In this video, we will show to properly lay EPDM around a skylight, covering the necessary steps, how to properly markup and position the membrane, and how to ensure a tight bond with the contact adhesive.
Watch on YouTubeEPDM means ethylene propylene diene monomer. It is a synthetic rubber, with outstanding weatherproof properties, developed over 50 years ago.
Our Techno EPDM kits are specifically designed for the competent DIYer. Some roofs are very easy to weatherproof, particularly freestanding roofs etc. Some roofs require more expertise e.g. roofs with multiple skylights or awkward pipes and apertures.
You should only need basic hand tools for a straightforward roof. e.g. tape measure, shovel, broom, hammer, handsaw, rubbish bags etc.
The average (20m2) rear extension should only take a morning to install. Getting the roof stripped off and any decking replaced if needed usually takes longer than installing the Techno EPDM.
We strongly advise our clients to check both the weather forecast and that they have the correct materials on site prior to starting. The beauty of the Techno system is that if you do get caught in an unexpected shower you have a pre-cut weatherproof sheet to hand... which you can use as a tarpaulin!
It depends if the timber substrate is sound. If there has been a long-term leak, or the decking is chipboard, then the roof may need re-boarding in places. If the substrate is sound and the felt cleaned of dust etc then the EPDM can probably be adhered directly to it using contact adhesive (although this is trickier to install).
To save the time and expense, some customers simply overboard their roofs with new ply or OSB, screwing into the existing substrate.
Techno EPDM is identical on both sides.
Yes, all products are supplied with clear instructions. Sensible precautions should be taken i.e. do not inhale adhesive fumes, do not allow children access to the products etc.
Your new Techno EPDM membrane is guaranteed not to fail due to weathering for 20 years. It is essential that the product is installed in accordance with our detailed instructions.
Yes, EPDM is an inert material with limited environmental impact during manufacture and installation process.
For the best results use in mild conditions, the adhesives should not be used if temperatures are likely to be below 5 degrees Celsius within 24 hours.
We recommend a ply faced insulation board e.g. Kingspan TR31 or similar. Alternatively, you can insulate on top of the decking with foil faced boards, then overboard with OSB or plywood, secured with long screws.
Our contact adhesive can be used for this type of application but, unlike our water-based glue, this is quite tricky to do on large areas. We strongly recommend over boarding roofs with a minimum 12mm ply or OSB and using the water-based glue.
The membrane is incredibly tough and perfect for maintenance access. For balconies etc then we would recommend additional protection. E.g. paving slabs, walkway pads or timber decking.
Chalk is used in the manufacturing process to prevent the membrane sticking together. It will gradually weather off and does not affect its lifespan.
There may be wrinkles or creases in the membrane. These may be caused in manufacturing or shipping. Open out and allow the membrane to "relax" for as long as possible prior to adhering. For stubborn creases, a gentle heat source (e.g. a heat gun or hairdryer) should be applied prior to adhering.
Firestone RubberCover EPDM is manufactured in Saudi Arabia and the large panels are created using vulcanised seams. The material of these seams is homogenous and 100% cured.
The water-based adhesive will work on damp timber but is not designed to be used in the rain. Contact adhesives will only work on dry substrates
Techno EPDM is perfectly compatible with sand and cement.
Our largest 045 (1.2mm) roll is an incredible 12.2m x 30.5m (40ft x 100ft). Our largest 060 (1.52mm) roll is an incredible 12.2m x 30.5m.
EPDM roofs can be easily repaired using the Techno 9" Flashing Tape and primer, cut the Flashing Tape to the desired shape and size, prime the area, allow to go touch dry. Peel the backing paper off and mate the surfaces together. Roller using a silicone roller.

Common Injuries in Dogs
Do you know what to do if your dog suffers an injury? These tips can help you care for your pet after an accident.
Paw Injuries
Paw injuries are particularly common in dogs. Hot pavement, broken glass, and chemicals can cause painful cuts or burns on paw pads. Your dog may limp or favor one leg after a pad injury. If you notice pieces of broken glass or other objects in your pet's paws, try to gently remove them. Don't force the objects if they won't move easily.
Apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth if your pet's paws are bleeding. (Be sure to remove glass or foreign objects first.) If you suspect that your pet has burned paws, use an icepack or cool running water to ease discomfort.
After you've offered basic first aid, take your pet to the veterinarian as soon as possible. The American Veterinary Medical Association recommends visiting the vet immediately if severe bleeding occurs anywhere on the body or bleeding doesn't stop after five minutes.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Bruises, tendonitis, bursitis, and strained or sprained muscles are considered soft tissue injuries. Your dog can develop one of these injuries during strenuous physical activity or simply by bumping into a hard object. Soft tissue injuries can happen to any dog but are particularly common in dogs that participate in agility training. Thirty-three percent of canine agility participants experienced injuries while involved in a study published in Veterinary and Comparative Orthopaedics and Traumatology. The injuries most often affected their backs or shoulders.
Bruises will generally go away on their own in a few days, but the pain from sprains and strains may last longer. Ice packs and heating pads can help keep your pet comfortable. Check with your veterinarian first before giving your pet painkillers, as some human drugs can be toxic in pets.
Rest helps muscles and ligaments heal, although convincing your dog to rest can be difficult. A crate can be helpful if your energetic dog won't stay still. If your pet still limps or is obviously uncomfortable a few days after the injury, call the vet.
Bites can be infected if they're not treated promptly. If your pet has been in a fight with another animal, conduct a full body examination to check for bite wounds and other injuries. Clean wounds with soapy water, then apply antibiotic ointment and a bandage.
Take your dog to the vet if wounds continue to bleed or you're concerned about less noticeable injuries. Bites can damage your pet's muscles, bones, or organs, even when they don't look particularly serious. It's also important to call the vet if your dog was bitten by a cat. Cats have long teeth that inject bacteria in the bite wound, increasing the risk of infection.
Auto Injuries
Despite all of the measures you take to protect your pet, your dog may dash in front of a car or truck one day. Even seemingly minor accidents can cause serious internal injuries. Your dog may seem fine initially but could soon develop serious health issues without prompt veterinary treatment. Bandage wounds and stabilize possible broken bones with splints made of towels, magazines, or other stiff materials before driving your pet to the veterinary office.
Cranial Crucial Ligament Tear
Cranial crucial ligament (CCL) tears made the list of top five dog injuries compiled by ASPCA Pet Health Insurance. The ligaments help keep your dog's knees stable. If your dog has a CCL tear, he or she may be reluctant to put any weight on the affected leg, or you may hear a clicking sound when your dog walks. Partial tears can cause pain when exercising, although your pet may seem fine when resting.
Surgery is the best option if your dog develops CCL. Without surgery, lameness may become permanent.
Nail Injuries
Your pet's nails may bleed if you cut them too short, or your dog catches the nail on something when running or jumping. Hold a styptic pencil against the nail to stop the bleeding. If you don't have a pencil, put flour on the nail instead. Take your dog to the vet if the bleeding doesn't stop after a few minutes or the entire nail is missing.
Are you concerned about an injury or change to your dog's health? Contact our office to schedule a convenient appointment.

Here's a question you probably didn't know was a question: Why is the sky dark at night?
My daughter asked me this about 10 years ago. We were looking up at the night sky, and she said, "There's lots of stars up there." And I said, "Yes."
Then she said, "Are there stars everywhere?" And I said there were. Then she said, "Well, if there are stars everywhere, all of them shining, why don't they fill the sky and make the sky shiny?" In her mind, the sky, instead of being dark, should look like this, brightness everywhere.
Thirteen-year-old girls aren't the only ones asking this question. In 1823, a German astronomer, Heinrich Olbers, wondered, "Why is there dark between the stars?" And ever since, this is called Olbers' Paradox (which sounds better than My Daughter's Too Hard To Answer Question.)
The key to the paradox is, if you look closely at any patch of sky, you will see shining stars. If you look through a telescope, you will see more. The nearer stars will be brighter, of course, but behind them will be more stars, and behind those, even more. Even if those distant stars are dimmer, there are so many of them, their combined glow should add up to a considerable brightness.
So why is it so dark at night? Where does the darkness come from?
Here's an answer. It comes from Henry Reich and his team at Minute Physics. They do very short videos about very big questions.
They pack a lot into this "minute." Actually, they cheated. It's almost four minutes long. I found it fascinating.
The big revelation — for me — is that the darkness between stars suggests that there are chunks of deep space where stars are missing, either because they aren't there (wrong), or because they are so far away, light from those stars hasn't reached us yet (right).
In other words, the darkness tells us something about the size and character of our universe. We're expanding. In a few billion years, those dark patches between stars will grow. There will be fewer stars to see. A few billion years after that, you'll be standing on a hill looking up on a clear night, and the sky will be close to pitch black, no Milky Way, no constellations, just blackness, because the stars we see today are speeding away from us, leaving a faint, infrared light. It will be very lonely. (Unless you're a telescope-wielding butterfly. Butterflies can see infrared. Distant retreating stars will be visible to them. To us, those stars will be invisible.)
Ah me. I'm glad I'm living now. 10 billion years from now, I'd rather be a butterfly.
If you found the Minute Physics video intriguing and you want to spend five more minutes thinking about this, there's another, really good, though more traditional, video that covers the same ground. It's from DeepAstronomy.com and you can find it here.
Also, we came upon a startling Milky Way image, shot from the surface of Mars. It comes, (we think) from independent filmmaker, Rich Smyth, in Britain. Deep space photographers should all be so daring.

Home / Anatomy Trains Store / Courses / Structural Essentials: Arches and Legs
Structural Essentials: Arches and Legs
€695 until Aug 1 2023 / €745 thereafter
- September 1 – 3, 2023
- Amsterdam, Netherlands
- This course is intended for Manual Therapists.
- Description
- Course Details
- Contact
The Structural Essential series is a set of intensive soft-tissue technique courses divided into functional regions. Combining movement and manual techniques for the most efficient and long-lasting results, and using the latest research on the interaction between skeleton, muscles, joints, and fascial proprioceptors, this series of workshops will take you to a new level in therapy.
Designed with the busy manual therapist in mind, each Structural Essentials event gives you a new understanding of the relevant area. The content will outline how the structural and functional anatomy relates to many common issues as well as to the rest of the body. Based on many new and established approaches this series will give you the skills in palpation, BodyReading and functional analysis needed for the modern multidisciplinary therapist.
Arches and the Legs – Underpinning all of our structure is the foot's interaction with the ground, imbalances here clearly have consequences further up the body. Effective arch balance can be essential for easy and graceful walking, pelvic stability, low back efficiency and even head and neck support. The feet and legs are literally the foundation for the rest of our structure and this workshop will analyze the bones of the feet and how they conspire to help or hinder the arches. We will look at the forces coming from the leg muscles and create strategies to help maintain better mechanics by dealing with myofascial restrictions and imbalances.
The Knee and Thigh – A complicated hinge in the middle of two long levers is perhaps not the best of designs – but this "elbow designed by committee" is an excellent work of engineering. The knee joint mediates forces coming down from the hip and up from the foot and still allows a wide range of movement in all but the frontal plane.
- How to differentiate your analysis of the foot and legs from the rest of the mechanical chain, giving an accurate reading of their skeletal relationships
- How to assess and then provide good foot and leg support through the three (or four) arches of the foot
- How the arches act in walking and standing and their relationship to the pelvis and the AT lines
- How to balance the support the arches receive from the long muscles of the calf
- Effective strategies to unwind rotational compensations in the foot, the tibia-fibula complex and the knee.
- Learn how the structures of the knee and thigh co-operate to achieve this and learn to recognize some of the structural dysfunctions that can occur.
- BodyRead the various imbalances which can occur
- Learn to balance the common rotational movements of the knee
Note: Anatomy Trains in Structure & Function course MUST be taken before taking the SE courses. Familiarity with the Anatomy Trains lines and concepts is key to getting the most from the program.

Some days are better than others for the ego. Not that I have much difficulty in the self-esteem department, but even someone with as over-inflated an opinion of himself as me can have his spirits buoyed even higher by the right interactions with people.
First came the e-mail from Carla, @babyjidesign on Twitter, who is a local photographer. She'll be at BlogHer as a photographer and she was looking for some bloggers to feature on her business cards to demonstrate her work and asked me if I'd like to pose. In other words, I'm so beautiful that I could be a part. time. model.
Who turns that down? Not this guy. Not this guy whose Smurf name would be Vanity Smurf if there wasn't already a Vanity Smurf and so he'll instead have to settle for Vain-but-Envious Smurf.
Carla took some really fantastic shots of me and Erin, and a bunch of terrific ones of Erin herself. It was a fun shoot out at a park with plenty of "okay, now walk like you're just walking but turn when I say and look like you're just being casual" and I was all "I can do that. I can be fake-casual like nobody's business." Erin also managed to look fake-casual, although I suppose one might confuse that look for constipation.
She's getting pretty big for that backpack. I remember when she was small enough for me to zip up the sides of my Deuter with her legs inside.
The secret to a great photo, I learned, is a ladder. This is my favourite Backpacking Dad photo now:
See? You can't see the innertube around my waist or my neck fat or anything. Carla rules.
Emily and I went to the movies (again, always, and forever going to movies with a baby. We're very, very good at it) on Monday. After the movie was over Emily went to the restroom to change Adrian's diaper and I waited in the hallway with the stroller. A pair of lovely older women approached me to get a peek at the baby, who wasn't there. They gushed a bit about being grandparents and great-grand-parents and then they walked away. One of them came back a few moments later:
"Can I tell you something? My friend and I were just talking and…who do you look like? Do you know? Who do people tell you you look like?"
"Uh, well, that depends on if they like me or not I suppose."
"If they don't?"
"Robert Goulet."
"Yes! That's it. That's just what we were saying. Something about the eyes!"
I can only hope they had the younger Goulet in mind. The Goulet who was hot when they were hot.
I'm choosing to believe this is what she meant. Not bad. And hey! I have that outfit.
Although mine looks way sweeter with the corsage on my lapel. Yes, that's a corsage. I was pinned with the wrong accoutrement when I arrived for my wedding. It snuck into a few photos before the bouttoniere was found to replace it.
Emily arrived during the Robert Goulet remark and the ladies cooed appropriately over Adrian. I noticed that he was missing a sock and went back into the theater to find it. When I returned the old ladies were gone, but another woman had approached Emily.
"I was just telling your wife that I'd overheard the Robert Goulet comment. How could you be expected to know what he looked like when he was younger? Anyway, I was saying that you look like someone else entirely."
Ah, who will it be, I wonder. Robert the Bruce? That's one I've gotten before. I basically look like everyone with a goatee.
No, it was the one people offer up if they like me: Leonardo DiCaprio
However, I'd like to point out that I was rockin' the facial hair long before he was.
So, that's how my ego-inflating weekend was. I'm off to star in my next Hollywood blockbuster: Backpacking Dad Is On A Boat.
Although I'm changing my name to OLL Cool BPDBHLLRG. (Old Ladies Love Cool Backpacking Dad Because He Looks Like Robert Goulet)

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is often viewed as a "problem" or illness. It's not. Instead, PMS is a variety of responses to an ordinary event in women's lives: menstruation. PMS usually occurs monthly, accompanied with specific symptoms and signs that can appear seven to ten days before menstruation and then disappear after the onset of the menstrual flow. To better understand PMS, it is important to look at the whole picture.
Although PMS is due to unbalanced hormonal fluctuations, other factors such as stress, a nutritionally inadequate diet, lack of exercise and sleep, and a hectic or sedentary lifestyle can exacerbate the symptoms. Because most women exhibit as many as four to ten symptoms one to two weeks prior to menstruation, their lives—from relationships with family and friends, to work productivity and the ability to appreciate and take pleasure in their own bodies—may become diminished.
To make matters worse, women may be at increased risk for PMS if
- They are over 30 years old
- They are experiencing significant amounts of stress
- Their nutritional habits are poor
- They have suffered side effects from birth control pills
- They have difficulty maintaining a stable weight
- They do not get enough exercise
- They've had a pregnancy complicated by toxemia
- They have had children (the more children, the more severe the symptoms)
- They have a family history of depression
What to do about PMS
In treating PMS, Western medicine recommends diet and lifestyle changes coupled with medications that manipulate the levels of progesterone and estrogen (i.e. birth control pills), tranquilizers and/or antidepressants (for nervousness, anxiety and depression) that affect mood and emotions. Although prescription medications can sometimes bring immediate relief, they unfortunately do not address the underlying cause of PMS, and they can cause unwanted side effects that may mimic PMS symptoms.
A natural approach
In 1997, the National Institute of Health (NIH)1 issued a consensus report that suggested acupuncture is effective in the treatment of menstrual cramps, and other symptoms associated with PMS. Acupuncture can address PMS symptoms naturally, without medication, by restoring balance and harmony, both physically and emotionally. In Chinese medicine, the root cause of PMS is usually an imbalance or blockage of Qi, (pronounced "chee") or vital energy, and blood within specific organ and meridian systems. When Qi and blood become imbalanced or blocked, symptoms and signs associated with PMS will appear.
The role of an acupuncturist is to investigate the underlying causes leading to PMS symptoms. After a thorough diagnostic evaluation to determine what organ and meridian systems are out of balance, they treat PMS symptoms according to each individual patient's imbalances and concerns.
By inserting fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body, an acupuncturist is able to stimulate and activate the movement of Qi and blood. When Qi and blood begin to travel freely throughout the body, balance and normal function are restored and PMS symptoms are alleviated. Acupuncture restores hormonal balance and provides deep relaxation to help reduce stress, ultimately encouraging and supporting greater health and well-being of both body and mind.
A practitioner may also recommend lifestyle changes such as eating a nourishing, organic, whole foods diet, getting regular aerobic exercise and adequate sleep, enjoying warm baths, supplementing the diet with vitamins and herbs, and practicing deep relaxation exercises such as meditation, breathing exercises, or yoga.
Whether you suffer from PMS symptoms on an occasional or a monthly basis, acupuncture and Chinese medicine can offer a safe, natural and effective approach to alleviating these symptoms. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine may hold the key to a healthier, balanced, PMS-free life.

Infidelities of the Israelites. 1A messenger of the LORD went up from Gilgal to Bochim and said, I brought you up from Egypt and led you into the land which I promised on oath to your ancestors. I said, I will never break my covenant with you, 2but you must not make a covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you must pull down their altars.a But you did not listen to me. Look what you have done! 3For I also said,* I will not clear them out of your way; they will become traps for you, and their gods a snare for you.b
4When the messenger of the LORD had spoken these things to all the Israelites, the people wept aloud. 5They named that place Bochim,* and they offered sacrifice there to the LORD.
6c Then Joshua dismissed the people, and the Israelites went, each to their own heritage, to take possession of the land. 7The people served the LORD during the entire lifetime of Joshua, and of those elders who outlived Joshua and who had seen all the great work the LORD had done for Israel. 8Joshua, son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of a hundred and ten, 9and they buried him within the borders of his heritage at Timnath-heres in the mountain region of Ephraim north of Mount Gaash.d
10* When the rest of that generation were also gathered to their ancestors, and a later generation arose that did not know the LORD or the work he had done for Israel, 11e the Israelites did what was evil in the sight of the LORD. They served the Baals,* 12and abandoned the LORD, the God of their ancestors, the one who had brought them out of the land of Egypt. They followed other gods, the gods of the peoples around them, and bowed down to them, and provoked the LORD.
13Because they had abandoned the LORD and served Baal and the Astartes,* 14the anger of the LORD flared up against Israel, and he delivered them into the power of plunderers who despoiled them. He sold them into the power of the enemies around them, and they were no longer able to withstand their enemies. 15Whenever they marched out, the hand of the LORD turned against them, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn to them;f and they were in great distress. 16But the LORD raised up judges to save them from the power of their plunderers; 17but they did not listen to their judges either, for they prostituted themselves by following other gods, bowing down to them. They were quick to stray from the way their ancestors had taken, who obeyed the commandments of the LORD; but these did not. 18When the LORD raised up judges for them, he would be with the judge and save them from the power of their enemies as long as the judge lived. The LORD would change his mind when they groaned in their affliction under their oppressors. 19But when the judge died, they would again do worse than their ancestors, following other gods, serving and bowing down to them, relinquishing none of their evil practices or stubborn ways.g
20h The anger of the LORD flared up against Israel, and he said: Because this nation has transgressed my covenant, which I enjoined on their ancestors, and has not listened to me, 21I for my part will not clear away for them any more of the nations Joshua left when he died. 22i They will be made to test Israel, to see whether or not they will keep to the way of the LORD and continue in it as their ancestors did. 23Therefore the LORD allowed these nations to remain instead of expelling them immediately. He had not delivered them into the power of Joshua.
* [2:3] I also said: the Lord explicitly warned the Israelites of the consequences of disobedience; see Nm 33:55 and especially Jos 23:13.
* [2:5] Bochim: Hebrew for "weepers."
* [2:10–19] This long thematic passage establishes the cyclical pattern for the stories found in the rest of the book. When the Israelites are secure, they forsake the Lord and worship other gods. In punishment the Lord places them in the power of a foreign oppressor. But when they cry out in distress, the Lord takes pity on them and raises up a judge, who delivers them from the oppressor. The Israelites remain faithful to the Lord during the lifetime of the judge, but when the judge dies they again abandon the Lord, and the cycle begins anew.
* [2:11] The Baals: the title "Baal," meaning "lord" or "master," belonged to a large number of Canaanite, Phoenician, and Syrian deities, including especially the great storm god Hadad Baal, widely revered as lord of the earth. The plural form, which occurs here, was used by the biblical writers to refer to foreign gods in general.
* [2:13] The Astartes: Ashtoreth, or Astarte, was an important Canaanite and Phoenician goddess. The plural form used here probably refers to foreign goddesses in general.

Regular price $0.00How hard are freeskates to learn?
Freeskates are easier to learn than you'd think! With proper instruction, it's possible to be riding downhill and on flat in about 5 hours and conquering slight hills in around 15 hours (~1-2 weeks of consistent practice).
To put this in perspective, this is less time than it takes to learn juggling, unicycling, or how to ollie on a skateboard.
How can I learn?
Check out our all-in-one beginner learning page! Don't be shy about reaching out to us directly for help, or post in our community group on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/groups/USAFreeskaters/
What are JMKRIDE freeskates made of?
A complete set is comprised of wheels, bearings, trucks, decks, and grip tape.
- Our decks are painted aircraft-grade aluminum.
- Our trucks are painted high-strength steel.
- Our bearings are custom-made ABEC-7 quality rated with built-in spacers for added durability.
- Our wheels are 78a high quality PU, 73x43mm
center-set hub - Our grip tape is custom made for freeskates.
Any Assembly Required?
Yes, minor assembly is necessary. The skates are shipped partially assembled in a box. The decks must be attached using the included tool and the grip must be applied. See our assembly tutorial here: Assembly tutorial.
How can I connect with the community?
Join "USA Freeskaters" on Facebook. We try to approve requests same-day, but please reach out via messenger or email if there is an issue with this.
Don't be shy to ask for help! Everyone in the freeskate community loves to help share this fantastic sport, and everyone was in your shoes at one time. No one has ever hopped on freeskates and been able to just ride away.
Is there a weight limit?
We have a 300lb+ former MMA fighter and a 500lb+ TikToker use our skates. The steel truck and solid construction hold up very well to most weights, and we have not encountered any human weight limits yet.
What is the Return Policy?
Please see our page Returns and Exchanges.
When will my order ship?
Provided all necessary information submitted at the time of purchase, we will ship your skates next business day at the *latest. If there is any missing information, please notify us or we will reach out to you to resolve it.

LUMINEERS® are an excellent option for people who are unhappy with the cosmetic appearance of their teeth. These ultra-thin porcelain slips fit perfectly over the teeth making them look cosmetically perfect, white and completely beautiful. An off-white or crooked smile can cause serious confidence problems. LUMINEERS® are a fantastic alternative for patients wanting a beautiful smile without surgery, harsh chemicals or painful treatments.
For LUMINEERS® to be applied, the underlying teeth, bone and gums must be healthy. Patients with gum disease or tooth decay must be treated prior to LUMINEERS® placement. Unlike dental veneers, LUMINEERS® can be left in place for over 20 years or removed upon request to expose the intact original teeth. LUMINEERS® can be fitted in just two appointments, and instantly add pizzazz to the smile.
Here are some of the problems that LUMINEERS® can solve:
How can LUMINEERS® benefit me?
LUMINEERS® provide a wide range of advantages over similar treatments. The most meaningful advantage to anxious patients is that no painful alterations of the teeth are required prior to the LUMINEERS® application. The covers themselves are so thin and unobtrusive that speech and eating are seldom affected.
Here are some of the other advantages of LUMINEERS®:
Are LUMINEERS® strong enough?
LUMINEERS® are constructed from Cerinate® porcelain, which is known for its exceptional strength. Even though LUMINEERS® are thinner than dental veneers, they are less likely to break or chip. Additionally, Cerinate® porcelain can be color-modified and balanced. This means that different levels of opaqueness and translucency can be utilized.
How are LUMINEERS® applied to the teeth?
One of the main reasons LUMINEERS® are so easy to fit is that little etching has to be done beforehand. With veneers, many teeth might have to be permanently altered or drilled to ensure the best fit. However, LUMINEERS® offer a beautiful end product without any drilling, anesthesia or extensive etching. This factor alone can reduce the time in the dental chair by almost half, when compared to traditional veneers.
During the initial visit, bite impressions and X-rays are taken to determine the exact way the teeth fit together. The dentist also thoroughly examines the teeth to ensure that no tooth decay and no signs of gum disease are present. Together, the dentist and patient choose the color of the LUMINEERS® and the desired level of transparency. The bite impressions are sent to the laboratory to be custom-crafted.
The LUMINEERS® are bonded to the teeth at the second appointment. If bonding substance has oozed out from beneath the LUMINEERS®, this is carefully removed using a beveled featheredge margin. Once the LUMINEERS® are in place, the dentist polishes them until they are completely smooth. The advantage of this smoothness is that bacteria and staining agents cannot easily adhere to the surface of the LUMINEERS®.
The LUMINEERS® are finally separated. Up until this point, they are still attached where the bite impressions suggest teeth would naturally join. The treatment is finished, leaving a beautiful white smile, and perfect, healthy teeth.
If you have questions or concerns about LUMINEERS®, please ask your dentist.

As a Massachusetts or Connecticut investor, it is important you understand how to work with all kinds of buyers and sellers. In our latest post, we will examine investment styles for different generations of investors in Massachusetts or Connecticut and ways you can work with them!
As generations move through time, it's no surprise that there are different approaches taken when it comes to investments and real estate. Life experience changes rapidly from one generation to the next, and these life experiences have profound effects on the ways people handle their money. When you understand the motives and motivations for investment decisions, you will better be able to work with all buyers and sellers no matter their age or generation. Below, we have broken out the different generations, with basic information on investment styles. Of course, this information is very generic. True investment style varies person to person.
The Silent Generation
The Silent Generation consists of those born between 1928-1945. They are more likely to find what works for their money and keep it there. They don't diversify much but know a good deal when they see it. They don't like a lot of fluff and would rather be presented with the facts above all else.
Baby Boomers
Baby Boomers were born between the mid-1940's and the mid-1960's. Many have hit retirement age, which means they are collecting social security and possibly a pension. They are open to diversification but tend to have a larger focus on stocks as compared to other generations. Real estate is an excellent choice for Baby Boomers who want to put their money into a tangible investment with strong returns. Baby Boomers will likely work with an advisor or financial planner.
Generation X
Gen X'ers were born between the mid to late 1960's to the early 1980's. Of course, these numbers change depending on who you ask. Members of the Gen X club are currently raising families and thinking about college funds. They get less press than the generations before and after them, however, they are the ones currently in the position to make big investment moves. They are taking over top positions within companies as Baby Boomers leave the workforce, and many will see inheritance money from family members. As a Gen X'er, it is smart to diversify in both the stock market and real estate investments.
Born between the early 1980's and the mid to late 1990's. As investors, millennials are more likely to seek instant gratification as opposed to waiting for the long-term. They are more likely to use apps and online sources to make their investments. They love to learn, but take a less-personalized approach as compared to generations before them. Millennials love to add real estate to their portfolios and are changing the way properties are purchased and used. Many millennials have been hit hard by student and other debts, so when they have some cash on hand they tend to hold it close. As witness to the recession of the early 2000's, millennials might be a bit more cautious when it comes to their investment habits.
All investments come with risk. No matter what generation you are in, or who you are working with, it is always best to consult a financial planner or advisor for your big investment decisions. At Mass Property Buyers, we would love to help you buy or sell real estate in Massachusetts or Connecticut! As investors ourselves, we are here to help however we can!

Retro is a word usually bringing warm and fuzzy feelings of nostalgia. But for the more than 80 million cats living in North America, the word retro is anything but warm and fuzzy. Retroviruses like Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) can be devastating to your cat. More frightening, many cat owners are unaware of these two significant and very deadly feline diseases. Hidden from the body's defenses, retroviruses can remain dormant for months or even years. These viruses have RNA as their genetic material but share an ability to switch RNA into DNA, inserting DNA into the host's genome. Other retroviruses include HIV, the cause of human AIDS.
Like the AIDS virus, FeLV and FIV hinder the host's immune system, making the cat more susceptible to common infections. Feline Leukemia is associated with more illnesses and deaths of cats than any other infectious agent. Although not actually a cancer, it can cause several types of cancer in your cat. FeLV is considered a "social contact" disease generally spread through intimate contact between cats, such as grooming or sharing water bowls. Pregnant or nursing cats can pass the virus on to their kittens as well. Studies estimate the prevalence of FeLV in the United States at two to three percent of the cat population, meaning that 1.5 to 2.5 million cats carry and spread the virus.
The FIV virus is less prevalent but still may infect almost one million cats in North America. Typically spread by fighting, FIV virus is caused by bite wounds between unfriendly cats. However, It should be noted that neither disease is spread from cats to people.
Cats carrying either of these viruses may not show any signs of illness. In fact, due to the ability of these viruses to hide in the cat's cells, many cats can go years without any apparent symptoms. This can be a problem when new cats are introduced into the household, or if your cat ventures from home for a few days. The American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP) recommends testing cats routinely. Testing is considered the mainstay of preventing transmission of both diseases. Any sick cat should be tested, regardless of any negative results from previous testing.
Fortunately, there is good news. First, both of these viruses can't survive outside the body for long periods of time, making transmission from the environment unlikely. Second, it is possible for cats with either disease to live for many years. Finally, in some cases, vaccinations can help to prevent the spread of these diseases. Previous vaccine recommendations have reduced the incidence of FeLV and current guidelines promote testing and wellness protocols over indiscriminate vaccination. Although the AAFP highly recommends testing cats for both diseases prior to vaccination, the retrovirus vaccines should only be used in cats that are at risk for FeLV or FIV. Your veterinarian will help you make the right decision about the need to vaccinate your feline friend. You can see all the guidelines at www.catvets.com.
Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline AIDS (FIV)
- Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline AIDS (FIV) are two very serious diseases for cats.
- Both diseases disrupt the immune system, allowing other infections and even cancers to harm your cat.
- These viruses can hide in your cat's cells and avoid detection for months or years. Your cat may not ever show symptoms or signs.
- About 3-4 million cats, or 2-3% of the cat population in North America are infected with one or both of these diseases.
- FeLV is spread through mutual grooming and shared food/water bowls. It is most often seen in multi-cat households.
- FIV is most often spread through fighting and therefore is more likely to occur among outdoor cats.
- Neither disease can be transmitted to people. These viruses are related to the human AIDS virus, but they won't infect you.
- All cats should be tested for both diseases.
- Talk with your veterinariary staff about how to keep your cat safe and how to avoid risk factors.
