Saltcoats is situated only 27 km from the thriving city of Yorkton and due to the picturesque setting of Anderson Lake has earned the title The Laketown of Saskatchewan.
Saltcoats offers residents of the town and RM an ice rink, curling rink, library, community hall, daycare, and a senior's care home. There is a hotel, restaurant with bed and breakfast, credit union, liquor outlet, two antique stores, auto repair, and hardware and appliance store.
An elementary school from Kindergarten to Grade 8 welcomes children from Saltcoats, Bredenbury and many rural students from the area, as well as a playschool for children 3-4 years old. Our location makes access to all the Yorkton amenities and shopping very convenient.
Points of interest include:
Gunn Park and Saltcoats War Memorial
This park on the lake is dedicated to George Gunn, a former mayor and councilor of Saltcoats. Also located in Gunn Park is the war memorial and cenotaph. Originally, this monument was built in July of 1919 to honour the servicemen of WWI. It later expanded after WWII, and features a captured German artillery piece from 1918. The park is shady with plenty of seating and has an excellent view of the lake.
Town Hall and Historic Bell
The Saltcoats District Community Hall plays a large part in the social life of the community, and can be rented for family and other events. The front of the building features murals by local artists showing the history of town halls in Saltcoats. Outside the hall is the historical bell which was housed in the town hall between 1911 and 1955.
Legion Park and Arboretum
The park features a playground for children, as well as a wide variety of memorial trees with plaques identifying their dedication, as well as species. The Park is accessed via the alley between York Street, Ayr Street and Crescent Lake Road.
Saltcoats Historical Cemetery
The Saltcoats Historical Cemetery is located across the Yellowhead Highway. This well-kept cemetery has a rich history and a story to tell for those curious to know more about their heritage. A pamphlet-guided historical walking tour is available. Walking tour pamphlets are available at the cemetery from May – September and at the Town Office all year round. A cairn is situated at the cemetery which depicts the steps taken to limited self-government in 1890.
Immigration Hall Garden
This park, located at High Street and Hill Street on the site of the former immigration hall, celebrates the brave men and women who came to the Saltcoats area during the early days of Canadian history.
Saltcoats District Regional Park
The Saltcoats District Regional Park features a beautiful beach area located on the eastern shore of Anderson Lake across from the Town of Saltcoats. In addition to a swimming dock, there is a dock for launching boats as well as waterskiing. Canoes can generally be launched directly from the beach if desired. The regional park also features a concession where you can buy a treat or a whole meal. Daily or seasonal camping sites are available for rent and a Pavilion is also available for rent for functions such as family reunions, weddings and other gatherings.
Leflay Nature Trail
The Leflay Trail is approximately 4 km long. It starts in the Saltcoats District Regional Park and meanders through typical parkland groves. A wide variety of flowering and other plants await your notice. Bird life varies with each season. Watch for deer, rabbits, porcupine and other small mammals and amphibians as you walk the trial. Anderson Lake is home to beaver, muskrat and many water birds. An hour is usually required to walk the trial.
Annual Salamander Walk/Run
On a Saturday in June the annual Salamander Walk/Run takes place. Start time is 9:00 a.m. Participants have the choice to walk or run a 6 km route, 12 km route or half-marathon (21.2 km). All participants of age and athletic ability are welcome. Details regarding the date and times are available at the Saltcoats Town Office, the Yorkton and Saltcoats branches of the Cornerstone Credit Union or on line at www.townofsaltcoats.ca.

In Arizona in the summer, your feet are always dirty. I don't know what it is. If it's just too difficult to keep the desert sand out from underneath you. The most refreshing thing, better than a face wash or a flick of the brush against your teeth, is to wash your feet from the edge of the tub. The final bedtime ritual, and then your feet just glide against the sheets as you fall asleep. The Morales cicadas.
My new neighborhood is overwhelming. The large, stately houses on small well-kempt lawns. Big looming porches and small concrete driveways. Tree-lined streets that seem to never end. My six block walk seemed too long at first, then not long enough, as I tried to take in everything all at once. The couples setting up a mini drive-in movie screen in their front lawn; the tricycles and bicycles left on the sidewalks; the shouts of children; the jingles of dog collars; the buzz of nature everywhere–ants in the cracks, birds in the trees, sticks scraping by.
I walked home in the dark and couldn't decide to hurry or pace. Couldn't decide to trust that there was nothing looming, even though the streets were lamp-less. My city-ness kicking in. But there it was then, up ahead, the big white house with the big red porch, all lit-up and waiting for me. My car parked out front, waiting for me. I walked up the stairs and opened the screen and unlocked the door and shut both behind me and turned off the porch light and opened the entryway door and walked in and hung up my keys on the hook and took off my shoes and looked around. The house responds to me. It answers every step. Realigns and readjusts and moves over for me. It absorbs me. The floor reverberates out, alerting the stairs of my presence, and they welcome me as I climb to my room. Everything I touch is soft and presses in.
The faucet sprays into the tub and my summer callouses are sensitive to the hot water. The dirt of the day comes off easily enough, and then I'm in bed against the slick cotton of my sheets. It's enough and it's intoxicating and I feel something I haven't felt in many, many summers. The feeling of possibility, of adventure, of timelessness.

Restricted, Confidential, Secret and Top Secret
Despite existing for hundreds of years people and organisations have used classification systems for the protection of information and for the description of things.Read The Article
Carl Linnaeus, a Swedish botanist, physician and zoologist, developed a system for classifying and naming organisms which today the military of many nations use to classify security. They use it for the protection and dissemination of information - Restricted, Confidential, Secret and Top Secret. By using this system, the permitted officer rank or designated people have the permissions to view these electronic or printed documents.
With the advent of GDPR early next year organisations are taking security more seriously than ever before. Many conversations I have about print and the potential risks attributed to a printer or multi-function device (MFD) only highlight the greater emphasis that needs to be put in place to protect these endpoint devices.
Too often I have been told by organisations that "my printers are secure because I use a pull print solution in place" only for Ergo to highlight the many risks that there are in MFD's through unsecured protocols and settings. HP have shown us through their outstanding video series of "The Wolf" and "The Fixer" the potential damage an unsecured printer or MFD can do.
Organisations are at many different stages when it comes to print security and Ergo have seen how some are way ahead having embraced the concept. However, when we talk about printed documents and Data Loss Prevention the conversation develops into a whole new interesting one to where the response is often "I have asked about this in the past and was told it could not be done". The reason data loss prevention could not be done in the past is because there previously was no software which had the capabilities that are now available.
At Ergo we can design your very own classification system to protect your information using Carl Linnaeus description of things or military security classifications. By assigning users into organisation units within Active Directory we can set the classification level that they are permitted to have. So, if a user prints a document mark Restricted, Confidential, etc. without having the required security permissions then that document will fail to print and will subsequently notify your Security Officer, IT or Line Manager. They will then have an electronic copy of the document sent to them and they now have the ability to review it. Ergo can also prevent documents being printed which have words or numbers on a page that sit outside of your created classification system, for example PPS or social security numbers.
There are many ways we can prevent unauthorised access by using this system which will help greatly reduce data loss through printing and prevent critical data being printed.
Now more than ever is the time when your data is more important and you really do not want it to fall into the hands of those who will maliciously use it against you. Don't let rival companies gain a lifeline by using your data against you or get a critical edge in the marketplace from your lack of attention to detail to secure your print estate.
The speed of digital adoption has been such that we really haven't previously seen such a drastic cultural...Read now

|Coin? Charm? Fake? Ancient or modern?
1 Liang
I suspect this may be a modern fake (based solely upon some rather more problematic pieces offered by the same dealer). It is, however, a handsome piece. Ding Fubao, in his 1938 edition, identifies this as an ancient fake, illustrating a 67mm example (pictured on p. 220 of Fisher's Ding). But Wybrand Op den Velde remarks:
"the calligraphy is very good and closely follows the official pattern, indicating that it may have been a commemorative or presentation piece. It is certainly never meant for circulation since it is too bulky to have circulated freely or been properly accepted. No contemporary counterfeiter in his right mind would have put that much work or metal into a non-circulating piece." ("Cash Coin Index", Ming Dyn, plate 35)

Alot of things have come and gone. People, things, problems, solutions, happiness, emo-ness. Alot of people have come into my life, few have stayed. Alot of them make a big impression but ended up a mess. Some started with the worst impression but ended up being someone I talk to about everything.
This fella shown in the picture, he is the one person that I can tell just about EVERYTHiNG. Started out as enemies because of a major misunderstanding. Until the day our mutual friend bring us out together. Things improved slowly and now? Haha, we are best friends. We've been through ALOT of rumors and gossips. Don't give a damn about it, we just live our lives as it is. We play around like little kids but we are serious when needed to. Our personality and dirty jokes are mostly the same. Our ''happy'' brains are linked. Haha, of everything that has happened, I really appreciate and grateful for your existence in my life. Above it all, if it is not for our little major misunderstanding, we wouldn't be where we are. You are truly a good friends. You may PMS(but not as much as me) every now and then but I know you'll always be around for me and I'll always be around for you when needed to. Cheers^^ to our WHORESOME friendship.
Next, the only girl among our gang. Haha, she's a magnet alright but not the right kind of magnet. Most of the guys she attract are mostly...GAYS, lol! Got to know her in a very funny way. It all happened in Visual Communication's class when I was curious who is this Teoh Kher Shieu. Best part, I say it out loud. Next thing I know, this girl with green highlights turns around and replied, ''Yes?'' We got to know each other, then on the very same day we talked about piercings and tattoos (I don't have any tattoos). The next day, we went hunting for new earrings at Prangin Mall and the rest they say is history, a beautiful history. I have never argue with her before. Like Kit, she has been with me throughout everything. Sad and happy, hook ups and break ups. Shieu, hehe...thanks for being by my side, accepting who I am and being....YOU :) The perfect song for you? KiSS WiTH A FiST by Florence & The Machine. You are sweet and cute (NYA~) but you can sure deliver a punch when needed :)
This one, open mouth only...keep twisting my words around. Ooi Boon Leng! Otherwise known as Joshua. Haha! If you're reading this, I know you'll be saying me ''cipet'' in your mind, haha! Trust me, I am writing bout your positives. I've known you for 2years. Our friendship started off okayyy, then it became rocky, it cracked and it recovered and now? Haha, I've never imagined that we would be as close as we are now. You may twist my words around, you may tease me but you are you and for who you are, I love having you as my friend. One of my closest friends. Haha, I know you won't twist my words around as long as I don't say the word ''3 months'', right? You're never nice but you're nice in your own ways. Haha, you're Joshua, you're HOT 'N COLD. Thats the right line to describe you.
I am glad to have these people around me :) Love each and everyone of them!
MY ENTOURAGE! Love' Them!

Leather is made by tanning the fresh skin of animals like pigs, dogs, cows and some of the other animals.You can also obtain leather from skins that would be finished into furs by choosing [D]e-hair (for rawhide/leather) before you start to tan them.
Leather by itself is not worth very much. If you plan to trade leather, it is best to first turn it into some form of clothing, such as leather belts.
Leather provides more damage resistance than fur, but is not as good at keeping warmth.
Leather bearing animals include:
Constructions requiring leather (optional for cords and bandages):
- Grainflails
- Ropes
- Cords
- Bandages
- Ski sticks
- Skins (liquid containers)
- Leather Belts
- Leather Caps
- Leather Shirts
- Leather Leggings
- Leather Shoes

Because I can't count, I made 24 I's. I only needed 12.
I cut fabric for 24 H's before I caught myself. And I sewed them together in about 15 minutes and I didn't even take pictures. Oops.
So I used the extra crossbars from the H's to make the E's. How did I do that? Lemme show ya!
Then sewed the upright.
Julie wrote to me, "I want to see you make 12 2-1/2" K's." She didn't say it like she didn't think I could do it. She said it like she was curious. How are you going to make your K's 2-1/2" tall?
If I can make a Q that size, I can make K's that size too, and I did, but it's past my bedtime. So I will show you tomorrow.
However, I will leave you with proof:
Those squares on my cutting mat are 1" (2.54 cm).

Most of you have figured out my now my breakfasts are either super sweet or super savory. This one is the latter. I'm a big fan of savory breakfasts, especially before a good training day. This one might top the charts as my new favorite. I really have only now discovered this combination and am quickly realizing the possibilities are endless! You can truly mix and match almost any of the mix-in ingredients. My next adventure will be with zucchini and bacon, then I'll try bell peppers, onion and ham, and finally a California version with tomato, chorizo or bacon, and avocado. Oh and guess what? This dish is GREAT reheated the next morning so all of you who don't usually make a whole quiche to themselves, think again! I'd even eat this for dinner. Don't judge me. #breakfastfordinner
Quiche is basically an egg mixed with milk that turns until a fluffly eggy cloud. You can mix it with whatever you want but typically the base involves cheese and vegetables. Typically you put all of it into a pie crust or mix it with bisquick for a bread or pancake-like texture but this one holds up on it's own. There is plenty of protein and quite a bit of fat so I was able to save room for carbs later on in my day (ahem, cookies) by removing the crust. If you wanted to, you could absolutely do a crust but I think it's perfect without. Maybe you just pair it with some Dave's protein bread like I did with a tsp of grass-fed butter. Yum.
- 8-10 oz. fresh mushrooms (1 container)
- ½ tsp minced garlic
- 1 box frozen spinach
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 oz. feta cheese
- ¼ cup grated parmesan
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella
- salt & pepper
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- If your frozen spinach is not already thawed, thaw it in the microwave. Empty the box into a colander and let it drain while you begin to prepare the rest.
- Remove the mushroom stems and thinly slice the mushroom caps. Place them in a skillet coated with non-stick spray, add the minced garlic, and sprinkle a little salt and pepper. Saute until they are cooked and moisture is removed (about 7 mins).
- Spray a pie dish with non-stick spray. Squeeze the rest of the water out of the spinach and spread it out on the bottom of the pie dish. Top with the cooked mushrooms and crumbled feta.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs until fairly smooth. Add the milk, parmesan, and another small sprinkle of pepper. Whisk to combine. Pour this mixture into the pie dish over the spinach, mushrooms, and feta.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over top.
- Place the quiche into the preheated oven and bake until it is golden brown on top and the center is solid, 45 minutes and an hour. Slice and serve!

St. Nicholas Institute is the one-of-a-kind spiritual retreat and educational symposium uniquely designed with the professional St. Nicholas, Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus and the serious amateur in mind.
Conducted each October in the beautifully serene setting of Detroit's St. Paul of the Cross Retreat Center, the multi-day St. Nicholas Institute represents a refreshing change of pace for "men and women in red." Institute participants will experience: informative seminar sessions presented by knowledgeable speakers representing diverse fields of expertise. As an added plus, there opportunities for private reflection and/or prayer, recreation, welcome periods for relaxation and/or "siestas." This balanced combination of a spiritual retreat and informative seminar is held within a warm, quiet environment, encouraging mutual sharing, socializing and building comradery with other faith-based men and women who recognize that "Jesus is", indeed, "the reason for the Season."
The St. Nicholas Institute is open to all Mrs. Clauses, St. Nicholases and/or Santa Clauses (traditionally bearded or theatrically bearded "St. Nicks") from all Christian backgrounds (Eastern Orthodox Christians, Protestants, as well as Roman and Eastern Catholics). Our unique program is designed to effectively portray Santa Claus and St. Nicholas for a wide variety of venues (both secular and religious). Special attention is given that encourages prayerful openness to the very same Spirit that animated the life and actions of the original "jolly old St. Nicholas", whose heart was made glad by the Babe born in Bethlehem.
Fr. Joseph is the pastor of Sacred Heart Byzantine Catholic Church, Livonia, MI. Possessing over 45 years of professional Santa Claus / St. Nicholas experience. During the course of his four and-one-half decades of experience, he has brought "St. Nick" to life for both national and local media during LIVE broadcasts. These include CBS (Television Network) broadcasts of the legendary J.L. Hudson & Company Thanksgiving Day Parade, which were Detroit's worthy rival to New York City's Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. He's likewise featured as Santa in print, television and radio commercials. His recognitions include: an Emmy Award winning Santa, judged "Super Santa" by The Detroit News, and is also a member of the Santa Claus Hall of Fame. Most recently, Marquis appeared as both St. Nicholas and Santa Claus, accompanied by six puppet characters of his own, for the children's Christmas DVD, "Saint to Santa: How St. Nicholas Became Santa Claus.". Fr. Joseph has been regularly seen on EWTN (Global Catholic Television Network).
Rev. Rennie Kaufmann, associate director, St. Nicholas Institute, is the pastor of Risen Christ Lutheran Church, Plymouth, MI. A true "Renaissance Man" in the field of entertainment, he has distinguished himself professionally in a wide variety of venues for more than two-and-one half decades. His long list of credits include: numerous private parties hosted by Oprah Winfrey, working with the legendary Quincy Jones, musical presentations at Walt Disney World in addition to countless appearances on television and radio. Pastor Rennie's musical and performing gifts offer added pizzazz during the Institute seminars and as the featured vocalist for the gala St. Nicholas Institute Awards Banquet.

The Society of Aviation and Flight Educators (SAFE) has launched a fundraising campaign that offers donors a shot at an introductory flight in the dual-control P-51TF Mustang known as "The Little Witch." Valued at $3,250, the session includes two hours of pre- and post-flight briefings, plus one hour in the aircraft with a Stallion 51 instructor.
According to SAFE Executive Director Doug Stewart, "We are extremely grateful to 'The Little Witch' owner Jim Goodwin for offering his beautifully restored aircraft to us for this campaign, and to the wonderful folks at Stallion 51."
The winning ticket will be selected at random on Saturday, March 31, 2012, during Sun 'n Fun in Lakeland, Fla. The winner will not only help create the flight's mission profile, but will also be given the opportunity to do most of the flying. A maximum of 2,000 tickets will be issued for donations of $20 per ticket. Tickets are available exclusively through the SAFE website.

I am a voracious reader and the book problem is getting out of hand. For a long time I have had the policy that I only bought books that I seriously wanted to own as part of my library, which meant that I usually had already read them. This helped keep the piles down, but lately I have begun to buy books just for the sake of buying them again. This is part of author good karma and I am happy to do it.
I am also an avid library supporter and so I go to the library on a weekly basis and usually come away with an armload of books. I don't always read each one, but, I read until I am bored or it loses my interest. Often, I am reading four or five books at once, and the one or two I keep reading until the end, wins the competition. (I imagine that is what it is like with agents and manuscript submissions).
Also, I have been going to used bookstores. We have some great ones. The Montague Bookmill being one of the best. "Books you don't need in a place you can't find." When I go to these places, I pick up books I have been wanting to add to my collection and books that are just for general interest, especially to visitors.
I love it when I walk into a house and there are piles of books. So, I have started to let that happen in my own home. I am not a clutterbug and I have had people come in to my house and say where is all your stuff. Well, I am letting the books and magazines clutter things. It is worth it. Although I really do just need another bookshelf.
Another spring feeding our Voracious Reading is my husband and I like to support our local book store and even if we aren't buying books, occasionally we go and select a few magazines from their varied collection. I am not talking about Cosmo or Better Homes and Gardens (although I do like that one), I am talking about Writer's magazines, or Beer Brewing magazines, or Farming magazines, or Art magazines. Supporting small publications, small book stores and our interests all at once. It is great. And then I keep them around for others to enjoy when they come to our house.
What do you read? Do you have piles around your house? What is in your bookshelf? I love seeing other people's bookshelves. (Lostinsidethecovers – that is a shout out to you!)

September 28, 2010 --More Americans are turning to surgery as the way to lose weight. But some say they have reaped the benefits of surgery without going under the knife.
A new weight loss technique uses the hypnosis. It's called gastric mind band. The intensive four-day program includes behavior therapy to help patients learn to resist temptation. The process culminates in the gastric band hypnosis session.
Marianne Zeger says she lost 120 pounds in 10 months using this technique.
"We create smells into the room and have background noises, because the more sense that are involved in the whole process, the stronger the suggestions is," said Zeger.
The gastric mind band clinic in Europe has been so successful the therapy will soon be offered at a facility in New York. It costs about $3,000 dollars.

However, one day Chad was worrying about some thing that wasn't especially crucial to getting through our day, and I did a little impersonation (that he enjoyed) of him letting all of the passing trees smack him in the face instead of keeping his eye on the forest. He did laugh and agreed that he lets that happen sometimes, but I also understand that is how he tries to deal. Not many days later my Mom came in the house and exclaimed that she couldn't understand how I could leave kitchen cupboards hanging open. It drives her crazy if her cupboards are open. I replayed the forest and trees impersonation for her also. But, I understand that when life in general might seem out of her control, at least Mom can make sure her cupboards are shut properly, and that helps her.
These two interactions have helped me develop a new way of sorting out what I need to worry about in a day. Some examples of TREES might include: laundry, dishes, cleaning, worrying about my appearance too much, making sure the kitchen cupboards are closed, making sure the house is immaculate (which it never is), etc.
And here is the FOREST:
And here:
And here:
Chad and I have been working on improving our health. In June my insulin level was 76.6. It should be between 3 and 17. I started exercising, list some weight, and we have been eating better, for the most part, and I just had it retested and it is 11.9 now! Chad has lost at least 21 pounds in the past year. Being healthy is part of the forest because we absolutely need to be able to do a lot of hard work to continue taking care of Lu. We also make sure we get a date together at least once a month for some time alone and to regroup. Maintaining our sanity is part of the Forest.
The Forest is just all that is involved in making sure Lu is at her healthiest and happiest. If something does not directly contribute to that, then it is just a tree, and we can get to it later, if at all. I would never begrudge Mom and Chad their coping skills, but what I have found is that if I can sort things out between Trees and the Forest, then I can remain more calm, and get less overwhelmed throughout the day. If something is a tree, I just categorize it as such and move on. It has been liberating!

4 Reasons You Should Never Use Your Facebook (or Google) Login on Another Site
I get it. People hate passwords. They are too hard to remember, and you have to come up with a unique one for every site. That's BS.
A number of internet giants got together a few years ago to come up with OAuth, and now OAUth2. It's a spec that allows you to use one of your social media passwords to login to other sites.
I'm sure you've used this service before. But I want you to stop using this service – it's a really bad idea when it comes to security. Here's why
1 – Easy to Spoof
It is trivial for a malicious website owner to build a window that looks like an authentic Facebook/Google login screen. Just put up a few graphical buttons, logos and the form fields to capture your credentials. You type your username and password into what you think is a Facebook login, but you've just given them to the bad guys. The bad guys can subsequently put up a fake timeout error screen to make it seem like Facebook is offline at the moment.
Mitigation: Only use your social media passwords on well-known sites that you can trust. Never use it on a site you've never heard of or that looks fishy. Also, use 2-factor authentication on Google and Facebook.
2 – What if your Password is Compromised?
Do you know anyone who has had their email or Facebook account hacked? It can be an inconvenience to say the least. Hackers can really screw up a Facebook account if they get your password.
If you use your social media password on other sites and somebody figures out your password, an enterprising criminal might go looking for other accounts of yours to ruin. Double or triple the fun!
This is the same problem as reusing your password on other sites that Google and Facebook warn you about!!!
Mitigation: Only use your social media passwords on sites that have no other personal information and no important data stored.
3 – What if Google or Facebook are Compromised?
This is a corollary to #2. You could have a 32-character gibberish GOAL password that nobody in the world could guess. But what happens when (not if) someone breaks into the passwords at Google or Facebook? Think it can't happen? It already happened to Linked In.
Google and Facebook are excellent at security, and there's not much you personally can do to prevent an attack like this from occurring. So the risk here is low.
4 – Easy Tracking!
Do you think Google is going to sit back and not monitor your activity on that new site? Don't you think that Facebook is tracking your activity and making it easier for that new site (or others) to know what you clicked on, what you liked? These companies didn't implement OAuth out of the goodness of their hearts. They have something to gain, and that something is your behavior!
Mitigation: Don't do it!
A Better Solution
The better way to solving the ballooning password problem is to use a password manager like Dash or Lastpass. You choose one really super-strong, uncrackable password for your password manager, and then the password manager remembers all the rest. You can create 1000 different logins all with unique and impossible passwords.

We pride ourselves in having provided quality crowns and bridges in Auckland for over 35 years helping many thousands of patients to smile, laugh, talk and chew confidently and effectively again.
This patient needed a cosmetic smile makeover to correct their heavily restored, discoloured and rotated teeth which we achieved with Procera® All-Ceramic Crowns
A perfectly healthy, properly developed adult tooth should not need to be crowned, and we would strive to minimise any invasive dental treatment to a tooth such as this at all. Unfortunately not all teeth are as fortunate with damage to teeth resulting from tooth decay and resultant dental treatment and restorations, external trauma and other tooth fractures as well as wear and erosion of natural tooth surfaces all able to lead to weakened or compromised tooth structure and sometimes a crown can be the best way of rebuilding and stabilising such teeth. Occasionally there can also be abnormal tooth development which can include weakened or unaesthetic tooth surfaces or positioning which can also be corrected using crown treatment. A crown (sometimes called a cap by laypeople) is essentially a tooth shaped artificial shell which seals, protects and provides a new surface for an existing natural tooth. The main aim of providing a dental crown is to minimise the risk of future deterioration of the existing tooth. A bridge is one way to stabilise and restore missing teeth and can be used when the other options of either dental implants or denture treatment are either not possible or not desired. There are several designs that a dental bridge can be made to but the most common fixed bridge is where natural supporting teeth are crowned and the missing tooth/teeth are built in/attached to these support teeth.
There are many different types and brands of dental crown and bridgework available today. At Fraser Smith Lowe Dentists, your dentist will put the time and effort into having all your crown and bridgework laboratory custom made as we believe that we get superior results with the fit, strength as well as beautiful aesthetics in our restorations. For aesthetic cases, the majority of the treatment that we provide today is all-ceramic. We still make traditional gold and porcelain fused to metal crowns and bridges, especially in cases where there may be higher biting forces present or limited space in the bite and aesthetics are not of prime concern. In some cases it is also appropriate to conserve remaining tooth structure and provide partial coverage restorations such as porcelain veneers, or gold or porcelain inlays and onlays. Where an all-ceramic crown or bridge is decided as the best treatment option we have excellent success as one of the leading Auckland providers of Procera® All-Ceramic Crowns and Bridges from Nobel Biocare, a world leader in innovative restorative and aesthetic dental solutions. More recently we are now providing IPS e.max All-Ceramic restorations also and these have excellent physical properties where extra strength is required. Benefits of All-Ceramics include:
Heavily restored teeth which we treated with Procera® All-Ceramic Crowns
Comprehensive examination and treatment plan
Before any treatment is commenced, your dentist will see you for a full evaluation of your dental situation. Your dentist will then be able to develop a suitable treatment plan specific to your mouth that is appropriate for you. We see this as one of the most important phases of crown and bridge treatment as often a well planned restoration will maximise the quality of the final result. It is important that the overall health of the mouth is at a satisfactory standard for this type of treatment so the whole mouth must be taken into consideration and not just the teeth that need restoring. Occasionally some preliminary treatment may be required before commencing with crown or bridge treatment.
Tooth Preparation Appointment
Your dentist will see you for an appointment to reshape the surface of the teeth which are going to be restored to allow enough room for the crown or bridge material to fit over the teeth. Usually this involves reshaping the outer few millimetres of the tooth and can be done under local anaesthetic. An impression or mould of your teeth will be taken to create an accurate model of your teeth and the construction of the crown or bridgework can be completed using this model. This may take around 2 weeks to be completed to allow the restoration to be beautifully hand crafted by an expert dental ceramist. Your dentist will construct a provisional crown or bridge for you to use during this time. For Procera® restorations the model is digitally scanned and sent to a computerized production facility where the base material is custom machined to fit before it returns to our ceramist to layer the porcelain surface. For some cases we will send you to see the ceramist to evaluate the shade and aesthetics of your teeth so the crown or bridgework can be properly matched to blend in.
Fitting the Crown or Bridgework
Once the construction of the crown of bridgework is completed you will return to your dentist to have the new restoration fitted. This is cemented in place and can be performed under local anaesthetic. Regular dental visits and good at home oral hygiene will maximise the long term success of the restoration.

I just realised its been 2 months since I posted anything... freaking 2 long months?! To cut the void, I am going to post 2 Holi greetings that my daddy dearest created for Holi last week, and it does not get cuter than this!
Oh yes, my dad is a proud NanaG to 3 cheeky boys!
In the meantime, the boys have been doing a good job collecting this transformers figurines. Sure it gets tedious to make sure every small parts are accounted for, but the satisfaction of seeing them learn to transform the robots, is just priceless.
Recently we were in Vung Tau, Vietnam, and they had the most lovely ensemble of marigold flowers of every types, so full and round like yummy laddus!
I might just share more pictures from our trip... Lets keep this blog going! Then the next time, cheers!

Using the Google DataTable .Net Wrapper
As I have just published the Google DataTable .Net Wrapper project on
CodePlex GitHub, the following post intends to be a quick introduction on the rationale on why this project has been created and its implementation.
Read further
Quick Project Background
As I wanted to free up the server resources from generating images at runtime, and to be honest, haven't had experience with javascript charting libraries, I've chosen to go with the JavaScript approach. Among a large number of JavaScript libraries I've chosen the "Google Chart Tools". Google Chart Tools is one of the most extensive libraries of charts on the web. It supports both HTML5 or SVG rendered charts. One of the good points of the Google Chart Tools is that is as well compatible with the iOS and Android. In any case, all the information about the Google Charts can be directly consulted on the official project page.
Why the Google DataTable .NET Wrapper?
As in my case of a web site project, there are mainly two ways that Google Chart Tools library uses to handle the data that would be later displayed:
- Data, directly generated, client side, on the page, which means directly in the JavaScript.
- Data prepared and then retrieved, i.e: by using a Ajax call, from the server
Let's see both examples of how this can be done by looking at the client, JavaScript side:
Generating a chart with data generated directly on the client
In this example, the data has been generated directly in the JavaScript (the
data.addRows(...) part. This is pretty much easy, but somehow cumbersome if you need to generate and return some complex dynamic data.
// Load the Visualization API and the piechart package. google.load('visualization', '1.0', {'packages':['corechart']}); // Set a callback to run when the Google Visualization API is loaded. google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart); // Callback that creates and populates a data table, // instantiates the pie chart, passes in the data and // draws it. function drawChart() { // Create the DataTable directly in the javascript. var data = new google.visualization.DataTable(); data.addColumn('string', 'Topping'); data.addColumn('number', 'Slices'); data.addRows([ ['Mushrooms', 3], ['Onions', 1], ['Olives', 1], ['Zucchini', 1], ['Pepperoni', 2] ]); // Set chart options var options = {'title':'How Much Pizza I Ate Last Night', 'width':400, 'height':300}; // Instantiate and draw our chart, passing in some options. var chart = new google.visualization .PieChart(document.getElementById('chart_div')); chart.draw(data, options); }
Using Ajax in order to get the server side generated data
In this, second, JavaScript example, the data has been generated on the server and Ajax has been used to retrieve data from a RESTful service. In order to achieve this, a reference to jQuery needs to be added to the page.
// Load the Visualization API and the piechart package. google.load('visualization', '1', {'packages':['corechart']}); // Set a callback to run when the Google Visualization API is loaded. google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart); function drawChart() { var jsonData = $.ajax({ url: "/Statistics/GetStatisticsForChart?messageCode=SomeCodeHere", dataType: "json", async: false }).responseText; // Create our data table out of JSON data loaded from server. var data = new google.visualization.DataTable(jsonData); // Instantiate and draw our chart, passing in some options. var chart = new google.visualization.ColumnChart(document.getElementById('chart_div')); chart.draw(data, { width: 400, height: 240 }); }
for more info on this particular usage, please check the google site.
Server Side generated content
When retrieving data from the server, the data transfer format has to be expressed in JSON and in order to generate a Google Charts compatible
DataTable format, a specific "schema" has to be used. Below is an example of a
DataTable that Google Chart Tools understand, and expressed in JSON.
{ "cols": [ {"id":"", "label":"Topping", "pattern":"", "type":"string"}, {"id":"", "label":"Slices", "pattern":"", "type":"number"} ], "rows": [ {"c":[{"v":"Mushrooms", "f":null}, {"v":3,"f":null}]}, {"c":[{"v":"Onions", "f":null}, {"v":1,"f":null}]}, {"c":[{"v":"Olives", "f":null}, {"v":1,"f":null}]}, {"c":[{"v":"Zucchini", "f":null}, {"v":1,"f":null}]}, {"c":[{"v":"Pepperoni", "f":null}, {"v":2,"f":null}]} ] }
Google DataTable .Net Wrapper to the rescue
Are you willing to manually generate the above JSON code for every single case? I wasn't and therefore I created, what I called, Google DataTable .NET Wrapper, that could simplify drastically the Json generation by following a full POCO lightweight object model.
Let's see it in action
using Google.DataTable.Net.Wrapper; private string GetDataTableJson() { DataTable dt = new DataTable(); //Act ----------------- dt.AddColumn(new Column(ColumnType.Number, "Year")); dt.AddColumn(new Column(ColumnType.String, "Count")); var row1 = dt.NewRow(); var row2 = dt.NewRow(); row1.AddCellRange(new[] {new Cell(2012, "2012"), new Cell(150, "150")}); row2.AddCellRange(new[] {new Cell(2013, "2013"), new Cell(100, "100")}); dt.AddRow(row1); dt.AddRow(row2); return dt.GetJson(); }
would result in the following generated JSON
{ "cols": [ {"type": "number", "id": "Year"}, {"type": "string", "id": "Count"} ], "rows": [ {"c": [{"v": "2012", "f": "2012"}, {"v": "150", "f": "150"}]}, {"c": [{"v": "2013", "f": "2013"}, {"v": "100", "f": "100"}]} ] }
Wrapping it all together
As you may see in the above example, the Google DataTable .Net Wrapper is a simple library that contains several classes:
- DataTable
- Column
- Row
- Cell
and that gives a great way of expressing the data in a strongly typed way, by offering the possibility to export the Json data in exactly the format that the Google Chart Library needs. This will make you avoid writing any specific code in order to transform your object data into JSON format.
Objects are lightweight and made very simple, so this should affect in any way the performance of your application.
What comes next?
There are still some unfinished things, as the "full" Google DataTable support. As the Google library supports a lot of different scenarios, especially when it comes to what Google calls "Property Map", where additional data could be added to the
Cell or the
DataTable itself. For the time being this has been implemented as a single string, when in reality should be more a List of
NameValue pair objects.
