Hollywood numbers show overall drop
INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Hollywood Park failed to keep pace with a record 2007 spring-summer meeting this year, showing a decline of nearly 2 percent in all-sources handle at the corresponding meeting that ended on Sunday, according to preliminary figures.
The track announced that the 60-day meeting had an average all-sources handle of $11,783,585, which included ontrack wagering, inter-track wagering in California, account wagering, and handle from interstate locations. The average handle was down 1.8 percent over the record handle of $11.9 million in 2007.
Daily account-wagering handle was the lone category to show growth, reaching $2,132,108 per day, up 14 percent over 2007. Track officials said final figures for the meeting were not immediately available.
The average ontrack handle fell 9.7 percent, to $1,532,940. Betting at Southern California offtrack locations fell 10 percent, to $2.7 million.
Track officials did not expect the meeting to show growth, citing a downturn in the economy and a trend of disappointing figures at Santa Anita earlier this year.
"We did better than we were hoping," said Hollywood Park's president, Jack Liebau. "Both tracks are struggling to meet the averages of the previous year. I was disappointed with our ontrack handle."
Liebau said Hollywood Park's account-wagering business benefited from the ongoing dispute over the division of revenue from account wagering between the Thoroughbred Horsemen's Group and TrackNet, a simulcast signal venture co-owned by Churchill Downs Inc and Magna Entertainment Corp. The dispute led to a blackout of account wagering on tracks such as Churchill Downs and Calder in recent months. With those two prominent signals not being offered via account wagering, Hollywood Park's program became more attractive for bettors.
"I have to admit, as far as Hollywood Park is concerned, we were helped by the TrackNet-THG standoff," Liebau said.
Liebau said that Hollywood Park's synthetic main track will be renovated in late August, after new fiber and rubber arrives from England. The condition of the Cushion Track has been criticized in recent weeks by trainers who say the surface is not as vibrant as it was when it was installed in September 2006.
"We want to bring it back to what it was," Liebau said.
The Bay Meadows Land Co., which owns Hollywood Park, has expressed an intent to develop the property and cease racing, but track officials have committed to running through a spring-summer meet in 2009 and probably through the fall.
John Sadler, 51, won his first training title at the spring-summer meeting, finishing with 29 winners, six more than Doug O'Neill. Sadler won seven stakes, and said his highlight was the weekend of June 28-29, when his stable won three major stakes, including the Grade 2 Beverly Hills Handicap with Black Mamba.
The training title was the second for Sadler in the last three meetings in Southern California. He won the training title at the fall meeting here in 2007 and was second at the Santa Anita winter-spring meeting.
"We're going up a level," he said of his stable's direction. "It's been a lifetime of work."
Jockey Rafael Bejarano led all riders with 54 wins, 10 more than Joel Rosario. Bejarano, 26, has dominated the riders in Southern California this year, having won the title at the Santa Anita winter-spring meeting. He relocated from Kentucky last November.
Jeff Nielsen's Everest Stable led all owners with 14 wins.
Zenyatta, who won the Milady and Vanity handicaps, was voted the horse of the meeting.

WASHINGTON -- First lady Michelle Obama opened a new front in her battle against childhood obesity today, urging restaurateurs to offer healthier children's foods and to stop undermining parents with "an avalanche of advertisements aimed at our kids" that tout high-calorie, low-nutrient foods.
In remarks to the National Restaurant Association's board, Obama noted that many children's menus offer macaroni and cheese -- "our children's favorite" -- cheeseburgers and chicken fingers and that some options have nearly 1,000 calories, or roughly what a child needs for an entire day.
Obama launched a campaign, called "Let's Move," to address the fact that one in three children in the U.S. is overweight or obese and at risk for hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

Today we had a lovely Roadside Philosopher's meeting and even with the holiday weekend had about 35 in attendance. The topic
was "Our Perspectives through Time".
The assignment was to think back when you were absolutely certain something was right, to find down the line that it was false. It was suppose to be a way of laughing at ourselves and the elusive fluidity of truth.
Childhood beliefs vs adult realities & Forever Loves that didn't turn out to be forever were some of the very serious components that were shared.
A few people spoke of their beliefs concerning the virtual worlds. How when they first came in they thought it was a game, but after time they understood they could meet and make great relationships that edified their life.
We change. Truth Changes. Engagement will be a breathing ritual for almost everything we do.
I use to spend up to 50 hours a week in one virtual world or another as I researched my book on relationships. I used my contacts for networking and had some small success, but now I go in very rarely. What's wrong with me?
I find myself wavering between engaging with everything trying to make it right in the world, to sitting on the sideline and observing the universe spin.
But this is natural apparently. The extremes of life are not only for individuals but for cultures. I remember when women had to make sure their men were happy and forgive indiscretions because to leave the relationship put them on the street. Now it appears that women are making a pretty great living getting up to 80% of their Ex's income, plus new husband and a job, while the poor ex can barely make ends meet. Talk about extreme shifts!
Seems I am always on the wrong side of the swing.. lol. When I was young I was beaten and told to shut up. Now you're bad if you ask your kids not to scream in the store and if you do, you get reported for child abuse.
I keep hoping that moderation will be available for the human race, but the pendulum of life has to tick tock back and forth to keep going.
Good times follow bad. Bad times follow good. Will we ever learn? Maybe after we stop breathing?

Last night together
She stayed by his side and slept next to him one last time. She played music on the computer that he liked. The soldier never left them unguarded.

She stayed by his side and slept next to him one last time. She played music on the computer that he liked. The soldier never left them unguarded.
Enough said.
I want to express my deepest sympathies for the all the people hurt and all the families involved in the recent shooting. It appalled me that someone would do something like this to innocent people just looking to spend a night at the movies.
I had planned to take my family to the midnight showing in my area. It makes my heart ache that my children would be hurt in a similar situation or even have to see a shooting like this happen in front of them.
I hope the capture and eventual conviction of this man can bring some solace to all those affected.
Hate. Some say it is not good to hate, and for many things I agree. I also believe that hate can be a good thing at times. I hate rapists, I hate pedophile sadists, I hate women beaters just as I hate those who pursue making money of the misery of others. I hate this man for what he did, I hate he hurt children in that theatre and I sincerely hope he rots in hell.
I will probably be writing a piece on this article in the near future but for now just check it out. Very well said.
I love my Mac, but more and more I'm finding myself using my phone for blogging. Especially when I'm at work. It has a lot of what the full sized laptop has to offer with the added benefit of being extremely portable and always connected to the web. I am seriously considering buying an iPad with data but the price still doesn't justify itself for me. Especially since I have almost everything on my iPhone that the iPad has.
There has been some debate over the effectiveness of different devices for consumption of media or for creation. For example it has been said that phones, 7 inch tablets and small net books are more for seeing and listening to media rather than creating. By media they mean books, magazines, videos and music. It has been said that the iPad and laptops are more suited for creating.
I am going to throw in my vote that if you want to create you can do it in pretty much any way you can. I have used my iPad, iPhone, and laptop to create blogs and edit and paste photos and video. I firmly believe that it is your desire to create and your determination that rules when it comes to creating art or content. Some of the best work I've ever read has been done using the most rudimentary of technology. Martin Luther King Jr wrote Letter From Birmingham Jail on the margins of a newspaper. Some of my better writing (in my humble opinion) has been done on cheap notepads and blank pieces of paper.
That being said I absolutely love these apps and don't think I can go back to writing with a plain typewriter without a great deal of adjusting.
I am using an iPhone and am going to list the top apps I use to get my blogging done. A while back I made a quick blog about the top blogging apps for iPad and while some of the apps transfer over there are some that are still unavailable on the iPhone. I hope that changes soon especially since I'm pretty sure the iPhone 4s can do anything the first iPad can do. So let me begin:
Blogsy – iPad only (for now). $4. In my opinion this is hands down the best blogging tool on the iPad. It can post your blog to Blogger, WordPress, TypePad, Tumblr and more. It can format your text and add photos and videos easily. It can create hyperlinks in your blog post without any coding and it will work effortlessly once you post. You can write and edit your HTML but, like me, you probably won't ever do that because you can just edit your work and the app does the HTML edits for you. It can save local files that you can work on if your away from your wifi and can post immediately or at your scheduled time. Simply amazing. I have not run into any problems with it so far. I use a Tumblr and a WordPress account with it. (I have written to the app creators and told them that if an iPhone version of the app would be made I would buy it and they have stated they are still thinking about it but they have gotten some positive feedback about making one. I really hope they do.) I added this with the hopes that the makers of this app listen and make it compatible with iPhone.
Tumblita – iPad and iPhone. Universal app. $3. Tumblita is an application for viewing and posting onto your Tumblr account. This is a weird choice for me in that it is at best a 4 star app. It doesn't do everything I think it could and sometimes it fails. Tumblr unfortunately has been ignored by app makers on the iPhone and iPad and while this app is definitely better than the regular Tumblr app at times it leaves you wanting more. Posting is easy to do and reblogging something from one of the people your following is easy. Pinch to zoom is not seen, however, and many times I find myself using the 'open in safari' button. Still for one price you get both an iPhone and iPad app and if you use Tumblr unfortunately there is no better choice.
WordPress – iPad and iPhone. Universal app. Free. If you use WordPress as your blog platform this is really a no brainer. This is my go to app on my iPhone for blogging on the go since Blogsy still doesn't have am iPhone app. It has quite a few features for editing HTML through links so I don't have to learn code. You just highlight and then click what you want it to be, a hyperlink for example, and it does the rest. Posting is a breeze and you can even see some of your stats in the app. It is polished and for free so who can really complain?
Pastebot – iPhone and iPad (not optimized for the bigger screen). $3. This application is amazing. If you ever wanted a clipboard editor so you could just copy on a web page and then store different quotes, links, notes or anything else you want (yes even pictures) this is the one. You can turn on the app and then copy something in safari or from your notepad and it's instantly in the app. The main clipboard can hold over 200 items, but you can create folders that hold as many as you want. I have one folder dedicated just for my EMS blogs and I can manage any of the items any way I want. I like to link to articles I read and give proper credit when I am quoting someone or talking about something I read online and this is perfect. I turn on the app, then I can copy the web address, copy a piece of the article I'm going to quote, copy the authors name, maybe a picture or two and then I can paste them as I want in my article. They're all saved and a quick pop into the app to select which item I want to paste is all I need to switch from copied item to item. Simply a great time saver, I'm still looking for something this great on my Mac. Only downside is it is not a universal app and thus makes my iPad use the 2X feature when I want to use it there.
Pages – iPhone and iPad. Universal. $10. For anyone that says the iPad can't compete with a normal laptop because of business oriented apps I put forth Apples iWork apps. With Pages you get a full fledged word processor for a fraction of the price a Windows based word processor costs. For 10 dollars you get a universal app that works on both the iPad and the iPhone. It can save in Apple's pages format or Windows docx format. On both devices you can use it horizontally or in landscape mode. If you use iCloud you can sync your apps together. Whatever you are working on in one device will be saved onto your other device. This is great if you are working on a longer project and like to do minor touch ups on the go. If you add a bluetooth keyboard to your iPad with Pages you will have a laptop word processor with most of the bells and whistles that programs at 3 or 4 times the price range have.
Reeder – iPhone and iPad. Different app for each device. I have many RSS feeds I follow and if it wasn't for Reeder I would never be able to read as many or keep up with some of the blogs I follow. It is a very easy to use program and once you set it up with your google reader account it syncs all your feeds. What makes this app shine in my eyes is the amount of extra tools it puts at your disposal. From inside the app you can send any story to your Instapaper, Readability or Pocket accounts. It is a one time set up and then it is fluid in sending the items. It can open the link on Safari or if you want it can save the link so you can paste it into your blog. The only downside I see is that it is not a universal app and you have to buy a separate app for each of your devices. I really like the way it works so I went ahead a bought it. In reality you don't need this one as much as the others to blog well. It does make it easy to get inspiration, however, since you can read the headlines and blog about whatever your interests are. I have feeds from EMS blogs to music to photography to the latest trend in technology. With Reeder I am able to quickly read and discard those articles I don't want to read and then send to my Instapaper account those that might take me longer to read.
The next few apps I have used for less time and while I find them pretty good so far I still am not 100% sure of their benefit.
Byword – 3 dollars, universal app. I have not downloaded this for the iPad. I have been using it for the iPhone and the Mac app. So far it has been fairly effective. I like being able to write and have it able to export onto your clipboard in HTML with one button. You can create and preview your documents and it shows your markdown just how it's going to look on the web. If your still not used to at least some HTML….. well there's really no reason you shouldn't be. On my phone its one of the better text editors.
I hope these apps help some of you create your art, blog or not, and at the very least help you get inspired. Are there any apps you use? Let me know.
Obese isn't as bad as being underweight?!
A new study by the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine is showing results that go contrary to what we've been being told about ideal weight. As soon as I read the title I also went into my skeptic mode.
The study showed that it may in fact be more dangerous to be underweight than to be obese unless the obesity is extreme in nature. Gizmodo in commenting on the article pointed out:
Jerant and his team surveyed almost 51,000 Americans of all ages over a period of six years to gather data for their research. Upon analysis, it transpired that those participants with BMI that determined them "underweight" showed a risk of death twice as high as the "normal" participants. Weirdly, it was considerably safer to be "severely obese" than underweight. Those with a BMI classifying them as such were just 1.26 times as likely to die as "normals".
What I hope doesn't happen is unhealthy overweight people decide to use this as an excuse. I heard about a march that was protesting against bans on unhealthy drinks where parents marched with their kids drinking big gulps. Msnbc showed pictures of it in their photoblog.
Now let me be clear, I'm all for personal responsibility and freedom to choose.
I'm also for being smart.
In the next few years "couch potato syndrome" will kill or contribute to more deaths than smoking or trauma! Sedentary lifestyle causes more deaths than smoking.
Now, even though I don't believe we should all aim for zero percentage body fat, we shouldn't just dump any drink into our kids just because they like how it tastes. For those of you in EMS you know that one amp of D50 is 25 grams of carbs. Just as an example to anyone that isn't in EMS, one of these can bring a person back from being completely unresponsive because of low sugar levels to a walking, talking and sometimes refusing patient. Remember: one of these, one can make a diabetic with a sugar level of 45 go to 145. Now take this into consideration:
One Dr Pepper from McDonald's 32 ounce has approximately 80 grams of carbs. That's more than 3 times the amount we use to bring back a diabetic patient from a coma!
Now I'm all for personal choice and freedom and liberty. I'm all for science and research. But sometimes we just have to look at something and common sense should say, maybe we shouldn't.
In comparing weight maybe we shouldn't compare overweight to underweight. Maybe the comparison should be overweight to normal and underweight to normal.
Maybe it shouldn't be freedom to buy as big a Big Gulp as you want, maybe it should be that we strive to teach our kids a better way to eat so that they don't have to go through the problems we and our patients are going through.
Common sense, seems to be a running topic for me, maybe because I'm used to seeing so little of it.
The Art of Self-Reliance
No man who is not willing to help himself has any right to apply to his friends, or to the gods.-
I teach occasionally. The first thing I start with when I teach any first aid or CPR courses is explaining how important it is for everyone to be self-reliant. At least to a degree.
Now let me explain, I'm not talking about having 6 months worth of food in a bomb proof underground bunker (if I could afford it I might consider it) what I'm talking is about being self-reliant with the basics of survival. I'm talking about everyone knowing basic CPR, yes the no breaths version is perfectly fine. Everyone should know the basics of the Heimlich maneuver. Everyone, and I mean everyone, from Elementary school to adults should know the basics of controlling a bleed.
I have been called to assaults where a small laceration to the temple area have made people look like they were shot with a 50 cal just because no one on scene decided to apply pressure. The times that a tourniquet needs to be used on an artery or venous bleed are far less common and so I don't consider them extreme necessities but they do occur and I don't understand why people wouldn't want to have this skill. It's one of those skills that I would rather have and never need than need one day and not have.
What about anaphylactic reactions? Come on people, every day there are more and more people having allergic reactions to a wider and wider range of items. Learning simple symptoms can save someone's life. Learning the difference between an allergic reaction and an anaphylactic reaction could give a person a fighting chance. I'm not talking about the technical terms either, just know if someone is showing a lot of itching, trouble breathing, hives, swelling or a sudden case of wheezing they are having an anaphylactic reaction. Knowing that over the counter Benadryl (diphenhydramine) can help but is not the definitive treatment if it's a true anaphylactic reaction is also crucial.
Or what about this one, get called out to a residence for possible MI, because the person has left sided paralysis and they've already administered aspirin. Knowing the difference between a heart attack and a stroke is pretty extreme. Even so I see many people mistake the two. Know that weakness to one side of the body, facial drooping and slurred speech is a sign of a stroke and remembering that the time of onset of the symptoms is vital to a possible recovery. A heart attack usually presents with pain to the chest radiating somewhere and does not improve with breathing or position of the body. Both have time fighting against them, but each has their own treatment protocols. Aspirin should not be given to a possible stroke patient under any circumstances unless a physician is ordering it for that specific patient.
Another common problem is dehydration and heat related emergencies. Just because young kids have tons of energy and are able to run around like if they're never going to run out of steam doesn't mean parents should let them. Knowing that dehydration is something easier prevented than dealt with once you are having symptoms is important. Once someone that is dehydrated begins to vomit it is going to get more difficult to get him hydrated. If, however, parents, coaches and trainers can remember to keep everyone hydrated during exercise, sports events or just a hot day out in the park you can avoid any problems. What if the kid doesn't want to drink water during play? Make it mandatory in order for them to continue to play.
The main thing about being self-reliant is also knowing when you are reaching your limit. I have touched a few times on the misuse of the 911 system and in the future will be trying to look at that issue further, for now however, I am going to say that while self-reliance has it's purpose there is also a limit. Everyone needs to know that there are certain things that we are going to need help with, such as a real injury, an ongoing stroke, an active heart attack, and a thousand other things that should prompt us to call the emergency number. No one should ever wait to see if the left sided paralysis they are feeling is going to wear off. No one should see if that chest pain that is causing them to have shortness of breath and dizziness will be helped by an Rolaid.
It's crazy that sometimes the people that least need an ambulance call for one and the patients that should have called wait until hours if not days later to call?
Self-reliance, at least to a moderate degree, should be something all of us strive for. We never know when it might come in handy.
It really is good to sometimes just unplug. There are many things going on all the time sometimes it's hard, believe me I know. For us in EMS sometimes the ways we unplug are not the healthiest. There's always the alcohol that seems to infect every social gathering, there's the going out to eat that is never as healthy as we intend. Sometimes our lives take unexpected turns and it gets hard to just relax.
Word of advice, you have to do it.
You have to unplug or risk becoming someone different. It won't look like it initially, you won't feel it happening, but it will. You will become a different person than you are. You might become crankier with the kids, snap quicker with a patient, get frustrated with a boss. Whatever it starts to do to you it makes your outlook change and then it's hard to get back on track.
I'm not saying I have it down. I'm not saying I'm an expert, sometimes after a hard day of work I get cranky. I have had the occasion of coming home and being slightly short tempered with my children or wife.
It happens.
We all have to figure out how we can de-stress and recharge. Some take up exercising. I keep telling myself I'm going to take this up too, just hasn't happened yet. In fact I'm in the process of getting a membership to a local gym. Sure hope I don't start dropping money there and don't use it. Maybe I will keep you guys updated and somehow get motivated to at least not be a lazy slob in front of my readers.
Yesterday I took my family out to a small outing at the beach. Let me tell you that even though we had our little problems, minor irritations when the kids wouldn't listen, slightly bigger irritations when I found out how much I was spending for lunch (thanks a lot menu with no prices on their drinks), I still consider it a huge success.
There are moments from yesterday that I think will stay with me for a long time. The day was perfect, the weather was nice and the water was warm.
I have never really considered myself a beach person, but yesterday the feeling was infectious. South Padre Island is usually not as packed during the summer as it does get during spring break, and believe me I won't be taking my children there during that. With it being the weekend after 4th of July and summer in full swing it was still pretty populated. There were all sorts of things going on, from the banana boat taking people out to sea and dropping them every single time I saw them, to sky divers landing a few yards from where we had our chairs and umbrella.
My kids obviously loved the water and it always amazes me how much enjoyment children can get from the most mundane thing. You can give them a huge present and they play with the box, you give them a toy and they use it, but to imagine something totally different. I give you a beach, my children find digging in the sand for animals was their highlight!
Don't get me wrong, once I showed them how we could walk out into the beach and jump over waves they were all over it. My Little One, that's what I call my daughter, would hang on to me for dear life as the waves would roll us over them, but then a kiss on my cheek would make any sand I tasted because of the water feel like fine wine.
They say that having children and raising them is not the happiest times of an adult life, but that there are moments of such pure joy that the bad parts are covered over by those memories. I have to agree with that, my kids can be a handful, but when they show little signs of complete love and trust it floors you.
I have also taken up a bit of photography as a side hobby and so far enjoy shooting clouds a great deal, I think I would really love to shoot portraits of people but it is far harder to get people to not be self-conscious in front of a camera. If it wasn't for family and responsibility I think I would really enjoy shooting a major storm making landfall here at South Padre Island. The few clouds I would see would give me a glimpse of the magnitude a major storm would bring.
Why do we sometimes find beauty in the most destructive? Awe in the fear inspiring?
Don't get me wrong, the medic in me would still materialize. I would still keep my kids as close as possible thinking that any wave could potentially take them out to sea. Like any kids they would test the boundaries of how far they could go and I would have to resist my wanting to yell at them when they went too far. When my two children and my niece proclaimed, "this is the best day of summer," I knew I had done my job.
I had a great time at the beach with the family and hope to do it again soon.
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.

It's been a long time since i've written a movie review, and I know Avengers has been out for a week now, but still I felt like puttin up my thoughts.
I'm going to have to buck with popular opinion on this one. Now, don't get me wrong, I still liked it, but it sure doesn't top out the Marvel Movie Universe films for me. I think it actually goes toward the bottom, above Iron Man 2, but below the rest (that's right, I even place The Incredible Hulk above this).
Okay, let's get the painful stuff out of the way first. My biggest issue, and I admit that there's not much that could be done as it's pretty much the very nature of the film, is there are so many characters that none get explored very much, and the story is particularly flat. It goes something like this, Bad guy (Loki) shows up with generic "plan" to conquer or something. Bad a$$ (Nick Fury) forms team to stop bad guy. The team can't get along, and there squabbles enable Loki to….um…..further whatever it is he's doing. Then all hell breaks lose, but the team comes together to save the day. That actually makes it sound even more complicated then it plays out!
The nature of the Marvel universe has always been one of flawed super heroes, and they make a go of it here. Perhaps it's an attempt at "drama" but the way it comes across is several caricatures that all have an issue of some sort, and they all try to "work them out", I.E., an hour and a half of grown men (and a woman) bickering until the big showdown! Also of note, the utterly BLAND music. Terrible score!
Okay, now to the good stuff! While the characters are underdeveloped, and the story is by nature shallow, all the actors come across fairly nicely. If you've seen the other Marvel Movie Universe films, the characters work for the most part. While they are undeveloped in this movie IF you've watched the others, they work just fine. Even Scarlett Johanson is okay acting wise here, and I usually don't care for her (HATED her in Iron Man 2). I think the director probably gets credit there for pulling good performances all around. On special note is Bruce Banner/The Hulk. He comes across as the only actual "character" in the film as opposed to a caricature. They really cracked the Hulk, which 2 films down already shows him to be a hard character to figure out. The action, expertly done. You can actually tell what's going on. Great special effects, and good dialogue. Seriously, Joss Whedon was born to write dialogue, and his skills shine through on that one! The film also has something lacking in a lot of movies these days, fun! So many films are so dower these days, and a sense of fun is a real breath of fresh air!
So, final score, 3.5 out of 5 stars!
On a side note, here is how I rate the Marvel Universe films from best to worst.
Iron Man
Captain America
The Incredible Hulk
The Avengers
Iron Man 2 (a long way below the rest)

Search Engine Optimization & ROI
Comprehensive SEO Strategies Make A Big Difference
The long-term benefits of a comprehensive search engine optimization program have proven time and time again to be a better investment than simply putting up a website.
Integrate SEO during Website Development
From years of experience, we understand that integrating a SEO approach while in the design and development stages of a new website launch is key. Often there are SEO considerations that need to be approached in the basic structuring of the website – for instance, having a less image-centric home page. If you are considering a website development project, consider implementing an SEO strategy at the same time. You can save thousands of dollars by considering an implementation of both strategies together.
Key elements to consider before implementing an SEO strategy on your website:
- What CMS is your website built on?
- Do you have root-server access?
- How much content does your site have?
- Are you aligning content to the buying cycle?
- How do you demonstrate firm expertise? Blog, video, etc.
- Do you offer compelling calls to action to attract and keep the interest of site visitors?
Results Timeline
Most firms that work with FlashPoint Marketing on a long-term SEO strategy can expect to start seeing results within the first three months. There are several schools of thought that can be applied to a campaign to drive traffic and conversions, but FlashPoint Marketing prides itself on offering services that are based on best practices recommended by major search engines – white-hat SEO. While these strategies offer some immediate benefits, the true value comes into play over time and you will continue to see upward trends in your analytics.
Results can vary according to existing SEO, amount of content, and what changes and adjustments need to be implemented. FlashPoint Marketing provides each new client with a website audit report that acts as the baseline benchmark for your SEO. This report will be used to measure your results against each month. Expect to see long-term results for the life of your website with a FlashPoint Marketing SEO strategy. Please inquire for details on what kind of timeline your individual firm can expect.
Return on Investment
Your website should be your hardest working salesman – the 24/7 sales pitch. Having a beautiful website is only half the battle. A website is like a business card while SEO is like networking. It is key to implement a strategy that will put your website in front of prospects during the most crucial point in the sales cycle.
All of our clients have experienced significant growth of their business through Search Engine Optimization. Many of our clients have seen a 100% increase in leads generated through their websites after the implementation of a long-term SEO strategy.

After two and a half years of homebrewing, I'm finally feeling ready to put my beer out there for the general public, at least one brew, anyway. I did on Saturday, and it one of the most bittersweet days of my life. The Home Brew Fest, part of the annual Steinbeck Festival in Salinas, California should have been a day of fun conversations, of compliments, of success—and it was. I loved when a woman came up asking, "Is this where we can get the mate beer we've been hearing about?" But, the story of the yerba mate-infused blond ale that I wrote about brewing a couple of months ago, took a tragic turn the final day of March. For reasons that may never be known, Giancarlo Vigil, the dynamic 23-year-old owner of The Mate Exchange, took his life on March 31 in Durango, Colorado.
In the weeks before his April 24 memorial service in Arvada, the Denver suburb where he grew up, I lost count of the Facebook posts from his friends and acquaintances. So many poured out stories of how Giancarlo had impacted their lives for better. An estimated 400 people attended his memorial service. The police report still is not final, and many questions remain as to why a young man with so many accomplishments and no signs of depression would end his life.
Because Giancarlo imported his mate from southern Brazil, I had initially planned to enter the beer in our local homebrew competition with the name Ipanema Blond. After the service, I phoned his grandmother and my long-time friend Marta about renaming it Giancarlo's Brew and using a photo from the memorial service. "It would lead people to ask what happened. Are you okay with that?" I asked. Marta was highly enthusiastic in her response, as Giancarlo's mother Denise was later. Both want Giancarlo to continue touching others' lives.
So on Saturday, off I went with my trusty assistant brewer and husband Hugo and five recently brewed gallons of Giancarlo's Brew. The biggest challenge for attendees at any beer festival is being able to drink only so much beer. For servers, festivals are a lot more involved. The Steinbeck Fest ran from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., which meant arriving between 8:00 and 9:00 to ice down kegs and bottles, set up, chat with fellow homebrewers and try a few samples of their work.
Walking in the door, I was feeling intimidated. Mark Fisler, president of the Redwood Coast Brewers Association in Santa Cruz, who has brewed over 200 batches, was bringing several beers. Huy Vu, who had given me great advice about brewing with tea, had said he planned to bring five beers. Coming off a first-place win in the first round of the National Homebrew competition and looking to go pro, Jon Ezell would be pouring, as would Duane Shimabukuro, owner of Bottoms Up Homebrew Supply. All these guys are wonderful people, but their brewing skills and their beers were way beyond my skills and my one beer.
And then there was the matter of decorating. Several days earlier, Jon Ezell had spent fifteen minutes on the phone answering my last-minute questions. "Some people go all out on decorating their booths," he advised. I hung up and started brainstorming.
Displaying our Grainfather brewing system would get people's interest. One second later, I decided that having scores of people wanting to touch our $900 machine was probably not a good idea. Maybe I'd take my Argentine boleadoras, traditionally used by mate-drinking gauchos to capture cattle. And the leftover bag of mate might interest people. I made a sign, and decided I'd exhausted my decorating skill.
Saturday dawned overcast, windy and chilly—crummy beer festival weather. Luckily, we were assigned to a large room inside the Steinbeck Center, while the Fisler's and multi-ribbon winner Erik Hickok were on the patio and Jon and Duane were in a courtyard. "Here's your sign and your bag for best-of-show tickets," an organizer said as she checked me in. I took my place between Big Bear Chainsaw Brewing, with a jockey box, a fruity watermelon wheat beer and a gorgeous framed sign, and La Cantina Brewery with their jockey box and a killer Coco Lav Porter. Who knew we were supposed to name our breweries?
We were hardly set up before fellow homebrewers were stopping for samples. The mate made for a great story behind the beer, but it was the people who asked about the name and Giancarlo's photo that made the day unforgettable. Some turned somber, other near tearful. One gently touched his glass to the photo and murmured, "Cheers, Giancarlo."
Over the five-hour festival, Hugo and I poured one sample after another, sometimes with a line and a lot of folks coming back for seconds. When Duane, the homebrew shop owner, stopped by to say competition results should come out within a week, he confided that the judges had voted Giancarlo's Brew through the first round of competition.
By the time Hugo left for another commitment at 3:00, I felt perfectly capable of handling our booth. Still, I was happy that my homebrewing neighbor John and his son Chris had volunteered to stay and help haul things to the car. When 4:00 rolled around, two 16-ounce bottles were all that remained of Giancarlo's Brew. Those and a lot of fantastic memories.
Before heading home, I celebrated for a couple of hours at Alvarado Street Brewery's Salinas production brewery, where owner J.C. Hill very generously supplied free beer and tacos for a patio full of homebrewers ready to party.
Three years ago, an adventuresome college junior went off to Argentina for nine months and came home in love with yerba mate. Little could he or I have known where yerba mate would take us.

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions patients have about dentistry and oral health issues. If you have any other questions, or would like to schedule an appointment, we would love to hear from you.
Click on a question below to see the answer.
Bad breath (halitosis) can be an unpleasant and embarrassing condition. Many of us may not realize that we have bad breath, but everyone has it from time to time, especially in the morning.
There are various reasons one may have bad breath, but in healthy people, the major reason is due to microbial deposits on the tongue, especially the back of the tongue. Some studies have shown that simply brushing the tongue reduced bad breath by as much as 70 percent.
What may cause bad breath?
Keeping a record of what you eat may help identify the cause of bad breath. Also, review your current medications, recent surgeries, or illnesses with you dentist.
What can I do to prevent bad breath?
In most cases, your dentist can treat the cause of bad breath. If it is determined that your mouth is healthy, but bad breath is persistent, your dentist may refer you to your physician to determine the cause of the odor and an appropriate treatment plan.
Brushing and flossing help control the plaque and bacteria that cause dental disease.
Plaque is a film of food debris, bacteria, and saliva that sticks to the teeth and gums. The bacteria in plaque convert certain food particles into acids that cause tooth decay. Also, if plaque is not removed, it turns into calculus (tartar). If plaque and calculus are not removed, they begin to destroy the gums and bone, causing periodontal (gum) disease.
Plaque formation and growth is continuous and can only be controlled by regular brushing, flossing, and the use of other dental aids.
Toothbrushing – Brush your teeth at least twice a day (especially before going to bed at night) with an ADA approved soft bristle brush and toothpaste.
Electric toothbrushes are also recommended. They are easy to use and can remove plaque efficiently. Simply place the bristles of the electric brush on your gums and teeth and allow the brush to do its job, several teeth at a time.
Flossing – Daily flossing is the best way to clean between the teeth and under the gumline. Flossing not only helps clean these spaces, it disrupts plaque colonies from building up, preventing damage to the gums, teeth, and bone.
Floss holders are recommended if you have difficulty using conventional floss.
Rinsing – It is important to rinse your mouth with water after brushing, and also after meals if you are unable to brush. If you are using an over-the-counter product for rinsing, it's a good idea to consult with your dentist or dental hygienist on its appropriateness for you.
Over the years there has been some concern as to the safety of amalgam (silver) fillings. An amalgam is a blend of copper, silver, tin and zinc, bound by elemental mercury. Dentists have used this blended metal to fill teeth for more than 100 years. The controversy is due to claims that the exposure to the vapor and minute particles from the mercury can cause a variety of health problems.
According to the American Dental Association (ADA), up to 76% of dentists use silver containing mercury to fill teeth. The ADA also states that silver fillings are safe and that studies have failed to find any link between silver containing mercury and any medical disorder.
The general consensus is that amalgam (silver) fillings are safe. Along with the ADA's position, the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization, the FDA, and others support the use of silver fillings as safe, durable, and cost effective. The U.S. Public Health Service says that the only reason not to use silver fillings is when a patient has an allergy to any component of this type of filling. The ADA has had fewer than 100 reported incidents of an allergy to components of silver fillings, and this is out of countless millions of silver fillings over the decades.
Although studies indicate that there are no measurable health risks to patients who have silver fillings, we do know that mercury is a toxic material when we are exposed at high, unsafe levels. For instance, we have been warned to limit the consumption of certain types of fish that carry high levels of mercury in them. However, with respect to amalgam fillings, the ADA maintains that when the mercury combines with the other components of the filling, it becomes an inactive substance that is safe.
There are numerous options to silver fillings, including composite (tooth-colored), porcelain, and gold fillings. We encourage you to discuss these options with your dentist so you can determine which is the best option for you.
You should have your teeth checked and cleaned at least twice a year, though your dentist or dental hygienist may recommend more frequent visits.
Regular dental exams and cleaning visits are essential in preventing dental problems and maintaining the health of your teeth and gums. At these visits, your teeth are cleaned and checked for cavities. Additionally, there are many other things that are checked and monitored to help detect, prevent, and maintain your dental health. These include:
As you can see, a good dental exam and cleaning involves quite a lot more than just checking for cavities and polishing your teeth. We are committed to providing you with the best possible care, and to do so will require regular check-ups and cleanings.
Four out of five people have periodontal disease and don't know it! Most people are not aware of it because the disease is usually painless in the early stages. Unlike tooth decay, which often causes discomfort, it is possible to have periodontal disease without noticeable symptoms. Having regular dental check-ups and periodontal examinations are very important and will help detect if periodontal problems exist.
Periodontal disease begins when plaque, a sticky, colorless, film of bacteria, food debris, and saliva, is left on the teeth and gums. The bacteria produce toxins (acids) that inflame the gums and slowly destroy the bone. Brushing and flossing regularly and properly will ensure that plaque is not left behind to do its damage.
Other than poor oral hygiene, there are several other factors that may increase the risk of developing periodontal disease:
Signs and Symptoms of Periodontal Disease
Good oral hygiene, a balanced diet, and regular dental visits can help reduce your risk of developing periodontal disease.
Brushing our teeth removes food particles, plaque, and bacteria from all tooth surfaces, except in between the teeth. Unfortunately, our toothbrush can't reach these areas that are highly susceptible to decay and periodontal (gum) disease.
Daily flossing is the best way to clean between the teeth and under the gumline. Flossing not only helps clean these spaces, it disrupts plaque colonies from building up, preventing damage to the gums, teeth, and bone.
Plaque is a sticky, almost invisible film that forms on the teeth. It is a growing colony of living bacteria, food debris, and saliva. The bacteria produce toxins (acids) that cause cavities and irritate and inflame the gums. Also, when plaque is not removed above and below the gumline, it hardens and turns into calculus (tartar). This will further irritate and inflame the gums and also slowly destroy the bone. This is the beginning of periodontal disease.
How to floss properly:
Daily flossing will help you keep a healthy, beautiful smile for life!
If you're feeling somewhat self-conscious about your teeth, or just want to improve your smile, cosmetic dental treatments may be the answer to a more beautiful, confident smile.
Cosmetic dentistry has become very popular in the last several years, not only due to the many advances in cosmetic dental procedures and materials available today, but also because patients are becoming more and more focused on improving their overall health. This includes dental prevention and having a healthier, whiter, more radiant smile.
There are many cosmetic dental procedures available to improve your teeth and enhance your smile. Depending on your particular needs, cosmetic dental treatments can change your smile dramatically, from restoring a single tooth to having a full mouth make-over. Ask your dentist how you can improve the health and beauty of your smile with cosmetic dentistry.
Cosmetic Procedures:
Teeth Whitening: Bleaching lightens teeth that have been stained or discolored by age, food, drink, and smoking. Teeth darkened as a result of injury or taking certain medications can also be bleached, but the effectiveness depends on the degree of staining present.
Composite (tooth-colored) Fillings: Also known as "bonding", composite fillings are now widely used instead of amalgam (silver) fillings to repair teeth with cavities, and also to replace old defective fillings. Tooth-colored fillings are also used to repair chipped, broken, or discolored teeth. This type of filling is also very useful to fill in gaps and to protect sensitive, exposed root surfaces caused by gum recession.
Porcelain Veneers: Veneers are thin custom-made, tooth-colored shells that are bonded onto the fronts of teeth to create a beautiful individual smile. They can help restore or camouflage damaged, discolored, poorly shaped, or misaligned teeth. Unlike crowns, veneers require minimal tooth structure to be removed from the surface of the tooth.
Porcelain Crowns (caps): A crown is a tooth-colored, custom-made covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. Crowns protect and strengthen teeth that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations. They are ideal for teeth that have large, fractured or broken fillings and also for those that are badly decayed.
Dental Implants: Dental implants are artificial roots that are surgically placed into the jaw to replace one or more missing teeth. Porcelain crowns, bridges, and dentures can be made specifically to fit and attach to implants, giving a patient a strong, stable, and durable solution to removable dental appliances.
Orthodontics: Less visible and more effective brackets and wires are making straightening teeth with orthodontics much more appealing to adult patients. Also, in some cases, teeth may be straightened with custom-made, clear, removable aligners that require no braces.
Thanks to the advances in modern dentistry, cosmetic treatments can make a difference in making your smile shine!
Porcelain veneers are very thin shells of tooth-shaped porcelain that are individually crafted to cover the fronts of teeth. They are very durable and will not stain, making them a very popular solution for those seeking to restore or enhance the beauty of their smile.
Veneers may be used to restore or correct the following dental conditions:
Getting veneers usually requires two visits. Veneers are created from an impression (mold) of your teeth that is then sent to a professional dental laboratory where each veneer is custom-made (for shape and color) for your individual smile.
With little or no anesthesia, teeth are prepared by lightly buffing and shaping the front surface of the teeth to allow for the small thickness of veneers. The veneers are carefully fitted and bonded onto the tooth surface with special bonding cements and occasionally a specialized light may be used to harden and set the bond.
Veneers are an excellent dental treatment that can dramatically improve your teeth and give you a natural, beautiful smile.
Since teeth whitening has now become the number one aesthetic concern of many patients, there are many products and methods available to achieve a brighter smile.
Professional teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel, and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile. Over-the-counter products are also available, but they are much less effective than professional treatments and may not be approved by the American Dental Association (ADA).
As we age, the outer layer of tooth enamel wears away, eventually revealing a darker or yellow shade. The color of our teeth also comes from the inside of the tooth, which may become darker over time. Smoking, drinking coffee, tea, and wine may also contribute to tooth discoloration, making our teeth yellow and dull. Sometimes, teeth can become discolored from taking certain medications as a child, such as tetracycline. Excessive fluoridation (fluorosis) during tooth development can also cause teeth to become discolored.
It's important to have your teeth evaluated by your dentist to determine if you're a good candidate for bleaching. Occasionally, tetracycline and fluorosis stains are difficult to bleach and your dentist may offer other options, such as veneers or crowns to cover up such stains. Since teeth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it is also important to evaluate replacement of any old fillings, crowns, etc. before bleaching begins. Once the bleaching is done, your dentist can match the new restorations to the shade of the newly whitened teeth.
Since teeth whitening is not permanent, a touch-up may be needed every several years to keep your smile looking bright.
The most widely used professional teeth whitening systems:
Home teeth whitening systems: At-home products usually come in a gel form that is placed in a custom-fitted mouthguard (tray), created from a mold of your teeth. The trays are worn either twice a day for approximately 30 minutes, or overnight while you sleep. It usually takes several weeks to achieve the desired results depending on the degree of staining and the desired level of whitening.
In office teeth whitening: This treatment is done in the dental office and you will see results immediately. It may require more than one visit, with each visit lasting 30 to 60 minutes. While your gums are protected, a bleaching solution is applied to the teeth. A special light may be used to enhance the action of the agent while the teeth are whitened.
Some patients may experience tooth sensitivity after having their teeth whitened. This sensation is temporary and subsides shortly after you complete the bleaching process, usually within a few days to one weak.
With many state-of-the-art dental treatments and prevention options available in dentistry today, there are fewer reasons for having to extract (remove) teeth. When something does go wrong with a tooth, we try to do everything possible to restore the tooth to its original function. Removing a tooth is the last option because we know that removal may lead to severe and costly dental and cosmetic problems if the tooth is not replaced. Losing a tooth can be a very traumatic experience and it's very unfortunate when it does happen. Injury, accident, fracture, severe dental decay, and gum disease are the major reasons for having to remove a tooth. If teeth are lost due to injury or have to be removed, it is imperative that they be replaced to avoid cosmetic and dental problems in the future. When a tooth is lost, the jaw bone that helped to support that tooth begins to atrophy, causing the teeth on either side to shift or tip into the open space of the lost tooth. Also, the tooth above or below the open space will start to move towards the open space because there is no opposing tooth to bite on. These movements may create problems such as decay, gum disease, excessive wear on certain teeth, and TMJ (jaw joint) problems. These problems and movements do not result immediately, but will eventually appear, compromising your chewing abilities, the health of your bite, and the beauty of your smile. Options for replacement of missing teeth: Removable bridges - This type of bridge is a good solution for replacing one or more missing teeth, especially in complex dental situations where other replacement options are not possible. They are usually made of tooth-colored, artificial teeth combined with metal clasps that hook onto adjacent natural teeth. Removable bridges are the most economical option for replacing missing teeth, but may be the least aesthetically pleasing. This is because the metal clasps on the appliances are often impossible to completely conceal. Fixed bridges - This type of bridge is generally made of porcelain or composite material and is anchored (cemented) permanently to a natural teeth adjacent to the missing tooth site. The benefit of this type of bridge is that it is fixed (not removable) and it is very sturdy. The disadvantage is that in order to create a fixed appliance, two healthy, natural teeth will have to be crowned (capped) to hold the bridge in place. Dentures - This type of tooth replacement is used when most or all of the natural teeth are missing in one dental arch. Dentures are removable artificial teeth that are made to closely resemble the patients' original teeth. Implants - Are a great way to replace one or more missing teeth. They may also be great to support ill fitting dentures. A dental implant is an artificial root that is surgically placed into the jaw bone to replace a missing tooth. An artificial tooth is placed on the implant, giving the appearance and feel of a natural tooth. Implants are very stable, durable, and are the most aesthetically pleasing tooth replacement option. If you are missing teeth, ask us if they need replacement and what options are available to you. Together we will select the best replacement option for your particular case. Prevention and early treatment is always less involved and less costly than delaying treatment and allowing a serious problem to develop.
Most of us have fillings in our mouths that date back many years and some may have even been placed during our childhood. These fillings may now be old, dark, and unattractive, making us feel self-conscious when we smile, laugh, and talk. Old fillings are not only unattractive, they may also be defective. When a filling is old, the margins (space between the tooth and filling) may eventually open and allow bacteria and food debris to enter, potentially causing dental decay.
Your dentist can check your fillings and evaluate if they are defective and need replacement. Also, if you simply want to replace fillings that are unattractive, you and your dentist can decide which ones should be replaced first and what replacement options would best suit you. There are many state-of-the-art dental filling materials and procedures available today that are quick, painless, and cost effective for replacing old, unattractive or defective fillings.
Options for replacing old, unattractive, or discolored fillings:
Composite (bonding) fillings - These are tooth-colored fillings that can be closely matched to the color of your existing teeth. They are particularly well suited for use in front teeth or visible parts of teeth and are one of the best ways to improve the health and beauty of your smile.
Crowns (Caps) - These types of restoration are used when a tooth is too damaged and cannot be repaired with a filling or other type of restoration. A crown is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens the remaining tooth structure and can be made of gold, porcelain, and other tooth-colored materials.
Inlays/Onlays - These restorations are custom made fillings. They can be made of composite resin, porcelain or gold and are made by a dental laboratory and placed by a dentist. Inlays/onlays are usually best for the posterior chewing surfaces of teeth and are utilized to conservatively repair teeth that have large defective/unattractive fillings or have been damaged by decay or trauma.
Porcelain veneers - Used primarily in the front teeth, veneers are very thin shells of tooth-shaped porcelain that are individually crafted and permanently cemented to the front surface of teeth. They are a great solution for fixing discolored, pitted, shipped, malformed, or slightly crooked teeth. Veneers are also used if you have unwanted spaces. Veneers are very durable, natural looking, and do not stain. This makes veneers a very popular solution for restoring a smile impaired by old, unattractive fillings.
As you can see, there are various options for replacing old, unattractive fillings. These treatments will provide strong, natural, and long-lasting replacement solutions to enhance the health and beauty of your smile.
Many people are unaware that having periodontal disease (the destruction of gum tissue and bone that hold our teeth in place) can affect your overall health. Periodontal disease is one of the most common infections; often more prevalent than the common cold! Periodontal disease is not only the number one reason people lose teeth; it can also affect the health of your body!
Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection, and in its earliest stages, it's called gingivitis. It starts when an accumulation of plaque (a colony of bacteria, food debris, and saliva) is NOT regularly removed from the gums and teeth. The bacteria in plaque produce toxins/acids that irritate and infect the gums and eventually destroy the jaw bone that supports the teeth. When periodontal disease is not treated it can eventually lead to tooth loss!
There are numerous studies that have looked into the correlation between gum disease and major medical conditions. These studies suggest people with periodontal disease are at a greater risk of systemic disease and indicate that periodontal disease may cause oral bacteria to enter the bloodstream and travel to major organs and begin new infections. Research suggests that periodontal bacteria in the blood stream may:
Researchers conclude there is still much research to be done to understand the link between periodontal disease and systemic diseases, but enough research has been done to support that infections in the mouth can play havoc elsewhere in the body.
To ensure a healthy, disease-free mouth, we recommend the importance of regular dental check-ups and cleanings, which include a periodontal evaluation. Also, diligent home care and a proper diet can help reduce the plaque and bacteria in the mouth.
Remember….the mouth body connection! Taking care of your oral health may contribute to your overall medical health!
Although thorough brushing and flossing remove most food particles and bacteria from easy to reach tooth surfaces, they do not reach the deep grooves on chewing surfaces of teeth. More than 75 percent of dental decay begins in these deep grooves (called pits and fissures). Toothbrush bristles are too large to possibly fit and clean most of these areas. This is where sealants play an important role.
A sealant is a thin plastic coating that covers and protects the chewing surfaces of molars, premolars, and any deep grooves or pits on teeth. Sealant material forms a protective, smooth barrier covering natural depressions and grooves in the teeth, making it much easier to clean and help keep these areas free of decay.
Who may need sealants?
Children and teenagers - As soon as the six-year molars (the first permanent back teeth) appear or any time throughout the cavity prone years of 6-16.
Infants - Baby teeth are occasionally sealed if the teeth have deep grooves and the child is cavity prone.
Adults - Tooth surfaces without decay that have deep grooves or depressions that are difficult to clean.
Sealants are easily applied by your dentist or dental hygienist and the process only takes minutes per tooth. After the chewing surfaces are roughened with an acid solution that helps the sealant adhere to the tooth, the sealant material is "painted" onto the tooth surface, where it hardens and bonds to the teeth. Sometimes a special light will be used to help the sealant material harden.
After sealant treatment, it's important to avoid chewing on ice cubes, hard candy, popcorn kernels, or any hard or sticky foods. Your sealants will be checked for wear and chipping at your regular dental check-up.
Combined with good home care, a proper diet, and regular dental check-ups, sealants are very effective in helping prevent tooth decay.
Dear Dr. Cheney,
"Thank you for gently filing, shaping and working like an artist on my teeth. I've been telling everyone about the simple procedure you performed in minutes that doesn't hurt and has such a huge impact.
Before you worked on my teeth, they were chipped and looked uneven. What a transformation when you rounded them and "worked your magic" to soften my smile in a way that resulted in my teeth now looking perfect.
Thank you for the smile makover!"
Kim Bass
Dear Dr. Cheney and your marvelous Staff,
I wanted to take a minute to thank you all for making our dental health not only easy but enjoyable. My husband and I both grew up with an aversion to the dentist due to many reasons to he point that niether of us actually went to a dentist for close to a decade.
About 6 years ago I had a tooth break in half due to an unattended cavity and no longer had a choice about going to a dentist. I went to one that was recommended to me by my in-laws and although he was able to give me a semi-permanent fix for that he did nothing to change my mind about dentists in general and in all honesty I was ready to go back to my old ways once he was done. However I have a conscious and had make a promise to my mother that I would start going back for regular dental checkups. I decided to find a dentist closer to my home than the one I had just seen and went online and typed denists in Amesbury, MA. Your information was the first one to show up and you were within walking distance of the apartment I lived in at the time, add to that you were accepting new patients and that is how you became my dentist.
Approximately 5 years ago I walkid into your office for my first appointment with the mindset that all dentists were the same and I was dreading what was just a routine cleaning, Well, your hygienist changed my midset from "this is going to be painful" to "well that wasn't so bad", in fact it wasn't bad at all. Then you came in. By the time I had left I was almost looking forward to my next appointment which was to initially replace a filling that turned into a cracked tooth needing a crown. (I know that is kind of odd).
When I got home I informed my husband that he was going to be seeing you for a cleaning and check up and if he didn't make the appointment I would. He wasn't exactly thrilled with my wifely prodding (aka nagging) but did it to shut me up. Here we are all these years later and niether of us minds going to the dentist, in fact in a strange way I find it to be relaxing and fun experience (providing I have been diligent with the brushing and flossing that is).
In closeing I would like to thank you and your staff foe curing us of our dislike (for me pretty much fear) of dentist and for keeping our teeth healthy! You really are a marvelous group!

2018 Pontiac Trans Am Firebird Concept
The upgraded version of Pontiac Trans Am will come to public as 2018 year model. The arrival of the new Pontiac has been much awaited as the current vehicle has been flourishing with its classic American style and appearance. Built up as modern convertible, the design outlook of Trans Am is most inspired to the Camaro model. Thus, later we might notice some Camaro characteristics on the future Trans Am. The details on the coupe changes are not known for now, however, after doing a test run, the pictures on the Pontiac is getting obvious. Targeting its potential buyers, the 2018 Pontiac Trans Am should be attractive with the new features and improvements offered.
As adopting some styling of Camaro, the external element of Pontiac looks almost alike. However, the auto designer has also made some improvements on it. In the front end, the bumper is restyled and accompanied with the new grille. Enhancing the LED technology on the headlights will give the better reach visibility on the dark condition. Some parts on the rear part also get the noticeable refreshments. Overall, the exterior design of the Trans Am will be more modern and impressive than its previous model.
Next seeing to the coupe interior, there will be more luxurious and elegant nuances provided. On the inside components, the steering wheel is formed to have a flat design. Centered on the car dashboard, several sophisticated technological features for the infotainment and security systems are also installed. To serve the passengers' comfort, the car seats are going to be covered with the premium leather materials. We are still looking forward to the follow-up betterment on the 2018 Pontiac Trans Am internal part.
Under the bonnet, the engine for the 2018 Pontiac Trans Am coupe will be available in two different options. First engine comes from a 3.6 liter V6 unit with the output of 305 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. Along with the current engine, the Trans Am could reach the speed of 155 MPH. Another selected engine will be 6.2 liter V8 as in Firebird version. The drivetrain could produce the power of 420 HP and 385 pound-feet of torque. The top speed is just similar at 155 miles per hour.
Release Date and Price
According to the latest predictions, the debut of the Trans Am could be conducted nearly by the end of 2016. The base price for the 2018 Pontiac Trans Am starts at $23,000. The above information might change at any time due to the official confirmation is announced.

The day started off with a light scattering of clouds and bright sunshine so I had high hopes for a beautiful sunset. But all that changed at the last minute, the clouds thickened and there was little chance of the sky lighting up tonight. This didn't dampen my spirits as I was determined to get out with my new best friend (Olympus 17mm f/1.8). So it was time for a change of plan, I headed towards the foot of the downs were within 5 minutes I knew I had the well known windmills of "The Jack and Jill", the Clayton tunnel and Clayton Church. With clouds thickening fast and shutting out whatever remained of the evening sun (hence the title of this blog) I made the most of what the weather had dealt me.
First image was captured walking up past Jack and Jill. I saw this old farmers trailer abandoned next to his farm track. Captured handheld at ISO400, f/2.5 @ 1/30
Looking back up at the windmill, captured handheld at ISO250, f/5.6 @ 1/8
Stumbling across an old mill stone, aperture open wide to f/1.8. The image below was captured at ISO640 1/10 handheld.
The Olympus 17mm f/1.8 is soon becoming my new best friend, and whilst I didn't think it would replace my Panasonic 25mm f/1.4 after using it for 24 hours I actually wonder how much use the Panny will get. Focusing is snap sharp and on initial testing AF can lock on considerable closer than the Panasonic 25mm. I love the feel and accuracy of the snap ring and I know I will find myself manually focusing a lot more as a result of this. The build quality is what I have come to expect from olympus (amazing), and it feels and looks right at home on the OM-D. I can't believe it has taken me this long to invest in this lens and for anyone out there who wants the traditional 35mm focal length this has to be without a doubt the lens to buy.
Heading down the hill stopping at Clayton church, captured handheld at ISO640, f/4 @ 1/6
Across the road is Clayton tunnel, captured handheld at ISO640, f/4 @ 1/15
I intend to write several more reviews of this lens testing it's capabilities so be sure to stay tuned.

Churchill Downs: Dean's Kitten retired with injury
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Wednesday morning Ken Ramsey announced the retirement of Dean's Kitten, winner of the Grade 2 Lane's End in 2010 and runner-up by a nose to Cape Blanco in the Grade 1 Turf Classic last fall.
Retirement with an injured tendon – such news would be enough to devastate most owners, who might only dream of owning a horse such as Dean's Kitten, a horse who made more than $800,000 for trainer Mike Maker.
But Ramsey – who co-owns Dean's Kitten with his wife, Sarah – seemed in a jovial mood Wednesday, dreaming of what might unfold with the other top horses in his stable, as soon as this Sunday, when his homebred Real Solution takes an unbeaten 3-for-3 record into the Group 2 Italian Derby.
"I'm leaving at 2:30, me and my son, flying to Rome this afternoon," Ramsey said Wednesday morning.
Frankie Dettori rides Real Solution.
If things go well with his horses in the coming weeks, Ramsey has more overseas ventures planned.
He anticipates having six horses ready for the prestigious Royal Ascot meeting in mid-June, with Stephanie's Kitten, last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner, being one of his top hopes. She is being pointed toward the Coronation Stakes there June 22.
Also being targeted for Royal Ascot races by Ramsey are Sisterhood, Redwood Kitten, Big Blue Kitten, Hyper, and Royal Solution.
He said his group, with all but Hyper being by Ramsey's stallion Kitten's Joy, would likely ship around June 9, and Ramsey is excitedly planning on being in attendance for the Royal Ascot meet.
He said he has received considerable financial offers for Stephanie's Kitten and Real Solution, but he would be unlikely to sell full or partial interest in Stephanie's Kitten until after Royal Ascot. And no sale would be considered on Real Solution until after Sunday's Italian Derby.
As for Dean's Kitten, stud plans have not been finalized. He said the most likely scenarios would be to sell him as a stud prospect, or stand Dean's Kitten himself in New York next year.
