Lehoux with Canadiens after year in Russiaby Lindsay Kramer
Going to Russia last season could wind up as the best move that center Yanick Lehoux ever disliked.
"It made me a better person and a better player," he said last week.
If that's true, the rest of the AHL should be on notice.
Lehoux, 26, signed a free-agent deal with the Canadiens organization last month. He spent most of last season skating with Khimik Mytishi of the Russian Super League. That was something of a rebound option after playing just seven games in San Antonio because the team had too many veterans.
The way Lehoux describes it now, he might have had more fun working as a stick-boy with the Rampage than going overseas. It was nothing against the Russians or the country, but he, like many North American players who give that country a try, found the culture a little too rigid and suffocating.
"When you go into rush hour, it's worth a ticket to see that," he said. "It's chaos. It's every man for himself. I experienced the lifestyle in Russia. It wasn't a good fit for me."
But here's the thing, as wild and unorganized as Russia seemed on the streets, it was the direct opposite on the ice. The disciplined systems at least introduced him to the concepts of defense and structured play, which could make him an even more valuable commodity here.
"Sometimes you have to take a step back to go forward," he said. "I felt I was standing still a little bit in my career. I've matured. It (Russia) made me realize how bad I want to play in the NHL. The game has changed. You need to be a more complete player."
If Lehoux is approaching that level, he's traveled a long way to get there. In 2004-05, he was a monster for Manchester, scoring 54 points in 38 games before a knee injury ended his season. The next season he bounced around among two teams in Switzerland, Phoenix of the NHL and Manchester and San Antonio of the AHL. In 2006-07, he produced 73 points in 72 games for the Rampage.
"I think I'm the same guy (offensively). I don't think you can take away skills," he said. "What happened in the past is there. There's nothing I can do about it. It was a crazy couple of years for me. But I don't think there's a defined recipe for success."
Paddock learning the ropes -- New Phantoms coach John Paddock is candid when assessing his current preparedness for the job.
"I don't know their young players," Paddock said last week. "I don't have a clue about our roster. I'm not very good on the Internet. I looked at their stats from last year. But I don't know how many of those players will be back."
Something about Paddock suggests that he'll get it all together in more than enough time. That something is the three Calder Cups that Paddock has earned with three AHL teams.
Paddock's unfamiliarity with the Phantoms is understandable considering he had no reason to focus on the team until less than two weeks ago. Relieved of his coaching duties with Ottawa last season, he was prepared to scout for the Senators this year.
"I was looking forward to scouting for Ottawa. I thought since nothing had happened, that's how it was going to shake out. I would call it the opportunity to go back and work with the Flyers. It was too good an opportunity to pass by."
-- John Paddock
"It was out of the blue. I wasn't desperate for a job," he said. "I was looking forward to scouting for Ottawa. I thought since nothing had happened, that's how it was going to shake out. I would call it the opportunity to go back and work with the Flyers. It was too good an opportunity to pass by."
If Paddock still has his magic touch within the organization, the Phantoms could be playing well into the spring. Two of his AHL titles came behind the bench of Philadelphia affiliates -- Maine in 1984 and Hershey in 1988. He also led Hartford to the title in 2000, and his 542 career AHL wins rank third in league history.
"It is no factor in me coaching this year, but I'm aware of those numbers," Paddock said. "There's only one team that wins every year. Things have to fall right. You have to have the right mix of players. I'm not thinking about the Calder Cup right now, or even really hockey. We have to see what the team is."
Ling headed to Switzerland -- The AHL will be a little quieter place this season.
Forward David Ling, one of the league's all-time great agitators who backed up his words with production, has agreed to a deal to play in Switzerland. Ling, 33, doesn't necessarily want to shut down his North American career. It's just that, according to him, no NHL organization was interested in his demographic.
"My agent just said they came back with, going younger, going younger, going younger," Ling said. "I would have liked to have stayed. But maybe it's time to start a career over there. Yeah, I'd come back. But it'd have to be worth my while."
Ling admitted to a little bit of sadness, "now for sure that the NHL's over." He said his playing career itself isn't done, joking that he needs the employment because "I can't read or write."
"I think I have six or seven more years left in me," he said. "Just not in the AHL."
AHL coaches in demand -- Scott Gordon's ascension to the bench boss of the Islanders from Providence earlier this week continued a remarkable run that shows the NHL considers the AHL as much of a proving ground for coaches as players.
Of the 29 AHL head coaches on opening night of 2007, nine are now head coaches or assistants in the NHL. They are John Anderson (Atlanta head coach), Craig Berube (Philadelphia assistant coach), Bruce Boudreau (Washington head coach), Kelly Buchberger (Edmonton assistant), Randy Cunneyworth (Atlanta assistant), Gordon, Mike Haviland (Chicago assistant), Todd Richards (San Jose assistant) and Tom Rowe (Carolina assistant).
Gordon becomes the seventh former Pieri Award winner (Coach of the Year) in the NHL, joining Haviland (2007), Cunneyworth (2005), Columbus assistant Claude Noel (2004), Boston head coach Claude Julien (2003), Carolina head coach Peter Laviolette (1999) and Nashville head coach Barry Trotz (1994).

Cessna CE-188Aviones de Colombia Sa AgTrainer
First flown on 19 February 1965, the Agwagon was Cessna's first production low-wing single. Utilising as many model 180 parts as possible, the Agwagon was sensibly priced and proved a good seller.The Cessna Model 188 AGwagon (later renamed AG Wagon) is a braced low-wing monoplane of all-metal construction, with non-retractable tailwheel landing gear, and accommodation for the pilot in an enclosed cabin protected by a steel overturn structure.Power was provided by either a 172kW Continental IO-470-R or a 224kW Continental IO-520-D engine for the AGwagon 230 or AGwagon 300 respectively. Standard agricultural equipment included a 757-litre or 816kg capacity glassfibre hopper between the engine firewall and the cabin, and optional dusting or spraying equipment was available.An increasing market for the AGwagon resulted in the introduction of a new model of this aircraft in late 1971; plus two additional versions designated as the AGpickup and AGtruck. The AGpickup was the basic model, a new name applied to the Continental O-470-R version of the original AGwagon; the Continental IO-520-D AGwagon was renamed AGwagon C and introduced a number of detail refinements; and the AGtruck was generally similar to the AGwagon C, except for the provision of a 1060-litre hopper plus a complete spray system and a wide range of equipment as standard. Of these three types the AGpickup was discontinued in 1976, and production of the AGwagon ended during 1981, after 1,589 had been built.The final production version, introduced in 1979, was the T188C AG-HUSKY was powered by a turbocharged 310 hp / 231kW TSIO-520-T engine. US conversions to 400 hp are known of. Three hundred and eighty-five Cessna T188C AgHuskys, variants of the popular Cessna Agwagon and AgTruck agricultural aircraft, were built until late in 1985 when production ended.In total, 1949 CE-188 were builtA two-seat conversion was per-formed on three Cessna Al88 Agwagons for Hazelton Air Services of Cudal, NSW. Aerosmith converted VH-DOD (s/n AI 88-0125) at Sydney in 1967. Major work included widening the rear fuselage and installing a raised turtledeck. The cockpit sides are near vertical and a much larger windscreen fitted. The flying controls were shifted to the port side, but dual controls were not fitted. When a second aircraft was required, Aerosmith converted and certified another aircraft on 18 January 1971. The aircraft, VH-KVA (s/n A188-0169), was registered as a Cessna A.188A/2 on 07 May 1971. A third aircraft (s/n A188-0066) was also converted and registered in February 1972. This aircraft was damaged beyond repair in January 1984 and first conversion, VH--DOD, was written off in 1986.Aviones de Colombia Sa, originally a Cessna dealership (1961), then also assembled selected Cessna aircraft, produced a two-seat training derivative of the Cessna AgTruck, known as AgTrainer.CE-A188 AgPickup Engine: 230 hp.

Members of the Diabetes Research Center at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University proudly display the special proclamation they received from Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion on World Diabetes Day, Wednesday, November 14, 2007. The proclamation recognizes the research and clinical efforts made by Einstein's notable diabetes researchers on behalf of members of the Bronx community. Pictured are: (from left, standing) Dr. Norman Fleischer, Barkey professor of medicine and co-director of Einstein's Diabetes Research and Training Center, and Dr. Harry Shamoon, associate dean for clinical and translational research and professor of medicine at Einstein; and (seated) health educators Emelinda Blanco and Giovanna Calderon, flanking Dr. Elizabeth Walker, professor of medicine and of epidemiology and population health.
November 26, 2007 - (BRONX, NY) -On World Diabetes Day, November 14, Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion issued a special proclamation recognizing the notable efforts of diabetes researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University. In addition to acknowledging the special day that has been established by the United Nations and World Health Organization to raise greater awareness of diabetes worldwide, Mr. Carrion heralded the impact that the work of researchers at Einstein's Diabetes Research Center have had on the local community.
For over 30 years, Einstein's Diabetes Research Center has been recognized as a center of excellence by the National Institutes of Health. The Center's scientists conduct studies to improve understanding of the causes of diabetes and its complications, to identify targets for more effective treatments, to promote diabetes self management for improved control, and to prevent the disease, particularly in minority and underserved populations.
For example, Dr. Elizabeth A. Walker, professor of medicine and of epidemiology and population health at Einstein, recently received a 5-year $2.3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to evaluate a telephone-based health education intervention to improve diabetes control for individuals in the Bronx. This study is in collaboration with the Diabetes Prevention and Control Program of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). The study was made possible because the DOHMH recently developed a hemoglobin A1C Registry for all of New York City. (A1C is measured in the blood to determine the blood sugar control for those with diabetes; health professionals recommend an A1C level of less than 7% for most people with diabetes, to improve health outcomes). For this research, the registry will track A1C levels of individuals with diabetes who agree to participate in Dr. Walker's study, to determine whether they benefit from a telephone-based health education intervention to reduce their A1C levels.
On World Diabetes Day it was noted that diabetes has reached epidemic proportions - the first time in history that a non-infectious disease has been seen as a serious global health threat. There are currently 246 million people around the world living with diabetes; 21 million are in the U.S. According to the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the Bronx has the highest rate of diabetes among the City's five boroughs. Many more people are at risk for diabetes -- and are unaware of this risk to their health. To learn more about World Diabetes Day, visit the website www.worlddiabetesday.org/; to learn more about diabetes, its symptoms and related complications, visit the National Diabetes Education Program website at www.ndep.nih.gov or the American Diabetes Association website at www.diabetes.org; and to learn more about the work of Einstein's diabetes researchers, visit http://www.aecom.yu.edu/Diabetes/page.aspx.

June 28 — The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to consider whether Miami may allege lending bias against Bank of America and Wells Fargo in a case that could fuel or scuttle similar suits by other cities against big banks ( Bank of Am. Corp. v. Miami, U.S., No. 15-cv-01111, cert. granted 6/28/16 Wells Fargo & Co. v. Miami, U.S., No. 15-cv-01112, cert. granted 6/28/16 ).
Bank of America and Wells Fargo in March asked the justices to review a September federal appeals court ruling that said Miami has standing to assert its claims under the Fair Housing Act. Miami says discriminatory loans led to widespread foreclosures, increased municipal expenditures and lower tax revenue (48 BBD, 3/11/16).
Valerie Hletko, a partner with BuckleySandler in Washington who represents financial institutions, said a ruling against Miami would be a blow to other city-filed lawsuits against lenders that base standing on similar claims.
"The bottom would fall out of all of them with a ruling by the Supreme Court that a plaintiff under the Fair Housing Act must be within the zone of interests Congress intended to protect," Hletko told Bloomberg BNA in a June 28 e-mail.
The court's June 28 decision to hear the dispute, now consolidated into one case, also sets the stage for more application of its June 2015 decision in Tex. Dep't of Hous. v. Inclusive Cmtys. Project, Inc.
The Inclusive Communities case said the Fair Housing Act allows claims of disparate impact discrimination in addition to claims of disparate treatment. Unlike claims of disparate treatment, disparate impact claims allege discriminatory effects, with no need to show an intent to discriminate (123 BBD 6/26/15).
The case was decided on a 5-4 vote, with now-deceased Justice Antonin Scalia joining dissenters Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., and Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito, Jr.
Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, who wrote the majority opinion, laid out a set of "cautionary standards" on how lower courts are to apply the ruling.
According to Hletko, the court's June 28 decision to grant the Bank of America and Wells Fargo petitions may mean the justices have more to say on that subject.
"It may signal that the Supreme Court is prepared to put teeth into its decision in Inclusive Communities, which clarified and stiffened the hurdles that plaintiffs must clear in order to plead and prove disparate impact discrimination," Hletko said.
Although the court won't hear the case until its next term, briefing could begin this summer.
In a June 28 e-mail, Bank of America spokesman Lawrence Grayson said the bank "is fully committed to the anti-discrimination principles underlying the Fair Housing Act and supports the law's role in protecting individuals from being unfairly deprived of housing."
"But we believe that a municipality seeking purely monetary recovery is not covered by the statute, and we welcome the Supreme Court's scrutiny and clarity," he said.
Wells Fargo spokesman Tom Goyda also welcomed the action by the justices. "We appreciate the Supreme Court's decision today and look forward to presenting our strong argument that the city does not have standing under the Fair Housing Act to make the claims it put forth in its lawsuits against Wells Fargo and other lenders," Goyda told Bloomberg BNA in a June 28 e-mail.
The underlying cases by Miami against Bank of America and Wells Fargo are still ongoing in federal court in Florida, along with a separate but similar lawsuit by Miami against Citigroup.
The city recently filed amended complaints against all three institutions, saying defects in previous filings have been cured and that the suits should go forward ( Miami v. Bank of Am., S.D. Fla., No. 13-cv-24506, brief filed 6/10/16 ; Miami v. Wells Fargo & Co., S.D. Fla., No. 13-cv-24508, brief filed 6/10/16 ; Miami v. Citigroup, S.D. Fla., No. 13-cv-24510, brief filed 6/10/16 ).
Although Bank of America and Wells Fargo say Miami lacks standing for its suit, all three banks have raised a separate objection to Judge William P. Dimitrouleas of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. According to the banks, Miami failed to file its claims properly within the Fair Housing Act's two-year statute of limitations.
All three institutions are battling lawsuits by other cities and local governments that similarly allege economic injury due to discriminatory loans.
Among others, two are on appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Those were brought by Los Angeles, which sued Bank of America and Wells Fargo under the Fair Housing Act only to have its claims rejected.

So usually when someone who has been on an intense diet and blogs about it but doesn't update for a while it's usually because "life happened", they went off the plan, and they don't want to admit it. These folks also often talk about having been "out of the box", which is HMR speak for eating things you're not supposed to.
Fear not - that's not the case here. I'm just lazy. (This is the secret to my success on HMR.) My official HMR stats are 79 pounds in 17 weeks. The actual total weight loss on *my* scale is about 104 pounds. (That also includes the weight I loss in between attending the HMR orientation and actually starting the program - about 1.5 months.) I've been entirely in the box for these 17 weeks - and that's why the scale says what it does.
When I ducked under 360 that was pretty big for me because I remember seeing the scale at 460 and going "OMGWTFBBQ11!1!!!!". I'm also looking forward to 350 since that's the max weight for many things like bicycles and gym equipment. Sadly, that milestone isn't very far away so it's gonna be here quick. The next one will obviously be seeing the most significant digit go from "3" to "2".
I really need to dig up some pictures or something - when I look in the mirror the changes don't look that dramatic to me. They do to some folks, not to others. I know there are changes though - for Christmas my dad bought me 2 pairs of jeans that had 66" waists. I just bought a new pair (of actual Levi brand) jeans that were 60". That's 6" off. Plus things fit better in the leg and butt. (A large part of the loss has been in my butt. Don't ask me how I know.) I also had to pick up a new belt because even with all the extra holes the old belt was just looking wrong. (Hey Rochester here's a hint - when your house brand belt is the same price as the Ralph Lauren belt I'm going RL.)
The one thing that was cool was that my "nice" clothes fit again. I started buying some pimp gear at Rochester Big and Tall back in 2002-ish. Lotsa stuff with horsies on it. None of it had fit for a while. (Heck, I've got a pair of pants that still have the tags on them.) I weigh much less now than when I bought it - more proof that it's not coming off my belly as fast as it is coming off from other places. But then again it's stuff that barely fit when I bought it. It really fits now. "Shopping in your own closet" is nice and doesn't cost much. I don't think the stuff will fit for long but I'll enjoy it while it does. I'll dress up and scare my co-workers. (Wearing nice clothes to the office usually means you're interviewing somewhere.) Obviously I'm trying to avoid dumping too much cash into clothes right now. But at a minimum I need to have, at any given time, two pairs of jeans that fit, underwear, a belt, and t-shirts. I'm gonna buy jeans one pair at a time - see if I can wait until I'm down to 56-ish before buying another pair. I guess I'll usually have one pair that's a bit snug and one pair that's a bit loose.
I also needed new undies and have discovered the magic of boxer briefs. How did I not know about these things? They're awesome. My giblets are pleased. I'm *really* looking foward to hitting 3X size because I think stuff like the compression gear that Under Armour makes will be helpful. Things are getting flabby enough that I wanna keep it strapped down.
I'm looking forward to my trip to Florida - I wonder if I'll still need a belt extender. Maybe. I'm sure the seat will be more comfortable. I'm still flying in first class - I'm not ready for the trauma of coach yet. But I'll just make a shake (or eat a cold bean entree - not too bad) and enjoy the ride.

1 This prediction, that the city (Jerusalem) should then "be taken, and the sanctuary burnt, by right of war, when a sedition should invade Jews, and their own hands should pollute that temple;" or, as it is B. VI. ch. 2. sect. 1, "when any one should begin to slay his countrymen in the city;" is wanting in our present copies of the Old Testament. See Essay on the Old Test. p. 104--112. But this prediction, as Josephus well remarks here, though, with the other predictions of the prophets, it was now laughed at by the seditious, was by their very means soon exactly fulfilled. However, I cannot but here take notice of Grotius's positive assertion upon Matthew 26:9, here quoted by Dr. Hudson, that "it ought to be taken for granted, as a certain truth, that many predictions of the Jewish prophets were preserved, not in writing, but by memory." Whereas, it seems to me so far from certain, that I think it has no evidence nor probability at all.

text: I was reading some of the older reviews of trails around Fort collins and noticed a few mentions of "the old A trail". Where was this at? Was it closed down because it was too close to the dam? Is it still there? Also someone wrote a review of "the tropics". Is this just another name for the trails at the end of Laporte ave.?


text: John Kerry, the US secretary of state, has called on Syrian government forces and rebel groups to declare a ceasefire, particularly in Aleppo, as intense fighting continues to ravage the city. "Both sides - the opposition and the regime - have contributed to this chaos," Kerry told reporters in Geneva, speaking alongside United Nations special envoy to Syria Staffan de Mistura. "We are working over these next hours intensely in order to try and restore this cessation of hostilities." Referring to the bombing of the al-Quds hospital and other clinics in the eastern, rebel-controlled part of the city, Kerry said: "The regime has clearly indicated a willingness over a period of time now to attack first responders, to attack healthcare workers and rescue workers. It has to stop." Kerry said that he would speak to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov by telephone on Monday afternoon. De Mistura said he would then travel to Moscow on Tuesday to meet Lavrov. Diplomatic pressure was mounting to extend a ceasefire to Aleppo province after hundreds of people were killed there over 10 days. "We are preparing the mechanism, but the mechanism needs the political will," de Mistura said, adding that plans were under way for a "much better mechanism for monitoring and controlling a new ceasefire". Russian officials said on Sunday that they were calling on the Syrian government to include Aleppo in a temporary truce already in place in Latakia and around the capital Damascus. 'Close to collapse' Government forces and rebels are battling each other for the city, with each side controlling different neighbourhoods. As of Sunday, more than 250 civilians, including 49 children and 31 women, had been killed in 10 days of renewed fighting between government forces and rebels, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The group said 145 civilians were killed by air strikes on rebel-controlled neighbourhoods. It also said that at least 100 civilians "were killed when tens of shells, homemade rockets and explosive cylinders [hit] places controlled by the regime forces in Aleppo". The Observatory did not identify the planes attacking rebel-controlled areas. More than 200 civilians have been killed in the last 10 days, according to activists [Abdalrhman Ismail/Reuters] Local journalist Zouhir Al Shimale said an air strike on the Helluk neighbourhood on Monday wounded several people, while at least three people were killed in barrel-bomb attacks on Kafr Hamra in the countryside outside Aleppo. Russia and the Syrian government had previously said the presence of al-Nusra Front, which was not party to a February 27 ceasefire, justified the offensive on Aleppo. The Syrian army and the Russian defence ministry said on Monday that the truce around Damascus, which began on Saturday, had been extended for another two days. Talks in Geneva to agree a lasting, wider ceasefire were in jeopardy as the Syrian opposition said it would walk out if the air strikes on Aleppo did not stop. Al Jazeera's James Bays, reporting from the Swiss city, said both opposition delegates and diplomats were questioning Russia's role in peace efforts. "Many diplomats will tell you Russia is not properly invested in this political process, that instead it seems they are pursuing or allowing their allies to pursue a military option," he said. "The process is very close to collapse if they cannot get the cessation of hostilities back in place." A Syrian pro-government newspaper said on Thursday that the army was preparing an offensive to recapture all of Aleppo and the surrounding province. The Arab League is weighing an emergency meeting to discuss the situation. State news agency SANA said on Sunday that six civilians were killed and 40 others injured in rebel rocket attacks on the residential neighbourhoods of al-Midan, al-Sulaimaniyah and al-Sayyid Ali.

This week started off pretty exciting, as Kendrick Lamar announced a European tour which would see him return to the UK for the first time since 2013. But, because the world isn't fair, touts somehow managed to get every single ticket, with the main page sold out by 9.01am, and the tickets up on resale sites for double the price by 9.03am.
This confirms my longheld belief that ticket touts are just the worst kind of people, the lowest of the low. But that's another rant for another time. You came here for some new music, so that's what you're going to get. Here are five things you should be listening to this weekend.
Stormzy – 4pm in London
Saying Stormzy has had a busy 2017 would be a bit of an understatement. Back in February he dropped his debut album, Gang Signs & Prayer, which is up there with my favourite records of the year so far. Since then, he's been on tour, hit up a whole host of festivals, won awards, created a short film to go with his album, and provided cracking feature verses for a handful of songs. So, pretty busy. But he's not done yet. This week he released 4PM in London, which sees him freestyling over Drake's 4PM In Calabasas beat, and further cements his place as one of the UK's most talented artists. And he's confirmed he's working on a second album too – no rest for the wicked, eh.
Little Dragon – Peace of Mind (Feat. Faith Evans)
Little Dragon released a new track this week, which sees them veer saway from their usual bouncy electro-pop sound. Peace of Mind sees the group team up with 90s RnB legend Faith Evans, with Raphael Saadiq helping out on production.
Whitney – You and Me
Whitney fans were given a treat this week, as it was announced that the Chicago band would be releasing a compilation of every demo for their debut album Light Upon the Lake this November. You and Me is the first track to be shared from this collection and makes you feel like you're being transported back to the summer of love.
Jorja Smith – On My Mind (Acoustic)
It's only been a few weeks since Jorja Smith released On My Mind, her garage inspired collaboration with Preditah – which is still in my daily Spotify rotation. Well, this week she released a stripped-back acoustic version of the track, which is much more reminiscent of some of her previous records and takes the song in a completely new direction.
Daphni – Carry On
Finally, we've got new music from Daphni, aka Caribou's Dan Snaith. Today he released Joli Mai, his latest album which features extended versions of songs from his recent fabriclive 93 mix as well as some brand new music.

tu face nescio quos esto contentus amores
inritare tua, nec laudes adsere nostras!' 1.461-2One of the very Italian things about Ovid is his sprezzatura -- his art of concealing art. Every time we blithely skate from one tale to the next as though we were changing channels on TV, we run the risk of missing some degree of pertinence arising from the relation of one tale to the next.
At least we might ask, as we run, say, from the tale of the flood in Metamorphoses 1 to that of Apollo slaying the Python to the vivid pursuit of Daphne, whether there is some connection to be made, some relation worth considering, between these tales. Are they just individual items on a chain, or could they form segments of a larger semantic structure?
|Heracles & Hydra: Louvre
To take just a brief passage - from 1.416 - 451 -- it's worth noting that the language of the first part is explanatory, scientific, the linking of cause and effect:
In fact when heat and moisture are mixed they conceive, and from these two things the whole of life originates. And though fire and water fight each other, heat and moisture create everything, and this discordant union is suitable for growth. So when the earth muddied from the recent flood glowed again heated by the deep heaven-sent light of the sun she produced innumerable species, partly remaking previous forms, partly creating new monsters.This is the voice of science, shining the clear light of Apollonian knowledge on the secrets of how life begins.
The next section, introducing the Python, shifts gears. It shows Apollo himself actively and strenuously intervening in what had been a more or less objective series of observations. He's using his powers to destroy this monstrum that was frightening the new race of men, just produced from Deucalion and Pyrrha's stones. There seems a tension between the huge living forms arising from the discors concordia of heat and humidity and the human forms arising from intentionally thrown rocks. Apollo uses nearly all his arrows to kill the serpent, becoming the first in a line of dragon killers. The poisonous monster dies, but its remains become a feature of Delphi. Instead of dwelling on all this, Ovid moves to Apollo's delight in Fama:
Lest in a dark oblivion time should hideThis sets up the segue to Daphne and the laurel, though not without some interesting ambiguities. Is Apollo's killing of the Python an heroico/medical intervention, ridding the earth of a plague, as he and his son will be called upon to do so often later on? Or is there also the spirit of the warrior in play -- the warrior who, after his derring-do, insists upon its being memorialized? Note that Apollo didn't create the oak leaves (aesculus, an interesting homophone with his serpent/son Aesculapius) to memorialize the games. He created the games to memorialize his triumph over the serpent.
the fame of this achievement, sacred sports
he instituted, from the Python called
"The Pythian Games." In these the happy youth
who proved victorious in the chariot race,
running and boxing, with an honoured crown
of oak leaves was enwreathed. (Brookes Moore trans.)
the Delian god, exulting at his victory over the serpent, had seen him bending his tightly strung bow and said 'Impudent boy, what are you doing with a man's weapons? That one is suited to my shoulders, since I can hit wild beasts of a certainty, and wound my enemies, and not long ago destroyed with countless arrows the swollen Python that covered many acres with its plague-ridden belly. You should be intent on stirring the concealed fires of love with your burning brand, not laying claim to my glories!'Who's childish here? Apollo is so jealous of his laudes that he takes issue, unprovoked, with what seems the toy of a child. And that's what opens the way to the god's fall into love, a new contest in which he fails to conquer and is conquered, and which he again memorializes by appointing the newly created laurel as his symbol of excellence and victory.
What emerges from following the logic of the sequence of moments could suggest some things about Apollo worth keeping in mind: He takes strong objection to things that seem improper, giant venomous (and anomalous) serpents that spring up spontaneously from battling elements, for example. He might be the god of scientific knowledge, but if something unknown and potentially harmful comes along, he moves swiftly from scientific observer to active aggressor, who in turn rapidly becomes inflated, excessively large, with the uncontrolled pride of triumph. It's in his moment of self-glorying that Apollo chooses to incite the spite of Amor. To know, in this Apollonian sense, involves clear perception and judgment, but here the act of judgment bleeds (literally) into active control -- the object, the world over against the mind, is never surely and immaculately free from the subject's kingly ordering power and possessiveness.
Apollo is the god of order, and will use violence to impose it upon a world growing unwieldy. But the victory only acquires meaning in its re-presentation: the Pythian games are games, events, but they are also the constant reminder of his proper glory, of which he's quite jealous. One of the questions a reader of Ovid needs to always bear in mind is, "to what extent is this event an action, a development in history, as opposed to being a sign of something else?" To understand history, we need to be able to distinguish acts from signs. This problem is not peculiar to Ovid, but it certainly is worth noting that it's there.
Apollo, the god of knowledge, of proper limits, of representation, is shown in and through the motives and actions of his character. His own son won't even come into the world without the mother's death by Apollonian arrow. Proper names, the world of knowledge, science, mimesis, celebratory individualism -- all these are Apollo (Nietzsche's principium individuationis, but not necessarily with all the Germanic trappings). To "grasp" Apollo it's necessary to see how he rules, and how he doesn't.
Note that the selection of this segment of Book 1 was fairly arbitrary -- running from the instant of new earthly life after the flood to the metamorphosis of Daphne into a tree. One can always begin before, or end beyond. The unifying motif here is the god. Anyone could ask, though, what about the next story, of Io and Jupiter? This would entail exploring the interrelations of larger segments of the poem. Ovid carefully paired certain stories, framed others, and metamorphosed others. If there's a "part 3" to this series of posts, it will attempt to look at how certain larger elements might relate.

Dear Parents/Carers
Given the recent events in London and Manchester, I wanted to update you and reassure you on our current plans for the upcoming Business trip.
Since the recent incidents, we have been in contact with and sought advice from Cornwall Council who are responsible for authorising and advising on residential trips. At the moment County guidelines state that extra care, caution and vigilance should be taken and have in a recent meeting approved for all trips to continue to go ahead as planned. As such, at this moment in time, I am still planning to run the trip. We will, of course, keep up to date with the latest information and review the situation if necessary.
I would also like to re-assure you that at no point will students be unsupervised whilst outside and on the streets. This did happen last year in different circumstances and with a different itinerary. However, the itinerary changed for this year and that was not planned this year. Currently, we are planning on spending the evening and having our evening meal in one of the shopping centres. The itinerary allows students to spend their social time in the shopping centre in small groups with a central meet up point. However, this is something that myself, Mrs. Cozens and Mrs. Carlin will be considering and we have already thought of some ideas for this to allow the students to get the most out of this time but at the same time and most importantly be safe. I would also like to consult with parents on this point.
As you will have hopefully seen from the letter sent home via your child on Monday 5th June (which was written before the weekend's recent incident), I will be holding a short information session on Thursday 6th July at 6pm in G2 to give more details about the trip. In relation to the point above, I would also like to use this session to consult with yourselves on the plan for the social time in the evening. View the London Business Trip Update LetterLondon Business Trip Update Letter.
If you would like any further information or have any further questions, please feel free to contact me via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Yours sincerely,
Mr. Aird

Funditor shows us how to make a DIY night vision system using a large flashlight, some colored plastic discs and an old digital camera. The result is an invisible spotlight that will allow you to see what the light is pointed at using the camera. High power IR LEDs could also be used but would cost a bit more.
Find follow tagged on x on 668 notes levitra . If male erection on bed, the option drug the source any male...
that is cool. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
you stop using my name you little monkey.
I bet the flashlight is visible from kilometers away
Why would the flashlight be visible kilometers away? It emits only infrared light and as such, everything remains entirely dark. I've built this – I know.
I doubt those cellophane discs he used are Congo Blue and Primary Red.
Even then, visable light could still come through the lens, with a X,000,000 candela spot light like that.
Its like those infrared goggles that you make out of welding goggles.
"Its like those infrared goggles that you make out of welding goggles."
Do you godt at link to those??
Enjoy your damaged retina.
seen something similar to this, only for a webcam, used a piece of exposed film for the filter on the camera, and took a IR led out of an old tv remote….not more than a few bucks and worked pretty good
So if you made the infrared goggles I would assume you would be able to see the flashlight infrared light without a camera but no one else. Right?
Interesting idea Question Man, but I don't think it would work since no mater what lenses are placed in the goggles our eye can't see that spectrum of light. I wonder if there is something passive that can shift the light spectrum?
Question Man, you are correct. Alan, they actually do work. The reason being that the photoreceptors (basically the digital chip that translates the light into a pixelated image) on most digital cameras actually CAN pick up some parts (I think the extreme low end) of the IR spectrum the filter merely removes it (I believe it is due to something about intereference with the digital image quality) however the photoreceptor picks up the IR light it "sees" and translates it into digital impulses which are interpreted and then displayed as visible light on the LCD screen.
Now as far as the flashlight goes, dunno if a screen could cut out all visible light without imparing the IR output, but virtually EVERY light source generates Infared radiation some more than others even flashlights do. However without some kind of special polarizing films or something I don't know if you cover the light and still have a sufficient IR output to illuminate your surroundings.
Hope this helps, a little foggy on the details, its been awhile since I've read up about this.
i have forbing this for studying this for a while because I believe that you could implement this in scopes one setup is mount surefire flashlights with celophane do the same to a scope
set lights up on side and see if it works if someone knows if it works it would help night vision scopes cost 1,000 on the cheap end
sorry about spelling earlier just skip first five words
hey who has made those welding glases u can test in dark room with remote please test and say how well it worked pics would be great
[…] the hacked gadgets files – check out this do it yourself night vision system which uses a large flashlight, some colored plastic discs and an old digital camera. This is a heck […]
This is NOT like the night-vision goggles! You won't burn your eyes! That's the thing about the camera- you look at it only through the cameras screen! Very different than the goggles! AND with this, you have a light, the goggles don't, so you can't see nearly as much.
Can u see it with your eye through the goggles if not then whats the point?

Christmas Baking
I have had a very slow month and have accomplished not much at all, but the last week I have realised that it's nearly Christmas and I need to get off my butt and doing some making! I have presents started, nearly finished and already given. Today the boy and I did some the baking. The start of our baking I hope. Christmas isn't Christmas if I don't make gingerbread and there are a few other things I have been thinking about making. The above pic is fruit mince pies (because my hubby loves them) and Christmas biscuits - with orange rind in them (because the little man loves cutters). They are both pretty yummy and will be eaten by us and given as gifts.
And just a note of how amazing I am (lol) I did baking AND have managed to make dinner. I feel pretty clever!

Pickings from our garden. We planted baby carrots and they are reaching a good size now. The boy picked a tiny one while I wasn't looking, but they were all delicious!

We had our follow up with the GI doctor on Monday.
It was a BEAUTIFUL 83 degree winter day (yes you read that right) for the two of us to drive our 5 hour-or so-round trip journey. Explorer traveled wonderfully! Thank God!!
We arrived in plenty of time to have lunch and then head up to the office. We were sent directly to the lab. They had decided to rule out Cystic Fibrosis, even though she has no other symptoms. So, she had to have a sweat test. Let me tell you, that made ME sweat. Scary looking test!!!
After the sweat test, they drew her blood. She is too funny. She cried when the nurse first stuck her, and then grinned at her. Explorer is VERY friendly. I'm also convinced that she knows how to say the word "Hi." She said hi to the lab tech, two nurses and the doctor. She said it when she first saw each one of them. I am impressed. Must be the homeschooling *snort.*
She has gained MORE weight. She now weighs in at 18lbs 3 oz and is 26 inches long. She's only 5 months old and was a preemie. Um, can we say giant? :)
Lab results show that her enzymes are still elevated, but just slightly. All the other tests have come back negative, so there is still no clear reason why. I am so thankful that all the other tests are negative, though!!
We will have a repeat lab in 3 months, but we get to go to the local hospital. No cool hospital and super nice doctor (not that our local isnt nice), but no huge drive so I'm very glad!!
You would never know that there was something 'wrong' with her if you saw her. She is the happiest, friendliest, and biggest kid ever. She loves her jumperoo, and is have a great time rolling over and trying to figure out how to crawl. She is such a joy!!
Thank you all for your prayers! I'll continue to update if I get more information.
God Bless and Happy St Patrick's Day!!

Drug maker Santarus is bringing on 85 reps ahead of the launch of its ulcerative colitis drug Uceris.
The new hires are a mix of contract reps sourced from InVentiv Health and full-time Santarus reps. They will bring the launch force to 235 reps, along with 10 staff medical science liaisons. The company expects to connect with between 7,000 and 8,000 healthcare professionals, including rep-resistant primary care physicians along with endocrinologists. All will receive the same presentation — CEO Gerry Proehl told MM&M that all reps, be they contract or in-house Santarus, have the same sales goals and pay incentives, and that all report to Santarus managers. The reason he gave was a simple one: all physicians should have a seamless experience.
What doctors should expect: iPad-equipped sales professionals with eight to ten years of pharmaceutical experience under their belts and leave-behinds by healthcare agency Harrison and Starr, which also handled some of the patient work.
Yet the pitch is not just about the drug's immediate target, of helping patients mid-flare-up. It also includes a pricing approach that aims to be in the managed care comfort zone. Proehl said the $1,235 for a month's supply is slightly below that of AstraZeneca's Entocort for Crohn's disease (the Santarus drug has a different indication, for ulcerative colitis). According to doctors Santarus has been talking to, the target patients – those in mid-flare – have symptoms between two to four times a year, but seek treatment about once or twice a year. The typical eight-week therapy would bring a patient's bill for the treatment to just under $5,000.
And although the drug is not yet on insurer formularies – the FDA approved it in January, long after formularies were set for the year – Proehl said that the drug is on insurers' minds, and that the company has been told that Uceris is being viewed as an interim drug patients can use before progressing to more expensive options, which can include higher-cost biologics or surgery. Proehl said he expects the drug to linger in the Tier 3 realm and possibly be tagged with a prior authorization requirement for the time being.

Absolutely Great Stuff
PSM/Bokor | United States | 12/27/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"If you don't know the difference between Spears and Joplin, don't bother with this DVD.
Lauper is absolutely amazing. She has an incredible voice and is a consummate entertainer. I was completely enthralled with her and her band's performance.
All live performance DVD's should be like this one. The sound is utterly incredible. The filming is perfect. There's nothing flashy or artsy to distract from the experience.
On a personal note: Lauper is sexier than ever. Not that she has been, but Lauper has far too much class and talent to be called a Diva; nonetheless, she sure can sing circles around so many of today's pop icons.
You will not be disappointed."
After all these years, Cyndi still has it going on

The location and number of people attending doesn't matter...Cyndi gives everything she's got when she performs live. And this new DVD "Live At Last," recorded at her March 11, 2004 gig at The Town Hall in New York, is certainly no exception. This DVD will surely satisfy both long-time fans as well as those who have only recently discovered Cyndi's music with her most recent album "At Last," as the track listing (see above) contains songs from both her old-school catalog as well as her renditions of the classics. I certainly appreciate her newer stuff but to me, the best part of this concert is hearing and seeing her perform her trademark songs such as the beautiful "Time After Time" and my personal favorite, "I Drove All Night." These songs may have been written a long time ago, but Cyndi proves with this concert that time certainly has not taken away any of the magic that made them so great. There are also some great bonus features, a lot more substantial than what most concert DVD's offer:
Stay Music Video
Forest Park
Driving With Cyndi
Sunday Dinner
Broad Channel
Shoot It Yourself! with Cyndi and Kevin
Alternate Angles
DiscographyAll in all, a must-have for any Cyndi Lauper fan, even the casual one. And for the price that it's offered here you would be crazy not to buy it."

"I have been a casual fan of Cyndi Lauper's since she hit it big with Girls Just Want to have Fun.
I like a few of her songs and even own two albums. After seing this DVD I am now completely converted. She is without a doubt a consummate performer. Her voice seems stronger than ever and what she does with words in her songs is inspired and touching.
I also love how she is unpredictable and one gets the feeling that every night she would do something different onstage and not follow a routine a la Madonna/Britney/Cher etc etc.
She is also very personable and you feel as though she really wants to connect with her audience and take them on a journey.
Well done!"
If you like Cyndi, you will LOVE this DVD!

"I remember when Cyndi went to Brazil to promote A Night To Remember and I couldn't go to the show because of my age (I was 12 at the time) but I wanted to see her live so badly that I asked my mom to take me to the stadium and we stayed outside in the car listening to the concert, it was amazing! At the moment I live in London and I had already booked a 5-day break in New York a couple of months ago when I decided to go on-line and check if there were any good concerts on and to my surprise I found out that Cyndi was performing at the Town Hall. I booked the tickets and was counting the hours to the show. That was quite a night! Cyndi was so great, she sang my favorite song (I Drove All Night) and the songs from At Last sounded beautiful, even better that the studio versions. She was so talkative and natural and her voice...oh my god I never heard such wonderful voice in all my life! After the concert I was over the moon and as I walked through the (almost) empty streets of New York I thought about the show and felt such a buzz, I was happier than I've been in quite a long time...now I am counting the hours to the release of the DVD...it's so cool to know that I will be able to watch the show again and again and the fact that was part of it makes it even more special! Thank you for you Cyndi!"

He is a first class professional, a great human being and dedicated dentist, soul and body.

The place is spotless, welcoming and brimming with technology.

-Carlos V.
I love the treatment I always get here but, what I loved more is seeing my son so happy walking out of this office. Asking me when was his next appointment. My son is super shy and to see him so loose and happy was just great. Thank you to Brilliant Smile
-Mario C.
For a while I hopped around trying to find a dentist whom I could trust and be comfortable with. Then i found "A Brilliant Smile". What i appreciate the most about Dr. Raihle is the fact that he does not pressure me into acting on his diagnosis or recommendations. As an example, he does not pounce on my panic button or scramble for his dental drill at the first inclination that a tooth shows "some initial indication" that it might develop into problematic cavity. Instead, he always offers guidance and steers me towards recommendations which be feels should be prioritized. For me, this is important and assures me that Dr. Raihle understands the patient side of the equation -and does not just view my mouth as a cash register.
Overall a great dental office. The entire staff is always super warm and friendly. And the fact that they offer Saturday appointments is awesome -although i am not so sure I would find it so awesome every Saturday if I was "Mrs Raihle". :-)
-Francis A.
Everyone at A Brilliant Smile greeted me with just that a Smile :) As soon as I walked they where friendly and very quick. Being a brand new patient you are a little leery so this was a pleasant surprise. Once I sat down they asked me what my issues where and listened attentively to all my issues. Explained very thoroughly the process that needs to be done Explained all my xrays and where the problem was, even showed me a video of the procedure. The first part of the procedure was done and it was painless. The Dental hygienist was careful but precise. I came out of that experience knowing exactly what issues i have and knowing what needs to be done. Great Overall Experience.
-Peter S.
They are just the Best! I still have my teeth and can eat nice things because they take good care of me :-) Thank you very much !!!
-Christiane M.
Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. Had a deep cleaning and I did not feel a thing. Best dental experience I've ever had. I finally found a dental office that I'm comfortable with and trust.
-Edmund J.
The whole office staff was amazing as usual . I've been going to A Brilliant Smile for a little over 2 years now and till this day,I'm still very happy that I did. They always welcome my son and I with open arms. They make you feel like you're visiting family. Plus the dental knowledge from everybody is always spot on!!!
-Robin S.
Best dentist ever so far! Dr. Raihle and his staff are extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable about what they do.

Never thought I would enjoy getting up early for dental appointments, but Dr. Raihle and his incredible staff have made this a reality for me!
Dr. Raihle is a Master! If you've ever feared dental appts., your mind will be forever changed after 1 visit. Painless, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable, he explains every procedure through photos and consults. No surprises! He's also an artist when it comes to any extensive work. Liz, his assistant, is comforting and very experienced. She and Dr. Raihle are a finely-tuned team!
Edith's insurance knowledge is extremely helpful. She figures costs quickly, correctly and on the smallest little calculator I've ever seen!!
Claudia, the hygienist, is very thorough and willing to share tips on keeping your teeth and gums in great shape.
Everyone is cheerful and welcoming. A great experience every time!
-Kathy G.
The atmosphere of Dr. Raihle's Brilliant Smile dental office is one of comfort and professionalism. My fiance is so happy that my smile will be perfect for our big day. I fully recommend this practice for your dental care.
-Samir G.
Dr. Kevin Raihle is a highly skilled dentist with a warm and caring staff working out of a most pleasant office.
Recently I fell and broke two front teeth and cracked two others. Dr. Raihle and Liz, his wonderful assistant, took me on a timely basis and fixed them so they look as good as new.
This has always been my experience with Dr. Raihle and his staff. He has treated me in the past for some tricky issues and always successfully resolved them.
An additional plus is that Dr. Raihle has a very good network of colleagues where he has most competently coordinated any multiple specialities care that I have needed for a successful outcome. His colleagues respect him, which is a high compliment to his credit, and his patients benefit from this when needed.
Thank you Dr. Raihle, Liz, Claudia and Edith!
Always a very comforting experience.
-Jeffrey K.
Dr Raihle and staff are wonderful: so competent, friendly and will go out of their way to help, even on weekends in an emergency. I always look forward to seeing them!
-Alice G.
The best experience I have in a long time. Dr Raihle and Claudia were wonderful. The receptionist was great also. Dr. Raihle has one of the best office staff I had met in a long time.
-Cynthia C.
Provided great care and education about my issue. Exceptional service from Dr. Raihle and his team.
-Daphne W.
Kevin does excellent work and his staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Like a lot of other people, I've never been a big fan of going to the dentist but Kevin and his staff always make each visit as pleasant as possible. Not to sound cheesy, but his office has a family-like atmosphere that you can't help but to enjoy. If you don't already have a primary dentist or like me, you're leery about dental visits, I definitely recommend you give A Brilliant Smile a try.
-Kevin O.
My crown broke, Dr Raihle in early to do an emergency fix. He then recommended a suitable replacement and did an excellent job of putting in a new crown. My experience at his office was excellent, and he is the most painless dentist I have ever visited. I definitely recommend Dr. Raihle.
-Stephen N.
Claudia was really good, I came there for the first time just today and I had a good experience.
-Matthew G.
I have been with Kevin since he came to Oak Park. I have never had a better, more dedicated dentist care for my teeth than Kevin Raihle. Of course, after all these years, he's now my good friend too. His personality is funny, light, sarcastic at times...but ALWAYS serious about his work! I highly recommend him for the entire family.
-Carolyn M.
Kevin has been my dentist since he came to Oak Park and, though I recently moved to another suburb and have to get to appointments by cab, I would never think of selecting another dentist. He truly is a pain-free dentist, very smart, very funny, very friendly, what more could you ask? His assistants are also excellent and it is a pleasure to observe their teamwork. The whole atmosphere of the office makes it a friendly, non-threatening place to come.
-Marilyn J.
I've been going to Dr. Railey's dental practice since 2000. Love his skill and bedside manner. The dental hygienist Claudia is a professional and everything you want when having your teeth cleaned! The whole office is friendly and accommodating :)
-Bob C.
Dr Raihle is doing my implants. I was so nervous but there was no pain, no swelling and no bruising. It was so much easier than I thought it would be. I wish I had done it sooner.
-Nancy R.
Love Dr. Raihle- he is a true family dentist who takes the time to get to know his patients personally. He is great with pain management (even for a root canal!). He is also great with kids and treats our whole family.
-Christina C.
This is the single friendliest dental office I have ever experienced.
The doctor is an artist that is truly in his element as he navigates his environment.
Do yourself a favor and visit this office.
-William L.
I have been going to Dr Raihle for years and the experience is always professional and pleasant. Yes, going to this dentist is a pleasant experience! His staff is always courteous and you feel welcome the moment you walk in the door. More importantly, he is rarely behind schedule. In all the years I've been going to A Brilliant Smile I have only had to wait once and that was for only ten minutes to have a dental cleaning. I have had bridge work and dental implants procedures at A Brilliant Smile. Dr Raihle informs you of all of your dental needs and explains every procedure thoroughly before doing it. Your options are clearly described. I could not rate Dr. Raihle any higher if he was my own brother and encourage you to schedule an appointment with him for your dental needs at your earliest convenience.
-Lawrence V.
Dr. Raihle is a great dentist. He performs pain-free dentistry, on time, without a wait. I highly recommend him.
-Susan S.
We have been going to see Dr. Raihle for several years. We love the service that he provides.
-Heather R.
The office uses all the most current dental practices and procedures and yet are conservative with recommendations ensuring you get what you need not what they want to promote. Icing on the cake, Dr. Raihle and his staff are wonderful and everyone is very personal and attentive, you are NOT a number at this dental practice!
-Patricia H.
Dr. Raihle is a great dentist. He very professional along being warm and friendly. He is up on the latest developments in dentistry. I would recommend him and his staff to anyone that wants a top notch dentist.
-Barbara O.
Yelp Reviews
Where do I start??
I had been getting dental care else where and was dissatisfied with the work performed down the road. It took me nearly a year to locate another office. I don't know about you but the dentist is not my favorite. I located this office with a google search. Upon calling the receptionist was beyond pleasant and making an appointment was very simple. When I got to my appointment I was greeted will smiles and warm welcomes from the staff. The office atmosphere was very warm and home like, very comfortable seating in the lobby. I was explained my insurance coverage which was to my surprise. Before going into the exam room the Doctor came out and greeted me by name and welcomed me to the practice. The hygienist was super nice and informative. Through the entire cleaning she explained thoroughly what she was doing and why. Soon after Dr. Raihle came in and did a full overview of everything. He is very nice and down to earth. I have never experienced this with a dentist before. Then about a week later I received a hand written card in the mail from Dr. Raihlel welcoming me again which was a really nice touch. I look forward to getting my teeth back in tip top shape with this practice as this seem like it is a very good choice.
-Helen E.
I have recommended A Brilliant Smile to at least five co-workers/friends, and each has remained a patient. I appreciate the way Dr. Kevin Raihle explains procedures and invites patients to weigh in when there are options. Dr. Raihle and his staff are both professional and warm. I trust the staff and actually LIKE going to the dentist.
-Erica I.

Unemployment levels in Doncaster has fallen by nearly a fifth in the last 12 months, according to new figures.
Doncaster has bucked the national trend as Office for National Statistics figures show the UK unemployment total has risen for the first time in two years.
In the borough, there are 1,257 fewer people claiming Jobseeker's allowance than last year.
Nigel Coleman, an account manager at Job Centre Plus, described the figures as 'very encouraging'.
He said: "We are in a really good place at the moment. We have been inundated with jobs.
"There are lots of traineeships coming up as well."
These positions include 15 British Rail apprenticeships, as well as BBC digital apprenticeships in the area.
Mr Coleman said: "It's an exciting time for a young person who want to get into digital industry – and they can even with no qualifications."
"The Hesley Group is also working closely with Job Centre Plus to recruit people.
"It is a care organisation which works with people with autism and mental health problems."
Other openings include apprenticeships for courier service DHL and positions for lorry drivers within the company.
More young people in Doncaster have also gone into jobs.
Over the last year, there has been a fall in the number of unemployed people aged 18 to 24 by 20 per cent, from 7,122 young people claiming jobseeker's allowance in 2014 to 5,865 this year.
Since 2010, 3,573 people have stopped claiming benefit, a fall of 38 per cent.
Rotherham, Barnsley and Sheffield have also had a major increase in employment rates.
Barnsley has had a 21 per cent drop in overall unemployment figures in the past year from 4,725 to 3,747 in 2015.
It is a similar case in Rotherham, where there has been a drop of 26 per cent of unemployed people .
The number of people claiming jobseeker's allowance has dropped from 5,905 to 4,371.
Sheffield has also had a drop of 22 per cent over the last year. There are now 9,758 unemployed people in the city, instead of 12,432 which was the case last year.
Priti Patel, employment minister, said: "In Yorkshire and Humber alone, there are near record numbers of women in work.
"As part of our one-nation government, we want everyone to succeed and achieve their full potential."

(303) 320-7826
Bariatric surgery is for patients who desire a surgical solution for long term weight loss. Candidates for bariatric surgery must have tried dieting in the past, but have not been able to maintain long term weight loss.
Generally, bariatric surgery candidates must meet the National Institute of Health (NIH) or ASMBS (American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery) recommended criteria. Most insurance companies also require meeting the NIH criteria for surgery authorization. Although the NIH, ASMBS and FDA have set guidelines for bariatric surgery, patients may still be candidates for surgery even if they fall outside of these guidelines. Please call our office for details or refer to our insurance and self-pay sections for further details.
Bariatric surgery is an elective procedure and candidates must meet the following criteria.
Since 2010, the FDA recommended expanding the use of adjustable gastric banding to include patients with BMI's between 30-35 with an obesity-related comorbidity.
Bariatric surgery requires a long-term commitment on the part of each individual patient. Lifestyle changes include modifying your eating habits, being knowledgeable about food information, increasing physical activity and exercise and yearly follow-up meetings with our nutritionists. Patients must be well informed about bariatric surgery, prepared for the life changes and ready to start their journey. We use a multidisciplinary team approach to give our patients the best chance for life-long weight loss success. We also provide bariatric surgery support groups to assist you along the way.
