On View: February 14 - June 30, 2005
As a keen observer of nature, Jan Aronson captures the critical moment in which nature reveals itself. Her color-drenched landscapes, nature studies, and portraits offer a mid-career retrospective of her spiritual journey to convey the ineffability of the familiar and the mystery of the unknown.
"My paintings reflect my belief that while the forces of the universe are chaotic, they are also balanced," states Jan Aronson. "And while this balance is accomplished through powers I cannot explain, I am comfortable with the unknown. I would rather be involved in living and making paintings that comment on this mystery, rather than trying to define it. Capturing the movement of clouds, the organic shapes of decaying leaves; seeing moving water as a veil of gauze, or representing a landscape as a living breathing organic whole is my way of embracing the divine."
Aronson's landscapes and nature studies begin with a direct, unfiltered relationship with her subjects, intimately experienced through her treks to isolated sites of natural beauty around the world. Photographic documentation captures these visceral moments of discovery. These views of the earth, water, sky, and plant life are transformed in the studio through vigorous brushstroke, palette, and monumental scale into manifestations of emotional, psychological, and transcendent states of being. At the same time, Aronson's portraits reveal the vivid interior lives of her subjects and of herself, externalized through high-key color and pattern that capture the essence of the individual human condition.
These works invite the viewer toward a deeper understanding of the universal human experience and a vitalized perception of the natural beauty in the world around us. Aronson takes us on a journey into her world of wonder and discovery, and through her eyes, we are able to immerse ourselves in an unexpected encounter with creation.
Jan Aronson's work has been featured in more than thirty solo exhibitions, including the Jan Van der Togt Museum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands; United Nations, Geneva, Switzerland; Bayly Art Museum, University of Virginia; Makor Center, New York; Thomas J. Walsh Art Gallery, Quick Center for the Arts, Fairfield University, Fairfield, Connecticut; Anne Reed Gallery, Ketchum, Idaho; Mckissick Museum, University of South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina; University of New Orleans, New Orleans, Louisiana; Southern Vermont Art Center, Manchester, Vermont; Hahn

Aronson's numerous grants and awards include Stratton Arts Festival, Stratton, Vermont; Vermont Council on the Arts; and Regional Art Exhibition, Ferrisburg, Vermont.

EVERETT — Police again have arrested a Snohomish woman accused of raking in more than a $1 million by selling sex out of her bikini espresso stands.
The owner of Java Juggs and Twin Peaks espresso stands was booked into the county jail Thursday for investigation of witness tampering and intimidation.
The allegations are tied to the ongoing investigation into Carmela Panico's racy coffee stands. She and a former Snohomish County sheriff's sergeant were arrested in June after witnesses told detectives that Panico was using her coffee stands as drive-through brothels. Allegations also have surfaced that Panico, 51, laundered money through her businesses.
Darrell O'Neill, a 30-year veteran with the sheriff's office, was accused of tipping off Panico and her employees to ongoing police operations focused on the java huts, mainly located along Highway 99. Panico allegedly gave O'Neill sex in exchange for the inside information.
Video surveillance reportedly captured O'Neill frequently visiting the stands while he was on duty. He allegedly is seen hugging and kissing the coffee workers. O'Neill resigned in July.
No charges have been filed against him or Panico.
"This is an in-depth investigation and it's not fully complete," Everett police officer Aaron Snell said.
Thursday's arrest stems from allegations that Panico pressured potential witnesses not to cooperate with police and lie about being represented by an attorney, according to Everett police. Investigators allege that Panico singled out one witness, urging her to recant the statement she made to police.
Everett police say they have identified more than 100 current and past employees. Many have been interviewed by investigators.
Numerous search warrants show that Everett police also have been piecing together Panico's finances. Bank records documented Panico making dozens of large cash deposits since spring 2010, ranging from just over $10,000 to $66,000. Her bankers told police that the money often had a foul smell, and that Panico told them it was because "she maintained these denominations in her freezer at home with fish."
Panico bought seven coffee stands since 2008. She reported profits of more than $1 million out of her businesses. Baristas told investigators that they earned hundreds of thousands of dollars for work that didn't have anything to do with coffee.
FBI agents also have been involved in the case because of Panico's ties to Talents West.
For years the sex-oriented entertainment business was operated by the Seattle-based Colacurcio crime family. The Colacurcios formerly owned Honey's north of Lynnwood, one of several nude nightclubs they operated before being forced to close in 2010 as part of a federal prosecution.
Detectives allege that Panico, a former nude dancer, knew her employees were engaged in prostitution at the stands and off site.
Panico was prosecuted in the past for lewd acts at her coffee stands. Edmonds police arrested her in 2011 for providing customers sexually explicit shows in exchange for cash. Her sentence in that case was suspended.
Panico sued Everett and the city's police chief in July, alleging that officers wrongfully seized a quarter of a million dollars and her 2012 Ford Expedition.
The lawsuit was filed after the city officials notified Panico that they planned to keep the cash, saying that it was proceeds from criminal activity, including money laundering. Detectives allege that Panico is "living a lavish lifestyle" financed through "organized crime."
Panico's lawyer filed a motion putting the lawsuit on hold, citing the ongoing criminal investigation.

Fabric trends see modern takes on familiar textiles
If you're looking to update your upholstery, curtains, pillows or what have you, look no further. Here are the fabrics that are trending.
Chintz, which invaded homes in the '80s along with VCRs and the sounds of Madonna, is making somewhat of a comeback. So are stripes -- not that they ever really went out. And remember all those ethnic fabrics from your hippie days? Well, maybe you don't. But they were everywhere then, and now.
It's not your grandmother's chintz. Today's printed cotton doesn't have the slick glaze or the fogy floral prints like those for which interior decorator Mario Buatta became noted. Instead, they're clean and crisp.
"After 'Downton Abbey,' everyone is very interested again in English, pretty decor," says Albert Sardelli, vice president of design at upscale fabric house Scalamandre, which began life in Long Island City, and though it operates a Manhattan showroom, is headquartered in Hauppauge. With this in mind, he set out to design chintzes that would be "relevant" for today's interiors -- "a little bit dressy," while casual at the same time. It's all about striking a balance. "People are going to want to sit down in a chair without worrying about hurting it," he says. His mandate was to get away from the polished cotton that mocks the look of silk. What he wound up with was a reinterpretation of the material that has more clarity of color and freshness. Other makers are doing similar fabrics.
His mission, Sardelli says, is "to broaden" the firm's offerings by introducing what he calls "humble fabrics" as well as those that "perform well." In the company's most recent collection, collaborated on with renowned designer Kathryn Ireland, who appears on Bravo TV's "Million Dollar Decorator," it created fabrics with just cotton and linen. "Relaxed and casual -- it's a different look for Scalamandre. People are living in their homes, not just showing them off," he says.
After all, why would a firm such as Scalamandre, which has been noted for nearly a century for its silks, want its chintz to mimic that queen of fabrics when its silk lampas, silk lisere and silk brocades are considered among the best in the world?
Alice Guercio, vice president of product coordination at Kravet, a mid- to high-end fabric and furnishings manufacturer with offices in Bethpage, says she believes linen and linen blends are now a "must."
"We're living casually," she says. "But we want a formal look in a livable space, comfortable rather than stiff." Textures are big right now, including chenille, but it's less heavy than it has been.
Ethnic fabrics have been around for a couple of years, but they are trending big time now, even in the apparel world, where they can be found in everything from tunics to tees. Handmade cloth by traditional cultures, ikats (dyed with elaborate, multicolored patterns) and suzanis (from Central Asia, embroidered in mostly botanical motifs) are especially popular.
"They've almost become mainstream the way that traditional used to be," says Guercio, who likens them to the "new stripe" in that they fit into any decor. What gives Kravet's versions a contemporary edge is their fashion-forward colors, such as bright pink.
Accents et Details, a design store in Locust Valley run by interior designers Lisa Simek and Catherine Schweber, carries a line of ikat pillows, hand-woven and dyed in Uzbekistan and made in Turkey, with patterns of "multicolor zigzags or dots relating to their culture," says Simek. "These are authentic, as they are not designed for the export market." Three sizes, starting at $300, also are available at English Country Antiques in Bridgehampton and Southampton.
Stripes never go out of style, says Serena Dugan, co-founder of Serena & Lily, a Sausalito, Calif., online catalog of home decor that opened its only brick and mortar location in Wainscott in May. "They're classic and guaranteed to never get tired," she says, adding that they coordinate with nearly all other patterns.
The company's bold black-and-white-striped outdoor chairs contrast handsomely with the company's original "Montauk" pattern, based on a classic ogee (a design element used in decorative molding), which they gave a graphic look by applying a tight pattern in bright colors. It is available on Serena & Lily's butterfly and swing chairs.
For outdoor furniture, ikat "invokes that island feeling," says Monica Letterman, design project manager at Ethan Allen in Garden City. Ditto for batik, an Indonesian wax-resistant dye technique with leafy and floral motifs. Natural dyes are predominately used, in indigos and brown "to tie into nature, whether the sky and water or earth and tree bark," she says.
As neutrals fade out, color is coming in strong. "We're using lots of jewel tones," says Simek. "Sapphire blue, emerald green, amethyst purple." Scalandre's Sardelli remarks on all the purple he's seeing right now, as he walks up Third Avenue and looks in retail shops. "It's been so absent, that now if feels fresh." On the color wheel, he explains, when one color is "happening," its opposite is also present. "So we're seeing a lot of yellow, too."
Perhaps the most prominent color to be trending is green, not the citrusy greens of yesteryear, but cooler, bluer greens. Says Kravet's Guercia: Blue is gaining momentum -- spa blue with its "soft, tranquil and soothing" feel, and slate blue, which has chameleon characteristics, seemingly more gray or blue, depending of what other colors you pair it with.
While she observes that sofas or walls remain neutral (cream and beige, and the new neutral, gray), accessories are adding pops of color throughout the room.
Suzani cloth is decorated with images from nature: flowers, leaves and vines, moon discs, and fruits, especially pomegranates. Coral is another motif seen a lot lately.
Animal-skin patterns also are becoming hot. Shagreen (stingray), snakeskin and lizard patterns in bright colors are particularly in vogue, printed or embossed to resemble the creature's texture. Shiny, bright leather -- embossed or metallic -- also is being used as trim on upholstery, says Simek.
NoliHahn Interiors and Textiles, both a design firm and a retail showroom in Cold Spring Harbor, is introducing its first major fabric collection this fall under the name Noli Textiles, spearheaded by one of the firm's two partners, Susan Calabria, formerly of such upscale fabric manufacturers as Schumacher, where she was director of printed fabrics, and Scalamandre, where she was creative director. Her partner is interior designer Brian Hahn.
One of the fabrics in the upcoming collection is based on an 18th century damask "modernized for a new generation." Historically made in silk, their damask has been reinterpreted for today's market in a beautiful chenille cotton yarn, which gives it a more relaxed look, yet is still elegant. The fabric, traditionally colored in deeply saturated merlots, navy blues and golden ochres, has been replaced by neutrals -- soft greens, airy blues, mocha, and platinum -- making them equally at home in either a luxurious or casual setting. Though they are mainly sold wholesale to designers in several showrooms across the country, the fabrics can be purchased retail through the NoliHahn Interiors showroom, starting at $90 a yard.

California Wine, Santa Cruz Mountain
About David Bruce Vineyard Wines
David Bruce Winery has earned an international reputation throughout its nearly four decades for its dedication to producing the greatest pinot noir in the world. In pursuit of this goal, the David Bruce Winery has adhered to traditional European winemaking practices that trace their lineage back to the early pioneers of winemaking in the Santa Cruz Mountains and Santa Clara Valley. David Bruce Winery has also been at the forefront of efforts to develop innovative new methods that have changed the face of winemaking in California.
David Bruce Winery 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon
Once one of California's prominent winegrowing regions,years of urban expansion forced many growers out of the Santa Clara Valley. Fine vineyards remain however,in the foothills of our Santa Cruz Mountains where this wine was born. We begin with small, open top fermentations,emphasize gentle handling,and bottle without fining or filtration. This wine exhibits forward dark cherry and berry tinged with hints of ripe loganberry. Rosemary,pepper and cedar accent the fruit without overpowering it,and the palate is rich and supple with ample gut balanced tannins. While drinking well now,this wine should reward aging for a few years in a proper cellar.
David Bruce Winery 2001 Chardonnay
This wine brings together fruit from three different vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains - our own Estate, R bar R Ranch and Split Rail Vineyards. While within the same appellation, each site lends it's own unique character to the blend. The Estate component comprises all of our late vineyard picks and thus accentuates ripe tropical fruits. Split Rail, several miles from David Bruce, lends earthiness and a light, smokey complexity to the wine. R bar R Ranch, one of the coolest sites we work with, produces a wine with bright citrus fruits and lively acidity, providing freshness and structure for the blend. The finished wine strikes a nice balance between richness and freshness, with far greater complexity that any of its parts.
David Bruce Winery 2000 Petite Syrah
We have made more petite syrah from this vineyard over the last two decades than any other,and continue to marvel at the consistency and quality it displays. With a signature of blueberries in the nose,and hints of spices and mint beneath, the wine manages to be both powerful and refined. We limit the extraction of tannin to keep the palate soft and approachable making it quite pleasant in its youth. The wide array of flavors match with foods that might overwhelm a simpler wine, but expect it to surprise you with versatility and pair with lighter meals just as well as hearty ones. The supple texture and balance in the wine should allow aging for up to five years.We also think it drinks extremely well now.
David Bruce Winery 2000 Pinot Noir
This wine follows in the footsteps of our very successful 1999 bottling from the Truchard vineyard,and if anything sets the standard for quality higher still. The 2000 vintage gave us ideal ripening conditions without waves of heat pushing sugars up faster than flavors in the grape could mature. The resulting wine displays rich dark cherry aromas accented with notes of violets and spice, supported by toast and faint smoke from the barrel. In the mouth the wine is beautifully integrated, with oak supporting rather than dominating,and fruit lingering well into the finish. With a combination of balance, suppleness, and concentrated fruit flavors, this wine should age gracefully for the next five years.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Gold is started the week higher Monday as uncertainty deepened over Europe's financial crisis.
Gold for December delivery rose $35, or 2 percent, to settle at $1,791.10 per ounce.
The price of gold often rises during times of financial uncertainty. Investors see the precious metal as a safe store of value and tend to turn to it instead of currencies or stocks when they're fearful. On Monday, doubts about Europe were stoked again as financial officials gathered in Brussels for urgent talks on how to ease the continent's debt crisis.
At the same time, political instability continued to roil Greece. The two main parties in that country were still trying to form an interim government that could impose austerity measures needed to avoid default.
Copper prices fell on pessimism about the economy and the housing market. Copper is used as a raw material in everything from electronics to new housing construction, so its price is closely tied with economic growth.
Fitch Ratings released a report that U.S. foreclosure rates have almost doubled from this time last year. Fitch said U.S. housing prices will probably fall another 10 percent before stabilizing. If that happens, it could hinder the construction industry and depress demand for copper.
Copper for December delivery fell 2.9 cents, or nearly 1 percent, to close at $3.5355 per pound.
Other metals were higher. December silver rose 7.44 cents, or 2 percent, to close at $34.828 an ounce. December palladium rose $6.60, or 1 percent, to close at $661.90 an ounce. January platinum gained $28.70 to finish at $1,658 an ounce.
Crop prices were down, with the exception of wheat. December wheat gained 2 cents to finish at $6.3875 per bushel. December corn fell 2.5 cents to end at $6.5325 per bushel. November soybeans lost 19.25 cents to finish at $12.0175 a bushel.
Benchmark crude oil gained $1.26, or more than 1 percent, to end at $95.52 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Heating oil rose 4.91 cents to finish at $3.1198 per gallon, gasoline futures rose 6.48 cents to close at $2.7282 per gallon and natural gas lost 8.9 cents to close at $3.803 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Debate heats up whether financial speculation is spiking food prices and spelling disaster for millions of poor people.
Financial investors betting on the price of food are dangerously driving up prices, threatening millions of impoverished people in food-importing countries who will go hungry, critics warn.
But the issue of food speculation by banks, hedge and pension funds is a controversial one, and many observers say there is no evidence that gambling on food causes price increases and volatility.
Opponents are demanding that G-20 leaders take urgent action to halt agriculture commodity speculation, after summer drought ravaged US corn crops, and lower-than-expected wheat yields in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan.
Activists say while nothing can be done about the effects of drought devastation on prices, the trade of agricultural financial products can – and must – be immediately halted.
About one billion people around the globe already go hungry. It is predicted the number will jump by 53 million by the end of 2012, according to the UN World Food Programme.
Countries in the Middle East and north and sub-Saharan Africa are most vulnerable to the latest global food-price spike, the third in five years. Some analysts are warning food riots – similar to those that erupted in 2008 and 2010 – could be on the horizon.
In just one year, maize prices have jumped by 174 per cent in Malawi and 129 per cent in Mozambique. Wheat prices have surged 52 per cent in Sudan since July 2011, according to the World Bank.
Financial speculation is "among the various drivers of increased price levels and volatility", according to a recent release by three UN agencies.
G-20 officials are discussing the issue and could call an emergency meeting to try to head off a potential global food crisis.
But some are sceptical any real action will be taken. If an emergency meeting is called, expect "nothing from the G-20 on financial speculation", Simon Evenett, professor of international trade at the University of St Gallen, Switzerland, told Al Jazeera.
France's Agriculture and Food Minister Stephane Le Foll has blamed skyrocketing prices partly on excessive food speculation. He urged taxation of financial transactions and "position limits" – which cap the amount speculators are allowed to invest.
"There have been transfers, speculators leaving other markets to come to food markets. We need to stop this," Le Foll recently told French television.
Others sceptical
While some point a finger directly at agriculture speculation as playing a significant role in food-price spikes, others deny any such link.
"At most, financial speculation has been a minor aggravating factor," Evenett said.
Peter Schiff, an economist and CEO of Euro Pacific Capital, said agricultural trading does not affect prices, and halting the practice could compound the problem.
"If you took all the speculators out of the market, the prices might even be higher," Schiff told Al Jazeera's Inside Story.
Shenggen Fan, director general of the International Food Policy Research Institute, said "the evidence so far is inconclusive", when asked if speculation was driving up prices.
But others contend with ample food supplies over the past few years, the volatility and price surges cannot be explained by supply and demand alone.
Using a complex computer model that identifies global trends, scientists at the New England Complex Systems Institute say they have pinpointed speculation as a key culprit in rising food prices and volatility in recent years.
The institute's professor Yaneer Bar-Yam said drought, the use of vast amounts of corn for ethanol, and "rampant" commodity speculation threaten an immediate and "massive price shock".
Meanwhile, several major investment banks have quietly stopped such trading.
Germany's Commerzbank, Landesbank Baden-Württemberg, and Dekabank halted offering investment funds linked to basic food commodities. Austria's Volksbanken recently followed suit.
Inside Story: Are we heading for a global food crisis?
The motivation for stopping the betting on food is unclear. When asked why, only Commerzbank responded. "We decline to comment on the reason for our decision," said Claire Tappenden from corporate communications.
Christine Haigh from the World Development Movement told Al Jazeera the banks' move was cosmetic, and could be reversed any time when the controversy cools down.
"It's more of a PR exercise than real concern over commodity prices. It's smart for them to say we're going to pull out," Haigh said.
How it works
Commodities speculators don't actually buy any physical goods. They purchase "futures contracts", or similar financial instruments, that allow farmers to agree on a guaranteed price with a buyer for their next harvest well in advance – a kind of insurance policy against price fluctuations and poor harvests.
For their part, speculators aim to make money by buying and holding on to the futures contracts, seeking to profit from changing prices. Proponents say speculation brings much-needed liquidity into the market and stabilises it.
Food speculation was previously done by small farmers and a limited number of traders. But after financial deregulation by governments in the United States and Europe in the 1990s, large investment firms and hedge funds jumped in.
"Markets don't have morals … Markets care about people's ability to pay for food, not their need for it."
– Christine Haigh, World Development Movement
The portion of speculative trading on commodity futures has surged from about 30 per cent in 2000 to 80 per cent today, according to German NGO foodwatch. In cash terms, the amount of investment has nearly doubled from $65bn to $126bn over the past five years.
Critics argue excessive commodity speculation over the past decade has raised prices, without reflecting supply and demand for actual food.
If futures contracts prices are high, then the price of physical commodities also rises, says the World Development Movement.
In an 88-page report titled "The Hunger-Makers", foodwatch said traditional speculators were influenced by supply-and-demand factors, but today's financiers are not.
"They continuously buy over a longer period of time without selling. This artificially raises futures contracts prices, and effectively hikes spot prices, or the cost of actual food, as well."
Starvation as 'opportunity'
The poor are the most vulnerable to food price hikes in countries that rely on imports. Even a 1 per cent jump means 16 million people are plunged into poverty, according to Oxfam.
"Even very modest price increases can be a matter of life or death in countries where families spend up to 80 per cent of their income for food," foodwatch's report said.
With prices skyrocketing, opponents of food speculation say making money off people's misery is morally reprehensible.
Chris Mahoney, agriculture director for commodity trader Glencore, recently told reporters the US drought would be good for business. "High prices, a lot of volatility, a lot of dislocation, tightness, a lot of arbitrage opportunities," said Mahoney.
Attitudes such as these define the core problem with food today, said Haigh. Corporate control over the global food system needs to stop, she said.
"Markets don't have morals," Haigh said. "The fundamental issue is markets care about people's ability to pay for food, not their need for it. We need to radically reform these power dynamics."

The key to keeping a bright, healthy smile throughout adulthood is to practice proper oral hygiene. Adults can get cavities, as well as gum disease that can lead to serious problems. Throughout your adult life, it's important to continue to:
Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste to remove dental plaque – the sticky film on your teeth that's the main cause of tooth decay and inflammation of the gums, called gingivitis.
Floss daily to remove plaque from between your teeth and under your gum line, before it can harden into tartar. Once tartar has formed, it can only be removed by a dental hygienist during a professional cleaning.
Limit sugary or starchy foods, especially sticky snacks. The more often you snack between meals, the more chances you give bacteria to create the acids that attack your tooth enamel.
Visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and checkups.

As we get older, staying healthy becomes more and more important. This is especially true for our oral health, because we're at risk for dental problems we didn't have to deal with when we were teenagers. Dental care for adults is crucial, and some examples may make you think twice before you cancel your next dental checkup.
Here are a few of the conditions to be aware of, and to discuss with your dentist during your annual checkups:
Periodontal Disease
After age 35, patients lose more teeth to periodontal disease than to tooth decay. If your home care routine of brushing and flossing has slipped and you have skipped your regular dental cleanings, bacterial plaque and tartar can build up on your teeth. The plaque and tartar, if left untreated, may eventually cause irreparable damage to your jawbone and support structures. Teeth will start to loosen, and if this is allowed to progress, you could require periodontal surgery, or may even suffer tooth loss. The good news is that this is a preventable.
Oral Cancer
According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, men over the age of 40 have the greatest risk for oral cancer. About approximately 43,000 people will be diagnosed with cancer of the mouth, tongue or throat area, and the ACS estimates that about 7,000 people will die from these cancers. The use of tobacco products and alcohol increases the risk of oral cancer. Most oral cancers are first diagnosed by the dentist during a routine checkup.2
Dental Fillings Break Down
Dental fillings have a life expectancy of eight to 10 years. However, they can last 20 years or longer. When the fillings in your mouth start to break down, food and bacteria can get underneath them. When this happens, decay can go deep into your tooth, affect the nerve and possibly necessitate root canal treatment. If the tooth structure breaks down along with the filling, your only option may be to have a full crown and root canal treatment to restore your tooth.
Temporomandibular Joint Disorders
Bite irregularities and oral habits, such as grinding teeth, can lead to painful temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD). Many things can cause your bite to shift slightly, but having teeth extracted can cause the teeth in your mouth to shift position significantly and alter bite. After time, the joints that are responsible for the movement of your jaw can be affected and cause pain and locking of your jaw. This is one reason for the importance of dental implants.
If you grind your teeth when you sleep, your dentist can make you a night guard. This appliance takes the stress off your joints. It also helps you stop grinding, which can wear down the enamel on your teeth.
Female Patients
Women have special oral health requirements during the unique phases in their lives. Changes in female hormone levels during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy and menopause exaggerate the way gums react to plaque. So at these times, women need to be especially thorough when brushing and flossing every day to prevent gum disease.
Other important information you should know:
Some women find that their gums swell, may be sensitive and bleed prior to their periods, while others experience cold sores or canker sores. These symptoms usually go away once your period starts and stress is lessened.
Oral contraceptive
Gingivitis, inflammation of the gums, is one of the most common side effects of the use of oral contraceptives.
Studies show that many pregnant women experience pregnancy gingivitis, when dental plaque repeatedly builds up on the teeth and irritates the gum line. Symptoms include red, inflamed and bleeding gums. Prenatal care is especially important to keep the mouth healthy.
Oral symptoms experienced during this stage of a woman's life include red or inflamed gums, oral pain and discomfort, burning sensation, altered taste sensations in the mouth, and dry mouth.
A number of studies have suggested a link between osteoporosis and bone loss in the jaw. Researchers suggest this may lead to tooth loss because the density of the bone that supports teeth may be decreased. When combined with gum disease, osteoporosis speeds up the process of bone loss around the teeth.

Preventive maintenance and dental care for adults are as important now as they were just a few years ago. As an adult, you are not immune to dental problems. In addition to maintaining a good home care routine, the best thing you can do is to schedule regular dental checkups and professional cleanings. Your dentist can closely monitor your oral health and take care of problems before they increase in severity. Remember the words once said by a very wise man: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
You also have a variety of cosmetic options available, including orthodontics (braces), whitening (both in-office and at-home) and bonding (veneers). Talk to your dentist about the different procedures to see which may be best for you.

Took our '16 SV up to Mt Evans yesterday. The Trip planners (Green Race 5 and evtripplaner.com) said we would make it on one charge, but it would be close. The Nissan Web trip planner has a bug and kind of craps out half way up the mountain.
So we left yesterday at 8:30 with 27.4Kwh on the battery. We being my wife and three kids. We live by City Park. Never went above 60 going there, AC off, fan on, stereo on, ECO mode, and in B-mode. Temps were in the seventies when we left.
Stopped and had breakfast @ Idaho Springs and used Beau Jo's charger to add 8Kwh to the battery.
Made to the top with no problem with 8.9Kwh on the battery. It was a pretty day and it was crowded.
On the way down we stopped at Echo Lake and did a couple mile hike to the Idaho Springs Reservoir. We arrived again in Idaho Springs with 16Kwh, regenning 7.1 Kwh. Pretty cool.
So the upshot is we could have probably made it without charging, but it would have been close. The Green Race 5 planner came closest to accurately projecting the trip's energy usage.

Last night's Basketball Wives marked the fourth straight episode of Evelyn Lozada crying over Chad Johnson, and Tami Roman trying her darndest to start something with Shaunie O'Neal despite her positive life changes. It was also the fourth straight episode of Tasha Marbury staying above the drama and Suzie Ketcham talking out of both sides of her mouth (only this time, she's not gossiping, she's just finally healing from her jaw surgery!).
We started back in Evelyn's counseling session. Her therapist encourages her to figure out what she would do if there were no kids, media, or feminist groups involved. Again, I'm sorry…why are all of these people trying to get her back together with a head-butter? We all know that the head-butting incident wasn't isolated. I'm not saying that he was violent towards her multiple times, but their relationship was broken by both of them long before they walked down the aisle. The therapist wants to know what are the wonderful things about Chad that the public doesn't know. Is that you, Mrs. .
Ochocinco Johnson? Seriously? With a glass of wine and dose of common sense, I'm more of a therapist than this lady.

Some things get better with age, and that's especially true for the Houston Shakespeare Festival (HSF). This year, the Bayou City's oldest celebration of the Bard becomes bigger with national guest artists, pre-show festivities and a two-week workshop for high school students.
For 36 years, the University of Houston and Miller Outdoor Theatre have partnered to deliver free performances of Shakespeare plays. Just as the community has evolved through the years, so must HSF, said Steve Wallace, director of UH's School of Theatre & Dance (SOTD).
"This year we are adding significant new components to our offerings," Wallace said. "These include two nationally recognized guest artists, the Houston Shakespeare Summer Conservatory, and the HSF Cultural Festival at Miller Outdoor Theatre. The HSF Cultural Festival will showcase pre-show entertainers, educational activities and lectures for the family. We're also streamlining our mission as a professional project of UH by offering more students opportunities to be involved in a professional summer stock atmosphere."
This year's festival will include free performances of "Othello, the Moor of Venice" (starring Seth Gilliam and directed by Leah Gardiner) and "Taming of the Shrew." All performances are at 8:30 p.m. at Miller Outdoor Theatre. Performance dates are as follows.
- "Othello" - July 29, 31, Aug. 2, 4, and 6
- "Taming of the Shrew" - July 30, August 3, 5, and 7
Gilliam has starred in critically acclaimed HBO series "Oz" and "The Wire." He also has appeared in films such as "Starship Troopers" and "Courage Under Fire." He also has appeared in television series such as Showtime's "Nurse Jackie" and "Law and Order." Last year, Gilliam performed as the title character in "Othello, the Moor of Venice" during the Commonwealth Shakespeare Festival in Boston.
A graduate of Yale University's drama school, Gardiner is a leading director on regional and university stages. She's helmed plays for events such as the New York Shakespeare Festival and Oregon Shakespeare Festival and has contributed her talents to productions on both coasts. Credits include the national tour of "Wit," which included performances at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., "Angels in America, parts I and II" for Connecticut Repertory Theatre, "A Streetcar Named Desire" for Pillsbury House Theatre in Minneapolis, Minn. and "Intimate Apparel" at the Julliard School in New York.
"Seth has agreed to play the lead role in 'Othello, the Moor of Venice.' Leah will direct him and a talented cast that includes a mix of professional Equity actors and graduate students from the SOTD," Wallace said. "Having these talented, well-known artists participating in HSF helps us to continue to diversify our audience and demystify the perceived inaccessibility of Shakespeare's works to a younger audience."
This year's festival also will mark the inaugural season for the HSF Summer Conservatory for Texas high school students. This two-week workshop will provide them with intensive training in acting, voice and movement. Instructors include professionals who have worked on Broadway, television and regional stage productions. As part of the conservatory, students will have the unique opportunity to actually perform at HSF. To learn more about the HSF Summer Conservatory and how students can register, visit its website.
"HSF is the perfect teaching vehicle for high school students who are planning to make their careers in the arts field," Wallace said. "They are working with people from the profession and are participating in all aspects of the Festival. The students will also get a sense of the work and dedication that will be required of them should they go on to college. The Conservatory is not just about the performances at the festival. Students will study with our guest artists, acting company, directors and dramaturgs."
Since 1975, the Houston Shakespeare Festival has attracted thousands of Houstonians to Miller Outdoor Theatre for free performances of the Bard's timeless classics. HSF productions have featured rising talents and esteemed stage veterans. Among the master thespians who have participated in HSF was Oscar-nominated actor Dan O'Herlihy, who played the title role in the festival's production of "King Lear." Regional star Ken Ruta also contributed his talents to HSF, starring as Prospero in "The Tempest."

Priority: Rannoch
It is imperative that you complete the Side Missions Rannoch: Admiral Koris and Rannoch: Geth Fighter Squadrons before completing this mission you will no longer be able to later, and it will have consequences for resolving the Geth/Quarian conflict.
If you complete the two Side Missions on Rannoch, you can invite Tali to your quarters before Priority: Rannoch and you can get the Energy Drain Bonus Power as well.
For this mission, head to the Perseus Veil and then to Rannoch in the Tikkun system.
Recommended Loadout and Squad
Mission Enemies
After the opening cutscenes (which you can score some Reputation points from), you will touch down on top of a steep slope. Send your Squad to one side and remain on the other. Stay in cover and snipe the many Geth Troopers below. There are no surprises here.
- SMG High Caliber Barrel - At the very bottom of the slope is a closed door with this Weapon Modification right in front of it.
The way into the facility is a series of ledges and a ladder along the building perimeter at the bottom of the hill. Some ammo can be found on this ledge.
Send your team up one ladder and then use the other to flank the Geth Rocket Troopers.
- Assault Rifle Piercing Mod - Climb the ladders to get into the facility and stay to the right. Leap across the gap at the top to get this mod.
- Kassa Fabrication Gauntlets - This is near the Weapon Mod just across a second gap.
Climb the ladder where you encountered the Rocket Troopers. At the top you can gather ammo and clamber onto some pipes to proceed upwards.
In the next area, Geth will appear above and below you. The upper path is safer, but if you have Sabotage, hack a group of Rocket Troopers on the lower path and let them take out everyone in proximity while you back them up.
Enter the green panel door at the end of the two-tiered hallway.
- Reaper Tech (Credits) - Salvage this panel to the right just as you enter the green panel door.
- SMG Ultralight Materials - One Geth stands between you and this mod as you enter the catwalks past the green door. Turn left at the fork where the Assault Trooper appeared to get it at the bottom of some stairs.
There are numerous Geth Troopers in the next corridor. Stay in cover and snipe them -- Sabotage can capture entire groups of enemies and turn them to your side temporarily here since the area is so cramped.
- Assault Rifle Stability Damper - On the right side of the corridor with the many Geth is a Weapon Mod.
Geth will now appear across a chasm. Deal with the Rocket Troopers first.
- Geth Plasma Shotgun - At the end of the corridor, just before the green panel door, is a weapon.
- Data (Credits) - Salvage the data by the Shotgun for Credits.
- Data (Credits) - Just on the other side of the door is a another Data terminal you can salvage.
- Med Kit - On the other side of the door is a Medkit.
In the next area, your waypoint shows an Override console. Clear the room of Geth first (stay near where you entered so you don't get flanked).
After hitting the console you will have to survive a wave of Geth Rocket Troopers and Geth Pyros. The Pyros are, somewhat ironically, very susceptible to fire. After hitting a second console, a Geth Prime will arrive with two Rocket Troopers. Try to catch them all with Sabotage in the shaft or a barrage of grenades.
- Med Kit - Search the for a Med Kit by an elevator shaft.
At the top of the elevator you will face 3 Geth Primes in a relatively small area. Luckily, there are 3 Geth Spitfire heavy weapons in the area, one right near the entrance, one by a door on the left side, and one on some crates on the right side.
These will not completely solve your Geth problem, but combined with Sabotage or explosives to stop the Primes from moving in, the Spitfires can be a big help. Note that there are Geth Turrets in the middle of the room, so as you move about, stay in cover or take them out.
Walk to the edge of the outer area. Stand on a ledge here to initiate a cutscene. After this you will have a targeting laser equipped that will call the Normandy for an orbital strike.
Your target for this is NOT the "Base" marked in the distance, but an open blast door below the ledge you are standing on. Aim from the ledge down at the ring of blue below and hold the FIRE button to summon an orbital strike.
The Reaper Boss
Unfortunately, your target was a dormant Reaper, which is now awake. Sprint to the left around the Reaper to escape its death ray and initiate a cutscene.
You now have to fight a Reaper head-on. Immediately lock on and hold FIRE to hit it once with an orbital strike.
The problem with this fight is that you MUST stop to focus the orbital strike beacon (which you activate by holding the FIRE button), but you have to move often to avoid the Reaper's laser.
Note that you can roll to avoid the laser mid-focus and pick up focusing the orbital strike afterwards. The easiest approach to this battle relies on one characteristic of the Reaper's firing pattern: If you are moving when the Reaper begins to fire, the Reaper's laser attempts to track you and does not react to a change of direction immediately.
Between the Reaper's laser blasts, position yourself centrally(-ish) and be rolling in one direction when the Reaper begins to fire. As soon as the laser fires, reverse direction. Keep the trigger pressed the whole time and tweak your aim as required.
There are four strikes required, including the first, and each time the Reaper comes closer. After making the last strike, you will enter a slow-motion scene to engage your final shot. Just point, focus and watch the fireworks.
THE Geth vs. THE Quarians
You now have to choose between the warring Quarian and Geth factions. You will get support of one fleet or the other. More importantly, one character will die UNLESS you have imported a Mass Effect 2 save (see below). Note that Paragon and Renegade options here are reversed, or just completely ignored -- it's a complex issue!
- Side with the Geth and the Geth will destroy the Quarians, and Tali will kill herself.
- Side with the Quarians and Tali will kill Legion (or the Geth VI will die).
Peace between Geth and Quarians
If you meet the following (mainly Paragon Mass Effect 2) conditions, AND have four bars of Reputation, then you can choose the Paragon (blue) option in the dialogue and resolve the Geth/Quarian conflict peacefully.
- Have both Tali and Legion alive from an imported Mass Effect 2 save.
- Prevented Tali's Exile in Mass Effect 2
- Resolved the Tali/Legion conflict in Mass Effect 2
- Completed Rannoch: Geth Fighter Squadrons
- Completed Rannoch: Admiral Koris, and saved Admiral Koris
- First side with Tali. When Legion pleads with you to reconsider, you will have both a Paragon and Renegade option. Picking Paragon will restore peace between the two sides.
- You can also side with Legion first and tell him to upload the code. When Tali says that the quarian will be wiped out, the same Paragon and Renegade options will appear. Pick Paragon for peace.
Post-Mission Wrap-Up
- You will get 25000 Credits

- You can now complete the Diana Allers romance sequence by inviting her to your quarters for an interview about the Geth/Quarians (check your private terminal).
- Tali is in Engineering. Talk to her for Reputation points.
- If you destroyed the Geth, your choice will have an emotional impact on Edi, check in with her and Joker after this mission for a quick talk.
