Safety on the Playing Field
There is a youth sports safety crisis in America. We see, hear and read about it every day, and recent studies point to a prolific increase in injuries despite our collective best efforts to prevent and treat them. Though they may at first seem minor, youth sports-related injuries can result in lifelong musculoskeletal or neurological conditions – or even prove fatal.
Making this issue even more challenging, the national landscape is now emphasizing physical fitness to combat the incidence of obesity and diabetes in children. Happily, more kids are playing more sports, often “specializing” in one sport or one position – even playing year-round. More girls are involved in sports, including competitive cheerleading, and the number of league sports and community opportunities to participate in athletics is on the rise.
Yet physical activity is not without risk. Recent studies point to a significant increase in catastrophic injuries that result in death or permanent disability. In fact, there were at least 115 sports-related deaths in 33 states over the past two years. Brain injury, devastating heat illness and sudden cardiac arrest are just a few of the serious conditions suffered by children on the playing field. The traditional sports philosophy of “playing through pain” can result in younger athletes, who are eager to make a good impression, continuing or returning to the playing field, when sitting out or going home would be the safer and more logical course of action.
The CATA recommends that parents and coaches take the following action in order to help keep kids safe and in the game:
- Ensure that youth athletes have access to health care professionals who are qualified to make assessments and decisions.
- Educate your family about the symptoms of musculoskeletal and neurological injuries (concussion, heat illness, ACL injuries).
- Ensure pre-participation exams before play begins.
- Ensure sports equipment and playing surfaces are checked for safety and best conditions.
- Write to your state legislator, expressing your concerns.
- Support further research into youth sports injuries and their effects.
- There’s a difference between pain and injury – work to eliminate the culture of “playing through pain” without assessment.
In order to increase education and understanding of Catastrophic Injuries, the CATA has prepared the following handouts addressing each injury that can be printed out and distributed to school administrators, coaches, booster clubs, parents, PTA boards, etc.
Here are some other ideas for distribution:
- Put out on tables at events
- Ask school administrators to post on school web sites and put in common areas
- Send them to your local media and offer yourself as a local spokesperson who can talk more about the issues covered in the fact sheets
- Distribute to parents and children during practices and games at all primary and secondary schools.
Please help us educate our athletes, coaches, parents and administrators – it’s up to us to keep kids safe and keep them in the game.

Family Camping Tent
You've finally decided to take your family camping. You've checked all the different camping sited that are accredited by the American Camping Association (ACA) and Kampgrounds of America (KOA). The next thing that you need to decide is how much you and your family want to “rough it”. Will you decide to stay in an Ozark Trail Tent or will you go camping in style and rent a fancy motor home? Too much luxury living for you? Want to experience camping at its finest? Then you're the type who's going to take their family camping the right way, tent camping.
The first step you should take before beginning your family camping vacation is to choose the type of tent or tents that you'll need. What type of weather conditions can you expect during your family camping vacation? Will you need a heavy duty Northwestern Territory Tent or a lightweight Ozark Trail Tent? You should always expect. Be prepared for the worst type of weather, rain, wind. Cold are all possibilities on any camping trip.
There are three season and four season tents available for you to purchase, such as Wenzel tents and Ozark Trail tents. Four season tents are typically heavier than three season tents and provide a lot more protection. They also tend to have more poles than most three season tents have, this is to help the heavier tent withstand any wind and snow fall that you may encounter. Of course, most of us are fair weather campers and take our family camping vacations during times when three season tent will work just fine for keeping your family safe and warm. So, now, what style of tent do you want?
What style of tent you want may depends on how much backpacking you’re going to do during your family camping vacation. If you plan to do some hiking to find your “ultimate”. Camping destination then you'll want to keep things as light as possible so you might want to think about a simple tarp tent or maybe something like the Ozark Trail 9’x8′ Dome Tent which is a great low-cost alternative that protects against the weather fairly well.
If you’re the type of camper who likes to “rough it”. At a campground type environment then you'll not be so worried about the weight of your tent. More than likely you'll be more concerned with the size of the tent that you choose, a two man tent will usually be to small and uncomfortable for two adults and all their gear, although a two man tent is typically perfect for kids who need or want their own tent.
Those who are experienced with camping will tell you that you’ll want to look for at least 30 square feet of floor space minimum, per person. It's suggested that you take the number of people a tent says is its capacity is and divide that number by 2.
If you’re traveling with young children you'll definitely want to look into a larger model of tent such as the Wenzel Sycamore 3 Room Family Dome Tent. You’ll want to have a much larger area inside your tent when sharing a tent with your children, especially as you may experience some nasty weather that may leave you with the children stuck inside the tent for long periods of time.
It's advised that they'd an area to play board games and other activities to keep them engaged. Additionally a larger tent will give you ample room to store equipment if unpleasant weather strikes.
Keeping these simple tips in mind will help make your next family camping adventure one to remember.

Our friends over at Big League Stew had a nice little post about a new product that Topps (yes, the same company that makes ball cards) has created: LINK HERE
They're called 'Minis' and they're pretty… stinking… cool.
2.5" vinyl figurines of my favorite Cardinals? Put a couple in the office. Maybe give a few as gifts. The possibilities are endless. I'm going to get a Wainwright and a Holliday and a Beltran and probably a Carlos Martinez if they have one… where's the list?
No Cardinals? Not one?
Makes sense, because Cardinal fans don't go out and buy anything that has the Cardinals logo on it. (VERRRRRY SARCASTIC LINK HERE) And not to lump Cub fan in with purebreds like us, but no Cubs either?
Is it an NL Central bias? A conscience effort to prop up Joey Votto into the spotlight because it's hard to appreciate Alan Craig?
We deserve answers, Topps. As BLS points out, Brian Wilson doesn't, you know, play baseball anymore.


In honor of Mothers Day, I was reflecting on the things my mom always told me. She's been gone for a few years, but these are sayings she always used with me. How many of these can you recognize?
1. Mom taught me about ANTICIPATION: "Just wait until your father gets home."


We take a look at the Acer Chromebook Spin 713, a convertible laptop with premium technology and enterprise class design aimed at businesses and users who wish to get the most out of Google’s Chrome OS. Based on the 10th generation Intel Core processor and Intel’s Project Athena program, it is one of the most advanced Chromebook out there.
Acer Chromebook Spin convertible laptops come in various sizes; 11.6-inch, 13.5-inch and 15.6-inch simply known as Acer Chromebook Spin 11, 13 and 15 respectively. But with the new series, it now uses three digit naming with the first digit denoting the class and the second and third digits, the size of the device. Case in point, the Acer Chromebook Spin 713 is a premium class (7) laptop with a 13.5-inch (13) touch display. While the Acer Chromebook Spin 311 is an affordable convertible laptop (3) for students with an 11.6-inch touch screen.

Productivity Focused Touch Enabled Display
As a convertible, the 2K touch screen opens and rotates to a full 360-degrees to turn it into a slate. You can get clever with the way you use the device depending on the position of the hinges between close and fully open, options include:
- display mode for presentation
- tablet mode for well, tablet with touch interface
- clamshell or laptop mode for keyboard input and
- tent mode for pure distraction free entertainment with a small footprint
But what is more important is the use of 3:2 aspect ratio, what Acer calls VertiView. Screens with this ratio is common among premium devices especially those from Microsoft. The Surface Pro 7, Surface Book 3, Surface Laptop 3 and even the Surface Go 2 all use displays with 3:2 aspect ratio. This offers 18% more vertical room for viewport and reduces scrolling.
As for the display, the 13.5-inch screen is packed with 2256 x 1504 pixel resolution. The IPS display offers brilliant 2K clarity. It will display Full HD and 4K streaming video with more details and higher viewing angles. On top of that, the touchscreen and touchpad are made of Corning Gorilla Glass too for durability and its scratch resistant quality.
The touch panel and touchpad are also available with an optional layer of antimicrobial Corning Gorila Glass. The specially formulated layer help reduces the micro-organism and odour on touch display and touchpads. The entire display is wrapped in thinner bezels to ensure that what is on the display stands out more.

Plus, with the 3:2 aspect ratio and back-lit keyboard, it boosts productivity anywhere you go. The entire Chromebook only weighs 1.37kg (3.02 lbs) and is just 16.8mm thin (0.66 inches) when shut. This makes it easy to slip into a bag and take with you when working offsite, commuting, on a long haul flight or meetings with clients.

HOLIDAY Inn staff pulled out all the stops to save a couple's wedding plans as clean-up operations began this week.
The hotel was badly damaged in a blaze which destroyed most of the roof.
However operations director Mark Foster says their biggest challenge has been to save the plans of a couple who had booked their wedding at the hotel this weekend.
He said: 'Although the roof is destroyed most of the damage has been caused by smoke and water. As pipes in the roof burst the water cascaded down through the building and a considerable amount of water was also used by the firefighters who worked so hard fighting the blaze.
'But perhaps our hardest task has been to save the plans of a couple who had planned their wedding at the hotel this weekend. At the very last minute we've managed to secure a switch to Chester Racecourse's banqueting suite.'
Kathy Lloyd, 35, who is due to marry 32-year-old Neil Ebbrell on Saturday said: 'We had 270 guests coming and a lot were booked into the hotel, which is where the ceremony and reception were to be held. After failing to arrange a change of venue we were left with no alternative but to postpone the wedding until after Christmas.
'But the Holiday Inn has been better than brilliant and managed to switch everything to Chester Racecourse.
'It has arranged for all my guests to have rooms at the Queen's Hotel and is even picking up the tab for the difference as well as providing transport.'
She added: 'They have saved my day and I can't thank them enough.'
Fire brigade spokesman Joe Whelan said: 'The cause of the fire is still under investigation but it looks likely to have started in a plant room on the fourth floor.
'The roof was destroyed and there is some structural damage. At its height we had 70 firefighters tackling the blaze.
'It was arduous work but nobody was hurt and guests and staff had been safely evacuated before we arrived.'


Have you thought about insurance for your pet?
We strongly recommend that you consider pet insurance for your pet, the cost of veterinary care can be more than most pet owners realise especially when specialist techniques or equipment are necessary and, with no NHS for pets, pet insurance is the best way to help you cover the treatment costs.
Due to insurance regulation we are not allowed to recommend who you choose as your Pet Insurance provider. However, choosing pet insurance can be confusing so we have detailed below 4 different types of pet insurance policies available.
It is not always clear what type of policy a company is offering so if you have an understanding of the below, you can then decide which type you feel is best for you and your pet and then look at which companies offer the type you want…
- Covers the cost of any accidents your pet may have
- Will only cover up to a certain amount (benefit level)
- Often only covers a certain amount of accidents
- No cover whatsoever for any kind of illness
12 month/ Time limited
- Appear to be a cheaper type of policy
- Claiming starts from the date the first clinical signs started
- After 12 months, have passed the condition you are claiming for and its treatment will no longer be covered
- Once the 12 month period has passed you will have to pay for any further treatment for that condition for the rest of the pets life.
- You are unlikely to find another pet insurance which will then take on your pet without excluding this condition as it will be classed as pre-existing.
- Very common, often advertised as life time and lifelong which can be misleading
- One pot of money is allocated for each illness/injury. Depending on which company you are looking at will depend how much you have for each condition
- Once the set amount of money has been spent per condition that condition will no longer be covered with this company or any other company so you will need to pay for treatment related to this condition from then on
- One pot of money for all conditions claimed in a year at the end of the policy year the pot is topped back up to the amount you began with, giving you a new full pot for the following year
- Perfect for ongoing conditions such as diabetes, skin conditions, joint problems etc.
- Please make sure you are comparing like for like when comparing insurance policies
- By deciding which type of insurance you want first, you then have the opportunity to make an informed decision on your pet insurance provider
- If you have already chosen your insurance provider and are thinking of moving to another company, please speak to one of our team first as switching insurance can be costly and is not always best for you and your pet
- Please feel free ask at reception for details on our claims process so that you are aware what you need to do should you need to make a claim in the future
- To help you decide what insurance type is best for you, research the breed of pet you have and look at the common conditions that this breed may have
Questions you may find useful when shopping for pet insurance…
- Is this policy a policy where after claiming for a condition for an amount of time I will no longer be covered for that condition?
- Is this policy a policy where after a set amount of money for a condition the condition will no longer be covered?
- Will the policy amount that I can claim be topped back up each year that I renew?
- Will you place exclusions at renewal on this policy?
- Will my premiums or excess increase if I make a claim?
- Does the policy cover congenital or hereditary illness?
- Does this policy cover dental treatment and behaviour problems?

It’s the height of tomato season and the possibilities are endless with this versatile fruit. Below the fold, we’ve gathered some simple inspiration for every tomato occasion.
1. As a shortcut, take FreshDirect pesto pasta salad and add fresh mozzarella and chopped tomatoes.
2. Stuff hollowed cherry tomatoes with fresh herbs and goat cheese for a simple appetizer (or use the same ingredients to top crostini).
3. Make a 20-minute tomato sauce: chop tomatoes, garlic, and basil, and sauté in olive oil. Top fresh pasta with sauce, shredded basil, and shaved Parmesan.
4. For homemade guacamole, mix ripe guacamole, chopped tomatoes and onions, lime juice, and cilantro. Pico de gallo and homemade salsa are just as easy: mix chopped tomatoes, onions, lime juice, and fresh herbs. The fresh flavor is beyond comparison.
5. Use chopped tomatoes, fresh-squeezed citrus, and fresh herbs to liven up your homemade tabouleh or cold chickpea salads.
6. Roast tomatoes on high heat (especially if they’re starting to go bad), and place in olive oil. Keep in the fridge and add to all your salads, sandwiches, and grain dishes.
7. Sweet corn is also in season right now. Combine fresh corn, black beans, chopped tomatoes, jalapenos, and lime juice and serve with fish (or on top of fish tacos!).
8. Grill vegetable skewers (tomato + onion + pepper) and steak or chicken skewers, and use the results to top quinoa.
9. Dress up your Sunday omelet with chopped tomatoes, ham, and cheddar. The combo is killer.
10. Make white pizza at home. Use FreshDirect pizza dough, add a drizzle of olive oil to coat the dough, and top with fresh sliced tomatoes, spinach (we also love it with sweet peppers), shredded (or fresh) mozzarella, and dollops of ricotta. You can thank us later.
While we have some new ideas on the table, let’s also admit the truth: sometimes you just want to let your tomatoes sing with quality olive and fresh mozzarella. For a twist on everyone’s favorite caprese salad:
- Make a simple tomato vinaigrette by blending chopped heirlooms, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and sea salt.
- Toss chopped and sliced tomatoes (we like mixing the shapes and sizes) in your vinaigrette and put in the center of the plate. Surround with sliced burrata cheese, and top the plate with torn basil and another drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
- Serve and devour. With bread. Lots and lots of bread.

A crop of promising Go Racing three-year-olds kick off their tilts at their respective Group 1 Guineas races in November.
Today Stephen Marsh-trained Prince Albert (Savabeel x Lady Alberton) runs in the maiden 3YO 1400 metres at Matamata from a handy barrier 3.
Says Stephen “He’s a colt we have a lot of time for but he just hasn’t quite put it all together yet. We wouldn’t be surprised if race day conditions makes it click for him, aided by blinkers and a tongue tie to help him focus. Jockey Jake Bayliss will ride and although track conditions are not ideal, this will get his campaign under way.”
Reliable Man filly Sentimental Miss is kicking off her 1000 Guineas campaign tomorrow at Waipukurau.
Says trainer Lisa Latta “She’s a good chance of making the Guineas. She ran second on debut and then fourth in the listed Castletown Stakes in June this year. We think a lot of her.”
“She finished a close second in her jump out at Levin on the 12th of September maintaining a strong gallop to the line with rider Timothy Johnson sitting very quietly in the saddle. She recovered quickly indicating her fitness levels are good and she is on target to resume in a maiden 3YO 1200 metres.”
Another Stephen Marsh trained 3YO, Rip Em Up (Rip Van Winkle x Bak da Princess), is another filly full of promise and debuts on Saturday.
She’s had two trials for two top two placings. “Her most recent trial at Cambridge on the 13th of September was super impressive. She sat comfortably third on the rail then pulled out wide, came from a trailing position impressively, just cantered up to them to win.”
She will debut at Avondale in either the maiden 1200 m or the 3YO 1200 metres where Danielle Johnson will ride. “The 3YO race is open and therefore a stronger field but we would still prefer her up against her own age group.”
The Group 1 2000 Guineas worth $500,000 is held during Cup Week at Riccarton on the 10th of November with the Group 1 1000 Guineas worth $300,000 run the following Saturday.

Businesses will lead our region’s recovery
With a pre-COVID-19 rank as the 17th largest economy in the world, Florida’s move into Full Phase 1 of the Governor’s “Safe. Smart. Step-by-Step” plan is empowering local businesses to restart the region’s economic engine. The work our Manatee Chamber team has done with thousands of businesses has shone a light on the care, compassion and determination with which business owners and their employees are approaching health, safety, service and economics.
What was clear from the first days of this crisis was the community-minded spirit our Manatee-Sarasota region embraced. The Manatee Chamber quickly launched the #ManateeStrong Facebook group, which has grown into an online community of more than 6,000 individuals and businesses.
Our region was quick to share positive stories about the everyday heroes in our community who are helping us navigate the COVID-19 crisis. #ManateeStrong is also a platform to share updates on much-needed resources and special opportunities that support our business community and their employees. In just two months, the group has had more than 55,000 posts, likes, shares, and other social media engagements. If you haven’t connected with the group online, I encourage you to join us.
As our community navigates Phase 1 and prepares for Phase 2, business people and community members are seeking connection to trusted resources and to one another. Two weeks ago the Manatee Chamber launched the Recover Manatee website to deliver accurate, official information that can be used to guide plans for restarting, recovering, and re-imagining our economy. At www.RecoverManatee.com you will find:
• Relief – Access to information, assistance, and resources for immediate help for businesses and individuals
• Restart – Measures, guidance and resources needed to start a full reopening, including industry-specific guidelines
• Recover – A library of webinars to help businesses navigate this crisis and plan for longer-term measures needed to reverse downturn and return to a growth trajectory
• Re-imagine – Will target longer-term business and community strategies for adapting and building greater resiliency into our economy
The resources offered will help businesses address components of stabilization, confidence, restoration and transformation. We would love to hear from you about how we can enhance the site to assist an even wider, diverse business and employee base.
Over our 130-year history, the Manatee Chamber has had the privilege of convening the best and brightest leaders to strengthen businesses and our community. These partnerships are the key to unlocking the success of our region’s recovery and resiliency. Thank you for that trust and responsibility. Navigating this crisis has strengthened our conviction that together we are stronger.
Jacki Dezelski is president and CEO of the Manatee Chamber of Commerce and has been with the organization since 1996. She was the 2015 Florida Chamber Professional of the Year and has served on the board of several local nonprofits. She has a bachelor's degree in fine arts and a master's in business administration from the University of Florida and is a Manatee High School graduate. Contact her at JackiD@ManateeChamber.com.

In addition to my middle school classes, I teach High School Modern Band (guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, etc.). The difference between high school and middle students always keeps me on my toes. One period I am reminding kids to speak nicely to each other while explaining why it’s not a good idea to eat cheetos right before they play the piano....and then the next period I am working with the high school kids where they want a challenge, but they also want me to simultaneously acknowledge that they already everything. Ah teenagers.
Modern Band often functions in a way that the students are working independently with their bands most of the time. They are constantly rehearsing, arranging and writing music and is completely student-led. My colleague and I facilitate the process and guide the kids as needed. In this class there is a group of 4 very talented seniors who are all good friends. Lately they have been falling behind on deadlines and have not been performing to their potential. It’s easy to blame it on “senioritis” but I wanted to have a productive conversation with them about what was happening during rehearsal time. The idea of “senioritis” is also hard to talk about constructively...it’s so general, used as an umbrella excuse for everything, and doesn’t give the kids and accountability for what might really be going on.
They were actually really open to this discussion and surprised me with their thoughtful reflection. They admitted that they are not sure what to work on. They have a big assignment and despite our checkpoints, are having trouble breaking it down into even smaller pieces. Well... this is something that I can work with! We decided that they would talk with me at the beginning of each period to agree on a tangible objective for the day. At the end of the period we would have another check-in about their progress to determine the plan for the next day.
They also confessed that they get distracted really easily and getting off task is something that happens often. Because they are such good friends, rehearsals can quickly turn into social time. They acknowledged that they were frustrated with their lack of progress and needed some ideas about how to stay on task. Okay, I can work with this too!
I gave them a strategy that I use with my colleagues and other teams I work with. I had them choose a word that would not normally be a part of a typical conversation. This way, if any of them felt as if the group was getting off task, one of them could say that word as a reminder that everyone needs to get back to work. It seems silly, but it is really effective! Nobody needs to be the bad guy saying “come on guys, let’s focus here.” Instead, they can say this word and everyone understands what needs to happen next. They chose the word “buffoon.” ...it’s a weird word, but honestly this tactic works better if the word is strange - this causes a break in attention, a possible laugh, and a chance to refocus everyone’s efforts.
Other teams I have worked with have used the word “norm,” another group, “telephone” and another used the word “moist.” Yea….that’s definitely a weird word to say at a meeting, but everyone laughs (or feels mildly uncomfortable for a moment) and gets back to work.
This group is so much better now that they have some tools to be an effective team. They are meeting our class expectations and are now caught up to where our other groups are. Independent group work can be challenging but the students should feel empowered to take responsibility for their learning, catch themselves if they get off track, and have a few ideas on how to refocus their attention.

Continued photos from the encounter previously described.
We took a boat ride to Hoonah and saw 12 humpbacks along the way and a pod of orcas on our way back. The first group of humpbacks were near North Pass. The usual whales seemed to be present including Flame (#1538) and Barnacles (#2070) and her calf. I am unsure if Flame's calf was there. There were at least six whales in the area so it was difficult to determine.
As we headed through Icy Strait and got closer to Hoonah, we noticed a group of six humpbacks swimming and diving right next to each other. In 2017 we saw a group of humpbacks bubble feeding in the same area so we stopped to see what they were doing. I was able to get a fluke photo of one of the whales and it turned out to be a whale from our 2017 encounter. The whales never began bubble feeding while we were watching them, but I cannot help but wonder if they eventually did.
While we were headed back to Juneau we spotted a large pod of orcas in Chatham Strait near Point Retreat. The whales were spread out and seemed to be in every direction that we looked. They were very active, as we saw tail slapping and breaching. I believe they were AG pod (resident orcas). I recognized AG27 (Yakobi) from prior encounters with him.
We spent more time in our boat and found at least four humpbacks in North Pass. The water was rough so it was difficult to determine how many there were. #1538 aka Flame was in the area and we did see a calf, but at times it seemed like there were two calves. One of the whales logged at the surface almost the entire time we were in the area. Getting photos was challenging due to the water conditions.
We spent some time in our boat and found at least four humpbacks in North Pass, including #2070 aka Barnacles and her calf. One of the whales spent a lot of time logging at the surface. It then dove and breached. Several hours later we came back through the pass and noticed one of the whales logging at the surface again. After it dove it breached. I am not sure if it was the same whale that we saw breach earlier in the day. We have seen a lot of breaching this year. I am hoping that means the whales are getting the food that they need.

Children’s Dentistry - Greenbelt, MD
My Child Needs a Dentist
The McCarl Dental Group has been proudly serving entire families for 4 generations, and we would love to welcome your little one to our dental office! Early-age preventive dental care is absolutely essential to putting your child on the path to optimal oral health, and our dental office has a kid-friendly environment that can help even the most nervous toddler feel comfortable. To learn more about all of the ways we can take care of your most precious smile, read on below or contact us to schedule a visit for children's dentistry in Greenbelt, MD.
Why Choose McCarl Dental Group for Children’s Dentistry?
- Friendly team with experience treating children of all ages
- Designed to prevent tooth decay & ensure proper oral development
- Fluoride treatments, dental sealants, & much more available
Kid-Friendly Parent-Approved Children’s Dentistry
At McCarl Dental Group in Greenbelt, we offer dentistry services for patients of all ages. That means you can bring the whole family to one of our two convenient locations for comprehensive dental care that is both kid-friendly and parent-approved. Call the McCarl Dental Group team to schedule your family’s dental appointments all on the same day to maximize your convenience.
When Should I Bring my Child to the Dentist?
The official stance of the American Academy of Pediatrics is children should have a dental visit by 12 months old. The idea behind this visit is often education for parents about nutrition, cavity causing foods and drinks, fluoride, and normal tooth development. This visit should take place at a pediatric dental office and if your pediatrician refers your child for a dental visit prior to the age of 3, please visit your pediatric dentist. The big nutrition theme is to watch out for sources of sugar such as juice, gummy snacks, milk, and sticky sugars such as fruit bars and raisins.
Children will need help brushing their teeth till about age six. Usually children can brush and spit relatively well by six and until then should use a rice sized amount of fluoridated toothpaste while brushing. Try to avoid letting your child put the toothpaste on the brush because too much fluoride can be harmful to tooth development. If you are concerned about the amount of fluoride your child is consuming, contact your dental office.
Your Child’s First Dental Checkup
Fun at the dentist? Yes! At our Greenbelt, MD dental office, our main goal for a child’s first visit is to have fun. We strive to create happy memories and experiences that will create a positive foundation for future dental visits. During the initial visit to our dental office, which usually takes place around three years old, children are introduced to Choppers, our toothbrush loving stuffed alligator! They practice brushing and using dental tools on the stuffed animal before we look inside their mouths. We explain the basics of what to expect and use child appropriate language to help them understand what we’re doing. We count, polish, clean, and in some cases put fluoride on their baby teeth. The pace of the visit is set by the child and their comfort level. There is positive encouragement to enable the most effective cleaning possible, but nothing is forced on the child. Again, it’s all about having fun. At the end, children visit the treasure chest to grab a toy and get a goody bag with a themed toothbrush, dinosaur flosser, and bubble gum toothpaste.
Are Baby Teeth Important?
Yes! Baby teeth are not only used to eat, smile, and talk during toddlerhood, but they are important space maintainers for adult teeth. Having a cavity in a baby tooth does not cause a cavity in the subsequent adult tooth but loosing baby teeth too early due to excessive cavities can negatively affect the eruption of permanent teeth.
Teaching Kids to Care for Their Smiles
Starting routine dental care and cleanings at a young age reinforces prevention as the best medicine. Working together with your dental care provider to create habits and routines that will prevent cavities and, if necessary, fix problems while they are small is key to alleviating fears and making a visit to the dentist fun. Once your child reaches the age of three or four, they should begin to brush and floss on their own. We can help you teach kids to take proper care of their smiles. Our dentists and hygienists will be happy to demonstrate proper technique, recommend oral hygiene products, and help your children achieve their healthiest smiles.
Dentistry Services for Kids
Your children need dental services that will closely resemble your own oral health care needs, but the goal of early dental care is to help patients develop healthy smiles and positive associations with visiting the dentist. At McCarl Dental Group, we offer a wide range of kid-friendly dentistry services including:
- Checkups & cleanings – the key to any dental care plan is thorough dental checkups and professional teeth cleanings every six months. During these appointments, one of our dentists will gently examine your child’s smile, a dental hygienist will clean their teeth, and most importantly, we’ll take the time to answer questions and explain any additional treatments that are necessary to build a friendly rapport with the children we treat.
- Oral health education – we love helping kids learn how to care for their smiles. Our knowledgeable dentists and team will happily answer your child’s dental hygiene questions, and we are your partners in teaching kids to care for their smiles.
- Dental sealants – this fast, painless treatment can protect your child’s developing smile for years. We simply paint on a coat of the liquid sealant. Then, a curing light is used to harden it into position. Once in place, the sealant is an invisible shield defending your child’s smile from damage caused by plaque and tartar buildup on teeth.
- Fluoride therapy – kids who don’t find adequate fluoride in drinking water or who struggle with soft enamel or frequent decay may need topical fluoride treatments. At the end of your child’s appointment, we’ll apply a professional dose of fluoride to boost your child’s enamel strength between visits.

Human Rights Due Diligence
We explicitly recognise our social responsibility to comply with international human rights standards, particularly the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the core labour standards of the International Labour Organisation (ILO). This recognition, which goes beyond the statutory requirements, is expressed in our guideline on “Human Rights and Diversity at MünchenerHyp”.
To identify potential adverse impacts on human rights, we have carried out an internal risk analysis. This involved identifying possible human rights risks to individuals potentially affected by our corporate activities. Various departments contributed to the analysis, for which we carried out our own documentary research and consulted external experts. As a result of the risk analysis, the possible impacts on our employees on the one hand (whom we influence directly) and on customers and their assets on the other (which we can influence indirectly) were rated. Accordingly our policy statement focusses on both these groups.
We have implemented an internal complaints mechanism for employees who feel that they have experienced discrimination. Due to our low-risk business model focussing on private portfolio properties in Germany, the risk of human rights impacts for customers was assessed as being low. In the commercial property financing field, there are various criteria excluding controversial business areas which could indirectly have negative human rights impacts. If MünchenerHyp has any evidence of human rights infringements or discrimination on the part of a potential business associate, this may, after investigation, result in the business being declined.

Telecommunications (Interception) Amendment Bill 2006
Certainly, the Democrats recognise in particular amendment (18), which makes the provisions regarding the Ombudsman more relevant as the register for warrants will be transferred. Rather than going on about that, I might specifically ask about the government’s response to the recommendation in the Senate committee chair’s report dealing with the extension of the reporting period for the Ombudsman from three to six months. I mentioned that in relevant amendments earlier, but I am wondering if the government can put forward a formal or any kind of response to the committee’s recommendation that that period be increased from three to six months. On the issue of resources, I am wondering if there are any plans by the government to increase the resources available to the Ombudsman so that he can continue to cope with an ever-expanding workload—and, indeed, the requirement now that his reporting period be three months, despite the attempts of the Labor amendments, I believe, to extend that period to six months.


Truth Has Been Murdered
Paul Craig Roberts
The Obama regime and its neocon monsters and European vassals have resurrected a Nazi government and located it in Ukraine. Read this statement by Elena Bondarenko, a member of the Ukrainian parliament: http://slavyangrad.org/2015/04/18/statement-by-elena-bondarenko-peoples-deputy-of-verkhovna-rada-of-ukraine/
The Western media has created a fictional account of events in Ukraine. The coup organized by the Obama regime that overthrew the elected democratic government in Ukraine is never mentioned. The militias decked out in Nazi symbols are ignored. These militias are the principle source of the violence that has been inflicted on the Russian populations, resulting in the formation of the break-away republics. Instead of reporting this fact, the corrupt Western media delivers Washington’s propaganda that Russia has invaded and is annexing eastern and southern Ukraine. British and European politicians parrot Washington’s lies.
The Western media is complicit in many war crimes covered up with lies, but the false story that the Western media has woven of Ukraine is the most audacious collection of lies yet. Truly, truth in the Western world has been murdered. There is no respect for truth in any Western capital.
The coup in Ukraine is Washington’s effort to thrust a dagger into Russia’s heart. The recklessness of such a criminal act has been covered up by constructing a false reality of a people’s revolution against a corrupt and oppressive government. The world should be stunned that “bringing democracy” has become Washington’s cover for resurrecting a Nazi state.

Building a future-ready system means using a PCIe SSD like the new WD Black PCIe SSD, available in 256 and 512GB, enough for a boot drive. Expect to seem them in future computer builds. I know I will explore the option on the next machine I build, during 2017.
Announced at CES 2017, the WD Black PCIe solid state drives (SSDs), the first WD-branded client PCIe SSDs, complement the recently announced WD Blue and WD Green SATA SSDs, as well as the company’s industry leading family of hard drives for PCs and workstations, providing a full portfolio of WD storage devices for virtually any application.
“Products like the WD Black PCIe SSD, with a broad ecosystem and compatibility testing, should give customers a significant performance increase over SATA SSDs and offer a straightforward solution for customers to update to or build future-ready systems.”
The WD Black PCIe SSD is a performance PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe-based SSD that delivers more than three times the sequential read speeds of current SATA SSDs. The 256GB and 512GB capacities make it ideal as a boot drive when paired with a high-capacity hard drive, or as primary storage when building a future-ready PC. Consumers who are using the new WD Black PCIe SSD to boot up, load read-intensive games or applications, or shut down a system may realize a performance improvement of more than 10 seconds when compared to SATA SSDs.
“NVMe PCIe-based SSD adoption is poised to accelerate in 2017 and the years to follow,” said Jeff Janukowicz, vice president, IDC. “Products like the WD Black PCIe SSD, with a broad ecosystem and compatibility testing, should give customers a significant performance increase over SATA SSDs and offer a straightforward solution for customers to update to or build future-ready systems.”
As a compatible and reliable solution to ramp up newer PC configurations with PCIe performance, the WD Black PCIe SSD is the ideal storage solution for the performance PC enthusiast and for more demanding gaming and VR-focused applications. The WD Black PCIe SSD delivers more than three times the sequential read performance of SATA SSDs, an industry-leading 1.75M hours MTTF, and WD Functional Integrity Testing (F.I.T.) Lab certification. The WD Black PCIe SSD has been designed with thermal and power management algorithms beyond the NVMe specification to help with consistent performance as well as low power consumption.
Like all WD SSDs, the WD Black PCIe SSDs include free, downloadable, WD SSD Dashboard software, which allows continuous performance, capacity monitoring, and firmware updates.
“We are in the midst of a once-in-a-generation interface change,” says Eyal Bek, senior director of client SSD, Devices Business Unit, Western Digital. “The WD Black PCIe SSD ramps up performance while delivering worry-free reliability for our customers worldwide. We believe that this will accelerate the transition that is already occurring from SATA to PCIe. Western Digital is uniquely positioned to offer customers a complete storage portfolio—HDD or SSD, and SATA or PCIe form factors for every segment of the market.”

The Transitional Program for Covered Business Method (“CBM”) Review is quietly coming to an end on September 16, 2020, after eight years. The CBM program, which Congress created as a streamlined and temporary method for weeding out low-quality business method patents in the financial services industry, has been relatively infrequently used over its eight-year run.
As newly-created by the America Invents Act, a CBM petition can be used to challenge a patent having claims “used in the practice, administration, or management of a financial product or service” and that do not claim a “technological invention.” Only a party or real-party-in-interest that has been sued or charged with infringement of an eligible patent can seek CBM review. CBM reviews are broader than IPRs, permitting, for example, challenges based on §101 and §112 grounds.
We have previously written about the consistent downward trend in CBM petition filings in recent years. That trend has continued. According to the most recent PTAB statistics, only 11 CBM petitions have been filed in all of Fiscal Year 2020. This compares to over 1,100 IPR petitions filed in FY2020. And not a single CBM petition has been filed in 8 of the last 13 months. Overall, fewer than 600 CBM petitions have been filed during the entire eight-year life of the CBM program.
There have been occasional discussions of potentially extending and/or expanding the availability of CBM reviews beyond September 16, 2020, and Congress conducted a hearing on this subject in March 2018. But given the limited and declining demand for CBM proceedings, particularly over the last 3-4 years, it now appears that the sunset date for the filing of CBM petitions will quietly come and go.

Glaucoma patients make 8 common mistakes in their glaucoma treatment. Do you?
So, if you want to lower your eye pressure naturally without any side-effects, get rid o the root causes of glaucoma, and prevent vision loss, click the "Start Here" button.
How To Test For Glaucoma
Last Reviewed: January 16, 2020
Glaucoma tests are crucial. Because eye pressure can damage the optic nerve. High eye pressure over an extended period will break down the delicate fibers. As the fibers break down, vision loss occurs. So it's important to know when pressure needs to release with eye drops.
The Questions Answered In This Article:
What Is The Glaucoma Test?
Five standard glaucoma tests make up a complete exam for glaucoma. The tests include:
- checking the inner eye pressure
- testing the optic nerve
- testing the entire field of vision
- measuring the angle in the eye between the cornea and iris
- checking the thickness of the cornea.
How To Test For Glaucoma
What Is A Normal Range For Glaucoma Test Numbers?
Someone that tests 12 to 22 mm Hg is in the proper range for glaucoma. Someone that has a test that is over 22 mm Hg has high pressure. High pressure with no other signs of glaucoma could be ocular hypertension.
How Long Does A Glaucoma Test Take?
A doctor completes five tests in a glaucoma test. These depend on their results and their preferences. A full glaucoma eye test can take about an hour to complete. But each office may have differing time amounts.
How To Test Glaucoma?
The best way to test for glaucoma is to visit an eye doctor. They will give you a battery of eye tests that will examine whether or not you have glaucoma. You can expect there to be about five tests used.
Does Medicare Cover Glaucoma Testing?
Typically, Medicare does not cover eye costs. It only does if the person has a medical condition. Medicare Part B will cover testing once a year for those at high risk.
What Is Glaucoma Screening?
Glaucoma screening is a group of tests done on a regular basis. The timing depends on your age and if you are at risk. Each doctor has their preferred methods of diagnosing glaucoma. For instance, there are two different types of tests used to measure inner eye pressure in different types of glaucoma. These include the dreaded puff test or a machine that has a tiny device that lightly touches the eye.
What Is Glaucoma Screening Test?
A glaucoma screening test is a group of tests done by an eye doctor. These will determine if a person has glaucoma. The tests are very similar to the testing in a regular eye check. It is not very invasive.
How Much Does A Glaucoma Test Cost?
A person without insurance will pay between $50 to $200 for glaucoma testing. Your age will determine how often to have this test. Each office sets their price. It can be helpful to contact your eye doctor's office to learn their pricing.
How Much Is A Glaucoma Test?
The amount that you will pay for a glaucoma test will vary. Your office will determine the price. The range can be anywhere between $50 to $200 or more without health insurance. Be sure to ask your office before your visit to eliminate sticker shock.
How To Test For Glaucoma At Home?
There really is no substitute for seeing the doctor. There is a website developed by two eye surgeons in England. It can help you to identify if you have any vision changes between appointments. This visual test will have you click the mouse when you see a flash on the screen.
But what you can do at home is uncover the root causes of the glaucoma eye disease. Our proprietary test allows you to discover the true causes of glaucoma in your life situation. You will receive a personalized report about how you can stop vision loss starting today.

How Do Optometrists Test For Glaucoma?
An Optometrist will use several tests to diagnose glaucoma. Some offices may prefer particular tests or equipment over others. Five standard tests that are typically in use. These include:
How Does The Glaucoma Test Work?
A glaucoma test works by a doctor viewing your eye's condition. They use special tools. There are typically five tests performed. Each of these tests informs the doctor about your vision. They may see that you have a thick cornea or if your inner eye pressure is high. All together they can tell whether or not you have glaucoma. Also, the test will reveal what types of glaucoma medication can help with your type of glaucoma.
How Often Do You Have To Test For Glaucoma?
The frequency of how often to check for glaucoma depends on your age. People that are younger than 40 should take the test every 2-4 years. People that are 40 up to 54 should do this every 1-3 years.
People aged 55 to 64 should have a glaucoma screening every 1-2 years. People that are 65 and older should test every six months to a year. If you happen to at higher risk, you should have a test every 1-2 years after you turn 35.


We currently have an exhibition of portraits by Garth Vaughan who, through his photographs, wanted to both capture and celebrate a community. The Colorado-born photographer who has worked fot the New York Times, Forbes and The Walt Disney Company, moved to Crediton about five years ago.
The portraits were shot using only natural light in a studio space in the Town Hall. His subjects were asked to bring something they felt comfortable with - objects chosen included instruments, pets, work tools and food items. Garth said "It has to be about the person and their heart."
The Exhibition is available to view at our offices in Crediton until the end of January. The office is open 9 - 5 Monday to Friday, but it is best to telephone before calling as some of the portraits are in interview rooms and so are only able to be viewed when those rooms are free.
One of the photos from the exhibition which features Chef Nicholas Hack who runs the restaurant Il Casita is shown below.

Doc: A Novel by Mary Doria Russell
Publisher: Ballantine Books
Genre: Historical Fiction
Synopsis: Born to the life of a Southern gentleman, Dr. John Henry Holliday arrives on the Texas frontier hoping that the dry air and sunshine of the West will restore him to health. Soon, with few job prospects, Doc Holliday is gambling professionally with his partner, Mária Katarina Harony, a high-strung, classically educated Hungarian whore. In search of high-stakes poker, the couple hits the saloons of Dodge City. And that is where the unlikely friendship of Doc Holliday and a fearless lawman named Wyatt Earp begins— before the gunfight at the O.K. Corral links their names forever in American frontier mythology—when neither man wanted fame or deserved notoriety.
Review: All I've ever known about Doc Holliday is what the movies or folklore has repeated, just a small blip in the life of a man. Mary Doria Russell dives deeper to let us know more about who this person who is forever linked to Wyatt Earp really is.
Mary Doria Russell has done exhaustive research on Doc's early life before the OK Corral. Who knew that Doc Holliday was actually a dentist? You can feel the grit in the air, and the dirt on your boots as you read through this novel. If you are looking for some fast paced excitement this isn't it. This is more about the characters that you've heard about but didn't really know. Mary Doria Russell is known for her vivid descriptions and characters and she delivers once again. Well worth the read.


Going solar without roof mounted solar, from flexible solar panels to solar generators
Those that live a mobile lifestyle know they have to be creative when addressing their energy needs. If you’re a van, RV, or motorhome dweller, it’s never been easier to generate energy off-grid thanks to portable solar panel systems. Portable solar panel systems are a great, affordable solution for many individuals, especially those who aren’t ready for a roof-mounted system.
What are Portable Solar Panel Systems?
Portable solar panel systems give you the ability to generate and store your own electricity using lightweight, portable solar panels, charge controllers, batteries, and inverters. Instead of mounting to the roof, portable solar panels are available in a few different forms, from folding suitcase panel kits that can be set up on the ground to flexible panels that can be hung from your vehicle or other vertical surfaces.
Like roof mounted panels, portable solar panels are made up of many solar cells made of silicon. Panels have both a positive and a negative layer, which creates an electric field. When sunlight hits solar panels, they create an electric current. Panels are then connected to a charge controller, which controls how much current goes through a battery. Batteries store and produce DC power. In order to use household AC appliances, such as blenders, laptops, and phone chargers, an inverter is used to change the power from DC into AC power.
Portable solar systems give you the ability to generate solar whether you’re at a cabin or in your RV, all with one system.
Also, for those with smaller energy needs or just need access to back-up power in case of emergencies, solar stations, such as Renogy’s Lycan Powerbox, are a great solution. They eliminate the need to worry about extra inverters, batteries, or wiring. It’s all included. Just hook up one of the compatible Renogy solar panels and you’ll be to access the energy of the sun.
Pros of Portable Solar Panel Systems
If you don't think you are going to need a lot of solar power, or you cannot justify installing roof mounted solar panels, portable solar power systems are a great option.
You can move them between vehicles or home.
A benefit of their portability is you can use it for multiple rigs, from your car or van to an RV. They can also be a great addition to a disaster preparedness kit.
You have more freedom with how you park.
With roof mounted panels, you’re often limited to which direction you park because you have to make sure the panels on your roof get maximum exposure to sunlight. With portable panels, you can place them wherever you need to.
It’s a great way to dip your toes in the solar waters if you’re not ready to mount panels on the roof.
If you’re new to solar panels and want to test it out before going through the full process of installing panels on the roof of your van or RV, portable solar panels are a great way to start harnessing the power of the sun.
Cons of Portable Solar Panel Systems
You have to set them up every time.
Because your panels aren’t mounted on your roof, you’ll have to set them up whenever you’d like to start charging your batteries. It’s not as convenient as just flipping a switch.
You can’t charge while you’re not present without risk of theft or damage.
One major benefit of rooftop panels is being able to charge panels while you’re away from your vehicle. However, if you’re concerned about theft or damage to the panels from weather or other outdoor elements,portable solar panels may not be the best option for you.
Are Portable Solar Panel Systems For Me?
I’m a weekend road warrior: Yes, portable solar panel systems are great for you. Portable solar power systems typically generate less energy than roof-mounted systems, but because you’ll only be camping on weekends, they should be more than enough to keep you charged on the open road.
I’m a boondocker full-time: We’d recommend a full roof-mounted solar panel system.
If you’re someone that often stealth camps in parking lots of urban areas, or in rest areas or other public areas around other people, a portable solar system may not be the best solution.
That being said, if you typically camp in remote areas, such as BLM land or national forests, a portable solar system could be a great solution for you. Keep in mind though that you’ll be able to install more panels on a roof to cover the maximum amount of energy needs. You also won’t have to worry about setting up enough panels outside your vehicle and exposing them to wildlife or the elements. Renogy has a range of roof-mounted kits for RVs available too.
I camp at RV parks and campgrounds with full-hookups: Yes, a portable solar panel system is a great back-up power solution.
If you’re typically camping in areas with access to shore power, you may not need a big roof-mounted system. Being able to set out panels if and when you need them to charge your batteries can be a great way to address your energy needs as an RV dweller.
I live in a cabin off-grid: We’d recommend a full roof-mounted solar panel system.
If you live in a cabin or tiny home with steady energy needs, we’d recommend looking into a rooftop installation. Mounting on the roof eliminates the need to have to worry about regularly handling different components, such as panels, and it’s also more cost effective for large systems to invest in a rooftop mounted system if you have the energy needs and capabilities. Renogy has a range of kits for homes and cabins.
Choosing your solar panels
Portable solar panels have some major differentiators: materials and form. Like roof-mounted panels, portable solar panels can come in polycrystalline or monocrystalline. They’re also available as suitcase panel kits or flexible panels.
Polycrystalline vs. Monocrystalline
Polycrstalline panels, which are light blue in color, are less efficient, but they are also cheaper than monocrystalline. The process used to make polycrystalline silicon is simpler and therefore costs less to produce. Monocrystalline solar panels, which are dark blue in color, have the highest efficiency rates and are more space-efficient than polycrystalline panels. However, they are also more expensive.
Flexible vs. Rigid Panels
There are a few things to consider when deciding between flexible and rigid solar panels. Flexible solar panels, which are often mounted to the roofs of vans and RVs, are typically thinner and weigh less than the rigid solar panels. They can also be hung from your RV or van or other vertical surface. Flexible solar panels are also typically a little cheaper than rigid panels. Rigid, suitcase-style panels come in folded forms and can be placed at an angle on the ground for maximum efficiency.
Renogy’s folding solar suitcase panels are made from the same high-efficiency cells, industrial-grade aluminum, and tempered glass as our rigid solar panels.They operate as a plug-and-play unit which can be connected to a charge controller and 12v battery out of the box.
What does a portable solar system cost?
Because of the variety of factors at play when it comes to system size and cost, a portable solar system can range from around $400 for the simplest, smallest set-up to upwards of $2,000 for larger installations with higher-quality batteries. Adding additional panels and batteries will also increase that cost as well.
The key components of a portable solar installation are:
- Solar panels
- Charge Controllers
- Battery storage
Again, a solar generator or power station will typically cover the need for a battery storage, wiring, and inverters, as it’s all packed within the station
Are portable systems cheaper than roof-mounted systems?
Depending on the size of the system, portable solar power systems can be comparable in cost to roof-mounted systems.Because you’re not having to mount the panels on a roof, you will save on any installation costs you may have incurred with a roof-mounted system. However, per watt costs for portable solar panel kits are typically a little bit higher than roof-mounted solar panel kits.
Should I buy a solar generator or power station?
Portable solar generators or power stations are a great solution for those that are low on space, but want to have access to energy. Because they operate mostly as an all-in-one solution, you’ll be able to hook up your solar panels to the generator without having to worry about extra wiring and inverters. They are ideal for those that like to car camp, have limited energy needs, and want to have a good way to stay powered in case of a disaster.
However, if you’re going to have steady, long-term energy needs on a regular basis, we’d recommend investing in a portable solar panel kit or rooftop panels.
How many solar panels will I need?
To size a system that will best fit your needs, we recommend making a list of all the devices you plan on running. Get the wattage information, or the amps and volts of the product, and provide an average run time per device.
The Renogy solar panel calculator is a great tool that makes it a quick and easy process to help determine your specific needs. The solar sizing calculator allows you to input information about your lifestyle to help you decide on your solar panel requirements. You’ll just need to know what total watts your electronics will consume, how long you plan on running the devices, your charge controller efficiency, and average sun hours per day. The solar panel calculator will then be able to tell you the minimum and recommended system size, as well as the recommended battery output.
Having an accurate understanding of your energy needs will give you a better idea of the costs and ensure you don’t under- or over-build a system.
What if I just want to charge my phone or tablet?
Renogy also has a range of smaller panels, power banks and solar chargers that make charging devices with the power of the sun easy and convenient. These panels are equipped with a USB port, allowing you to just plug-and-charge.
This means you don’t have to tap into your battery bank on your RV, van, or home to charge these devices, such as a laptop, mobile phone, or tablet.
In short, portable solar panels are a great solution for those that live their lives on the go, have minimal energy needs, and are looking for an affordable way to start using solar energy.


|The train is leaving the station...are you on it|
or just dreaming about going? Don't let
life slip away.
The next morning I woke up, drank my coffee and announced that I was buying new golf clubs so I could enjoy them. I asked my husband if he wanted to do the same. That was when I broke the news to him that we were going to die one day and I did not want the day to come and go without us enjoying some of the things we had been "waiting" to do or buy!
When we arrived in the desert this winter we made arrangements to add a small porch in the front of our park model. I had been asking to have it done since we moved into the park model several years ago. My husband was not very enthusiastic but all I could think was I did not want to have the porch completed and then die within the next few months. I wanted to do it now and enjoy it while we could. He relented and has built something that we will use for as long as we can live in our little winter house.
Now I am using "the waiting is over" phrase more and more. I will ask Are we going to do this or not. If we aren't going to get things done, I want to know so I can quit dreaming and planning. We have come to an age when we cannot wait to buy what we can afford or do what we can afford to do. Time is not on our side...not anymore. Tic toc!
Have you ever had this happen? Is the wait over for you? If it is, why?
I was just wondering!


Long-awaited A40 slip roads in Witney are a step closer to becoming a reality after Oxfordshire County Council's cabinet agreed the land acquisition process to build slip roads on the west side of Shores Green, which connects Oxford Hill and the A40. Design work is set to begin this summer to help identify the land needed for the slip roads.
The improvements are expected to ease town centre traffic and reduce pollution on Bridge Street, one of two areas in West Oxfordshire falling short of national air quality standards.
Welcoming the news, Robert said: "Pleased that OCC's Cabinet have agreed the land acquisition process to build the West facing slip roads at Shores Green on the A40. This is an important infrastructure upgrade that has been spoken about for many years, so it is great news for Witney that it is now being delivered."

BJ's - These were great value for money. Pretty basic nappy, but a good fit, easy to slide on/off and worked very well.
Target - These were probably the best own brand nappy we tried, they worked great and felt the nicest.
BabiesRUS - This was a surprise as they were the worst. They felt pretty horrid, were very thin but they were easy to put on.
We tried a variety of bathing products from Target, the sleep time body wash, shampoo and hair detangler, equivalents to the Johnson and Johnson line of products. We found these to be just as effective and pleasant to use and certainly worth the savings offered.
Own brand food. BJ's formula was significantly cheaper than the branded stuff and because all formula goes through the FDA, they're all essentially the same and as healthy so you might as well get the cheapest. Target, Hannafords and other stores now carry their own brands which is great, but BJ's is still the cheapest we found.
Snack foods, those cheese puffs and crackers etc. Hannafords have a good line, but so do Target and they are often more cheaper, especially when they are doing their deals. The food is pretty good too, including the little lunch pots and food trays for when the kids are a little older. BJ's are now carrying the branded stuff in bulk though and often have coupons for added savings.
Breast Pads. Many were tried, Avent, they were okay but a little thin, but they also have a 100 count for $11 which is the best value for money. Lansinoh, they were pretty good, but probably not the best value for money as they were quite expensive. Medela, were also expensive and not worth the extra cost. The biggest surprise was BabiesRUS, their own brand pads worked out to be almost the cheapest option, but they were great quality pads. The re-usable ones mostly ended up in the bin as they never ended up being practical and being quite expensive to maintain considering the cost and how many you'd need so that you'd have a supply with you while washing a set etc.
