Yesterday, I was able to do whatever I wanted all day. This meant watching movies and working on the new quilt. I still haven't figured out what to call it yet.
Anyway, I've had the fabric for a few weeks but I hadn't started yet, probably because I was a bit nervous of this thing:
At no point did it occur to me that 15 yards meant an entire bolt. 15 yards doesn't really compute in my head. I blame working in metric for this lapse in mental process. (Yes, I know how long 15 meters is. Let me blame the metric system anyway.)
Really, I was a bit intimidated by that thing. And it was a pretty darn big bit.
But this weekend, the sun was out, Tim was asleep, the movie had a good soundtrack...and I felt brave.
I'd already decided on a couple things with this project:
-I'll be doing this "Quilt-as-you-go" style. It's going to be a queen-size quilt, and my little Brother machine has a small harp space. Really small. As in, a twin-size quilt would be tough to fit, doing straight-line quilting. Forget about free-motion.
-I'm going to applique the prints, instead of piecing them. Why? Because I want to. Because it won't have visible breaks in the print patterns. Because it will still look nice. Because I won't screw up my math. Because I sometimes have issues with matching seams. Because I can. Because I feel like it.
Is that cheating? ....possibly. But if I have fun, and it looks good in the end, isn't that all that matters? I'd rather "cheat" at this and enjoy the process, than do it "the right way" and tear my hair out in the process.
Here's the justification on it looking good:
Here's the next two squares:
We'll see what else I manage to get done today...

That looks like a fun quilt. Can't wait to see your progress reports. Think of the fun you can have with the 'extra' three yards of blue, LOL!ReplyDelete

Hi! I just popped in from Fabric Tuesday, and I think I have to follow you now. :o) You sound like my kinda gal. Not only do the fabrics not have breaks in them, but think of all the TIME you're saving, all the cutting, piecing, not just of the focus fabrics but the background too. I like the idea of just placing them where you want, like on a canvas. I will be back to see how it's progressing. :o) Nice to *meet* you.ReplyDelete
p.s. my machine has a small harp, too and I have no idea how I'm going to quilt the quilt I'm working on right now. :/

PSALMS: Recurring Themes In The Psalms by W. Robert Godfrey
From Learning to Love the Psalms
A great aid to our study of the psalms is recognizing the major themes that occur over and over again in the psalms. Certain basic themes unite the psalms and underscore essential truths about God and his care for his people. In addition to these great truths about God, we will also see that the Psalter voices specific responses from God's people to those truths. The combination of objective truths and subjective responses are the recurring rhythm of the Psalter.
One great theme dominates the Psalter. What is that theme? John Calvin in his five-volume commentary on the Book of Psalms suggested that the great theme of the Psalter is the providence of God, specifically God's preservation of his own. Hesitant as I am to try to improve on Calvin, I would expand on his thought by saying that the great theme of the Psalter is God's goodness and unfailing love for the righteous. God is always good in ways completely compatible with his holiness. And in his goodness, he never fails in his love and care for those who belong to him.
As this truth of God's goodness and love is celebrated throughout the Psalter, the regular response of God's people is clear: they praise him. When we really think about who God is for us and what he does for us, the only possible reaction is praise. Indeed, the Book of Psalms derives its Hebrew name, the Book of Praises, from this principal reaction – praise – to the principal theme – God's goodness and unfailing love for the righteous.
In Psalm 25, for example, we can see this theme of God's care for his people and their response of praise and trust clearly expressed in several verses. We see God's care:
Good and upright is the Lord; therefore he instructs sinners in the way. (v. 8)
All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies. (v. 10)
We see the people's response of praise:
To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. O my God, in you I trust. (v. 1)
Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame. (v. 3)
Three other subordinate but significant themes intertwine with the great theme of God's providential care in the Psalter. The first subordinate theme is the sinfulness of the righteous. The righteous in the Psalter are those who are bound to God by a true faith in terms of the covenant. The righteous are not perfect. They can fall into grievous sin. Yet, their sins are forgiven because of the substitute and sacrifice that God provides in Christ. They are bound in covenant to God by his action and are growing in grace. Still, the righteous do sin, and the Psalter reflects on the problem of ongoing sin in individuals and in communities.
The reaction of God's people to this continuing sin in their lives is confession of sin and lamentation for sin. So in addition to praise, we do find confession and grief as reactions in the Psalter.
Again in Psalm 25, we can see this theme of the sinfulness of the righteous and their prayer for forgiveness intertwined in several verses:
Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your steadfast love remember me, for the sake of your goodness, O Lord! (v. 7)
For your name's sake, O Lord, pardon my guilt, for it is great. (v. 11)
Consider my affliction and my trouble, and forgive all my sins. (v. 18)
A second subordinate theme in the Psalter is the mystery of providence. While we know that God is always good and that he always cares for us, there are times and experiences that do not seem to conform to that truth. The mystery of providence comes in two basic forms. One mystery of providence is the success of the wicked. If God is holy and in charge of all, why do the wicked prosper? They seem at times to prosper in having health and wealth and influence in this world. The Psalter recognizes the reality of this experience and the confusion of the righteous that results. Indeed, the Psalter gives expression to the envy and prayers for relief that the righteous experience in reaction.
Psalm 25 offers an example of the mystery of providence in the apparent success of the wicked:
Consider how many are my foes, and with that violent hatred they hate me! (v. 19)
Another mystery of providence, closely related to the prosperity of the wicked, is the mystery of the suffering of the righteous. The righteous experience loss in this world. Sometimes that suffering is the loss of health or the loss of prosperity. Sometimes the righteous suffer great persecution and oppression at the hands of the wicked. Here again, the response is complaint and prayer. In the midst of such loss, an even deeper suffering is often felt: the apparent indifference of God. If God is good, loving, and all-powerful, how can he let us suffer so? Various psalms give expression to complaint, lamentation, and prayer for deliverance in the face of this mystery.
We have examples of this mystery of providence also in Psalm 25.
Turn to me, and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. (v. 16)
The troubles of my heart are enlarged; bring me out of my distresses. (v. 17)
A third subordinate theme that echoes through much of the Psalter is confidence in God and in the future despite present suffering. Even in the midst of suffering, envy, complaint, and grief, the psalmist will – sometimes surprisingly – suddenly express his confidence that God will come to his aid. This confidence in the future is often buttressed by reflections on God's great works and faithfulness in the past. So, history becomes an important part of a psalm, as the psalmist encourages himself and us that the God who saved in the past will save in the future. This confidence is the source of much prayer and of praise to God.
Again, Psalm 25 expresses this confidence in God in spite of present suffering:
Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame; they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous. (v. 3)
My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for he will pluck my feet out of the net. (v. 15)
Oh, guard my soul and deliver me! Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you. (v. 20)
We can summarize these themes of the Psalter and the human response to those themes in this way:
The great theme:
God's goodness and unfailing love for the righteous
human response: praise
Subordinate themes:
the sinfulness of the righteous
human response: confession of sin and lamentation
the mysteries of providence in the success of the wicked
human response: expressions of envy and prayer for relief
confidence in God and the future despite difficulties
human response: prayer for relief and praise
Keeping these themes and responses in mind as we study the psalms will help us see the basic message of each of the psalms more clearly.
Questions for Reflection and Discussion
- What is the great theme that dominates the Psalter? What are some examples of objective truths and subjective responses that recur regularly throughout the psalms?
- Throughout the Psalter, what is the regular response of God's people toward his goodness and love? What does this look like in your Christian life?
- What are the three other subordinate themes in the Psalter? How does keeping these themes and responses in mind while studying the psalms help you see the basic message of each psalm more clearly?

Lately, when I look at the temperature for the day and it says 30 something degrees I think that when I'm going to step outside it's magically going to be 80 degrees. Unfortunately that's not the case (and shooting by the water doesn't really help). I always think that winter is a joke in the south, but it's not playing around this year. So here's another layered up look. I didn't want to sacrifice my skirts just for a little cold weather, so I bundled my top half. I love layering with moto jackets because they're surprisingly warm without me screaming like Randy from A Christmas Story "I can't put my arms down!". I also added an incredibly warm faux-fur scarf which adds that chic element to this otherwise simple outfit.
What I'm Wearing

Rubbish dump landslide kills 35 in Ethiopian capital
A landslide at a huge garbage dump on the outskirts of the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa killed 35 people who were searching for food and other goods there, an official said on Sunday (March 12).
Hundreds of people rely on the 50-year-old Reppi dump, the city's only landfill site, to survive. They sift through the garbage for food, as well as items they can sell like recyclable metal.
Twenty-eight people were injured, two seriously, local authority spokeswoman Dagmawit Moges said.
Officials said on Sunday that the collapse occurred Saturday night pulling down about thirty houses belonging to people living on the landfill in Koshe.
The Koshe landfill has existed for more than 40 years and is one of the major dump sites on the outskirts of the capital which is home to a growing 4 million people.

See what our guests have to say about us:
04 August 2015
"Thank you for affording me the opportunity to comment and to congratulate you on a beautiful guesthouse. I was very impressed. In fact, have mentioned it to colleagues. We are sometimes looking for accommodation for 1 night for or customers and this compares more than favourable with the places that we have booked in the past.
The first impression I got was tranquillity. Despite the fact that it is winter, the gardens looked well-kept.
The bedroom that was booked for me (Bryan's Room) was beautiful, bedding immaculate and clean. The bathroom spacious and CLEAN! There was not a sign of neglect at any of these areas - I had the impression of proud ownership.
Would recommend without hesitation." - MO
04 June 2015
"Thanks for a very pleasant stay! We were treated very well by Abram!!!!!! Rooms nice, everything works and breakfast fantastic!" - JW
03 June 2015
"I had a wonderful stay, the place is awesome... and I made a new friend (Abram), he is just the person for the job and I have never met a person with the same standards as me when it comes to customer service, he really impressed me.
I will always go back to Flame Lily in the future. Thank you for an unforgettable stay." - SV
01 June 2015
"Our stay at Flame Lily Inn was amazing. I really enjoyed my stay there it was like home away from home. It actually started when I was making the bookings, Abram was very helpful even our head office said so.
The welcoming was wonderful, Rina made us to feel at home. The rooms were beautiful and we enjoyed their breakfast.
I would definitely go back there, and recommend the place to others." - NM
25 May 2015
"Ek wil vir jou baie dankie se vir die tydperk wat Louis Carroll by Flame Lily Inn gebly het. Ek moet vir jou se dit is die eerste gastehuis in die afgelope vier jaar waar ek hom bespreek wat hy geen klagtes gehad het nie en selfs weer wil gaan bly. So 'n groot dankie van my af." - SB
13 May 2015
"We were so well received, we were so comfortable, our breakfast was just right and to our liking that, as we fairly often spend a few days in the area, there is absolutely no reason to consider looking elsewhere." - RT
24 March 2015
"I must say the place itself is so beautiful and very calming." - SL
20 March 2015
"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Flame Lily Inn. Abram is probably the nicest person I've ever met. Rina was lovely and cooks up a smashing breakfast with a smile. I was treated with real hospitality and would certainly recommend your guesthouse to anyone I know going to Johannesburg. I'll also make it a point I return but a big thanks from me and my wife." - S
13 March 2015
"I believe your Inn provides excellent value, the only suggestion would be to have an earlier start for breakfast during the week. Will be seeing you folks again soon." - DA
"As always, very good. Rina is tops!" - JM
12 March 2015

A special thanks to Lisa Furkins-Martin and Jane Payne Tilley for all of their hard work and a super big thank you to Lisa for taking over the event solely when Jane's son became very sick. (Praise God he is now home and recovering.) I have such great memories of high school. This event was such a success that the 79 class is thinking of having the same format. I hope Lisa will help them with the planning. She has such a gift.
Here are a couple of pictures.

Google to provide SEO services to AOL?
John Battelle's post on the Google-AOL deal contains a very interesting snippet in the updates:
Tags: Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Google & AOL
....Google will also provide technical assistance so AOL can create Web pages that will appear more prominently in the search results list. But this assistance will not change computer formulas that determine the order in which pages are listed in Google's search results.To do a SEO job like this one I'd even ask Google for employment. Seriously, Google should hire professional SEOs for this task.

The poet is a collector of small things who says Here,
and holds out her hand with something found on a walk.
It's a leaf that could be a flame it's so red,
or a piece of wood that looks like a face.
The poet picks from the dirt to find what's lost and forgotten,
gives homes to strays, preserves the dead and the living.

Many items around your house can be defined as hazardous waste. Hazardous waste can be a liquid, a solid, or a gas and contain materials that can be damaging to the environment or human health. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) encourages you to reduce your purchase of products that contain hazardous chemicals, and to recycle items like paint and motor oil when possible. Disposal regulations vary by community, but there are some basic rules that everyone should follow before throwing out chemical waste.
Things You'll Need
- Garbage bags
- Sawdust, cat litter or similar absorbent material
- Rags
- Newspaper
Video of the Day
Read product labels on any item that may contain hazardous chemicals. Some products contain specific instructions for safe disposal. Follow the instructions for disposal if they are provided. If you are trying to determine if an item is hazardous, look for clues on the label. Flammable products, warnings to wear gloves or warnings to use in well-ventilated rooms are all indications that the item contains one or more hazardous chemicals.
Use an absorbent material such as sawdust, cat litter or paper towels to solidify any liquid chemical waste. Sweep up the material once solidified, if necessary, then put the solidified waste into a garbage bag and seal it. Dispose with other household waste.
Open any cans of latex paint you wish to throw out. Leave the paint can open in a well-ventilated area until it solidifies. Wrap the paint can and the solidified contents in a few layers of newspaper, then place in a garbage bag. Dispose with other household waste.
Empty the contents of aerosol containers containing hazardous waste. Turn the can upside down and spray into an old rag, paper towels or other similar material. Wrap the empty can in a few layers of newspaper and dispose with other household waste. Allow the towels or rags to dry and put them in a sealed garbage bag to be disposed of with other household waste.
Empty chemicals designed for cleaning tubs, showers, sinks or toilets down the drain. Slowly pour the material into the sink or tub with the water running. Leave the water running and rinse out the container. Leave the water on until all traces of the chemical are gone from the sink or tub. Let the empty container air dry, then wrap it in a few layers of newspaper and dispose with other household waste.
Contact your local waste management authority for specific instructions on where to dispose of other hazardous materials such as automobile batteries, pesticides, oil paints and oil. Many communities have special collection days to pick up items that cannot be thrown out with regular household waste.

Hi I'm trying to remove borders around the individual fields so that i can create a look of the form being split into sections. I have tried a fee different option of CSS, b cant seem to get it.
- JanAnswered on September 27, 2016 at 11:02 AM
Those lines are the background color of the form container. We can change the background color to light gray so that it'll look the same as the other fields. Please try inserting this custom CSS code:
.supernova .form-all, .form-all {
background-color: #cccccc !important;
Here's a guide on How-to-Inject-Custom-CSS-Codes.
Hope that helps. Thank you.
- brendonlAnswered on September 28, 2016 at 09:37 AM
Hi Jan,
Thanks for the response. Except this solution changes the entire form to one colour. What I'm trying to achieve is to have sections of the form shaded different colours. There by emphasizing a group of information to be filled out.
- JanAnswered on September 28, 2016 at 11:04 AM
The CSS code I provided above will remove all other colors in the form container. If you want to assign a different color on a field, then you can get the selector id of the field and apply CSS into it.
In Google Chrome, you just need to right click the field and choose "Inspect". The developer tools will appear and you'll see the assigned id (id_15) to the "Job Title" field. You can now target this element using this code:
#id_15 { background-color: green !important; }
Here's the result:
Here's a guide on How-to-Inject-Custom-CSS-Codes. We can help you in regards to CSS. You just need to provide the field that you want to change and your preferred color.
Hope that helps. Thank you.
- brendonlAnswered on September 29, 2016 at 09:17 AM
Hi Jan,
That's not going to help either see the effect below. So say I want to group the 3 green fields together (Full name, Job title, Email) and the next 5 fields RED. I will still have what looks like borders. In this case either green with red borders or red with green borders.
I'd like the form fields grouped in sections with the use of colour, but cant'd do that if I'm unable to remove/colour the space around an individual field
- brendonlAnswered on September 29, 2016 at 09:20 AM
Hi Jan I figured it out thanks for all your help
- JanAnswered on September 29, 2016 at 11:04 AM
Glad to hear that you figured it out. If you need any help, don't hesitate to contact us. Thank you.

Question of the Day
A 55 y/o M with h/o of CKD 4 due to diabetic nephropathy has been on tri-weekly EPO for the last 6 weeks for anemia of CKD is found to still have a hemoglobin of 9.2. He denies any obvious bleeding but reports being hospitalized twice in the last 3 months for diabetic ulcers and IV antibiotics for osteomyelitis of the R foot. His MCV is 87. Retic count 0.9%, ferritin 510, Tsat 30%, Platlets 250K, WBC 9.9. Folate, B12, Carnitine, and peripheral smear are all within normal limits. What is the cause of his decreased response to ESA (erythopoetin stimulating agents)?
A.) The primary cause is overt iron deficiency.
B.) Hif1-alpha deficiency due chronic inflammation due to osteomyletitis.
C.) Carnitine deficiency
D.) Increased hepcidin secondary to chronic inflammation due to osteomyletitis.
Hepcidin, a mediator of iron metabolism, has increased release in inflammation and blocks iron absorption from the gut and promotes iron sequestration in macrophages. It does this by down-regulating ferroportin iron transporter in GI tract (enterocyte) decreasing reabsoprtion and decreasing transport out of macrophages.

I took a tour of one of the most densely Bangladeshi populated corners of London. It ranged from the back alley of East London Mosque to all the way to Shadwell. Not surprisingly there was plenty of road signs to take snaps. In fact they are so many that if I take them all then I guess even Flickr will overload :). Still I took whatever I could do in half hour. Here they comes!
Here's excellent example of butterfly effect. Nazrul finished his life with his undying love of 'Ogo bideshini'. Here it goes in foreign land a proper school in his name.
Here's a closer look into the matter. The fact though where we go we really have to mess things up! Damn it!
This is one of the demonstration of older businesses who opted back in the days to make use of Bengali to lure some local crowd through the door. Even when Bengali typefaces wasn't readily available. So hand come handy :)
A long shot to the chapel pharmacy.
"Carom Board and Mura pawa jay"
Here's demonstration of the newer trend. A very well organized full fledged business which has brought back powerful brand name from Bangladesh. Banoful is a very popular sweet franchise all over Bangladesh and they used their exposure to open up a business in London. Hope it does good against Ambala
Real sweets inside ! Yummy!
Ball games are not really welcomed around the streets of London. If you wanna play ball go in a cage and have a death match! But don't smash our windows! the're too precious.

I finally caved and saw the new terminator movie and, to my horror, was not entirely unhappy with it.
Don't for a second think that this means that it's a good movie; because its horrible. But then I was expecting as much, so sitting back and watching the (rather beautiful) post-apocalyptic scenery go by and wondering about the state of CGI-Arnie's package (did it get blown off? Or was he just given the ken doll treatment?) became simply part of the show. Which brings me to the real topic of this post.
The one thing I have always wondered about when watching robot-oriented sci fi, is the design of the robots themselves. What would a real terminator look like? I've ruminated about this before in regards to Anime, but the topic still needs to be properly explored. Because, when we finally do come up with a truly autonomous killing machine, I predict that it will look and act nothing like a humanoid robot. Why recreate the wheel when you could make something smaller, tougher, faster and meaner than a person?
I'm thinking something almost insectile, with super-human reflexes and a chassis small enough to crawl anywhere. It need not be that smart, about the same level as a jumping spider would be more than sufficient. All it needs to be is mobile, tough and clever enough to recognise and track a person.
What do you think?

Wire & Bead Inspiration where I've collected images from some of the most amazing wire artists. Another fave is my board called Origami Paper Arts which contains not only gorgeous origami art works, but also many free patterns for creating your own origami flowers, birds, butterflies and ... gift boxes! That's right, every wire artist who intends to sell their pieces is faced with 'how to package' them, without it costing a fortune. Creating your own gift box from recycled household items and simple papers is a fantastic idea and there are links to many DIY tutorials on that board. Another great board to visit is called Jewelry Patterns & Tutorials, where I've collected links and images to many outstanding free wire tutorials. I hope you have time to check them out.
From Pinterest, I tried these two wonderful DIY projects this weekend and had a great time of it. The wire jewelry tree is quite easy to do and not only looks great, but also makes for a fun place to hang your pretties. I used Wrap IT craft wire which is very inexpensive and the whole thing took about 40 minutes to complete.
Click the images to enlarge them.
Enjoy the inspiration and have a beautifully creative day!

Marketing and Monsanto
Case Summary:
Monsanto Co. is an innovative biotechnology company that is currently the world's largest seed company. Since its inception in 1901, Monsanto has continually reinvented itself to realize growth opportunities in a wide spectrum of marketing environments. In 1981, a shift in strategic focus towards biotechnology has propelled the company to $11.7 billion in annual sales with over 20,000 people in 160 countries. As the world faces a growing population and declining natural resources, Monsanto's technological innovations with genetically modified seeds have increased crop yields around the world. Although the company has enjoyed significant growth in recent years, concerns over the safety and environmental impact of its product continually present a challenge to long-term success.
Key Marketing Issues:
Market Opportunity- A combination of circumstances and timing that permits an organization to take action to reach a particular target market. Over the course of history, Monsanto has transformed from an industrial chemical producer during World War I, to the global leader in the seed industry at a time when the world faces declining food supplies for a growing population.
Stakeholders- Constituents who have a stake or claim, some aspect of the company's products, operations, markets, industry and outcomes. Farmers, governments, and non-profits are one of many stakeholders in the company.
Relationship Marketing- Establishing long-term, mutually satisfying buyer-seller relationships. With farmer's being the primary stakeholder, Monsanto uses technology such as the corn chipper to gain their support.
Customer-Centric Marketing- Developing collaborative relationships with customers based on focusing on their individual needs and concerns. Monsanto develops genetically modified seeds to meet the various demands of farmers around the world facing problems ranging from drought to invasive insects.
Green Marketing- A strategic process involving stakeholder assessment to create meaningful long-term relationships with customers while maintaining, supporting and enhancing the natural environment. One of Monsanto's commitments is to conserve more resources through sustainable agricultural initiatives.
Performance Standard- An expected level of performance against which actual performance can be compared. Monsanto hopes to increase corn yields from the current amount of 150 bushels per acre to 300 bushels per acre by 2030.
Target Market- The group of customers on which marketing efforts are focused. Monsanto targets some products such as Roundup to retailers while marketing others to large agricultural corporations or governments.
Core Competencies- Things a company does extremely well, which sometimes gives it an advantage over its competition. In 2003, a new corporate strategy was developed to address the company's core competencies.
Marketing Orientation- An organization wide commitment to researching and responding to customers' needs. Monsanto spends $1 billion annually on research and development
Personal Case Analysis:
I've learned that Monsanto continually adapts to capitalize on marketing opportunities. Its core competencies in genetically modified seeds have allowed Monsanto to become a global leader in the seed industry. Initiatives involving non-profits are in place to improve the lives of farmers through agricultural education and sustainable practices. Although Monsanto's innovative technology has increased crop yields, harsh resistance has been shown towards their products in Europe and in some cases Africa. In 2002, during one of Zambia's worst famines, Monsanto's donated corn was rejected by the population out of fear it contained genetically modified seeds. The increasing popularity of organic farming is also threatening the growth of Monsanto's genetically modified products...

One of the best things about seeing well-established Racine, WI dentists for your regular teeth cleanings and exams is that you can often avoid painful dental health issues.
But what if you're already in pain? It's not too late to become a patient of Dr. Reesman and Dr. Kemper. They can help you get your smile back to health with restorative dentistry.
Tooth Fillings, Dental Crowns, And Root Canals For Damaged Teeth
A tooth filling is the best way to fix a small amount of tooth decay. Our doctors will clear away the decay and replace the missing portion of your tooth with a dental filling. Choose any of our ADA-approved materials:
- Tooth-colored resin
- Porcelain
- Ceramic
If your tooth decay is moderate, we can seal your tooth after treatment with a dental crown. We even do gold crowns. A tooth that's beyond the treatment of a filling or a crown alone can still be saved with a root canal. Our doctors can free your tooth of the infection that's causing you pain.
Your Tooth Replacement Options
You can replace missing teeth with dental implants. Dental implants bond with your jawbone for a nice, strong hold. Another choice you have is a dental bridge. Dental bridges use your natural teeth to hold your new replacement teeth in place. Dentures are also an option at North Bay Dental.
Dental Veneers For Flawed Smile Fast Fix
If you don't have time for braces or ongoing teeth whitening treatments, we can straighten your teeth, whiten them, and fix many other flaws with dental veneers. We have several styles of healthy, natural-looking dental veneers that our doctors can apply to your teeth to upgrade your smile.

Apr 19 2018 - Invitation to Attend ANB Semi-Annual General Meeting
All club representatives, athletes, coaches, administrators, and interested parties are invited to join staff and board members at ANB's SAGM, which this year, will focus on discussions, ideas, and possible initiatives to implement in our next 2019-23 Strategic Plan, as well as our ANB Wall of Fame. Regular set of financials, staff and committee reports will also be remitted and be opened to questions and discussion. The SAGM is set to take place at the CEPS Building of the Université de Moncton campus on April 29th from 1:00pm - 3:30pm.
In preparation of the Strategic Plan review session, we wish to invite all members of the Athletics community to write to us ahead of your ideas/thoughts regarding the following:
- What do you believe should be the two primary priorities for ANB in its next strategic plan?
Please send your comments by email to firstname.lastname@example.com
Background Information – Progress Review Regarding ANB's 2014-2018 Strategic Plan
The progress made over the past 4 years has largely been in 1) attracting large numbers of U13 youth to try the sport under our RJTW initiatives, 2) increasing our competition offering all the while 3) ensuring quality competitions. Over that period we have also increased our services with the addition of a full staff position. Various metrics also confirms that we continue to build a strong group of Elite athletes all the while broadening the talent base at the youth level (13-18). Our University programs at both UNB and U. de Moncton also continue to grow in terms of quality, participation and performances, which in turn, is providing attractive options for youth to pursue post-secondary studies in New Brunswick.
We have struggled in other objectives in particular at attracting more coaches and officials to the sport. Through the summer program hiring (up to 7 per summer season) we have been able to meet demand for now. Clubs meanwhile are constrained by the lack of new coaches as well as basic facilities in a number of regions. This lack of resources is a concern especially when one considers the influx of U13 youth who are being attracted to the sport and will be looking for a support base to continue.

About Us

There are few processes in human life that are more fascinating to explore than the expansion of ideas and concepts over time as a result of research and brainstorming. We are gifted as animals with the innate ability to recognize the patterns that exist around us and it's refreshing to witness this process occur, especially from a first-person perspective.
Since initiating an academic exploration into our current networked social movements only ten days ago, many ideas have bloomed and evolved, including a wide range of theories, research plans, and expectations of what will be found. I have been collecting a plethora of academic research which will be useful for analyzing the current mobilizations for social and economic justice in America, including frame alignment processes studied by Snow, Benford, and other colleagues, the networked theory of power presented in "Communication Power", and "Networks of Hope and Outrage" by Manuel Castells, the resource mobilization perspective popularized by Gamson in "The Strategy of Social Protest", and the theory of networked publics formulated in the research of danah boyd. While resource mobilization theory and frame alignment provide two completely different methods for studying the processes of new social movements, their interrelations must be understood for better analyzing how offline and online action coexist to build movements like 15 Now in Seattle.
How these sources will be used in the context of my exploration hasn't yet been precisely pinpointed at this early stage, but these diverse theoretical frameworks certainly provide a backdrop for my research, which strives to combine ethnographic data from protests in urban space, interviews with activists about the relationship between their online and offline action, and a content analysis of news articles, tweets, and other digital content. My goal is to provide insight on two specific processes of social movements: mobilization and radicalization. While these loaded terms have undoubtedly been recoded through wide academic usage, I wish to provide a simple, basic operationalization:
Mobilization refers to the process in which members are recruited and messages are spread to potential nodes through online and offline network diffusion.
Radicalization refers to the process of solidifying the connections between nodes in the activist network, strengthening their beliefs while reinforcing a feeling of a communal identity, as well as the need for both offline and online participation to accomplish goals.
These processes are mutually inclusive, as there are many actions and events which contribute to both mobilization and radicalization, depending on the network position of the nodes involved. For instance, a tweet which shares a picture from 15 Now's Martin Luther King day march, marked with the #MLKDay hashtag, might radicalize members of the movement network, as the picture is evidence which reinforces their belief that others share their views and will take action on behalf of the goal, thus motivating activists viewing the image to become involved in their own actions, or more strongly support other events, even if outside the Seattle area. Meanwhile, if the content reaches non-activist networks, those members might view the images as proof that the fight for $15 per hour is supported by members of the public and is urgent enough to facilitate participation and action in physical urban space. Thus, the tweet could mobilize them to join or support the movement in either online or offline public spheres.
One method which will provide insight into how Seattle's fight for a $15 minimum wage traversed social networks to grow and achieve victory in local governmental reform, is to study the movement's growth on Twitter, starting from #OccupySeattle in 2011, strengthening during the #FightFor15, which included the #829Strike, #FastFoodGlobal, and other mass protests which aimed to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour, and culminating with the city council victory of Socialist Alternative member Kshama Sawant and #15Now, her organization which fought for change in Seattle and is now spreading across the country as we speak. What can we learn from analyzing the evolution of the movement in the context of this horizontal, multimodal medium, and how do these processes link to other online action on blogs, and petitions, as well as offline action in street protests, rallies, public forums, and debates?
I have collected, analyzed, and coded a fairly large amount of Twitter data within these last ten days. Here is a snapshot of the digital artifacts which I have collected in this short time period:
- All tweets posted by 15 Now and Socialist Alternative groups throughout the country, and Kshama Sawant.
- The #OccupySeattle Top Tweet history since 2011
- the #FastFoodGlobal, #829Strike, and #WalmartStrike full tweet histories from the day of the coordinated actions as well as a few days before and after the events took place.
- #15Now Top Tweets in Dec 2013 – May 2014, which is the full length of hashtag usage for Seattle's cause.
- "#FightFor15 seattle" Top Tweets for June 2013 – May 2014, which is the full length of hashtag usage, as the #FightFor15 is a newer movement.
While this is certainly an adequate starting point for my exploration, there are a few further datasets which would be useful to include:
- #FastFoodForward and #FightFor15 Top Tweet histories for period of the movement, these would provide deeper context of how Twitter is used by the larger movement outside Seattle.
- #15Now full tweet histories, to compare to Top Tweet history and determine how dynamics change between Top Tweet and full tweet histories.
- Twitter content of other Seattle city council members and politicians, which provides a snapshot of how they use Twitter themselves, either similarly or different than Kshama Sawant.
So far, a minor analysis of the #15Now and "#FightFor15 Seattle" datasets have been performed, which is comprised of a list of all twitter participants (nodes), their presence (mentions and retweets), and their range of participation. As the exploration goes deeper, I expect to separate the presence data into their respective categories to gain further insight. Additionally, there is a list of all hashtags used and their frequency, number of links, and whether they are negative, positive, or neutral. As I dig deeper, I expect this codification to become more complex, and will track how these codewords change meaning depending on their usage.
Some questions to keep in mind are:
Who is most involved in using a particular hashtag? How does this mirror or contradict offline social organization?
How can we characterize different types of tweets in contributing to the movement? Do they help mobilize, radicalize, or contribute to both processes? Is it even necessary to delineate between mobilization and radicalization?
What types of people and organizations are participating? How do the contextual meanings of their tweets differ depending on the role they play in the greater movement?
How are offline events covered by social media participants? What is the interplay between hierarchal broadcast mass media and horizontal multicast citizen media?
How do retweeting and hashtag combinations, like using #FightFor15 and #FastFoodForward in a message which features #15Now, help mobilize the movement as well as facilitate solidarity among geographically dispersed mobilizations with a common goal?
These are only a few of the questions which are bouncing around my mind as I continue to dig deeper into contemporary social action.
In my next post, I will outline my expectations and hypothesis regarding what shining the spotlight on Twitter will uncover. Stay tuned and please send all feedback and suggestions to firstname.lastname@example.com

How To Remove Carpet
American Turf and Carpet has been putting in commercial and occasion carpet and turf for over 17 years. When added up this might mean that a set-price set up of $5 per yard is definitely round $18 per square yard, or extra! One of the best methods to determine that is to easily tug on among the fibers in the heart of the damaged area and see if they are easily pulling out of the carpet. Sprouting refers to small tufts or loops of carpet that turn out to be visible after the set up.
We also scrounged free of charge supplies from time to time, together with the mulch, some of the tile, hardware and even tools. We found a product by Jasco called Premium Paint and epoxy remover from Lowes or HDepot. And above all remember to get a mud masks for your self specifically when you have dust allergy as a result of whatever you do there shall be a variety of dust under your carpet. A great idea if potential is ready for a source with a sale or special in place for installation and or provides. Sometimes you just need somebody to hear), the installation firm has been a nightmare to work with.
The vendor should cost gross sales tax on the sale and installation of the carpet and the seller must pay gross sales or use tax on the materials bought for the set up of the other forms of ground coverings. We had all types of carpet points after we constructed our house (seems the carpet was defective) so the fooring firm came in and changed all of it for us. They had been variety sufficient to order far more than they wanted and left us with enough carpet to finish the basement bed room and household room! We received this Square Industrial Sander from Home Depot for a $sixty five rental charge for twenty-four hours.
Then tighten the carpet, tucking it into the crotch with a knee kicker as proven in the video, stretching the carpet on the heart of the tread and hooking it on the tack strip. Home Depot is at all times somebody to match costs, however one factor Home Depot has to supply, and is a quality service, communication and customer support of a flooring protecting retailer.
Our warehouse-direct pricing ensures that you'll at all times get the perfect deals in your new carpet. Using a conventional kicker on the steps is a little more troublesome that using it on a flat floor, so this shows the usage of an air energy stair carpet kicker, which seems to be a lot easier to make use of. Check page 10 of the Standard for Installation of Residential Carpet, CRI a hundred and five for specifics, as well as along with your retailer!

Support HT's #AntiTrollingDay: Sign this petition, change your DP
Here is what you can do to curb trolling and abuse on social media.india Updated: Apr 26, 2017 15:59 IST
Since last week, Hindustan Times, has been running Let's Talk About Trolls, a sustained campaign against online abuse and threats. The campaign, which featured women in the public eye writing about their brush with vicious trolling, received support and response from our readers.
But it is not enough to merely talk about trolls. We need to reclaim the democratic space of social media from the army of organised trolls that have taken over. And this is why we are marking April 26 as #AntiTrollingDay.
Here is what you can do to curb abusive trolling:
Abusive trolls often hide behind a cloak of anonymity. But Twitter and Facebook have mechanisms in place to block, report and mute a person who is engaging in targeted harassment.
This is how you can report a troll:
Also check out this Twitter Safety guide by SheSays India, an initiative to end gender-based discrimination.

"You need to be raped …"
"I'll throw acid on your face"
"I'll make sure you never sing again".
These are just some of the threats that have been hurled at playback singer Chinmayi on Twitter. She has faced extreme online abuse but has refused to take it lying down. She was one of the first women who stood up to online abuse, reported it to the police and got three of her trolls arrested. That was in 2012. But that did not stop the abuse. It continues till today.
Chinmayi started a petition on Change.org asking Twitter to shut down all Twitter handles that tweet rape threats at women for simply voicing their opinion. She is attempting to build a movement of men and women who will say No to online abuse.
Chinmayi says, "The situation today is getting more vicious for women. I have continued to get rape threats if people disagree with my views. I am deeply disturbed by the unrelenting use of terms such as rape or gang rape or acid attack on Twitter, to intimidate women for holding a contrarian view. I started this petition on Change.org to get Twitter users to stand up against this abuse and say #RapeThreatsNotOk".

Relevant, Old Paths
By Burk Parsons on Dec 18, 2017
If we are to redirect the current paths of young people, we must begin in the church by taking up the charge to come alongside younger men and women, and teach them the old, ancient values of God's Word.
My dad was fifty-two years old when I was born. When I was thirteen, he asked me if I was embarrassed that he was so much older than my friends' dads. I told him I wasn't embarrassed but that I respected him and learned more from him because he was older. He was born a few years after the end of World War I and fought in World War II. He had a newspaper route during the Great Depression, and he told me stories about real cowboys, bank robbers, and his father, who grew up at the turn of the twentieth century in the old West in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri. My dad wasn't just older than my friends' dads, he was from a different era, an era when young men respected old men and when old men raised young men to be men and not just guys. It was a time when older men and older women took seriously the biblical charge to teach and train younger men and women in old values such as integrity, service, loyalty, sacrifice, honor, wisdom, hard work, and humility.
My father's values were old, traditional values. But just because they were old and traditional didn't necessarily make them good. They were good values because they were biblical values, and biblical values are relevant in every generation. But although they are relevant in every generation, they are disappearing from the rising generation. The problem today is not so much that young people have consciously rejected ancient biblical values but that they have not been taught what they are, much less been trained in them. Many teenagers simply do not know the old values that many of us take for granted. For decades now, many parents have turned over to Hollywood the responsibility of teaching values to their children. As a result, many young people have been left to fend for themselves and figure out their own personal sets of values, whether or not those values are biblical or conflict with other people's sets of values. The result is that many young people, in the world and in the church, not only don't know right from almost-right and truth from half-truth, they don't even know right from wrong and truth from falsehood. They have not been taught the old values and they have not been guided down the old paths. Thus, they have had to make new paths, not knowing the old paths of their fathers or the ancient path of the Lord.
These new paths have, in turn, become the path of our culture. Much of society is being overtaken by a youth-driven culture because we have neglected God's call to train up the next generation of young people in the way they should go. If we are to redirect the current paths of young people, we must begin in the church by taking up the charge to come alongside younger men and women, and teach them the old, ancient values of God's Word.

The first goal of Willian's Chelsea career could yet turn out to be the finest. A sumptuous strike, laced with the inside of his left boot, finally subdued a resilient Norwich City as Jose Mourinho's players claimed their maiden away of the season with a devastating late salvo.
For all the elegance of the winner, this was a reprieve for Chelsea. After Oscar's sharp opener had threatened a thrashing, the home side fashioned a path back into this engrossing contest, Anthony Pilkington's equaliser proving a just reward for a period of sustained pressure.
But once Eden Hazard rounded off a lightning counterattack, the stage was left for the £30 million man from São Paulo to apply his memorable flourish.
One could quibble that Alex Tettey ought to have been more alert with his attempted clearance as Hazard bore down on goal, or that John Ruddy ought to have saved the Belgian's low shot, but ultimately Mourinho executed a masterstroke as his two substitutes combined to deliver the two decisive goals.
The victory could not have made the happiest viewing for England manager Roy Hodgson, with his squad due to assemble at St George's Park on Monday, as Ashley Cole had to leave the pitch with a suspected rib injury.
But the zeal with which a certain Portuguese gentleman celebrated here left no doubt as to how much this victory meant to Mourinho.
He could be forgiven for having expected a more restful afternoon, after Oscar's fourth-minute breakthrough.
All it required was a straightforward ball over the top to Demba Ba, who controlled it with the neatest of touches to tee up the onrushing Oscar, who placed his shot comfortably beyond Ruddy and into the far corner.
Gradually Tettey and Leroy Fer began to carve out greater possession, and Petr Cech needed the quickest of reactions to tip Jonny Howson's snap shot over the bar.
Ba miscued a chance early in the second half to drag his shot fractionally wide, and Mourinho's body language on the touchline suggested he detected danger.
He was right, as Norwich pounced for their equaliser. Martin Olsson hared down the left to supply a fine cross for Van Wolfswinkel, who rose at the far post to head back across goal for Pilkington to nudge the ball past Cech.
Pilkington was culpable, however, in the unravelling that ensued. His poorly-taken corner was the cue for Chelsea to hit back with interest, David Luiz and Willian combining beautifully for Hazard to apply the coup de grace.
If that unsettled Norwich, then Willian's goal, the most delightful curler from 20 yards out, poleaxed them to extinguish any hope of recovery.
