I love romances and yet I have not read many Nora Roberts, even though she's written, oh, a million. This one was recommended to me by a friend who thought I might like the magical element to it. It is the first in a trilogy about three women who live on an island (Three Sisters) and are descendents of three witches who created the island. This first novel introduces us to the three women as one of them arrives at the island unaware of her heritage. She has found her way to the island after escaping a cruel abusive husband by faking her own death. It's all very Sleeping with the Enemy. So much so that I'd be surprised someone didn't sue someone else over the story except I suppose that the fake-your-own-death-to-start-a-new-life plot really isn't exclusive to anyone. As I read it I imagined in my mind the movie and Martha's Vineyard (I used to live there, so reading about an island off the coast of New England, not far from Boston, well it seemed quite modeled on it.) I loved how Nell arrived at the island and found her way to starting a new life there, making friends and connections, and especially baking and catering (magic! Island! Catering! Romance! Nora Roberts clearly has my number-if only there were a boarding school on the island for the magically inclined.) Nell and the local Sherriff are immediately attracted to each other, but the trauma she has suffered makes it hard for her to get close to him and open. But of course she does and it's all quite marvelous and lovey dovey because this is a romance. However, as Nell grows into her witchy skills even she can tell (portend?) that an evil will be coming to the island, and she fears for her life.
This was a nice juicy paperback and I'll for sure move on to the next two when I have a gap in my reading.

The deputy head of the US National Security Agency [NSA] said in an interview Saturday Allegations from the US that British spy agency GCHQ snooped on Donald Trump during his election campaign are "arrant nonsense".
President Trump had stood by unproven claims that the Obama administration tapped his phones during the 2016 White House race. On Thursday his spokesman cited a media report that Britain's GCHQ was behind the surveillance.
Richard Ledgett, deputy director of the NSA, told BBC News the idea that Britain had a hand in spying on Trump was "just crazy".
"It belies a complete lack of understanding of how the relationship works between the intel community agencies, it completely ignores the political reality of 'would the UK government agree to do that?'", Ledgett said.
There would be no advantage for Britain's government in spying on Trump, given the potential cost, he said.
"It would be epically stupid," said Ledgett, who is due to retire shortly.
Current and former NSA officials had described an acrimonious relationship between intelligence agencies and the Trump administration.
Trump, who became president in January, tweeted earlier this month that his Democratic predecessor Barack Obama had wiretapped him during the late stages of the 2016 campaign. The Republican president offered no evidence for the allegation, which an Obama spokesman said was "simply false".
Fox News analyst Andrew Napolitano Tuesday accused the Government Communications Headquarters [GCHQ] - the British equivalent of the NSA - of having helped Obama to spy on Trump.
White House spokesman Sean Spicer quoted Napolitano's comments Thursday.
GCHQ said the claims it spied on Trump were "utterly ridiculous" and should be ignored, in a rare public statement.
On Friday, Trump said questions on this should be asked of Fox News, not him.

I make to-do lists like everyday at work. Half the time I loose them by the time I get home, but seriously, I wouldn't accomplish anything if I didn't write it down. And sometimes I add things to my to-do list after I've already done them just so I can have the satisfaction of crossing them off! I know, I'm a dork!

I think we should start a thread where any undesirable side effect of C60 consumption, or concerns about toxicity can be aggregated.
When toxicity effects are potentially pointed out there is a tendency, now, to counter with "C60 in Olive oil is not the same" or blame all the toxicity on possible contaminants. In some cases this has shown to be true, but I think all the data is not yet in and a great deal of caution is still prudent.
Which was really about nanotubes and possible mesothelioma used C60 as a control, but then found:
During the first study of long fiber MWCNT mentioned above, we found a possible chronic
toxicity of C60 which was used as a negative control for mesotheliomagenesis. A follow up study was conducted; a single injection of 3 mg of fullerene (a suspension of aggregates) was given i.p. to thirty wild type C57Bl/6 male mice. Another thirty mice were given vehicle solution. The body weight gain of the treated mice was significantly suppressed. At weeks 44, most of the C60 injected mice had macroscopic lesions of the kidney(s). It is noted that the peritoneal reaction was mild to minimum in both immune and foreign body reaction. Histopathological analysis indicates the possible target of the chronic nephrotoxicity as renal tubular system. Detailed analysis is underway (manuscript in preparation).
Week 44 is a pretty long ways out, maybe end of life for a human equivalent. Still, although this wasn't ooC60 and it was injected the report is concerning. Without any mechanism of action proven we just don't have any idea if C60 unbinds from the oo, clumps together in VIVO or what.
The reports for gym gains look envying, but I'm not going to risk it on myself just yet. Would like to see above thoroughly refuted...

We started our school year in May and with that we started The Mystery of History Volume III – having completed Volumes I and II (well my oldest will have done all three, my middle child and youngest two and three). We truly enjoy this Biblically centered history and geography curriculum – no worries, I'm not doing a review 😀 You're welcome.
We finished Quarter 3 today – meaning we have only 1 more quarter and if I have it planned right we'll finish at the end of January, of course that was when I thought we'd be doing school the week of November 4th but my oldest needed another week of recovery, so no school. So we may go into the 1st week of February.
One thing we studied was the Thirty Year's War – I learned a lot that I never knew – actually I knew nothing about the Thirty Year's War simply because I wasn't taught, but I digress. My oldest had to make a story spindle and it was really fun:
I'm glad that Linda Lacour Hobar, the author, split up this section, because if not I don't think any of us would have been able to comprehend the in depth nature of all that was going on during this time. Makes me glad I'm not living there at that time!

With Christmas only four days away, the American Idol judge got a head start on the festivities with hubby Nick Cannon and their adorable twins, Monroe and Moroccan, 20 months — and gave fans a sneak peek into their cozy celebrations on Twitter.
The family jetted away to Aspen, Colo., retreating to a getaway tucked away in the snowy mountains. "So beautiful! Christmas begins for me today. God Bless!!!!," she tweeted.
And Cannon has caught the holiday spirit as well: Carey shared a photo of her husband dancing around their home, donning headphones (listening to "All I Want For Christmas (Is You)," perhaps?) and a pair of fuzzy lamb slippers.
After catching up on family time, the pop star engaged in a little retail therapy with a trip to a Gucci store and a jewelry shop in the legendary ski town's shopping district. Happy Holidays, indeed!
Season 12 of American Idol premieres Weds., Jan. 16 at 8 PM on Fox — with Carey as one of its new judges.
What are some of your favorite family holiday traditions? Share your stories in the comments section!

As her mom I suppose I am a little biased, but I just thought she looked beyond adorable in her costume and she was just positively thrilled at the chance to dress up, wear a little lip gloss and blush and have sparkles sprayed in her hair. She did a really good job on stage, not smiling a whole lot because she was concentrating but not exhibiting any signs of stage fright either. She definitely said she liked being up there and wants to do it again.
I am sure she didn't mind all the attention she got either. Grandpa and Grandma Fenenoz, Great-Grandpa and Grandma Stevens, Aunt Leigh and cousins Aidan and Lilly all joined Daddy and Jake in the audience. As the backstage mom, I was with her until she lined up to go on stage and then got to sneak into the front row to watch her perform. At intermission Jake gave her a bouquet of mixed carnations and she got her final birthday gift - a recital bear as a keepsake of the occasion.
Striking a pose on the day of her studio dress rehearsal:
Taken in her room before leaving for the dress rehearsal:

Needless to say it was a big day for Jadyn and she fell asleep half sitting up on the couch clutching her new bear. She made us all very proud.

The thing is, Jack is two and a half. It's not hard to be out there with them anymore. He does disappear from time to time, but it's nothing like the past years when he's been in an exersaucer or 18 months and unsure of boundaries. They love it, and I love it. Especially when I am able to capture this moment:
Plus, how fun is it to photograph these colors? I can't get enough. They go as fast as they come, so I'm soaking them up.

I am an "anti-social dreamer" as one of my long lost friend once told me. At 24, I hate crowded places and obnoxious people. My idea of real fun is some chili cheese fries, black leggings with a big ass shirt and some good old fashioned REALITY TV. I think I live vicariously through all these fake reality stars, not having to deal with crazy drama but being front seat at the cat fight is totally my kind of Friday night!
I tend to do everything alone, I don't have any real friends. I do have my coworkers but I'm not counting them because they have families and kids and other friends and real lives AND actually have plans on the weekend. While I usually lay in bed till noon and force myself to clean the entire house so it feels like I was somewhat productive and then eat my feelings the rest of the day. I think my life has been like this since I was about 19 when I got in my first real fight (not physical) and pretty much lost connection with everyone.
So it has been 5 years of me, myself and I.
In the beginning I was totally bitter and depressed hating my loner lifestyle and resenting my boyfriend for having a big group of friends, and always having someone to hang out with. I never wanted to hold him back from anything so I never gave him any grief for wanting some guy time to go hang out, race cars, drink beer, burp and whatever guys do.
Me on the other hand, I spent my time at the mall drowning my sorrows in a nice pair of knee high suede boots and of course sone Cinnabon. I would always make nice conversation with the girls that worked in the stores, complimenting them on outfits, asking where they got that awesome phone case and giving them my secrets to perfect winged eyeliner. But deep down I know they just wanted a sale and just wanted someone to talk to.
So it was a good 2 years of this, me wallowing in my self pity, gaining 20 pounds and having no clue how the hell to make friends in my 20's. Honesty to this day I still ask, HOW THE HELL DO YOU MAKE FRIENDS?!
I went to makeup school and met some really wonderful girls that I had a great time in class with and totally hit it off. But even with exchanging numbers and letting them know that they can call me up anytime so we can hang out. I even made the effort of texting first but for some reason no luck.
I did have a best friend in high school that I occasionally hung out with even after we drifted far apart. But my texts got more frequent to hang out and her responses went from "definitely yes" to none. But when a favor was needed (pictures needed to be taken for a graduation) I was there to accept it with no pay and did it with a smile on my face. And what happened after you ask??? Never was spoken to again and I still don't have my USB back.
My boyfriend and I had a mutual "couple" friend. The girlfriend and I clicked perfectly and we always coordinated group dates all together. We got pretty close and she said she didn't have too much friend time since she has a child and has to take her everywhere, I told her call me anytime, I don't mind just hanging at the house watching a movie or doing kid activities. We totally agreed and promised to hang out more. Soooo, what happened to that? Well, I'll just say we probably went out twice alone and the other times other people were invited and I was left out as the 3 friend wheel.
I am still not quite sure where I went wrong on the friend train, did I get on the wrong one or miss my stop? I think I am hilarious (I sooo could have my own reality TV show just on that) I am a great secret keeper, I give awesome advice (wish I could take my own but eeh) I have amazing fashion sense (could be a professional personal shopper) things just don't get boring with me. But hey, I could be wrong and maybe I am just my own biggest fan.
Whatevs I know I'm awesome
With all these no friend experiences, I have developed into an antisocial character. I dread having to go visit family and converse about lame meaning less things. When they ask how you are you HAVE to say "good" or else you are doomed for a conversation about your lame life. My boyfriend says I have no soul now, I could care less about others. BUT I am still nice, respectful and a totally amazing actress you would never be able to tell I hate this conversation I am having with you. I will still talk shit about you to my cats.
Do not get me wrong, I do not hate AAALLLL human contact. I like it when I want it, other wise just remember Sushi knows everything about you and doesn't like you either.

Obviously heavy metal is the genre of choice for all things zombie. And there's always the occasional hardcore or psychobilly band, of course. But Kim Lenz managed to put rockabilly on every zombie fan's radar a few years back with this excellent music video from her latest album It's All True!
If Send More Paramedics or Death Breath simply aren't your style, be sure to check it out. In fact, Kim is out there on tour right now… so be sure to visit her official website to see if she's playing a show near you!

Week before spring break. Last week's snow day was sort of a fluke—less snow than we had expected, but still pretty generous (in my opinion). Fortunately, class was still canceled. And I spent much of the week interviewing and preparing for the Design Portfolio Review.
Besides that, I had my first official volunteer meeting at Dorcas. Brandon gave me a tour of 220 Elmwood campus—where most of the patient interaction happens. It was really cool to see the space, Dorcas does so much. And there are so many people I met, it's hard to keep track of names. I had to leave early this week, but there wasn't much for me to do. Brandon gave me some reading from ACLU and other sources. This Thursday evening is the rescheduled 'Know Your Rights' workshop, and I am hoping to leave Type in Motion early to attend it. I imagine the presentation will be finalized this week, and Brandon will have more for me to look over with him. Meaning, I should finish the reading and research from last week. Snapped this cool inspiration picture while I was at the 220 Campus—gives me an idea to make a mood board for my DP.
Mel was still missing this week, and I won't be at NUA next Monday for an interview, but I hope to come in next Friday. Kah and I discussed kickstarting the NUA UNO project in April. She is working on the poster—I more or less finished the templates for today. It's nice to have some time to draw the Reverse, Skip, etc. card templates.
I sent my third postcard to Ruth on Thursday, and am awaiting her response. Do Yun and I talked briefly about a potential collaboration—well, I more of badgered her to do one. Her DP is on mapping, and I think it'd be cool to do a project on mapping where people are from, or where they consider 'home' to be. I can use the data I collected from the survey! Come to think of it. We are set to discuss the collaboration further next week during Spring Break. Over Den Den fried chicken!
I went to the Discipleship class through Sanctuary on Wednesday, and am looking forward to the next class this week—with Augustine! I imagine this will be insightful for my directions posters. I am debating whether I want to show this to Pastor Andrew for his feedback or not. I suppose it couldn't hurt. Made some progress on the directions poster series, and the accompanying pamphlet—Cyrus' feedback to day was especially insightful.
Prepping for Unbound—extension of the survey. Hoping to prompt people to draw pictures of their 'home' (whatever that means to them, as opposed of their houses). In exchange of a sticker! Also, will be finalizing the artist book/houses I've lived in zine—Dwelling.
Tomorrow is our last meeting before spring break—I have heard that Paul's section will be having a midterm critique the week following. I didn't do any postings since the 'Home, ______Home.' Tomorrow I will be presenting:
–Dwelling artistbook/zine
–Sticker templates
–Initial survey results
–Directions posters/pamphlets
–Update on Ruth collaboration/Do Yun collaboration in the making
–NUA UNO/DIIRI update
–Moodboard/inspiration board?
–Idea for next 'posting' after the break

Supporting Communities
Working on a national UK basis we have been able to support local communities throughout the country through employment and training opportunities as well as wide ranging charitable support.
Examples of our support, working with local communities include:
- Providing education and engagement with National Maritime Museum, in a charity daffodil planting event
- Removing 4.5 tonnes of waste as part of a clean-up event in Bury St Edmunds alongside Havebury Housing
- Assisting in Birmingham's Oaklands Park' Community Action Day
- Community planting days with various clients, including Pennaf Housing Group, Sovereign Housing, Enfield Council, and more.
- Improving outdoor spaces at Pilgrim's Hospice, Ashford, in partnership with Tesco
We also teamed up with our client, Tesco, to assist with the BBC's DIY SOS Big Build Veterans' Special. Supplying landscape personnel to support the project, we helped transform the street into homes fit for Armed Forces veterans, as well as landscaped the surrounding streets.
We assisted Cumbrian flood victims during a clean-up operation, whereby a number of our men helped out on the ground in Keswick, delivering much needed supplies provided by Ground Control.
We are led by our commitment to our people and passion to improve our environment, and are active in contributing to a wide range of projects to create a safer environment for the local community and residents.
Our motto of "caring for our environment" is something we take seriously and hope to pass on to each community we connect with.
Helping the younger generation, we are taking a leading role in the development of the new Trailblazer apprenticeship scheme; a new nationwide Government run scheme for the Arboriculture, Forestry, Horticulture and Landscape industries. We are extremely committed in helping people develop the skills to progress, and are proud to be inputting to aid the development of the younger generation and the future of the horticulture and landscape industries.
We reach out to as many vulnerable or unfortunate people as possible, and take part in a variety of annual charity events including Macmillan's Coffee Morning, Comic Relief and the Birkett's Race4Business. To date, we have donated over £100,000 to charitable causes.
Corporate Memberships

Postcolonial Romanticisms: Landscape and the Possibilities of Inheritance (Postcolonial Studies 10 New edition)By: Roy Osamu Kamada (author)Hardback
Special OrderSpecial Order item not currently available. We'll try and order for you.
DescriptionPostcolonial Romanticisms: Landscape and the Possibilities of Inheritance describes the production of a new and particular kind of postcolonial text and resituates the notion of literary influence in the context of postcolonial literatures. This book addresses the ways in which Derek Walcott, Garrett Hongo, and Jamaica Kincaid have appropriated aspects of "colonial" culture and how they deploy the tropes of British Romanticism in their own texts. Postcolonial Romanticisms argues that Walcott, Hongo, and Kincaid radically reimagine and rewrite the various traditions that have figured their island landscapes as unhistoricized, unoccupied, and marginal. The landscapes that they write about are necessarily politicized; their own subjectivities are intimately implicated in both the natural beauty as well as the traumatic history of place; they confront and engage to varying degrees the history of their postcolonial geographies, the history of diaspora, of slavery, of the capitalist commodification of the landscape, and the devastating consequences this history has on the individual. These postcolonial writers confront what Derek Walcott calls the "shards of an ancient pastoral", the literal and literary remains of colonial cultural authority that clutter their landscapes. Postcolonial Romanticisms is ideally suited for courses in cultural, literary, and postcolonial studies, specifically courses in world literature, global literature, postcolonial literature, Caribbean literature, contemporary poetry, and eco-literary studies.
About AuthorRoy Osamu Kamada is Assistant Professor in the Writing, Literature and Publishing Department at Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts. He received his Ph.D. in English literature from the University of California, Davis. He has taught literature and creative writing at Emerson College, the University of Virginia, the University of California, Davis, and for the Kearny St. Workshop.

The morning began partly sunny today but by the time I reached the lakeshore at Algoma a few hours later, heavy cloud cover hung over the lake for as far as the eye could see.
However, as I set to capturing a group of gulls waiting for breakfast to swim by in the water below the pier, a ray of sun broke through the clouds illuminating the birds and highlighting the ominous dark bands stretching across the sky.

Toni Packer was in her final illness when I first visited the Springwater Center, and I was unable to interview her. I did, however, interview two of the retreat facilitators who carried on her work. The first was Wayne Coger, who had been a student at the Rochester Center before Toni left. I asked him what caused the break between Toni Packer and Philip Kapleau, and he answered cautiously:
"I'll give you my interpretation, but I must stress that this is only my interpretation. While she was at the Center, Toni was asked to be available to meet with students who were having emotional or relationship difficulties. This would free Roshi Kapleau to focus his energies specifically on Zen practice. So everything outside of practice was delegated to Toni. My sense is that she began to see that there was a disconnect. People were going to sesshin, having fantastic experiences, building up incredible energy, battling through koans or being frustrated by koans, and at the same time experiencing difficulties with their emotions, their partner, their roommates, and their ordinary life. There was sorrow and suffering evidenced around life situations, illnesses, break-ups, our everyday concerns. Toni began to question whether this division between life situations and practice was really necessary or actual, whether there really was a separation. So the question became (these are my words) 'Could there be a way of working that doesn't make that distinction? Could we take the everyday situation, the thing that's bugging us right now, and let that be the koan?' In this way we could question, meditatively look into our reactions, our fears and our everyday concerns."

text: Python is an easy-to-use programming language which, thanks to a growing number of cool extension modules, is really taking off in the world of scientific data handling. The Proj4 libraries are a set of programs for performing coordinate system transformations. Both are open source, so you are free to install them on as many computers as you want and to share them with your friends. I had been using both for a while but only recently discovered the pyproj module that performs coordinate transformations inside Python itself. It makes life very easy. The easiest way to get pyproj is as part of the Matplotlib Basemap package. On Ubuntu Linux, this can be installed with the command: sudo apt-get install python-mpltoolkits.basemap The first step is to define pyproj 'objects' to represent the coordinate systems that you want to use. These can be defined using the Proj notation (see Proj4 documentation for details) but it is easier to set up commonly-used projections by referring to their standard code numbers. These are called EPSG codes and can be looked up on spatialreference.org. In most cases, you will want to change between coordinate systems. This is even the case with GPS or GoogleEarth data, which use the specific WGS84 datum. Coordinate system changes are done with the transform function. Pyproj can be installed with a single command on recent Linux systems (sudo apt-get install python-pyproj). For other systems, check out the pyproj website. If you are playing with coordinate transforms, then it is likely that at some point you are going to want plot stuff on a map. Python can do maps, too, check out the rest of the Matplotlib Basemap module. People working in the UK may have to go through another step to convert their data into the British National Grid format (BNG), which uses two-letter codes to define 100km-wide square regions instead of presenting the full 13-figure coordinates. Thus Arthur's Seat, an extinct volcano in the centre of Edinburgh, has a BNG grid reference of NT2755072950. Below is a Python module that carries out the second step for you. Save the code as 'BNG.py' in a directory where Python can find it. Note: The script below was updated to fix a rounding error on 4 October 2013. If you downloaded the code before then, you should replace it with the updated version below. The function converts between a BNG grid reference as a string, and a tuple of OSGB36 (x,y) coordinates. When converting to BNG coordinates, there is an opportunity to specify how many figures to use. Note: the coordinate transform between WGS84 and OSGB36 is complicated by some distortions in the British National Grid. This is mainly important for high-precision work such as surveying or construction, and is described by the National Grid Transformation, OSTN02. To get the most accurate results, give Proj a datum shift grid file that describes the offsets. Hi, Recently I got stuck while transforming an everest transverse mercator Projected Coordinate System which has GCS_Everest as GCS, into WGS84(a vector file direcly digitized and obtained from Google Earth). The problem seemed really an easy one to solve. I undefined one of the projections and redefined it and later reprojected as the desired one. However, got no results. I have tried numerous other ways to do it. The problem here is I have two shapefiles in two different projections. If I had raster images, it was not a problem. I have been doing some reading on EPSG codes and trying to find an application to run on Python.Any help would be appreciated ESRI:37006: GCS Everest Modified 1969 ESRI:37202: GCS Everest Bangladesh ESRI:37203: GCS Everest India Nepal You can click each to get the proj4 details, e.g. +proj=longlat +a=6377276.345 +b=6356075.41314024 +no_defs You can use GDAL (www.gdal.org) to reproject different data types. It contains the OGR package which is used on vector data. You can also control GDAL via Python, although I haven't tried myself, yet. I'd like to propose you have a bug in your code (and a fix for it). I really think that np.round() is the wrong operation at line 141 in the code. My justification is twofold: 1) See the link provided, and watch the video. The BNG notation does not really identify points. Rather, it identifies squares. So you shouldn't "round" a point to the "next nearest point", rather, you should "floor" the value to find the grid square that contains the point — since that grid square is identified by it's southwest (lower left) corner. 2) The code (as written as of this posting) produced non-sensical results for certain inputs, such as from_osgb36((529900, 199900), nDigits=4). This results in TQ30100. The "100" portion of "TQ30100" is clearly wrong for nDigits = 4. I suggest the correct answer — using floor() — is TQ2999. However, if you insist on rounding, note that "bumps" you to the next tile north, an the correct BNG would be TL3000 (note "TL" instead of "TQ"). Source.

Myspace Layout Design (Flash)
Bajet $250-750 USD
I need a talented graphic designer to design a myspace page for a hip hop artist based around the look of Grand Theft Auto 4. Drawing skillz will be a plus, but the page will have to include flash and be based with backgrounds that can be sent to you, or that you already have, of the city of New Orleans. I would like to base the color scheme around black,red,and gray but any suggestions will definitely be taken into consideration. I would like the photos to be cartoon drawn close to the actual photos i send you or be digitally rendered to a look that is somewhat close to the Grand Theft Auto cover.

Daily Tips for Good Oral Health
Bacteria can live in your mouth in the form of plaque, causing cavities and gingivitis, which can lead to periodontal (gum) disease. In order to keep your mouth clean, you must practice good oral hygiene every day.
What is plaque?
Plaque is a sticky layer of material containing bacteria that accumulates on teeth, including where toothbrushes can't reach. Many of the foods you eat cause the bacteria in your mouth to produce acids. Sugary foods are obvious sources of plaque, but there are others that you might not realize can cause harm. Starches—such as bread, crackers, and cereal—also cause acids to form. Plaque also produces substances that irritate the gums, making them red, sensitive, and susceptible to bleeding. This can lead to gum disease, in which gums pull away from the teeth and form pockets that fill with bacteria and pus. If the gums are not treated, the bone around the teeth can be destroyed and teeth may become loose or have to be removed.
How can I get rid of plaque?
The best way to remove plaque is by brushing and cleaning between your teeth every day. Brushing removes plaque from the tooth surfaces. Brush your teeth twice per day with a soft-bristled brush. The size and shape of your toothbrush should fit your mouth and allow you to reach all areas easily. Use an antimicrobial toothpaste containing fluoride, which helps protect your teeth from decay. Clean between the teeth once a day with floss or interdental cleaners to remove plaque from between the teeth, where the toothbrush can't reach. Flossing is essential to prevent gum disease.
How do I brush and floss my teeth?
The American Dental Association recommends the following techniques for brushing and flossing your teeth:
• Place your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle against the gums.
• Move the brush back and forth gently in short (tooth-wide) strokes.
• Brush the outer tooth surfaces, the inner tooth surfaces, and the chewing surfaces of the teeth.
• Use the tip of the brush to clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, using a gentle up-and-down stroke.
• Brush your tongue to remove bacteria and freshen your breath.
• Break off about 18 inches of floss and wind it around the middle fingers of each hand. Hold the floss tightly between your thumbs and forefingers.
• Guide the floss between your teeth using a gentle rubbing motion.
• When the floss reaches the gum line, curve it into a C shape against one tooth. Gently slide it into the space between the gum and the tooth.
• Bring the floss back toward the contact point between the teeth and move the floss up or down the other side, conforming the floss to the shape of the tooth.
• Hold the floss tightly against the tooth. Gently rub the side of the tooth, moving the floss away from the gum with up-and-down motions.
• Repeat this method on the rest of your teeth.
Is there anything else I can use to clean my mouth?
A mouth rinse, in addition to daily brushing and flossing, can increase the cleanliness of your mouth. Antimicrobial mouth rinses reduce bacteria and plaque activity, which cause gingivitis and gum disease. Fluoride mouth rinses also help reduce and prevent tooth decay. Always talk to your dentist about any new products you are interested in trying. Not everyone should use a fluoride mouth rinse. For instance, fluoride rinses are not recommended for children ages 6 or younger because they may swallow them. Always check the manufacturer's label for precautions and age recommendations and talk with your dentist about the use of fluoride mouth rinse.

Daddy was raking leaves, we were out taking pictures, and all of the sudden....
Has anyone seen Tillie?
And then from inside the bag you hear: "Mama, I'm peeking. Peek me, Mama".
This is the story of two people making their way through love, life and marriage--nesting if you will. The trials, the celebrations and the mishaps along the way.
Now that is funny! Wait til she hides in the inflatable balloon which leads to an air chase and possible reality show.
Uncle Todd
Pretty crafty little girl that Til is!!!!
Ahhhh - so cute!!! I cannot believe how much of a little girl she is. She's growing up so fast. Love all of her cute sayings/doings!

Good Morning,
Today I would like share some items that are apparently trending this year.
This year Adult Coloring books are all the rage, and I own five or six. There are all kinds of coloring books out there, and there are even instruction books on the designs called "Tangles" or "Zentangles", draw and color your own designs.
The cell phone, the personal accessory now has accessories of its own. How about something unique for the Cell-Selfie-Text addict you know? These adorable Ear-Phone Jacks protectors (dust guard) are available at Amazon and come in several styles. I like the elephant. Fun, affordable and more bling to ring about.
Know a Do-It-Yourselfer? How about a fun kit in their favorite hobby or crafting passion. I love to knit and these kits are just adorable. You can find them on Etsy, and they include, animals, mythological creatures and dinosaurs. Clever and cute. (I want one).
Geeks, we all know one, and sometimes they have best toys. Like this Mine Craft cellphone charger as sold on ThinkGeek.
Because presents should be personal, check out the Personalization Mall, they have great items like this unique Jewelry Box that can be customized and totally affordable at $34.00.
Thank you for stopping in and having a look.
The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day.

I have noticed in this last week Brian has slept more and is just so quiet. I know he is normally quite and withdrawn but it seems so much more this week.
Nothing seems to get a reaction out of him at the moment no frustration no joy nothing. He just sits there with a hound dog expression like a child that has had his sweets taken away.
It's got so bad i feel like shaking him and saying snap out of it smile for god sake all things i know he can't do. Janexx

Chilli challenge videos are coming in thick and fast these days and do you know what? I'm still not tired of them. Nothing beats watching a moron go into an absolute meltdown by eating a hot chilli out of choice. Makes me realise that I'm not so dumb after all.
Featured Image VIA
The guy in this video, Ted Barrus, decided it would be a good idea to film himself bonging a Carolina Reaper. The clue is in the name – this is the world's hottest chilli pepper. Some say it shouldn't be eaten, let alone smoked. Needless to say, it didn't end too well for Ted:
That does not look like a good time, although what was he expecting? No doubt his insides are going to be fucked up for the next few days now. Good one mate.

I've been a writer since age 2, when I scrawled a series of EKG-like pencil traces on the inside cover of my father's copy of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (sorry Dad).
My first paid piece of writing was published in 1978 when I was 19: a feature on the Canadian Student Film Festival which appeared in Cinema Canada magazine. I was paid probably about $25. I had turned pro!
Since then I have practiced journalism, scriptwriting, copywriting, editing, and technical writing for a large corporation—oh yes, and fiction-writing. Now, with the advent of e-books and this website, I am also a publisher, and very glad to be one.
I was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, and live in North Vancouver with my wife Kim.

Leica has announced the availability of a new firmware update. This link will take you to the page that will allow you to download the software, pdf instructions and the pdf description of all the new and updated functions.
Highlights include 1 to 1 aspect ratio, white balance enhancements, exposure compensation, lens resume, red eye removal, message display and user name record. I have just updated my camera and will discuss these additions in a later blog.
Today I'm sharing some crops and macro shots that I took on Friday and Saturday. The first shot is a crop of a mushroom hidden among the garden plants.
The next two pictures are a close up of the center of a orchid. Scary looking and beautiful all at the same time. The color rendition shows the color changes that occur as the flower nears the end of its life cycle.
The black and white version of the photograph was done in a antique style that has a softness to it and does not show the ravages of fleeting life.
Just for fun I'm adding this high resolution photograph of a lone leaf with rain drops on it. Mouse click on the (+) in the upper right corner to see it full screen. If the image does not appear click the center button just to the left of the (+) button.

Before my previous stay at Harefield, when I had diagnostic surgery, I checked the web site to see what I should take into hospital. I've just done it again. The list is minimal. One specific is liquid soap only; no bars of soap or soap dishes. I suppose that makes sense since nasty bacteria could very easily make a warm cosy home in a grubby soap dish.
Before the procedure last time I had to wash myself and my hair in a hospital-provided anti-baterial liquid soap and render myself a suitably sterile sacrifice to the surgeon's knife. I assume it will be much the same this time.
One of the reasons why staff don't like people to bring a large number of items with them is the time it takes in admin when a patient is moved from one ward to another. It takes two members of staff to complete the procedure, one nurse to make a list of all the items, the other checking it, both signing to say that it's correct, before the belongings are passed to the next ward.
So this time my list will be minimal. As there's a bit less of me now than there was, I'm just going to check that my pyjamas (bought specially for last time) will actually stay up when I'm on the move!

Recently, people from different parts of the world has asked me the same question.
"How do i get rid of my ego!?"
I looked at the sky and noticed that only the colour of the clouds will make the sky speaks.
The traffic light is there to reminding all the drivers and predestrian pay attention while they are on the road, it never carries any meaning to ask you "dont step on the road"!?
People may mis interrupt or panic to signs sometimes.
Fiction is always shared the biggest population in the market, because the dramas, a bit of exageration and limitless fantacies fullfilled our desires.
