Columbus Day focuses on the beginning of the Age of Exploration which shaped History as we know it. Whether or not Columbus was good or bad doesn't change the his action of bridging the gap between the New World and the Old. Without Columbus, modern institutions as they are wouldn't exist and Western Civilization would have taken a different turn.
Many may argue that Columbus doesn't deserve to be celebrated and that he is a killer and rapist but what you call home today is because of Columbus. Columbus wasn't the first person to discover America but he was the one who took action and brought our men here and started a trade going. Many people don't have the courage to start something that big. Columbus changed the world. We can at least celebrate him for one day to honor what he has done for us.

Of course we should celebrate Columbus Day! We live in great country today. Columbus wasn't the first to discover America but he was the first to start an expedition and help us move here. Columbus was brave and started something huge. Something many people would have never done and for that reason i think Columbus deserves not only some honor and pride but just 1 out of 365 days to just be appreciated.
- Tanya Drozdov
Period 1
We wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for Columbus. He did what many told him he couldn't. Discover the new world. Yes he made mistakes along the way that he couldn't foresee. Columbus Day will always be a holiday. You can't take away culture and tradition that one man discovered. You can only celebrate it!
Yes we should celebrate Columbus Day.One can think of many "reasons" to stop celebrating any hoiliday - Mother's Day for example was apparently created by the greeting card industry as an example of crass commercialism.
Columbus Day represents the discovery of North America by western civilization - while we realize that the continent had previously been discovered by Asians (native Americans) and later by the Norse; North America is a continent formed by the sensibilities of western civilization and we merely seek to commemorate the event.Must everything be a point of contention!
Yes we should celebrate Columbus Day. He found the land that we now call home. Until his 1492 journey the home of The United States was unfound to the world. He accomplished a great feat and honestly forever changed the world by proving the Earth was not flat. He took a big chance in sailing, people thought he was nuts for trying to prove this.
Yes he may have done some stuff that is bad like being gritty and supporting slave trade, but he was the one that had the idea in the first place, and if he didn't make the voyage and he didn't leave the comfort of home we might not be here in America. Or it would have taken longer and we wouldn't be as advanced as we are today. The would could have been flat for all we know. Just saying....
Dominic Owens
Period 1
I think Columbus Day should be a holiday because he sparked discoveries for America. Even if he could have treated the natives better. Nobody else would have came over to America unless Columbus. Were they not jealous of the Spanish? Is that not why all the other Europeans went over. Columbus sparked discovery.
Even if he wasn't the first person to entirely discover America, he was the one who started the expedition and we wouldn't be here if it weren't for him. Sure he made mistakes along the way but he was the start of something huge, him and his crews discovery led to advances and a better life for people in the long run.
-Taylor Hartt period1
It's celebrated like any other annual holiday, such as Martin Luther King Day, President's Day, Mother's Day, and so on. Columbus is a very recognizable figure in making the voyage to the American continents. But he wasn't the first person to discover it, since there were Native Americans already inhabiting the continent. He didn't set foot on North America itself but landed on the Bahamas to start his work there. We should continue to celebrate this day for his accomplishments on sea, not for the way he treated the inhabitants on that land.
I live in England and I did a very through research on Columbus. Columbus did discover new parts of the world such as parts of South America, however, in many of his letters, Columbus only ever refers to the natives as items of a trade not even has humans, in one account there is someone describing a rape of the natives. Columbus was even responsible for an epidemic of Syphilis which killed many people. Columbus had poor management skills in which on the island of Hispaniola, many of his men were killed due to rebellion from the natives due to mistreatment by his men. Columbus even thought the world was pear shaped. This guy is truly crazy and was driven by the power of greed.
Christopher Columbus is just plainly not a good man, or sailor. He was terrible to his crew and to the native people of America. His greed and lust for treasure, like all explorers, drove him. American textbooks always make it seem like he was an important man, first to discovery America, first to prove the world isn't flat. For one, by 1492, if you still believed the world was flat, you were considered an idiot. People knew well before the world wasn't flat. The Vikings had already reached America long before Columbus, and to tell you the truth, if he never sailed the ocean blue, someone else would have. Columbus does not deserve a holiday. A weird thing to note, only Christopher Columbus and Martin Luther King Jr. Have American holidays named after them. All others are basic titles, like presidents day, which represents Washington and Lincoln.
Columbus is basically an overrated American hero people keep trying to make good.
Christopher Columbus shouldn't have taken the native americans land ! The Native Americans didn't deserve to be enslaved and be treated the way they did ! Christopher Columbus stole their land , killed them , and worked them to death !! . Columbus faked friendships with the Tiano people just to use them for the land . Columbus did nothing to help the Native Americans . He didn't even discover america the Vikings did but they didn't be gritty they got what they needed and then they left . Columbus didn't do anything but hurt and work those poor native people to the death of them . And he has the nerve THE NERVE !!! To call them Indians without even getting to meet them and finiding out what their real culture is ? WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD STILL WANT TO CELEBRATE COLUMBUS DAY ? Think of it as you were in the poor native peoples shoes ? You wouldn't know how they felt beiing bossed around on their own land something that they found first and he is going to just take it from them and he has the nerve to be called a hero ! Columbus is nothing but a jerk and he doesn't deserve this holiday Columbus day . I rather go to school then celebrate demeaning holiday that nobody should care about .
No. He was a greedy person who didn't treat the Native people as HUMANS, and ordered his men to rape women and set dogs on infants and cut people's hands off. HE WAS TERRIBLE AND COLUMBUC DAY SHOULD NOT BE CELEBRATED. Hilter made an impact; does he get a day of celebration??? I don't think so.
I do not think that we should celebrate Christopher Columbus because he was not the first to find the Americas. A viking named Leif Ericson founded the Americas 500 years earlier. Columbus and his gang brought disease to the Americas. Causing death and illness from the small pox disease. Small pox originated from live stock. It made the population decrease tragically because of death.
But some people think otherwise. This person on debate.Org says, "Many may argue that Columbus doesn't deserve to be celebrated and that he is a killer and rapist but what you call home today is because of Columbus." Which can be true, but Leif Ericson discovered the Americas 500 years prior, so someone other than Christopher Columbus new there was more than just one land out there. Columbus and his gang did bring the Americas livestock and varieties of vegetables and fruit, but he also brought disease and treated the people wrong.
We all learn how in 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue, but what we are failed to be told in 1st grade wearing our paper pilgrim hats is that months after he killed and raped the natives, started slavery, and in fact did not discover America. So what exactly are we celebrating? Although the person behind the name is not exactly worth idolizing, Columbus represents a bigger idea than that. Columbus day represents a spread of culture and the begging of the new world we know today. Columbus's personality does not change the fact the he bridged the gap between two worlds and started a universal culture. His name today represents the beginning of the age of exploration, where ideas flourished and curiosity bloomed. I believe Columbus Day should be celebrated, but it should be renamed to exploration day. So we are more clearly and accurately describing what we are celebrating.
Many people who are not informed of what Columbus did, celebrate what they think he did. They think he discovered the Americas and made the world as it is today. That is not completely true. He came to the Americas and completely took over. He cut off people's hands and let them bleed to death in the beach. He also killed anyone in his way of getting gold, land, resources, and other materials that Europe needed. In my opinion I do not think that we should celebrate happily, we should be mournful that our generations before us were cruel and greedy enough to kill everyone in their way just to get whatever they wanted.
Why should we be celebrating Columbus if we don't even know everything about his journey? Everyone might think that he was amazing but sorry to be a buzz kill...HE'S NOT. He slaughtered and stole and was a horrible person in total. He disrespected the natives and spat on them as if they're trash when all they wanted to do was help. Do you really want to be celebrating some one like that???

I say this because I found out that Christopher Columbus had token the Native Americans land.The native Americans were slaved to do his work. Christopher Columbus used the Taino people just for their land. Christopher Columbus Didn't Discovered The Native Americans the Vikings Discovered them first and got what they needed from them and left. Christopher Columbus work them to death and killed them. Christopher Columbus treated them wrong. I don't think that he deserved to be celebrated.

Apparently, the first thing those nasty Psychlos did when they conquered Earth was destroy all our lightbulbs. The cads!
And that's one of the least ludicrous aspects of "Battlefield Earth," an underlit, overlong, underwritten and overloud albatross of a movie based on a book by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, who dabbled in sci-fi in his spare time.
Scientology is one of those groups (or cults, or religions, or coffee klatches, whatever you want to call it) that tend to bring otherwise rational people to blows. For many, nothing associated with Scientology can be good, and for months they've proclaimed that "Battlefield Earth" is evil, that it'll warp minds, that it's no more than a recruiting film.

Panciuto: The Piedmont of Hillsborough?
After reading some good things about Panciuto (110 South Churton St.) on Chowhound and a couple of other places, I decided it was time to make the short trip out to old town Hillsborough to give it a shot. We normally don't write about places outside of Durham, but Hillsborough is awesome so it is OK.
I instantly fell in love with the place, for all the same reasons I fell in love with the idea of Piedmont and continue to give it ample opportunities to redeem itself after several bad dining experiences. Like Piedmont, Panciuto is quaint, dimly lit, and filled with exposed brick. They use almost all local produce, and the menu is pretty innovative (for Italian, at least).
When we first arrived they were extremely busy and our table wasn't ready yet. When we were eventually seated, the hostess (who owns the place with her husband — the chef), brought us a free glass of champagne to apologize. Good.
We had several appetizers, which were all very good. For my main course I ordered the squid ink spaghetti with crumbled sausage, which was good but not exceptional. For the price, I left feeling my money would have been better spent at Magnolia Grill or Bonne Soiree. However, Panciuto has several things going for it — the atmosphere is way better than Magnolia, this area seriously lacks a high-end Italian place, and the wine list was extremely reasonably priced.
Unfortunately, we had an additional problem with our waitress. She seemed to be having some sort of personal crisis, and we experienced the most inattentive service I can remember in the past several years. However, this can happen to anyone, so as long as it was an isolated incident I won't hold it against them. I would be curious to hear about anyone else's experience.
I will probably return. If you are looking for something new and feel like dropping some coin on a dinner in a really nice (romantic, even) atmosphere, give Panciuto a shot. However, if for some reason I needed to ensure the meal would be very good to excellent, I would stick with the local favorites.

I had to do my Ash Wednesday lesson last week. The reason for that is because tomorrow, on Ash Wednesday, we'll be in mass for class. I like the kids to know ahead of time what it's all about and what to expect at mass. While I was planning my lesson last week, I came across some great materials that I'd like to share with you. I'm going to start with the first lesson for Lent with Ash Wednesday. Then, I'll do one for Lent itself and then I'll do one for Holy Week, and I'll conclude with Easter. So if you need lesson helps….stay tuned!!
There's a Bible study lesson for Ash Wednesday. You might also want to know that they have them for each cycle, in case you want to use them in the future. You can find a great coloring page at CatholicMom.com and if you browse around, you'll find more materials that can be used in class or at home. There is also a spirit of Ash Wednesday coloring page to print out.
If you're interested in finding out more about Ash Wednesday to enhance your lesson or give more information to the kids, go to Associated Content to find several related articles. Find out What is Ash Wednesday? from About.com and get answers to some of your questions or questions from the kids.
There are a couple of great coloring pages, including separate ones for a girl or boy receiving their ashes. You can find lots of great printables to use at home or in school too. There's no lack of coloring pages!! You can find another here.
I can't totally leave Lent out of this section though. Since Ash Wednesday is the 1st day of Lent, you might be interested in some of these resources. I found this great printable Lenten calendar for children. The same blog has one other activity to start at the beginning of Lent for almsgiving. You can also find some crafty Lent preparation ideas. There's also a fantastic Lenten path available to print in color or b/w.
One can find a Lenten Prayer Challenge or Lenten Activity Calendar for mission that could suit many purposes. Finally, there's no way to leave Laura off a list of resources!!
There really is so much out there for Lent if you look. And when you do find something, they have so many possibilities if you don't just look at the obvious. One of my favorite searches was all the calendars for Lent. They can be made in so many ways and of so many things. So many great family and kid projects!!
What you find here is just a small portion of the resources available. Unfortunately, it takes quite a bit of looking to find them. Maybe this can be the year that we take a stand and make it "cool" to go to dinner with ashes on your forehead or sacrifice something that means the most (to them)…..like cell phones!!
More to come to make a great Lent season!!

Christina Samuels, she specializes in writing about early childhood and special education, writes a great article discussing why special education numbers have been on the rise in the United States since 2012 after decrease each year since 2005.
It is a great read that summarizes the changes in statistics, reasons for the shift, and for why they numbers may be rising. She also discusses funding special education and the impacts that the shift has on states. Interestingly, it has been 16 years since the anyone has analyzed special education spending!
I find this alarming because what if there are better, more efficient ways to serve these students but as a country we do not know where, how the money is spent. I am confident that each district tracks this information carefully but what if there was a more efficient way to distribute, allocate this funding and we are missing out on that opportunity?
Here is a link to the Ed Week Special Education blog as well that provides tons of great information!

Pusha T & Ava DuVernay Discuss the Importance of '13th' Documentary | Complex –view interview
Eva DuVernay's new documentary film, 13th, speaks to so many of the issues that have emerged in our ongoing public Mass Incarceration series, here at the YWCA Southern Arizona.The Next Session will take place on Wednesday, November 16th from 6-8pm at our Frances McClelland Community Center, 525 N. Bonita Avenue, Tucson, AZ 85745.Our last speaker of the 2016 cycle, will be Caroline Isaacs of the American Friends Service Committee. She will be speaking about Sentencing Reform.
We hope that you will join us for this conversation if you are able.
A Brief History of the Convict Lease System:
A Precursor to our Modern Prison Slavery System
Much of the discourse going on at the YWCA of Southern Arizona is about the current prison system and the exploitation of prisoners for free labor. This current issue mirrors the often hidden history of the convict lease system that occurred after the Civil War in the period from 1865 to 1928.
The 13th amendment abolished slavery however; this would be undermined in a variety of ways. One of the ways it was undermined was by the prison system because of a clause in the 13th amendment. The 13th amendment states, "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime whereof the party shall have been dully convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction"[1]. The 13th amendment made it perfectly legal to use convict labor, another form of slave labor.
Prisons had been virtually destroyed by the Civil War. Thus, southern governments came up with the convict lease system, a system where they leased out convicts to corporations to use for free labor. This could be a brick factory, a coalmine, a railroad system, or even a farm. Once leased business owner controlled the convict's life and they could do anything they wanted to the convict. The injustices suffered within the convict lease system were equal to those suffered by slaves before the war[2]. And make no mistake these convicts were primarily African American.
But it's okay because they were criminals, right? Most of the convicts were not in fact, criminals. The "Black Codes", were a series of laws passed after the Civil War. These laws restricted the activity of African Americans and they could and would be imprisoned for frivolous offenses. Bernard Kinsey, a descendent, describes the convict lease system saying, "And when I say convict I don't even mean convict, I mean people who did no more than walk down the street and were picked up when the magistrate was coming tomorrow"[3]. In other words, normal behavior was criminalized for African Americans. Hundreds of thousands of African Americans were exploited with the convict lease system.
It is important to be aware of this because many people think slavery died with the 13th amendment and the Civil War. That is not the case; it has existed in our country for decades and continues to exist in our current prison system to this day. We need to examine history to be able to examine where we stand today.

Vlaar (knee) and Cissokho (ankle) were not risked in Wednesday's 1-0 Capital One Cup defeat to Leyton Orient.
Jores Okoré is sidelined although he is only expected to be out for a number of days while Christian Benteke (Achilles) and Libor Kozak (broken leg) remain out. Brad Guzan will replace Shay Given in goal after being rested in midweek.
Meanwhile, Hull's new signing Michael Dawson could make an immediate debut as the Tigers look to put their Europa League disappointment behind them.
Dawson would be a like-for-like replacement for James Chester, who is suspended after last week's red card against Stoke.
Manager Steve Bruce made six changes for the midweek clash against Lokeren and should restore the likes of Tom Huddlestone, Nikica Jelavic, Andrew Robertson and Tom Ince to his starting XI.
Match Notes
Paul Lambert and cup competitions go together like wine and strychnine and yet another humiliation has put the boot into the feel-good factor.
Lambert must make sure Villa's shock exit to Leyton Orient is not allowed to damage early optimism created by an unbeaten start to the league season.
Steve Bruce is also smarting over a premature exit from the Europa League and will demand a rapid response from his expensively assembled squad.

Pharma deserves a jury unto itself
The fact that the Cannes Lions folks decided to give healthcare its own event (and within that, pharma its own jury) says a lot about the uniqueness of the industry. But was it the right thing to do? A few days ago, I put this question to an esteemed member of the pharma jury, Alexandra von Plato, president and global chief creative officer at Digitas Health. "I think we're going to find out," she said. "The complexity around the pharma environment needs to be considered, and it needs the experience to really understand what are the issues, opportunities and constraints. There is some fantastic and important work being done, but if you were to mix that work into the general show, I don't think it would have a fair chance. So I very much respect and appreciate that Cannes has given consideration to this work."

Tag: Enema
Daddy Gives His Little Girl an Enema
Between both of our busy schedules I have not been able to give my little girl an enema for quite some time. A few months ago at Efest West I bought some organic coffee grounds to give her a coffee enema on a special occasion. I figured now was the time since it had been so long.
I called her earlier in the day and asked her not to drink anything with a lot of caffeine in it. I did not want her to get a caffeine overload since I know that she does not drink it regularly. As some of you may or may not know, things put up the butt absorb into the body more quickly and fully then ingesting it.
When I arrived we spent a little time chatting and catching up on our week. I told her it was time for her enema. I started off playing with her pussy and ass. It's been awhile since we had done any anal play other then enemas and I felt like I was falling down on my butt play responsibilities with her. I think we both got a little over zealous playing with both her holes at once and stretched her poor little butthole a little too fast. So needless to say that part ended a little sooner than I would have liked.
So we moved on to the first enema of two this evening. This one was just a plain water one with a bit of soap. She took it like a trooper as always. Although I have to say with hardly any complaining, this might explain a bit of what happened later on. After she expelled the first enema we played around with a little fucking, gagging, and choking.
I decided it was time for the coffee one. I started to boil the coffee in some water and let it cook for a good eight minutes. Once it had cooled down a little I had her poor it through a coffee filter while I held it over the bag.
I started to give her the enema when I realized something was wrong with my rig. The inline bulb that I use was not working properly. It seems as though the one-way valve in it stopped working. That bummed me out but I had one of the sexiest asses I have ever known waiting for her enema, so I ripped the bulb out and pressed on.
Once she had at least half of the enema in I started to play with her pussy again. I got her so worked up that she was begging to have Daddy's cock in her. And then a though came to mind, I knew how to make her start complaining and yet not want me to stop. She was lying on her back on this futon like chair; I had been fucking her for a few minutes already. I pulled her legs up to her chest and rested my weight on them while I continued to fuck her even more and harder. She started whimpering and whining about how her tummy hurt and I would just respond with ether "I can stop fucking you if you like" or "I'll stop once the bag is empty. To the first one she would say no, as I suspected. I know my little girl very well and she would live with Daddy's cock in her 24/7 if she could. To the second one she would say how could she take anymore with Daddy pushing into her stomach like that, and I would of course say "who's problem is that?."
We continued our little fun until the bag was empty. I knew she would suck the water in no matter what I did to her. My little girl loves her enemas and would never want to waste one no matter what!

Forget the whole democracy thing,
Lets have two reality t.v. shows to see who should run for each party (democrat and republican) nationwide and then a third local newstation can run one for the green party (if they are still around) in oregon, washington and california.
Think about the drama, business advangelists weighing their options on how to coax each other into getting John Doe voted out of the office. They can have political challanges and they will get into slap fights...
Ohhh I would watch it!

Lots of readers want to know what kind of response Slate has gotten to the "Seed" experiment so far. In case you missed it, here is the piece introducing the project, an effort to find the parents, children, and donors involved with the Repository for Germinal Choice, the "Nobel Prize" sperm bank started by Robert Graham in the late '70s.
The short answer: The Internet works, and so does anonymity. Thanks to the Net's incredible speed and enormous reach, we have heard from lots of people already. Thanks to the veil of privacy, we're hearing from people who otherwise never would have discussed this.
Last night, we posted an interview with a repository donor, "The Entrepreneur," who describes how Graham and his own girlfriend guilted him into donating sperm and tells why he doesn't ever think about his repository kids. Today we publish very interesting
Slate will get to several other stories soon. A mother called me Monday afternoon to tell me about her daughter: The mother wants Slate to help her find the donor. We will, next week. The relative of another mother is corresponding with me (with the mother's permission) about that mother's effort to find her child's donor. And I hope to meet with two other mothers later this week on a trip to Southern California.
I have also heard from another donor—more on that soon, I hope—a former employee of the repository, a friend of one of the repository kids, several women who tried and failed to get pregnant using the repository's supersperm, and the granddaughter of Dora Vaux, the repository's office manager, who died last year. (She writes, "My mom and I always got a giggle out of just the idea of my little Grammie working at a sperm bank and not only being there while the men were there to actually donate but actually soliciting very important men, high in their fields, to do such a thing. But the fact was, she had an incredible job and was really good at it judging by the number of donors she was able to recruit.")
But obviously we don't have anything like a cross-section of repository families and donors yet. That's why we hope to hear much more from you.
If you have a connection to the Repository for Germinal Choice—whether as donor, parent, or child—and you would like to share your story anonymously, please contact David Plotz by e-mail at email@example.com or by phone at (202) 862-4889.

British authorities say they will investigate allegations brought against Iraqi President Saddam Hussein by a London-based group researching alleged war crimes of the Iraqi government. The allegations charge the Iraq administration with taking more than 4,500 British citizens hostage during its 1990 invasion and occupation of Kuwait.
The London-based group, known as Indict, has provided evidence to British authorities alleging Saddam Hussein's government held several-thousand British citizens and other foreign nationals hostage before and during the 1991 Gulf War.
The group also charges that hundreds of those held in Iraq and Kuwait against their will were used as human shields to prevent attacks by a U.S.-led international coalition of forces. The case specifically targets President Saddam Hussein and Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz.
A leading British human rights activist, Ann Clwyd, who heads Indict, says a team of three researchers collected the evidence during the past 18 months. "They have collected evidence from all over the world," she said, "documentary evidence, video evidence, sworn statements from victims and so on."
Britain's attorney general voices doubts there is enough evidence at this point to prosecute but he has asked Scotland Yard to investigate.
Miss Clwyd insists there is enough evidence to prosecute Saddam Hussein. She also dismisses suggestions that, as a head of state, he would be immune from prosecution. "Our lawyers tell us we have sufficient evidence and we believe that Saddam Hussein and Tariq Aziz are not immune from prosecution," she said.
Miss Clwyd points to the war crimes case against former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic while he was still in office. She also cites Britain's 1999 legal ruling that former Chilean ruler Augusto Pinochet was not immune from prosecution, which she says set the precedent.
Some Iraqi exiles have complained that Indict should pursue a case against Saddam Hussein for his alleged abuse of Iraqis, rather than foreigners.
Indict receives U.S. funding to investigate Iraqi war crimes and human rights abuses. It was set up as part of U.S.-mandated assistance to Iraqi opposition forces trying to change the Baghdad government.

Dental sealants in Grand Prairie
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants consist of a plastic sealing material that is used to seal the exposed or occlusal surfaces of the molars and premolars (permanent rear teeth). The dental sealants protect the teeth from damage and decay due to bacteria and food acids.
Why are sealants needed?
Brushing and flossing primarily removes plaques and food particles from the smooth surfaces of teeth but are not able to reach the inner grooves and pits. Molars and premolars usually have deep grooves and fissures which are narrower that a single toothbrush bristle. Plaques can easily accumulate in such areas and attack the enamel of teeth, leading to tooth decay. To protect such areas of teeth from accumulating dental plaques, sealants are used to block such grooves and pits and thus provides extra protection to these locations.
Who should get sealants?
Children and teenagers are more susceptible to develop tooth decay during their developing years than adults. The molars and premolars erupt between the ages of 11 to 13 and this is the time when the chewing surfaces of these teeth may be sealed with sealants. Sealants are useful to prevent development of plaques in the cavity-prone years of children, typically between the ages of 6-14.
Dental sealants may also be useful for baby teeth as baby teeth may have nooks and crannies that are prone to develop decay. Baby teeth hold the space to allow growth of permanent teeth at a later stage and hence must be protected.
Dental sealants are not only placed on molars and premolars but if needed, may also be applied on other teeth which has fissures and grooves.
The Benefits of having sealants applied to our teeth:
- More than 90% of tooth decay occurs at the premolars and molars. The rear location of these teeth in the mouth cavity makes it difficult to reach with toothbrushes. The enamel in these teeth also appear to be thinner making them more prone to develop cavities.
- Molars and premolars are primarily used for chewing and grinding food and hence have a higher tendency developing plaques than teeth in other areas.
- Saliva which contains antiseptic chemicals is unable to reach the molars and premolars and thus these teeth do not benefit from salivary flow.
- The grooves and fissures in teeth are often too narrow to be reached by toothbrush bristles.
- The bacteria present in the grooves and fissures of these teeth may spill out and spread to infect other teeth.
- Fillings may also be used instead of dental sealants but sealants are also less costlier than dental fillings.
- Fluorides act on smooth surfaces but are not effective in the nooks and crannies of back teeth.
- Sealants provide a long term protection to teeth and are deemed completely safe even for children.
How Are Sealants Applied?
Application of dental sealants is an easy and simple procedure and usually not associated with pain. The steps of application of sealants are as follows:
- First the dentist cleans each tooth that will be sealed. All visible plaques and debris are cleared from the tooth.
- Next, the teeth to be cleaned are dried with the help of cotton or other absorbent material.
- The surface of the teeth is then treated with an acidic solution which will help the sealant bond with the teeth.
- The sealant is then applied on the enamel of the tooth and within a short period of time the sealant completely bonds with the enamel and hardens. Curing light may sometimes be used to allow the sealant to harden faster.
How long does dental sealants last?
Dental sealants have been in use since the 1970's and several scientific studies have proven their effectivity in preventing tooth decay. Once sealed, dental sealants may last up to a decade or more depending on the material of the sealant used. Regular visits to the dentist are required for inspection of the sealants and their status. If sealants in certain areas chip or wear off, the dentist may correct the flaws with sealant replacement.
Does treatment with dental sealants means teeth are completely protected against decay?
Dental sealants only protect the top surface of teeth while the other surfaces are still exposed to decay. Brushing or flossing of teeth and use of fluorides are the other useful methods to keep teeth clear of plaques. Fluorides are usually present in drinking water and fluoride toothpastes but your dentist can also prescribe fluoride tablets, mouthrinse or gels if deemed necessary. However, even though fluorides protect the smooth surfaces of teeth, are unable to protect the chewing surfaces of back teeth. This is where the role of dental sealants become significant.
Is the cost of dental sealant covered by insurance?
The cost of dental sealants is calculated on a per tooth basis and the cost is the usually the same for all types of teeth, be it baby teeth or permanent teeth.
You also must also ask your dentist regarding the policies associated with dental sealants. What if the dental sealant flakes off within a short time span after it was integrated? In such cases, your dentist may provide a free replacement within a certain period of time after the sealing procedure was performed.
Many insurance companies do cover the cost of placement of dental sealants in Grand Prairie. You need to contact your insurance company to learn about their terms and regulations regarding such dental procedures.
Sealant programs
Often some dentists or tooth care companies organize camps where dental sealing for children are carried out for free or at a subsidized cost. You can keep track of the advertisements of such programs.
You can also enquire at your child's school, paediatrician, state's health department or dental board for information about such programs.

Noise - what's the problem?
How are workers harmed?
Loud machines and work tools can cause harm to workers' hearing. Hearing loss can also result from sudden loud noises, heavy loads being dropped, or heavy hammering. These types of noises are referred to as 'impact' noises and if loud enough, can cause immediate, permanent damage.
If you are working within a metre of someone and you have to shout to be heard, then it's likely that the noise level is excessive.
What can you do?
First you must always eliminate the risk where you're reasonably able to. Where you're not reasonably able to, then you need to consider what you can do to minimise the risk. Here are some examples:
- Ensure workers are not exposed to noise that exceeds the exposure standard.
- Arrange for a noise assessment if workers are exposed to excessive noise (such as workers have to raise their voices to communicate over a distance of one metre) and there is uncertainty as to whether workers' exposure may have exceeded the noise exposure standard.
- Eliminate or minimise the source of noise. Use noise insulated equipment (such as silence compressors), enclose or isolate noisy machinery, reduce vibration, use barriers to absorb and screens to block the direct path of sound, use silencers on air exhausts, exhaust pneumatics out of the area, buy the quietest tools/machinery available.
- Place warning signs in areas of excessive and continual noise (where workers' exposure is likely to exceed the exposure standard).
- Warn other workers nearby when you will be undertaking noisy work and advise them to move away or wear hearing protection.
- Provide hearing equipment, ensure it is worn at all times, and provide workers with audiometric testing. Employers should provide a choice of different types of hearing protection appropriate to the noise level in the workplace.
You need to select the most effective controls that are proportionate to the risk, and appropriate to your work situation.
Get your workers involved
- Ensure your workers know how to make suggestions, ask questions or raise concerns.
- Always ask your workers for input on identifying health and safety risks and how to eliminate or minimise them. People are more likely to take responsibility and make good decisions when they have been involved in the conversation. Your workers (including contractors and temps) are the eyes and ears of your business. They can help spot issues, and suggest practical, cost-effective solutions.
- Always train your workers on what the key risks are and how to keep healthy and safe.

I was very happy in our white townhouse at the bottom of the hill forest, next to the blueberry farms. After living at a busy intersection in the city, across the street from a fire station, at first the silence of that place was a heavy velvet. For six years, we basked in the home we created there, raising a quartet of blue-eyed babies. I confess it was with a heavy heart that I packed up, wondering if we had made the right decision to sell, to buy, to move our lives up the hill. What could be better on the other side? This is what we know, this is what we love, we have been happy here.
That first night in our new home, I watched the sun set out of the front window over the tops of the trees of the neighbourhood.
And I realized for the first time that I hadn't seen the sun set in six years.
For six years, I have lived at the bottom of the hill, tucked away from the sight of the sun setting in the west. For six years, I sort of forgot about the sunset, busy with babies who go to bed early, with the life we had, with books to read, with friends to call. I simply closed the blinds when it became dark, seeing a bit of light behind the trees so that they became a dark lace before me and it was enough beauty then.
Every day now in our blue-grey house, I slide the blinds to the top of the window, all the way up, and then I wait for this moment. I stand in the front room like the call to prayer has been issued, greedy for the colour and the end. I had forgotten how glorious it is to watch the day end, how could I have forgotten? how the indigo clouds sweep long and low across the horizon and the saturated heavy colour of fire and salmon and nectarines soak into the sky, how the pine trees turn black against them in the silhouette I know better than the freckles on my own face, how it changes and deepens as the night wears on until I'm standing alone in the dark, just a glow of a day remaining and the stars appearing, small galaxies burning so far away.
I think sometimes that this is the story I'll always tell – I had something precious once, I lost it or I left it or I forgot it or I threw it away or I disdained it or I journeyed far from it, and then I returned wiser and saner and better, as T.S. Eliot said, returned in order to know what I had in the beginning for the first time. We're all circling around the same stories, we all come home eventually even if we didn't realise just how far we had wandered until we were home again with new eyes.
For six years, I forgot about the sunset. And now I have remembered.

Unless you're a dashingly handsome bloke with the refined demeanor of a wealthy and worldly prince, you're probably never going to look like James Bond. You sure as damn hell can smell like him, however, with the James Bond 007 Fragrance for Men.
We're not exactly sure how this thing lands on the nose. We're guessing a combination of gunpowder, fresh blood, martinis, woman stink and whatever the interior of the 2013 Aston Martin Vanquish smells like. Oh yeah, and not even a hint of sweat because the real James Bond doesn't perspire (Daniel Craig's gritty version notwithstanding).
The James Bond 007 Fragrance for Men comes in an elaborate bottle and packaging that looks every bit equally classy and tough as the finest agent out of MI6. There really aren't a lot of details about the actual fragrance, but we doubt that's necessary -- this thing's coming out to coincide with the new movie and that should be enough to move a couple crates to James Bond fanatics around the world.
Will I be buying this? Hell naw. Unless I find out it makes you irresistible to seductive lady spies and other hotties fit to wear bikinis and lingeries in a 007 film. Which, by the way, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for.

Timeshare Contracts Can Impact Financial Planning and Retirement
The economy has changed, and consumers who purchased timeshare contracts within the last fifteen years are facing the challenges of retirement planning, health and long-term medical care. As Baby Boomers get ready to transition into partial or full retirement, the focus is on minimizing expenses and balancing an annual budget, on a limited income.
If you are in that consumer segment, you have already began to look at your personal finance options and expenses. How does a timeshare fit into your retirement plan? Is it a necessity that you are willing to pay for monthly, that will enable you to travel affordably? Some timeshare contracts and memberships work well for individuals who plan to use them frequently. If that is your individual circumstance, that is good; but you are part of a very small minority of timeshare owners.
The majority of seniors who have transitioned to part-time or informal retirement, in our experience, find the rising costs of maintenance fees limiting, and even alarming. On average timeshare memberships can increase from 4% or more per annum, meaning that the expense is not a static monthly charge that you can budget for. Depending on the terms of your timeshare contract, there may not be a cap that limits how much your fees can increase. Believe it or not, early timeshare owners may have signed into "reasonable inflationary increases" which are not specified. This means that the timeshare company can increase fees as it chooses, and that is bad news for consumers.
While you are planning your retirement, if you own a timeshare, you are navigating some perilous waters in terms of personal finance. You are entering into a period of time where you need to be extra careful about your expenses, and you are signed on to an expense that can double within years, at the discretion of the resort or development company. An expense you can't predict, and one that could cause significant financial hardship.
Are you ready to uncomplicated your finances for a comfortable retirement? If you have found that you dislike or are infrequently using your timeshare, now is the time to do something about it. Since 2001, our legal team has helped families cancel their contract, while avoiding bankruptcy or damage to their personal credit, and move on from the monthly and annual expenses of timeshare contracts and ownership.
Start today with a free consultation. We do not buy timeshares, nor do we sell them. Aconsumercredit™, specializes in a process that, in twelve months or less, can completely cancel your timeshare contractual obligations, and free up thousands of dollars a year in needless expenses. Call us today at 1-800-587-3948 for your free consultation and to start on your road to timeshare freedom.

Norm says, "My passion for travel and service in developing nations started when I was much younger and lived in Northern India for 3 months in the foothills of the Himalayas as part of Canada World Youth, a Canadian development organization similar to the Peace Corps." In 2012, Norman spent eight days in Nicaragua on a mission trip with the Yale Alumni Service Corps seeing patients in medical clinics. While there, the group also built houses, did public health education, mentored small business enterprises, coached local sports teams and taught in the schools.

Last year my sister and her husband bought a small cabin on Salt Spring. They live in Ottawa but come to the West Coast often to visit family, and they wanted a place to call their own out here. Plus it wasn't a bad investment.
Buying a vacation home has never been on Greg's and my radar. Heck, we have yet to buy our first home! I'm not sure it would be top on my list of things to buy even if we did have the money. I'm a bit of a homebody. So when my sister urged us to use this place as much as possible, I was appreciative, but I wasn't chomping at the bit to go over there.
We saw the place for the first time in April when my sister and her family were out for a visit. It's nicer than I thought it would be, and it has a beautiful view of the ocean. But still, we didn't race over there. Even with the six huge boxes of Ikea furniture we were storing for them taking up space in our dining room, basement and office. There were other things that got in our way, but we could have made time.
Finally, this past weekend we decided to go. We loaded everything and everyone in the truck and took a Saturday afternoon ferry over. And it was so much FUN! Even with the loading and unloading of furniture, the putting together of furniture, the screaming kids who wouldn't go to bed last night, the dog who tended to pace around anxiously, and the shortness of the trip (24 hours). Even with all that, I'm still looking forward to going again. We had a lovely dinner out on Friday night, a great walk this morning with the kids and the pooch, an ice cream cone this afternoon, and a couple of stints playing in the playground in Ganges.
I'm not exactly sure what changed my mind. I think it was a combination of how appealing Salt Spring is, how comfortable the cabin is, how nice it is to be away from your home and away from laundry, TV, chores and work, and also realizing it really wasn't that much work to get over there.
So now I can't believe how lucky we are to have this opportunity.

The NFL's stalled concussion settlement with 4,500 former players appeared to pick up steam again Wednesday when the league agreed to lift the cap on money available to eligible victims.
Under the new agreement, the NFL must pay claims for the next 65 years while no longer limiting the fund for those payments to $675 million.
That ceiling had been a sticking point for the settlement in the eyes of the federal judge in Philadelphia overseeing the case.
U.S. District Judge Anita Brody had rejected the initial agreement in large part because of concerns about its long-term funding.
In return for lifting the cap, the NFL received the right to appeal any claim if it considers the claim fraudulent. The league had been limited to 10 appeals per year under the initial settlement.
Several former players have blasted the deal as being a relatively inexpensive victory for the league, especially since the NFL wasn't required to turn over documents about its knowledge of the impact of concussions.
The league also didn't have to admit guilt in response to the ex-players' claim that it intentionally withheld information from them about the long-term ramifications of head injuries.
"This agreement will give retired players and their families immediate help if they suffer from a qualifying neurocognitive illness, and provide peace of mind to those who fear they may develop a condition in the future," Christopher Seeger and Sol Weiss, co-lead counsel for the plaintiffs, said in a statement released Wednesday.

New Socks, Two socks, New socks, Blue socks
Well, wasn't this fun? Susan at "I'm Knitting as Fast as I Can!" published a knitalong for these socks last week. I didn't find the knitalong until it was practically over, but I pulled out 100 grams of worsted weight wool (Patons "Classic Wool", size US 5 needles) and worked up the socks anyway (and they were a great project to pass the time during the U-Texas Regional Science Olympiad, at which our high school team placed second, thankyouverymuch!). The pattern is as yet unnamed, although hints dropped seem to have something to do with Harry Potter. Lightning bolt socks, maybe? Socks of the Horcrux? Can't-wait-for-July-and-HPVII socks? How about "Socks-That-Must-Not-Be-Named"?
