Mangaluru, April 1, 2017: Speaking after inaugurating a workshop on water conservation for district-level officers at Dr V S Acharya Hall in Zilla Panchayat, A R Shivkumar, Karnataka State Council for Science and Technology general scientific officer said "We need to respect natural resources like air, light and water. Water management is an important area and more thrust on it is seen as water projects have become the necessity of today.
If not used carefully, water will be sold like petrol in the days to come. Uncontrolled drilling of borewells has resulted in the loss of ground water. About 98% of borewells are useless now," said the officer.
Rainwater harvesting : Collect rainwater and recharge groundwater. Rainwater is naturally pure water and it could be collected with easy steps," he reminded. Inaugurating the programme, Zilla Panchayat president Dinakar Babu felt a need to rejuvenate lakes and wells.
DC Priyanka Mary Francis said that the engineers from the district should come up with a project to implement rainwater harvesting in government hostels, anganwadi and individual houses. The local urban bodies should ensure that the rainwater harvesting system is installed in all apartments. ZP vice president Sheela Shetty, deputy secretary Nagesh Raikar and chief planning officer Srinivas Rao were present.

Restaurant Haerlin
The two-Michelin-starred Restaurant Haerlin is one of the most popular eateries in Hamburg. One of only three restaurants in the city to hold such an accolade, it has been praised widely for its technically perfect dishes and, of course, stunning views over the Inner Alster Lake. Seasonally adapted menus ensure only the finest ingredients are used, such as the top seafood that the area is renowned for. The restaurant offers two menus, with highlights including smoked brown trout with berry dashi, John Dory with oysters and a sea-herb emulsion, and mango with olive oil, avocado and coriander.

Vintage Video - Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea Promoting the Polymoog
A friend at Roland turned us on to these YouTube videos of Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea in early promotional films for the Polymoog synthesizer, which debuted in 1975. If the Sequential Prophet-5 gets credit for being the first portable, giggable polyphonic synth, that's because the Polymoog wasn't very commercially successful.
Serious gear geeks may notice that the instruments in the videos say "Polymoog Keyboard" on them. Wasn't that a later version that was more preset-based and had fewer controls? Yes, but originally, the Polymoog Synthesizer--which IS the one you see in the videos--was called the Polymoog Keyboard. Early in the shipping schedule, it was decided to change the name to incorporate "synthesizer," then the Polymoog Keyboard moniker resurfaced in 1978 on the preset version.
The most famous occurrence of the Polymoog sound is on Gary Numan's "Cars," which used the "Vox Humana" preset for those string-like lead sounds.
Enjoy Herbie and Chick raving about how cool it is to play chords on a synthesizer, and don't let little children watch the first video. Those goth mimes dancing around the Polymoog in the woods are a bit too scary ...

BRT ~ Absorption and growth energy
Biomass Refine Technologies BRT Ltd has developed the BRT EverGreen absorbent mass to improve the properties of substrates. This product allows plants to utilize water and nutrients for growth most efficiently. It stimulates new growth and enhances growth also in ears prone to erosion ad low nutrient levels
Water and nutrient management
BRT ® EverGreen works through the capillary action in every direction, which is particularly beneficial for moistening peat. This product substantially reduces the amount of water required for irrigation, since water can be precisely directed at the root area that is of vital importance for growth
BRT ® EverGreen is mixed with the soil layer where the rooting of plants occurs. The mixed amount depends on the soil to be refined and is usually 10-30% of the amount of the soil in question. The product is ideal for improving the properties of all earth-based substrates and it also enables growing, for instance, in nutrient-poor sandy soils.
Soil improvement
BRT ® EverGreen significantly improves the cultivability of soil, by speeding up the rooting and new growth of plants. It is not a fertilizer, but rather a substrate improvement agent. Treated soil is fertilized normally. BRT ® EverGreen provides an opportunity to expand the cultivated area and to improve soil fertility. BRT ® EverGreen can be used as a reformer of so-called dormant farmlands, and it allows areas destroyed by erosion to be taken into productive use. The product is fully biodegradable.
Composting and dry toilets
BRT ® EverGreen enhances the process in composts and dry toilets by improving the moisture balance. Mixed with toilet bedding the product significantly reduces odor problems. This fully biodegradable absorbent mass is well-suited for use as an additive for all organic drying agents.

Dietrich Herlan | Travel Photography
About Dietrich Herlan
I am originally from the sunny city Fortaleza, Brazil, but spent most of my in life England. I first fell in love with travel around the world when I moved to England where I was extensively backpacking through Europe. I have been enticed to experience longer travel and more deeply when I was student at university during summer break and I was able to spend the whole summer travelling through South East Asia. I have been able experience new cultures and embarking on adventures not to mention that I had the opportunity to explore less travelled countries.
People take pictures for different reasons. Why do you?
I take pictures to capture the special moments of my life as when I look at one of my images taken a while ago, I want to be able to see everything exactly the way I saw it and I have enjoyed that moment.
I am aware how quickly time goes before my eyes and the camera is there to document and preserve that moment and to hold on to memories so that it can live forever. Taking pictures helps you to hang on to those memories a little longer.
Do you remember your fist photo and how was taken?
I did not study photography, my interest in photography began from my passion for travelling as ever since I moved to England I started backpacking a lot around Europe and Southeast Asia and I was always fascinating to see all these amazing locations around the world and then I wanted to share my experience with friends and family then I decide to buy my first DSLR and photography. It is hard to tell the first picture I have taken but I believed it was during my early backpacking around Europe.
Where do you draw inspiration for your photographic themes?
I have lived in Asia and while I have spent there I was drawn and gained an appreciation with Asia Culture. There is so much beauty and photographic opportunities can be overwhelming but incredibly inspiring. I can spend all day outside and never get bored to photography.
How do you edit you images?
How can you afford to travel the world as much as you do?
I work, I'm currently a full-time location independent photographer and I self-fund my travel and the half of my income comes from freelance electronic engineering related and the other half of my income derives from image licensing and print sales. I also create photos for different companies and different magazines. But instead of spending the money I earn on material possession I prefer to spend it on travel or reinvest it in the business. As an Electronic and software Engineer I am pretty lucky to be able to do my job in anywhere in the world.

On the subject of buttons: there's surely something charming in seeing the smallest thing done so thoroughly, as if to remind the careless that whatever is worth doing is worth doing well.
Charles Dickens (1812-1870), English novelist
I am forever changing the buttons on my clothes, usually for the same reason that I correct a drawing or shift colors around in my paintings; it sharpens the total effect and creates harmony.
Jim Dine, 20th century artist
Forget about buttoning up our overcoat – beautiful buttons should be framed and hung on the wall.
Mario Buatta, 20th century designer/lecturer
Small, plentiful, seemingly insignificant? Buttons, as neo-Dadaist artist Jasper Johns has said of his own icons, are "things the mind already knows". A button is like a tiny, evocative microcosm.
Buttons commemorate historical events and reflect the culture and aesthetic sensibilities of their time. One marvels at the labor applied to such tiny objects. We are spiritually moved by the effort someone has taken to make something so small.
Their collecting represents man's desire to discover the extraordinary in the commonplace. Charles de Gaulle collected buttons from French army uniforms. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis searched for rare French enamel buttons.
The Mona Bismarck Foundation's Paris Cultural Center will present, for the first time in Europe, a major international exhibition devoted entirely to buttons as artistic, historical, and cultural phenomena.
Boutons : stitches in time
The historical centerpiece to the exhibition will be more than 1,500 precious pieces from the Loic Allio Collection, considered to be one of the finest in the world. The collection holds many unique surprises, including:
A rare 2,500 year old Chinese button.
Buttons from the Middle Ages, still a little rusty after being unearthed from their long sojourn underground.
Buttons worn by the nobility at Versailles and in the gardens of the Palais-Royal, as well as buttons worn by the revolutionaries who stormed the Bastille prison. The 18th century is considered the "golden age" of buttons, when their decoration became a passion for the upper classes. Certain examples have been attributed to celebrated artists like Carmontelle Fragonard or Isabey, who produced miniature paintings and engravings that button-makers then set under glass and mounted in metal rings. It is said that even the Queen of France tried her hand at this elegant pastime.
Magnificent buttons from the 20s and 30s, inspired by the advent of haute couture ushered in by Paul Poiret and Elsa Schiaparelli. Prominent artists like Vlaminck, Cocteau, Giacometti, and Sonia Delaunay used these highly utilitarian little objects to express their artistic talent, making their buttons integral to the look of the garments embellished.
Red, white and blue buttons from the Liberation of France after World War II etched with messages of hope.
The world's largest button: a mammoth mother-of-pearl piece dating from the end of the 19th century.
Buttons made from almost every imaginable material: diamonds, resin set with bread crust, Talosel resin, and elephant skin.
The exhibition will also introduce the public to exciting new works by a number of contemporary artits who use buttons as their medium, including:
CLARE GRAHAM : recuperation artist
Los Angeles recuperation artist Clare Graham proves that one man's trash is another man's treasure. Graham draws inspiration from the used buttons he finds canvassing flea markets throughout southern California. His mission is to awaken people to the potential of garbage.
According to LA Times art critic Mayer Rus, "the grand scale, artistry, and monomania of Graham's work elevates it from the cornball to the realm of the sublime." His organic, sea form chandeliers are constructed of 25,000 buttons meticulously mounted according to size and color. Graham estimates that he has recycled close to three and a half million buttons for sculptures like Convex Mirror.
Graham grew up in a working class family of four siblings in a small town in Ontario, Canada. A born scavenger, he made do with hand-me-down clothes and used materials. "I'm genetically programmed to deal with things after they've had a useful life elsewhere." After working on several degrees at Long Beach State University, he joined Disneyland, impersonating characters like Goofy and Brer Bear. He eventually rose to Senior Art Director for the entire Disney network of theme parks.
"My work is about simple processes done to the nth degree until the accumulation is significant." The public will be invited to consider this statement while contemplating colossal works like Anemone Chandelier.
This self proclaimed "buttonologist" from San Francisco creates pointillistic portraits using thousands of buttons secured by tension wires. Lisa Kokin's sculptural works like Rescue are entwined with buttons of various shapes, sizes, and colors held together by imitation sinew, waxed linen, and chicken wire.
As Kokin explains, "My work is about memory and history, both personal and collective, and the area in which the two intersect. I am interested in representing the human condition by using the objects we leave behind." Buttons have made cameo appearances in much of her work. Her parents were upholsterers and Kokin's earliest memories are of playing in their shop with piles of vinyl and foam rubber.
"I have sewn since I was a child and the stitch plays a major role in my work." It was natural for her to join buttons together to form a reconstructed family portrait like Nineteen Sixty. She began experimenting with this technique working on a memorial to
her father and soon expanded to the realm of family portraits, past and present, human and canine.
For her unique work, Kokin has received a California Arts Council Individual Artist's Fellowship and a Eureka Fellowship from the Fleishhacker Foundation.
Her wall works have always had an obsessive quality: every button is stitched to its neighbor to form a low-tech pixilated composition. Up close, each piece is an abstract mйlange of colors and shapes; the fur- ther back one stands the more decipherable the image becomes.
"This interplay between abstraction and representa- tion intrigues me. It is as though I am painting with buttons, building my palette as I go along, adding and subtracting until the interplay of colors and forms coalesces into a coherent image."
On show will be a number of works drawn from Lauren Levy's 2009 exhibition Beneath the Palm of My Hand. Levy has chosen buttons as her major medium, explaining, "When I was small and visiting my great grandmother, I was rewarded for good behavior by being allowed to play in the button box. Buttons are for me the perfect medium for personifying the notions of loss, joy, grief, tenderness, and the consequent insanity of these extremes."
Levy was born in Corpus Christi and studied art and nursing at the University of Texas. She continued her studies at the Oregon School of Arts and Crafts, in metalsmithing. "I began making wire and button sculptures in 1991, after the birth of my first child. I had been making small metal sculptures using traditional metalsmithing techniques. As the parent of an infant, I barely had time to turn on the torch before the nap was over. I quickly realized that a low-tech direct approach to making objects with metal was necessary."
In her wall hangings, Levy experiments with buttons as a tool for drawing objects onto fabric. Works like God into God combine two-dimensional and three-dimensional elements into one. Black squares of cloth provide a simple background for button-based images of scissors and their permutations.
In hangings like Untitled Dress, Levy uses antique buttons to fashion little coats and dresses. The fabrics are worked with myriad stitches just short of quilting, some bordered with contrasting triangles – careful adornments adding subtle texture to the work.
Levy says of these works: "This body of work represents adaptation and change. The idea that change can occur slowly at first and then in an instant be different is interesting."
Artist and art historian Amalia Amaki develops themes within her studies of African-American heritage in her button inlaid boxes and church fans. At first glance, much of Amaki's work appears to be an assortment of nostalgic, pretty items: heart-shaped boxes of chocolates wrapped in gold foil and gem-incrusted jewelry boxes. Ornate handheld church fans, inspired by the colorful paper fans that women in Southern black churches used to cool themselves, frame vintage family photos.The rich, dark chocolates are actually buttons. The gems decorating the boxes and handheld frames are buttons as well.
Buttons are a mainstay of Amaki's work, especially used buttons. "The idea of being touched by all these unknown hands – who knows how many hands touched a single button? At the same time, they're very beautiful, ornate, like jewels. There are all these sort of wonderful histories embodied in the buttons."
In her use of buttons, Amaki explores their role in the history of African- American culture, in which they were considered precious items. During the era of slavery, to have buttons on your clothes was a special sign of prestige. Buttons were often collected as personal family jewels or used as a kind of informal currency.
Turning everyday items into fine art is Amaki's signature style. "I love taking the unexpected object and redefining it in the context of art – like a button, a fan, a faded photograph. If there is one thing that has remained constant in my approach to my art over the past 20 years, it is my desire to tear down boundaries between so-called craft and so-called high art.
Amaki was born and raised in Georgia and received her doctorate in 20th century American art from Emory University. In 2001, she became Curator of the Paul R. Jones Collection of Art at the University of Delaware, one of the most prestigious collections of African-American art in the world. She is currently a professor of art history at the University of Alabama.
Many of the button works in this Paris exhibition were originally part of a retrospective in 2005 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, entitled Boxes, Buttons and the Blues. Her work is in the permanent collections of the High Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Minnesota Museum of Art, and Emory University. Her button-embellished mural, Sojourners, was installed in 1999 at Gate E-5 of the Atlanta International Airport.
British artist Penelope Leaver Green explores the darker place buttons have in our culture – button phobia or "koumpounophobia". Leaver Green uses buttons on cloth collages to investigate and document extreme reactions to an everyday object. Extreme reactions which are more common than one might imagine. (It has been rumoured that jazz great Duke Ellington once delayed a concert for thirty-five minutes while assistants searched for a shirt with no buttons!)
The artist explains how this project started: "I was given a box of buttons by a friend. They had belonged to her mother-in-law who had recently died and she didn't know what to do with them. They were made for an enormous range of garments from a huge variety of materials. I spent ages categorising them based on size, colour, age etc. It was compulsive."
Contemplating her own compulsive reaction to the button box, Leaver Green discovered the button phobic she later used for her research: "My friend explained to me how she had often been given her grandmother's button box to play with and that she had been repelled by it. I sent her pictures of buttons and asked her to put them in an order of repulsion (i.e. our subject had a specific psychological disgust for plain, plastic buttons with four holes "harbouring dirt").
Through the internet Leaver Green found many more koumpounophobics: "having found one button phobic in person I found thousands more online, all commenting on their own repulsion. There were similarities in their response but also idiosyncrasies, yet very few could explain where the phobia had come from."
Leaver Green read English and Drama at Exeter University and completed the Motley Postgraduate Theatre Design Course at the Almeida Theatre, Islington, London. Since 2008 she has been working as a professional textile artist in Bristol, United Kingdom. At the heart of her work is the craft, the use of a needle and thread to explore diverse ideas and challenges, creating a new layer of meaning in the conversation between the medium and the message."

Hi. I just started working with my Rachio and configured it to run on odd days. Is it possible to overlay another schedule on top? Looking to water my zone 1 (where the dog spots are) for a couple minutes every day.
Dog urination spot mitigation. Looking to add a schedule
You can set up more than one fixed schedule – I normally use flex daily, but I have three fixed schedules that I use when I overseed the lawn and want to have it water just a minute or two throughout the day.

San Diego's Comic-Con is the place to be for every nerd, geek and/or fan-girl/boy out there. This year was just as exciting as the previous ones, offering lectures, contests, introducing new shows and presenting exclusive footage of well-beloved shows and movies. It is impossible to cover everything that has been going on in San Diego the past weekend, but I want to highlight my personal favorite part.
Of course, there were presentations and some sneek peaks and trailers for almost everything, ranging from The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Teen Wolf, Being Human, True Blood, Star-Crossed, Arrow, Intelligence, Sherlock, Hannibal, Divergent, Catching Fire, Thor 2, The Amazing Spider Man 2 and many more. Also, panels for the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who or Game of Thrones were held, but I can't help but be excited about the Q&A and first look at the Veronica Mars film. I am not trying to say that that was the greatest thing that happened all weekend long, but I've been waiting for a sequel of this story for years.
For those of you who don't know Veronica Mars, it was a TV show a couple of years back starring Kristen Bell, PercyDaggs III, Teddy Dunn, Jason Dohring, Francis Capra, Enrico Colantoni, Ryan Hansen, Kyle Gallner and Amanda Seyfried. Basically, it was sort of a more messed up version of Nancy Drew, with Veronica (Kristen Bell) being the teen detective in her town. The show has ended pretty abruptly, but to everyone's surprise Kristen Bell started a crowd-funding project to make a movie following the show. I absolutely cannot wait to finally watch it and think it is amazing that it was almost entirely funded by fans (they had 2 million Dollars in about 10 days!).
Here the footage they showed:

I will be going to a tiny little lake in the Catskills in NY to visit with family at a place we used to go often when I was a child. It's very quiet and serene, and hopefully full of watching nature, visiting with family and old friends, and a good book. The perfect medicine!

Few new things and a lot of decor from Deco(c)rate, which was a pretty great box this month:
Just a simple "look of the day" post today.
I liked this outfit 🙂
Short and sweet, on to the credits!
The new round of The Boutique started today and I went on a bit of a crazed linden spending spree.
However, that means I got all new cute things, so it's bearable 😛
Pretty much everything shown here is from The Boutique – my hair, headband, skin, eyes, necklace… so much newness!
Gonna go into detail on a few items though because I feel chatty today. So first up is the Belleza skin – Ava.
This version of Ava is available in 5 different event make-ups, priced at 600L each. I am showing the #5 make-up in the Medium tone because this one was my favorite. ❤
Also, the flower headband you see is from Noodles and also available at The Boutique. You can pick from several different colors as well as a few other flowery accessories. I got pretty excited when I saw this item because I love flowery headbands and hair accessories in general. Lately I feel like I have started some special collection of things to put on my head…so I had to grab this up. I might go back and get all the colors soon enough.
Lastly, and non Boutique related, I headed over to R3volt recently with the boyfriend and fell in love with this tank top:
It's girly and adorable and comes with a HUD that offers so many customization options it's insane. You can change just the top section, just the bottom AND just the bow. So you can mix match to your heart's content. It took me forever to settle on this combo and I will definitely be checking out their future releases. I am starting to think HUD driven color options are winning me over lately. I love them.
Enough rambling from me, I normally don't talk this much ❤
Here's all the details:
Skin: -Belleza- Ava Med TLC 5 (Tricky Boucher) @ The Boutique
Hair: [Elikatira] – Appear – Brown 04 (Elikapeka Tiramisu) @ The Boutique

Will you still love me…
When I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will.
Beach themed post today!
I pushed my computers limits to try to get some pretty photos rather than doing them on my stock backgrounds. My new computer is delayed so I will just keep trying til this one blows up or something lol. D:
I am wearing a hair that is from a store which is new to me called Due. I loveeee finding new hair stores, mainly because I am a hair fanatic and love to mix and match hair colors just as much as I do styles. This hair is mesh, and I am a fan of the longer bangs. I hate when bangs are choppy or straight across in a perfect line. So this hair suited my tastes perfectly.
I am also wearing another newly released item from the birthday round of FaMESHed which I mentioned yesterday. I picked the sky color knowing I wanted to take photos on the beach but both the top and the skirt are available in multiple color options and you can purchase them separately or mix and match.
I'm off to have some lunch, and I might squeeze another post in later today since I have lots of things I wanna blog lately. Stay tuned 😛
All the details are below:
Skin: [PF] Kumi – Pure (Mochi Milena)
Hair: [Due] Anna – Dark brown 1 (Dubled Resident) @ The Box Event

Skirt: e! Oceania Skirt – (Sky) (Eclectic Wingtips) @ FaMESHed

And wouldn't it be nice to live together…
In the kind of world where we belong.
She's got eyes of the bluest skies.
Today I felt like putting together a look that was far from my "normal" attire.
I was playing around with the Josephine skin from (love) and it's the perfect base skin to add tattoo layers to.
It comes with a no brow version, which is the version I used, so I was even able to add my own eye brows in addition to all my make-ups.
I went for a more "punk" look 🙂
My tank top is also new, from (love) and I think it suited my look for this post nicely.
It's mesh, and there are other patterns/colors as well. 🙂
Oh and here is a close up shot of the face of the skin, because I had fun editing and playing around with this look:
Hope everyone is having a lovely Saturday, I am headed outside to wash my car 😛
Here's the details:
Skin: (love) skin – Josephine T3/Matte/No Brow
Hair: [e] Rush – White 05 ( I tinted it this blue color )

Showing off a different look today…I can never decide if I want to have black or blonde hair…. >.<
Speaking of which, if you haven't heard, Elikatira is having an AMAZING sale on hair.
It helps with my black or blonde confusion because I just buy all my hair in "essentials" packs, which come with blacks, blondes, browns, reds, ect. A little of everything.
Right now though I think the packs are all under 100L. I purchased every hair in the store that I liked, and still didn't spend that much.
I liked this hair though, and it went well with this new corset top from Elixir.
The tops are mesh and come in several patterns, the black shown above and then these lighter options:
I didn't have to mod my shape at all to fit these tops, which always makes me happy. 🙂
They are currently available on the marketplace only, but you can get them by clicking HERE.
I am about to head to sleep though, so I will hush 😛
Here's the details:
Skin: [PF] Kumi – Defined
[PF] Lip Glaze – Odyssey
Hair: [e] Fight – Black 04 * Having an amazing sale!
Corset Tops: -Elixir- Corsets – Black
Skirt: *Linc* Ruffled Miniskirt – Black

Blood Bowl – Orc Starting Roster for a New Season
At my FLGS we are trying to get some interest in running a short Blood Bowl season. There's only a handful of us who know the game, but I'm hoping those who don't will be interested in checking it out and giving it a shot. Blood Bowl really is a fun game.
Anyway, I'm not sure when we'll actually begin but I wanted to get a team ready and I already know it will be Orcs. I don't actually own any Blood Bowl teams and the easiest thing I can proxy in is my 40K Orks as an Orc team.
This will be my first table top Blood Bowl team, albeit a proxy for now. I play a lot, I mean a lot, of Blood Bowl on the PC. So, Orcs are not new to me at all and it's a team I routinely do well with, so it all works out.
Orc Roster
Here's what I was planning for my starting roster:
Black Orc
Black Orc
Black Orc
Black Orc
Re-roll x 2
Treasury = $30K
The last time I rolled up an Orc team this was my starting roster and I got off to a great start with the team. Although I try to avoid starting a team without an apothecary, I'm doing just that with this roster and it will be my first purchase, hopefully after the first game.
With Orcs I like having all my positionals from the start. Black Orcs need every game they can for SPP, so having all four from the start is ideal. Having all four Blitzers out the gate helps a lot to get me block on the field to offset only having 2 re-rolls. I also like to start with a Thrower to get sure hands.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Despite having played a fair amount of Blood Bowl I by no means claim expertise.
7 Join the Discussion!
I've been playing Blood Bowl for years, if your interested in Orcs I'm very sure I have a team stored away somewhere. I love this game and was excited when it game out and played just like the table top on video. The only poor thing about the video game is it doesn't have the teams I like [xbox 360]. I would be interested in the league too. I got an Amazon team awhile back and never got to play much with them. I also have a nice Undead team.
I would recommend starting with more rerolls than getting reserve players, especially for a high armour team like Orcs.
http://bbtactics.com/tv1000-orc-starting-roster/ is an article discussing various options. If you've already started the team then sorry this is a bit late, though there are other articles on my site you may find useful.
Heh, was just passing some time while watching the football. I often do a Google blog search for recent Blood Bowl posts for inspiration. This post happened to show up today. I like to see what's going on around the wider BB community.
Your listed line up is by no means terrible and can in fact have success like you mentioned. The fact rerolls double in price though and the Orcs tend not to die as often as most players, it is better economic sense to start with the third reroll. It will also help with those Black Orc blocks until they get Block.

Pint and a Half's second studio effort, Boomtown Ghosts, finds a much more adventurous songwriter in Duke Sheppard. Whereas Sheppard showed fluency with country and rock melody on the band's debut album, Blue Sky Earth, the full arrangements heard in Boomtown Ghosts bring much more character and emotivity to each song. The husband-and-wife duo have quickly gained access to full alt-country credentials. This is an album that will speak to people in a way they haven't yet heard.
Formed in 2014, Pint and a Half is Duke and Tami Sheppard, longtime Salida residents. In adherence to one of the fundamental laws of songwriting, "Write what you know," both relationships and life in their hometown enter heavily into the text of Boomtown Ghosts.
"This album is meant to play from start to finish," Duke said.
The album unreels like filmstrip projecting translucent life-moments you can feel – and almost remember as your own. There is careful scene-setting and sense of place. Both Sheppards take character roles with nuanced vocals. There is something truly delightful in the harmony of a couple who have spent so many hours singing together that they link and unlink vibrato at will. The two seem interested in much more than just amusing us, however. Pint and a Half has moved past being the sweet, simple country couple powering out folk songs to being a more serrated and poignant storytelling team. In this album, the Shepherds are serving hot oatmeal instead of Lucky Charms. It will stick to your bones. (The first album was "magically delicious.")
Boomtown Ghosts growls out a chronicle of boom and bust – in a home, in a town and in the heart. The cover art recalls a time when photography was laborious and carefully composed so that as the expensive flash bulb exploded, a single image would capture the entirety of that scene. Each object and person in the photos from early railroad days is burned in with great care and detail, complimenting the way the album was produced. Sheppard employed Colorado heavyweight musician and producer Don Richmond and his Howlin' Dog Studio in Alamosa to bring in an assortment of strings and keys that texture each song. The production itself is clean, spacious and detailed, so that when you give it proper volume, it brings you right in.
"Drive, Drive, Drive" is the musical on ramp for this album. "Nothing clears my head quite like the blacktop in the sun," Duke Sheppard intones. He clears his head, and ours, with a simmering rocker that "blows all the troubles from the corners of my mind." Sheppard's quirky phrasing and flourishes, with sliding thirds, fifths and sixths on both vocals and honkey-tonk guitar define some of Pint and a Half's unique signature, which runs throughout the album. The album begins with strong evidence of an artist that has found a stand-out voice within the genre.
The second track, "Big Creek," reminisces about childhood summers without worries. Within a gospel structure painted with a bluegrass palette, each instrument contributes, like vocals in the choir. It hits you gently in your chest with memories of that special place that always offered excitement and made you wish you could stay awake forever so you wouldn't miss a thing.
The story moves on as "Three Chords and a Roof" taps out a wholesome, string-band dance full of hard-working, log cabin, newlywed adoration. If you've got an old picture of mom, dad and baby "you," this song will help you remember where you put it.
The title track, "Boomtown Ghosts," zooms outward at a mountain hometown that is growing and crowding its roots again. It is told in true country-ballad style by someone who knows the town down to its carvings and secret passages. This town now has "more folks here than we've feet above the sea," Sheppard laments. The track harkens back to Salida's boomtown days and wrangles with the idea that perhaps something is lost during each boom cycle as people seek to profit. "I still can't leave my hometown/But it seems she's leaving me." And so the album comes together as the etched-in but fading photo-portrait of life. It is a journey through wonderful moments, mindful of the tendency for castles to fall.
The only cover song on the album is Gram Parson's "Still Feeling Blue." Tami channels a full Tammy Wynette swagger while the mandolin and banjo come out swinging and smiling. It is the type of hard-luck blues number that lifts the listener out of the headier song before it and harnesses Tami's vocal power, familiar to those who have seen her live performances.
As one one of the catchiest singles on the album, "Chinook" brings in a country-soul vibe with lap steel and accordion breezing through an airy production. Tami veers toward Leann Rimes, and Duke supports her with a bass vocal harmony that highlights the versatility of his composition skills.
A testament to how much range Duke Sheppard has found as a songwriter is "How You Pray." Crunch pedal and slide-guitar-scream set off the edgier side of both Sheppards, as they scold:
It don't matter how you pray
It don't matter what you do
You can turn and run away
I'll be watching over you.
Don Richmond supports the tale of judgment with apocalyptic rock organ. Instead of "Sympathy For the Devil," it is a kind of "Sympathy for the Kick Ass Lord."
The album starts to rust in the autumn-like song "You're Always." Duke pulls out a ragged, wounded voice to deliver the sense of slowly fermenting betrayal from an alcoholic spouse. "You left your bottle in the baby's room/A boy shouldn't have to help mommy to bed."
The mood swings rollercoaster-style to the end, up a steep climb of "Watercolor Gardens," which is a wondrous finger-picker for a lonely soul, a la "Eleanor Rigby" coming gently loose from her moorings like dandelion seeds. Then there is the boisterous careening down to earth from the title track of their last album Blue Sky Earth. Finally, a return home to the country gospel romance of "The Moon and the Stars."
It is unusual to find a small-town independent artist who can pull off such a nuanced and impressive theme album as well as such a quality production. This album should earn a place in the CD changer or playlist for every drive long enough to listen to its entirety. But be careful. These songs will imprint very quickly in your mind because they feel like moments you've experienced yourself. Pint and a Half just does them better for you.
Pint and a Half will release their CD with a show at the Salida SteamPlant on March 25. The album will be available March 25 at iTunes, CDbaby.com and pintandahalfmusic.com. You can also find copies at Fat Tees, Free the Monkey and Sutty's Records in Salida.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) agreed today with a petition from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to create a "no discharge zone" surrounding Lake Cayuga, Lace Seneca and Seneca River.
The petition, which is part of an ongoing effort between the two agencies, would also include the navigable tributaries between the water bodies, which are drinking water sources for the area. The lakes and river are also important due to their ecological, economic and public health significance.
Discharging sewage in these water bodies could impact water quality, the health of local populations and the native aquatic life, due to the release of chemicals such as formaldehyde, phenols and chlorine.
In light of the petition, the EPA has found that facilities around the lakes would be more suitable for pumping sewage into. The agency has requested public comment on its proposed approval of the measure until May 17.
The partnership between these agencies has already seen the creation of "no discharge zones" for Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, Lake Champlain, Lake George, the New York State Canal System and the Hudson River, among others.

The One Road Premium White Circle Helmet
One by name and nature, the Bolle One Premium Road Helmet is a do-it-all helmet that combines the best attributes of an aero race helmet, a climbing helmet and a commuting helmet.
The premium version of the One, this helmet includes the aero shell plates. The click-on and off plates cover the front and the top of the helmet to provide a wind cheating aerodynamic advantage or a barrier to the cold wind.
On the rear of the One is a neat detachable LED light. This light can be clicked in for commutes or training rides where you want an extra boost to your visibility. The light is touch operated and powered by two CR2025 coin batteries, which offer up to 15 hours of illumination.
Designed for use through every season and the toughest weather conditions, the One helmet also includes a detachable winter lining. The helmet's straps feed through bands on the side of this lining to keep it securely mounted to your head, keeping you insulated on particularly cold days.
On the front of the helmet the sunglasses garage provides two specifically designed holes to feed the arms of your sunglasses into when you do not want to wear them. This keeps the glasses securely mounted to your head without the uncomfortable temple pressure that can often occur when fitting the glasses inside the helmet vents.
The fit has received as much attention as the One's superb exterior features. The Click-To-Fit system allows you to adjust your fit precisely while also eliminating pressure on the rear of your head.
Bolle have put a real focus on safety with their cycling helmets and the integrated safety QR code allows any person equipped with a smartphone, that can read QR codes, to identify who exactly should be contacted and what should be done, in the case of an accident. This message is relayed via a pre-recorded voice message.

Please note: Helmets that are sold are certified with a European CE EN1078 standard. Specific countries may have their own certification, which is legally required.

Together a bat and a ball costs $1.10
If the bat costs $1.00 more than the ball, What are the costs per each bat and ball?
At first glance or impulse, the simple subtraction of $1.10 - .10 1.00 might indicate the cost of the ball is 10 cents.
But, wait, slow down a bit. If the bat is one dollar more than the .10 cent ball this means the bat alone would cost $1.10 which is incorrect because $1.20 exceeds the total, combined expenditure for bat and ball.
Correct solution is the ball costs
Since the bat costs one dollar MORE than the ball, the cost of the ball is .05, and at one dollar more, the bat is $1.05.

A group of more than 30 fantasy sports companies has started its own lobbying effort that diverges from DraftKings and FanDuel.
The Fantasy Sports Trade Association is pitching regulatory bills around the country, even though it once eliminated the need to enforce its own charter.
Despite the fact that an FSTA member site is unable to pay players their money, the organization continues to recklessly advocate for self-regulation.
Majority of daily fantasy sports bills working their way through over 25 states may authorize a far broader class of sports betting than lawmakers realize.
The daily fantasy sports industry took issue with many of the regulations of the industry proposed by attorney general Maura Healey.
Fantasy Sports Trade Association president Paul Charchian said his group will be fighting for the industry's legality by taking a state-by-state approach.
California became the first jurisdiction in the United States to pass a daily fantasy sports regulation bill out of a committee hearing.
A Pennsylvania committee hearing on daily fantasy sports indicated lawmakers want to regulate the industry, but changes to legislation were not discussed.
A lobbyist for the Fantasy Sports Trade Association said in testimony before a New Jersey Assembly committee that daily fantasy sports requires more skill than...
New Jersey will not be acting quickly on any possible legislation to regulate the daily fantasy sports industry after an Assembly committee hearing Monday.

Enhance your professional profile – the workshop
I gave a talk to some fabulous folks at a Women In Film Breakfast meeting (Thanks Michelle Muldoon for asking) It went over well and I thought it would be a great idea to expand the talk to a workshop. Small intimate group and we will brainstorm together each persons branding/direction.
Tuesday January 12
6:30 -9:30
The old adage " A picture is worth a thousand words" has never rang with such truth as it does today. Attention spans are getting shorter and Social media tools are giving more preferences to images over words. How do you get images that will actually speak about you, who you are, what you do, what your craft is, what your business is. Do you use the same images for all your platforms? Or will you need different images. How much of yourself do you share in your social media, or your website. This workshop is about helping you find the answers.
This workshop is designed to give you specifics on the direction your images should take. Bring yourself, and your project. It can be your personal branding, an upcoming project or your business, we will, as a group, ask and answer the questions that will help you create a plan for your branding direction.

Dates and times
Friday 21 February 2020
Proudly sponsored by insider.co.uk and funded by Culture & Business Fund Scotland
BEETHOVEN Coriolan Overture (8')
SHOSTAKOVICH Cello Concerto No 1 (28')
SCHUBERT Symphony No 4 in C minor 'Tragic' (31')
NICOLAS ALTSTAEDT - Conductor / Cello
It is jaw-dropping to watch the skill and physicality of Nicolas Altstaedt switching between playing the toughest solo cello parts and directing the orchestra, then turning back to his cello to carry on, and doing it all so superbly. Shostakovich's spiky, brilliant concerto is a powerhouse work that makes the most of his dramatic side. It sounds spectacular but troubled, perhaps because beneath those notes lies a web of secret codes and references to Shostakovich's merciless oppressor, Joseph Stalin. There is a heroism to it which finds echoes in Beethoven's theatrical Overture and Schubert's 'Tragic' Symphony. That title was well chosen… for the first 2 minutes at least: then it all gets considerably jollier!

Alcohol-related websites
So I haven't been getting out much with the camera lately unless I manage to clear out of Dodge completely for a few days, as I have been very busy, especially in work.
One of the main reasons for this has been due to managing a project to redevelop Alcohol Action Ireland's website and to develop a new website, DrinkHelp.ie, as well as establishing a social media presence for both sites.
It's been a very interesting project and it it at all went "live" earlier today, which is great! The usual teething problems need to be sorted, but they will be. I hope people find the new sites useful and engaging.
As many of you kindly helped me out back at the planning stages by filling in a survey I put up here, I said I would let you see how it all turned out, but I am keeping this post brief as the sites should speak for themselves – if they don't I'm in trouble!
Feedback, as ever, is welcome! Oh and normal photographic programming will resume shortly!
Alcohol Action Ireland and its Facebook page
DrinkHelp and its Facebook page
Mixed Bag!
So, I'll level with you here.
if I hadn't been so busy lately these photos wouldn't be up here.
Getting some quality time with my camera has been increasingly difficult, but I'll be addressing that next weekend – in some style I hope!
Until then, dear reader, please look kindly on this mixed bag of photos from recent weeks, most of which were taken on a stroll around Dublin, which took in St Stephen's Green and the Iveagh Gardens.
Others were just random snaps when something caught my eye when the camera was close by.
I'll try caption them, as best I can.
A Bird's Eye View of Dublin
So last night I put one of my Christmas presents up on the wall. It is a copy of an amazingly detailed drawing of Victorian Dublin, dating from 1890.
"A Bird's Eye View of Dublin" was a present from my "Secret Santa" (as is now the tradition among the six Cullen siblings) and the Geographer in our family, Declan.
Amazingly, this panoramic of Dublin was issued as a supplement to "The Graphic" newspaper 123 years ago. Kind of puts the countless churned-out supplements you'll get in the Sunday newspaper today into perspective, eh?
This drawing is by H.W. Brewer, who (according to the information I have found on Old Irish Maps, where they are selling an original copy of this map) was named by RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) as the finest of all Victorian architectural draughtsmen.
Unsurprisingly, Mr Brewer was also a perfectionist. There is incredible clarity and detail in "A Bird's Eye View of Dublin", which the image above does not do justice to. Especially as it was taken late last night under artificial light – Mr Brewer would not have approved!
As pointed out on Old Irish Maps, this is "an incredibly detailed original topographic panorama, church spires and street-scapes are shown with exacting precision. To look at the scene in High Street, as the eye is drawn from St. Audoen's to Christchurch is akin to stepping back in time, with the minute detail of each house, window, door etc. delicately rendered".
I'm writing this post from just in behind the Four Courts, the impressive building dominating this small section of the overall map, which, as well as the Four Courts, shows The Liberties, High Street and Christchurch in the foreground, and stretches out to include the Liffey as it flows into Dublin Bay, with Howth and Killiney also clearly visible in the background.
How Mr Brewer achieved this fantastical view of Dublin before the age of helicopters and aerial photography has apparently been a matter of some conjecture since it was first produced.
According to Old Irish Maps, "that he invented it all using ground-level sketches and a bit of imagination is highly probable. And indeed would be a correct assumption, except for the fact that five years before this Dublin panorama was completed he produced a "Bird's Eye View of Liverpool – As seen from a Balloon", (1885). We guess it will remain a mystery!"
Oh and, on a final note, I have to say, Declan set the bar pretty high this year, as I also got this amazing book!
Chancery Park Fountain
I have been walking past Chancery Park at night for some time now, always looking longingly over the spiky railings as I stroll by.
Chancery Park is a grand title for what is essentially a small garden attached to a building comprising 27 flats (Chancery House), which you can read all about here, in Dublin's north inner city. It is located just beside the Four Courts between the Luas (tram) tracks and the Quay.
The reason for the longing looks is that I have been particularly taken with the fountain there, which is lit up at night, with The Spire on O'Connell Street in the skyline behind it as you look at it from the Four Courts side (the second photo below).
However, you can never get in there at night as the park is only open a few hours a day and closes very early in the afternoon. This is apparently to do with anti-social behaviour and is mentioned in the piece I linked to above.
The fountain is the park's centre piece and is surrounded by a few small benches. Several trees are placed closer to the nearby perimeter and that's it. However, it's still a very charming park. Albeit, one that I never see anyone in, though again this is probably due to the limited opening hours.
Anyway, last night I stopped looking longingly at the fountain and hopped the spiky railings to get my photo.
Apologies to Dublin City Council.
Earlier yesterday I had bought a tripod to replace the one I left behind at the beach on Christmas Day. It was fun to practice long exposures again.
Happy Rusty!
Irish Weather Online
For those of you, like me, who love nothing more than stunning images then the Facebook page run by the team over at Irish Weather Online is an absolute must "like".
Or for those sensible enough to have no Facebook account, you can still view the images if you visit the page.
Anyway, I'm delighted to have made their album of favourite images from around Ireland in 2012 with the photo below and if you visit the album you'll see my image is keeping some pretty exceptional company.
Aviva Stadium
I was driving home on Christmas Eve and I was tempted to stop loads of times in Dublin city by the sky, before I finally succumbed in Ringsend. where I took a photo from the bridge, down towards Lansdowne Road stadium, now known as the Aviva Stadium.
I like the stadium. It's on my to-do list to photograph at night time, probably from the same spot.
After getting my photo fix I continued happily to Wexford.

PAH Innovative Construction named regional domestic builder of the year at MBA awards
A stunning home built to suit the landscape gave PAH Innovative Construction the honour of being named the best builder for 2018.
The Master Builders Association (MBA) awarded PAH Innovative Construction the domestic regional builder of the year at the awards night in August.
The winning home was built to suit the slope and was built across three levels. The home also won the award for best contract home $450,001 to $500,000.
"We were stoked to take out the top award of the evening," PAH Innovative Construction owner Bec Hopper said.
"We pour our heart and soul into constructing each and every one of our homes and to be recognised as the MBA domestic regional builder of the year was a career highlight for us and very rewarding.
"These awards showcase to the community our commitment to excellence in our product, customer service and innovation."
While owners Paul and Bec Hopper are thrilled with the win for their business they are also grateful to everyone who contributes to their builds.
"Each and every one of our employees, tradesman and suppliers do such an amazing job and work together so well to pull off a completed project of exceptionally high standards," Mrs Hopper said.
"A lot of what we do is outside the square of standard construction as such so can be challenging but they always rise to the challenge and we are grateful to be surrounded by such an amazing crew."
The home
This tri-level residence was designed and constructed to accommodate the sloping site whilst retaining the magnificent views to the north over Wagga.
The three different levels of the home allow plenty of space for this young family and the detail and finishes on the construction are a standout feature.
"Our client did an amazing job with their selections," PAH Innovative Construction owner Bec Hopper said.
"A few of our favourite features in this home are the entrance staircase with wainscoting panelling, engineered oak flooring and the joinery featured throughout the home."
Heating and cooling across three levels was acheived by incorporating numerous shafts throughout the framework to accommodate ductwork, including a hidden shaft running vertically at floor height the length of the pantry joinery.
The ground floor of the home features a polished concrete slab and remaining two levels an engineered oak flooring. A Hardie deck completes the elevated patio complete with custom powdercoated tri-railing.

A Message For Parents
My love for sports began as a young athlete, then as a coach and continued as a parent. In fact, it was through coaching my own children and their neighborhood friends that I realized the power of mental training for young athletes. My passion was (and still is) to equip each child with the confidence and character to play well enough to enthusiastically enjoy the game.
My foundation for training youth athletes is built upon decades of researching personal improvement programs and motivational courses. I combined that knowledge with my real world experience of athletic competition and of coaching student athletes to develop the most unique and effective performance program available.
Steve's Sports Stars mental training for athletes was born out of my desire to help kids improve and enjoy the game, but the benefits are far-reaching. The extraordinary success achieved by my students is exhibited on the field and in the classroom. My students have consistently raised their GPA's and ACT scores by the use of proper goal setting techniques. Through their commitment to success and their pursuit of excellence they have exemplified great character and leadership. A large number of my scholarship students became captains of their college teams. Becoming a star through my program is not about becoming an ego-centered celebrity. To be a true star is to shine through exemplary character, discipline and action in all aspects of life.
If your young athlete shows promise in his or her sport, exhibits the desire to excel in the classroom, and feels a need to reach a higher level of performance then my program may be just what you are looking for. Finding out if we have a mutual fit is easy. Just contact me to schedule a free, no obligation evaluation. I'll explain the program and then you make the decision after you've had time to discuss it with your family. It's a pleasant, no-pressure process so let's get started now!

Fairfax AC Repair
Expert Air conditioning Repair in Northern Virginia
Many air conditioning units in the standard home will last anywhere from 15-25 years. You're more likely to get more years out of your system if you have it regularly serviced and properly maintained. Furthermore, repairs conducted on your unit should be performed by a professional to prevent further damaging your air conditioner.
At My Plumber Heating Cooling & Electrical, we repair your AC right the first time. Our customers deserve reliable service and we consistently go above and beyond expectations for quality AC repairs in Northern Virginia.
If you're having trouble with your unit, ask our Fairfax AC repair experts to inspect your HVAC system by calling (844) 294-8999.
Warning Signs that Something's Wrong with Your AC
Most obviously, if your AC won't turn on, it likely needs an adjustment. Sometimes this is a simple problem with the thermostat and other times the HVAC unit itself requires a repair. Other problems are a bit more subtle but can signify a more intensive repair or need for replacement.
Common AC system problems include:
- Unit turns on, but won't blow cold air
- Condensation buildup around the AC equipment
- Thermostat has lost power
- Irregular cooling through your home
- Strange sounds coming from the unit
- Bad smells pouring through the vents or accumulating around your AC unit
Should you experience any of these problems, ask our Fairfax air conditioning repair team to conduct an inspection. We can quickly diagnose and repair any problem you're having and get your air conditioning system back on track.

Easy Ways to Improve Your Smile
A gorgeous smile makes a lasting impression. In this day and age, people have a variety of choices to keep their pearly whites looking sensational.
Consider these simple steps to enjoying a fantastic image:
- Visit the dentist regularly. Routine cleanings and checkups will go a long way to keep your teeth healthy. These appointments also allow Dr. Mike Sagarian to monitor your oral health and address any problems before they escalate.
- Practice proper home care. If you don't make brushing and flossing a priority, your smile will suffer. Tooth decay and gum disease can wreak havoc on your oral health and appearance.
- Consider orthodontic treatment. Did you know that a straight smile not only looks better, but it is also easier to keep clean? Modern treatment options such as Invisalign aligners allow you to achieve a perfect smile without traditional metal braces.
- Explore cosmetic dentistry options. Even simple procedures, like teeth whitening or bonding, can have a big impact on your smile. Make a consultation appointment with Dr. Mike Sagarian to review all your options.
- Change your diet. Acidic foods can cause enamel erosion and dark beverages can stain teeth, so try to consume these items in moderation.
- Kick the tobacco habit. Smoking can make you prone to periodontal disease, which can result in gum regression, loose teeth, and even tooth loss.
- Smile more often. Most people feel better when they smile, and others respond well to your positive energy, so give it a try.

Skip the Plastic Surgery and Get a Smile Makeover Instead!
Do you want to rejuvenate your appearance? Do you find yourself looking the mirror, turning your head from side to side, wondering when you started to look so tired or so old? Maybe you're considering Botox or fillers or some other cosmetic procedure or surgery. If this sounds familiar to you, why not look into rejuvenating your smile? A smile makeover can change a lot about your face, and it might just enable you to skip the plastic surgery altogether!
When you get a smile makeover, you might start small with teeth whitening, or you might do something more dramatic such as dental veneers. Whatever you choose to do, your smile will look fantastic in the end, and just that one thing can change so much about your face.
As we age, our teeth can grind down. It's a matter of simple use and is a natural part of our aging process. Dental veneers can lengthen stubby teeth, automatically taking years off of your appearance.
Missing or gapped teeth can lead to the other teeth collapsing in upon the empty space, starting a shifting process that can, over time, affect the entire face. Dental implants or a dental bridge can fill the gaps left by missing teeth. Restorative work can change the shape of a patient's cheeks and lips, restoring a fullness associated with youth.
When your smile is beautiful, you possess a natural confidence that radiates from your face. You aren't afraid to laugh, smile or talk with others, because you know your smile is attractive. In the past, you may have hidden your teeth, but now, you can forget those old self-conscious habits and live your life, confident and self-assured.
A beautiful smile can transform your appearance. Don't turn to plastic surgery; call the Shreveport cosmetic dentists at Broadmoor Family Dental and begin enjoying your rejuvenating smile makeover today.

Dental Implants: Why They Are Better
Statistics show that losing natural teeth is still a common occurrence in oral health today. You might be surprised to know that it is estimated that 70% of Americans have lost at least one tooth by middle age. That's why dentistry has worked hard to come up with an ideal solution as a permanent, comfortable, and attractive way to restore smiles. Dental implants are the answer.
Getting a dental implant consists of having a metal rod, usually made of titanium, surgically inserted into the jaw bone. Once the area has healed from surgery, a crown is typically placed on top to complete the restoration. This procedure results in a very secure and comfortable new tooth that shouldn't cause problems again.
There's a long history of other types of tooth replacement options, such as dentures and bridges. Why are dental implants considered to be the preferred choice today?
- Appearance – the crown that is placed on top of an implant is aesthetically pleasing, giving you a natural smile.
- Tooth preparation – no preparation or reduction to neighboring teeth is necessary with dental implants. The natural tooth structure of existing teeth is preserved.
- Comfort – similar to your natural teeth, implants go into your jaw bone. This offers the same comfort and security as real teeth.
- Durability – implants are made to last forever. With good care, you can expect them to last the rest of your life.
- Diet – there are no dietary restrictions with implants. With dentures and bridges, you might miss out on some foods that could loosen or break your appliance. Implants allow you to eat whatever you'd like.
- Maintenance – cleaning implants is the same as cleaning natural teeth. Brushing and flossing is performed normally, and no soaking or external care of appliances is required because the restoration is permanently installed in your mouth.
If you're looking for a long-term and durable solution for missing teeth, ask your dentist about implants. The success rate is high, and the convenience and comfort can rarely be beaten by other alternatives.

- Multiplying Integers from Mathematics Teacher Calendar Problem - Find the smallest possible product obtained by multiplying two numbers from the set {-7, -5, -1, 1, 3}. Here are some extensions to consider... What if you could use three numbers from the set? Make up your own set of 5 numbers and try again. What is a general rule for finding he smallest product for any set?
- Multiply Integers with a Number Line from Andrew Stadel on Desmos - This is an online Desmos Classroom Activity that offers students a visual and conceptual introduction to multiplication of positive and negative numbers.
- Missing Multipliers from NRICH - A multiplication square with 4 rows and 4 columns has had all its headings and answers hidden. All of the headings are numbers between 2 and 12, and no heading appears twice horizontally or vertically. By revealing some of the answers, can you work out what the headings must be?
- 24 Game - This game can be played with an ordinary deck of playing cards with all the face cards removed. The aces are taken to have the value 1 and the basic game proceeds by having 4 cards thrown and the first player that can achieve the number 24 exactly using only allowed operations (such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and parentheses) wins the hand.

Excellent Quality at an Excellent price. My local box stores wanted double what I ordered them online direct from Glide Rite for and Glide Rite Shipped to my house for Free! We bought both the 3 3/4" and the 6 1/4".
Looks great! Very sleek and modern. Has a nice weight to it. Well packed and shipped. Needed longer screws than what it came with for the drawers. The installer felt the screw spacing was slightly more than 3 3/4". A template would have been helpful.
These things are fantastic. Heavy and solid, they look fantastic and give the old cupboards new life. And you can't beat this price, not even close. Would recommend to everyone.
The GlideRite 6" stainless steel solid bar handle pulls are a great product and price. You will not be disappointed with this purchase!
Just finished installing and looks really great and classy. Product arrived fast and all are individully double wrap,foam and plastic. Great Product.
We purchased these for our white kitchen cabinets. These stainless steel pull were a perfect addition to our kitchen with stainless steel appliances. They're solid and don't get tarnished as easily as the nickle pulls. I am very happy with item!
We purchased these for our kitchen cabinets. They were delivered on time. The product was solid. They look so beautiful in my kitchen. Its was a steal to purchase them from Glide Rite instead of regular home goods store like Lowes. Money well spent. Makes my kitchen look like million bucks.
We recently purchased 100 handles/pulls for installation on all of our cabinets and drawers in our home. The delivery came very quickly. The handles were separately wrapped and in excellent condition. The handles were very substantial and have updated our cabinets and drawers beautifully. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend this product and company.
Handles are great quality...and much much cheaper than Home Depot.
The product is great and solid, looks very attractive in our new kitchen. The team is wonderful, I chose wrong product while ordering and was able to switch the product with just a quick call. The product arrived save to east coast without any damage or issues. Thank you and keep up the great job!!!
