Discover the telltale signs that you might need to get root canal treatment.
If there is a problem going on with your oral health it's important that you get the problem treated as soon as possible. As you might know, ignoring or leaving dental issues untreated can end up leading to more serious complications such as tooth and bone loss. This is why our Somerdale and Camden County, NJ, dentists Dr. Joseph Sullivan and Dr. Jeffrey Turner are here to provide you with common warning signs that could mean that you need root canal therapy.
Why might I need root canal treatment?
This procedure is recommended if the dental pulp (a structure found inside a tooth) is inflamed or diseased. This happens when decay, infection, or direct trauma was significant enough to penetrate the hard enamel layers and affect the inside of the tooth. Once the pulp has been infected the only option is to have it removed.
If this problem isn't addressed, the infection or bacteria will continue to spread to the tooth's roots and the surrounding bone, which can lead to bone and tooth loss.
How do I know that I need root canal treatment?
Unfortunately, it isn't always obvious. So, no matter how healthy your smile might seem it's still crucial for everyone to visit their Camden County, NJ general dentist twice a year for checkups. Even if you aren't experiencing symptoms we have the skills and training to be able to pinpoint problems right away that you could easily miss.
Of course, there are certain symptoms that can still arise that could tip you off to the fact that something is wrong. You will want to come in right away if you experience any of these issues,
- A toothache that is severe or appears suddenly
- Dental pain that is made worse by chewing, biting down or putting pressure on the tooth
- Swollen, inflamed, red or tender gums around the tooth
- Increased or sudden sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks (you may also notice that the affected tooth is more sensitive to sugar)
- Tooth discoloration or darkening
- The development of a pimple-like growth on the gums (this is a sign of infection)
Here at Sullivan & Turner we believe that everyone in Camden County, NJ, should get the proper dental care they need. Whether you just need to schedule your upcoming dental cleaning or you are dealing with these symptoms above, don't hesitate to call us today to schedule an appointment.

Last night's showdown between two red-hot Eastern Conference teams seemed to be no problem for the Boston Celtics as they rolling through the Indiana Pacers 135-108.
The four game home stand was something the Celtics needed after winning one out of four games on their West coast road trip two weeks ago. Boston have now won four straight and are 15-5 at TD Garden. They play a back-to-back today as they take their talents to South Beach and play the Miami Heat.
Boston's Depth on Full Display
At the start of the season the talk around the league was the amount of talent the Celtics have, they have eight legit starting caliber players and last night's victory showed that. The Pacers were out gunned yesterday, even with their talented duo of Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis. Boston had seven players that reached double figures, which now makes it four consecutive games where at least five players have scored in double figures.
The team was led by Marcus Morris and Jaylen Brown, who each scored 22 points to go along with eight and seven rebounds. Jayson Tatum showed out offensively as he scored 20 points while shooting 60 percent from the field on 9-of-15 shots. Another positive takeaway was the performance of Gordon Hayward, who has been more consistent on the offensive end over the last couple of games. He finished with 14 points on 5-of-7 from the field.
It was one of those games that allowed Kyrie Irving to take a break offensively, he played only 24 minutes and scored only 12 points. Al Horford also had a laid-back night, playing only 18 minutes and chipped in with six points and eight assists.
The True Test for Boston Begins in the Coming Weeks
Since airing out their frustrations after the loss to Milwaukee back in December, the Celtics are now 7-2 over their last nine games with their only losses coming to the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs. The home stretch provided an extra boost of confidence for the Celtics, but in the upcoming weeks they will play legit championship contenders like the Toronto Raptors, the Golden State Warriors, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Celtics and Raptors will square-off on Wednesday at TD Garden. Their even at 1-1 over their last two meetings with Boston taking the second game in overtime when Irving exploded for 43 points.
A potential NBA Finals match-up with the Warriors will take place on Saturday the 26th, as both teams continue to get back to playing championship level basketball. Although the Celtics could be one of the first teams to face a returning DeMarcus Cousins with Golden State, as he's scheduled to return from an Achilles tear in mid-to-late January.

Optimism is the buzz from Europe, so it makes sense that looking on the bright side is very literally the beauty message, too. Cheery, supercharged, superglossed lips were the word on Milan's runways, where sunny Crayola brights provided a refreshing alternative to the well-worn classic red. Models with tangerine-lacquered lips, courtesy of Pat McGrath, blazed down the runway at Prada (center). Over at Bottega (left), it was a burst of crisp magenta that took center stage on canvases of flawless skin (again, the handiwork of McGrath), while at Missoni (right), mouths came up poppy-pink. By happy coincidence, they're shades that almost perfectly match the five electric glosses in Make Up for Ever's Glossy Full Couleur lineup. Fuchsia Pink—sheer, but it packs punch—is this department's clear favorite. Make Up For Ever glossy full couleur, $19 Sephora.com

Joe Jackson
Live Music - Europe 2010 (2LP)
Double LP $23.52
Release Date: 02/06/2017
Discs: 2
Joe Jackson went back on the road at the end of 2010, playing shows as trio (with Graham Maby on bass and Dave Houghton on drums) all over Europe. Without any new product to promote, he ended up playing a big number of sold out shows, with the usual great response from his devoted fans. As always, Joe Jackson enriched songs spanning his whole career with new arrangements, making the old songs "new", once again.
Classics like 'Steppin' Out', 'Got The Time' or 'A Slow Song' but also original cover versions of some of his idols' tunes - David Bowie's 'Scary Monsters', 'Inbetweenies' by Ian Dury and The Blockheads and a stunning version of The Beatles' 'Girl' with Joe Jackson alone on piano and vocals. The title "Live Music" is not accidental. Even if mixed with extreme care (the sound is warm and rich) the performances you can hear on this record are exactly what happened on stage - a rare thing in an era of re-recorded live albums. Definitely, one of the best documents of Joe Jackson live, giving you the feeling to be away only a few meters from the stage.
The songs are all pop masterpieces and the musicianship is spectacular.

|Personal Profile
|Rino (Younger Sister)
|Special Info
|Student (Formerly)
|Media Appearances
|Manga Debut
|Chapter 7
Ren (蓮,Ren), also formerly known as the Gentōryū(嚴濤竜; lit. Stern Billow Dragon) during her time at Nangokuren High School. Being the elder sister of Rino, Ren almost achieved supremacy at the violent school just before her graduation and had a fierce rivalry with Hatenko Meru, before befriending her.[1]
Ren is a tall figure with grey hair tied in twin pigtails,and like her sister she also has green eyes, along with another tie wrapped around her left thigh (the said tie was given to Meru). She also often equips her sword as her main weapon.
As one of the toughest warriors, Ren is serious whenever she fought anyone stronger than her. That doesn't stop her to like things that a normal girl likes, and she even like some videogames (according to herself, she's supposedly good in tetris).
She also has a habit of changing her clothes during battle whenever her clothes are torn (even with the smallest tear). Despite her strong integrity as well as toughness, Ren has troubles with men due to her assumptions that men are perverse beings (which she claims that all men are trying to flirt with her, which she considered as vulgar). As a result, she cannot even speak to boys face-to-face and turns away from them, though she doesn't seem to have any problems with disrobing in front of Rintaro without any feelings of shame.
However, due to her friendship with Meru, she has taken an interest, if not a crush, in Rintaro, as well as his skills. She becomes flustered and shy everytime Meru jokes about Ren's will to see Rintaro as soon as possible.
At some point Ren joined Nangokuren High School and attended the school for 3 years. During her third year, she had fought against Meru and then became friends with her. Her fight with Meru would also inspired by the young Kyōka, who was a bookworm at her time. While surrounded by a bunch of thugs in a hidden ally and have them beaten without any effort, Ren would see Kyōka come at her to oversee the problem. Just as Kyōka would sense a brute is approaching from behind , Ren would tell her the instructions of dodge and counter attack against the Brute, which she witness the junior managed to give a brute a strong blow. Seeing that the book worm has the talents of a warrior, Ren would give her a compliment and encourage Kyōka to seek her own path while issue a battle against Kyōka. [2] Sometime later, Ren and Meru had fought one last time which result in a draw. Ren then introduces Meru to her sister Rino and have her work with Rino.
Encounter and Rivalry with the TigerEdit
Meru talks to Rintaro and Ayane about Ren and how she is the older sister of Rino and almost conquered Nangokuren High School. Ren and Meru were rivals for a long time and formed a friendly rivalry as soon as they find things in common, like phone straps and some games. By Ren's last year in Nangokuren, she challenged Meru to a last fight which results in a draw. Ren comments about how her younger sister, Rino, changed into a cold person with a goal to conquer Nangokuren, something that Ren wasn't able to accomplish. Knowing how shallow is the feeling of be alone at the top, Ren asks Meru to take care of Rino and they form the "Covenant of Hagen", with Ren's thigh tie as a symbol.
Ren ReturnsEdit
It is later shown that Ren began her covert return to the academy at the end of the Bakugyaku Festival, while watching Ayane's mentor from above, unknown to him. While pursuing clues to a underwear thief, Rintaro found Ren and mistakes her for the culprit. Ignoring Rintaro's questions, Ren would glide away with her blade and the chase begins until they reached the courtyard. She then sliced the statue in pieces and tossed a barrage of boulders towards Rintaro. While standing away from the rubble, Ren noticed that Rintaro escaped the barrage and assumed if his has used the "earthworm" skill. Even with Rintaro interrogation, Ren digressed Rintaro question while changes her clothes immediately after her's tore a little. After changing clothes, Ren told Rintaro that he stared too long while blushed.
During the conversation with Rintaro, Ren's receiving a phone call from Meru about her odd conversation before she hung up. She then tells Rintaro the reason for her to have troubles to men is because she thought men are trying to flirt her, which she considered vulgar. Ren was welcomed by all the girls in the academy and reunited with the Year 3 students (Misa, Choco and Kyōka). She then "helps" Rintaro in his search for the culprit behind the underwear theft by taking one of the underwears to him, much to Rintaro's displeasure.
After Rintaro defeats Marokichi by using his "eel", Meru arrived and asked Ren regarding her reasons to be in the school, to which she replies that she wanted to test "Rin-chan" as a worthy inheritor of the "Covenant of Hagen" and she wastes no time to tell she acknowledges Rintaro's merit. Ren asks him to take care of Rino, but threatens Rintaro to not make her sister his wife. Subsequently, Ren stares Rintaro with a smile without feeling uncomfortable, so Meru teases about Ren herself want to be Rintaro's wife, to what she blushes strongly. Ren recomposes herself and notifies she will come more often to Nangokuren (to see Rintaro, according to Meru). However, Rintaro told her that he would not be in the school for the summer vacations. Meru express her disappointment, Ren scolds her for bothering Rintaro and they start a fight, while Rintaro go away from them.
Battle RoyaleEdit
With the war for the royal seal between 2nd year and 3rd year students causing havoc, Rintaro stops Kyōka and Rino's fight and announces his application for Dragon. Along with Meru, Ren arrives to test him again and, once more time, recognizes Rintaro as someone worthy.
Relationships Edit
Meru - Her rival and best friend. They were the strongest at the school before the dragons. Finding they actually have things in common besides fighting, they formed a friendship and they had a last duel before Ren graduates from Nangokuren, forging the "Covenant of Hagen" for Rino's sake. Despite some mutual bickering, they are as close as sisters.
Kyoka - Ren was the main reason why Kyoka left her "honor student" persona to be what she is today. She convinced Kyoka to be herself for the first time in a while and they soon established a rivalry until Ren left the school.
Rino - Ren's younger sister, Rino looked up to her older sister, but, in some point, she became cold and basically turned away from Ren to accomplish what her sister couldn't to do: be at the top of Nangokuren. Rino's drastic change of attitude was what made Ren forge the "Covenant of Hagen" with Meru.
Rintaro - Meru sent Ren to the school to ask Rintaro's aid about the Gentoryu's problem with men. Ren's actual objective, though, it was to check if Rintaro was an worthy successor of the "Covenant of Hagen". Unimpressed by him at first, Ren soon witnessed Rintaro's prowess and disposition to go as far as he can for his friends. She not only approves him as someone worthy to keep Rino in check, but, as Meru noticed, Rintaro is the first man who Ren actually put her "fussy eyes". She can have a crush on him, but keeps defensive and ashamed about it. She wants to come more often to Nangokuren to see him, though.
Ren was once the strongest student at Nangokuren High School and had almost conquered the school.
- Expert Swordswoman: Ren was shown to be an excellent swordswoman and was able to hold her ground against Meru. When Ren returned to Nangokuren High School she displayed swordsmanship that utilizes spinning motions where she effortlessly destroyed concrete structures around the school when Rintaro had pursued her.
- Keen Analysis: Ren is very observant and perceptive as shown when she was the only one able to deduce the mechanism behind Rintaro's Sumibi Gyūkaku technique being similar to a stuck knife splitting a bullet when it's shot at the knife while all the other observers were puzzled by the technique's execution.
- Dual Headed Broadsword: Ren wields a dual headed blade that she was able to wield perfectly into a battle. The blade also contains a compartment that she uses to store her clothes for her to change with. Interestingly, her signature weapon also served as her odd transportation and glides away.
Personal TechniquesEdit
- Metsugen Ryūsen (滅嚴竜殱, lit. "Ruined Rigid Dragon Massacre"): [3]
- Ren's name is based on the water lotus, the Sacred Lotus, which is also a sacred icon of Buddhism.
- On the Tankōbon cover for the fourth volume Ren's eyes appear light blue, where as in the color centerpiece for Chapter 18 they are green.

Add 50 pounds to your bench in just 6 weeks.
In life, you can be guaranteed three things: death, taxes, and being asked the inevitable question in the weight room: "How much ya bench?"
All of us would like this number to be a little higher; we're never satisfied with the status quo. So, I'm going to give you six tips and a six-week program to add 50 pounds to your bench press.
Something very important about benching that we have to look at before we increase your bench press is how you bench press. Make no mistake, a good bench press number has to be a good bench press, so let's be very clear about some ground rules of a good bench press rep:
• If it doesn't touch your chest, it doesn't count
• If your spotting partner is doing half the weight in an upright row, it doesn't count
• If your partner actually touches the bar, it doesn't count
• If your feet are kicking and flailing around, it doesn't count
If you're going to bench press, let's make it a nice rep.
Now that the ground rules are covered, let's go over six ways to improve your bench press.
The following program matters, but just think for a second about these six tips. If these six tips add 10 pounds each, there's 60 pounds right there on your bench press. Even if they add five pounds each to your bench press, you can increase your bench press by 30 pounds.
It's very common for me to work with one of my athletes and fix one of these things in his bench and watch him add 10 to 20 pounds to a personal best in one workout.
How you bench press matters, and by following these six tips, you're guaranteed to become stronger immediately.
Tip 1: Always Warm Up Properly
I know what you're thinking: Boring. Well, warming up is boring until you blow out your rotator cuff, tear a pec, or hurt yourself. Then you will pay far more attention to your warm-up than before. Trust me, I know. So take 10 to 15 minutes and warm up correctly before getting under the bar. It will make you stronger and also prevent injuries.
Some key points on the warm-up:
• Raise core body temperature; do something to get a little sweat and heart rate going.
• Warm up with training bands when possible.
• Add in mobility work.
• Warm up your whole body, not just your upper body (benching is a full-body exercise when done properly).
• Use this time to warm up your mind as much as your body—start focusing.
Tip 2: Get Set Up Right
Every good lift is made in the setup. If you have a good setup, you'll have a good lift. I can almost watch someone from the liftoff and the setup and see if he's going to get the lift even before the descent of the bar. Never neglect the importance of the setup.
Some key points on the setup:
• Always use the same setup; find a way to set up that works for you and continue with the same approach and setup all the time.
• Treat the bar the same way you would treat 315; it's important to always have the same setup and build good movement patterns.
• Set up so that you can use your whole body with the bench press, not just your upper body.
• Always position yourself on the bench so that your head, shoulders, and glutes have a firm contact with the bench.
• Always position your feet on either side of the bench in such a way that you can dig your heels in and achieve full-body tension.
Tip 3: Grip the Bar Correctly
The contact you make with the bar is very important when benching. Don't neglect this and just grab the bar any way and go.
Some key points on bench press grip:
• Use a full grip, not a false grip (suicide grip).
• Make sure your hands are evenly spaced (this is so basic but important).
• Grip the bar and try to break it.
• White-knuckle the bar; if your knuckles aren't white, you're not squeezing the bar hard enough.
Tip 4: Don't Forget to Breathe Right
This one alone will improve your bench press immediately. Learning how to breathe and how not to breathe during the bench press will make you stronger and improve your lift and decrease the chance of injury immediately. It's one of the first things I fix with my clients because it can make them so much stronger.
Some key points on breathing for bench pressing:
• Take a big, deep breath into the chest at the top of the rep.
• Hold your breath during the lift.
• Breathe out only on the top half to third of the lift; otherwise, keep your breath and don't lose it.
• For low reps (1–5), reset your breath every rep.
Tip 5: Pull the Bar Down
A big mistake I see with people when bench pressing is that they passively lower the bar to the chest. Big mistake. You can't see them, but all those big muscles behind you are very important when benching. The more you can activate the antagonistic muscles when bench pressing, the stronger you'll be. Get your lats and traps fired when you bench.
Some key points on pulling the bar down:
• Be sure to pull the bar down as though you were doing an overhand row; don't let the bar just drop to your chest.
• Squeeze your lats and shoulders together as you pull, creating tension in the upper back.
• Pull your shoulders back and pinch them as if there were a pencil between your lats.
Tip 6: Train for Speed
If you want to be strong, you have to be fast—period. So, when training bench press, be sure to train AFAP (as fast as possible) unless you are doing a tempo-based program.
Some key points on bench press speed:
• Train as fast as possible in the warm-up (even with the bar).
• Condition yourself to train fast.
• As you get heavier, the bar may not be moving as fast, but your goal is to move it as fast as you can.
There you have it—six tips for a bigger bench press and a six-week program designed to increase your bench press strength and technical ability. Be sure to really focus on improving technique, and your strength will go up. As well, be sure to take rest days; they're important for your training and strength. I know that with this program and these tips, adding 50 pounds or more to your bench press in six weeks will happen.
Train hard and smart and stay strong.
The Bigger & Badder Bench Program
I like to keep my training programs simple. It's important to have a goal in training, and every six-week block I usually like to focus on one goal and one goal only.
For the next six weeks, your goal is to get stronger on bench press while keeping injuries to a minimum. That's not an excuse to skip leg day, but the priority is your bench press.
The goal is to add 5 to 10 pounds to your Day 1 rep scheme on every Monday.
Day 1: Bench and Upper Back Day
Warm up: 10–15 min.
A1. Flat bench press: 5 sets warm-up, then lift the following rep scheme for the same weight:
5 reps, 4 reps, 3 reps, 2 reps, 1 rep
B1. Heavy bent-over rows: 5 sets of 8 reps
C1. TRX T's / C2. TRX Y's / C3. TRX W's: Superset 3 sets of 8–12 reps of each exercise
D1. Plyometric push-ups: 3 sets of 8 reps
E1. Single-arm dumbbell or kettlebell suitcase carry: 3 sets of 1 minute each
Day 2: Rest
(Active Recovery) I don't like full rest days, so use this time for some light sled work, bodyweight workout, mobility—nothing heavy, but do something to recharge.
Day 3: Legs
A1. Squats: 5 sets of 12–15 reps
B1. Stiff-legged deadlifts: 5 sets of 5 reps
C1. Walking lunges: 3 sets of 15 lunges per leg
D1. Hamstring curls: 5 sets of 5 reps
E1. Farmer's carry: 3 sets of 1 minute each
Day 4: Rest
(Active Recovery) Same as Day 2. Do some sled work, bodyweight, mobility etc.
Day 5: Light Bench (Technical Bench Day)* and Arms
*This workout is not about going heavy. It's about working the six tips above to improve technique. This is critical.
A1. Bar bench press: 5 sets of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, but not heavy
B1. Lying dumbbell triceps extensions:
5 sets of 10 reps
Rest 30 seconds
B2. Seated incline
hammer curls:
5 sets of 10 reps
C1. Zotman curls:
5 sets of 8 reps
Rest 30 seconds
C2. Triceps push-downs:
5 sets of 20 reps
D1. Suitcase carry:
3 sets of 1 minute each
Day 6 & 7: Rest
(Active Recovery) Same as Day 2. Do some sled work, bodyweight workout, mobility, etc.

Do We Need A New Constitution?
Larry J. Sabato, a professor of politics at the University of Virginia, seems to think so, and he's even written a book about it. However, some of his complaints indicate that he simply doesn't understand that the document was designed for different purposes than he wishes it to be:
The Senate is horribly undemocratic. Because each state elects exactly two senators, thinly-peopled rural states wield disproportionate influence. If the 26 smallest ones stick together, they have a majority of votes despite representing only 17% of Americans. Mr Sabato wants to restore some fairness by giving extra senators to big states.
Actually, Larry, the Senate was designed for the system of federalism, where the goal was for States to keep Washington from running roughshod over their jurisdiction just because more populous states wanted something. Granted, the 17th Amendment and most of the New Deal and beyond have turned the States into little more than lines on a map, since everything now IS run from Washington. But the point of the Senate was not to be "democratic", it was to offer a place where more cool-headed people beholden to State interests rather than directly to the public could temper the fluctuating flame of shifting public demands.
Not content with rejigging the building blocks of government, Mr Sabato also wants to lay constitutional obligations on individual citizens. All able-bodied young Americans should have to do two years of national service, he argues, either in the army or pursuing some other public good.
Ahh, I see, because his desire is to ensure that, beyond all the conditioning that our students receive in the [unconstitutional] public schooling they endure until age 18, the needs to brainwash them further into the "social contract" by imposing unnecessary obligations onto them. After all, if you start them young enough, you can teach them that freedom means only what Larry Sabato believes it means. If he really wanted to solve this one, he could do so quite easily be repealing the 13th Amendment. Not that I think Larry would get a lot of love if he put that on a bumper sticker, though!
But all this dances around the second problem. A few of Sabato's suggestions were good, such as finding a way to reduce gerrymandering of districts, which turn House seats into fiefdoms. And his call is not for some halfway approach to the problem.
But Mr Sabato does not want us to pick one or two of his suggestions. He wants to call a second constitutional convention to rethink the entire document bar the Bill of Rights. The current approach of piecemeal amendments is not working, he says. Very few pass, and many that are proposed are foolish: think of the amendment to ban flag-burning. No, what America needs is a grand meeting of clever and high-minded people to draw up a new, improved constitution better suited to the 21st century.
A "grand meeting of clever and high-minded people"? I'm sure a lot of "politics professors" will be invited to such a thing.
I thought, a year or two ago, that perhaps the answer is another Constitutional Convention. I thought that we've misinterpreted the document so horribly that it might be time to spell out the limits on government that our Constitution enshrines explicitly, to take these decisions out of the hands of Supreme Court justices that constantly stretch the meaning of the document to fit ever-wider government. But there's a problem with that approach. The type of people I would want to write the new Constitution probably wouldn't be allowed in the room, and we'd end up with a document that enshrines "positive liberty" and obligations on individuals that make our current Leviathan seem like the Ritz Carlton.
We don't need a new Constitution, and the call to create one is an invitation to velvet-gloved tyranny.

WE SLEEP – John Carpenter's 'They Live' as Prophecy (video essay)
Love this video essay from filmmaker (and former Buddhist Studies scholar) Daniel Clarkson Fisher. Perhaps you will, too. It's great stuff, excellently conceived and executed. Perhaps I don't agree with absolutely all of the political statements made in it. But I agree with enough of them. And anyway, it's about Carpenter's They Live. So what else matters?
From the included interviews:
Slavov Zizek: They Live from 1988 is definitely one of the forgotten masterpieces of the Hollywood Left. It tells the story of John Nada — nada, of course, in Spanish, means "nothing," a pure subject deprived of all substantial content — a homeless worker in L.A. who, drifting around, one day enters an abandoned church and finds there a strange box full of sunglasses. And when he puts one of them on, walking along the L.A. streets, he discovers something weird: that these glasses function like "critique of ideology" glasses. They allow you to see the real message beneath all the propaganda, publicity glitz, posters, and so on.
John Carpenter: I was reflecting on a lot of the values that I saw around me at the time, mainly inspired by Ronald Reagan's conservative revolution. There was a great deal of obsession with greed and making a lot of money, and some of the values that I grew up with had been pushed aside. So I decided to scream out in the middle of the night and make a statement about that. And They Live is partially a political statement. It's partially a tract on the world that we live in today. And as a matter of fact, right now it's even more true than it was then.

This week, we bring you a roundup of readings spanning a rainbow of trends and topics, from the collapsing economy to the destruction of modern sociopolitical and cultural myths to the imaginal realm of shamanism, creativity, and mythic descents to the underworld.
More specifically, we have: a report on the U.S. Army's stated criteria for recognizing potential terrorists, and why you and your coworkers probably meet one or more of them; an indictment of the Baby Boomers for destroying America (economically, ecologically) and leaving the wreckage to their children; a deep analysis of the current crack-up in the presiding Western myth of liberal individualism as bequeathed to us all by Adam Smith; an examination of the raging crisis in Western secularism as the implicit religiosity lying beneath the veneer of the secular mind is drawn to the surface; a paean to the lost joys of reading aloud; a scornful take on neuroscientific "discoveries" about the value of reading and the meanings of art; a first-person account of and reflection upon the imaginal and alchemical experience of descending into the underworld for death and reconstitution; and a brilliant exposition of the supreme value of poetic metaphor in the context of the deep linkage between shamanism and creativity.

In a study reported in JAMA Oncology, Shaikh et al found that despite existing recommendations, mismatch repair (MMR)-deficiency testing is underused in patients with colorectal cancer, including younger patients. As noted by the authors, MMR deficiency is observed in up to 15% of sporadic colorectal cancers and is characteristic of Lynch syndrome, which has a higher incidence in younger adults with colorectal cancer.
The study involved National Cancer Database data from 152, 993 adult patients (aged < 30 to ≤ 70 years), including 17,218 younger patents (aged < 30 to 49), with invasive colorectal adenocarcinoma diagnosed between 2010 and 2012 and a known MMR deficiency testing status.
MMR Deficiency Testing
Among all patients, 43,143 (28.2%) underwent MMR deficiency testing, with the proportion increasing from 22.3% to 33.1% between 2010 and 2012 (P < .001). Among the younger adult patients, 7,422 (43.1%) underwent testing, with the proportion increasing from 36.1% to 48.0% between 2010 and 2012 (P < .001).
Factors Associated With Testing
Irrespective of age, factors independently associated with an increased likelihood of testing were higher educational level (odds ratio [OR] = 1.38, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.15–1.66), later diagnosis year (OR = 1.81, 95% CI = 1.65–1.98), early-stage disease (OR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.18–1.30), and number of regional lymph nodes examined (≥ 12; OR = 1.44, 95% CI = 1.34–1.55). Factors associated with a reduced likelihood were older age (OR = 0.31, 95% CI = 0.26–0.37), Medicare (OR = 0.89, 95% CI = 0.84–0.95), Medicaid (OR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.73–0.93), uninsured status (OR = 0.78, 95% CI = 0.66–0.92), nonacademic vs academic/research facility type (OR = 0.44, 95% CI = 0.34–0.56), rectosigmoid or rectal tumor location (OR = 0.76, 95% CI = 0.68–0.86), unknown grade (OR = 0.61, 95% CI = 0.53–0.69), and no receipt of definitive surgery (OR = 0.33, 95% CI = 0.30–0.37).
The investigators concluded: "Despite [the] recent endorsement of universal use of MMR deficiency testing in patients with [colorectal cancer] and well-established guidelines aimed at high-risk populations, overall utilization of testing is poor and significant underuse of testing among young adults persists. Interventions tailored to groups at risk for nonadherence to guidelines may be warranted in the current era of universal testing."
The study was supported by the National Cancer Institute.

Here is my latest hoop art! I had been wanting to stitch a rocking chair for a while, and when I found this fabric the idea fell into place.
Home is truly the best place to be. And with the extreme cold weather we've had where I live it's really the only place I've wanted to be lately! I'm really happy with how this one turned out, I think I might need to keep it to hang for myself in my own home. When I see it it reminds how much I cherish the coziness and comfort of home – I truly am a homebody, and I love it.
I think I will stitch up another one and add it to the shop soon http://www.ceestitchery.etsy.com
Have a fantastic weekend!

And there we have it- a Cute little Cusaur. Thanks for checking it out guys, look forward to more Pokemon fusion coming soon!~ (Pokemon fusion generator site http://pokemon.alexonsager.net/)
Had a little bit of fun today. While i wanted to put on the cubone mask on the pokemon, i was thinking of maybe having it age or gather moss and having things grown from the mask(since Venusaur is plant-base and things growing from it) BUT so far the progress is looking like unless i refine the mask area a bit more, it would be difficult to recognize what it is, and making the fusion much more difficult to tell as well.
but ya, we will see what the next few updates are up to for this piece. stay tune!

With the year quickly ending and 2016 around the corner it is time to take the year in review and start thinking about future goals. One goal that is always almost at the top of the list is a healthier diet and a more toned Physique. Here are a few New Years' tips to help you reach your goals!
- Grab a partner! Getting a partner to help keep you motivated and accountable can be one of the best tools to keep you on track. Even if your partner is at different fitness level or has a different goal set, they can help make exercising more enjoyable and thus making you more likely to keep up your routine. Also a little food for thought: Strong & long-standing interpersonal relationships (friendship) have a significant effect on the longevity and life of an individual; friendship = long-life & health!
- Get away from screens! No really, Step Away! Besides making the body sedentary while being bad for the eye & posture, screens (smart phones, tablets and television) can prevent you from organic conversation, developing friendships and can easily become the crutch of procrastination.
- Take a walk! Got 15 minutes? Take a brisk walk around the block (and grab the kids too), even 15 minutes can increase serotonin levels, vitamin D levels and increase circulation.
- Keep snacks in your car or at your desk. More often than not, overeating is from not keeping consistent blood sugar level throughout the day. A bag of nuts and dried fruits is a great snack food to keep at your desk, (walnuts and cranberries are great as brain food). Tip: Low sugar and high protein keeps away hunger pains and prevent blood sugar spikes.
- Relax! It is important to purposely take some time to relax, focus on self and breathe. Massage is always a great way to naturally increase serotonin levels while increasing circulation.

While the truncated 4/20 festivities have turned Civic Center Park into ground zero for a discussion of which events are a First Amendment exercise and which are commercial, the Civic Center Conservancy will soon take a pot-free breather. On May 8, the Civic Center Conservancy, Historic Denver Inc. and Denver Parks and Recreation will share a 2012 State Honor Award at Colorado Preservation's Dana Crawford Awards at History Colorado. But the biggest award of the evening will go to Evan Makovsky, a developer who may become the landlord for some historic model trains.
Makovsky, a quixotic developer featured in our 2007 cover story "Evan Almighty," will receive the 23rd annual Dana Crawford Award for Excellence in Historic Preservation "for collaboratively creating a radically different Downtown Denver Historic District; for saving the Colorado Business Bank Building from the wrecking ball and then restoring it beautifully; for being an 'urban hero' for his foresight, perseverance and dedication to the Fontius project; for balancing the Fontius building's historical elements with its current and future energy needs; for being driven by the need to do something that has a positive impact on society," according to Colorado Preservation.
Not mentioned is perhaps Makovsky's most noble, and certainly least noticed, achievement of all: After Jerry Kranz, the owner of El Chapultepec, passed away last May, Makovsky bought the building at 1962 Market Street so that his family could continue to run the legendary jazz club, in a bar that opened the day after Prohibition ended.
And Makovsky could soon be the landlord of another local institution -- the model train layouts that could be getting the boot from the Union Station basement, where one has been for 78 years, the other for 34. "In an effort to renovate the building and to create a safe environment for future patrons, we must ask these train clubs to move from the building," reads a statement from the Union Station Alliance, which is developing Union Station. "In an effort to show our ongoing support of the model train clubs, we are working with the clubs to find acceptable space for the storage and potential permanent exhibition space...as permanent space, we have offered the basement of the Sage Building on 16th & Welton downtown."
That building is Makovsky's Fontius project, cited in his Dana Crawford Award; Sage, one of the partners in the Union Station Alliance, is the major tenant. Another partner in USA? Dana Crawford.
Although spokespeople for both the model train clubs that have been based in the Union Station basement -- one for three decades, one for close to eight -- say they haven't heard officially from USA about the Sage Building possibility, Makovsky has pulled off tougher projects.
All aboard.

Insurance transfers the risk of financial loss from an individual to a company. The insurance company is based on cash reserves from the premiums paid by its customers. The risk of loss is shared among these individuals, who agree to pay a specific amount in premiums in return for the promise of recouping a certain amount in the event of a loss.
The Concept of Insurance
When you purchase insurance, you are buying indemnity for your car, house, health, life or anything else that you contract for. You are stating that the value of something, such as your home or the cost of restoring your health, is so great that you would be unable to replace or restore them from your own cash reserves. The insurance policy promises to replace the home or pay for your medical costs in return for the premiums that you pay even though the payout far exceeds the amount that you will pay.
Insurance is a bet, for both you and the insurance company. As an example, both of you know that statistically there is only a minute chance that your house will be destroyed by fire. The insurance company's actuaries develop the statistics for quantifying the amount of risk involved in the insurance transaction. They will look at all of the factors surrounding the item being insured to determine if the risk of loss is high or low, and set the premiums and policy limits accordingly. This is why the auto insurance premium for a 16-year-old is significantly higher than his grandmother's.
Pooled Risk
If you and the insurance company were the only parties involved in the insurance interaction, it would not work. Your premiums would have to pay into a fund that has sufficient monies to pay for your loss. You would be better off putting the money in a savings account. To make the transaction work, the insurance company contracts with hundreds of thousands of your neighbors, and each of you pays a premium that goes into a pool of money. The size of the pool is determined by how many claims the insurance company anticipates paying in the coming year. If the homeowners' insurance pool sees that it will have to replace five homes at $200,000 each, it will need a pool of $1,000,000 in reserve. The company will divide this anticipated risk among all of the homeowners that it contracts with to fill the pool. If it replaces fewer homes than anticipated, the premiums for the next year can be lowered; if it has to pay for more claims than it's prepared for, premiums will rise to fill the pool.
Property Insurance
Insuring your car, home or other property differs from health or life insurance. Property insurance takes into account the declining (auto) or increasing (home) value of your property and the anticipated costs of covering their loss. Many drivers are unpleasantly surprised, when making a claim, to discover that the payout is much less than the cost of a new car. The insurance policy is specific to your car; so if you are driving a 1985 pickup truck, its current depreciated value is what the insurer is covering. Home values, on the other hand, appreciate over time, and you must review your policy to ensure that the full replacement value, at current prices, is built into the contract.
Health Insurance
You purchase health insurance so that, in the event of a catastrophic illness, you will be able to cover the costs of paying the physicians and hospital. In order for the insurance company to stay in business, the premiums of a sufficient number of healthy people not making claims must exceed the amount of money paid out for higher-risk participants. The cost of a health insurance policy continues to escalate because more and more services, coverage areas and day-to-day costs are being demanded of commercial policies.

Gustakh Dil 9th June 2014 Written Episode Update
Gustakh Dil 9th June 2014 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
The Episode starts with Rancho and Lajjo talking. Rancho says you love Nikhil so much, miss him a lot every moment, don't you want to go back to him and stay with him. Lajjo thinks about Nikhil's words and tells Rancho what she and Nikhil have decided, she can't make Nikhil leave his family and she can't be happy being away from family. Rancho says my friends did love marriage and stayed apart but later their families accepted them. Lajjo says Barkha can't accept me, but Trishna can become her bahu. Rancho smiles.
Barkha asks Chaya to do all the arrangements for the party. Gunjan and nani looks on. Gunjan asks what party. Barkha says how can you forget your birthday, I m inviting just few friends and family. Gunjan thanks her. Barkha says it's a good idea to celebrate. Nani says I find this strange. Barkha says why, I took your advice not to worry, I decided to be happy. Nani doubts on her.
Barkha asks what are you saying. Nani says I m your mum and know you very well. Barkha asks Gunjan to go with Nani and buy a good dress. Gunjan says I will talk to Nikhil to come. Barkha thinks Nikhil has to come, as this party is happening for him. Nikhil meets the boss. The boss says I want to shift you to my head office. Nikhil agrees.
Gunjan and Nani come back home from shopping her dress. She thanks Nani. They have a talk about Ayesha. Nani says I will talk to her. Nani says she got a birthday gift for her and she wants to gift her. She asks Gunjan to tell how is it. Gunjan opens the gift and it's a beautiful chain. Gunjan likes it and thanks her. Nani asks what happened, are you missing your dad. Gunjan says yes, he should have come on my birthday.
Nani thinks about Barkha and says she is worried about Nikhil, I think she wants to make him happy with this party. They read Sagar's new find Trishna's article and can't see the pic. Nani thinks about Trishna, and thinks I was wrong, she was not Lajjo. Sagar comes to Mili's room and finds her crying. Mili says Lajjo did not come to meet me, I have a project of glass painting. He says its simple, you can do it. She says I can't do. He says you have to draw on glass, that's all. He says I will help you.
Mili says you will help me? He says yes and does the painting. They spend time together and Mili is happy seeing him. Lajjo comes and laughs seeing the drawing Sagar made. She asks tell me what is this thing. Mili laughs. Lajjo says we will make a painting and teaches Mili. Sagar looks at Lajjo and smiles. Lajjo asks what. He says nothing, I m seeing you are busy with Mili, you have trials today. She says I know, I requested them to give me some time as I promised Mili that I will help her.
He asks is Mili's project important than your career. She says both. He says don't give me lecture on parenting. She says no, I wanted to thank you. He asks why. She says for giving time to Mili, she wanted this. Mili calls Lajjo and she goes. Ayesha comes to meet Adhiraj at the police station. He says why did you come to bail me out, why. She says as we are friends. He says I don't have time for love, I don't love you, forget you can win my heart by bailing me out. She asks whats wrong with you, what mistake did I do, what do you want, you want to be here in jail, only I m the witness you did not do the murder as you were with me all night.
Adhiraj says fine, I m not alone, I have friends who are innocent, I can't be selfish, can you bail everyone. She asks how much money will it take. He says its murder charge and we are five people, it will take 10 lakhs, do you have that much money. Gunjan talks to Nikhil. He says I wanted to give you surprise. She says great. Nikhil says I got promoted, to work in head office. Gunjan says congrats, I m super happy, this is the best birthday gift.
He says this is the gift with my hard earned money. She says this is precious for me, this is very special. Nikhil smiles. Gunjan sees the earrings and hugs him thanking him. She says but its very expensive. He says leave it. She requests him to come in her birthday party which Barkha kept. Nikhil agrees. Barkha meets Ratri and talks to her about Trishna. Barkha taunts her for losing out to Trishna. Barkha says you are such a loser. Ratri says you know what I m. She says you need me, I don't need you. Barkha says I have something else for you. She says you have to attend a party. Ratri asks what to do in it. Barkha says why do you always be in hurry, have patience, I will tell you everything when time comes. Barkha gives her money envelop and Ratri smiles and agrees.
Barkha hugs Ratri and welcomes her in the party. Ratri sees Nikhil and spikes his drink as Barkha says.

- One in four American workers plans to work while on vacation in 2006.
- Also in 2006, American workers are expected to give back 574 million vacation days.
I know how it is to feel like you're too busy to take a vacation. I was there; I know what it's like. There was a time when I had come to the perverse conclusion that it would be better for me stress-wise not to take a vacation, or to take only the bare minimum time off needed to placate the wife and kids. By avoiding the crunches that I would have to endure to prepare for and to make up for the vacation, I'd be better off ... somehow. (It all made sense back then.)
Then I went through some serious stress-related health problems—neck and back aches, insomnia, the works—and I finally realized it was a state-of-mind problem: Sometimes, you just have to put your well-being first.
Easier said than done, I know. But as someone said, nobody on his deathbed ever said, "I wish I'd spent more time working."

Hummus BowlPosted: November 15, 2013 Filed under: Soups & Salads, Uncategorized Leave a comment
This is not so much a recipe but more so an idea for a fun and easy meal. My intentions with making this hummus bowl was to create a meal out of something I would normally snack on. This is a great alternative to snacking on hummus with crackers, or a good replacement for your standard salad. All the ingredients are fresh & raw.
1 bunch of Kale
4 small carrots
3 small bell peppers
1/2 yellow squash
handful of snap peas
1/4 cup quinoa
2 Tb hummus ( I used eating right brand: spinach & artichoke)
Place all ingredients in a bowl and either dip in hummus or mix together and eat as a salad.

Yesterday after racing we had to hand back the charter boats, two sailors had mislaid some items and not managed to do as asked and put the spares in their labelled ( thanks Steph ) foil bags when we arrived, getting all the blocks and sprit wires off slows down everything and then we had pack the sails and spars we had brought with us and then pack our bags . I am sure the mums will find some un familiar items in the bags . Only two had to be re packed by Carla and various missing items amazingly re appeared after a weeks absence in someone else's room or bag.

Meditation in Everyday Life: A Five-Week Course
with Kathryn Rile & Susan Arnesen
With simple instructions and support, mindfulness meditation practice can become part of your life, bringing greater stability, strength, and clarity.
While meditation has many benefits, establishing a consistent personal practice can be extremely challenging for both new and experienced meditators alike.
This five-week Mindfulness Meditation program is designed to help new meditators develop a regular practice and bring the benefits of mindfulness meditation to their daily lives. As we begin to practice on a regular basis, we learn to relax and simply be with whatever is going on in our lives. Over time, this meditation helps us to cultivate courage, humor, and stability in the face of daily complexities of jobs, relationships, and all aspects of daily life.
Meditation in Everyday Life combines technique and understanding of meditation practice in a setting of support and community to provide you with everything you need to build a healthy, strong meditation practice.
Give yourself the gift of meditation and infuse your life and the lives of those around you with compassion, caring, and kindness.
The Way of Shambhala
This is the first course in our core curriculum, The Way of Shambhala, which provides a strong foundation in mindfulness-awareness meditation and the Shambhala Buddhist teachings of compassion and confidence in a challenging world.
The courses are weekly, interactive, communal, and create a learning environment where the teachings are intimate and relevant. We train inmeditation, and use inquiry, dialogue, and contemplative arts throughout the classes.
Kathryn Rile has been a student of Shambhala for over 15 years. She is the Director of Communications for Northern California Shambhala and works professionally in design and communications for small businesses. Kathyrn is a ceramic artist and the mother of two Shambhala Sun Camp graduates.
There are no prerequisites for this class. Everyone is welcome.

Martin & MacArthur is delighted to feature the wood platters of talented Big Island craftsmen Mark and Karen Stebbins. The Stebbins' create exquisite platters using a variety of wood techniques including lathe-turning, segmentation, marquetry and pyrography. Each platter has a combination of Hawaiian hardwoods including Koa, grown on the Big Island.
The Stebbins create each platter based on their desire to draw attention to the focal center of the piece and create a sense of movement and progression. The Interlace platter is influenced by the work of artist M.C. Escher.
Wood platters such as these are often used as design elements in a room, providing an attention-grabbing anchor to the room's décor. While these wood platters have no functional use, it could be argued that they satisfy our desire to admire what is hand-crafted and beautiful.

Was Chipotle's Fake Twitter Hack a Flop?
Earlier this week, Chipotle's official Twitter account, @ChipotleTweets, appeared to be hacked, tweeting bizarre, incoherent messages to the fast food chain's 200,000+ followers.
Continue Reading Below
It turns out, however, that the cryptic tweets actually came straight from Chipotle HQ, as part of the company's strategy to promote "Adventurito," a 20-day treasure hunt and puzzle series, says Chipotle communications manager Chris Arnold.
"In the context of the promotion it was a part of, it was a success," says Arnold.
For a company that has built its reputation on freshly made food, though, some say the Twitter stunt felt a little bit stale. "I'm not sure that Chipotle's actions gave the company the consumer talk and engagement they were looking for," says Scott Thaler, Chief Interactive Officer at Zimmerman Advertising. Thaler says, if anything, the stunt simply sparked a lot of trade talk about the strategy.
"They had to do a lot of explaining to customers – what it was about, why they did it – and they've had a more defensive stance than a proactive conversation," he explains. While Arnold maintains it was a success, he admits, "I think [the conversation] got a little sidetracked. This notion that it was a ploy to add followers is total nonsense." That said, Thaler says he wouldn't dismiss all Twitter stunts as bad strategy. "You can get creative with your social program … It's okay to have fun with your customer base, if that's in line with the tonality of what your brand is all about," he says. But in the case of Chipotle, he says the fake hack simply didn't improve the relationship between consumer and company. Arnold says the spoof was played with only good intentions. "For people to feel like it was misleading somehow, or undermines trust, we certainly apologize. It wasn't our intention," says Arnold.

African Youth Initiative (AYI) Centres is a youth service set up in Ghana, West Africa and in Sydney, Australia. Our aim is to support the education and development of vulnerable young African kids. We are a non for profit small organisation registered both in Australia and in Ghana.
AYI Centres' first centre was established in Teshie in August 2016. Funds to run the Centres are sourced from sponsors and donors in Australia primary and support from locals in Ghana. Currently, in 2019 we have a dedicated Youth Centre operating in Ghana and about to start a mentoring program in Sydney, Australia to support and mentor African young people.
Aims of AYI Centres
AYI Centres' Africa programs are about providing a place for children and youth between the ages 8-17yrs to gather, learn and play in a structured and supportive environment. It's about valuing the importance of recreation in helping children learn and grow into mature adults. Each child is supported with casework, mentoring and counseling.
The Story of AYI
Youth are the future of every nation. After living and travelling through various townships and villages in Ghana, the founder of A.Y.I Centres, Bishop Laryea, a youth/community development worker in Australia, identified the need for more learning resources and programs to support the mental & social development of young people in Ghana. In 2011, he set up a small learning & recreational centre in Teshie. The heart of this learning centre was the library and the play sessions. Within 3 months, his once a week program was attracting over 60 children daily aged 4-16 who were very enthusiastic and well engaged with the program.

First, CBS News recommends becoming the savior in your office to start gaining some recognition. Whether it's your boss who needs help or another coworker, take time out of your day to lend a helping hand.
Next, Forbes magazine suggests taking on projects that no one else wants to do. Even though it might not be fulfilling, you'll start building respect en route to the top of the ladder.
Finally, Monster.com states that it's crucial to pay attention to detail. Putting 100 percent into each project can show that you're serious about your work. When you're finished handling all of your responsibilities, use your free time to brainstorm, impress your boss and benefit your company as a whole.
Speak to a psychic advisor if you're concerned about your job and progress. A tarot reading may reveal that you're on the wrong career path and a great opportunity to advance lies just ahead.

Today is National Punctuation Day.
I am not sure how to celebrate it... aside from making this post. I know a lot of people consider holidays like this to be useless, but I like it. We need more holidays, when you think about it! Americans work more, more often, than all the rest of the world.
But holidays like this aren't really for "celebrating," they are more to remind and inform us. And the good Lord knows we could use some reminding on proper punctuation usage?

Create unlimited products & copies using cute cartoons
In this article, I will talk to you about the nightmare before christmas characters and why this movie is still popular today! I remember seeing this movie in theaters in 1993.
I remember being impressed by the beauty of the sets and the strong personalities of all characters. No doubt that Tim Burton is a great artist! This movie is another proof that Burton will be remembered as one of the top filmmakers of its time.
The nightmare before christmas characters are very amusing and very well-designed. The personality of each of them can be seen immediately through their physical appearance.
Jack Skellington is a fragile and sensitive character (that's why he's tall and skinny...).
Sally is thorn apart between pleasing Dr. Finkelstein and helping Jack (and she can rip off herself to make an escape!). And the list could go on...
If you haven't seen this movie yet (which I doubt!) do yourself a favor and do it now! It's the perfect Halloween/Christmas movie for anyone, young and old!
Without a doubt one of my favorite movie of all time!

Meade County Recycle Center
In 1996, Meade County purchased a 70'x 120' building at 211 north Fowler (which is also State Highway 23) in the City of Meade. A baler was purchased in 1996 and a bobcat loader was purchased in 1997 with funds from the KDHE grant program. We have also leased another baler from Sonoco Recycling in May of 2007. The building is the central collection site for the county recycle program. A converted 8' x 24' trailer is located in Fowler and a metal shed approx. 40' x 60' is located in Plains. They are used as collection sites in those cities.
The Recycle Center in Meade is divided into two areas. There is a walk area open 24 hours a day 7 days a week for the public to bring in material. The remainder of the building is secured from the public and is used to store and process material. The type of recycle materials accepted are: cardboard, newspaper, office paper, magazines, telephone books, aluminum cans, metal cans, #1 PETE (clear and colored plastic), and #2 HDPE heavy plastic. Appendix A-5 list the approximate yearly tonnage collected at the center. The capacity of the Recycle Center has not been met, which leaves ample room to expand the recycle program.
Meade County owns and operates a pick – up truck and trailer that is used to collect cardboard from businesses in each city. Cardboard is collected and brought to the Recycle Center to be baled and stored until the material is shipped out of the county for further processing by a commercial contractor. A full time person is employed by the county to operate the Recycle Center. His job description includes collection of cardboard throughout the county and to process the material, including all material collected in the walk-in area. After the material is collected and processed, it is stored until there is enough material to fill a semi-trailer, and then it is shipped to a commercial processor.
