If you consider that it can take about 67 days to visit all of the entertainment offerings in Orlando, then it's easy to understand how the area drew a record-breaking 51.455 million visitors in 2010—making it the first destination in the country to welcome more than 50 million visitors, and, you'll be happy to know, 47.78 million of those guests were domestic.
So what do these dizzying numbers mean to you? Well, it means there are plenty of bookings to go around and with the myriad entertainment offerings on hand—always being added to, we might add—there are plenty of repeat bookings for the taking.
In fact, Cara Goldsbury, a Virtuoso travel advisor and travel advisor for Sanborn's Travel Service, as well as chief executive concierge for Glass Slipper Concierge (a Disney travel division for Sanborn's Travel Service), says, "Don't try and plan for your clients to see everything in the Orlando area, at least not on one trip. With four Disney parks, two Universal parks, SeaWorld, Discovery Cove, several water parks, and even Legoland it's just not possible." And with Universal and SeaWorld, among others, adding to their array of attractions, it's easy for a family to come back again and again, although planning is crucial.
Goldsbury emphasizes that having a plan of action is vital. "Lay out a day-by-day plan for your clients. Orlando can be totally overwhelming and there's nothing worse than arriving with no set plan," she says. "For instance, at Universal let clients know about special dining opportunities such as the Cinematic Spectacular Dining Experience at Lombard's Seafood Grille that includes an exclusive area where they can watch the nighttime show. Take care of the details for them so they can relax and just enjoy themselves while visiting Orlando."
On our recent trip to Orlando, our plan of action was to hit three amusement parks—Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and SeaWorld, all of which have new and updated attractions, parades and shows—and two AAA four-diamond properties—one of our old-time favorites, the charming Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal, and one of our new favorites, the 3-year-old Hilton Orlando, 2-time winner of the Hilton Connie Award for performance. We must say hitting three parks on three consecutive days left us a bit dazed, and Goldsbury suggests that "if enough days are planned for the vacation then planning a day off for relaxation and pool time is perfect. It's exhausting walking the parks all day and most guests like to stay up later in the evenings to see the nighttime shows and fireworks. So rather than planning for a day off in the middle of the vacation, lay out a plan for your clients to spend the morning and early afternoon in the parks, head back to their resort for pool and rest time, have a nice dinner, and then head back to one of the parks to end the day."
We heeded this advice and did take a day off poolside after the theme parks at one of Hilton Orlando's sumptuous cabanas, which come equipped with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridge, comfy chaise longues, and food service from the pool bar, the Tropics Bar & Grill.
Yes, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter might have put "Universal on the map," as Goldsbury says, but the word amazing comes immediately to mind when we think of the newly revamped Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man attraction at Islands of Adventure and the very new Despicable Me Minion Mayhem at Universal Studios.
"We've added more new entertainment experiences across our entire destination this year than during any other year in our history," says Tom Schroder, v.p. of corporate communications for Universal Orlando Resort. "This has created a tremendous amount of excitement among our guests, who are telling us they really enjoy everything we've done. And since much of this has happened within Universal Studios, it's been a great moment for that theme park. We're hearing families really like the ability to experience all of these new things together—whether it's our new Superstar Parade, our nighttime Cinematic Spectacular or our new Despicable Me Minion Mayhem attraction.
"We worked very closely with the creators behind the popular 'Despicable Me' film to create our new attraction. We worked very hard to capture the characters and the humor that helped make the film so popular. We think we did so—and that means there really is something for everyone as part of the attraction experience."

Loud Park 2012 (Saitama Super Arena) LIVE REPORT
Replacing bushes is crazy difficult but you do get aluminium spacer collars that solve the problem. I ordered a set from my buddy Yoshi (Ring's) and to keep costs down, with Yoshi telling me what to do, I did the hard work myself. It was surprisingly not that difficult, though having someone who knew exactly what to do giving me instructions made the task much easier. I probably would have dis assembled half the rear subframe if I followed the tutorials on the various Silvia and 240sx forums that are out there.
All in all. Job done for the price of cheap parts and a delicious Hamburg steak. AND MY CAR FINALLY DRIVES PROPERLY AGAIN…

It was no competition or anything. Just a track day with some mates. For me however it was a rather big deal. I saw it as a watershed in my sports car life. If the track turned out to be as fun as people said, I would continue to upgrade my Silvia and track it as much as possible with the intention to eventually participate in a low level competition sometime in the next year or so. If the drift bug didn't bite me any harder than it had up till now, I would move on from the Silvia and head into big power and speed territory with a Supra or GT-R….

This is an excellent course to learn how to think statistically with respect to linear regression. The course covers a lot of materials and equips one to further explore this vast area.

This course is excellent- if you want a solid understanding of the basics, this is as good as it gets. I would say it is most suited for somebody who wants a more conceptual rather than mathematical understanding of the subject, but its still has a good balance between the both approaches. The videos are very well presented, the lecturer is very professional and has clear and engaging style [not like most stats teachers ;) ]. My only difficulty was that I am already quite an experienced R user and the coding methods were quite different to my style, that's not a criticism really as there are numerous ways to remove the outer layer of a feline, as they say. There a decent number of typos and I was a little frustrated with some of the answers to the questions being wrong (I was convinced on a couple of occasions that I had it right and they didn't). I'm not the expert so they were almost certainly right it's just the explanation to the answer didn't really help me understand. Also for extra browny points it would great if the R code was formatted in a codey way in the reading lesson- like in stackoverflow. It kind of gets lost in the text. In summary if you are reading this chances are you want to know whether or not to do this course. DO IT The end

Well a bill came from Geisinger so I now know what my little excursion to the ER(then Urgent Card, then back to the ER)cost us.
We have an automatic $150 Copay every time we walk into an ER for treatment with our insurance plan.
And the bill for "Diagnostic Radiology"(2 ex-rays of my foot)was $548, "Pharmacy"(1 shot of Lovenox and 1 Coumadin pill)was $11.94 and "Emergency Services"(maybe the sonogram of my leg/ankle was included in this?..the ER staff's wages?.....the use of a gurney sitting in the hallway in the ER?...goodness only knows what this included!)was $1,420.
All totaled that bill came to $1,979.94 for my 9 ish hr. visit to the hospital.
Insurance paid $1,829.94 of the bill, leaving our payment at $150.
So with the copay we paid a total of $300 OOP for my ER/Urgent Care/ER Visit.
I thought our benefit was 90% for in hospital services but $150 isn't even 8% of the total charged on the bill.
Well the check is written and it's paid and done. If they want an extra $50 +/- from me they can come after me. lolz
And this all leads into talking about that this week and next are the "Open Enrollment" at Hubs works for next year's insurance plan.
I like to refer to it as "Open Season on Consumers" instead because I feel like Elmer Fudd when this time rolls around every year.
We've already started analyzing the costs/benefits of each of 5 plans we can choose from.
Oh what fun!! 8-))
Luckily for us, Hubs employer provides part of the cost of his healthcare so that is why we are limited to 5 choices.
I can't imagine having to pay the full shift of the coverage yourself and having to pick from all those supposed options on a state's mandated HealthCare Exchange.
That is, IF there are any options in your state, which doesn't seem to be the case in some states....not that anyone can get through the system yet because the websites are a clusterf*ck, but I digress......
We won't be going with our current plan, which is a local to this area of PA HMO, next year.
Mainly because we have a daughter in Louisiana who can't utilize any of the benefits where she lives as none of the practitioners or services are outside of Pennsylvania. When she left home in May we had to purchase an additional insurance policy just to cover her. It's an additional healthcare cost in our budget, and a bare bones policy and basically you can only use it if you are in dire medical need(and it has very high deductibles). So luckily she has stayed relatively healthy the last 6 months, but she needs a policy that she can use for day to day problems or if she gets an infection and needs meds.
And thanks to our wonderful government and the ACA if we continue to keep her on the plan she is on(which her carrier WILL continue to provide for at least through 2014)she will be fined because it's not expensive/expansive enough.
Thank you Mr. Obama and those pinheads in Congress who passed this mess without reading it!!
I'd like to personally kick each and every one of you in the ass right now....but then again, I'd need medical again for my foot.
So now, even if the insurance we pay for currently is great for me(who is by far the largest consumer of healthcare presently in our family)we have to change our coverage, our doctors, and increase how much we pay out of pocket for our healthcare. (If we were able to keep our same policy it would still go up a little bit but at least I wouldn't have to find all new healthcare providers.)
So option 5(our current policy)is out and we are left with 3 Consumer Directed plans offered by the same company(Cigna)and 1 HMO offered by Aetna.
I like the idea of going from our HMO to another HMO(this one is nationwide so daughter can actually use it!)but upon closer inspection it doesn't seem to be the best fit for us.
We'll run the numbers(benefits vs. OOP costs, co-pays, co-insurance and premiums)later this week using what we have spent this year on health issues to test which is the best financial option for us.
The 3 other choices, the Consumer Directeds, have in-network and out-of-network benefits, with the in-network benefits being higher of course. So we have to sit down and list all the doctors, drugs and services I/we use and see what costs would be in-network and what is out-of-network.....then weight the possible costs against the costs to us in the national HMO for the same services and goods.
I swear you have to be an Einstein to get the best deal for yourself......

Not-so-Tastefully SimplePosted by houndrat on Saturday Jun 28, 2008 Under random stuff, Uncategorized
So, last night I went to one of those Tastefully Simple parties.? You know the ones—where they let you sample food in hopes you'll? buy a ton of crap,? and somehow, if they sell enough, some random lady out in? the Midwest? scores a vanity-plate Hyundai.? No, that? can't be right–it's illegal to put a vanity plate on those.? At any rate, I don't really care about the logistics.? All I care about are the yummies.
I know they? hate me at these things but? for some reason, they invite? me anyway.? The point is to sample the food.? Key word here?? Sample.? Me?? I? act like I've been subsisting on a diet of rats and toilet paper for the past ten years, and grab a handful of everything, stuffing as much into my mouth as I possibly can before the dirty looks I'm getting from the woman sitting next to me force me to pass the plate.?
Oh, bite me, I think.? We're in SoCal–and Miss Manners don't surf.?
Then, once the plate's made its rounds, I hunt? it? down in the kitchen and eat some more.? Have I mentioned that I'm a yummy-addict?? But really, when you think about it, I'm just getting my green on.? Because if I don't eat that stuff, it'll just end up lining a land fill somewhere.? Or contribute to the child labor in China.? Or something along those lines.? ? ? Oh yeah–? and on my way back to my seat, I managed to finish off the box of toddler cookies sitting on the counter.? They went great with the key lime pie dip.
Honestly?? I just? don't fit in at these things.? Apparently, its a no-no to ask? about the toxins, like BHT, in their salad dressings.? Who would've guessed?? Thankfully, I managed to keep my mouth shut.? This time.? But somebody else was commenting on how much "prettier" the produce is at a huge supermarket than at the local farmer's market store, and how it stayed fresh soooo much longer.? Um, hello?? Ever heard of the word? preservatives?? ? No?? Then how 'bout chemicals?? ? I couldn't resist jumping in on that.? Somehow, I also managed to work the merits of fermented vs. unfermented soybeans into a conversation.? Just call me the quintessential sample party guest.
And then there's the drinking.? You know it's sad when you have to use a Tastefully Simple party as an excuse to pound alcoholic beverages, but hey, my chances for a good margarita and no kids are few and far between.? And I wasn't the only one.? ? Thank God the hostess? is was a friend, because the sampling started at 6:00 pm, and almost five hours later, five of us were still holding down the fort in her kitchen.? And we managed to clear every last beer out of her fridge.? Although, to be honest, I only consumed two of the drinks.? ? See, I'm a total light weight these days.? I'm thinking? my liver took enough of a beating in college, and now gets it's revenge by making my head explode if I even? so much as glance? at a third beer.? Hey,? its progress.? For awhile there, I could have one Coor's Light and still get a hangover.? And Coor's Light isn't even beer.
Of course, this morning, it's not my liver that's kicking my ass, it's my stomach.? I guess there's only so much dip, beer bread, and toxic salad dressing your belly can take it just one sitting.? And I'm thinking the toddler cookies pushed me over the edge.Share on Facebook

Planned Environment Therapy Trust
During the late May bank Holiday weekend a group of us met at PETT once again to try to give support to Craig Fees by helping with the Wennington archive material. There were five of us on Friday evening, Tom James, who had organised the weekend, myself, Sam, Andrew Ridley, and Andy Peers. Work commenced on Saturday morning, Sam and Tom busy re-photographing black and white photos, which had been done before but had nasty reflections. Armed with a piece of non-reflective glass they thought the problem solved – but not so – light from windows and doors was still causing shadows. Finally, a very frustrated Sam hit on the idea of using his own digital camera and setting everything up outdoors where the sky was flat and grey with impending rain. Thankfully Craig wasn't around to see this; he is very particular that archive material stays in the archive room and woe betide anyone who takes food, drink, or dogs into the inner sanctum. Once photographed the images were down loaded onto the computer. Andrew and Andy spent considerable time reading through documents to see if they were relevant or suitable for scanning for the website. These were mainly Kenneth's Sunday evening meeting talks, and other writing about educational matters of the day.
Late Saturday afternoon Katy Pentith plus friend, and John and Denise Pentith arrived just as we were wondering if the limited food contributions already brought would make another meal. John and Denise immediately set-to cooking mixed vegetable stir fry and chick pea salad, while Andy got his barbecue going, cooking, sausages, spare ribs, chicken and his own delicious home made beef burgers, undeterred by the onset of rain. The meal plus wine was a banquet.
On Sunday Tom and Sam continued photographing and scanning, Andrew scanned in Roger Gerhardt's slides for the website, Andy, Katy, and John continued reading through documents, removing rusty staples and paper clips, replacing them with non rustable brass clips and then passing to me for scanning. It was a real hive of industry and cooperation. Craig flitted in and out (generously spending time away from his family during a bank holiday weekend) to help us come to grips with the technology. One problem was that many interesting documents were on foolscap paper but the scanner was A4 size. On asking Craig if there was any way of reducing the originals his response was "Yes – put then in a very hot wash"! (Groan)
The day was rounded off with a superb pasta meal cooked by Katy and John. It was interesting to see sister and brother working so well together in the kitchen!
One of the aims of the weekend was to record our experience of Wennington, as part of an oral history project, for Craig to use on Radio Therapeutic Community International and to add clout when applying for charitable funds for PETT. I think we all felt either a bit inhibited, or worried that we would just 'rabbit on' without any structure. Craig was certain we could do it without his guidance so we did it as a group and asked Denise, a non -Wenningtonian social worker, to draw out from us what she thought to be interesting and of value to educationalists/social workers/ or just 'joe public'. She was brilliant – allowing us to talk freely but occasionally bringing us back to the point or asking us to explain or expand on things alien to anyone else. During Sunday and Monday we did three 45 minute recordings. Craig also wanted us to do individual recordings of why we went to Wennington, how it had affected our life, and what it means to us now but as most of us were backward in coming forward Craig grabbed John and gave him the third degree.
As well as all the work it was a great social occasion with lots of chat, alcohol and late nights for some who didn't retire until dawn but were amazingly fresh and alert by 10a.m.!! Altogether it was a most worthwhile weekend and thanks go to all those who contributed to make it so successful.
We are intending to spend more time at PETT but not at a weekend – we are very much aware that Craig has given a considerable amount of time, which he should have spent with his family. We aim to go during the week so if you are able to, if you have computer skills, if you are interested in the creation of an oral history, if you are interested in the future of education/social work/etc and would like to sift through documents for interesting or relevant material, let me know and you'll be added to the list. It would be particularly useful to have people from the 1940's and early 1960's to identify and date photos
Pat Mitchell
Craig's response to the weekend:
Dear Sam, Pat, and Tom, in various and changing orders,
Thank you and all the Wennington people who came for all of the help and support over the weekend. I've guesstimated something like 131 volunteer hours overall (do you think that reasonably accurate?), during which 917 photographs and slides were digitised (that seems to me a lot), and seven documents chosen and scanned (involving 67 scan images). Again, that strikes me as a lot. Three group recording sessions, which I have put on computer, listened to, and am looking forward to editing, and one individual oral history interview. And we have set in motion a script for the film, identified some gaps in the archival record, and filled the place with life.
I have one of the recordings which you all made, almost ready to go up on RadioTC International.,
Still a lot to do. Best wishes , Craig

I spent many years in the corporate world, predominantly in travel & tourism in the areas of Customer Service Delivery and Customer Experience and at the time I thoroughly enjoyed my work. There was nothing quite like seeing people enjoy every aspect of their vacation.
I've always been a believer in going the extra mile and giving more than is expected of me. This is just an internal principle that I inherited from my father, who was a prolifically hard worker. He taught us the importance of having a great work ethic, so going beyond the call of duty became a natural approach to work life.

Gray Fullbuster & Juvia Lockser vs. Lyon Vastia & Sherria Blendy is a fight fought between Team Fairy Tail's Gray Fullbuster and Juvia Lockser, and Team Lamia Scale's Lyon Vastia and Sherria Blendy.
While searching for opponents under Mavis' strategy, Juvia encounters Sherria Blendy who, believing her to be Lyon's beloved, attacks her without hesitation and starts their battle.[1]
During their battle, Sherria accuses Juvia of bewitching Lyon, while Juvia claims she only has eyes for Gray, Lyon arrives, commenting that it's surprising to see Sherria having a hard time and that Juvia must be strong while Gray arrives as well. The girls are surprised and ecstatic to see the two boys arrive. Taking a look at one another, Lyon comments on Gray's beat-up appearance while Gray replies that they'll still take care of him. Juvia misunderstands Gray's words as him saying he will take care of her, causing her to ask when they'll go on their honeymoon, which causes Gray to ask what she's thinking. As Lyon stares at the two, stating that he needs to make Juvia realize, Sherria tells him his soul mate is right beside him.[2]
In a battle between the pairs, Lyon steps forward and creates a barrage of ice eagles and directs them towards Gray. However, the Fairy Tail Mage dodges the attacks, causing them to crash into the ground and break. From on top of a bridge, Gray calls out to Juvia who is in the water below, Acknowledging, Juvia raises her arms and supplies Gray with a large quantity of water which he uses as a shotgun and attacks Lyon with. However, Sherria blocks for Lyon by means of her Sky God's Dance, earning her a compliment. Referring to the use of Juvia's water as an attack as a "dirty" move, Lyon attacks Gray with a large serpent. Sherria exasperatedly tells Lyon to attack Juvia as well, causing him to say he will leave that to her as long as Juvia remains uninjured, something Sherria says is impossible. Looking on, Juvia wonders about Lyon's strength while Gray is undeterred, saying that their teamwork isn't very strong and that they have a chance to win.[3]
However, the battle continues with Lyon and Sherria continuing to injure Gray and Juvia. While Lyon apologizes to Juvia, Sherria pressures him into delivering the final blow. Still, Gray puts his hand on Juvia's shoulder and tells her that teamwork is still their weak spot and that they can do better. Taking her hand, Gray tells her they can use their full Magic, which Juvia agrees to with a smile.[4]
Putting their hands together, Gray and Juvia begin creating a mass of Magic Power. Lyon interprets this as the two of them flirting with one another in front of him, much to his anger as he calls out to Sherria, who does not respond. Despite telling her they must recover, Lyon is unable to get through to the Sky God Slayer, who watches the "wonderful" scene of the two Fairy Tail Mages.[5] Going forward, Gray and Juvia aim their attack while Lyon continues in a failed attempt to wake Sherria from her state. However, by the time he is successful, Gray and Juvia use a combination of Ice-Make: Ice Geyser and Water Nebula on the two, sending them flying. While in the air, Lyon curses Sherria for her actions, which she apologizes to him for as the two Fairy Tail Mages smile at one another, having defeated their opponents.[6]
Once Lyon and Sherria are dealt with, Gray notices that he and Juvia are still holding hands. Asking her when she will let go, Juvia cuddles up to the Ice Mage and tells him "never", causing him to exclaim that she's scary as the two walk away. Meanwhile, Ooba Babasaama is in shock that both Lyon and Jura were defeated while a frustrated Sherry berates her cousin, calling her "stupid". Thinking of the situation but unable to cope, Ooba begins spinning.[7] As a result of the victory, Team Fairy Tail earns 2 points.[8] Knowing that he is the last member of Team Sabertooth left, Sting Eucliffe sends a message to all the Fairy Tail Mages, telling them where he is and that he wishes to fight them. Juvia and Gray arrive with the rest of their teammates to confront the White Dragon Slayer. As they approach him, Gray asks Sting who he wants to fight first, though Sting says he'll fight all of them at once, causing Juvia to tell him not to underestimate Fairy Tail.[9]

This is the space that I'll come back and use to plug Cory Doctorow's book, Little Brother. It's hard to give it a strong enough reccomendation, but I'll come back and try.
PS. You can download it for free from his site at the link up above. You have no excuse not to read this book.
PPS. Cory Doctorow is Canadian. For what it's worth. To me, that's a bit.
PPPS. This is a story about being a geek, and a bit of a social misfit. If you're reading this, there's a pretty solid chance you will connect with the protagonist.
PPPPS. If you are somehow in charge of getting books into the hands of kids, this might be one to get onto the young adult shelves. *hint, hint*
PPPPPS. This is a book I want my kids to read when they're 13 or older. I may force it on them, but I know the old horse and water adage. That's ok, I've got 11 years to figure out how to get them to read it, starting with buying a couple of copies.

This is a conversation that took place between a Muslim, who just got to his workplace, and his non-muslim boss.
Muslim: Good morning boss.
Boss: Good morning, how was your night?
Muslim: Thanks be to God, it was fine. And yours?
Boss: It was very stressful. I could not sleep. Spent most of the night reading this article that discusses Islam. . .By the way, do you know where I can find any moslem? I have a couple of questions.
Muslim: err. . .well, I am a Muslim. I'm sure you can ask me.
Boss: Really?
Muslim: Yes.
Boss: Well, it says here that moslems believe in one God called Allah, and in Mohammed as His final messenger.
Muslim: Yes. Yes. Exactly. I believe in those.
Boss: Okay. It also says here that moslems observe. . .err. . .Solah. . .five times everyday. . .do you do that?
Muslim: err. . .I am Muslim but I do not pray five times daily. But, at times, I do observe the morning prayer.
Boss: Hmmn. Okay. I think it is also written here that it is mandatory for Muslims, who are well-to-do, to pay a particular percentage of their income. . .Zekkah, right?
Muslim: yes, weeell. . .I am a Muslim but I do not pay zakat.
Boss: Is that so? I also remember the article says that Moslems observe fast in a month, is that r-romaddan? We are in that month, right? Is that not a can of coke in your hand?
Muslim: It's true we're in the month of Ramadan. But, I-I-I don't fast.
Boss: Hmmn. . .interesting. . .it says some other stuffs like; Moslems perform holy pilgrimage to Mecca, they do not shave their beard, they do not eat pork, they do not collect interest. . .how about those?
Muslim: w-w-e-e-ll, I am a Muslim but I've never been to Makkah, you know, because I'm not very rich, I need to get another car and a lot of other expenses are at my hand. . .I shave my beard, since we're in New york and that's the common practice. . .I also eat pork occasionally. . .However, I am a Muslim. . .you see, my name is 'Abdullah.
Boss: I don't understand. . .oh-oh. . .now I get it. . .you are a Moslem butt, not a complete moslem. . .I suggest you get the head, trunk, hands and legs, so that you may become whole.
LESSON: AS MUSLIMS, WE SHOULD LET OUR ISLAM BE BY NAME or CALLING ALONE. ISLAM MUST BE REFLECTED ALSO IN OUR CREED, BEHAVIOUR AND MORAL OUTLOOK. WE SHOULD COMPLETELY AND WILLINGLY SUBMIT TO THE WILL OF ALLAH, AS THAT IS WHAT ISLAM IS ALL ABOUT. ALLAH SAYS IN THE QUR'AN [Q.5, V.3] THAT HE HAS PERFECTED ISLAM AS A WAY OF LIFE, FOR US. HE ALSO SAYS IN SURATU-L-BAQARAH [Q.2, V. 208] THAT WE SHOULD ENTER COMPLETELY INTO ISLAM.
WE SHOULD LET ISLAM PERMEATE THROUGH ALL ASPECTS OF OUR LIVES. IT IS ERRONEOUS FOR US TO WANT TO BE RELEVANT WHEN IN THE MIDST OF FELLOW MUSLIM BROTHERS, AND AT THE SAME TIME BLEND WHENEVER WE ARE WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE DISOBEDIENT TO ALLAH, subhanahu wata'ala. IT IS ERRONEOUS TO SEEK TO PLEASE ALLAH, AND THE SAME TIME SEEK TO PLEASE OUR SELFISH APPETENCIES, OUR FRIENDS AND THE SOCIETY…

My baby is not as much of a baby any more. As I brace myself for what the third year of life with Cole will mean- I also beat myself up for not taking more video or pictures of him... so I'll blog:
There haven't been much of the terrible twos.. people have warned me that 3 is worse. Time will tell.. so as I think about the end of the second year- I'm amazed that children are absolute sponges. They pay attention to everything and miss nothing. Where I could previously proclaim "crap!" and it wouldn't be repeated.. not so much anymore.
Things I love about my Bubba at this point in life: He still gives me big hugs in front of all of his buddies at school...He says "I juve you mama" and loves to snuggle. He can walk, talk and has this amazing little personality. And so I'll never forget- I'll update the current speech pattern for the world:
- "mama wht's that?" it's a hybrid of who and what- but he generally wants to know who I'm talking to on the phone
- "DDD"- translation "DVD".. and most of our viewing pleasure is Thomas the Train. The theme song haunts me in my sleep
- Nok still means snack
- "Mama you're happy?" generally occurs when he has displeased me or I am focused on something other than him
- "Yay Mama!!" every time I go to the bathroom..he feels the need to be present for it first of all and secondly he feels the need to cheer me on
- "Mama!! Jus tuck me in" translation- Mama just tuck me in. He wants me to put all of the blankets over him and then make a little baby burrito and say "snug as a bug in a rug" as I tuck the blankets under him
- "CHEEESSEE" he hasn't quite learned how to take a picture
- "I can do it by myself" translation- get away from me Mama I can do it
- every type of meat is chicken
- we're obsessed with peanut butter
- "pweez leave the door cwack" translation "please leave my bedroom door cracked" suddenly we're afraid of the dark or being alone- I can't decide which
- "Mama- what we gonna do next?" the child likes to be on the go
- "Mommy I want to hold you.." (meaning I hold him- but it's super cute)
- "Jus stay with me" translation Just stay here with me and snuggle or focus on what I'm showing you.
To which we immediately get disciplined for not showing his mother respect.
So far if I had to say anything about this age- it would be comparable to parenting a hybrid. A toddler who is trying oh so hard to be a little boy and it's going by much to quickly. It is definitely an adventure. With 3 I never know from day to day if he'll be clinging to me because he thinks I'm the greatest or ever so slightly pushing me away because he wants to be an independent little boy.
Regardless, he remains the best thing to ever happen to me.. I can no longer imagine life without him and while it looks like I may never have any more children of my own... parenting Cole has changed me and my life miracously. In my pre-child life- I didn't really know that I was capable of unconditional love. I think that's why God gives us the ability to be a parent. I'm blessed to have this amazing little boy to raise into what I hope will be a great man. Happy Birthday Cole!

International Conference
Largest conference in Environmental History
Munich, 08/12/2013
Climate change, energy sources, natural disasters: These themes are the focus of an upcoming international conference in Munich on the history of humankind's relationship with the natural environment.
The world's largest environmental history conference takes place from 21-24 August in Munich. The conference has been organized by the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society (RCC) at LMU. In addition to the central themes expressed in the overarching theme of the conference, "Circulating Natures: Water – Food – Energy", other topics of discussion will include climate change, conservation and the history of environmentalism. "The term 'Circulating Natures' is intended to stress the fact that no environmental phenomenon can be properly understood when viewed in isolation, because this ignores the highly interlinked nature of environmental processes. We therefore adopt the historical perspective, which reveals that every change and every human intervention in natural processes has long-term effects," says Christof Mauch, Professor of American Cultural History at LMU and Director of the RCC.
More than 600 specialists from all over the world are expected to attend the interdisciplinary event. One of the plenary sessions will take the form of a public lecture by the American nutritionist and public health expert Marion Nestle. The lecture will be given in the Great Aula of the LMU Main Building at 7pm on 23 August, and admission is free. In addition, members of the public may attend all the formal sessions of the conference upon payment of a modest registration fee.
The interdisciplinary Rachel Carson Center at LMU is one of the world's largest centers for environmental research where environmental issues are studied from the perspective of the humanities and social sciences.

Article by Roberta Werdinger
"New Traditions, Old Traditions," the 2018-19 season of the Ukiah Symphony under the direction of Les Pfutzenreuter, debuts on September 8 of this year and concludes in May of 2019. The four concerts in the series will show the orchestra undergoing a marvelous series of transformations–from the brassy instrumentation of the Big Band sound to the yearning moods and chords of Tchaikovsky–in this beloved local institution's never-ending quest for musical excellence.
The first concert of the series, scheduled for September 8 and 9, is playfully titled "Kick Off Your Shoes!" The Big Band concert that the orchestra offered last spring was so popular that Pfutzenreuter decided to bring it back. Featuring songstress Roseanne Wetzel and crooner Pedro Rodelas, the orchestra will once again outfit itself with extra saxophone, trumpet and trombone parts to bring back 1940s and 50s favorites such as Tommy Dorsey, Ella Fitzgerald, and Frank Sinatra. With Wetzel and Rodelas singing duets and the orchestra rounded out with a rhythm section, this will be a delightful extension of the Ukiah Symphony's classical repertoire.
"Vienna's Masters" will follow on December 1 and 2, featuring the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Joseph Haydn, who all converged on the cultural capital of Vienna in the second half of the 18th century. The orchestra will perform Mozart's Overture to Don Giovanni, followed by Beethoven's Triple Concerto for Violin, Cello and Piano in C major performed by the Milou Trio of San Francisco. The Mendocino College Choir under the direction of Janice Timm will conclude with Haydn's Timpani Mass, also known as the Paukenmesse. Pfutzenreuter comments that the three great composers "used a universal musical vocabulary" that has kept their music fresh and relevant to this day.
"Triple Piano Concertos!!!"–exclamation points needed–will take place on January 26 and 27, 2019. Circumstances have finally allowed the orchestra to secure three grand pianos for the College's Center Theatre stage. They will be ably staffed by pianists Carolyn Steinbuck, Elena Casanova, and Elizabeth MacDougall. The concert will start with Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings, after which the pianists along with the orchestra will perform Mozart's Triple Piano Concerto–composed specifically for three pianos–as well as Bach's Triple Concerto in D minor. The interplay between the pianists, playing with and in counterpoint to each other and to the orchestra as a whole, is not to be missed.
The season will conclude on May 18 and 19 of 2019 with "Roy Malan In Concert." Malan, former concertmaster of the San Francisco Ballet, will serve as guest concertmaster for the Symphony–playing lead violin and overseeing the bowing of the string section. The program consists of two Tchaikovsky pieces as well as Alexander Glazunov's Violin Concerto in A minor. Glazunov, a Russian composer of the late Romantic period, wrote the concerto in 1904. Pfutzenreuter finds it "very romantic and western-sounding"–romantic in the other sense of the word, that is. And he calls the concluding piece, Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 in E minor, "a glorious work, serving as the crescendo for the whole season."
And quite a season it will be, Pfutzenreuter's 29th with the orchestra. Asked about his position, he replies, "It's the conductor's job to be the link between the soloist and the orchestra. The conductor watches and listens to the orchestra, pays attention to the tempo, and makes sure the players speed down and slow up at same time." Because of its large and complex nature, "an orchestra needs a translator; no one person can see it all. I am like a translator in time."
Although officially retired from his teaching position at the college, Pfutzenreuter comments that "I don't really feel like I'm retired, because I'm still doing a lot of the things I was doing before." Without the day to day responsibilities of a professor, "I can just do the fun stuff. This doesn't seem like work to me." All those who are fortunate enough to work with Pfutzenreuter would tend to agree.
Season tickets for the 2018-19 Ukiah Symphony Season are $90 for ages 18 to 64, and $30 for a single concert; $75 for age 65 and up and $25 for a single concert; and free for ASB card holders and everyone under 18. (Buying a season ticket is like hearing four concerts for the cost of three.) Season tickets and single tickets are available at www.ukiahsymphony.org; single tickets are also sold one month prior to each concert at the Mendocino Book Company at 102 S. School St. in Ukiah. All concerts take place at the Mendocino College Center Theatre in Ukiah, with free parking and wheelchair access. For further information please call the Ukiah Symphony hotline at 707 462-0236.
The Ukiah Symphony's sponsors, program advertisers and donors make it possible to bridge the gap between ticket sales and concert expenses, which average $15,000-18,000 per concert. Those interested in helping to support the Symphony may now make a donation online at www.ukiahsymphony.org.
Sponsors for the 2018-19 season are Adventist Health Ukiah Valley; Drs. Larry Falk and Margaret Arner; Robert Axt; Dr. Andrew I.

Mental Coping Tips to Use on Days When You Find it Difficult to Care
By Pamela D Wilson CSA, CG, MS, BS/BA
Professional caregivers experience daily challenges whether the challenge be a resistant patient or resident, interacting with a difficult co-worker or a problem that seems out of your control and without a solution. When stress is ongoing, compassion fatigue may result. The dictionary describes compassion fatigue as exhaustion, emotional distress or apathy resulting from the constant demands of caring for others. What professional caregiver, on any given day, hasn't felt a little like this? Some days, caregiving can seem like an uphill battle.
In the realm of professional caregiving, apathy can be dangerous. You work in a nursing home and walk by a resident in a room crying out for help because if you do help you realize you might lose your patience. You notice a red area on a client's tailbone area while changing clothing and fail to document the concern that later turns into a raging bedsore. Residents and patients are at risk when professional caregivers become apathetic.
What actions might you take in this type of situation to ensure that on days when you feel less than caring your actions do not place a resident or patient at risk of harm? How might the idea of creative coping help refresh a tired or apathetic mind?
Read on and you will see how using creative coping tips will allow you to feel great on days when other people or situations might try to drag you down.
Our thoughts are flexible and ever changing. How many times have you experienced a good or bad day quickly turn the opposite as the result of words someone said to you or the actions of another person that you perceived to be negative? Understanding how this quick turn of the switch affects our brains is one idea to utilizing creative coping skills in difficult or challenging situations.
If you watch the movie clip in the article, Alzheimer's Disease and the Power of Music, you are quickly able to see how a catalyst – music on an I-pod – significantly brightened a person's life. Insight into aspects of our own lives that make us happy is helpful into quickly turning the switch of our brain from apathy and negativity to positivity.
Pour thoughts into your brain of happy events. Are you able to remember how you felt when being offered your first job, buying a puppy, graduating from college, meeting your husband, wife or partner or another event that made you ecstatically blissful. How do these thoughts this make you feel?
Knowing that you have the ability to feel positive and happy, why would you allow an outside event or person to change your positive feelings to negative? As Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "no one can make you feel inferior without your consent." Are you willing to give the power of your mind over to events or people that inspire negativity and that make you feel less than positive?
While, challenging situations to occur that result in compassion fatigue, as with anything it is how we mentally and physically respond to these challenges through mental and physical activity.
How many of you remember the television program Ally McBeal, the multi-sex bathroom and the attorneys dancing to a singing Barry White? For a trip down memory lane to watch a clip from Ally McBeal, Click Here:
We all possess the mental ability to quickly remove ourselves from a situation that may be frustrating. It's likely you've done this before without realizing. How many times have you sat in a meeting and imagined yourself somewhere else or doing something else to the point that when you were asked a question you had no idea of the context because your mind was somewhere else?
If you practice, it is possible to train your brain to do the same in the middle of situations of negativity or apathy. Take a 5 minute break and go outside to bask in the sunshine, carry an I-Pod and listen to a favorite song even if you have to do this while hiding in a bathroom stall (think Ally McBeal), think of a memory that made you feel good and bring all of these good feelings into your brain.
Rather than allowing the dial in your brain to remain at -10, turn the switch to +10 and reverse the effect of outside situations. Only you can make the choice about how you respond on days when coping seems difficult and when caring is a challenge.

TENAFLY — Jason Alvator was approaching the second course of a five-course Christmas Eve dinner with his family when the doorbell rang. At the door was Peter Rustin, the mayor of Tenafly, with an unexpected request.
"I thought he was here to thank me for doing such a great job with the luminaries," said Alvator.
He was referring to the roughly 300 luminaries that lined leafy Joyce Road at dusk on Christmas Eve, a communal effort Alvator had undertaken with several neighbors and neighborhood kids. Alvator's father did it when he was a kid and he wanted to revive the tradition, which he says is non-religious and demonstrates community spirit. Neighbors from a number of different faiths participated, he said.
But Rustin had a different reason for knocking on the second-year resident's door.
"He was there to be the bearer of bad news – he said I would have to remove all the luminaries because one of my neighbors complained [that] as a Jew he took grave offense to the lights."
According to Alvator, Rustin said that while he thought the luminaries were "beautiful" and was not personally offended, he, as a fellow Jew, could understand why one would take offense.
Since the Christmas Eve chat, the story has gone somewhat viral, framed as an example of the purported "War on Christmas" on Breitbart.com. Rustin has received emails from all corners of the United States asking, "What type of town is Tenafly, exactly?"
Alvator and Rustin both agree that the mayor said a Jewish neighbor complained that the luminary was on the street in front of his property. That's mostly where the similarities to their stories end. Alvator says Rustin never mentioned any ordinances were broken. Rustin says he did.
Rustin says the request to have the luminaries removed on Christmas Eve had nothing to do with religion or religious tolerance.
"The reality of it is he put 200-300 luminaries in the street and you're not allowed to place anything in our streets without permission," Rustin told NJ.com. "He has since claimed he got permission from the police and fire department, but that's not true."
If every homeowner agreed to the presence of a luminary in front of their home and Alvator sought permission from the council and was granted it, Rustin said he would have no problem with the display.
"The reality is he did something wrong and rather than apologizing, he's shining a bad light on me," Rustin said, adding that he's "disappointed" that Tenafly is being falsely thought of as a non-progressive town as a result of the publicity.
Alvator says his family's Christmas was "dampened" by the demand to remove the luminaries during dinner. "It was inappropriate of the mayor to do," he said, noting that he believes Rustin overstepped the bounds of his authority.
Alvator still intends to light the luminaries with neighbors next year. It won't be in the street though. He says he and his neighbors will be placing them squarely on private property.

I know, the title of the post is so cliche', yet when I needed a Knight in Armor to help me as I was stranded on the side of the road with a flat yesterday. Not a single one arrived.
I was SHOCKED! Here is why:
1. I was stranded on the side of the highway that connects the two "small" towns that we live between. Hundreds of vehicles passed me.
2. I was there for over an hour, fumbling with a car jack, looking quite clueless.
3. I look VERY girly. I'm not one of those tough looking girls that could use power tools or something. I wear dresses and make up and am sadly not at all buff. One of my best friends IS however one of those buff power tool kinda girls, and she WOULD have stopped.
4. I was driving a little white chick car (my husbands words not mine).
5. Here is the big one... Dozens of cars that drove by KNEW ME. Anyone that knows me could easily guess, I don't know how to change a tire (or even know where to find my car jack). They could have guessed that I was on my way to pick my kids up at school (as I was only 2 miles away from it and the school day was about to end).
Not ONE person stopped to see if I needed help. Not one offer of a phone call. Nothing. I actually had several people stop me later and ask how the car troubles went (because they saw me stranded on the road). "Fine, no thanks to you!" Didn't actually say it, but I thought it REALLY hard.
Now I can't change a tire, but I'd like to think if I saw a woman on the side of the road, I'd at least stop and ask if I could call someone. I HAVE stopped before for an elderly couple, and my husband stops for EVERYONE!
My mother raised both me AND my brother to think of others in need. To this day I am still amazed by the way my brother will reach out to help a stranger. So I guess I foolishly have the same standards for others.
This entire experience brings back memories of our last flat tire several years ago. We were on the way to my mom's house for the weekend and traveling along the Washington State freeways. We had 4 kids and a cat in our mini van. The tire blew and we ended up on the side of the freeway trying to put on a spare. Again no one stopped. Nearly an hour passed as the cars zoomed by, and all I could think was "people suck". Then finally a small pick up truck with an old Asian man pulled up behind us. My heart swelled. I thought to myself, "so this is what a TRUE hero looks like"! As he got out of his truck, he turned away from our vehicle unzipped his pants and peed. Yup, you heard me right. HE PEED! Then he hopped back in his truck and drove away. I can't even share my thought with y'all on this one. I'm trying to keep my blog rated PG-13 here.
Now we get to the "Well Almost" part of the title. Someone did come to my rescue. Someone called the school, got my kids, picked me up, replaced my flat, AND bought me cold meds (I forgot to mention I was quite sick during this whole ordeal). The REAL hero of this story is my husband.
So, while it may seem that Chivalry is dead, there ARE a few knights in shinning armor still out there (or maybe knights in business suits wearing Tommy Bahama cologne). Oh and yes, he DID change my tire in his suit!
I know my husband, and he didn't only come to my rescue because I'm his wife, that's just what he does. Like I mentioned earlier, he stops for EVERYONE. I can't tell you how many times we have been late because he stopped by the side of the road to help a commuter in need. I LOVE that about him. In a world with so few willing to take the time... I married one of the last true heroes!

Chivalry IS Dead...Well Almost

Yay for your husband. Mine is like that too. I knew how to change a tire in my teens- on my boyfriend's jacked up 4x4 even- this reminds me to brush up on my skills, as I don't know if I would be so sure now.

You are so right. Yay for your hubby!! It reminds me of a few months back when I had a dead battery. I tried (in a parking lot) to get help for over an hour before a guy was finally willing to help me. And then he just had jumper cables but I had to show him how to use them! I so hope to raise sons who will know how to help rescue someone ;)

Maybe it is because the bitterness that has been building up. Is starting to show on the outside. Honestly Karly. You never respond to emails. Your last few blogs have become very bitter. I can feel your contempt for the human race (all of us) in your words.
If that is how you come across to your fellow town members, why on earth would they even want to deal with you?
Why do I even read your blogs? Because years ago, you were a very dear friend. I know, you just tolerated me. I'm not stupid. Yet I liked going to the womens groups with you and was even saved at the prayer group. Something I thought would never happen in my lifetime. That was HUGE to me.
Now, everytime I tried to set up a time to come visit, it was always something. You had moved away and didn't have to entertain my friendship any longer.
Bottom line, I was rejected.
Is that how you treat your fellow town members?
Still your friend

My hubby is the same way...and I'm so thankful the Lord blessed me with him. He helps people ALL THE TIME, to the point where it often infringes on family time. But I don't mind so much, because it's truly a ministry.

I've had the same thing happen, only add to your scenario a car FULL of 4 young children. Now, what grown man could drive by a woman with 4 small toddlers? (This was Kalama...people drive slow in that town...they had plenty of time to see me.)
Finally a very young guy pushed me out of the way. I was in the middle of an intersection.
Most drove around me...I was in THEIR way. :)
yep, chivalry is dying. We just have to train our sons to keep it going. right?

aww Karlie, I'm sorry no one stopped to help you...so many times I drive by people and don't stop. Usually I will call the police unless I see the person is already on a cell phone.

text: Lüt Posted June 12, 2001 OK, this is my first time trying this. Why do I have to make the sectors weird shapes to get them to work right? Is this some sort of issue with the prefabs? Like, whenever I make a rectangular sector attached to anything, it adds a 4th line, no matter if there is already a 4th line or not. Then it breaks it into 2 sectors and I gotta redefine those. BUT if I draw a triangle in the same situation, and expand it into a rectangle later on, it works fine. 0 Share this post Link to post

Pantone is the world leader when it comes to both researching and setting trends in color. Each season, the so-called Pantone Color Institute creates their "Pantone Fashion Color Trend Report" that lists the top colors that were featured during the international fashion weeks. This report is the most important "guide" that sets the color trends that will be huge in the upcoming season.
Why is this important? Well, if you're thinking about redecorating your home, or have wanted to make that bold fashion statement, these specific colors are a key indicator of the ones that will soon show up all across the board in both fashion and design. Keep these hues in mind with this easily accessible guide to the season's most important color trends so you can stay ahead of the curve.
Here is the top 10 Fall/Winter 2018 color palette!
Red Pear
A deep red with a luscious depth:
Valiant Poppy
A brave and outgoing shade of red, effusive in its allure:
Nebulas Blue
This starry-eyed blue is reminiscent of twilight:
Lemon Curry
This savory and spicy yellow adds an exotic touch:
Martini Olive
This smooth, sophisticated and urbane green adds depth to the palette:

Two Types of Ankle SprainsMonday, 20 January 2020 00:00
If you have endured an ankle sprain, it may have happened as a result of suddenly rolling your ankle. This can occur from stepping off of a curb unexpectedly, or from tripping on an unseen object. An eversion sprain generally targets the inner part of the ankle, and may affect the arch of the foot. If the ankle rolls outward, it is known as an inversion sprain, and may cause the ligaments to stretch or tear. There are common symptoms that are associated with ankle sprains. These can include severe pain and discomfort, swelling, and it may be difficult to move or bend the ankle. Moderate relief can be found if the affected foot is taped with an elastic bandage, and this may help to provide the support that is needed as the healing process takes place. If you have sprained your ankle, it is strongly suggested that you seek the counsel of a podiatrist who can guide you toward the correct treatment.
Ankle sprains are common but need immediate attention. If you need your feet checked, contact one of our podiatrists from Foot Health Center of Merrimack Valley. Our doctors can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.
How Does an Ankle Sprain Occur?
Ankle sprains take place when the ligaments in your ankle are torn or stretched beyond their limits. There are multiple ways that the ankle can become injured, including twisting or rolling over onto your ankle, putting undue stress on it, or causing trauma to the ankle itself.
What Are the Symptoms?
- Mild to moderate bruising
- Limited mobility
- Swelling
- Discoloration of the skin (depending on severity)
Preventing a Sprain
- Wearing appropriate shoes for the occasion
- Stretching before exercises and sports
- Knowing your limits
Treatment of a Sprain
Treatment of a sprain depends on the severity. Many times, people are told to rest and remain off their feet completely, while others are given an air cast. If the sprain is very severe, surgery may be required.
If you have suffered an ankle sprain previously, you may want to consider additional support such as a brace and regular exercises to strengthen the ankle.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact one of our offices located in North Andover, and Tewksbury, MA. We offer the newest diagnostic and treatment technologies for all your foot and ankle needs.Read more about Ankle Sprains

How frustrating can dentures be?
They can fall out when you are talking to someone.
They can slip out of place when you are trying to eat.
Sometimes, your only hope of keeping them in place is putting gooey denture adhesives in your mouth, but that's only a temporary fix at best.
With time, dentures can become uncomfortable, even painful to wear, and eventually, you have to replace them or get them refitted.
And then the cycle of frustration begins again.
We don't want you to feel frustrated by your dentures. Instead, we want you to have a more permanent teeth replacement option. At our dentist office in Woodbury, MN, you can get dental implants instead.
And just as important, you can get your implants from Dr. Mark W. Wilhelm.
We'll explain why dental implants — and where you get them — are important below. For now, just remember that you can call (651) 319-9064 or contact us online if you would like to find out if dental implants are right for you.
What Dental Implants Can Do
We won't rehash all the little ways dentures can become a bother, but we do want to try to explain why those problems are inevitable with traditional dentures. This also will help explain why dental implants can improve the benefits you get from your dentures.
If you have dentures, then you have already lost multiple teeth. Your dentures weren't designed to be loose-fitting and uncomfortable. In all likelihood, they probably fit pretty well when you first got them.
The problem is something you can't see, and therefore, may not realize is happening. When you lost your teeth, you also lost the connection to your jawbone. Without roots in your jawbone, you start losing bone tissue gradually.
Over time, this bone loss changes the shape of your mouth, and that changes how your dentures fit. This is why dentures can become looser and even irritating at times. This is why you need more or stronger adhesives to hold your "teeth" in place.
And even if the adhesive is working, how much does it change the taste of your food?
Dental implants can stop the bone loss and can eliminate your need for denture adhesives in the future.
Implants replace the roots of your lost teeth. Like your roots, dental implants are placed directly into your jawbone. That is important for preserving the bone tissue you have left and preventing future bone loss.
When placed correctly, a series of dental implants will provide stability, security, and strength for your dentures. With a set of implant-supported dentures, you will be able to eat nearly as well as someone with a full set of healthy teeth.
And just as important, you won't be worried that your "teeth" will fall out while you are reading a story to your grandchildren, talking to family and friends, or trying to place your order when you are dining out.
Why You Should Visit Us To Talk About Implants
It starts with Dr. Wilhelm. Specifically, it is because Dr. Wilhelm is a prosthodontist, which is a dentist who specializes in restoring teeth and fixing jaw structures.
In addition to their dental school education, prosthodontists have completed additional education in how to treat dental and facial problems. As a result, prosthodontists are better suited for placing dental implants so patients receive the maximum benefits from this procedure.
Dr. Wilhelm completed graduated from the Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine. Then he went to Indiana University for specialty training in prosthodontics and maxillofacial prosthetics.
He has made continuing education a part of his professional practice as well.
He has achieved Fellowship status at the Misch Implant Institute. More recently, he was awarded Mentor status and was named a Recognized Specialist for work he completed at the Kois Center. He also is a Diplomate with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists.
To put it another way, Dr. Wilhelm has never stopped learning, and he has been recognized by his peers for his expertise in his field.
