6 Ways to Glowing Winter Skin, From Saison's Julie Kim
Images courtesy of Saison Beauty
For most of us, the challenge of the day-to-day swing is finally setting in. We're back to work, trudging through the wind, rain or snow, and it's official: winter has arrived. During these cozy months, the harsh outdoor elements – along with dry indoor environment – can wreak havoc on your skin. The new year is an ideal time to reevaluate your skincare routine to make those personal investments in healthy habits.
We sat with Saison Beauty Founder and CEO, Julie Kim, at her San Francisco studio for her expertise on the subject. The natural beauty guru, who created Saison based on the changing of seasons ("saison" means season in French), has created the line through years of research on the seasonal needs of our bodies. A former e-commerce executive at The Gap, Kim is no stranger to beauty behind the scenes. Before launching Saison, the self professed "beauty junkie" had worked in PR for several beauty companies, including Aveda, The Body Shop and ShuUmera.
When she realized that beauty was her true passion, she launched Saison in early 2015. Each collection is specially formulated for the season and skin type, to nourish your skin throughout the changing months. Says Kim, "I wanted to provide an easy, go-to concept that's a 'no-brainer'." Inspired by the multi-step regimen found in Korean skincare, each of Saison's collections are multi-step, with products that range from cleansers, cleansing grains, lotion sprays, moisturizers. Each season also contains a body regimen. Products are sumptuous, all-natural, cruelty-free and made in small batches in San Francisco.
Kim believes that seasonal thinking should become intuitive to consumers. "For those who eat seasonally and really pay attention to what nature is presenting to you, it has an uncanny way of telling you what your body needs. It also applies to skincare," she explains. "Throughout the country, where you have such drastic climate changes, your skin changes and your skin really needs different care."
Here, Julie Kim shares her 6 tips for beautifying your skin, winter-style.
During the winter, skin tries to adapt to the extreme weather and temperature conditions like cold air, wind and indoor heaters. When it's not able to cope, skin will begin drying, chapping, flaking and getting irritated. Your skin also thickens with a build up of old dead, pigmented skin cells to create its own protective barrier, so it looks dull and rough. And since it's difficult to maintain moisture levels and skin elasticity in the winter, this is the time when signs of aging – like wrinkles, sagging and hyper pigmentation – may appear more pronounced. And finally, your stress levels may be higher than normal, and your diet may consist of more rich, comfort food or holiday sweets than it's used to. As a result, you may also be experiencing more skin inflammation (acne, rosacea, eczema, etc.).
To help you through some of these winter skin conditions, here are some tips to help you keep your skin soft, healthy and looking its best.
- Change Your Cleanser
Look for cleansers that are "foam-free," like the Saison Winter Cleansing Oil. When a cleanser foams, it usually contains harsh sulfates or other detergents that strip your skin from its natural oils. And if you are over-cleansing this time of year, you may compromise the natural protective barrier on your skin that helps you retain moisture and protect it from chapping, dryness, flaking, and more.
2. Stimulate and Circulate
Incorporate fresh, stimulating ingredients* like mint, ginger or cinnamon to your current products and massage into your face for 3-5 minutes. This will help increase the blood flow, and deliver more oxygen and nutrients to your face. These ingredients, and massaging your skin, will not only help bring color to the face, but it helps strengthen the facial muscles to lift and tighten sagging skin.
Pro tip: Mix one of the fresh ingredients with the Saison Winter Cleansing Oil, and apply to your face and neck before you step into the shower or warm bath. Let the steam open up your pores, allowing your skin to absorb more of the infused oil and soften your skin in the process. Massage the oil into your face for a few minutes. After you finish your shower or bath, rinse and wipe off the excess oil. Your skin will be clean, super soft, dewy and bright.
*if you have sensitive skin, you should conduct a patch test with these ingredients, and stop use if your skin becomes irritated.
3. Exfoliate
Exfoliate skin regularly – approximately 3-4 times a week – to help remove dead skin cells and bring new skin cells to the surface. This will not only make your skin look fresh and bright, but more importantly, this will allow your treatments to sink into your skin more efficiently. However, avoid chemical exfoliates (e.g. glycolic acid, synthetic alpha hydroxy acid), which can irritate your skin, especially when it is dry and exposed to cold air. Look for exfoliates from more natural sources including milk (lactic acid) or fruit-based enzymes.
Pro tip: The Saison Winter Cleansing Grains includes organic milk powder, organic rice powder, organic pineapple, organic pomegranate and honey grains that work together to gently exfoliate, soften and brighten your skin.
4. Repair and Regenerate:
Look for treatment products that are rich in antioxidants and include key vitamins like Vitamin C and E to help your skin repair itself from inflammation or any other damage. Products rich in Vitamin C can help brighten your skin and increase collagen production. Ingredients like Meadowfoam or nut-based oils that are rich in Vitamin E will help your skin lock in moisture and help calm any skin inflammation. Specialty moisturizers like the Saison Winter Moisturizer or Saison Winter Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer includes ingredients like L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Pomegranate Oil, Rosehip Oil, Meadowfoam Oil, Wheat Germ Oil and Vitamin E to help skin this time of year. Alternatively, look for other specialty serums or face oils to boost your current moisturizer's performance.
5. Layer Your Products:
After cleansing and exfoliating your skin, you want to infuse as many nutrients and moisture back into your skin, and slowly build up a protective layer to keep the winter elements from damaging your skin. Like you would layer your clothes, start from the lightest to heaviest formulas. This creates a "slow drip" effect that allows the skin to absorb the products effectively and to and keep it hydrated longer. For example, start with a liquid-based treatments like the Saison Winter Botanical Lotion Spray. Next, use a gel-based serum, then a moisturizer and finish off with a face oil.
6. Bonus Tip – Stay Hydrated:
During the summer, it's much easier to stay hydrated – drinking cold water or eating more fruits and vegetables with high water content. However, it's just as important to stay hydrated in the winter. In fact, it's the perfect time to try some flavored hot water that helps keep you warm AND hydrated throughout the day. Some of our favorites include:
1 cup hot water + 1 tbsp. lemon juice + ¼ tsp honey
1 cup hot water + ¼ tsp fresh ginger + ⅛ tsp cinnamon
1 cup hot water + ¼ cup fresh mint leaves + 2 tsp lime juice + ¼ tsp honey
1 cup hot water + ⅛ tsp freshly grated orange peel + 1 tbsp orange juice + ⅛ tsp cinnamon + 2 cloves + ¼ tsp honey

RailCorp to pay for disability discrimination/
For almost two years, Graeme Innes AM urged RailCorp NSW to get serious about its obligations towards Sydney's rail passengers with disability by ensuring that its trains provide audible "next stop" announcements. After mediation with RailCorp failed, Mr Innes sued the state-owned rail corporation in the Federal Magistrates Court, alleging its failure to provide audible announcements breached Federal Disability Discrimination law.
In a landmark decision, the Federal Magistrates Court sided with Mr Innes. Federal Magistrate Kenneth Raphael ordered RailCorp to pay $10,000 in compensation to Mr Innes.
Justice Raphael said Mr Innes had suffered indirect discrimination, and RailCorp had been "reactive and haphazard" in its response to Mr Innes' complaints.
Public Interest Advocacy Centre Chief Executive, Edward Santow, said court action was taken to ensure RailCorp complied with its obligations under the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport 2002. He said Mr Innes, who is blind, is entitled to use public transport services without discrimination.
"Audible train announcements are crucial because they allow passengers with vision impairment to know they are getting off at the right station," Mr Santow said.
Mr Innes, who is the Disability Discrimination Commissioner, took the case in his private capacity. "All I wanted was for RailCorp to do what they do for everyone who is able to read print. That is, tell me where I am," he said.

Mrs. Michigan and Her Inspiring Wieght Loss Journey
While competing for Mrs Michigan, Shaylett Stuckey contacted us to tell us how much she loved our products and hoped that we could sponsor her throughout her pageant journey. We were happy to oblige such a strong and vivacious person and were even more thrilled to learn that she WON the Mrs. Michigan pageant! And we will of course be supporting and rooting for her as she prepares for the Mrs.USA pageant in the next coming months!
What a difference a day (or 4 years) makes! Just a few short years ago, I found myself in a situation where my health dictated that I have gastric bypass surgery, or risk never again doing what I love! Singing has been something I've done since I can remember and it was a non-negotiable. I made the choice to go ahead with the surgery, and I did TONS of research, but what I didn't count on was getting "bariatric butt". Yes, this is real and it happened to me! Basically, you lose weight so fast that if you're not already in shape, and who is that chooses this route, all that fat is gone and you're left with the saggy baggy skin pockets that used to be home to the "junk in your trunk". Basically, you've just got trunk! I lost over 150 pounds and it was SO EXCITING! I went from a size 22 to a size 8.
|Shaylett Before Weight Loss Surgery
I LOVED everything about it EXCEPT when I tried on clothes, besides a little extra skin, I had no side profile. I was flat from my shoulders to my calves. (This was also culturally just unacceptable, if you know what I mean) You can find bras for every type and size but what was I going to do about my backside? I went online one night to my favorite retail site www.zulilly.com and found "LOVE MY BUBBLES" Boyshorts! They really sounded too good to be true but for the great price, I was willing to try anything. I LOVED them!! My pants fit so much better. My dresses looked like a woman was wearing them. I was HOOKED! I went to the LOVE MY BUBBLES website just to check them out and I felt like I'd found the mothership! YES! Finally an answer for someone like me who desired to have her curves back, but cosmetic surgery was not something I was considering. I stayed on the site for HOURS and settled on a second pair of boyshorts and another pair that included hip pads. I just couldn't believe how much of a difference it made it my clothes, my self-esteem, and my body shape. It was just WOW!!
I think what I liked the most is that they offered products to actually LIFT the buttocks, not just pad over the saggy baggy parts. They also SHAPED the buttocks, so I wasn't left with high yet still flat shapeless buttocks.In December of 2013, I was contacted by the director of the Mrs. Michigan America pageant saying that someone had recommended me as a delegate for our county. Of course, I said "no" a few times, but figured "why not"? I decided to run in March of 2014, but I knew that without some "help" I was going to be a in a bad way. There was an evening gown AND swim suit portion that required some major undergarment magic. It was "LOVE MY BUBBLES" to the rescue! Not only did I reach out to them but they generously accepted and provided the undergarments I needed to compete. I looked FABULOUS in my clothes and was 2nd Runner Up! Not bad for a first time pageant girl with a 150 pound weight loss.I spent many of the months after the pageant thinking about trying one more time for the title. My husband lost his job that following July and things seemed to be spiraling a bit out of control. I thankfully was able to continue working my jewelry business and found full time employment as well. However, I still didn't feel "done", so I made my decision to compete for 2015 and again reached out to "LOVE MY BUBBLES" who so graciously responded to my request. This time, I knew that I needed more than just butt pads, I needed more control over my tummy, as the extra skin on my belly had now become an issue. I am blessed to not have as much as I've seen on others, but when you're talking "Pageants", it's a whole new ball game. I opted for a Capri style butt lift garment with a high waist. I also chose a body suit that didn't hold me in as much as controlled the jiggle in my belly. It is THE BEST!! Again, these products are genius and I confidently wore my bathing suit and strapless evening gown, and I WON!! I am now Mrs. Michigan America 2015!
I will now go on to compete for the title of Mrs. America in September in Moscow! I know, its crazy right! I'm SO THRILLED and EXCITED!! It is such an honor to represent the married women of Michigan and hopefully of America. Now, it's going to be a matter of raising enough money to afford the trip. There are dresses and evening gowns, coaching, makeup, shoes, passports, baggage fees, costumes, and the list goes on. Right now we need to raise just over $8000, so we have set up a page at www.gofundme.com/mrsmichigan and you can also pay online via Square Cash at https://cash.me/$modelmom Either way its just such a blessing to me and I am grateful.Make no mistake there are TONS of products out there that claim to do what LOVE MY BUBBLES does so well. What I LOVE about them is I don't end up with pancake butt or just a misshapen backside that I still have to work around with Spanx and other products just to get the desired look. I am thrilled with the quality of their products because caring for them is easy and they LAST! How many times have we bought what you thought was the perfect under garment, washed it once, and there goes the elastic? The website is customer friendly and the actual photos of "before and after" help me determine whether the product is going to do for me what I need it to do. Friends and family are constantly asking me what I've done or what surgery I've had that has given me my booty back? I have no problem telling them there's no surgery, I just "LOVE MY BUBBLES"!

Show Racism the Red Card announce partnership with FIFPro
Three year partnership will see two organisations working closely together to challenge racism both on & off the pitch
"Using the good practice example of the anti-racism work in the United Kingdom, we hope to be able to extend our model to other countries and make a significant contribution to the global fight against racism".
Ged Grebby, Chief Executive, Show Racism the Red Card
Show Racism the Red Card is delighted to announce a new three year partnership with FIFPro; the International Players Union.
During the next three years, both organisations will co-operate closely, assist each other and jointly launch initiatives in the fight against racism and discrimination, aiming for more diversity in football and society.
In 2015, FIFPro is to celebrate its 50th anniversary. The world players union is planning many events and activities in the calendar in recognition of the work of the organisation and its member player unions.
Tony Higgins, FIFPro anti-racism spokesperson: "Promoting the fight against discrimination will be high on our agenda next year. We will be asking our unions to join us in this struggle which appears to be unrelenting in many parts of the world, as recent incidents have illustrated".
One of FIFPro's objectives will be asking the player unions to work in their individual countries with experienced non-governmental organisations (NGO's) in an effort to tackle discrimination. Creating partnerships on the ground will assist the player associations in dealing with these problems. Last but not least, FIFPro will also be creating a new global initiative.
Higgins: "In view of the foregoing, the FIFPro Board has decided that we will also work closely with Show Racism the Red Card - an organisation many of our members are aware of and indeed have worked with. For the next three years, Show Racism the Red Card (SRtRC) will be one of our three Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) partners. It will assist us developing our response to racism and discrimination and other diversity issues".
"The Show Racism the Red Card campaign will be particularly useful for countries that have yet to decide on a delivery mechanism to combat discrimination and for countries where there is not an experienced NGO currently working on the ground. We look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship with the campaign."
Show Racism the Red Card is a familiar face to many members of the FIFPro family. In various countries, player associations have already created a close alliance with SRtRC, among others PFA England, PFA Scotland, Spillerforeningen Denmark, NISO Norway and SFS Sweden. Other unions are willing to embrace the campaign which literally shows the red card to racism.
In England, for example, SRtRC visits schools and clubs to educate the young people about anti-racism and diversity. In most of the events, the SRtRC representatives are joined by local football heroes who voluntarily help get the message across to the young people.
"We are delighted to be able to develop our relationship with FIFPro over the next three years", said SRtRC Chief executive Ged Grebby. "We would like to thank FIFPro for making us their CSR partner".
"We are starting work on updating our main educational film and have conducted some great interviews in the last few months with top players from the Premier League in England".
FIFPro will publish many of the interviews on its website, in the dedicated Show Racism the Red Card menu. Click here for an overview of the videos, including recent interviews with Cesc Fabregas (Chelsea and Spain), Siem de Jong (Newcastle United), Jozy Altidore (Sunderland) and Carlton Cole (West Ham United).
Grebby: "Using the good practice example of the anti-racism work in the United Kingdom, we hope to be able to extend our model to other countries and make a significant contribution to the global fight against racism".
Higgins: "Football can show the world that what unites us is far greater than what divides us".

This is an outfit I wore the other day to have some dinner out. As I was looking through my closet I found this cropped bomberjacket I got a few years back from H&M and I thought I based my outfit on this item. To make the outfit a bit more fancy I added some strappy heels. The weather doesn't make it easy wearing this outfit though, but since I'd be indoors pretty much the whole time, it doesn't really matter.

What do you think of this outfit?

The Max Planck Institute in Germany is researching a revolutionary approach to energy generation: nuclear fusion. The plasma vessel where Max Planck will test its theories has a portal barely a foot wide. But the API Radian laser tracker can easily be mounted inside.
Industrial measurement systems in basic research areas
Very rarely is a research area as dependent on 3D-measurement technology in the set-up of its major experiments as fusion plasma physics. One thing is clear: without laser based metrology and their sisters-in spirit – 3D CAD software – the Wendelstein 7-X fusion research system that is close to completion in Greifswald could not have even been designed, let alone constructed, without laser trackers.
The plasma vessel, which is surrounded by hot plasma at up to 100 million degrees, is reminiscent of a twisted, half-deflated bicycle inner tube of approx. 11 m at the large diameter and approx 1,5 m at the small diameter. How can we determine the extent to which the actual vessel, made from 17-mm-thick special steel, deviates from the model created in the CAD? During the manufacture of the individual plasma vessel modules, the latter were accessible from the outside, and their contours could therefore be checked from the outside at the manufacturer's site using a laser tracker.
On assembling the individual modules to form the complete vessel access from the outside is no longer possible. With the introduction of highly compact laser trackers that are not much larger than a shoebox and weigh less than 10 kg, it is now also possible to bring these devices into the plasma vessel through the narrow access opening of approx 800 x 400 mm cross-section, and to set them up there. In comparison to photogrammetry, the use of a laser tracker saves process time, and provides equivalent, or even somewhat more accurate measurement results.
The compactness of today's laser trackers also offers an invaluable asset in another area. In the assembly and alignment of ports, for example. In order to be able to measure the pipe to be welded onto the plasma vessel, a laser tracker must be able to look into the approx. 2-metre-long port from the outside. The laser tracker is fitted to the support with appliances that have been specially designed for this purpose. Only in this way can measurements be carried out in the inside, and the pipe position be determined, which is what really matters. And the measurement system, which is normally mounted vertically on a stand, must be able to achieve its accuracy, even in the most oblique installation position.

The following decisions affect the actions that users can perform in Trusted Extensions and how much effort is required. Some decisions are the same as the decisions that you would make when installing the Oracle Solaris OS. However, decisions that are specific to Trusted Extensions can affect site security and ease of use.
Decide whether to change default user security attributes in the policy.conf file. User defaults in the label_encodings file were originally configured by the initial setup team. For a description of the defaults, see Default User Security Attributes in Trusted Extensions.
Decide which startup files, if any, to copy or link from each user's minimum-label home directory to the user's higher-level home directories. For the procedure, see How to Configure Startup Files for Users in Trusted Extensions.
Decide if users can access peripheral devices, such as the microphone, CD-ROM drive, and USB devices.
If access is permitted to some users, decide if your site requires additional authorizations to satisfy site security. For the default list of device-related authorizations, see How to Assign Device Authorizations. To create a finer-grained set of device authorizations, see Customizing Device Authorizations in Trusted Extensions (Task Map).
Decide if user accounts must be created separately in labeled zones.
By default, labeled zones share the global zone's name service configuration. Therefore, user accounts are created in the global zone for all zones. The /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files in the labeled zones are read-only views of the global zone files. Similarly, LDAP databases are read-only in labeled zones.
Applications that you install to a zone from within a zone can require the creation of user accounts, such as pkg:/service/network/ftp. To enable a zone-specific application to create a user account, you must configure the per-zone name service daemon, as described in How to Configure a Separate Name Service for Each Labeled Zone. The user accounts that such applications add to a labeled zone must be manually managed by the zone administrator.
Note - Accounts that you store in LDAP are still managed from the global zone.

Sugar Snap Salad with Miso Dressing
This past weekend was one of simple grilling, big salads, white wine, good friends and not a whole lot of picture taking, let alone sitting inside blogging at one's computer.
I did manage to try Smitten Kitchen's Sugar Snap Pea Salad with Miso dressing and snap a picture in the few minutes I was not outside enjoying the nice weather. It was super yum, and I have no problem typing my experience out on this dreary Monday and not posting it until now because life got a hold of me. Bad Blogger. Sigh.
My husband loves cabbage and sugar snap peas and sesame and miso. And frankly just about everything that went into this salad. I made it on Sunday and then again on Tuesday night to use up the leftover dressing and ingredients. It's a solid performer of a recipe.
I did have fun playing with this recipe. On Sunday, I added some carrots to the mix (recommended). And on Wednesday, I threw in some cilantro (also recommended). I leave it to you whether you'd like to make these options reality. It's a phenomenal salad even without those components.
I have a new obsession with tahini having recently made homemade hummus. It, combined with the miso, helps to make a hearty dressing for this dish. The great thing is that the cabbage and snap peas are tough enough that they can still be eaten the next day despite being dressed the night before — as in Monday at your desk where you eat it, close your eyes and day dream that you are back enjoying a nice dinner with friends.
There is something magical about that first real spring weekend. I am referring to that first weekend of bright and warm weather where you discard your coat, close your eyes, breathe deeply and soak in the vitamin D, shedding the baggage of the winter in mere minutes. That was this past weekend for me. I've been clinging to the memories of my little boy running and laughing and kicking a ball with his fellow two year old buddy under our hundred year old magnolia tree that was in full bloom as a friend and I lounged and watched. And to drinking and cooking and gabbing with friends into the wee hours. Good times. Real good times. Is it the weekend again yet? Almost…
- ½ pound sugar snap peas
- ½ pound Napa cabbage, sliced in thin ribbons (about 3 cups)
- 4 ounces radishes, cut into thin matchsticks
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced at an angle
- 3 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- ½ cup shredded carrots (optional)
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh giner
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons white miso (plus additional 1 tbsp to taste)
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fill a large pot with water, salt liberally, and bring to a boil. Prepare an ice-water bath. Boil the sugar snap peas for 2 minutes, or until just barely cooked. Scoop them out with a slotted spoon and submerge them in the ice water. Drain and pat dry. Trim the ends off the peas and cut them on an angle into thin slices.
- Toss the peas in a large bowl with the cabbage, radishes, green onions, and 1 tbsp of the sesame seeds. Add carrots and cilantro if desired.
- In a small blender or mini-cuisinart, blend all the dressing ingredients until smooth and creamy.
- Toss the salad with half the dressing. Add additional dressing to taste.

Childhood's Lend (of an Idea or Two...)
And now it is time for this week's Friday Challenge, courtesy of Ryan J:
A few days back, I went to wake my son up in the morning, and found him already sitting up. He was staring at his hand, and moving the fingers. He looked up to me, grinning, and in an excited voice told me "Dad. I have a robot hand." He'd been dreaming, and was in that cool stage when it's hard to sort out what was dream and what was real. And it left me thinking all day about cyborg kids.
When I was a kid, I spent all my time imagining. Leaves falling from trees were leaf gliders used by the warriors of a civilization of mice. Invisible dragons lurked in the clouds, specifically tasked to ward me from bullies. (I don't remember getting picked on, but I do remember the dragons ready to ward off the bullies. So either I've forgotten how rough elementary school was, or the dragons worked).
Nowadays I still love to lose myself in imagination, but it's a different experience. I find myself self-editing a bit, based on years of experience. Ideas that might have potential are often dismissed before they can take root and grow. The years of living, the books I've read, the things I've done have shaped the way I imagine, and often enough, puts limits on the imagining. Stuff that seems silly tends to get discarded, even though there may be something wonderful mixed in there that I could use.
Contrast this with the way kids see the world. Not every element that shows up in the imagination games kids play is necessarily original, but it is still always new. After all, they haven't seen this stuff a hundred times before, and they haven't lost the excitement of new things. And because it's new to them, they mix ideas and themes in ways adults would never have thought of.
The webcomic AxeCop is drawn by a 30ish year old cartoonist, who listened to the games played by his 5 year old brother. He was so struck by the originality, weirdness, and irrepressible fun of the 5 year old's imaginary world, he began to draw comics of the stories his brother told.
While the weirdness of this comic may not be to the taste of all, the author is unashamed of that weirdness. Kids are not ashamed to be strange. (Not at first, at least.)
So this is the challenge. Write something. A piece of a story, flash fiction, etc. But incorporate an idea from a kid. Anything, as long as it wasn't something you'd have thought of as an adult. It doesn't have to be as weird as AxeCop. If children are not immediately available, use an idea that you had as a kid, or something overheard from a kid, or something like that. Maybe something from AxeCop, if that moves you. The stuff there is the certified product of a 5 year old mind.
The point is not to be weird, though that may be the result; the point is to bypass our adult idea-filters and look at things anew. When you see something you've seen a hundred times as if the first time, good odds are you'll see something you missed. And maybe that thing you missed is something that needs a story.
250 words or less. Eating candy while writing is technically optional, but may help.
Anyone can enter, except for Ryan J. You may enter as many times as you wish, but each entry must be independent of the others. You are not allowed to supply a more lengthy kid-vision in 250-word chunks, and you are not allowed to build on anyone else's setup.
Everyone is asked to vote, and to say a few words about what they liked, and why. Or to say a few words about what they disliked, as the case may be; by submitting an entry, you implicitly agree to accept criticism, because there will probably be some handed out, and no one is immune. When voting, please rank a work as either "0" (not so good), "1" (not as bad), "2" (could have been better) or "3" (pretty good stuff!). If you give either a "0" or "3" vote, feel free to argue in support of your reasoning.
Don't like the negativity? Feel free to think of the levels as "0" (Not bad for a first attempt), "1" (Right on!), "2" (Holy cow, I wanna buy this now...) or "3" (Sweet mother of God, how did you write something this awesome?!!). The point is to clearly differentiate, and rank according to your own preference.
For the purposes of this challenge Ryan J will be serving as Ye Olde High Marker, Voluntarily Walking th' Plank.
As of now, we are playing by the loosely enforced and slightly modified rules of The Friday Challenge. All entries are due by 6 AM Eastern time on the morning of Friday, 10 June May 2011. A winner will be declared by the evening of Sunday, 12 June 2011.
Oh, there is one more thing... but it is the most important! Have fun. Always have fun.

You are here
Today many of us will sit down with family and friends and enjoy a feast. Thanksgiving is the most celebrated American holiday. It is one of my favorites too!
I feel very fortunate this holiday because our two daughters, who live in Brooklyn, will be joining us. It has been a long time since they have been able to come home for Thanksgiving. Yearly, we invite a family over who have younger children. Their relatives live in Germany and Israel, so we have become their American family. This year we will all be together. That is my thanksgiving this holiday.
Every year I like to ask each person at our table, what they are thankful for during this last year. I loved to hear what the kids would say when they were little! I feel so fortunate in my life—I have good friends, a loving family, and I get to come to work every day and do something I love. I am blessed with good health too! So this year, I have much to appreciate.
The holidays can be stressful too. In the midst of our thankfulness, family problems do not disappear. Family tensions can be intensified when everyone is together, even when adults are on their best holiday behavior. Sitting at the table, piled high with turkey and stuffing, the complexities of family life may be sandwiched between the first and second course!
And, recent loss is intensified during the holidays. We miss loved ones who passed away this last year and who will not be with us tomorrow—perhaps for the first time. We find ourselves feeling sad and happy at the same time.
Illness and financial distress don't take a vacation on Thanksgiving either. This holiday marks the beginning of the coming Christmas season—how will families with money problems manage to afford the gifts they would like to give?
Regardless of the contrasts at your table this year—take time to share with loved ones your deep feelings for them.
And have a joyous Thanksgiving!

Deutsch LA
Deutsch agency was founded in 1969 and grew to national fame in the late 80s under the leadership of Donny Deutsch. They opened their LA office in 1995 and were acquired by IPG shortly thereafter.
Best known in recent years for their award-winning work with Volkswagen, they have consistently been voted one of the Best Places to Work by AdAge and are one of the most respected names in the advertising industry. Perhaps their most innovative client of record is Yum Brands' Taco Bell.
To support the launch of their new Breakfast menu, Taco Bell tapped Deutsch to lead a bold advertising campaign, strategically aimed at taking down the current leader in fast food breakfast. I was brought in to help the team bring this strategy to life and extend the conversation on Digital.
Over the course of my partnership with Deutsch, my role grew to include traditional brand planning and my research supported on-going positioning work, audience definition, and thought leadership on youth culture in particular. I also had the opportunity to lead strategy efforts for multiple Taco Bell campaigns & products (including the re-launch of the Doritos Locos Taco), and support planning for Taco Bell's new mobile app, and Super Bowl 2015.
The results of Deutsch's work with Taco Bell is perhaps nowhere more clear than in the brand's continued growth. On an earnings call in Q3 2014, CEO David Novak shared that the brand had seen same store sales increase 3% and noted, in particular, that breakfast sales had sustained a 6% day part mix without an increase in media spend. In his own words: "I would go so far as to say we are one of the very few companies in the history of the QSR industry to launch breakfast successfully and profitably in year one."

Time: Taco Bell is Going Thermo-Nuclear in Its Breakfast War
"Kaitlin came on board to work on one of our largest and smartest clients, and was able to quickly assimilate, understanding the needs of both client and team, and expertly juggle multiple campaigns across disciplines. This means she not only assisted in guiding digital work to be as successful as possible, but also was responsible for developing briefings for the Superbowl. Kaitlin's greatest strengths lie in her understanding of digital culture, how brands position themselves in that space, her previous management experience in social, and her ability to bring together teams. Anyone her in to freelance will not be disappointed."
-Rachel Mercer, Senior Strategist, DeutschLA
Thank you to Rachel Mercer for bringing me on board and to Jill Burgeson for your support & mentorship. Many thank yous as well to the amazing team at Taco Bell both agency & client-side.

When it comes to the need for reducing the number of local governments in Illinois, residents are tired of waiting.
That's why lawmakers in the state Senate finally should take decisive action and vote in favor of House Bill 4637, which would be a step toward that goal.
The bill, which could come for a vote as soon as Tuesday, would allow township officials or electors – as township residents are called – in Lake and McHenry counties to put a referendum on the ballot that would give voters a say in whether their local township should be eliminated.
The voters' decision would be binding, and if they supported the elimination of their township, that form of government's limited responsibilities would be absorbed by county government, which already performs most of the same functions as townships.
Defenders of township government are adept at coming up with excuses for why these vestigial administrative governments still are necessary.
They also keep coming up with excuses for why the public should not be able to vote on how they are governed. Perhaps because they suspect that, if given the chance, voters would say they no longer wish to pay to maintain township government.
The latest flimsy excuse to keep the public from voting is that this legislation does not provide for what will happen to township general assistance programs if they are eliminated.
There's certainly an opportunity to address the mechanics of what will be done with township general assistance funds in future legislation. As for who will fill this role in the community, both Lake and McHenry counties have many charitable organizations, including churches and other nonprofit organizations, that already work hard to assist those in need in the community. We don't also need a government body dedicated to that activity.
The real facts of this situation are that property taxes in our communities are too high, and paid to too many local governments whose leaders avoid accountability exactly because there are so many governments. Residents clearly are demonstrating that their patience with this situation is at an end – they are voting with their feet by moving away.
So spare us the delay tactics calling for studies. We have had years to see the effects of too much government, too many union labor contracts, too many salaried elected officials, too many pensions.
If there are peculiarities of general assistance programs that require further legislation to solve, there is plenty of time to do that. What we need now is a plan to let local voters determine how many governments serve them – and collect taxes from them.

My guess it's poured fondant - but......somehow made thick so it can be rolled out. Just a wild guess. Have no idea how to make such a rolled/poured fondant!
Could it possibly have clear gelatin poured over it? Not even sure if that is doable but when I blow the pic up it looks as though it has a clear coating of something.
That's not a cake, it's glass.
The flowers and side swirl could be done in pulled sugar. I wonder if that top 'cake' could be done in blown sugar.
http://www.sweetandshiny.com/art-ivory-cake.htm Neat though!
That's funny. (Good catch, AZ)
You can also get a shiny effect on very smooth fondant by brushing it with melted shortening.
you wont be able to get a cake looking like that glass object, all you can do is say to the customer that you will use that as inspiration, but it will not be exactly the same.
Thanks to all
How did the cake turn out?

Ask the Expert : July'08/
1.I work in the marketing division of an FMCG company dealing in ready-to-eat food segment. We have reached saturation as there are various other players with similar product lines. I have a new product idea but do not know how to go about communicating and implementing the idea.
It is indeed great to know that you are keen to contribute original ideas and introduce new products that would benefit your organization. Here are a few things you can initiate to communicate your idea and ensure implementation of the same:-
- Exploit your company's competitive advantages -You really need to thoroughly know your company's unique competencies that are suitable for this endeavor to succeed. Once you have thought it through, you are ready to sell it.
- Ensure support from key stakeholders - To ensure success you need more than an approval from those in charge. You need passionate supporters in management who believe in what you are doing. Once you have identified top-level supporters, establish contact with them. Make a constant effort to keep them updated on your project's progress so they feel empowered with the latest information and can better advocate your cause to others. But be sure to keep them in the loop on problems, too. Do not sugar-coat setbacks or obstacles to your supporters. You need powerful allies, but it's just as important to understand how to keep them. Send email updates on your project's progress to top-level executives, circulate summary documents with answers to FAQs to keep everyone up to speed and interested in the project's success.
- Enlist support from other departments - In addition to sponsors in the top management, you will also benefit from alliances in mid and entry-level positions, where people develop valuable specialized knowledge. When you are refining product features look to people in other departments for ideas and feedback. When you successfully convince people about your idea, you will be surprised to find out that someone from a seemingly random department might hold the key to unlocking the potential of your business.
- Look beyond quantifiable metrics - A big part of intrapreneuring is selling your idea up the management chain and then convincing them that you are meeting your goals. One of the most powerful moves you can make is deciding what your variables for success are and understanding how to gather data for the same. You might get information from market research and customer surveys. Another powerful way to communicate why your idea is an improvement is by using the words of a customer or employee who is clamoring for it. Do not lose sight of your quantifiable goals, as they will tell you how you are going to achieve what you set out to do. But if you keep the words of your customers in the front of your mind you would not lose sight of the whoand the why of what you are doing.
- I work for a multinational firm drawing a good salary. Lot is being said these days about intrapreneurship or employees acting like an entrepreneur within an organization they work. Why should I act like an entrepreneur in my current organization when I am only an employee?
We evaluate the worth of work by the benefits that are linked to it and yes, you should get extra rewards for being entrepreneurial. What differentiates Entrepreneurs from other employees in an organization is their passion and conviction for an idea - Intrapreneurs are more driven, want to see their ideas implemented and tested with the ultimate success criteria – will someone pay for their product / solution.
You need to prove first that you are entrepreneurial – only then the rewards will come. Also, each individual has the entrepreneurial mind set in varying proportions – at the high end is the person who puts aside a good career to become an entrepreneur while there are others who would not like to risk running a company of their own but have ideas which they would like to nurture and implement in a Corporation. That is the difference between an Entreprenuer and Intraprenuer.
The benefits of being an Intrapreneur include the following-
- You will ave gain visibility within the Company and progress quickly to maybe having P&L responsibility for your Product / Solution. Since you explore unconventional routes to complete your tasks, are proactive and do not restrict yourself to a single stream of work, you will prove your uniqueness to your peers, subordinates as well as your manager and stand out of the crowd.
- Unlike when you are on your own, as an employee acting intrapreneurial you will get a safety net should an initiative of yours falter. If the intrapreneurial effort fails, you will still have a job tomorrow and get another chance to implement another idea as long as you learn from the mistakes made.
- It is not easy to gain access to resources required when you are on your own. As an intrapreneur you can utilize talent from within the company, tap into management skills, leverage existing technologies etc to work on your pet idea and make it a reality.
- It will make you proud to walk on a path that is less traveled ie., do something different and courageous.
- You will have the satisfaction of being an inspiration for other employees and other employees will look upon you as a source of strength. They will seek your advice and value your inputs.
- You will get a chance to unveil your creative self. You can implement out of the box ideas at your work, which would make work itself more interesting.
- You will look forward to each working day for the empowerment, freedom and satisfaction you derive from work making it an enjoyable experience
2. I have a team member who wants to be an Entreprenuer. How do I channelize her energies and ideas, so that she contributes positively to her role, today?
You are lucky to have her as your team member. People with an entrepreneurial bent of mind can contribute a lot to the organization. All you need to do is take care that you do not stifle her creativity or need for freedom and autonomy.
Encourage her to be proactive in identifying improvement areas in your department and work on them. Check out if she has a new product, service idea that aligns with the organization vision and goals. If you can get her to convince top management and get the company to provide her the resources to implement that idea then there is nothing like it. She will be able to become an entrepreneur without having to the leave the company and the company will gain in terms of being able to offer a new and better product/service to its customers. But this may not be possible always. So instead give her assignments that will help build her entrepreneurial skills. Let her be part of such assignments from the conception stage till the final execution. If financials need to be worked out and a team needs to be managed, the better it will be for her. An entrepreneur has to be comfortable with all areas of running a business ie., managing of people, money and the operations of the product/service delivery.
Such people like treading on a path which others have not taken. So put her on assignments where the rules are not clear, where there are no tried and tested ways to succeed and where one needs to innovate. She will enjoy the challenge and is more likely to succeed than others since she will not give up very easily and think creatively to identify ways to tackle setbacks. Entrepreneurs have high risk appetite. So encourage her to take calculated risks in her work.
Another way you can channelize her energy for the company is by assigning her some team members with low initiative, passion, and energy to work with her. Her passion may get rubbed off on them and she may be able to inspire them to become more resourceful and enthusiastic at work.

Superstruct is the world's first massively multiplayer forecasting game. Developed by Institute For the Future, Superstruct projects a future (2019) when multiple crises are beginning to harm the globe. Players are asked to develop solutions in order to prevent the potential extinction of humankind. Superstruct is running for six weeks.
Alright, off to play Superstruct.
This project is interesting for multiple reasons. First, as a means for advocating a long term mindset, it is top notch. The interactive aspects of Superstruct do a better job of presenting the human consequences of global change than most of my International Security professors who are teaching courses on the subject. Second, and most promising, this game harnesses the creativity of the player community. It makes brainstorming fun and rewarding.
My idea of the day: I want a Schoolhouse Rocks version of this game. Specifically, I'm Just a Bill. Present the difficulties of governance in a compelling way and make developing solutions engaging. Then get actual Congresspeople to sponsor the solutions.
Alright, off to play Superstruct.

The View, co-host Joy Behar doesn't believe President Trump should be allowed to nominate a Supreme Court Justice. On Tuesday she said "how dare" Trump be able to nominate someone to fill a Supreme Court vacancy when he is under investigation.
"Why would a president who's under investigation by the FBI for obstruction of justice and collusion be allowed to pick a Supreme Court Justice who will be there — I'll be dead. There are many people in this room who will still be alive and need abortions, what have you, and need healthcare. How dare he be allowed to do this when he is under investigation?" Behar asked.
The Daily Caller notes,
The comment came Tuesday during a panel discussion on "The View" over Trump's selection of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to replace Kennedy, pending confirmation from the Senate.
Sunny Hostin had a hard time saying something bad about the president's choice and admitted Kavanaugh was "well, well qualified." She also disagreed with those who think he's a hard-core conservative, calling him a "moderate conservative."
Behar jumped in and asked if Hostin thought Kavenaugh would overturn Roe v. Wade. McCain then said, "No," and explained why.

Health IT Risk-Based Framework
Health information technology, or health IT, is defined by the federal government's Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) as, "hardware, software, integrated technologies or related licenses, intellectual property, upgrades, or packaged solutions sold as services that are designed for or support the use by health care entities or patients for the electronic creation, maintenance, access, or exchange of health information."
Health IT is the framework that enables the management of health information across multiple electronic systems and devices, such as wireless medical devices, hospital information systems, communications infrastructure, and electronic health record (EHR) systems. Three federal agencies, the FDA, ONC and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) each have unique responsibilities in the health IT arena.
As health IT evolves, we believe that all stakeholders should understand regulatory requirements surrounding its use. Under the direction of the Food and Drug Administration Safety Innovation Act (FDASIA) of 2012, the FDA is working with FCC and ONC to propose a strategy and make recommendations on an appropriate, risk-based regulatory framework for health IT that promotes innovation, protects patient safety, and avoids unnecessary and duplicative regulation.
The three agencies are committed to a vision that supports a strong health system based on safe and innovative health IT that improves and advances public health.
On 4/3/2014, the FDA, FCC and ONC released the FDASIA Health IT Report outlining a proposed strategy and recommendations for a risk-based framework.
- FDASIA Health IT Report
- Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) among the Federal Communications Commission, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technnology, and the Food and Drug Administration

Things are looking better at Sprint Nextel, which is in the middle of a long, slow turnaround. The company turned in its lowest overall subscriber loss in several quarters, helped by its Boost Mobile prepaid service and deals to power third-party devices like the Amazon (AMZN) Kindle e-book reader. And this quarter should be even better as the impressive Palm (PALM) Pre rolls out for Sprint and Amazon rolls out a second Kindle for reading newspapers and magazines.
Sprint (S) said it lost 182,000 net subscribers during Q1, better than the 1.3 million sub loss in Q4 and the 1.1 million sub loss during Q1 '08. That's a tremendous improvement, led by a big gain in prepaid subscribers on Boost Mobile -- which recently rolled out a relatively cheap, unlimited-access plan -- and a respectable gain in wholesale and affiliate subscribers, including Amazon Kindle users.
Meanwhile, Sprint lost a large number of "postpaid" subscribers in Q1 -- valuable customers that sign long-term contracts. Sprint said 1.25 million of those customers left the service last quarter, worse than the 1.1 million loss in both Q4 and Q1 '08. Pali Research analyst Walter Piecyk was expecting another quarterly loss around 1.1 million net postpaid subs.
Overall, Sprint's $8.2 billion in Q1 revenues missed the Street's $8.3 billion consensus. But adjusted EPS of 3 cents was better than the Street's expected 5 cent loss. (Sprint still lost $594 million during the quarter.)
Sprint shares are up 8% in pre-market trading.

Freedom Flight Memories
Roxana Valladares Hart
I was only 9 years old, but remember that day as if it was today. We leftvery early one unusually cool morning on January 29, 1962. It was dark andwe were supposed to meet with my father, Capitan Eduardo Valladares at theairport. My mother (Roxana), brother (Angel Eduardo) and I piled along withmy grandparents in a car. I don't remember much of the ride; but I can'tseem to erase the image of all of my grandparents staring and crying frominside a glassed room. We three sat essentially motion less in a largewaiting room as we waited for my father to join us. Later I was told thatthe glassed room was called "la pesera" where loved ones and relatives wereallowed to say goodbye to those fleeing the island. Now it was time to boardand all of our belongings were being rifled through by men dressed in greenoutfits. When they finished "looking" through the entire "luggage" I wastold I could only bring my little doll not my big baby doll. My motherbecame upset that her neatly packed duffle bags were now just piles ofclothing stuffed into each of the "gusanos." The luggage was called thatbecause those people fleeing their homeland during this period of time wereconsidered to be cowardly "gusanos." The "gusanos" also had a weightrestriction and if it went over you were not allowed to bring it with you atall. Soon as we began our walk up the stairs of the plane, my father joinedus and for the first time since we had left our home; my mother seemed calm.Once the plane took off and we were in the air the entire plane erupted inthe Cuban National Anthem. Some sang through sobs, others just cried andstill some simply sat numb. I sat with my mother and my brother sat acrossthe aisle with my father. Who I thought seemed to be singing (off key) theloudest. My mother encouraged us to sing, because she said it would be thelast time we would sing our anthem over Cuban skies.

Nebraska coordinator tangles with cameraman
Nebraska coordinator tangles with website cameraman
COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M and Nebraska played a tight game to regulation on Saturday night, but Cornhuskers defensive coordinator Carl Pelini pushed his emotions into overtime – leading to an altercation with a credentialed cameraman on Kyle Field.
Both sides agree Pelini grabbed Brandon Jones' camera and parts of it ended on the grass as players, coaches and fans were on the field moments after A&M's gripping 9-6 victory. That's where their stories differ.
"My concern isn't the camera," said Jones, co-owner of the popular A&M fan website TexAgs.com. "My concern is him making an ass of himself. He was mad that he'd been caught on camera being a jackass."
Pelini said through a spokesman Sunday that he was simply trying to help a Nebraska player get off the field in the swarm of fans and "that the incident is not being portrayed accurately." The spokesman declined to go into further detail.
Video of the altercation – filmed by Jones – is circulating on YouTube, and shows Pelini, brother of Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini, heading toward the camera before it turns toward the ground.
"A horrible journalistic reaction on my part," Jones said.
Jones, who said he was wearing his press credential, also said the audio was not on.
"I was standing there filming the (entire) scene and not saying anything," Jones said. "Pelini was about 10 feet away."
Jones said he had captured Pelini yelling at a well-wishing A&M team doctor following the game in which the Cornhuskers were penalized 16 times for 145 yards, prompting the Nebraska staff's anger.
"It was like, 'How dare you film my outburst,'" Jones said of his interpretation of Pelini's sudden reaction. "He grabs my camera and I'm trying to hold on to it, and for a moment we were face to face. I asked, 'What are you doing?' His anger carried on through and he ripped some of the (removable) pieces off of the camera and slung them into the crowd.
"Then he stormed off."
Jones said several fans helped him locate the camera parts, and he was able to put it back together.
"Under no circumstances does he have any right to approach anyone – whether they have a credential or not – and do that," Jones said. "What was he going to do, run away with my camera? I don't know what he was thinking. Obviously he wasn't rational."
Big 12 spokesman Bob Burda offered a "no comment" Sunday concerning the incident. Jones said he and his fellow co-owners at TexAgs – including former NFL tight end Hunter Goodwin – are considering their options, and are collecting eyewitness accounts of the incident.
"At the very least we're going to demand a public apology," Jones said. "What he did was totally unprovoked – the guy is a loose cannon. And if it turns out there is some sort of damage to the camera, we expect that to be paid for."
Jones said legal options are a last resort but not out of the question, depending on Nebraska's next move.
"I don't want to be connected to this blowhard any longer than I have to," Jones said.

Chapel Arts Centre, Horace Silver, Jazz Services, Leeds Castle, Leytonstone Big Weekender, live jazz, Louise Dodds, Pavilion Cafe, The Brunswick, The Daffodil, The Fisher Theatre, The Jazz Bar, The Pheasantry, uk jazz tour, Undercliffe Cricket Club
It's September already which means the tour kicks off in only a few weeks! It's come around so fast but I'm really looking forward to finally getting to sing these tunes. But firstly, I am so, so chuffed to tell you that I have been awarded funding from Jazz Services as part of their touring support programme, and I couldn't be more grateful. Touring is such a great experience, and it's really essential when you're trying to improve as a performer and get your music heard by larger audiences but it can be so costly, so Jazz Services are doing an amazing thing by enabling jazz musicians to get out on the road.
My promo material is here!! They'll soon be en route to the various venues so if you see one, take a photo for me!
The last month or so I've had some great wee gigs around London and beyond (including one in the stunning Leeds Castle below), and a much needed mini break (i.e. not long enough) in Italy. But next up for me is the Leytonstone Big Weekender, where I'll be kicking things off this Sunday 7th September on the main stage at 1pm. Hope to see you there!
Have a great September, and don't forget:
A Song for Horace Tour
13th October – The Pheasantry, London
18th October – The Fisher Theatre, Bungay, Suffolk
20th October – The Daffodil, Cheltenham
22nd October – Undercliffe Cricket Club, Bradford
23rd October – The Pavilion Cafe, Lytham St Annes
26th October – The Jazz Bar, Edinburgh

Jeff Moore Receives AICPA Award
During the American Institute of CPAs' National Forensic Accounting Conference held in Chicago in September, Jeff Moore, CPA/CFF, CFE, CIRA was recognized as the "2011 Outstanding CFF Champion" for his leadership within the CFF Champion community and his accomplishments that furthered the CFF credential within the Georgia Society of CPAs (GSCPA). The Certified in Financial Forensics (CFF) Champion Program is an AICPA initiative that offers CFF credential holders the support, structure and resources to collaborate with state CPA societies in informing CPAs about the importance of forensic accounting services.
Jeff was instrumental in the revamp and rebranding of the Forensic and Valuation Services Section (FVS Section) of the GSCPA where new, innovative ideas and programs were implemented. Examples include updating their mission statement and key goals, utilizing LinkedIn groups as a networking tool for their members, surveying section members, and hosting the annual GSCPA Fraud and Forensic Accounting Conference in which over 140 participants attended last year. He and three other fellow CFF Champions from Georgia were featured on a nationwide AICPA conference call held in June to discuss the role of the GSCPA's FVS Section in assisting forensics practitioners and promoting the CFF credential. He also initiated and moderated an informal knowledge-sharing meeting at the recent AICPA National Forensic Accounting Conference.
In addition, the AICPA appointed Jeff as a member of the CFF Credential Committee for the 2011-12 volunteer service year. The purpose of this committee is to develop and maintain qualification requirements for credential applicants; to serve as technical advisor regarding the education offerings necessary to support the pathway for becoming a credential holder; to serve as technical advisor regarding the education offerings credential holders need to maintain and expand their expertise; and to develop and maintain initiatives to recruit and retain credential holders.

Sedation Is Available
Your comfort is our priority. Many patients choose to undergo sedation in the form of intravenous (IV) sedation or general anesthesia. These methods can help you remain relaxed throughout even lengthy and complex procedures.
Dental Implants & All-on-4® Implants
Dental implants are recognized as the most effective and healthiest way to replace missing teeth. Traditional restorations only replace the visible portion of a tooth, but implants are combined with additional pieces to completely replace a tooth from – root to tip. This foundation provides incredible stability for dentures and also guards against the bone loss that occurs when a tooth is lost or extracted.
All-on-4 implants offer an exciting advancement for denture wearers. The technique offers several benefits. First, a full denture can be supported with just four posts, offering a conservative alternative to traditional methods. Two of the posts are placed at an angle, so a greater number of patients can qualify without the need for bone grafting. Lastly, a denture can be placed on the same day as your surgery.
Everyone in this office is very welcoming and kind. They take great care of you and your comfort. I loved the darkening glasses, fuzzy warm blanket, warm towel at the end of cleaning, being able to watch Netflix, and grabbing a coke on the way out of the office. They have lots of newer technology for X-rays and finding cavities. The dentists and hygienists did excellent work! Cherish B. - satisfied patient

I've also added an icon to the blog. if you're not familiar with it, it's in Baybayin and the word is "salita." Baybayin is the syllabic script that Filipino ethnic groups used before the arrival of the Spaniards. The script is no longer used except by Hanunoos & Tagbanwas on Mindoro Island.
You may find more information about Baybayin in the links below:
