1. Have social media guidelines
To avoid mixed messages and customer confusion, it makes sense to have a clear and simple set of social media guidelines. These are for all employees and vendors who want to and are authorised to use social media to speak about the organisation.
Groups like Orange have a social media handbook, a security policy and a disclosure best practice toolkit to ensure a professionally managed set of guidelines keeps its social media on brand and on track.
Hopefully gone are the days when access to a company's social media channels, and therefore its reputation, were dumped on an unsupervised intern, because someone thinks "social media is just the voice of young people."
2. Learn from winners
The social media landscape and its audience's endless quest for novelty via social media can seem daunting on the face of it. But there are lessons for telcos large and small from the examples provided by the innovators and mavericks, such as that showcased by the brands and agencies selected for Shorty Awards.
There have been accolades for the likes of 02's "Be More Dog" campaign, Buzzfeed's Virgin Mobile "Always On" social advertising, T-Mobile's "JUMP" upgrade programme and Skype's "Your City, Your Passion" campaign. Globe Telecom won the Best Customer Experience award in the 2013 World Communication Awards by providing customer service through Twitter in a manner that is engaging, meaningful, and personal.
Providing freshness and high levels of audience engagement in a language they can clearly identify with are the hallmarks of the winners. Such characteristics should also act as the foundation for any campaigns telcos want to run in 2015 and beyond.
3. Keep innovating
Telecoms is one of the fiercest consumer markets there is, so the need to keep moving forward and fully use the technology opportunity of social channels to enhance the customer experience has never been greater. If you provide portable tools, apps and widgets to offer customers an enjoyable and useful experience, they will take control of marketing and generate buzz about your community and brand.
Properly managed and integrated marketing and technology solutions enable C2C and B2B conversations with support and sharing as natural by-products. Loyalty and rewards go hand-in-hand with self-directed communities that are confident to increasingly self-serve, as long as you have light-touch support a click away through webchat or other similarly suitable support. Again, keeping it fresh and relevant will enable customer retention strategies to be at their most effective and the brand staying on-trend.
4. Have social media champions
Telcos are often hothouses of technological and customer innovation. So it makes perfect sense for the in-house experts to communicate their latest work, passions and interests through internal and external channels for co-workers, customers and clients, as appropriate.
From blogging to podcasts and social updates, there are now a multitude of channels to reinforce the brand and deepen engagement, all with a human rather than a traditional corporate voice.
5. If your social is cutting edge, use it to help boost the rest of your digital offering
Success on social channels such as Twitter or Facebook can be built up over time by telcos to be ever more engaging and responsive. The real-time nature and content of the conversations can provide useful data on where else improvements can be made, such as new or more easily navigable content on the website.
Importantly it can point to how apps and mobile websites can be launched, enhanced and updated as part of an integrated digital whole.
6. Don't worry about the metrics – go beyond 'clicks' and 'likes'
"Likes", "Favourites" and "Follows" have limited value, depending on the maturity and variety of your social presence. They really don't tell you very much and in many cases may be pretty arbitrary, reflecting a fleeting engagement with a customer who has long since passed on to other interests and brands.
The trick is not to focus on one metric alone, but to look at several in concert that will provide the context and enable deeper analysis. For example, looking at the total volume of engagement to measure how well a campaign performed on a social platform can indicate your audience's responsiveness to your content.
But not knowing the reach gives you no idea if those who saw the content took action and engaged further. You want a mix of metrics to provide the layers of context and tell a meaningful story.
7. Are you passing the 'be real' test for an authentic voice?
It should become clear to a telco if they are creating content that people want to share on social. Customers will also let them know if they are succeeding in communicating in a "human to human" way on social and talking more like people than companies. In this way customers are engaged because they come to understand what you stand for, care about and what your values are.
8. Don't spread your social too thin - be across a few your customers like
There are a plethora of social sites and they are ever increasing. No telco can be effective across all of them. Better instead to pick the main ones your customers are on and via which they have shown an appetite to contact you or discuss your products. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn should be covered as standard. (It's an ever-changing landscape though, and this time next year there could be a new name to add to the "big four").
The rest are nice-to-haves and it may one day be worth planting a tentative flag there to see what conversation might grow. But ensure you have the resources to tend these sites and engage fully and promptly before you start expanding into new territories, or you will suffer potential brand damage.
9. Don't be hampered by old-fashioned RoI concerns – connected and relevant is a different beast
Just as we shouldn't be consumed by metrics for their own sake, they are an enabler, not an end in themselves, the notion of trying to bolt on Return on Investment (ROI) measurements to something as granular as social, in a truly multi-channel 21st century world, is pretty impossible.
Some marketers have said it is analogous to trying to measure the effectiveness of a billboard – sure, people may have seen it, but it is difficult to quantify how many "generated actions" came from that.
The key things to know about investing in social are: it is an integral part of your communications and marketing strategy, it is where your customers live and where they want to talk with you, it is a way to build the brand's identity and personality, it offers you creative ways to offer help and advice.
10. Use the right tools to boost your social success
It is important to use the right tools to ensure your message is getting to the right people at the right time, that you are picking up all nuances of customer voices and measuring social activity effectively.
Now that "gaming" Google to boost companies' search rankings is effectively impossible or at least more difficult due to Google changing its algorithm and crawling sites with various detectors, it should create a level playing field for the best to shine. Tools like Co-Schedule - a blog editorial platform with built-in social media sharing – will integrate seamlessly with social integrators like Buffer and WordPress.
Hootsuite and Tweetdeck allow you to manage multiple social profiles, post new messages and respond to interactions. SlideShare will get your presentations to wider audiences while Source Metrics will help you understand how social is impacting on your sales and which stores are seeing the highest conversion rates. There are a wide variety of free and paid for social tools. Like social itself, it's time to start exploring and seeing what works best for you.

The struggles of four women battling sexism in a small Indian town is the focus of this tragedy, which is based on true events. Pavarthi's husband is angry because her father has refused to pay her dowry. He therefore mistreats his young bride until she commits suicide. Her friends rally together to protest the treatment and harassment of village women. They meet with great opposition from parents and neighbors. Their reputations are viciously destroyed after they publicly accuse a local politician of sexual harassment. They do not meet with a happy ending. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

text: We can all look at the Milky Way (street lights permitting) but what is it that we see? How far away are the stars? How big is everything? How fast are stars moving? Are there really lots of potentially killer asteroids? What else is out there that doesn't shine? Where did it all come from? The European Space Agency satellite Gaia, launched in late 2013, will give us the first ever 3-dimensional census of our home galaxy, the Milky Way, and provide answers to those questions - and more. Kea is thrilled to be able to host New Zealander Professor Gerry Gilmore who leads the UK Gaia programme. Gerry will introduce us to the science, the satellite, and explain how school classes will be involved in original astrophysical research to explain Gaia's discoveries. This is a fantastic opportunity to get an insight into one of the most exciting projects happening at the frontier of space exploration. Spaces are strictly limited for this event, so please reserve early to avoid disappointment - our last few events have sold out fast! We will have Kiwi beer, wine, and nibbles available to enjoy, and look forward to meeting you all there! About Professor Gerry Gilmore Professor Gerard F Gilmore FRS is a Professor of Experimental Philosophy, Institute of Astronomy, at the University of Cambridge. Gerry Gilmore leads efforts to understand the structure and origin of our Galaxy. He led a revival of star-count analysis that first showed that the Galaxy possesses a "thick" disc, and helped to show that the thick disc formed early in the Galaxy's life.Our current understanding of how the masses of stars are distributed at birth was produced by Gilmore's team. In the early 1990s, with a student he obtained the still standard estimate of the mass surface density associated with the discs. This study set the pattern of future work. He pioneered the use of spectral surveys to unravel the Galaxy's history through its chemistry and established that stars in the halo of the Galaxy are chemically distinct from stars in the Galaxy's satellites, even though much of the halo must consist of stars stripped from satellites. In 1994 with a student he discovered the Galaxy's most important satellite after the Magellanic Clouds. As its leading UK proponent, Gilmore played a big role in selection of ESA's revolutionary Gaia mission. He is the driving force behind the ESO-Gaia survey, which has over 250 co-investigators and will obtain spectra designed to complement data from Gaia. http://royalsociety.org/people/gerard-gilmore/

error 502 is somewhat related with bad gateway or proxy.Try to test the same xml file on a tomcat web apps and check if you get the same issue.If that works fine then it could be with the network.
Also check in fiddler if you get the http 502 for which entry
Somewhat this was not the answer, but it came very close.
All I had to do is to call the js file and somehow the tomcat stopped rejecting the address of the app.
I used Fiddler to know this and all I could see was that it started working anfter I tried to acces and push data to the js file.

Bohemian Rhapsody—the troubled new production starring Rami Malek as the late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in his first leading, big-screen role—is barely watchable. Not because it's so thoroughly bad that I couldn't watch, but rather because of how bad it made me feel. For all that Freddie Mercury did for us—for all that his spirit-lifting rocket engine of a voice gave us—the movie fashions his life into a mock-glamorous, emptily pompous tragedy, when, if anything, it was a romance. Whatever the actual subjects of their music, every great Queen song—from "We Are the Champions" to "Fat Bottomed Girls"—is about falling in love with its makers, feeling like a member of that collective love, participating in it, singing along with it, being in on it. Their songs are about Mercury's voice—to say nothing of being about the "What the fuck?"-ness of their everything-but-the-kitchen-sink musical arrangements. All that Bohemian Rhapsody has going for it, meanwhile, is the "What the fuck?"
Oh, well. This happens. The film has had a notably rough road to the screen. At the announcement of its development, Sacha Baron Cohen had been cast as Mercury. The exceptionally talented Malek took over as pre-production lagged. Then original director Bryan Singer suddenly departed the film mid-production in a row over competing visions for the film. Dexter Fletcher, uncredited, completed the movie. I don't think any of that quite explains what makes Bohemian Rhapsody such a bummer. That's attributable less to the movie's making than to its intentions.
Bohemian Rhapsody tells the story of one Farrokh Bulsara, a Tanzania-born boy prone to calling people "darling" from a young age, whose family relocated from their war-torn homeland of Zanzibar to Middlesex, London. Farrokh becomes Freddie; he joins Brian May (Gwilym Lee) and Roger Taylor (Ben Hardy), whom he meets outside of a club performance after their lead singer quits; a year later, John Deacon (Joe Mazzello), a drummer, joins them. Freddie meets a woman, Mary Austin (Lucy Boynton), with whom he has a relationship. Then he meets a man, Paul Prenter (Allen Leech)—protégé to the band's early manager John Reid (Aidan Gillen)—whose influence over him would reshape the course of the entire band, including Mercury's estrangement from it. At some point, he contracts HIV—early in the history of the disease—and it advances to AIDS. And on and on. Bohemian Rhapsody hits all the notes you'd expect of a wide-ranging musical biopic, but relishes very little of them—save the band's actually iconic Live Aid performance in 1985. All roads, the film says, lead to Wembley Stadium.
The movie's haphazard direction seems to be the main culprit—but the writing doesn't help. Mercury's queerness is flattened into the boring same old: flashy parties full of drug-addled, punkish twinks on the one hand; quick nods to anonymous, offscreen sex in subterranean clubs and cruising spots on the other. When he's diagnosed with AIDS late in the film, the movie sets you up to think, "Well, of course—look at how he lived." And much of the narrative is predicated on that uneasy truth. Because Mercury's sex life was (apparently) unknown to his bandmates, the film's logic seems to go, it is beyond the scope of the movie.
Never mind the men Mercury met in these spaces, the interactions he had, the things he learned about himself and others—maybe even musically! Never mind the fact that queerness and gay sex amount to more than the shadowy explanation for his death, that these things were also a substantial part of his life. The film still finds time for polite gay romance, mind you—just not for the real substance of the relationships Mercury had with men, including, of course, sex. Mercury may have been closeted to some of the people closest to him. But the movie conflates this with being closeted to oneself. Worse, it wields it all in the name of a tragic arc that takes the specificity of Mercury's identity for granted. He may have been a rock legend, but he was foremost a man.

Portraits of a Chef: Miko Aspiras & Kristine Lotilla
Portraits of a Chef:
Miko Aspiras & Kristine Lotilla, Le Petit Soufflé
Photographs by Miguel Nacianceno
Story by Nina Unlay
The duo of pastry chefs went from cooking in the city's toughest hotels to putting up nine of their own restaurant concepts, including Le Petit Soufflé and Poison Doughnuts. Nowadays, running the business is what gets them gunning; the pastries help them sit still.
As they put the finishing décor on their chocolate, slim brushes in hand, Chefs Miko Aspiras and Kristine Lotilla are unmoving, apart from the precise brush strokes that they make and the scrutiny that sometimes washes over their facial expressions. It is just as they said—they are basically one mind ("We've been one brain for maybe four years," she says), sometimes glancing over at one another's work with a quick nod or a comment. The business of the rest of the kitchen, staff moving in and out, is lost on them.
"What we're passionate about is culinary. Kami ni Miko, we're really hands-on. From purchasing, makikita mo kami sa Divisoria. Even when we started, I was thinking of taking an MBA 'cause wala kaming alam ni Miko how to do business. But someone told me: you don't need an MBA. You're surrounded with businessmen."
But once the chocolate treats are done, the collective scrutiny stops, and they are able to enjoy what they've created; almost little works of art on a plate. No one fusses over the plate harder than Chef Miko, both in admiration and criticism ("I'm self-aware to a fault," he says as he takes his phone out to capture photos, but takes another few minutes to move pieces around. "But it also helps me [as a chef].") The design for one of his plates features several tiny triangles in an intricate design, which he says came to him the other day.
They're also able to enjoy the chocolates on their palette—both of them being avid dessert-lovers. "I think we have the best chocolate cake," Miko declares. "I think we kind of introduced the next Polly's [chocolate cake]. Do you know about Polly's Chocolate Cake? When I was in high school, you would hear about it talaga—yung mga matatanda, tito, tita—oh, Polly's is the best! But it's basically cocoa powder and condensed milk."
According to the duo, Filipinos are still used to a particular quality of chocolate that has made their jobs as pastry chefs a little trying. "I think [some people are] more open now to dark chocolate," Kristine says. "Our 17-layer cake is dark chocolate talaga. This is the cake we're most proud of. It's very approachable. It's something my parents would like. Even my nephews who are one-digit ages like it. For the longest time, we try to test the market to see how far they would take our creativity but we knew, at the end of the day, the market would still go to relatability. And this was the product that we knew could relate to the market but still have the quality we wanted."
The job of a pastry chef is no easy task—it's quality and finesse, a kind of precision that Miko and Kristine couldn't release even as business partners. Now having opened nine restaurant concepts since they first started out, they say that they've developed a kind of business sense that works for them. "Kristine would always say na with the 9 restaurant concepts that we opened, nine times na kami nag-MBA. From scratch talaga lahat, so you have to make it work."

"Whenever the Putin regime does something terrible that attracts a great deal of criticism, it is always worthwhile to look around and see if that action is in fact intended to distract attention from something even worse. That appears to be happening at the time of the discussion of the draconian "Yarovaya law package," Andrey Shipilov suggests. In a Kasparov.ru portal post today, the Moscow journalist warns that while most people are talking about the Yarovaya laws, the Putin regime is "quietly legalizing extra-judicial limitations on the rights of [Russian] citizens" in ways that may have even more negative and far-reaching consequences. In fact, if one examines a law Putin has signed about the creation of "a prophylactic system against legal violations", one is forced to conclude that its provisions made the Yarovaya package look like "innocent" child's play in comparison. [...] As Shepilov points out, this legislation was signed into law by Vladimir Putin on June 23 and will enter into force on September 22."

Moving To And From San Francisco State University (SFSU)
Admittedly, moving is a process that can prove to be stressful. No matter the distance of the move, be it a local move, down the street or across states, if a move is not handled well, it can cause you a lot of frustration. However, this is just one side of the coin. On the other hand, moving can also be hassle-free and over before you know it. Therefore, no matter the reason for your move as a student, we are here to assure you that the process can be made simple and hassle-free. A-1 Auto Transport Inc has been in the moving industry for very many years now, and we have great reviews. Many students from San Francisco State University have used our moving services to the dorms and also from university as they transition to a new life after graduation. Trust us; we handle the process like the real professionals we are.
How to have a hassle-free move
As we have mentioned above, it is possible to have a simple move without the frustrations associated with moving. Here are a few tips to help you achieve this.
- Create a to-do list: Moving entails a lot of details, which if not written down can be forgotten until the very last minute. Write a checklist with all the items of your move and tick them off as you tackle each. Remember to prioritize and include deadlines.
- Use vacuum sealed bag to create more space: Vacuum sealed bags help to pack away fluffy items that would usually take up lots of space, in as small a space as possible. Comforters, duvets and blankets can be vacuum sealed to save on space.
- Pack a priority box: Set aside a box that will hold items that you will need immediately. Such items could include your coffee machine, cleaning supplies, toilet paper and toiletries.
Why you need to hire a professional moving company
When you hire a professional mover, you are assured of a smooth, hassle-free process. If you are considering hiring one, here are some reasons why you should go ahead and hire them.
- Avoid the heavy lifting: Moving involves lots of heavy lifting, packing and hauling. Leave all these to a professional mover who has trained and experienced labor to do this safely.
- Experience in the industry: As a student, this might by the first move you will be making by yourself. This means you have no idea where to begin. Why don't you leave this to the experts? They have tons of experience which you definitely could use.
- Less hassle: Asking friends and family to help you move is more of a hassle compared to contracting a professional mover. Professional movers come with everything you need for your move, while friends and family may not have all you require leaving you to run around looking for moving boxes, supplies and so on.
A-1 Auto Transport can help you move your household goods nationwide. Call 888-509-3213 to get a free, no obligation to buy price quote on interstate moving services.
Find the best university mover for your move
Having established that you are better off hiring professional movers, here are a few tips on how to find the best university moving company.
- What services do they offer? Find out what services the moving company offers by looking through their website. Do they offer extra padding for fragile items? Do they transport bulky items like pool tables? Do they move locally and across states too? Compare the services they offer with your moving needs as you make a decision.
- Do they offer in-house estimates? It is important to get a moving estimate before settling on a moving company. However, be wary of companies that are quick to offer an estimate on phone, without assessing the scope of your move in person.
- Do they have questions for you? A professional moving company will not only offer you moving advice, they will also want to hear what your expectations are. They should ask you questions that will allow them to give you the best service.
Our moving services at A-1 Auto Transport Inc
We offer a host of moving services such as cross country moving, local moving, nationwide and international moving. Additionally, we give full service moving options, moving labor, affordable estimates, cheap moving companies, moving boxes and supplies, dormitory and university moves, apartment relocation services as well as auto transport and moving storage.

'Crown of thorns' neurone found in brain - which could crack mystery of CONSCIOUSNESS
SCIENTISTS may have just unravelled the mystery of human consciousness after discovering three giant neurons on the brain.
Experts have edged closer to finally explaining how exactly humans have consciousness after they discovered three neurons in mammalian brains.
Consciousness, the ability to perceive and be aware of our surroundings, has baffled scientists for centuries, with there so far being an inability to define what exactly in our brain gives us this power.
But new research from the Allen Institute for Brain Science has identified three neurons in the brain, one of which wraps around it like a "crown of thorns", that could finally be the breakthrough that experts need in identifying the origin of human consciousness.
The neurons were actually found on the brain of mice using 10,000 cross-sectional images of the brain, and then used a computer program to create one of the most vivid maps of the brain to date.
Scientists may have cracked the mystery of consciousness
The neurons that may be the key to consciousness
All three of the neurons stem from a region in the brain known as the claustrum – which has been linked to consciousness in the past.
At the BRAIN Initiative conference, lead researcher Dr Christof Koch exclaimed: "A single neuron, projecting across the entire cortex! Absolutely astonishing!"
Where consciousness comes from has baffled scientists
The researcher described the claustrum as "a beautiful part of the brain that doesn't get enough recognition".
He previously wrote in an article for Scientific American: "[Looking] at the white matter fibres coursing to and from the claustrum reveal that it is a neural Grand Central Station.
"Almost every region of the cortex sends fibres to the claustrum."
Due to its massive connections, Dr Koch said that the claustrum may be acting as a "conductor of consciousness."

Legoland Florida Resort has become the first ever theme park to have its currency listed on an official exchange board. The exclusive partnership with Travelex allows travellers visitors to buy and use Legoland Dollars at the Florida resort, with the currency available at 55 locations.
This landmark partnership is the first time a theme park has had an official currency listed on an exchange board. The Legoland Dollar will be available at a fixed 1:1 exchange rate to the US Dollar, with a minimum exchange of $5 USD. The special theme park dollars will only be available for purchase with US Dollars and can be acquired throughout the summer season.

Review Date: 07/03/2018 |
Comments: Mario was great, I liked working with him, he came out checked everything before, during, and after sheetrock repairs & painting were done. Had some issues with painters he used - their prep work was not ideal, a little sloppy on "cutting in" around woodwork without taping first, and spackled holes were too large and smooth, and not re-textured before painting. One man he uses for sheet rock repair was very good and experienced. I liked him a lot! All the workers were very nice. Mario worked with me on the price when problems with my ceiling occured, which was great, since this was an unexpected expense. Maria wanted to make sure I was happy with the job that they did.
Review Date: 03/26/2018 |

I find out today that "Alaska … has more cases of botulism than any other state in the United States of America. This is caused by the traditional Eskimo practice of allowing animal products such as whole fish, fish heads, walrus, sea lion, and whale flippers, beaver tails, seal oil, birds, etc., to ferment for an extended period of time before being consumed."
Truly we live in an age of wonders. I was born in a world when no-one had walked on the moon, and smallpox still existed. And everybody thought flared trousers had disappeared forever. Now we have the internet and are going to send people to Mars. If we can just stop being twats to other people because their imaginary guy is different to ours then it'd be a Golden Age

Watch Your Thoughts
Beware the whirling fluctuations of the mind…even after booking a lush summer yoga retreat! By Victoria Jackson
I've started dreaming of the summer. The approach of springtime always puts me in a looking-forward frame of mind. I start planning. I feel full of optimism and see exciting possibilities everywhere. In January I fight with myself not to make a series of strict new year's resolutions that I know will simply oppress me by their dull worthiness. But by March the turn of the seasons and the lighter days magically frees me from any such self-improvement obsessions and instead, I find I'm naturally focusing on what I really want to do — not what I think I should do. What a relief, this is so much more fun!
So I've just booked myself onto a yoga retreat in late summer. It's perfectly timed so that just when back to school gloom settles over the UK, I'll be flying off somewhere warmer and sunnier and immersing myself in yoga practice for 10 days or so. I'm already looking forward to like-minded company, good food and beautiful surroundings. In fact, I'm wearing out the retreat centre's website studying the photos and picturing myself there. What luxury to be able to devote myself to my asana practice each day without any worries about how to juggle yoga into my day (or try to juggle my day around the yoga!). And when practice time is over I'll have the leisure of each evening just to sit and watch the sun set over the ocean. I can't wait, it all looks wonderful.
But my mind has slightly different ideas. It likes to play tricks on me. No sooner have I completed the forms and sent off my deposit, instead of basking in the joyful anticipation of this little yoga adventure, all sorts of nagging anxieties start queuing up for attention. What if I don't get on with the teacher or I don't like the food? What if I injure myself, miss my flight, or randomly decide I hate yoga and quit my practice in the interim…?
I know that this is just some crazy safety mechanism my brain has, thinking it'll keep me out of danger by pointing out every conceivable difficulty I could ever encounter. So it's not so much back to the drawing board to revise my plans, rather it's back to the yoga mat where I practice slow mindful movements, all the while watching the thoughts that arise as a steady stream of distractions. Yoga teaches me that I don't have to heed all these 'helpful' messages, they are just the whirling fluctuations of the mind, the citta vritti-s that Patanjali talks about.
And clearly, if Patanjali was aware of them more than a millennium ago, they're nothing new or unique to me. That in itself is strangely reassuring. So alongside my suitcase, my 'emotional baggage' and all those whirling thoughts will no doubt also be coming on retreat with me. You can't retreat from yourself, after all

Learn Fundamental Facts About Dental Implants
Dental implants are the highest quality treatment for restoring missing teeth. They offer exclusive advantages that simply can't be found in any other restorative option. From their ability to prevent the jawbone from shrinking over time to their unparalleled durability and realistic appearance, there is truly no substitute for dental implants.
What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is comprised of three components, each playing a critical role.
- Fixture – Made of titanium, the fixture functions as a tooth root.
- Abutment – This is the middle piece that connects the other two.
- Restoration – Usually a crown, this is the part that shows when you smile.
Understanding the Procedure
Getting dental implants is a process that can take 3-6 months, and sometimes more if supplemental procedures are required. These are the steps a patient must go through as part of dental implant surgery:
- Consultation with the Doctor
- First Surgery: The Fixture is Inserted
- Recovery Process: The fixture integrates with the jawbone
- Second Surgery: Final restoration is placed
Who Are the Prime Customers for Dental Implants?
Although dental implants are a multi-billion dollar industry, it's important to know that only people who are missing teeth are eligible to get them. No dentist would ethically recommend a patient that had all of their teeth to replace them with dental implants. Here are other factors that determine the ideal patient for dental implants:
- Good dental health is required
- The patient's jawbone must be done growing
- Proof of good dental habits is encouraged
- Smokers or alcoholics may be denied
- Pregnant women will very likely have to deliver first
What is the Appeal of a Dental Implant Blog?
While dentistry is a specific industry, numerous subjects are directly related to it. For example, how would trends like vaping, yoga, or running affect your oral health? What are the worst and best foods for your teeth? Which apps can help you track your family's dental progress? It's topics like these that affect everyone and give dental blogs their appeal.

Last night was as usual spent alone, I don't really do NYE, also having worked in hospitality for many years my sense of humour by the time we'd got to new Years had pretty much vanished.
I like the solitude I could hear people below enjoying themselves then later the drunken crying lamenting about why celebrate at all as it's the same old same old.
So the evening was spent watching old episodes of Frasier and Colombo, I did drink a bottle of wine, and raised a glass to myself at midnight, and watched some of the fireworks.
2014 was going quite well until December, but I have left this behind and am looking forwards my mission in place and I'm raring to go.
My positive today was: enjoying the feeling of waking up and looking to the future.
Second positive was being nominated by http://telephantitroom.wordpress.com for the above award which was a lovely surprise, (go over and show some love)
I nominate the following:
http://justdoitanywaydotnet.wordpress.com her blog From peace from Despair, it's written in fable form and is quite magical, but gives you an insight into the struggles of dealing with Depression and BDP, I'd also like to thank her for her support and comments.
http://pikturamma.wordpress.com Karen is a new follower to my site, and always finds the right comment, and I really like her take on things, she writes poignantly about her life and consequent struggles being a survivor of abuse.
http://mediocremegblog.wordpress.com When I returned to blogging Meg was one of my first new followers, I love reading her blog as it's just like having a natter over coffee, however this lady is working hard to organise her life, bring up her girls, whilst struggling with depression.
http://offmydottyrocker.wordpress.com Dotty writes in episode form with interludes, she quite humourous , but the underlying message is quite clear, as she charts her MH issues, a really good read.
Please visit and show them all some love:)
There are also questions to be answered, and many you choose to nominate both optional.
What is your favourite type of animal?
Funnily they have always been elephants, don't know when we used to visit the zoo I'd spend ages just watching them, on a side note I got chased by a baby elephant at Windsor Safari Park no harm done and i still like them.
What is your favourite pet
Cats hands down, I had my two little mates for about 12 years but had to re-home them 2 yrs ago, they were hilarious and very good companions.
If you could be an animal what would it be?
Never really thought about this before, but think it would have to be a swan, I've never been very graceful, and I just love watching glide on the water imperious and proud.
What tends to be your favourite season?
Autumn, love watching the way the leaves turn the colours are so vibrant and it's not to warm or too cold and I can go for long walks in the park.
What is your least favourite season?
Summer I just don't like the heat, especially here in the UK where the humidity is very high and no breeze, plus it's like open season for me with gnats etc.
Have you visited a landmark of any sort what was your favourite and why?
Coming from London we have landmarks just about on every corner, so have visited most, I like St Pauls a lot plus Green Park, Hyde park etc, where I live now we have a Castle, which is pretty cool.

Opening Night – Blackberries Might Be Precursors to the Killer Robots of Terminator Salvation
Terminator Salvation is the fourth installment of the Terminator
franchise made popular by Arnold
Schwarzenegger, and the director James Cameron. Too bad neither of them was on hand at the Terminator Salvation premiere in
Hollywood. Locked in a budget crisis (Arnold) and working on his new movie
Avatar (Cameron), both men had other things to
do. But their films, and the history of this franchise, were definitely
present on the red carpet. Some of the funniest and most interesting
responses I got from Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Worthington, and Anton Yelchin
were in answer to my asking what they'd do if they ran into — or
if they had run into — the guys that had made the story an icon of Hollywood.
Be sure to check out the Twtipics we shot on the red carpet too — and
you can always follow along with me on the AMC News Twitter feed to
get the live updates as we're out and about.

Vonnegut Speech
So what if I wasn't personally at this speech by fellow Long Islander and author emeritus Kurt Vonnegut. It's pretty inspiring nonetheless. (AND I had this up on my site years before the "Sunscreen" song!!)

Miley Cyrus Sexes Up Santa at Jingle Ball L.A.
The now touring radio festival Jingle Ball hit Los Angeles on Friday night, where pop radio station KIIS-FM played host to such stars as Robin Thicke, Jason Derulo and Enrique Iglesias at a packed Staples Center.
The high-wattage performers delivered their biggest hits via short sets, but while the first half of the night went smoothly, the tail end was plagued by problems for several on the roster.
Selena Gomez had an off night at best when she barely made it through a heavily back-tracked rendition of "Undercover" before shouting "What the f---?" into the mic. Moments later, she said the sound wasn't working and promised fans a "few more songs," then inexplicably left after performing "Come and Get It."
PHOTOS: Miley Cyrus Turns 21: A Look Back at Her Wild Year
Ariana Grande had a similar experience. Taking the stage looking like a snow princess in a white, frilly dress, her microphone failed to work for the entire first song, "Right There." Instead of giving it another shot, she moved on with her set, but only after taking a jingle jab at lip-synching stars like Gomez, saying "I'm sorry the mic was off … like the whole time," she explained. "At least you know I'm not tracked."
She made up for the snag with a cover of "This Christmas" and an acoustic version of "Honeymoon Avenue" before closing with her catchiest single, "I Love the Way," sans Mac Miller. The teen dream noted she was battling through bronchitis and sipped water between each song, proving she has a way to go before she can pull off such a feat without letting the crowd know.
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis hit the stage only hours after learning they had scored seven Grammy Award nominations. Clearly pumped, the duo performed their four biggest hits, starting off with "Thrift Shop" followed by "Same Love." Macklemore introduced the latter single, which is up for Song of the Year, with an inspiring speech that noted the progress made in music this year.
STORY: Young Latinos in Music: The 10 Hottest Stars
"No government, no state, no institution, no religion, no student, no school, no human being on this earth can tell you who you love in your heart is right or wrong. It is up to you," he told a turned up crowd. "I believe in tolerance, I believe in compassion, I believe in equality and I believe in love."
As expected, Miley Cyrus brought her brand of dirty pop to the Jingle Ball stage and managed to sex up her Santa-themed set with provocative reindeer, a dwarf in a onesie and boob cones, and a big-booty Christmas tree. She wore a sparkly, two-piece Santa suit with bikini bottoms and toted a Chanel gift sack as she twerked her way across the crowded stage as she opened with "Party in the USA."
Cyrus' set included the hit "We Can't Stop" as well as a cover of Lana Del Rey's "Summertime Sadness" that, truthfully, rivaled the original. Despite the distracting dancers and props that covered the stage, she showcased her strong vocals and captivated the crowd with an emotive performance. By the time she closed her six-song spectacle with "Wrecking Ball," the packed house was putty in her naughty little hands.

Touring Route 66
Today we had a charming group of Frenchmen stop in at the shop (one was camera shy). They bought bikes and are almost done traveling Route 66...they are finishing up in Chicago. It's so much fun to meet and greet all the folks traveling the old road.

Write it Down
There's a scene in an early season of Mad Men in which the character Kinsey, staying all night in the office, has a great idea while drinking, then wakes to find the idea gone and nothing for his pitch to Don Draper. "I had an idea and I lost it," he admits. In a moment of surprising camaraderie, Don nods sagely, and says, "I hate when that happens."
I've run across all kinds of advice–always keep a notebook with you, always keep one beside your bed–so you never lose that moment when inspiration strikes. I, like Gabriel Garcia Marquez, find the shower inspiring. But notebooks aren't so compatible with water. Nor with driving, which is another time ideas often come to me.
What I do, and have done for several years, is record it into my phone via Siri, creating a reminder with the name of the topic and what I wanted to remember and she transcribes it for me. New story ideas, new plot twists, character quirks are all saved for the moment when I can get back to my computer and build it into my manuscript or add it to the Evernote notebooks which house all my research until I start a manuscript and move into Scrivener. Like with being able to record on my phone or watch, which I can do everywhere (except in the shower!), Evernote works on all my devices, so I almost always have access to it.
It's all a bit of a kludge, but I do manage to capture most of my ideas. Once in a while Siri's transcription is absolutely incomprehensible, and that can be frustrating. But mostly, I never have to say, "I hate when than happens."

What Are Lifetime Maps? AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch navigation firm TomTom aims to grow to be a main provider of technologies for self-driving cars as it charts its way back to results just after seven lean years, chief executive Harold Goddijn said. There is space for improvement by means of the MyDrive service, but as it is the TomTom Go 510 still has a location on our car's dashboard. To do this, you'll need a subscription to but TomTom Household can make factors a bit smoother. TomTom House is the official update tool for , featuring a lot of beneficial points such as the capacity to easily set up new maps and solutions, restore and backup your TomTom, receive totally free traffic alerts, and even use services that commonly demand a wireless information connection. TomTom Home is an necessary tool for any subscriber who desires to manage their device or make positive that their speed camera map is updated. Each manufacturer compiles its personal points of interest and targeted traffic information from a wide variety of sources, but the simple map set in each GPS device is licensed from one of the two big suppliers. GPS device manufacturer TomTom and map supplier TeleAtlas are both Netherlandsbased providers, so it was only organic for TomTom to license maps from its compatriots.
User interface bad Applied to be excellent, navigation nevertheless is but ui has turn out to be difficult and messy to use, favourites and so on really hard to get as well, and putting in a by way of point is complex beyond belief, used to extended press map point and pick go through, not anymore. Download TomTom GO Mobile and drive with the app for a fixed number of free of charge miles every single month. The tomtom connects to my scarla rider when it feels like it, and I hardly get voice input from it. The Zumo is spot on where that's concerned. I found it less difficult to load a map strait from the mini sd card strait to the zumo through the hook up wire ( going from a two gig card with maps loaded on it to a new 8gig card. If you obtain maps you may discover it simpler to place them on a CD then transfer them by means of the http://www.garmin.com/en-US USB lead strait to the zumo and its SD card. My motorcycling trip have continued, with journeys across considerably of Europe and Cuba. With your map chosen, you will be prompted for a strategy of payment, just after which your maps will be offered for downloading and installation. A full map update can take as extended as an hour to download and be flashed to your GPS device. You should not unplug your GPS device through this time, so be sure to allot plenty of time. GPS devices from main companies such as Garmin and TomTom stand or fall on two basic sources of data.

Sweet embrace
by EdenFantasys
I Enjoyed the Sweet Embrace!
I liked this toy, but it took me a little time to reach an orgasm. It took a little "exploring" to find the correct placement of the cup and perfect vibration setting.
-Soft material
-Uses batteries (not rechargeable)
First impression
The toy arrived quickly and discreetly from Eden Fantasys in a plain brown box as always. I could not wait to open it up! This vibrator is soft to the touch. It has little nubs in the cup part.
First Use
Immediately after opening the box, I decided to wash off the toy, pop some batteries in it, and give it a test drive. It has 30 vibration patterns, and some are pretty intense. I laid on my back and briefly went through some of the patterns. I was in a rush because my hubby was about to get home, so I put the toy away after a few minutes without finishing the job.
Further Experience
When I was finally able to actually use this toy while not rushing, I was impressed by it. Once I found the perfect vibration setting for my liking, it did not take long! :)
Vibration Map
The vibrations at the center of the cup can be very intense depending on the setting. As you move from the middle to the outer edges of the cup, they diminish in intensity.
- Very mild, low level vibration
- Moderate vibration
- Strong and easily felt vibration
Orgasm Intensity
On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it a 6. It takes me a little more time than other toys to find the right setting and position the cup correctly.
This is how
