How to Treat Root Canal Abscess?
Definition of Root Abscess
A tooth abscess or root abscess is pus enclosed in the tissues of the jaw bone at the tip of an infected tooth. Usually, the abscess originates from a bacterial infection that has accumulated in the soft pulp of the tooth. This is usually but not always associated with what is commonly described as a dull throbbing excruciating ache.
A root abscess typically originates from dead pulp tissue, usually caused by untreated tooth decay, cracked teeth or extensive periodontal disease. A failed root canal treatment may also create a similar abscess.
There are two types of root abscess. A periapical abscess starts in the dental pulp and is most common in children. A periodontal abscess begins in the supporting bone and tissue structures of the teeth, and is the most common type in adults.
A root abscess usually occurs at the end of a root tip. However, it can sometimes be found along any of the root length and even at the top of the tooth where the roots divide. It is a small collection of dead tissue, live and dead cells. Any dental infection can seed bacteria throughout the body and cause other medical problems. It should always be treated as soon as possible. When the source of the irritation is removed, the dental infection goes away and the bone surrounding the tooth heals by filling in the damaged area with new bone.
Root canal Abscess Presentation / Symptoms
Common symptom of an acute tooth abscess is a toothache or a persistent, throbbing pain at the site of the infection. Putting pressure or warmth on the tooth can induce extreme pain.
In some cases, a root abscess may perforate bone and start draining into the surrounding tissues creating local facial swelling. The lymph glands in the neck in some cases will become swollen and tender in response to the infection.
Sometimes a root abscess shows up as a root canal complication after a root canal has been completed. In most cases, re-treatment or root canal surgery successfully removes the root canal infection. In root canal surgery, a window is made through the bone and the dental abscess is cleaned out with special dental instruments. Bone is sometimes placed into the surgical area to assist with healing and the patient returns in about a week to have the stitches removed. Fortunately, this procedure is only necessary in about one to two percent of all endodontic cases.
A toothache that is severe and continuous and results in gnawing or throbbing pain or sharp or shooting pain are common symptoms of an abscessed tooth. Other symptoms may include:
- Fever
- Pain when chewing
- Sensitivity of the teeth to hot or cold beverages/food
- Bitter taste in the mouth
- Bad breath
- Swollen neck glands
- General discomfort and uneasiness
- Redness and swelling of the gums
- Swollen area of the upper or lower jaw
- An open, draining sore on the side of the gum
If the root of the tooth dies as a result of infection, the toothache may stop. However, this doesn't mean the infection has healed; the infection remains active and continues to spread and destroy tissue. Therefore, if you experience any of the above listed symptoms, it is important to see a dentist even if the pain subsides.
Treatment of Root Abscess
One treatment for an abscessed root is to extract it, thereby removing the source of infection. However, in select cases, root canal therapy may be able to save the tooth by cleaning the source of infection in the pulp chamber and root canal system.
Root Abscess Untreated Consequences
An untreated severe tooth abscess may become large enough to perforate bone and extend into the soft tissue. From there it follows the path of least resistance. Largely dependent on the location of the infected tooth, the thickness of bone, muscle and fascia attachments, the infection then spreads either internally or externally.
External drainage may begin as a boil which bursts allowing pus drainage from the abscess, intraorally (usually through the gum) or extra orally. Chronic drainage will allow an epithelial lining to form in this communication to form a pus draining canal (fistula). Sometimes this type of drainage will immediately relieve some of the painful symptoms associated with the pressure.
Internal drainage is of more concern as growing infection makes space within the tissues surrounding the infection. Severe complications requiring immediate hospitalisation include Ludwigs angina, which is a combination of growing infection and cellulitis which closes the airway space causing suffocation in extreme cases. Also, infection can spread down the tissue spaces to the mediastinum which has significant consequences on the vital organs such as the heart. Another complication, usually from upper teeth, is a risk of septicaemia (infection of the blood), from connecting into blood vessels.
Depending on the severity of the infection, the sufferer may feel only mildly ill, or may in extreme cases require hospital care.
Prevention of Root Abscess
For prevention tooth abscess you should:
* Have a good dental hygiene
* Brush teeth regularly
* Floss regularly
* Use antiseptic mouthwash
* Go for regular dental checkups
* Get prompt treatment for tooth decay
* Have low-sugar diet
Following good oral hygiene practices can reduce the risk of developing a tooth abscess. Also, if your teeth experience trauma (for example, become loosened or chipped), seek prompt dental attention.

NORTON, Mass. - Freshman Kimberly Barker scored 2:45 into
overtime to lift MIT past Wheaton College, 1-0 on Tuesday in a New
England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) field hockey
contest on Clark Field during the Lyons' regular season home
Wheaton received 19 saves from senior keeper Andrea Bagley and a pair of defensive stops by teammates, as the Blue and White limited an offense that entered the contest averaging nearly four goals. The Lyons slipped to 5-10 overall and 1-5 in the league, as each of their last five losses have come by a single goal. MIT improved to 12-4 and 3-3, recording its highest overall win total since 1998.
Senior midfielder Alex Block and sophomore back Bonnie Davies each made defensive saves for the Lyons, while MIT junior keeper Keri Dixon collected four saves in net. The Engineers held advantages of 28-5 in shots and 11-8 in penalty corners.
MIT had a handful of chances early in the contest, firing off four consecutive shots during one sequence in the fifth minute, but Bagley saved each attempt. Wheaton junior Jessica Strock had her team's best opportunity in the opening period but was stopped by Dixon with fewer than two minutes remaining.
Wheaton's defense continued to come up big in the second half, as Block made a defensive save of senior Ekavali Mishra's shot in the 41st minute before Bagley denied a point-blank shot from the middle of the circle at 47:40.
During the 52nd minute, Strock deflected freshman Gillian Mann's hit just right of the cage, and Bagley came up with a big save at the other end moments later, rushing out to stop a shot by sophomore Kameron Klauber. Classmate Anna Teruya later swept a back-hander toward the right post, but Davies recorded a defensive stop at 53:30.
Strock had a pair of shots stopped by Dixon with a little more than eight minutes to go in regulation, and the teams headed to overtime. On MIT's third corner of the extra period, the Engineers cycled the ball to the right side of the circle and Barker, who whiffed on an attempt before knocking in the winning marker, with Bagley rushing out to deny a try.
Wheaton hits the road for its final two regular season contests, beginning on Saturday with a 5:30 p.m. game against Smith College at Enrico Fermi High School in Connecticut. MIT will host Mount Holyoke College on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. in its final home game of the regular season.

LES MISERABLES: At the Core of It is Exposition of Christian Virtues
"To love another person is to see the face of God."
- Colm Wilkinson's Bishop Myriel of Digne and Anne Hathaway's Fantine, together with Hugh Jackman's Jean Valjean, sung those arguably the most indelible lyrics by tail end in the Tom Hooper-helmed musical motion picture, "Les Miserables," a faithful film adaptation based on the 1987 Tony Award-winning musical, written by Claude-Michel Schonberg, Alain Boublil, and Herbert Kretzmer, which in turn was inspired by the French historical novel of the same name, published in 1862, by Victor Hugo, a well-known French Romantic poet and novelist who had evident antipathy toward the leaders of the Roman Catholic Church; but, interestingly, had high regard for the Church's doctrines.
Hooper's non-intrusive camerawork, which amounts to grandiose wide shots, especially during the sweeping melodic instrumental music played prior to or in between the sung parts, and medium close up shots, mostly one long takes filmed at least two minutes to capture the emotions of show-stopping solo numbers such as Valjean's "Soliloquy," Fantine's "I Dreamed a Dream," and Marius' (Eddie Redmayne) "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables," aided the telling of the story, which at the core of it was the frequent exposition of Christian virtues of faith, hope, charity, mercy, and forgiveness.
Valjean, once imprisoned for 19 years at the infamous Bagne of Toulon in France for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his starving family, broke parole - previously given by parole officer Javert (Russell Crowe) - to start a new life after a merciful bishop, from whom Valjean stole precious silverware, lied before several policemen to save the ex-convict from another arrest. The bishop subsequently told Valjean to use those silverware to live a life of an honest man, which the latter took to heart.
Nearly a decade later, Valjean had assumed a new identity as Monsieur Madeleine, an appoinTed Mayor of Montreuil-sur-Mer and a factory owner, whose former factory worker Fantine fell into the trap of prostitution in order to pay debt to the Thenardiers (Sacha Baron Cohen, Helena Bonham Carter), corrupt inn keepers who had Fantine's illegitimate child, Cosette (Isabelle Allen), left in their care.
With complete sympathy for the almost dying Fantine, Valjean pulled out all the stops to recover Cosette from the cunning, scheming Thenardiers, and to see Cosette grow into a fine young lady (Amanda Seyfried); while Javert continued his obsessive quest to bring Valjean back to prison.
More than 60 million people around the world have seen at least one production of the stage musical, produced by British theater impresario Cameron Mackintosh, that could translate to a captured audience that would buy a movie ticket and check out Jackman, Crowe, Hathaway, Cohen, Carter et. al's highly publicized live singing (by the way, Crowe lacks the vocal chops and wears a poker face to be taken seriously as the antagonist Javert) and these A-list actors' take on Hugo's well-drawn characters; or would probably revisit the musical's most endearing show tunes, "I Dreamed a Dream," "On My Own," and "Do You Hear the People Sing?" among others.
Jackman and Hathaway's Golden Globe-worthy nominated performances would pull the viewers' heartstrings. However, integral to those emotionally-charged performances, including Redmayne and Samantha Barks' (Eponine, daughter of the Thenardiers), were, again, more Christian themes such as love in various forms (spiritual, maternal, and paternal, among others), morality, and salvation that would touch even the non-believers, no less; but would much more resonate among the religious individuals in the audience.
On the surface, "Les Miserables" can move one to tears because of its characters' intertwined melodramatic destinies, poignant songs with ear-shattering crescendos, and bittersweet denouement.
On a deeper level, the film can also be deemed a Christian movie in disguise, which may come off as too preachy and tacky to some.
Working Title/Cameron Mackintosh's movie adaptation of the mega-musical "Les Miserables" opens across the Philippines on Wednesday, January 16.

Seoul: NKorea raises security, has troops on alert
PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — North Korea has tightened internal security and put troops on alert since the announcement of leader Kim Jong Il's death as it moves to consolidate power behind his young son and heir, South Korean intelligence indicated Wednesday.
Concerns over what will happen next in the unpredictable communist enclave — which has a 1.2-million troop military, advanced ballistic missiles and a nuclear weapons development program — have sharply raised tensions around northeast Asia.
Kim Jong Il ruled the country for 17 years after inheriting power from his father, national founder and North Korean hero Kim Il Sung. His chosen heir — Kim Jong Un — only entered the public view last year and remains a mystery to most of the world.
But South Korean parliament member Kwon Young-se said Seoul's National Intelligence Service believes the North is now concentrating on consolidating Kim Jong Un's power and that the country has placed its troops on alert since Kim Jong Il's death.
North Korea on Monday announced Kim, 69, died of a massive heart attack.
Kwon said the NIS has told the parliamentary intelligence committee, which he chairs, that senior military officials have pledged allegiance to Kim Jong Un, but police security has been tightened in major cities across the country. Officials in Seoul say they have not seen any unusual military troop movements.
Initial indications coming out of North Korea suggest the transition to Kim Jong Un was moving forward.
The young Kim, who is still in his twenties, led a procession of senior officials Tuesday in a viewing of Kim Jong Il's body, which is being displayed in a glass coffin near that of Kim Il Sung.
Publicly presiding over the funeral proceedings was an important milestone for Kim's son, strengthening his image as the country's political face at home and abroad.
State media said Kim Jong Un also received mourners, including foreign envoys, in the Kumsusan Memorial Palace as he stood with a "guard of honor by the sides of the bier together with members of the National funeral Committee."
The report in KCNA did not specify which foreign countries the envoys represented.
According to official media, more than five million North Koreans have gathered at monuments and memorials in the capital since the death of Kim Jong Il. Hundreds of thousands visited monuments around the city within hours of the official announcement that Kim had died over the weekend.
The North has declared an 11-day period of mourning that will culminate in his state funeral and processions through the capital on Dec. 28-29.
In a dreamlike scene captured by Associated Press Television News, Kim's coffin appeared to float on a raft of "kimjongilia" — the flowers named after him — with his head and shoulders bathed in a spotlight as solemn music played. Various medals and honors were displayed at his feet.
The bier was located in a hall of the Kumsusan Memorial Palace, a mausoleum where the embalmed body of Kim Jong Il's father and North Korean founder Kim Il Sung has been on view in a glass sarcophagus since his death in 1994. Kim Jong Un wore a black Mao-style suit, his hair cropped closely on the sides but longer on top, as he walked with much older officials in suits and military uniforms.
In a move likely to anger the North, South Korean activists and defectors launched giant balloons containing tens of thousands of propaganda leaflets across the border on Wednesday. North Korea has previously warned it would fire at South Korea in response to such actions.
There were no reports of retaliation.
South Korea has put its military on alert and Japan has ordered extra vigilance from its coast guard. President Barack Obama has been in close contact with his South Korean and Japanese counterparts, and has reassured them that Washington will stand by its allies.
China, meanwhile, appears ready to deal with Kim Jong Un.
President Hu Jintao offered his condolences at North Korea's embassy in Beijing on Tuesday as the government hinted at an early invitation for a visit by Kim Jong Un.
China's response to Kim Jong Il's death highlights the government's growing emphasis on North Korean ties despite its annoyance at the North's refusal to reform its listless economy and its recurring provocative acts against South Korea that raise tensions in the region.
But how much clout Beijing carries isn't clear.
"China's influence on North Korea is often overstated," said David Reeths, a senior adviser with IHS Jane's Consulting. "While it's true that China is their most important ally and patron, North Korea remains fiercely independent and harbors tremendous suspicion about China's ultimate aims. ... China's ability to react decisively and coherently to fast moving events may also be hampered by their own ongoing generational change in leadership."
Whether the younger Kim would depart from his father's political approach also remains a mystery.
Unlike Kim Jong Il, who had 20 years of political grooming under his charismatic father, Kim Jong Un only emerged publicly as Kim's heir about a year ago. Very little is known about him — even his age isn't certain, although he is believed to be 27.
South Korean's Unification Ministry spokesman Choi Bo-seon said it is Seoul's understanding that Pyongyang is trying to raise the image of Kim Jong Un as next leader through developing a personality cult and that the North is seeking to unite the country by repeatedly touting Kim Jong Il's feats and showing dramatic scenes of mourning and grief.
The U.S. State Department said late Tuesday that further discussions were needed to assess food needs and on monitoring aid, which would be possible only after the 11-day official mourning period for Kim ends.
"We're going to have to keep talking about this, and given the mourning period, frankly, we don't think we'll be able to have much more clarity and resolve these issues before the New Year," spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told a news conference.
Reported from Pyongyang by Associated Press Television News senior video journalist Rafael Wober. Associated Press writers Foster Klug, Hyung-jin Kim, Sam Kim and Eric Talmadge in Seoul, as well as Korea bureau chief Jean H. Lee, contributed to this story.

2007 Conference Program
Registration Form (Acrobat (PDF) 13kB Sep11 07)
Keynote - Geoscience Teaching in a Cyber-Enabled World: Bridging Tradition and Technology
Today's students live in a technologically rich environment, where exploration of the natural world is available not only through field-based learning but also at the click of a mouse. The boundaries defining the traditional classroom are becoming diffuse, as virtual collaboratories connect students on opposite sides of the world and digital libraries open possibilities for voluntary and self-directed learning. The full potential of cyberinfrastructure for learning has yet to be realized. As practitioners firmly grounded in field- and laboratory-based teaching, geoscience educators are now exploring how to merge the best practices of traditional instruction with the possibilities of the digital age. This presentation will examine some current trends in geoscience education and the partnerships necessary to enhance geoscience teaching and learning in the classroom of the future.
Dr. Sharon Locke is currently a program director in the Division of Research on Learning at the National Science Foundation (NSF), where she has responsibilities in programs that support the development of innovative resources, tools, and models to improve science teaching and learning for all students. Prior to her appointment at NSF, she co-directed three programs to support increased participation of underrepresented students in science, including the NSF Eastern Regional Alliance for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (EAST) and the NASA-sponsored Access Earth, both based at the University of Southern Maine. From 2003-2006 she was named a Distinguished Speaker of the National Association of Geoscience Teachers based on her work on improving the accessibility of the geosciences. Dr. Locke holds a Ph.D. in geology from the University of Minnesota.

The former defence lawyer, Li Zhuang, is demanding a thorough investigation of his case, which has raised questions about how Bo ruled Chongqing a metropolis in China`s southwest as its party chief until his downfall in March.
China`s top government prosecuting office said on its website today that it had received Li`s petition and will handle his complaint according to procedure.
Li was detained in 2009 after his client Gong Gangmo, a Chongqing businessman swept into Bo`s anti-mafia campaign because he was suspected of gang crimes, alleged that the defence lawyer had instigated him to lie about being tortured for confession.
Li, who spent 18 months in jail, has said Gong framed him under duress of Chongqing police. Li has been appealing his case since June 2011, when he was released from jail.
The prosecution of Li caused public uproar, especially among China`s intellectuals who started to suspect that Bo`s anti-mafia efforts had gone too far.
Bo, a charismatic politician in quest of higher power, was ousted from the Chongqing post in March, weeks after his top aide Wang Lijun fled to a US consulate and said that Bo`s wife had murdered a British businessman. Bo`s purge disrupted China`s once-in-a-decade power transition that took place last week in Beijing.
Bo now faces allegations of corruption and obstruction of justice in the murder case.

I am now on the look out for a new circular knitting challenge.

Creative Friday: My knitting setting
I am now on the look out for a new circular knitting challenge.

I am planning to learn to knit in 2012!ReplyDelete
I love it when a challenge that has taken a while to complete gets finished, such a sense of accomplishment. Those shorts are amazing, I love them!
Maybe you've already done this or discussed this, but I'm too lazy to dig through archives to find out; would you ever publish or sell your pattern for those shorts? I remember seeing photos somewhere and loving them, and tracing them back to here, and that's how I found your blog! I finished a knitted project a few weeks ago, and since then haven't been able to get excited about making anything. Shorts might be a good challenge...ReplyDelete
Ooooooooh Michael spoilt you! That jumper would be lovely, its a goer!ReplyDelete
omgg those shorts are such a dream! I wish I could knit :(ReplyDelete
The concept of knitting, for me, goes in one ear and immediately out the other. But my goodness, do I love these knitted shorts of yours. It doesn't matter how long they took, they look aaaamazing. I envy the patience it took to 1) learn how to knit, and 2) apply it with such skill (and style!).ReplyDelete

Our gal stalks fashionistas, Mrs. DJ Jazzy Jeff and mini-Chipwiches at Nordstromania, then finds a little more than child's play happening at the Delaware Children's Museum first anniversary bash.
(page 1 of 2)
The Gods of Fashion Are Upon Us
To view photos from this party, click here.
When you're out for the evening, and your most disconcerting thought on etiquette questions whether it's uncouth to put your black-cherry mojito down in close proximity to a $10,000 pair of Jimmy Choo boots, then chances are your night can't get much better.
Yes, Gabby knows, you've all been to the Nordstrom by now. You've died a million deaths over the Robert Rodriguez and Tadashi Shoji collections. But if you weren't at the Nordstrom pre-opening gala, you missed out on the 302 glitterati at its most fiercely daring, interesting and straight-up glam.
Before Gabby dishes about the soiree that was, in her superior judgment, the most stylish gathering of 2011—on a Wednesday night, no less—she has a question for the ladies: Where the heck have you been? Gabby gets more than an eyeful of gams and gowns on the regular, but never like this. You've seen one black cocktail dress, you've seen them all, so Gabby was floored to see some very fashionable women pull out all the stops. Backless, ruffled minis. Sky-high studded rocker-chick booties flawlessly mixed with dainty, diaphanous lilacs and pinks. Expertly draped bijoux (Wilmington councilwoman Hanifa Shabazz, I'm talking to you. I saw you with all those gorgeous baubles coiled around your neck.) A plumage of peacock accessories. Bodacious in-your-face floral printed silks. Every kind of silhouette you can imagine—no plain-Jane shift dresses that night.
The dudes were spot-on, too. Gabby spied your super-slim lapels, hip white dinner jackets, dashing ties and colorful, throwback hats (Paging Ebbie Alfree: Do you copy? Or are you still rooted to the floor, salivating over those Tods shoes?).
Dare Gabby say it? It's teetering on her tongue like a pair of Louboutins fresh from the tissue, but … oh, heck. You all deserve it. It looked like Manhattan. Who better to comment than ex-Manhattanite-turned-fresh-princess-of-Bear, Lynette C. Townes—aka Mrs. DJ Jazzy Jeff? The stunning PR savant of Remix PR asked, "Who are all these fashionable women? I need a directory. I'm new to the area, and these women need to be my friends. Now." Townes didn't bring Jazz out—Gabby hears he was busy prepping for a European tour—but she did bring headmistress Chandra Anderson, the L.A.-born accessories guru behind Cha by Chandra, sporting one of her own fabulous headpieces. Next time you're at Nordstrom, check out Townes' and Andersons' must-see collections: "Rag & Bone, Rebecca Taylor and DVF," Townes said. "They've got some great looks up there in that section."
The band did big things on the main concourse, and the spread did little things: Gabby's favorite Callahan Catering options were the mini-fish tacos, mini-bottles of Coke, and the pièce de résistance: mini-Chipwich ice cream sandwiches on a stick. If they wouldn't have melted, Gabby would have stuck five in her clutch for later. There was dancing, there was drinking, and by God, was there shopping, especially in women's shoes, where the Big Four—Pete, Erik, Jamie and Blake Nordstrom—held court. Gabby lost count of how many shoes Wilmington's Tom Resch sold to the giddy women surrounding him.
When Gabby was struck stupid by a hot pink Betsey Johnson mini, Springer teacher Dawn Camfield snapped her out of her trance by saying to her mother Donna Gregg that she wanted to bring her 5-year-old son to partake in the high-fashion for children. Now that is superb parenting. Camfield and Gregg were enjoying girls' night out, as was Audrey Loew, who looked striking in a lime green and gold J. Crew Collection ensemble. "I haven't had time to really look at the merchandise," Loew said. "I'm too busy people-watching. I belong to [Hockessin Athletic Club] and I've seen tons of other members. I can't help staring at how different they look out of their exercise clothes!"
The energy, the ambience, the luxe goodies gleaming from every surface: blame it all on Terisha Johnson, general manager. "I can't tell you how happy I am to be here," said the 11-year Nordstrom vet. "This is my first store opening." With bold eye-shadow, chic short-cropped hair and a traffic-stopping electric blue Catherine Malandrino, Johnson personified Nordstrom. "We can't wait to start connecting with Delaware," she said. "This is a compelling area to shop. And tax-free doesn't hurt." You don't have to tell us twice, lady.
If there was one thing Gabby learned from Nordstromania, it's that style is ageless. Just ask Nancy Hebner, who wasn't shy about her age in the least. "I'm an old lady," she said. "But I'm having a ball." And indeed she was: "My favorite part," she said, "is the vodka tonics." You go, sister.
Gabby's final word: To the quartet of rowdy women who barefooted it out of the store around 10 p.m., champagne flutes and stilettos in hand, singing to Lady Gaga before jumping into a stretch Hummer: Gabby salutes you. That, my friends, is Wednesday night done right.

Court Says Dutch Anti-Piracy Organization Overreached; Won't Shut Down Pirate Party Proxy Site
from the good-news dept
Thankfully, a court in The Hague seems to be realizing that BREIN keeps changing the rules after the fact. It has said that BREIN can't demand that the Dutch Pirate Party take down a general proxy -- as opposed to the specific reverse proxy that only went to TPB. The more general proxy has to be allowed. Next week, the court will explore more fully if the specific proxy really should have been taken down as well. It's good to see the court recognizing that just because BREIN wants to (impossibly) block all access to TPB, it doesn't get to play whac-a-mole by continually changing what the ruling actually said.

The Thanksgiving Table in… Blue?
You wouldn't first imagine it, but as a complement to orange and gold, blue actually can come forth as a beautiful and very suitable color for the Thanksgiving table:
The silvery example above from Martha Stewart is set off with gold-painted mini pumpkins at each place setting. Real Simple takes a similar approach, pairing blue with a centerpiece of gilded fruit and a brown linen tablecloth.
Featured in Lonny, this predominantly orange table with bold blue accents was created by Eddie Ross. If you like this look, keep your eyes peeled for cobalt glassware at vintage shops and thrift stores. Once again, an example of blue working because of its beautiful relationship with oranges and golds!
Another direction in which you can use some blue? Traditional Blue-Willow-style dishware, as shown at a tabletop from iVillage.

Hey everyone, this is my first post and I thought this would be a good topic to bring up.
So, I actually can't stand the word/label of atheist meaning "without god". I mostly don't like it because it describes a group of people as something that "most" people are not. I dont think that anyone should be described in such a way. What if we started calling black people say, non-whites. or If the majority group of people were actually atheist and we started calling people of…Continue

I remain a broken record these last few posts. Reflections on my Southeast Asian travels, this past week's VVC scouting trip to Chicago, and a Portland vegan nacho report (East End, Veggie Grill, etc.) are bound to come. I'm slowly compiling a list of my most memorable travel meals, and have been trying to recreate a few, as well. Khao Soi Noodles, Young Coconut Curry, Tom Yam, Tofu Larb and a 'Wedding Dip' in Siem Reap are all encouraging visits to Fubonn and eyerolls to food cart options. I'm now back in town for a few weeks solid, at the least, and caffeination has been at my side once I was able to stomach it in Portland once more…
From this weekend: cup of coffee, Chicago Diner
Equal Exchange beans & sugar
This past Autumn: Soy Cappucino, Cloud Seven Cafe
Just yesterday: Soy Cappucino [f] & Soy Latte [r], Fresh Pot downtown
Stumptown Coffee Roasters
The we're-waiting-for-Sizzle Pie-to-open-for-brunch-pizza Soy Cappucino, Grendel's Coffee House
Hilltribe coffee & steamed soy milk, Blue Diamond in Chiang Mai
The post Montavilla Farmers Market stop: Soy Latte, Bipartisan Cafe
Soy Latte, Public Domain Coffee
PD/Coffee Bean International
Soy Latte, Aliviar Coffeehouse
Maeve and I stopped here before the screening of My Own Private River with Gus Van Sandt and James Franco at the Hollywood Theater. Jitters. Swooning.
Soy Latte, Coffee Division
Stumptown Coffee Roasters
Lastly: more caffeination in Chicago. I picked up a pound of El Diablo Dark Roast from Intelligentsia's Millennium Park Coffeebar on Monday.

Today was a crusher, and that's even before the Phillies play their second game tonight against Milwaukee. With a win, they can close even with the Brewers for the wild-card and a game behind the Mets.
The same old issues did in the Mets today. They didn't hit in the clutch and their bullpen caved. Oliver Perez did not pitch well, but was in position to win. It looks as if Perez regressed in his last few starts and that's another cause for concern.
If the Mets didn't take care of business against the Braves at home, it makes you wonder if they can do it next week against them in Atlanta. And, the Washington Nationals always play them tough. For games in DC won't be a breeze.
Pedro Martinez goes tomorrow, but your guess is as good as mine as to what he'll give the Mets. His durability is an issue, and you know he can't be counted on for more than five.

RIT College of Science student Tessa DiDonato was awarded an American Society for Microbiology Undergraduate Research Fellowship.
DiDonato, from Douglas, Mass., is a fourth-year biochemistry major and a student in the RIT Honors Program.
The competitive undergraduate fellowship is awarded to students like DiDonato, who are interested in pursuing graduate careers in microbiology. Award recipients receive a stipend of up to $4,000, a two-year student membership to the society and reimbursement for travel expenses to the 114th American Society for Microbiology General Meeting and the society's Capstone Institute in Boston.
DiDonato studies Diadenosine polyphosphatases/ mRNA decapping enzymes of the Nudix Hydrolase Superfamily, which could be novel antibiotic targets. She has conducted research since her freshman year under the guidance of her mentor Suzanne O'Handley, associate professor in School of Chemistry and Materials Sciences in RIT's College of Science.
"I am extremely fascinated by infectious diseases and in understanding the molecular processes involved in the pathogens that cause these diseases," DiDonato says. "I plan on pursuing my Ph.D. and ultimately do research and teach at the university level."

Prob too late for Colton. Filming will be starting VERY soon.
Quote from: georgiapeach on March 22, 2012, 09:29:32 PMProb too late for Colton. Filming will be starting VERY soon.So the returnees are on S25? (And oh, Marcus of Gabon deserved to return too!)
They so need to put survivor in Canada its feasible. Mid June to Mid July for a season.
So the returnees are on S25?
Quote from: Cocoa on March 22, 2012, 09:32:15 PMSo the returnees are on S25? I am going to say that I think the returnees could possibly be for the "summer" filming season, so season 26. And again, not an AllStars. More of an I Got Screwed! sort of season.Also wondering if Season 25 could have a couple but not all returnees... Take it fwiw.
How about a "Survivor: Celebrity Edition" similar to what we have in the Philippines.Of course Survivor Philippines (the local show shown by a local network) sucks, but it would be interesting to see familiar celebrity faces getting hungry and all... lol
Quote from: georgiapeach on March 23, 2012, 07:58:09 PMHe is the one I would most like to see!! WAAAAY overdue, imo!!Hopefully people remember him! Long overdue indeed.
He is the one I would most like to see!! WAAAAY overdue, imo!!
Okay, if there is going to be a "Second Chances" season, then here's who I think will return.- Mike- Colton - Jane - Erik (from FvF)- Christine- Matt (from RI)- Adam- Natalie (from FvF)- Kenny- Sierra- Cochran- Rob C.- Russel Swann- Michelle - Liz- Hunter- Kelly Bruno- Spencer- Frosti- Silas
