as New York Corrections Officer Vince Rizzo, he gives what well may be his best performance. He's forceful, vulnerable, funny and engaging as the head of a family that is bursting at its seams with secrets.
It's a deft human performance.
For most of its 100 minutes, "City Island" is smart entertainment. The characters are involving, and the dialogue has snap. It's a film that alludes to the movie "The Fugitive Kind" and quotes Ogden Nash.
"City Island" is the story of Vince Rizzo, his wife, Joyce (Julianna Margulies), their college-age daughter, Vivian (Dominik Garcia-Lorida), and younger son (Ezra Miller). The Rizzos bicker and squabble. Each member has minor and major secrets.
Also into Vince's life come a young prisoner, Tony Nardella (Steven Strait), and an aspiring actress, Molly (Emily Mortimer), who add to his secrets and teach him useful lessons.
One of Vince's secrets is that he wants to be an actor and clandestinely is taking an acting class while his family thinks he is playing poker. The scenes about acting have convincing verisimilitude. Alan Arkin, who plays a drama teacher, has a funny speech about pauses in delivering dialogue.
There also is a hilarious bit of Vince trying to do an impression of Marlon Brando at a casting call.
Writer/director Raymond De Felitta gives his talented cast some good lines and nice bits of business in his personal film. What makes "City Island" even more personal for Garcia is that his daughter, Dominik Garcia-Lorida, plays his daughter in the film.
Margulies (TV's "The Good Wife") has to hector a bit much but is substantial as Vince's wife. Strait is amiable as the hunky, former prisoner. As always, Mortimer is very appealing as the actress with a heavy secret.
De Felitta worked developing his film for a long time, and it may have caused him to commercialize the conclusion. Most of "City Island" is unique and creative, but the ending is diluted and pat.
Most of "City Island" is like a balloon that soars and darts, but at the end the helium escapes and the balloon goes kaput. De Felitta loses his nerve.
"City Island" ends like a sitcom — Everybody Loves Vince — with everything tied together. Even Molly is sent down the path of conformity. While most of the movie has originality and authenticity, the end is hokey.
Before the ending falters, "City Island" has a personal, enjoyable verve.
Racing Dreams
"Racing Dreams" — or Chariots of Tire — is a niche documentary about three young Kart race drivers who aspire to someday be NASCAR champions.
The more addicted you are to going round and round, the more you'll relate to "Racing Dreams." As Tina, one mother, says, she's bored by baseball and doesn't understand it, but "racing is an addiction, and we got it bad."
The three fresh-faced cherubs are 13-year-old Brandon, who competes in senior class racing, and junior class competitors 12-year-old Josh and 11-year-old Annabeth.
Brandon is the bad boy with a temper, and the press notes say the story is "part Catcher in the Rye." But I knew Holden Caulfield, and Brandon, you're no Holden.
Michigander Josh seems more like he will be head of the Chamber of Commerce than a racing superstar. His roomful of carefully arranged trophies is both impressive and depressing.
Annabeth is fetching as the feisty female dreamer.
Director Marshall Curry of New York trods into foreign territory and has the keen eye of a visitor. But his film smacks of being too much of a home movie. And the kids' narration and commentary sometimes seems practiced.
But for those whose church is in Talladega, it won't matter.

There are TWO reasons our customers love Redstuff, First because they are the lowest dust pad we have encountered by reducing dust by 60-90-percent. Plus the minimal dust you see is very easily removed with a simple sponge wash as it contains no steel fibre particles as in ALL OTHER pads. Second they brake like an alligator right from cold (as good as Original pads or better) and just get better as they heat up.This material is a Synthetic Fiber based brake compound enhanced with ceramic particles. If you have previously tried EBC redstuff (pre-ceramic compound) this material is light years ahead. It lasts longer; it brakes better and is quieter. Being a hard wearing pad, bed-in times can be as long as 1000 miles and drivers must be patient until the pad takes up the shape of their disc (brake rotor). This is a truly impressive fast road pad for repeated heavy braking.It emits far less dust than semi-metallic pads and has been proven to stop a passenger car/sedan/sport compact/hot hatch 13 metres quicker than OEM pads from 100mph/160kph. Features EBC Brake-In surface coating which conditions rotor surface and accelerates pad bed-in. Nominal friction coefficient 0.5 with approx. 50-percent dust reduction.Most EBC Red Ceramic pads are approved to ECE R90 brake safety regulation.

Depth is a good problem to have.
Early in his tenure as General Manager in Los Angeles, Dean Lombardi once said 'I need everything' when asked what type of players he was looking for to help the struggling Kings.
Now, many years later, after methodically stocking the prospect pool through shrewd drafting and multiple trades, the 54-year old Massachusetts native has a new problem to deal with. Not only is he learning what it's like to lead as a Stanley Cup winner, but he's also managing the challenge of dealing with other clubs from a position of strength as well.
You see, his once barren cupboards are now fairly full.
So stocked in fact, that the team recently lost Thomas Hickey, a former first round draft pick, via waivers. There just wasn't a place for him on the NHL roster. And, per the rules, they couldn't stash him away in the minors forever.
Which brings us to the MayorsManor rankings of the top prospects in the organization at the moment.
While reviewing the list below it should be noted that people use different criteria when putting lists like this together – i.e. the player closest to making it to the NHL gets ranked first or the player with the most long-term upside or even the player who fits the team's needs best.
As noted in the past, our rankings are based upon overall value. Put simply, all things being equal, which player would you have to have if you were another GM looking to swing a deal.
Finally, we should also mention that the slotting of players was determined solely by MayorsManor. However, that process was influenced by dozens of conversations that have taken place in the last six months with hockey executives, coaches, scouts and even players.
We'll count down to the top prospect in reverse order, staring with numbers six through 10 here – and then have the top five next hour.
10. Brandon Kozun (RW) – With 11 goals through 42 games played in Manchester this season, Kozun is on pace for his third straight year of at least 20 goals scored in the AHL. At 5-foot-8, it's never long before his size enters the discussion though. As noted in past rankings, smaller players have to be one of two types to be successful at the highest level – either like Mike Cammalleri (sniper) or Theo Fleury (agitator, hard to play against, pure nasty, etc.). Nearly every player we've spoken with that was a teammate of Kozun's or has played against him says the same thing – he's very driven and hard to play against. He also thinks he's ready for the NHL. But, others insist he still needs to work on his defensive game. His best assets are good hands, speed and quickness. Overall, we've been told he has a shot at the NHL. Listen to Kozun on the MayorsManor show here.
9. Andy Andreoff (C/LW) – Like Dwight King before him, Andreoff could be the wild card that throws off the balance at the top of these rankings. He's one of the few true power forwards in the Kings' system, but his offensive production has dropped off since being selected in the third round of the 2011 NHL Draft. At the time, he had just completed a 33 goal, 109 point season in the OHL. The Kings wanted to sign him and send him to Manchester, but he opted to return to Oshawa for his over-age year. Rather than dominate the younger players, he finished his junior career with a 22 goal season. Now, as a first-year pro, he's notched six goals in 37 games played with the Monarchs. To move up the list he's either going to need to regain his scoring touch or, ala Trevor Lewis, reinvent himself as a checking line player. Listen to Andreoff on the MayorsManor show here.
8. Kevin Gravel (D) – He could turn out to be one of those late-round draft gems. Selected during the fifth round of the 2010 NHL Draft in Los Angeles, Gravel has grown into a more coveted player than he was back then. Now a junior at St. Cloud State University, he has great range with his stick. Although that's not a national power house school, they're doing a fine job of developing him, as he was one of Team USA's better players on the blueline at the 2012 World Junior Championship. Gravel is primarily a stay-at-home defenseman, like Rob Scuderi. And at 6-foot-4, he could be a future shutdown guy in LA if he packs some more strength on.
7. Nick Deslauriers (D) – If you could somehow merge Matt Greene's mean streak with the grace of Alec Martinez, you'd probably end up with Nick Deslauriers. He'll dazzle you with skill, then knock your head off if you deserve it. The one concern with him at the moment is that he hasn't taken a significant step up yet. Following a breakout year in the QMJHL in 2011-12 – where he was one of the best defensemen in the playoffs too – last season he managed just one goal as a pro. Now, with three goals in the first half of this season, coupled with regular playing time, he appears to be settling in to what he will ultimately become.
6. Martin Jones (G) – Consistency. If Jones ever finds it, the 6-foot-4 goaltender will quickly climb back up these rankings. Although he's shown flashes of brilliance over the past two seasons in Manchester, he's also been less than impressive for month-long stretches. By contrast, Jonathan Bernier owned the net during his final year in the AHL, making everybody stand up and take notice. Jones has yet to make his mark and that's part of the reason he's slipped a few spots down the rankings. Stats aren't everything when evaluating a player's future, as the team around him can have a major impact on the overall numbers. However, it's still telling that Jones' key metrics have yet to return to where they were during his first year as a pro in 2010-11. Recently, Lombardi was also quick to point out that Jones isn't ready for the next step. So even if Bernier is traded at some point in the months ahead, don't expect to see Jones in Los Angeles this season. Listen to Jones on the MayorsManor show here.

Schreker – Vorspiel zu einem Drama
Mahler – Rückert-LiederBerg – Three Orchestral Pieces, op.6
Pfitzner – Palestrina: Three Preludes
I struggle to recall the last
time I heard a piece by Franz Schreker in a concert programme. It is a great
pity, since, whilst he might not be a 'great' composer, he is often a very good
one, and certainly superior to many composers who occupy concert, still more
opera, programmes. This performance of his Vorspiel
zu einem Drama, an expansion of the opening Prelude to Die Gezeichneten, opened with what one might consider a classic
Schreker sound from the ORF SO under Ingo Metzmacher: lush yet variegated, with
a finely-judged phantasmagorical quality. Not that it lacked direction; indeed,
the onward tread, especially later on, of its progress was a particular quality
of this reading. Unsurprisingly Metmzacher sometimes emphasised the more
overtly modernistic qualities of Schreker's writing, for instance for tuned
percussion, but never didactically. Performance and work veered between post-Gurrelieder, post-Tristan, post-Salome
writing, with a proper sense of nausea at the end. Having walked to the gilded Musikverein
from the Belvedere, where I had seen a good number of works by Gustav Klimt,
this seemed, as it was, properly golden late-late-Romanticism. If Metzmacher
did not wallow unduly, the music remained something of a guilty pleasure.


text: Solving the monster: A review of the 2004 World Puzzle ChampionshipMonday, December 6, 2004The small resort town of Opatija in Croatia sits between lush green hills and the Bay of Kvarner . Views from the waterfront include the Kornati Islands and sometimes a dramatic lightning storm. But competitors at the 13th Annual World Puzzle Championship (WPC) had little time to enjoy the views from their oceanside hotel. The organizers from Croatia 's Feniks magazine kept puzzlers busy with difficult brainteasers, all based on logic and math so that no team would have an advantage because of language. Puzzle solvers familiar with five-time co-sponsor Conceptis Puzzles would recognize many of the puzzle types in the competition, but the organizers also created clever variants and difficult new puzzles. Competitors from twenty-five countries struggled for three days through individual and team rounds that tested their ability to solve puzzles quickly and correctly. In team rounds, each country's players divided the set of puzzles amongst themselves based on each one's strengths and weaknesses. Solve the monsterThe final team round added another challenge: teammates could no longer divide and conquer but had to work as a unit to solve a single puzzle so difficult that most teams just made a guess as time ran out. Onlookers could walk around the tables in this event, and they heard tense discussions as the mental athletes came up with strategies to solve the monster they faced. Players pushed brainteasers on themselves when they weren't competing. At every opportunity, they pulled out paper and pencils and started working through practice puzzles. Pads and puzzle books came out at meals, in the hotel lobby before and after the official matches, and even on the organized Wednesday outing to the coastal town of Porec and the medieval town of Motovun , perched high atop a hill with a 360° view of the surrounding countryside. When they weren't solving puzzles, competitors played games with one another - World Puzzle Championship is a community above all else, and games allowed participants to talk to each other while continuing to exercise their brains. By Saturday morning, the third and last day of the competition, tension had eased and most players were relaxed and chatty. Individual results were in, and only the top thirteen slots would be competing in the finals that day. Those Competitors just below thirteenth place were often quiet and withdrawn, but most non-finalists were happy to be free from the stress and looked forward to the final round. Spectators watched as finalists competedTeam results were in as well, and many attendees took the time at breakfast to congratulate Team U.S.A. on their victory. But practice puzzles continued at their table: U.S.A.'s Roger Barkan and Wei-Hwa Huang were both finalists. WPC's final round was the highlight of the competition. Spectators watched as finalists competed with each other on stage, using big pads of paper and markers - that's right, markers, without erasers. The audience witnessed each solution reveal itself under a puzzler's hand and they winced at every costly mistake. The finals are elimination rounds, with only a few puzzlers moving on to the next level. In this year's final round, reigning champion Ulrich Voight of German finished second and ceded his crown to Niels Roest from the Netherlands, who came into the finals in ninth place but steadily worked his way through the quarter- and semi- finals to compete against Voigt and Roger Barkan. The crowd cheered as Roest quietly accepted the title: World Puzzle Champion. About the authorDerrick Schneider is a food and wine writer, computer programmer and puzzle designer. He thought he was good at solving puzzles until he met the competitors at WPC. He can be reached via his website obsessionwithfood.com Related resources喜欢并分享 |

Please! Educate Yourself!
If you are on psychiatric drugs and think you are taking medicine, please educate yourself. Psychiatric drugs were purposely developed to mimic illegal drugs such as cocaine, methamphetamine, barbiturates, ecstasy / LSD, and the legal one; alcohol. We have extensively studied the mechanisms of action for the five categories of psychitric drugs that mimic illegal drugs; they are psycho-stimulants, antidepressants, anxiolytic, benzodiazepines and anti-psychotics and have developed extremely effective nutritional neurochemical strategies using targeted nutritional therapy to mimic what the illegal/legal drugs do in the brain to ease you out of addiction while healing the damage they inflict, and into a world of health and well being.
Why Not HEAL the Natural Pharmacist and Free Yourself from Your Chemical Prison?
The difference between your natural pharmacists products and highly toxic psychiatric synthetic drugs is that they disable to some degree all healing processes and inflict oxidative stress (tissue damage) to all organs of the body including the brain. They also all have their counterpart in the illegal market- this is no mistake- as Cris Rock said, the government simply wants you on their drugs! One other very important aspect of psyche drugs to note is that they are purposely not easily metabolized in the body which means their neurotoxic nature is afforded even more time than illegal drugs to cause damage to your brain and other critical organs.
Please click HERE here for a thorough explanation of the mechanisms of action of legal (psych) and illegal drugs, and their shared neurochemical impact on brain function.

Grammy Award Winner, Mika Urbanaiks Alcohol & Drug Green Recovery Testimonial
My name is Michelle Urbaniak, and I am 30 years old. I had been diagnosed as an alcoholic and with bi-polar disorder, and had been suffering for the last ten years with various symptoms. Severe depression, mania, paranoia, mood swings, insomnia, anxiety, lack of concentration, to name a few. I had managed to quit drinking with aa for a few years, during which I relapsed many times. My experience with AA wasnt fulfilling, as the idea and concept of having a disease for the rest of my life, kept me in victim mode, contributed to my depression, and although I was doing the program diligently, my symptoms persisted. I went through the conventional medicine way for 3 years, and was prescribed 3 very strong medications, that left me living as a zombie, gaining huge amounts of weight, and leaving me dulled. I have tried so many paths; Christian Science, many different kinds of therapy, and with each new method, I was left disappointed and searching further.
This journey has been a tumultuous one, but I kept my heart and mind open in searching for something, a path that not only made sense to me, but that actually worked. I came across Genitas youtube video about AA and it clicked.
The power of food on the brain and ones emotions as well as the avoidance of the invisible crazy makers wasnt a totally new concept to me, as there had been people in my family who healed themselves from very dangerous diseases naturally, however, I had never heard about the connection between food and addiction and how certain nutritional deficiencies and toxic chemicals in our food and environment can lead to addictive biochemistry, the condition that leads to addiction. Immediately I knew that Genita was on to something real. I felt that her truth was THE truth, no hocus pocus, true science. I read the book, reserved a place in her clinic in Costa Rica, and that was that. My new life had begun from that moment. I received an answer for every single symptom I was dealing with, and in a matter of a few days, I was already feeling calmer, more peaceful and alive.
My brain started to function normally, and with each day, everything was becoming more and more clear to me. We are truly what we put into our bodies, and we transform into the true spiritual beings we were meant to be when we clear ourselves of all the toxins. The program is truly mind blowing. With diligence, commitment and a true passion for living the way of truth, it is not only possible, it is so rewarding to know, that I am not powerless, that I can create the life that I want for myself, that truly there is nothing we cant accomplish when we have the information we need- not just the accurate information about health and healing addictive biochemistry that sales science and subjective dogmas have replaced in traditional rehabs but also how I developed and fostered an addiction so it never happens again. Its truly a toxic world out there full of many invisible crazy makers and knowing how to avoid them is the key in never developing symptoms or cravings again that I would want to self-medicate. I am forever grateful to Genita for her years of work, her total committed spirit to the health and good of others, and to the knowledge and healing she was able to share with me during my stay at her clinic. Thank you to her and to all the wonderful people on her staff, for giving me my life back. My spirit is shining!
Wishing you all the courage and openness to give yourselves the chance to live the best life you can and join the 101 program family. All the best!

text: About Manahawkin Chiropractic and Manahawkin Retrolisthesis Definition the backward slippage of one vertebra onto the vertebra immediately below. note: Forward slippage is anterolisthesis (aka spondylolisthesis). Description Retrolisthesis is reverse spondylolisthesis brought on by the effects of disc degeneration and usually occurs at the L3-4, L4-5, or L5-S1 levels. Click here to hear more about retrolisthesis. Retrolisthesis may cause no pain, slight back pain or pain that extends into the buttock and thigh. Retrolisthesis can narrow the size of the spinal canal to allow spinal nerve irritation. The stress on the intervertebral disc as the backward movement of the vertebra occurs creates much stress on the disc which then causes back pain. (See the white arrow for retrolisthesis.) Examination A thorough, clinical examination that may include imaging is important to your recovery. Lumbar Spine Exam Description Treatment In office, Pro Active uses Cox Technic Flexion Distraction and Decompression to widen the canal space, drop the intradiscal pressure and increase the disc height to relieve pain. You will welcome the Cox Technic manipulation that gently "pulls you apart," as many patients describe the treatment or say they need. Depending on the severity of your pain and symptoms, gentler Protocol I may be applied until 50% relief of pain or more restoring Protocol II may be applied to guide your recovery. Graphic Animation of Cox Technic - Lumbar Spine The disc is pressing on the nerve. Note that as the disc herniation reduces, the pinched nerve is relieved. Cox Technic Protocol I - for severe pain and pain that extends below the knee Cox Technic Protocol II - for pain that is in the low back and leg but does not extend below the knee Like spondylolisthesis, the gentler the flexion-distraction treatment, the better the response. In office adjunctive care may hasten your recovery. At Home Care At home you may want to avoid sitting for long periods of time, wear a support brace if recommended, take nutritional supplements that help rebuild disc cartilage, do exercises that strengthen your spine, sleep on a supportive mattress, sit in an ergonomically designed chair, and modify your daily activities as needed.

So I took some time to check things up, and I looked up some stuff. I took a look at Mashable's 11 Ways to Speed Up WordPress. I picked up W3 Total Cache and set it up. I set everything to store in memcached, and in two memcached instances, one on my server that runs my blog, and one that runs on a virtual machine on a server in my basement.
It seems to have sped some loading time up, but I don't know. If you think it did, by all means, comment.
Thanks to those behind W3 Total Cache, and Cyrus Patten, author of the post on Mashable.

3% is used primarily to support the Cincinnati USA Convention and Visitors Bureau , whose mission is to positively impact the Greater Cincinnati area economy through convention, trade show, and visitor expenditures. The remainder of this portion of the tax is returned to the municipal corporations and unincorporated areas in the county that have hotels but do not levy a separate lodging tax.
3.5% (effective December 1, 2002) is earmarked to the renovation and expansion of downtown Cincinnati's Duke Energy Convention Center and the Sharonville Convention Center , and other capital projects that will drive increased tourism.

The lodging tax is charged to every transient guest occupying a room or rooms with sleeping accommodations in a lodging establishment.
Hotel/motel and bed and breakfast (with at least five rooms) operators are to include the tax on guest bills. If the operators do not collect the tax from guests the operators are responsible for paying the lodging tax.
A hotel is a place where five or more sleeping accommodations are offered to guests, even if the rooms are in separate structures. If a hotel has less than five rooms, the county lodging tax does not apply.
The lodging tax rate is 6.5%.
If a bed and breakfast facility has at least five rooms that are being rented to guests the facility must apply the lodging tax to guests' bills.
The cities of Blue Ash, Cincinnati, Harrison, Forest Park, Norwood, Sharonville and Springdale; and the townships of Colerain, Green and Symmes are presently levying their own lodging tax.
The check should be made payable to The Treasurer of Hamilton County.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays!! I created this SPOOKY HALLOWEEN party for the ORIENTAL TRADING web site. I was so excited when they contacted me to style a Halloween Party using their awesome products!
They have so many Halloween products that it made it hard to pick my favorite ones! I decided to go with the Spooky Soiree Party Collection. This collection has coordinated paper goods, party favors, candy, cupcake collars with picks, place cards, table runner, serving plates and decorations to make it easier to put this Spooky Halloween together!
The sweet table was created by using a Black Birdcage as a focal point. I also used the Skulls on top of the long candle holders, Spiderweb Candelabra and the Spooky Bird Spindles to add some spookiest to the table. The backdrop was created by using the Mad Scientist Wall Background along with some Creepy Cloth and Spider Decals.
I just LOVE the Skeleton Hand Glass ! It sure brought some spooky to the table! I ordered the personalized Spooky Soiree Bottle Labels and used it for the drinks and for the candy containers.
The drink table came all together thanks to the Skull-Shaped Drink Dispenser and for the 2-Liter Drink Bottle Labels! I also decorated the table using some of scary spiders.
The table sitting was created by using the Spooky Soiree Party Collection along with some Feathered Crows, Skeleton Hand Glass and the Silhouette Chandelier. I used the Round Spiderweb Tabletopper and Creepy Cloth on top of a black plastic tablecloth.
My daughter was a cute Vamparina for this photoshoot. :)
I dressed up the drinks by using black tulle, black straws and glued a mini skull on top of each drink.
Here is the look of the setting once the Fog Machine did its magic! It looked soooo cool!
I also decorated my front door using the Halloween Silhouette Decor Kit and Creepy Cloth. The wreath was made using red and black boas wrapped around a plain wreath. I added a Skull and some scary spiders to the wreath.
This is a sponsored post for ORIENTAL TRADING. All opinion are 100% my own. Others may have a different opinion or experience with the product. Crissy's Crafts may have received payment, trade and/or products in exchange for promoting.
Happy Halloween!!
