Surgical removal, or in other words, extraction of wisdom teeth, is one of the most common dental procedures in modern dentistry, and the dentists at Bethlehem Dental Centre regularly perform emergency and scheduled wisdom tooth extraction.
Despite being so common, and even with all the advances of modern dentistry and dental anesthesiology, wisdom tooth extraction is still feared by most patients, and is thought of as something painful and traumatic. While we wont deny that wisdom tooth extraction is a rather significant intrusion to everyday life, we would like to assure all the patients of Bethlehem Dental Centre that in most cases the story of such dramatic experiences reflects the "old days", and, now, dentists have perfected the wisdom tooth extraction technique to an entirely new level, severely reducing pain and recovery time.
Many patients in Tauranga put off wisdom tooth extraction for as long as possible, hoping that any pain they feel from their wisdom teeth will eventually disappear or can be controlled with antibiotics or with pain killers. However, extracting problematic wisdom teeth is the only realistic solution, as ignoring painful wisdom teeth can lead to infection, swelling, extended pain, and, in some cases, even obstructed breathing and further serious complications. The dentists at Bethlehem Dental Centre routinely inspect patients' wisdom teeth during dental check-ups to determine whether they should be extracted.
To understand why wisdom teeth can be so painful, it is first best to know the nature of the wisdom tooth itself. The term "wisdom teeth" refers to four adult molars located in each quadrant of the jaw. Originally, wisdom teeth developed in the jaws of our early ancestors to help grind down plants and other sturdy foods. In the modern world, most of us have fully developed wisdom teeth by the age of 25. Over time, the amount of room in the human jaw decreased, and the available room for the wisdom teeth to erupt was also decreased, leading to impacted wisdom teeth and painful dental problems for most of us.
According to statistics available from the USA, which proportionately reflect the situation in other developed countries, including New Zealand, each year 5 million Americans undergo wisdom tooth extraction, and approximately 12 percent of untreated wisdom teeth result in an infection and other painful problems.
IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH YOUR WISDOM TEETH, the dentists at Bethlehem Dental Centre recommend you to book an appointment at our Tauranga dental clinic today, or you may discuss the sutuation with your wisdom teeth with our dentists during your routine dental check-up.

Calm Growl
What am I feeling?
Is it a tease, a turn, and twitch?
Some naughty little bits of left over dreams
Float in my eyes in the morning
Staying near my thoughts as I tackle the day
Interacting with the world
All I see is Flesh A-Waiting
Cleaning and caring
Trying to relax
Or rather, trying to want to
There will be other times to sleep
Other times to second guess
Now, I guess
Is the time to allow
The Needs and the Wants
To figure themselves out
Tomorrow will be good
In a special innocent needed way
But the nights
Oh the nights
I can already breathe
The dark streets

Two stories out of the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting caught my eye, both for making claims that seem a little bit "out of this world". Oh yes, that is a poor excuse for a gag.
Speaking at the meeting, held this past weekend in Chicago, Dr Alan Boss of the Carnegie Institution in Washington DC said that there could potentially be as many Earth-like planets as there are stars in the universe – one hundred billion trillion, according to the Telegraph, though estimates vary.
Boss predicts that with four years we will find one of these planets in our galaxy – aided perhaps by a new telescope being launched by NASA in three weeks time. Named Kepler after the great mathematician and astronomer, its mission is to seek out planets that could support life.
"We already know enough now to say that the universe is probably loaded with terrestrial planets similar to the Earth,
"We should expect that there are going to be many planets which are habitable, so probably some are going to be inhabited as well."
If we were to send out unmanned spacecraft to take pictures of a newly discovered planet, Boss estimates it would take at least 2,000 years for us to receive them, because an Earth-like planet could potentially be 30 light years away. If you're expecting little green men however, you'll probably be disappointed; Boss expects any life out there to be microscopic organisms.
Also speak at the same meeting was British scientists Professor Paul Davies, who called for a "mission to Earth" in order to look for "alien" creatures who may already be here.
No, he's not suggesting we draft in Mulder and Scully; rather Davies believes we should search for microscopic life in remote and hostile environments that could potentially have a different biochemistry to our own.
"No planet is more Earth-like than Earth itself," he said.
"So if life does emerge readily under terrestrial conditions, then perhaps it formed many times on our home planet.
"Life as we know it appears to have had a single common ancestor, yet, could life on Earth have started many times?
"Might it exist on Earth today in extreme environments and remain undetected because our techniques are customized to the biochemistry of known life?"
Davies suggests that the discovery of a "shadow biosphere" would be "the biggest sensation in biology since Darwin". Such a mission would be much cheaper than looking for life on Mars, and so-called "weird life" may already be lurking in deep sea vents, at the bottom of lakes, and in deserts and caves. The truth is out there…

"Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." – Bruce Lee
This has to be one of my all-time favorite quotes-it instructs a person to just learn to flow with things, and not go against nature. Seems like practical enough advice, a decent way to avoid drama and not get sucked into worrying about things you simply have no control over.
So why the hell is it so hard for me to do lately?
I liked being calm and cool about things no matter the situation, and just rolling with whatever gets thrown my way. No BS, no regrets, just complete confidence that I knew I was doing the right thing, making the right decision, if you agree with me and want to ride along, cool, if not, that's cool too. Pressure didn't matter, I was certain I could face it. Did I always keep cool and stay collected? Of course not, I think everyone has those moments where they feel like they were on the verge of cracking…I'd always do my best not to show it though, and I think I succeeded.
(Before I go any further, I should probably add this: I'm not writing this based on one situation or one decision. Really.)
I miss that me. I've been questioning a good majority of things I do for months. Are the stakes a bit higher? Probably, but that never bothered me before. I could willfully detach emotionally from a situation in the past, but that's been absolutely difficult. I'll still follow my instincts, but not with the conviction I usually followed them with because I'm not sure how it'll play out or I'm going to pull a Mosby or I'm going to Britta a situation (and there are your pop culture references for this post…How I Met Your Mother and Community in case you were curious).
The confidence is fleeting, and I don't like it. Not one bit. So now the question becomes: what to do about it? (Besides be like water)
Talking it out is alright…writing it out like this is good too. And sometimes it might just be worth going the distraction route…like now. Not even sure why I'm throwing this out there, but what the hell…it's just something I decided to do. Might as well stick with it.

Champion Spark Plug Sales Symbols
Over the last few seasons the
sparkplug manufacturers have had to change their recommendations for spark plugs for many
applications and or come up with new designs. The biggest reason is that the fuel for sale
has been changing due to federal regulation and new technologies.
It is not a safe bet, any more, to install the same plug that was in your motor from the
last tune-up, for it could easily be inadequate for the current fuel being used. You
probably won't hurt your motor by not upgrading, but you most likely won't be getting the
best performance out of the fuel that you do consume.

Matching Desk Sets
As I'm sure you know from previous posts, I've made several calendar sets to use in the classroom or homeschool. These are mainly for the big poster calendars or pocket (chart) calendars. I have added one new one to the collection and I'm quite proud of it. It's the back to school calendar set. This one is a bit different than the others, but oh so pretty!!
Now to add to the calendar sets, I've started making desk sets. These desk sets have incentive cards and sheets, as well as desk name plates. The "back to school" set also has cubbie tags. I may eventually make those for all the sets!! For now, you can find all the desk sets here.
I should also note that I'm working on Christian/religious sets too. To start with, there's a Noah's Ark calendar set and desk set. The calendar set has the expanded numbers to 100 for the "100 days calendar". I plan on doing more, I just have to find the right graphics and get the sets made when I locate just what I need!!
So what else would you include in a desk set?? I thought of perhaps some letter and/or number writing charts. Someone else suggested some signs for centers for each theme. I'd love to know what my readers think, so leave a comment and let me know!!

What I want
Originally uploaded by mscottart
The first you may have heard of or it may have gotten brushed under the rug because it took place in Florida on Christmas Day; the story can be read here: Woman Faked Missing baby Story to Win Back Ex.
The headline in this story is deceiving. It makes you think that this woman put her baby in danger (real or fake) to win back the guy she wants. Ehhh!!!! – wrong answer. This 22 year old psycho told her ex that she gave birth to his baby when there was no baby, she invented the story to try to entice her ex back into her life. On Christmas Day said baby would have been 5 months old and turning out to be a good guy the supposed father showed up on the ex girlfriends stoop to spend time with his son – but remember there is no son. Instead of doing what any sane person would do and coming clean to the ex and admitting that you made up the son to get him face to face with you again this psycho ex decided that the best thing to do would be to tell the former beau that their son had been kidnapped. This went so far as to put out and Amber alert and the distraught "mother" & "father" ended up on the news pleading for their sons safe return before people finally figured out she had never even been pregnant. I feel bad for the ex in that scenario – here he thought he was doing the right thing, goes through a huge emotional rollercoaster and it turns out it was all a lie.
The other story isn't as literally insane, but it is definitely a lie that involved love that got way out of hand and remained out of hand for decades. Read the story here: Holocaust 'Greatest' Love Story a Hoax.
This story has been around for decades. It's about a boy in a concentration camp during WWII whom a girl on the outside would toss an apple to every day over the fence and after the war they met and eventually were married and have been married ever since. This became a famous international love story that spawned books and even a session on the Oprah show. As it turns out the boy (now a man) was in a concentration camp, but that's not where he met his wife and no one ever tossed him apples over the fence. Now that some scholars have manned-up and pointed out that this apple-tossing scenario is very nearly impossible the man came out and said that he made the story up to inspire people. My question: how exactly do you inspire people when you turn the truth into a lie?
I am kind of glad that these stories hit now, because if they hit in February people would want to cover them up in Valentine's Day wrappings.

Disney is on a roll announcing live action movies in the works such as Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast. It now has been confirmed by Mashable that Tim Burton is now turning his "big eye" (see what I did there?) sights on a pair of big ears, Dumbo to be specific.
Burton, although set to direct the film, is committed to two other projects, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children being one of them. Reportedly, he will be working on Beetlejuice 2, but there is no word on whether or not that will be released before Dumbo.
Disney is well on its way of releasing a series of live action movies. Cinderella comes out this Friday while Alice: Through the Looking Glass and The Jungle Book will be released next year in 2016. The highly anticipated Beauty and the Beast starring Emma Watson won't be released until 2017.
While it has been confirmed that Burton is in fact involved with the development of Dumbo, we can't help but wonder how well Dumbo will translate into a live action movie. Burton is known to put his own twist on movies which have been dubbed "Burtonesque" and according to The Journal, the story will be pulled into a broader spectrum.
Are you excited to see Dumbo come to life? Does it make it more appealing knowing that the acclaimed Tim Burton will be adding his director's expertise to the movie? Let us know what you think in the comments below!


text: While getting set up to do school the other day, I glanced out the window and saw this little fellow scoping out the bird feeders. Chepe said that he had seen the screech owls down near them at other times, hoping for an easy meal. This guy didn't get anything, and soon flew off; there was hardly any seed in the feeders to call the songbirds in anyway.

Not all printers can print characters from more than one code page. In particular, printers that have built-in fonts might not have characters for other scripts in those fonts. Also, new characters such as the euro currency symbol might be missing from a particular font.
Although the Microsoft Office System contains many workarounds to enable printing on such printers, it is not possible in all cases. If text is not printing correctly, updating the printer driver might fix the problem. If the latest driver does not fix the problem, you can look for an option in the printer driver options called "download soft fonts," or "print TrueType as graphic." Change this setting and try printing again.

Hip Hop Music Fans Gassed After Uncontrollable Riot Breaks Out At Hot 97 Summer Jam
Oh no! Violence erupted at the Hot 97 Summer Jam concert in New Jersey and police were forced to use tear gas to break up the uncontrollable riots — find out exactly what happened.
What was meant to be a fun night of music by artists such as Chris Brown and Big Sean quickly turned into a nightmare for over 1,000 concert attendees on June 7 at MetLife stadium. Metal barriers were trampled when armed police started to unleash painful tear gas outside of the stadium. We have all the details on what happened to cause the violence.
Eye-witnesses blame the riots, which started around 7pm, on slow security preventing people with tickets from getting into the concert in time, Daily Mail reported. Officials, on the other hand, have a different story. They claim the disturbance was caused by people without tickets who were trying to sneak into the event for free by climbing over fences and forcing their way through security.
When police arrived to the scene, they tried to disperse the large crowd by setting off an ear-piercing alarm and when that didn't work, they were forced to use the tear gas. "Barbaric — the way they treat our people is like animals," a concertgoer told CBS. "If there was another concert this would've never happened."
The annual concert was held by New York radio station Hot 97 and featured popular performers like Chris Brown, Kendrick Lamar, Trey Songz and Big Sean. Another concertgoer told Daily Mail, "Security was being extremely slow, and people were waiting to be let in. I had a ticket. Everyone had ticket, but security was being very slow and everyone got agitated."
After the riots broke out, the gates to get inside were closed and no one else was allowed in. The extent of the injuries were not immediately clear, although one man was reportedly Maced and another was apprehended on the ground by police.

Location Once you've scheduled your session, you'll need to think about locations.These can be anywhere in the extended Madison Wisconsin area. Your home, backyard, a park, an urban city street, or a rural spot out in the country . I suggest a place you love and identify with. One thing that needs to be remembered is that I'm a natural light photographer, so I need light. If your session is in your home think about the rooms in your house that receive the most light at the time of your scheduled session. In order to use the best available light, I might ask you to temporarily move furniture. If the session is outside, open shade works best. If you have any (or many!) ideas for locations and posing during the session please share, as many times these make the most natural portraits. I am a flexible person, open to suggestions.
What to Wear Wear your favorite clothes and jewelry, the things that you feel good in. If you are not quite sure what would work best, feel free to bring a couple outfit alterations. I must recommend foregoing short skirts, as these make posing difficult. Hats make for cute photographs. Babies can be photographed naked or wearing just a diaper. Be sure to dress them in loose fitting clothes before the session to avoid sock marks and such. Families don't need to feel like they should all wear the same color. Just make sure that colors coordinate well enough and do not clash. For inspiration, visit my Pinterest board.
Mid Session
My goal is to capture the true you. That said, I strive to capture your natural expressions, lovely smiles, quiet and playful moods. Let your child explore his surroundings naturally and do not pressure him for a smile or pose. This helps take stress and nervousness away from children. Seniors, couples, moms and dads, I always encourage your creativity. I want you to make your photos, YOU! Please speak up if you want to try something creative!
Post Session Approximately 1-2 weeks after your session, an online gallery will be available to view and place your prints order from.

Behind a curtain of secrecy, an arbitrator began hearing testimony Tuesday in Portland, Ore., on whether the NBA and the Golden State Warriors excessively punished Latrell Sprewell for choking and threatening to kill Coach P.J. Carlesimo.
"I'm happy to be here," Sprewell said as he arrived at the start of the hearing. "Hopefully, this will get over with."
Arbitrator John Feerick, dean of the Fordham Law School, has issued a gag order, barring those involved from revealing testimony.
Sprewell was thrown out of the league for a year, the longest non-drug suspension in NBA history, and the remaining three years of his contract with Golden State, valued at $25 million, were terminated.
In a brief joint statement, the NBA and the players' union said three people testified Tuesday: Warrior assistant coach Bob Staak, Warrior director of athletic development Mark Grabow and Warrior player Muggsy Bogues. The sides also made opening statements before testimony began.

When you are about to make any new building purchase, making sure that you have done pre purchase building inspections. Without doing the building inspections professionally you should never think of buying the property. This is required mainly because while selling any property the owners will always try to camouflage the hidden flaws so that they can sell the property fast and get good money for it. Hence, it's important that you do pre-purchase building inspections and ensure that you have checked yourself. Contact your Adelaide building inspections for help.
Avoid mistake by inspecting the property
It is necessary that when you are about to buy any property you do not hurry or rush as if you do that you will not be able to check the necessary things. You must take help from a building inspector who is trained to inspect the hidden problems of the building. There are many that will need you to repair it later on and for that you have to spend money. Then why should you spend money twice. You can get that money adjusted while you buy and pay for the property.
Check things and make a wise decision
It is believed by most that if they check the plan of the home and then many things with that plan it will be enough to buy the property. The fact is different. Even if you check the plan will you be able to know if there are any cracks in the walls? With Pre purchase building inspections you will be able to trace the hidden faults.
Thus, next time if you are very excited after looking into a property, do not get excited that you have got exactly what you were looking for is there. Get it inspected, get the reports and then finally decide whether you should buy the property or not.

Over 100 past and present Sheriffs from the 15 cities and towns that hold the office met in Poole last weekend for the annual convention of the United Kingdom's remaining Sheriffs.
Accompanied by consorts and friends, current and past Sheriffs from Nottingham, Canterbury, Lincoln, Lichfield, Southampton, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Norwich, Haverfordwest, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Camarthen, Chester, Oxford, Gloucester and York were welcomed by the Sheriff of Poole, Cllr Xena Dion.
Organised by the National Association of Town and City Sheriffs, the weekend included their annual general meeting, along with opportunities to enjoy Poole's beautiful natural harbour, the Quay, beaches and shopping facilities.
"It was a huge privilege to be part of such a rare gathering", said Sheriff of Poole, Cllr Xena Dion. "In meeting people wearing the robes and chains of office from the other cities and towns that keep the role of Sheriff alive, it struck me how each of them represent an incredibly long, sometimes bloody, but fascinating history. The convention also helped provide a boost for Poole's local restaurants, hotels and shops as many of those attending made use of their free time to enjoy our town."
The annual convention ended with the current sheriffs dressing in full regalia and, joined by the High Sheriff of Dorset, Jennifer Coombs, parading from the Guildhall to St James' Church for a service in which the sermon was delivered by the Dean of Salisbury, the Very Rev June Osborne.

Galle Face Green
If you were to do only one thing in Colombo, a stroll down Galle Face Green would be a good contender. Facing the rolling waves of the Indian Ocean, this car-free thoroughfare was laid out in 1859 by the governor of British Ceylon, Henry Ward. Come here for spectacular sunsets and a snapshot of local life: couples and families promenading along the seafront, huddles of people listening to cricket on the radio and the omnipresent stalls selling rotis and snacks.

Day after day, online grows in popularity. If you don't have the right knowledge, you won't be able to find the best deals. Keep reading to learn how to be a shark of online shopping savings and deal hunting.
Do not go shopping without adequate antivirus software. Shopping online can take you to some sites that are bad for your computer, sometimes. There are people out there that create online store sites just there to damage your computer. No matter how safe you think a website is, it is best to be cautious and have your antivirus updated.
You should be browsing different stores online in order to compare products and offers. Even compare different brands if you can. Choose one with the right features and price. Check in with the shopping websites you trust frequently; you'll often run into new products or special savings offers.
There is no reason to provide your SSN when shopping online. There is no website that needs this number for you to make a purchase. If a website asks you for that information, it is likely a scam. Therefore, immediately exit the site and search elsewhere.
Many online stores start sales as soon as Wednesday, so keep an eye out. A lot of offline shops run sales on weekends, and that's why online stores have opted for different sale days. It's possible to find great mid-week bargains by doing a little bit of online research.
Focus your shopping search with websites that search only online shopping opportunities. Google can be very helpful, but it may give you too many choices to be able to sort effectively. Checking out PriceGrabber.com or a similar site can make sure you limit your searches to only stores that carry the item you want.
Check auction or online discount sites prior to purchasing from big box retailers. Sites like Amazon and eBay tend to have much better deals than traditional retailers. This can translate to a lot of savings and very little issues. Do not neglect to verify the return policies that are in place. They can be different from retailer to retailer.
Keep your non-urgent purchases for the holiday season. Holidays like President's Day or Independence Day are typical times for traditional and online stores to hold a sale. Many retailers also offer free shipping along with great sales prices.
Look for online coupon aggregators, which compile hundreds of coupons and promo codes. You may be able to find coupons, both from the store itself or direct from the manufacturer. You must remember to check the sites before shopping to make sure that you receive the discount.
Prior to making any purchase, hunt for a coupon code. Retail Me Not and similar sites will offer a catalog of coupon offerings for many sites. If you're unable to get a code for a site you will purchase from, search for the site's name and add "coupon code". There may be something there.
Don't hesitate to try out different online retailers. You should have no problem finding sites that cater to all needs. Searching these sites can help you find the sites you want. They will allow you to sort the results by price so you can see what costs the least. Make sure you take shipping costs into consideration when comparing prices.
Try to limit your online shopping to companies that are based in the United States. You will be under the protection of federal and state laws when purchasing products from sellers located in the United States. You do not get the same level of protection when you buy out of the country.
Make sure to pay extra for shipping so that you can get your package quicker. Feel free to pay the extra cost necessary to get faster shipping and / or insurance. If you won't be home when it's supposed to arrive, ask your neighbor to get it for you.
If you are not sure of the specifics of a deal, you can use an online calculator to determine your specific savings. The larger the purchase, the more crucial it is to use one of these calculators. Crunch the numbers to be certain you are getting the best deal possible. You may determine that the deal is really no better than other online shops.
If you plan to give out personal information, only do so if the URL starts with HTTPS. Seeing the S after the HTTP informs you that the site is encrypting information sent and retrieved from it, making it more secure. In most browsers, you will also see an icon that looks like a padlock, indicating the connection is safe.
Do you owe taxes on your purchase? Most merchants located in your state automatically calculate your sales tax. If the retailer is based in the state you live, they are responsible for charging taxes. This might not be apparent on your initial bill but may show up as a nasty surprise on your charge card later.
Search for coupon codes for online sites. Many websites also offer free savings, free shipping, and student discounts when signing up with newsletters. Taking your time to conduct some research ahead of time can result in huge money-savings.
When shopping for clothing or shoes, sort by size before you begin to browse. It's all too easy to fall in love with a picture of a dazzling blouse and then discover that it's unavailable in a size that will fit you. You can save yourself some fashion heartbreak by sifting those items out right from the start.
Avoid buying from retailer that offers deals too good to be true such as a free piece of electronics. These kinds of scams are everywhere. If a store emails you about this special offer, you should be extremely cautious about it. Only proceed if you are completely sure the store is reliable and trustworthy.
Online shopping is very popular and that shouldn't surprise you because it's a very flexible and convenient way to get your shopping done. However, there are a lot of people out there still that don't know how to shop online and they miss out on a lot of deals and exclusive products. We hope reading the information here will change things.Copyright 2013 , All rights Reserved.

A large online survey of medical practices with nearly 4,600 responses finds no consensus that electronic health records systems increase physician productivity.
The survey found 72 percent of responding EHR owners are satisfied with the overall system. But only 26.5 percent of those surveyed say physician productivity has increased, while nearly 31 percent experienced a productivity decrease and 43 percent reported no change.
The Medical Group Management Association conducted the survey in October and early November of 2010 with funding from PNC Bank. Fifty-nine percent of respondents were from independent practices, 22 percent from academic- or hospital-owned practices and most of the rest from other types of ambulatory practices. Other survey findings:
* While 80 percent of practices that have adopted EHRs intend to go for meaningful use incentives, only about 14 percent felt they were currently able to meet all criteria.
* Thirty-eight percent of respondents reported total practice operating costs increased after EHR implementation, 26 percent said costs decreased and 36 percent experienced no change.
* Aspects of hospital or delivery system ownership may slow EHR adoption or integration with other technologies. About 20 percent of independent practices with an EHR were in the implementation stage, compared with nearly 34 percent of hospital-owned practices reporting an EHR.
* Almost half of independent practices with an EHR were at the time of the survey focused on optimizing use of the technology.

I'm talking about the monopoly on morality, service, and marital/familial love TBMs think they have. I'll explain further, but first I think I need to address this:
Since removing my Mormon blinders I've realized what a bitch I was. Oh, outwardly I was "really nice." And by "really nice" I mean that
- I was non confrontational
- I pretended to like everybody I had to deal with at church
- I spewed platitudes and "warm-fuzzies" instead of what I really thought
- etc.
I say this now because I want to make this perfectly clear: When I complain about Mormon behavior nine times out of ten it will be behavior that I took part in. Mormonopoly thinking being no exception. Anyhow, moving on...
It has been suggested that if Adam and I did not marry because God told us to then our relationship must be based solely on hormones and that at the first sign of trouble we'll bail on each other.
I'll give you a moment to let that sink in.
Besides being a completely illogical deduction it is an incredibly insulting thing to say. TBMs do not have a monopoly on love, commitment and strong marriages. In fact, LDS divorce rates are quickly catching up to the rest of society (and considering the extra-strong stigma divorce carries within Mormon society that is saying a lot). Additionally life within the culture of the Church can actually be damaging to a marriage. I wonder what my parents would have to say about this. Goodness knows they've had more than their fair share of trouble (my mom has severe progressive MS). They haven't bailed on each other. But, clearly since God didn't tell them to get married their relationship is a sham, built solely on hormones. [insert massive eye roll here]
Of course, the irony of Mormons lecturing anyone about marriage will not be lost on other "apostates**" like me.
The fact of the matter is that I married Adam because I love him. I love him, we get along very well, and he's a good man (with or without Mormonism thank you very much). And when we committed to each other we committed. We determined before our wedding that divorce is not an option. Other than abuse or adultery there is no reason we will tolerate for splitting up (and even in those cases we wouldn't necessarily consider it).
But it doesn't stop with marriage. It's not uncommon for TBMs to think that without the "Gospel" they would be horrible people, that those outside the "One True Church" are caught up in lives of sin. Though, I suppose when you think coffee is a sin then yes...almost everyone is a big 'ol sinner. But I digress. My point is this: Mormons do not have a monopoly on morality.
I can offer service to others (which I have) without having to have a Bishop or Relief Society President ask me to. I can be a good person without secret handshakes, a huge (and probably unhealthy) number of meetings/committments, daily reading of questionalble "sacred texts" and without a "prophet" to tell me what to do. It's as simple as offering others the same kindness and respect I would want them to offer me.
And being a good person does not mean I have to sacrifice the health and happiness of myself, my friends, or my family in an effort to "be nice" or "do what's right." I can say "no" without it meaning I'm "letting down the Lord" or that I'm not being Christ-like. Frankly...I don't know that I want to be like Christ. I no longer want to be like so-and-so in Relief Society. In fact I don't want to be like anybody else. I want to be like me.
For years I've suppressed my thoughts, feelings, likes, dislikes, etc. all in an effort to be the perfect Mormon woman. I've been conforming to somebody else's ideal. I've foolishly believed it was the only way to be worthy, the only way to be good. What a load of hooey. Since leaving the church I haven't suddenly started being a bad person (well...unless you include things like the occasional morning cup of "sin"). In fact I've found myself starting to be a better person. For one thing I'm not nearly as judgmental as I once was. You might say I stopped obsessing over the "letter of the law" long enough to actually remember to live the "spirit of the law."
I'll say it again. I do not need the church to keep me in line. I am an adult, and quite capable of telling right from wrong and acting accordingly. I don't need to slave away trying to be like someone else or how someone says I should be. I can be me because, believe it or not, she's a good woman.
*Yes, there really is a board game.
**Somebody remind me to write a post about the use of the term "apostate" some day.

Identity Theft
It is estimated that over 9 million people become victims of identity theft every year. It has becomes increasingly critical for each of us to be more proactive in protecting against identity theft and in reacting when identify theft occurs.
But what exactly is identity theft? Identity theft can occur in several ways. One of the most common forms of identity theft is the theft of someone's social security number. Another form would be that of a stolen driver's license. The type most people are familiar with is the theft of credit cards.
For more information on protecting yourself , click on our resource page and then click on FTC Credit Information under Consumer.
If you have been the victim, we can help you through the maze of disputing incorrect information on your credit reports and thereby insuring that your credit score is not improperly lowered.

I was writing a post on my recent scrappy makes when I realised that I had forgotten write a post on the last MOOCHi dress I made. It's a free pattern. It's also a very much loved dress in Miss Four's wardrobe that will unfortunately have to be retired soon. The voile I thought was cotton turned out to be a poly blend and it has pilled horribly. The dress has had a LOT of wear though.
The back skirt has a centre back seam that is not in the actual pattern. I was a little short on fabric.
This is the elastic back version with an extra little skirt overlay.
Apparently the overlay makes it particularly good for twirling. You will recognise this exact dress in some of the photo instructions of the free pattern.
And while I'm on the topic of the MOOCHi dress, you should head over to Another Sewing Blog to check out the super cute versions there.

Please contact us to discuss further!
Accounting and Bookkeeping
We can assist clients in preparing their accounting records
for the year. With completed accounting records, we can then prepare "Notice to Reader" financial statements.

We have particular expertise with respect to financial, tax and estate planning for owners of Canadian Controlled Private Corporations. If you have clients who may require this from time to time and it is not part of your normal practice, we are happy to assist. We can help you behind the scenes or by meeting directly with you and your clients as you wish. Whether it's advising on structural issues like using holding companies and family trust, reviewing ongoing issues such as the benefits of being incorporated, compensation planning and tax-efficient investing, or assisting during significant life events such as succession, sale or wind-up of a business, we can partner with you to deliver what clients need and value.

Houston Police Chief Harold Hurtt says that projected $5.4 million increase in the city's property tax revenue will help his financially strapped department fund a new cadet class, buy 3,600 Tasers, and retain 50 civilian jailers, the Houston Chronicle says. Hurtt said the money also will allow 29 more officers to work closer to the front lines rather than serve as jailers. The 5,400-member Houston Police Department has had 220 officers retire this year, and it expects 520 more retirements by the end of the year. Police officers will be moved to the city jail this month to replace 240 civilian jailers laid off by Hurtt because of the city's budget problems.
Several City Council members said they were concerned about Hurtt's proposal to spend so much money on Tasers in light of this year's budget crunch. They said it might be better to spend the money on more patrol officers. Citing the Kingwood district she represents, Councilwoman Addie Wiseman said the area "is facing a 10 percent reduction in police force (because of budget problems). I want to feel more confident we will use the money wisely. People are asking for full restoration of police officers on patrol."

Vaginal Delivery
What do I need to know about vaginal delivery?
A vaginal delivery occurs when your baby is born through your vagina (birth canal).
How do I prepare for vaginal delivery?
You will not be able to eat while you are in active labor. Your healthcare provider can give you medicines for pain relief if you chose to have them. You may need medicine to induce (start) your labor if your labor is not moving forward. You may need to move in bed, stand, or walk to help your baby move into position for birth.
What will happen during vaginal delivery?
- You can move into several positions during delivery. You can lie on your back, have your feet up in stirrups, or squat. You may feel pressure on your rectum. This pressure is caused by the movement of your baby's head down the birth canal. You may feel the urge to push. Your healthcare provider will tell you when to push, and guide your baby out of the birth canal. Healthcare providers may use forceps or suction to help deliver your baby. You may also need an episiotomy (incision) to make the vaginal opening larger. This will make more room for your baby.
- After your baby is born, your healthcare provider will put clamps on the cord that connects your baby to the placenta. The cord is then cut. Your uterus continues to contract after delivery to push out the placenta. Your healthcare provider may close your episiotomy incision or any tears with stitches.
What will happen after vaginal delivery?
- Healthcare providers will examine your baby. You may be able to hold your baby soon after he or she is born. After healthcare providers have checked that you and your baby are okay, you may be taken to another room.
- A healthcare provider may massage your abdomen several times to make your uterus firm. This can be uncomfortable. You may have abdominal pains for up to 3 days after you give birth because your uterus is still contracting. The contractions help release blood from inside your uterus so it shrinks back to its normal size. These contractions may hurt more while you breastfeed your baby.
- Your healthcare provider may suggest you get out of bed to sit in a chair or walk. Activity can help prevent blood clots.
- You may be able to go home within 24 to 48 hours after delivery. If you need support at home, ask your healthcare provider about home visits by another healthcare provider. This healthcare provider can help you learn about breastfeeding, bottle feeding, baby care, and perineum care.

"As the life expectancy of disabled adults increases, it's increasingly complicating one issue for their aging parents: retirement planning."
Having a special needs child adds complexity to retirement planning. Parents must pay attention to minute but critical details—like beneficiary designations for their workplace 401(k)—while trying to save as much as possible for their own retirement and at the same time trying to ensure that their child will have care after they're gone.
A recent MarketWatch article, "Parents of special needs children plan for two futures," says that you're planning for two lifetimes. In 2030, there will be approximately 1.2 million adults age 60 and older in the U.S. with developmental disabilities. That's about twice as many of the 642,000 who fit that profile in 2000, according to 2012 research by the University of Illinois at Chicago. Also, according to the National Down Syndrome Society, today people with Down syndrome have a life expectancy of 60, compared with just 25 in 1983.
It's critical that parents make certain that any savings and investments won't disqualify their child from means-tested government benefits, which can impact the parents' ability to save for retirement. To avoid this, parents should ask an elder law or estate planning attorney to help them create a special needs trust. The assets held in the trust for the disabled person won't affect his or her eligibility for government benefits.
But remember, rather than naming a special needs child as the direct beneficiary of any asset, parents with a special needs trust for their child should name the trust the beneficiary. Parents can use their 401(k) or IRA funds as needed during retirement and any remaining funds will flow to their beneficiary only on their death.
There's also a 529 ABLE account, which can hold up to $100,000 in assets without jeopardizing a special-needs adult's eligibility for means-tested government benefits. Families are able to contribute up to the maximum gift exclusion each year.
At some point, parents themselves will need care—in addition to their child. Diminished capacity in aging parents can mean a need for outside help, which can be very costly. Parents should consider getting long-term care insurance coverage at age 50. That's when they're still healthy enough to pass medical underwriting but may no longer have large expenses like a home mortgage or college tuitions for other children.
Although expensive, long-term care policyholders can realize certain tax breaks. The IRS stipulates that qualified long-term care insurance premiums are an expense that can be funded through health savings accounts up to certain limits. Plus, long-term care expenses themselves can be paid out of an HSA, provided they meet certain criteria. HSAs offer other tax advantages. The money isn't taxed when deposited but appreciates on a tax-deferred basis, and it can be withdrawn tax-free to pay for qualifying medical expenses now or in retirement.
The best way to ensure your financial decisions will not negatively impact your child's eligibility for means-tested benefits is to work with an experienced elder law attorney.

Sacred Treason by James Forrester
I just finished the first of a series of books that occur in 16th century England featuring Mr. William Harley, a Herald holding the title of Clarenceaux King of Arms. I found the historical detail and language compelling, at times researching heraldic titles simply to increase my understanding of the history I was reading. Mr Claranceaux, as our hero Mr. Harley is called throughout the book, finds himself entangled in a perceived plot to overthrow the Queen of England, Elizabeth I when presented with a chronicle written by an old friend, Henry Machyn. At the time England was still struggling with a national conversion to Protestantism, thus the religion of the sitting monarch has bearing on the plot. Mr Claranceaux, being of the old religion, or Catholic, was identified by the villain to be the mastermind behind the plot as the Queen was Protestant and many sought to return England to Catholicism. The story takes a much deeper turn rooting itself in the story of Anne Boleyn and the potential illegitimacy of Elizabeth's reign alongside deep rooted spite for past personal transgressions. Despite the religious overtones I found the book wonderfully written, characters realistic, and the ending perfect in that it was not a perfectly happy ending but more true to imperfect human resolutions.

A female jogger's Facebook post about a recent experience she had with a harasser is going viral due to the unlikely hero who came to her rescue. Julia Price was out on a jog one afternoon when she started getting catcalled by an older man on his lunch break. Thankfully, a very gallant little boy was walking by with his family at the time, and he spoke up in her defense.
Here's what Julia wrote in her Facebook post:
I was on my usual running path when I heard an older man yelling loudly enough for me to hear through my headphones. 'Sexy lady, hey hey hey sexy lady!' He kept screaming it and I decided to just ignore him and keep running.
This ignoring seemed to piss him off so he lashed out and said 'eff you, dumb B-----!' Now let's keep in mind he was well-dressed and appeared to be on his lunch break from an office job.
That was my trigger point. The B word. I ripped off my headphones prepared to stand up for myself when this little boy who was walking alongside his mother and little sister in a stroller looked at the guy and said, 'Hey. That is not nice to say to her and she didn't like you yelling at her. You shouldn't do that because she is a nice girl and I don't let anyone say mean things to people. She's a girl like my sister and I will protect her.'
The man was immediately embarrassed and started gathering his lunch to leave. I asked the mother if I could hug the little boy (his name is James) and I told him how grateful I was for him. He just shrugged and said 'Well I just wanted to make sure your heart was okay.'
According to his mother, this is a typical day in the life of James. Thank you so much to the mothers and fathers who are raising the next generation to be brave and courageous, and to be little earth angels for all. I am so touched.
That post has gotten just under one million likes and over 150,000 shares on Facebook. The comments are overwhelmingly positive as well, with many people commending the young man for his chivalry.
"Amazing young man whose parents did a great job raising him to be a real man," wrote one commenter. "If only the older man's parents had raised him the same way."
Another commenter wrote, "Thank you for sharing James and his ray of Hope for the next generation," while yet another user said, "What a remarkable old soul James has. Caring within the moment, holding space with a stranger, and landing his words with impeccable grace. A true teacher."
Price updated her post to reflect her gratitude to James, calling him "a symbol of hope for all of us." She also added, "I think that there's a part of him that we all have in ourselves - that compassion and courage to stand up for others fearlessly, no matter what that looks like."

Debt Relief Solutions from
BBB Approved Companies
Debt is a significant financial burden on many households in the United States. It is easy to accumulate and very difficult to pay off.
In fact, if you make only the required minimum payments on your credit cards, it could take a decade or longer to repay the money you owe. In the process, the interest builds, leading to double or more of your original total. Paying it off is difficult if not impossible.
That is where legitimate, reliable, BBB accredited companies and organizations that provide comprehensive debt relief solutions can step in and deliver substantial help.
In simple terms, it's any method that helps you to find some reduction in the amount of debt you have, in the amount you must pay monthly, or in the overall cost of repaying the outstanding amount, such as a reduction in interest rates.
If you are struggling to repay the full amount, there are several potential solutions that may come to your help, such as:
One of the common options for many consumers is to consolidate their debt. This process allows you to lump everything you owe into one monthly payment. There are two main ways to do this.
- You work with a professional third-party counselor that negotiates with your lenders to reduce how much you owe each one so that you can afford to make one payment each month.
- You secure a large loan or credit card and use them to repay your smaller, higher-interest rate loans. This is often difficult to do if you have bad credit, since it requires having home equity or good credit.
Consolidation makes it easier for you to repay the debt because you have just one payment to make each month. It does not, necessarily reduce the total Dollar amount. Some counselors are able to reduce the amount owed, but this is not always possible.
In some instances, you may want to settle your outstanding financial obligations. Lenders may be willing to work out a realistic mutually agreed compromise with you if they feel you may default or file bankruptcy in case they do not settle for less than what you actually owe.
There are third-party companies that can assist you with this negotiation process. It may be possible to see a considerable reduction of 20 to 75 percent of your owed amount through this strategy. However, you agree to pay the balance in full once you reach an agreement with the creditor or in some cases, in a few payments over a short period of time.
Debt management services work with you to create a budget and help you to manage your finances. These organizations may help to reduce your interest rate and assist you to make payments on time to your creditors. Some also help you to pay off your debt through settlement offers to lenders.
Unfortunately, people can make mistakes and end up in financial hot water. Sometimes, medical bills pile up unexpectedly. A lost job can devastate a family financially. No matter what the reason is, people in such challenging circumstances should consider the different options for a solution.
Doing so can help you get out of debt, avoid filing bankruptcy and begin building a strong financial future for yourself. The sooner you act, the faster you can get your old life back.

Neal Shusterman
Release Date: 11/6/2007
LIST PRICE: $19.99 (you save $6.00)
In a society where unwanted teens are salvaged for their body parts, three runaways fight the system that would ""unwind"" them
Connor's parents want to be rid of him because he's a troublemaker. Risa has no parents and is being unwound to cut orphanage costs. Lev's unwinding has been planned since his birth, as part of his family's strict religion. Brought together by chance, and kept together by desperation, these three unlikely companions make a harrowing cross-country journey, knowing their lives hang in the balance. If they can survive until their eighteenth birthday, they can't be harmed -- but when every piece of them, from their hands to their hearts, are wanted by a world gone mad, eighteen seems far, far away.
In Unwind, Boston Globe/Horn Book Award winner Neal Shusterman challenges readers' ideas about life -- not just where life begins, and where it ends, but what it truly means to be alive.
* ""Gripping, brilliantly imagined futuristic thriller...The issues raised could not be more provocative--the sanctity of life, the meaning of being human--while the delivery could hardly be more engrossing or better aimed to teens.""--Publishers Weekly, starred review

The watchtower is obviously the den of some very large predators. Bones litter the ground around the hill and the whole area stinks of ammonia.
Two chimeras immediately engage the party but are quickly dispatched. While searching the area, the party locates a basement that has been undisturbed for over a century. Inside are several dusty books, a chest of coins, and two inanimate mechanical humanoid bodies.
The party hauls these objects (plus some portions of the chimera bodies that seem likely to yield alchemical components) back to the main camp.
