Metal Braces are still commonly used for all types of orthodontic cases and are often the most economical braces treatment.
Advancements in technology make metal braces more comfortable and much smaller than they used to be. The impact on your appearance is therefore not as drastic. We even offer funky coloured brackets and bands to make your braces into a fashion statement.
Metal braces are still the brace of choice for many patients and are used extensively in children's NHS orthodontic treatment. They are used in orthodontics to align and straighten teeth, while also improving your dental health.
Metal braces use metal brackets and wires to move teeth, giving you a perfect smile.
When would I need Metal braces?
To get the smile you want, our Specialist Orthodontist will understand your dental concerns and determine if metal braces are suitable for you.
At your first appointment, we will take digital x-rays, photographs of your smile and models of your teeth in preparation for your metal braces to be fitted.
At your second appointment, we will fit your metal braces. Conventional metal braces use metal brackets and ties to hold the arch wire in place. A bracket will be bonded to the front surface of the teeth that need to be braced. An arch wire is threaded between the brackets which apply forces to the teeth to help the teeth to move.
Our Specialist will see you every 4-6 weeks to bend, shape and tighten your arch wires to achieve the desired results.
The treatment length of metal braces can vary and will depend on your case; usually it lies between 9-24 months.
Metal braces are ideal for complex dental irregularities.
When you first have your metal braces fitted and at your follow up adjustment appointments, you may experience a feeling of tension in the mouth as your teeth start to move into their new position. This is usually temporary and your mouth will adapt to your metal braces within a few days.
Your speech may initially be affected. However, your speech will improve as you become accustomed to your metal braces.
Metal braces are fixed to the front surface of your teeth and therefore cannot be removed for cleaning. It is therefore important that you brush well. We provide you with a complimentary orthodontic care kit with special interdental brushes to keep your teeth and brace clean.
Treatment using metal braces are as individual as you are. That's why the duration of treatment will differ from one person to the next. Treatment time usually takes 9-24 months but will vary according to your individual treatment needs and how complex your case is.
Our Specialist Orthodontist will see you every 4-6 weeks for around 20 minutes to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
How much will my Metal Braces cost?
We understand that price is an important consideration. Like any orthodontic treatment, the cost of metal braces is dependent on your suitability for treatment, the complexity of your treatment and how long your treatment will take.
Metal fixed braces are one of many options available to you. If you concerned about your braces showing throughout treatment, you may wish to consider one of our other braces options or cosmetic dental treatments..
Fixed metal braces were used to straighten these mildly crooked upper teeth, taking 6 months to complete.
This patient chose fixed metal braces to straighten her upper and lower front teeth giving a perfectly straight smile.
This patients cross bite was restored using metal braces, correcting the bite and function of her teeth.
Misaligned teeth were straightened with braces, enhancing this patients lips and facial features.


I've pretty much put all business on hold for the last week and a bit because my daughter has been really ill and no matter what is going on with business, there are times when it just isn't important, when other things take over and you realise that all that matters is that your loved ones are ok and happy. Now, finally, things seem to be improving and I decided to write this post as a kind of 'gathering of my thoughts', I guess, and maybe to raise some awareness of IBD (irritable bowel disease).
Before this time in my life, ulcerative colitis was just something I'd vaguely heard of – I didn't really know what it was about or what the symptoms were. I think maybe I had an idea in my head that it was something unpleasant and uncomfortable but I didn't know that it was an auto immune disease or that the symptoms can be horrific and cause lots of peripheral health problems.
My daughter had been under the weather for quite some time with throat infections and just generally feeling tired and listless andshe was getting multiple mouth ulcers all the time, which made eating anything sore and uncomfortable. That in itself was hard, even before all the other symptoms started. We had lots of trips to the doctor with no real resolution and we were worried but not really sure what was going on. It's her Leaving Cert year and we were caught up in all the exam pressure and worried about her future and concerned that she was so drained of energy that studying was a momentous task.
Things progressively got worse and she told me that she was having bowel movements with blood – that was a scary moment, I had no idea what it meant but knew that we had to go to the doctor again as soon as possible. We did this and that was where the word 'colitis' was first mentioned. The doctor did lots of blood tests and referred her for a colonoscopy. I know they say not to Google, but it's impossible not to! I read some more but didn't feel too panicky at that stage, just a little relieved that there was an explanation and hopefully a path to treatment.Unfortunately, in the ensuing weeks, whilst waiting for the colonoscopy, things deteriorated to the point where she was having 6 bowel movements a day and feeling really ill. She struggled through her Leaving Cert Art practical's which took place over two days (still not sure how she managed that!) but there was no sign of any improvement. We had to make the decision to bring her to A&E and my husband set off with her early on a Friday morning. Little did we know that a week and a half later, she would still be in the hospital.
It's been a rocky road – I would rather have gone through the whole thing myself a million times than see her suffer. No matter what age your kids are, any pain they feel is like a knife to the heart. She was put on steroids immediately and a drip to give her some nutrients. Because she went in on a Friday, we had to wait until the weekend was over for the colonoscopy to take place. She was fasting and not very happy and the constant taking of bloods didn't help. She eventually had her colonoscopy and it showed that her entire colon was inflamed – the diagnosis was Ulcerative Colitis and she was in the middle of a particularly severe flare up.She was monitored all through the week, having to endure stomach injections to prevent clots, bloods being taken every day (18 blood samples taken one day!) and being on and off a drip. To make matters worse, she developed tonsillitis whilst in the hospital and then needed IV antibiotics. Things were very slow to change, there didn't seem to be any progress in the first week and the doctor spoke about colon removal as an option. This was a really low point for me but in retrospect, he was just stating facts rather than suggesting it as an immediate plan. The trips in and out of the hospital every day were hard and trying to keep cheerful and keep her spirits up wasn't always easy.
Finally, the second weekend in the hospital, things began to change. She showed a little improvement and although the doctor was initially concerned with liver results and the fact that things weren't clearing up quickly, it began to turn around.
She's moved from steroids to immunomodulators - these weaken or suppress the immune system and work to reduce the inflammation. There are side effects as with any drug but I guess I'm hoping they will be minimal. They will make her more vulnerable to infection but should keep the inflammation under control.
Today is discharge day if nothing goes wrong! It's going to be a life of management but from talking to other people with Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis, it's serious but can be dealt with and managed – she will continue to take the drugs prescribed and we'll maybe look at diet and alternative therapies also. I'll just be happy to have her home with us again and it's put so many things in perspective, how much her being well is more important than anything. Also I've had so much support from friends and colleagues and even online business friends – I have to thank each and every one, the advice and support I've gotten has been amazing!
I know quite a few people who have this illness, yet live healthy and happy lives. Once it settles with medication and life changes, I have seen them recover extremely quickly. Stress is the enemy of this illness! My daughter is doing leaving cert too and it is such a difficult year for many students. I hope your daughter is feeling much better, very soon. All the best, liz.

The death of Thomas H. Tongue in 1902, member of Congress from the First Oregon District, was a loss to the public service which was keenly felt at the time and is still recognized. He was born in England, but, when a small boy, came to Oregon with his parents and settled in Washington County. After arriving at the age of manhood, he became a farmer, devoting his attention largely to the raising of blooded horses. He was also admitted to 1he bar and for many years before entering Congress was recognized as one of the leading lawyers of the State, He succeeded Binger Hermann in Congress in 1897, remaining there by successive elections without opposition until his death.
Mr. Tongue was one of the best public speakers in Oregon, aggressive, ready, forceful and witty. He was elected to the State Senate in 1888, serving in that body with distinction for four years. He was always a prominent figure at gatherings of Republicans and twice was president of the Republican State Convention.
Mr. Tongue was noted for his illegible handwriting, and it was a standing joke among his friends. He gave thanks to the man who first invented a typewriter and often remarked that his friends were more thankful than he was. I recall that, one year, he wrote a letter descriptive of Washington County for the New Year's edition of the Oregonian, to which his signature was attached in facsimile, as were those of the writers of articles descriptive of the other counties. My paper came to me during the holidays, while two Salem teachers in the public schools were visiting at the farm. Upon its receipt I discovered Tongue's letter, and his signature looked so much more like anything else one might imagine that I called the two teachers and asked them if they could decipher it. They, with my two daughters, looked over my shoulder, as I sat in my chair, and guessed almost every other name under the sun except that of Tongue.
The New Year's Oregonian, just received, contains an article descriptive of the resources of Washington County, which is so very admirable that I should like to know the name of its author. His name is attached to it, to be sure, but it is printed in facsimile and I cannot make it out. In fact, there are two school-ma'ams visiting at my home this week, and as I sat in my chair they came and, looking over my shoulder, failed utterly to decipher the signature.
Knowing that you are well acquainted in Washington County, it occurred to me to write you and make an effort to ascertain the author of the very excellent article, for I should like to compliment him on his splendid and thorough treatment of his subject.
I am after information. I received a letter a day or two ago written in such a wretched hand that I cannot make out who it is from, and I write to you, for the reason that the envelope has the postmark "Macleay" on it and, so far as I recall, you are the only person living there whom I know, I wish you would make some inquiry about the matter, for the poor devil may want to know something of importance that I can tell him. The only thing I am sure about is that the letter came from Macleay and that its author was sitting between two school-ma'ams when he wrote it.
In the month of August, 1902, Mr. Tongue joined a party of about twenty-five people who visited Crater Lake, in Klamath County — which, by the way, is one of the greatest natural wonders on the globe, being a sunken body of water on the very summit of the Cascade Mountains, six miles across, the surface of the water two thousand feet below the surrounding country. Teams and automobiles are driven to the verge of these bluffs, from which point one of the grandest scenes afforded in all the handiwork of Nature is presented to the beholder. These tremendous walls are almost perpendicular and the water's edge is accessible in one place only in all their vast extent.
Official soundings have been made by the government to ascertain the depth of this body of water, and it was found that the average is about fifteen hundred feet, though several measurements showed a depth of two thousand feet. On one side of this lake is a cone-shaped island composed of burnt shell lava whose summit is eight hundred feet above the surface of the water — all of which gives an abundant field for speculation as to its origin. Undoubtedly, however, there once stood where this lake now lies a huge mountain, probably similar to Mt. Hood, which was blown to atoms in some convulsion of Nature in distant ages, leaving its summit to settle into the vast chasm thus created. This afterward filled with water, at least to within two thousand feet of the surface, and, finding some subterranean outlet, remained at that stage — for Crater Lake has neither an inlet nor outlet that is visible.
One of the most singular and beautiful features of Crater Lake is that its water is as blue as the darkest indigo, looked at from a distance or while riding on its bosom in a skiff, but if dipped into a cup it is as clear as the purest mountain stream. This coloring is supposed to be caused by the atmospheric effect, in conjunction with the reflection of the sky into such an enormous cavity in the earth's surface. Taken as a whole, there is nothing in the world which will rival any of its remarkable features, and it is destined to become a most, popular resort for those who are investigating the causes and effects of Nature's mysterious ways.
Mr. Tongue joined our party on this outing, not only for the reason that he had never seen Crater Lake, but in the hope that his health, which had not been good for a year, would improve. The trip was made under the auspices of Will G. Steel, the veteran boomer of Crater Lake. We camped the first night out from Medford at Eagle Point, a delightful typical country village in a splendid agricultural section. The people in the neighborhood came to our camp after dark, and by huge bonfires several speeches were made, Mr. Tongue being especially happy in his remarks. But it was frequently remarked by different members of the party that he was in an enfeebled physical condition. When we made our camp on the banks of the picturesque Rogue River and most of us began fishing for the delicious mountain trout with which that stream abounds, Tongue spread his blankets down and rested, explaining to me that his condition was worse, he feared, than most people supposed.
The day following our arrival at the lake the entire party descended the precipitous path which leads to the water's edge, took a couple of treacherous skiffs that were there, and rowed across to "Wizard Island." It was a very foolhardy thing to do, considering the sort of boats we used, but we arrived safely and made the very difficult, because exhausting, ascent of the island, every step sinking a foot into the loose lava (I mean sinking a foot deep into it). In descending, one would often slide ten feet at a time after taking one step, moving a rod square of loose rocks in the operation.
The climb out of the lake was a most fatiguing undertaking and we scattered out in the ascent as each one felt able to proceed. We had all reached camp far ahead of Tongue, and were discussing the advisability of sending some one after him when he appeared at the top of the cliff not far away. Everybody remarked the awful pallor of his countenance and his lips were of such a deep purple color that general alarm was felt. He sank down on a nearby bunk, completely exhausted, and was unable to talk for several minutes. He soon recovered, however, and seemed once more himself; but when his death was announced some four months later as having occurred suddenly at Washington, it was not at all surprising to those who were his companions during his last vacation.

Due to dwindling capacity for existing aborted fetal cell lines to self-replicate, scientists in China have developed a new aborted fetal cell line, WALVAX 2 that will be used for viral vaccine production. The existing cell lines, MRC-5 and WI-38 are currently used in MMR, Varicella, Hepatitis-A, Shingles, some rabies and some polio vaccines.
WALVAX 2 is taken from the lung tissue of a 3 month gestation female who was ultimately selected from among 9 aborted babies. The scientists noted how they followed specific guidelines to mimic WI-38 and MRC-5 in selecting the aborted babies, ranging from 2-4 months gestation. They further noted how they induced labor using a "water bag" abortion to shorten the delivery time and prevent the death of the fetus to ensure live intact organs which were immediately sent to the labs for cell preparation.
About 8 weeks after fecundation an embryo becomes a fetus.
According to the studies published earlier this year in the NIH Pub Med, scientists noted that Walvax-2 cells replicated more rapidly than MRC-5 cells, attained greater population doubling and performed better or equal to the existing cell lines for culturing viruses.
In 1964 Leonard Hayflick introduced what is known as the "Hayflick limit" – how all normal cells have a finite lifespan and limited capacity to replicate before going into senescence and eventually, become unstable and form tumors. (L. Hayflick, The Limited In Vitro Lifetime of Human Diploid Cell Strains, Experimental Cell Research, Vol 37, 1964) Attempts to immortalize these cells to extend their lifespan have likewise introduced problems with tumor formations, as in aborted fetal cell line PER C6, introduced into the US in 2001.
Such seems to be the case with the introduction of WALVAX 2 to replace Hayflick's WI-38 and Medical Research Council's MRC-5. But instead of choosing from several WHO and FDA approved moral cell lines to replace them, they are using a new aborted fetal source.
"This is exactly what we have been saying for years," stated Debi Vinnedge, Executive Director for Children of God for Life an organization that has been monitoring the use of aborted fetal materials in vaccines and other consumer products. "The pharmaceutical industry is not going to change their use of aborted fetal cells when they have tacit approval from our moral and medical leaders."
For decades both the pharmaceutical companies and even some ethicists have insisted that the abortions to produce the cell lines used in vaccines were not done with that intention, that it was only a couple of abortions from the past and that no further abortions would be needed "now or in the future" to produce vaccines.
"This may be the biggest lie ever told to the American public and the world at large," said Mrs. Vinnedge. "Not only have there been hundreds of abortions directly involved with vaccine research – specifically for that purpose where they altered abortion methods to obtain intact fetal organs, but we are now seeing more and more abortions for fetal research and new cell lines emerging for viral vaccine cultivation."
While Children of God for Life has been trying to expose these truths for the past 15 years , those warnings are now ringing startlingly accurate as evidenced with the recent Planned Parenthood videos that have emerged through the Center for Medical Progress, (CMP) showing how live, fully intact fetuses have been harvested for aborted fetal research.

Clean bathing waters mean more tourists and Blue Flag beach rewards
By Linas Jegelevicius
IT'S WORTH IT: Bronius Martinkus says the Blue Flag qualification provides good advertising throughout Europe.
KLAIPEDA - With the summer holiday season in full swing, numerous foreigners and locals on holiday at a nearby swimming site tend to heed not only the local leisure activities, the specialty restaurants and cafes, but, importantly, also the quality of the water and environment.
"Speaking of the surface water quality of most monitored Lithuanian lakes and other bathing sites, in 68 percent of them the ecological situation could be described as 'very good and good,' while it is 'average' at 26 percent of the bathing sites, and only 6 percent of all monitored water sites revealed a 'bad or very bad' ecological situation," Mindaugas Gudas, director of Environment Condition Estimation Department (ECED) at the Environment Protection Agency, said. He emphasizes that the Neman basin, which takes up 75 percent of the country's bathing waters, has become considerably cleaner in recent years, seeing a 20 percent drop in inflow of phosphorlous and organic materials. "The main reason for the lesser pollution is the modernization and building of wastewater purification facilities," Gudas maintains.
He stresses that rivers and lakes in eastern Lithuania, further from the Neman basin, are particularly clean. "Ignalina region is considered to be the least ill-affected by human activities," the ECED representative points out. "It is due to the absence of direct pollution sources, such as high-volume industrial objects, and the prevalence of eco-farming there," he adds.
"Ignalina lakes, as a rule, surrounded by thick forests and free of private properties reaching their shores, have long been known for their fascinating splendor. Therefore, the region is called a jewel of Lithuania," Gintautas Kindurys, Ignalina municipality's council secretary says. "Sure, the acknowledgment attracts more local and foreign tourists to our municipality. It is a great boost to our economy," rejoices Ignalina municipality Mayor Bronis Rope.
What else makes the Ignalina region special are the particularly stringent environmental protection rules being applied to it as a part of the territory of the Aukstaitija National Park. Environment experts point out five Lithuanian regions with the best ecological conditions of monitored lakes and ponds: 25 such bathing sites were pointed to in Zarasai region; 22 in Ignalina region; 21 in Moletai region; 14 in Svencionai region and 9 in Lazdijai region. However, there are over a dozen lakes in which their ecological status is described by the experts as "bad."
In the sense of bathing water quality, Lithuania scores well on the European level as well. The recently released annual Bathing Water Report from the European Environment Agency (EEA) and the European Commission, which compares water quality in more than 21,000 coastal and inland bathing sites across the EU 27 states, reveals that quality of bathing water across Europe declined slightly between 2009 and 2010, but the overall quality was still high.
In the EEA report, Cyprus is seen as the star performer, with 100 percent of its bathing water sites meeting strict guide values, followed by Croatia (97.3 percent), Malta (95.4 percent), Greece (94.2 percent) and Ireland (90.1 percent). Though the agency did not enroll Lithuania among the five best countries, according to the criteria, it is presumably among the countries with the best bathing water sites, as the report pointed out that, in Lithuania in 2010, 100 percent of the coastal bathing waters met the mandatory water quality in 2010, the same as in the previous year. The rate of compliance with the guide values also reached 100 percent, which is an increase of 18.7 percent. According to the report, since the start of reporting in 2004, no coastal bathing beaches had to be closed during the season in Lithuania.
In 2004 the compliance rate in coastal bathing waters was relatively low, due to a large number of insufficiently sampled bathing waters. Since 2005, the compliance rate with mandatory values reached 100 percent, with a dip in 2007. Since 2006, the compliance with the guide values fluctuated, from 60 percent in 2007 to 100 percent in 2008 and 2010." As far as inland bathing waters are concerned, the EEA report shows that, in Lithuania, some 82.7 percent of the inland bathing waters met the mandatory water quality in 2010. This is, however, a decrease of 15.2 percent compared to the previous year. The rate of compliance with the guide values decreased from 60.4 percent to 45.9 percent, according to the report.
No bathing water was non-compliant with the mandatory value for Escherichia coli, the same as in 2009.
Three bathing waters (3.1 percent) were closed during the season. Since 2005, the compliance rate with mandatory standards remained about 98 percent, except in 2008 (100 percent) and 2010 (82.7 percent). The compliance rate with the guide values increased above 60 percent in 2008 and 2009, but it decreased to 45.9 percent in 2010, when 14.3 percent of the bathing waters were insufficiently sampled. Closed bathing waters were reported only in 2004 (11.3 percent) and 2010 (3.1 percent).
The analysis brings together data from more than 21,000 designated bathing water areas across Europe, approximately 70 percent of them coastal sites and the rest inland bathing waters. Sites are classified as compliant with mandatory values, compliant with the more stringent guide values, or non-compliant.
The report has been issued to help local bathers to be aware of water quality for the 2011 season in more than 20,000 bathing water sites across Europe.
However, the European Commission has, meanwhile, given 10 member states, including Lithuania, two months to transpose EU rules laying down criminal penalties against sea pollution and other environmental offenses. Directive 2008/99/EC on the criminal law measures to protect the environment should have been introduced into national law by Dec. 26, 2010. However, 10 countries - Cyprus, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Malta, Portugal, Romania and Slovenia - have so far failed to do so. Meanwhile, the EC points out, eight states, including Lithuania, have failed to comply with separate rules on pollution from ships.
Should the member states concerned fail to notify the Commission of implementation measures within two months, the cases may be referred to the European Court of Justice.
Until recently, Lithuania's Hygiene Institute was responsible for supervising water quality at bathing sites. However, from this year, the Health Education and Illness Prevention Center (HEIPC) has taken over the responsibility, measuring water quality in designated public bathing waters.
Its latest report, encompassing the water supervision results of the first fortnight of July, reveals that data have been received only from 72 percent of the monitored bathing sites. The latest HEIPC report showed that only six bathing sites did not correspond to the strict micro-biologic demands, revealing salmonella bacteria in the water sample from the Neman River at the town of Jurbarkas, virulent strains of Enterococcus bacteria in Panevezys Ekranas Factory bathing site, as well as in Birzai region and some other sites.
When it comes to cleanness, Lithuanian recreational waters scored much better in the EEA report, compared to Poland. Though the neighboring country boasts the large Masurian Lake District, having examined water from 315 Polish bathing sites, it turned out that a whopping 19 percent of all water sites do not comply with ecological requirements, and their water is of bad quality.
Being proud of the high bathing water quality in its lakes, rivers, lagoons and the Baltic Sea, which the European Environment Agency's report acknowledged, Lithuania, and especially its three Baltic Sea-bordering municipalities - Klaipeda Municipality, Neringa Municipality and Palanga Municipality - are seeking acknowledgment of the quality of their seashores by attempting to obtain the much-prized Blue Flags.
The concept of the Blue Flag was born in France in 1985, when French coastal municipalities were awarded with the Blue Flag for complying with sewage treatment and bathing water quality criteria.
In 1987, the "European Year of the Environment," the Foundation for Environmental Education in Europe (FEEE) presented the French concept to the European Commission, and the Blue Flag Program was launched as one of the year's community activities. Thus, the Blue Flag has become a hallmark of water, beach or marina quality. As of 2006, an international set of criteria is being used with some variation within to reflect the specific environmental conditions of beaches and marinas.
This year, like last year, three Lithuanian beaches - the central beaches of Nida and Juodkrante and Palanga Botanic Park beach - were awarded Blue Flags.
According to the program administrators, the Blue Flag is a quality mark not only of a beach, but also is an international acknowledgment of a resort. "To be eligible for the Blue Flag for a beach or marina, a municipality has to fulfill all imperative requirements regarding environmental education and information, water quality and environmental management, as well as water quality, safety and service quality," Renaldas Rimavicius, the Blue Flag coordinator in Lithuania, stressed to The Baltic Times. He says that Lithuania has participated in the program since 2001. Neringa municipality was the first to be awarded the Blue Flag, and was followed by Palanga municipality in 2004. Smiltynes Beach in Klaipeda municipality has also been awarded the Blue Flag; however, two years ago, following an inspection of the beach by chairman of the Blue Flag International Council, Malcolm J. Powell, it was taken away due to "the Blue Flag program-contravening criteria." Local reporters were quick to uncover the deplorable status of the beach, finding heaps of cigarette butts on it, seeing dogs being walked all over and no available garbage bins around. Later on, the program officials pointed to missing public information on the Municipality-initiated environmental education activities on the beach, and even to locked container toilets.
Klaipeda municipality, however, instead of fixing the drawbacks, decided to withdraw from the Blue Flag Program, giving up its two Blue Flags for another two beaches in Melnrage. Klaipeda municipality officials, asked about the abandonment, were quoted by local media as saying: "We believe that participation in the program is not as much about quality of beaches, as it is much more about money and, therefore, promotional campaigns."
The FEEE charges local municipalities 20,000 litas (5,797 euros) a year for the Blue Flag membership. "The annual fee is high. Therefore, instead of paying the money to the Blue Flag administrators, we would rather give it for the maintenance and cleaning of the beaches, which is a much more rational decision," Irena Sakaliene, the then-head of Klaipeda municipality's City Management Department, said to the daily Klaipeda two years ago.
Palanga Mayor Sarunas Vaitkus, however, pursues a second Blue Flag for Palanga. "The Blue Flag is a quality mark of a beach, maintaining its impeccable management, cleanness and proper infrastructure. In other words, it is a business card of a resort town. The more Blue Flag beaches we will have in Palanga, the more prestigious the resort of Palanga will be. Furthermore, the certificate-bearing beaches are usually marked on special European maps, which is also very important," Vaitkus pointed out.
Palanga municipality is to invite representatives of the Lithuanian Green Movement, the FEEE-representing legal entity in Lithuania, to evaluate some other beaches and their infrastructure in Palanga. Meanwhile, the resort already has one Blue Flag beach at its Botanic Park. "Most likely, we will not be able to obtain membership in the program this year. However, next year, definitely, it will be our task," the Palanga mayor said. He says that, in order to correspond to the strict criteria of the program, Palanga will have to put in order wooden trails for disabled people in wheelchairs on the beach.
"I welcome the idea by our mayor. As far as direct benefits of the participation in the Blue Flag Program are concerned, they are little or absent in terms of money-generating. However, the membership, definitely, creates a large added value in the sense of popularizing our resort in the whole of Europe, as this kind of information is spread in all tourism information bureaus, as well as travel agencies. It certainly attracts larger flows to Palanga, and the annual fee of 20,000 litas certainly pays off. No doubt about it," Bronius Martinkus, deputy director of Palanga municipality administration, said to The Baltic Times.
Renaldas Rimavicius, the Blue Flag coordinator in Lithuania, says he is optimistic about more Lithuanian beaches' involvement into the Blue Flag Program. "Some beaches in Neringa, like the ones in Preila and Pervalka, as well as several Palanga beaches have excellent chances of joining the venerable program. In regards to inner bathing waters, bathing sites in Kupishkis lagoon have great prospects in obtaining the Blue Flag. I hope they will bring their infrastructure up to the FEEE requirements and will be awarded the flags," Rimavicius said.

CPanel has introduced a new backup system which is going to replace it's legacy backup system. At some point in the near future, CPanel will no longer support their legacy backup system. In an effort to stay ahead of this, our upstream providers we will be converting the backups from the legacy system to the new backup system on a few servers every day. They don't anticipate any loss of backups, but it's always advisable as per our terms of service to retain your own backups as well. Our upstream providers have tested and verified the upgrade and don't expect any issues.
The new Backup system also now supports multiple incremental backups.
Retention behavior - When a complete backup finishes, the system deletes the oldest backup. When the system backup partially completes (fails), the system will not delete the oldest backup, and it will continue to retain the oldest backups. This procedure ensures that the system retains at least one retained complete backup.
After the next complete backup finishes, the system will delete the oldest backups to return to the desired number of backups.
** This upgrade will run daily from the stated start date until upgrades have been completed on all affected servers. It is expected to take some time before all servers will be upgraded.
During this maintenance window, our upstream providers will be upgrading the version of the control panel software on the Cpanel servers. This upgrade will bring some exciting new features such as EA4, CPanel's new system for Apache management, PHP-FPM, and a host of security patches. We do not anticipate any major issues during this upgrade, although there maybe some small outages.
The update will allow you to be able to use a PHP selector where you can test upgraded versions of PHP simply by logging into your control panel and selecting the version you want to use. This is especially helpful for software upgrade tests and subsequent deployments.
This announcement only applys to our CPanel based servers. It does not apply to our Business Class and Corporate web hosting plans.
It has come to our attention that some emails that may have been sent to us via our ...@loungenetwork.co.nz domain, may not have been getting through. Also forms on our website may have suffered from the same problem. This has been caused by out upstream provider Orcon, getting their mail servers IPs blacklisted, which has meant that emails sent to us may have bounced back to the sender. If you have been affected , please re-email us your message, and it should now come through. We apologise for any inconvenience.
Please note that we have for the last few years moved to using our loungenetwork.net domain for our primary email addresses. So please use our …@loungenetwork.net email addresses from now on to email us, which are displayed on our contact page.
There are reports that Spark / Xtra / Yahoos email system is currently blocking authenticated third party email addresses, from sending via their SMTP server.
Our office will be closed for Wellington Anniversary day.
Any support emails during this period will therefore take longer to reply to. As always our servers will be monitored 24/7 by the datacentre techs, and should any issues occur, they will be dealt with as soon as possible. Please note that our office is closed, we will not update any of our network status pages during this period. however that won't mean that issues that may occur, won't be getting addressed.
There was a brief MySQL 5 database issue earlier this afternoon for some NZ hosted websites. This caused slowness, and some connection issues. This has now been resolved.
Some orcon hosted email accounts may be experiencing issues with Webmail, POP3 and Mail Delivery services.
Engineers are currently investigating and the current estimated time for resolution is 30mins to an hour.

Ever puzzled what it would be prefer to stay in a pole barn house? Ever needed to build one? I did, and a number of other years ago got down to just do that. My aim was to construct a low price per sq. foot house, one thing easy to erect and also needed it to appraise as a stick constructed home (for resale value). Pole development met all my wants. There are a number of minor drawbacks to my little air nailer. The very first thing you want is air; this can be a pneumatic nailer, and you need an air compressor to create the stress to fire the nail gun. Compressors could be noisy, and you want a length of hose to connect the nailer back to the compressor.

The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage 175 Who Picked Up Your Phone Yesterday?
The next day, Lin Che's stomach was hurting terribly when she woke up.
However, she still had to go to the venue to begin preparing. The program was going to begin that night, so it was extremely busy at the venue in the daytime. There were people rehearsing and people doing one last dry-run.
Yu Minmin came to knock on her door early in the morning. The room that the staff on this side had prepared for Yu Minmin was a small standard room. The room they had prepared for Lin Che was a suite. It was already considered very good treatment for a guest like her. It made Lin Che ecstatic for a long time. She wanted Yu Minmin to just come and stay with her, but Yu Minmin still said that she wanted her to stay in the room a little more comfortably. After all, she still had a full day of activities today.
In the morning, Yu Minmin went upstairs to look for Lin Che. After knocking on the door, the door opened. However, the person who appeared before Yu Minmin was Gu Jingze, looking refined from head to toe.
The corners of Yu Minmin's mouth twitched. She looked at Gu Jingze. "President Gu… "
Gu Jingze hummed. "Lin Che is still in the shower."
"Oh. Then, I'll wait for a bit. We still have time."
Naturally, Yu Minmin did not tactlessly go in and wait. She stood outside obediently. Gu Jingze did not close the door either. In no time, Lin Che ran out.
When she saw Yu Minmin, Lin Che also felt a little embarrassed.
Who knew that Gu Jingze would suddenly come in the middle of the night? Right now, he was even in the same room as her. Now that Yu Minmin had seen them, her thoughts were definitely going to stray in the wrong direction.
However, it was true that nothing had happened between them at all.
Lin Che said, "I'm done. Let's go."
"Hey, there's no rush. Prepare properly. Make sure you didn't forget anything."
"There was nothing much to bring either."
"That's true as well. Come on! Let's go downstairs."
Fortunately enough, she had not asked those two assistants to follow her upstairs. Otherwise, they would have definitely fainted from shock upon seeing this scene.
Luckily, Yu Minmin had known from early on. Furthermore, she had been in the industry for so many years. It was only because there was nothing she had not seen before that she did not scream out of shock when she unexpectedly saw Gu Jingze there.
Lin Che hastily said to Gu Jingze, "Then, I'll leave first."
"Alright. Hey, come back." Gu Jingze pulled Lin Che back and stuffed a pad into her bag.
It was only then that Lin Che recalled that she had still forgotten to bring something.
"I almost forgot."
"You're so forgetful." Gu Jingze looked at this muddled Lin Che.
Lin Che stuck her tongue out at him. "I'm happy to be like this!" Then, she quickly shut the door.
Only after they went out did Yu Minmin look at Lin Che and ask, "Why didn't you tell me that someone had suddenly come?"
Lin Che said, "He came all of a sudden yesterday night, I… "
"Looks like President Gu seriously can't bear to part with you. After only one day of not seeing you, he quickly came after you." Yu Minmin smiled as she teased her.
Lin Che's face turned red but she still continued to look at her speechlessly. "Of course not, alright?"
"If not, why would he suddenly go to S City all the way from B City? Isn't it to surprise you? I couldn't tell that President Gu was quite the romantic. I always felt that he was a stern person who was serious in speech and manner."
"He's really a very stern person. And he's definitely not romantic." Lin Che said, "This time, he really came for a reason."
Lin Che knew that he only came because he thought that she was really sick.
Yu Minmin said, "No wonder I saw that the entire level was cordoned off when I came up. So it was because Gu Jingze had suddenly come. I was still thinking that you still haven't become such a big shot. You didn't need to seal off your room all the time and even have them empty out the whole floor. All this time, it was because of Gu Jingze. Then, I was probably able to go in because Gu Jingze and I met before. He only let me in because he knew that I was your manager.
Lin Che said, "Really?"
Lin Che did not know at all that Gu Jingze had such strict security even when he went out.
Yu Minmin said, "But Gu Jingze's personality is still not bad. Earlier, he made it a point not to close the door at the entrance earlier because he knew that I was your manager."
"… " Lin Che said, "Why does that tell you that he's not bad?"
"Of course. Even if he closed the door, I wouldn't have said anything and I would have just waited at the door. But he really knows how to leave people some leeway. He made it a point not to close the door, which showed a very respectful attitude towards another person."
Thus, Yu Minmin now felt too that Gu Jingze's personality was not bad. Her impression of him also improved.
Lin Che said dumbly, "Oh."
Yu Minmin said, "He did all of this out of consideration for your reputation. If it wasn't for you, he definitely wouldn't have been so respectful towards me."
"Of course not. In actual fact, he's really a person who places great emphasis on good manners. After some time, you'll realize this."
"You really don't know how Gu Jingze deals with people outside. Given Gu Jingze's status, he really doesn't need to show respect to anyone at all. Good manners? The well-mannered way he speaks to you is already respectful because his status is so obvious."
"Alright. I understand now. It's useless even if I explain it to you. Right now, you're the little woman who is being pampered to the skies by Gu Jingze. Your level of intelligence is zero."
"Get lost!"
Lin Che thought to herself, How did Gu Jingze pamper her at all?!
Much less to the skies.
She truly did not know because Gu Jingze had definitely been excessively mean to her all along.
Of course, there were times when he did treat her well too. However, he did this only because he treated her as his wife.
Sure enough, the venue was a complete, busy mess.
Lin Che was in the dressing room getting her make-up done. Very soon after, Qin Wanwan also came in.
She specially brought coffee for everyone. Her reputation was fairly good. Everyone who saw her come in greeted her.
Qin Wanwan placed the coffee beside Lin Che. Lin Che thanked her and she sat down as well. She sat beside Lin Che as they did their make-up together.
"Lin Che, hehe. Tell me the truth. What naughty things were you up to last night that made your complexion so bad now?"
"… " How did she know that Lin Che had done naughty things?
However, it was indeed true that she had done something naughty. She almost did something very, very bad.
Now that she thought about it, her period had suddenly come at an opportune time. Initially, it was probably going to come sometime during these two days, but Lin Che had always had a muddled mind. She did not really remember the exact date that it was supposed to come. However, perhaps the blood suddenly rushed out when she got excited yesterday.
"I'm on my period, alright? That's why my complexion is bad," Lin Che said.
Qin Wanwan looked at her sympathetically. "That's so tragic. Your period came early for the live broadcast."
"By the way, I have medicine with me. Later, I'll get some for you to try. It's really good for relieving pain. If you're feeling unwell, you can just take it."
"Why are you being so formal with me?" As Qin Wanwan asked this, she leaned closer again, smiled, and said, "Then, who was the person who picked up the call last night?"
"What call?" Lin Che's face was full of confusion.
Qin Wanwan said, "Don't act dumb. Yesterday, I gave you a call to ask you out to have fun. In the end, it was a man who picked up the call. Hey, tell me. Exactly what man are you hiding beside you? You even brought him along when you came to attend the event. Hey, by the way, that voice was so alluring. It sounded especially pleasant to the ears and it even sounded a bit familiar when I heard it. I seem to have heard it somewhere before."
Immediately, Lin Che thought of one person… Gu Jingze.
Who else could it be but him?
He, he, he really picked up a call on her phone?
Lin Che looked at Qin Wanwan in a daze. At that moment, she did not know what she should say either. If she told outsiders that she had a man… then, how would she deal with it?
She and Gu Jingze had been in a secret marriage all along.

2. Calculate the water required to bring the soil to MCD.
Using a test plot of ground (1 sq yd X 2" deep), determine how much water it takes to bring loose, tilled soil to its Optimum Moisture Content (OMC). This is the moisture content that will bring the soil to its Maximum Compaction Density (MCD). Calculate the amount of water required for your project.
Note: At 7% to 11% moisture, one can estimate the water required by measuring the area and multiplying it by 1.5 to 2 quarts per square yard for every 2 inches of depth (1.5 to 2.0 liters per square meter) to be treated.
Till the soil to the desired depth (6" or greater) until it is pulverized. Hard surfaces may require disking before the tiller is used.
Mix the TerraZyme into the calculated amount of water (gray water is acceptable) and agitate to ensure a uniform mixture. For projects requiring multiple tanks of water, calculate the amount of TerraZyme required for the volume of your tank from the estimate made in Step 2.
Windrow or cover the treated soil to prevent excessive moisture loss and allow to soil to set for 24 to 48 hours. If covering the area is not possible, add an extra % of water so that it can be compacted at or below OMC the next day. One can also wet the soil the next day, or when preparing for the compaction step.
After 24-48 hours, the soil will have begun to cure, dry, and firm up. Spread the curing soil in the windrows across the roadbed and shape the road with a crown or a slope to allow for proper drainage. Compact the roadbed thoroughly. (A 6+ ton vibrating compactor is recommended.) The road will be ready for use following compaction and the soil's will continue to cure for several weeks.
Top and bottom water resistant layers will help preserve the road from water damage. Mixing ROAD-HARD into the soil's body will add extra cohesion and strength to soils with low clay content.

The wonder called Jubril al-Sudani
in Festus Eriye
The 'Cabal' in Aso Rock don't always get the credit they deserve. We say the most uncomplimentary things about them when, actually, the guys are geniuses. Over the Jubril Aminu al-Sudani saga, they have gone and outdone themselves.
Now the whole world is talking about us and comedians on late night American TV shows are making jokes about President Muhammadu Buhari.
Just think of the breath-taking conception of the Jubril project and the flawless execution. It is unbelievable that Nigerians, long derided as serial bunglers, could have pulled this off.
God works in mysterious ways but to have created a Jubril who has Buhari's almost exact physical attributes – such that he can pass for the president without raising curiosity – must be the 8th wonder of the world.
When I contemplate how many months the Sudanese impostor has been embedded in the Presidential Villa, I break out in cold sweat at night.
But what I find most impressive is how the Cabal managed to track down this doppelganger in some dark corner of Africa, ready and willing to be pressed into service in Nigeria without much ado. This surely rates as the 9th wonder.
Credit for that must go to Independent Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) leader Nnamdi Kanu for providing the intelligence. Never mind that not too long ago he was calling leading lights of the Cabal zoo keepers. In the dark, shadowy world of espionage anything can happen: even bitter foes can swap information when conditions permit.
Remember that shortly before vanishing form these shores Kanu constituted the Biafran Intelligence Services or something in that general direction. With such resources and far-flung network it would have been a piece of cake scooping the CIA, KGB, MOSSAD, SSS, NIA, MI6 and media – Western and local – to what was, until he blew it open, the world's best kept secret.
Truly, Jubril is a wonder who deserves an Oscar for his amazing acting skills. He managed in a matter of months to perfectly replicate Buhari's mannerisms, idiosyncrasies and speech patterns, developed over 75 years without anyone being the wiser.
Imagine, he successfully fooled members of the Federal Executive Council who regularly interact with him and even sometimes travel overseas with him. He managed to pull wool over the eyes of the likes of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, APC national chairman Adams Oshiomhole, governors and the like.
Aside Osinbajo, I accept he could have beguiled these other gentlemen because of their irregular interaction with the president. What I find incredible is that Governors Ibikunle Amosun and Rochas Okorocha fell for his tricks! Given that they virtually moved into Aso Rock in pursuit of lost gubernatorial tickets, you would think they would have noticed something fishy.
Come to think of it, the real Buhari would have simply ordered Oshiomhole to hand the APC tickets to the governors' chosen ones – given how close they are to him. Only a Sudanese could have been so obdurate, as to be taking orders from a mere party chairman. So, if you needed further evidence that there's more to this Jubril business than meets the eye, this is it.
Jubril and the Cabal are a wonder to have successfully procured the cooperation of First Lady Aisha Buhari – a noted straight talker who shoots from the hip and would not have any truck with monkey business.
Someone who just nearly outed two unnamed powerful men who have grounded her husband's administration, is not the sort of figure to casually acquiesce in such a grand conspiracy without turning whistle-blower. To have secured her silence is the 10th wonder of the world.
Let's not forget that Aisha and the Cabal have not always been the best of pals. Her outburst against them back in the day, forced Buhari to openly assure the international community that her influence was limited to the "other room." But then in power circles there are no permanent friends or foes, only permanent or common interests.
Jubril and the Cabal are a wonder because in their rush to install the usurper, they forgot to put in place an exit strategy. Would the man retire to farm life in Daura or would he be shipped back to the Sudan in a crate in 2023 when Buhari's second term – assuming he wins in 2019 – expires?
We've only been given sketchy outlines of the complicated deal that would keep Jubril in power, presiding over our commonwealth ad infinitum. The only way that would happen is by passing a constitutional amendment that takes away the executive's two-term limit.
For this to work, Senate President Bukola Saraki, would have to be co-opted. But I doubt that the man, still embittered at his treatment in APC, would play ball. The sheer prospect of another four years of Buhari, or of Jubril carrying on his policies, would surely have the Kwara strongman grinding his teeth in rage. That would leave the Jubril project in grave danger of implosion. Surely, the Cabal wouldn't want that.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves. There's still the little matter of 2019 and how the outing of the impostor from the Horn of Africa could affect the outcome of the polls.
An influential church leader has already preached an explosive sermon on the matter demanding answers. It didn't matter that Buhari had just told Nigerians in Poland that he was not a clone: it was really him in flesh and blood.
Rather than douse the fire, the president's use of the word 'clone' inflamed things. The suspicious insist they never raised cloning but talked about an impostor who is in situ in the seat of power running things. All talk of cloning was simply a clever attempt to muddy the waters!
On social media, diehard believers in the legend of Jubril would have none of the president's explanations. As one post sagely put it: what do you expect him to say? Did you really think he would admit to being the Sudanese mystery man?
After digesting the comments, it suddenly dawned on me why over 40 million Nigerians have mental disorders according to the Federal Ministry of Health. But the more this saga rumbles on, the more I am convinced that even this figure is a grievous undercount.
As for the PDP, it has not come out to say it believes its presidential candidate would be running against a foreign impostor. I suspect that at the right moment it would raise the grave constitutional implications of the matter and call on INEC to declare force majeure.
What they have said, however, is that the Jubril saga would not have arisen had there been greater openness at a time Buhari was hospitalised in London for over 100 days. Flowing from that, the president is being bashed over the head for making Nigeria the butt of jokes internationally.
But let me respectfully disagree. Even if there was livestreaming of Buhari's 100 days in London, people would still believe what they want. And that is not unique to Nigeria.
America has one of the highest literacy rates in the world but despite their supposed enlightenment, the cancer of racism caused the Birther Movement to thrive for much of Barack Obama's presidency. One of the key promoters of the suggestion that the US' first black president might be a foreigner born in Kenya or Indonesia, is the incumbent Donald Trump.
Even after the official birth certificate showing that Obama was born in Hawaii surfaced, many chose not to believe. Instead, another round of conspiracy theories flared with many carefully scrutinising the document to point out supposed flaws suggesting it was faked.
As far as 2019 is concerned, I would say that Buhari might just be the luckiest man in politics. Given the state of the economy you would expect his foes to focus on that and the security challenges in different parts of the country to embarrass him.
Instead, those who say they want to conduct issue-based campaigns are allowing themselves to get sucked into celebrating the Yusuf story in the vain hope that it would somehow hurt the incumbent and the ruling party.
Unfortunately for them, outlandish stories never toppled anybody in these parts. In the late 80s the activist Tai Solarin got himself into trouble by lending his distinguished voice to the rumour that a certain $2.8billion oil proceeds had evaporated from the federation account. The story was part of the fuel that fired up the SAP riots at the time.
After he was grilled by a panel of inquiry as to the source of this weighty allegation, he said he picked it up from Ebony magazine. Sadly, there was nothing of the sort ever published by the paper. He equally said he heard it in the Molue bus! The Ibrahim Babangida regime ruled for several years thereafter, while a respected and honourable man was ridiculed and humiliated.
The opposition can continue offering Nigerians comic relief by giving life to the Yusuf tale by moonlight. But they may wake up on Election Day to discover that they have wasted time chasing shadows and have not offered the electorate a reason to oust the incumbent.
On the other hand, they could get back to the serious business of discussing the challenges facing our people and make this a competitive race.
The choice is theirs. They may be presently enjoying the jokes of American comedians Jimmy Kimmel and Trevor Noah, but what matters is who laughs last come February.

The 'Beyond the Mat' of hockey movies - inherently fascinating and sad
21 March 2016 | by Quinoa1984 – See all my reviews
I think that this movie's appeal is that it stretches beyond being solely for hockey fans, and I'm sure that's what director Alex Gibney has in mind. It's not even necessarily about hockey - it could have been just as well about football or, of course, wrestling, and the 2000 doc Beyond the Mat which is about broken down wrestlers past their prime came to mind - as it is about male aggression and only being good at one real thing.
The main subject is an ex player who played most of his time for the Montreal Canediens named Chris Nilan, though several subjects interviewed who were part of the group of players who were around for decades known as enforcers (though recently all but discontinued from the sport). Their whole task, though not discouraged from playing hockey or maybe getting good at it per-say, was to beat the every-loving crap out of other players and protect players who could actually be great (a player from the Oilers, McSorley, for example, is interviewed, and he claims and not without justification that he helped Gretzky get to where he was as "The Great One").
We see how these really, truly tough bunch of people - McSorley's career ended abruptly after hitting Donald Brahseur in the head with his stick - got by in a sport that, for a very long time, actively encouraged violence within the bounds of the hockey rink. Nilan as the key person in Gibney's film is a figure who is initially a figure of just outright, full-blown masculine-meat-headed status, a guy who plays old-timer games and still talks like he's about to punch someone out. He comes from a place where, psychologically, it made some sense coming from an abusive home (or just 'how things were done then' type of thing between "tough" dads and their sons) and used whatever skills he had with his brawn over his brains in an activity that made it a career.
Not that Nilan didn't simply love to play hockey, but one of the fascinating things is how he had to really learn how to play once he was hired by the Canadians, and got the support of a coach who saw a little more in him than being "Knuckles" as he was nicknames (and incidentally, as a strong visual approach, to open the film we first see Nilan's hands and he is even missing a knuckle by the point of his life that he's interviewed).
The first 2/3rds of the movie is more or less a look at his career in the NHL, sprinkled with some other interviewees who worked as enforcers (in short, if you were there on the Flyers or playing against them, watch out). The last third, however, is where it gets depressing but illuminating - his life post hockey, as he retired at 33 (as Nilan quietly and sadly remarks, "I was old"), and tried to work in insurance before becoming kind of aimless and adrift and, worse yet, on drugs.
The Last Gladiators will have some insight for people who follow hockey or were following the teams at the time (and Nilan was on the team when they won the Cup in 1986, albeit this was years after their incredible streak), but it's much deeper than that for people who don't follow the sport or couldn't care less. As a story of a man who has gone through a lot in life Gibney's approach is revelatory in that this man is not likable, certainly not someone you can easily see yourself hanging out with for long, but he becomes a tragic figure due to his career path and the limits of his skill set.
Though the documentary could have gone a little more into the further troubles of enforcers post-career (some of the major ones, even those interviewed here oddly enough, have died due to CTE, which is usually found in football and boxing players), what is here is enough for Gibney to reveal this man to us in a way we wouldn't see otherwise. It's a raw, sad movie about the bittersweet levels that come with being a TOUGH GUY (in caps), the desolation that is practically inevitable for those who use their skill sets to beat the s*** out of people... you know, for the game!

Dalby ligger umiddelbart syd for Kolding by i Dalby Møllebæks dalstrøg i Dalby Sogn (Kolding Kommune). I forstaden ligger blandt andet Dalby Kirke, klynger af gårde og bebyggelse med karakter af landsby. Der er udlagt store arealer til boligformål bl.a. 34 grunde til opførelse af lavenergihuse i området. Den lokale skole, Dalby skole, har ca. 300 elever fr 0. til 6. klasse.

I de bløde bakkedrag i Dalby ligger kirken på det højeste punkt i landskabet. Området var tidligere domineret af de to store gårde: Akerhus, som er nyrestaureret, og Dalbygård , som er under omfattende restaurering. Dalby Møllebæk er grænse mod vest og mod byområderne Brændkjær og Tved. Dalstrøget omkring bækken skaber forbindelse for flora og fauna mellem fjorden og det åbne land.
