Organic Broccoli Organic Wholesale ProduceV
Hailing from the brassica family, broccoli is a green, stem-like vegetable with dark coloured buds sprouting from a pale central branch. Equally popular is the purple sprouting variety distinguished by its thinner, less compact stems. Full of vitamin C and fibre, it is used as an accompaniment to many baked and roasted dishes as well as a more central ingredient within Asian stir-fries.

TWO 16-year-old boys are in hospital after a police chase involving an unregistered off-road motorcycle yesterday morning.
Police spotted the bike being ridden by two people on Northwood Drive, Mirrabooka, at 9.50am on Thursday morning.
Officers lost sight of the bike after it failed to stop, before the Police Air Wing helicopter found it again in the Koondoola area.
Police claim the bike failed to stop again before they lost sight of it for a second time.
The helicopter continued to track the bike through multiple suburbs until it collided with a caravan being towed in Parkwood.
Officers on the ground gave first aid to a 16-year-old boy, who was transferred to Royal Perth Hospital with head injuries.
A second 16-year-old boy had left the scene, but when he was found by police at a house in Parkwood was taken to hospital for treatment for an arm injury.

The Super Duty Fans were born out of necessity. Phil & Kelly Eggers live on a ranch in North Texas where it gets really hot in the summer. Their ranch buildings, and a hangar building, became unbearable in July and August, and they searched everywhere for a fan that would move the air to make it tolerable. They found plenty of imported pretty fans that moved no substantial air, and plenty of huge fans for thousands of dollars, but nothing that made affordable sense. So Phil decided that if you want it done right you do it yourself.
Starting with a clean sheet idea, the mandatory criteria included fan qualities like easy to install, huge air movement, minimal noise level, airflow pattern, longevity, and affordability, to name a few. The design journey included domestic and international consultants, meetings with motor manufacturers, multinational suppliers, and local machine shops and parts suppliers. Customers were consulted to determine their needs and requirements. The result of this journey is what you now see in the Super Duty Fans.
Now, the Super Duty Fans fill the void for various areas which need serious cooling with an awesome fan built for the job. Phil & Kelly now have the perfect fan for each of their horse stalls with the SD3X model. The barn has the perfect fan in the center aisle with the SD5X model. Both the machine shed and the hangar have our most powerful model, the SD5XL. So, with their personal fan needs taken care of, they wish to share this truly new fan with others needing the same type of cooling.
Phil & Kelly own Euclid Design Group LLC and manage the daily operations of this rapidly growing company. Kelly is in charge of operations and sales, while Phil does the design work and deals with patents and trademarks and other exciting things. Neither of them grew up dreaming of the fan business, but they did dream of being entrepreneurs and living the American Dream. They discovered fans together and have committed themselves, and their nest egg, to building this premier fan company. Both came from highly successful corporate careers and now implement their knowledge to provide a wonderful product and service experience for their customers.

Angela Sunde, anthology, inspiration, Jann Webb, Karen Williams, literature, local council, Marianne de Pierres, motivation, Peter Matheson, Redland City Council, Redlands, Redlitzer, Redlitzer Award 2013, Rowena Cory Daniells, short story, writing
Last Saturday I traveled to Redlands, just south of Brisbane to attend the Redlitzer Awards where local writers were presented with trophies and certificates by the Mayor, and saw their winning short stories published into anthologies. I was involved as a judge, selecting the winning stories, along with authors Rowena Cory Daniells, Marianne de Pierres, Angela Sunde and Peter Matheson. Two anthologies of winning short stories were launched (ten adult and ten teen stories in one anthology, and ten Junior in a larger 'picture book' style anthology), and that night thirty first-time published authors did a mass book signing!
I have to say I was really impressed with the way Redland City Council and their libraries handled the evening. Unlike other awards ceremonies where children are involved, there were no lollies on the tables, and no patronising cuteness. The Junior Redlands writers (now published authors) were treated to a very adult function with beautiful floral arrangements, lots of bling in the silver, black and white color scheme, and formal attire for the evening. I could see their parents were impressed, as were the parents of the teen writers, and I couldn't help thinking that the formal celebration of their success would make these children's aspirations seem more real, more professional, and more achievable.
I remember distinctly what it was like as a child and then a teen who knew she wanted to be a writer but wasn't sure how to go about it. I wanted to be taken seriously, and for those around me to understand that this was a passion and a calling, and that there was money to be made despite all the 'starving in a garret' stereotypes. I didn't want to be ridiculed or have my dreams diminished. Instead I wanted writing and reading to be celebrated, to be encouraged, and to be valued. At the Redlitzer Awards last Saturday night I saw that in spades. The detail and expense in preparing the venue (Victoria Point Library) was impressive, and the fact that the Mayor and two of her councilors attended, and stayed all night, spoke volumes about their commitment to the arts. You won't believe the number of functions I go to where politicians turn up for photos and then leave. I was also impressed with the respect and encouragement the young (and not so young) writers received at the presentations and at the signing tables. I'm betting that for the first time in their lives, those thirty writers felt like authors, and that's such a motivating factor.
Writing is a mostly solitary profession, and it's often difficult to be objective about your writing and to value your own talent. Yet somehow we're expected to be our own cheer squad, to pick ourselves up when we get rejected, dust ourselves off, remind ourselves that we can do this writing thing, and get back at the keyboard. A little inspiration can go a long way towards motivating us to keep at it, and I'm thrilled that at least one local council in Australia takes literary endeavor seriously and puts time and dollars into encouraging local writers.
Big thank you to Jann Webb at Redlands Libraries who I've worked with for the last five years helping tailor their writing program to meet the needs of local writers. Her vision of what can be is inspiring, and her ability to create miracles within a limited budget continues to astound me. In the time she's been at the helm, three local writers who've attended Redlitzer writing workshops have become published novelists:
We all know it's a long haul from ideas, to drafting a whole novel, editing it and then having the wherewithal to submit, be rejected and submit again. I can't thank Redlands, and Jann, enough for sticking with their local writers, encouraging, teaching, inspiring and then celebrating their successes. To say there should be more of it is an understatement. Other local councils please take note! If you want your unique culture and your stories to be remembered and shared, this is how you do it. And for anyone who wants to encourage Redlands to keep on with their writing program, feel free to email the Mayor here (her email details are on this page) with some well deserved praise for Jann and her team. Cheers!

Historical Perspectives of Abnormal Psychology
Historical Perspectives of Abnormal PsychologyKorinne Spencer Psy 410
Linda Porcaro
University Of Phoenix
Historical Perspectives of Abnormal PsychologyAbnormal psychology has never been simple to define due to the many challenges. From the origins of abnormal psychology, scientific discipline, and theoretical models related to abnormal psychology there are many areas that need to be taken in consideration when examining the field of abnormal psychology. Abnormal psychology which is known as psychopathology, is the subfield of psychology devoted to the study of mental disorders (Hansell, 2008). Due to abnormal psychology being able to be a vast majority of many different illnesses, it is unable to be defined solely with one definition. Abnormal psychology has also changed numerous times over the 100 years it has been in existence, which explains why there are challenges in defining and classifying normal and abnormal psychology. In order to properly define and classify abnormal psychology one must know what the core concepts of Abnormal psychology are, and the criteria in classifying it as well. The core concepts of abnormal psychology are to understand the importance of the context in defining what is abnormal. Generally the circumstances surrounding the behavior of an individual helps to identify what behavior would be normal or abnormal, the context in which it occurs such as gender, age, class, or culture. The Continuum between the normal and abnormal psychology help us to understand the appropriateness of an attitude, or emotion, what is normal or exaggerated. These concepts make it challenging to classify an individual as mentally if it is normal for that specific gender, age, or culture. Cultural and historical relativism makes it challenging, because what may be considered abnormal to one culture could be completely normal within another. These are important factors that cannot be ignored, and play major roles in defining and classifying...

At Your Service
It is no coincidence that services lie at the heart of companies based around open source:
In 2006, the share of the service sector in the global employment progressed from 39.5 per cent to 40 per cent and, for the first time, overtook the share of agriculture that decreased from 39.7 per cent to 38.7 per cent. The industry sector represented 21.3 per cent of total employment.

We Have to Talk About Facebook Again. Sigh.
By Melissa Ryan
This week's New York Times article on Facebook was a doozy. More than 50 sources, many of whom are surely under an NDA, spilled lots of tea, airing Facebook's dirty laundry.
It turns out Facebook isn't just a radicalization engine where conspiracy theories about George Soros and the left spread. They're practitioners! The company actively tapped into Soros conspiracies for their own PR purposes when they "employed a Republican opposition-research firm [Definers] to discredit activist protesters, in part by linking them to the liberal financier George Soros. It also tapped its business relationships, lobbying a Jewish civil rights group to cast some criticism of the company as anti-Semitic." Fun fact: said firm runs its own "in-house fake news shop!" The Times followed up with even more details of strategies Definers deployed on Facebook's behalf, including hyperpartisan news aggregation.
The timing on this particular piece of news couldn't be worse, just a few weeks after Soros had a pipe bomb sent to his home — one of many pipe bombs sent to progressive public figures — by a man who had almost certainly been radicalized online. It's maddening that Facebook would allow encouraging these conspiracies as an actual comms plan but I guess if anyone would know what an effective strategy Soros conspiracies can be, it would be Facebook!
Facebook has spent the rest of this week bending over backward to defend itself and as part of that process has thrown Definers under the bus. Basically, deploying the same aggressive PR strategy described in the Times piece. Personally, I don't care about Facebook doing opposition research on Senators they were lobbying. But Soros conspiracy mongering and hyperpartisan news aggregation are unacceptable. As Ben Collins put it in his excellent Twitter thread "Hiring someone to claim your protesters are paid by Soros is just… beyond the pale disgraceful corruption."
HOPE not hate research: Bots, Fake News and the Anti-Muslim Message on Social Media
By Patrik Hermansson
HOPE not hate scrutinized Islamophobic movements and anti-Muslim hatred on social media in November 2017, however in the time since then a series of developments regarding disinformation and hate speech on social media platforms means the topic of online Islamophobia calls for a revisit. Read Patrik Hermanson's report here.
HOPE not Tommy: How we helped stop UK anti-Muslim activist's US trip
British anti-Muslim activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon AKA Tommy Robinson has been receiving a lot of attention outside the UK recently. So much so his right wing friends in the United States invited him to speak twice this month (a trip which we estimated could see Lennon ultimately gain in the region of £1,000,000).
After HOPE not hate ran a campaign to stop his entry to the US, however, Lennon was blocked. Moreover, he told his supporters that the campaign had led to a slump in his donations, telling them: "I don't know how we're gonna continue". Read more about how we helped stop Lennon here.

WASHINGTON: Attempts by yoga opponents in California to twist the ancient Indian practice to present it as religious indoctrination has again been rejected by a US Court.
A three-judge panel of the 4th District Court of Appeal upheld a decision by the San Diego Superior Court that the yoga program in the Encinitas School District is ''devoid of any religious, mystical or spiritual trappings.''
''We conclude that the program is secular... (and) does not have the primary effect of advancing or inhibiting religion, and does not excessively entangle the school district in religion,'' the appeals court said in its ruling on Friday..............click for more

The ranks of Whistlers support service personnel have swelled by 13 with the launch of a peer educator program by Whistler Community Services Society and Mountain Community Health Alternatives.
The new scheme will see 13 trained youth between 19 and 29 years providing help and advice to other local young people, as an extension to work already carried out by Whistler youth outreach worker, Greg McDonnell. The group has been undergoing training since last November in areas such as drug and alcohol awareness, relationships, housing, hunger and healthy sexuality. The training reportedly enables them to advise on certain issues or alternatively re-direct youth to the relevant support service.
McDonnell says the peer support program adds another level of support to Whistlers existing community services. He acknowledges that the towns network of free newspapers and bulletin boards already highlight what services are out there but says reinforcing the message cannot hurt.
"Last summer for example that young guy was found dead in staff housing and who knows what he was going through before that happened," he said. "If we can avoid that kind of situation by educating people and helping people feel connected to the community then hopefully that sort of situation wont arise again."
The body of 28 year old Hitoshi Ono of Tokyo was discovered by Glacier Residence housing staff last summer. His death is believed to be linked to steroid use.
McDonnell says the peer educators will hang out at places where other young people hangout, such as on the mountains, in clubs and local homes. By having an ear to the ground, he hopes people in trouble that might otherwise slip through the system will get the help they need.
McDonnell denies that the extensive help support network in Whistler sets it apart from other communities.
"There are a lot of people in that younger age group here away from home for the first time who dont have much life experience, but if you pick up any Vancouver publication for example, you will see it is full of the same types of help services on offer."
In exchange for a minimum of five hours of volunteer work a week, peer counsellors receive perks such as mountain lift passes, Nesters Market food vouchers and conditional provincial government funding.
The group plans to host two workshops for youth this spring on possible topics such as safe sexuality and summer employment opportunities.

Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn....Rabbie Burns
Re: BUSES, COACHES, & LORRIES.
This AEC was one of 3 buses that Liverpool Corporation acquired in the late 1950s,
with the intention of deciding what would be the choice of vehicles, now that rear
engined larger capacity buses were becoming available, Leyland Atlantean and
Daimler Fleetline. The Atlantean was the preferred choice, and many hundreds of
them were introduced over the next 15 years, despite Liverpool being a major user
of AEC Buses for many years. Ray.
Re: BUSES, COACHES, & LORRIES.
In addition to AEC E1 above, E2 and E3 were the other 2 experimental buses with Liverpool Corporation.
E2 was a Leyland Atlantean, and E3 was a lowheight AEC. This rear entrance AEC was initially an AEC Ltd
demonstrator which Liverpool Corporation eventually bought. All 3 buses are preserved.
Re: BUSES, COACHES, & LORRIES.
Fabulous pictures of old buses, they had so much character and the bodies seemed to so much better built than today's stuff or is that pure nostalgia....however, I always found that truck drivers who also had a pcv were in general terms better, smoother drivers particularly with regards to gear changes/ braking etc..
I have lit the touch paper now, so I'd better run .....
Re: BUSES, COACHES, & LORRIES.
Yes rgc you are absolutely correct that HGV men drove much more smoothly than a small a proportion of PSV drivers especially if the HGV driver had worked on transporting live stock the showing same care to their human cargos. A lot of genuine enthusiastic PSV drivers were excellent men too but there was always a small minority in a bus depot who started their shift with the sole intention of wrecking a semi auto box before their shift was over with very little or no consideration for the passengers especially if their allocated bus was a bit of a dog and they could break it hoping to get a better vehicle to finish their shift. This minority also abused or could not handle manual syncromesh or crash boxes or clutches just bang it through if possible and to hell with the consequences and the same methods appied to braking just full pressure stops no gradual applications. Some fairly recent bus journeys have shown excellent examples of good driving and some the entire opposite.
Cheers, Leyland 600.
Re: BUSES, COACHES, & LORRIES.
Spot on Gerald with regard to the vast difference between service bus drivers. We lived in Bare for 9 years which is a suburb on the edge of Morecambe and Anne and I often used the Stagecoach local Buses to go into either Morecambe or Lancaster and the wide variance of Driver quality was enormous. You can just imagine the comments I used to make to Anne. Sometimes along the lines of " This Driver couldn't drive sheep with a good dog" etc. etc. but some were as smooth as silk and I never failed to pass these Drivers a compliment on our way off the bus much to Anne's embarrassment at times ! But I must say one of the best drivers I came across during this time was a Female driver she was excellent !
I will probably get some stick off certain individuals on the TN site for owning up to using the bus but parking problems and not being able to have a "scoop" or two over lunch or dinner was the main reason we took advantage and used our Bus Passes ! Regards Dennis.
Re: BUSES, COACHES, & LORRIES.
Taking my PSV test in Feb.1956, Guy Arab dd and the inspector by my shoulder through a sliding glass partition, "Now driver, smooth ride is the name of the game, your passengers must not feel your gear changes, nor you pulling up or taking off" it has stayed with me to this day. Couple of weeks ago I did another IAM Mature Driver Assessment. Nae too bad for an auld yin.
Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn....Rabbie Burns
Re: BUSES, COACHES, & LORRIES.
When I got my PSV licence an old driver said to me......."a good driver is one that the passengers never notice, don't throw 'em about on corners and learn how to 'feather' the brakes, (that's what he said), no harsh braking."
Todays bus drivers b loody terrify me, most of em can't spell 'brake fade'
How the hell can a sane driver actually accelerate a double deck bus, full of passengers, down a steep hill and expect it to stop at the bottom ?? Arriva drivers around these parts can.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming - What a ride, where are the wimmin
Re: BUSES, COACHES, & LORRIES.
Hi GOM a certain female Stagecoach driver in these parts certainly expects her crappy brand new Optare Solo to stop after a full flight downhill to a mini roundabout and then foot to the boards once more. New set od brake pads every week I guess !!!
With reference to your Guy Arab training Oily I wonder how some of these young uns would cope ???

A jerky ride in a bus can very easily be down to the vehicle rather than the driver. This will be far more noticeable with a bus than a lorry because by the very nature of the job bus drivers rarely get to drive the same vehicle one day to the next; more often than not changing vehicles mid shift. We all know how supposedly identical vehicles behave differently and how we get used to each one's foibles. I would agree that a good driver can adapt remarkably quickly to a vehicle change, but fierce brakes and snatching clutches can be very difficult to manage smoothly. I'm sure some can recall the Gardner powered LV ERF's attempt to leap out of bed as the clutch was let in on an incline. The planetary gearbox can be just as much a challenge to operate smoothly as a sliding mesh 'box. While a normal gearbox change is in the hands of the driver to time, a semi automatic planetary 'box will almost certainly be controlled either electrically, pneumatically or hydraulically. The first Routemasters to enter service in the 1950s acquired the reputation as 'Jerkmasters' because of the poor quality of the fully automatic gearchange. Move on to more modern vehicles with integrated retarders and individual vehicles can become a real nightmare to drive smoothly. The Scania Metropolitan in London Transport service produced a shocking gearchange because of LT's modifications to the control system. Add in wear and tear and the Volvo Olympian with the Voith DIWA 'box's integrated retarder will suddenly and unpredictably come in with a loud bang and a tremendous jerk at some point as the driver attempts to brake for a stop. The ageing Dennis Dart, just like the Metropolitan will not be able to make up its mind which gear it wants to be in as it climbs an incline when revs increase, resulting in loud bangs and jerks - all beyond the driver's control.
Re: BUSES, COACHES, & LORRIES.
An old caravanning friend was a bus driver for 'an east midlands corporation' and they were told to never brake harshly or swerve suddenly to avoid an incident if passenger safety was likely to be compromised which is how when he was driving his bus the city mayor's car ended up missing its drivers door when the chauffeur threw it open in his path!
Foden Forever!
Re: BUSES, COACHES, & LORRIES.
About 300 years ago- well, it seems like that sometimes!- my Bristol Omnibus tutor told me, "The paramount concern for every PSV driver should be the comfort & safety of his passengers". Stayed with me all these years and is probably why my vehicles always had longer-lasting brakes and clutches than a lot of others. Didn't get any bonus for it, though!
Re: BUSES, COACHES, & LORRIES.
Guy Arab's ?? never mind about the young uns, how would anyone cope with swinging the starting handle on a 6 LW in Dewsbury bus station in the middle of winter ? We had a special rope for the job, get the engine 'ready' two or three sturdy fellas on the rope and a quick swing. Worked most of the time but all too often it was "ring the lazy sods up, tell 'em to get some decent batteries down here and be quick about it"
happy days

Re: BUSES, COACHES, & LORRIES.
Hi Ray, The paint used was manufactured by Williamsons of Ripon I seem to remember under the trademark of Ripcerol. Probably known as Ribble Red or Crimson. The Carlisle painter was a good friend and a great craftsman, he and his labourer mate could prepare and paint a 1500 or 1700 decker inside and out in 4 1/2 days brushed. I had a tin of Williamsons Rossendale Crimson when I repainted my Leyland bodied PD 2/12 RTC 822.

15 Reasons to consider Costa Ballena
From the day that a new coastal highway lifted the veil on Costa Rica's southwestern Pacific coast, the Costa Ballena region's lush beauty has been conjuring up both dreams and realities of life among its secluded beaches, lush rainforest canopy and coastal mountains.
If you're one of a growing number of visitors who are turning their dreams into reality, then here are 15 features to add to the equation when considering buying a home in Costa Rica's beautiful Costa Ballena region:
- With a challenging landscape and an undeveloped region, the most experienced builders have descended upon Costa Ballena to build high quality homes that seamlessly blend into the region's pristine natural beauty.
- Costa Ballena is a narrow stretch where Costa Rica's mountains meet the Pacific Ocean, providing buyers with the best of all lifestyles, from beach proximity, to rainforest living and dramatic mountain vistas.
- Costa Ballena offers Costa Rica's best priced range of condominiums, villas, townhouses and luxury homes, at a fraction of Gold Coast prices further north.
- Costa Rican real estate investments rose by 15-20% annually between 2000 and 2008 and Costa Ballena values are projected to rise rapidly over the next few years.
- Rental income in Costa Rica is high and market demand in the Costa Ballena region currently exceeds supply.
- The Costa Rican legal system protects investors, and real estate laws for foreigners are the same as for Costa Rican nationals. Fee simple ownership allows buyers to own, sell, lease or renovate their properties.
- Costa Rica offers extremely low property tax rates starting at just 0.25%, and rising to only 0.55% for multi-million dollar homes.
- Costa Rica is an economically and politically stable country and is viewed by investors as one of the safest emerging real estate markets.
- The Costa Ballena region gets far fewer visitors than other regions in Costa Rica and has embraced low-impact development excluding large resorts and high-rises.
- Costa Ballena is nestled into the most bio-diverse region of Costa Rica.
- Within close proximity of the U.S., Costa Ballena offers affordable luxury that would cost at least 10 times more along the California coastline.
- Costa Rica is one of the safest countries in Latin America and "Ticos" in the Costa Ballena region are educated, warm and welcoming. The region is also home to a large number of North American baby boomers and retirees.
- Costa Ballena offers a diversity of breathtaking, unpopulated beaches that include whale-watching, surfing and plenty of warm water for bathers.
- Legal residency can be obtained in just a few years, with temporary residency status afforded to those who apply. You can also live in Costa Rica as a non-resident and can remain in the country for up to 90 days at a time.
- The Costa Ballena region offers reliable utility services, high-speed Internet and 3G cellphone service.

I am excited about our new series, "Change Before You Have To" that we are kicking off on Sunday, April 12th. Change is sometimes uncomfortable, but authentic change can bring the life of abundance, passion, and satisfaction you've always hoped for.
We will be using the book by Rob Ketterling with the same title and studying God's Word to see who change is possible.
One of the people we will be studying is King Josiah (found in 2 Kings 22) and the great reforms he made in the nation of Israel. He made radical changes in order to bring the people back to worshipping Jehovah.
What struck me as a side point, was how he got to this point. His grandfather was Manasseh, the most wicked king of Judah. His dad, Ammon, continued the wickedness and was murdered after only two years by his own servants, and Josiah becomes king at only eight years old.
Here is a text describing him:
"Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years. His mother's name was Jedidah daughter of Adaiah; she was from Bozkath. He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD and walked in all the ways of his father David, not turning aside to the right or to the left."
So young and so committed.
It makes me ask some questions: "Who taught him?" and "Where did he get a heart to follow God?" For sure it did not come from dad.
The answer is found in the text - his mom and likely his grandfather on his mother's side, Adaiah. The only thing we have to go on is that Jedidah must have been a godly woman who greatly influenced her son.
My point - All you moms who feel like you are alone in raising your kids, you make a difference. Your names may not get mentioned often in the history books, but the lives you are impacting can change the world, just as Josiah brought about some of the greatest spiritual reforms in all of Judah's history.
Who knows mom, maybe you are raising another Josiah - we could sure use one right now.

In 1926 MATHESON Gas Products became the first company to offer a reliable source of high quality scientific gases and equipment. From the start, MATHESON asserted its leadership by understanding specialty gas applications and providing products specially designed for these applications. Some of MATHESON's more notable accomplishments include the development of the lecture bottle, now used by virtually every major college and university in the world, and the supply of ultra pure gases that served as standards for the first gas chromatographs.
MATHESON's gases also helped forge the most important tool of our era, the integrated circuit. From the early days of the transistor, MATHESON was there providing the arsine and phosphine that made production possible. As transistors gave way to complex semiconductor chips, MATHESON provided the world's first commercially produced silane, an accomplishment that earned the industry's prestigious "SEMMY" Award.
In 1999 MATHESON Gas Products merged with Tri-Gas, Inc., to form Matheson Tri-Gas, Inc. This merger combined the analytical and semiconductor strengths of MATHESON Gas Products with the liquid/bulk and industrial cylinder and equipment capabilities of Tri-Gas. As a member of the Tokyo based Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation (TNSC), MATHESON® is part of the world's fifth largest supplier of gases and gas handling equipment.

Skin diseases are the most common on-the-job illness. Irritant contact dermatitis remains the most common occupational skin disease. It is usually associated with toxic reactions to chemicals used in the workplace. Another area of concern to OSHA is dermal protection associated with sun exposure causing skin cancer.
One of the best ways to protect your 2,800 square inches of skin is to keep it covered up.
General Hazards:
♦ Dermatitis is the name for rashes, itching, swelling and other irritations that develop from exposure to substances.
♦ Sensitization is allergy-like reactions, including rashes, that may be experienced whenever in the vicinity of a chemical following frequent or long exposure.
♦ Skin can be burned by a flame, hot surface, electrical exposure or exposure to a corrosive substance.
♦ Cuts, bruises, and other wounds can let bacteria in to the skin and lead to infections.
Skin protection tips:
♦ Use the least hazardous substance that will do the job.
♦ Keep chemical containers closed when not in use.
♦ Follow MSDS handling instructions.
♦ Bandage any small scrapes or cuts before putting on gloves or protective clothing.
♦ Wash promptly and thoroughly after working with hazardous substances.
♦ Don't clean hands with solvents or industrial detergents.
♦ Apply barrier skin creams and lotions to clean, non-irritated skin before starting job.
♦Washand dry skin thoroughly at the end of work.
♦ Wear sun block when working outside.
First Aid for Skin Problems:
♦ Chemical Exposure. Wash the exposed skin thoroughly with lots of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. If your clothing was exposed to the hazardous substance, try to remove it while wearing gloves.
♦ Minor Burn. Rinse in cold water and put on a sterile bandage.
♦ Skin cut. Wash with soap and water and cover with a sterile bandage.
Routine work can dull alertness and a relaxed attitude can replace the caution that existed when the job was new and interesting. In many jobs the same route is traveled daily over the same roads or the same tasks are repeated with little conscious thought. Without some periodic reawakening to the ever-present hazards, lethargy deepens and the odds of an accident occurring can increase.
Workers may not always recognize the importance of safety training or think of it as unnecessary because they've "been doing it for years." But an important benefit of periodic safety training is the reminder that a danger can exist and the no one is immune to accidents. Therefore, it is important for workers to understand the purpose of the training session, why it will be useful to them, and what can result from not following safety rules and procedures.
The safety training should be organized so that the order in which the material is presented will match the steps that should be taken on the job. Make sure every worker understands the training material; not just that they were present or a test was given. Insist on questions from trainees after a session to tell you what did or didn't sink in. This will let you know what has to be reviewed again. If there's a general lack of understanding of hazards or safety rules and practices, schedule another safety meeting or plan a refresher course for a later date.
Employees should be able to immediately practice and apply new knowledge and skills. If workers don't understand safety training information well enough to use it on the job, the training has not been effective. There should be immediate feedback if workers are doing their job safely or not. Supervisors should watch employees do their jobs and question them, to identify what they do, or don't, know.
Most of these tips are relatively simple and inexpensive solutions, but the safety payoff can be enormous. Remember, training is only effective when workers understand, and use, what they've learned. It takes less than a second to lose the rest of your life.
Protecting Workers from Heat Stress Heat Illness
Exposure to heat can cause illness and death. The most serious heat illness is heat stroke. Other heat illnesses, such as heat exhaustion, heat cramps and heat rash, should also be avoided.
There are precautions your employer should take any time temperatures are high and the job involves physical work.
Risk Factors for Heat Illness
• High temperature and humidity, direct sun exposure, no breeze or wind
• Low liquid intake
• Heavy physical labor
• Waterproof clothing
• No recent exposure to hot workplaces
Symptoms of Heat Exhaustion
• Headache, dizziness, or fainting
• Weakness and wet skin
• Irritability or confusion
• Thirst, nausea, or vomiting
Symptoms of Heat Stroke
• May be confused, unable to think clearly, pass out, collapse, or have seizures (fits)
• May stop sweating
To Prevent Heat Illness, Your Employer Should
• Provide training about the hazards leading to heat stress and how to prevent them.
• Provide a lot of cool water to workers close to the work area. At least one pint of water per hour is needed.
• Schedule frequent rest periods with water breaks in shaded or air conditioned areas.
• Routinely check workers who are at risk of heat stress due to protective clothing and high temperature.
• Consider protective clothing that provides cooling.
How You Can Protect Yourself and Others
• Know signs/symptoms of heat illnesses; monitor yourself; use a buddy system.
• Block out direct sun and other heat sources.
• Drink plenty of fluids. Drink often and BEFORE you are thirsty. Drink water every 15 minutes.
• Avoid beverages containing alcohol or caffeine.
• Wear lightweight, light colored, loose fitting clothes.
What to Do When a Worker is Ill from the Heat
• Call a supervisor for help. If the supervisor is not available, call 911.
• Have someone stay with the worker until help arrives.
• Move the worker to a cooler/shaded area.
• Remove outer clothing.
• Fan and mist the worker with water; apply ice (ice bags or ice towels).
• Provide cool drinking water, if able to drink.
IF THE WORKER IS NOT ALERT or seems confused, this may be a heat stroke. CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY and apply ice as soon as possible.
If you have any questions or concerns, call OSHA at 1-800-321-OSHA (6742).
MATHESON announces the grand opening of a new Gas and Welding Supply Store and Depot in Ft. Myers, FL. This location is part of MATHESON's Southeast Zone with 14 local sites throughout Florida. It is strategically positioned in the Industrial market in a high traffic area with easy access to commercial and residential customers. All MATHESON industrial gases, welding supplies, propane, safety equipment, and tools will be available for sale from this new facility.
"This self-service showroom will provide new and existing customers a great buying experience. This facility will allow us to show our innovative line of gasses and consumables for the metal fabrication industry. We will also showcase our vast safety offering as well as our complete line of medical products," said Ian Freedman, Southeast Zone Vice President, MATHESON.
MATHESON is a single source for industrial, medical, specialty and electronic gases, gas handling equipment, high performance purification systems, engineering and gas management services, and on-site gas generation with a mission to deliver innovative solutions for global customer requirements. MATHESON is the largest subsidiary of the Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation Group, the largest Japanese supplier of industrial gases and one of the five largest suppliers of industrial, specialty, and electronics gases in the world.
Basking Ridge, NJ – June 6, 2012 - MATHESON officially opened its new facility inJoplinMissouri on June 6. The new building replaces the structure lost in a devastating tornado last year.
MATHESON has supplied compressed gases, welding equipment, and related items from its facility onSouth Davis BoulevardinJoplinsince 2002. On Sunday, May 22, 2011, a tornado estimated to be 1.5 miles wide cut a swath through that part of the city. The store was "A total loss, except for our liquid vessels," according to Jeff Lackore, MATHESON Area Retail Manager. The site includes liquid storage for oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and argon.
Remarkably, apart from the Monday after the storm when most of Joplin was closed under a state of emergency, MATHESON never needed to close the Joplin business, not even temporarily. MATHESON's other locations in the region supplied product to customers and lent delivery trucks to theJoplin operation. The debris was cleaned up, and a fence was erected to secure the site. Local operations were restored quickly; initially from the remaining concrete slab, and later from inside a 98 foot tent.
MATHESON, just like many business operations in Joplin, quickly committed to an ambitious rebuilding plan. The new Joplin store opened just two weeks after the one year anniversary of the deadly tornado. MATHESON's South Central Zone Vice President, Daniel Lambert, cut the ribbon to officially open the new store and commented, "The fact that we have a brand new structure up and operating in a year's time is a tribute not only to the MATHESON team in the region, but to all the hard-working people of Joplin. The recovery of this city is amazing."
The new store includes a state-of-the-art retail front end, with 1,400 square feet of sales display and demo space. "That is almost double what we had before, with a better layout," says Lackore. "It's been a pleasure to set up, and we expect that customers will find the new front end easy to navigate, with shelf stock easy to find."
The new front end features a customer convenience center, with vending and some complimentary refreshments. Product displays are colorful and well-lit, with separate spaces set aside for key equipment suppliers. "It's not a typical welding supply store," said Bob Klopnieski, MATHESON Region General Manager.
The new building includes a conference room that MATHESON plans to use for internal meetings, customer meetings, and as a training room.
The Company also took the opportunity to modernize and expand the gas cylinder depot and product inventory stockroom. "The work areas are more spacious and generally a better environment for productivity and safety," says Klopnieski. The filling and cylinder depot areas are scalable, to accommodate future expansion.
Loading docks are covered to allow for weather-protected loading and unloading. The customer loading dock features a hydraulic lift to accommodate virtually any vehicle size and loading height.
Inside the building, a storm shelter will protect employees, customers, and other visitors in the event of a future tornado.
Jeff Lackore noted, "Fortunately, no one from MATHESON was injured in the May 2011 tornado, and as Joplin is a home town community, everyone here knows somebody whose life changed that day. Today, we are celebrating the opening of a new store. However, we'll never forget those for whom this time of year will forever have tragic memories."

Most of you probably have house cleaning responsibilities at home. For some of you, it's a regular weekly chore.
Whatever the case may be, you'll agree that good housekeeping practices are important at home.
However, what we sometimes overlook is that good housekeeping is a key duty on the job, too. The orderly arrangement of work areas is vital to the safety of all workers, regardless of whether they are involved with machines and tools or with appliances and furniture.
It's a fact that approximately 6,000 persons are killed on the job annually in theUnited States, and an estimated 19,500 in home accidents.
Seventeen percent of the on-the-job deaths are caused by falls, many of which result from just plain poor housekeeping practices.
Falls often result from tripping over loose articles such as tools left in aisleways and work areas. Wet spots on the floor, or trash and other articles left in stairways also take their toll.
During periods of rain and snow, you know what happens when you and the kids track water into the house from outside. Tracked-in water is a serious problem at work, too. Wet spots cause slips and falls. They should be cleaned up immediately, regardless of who was responsible for their being there.
We have trash receptacles placed in several strategic areas, so there is no excuse for waste paper, pop bottles, or other materials being thrown on the floor.
You'd better get in close for a sure shot at the trash barrel.
A word of caution. If a bottle should be broken on the floor, don't attempt to pick up the glass with your bare hands,
Wear gloves or sweep up the pieces. The same procedure should be used for cleaning up nails and other sharp objects.
Let's face it. It is just a lot easier to do your job when your work area is kept neat. Keep your tools and equipment off the floor and stored in the proper places. This not only reduces tripping hazards, but protects the equipment you use to earn a living with.
Did you ever go to your closet at home to get your golf clubs and have to pull them out from under some other articles? Things start falling all over. It's a mess. But before you blow your cool, stop and think. "How many times have I left stuff piled on top of the golf clubs when I was in a hurry looking for something else in the closet?"
The same principles apply when storing materials or equipment on the job. Take time to make the piles neat. It's
unsafe to stack them too high and, if possible, it's best to keep them away from other equipment or articles that are used often.
We have to be a lot like a quarterback, keeping our eyes open for changes in the defense or certain other telltale moves of opposing players. On the job, we should keep a lookout for danger signals—loose flooring, articles out of place, or other unsafe conditions. These things should be corrected immediately, or notify me and I'll see that they're taken care of.
In closing, I'd like to emphasize that we're all dependent on each other for safety. It's up to each of us
Californiaemployers are responsible for maintaining a safe work place and adopting an Injury and
Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) to protect workers from job hazards. But employers are not the only ones responsible for safety on the job –Californiaworkers have responsibilities for maintaining a safe workplace as well. Do you know your safety responsibilities?
Know and follow all of your employer's health and safety rules such as safe work practices and standard operating procedures. Be familiar with the Cal OSHA safety requirements that regulate your industry. These regulations and guidelines are designed to educate and protect you from hazards and injuries on the job. Know the emergency and evacuation procedures and the location of emergency equipment on your jobsite; clear thinking and immediate action in an emergency can save lives.
Attend all of the safety training that your employer offers. Training helps you identify job hazards and take the appropriate precautions to protect yourself and co-workers. Never operate equipment unless you have been properly trained. Read and understand the material safety data sheet (MSDS) and know the hazards and safe work practices for all of the chemicals that you work with. If you have a question about equipment, a chemical, or a process, ask your supervisor – taking a chance at work can mean taking a chance with your life.
You are responsible for the safety of your own actions while on the job. Conduct yourself professionally and with your mind on your own safety and the safety of others at all times; the workplace is no place for horseplay or lack of attention. Serve as a good role model to co-workers for safe work practices and behavior. Maintain your personal work area and common areas in a clean and orderly manner; good housekeeping means a safer workplace. Always wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) required for your job tasks.
Talk with your supervisor about safety. If you have a suggestion to make a process or equipment safer, speak up! No one knows your job and tools better than you. Immediately warn co-workers and notify your supervisor of any malfunctioning equipment, hazardous conditions, and unsafe behavior in the workplace – someone's life may depend on it. All accidents and near-misses should also be reported to your supervisor because investigating these incidents can lead to a safer environment. If you have a job-related injury or illness, promptly report it to your employer and seek appropriate treatment.
When you share the responsibility for safety in the workplace, everyone wins.
There are a number of safety problems common to most workplace and job sites that can be solved with a little common sense. Planning ahead can eliminate most of these hazards.
Final note: Safety meeting are one of the most important parts of a good safety program, so hold them regularly. Impress upon every worker that it's important that they take every precaution to keep the workplace safe. Both employee and employer attitudes toward safety provide a key to a successful safety program.
Matheson prides itself in emphasizing the importance of safety and wanted to share these tips with you:
Even the Occupational Safety and Health Administration encourages companies to include their employees in the safety process. Not only does this keep workers informed about the details of your safety program, but it also gives them an opportunity to provide their input.
However, including your employees is more than a matter of putting up a suggestion box in the break room or asking them what kind of safety glasses they prefer. At the same time, including your employees does not have to be a major ordeal. It can be as simple as changing safety lectures into roundtable discussions.
In many workplaces, safety edicts come down from upper management and they become the rules your employees are expected to live by. A more effective approach would be to allow employees to set safety goals. In fact, instead of setting up management-only safety meetings, why not set up employee-only safety committees?
Another way to get your employees enthused about safety is to provide incentives. Instead of trying to guess what kind of incentives might work, allow employees to select the types of incentives they feel would be the most appreciated and effective.
Safety incentives are just one form of positive reinforcement. On a day-to-day basis, be sure you recognize employees who are performing safely. While you can't ignore safety lapses, try to have more positive things to say than negative. This helps your employees look at safety as something positive, which serves as a good motivator and encourages them to take an active role in your safety efforts.
Consider this statistic: 80 out of every 100 accidents are the fault of the person involved in the incident. Unsafe Actscause four timesas many accidents & injuries as unsafe conditions.
Accidents occur for many reasons. In most industries people tend to look for "things" to blame when an accident happens, because it's easier than looking for "root causes," such as those listed below. Consider the underlying accident causes described. Have you been guilty of any of these attitudes or behaviors? If so, you may have not been injured-but next time you may not be so lucky.
Taking Shortcuts: Every day we make decisions we hope will make the job faster and more efficient. But do time savers ever risk your own safety, or that of other crew members? Short cuts that reduce your safety on the job are not shortcuts, but an increased chance for injury.
Being Over Confident: Confidence is a good thing. Overconfidence is too muchof a good thing. "It'll never happen to me" is an attitude that can lead to improper procedures, tools, or methods in your work.
Any of these can lead to an injury.
Starting a Task with Incomplete Instructions: To do the job safely and right the first time you need complete information. Have you ever seen a worker sent to do a job, having been given only a part of the job's instructions? Don't be shy about asking for explanations about work procedures and safety precautions. It isn't dumb to ask questions; it's dumb not to.
Poor Housekeeping: When clients, managers or safety professionals walk through your work site, housekeeping is an accurate indicator of everyone's attitude about quality, production and safety. Poor housekeeping creates hazards of all types. A well maintained area sets a standard for others to follow. Good housekeeping involves both pride and safety.
Ignoring Safety Procedures: Purposely failing to observe safety procedures can endanger you and your co-workers. You are being paid to follow the company safety policies-not to make your own rules. Being "casual" about safety can lead to a casualty!
Mental Distractions from Work: Having a bad day at home and worrying about it at work is a hazardous combination. Dropping your 'mental' guard can pull your focus away from safe work procedures. You can also be distracted when you're busy working and a friend comes by to talk while you are trying to work. Don't become a statistic because you took your eyes off the machine "just for a minute."
Failure to Pre-Plan the Work: There is a lot of talk today about Job Hazard Analysis. JHA's are an effective way to figure out the smartest ways to work safely and effectively. Being hasty in starting a task or not thinking through the process can put you in harms way. Instead,
Plan Your Work and then Work Your Plan!

Last week Wednesday, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced a final rule specifically prohibiting interstate truck and bus drivers from using hand-held cell phones while operating their vehicles.
Drivers who violate the restriction will face federal civil penalties of up to $2,750 for each offense and disqualification from operating a commercial motor vehicle for multiple offenses.
Additionally, states will suspend a driver's commercial driver's license (CDL) after two or more serious traffic violations. Commercial truck and bus companies that allow their drivers to use hand-held cell phones while driving will face a maximum penalty of $11,000.
Thanksgiving Day has more than double the number of home cooking fires than an average day according to the U.S. Fire Administration. In fact, each year more than 4,000 fires occur on Thanksgiving Day. "Unattended cooking is the leading cause of Thanksgiving Day home fires, and it's easy to understand why," said Red Cross preparedness expert Heidi Taylor. "People can easily become distracted and lose track of what's happening in the kitchen when they are enjoying spending time with family and friends."
To help prevent home fires this Thanksgiving, the Red Cross suggests the following tips:
Even with the best preparation and precautions, accidents can happen. Thanksgiving is high time for cooking related burns. Minor burns can be treated easily if you remember to save the butter for the rolls and not a burn. For a superficial burn, cool the area by running it under cold water until the heat eases and then loosely cover the burn with a sterile dressing.

Matheson prides itself in emphasizing the importance of safety and wanted to share these tips with you:
Objects falling from above and striking people below have caused serious industrial injuries and account for a number of fatalities every year. Although the exact number of "falling object" injuries is difficult to determine, documents produced in several recent court cases suggest that the practice of "high stacking" materials and supplies poses a serious safety threat to those below.
Provide Adequate Warning - Workers or customers below depend on those working above for their safety. If you're going to be doing work overhead, warn those in the area either verbally or with signs, ropes or barricades. For those below, it's their responsibility to be aware of the work being done overhead and observe the warnings and barricades.
Secure The Load - If you'll be lifting a load to a higher level, make sure the load is balanced and secured so it won't slip off. Restraints such as nylon strapping bands can be used to secure overhead goods. In some cases, merchandise to be stacked on top of racks can be shrink-wrapped in plastic to provide stability and keep loose boxes and other items from falling. If using plastic wrap remember that the plastic may stretch due to the high heat at the top of the racks and may cause the load to shift. Another safety precaution is to provide netting on stored items or restraining barsto keep the load in place. If you're placing a load on a scaffold or platform, make sure there are guard rails or toe boards to prevent material from fall off.
Moving A Load - Never lift, lower or swing a load over anyone's head! Block off areas where loads are being lifted or lowered. Have a "spotter" in the adjoining aisle where items might be pushed off racks or platforms during moving or stacking of materials. If possible, restrict these stacking and heavy moving operations to hours when fewer people are present.
Practice Good Housekeeping - Keep tools and other materials away from edges and off of railings or sills. Stack them on a flat surface; crosstie or cover them, if necessary, to keep them in place. If you're working overhead, watch that you don't kick, throw or sweep material off that could fall on anyone below.
Whenever there's a risk of falling objects at a worksite, an employer is required to provide protection for workers and visitors to the site. Hard hats and safety shoes are examples of personal protection against falling objects.

text: Well, I made it through another semester, NUR 202. I am now moving on to the final semester of RN school. It will include NUR 203 and NUR 204. I am ecstatic. NUR 202 was a hard semester for me, but if I can do it, anyone can. I am no spring chicken anymore, so everything is double as hard for me this go around in nursing school. I could beat myself up every day for not doing this any sooner than I did, but sometimes life just gets in the way of your dreams. The important thing is that you never give up hope of fulfilling those dreams. Your time will come! When it does, you must seize the moment and go all in to get to where you want to be.

Anyway now moving onto this weeks Whiff of Joy challenge... A sketch by Jane (above)
The base card measures 5"x5" white card which I then covered in deep aqua card, then I have cut another square slightly smaller than that of the card base out of patterned paper from Magnolia. I then punched out a strip of the aqua cardstock using MS Garden Trellis punch, I left a section in order for me to layer another section of the patterned paper and ribbon on a slide and finally I adhered tiny pearls from KaiserCraft along the top.
I have used the 'Willow with Strawberry Basket' stamp which I coloured in using Copic markers and at you spica glitter pens and then mounted this onto silver and aqua oval shapes which were cut out using nestabilities. For the blooms (available at Wild Orchid Crafts) I have shaded in the edges and glittered with stickles. Finally the sentiment is from Hero Arts which was stamped twice and then layered. The butterflies have been cut using MS and the sprigg of pearls was bought from my local craft shop. I that then finished the card off using stickles in frosted lace around the edges of the oval, the sentiment and on the butterflies.
Thanks for looking... I hope that you liked it and please feel free to leave a comment.

Harold Baines was one of the best hitters of his era and the first "full-time" Designated Hitter. After being the first overall draft pick in 1977, Baines went on rack up 2,866 hits, 488 doubles, 384 home runs and 1,628 RBIs. During 1999, the season this bat dates too, Baines hit .312 with 25 homers while splitting time between Baltimore and Cleveland. The SAM BAT "The Dream" model bat is un-cracked and shows outstanding use. Numerous ball marks with stitch impressions are found on all sides of the barrel along with blue ink transfers, white leather ball scuffs and cleat imprints. The impression of a weighted batting donut can be seen along with green bat rack paint streaks. The lower handle and knob have been taped to enhance the grip and a heavy coat of pine tar was applied. The length "34.5," weight "32.1," date "6 13 99," Baines' initials "H.B." and model "Dream" are written on the top of the barrel in black pen. The Hall of Famer has signed then barrel in gold pen with the added notation "#3 Game Used." The bat comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1B16376) for the game use and has been graded a perfect GU 10, plus a COA from Beckett Authentication for the signature.

If you have a broken or chipped tooth, you don't really have to worry about that being a permanent problem anymore because these days there are many options for dental restoration all across the board. Many of these solutions are quite reasonably priced, which was not the case a few years ago. And contrary to popular belief, not just actors and actresses, but many ordinary people have started opting to be treated with dental veneers in the past few years.
So, you have gotten dental veneers and as far as you are concerned, you think that they are simply the best thing since sliced bread. After all, they fit perfectly, have no alignment problems of any kind plus there is also the fact that they make your teeth look better in every way possible. Whether you are looking to have an appointment with the best dental veneers dentist in your area or even a Miranda dentist for that matter, you should do so regularly to ensure your oral health matches your smile.
On that very note, here are the top five key tips to maintain your dental veneers:
- Practicing good oral hygiene on a daily basis: Even though this is pretty much a no-brainer, people still tend to forget about the importance of doing this every day. Neglecting your teeth and avoiding everyday brushing is bound to lead to a lot of problems down the line. Habits like brushing at least twice a day, flossing as well as rinsing after meals are highly recommended.
- Avoid the habit of bruxism: For those of you who are unaware of the meaning of the technical term, bruxism is the bad habit people have of grinding their teeth. Avoid doing this as much as possible and if it is compulsive, ask your dentist to provide you with a custom-made dental retainer.
- Staining foods are to be avoided: It's time to say a final goodbye to all those foods that end up causing your teeth to get discoloured. Excessively consuming large amounts of coffee and wine does tend to cause the problem of discolouring from time to time so you will certainly need to be careful.
- Cut up hard food before chewing it: Whatever it is, you need to focus on avoiding biting into hard food. That is the key aspect to keep in mind. Even though dental veneers are firmly attached, they can loosen up if you chew excessively on hard food. In the worst-case scenario, you could even land up with a broken veneer as well.
- Remember to use a soft toothbrush: Although this may sound a bit silly to most people out there, you need to keep this in mind when you are buying your next toothbrush. A hard toothbrush is bound to wear away the polish and shine of the veneers making your teeth look dull. So, make sure that you use a recommended toothbrush suggested to you by your dentist.
At the end of the day, you need to always keep in mind that taking care of your dental veneers means they can last anywhere between five to fifteen years or even longer in certain cases. Sure, they are not cheap which is all the more reason why you need to make sure that they are maintained well. After all, continuously spending money on them simply because you have been careless in the past will be a colossal waste of money on your part.
Additionally, make sure that you do your homework and find a renowned dental service that has had years of experience dealing with dental veneers plus recommendations from friends and family. Since these are people you know directly and not just random reviews on the Internet, you will find it a lot easier to trust this dental service, one such service is Classic Smiles Dentist located in Miranda, Sydney, Australia.

Narnia Roars!
Three of my children and I spent the afternoon yesterday in marina with Lucy, Susan Edmund and Peter. What a magical experience it was. From the first visual of the movie we were in the world we had anticipated so anxiously.
Everything about this movie was so beautifully and lovingly set upon the screen. From the anxiety of the London air raids to the tension between Edmund and Peter.
The Christian imagery was carefully preserved, and I will admit that I was in tears for most of the scenes between Aslan and the children. The battle sequences were masterfully filmed, and the character development was very carefully fleshed out.
If you loved the books you will love the movie. If you haven't yet read the books, go ahead and see the movie. I would warn you to bring tissue though, because if you are anything like me, you will cry.
