One of America's finest greenhouses! The Sonoma model is built according to the same modular design of the Riverside model, making it sturdier, heavier, more elegant looking, and easier to assemble. All are upgraded to the crystal clear tempered-plate glass sides 3/16" thick and set in Butyl, and the roofs are made of durable fiberglass (also available in double-wall polycarbonate). The result is a completely finished panel that should last for generations. The upgraded French door adds a classier look, and the side and roof vents will provide your plants with fresh circulation.
San Bernardino greenhouses are used in schools and universities throughout the United States where quality and durability are required. Redwood is the perfect material for a greenhouse, unsurpassed as a garden structure, and ours is precision milled by skilled craftsmen. The Sonoma model is shipped as a kit that you assemble, but is also available in pre-built panels that are very easily bolted together.
Redwood is resistant to weather, insects, decay and should last a lifetime with no special treatment. There is no finer or more beautiful wood available for a greenhouse. San Bernardino frames are made entirely of specially selected kiln-dried redwood and are bolted together for strength and stability. The redwood will never rust, corrode, crack, or require painting and is unaffected by changes in temperature. Our standard models greenhouses are all clear or better California redwood with all parts pre-cut; all drilling done here at our factory.
This greenhouse's all bolt construction makes it easy to assemble for two people with just an adjustable wrench, Philips screwdriver, hammer and ladder. Everything comes from the factory with all parts precut and pre-drilled and all hardware is sorted for your convenience. It usually takes two people two to three days to put it together.
We strongly recommend adding the redwood bench option to increase your growing area. Benches for the seven foot wide model are 28 inches deep and 30 inches high while benches for the 9 and 14 foot models are 33 inches deep and 30 inches high. All benches are sold in pairs.

Brush Fires Send Smoke Over LA Basin
By John Cadiz Klemack	• Published at 6:33 pm on August 25, 2009
Mark J. Terrill, AP
San Gabriel Canyon in the Angeles National Forest was closed Thursday because of two brush fires burning in the area, and some mandatory evacuations were in effect, forest officials said.
The Morris Fire, which broke out late Tuesday afternoon near San Gabriel Canyon Road and the Morris Dam and Reservoir, scorched about 1,800 acres and was 45 percent contained, said Rachel Mailo of the U.S. Forest Service. Voluntary evacuations were in effect for residents living above Valley of the Moon.

The Station Fire, which broke out about 3:20 p.m. Wednesday near Angeles Crest Highway above La Canada Flintridge, was 300 acres and 10 percent contained. Camp High Hill and Clear Creek School were under mandatory evacuations.
Five helicopters and an air tanker attacked the Station Fire from the air while some 200 firefighters worked on the ground to establish containment lines, fire officials said.
Under the forest closure, which went into effect at 2 p.m., "going into or being upon National Forest System lands, roads or trails in the area will not be allowed," except for people or organizations with special-use permits, said Sherry Rollman, of the Angeles National Forest.
The closure includes State Route 39, Glendora Mountain Road and East Fork Road and will remain in effect until the Morris Fire has been fully contained, Rollman said.
A violation of the order is punishable by a fine of not more than $5,000 for an individual or $10,000 for an organization, or imprisonment for not more than six months or both, Rollman said.
Exempt from the order are people or organizations holding "special use permits for sanctioned activities within the forest," Rollman said.
Some 1,200 firefighters have been battling the two wildfires, which also prompted the evacuation of East Fork Road in the Camp Williams area, where there is a mobile home park and a cafe. Fifteen residents were affected by the order, said Jennifer Sanchez of the Angeles National Forest. An evacuation center was set up at El Robles Intermediate School in Claremont.
Highway 39 and Glendora Mountain Road will remain closed while fire crews battle the blaze, Sanchez added.
Angeles Forest Highway, which goes to Palmdale, was to remain closed due to the blaze, Sanchez said, but Angeles Crest Highway, which was blocked out of La Canada Flintridge, was expected to re-open today.
Fire officials believe the fires, fueled by bone-dry vegetation, will take a couple days to fully contain.
"It depends on the weather and what kind of progress they make on fire line construction," said Bruce Quintelier of the Angeles National Forest.
The only injuries reported so far were two firefighters stung by bees, according to fire officials.
Because of dry and hot conditions, the forest is under a Red Flag warning signifying a high risk of wildfire into Friday night.

What should you wear? How different is maternity boudoir from regular boudoir?
When should I plan my session?
If you're planning on a boudoir session, we should do your photos around 32-36 weeks – that way you have a lovely baby bump to show off.
Outfit-wise, maternity boudoir isn't that much different from regular boudoir. Pose-wise, we tend to go a little more "motherly" and there will be a lot of showing off the belly area!
Let's get back to the "what to wear" portion now. Honestly, it's not much different than regular boudoir in that you want to find things that flatter & make you feel amazing!

HomePalestinians Head to D.C. To Fight West Bank Fence
Palestinians Head to D.C. To Fight West Bank Fence
Ori NirJuly 18, 2003
WASHINGTON — A team of young Palestinian policy advisers is coming to Washington this week in an effort to sway political opinions about the security fence that Israel is building in the West Bank. The group's presentation on the subject has already influenced at least one member of the Bush administration: National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice.
In the Ramallah headquarters of the Palestinian Authority on June 28, Stephanie Koury, a legal adviser to the Palestine Liberation Organization, gave Rice and her staff a 10-minute computerized presentation expressing Palestinian concerns over the fence.
Hours later, Rice shocked and angered members of the Israeli Cabinet when she asked them to "reconsider" the fence. While Prime Minister Sharon presents the fence as necessary for security, Palestinians view it as a political border that encroaches on their land and imposes restrictions on their freedom of movement. Rice reportedly recounted the Palestinian arguments during her Israeli Cabinet meeting.
For the P.A., Rice's apparent embrace of its position was an important achievement. It also underscored the central role played by a relatively new group of young assistants to Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, a team of mostly American-educated legal and policy experts, each specializing in one of the issues of contention between Israel and the Palestinians.
This week, Koury is showing the same presentation that so impressed Rice to American administration officials, members of Congress and their staffers, think-tank experts and journalists in Washington.
Koury's presentation shows how the fence separates Palestinian villagers from their agricultural fields and greenhouses. It also tells the tale of Qalqilya — a West Bank town of 42,000 that borders Israel — where Palestinians contend that a network of barbed-wire fences and a high wall leave the town linked to the West Bank only by a narrow road, which is controlled by a permanent Israeli roadblock. As a result, the Palestinians assert, Qalqilya can no longer serve as a commercial center for more than 30 neighboring villages; according to Palestinian data, Qalqilya now suffers an 80% unemployment rate.
Koury, 35, a Texas-born American of Lebanese origin, is a specialist on Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Accompanying her in Washington is another legal adviser to the PLO: Michael Tarazi, 35, a Harvard Law School graduate and American citizen who abandoned an American corporate-law career to work for the PLO in Ramallah. Tarazi was recently described by The Wall Street Journal as "the most articulate and sophisticated Palestinian advocate to come along in years."
Koury and Tarazi are part of the 18-member Negotiation Support Unit of the PLO's Negotiations Affairs Department, which until recently was headed by Abu Mazen. The unit was created in 1999 with European financial assistance to support the Palestinian team negotiating with Israel's Barak government over so-called "permanent status" issues. Those negotiations collapsed in 2000, and members of the unit focused instead on public diplomacy, reaching out to campuses, churches, community centers and media in the U.S. and around the world.
That is how Americans met new Palestinian faces such as Tarazi, Koury and Diana Buttu, a 32-year-old Arab-Canadian who was born in Nazareth and still carries Israeli citizenship. Buttu, who like other unit staffers has frequently visited Washington since the American-led "road map" to Israeli-Palestinian peace was officially published last April, recently told the Forward she decided to join the PLO when she realized how poor a public-relations job it was doing. As an Israeli Arab, she said, she was particularly frustrated with what she viewed as Jewish Israelis' misperceptions of the Palestinian cause.
Israelis understandably view the separation fence as a way to impede suicide bombers, said Buttu — who recently helped draft language for speeches by Abu Mazen and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat condemning such attackers — but Palestinians see it as a "cage," an attempt to hem in entire communities. The fence may make Israelis more supportive of a territorial settlement, Buttu said, but if they look at it from the Palestinian side, they will notice that the convoluted contour of the fence, which zigs and zags inside the West Bank, is eroding Palestinian public support for the peace process.
The Palestinians are demanding that Israel stop building the fence and tear down the small strip of fence already erected in the northern part of the West Bank. If Israel insists on building a fence, they say, it should run on the Green Line, the pre-1967 border between Israel and the West Bank. Israel's position is that the fence is not a political border, that it is reversible, and that attempts will be made to build it with minimum suffering to the Palestinians. The United States, according to administration officials, will not ultimately demand that Israel cancel the fence project.
The Palestinians may win a reprieve from an unlikely source, however. This week, Sharon's Likud party, which opposes the fence, fearing that it will resurrect the Green Line, decided to halt all parliamentary funding for the project until the government convinces it of the fence's security necessity and cost effectiveness.

New Novel Inspirations – Carnival Horror
The new novel I'm working on, titled Carni, will be my first attempt at writing carnival horror, a sub-genre that includes killer clowns, freak shows, and tunnels of love leading straight to hell.
My story is set in South Jersey, specifically Burlington Island, 300 acres of wilderness wedged in between Jersey and PA on the Delaware River. The island has an interesting history that I'm using as a springboard for my creepy carnival story.
Burlington Island from the PA side
Called Matennecunk by the Lenape natives, the island became the location of New Jersey's first recorded murder when two Dutchmen were slain by Lenape braves in 1671. No, my story will not include an "old Indian burial ground" filled with vengeful ghosts. I think that cliché has been done to death by now. That's not to say I won't be using established genre tropes because I always do. Creepy clown anyone? But I will be attempting, in my own way, to give them a fresh merry-go-round spin.
Island Beach Amusement Park
What inspired my story, besides the island itself, was that it was once the location of an amusement park called Island Beach. Judging by the old photos, it was quite a popular attraction. A fire in the 1920s ended the fun, however, and the island changed hands and purposes. It is currently owned by the state of New Jersey and is used for mining sand and gravel, thus the man-made lagoon at the island's center. Clean-up efforts persist to this day, as do occasional exploration into the rusty relics of the island's past lives. I've never set a foot on its banks, but I hope to soon. I want to absorb its essence for my story. I'll probably absorb plenty of mosquito bites and Poison Ivy as well, but it's all in a day's work.
I begin my story with the fire at the carnival and who set it (all fictional).
My villain is the Island Beach mascot called Carni, a killer clown inspired by Coney Island's Steeplechase Jack—can't tell me that grin isn't creepy, and Alfundo, the Dorney Park mascot featured on this wonderful sign I remember from visiting Dorney as a kid. A fire in the mid-1980s destroyed most of Dorney's original small-town charm, but the park is still there.
Dorney Park's Alfundo
The Dorney Park fire
Creaky wooden rides erupting into sudden flames, roller coasters becoming derailed, creepy clowns with Glasgow grins, that persistent legend of the kid who lost his arm in the fun-house machinery—these are what adds those extra chills to the carnival thrills. As part of my story mapping, I'm not only recalling my own fond memories of being deliciously scared at carnivals and amusement parks, but I'm also revisiting some carnival-themed works like Dean Koontz's The Fun House and classic horror films like Freaks and Carnival of Souls. From the unsettling strains of the calliope to the rough-trade roustabout who just might mess with the gears on that ride, there is always danger lurking within, and just outside, the midway's colored lights. Isn't it fun!
My latest video, adding to the discussion.

Intuitive Writing and Why I'll Never Go Back to Plotting
The surrealists were on to something when they discovered automatic writing. By shedding the constraints of the rational mind, they were able to tap into the visions dwelling in the well of the unconscious and thereby discovering new truths to explore. Party games like Exquisite Corpse (lovely name) where artists collaborate blindly, perhaps with just their id's as their guides, show how creativity unleashed is always interesting and often amusing. The "quality" of the results may vary, but what's useful (for me anyway) about the intuitive approach is it feels like a direct line into the creative brain. This is exactly where I want to be when I'm writing fiction and especially poetry.
Spend any time trawling the internet for writing advice, and you'll encounter the inevitable plotter vs. pantser debate. Pantser—the name sounds unappetizing—refers to writing by the seat of one's pants as opposed to working from an outline. I used to be a great proponent of outlining until I just recently tried the intuitive approach on my last few projects. And the results were surprising.
Ain't gonna lie, I was scared at first. I was an explorer sailing my ship into uncharted territory. But soon I discovered hidden treasures along the way which caused me to release my grip and just allow the story to guide me. Trade winds of fresh ideas filled my sails and I was gliding along freely, not thinking, not planning, just going with the flow. It was lovely. And fun! And before I knew it, three hours of solid writing had zipped by and I didn't want to stop. Any writer who's ever forced themselves to push through a writing session knows the difference.
Okay, you might say, that sounds great, but what about the results? Sure, you were having fun, but exactly what kind of unreadable drivel did you produce? Would you be surprised to hear it was some of my best work? Reading it back was a surprising delight. Yes, I had to go back and reshape, but the ideas were there—good ones— and buried not too far beneath, the structure.
Artists like Picasso knew how to paint "realistically" before they became masters of modernism. In other words, the structure may have been abstracted, but it was there. Not comparing myself to Picasso here (ahem) but I've studied story structure extensively, including reading Robert McKee's Story several times and taking his seminar. In other words, I know it well enough to let my thinking side relax a bit, confident that my knowledge of story structure will be residing in my subconscious when the intuitive side takes over.
When embarking on a new writing journey, which side (intuitive or thinking) should be at the wheel and which below deck? After trying both, I don't think I'll ever go back to being a plotter.
Which type of writer are you? Have you ever attempted intuitive writing? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.

Inverse Flow - Forward Warping or Bilinear "Splatting"
I am interested in the inverse or backward flow given the forward flow. The following code does this forward warping or bilinear splatting, but it is annoyingly slow (~8ms @VGA on my i7-7820HK). It seems likely to me that this could/should be closer to 1-2ms. Any insights into speeding this up?
I now see that "frame interpolation" is a worthwhile search string. Estimating an intermediate frame given an optical flow, either just forward or forward and backward is very similar. Perhaps getting good results is non-trivial and somewhat costly.


Are You A Candidate for Dental Implants? 5 Ways to Know!
Dental implants can be placed in patients that are healthy, but did you know that implants still have excellent success even in patients with medical conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or osteoporosis?
Patients need to have enough bone for the implant to be stable. Some patients have lost bone over time since their teeth have been missing. We use 3-D x-rays and a comprehensive exam to determine whether you have enough bone for dental implants. Most people do!
Dental implant patients often wonder how long it will take to complete treatment and want to know how much time they will have to wait without a tooth. Dental implant treatment times have been greatly reduced. It used to take up to a year to complete treatment, but these days, it takes only a few months- or in some cases, only days!
How many teeth can we replace with implants? In most cases, we can replace any tooth patients have lost. If you have removable appliances now such as dentures or partial dentures, implants can be used to help stabilize your dentures or even to give you a brand new set of teeth that stays in all of the time!
Should patients be worried about pain from dental implant treatment? It sounds unlikely, but it is very rare to have pain associated with implants. Many implants can be placed with just regular local anesthesia (numbing), but if a patient is concerned about the procedure, sedation is available as well!
If you think you may be a candidate for dental implant treatment, call Rogers Family Dental today to schedule an appointment!
3D Dental Imaging Now Available in Greeneville!
Here at Rogers Family Dental, we are always looking to stay on the cutting edge of new dental technology. That is why we are excited to be able to report that we are the first office in our area to offer Cone Beam 3D CT Imaging!
What is Cone Beam CT (CBCT)? Most of us are familiar with CT (CAT) scans that are done at the hospital which are three-dimensional images that can show problems in our bodies. This same type of imaging is now available for the teeth and jaws without having to go to the hospital and with much, much less exposure to x-rays. The scan only takes seconds and is painless.
What is CBCT used for in dentistry? We can see and diagnose problems much more easily then before by being able to see things in 3D instead of only traditional two-dimensional images. This can be very useful in diagnosing more difficult dental problems that are not easily seen with regular x-rays such as chronic tooth pain, root canal problems, and oral cancer screening. Also, we use CBCT very routinely for dental implant planning. With implants, it is critical that we are able to see exactly where the implant needs to go to safely replace a tooth root.
Before, our patients had to travel great distances to be able to get a 3D scan, but now we are proud to offer this exciting technology to our patients right here in Greeneville!
Call us to become a new patient today!
TMJ problems are a common, sometimes painful issue that many people face. They are often misunderstood and even misdiagnosed, but fortunately, they can often be easily treated.
First, it is important to understand what the TMJ is. The TMJ or temporomandibular joint is the joint that allows the jaw to move. It is a very complicated joint which can both rotate or "hinge" and also move forward and back.
When people talk about "having TMJ", sometimes they truly have a problem with the joint itself. Often, however, the TMJ problems that patients have are actually related to jaw muscles rather than the jaw joint.
Muscle problems can be caused by several things such as clenching and grinding of teeth during the day or night, problems with the bite or the teeth not fitting together well. Internal joint problems can be caused by some of the same things as well as by injuries to the joint such as car accidents.
The first step a patient should take to treat a potential TMJ problem is to have a thorough dental exam that includes a joint evaluation. Our Greeneville dentists at Rogers Family Dental are trained in special techniques to evaluate and correctly diagnose TMJ problems.
Treatment of most TMJ problems involves special dental appliances that are made to prevent jaw muscles and joints from being overworked or overused. These appliances also can be used even if a patient's bite is imperfect.
If the problem is more complex, our dentists may recommend treatments such as physical therapy, medications, orthodontics, and for rare extreme cases, evaluation using three-dimensional imaging such as CT scans or MRI's and evaluation by surgical specialists.
One of the main values of a quality general dental office who treats TMJ problems is knowing what we can easily treat and what is a more complex problem requiring evaluation by specialists and advanced imaging. Our dentists are specially trained to make sure you get the best possible treatment.
At home, there are things you can do to prevent TMJ problems from getting worse. Strategies include avoiding repetitive movements of the jaw such as gum chewing and resting the jaw. Follow our dentists recommendations to make sure you are not doing things that might be making your jaw problem worse!
If you are experiencing TMJ problems, call us today to schedule a thorough examination and develop a plan to get your problem addressed!
Are all dentures created equal?
Here at Rogers Family Dental in Greeneville, TN, our dentists strive to always give patients a great value in the treatment they receive.
Just like you, we see lots of advertisements for "affordable" dentures. What does "affordable" mean? Are these places doing the same thing that our dentists do at a lower price? The quick answer is a big NO! We'd like to tell you just a few of the differences between customized dentures and discount dentures.
1) Quality dentures take TIME. Our dentists need multiple visits to create a totally customized, well-fitting dental prosthesis. No dentist is EVER taught in school that a denture can be done in a day. If a discount denture center tells a patient they can get their dentures "same-day", we can almost guarantee you the result will be poor. The reason for this is a lack of customization. Quality dentures must be tried in and things like the bite, fit, and looks of the teeth checked (and approved by the patient) before they are finalized. Cutting corners on these visits will always make the final result worse. It may take longer to get the dentures customized, but this time results in less adjustments, a better looking denture, and a happier patient!
2) Quality dentures aren't cheap to make. We use the very best materials from start to finish. We use expert dental lab technicians to help us make quality dentures. The best materials and a great technician is what makes the difference between a denture that looks natural versus one that looks fake. When dentures are made by a quality lab the difference is also significant in how dentures fit and how long they last. Our technicians never rush your denture, and we choose to spend more on the quality denture teeth we use in our dentures to make sure that patients look their best and that their dentures last longer. We have seen far too many "affordable" dentures broken after just a few months' use that we simply cannot accept using cheap materials. As the saying goes: with some things, you get what you pay for.
3) Quality dentures are backed up by quality service. When our Greeneville dentists make your dentures, we stand behind them. If there is any problem with the dentures including a need for adjustments or training for speech or eating, we spend that time with every patient. We do not charge extra for adjustments for up to one year after our dentures are delivered. Most discount denture centers charge for each and every adjustment, which quickly brings the price up. Many patients are forced to choose not to have adjustments to their discount dentures because of the price, and they must put up with horrible pain or just leave their dentures in a drawer and go without teeth. We feel this is a "bait and switch" tactic used by many of these discount denture centers that many patients are not aware of.
4) Any lower denture treatment discussion should include the option of at least two lower dental implants. Way back in 2002, a group of denture experts published a "consensus statement" on lower dentures (McGill Consensus). The agreement among all of these experts was that a lower denture with two dental implants is the "minimum standard of care" for treatment of the lower jaw. Not everyone will choose implants, but everyone deserves to have the option presented to them and they need to understand that without implants, lower dentures can be very difficult to wear. Implants to help support a lower denture are often the only way to make patients comfortable. We have found them to be life-changing! Many discount denture centers do not tell their patients about implants, or if they do offer implants, they offer "mini" implants which are NOT a good alternative to the real thing.
5) Denture treatment is not the end of the road. Dentures need regular maintenance such as relines from time to time. Here at Rogers Family Dental, when you invest in a set of customized dentures, we will be your continuing resource for any maintenance related to your dentures. We don't see you as just a number, but instead as part of our family. We will respond to your individual needs and treat you with respect and dignity throughout your time as our patient.
If you are in the Greeneville or East Tennessee region and are looking into dentures or just looking for a dentist, call and make an appointment with us today!
1) Veneers are beautiful. The high-tech porcelains that veneers are made of are designed to perfectly simulate natural enamel. With the expert guidance of our doctors and the artistic touch of an expert dental lab, your veneers will be totally customized to perfectly match your natural teeth.
2) Veneers are durable. Porcelain veneers are up to six times stronger than traditional bonded composite fillings, making them extremely durable. Veneers last roughly 2-3 times as long as fillings.
3) Veneers can close spaces between teeth. No more gaps!
4) Veneers can be used to give patients a fuller smile. Some of our patients have small teeth or do not shown enough tooth when they smile. Veneers are often a great way to change this without braces.
5) Veneers can be used to brighten and lighten teeth that cannot be easily whitened. Many teeth can be whitened, but for those few that are challenging to whiten, veneers can be used to change the color of the teeth in a natural way.
6) Veneers are much more conservative than other options. Many offices do not do many or any veneers, and opt only to do crowns. Since veneers only involve the front surface of the teeth, the back of the tooth is left completely untouched.
7) Veneers do not stain like bonded composite fillings. Most front-tooth fillings need to be replaced every 7-10 years due to staining. Because they are not porous and have such a smooth surface, veneers are not nearly as susceptible to staining.
8) Veneers are easy to clean. Because they are so thin, flossing and brushing is very easy to do.
9) Veneers can sometimes be done without having to remove any tooth structure ie "no-prep veneers". This is a big contrast with crowns, which require removing some good tooth.
10) Veneers can be completed quickly. From the time we start planning for veneers to the time they are completed, the process can take as little as a month!

Do you have children in need of a dentist? Here at Rogers Family Dental, a leading dental practice in Greeneville, Tennessee, we love treating kids of all ages, and we have a passion for making sure that your children have a great experience here at our office. We want to share 5 things that you may not know about pediatric dental care along with some strategies we use to give kids a great smile!
1) Tooth decay has become the number one most prevalent disease in children. Tooth decay is five times more common in children that asthma. Over 40% of all children by age 11 have had tooth decay. This is a depressing statistic. The good news is this: decay can be prevented! Our dental office in Greeneville, TN works very hard to educate parents and kids about prevention of tooth decay and to provide tools that can reduce your child's risk for cavities.
2) Children need to come to the dentist earlier than they have in the past. New recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry state that all children should be seen at a dental office before age 1. By this age, children have their first teeth and habits at home become incredibly important. At this first visit, we do not aim to clean the teeth as with older children. Our focus is first to do an examination to check for decay and to ensure that all teeth are present and in the right locations. Then, we spend time evaluating and discussing things like diet, nutrition, and daily oral hygiene procedures that can be used at home to reduce risk for decay. A simple paint-on fluoride treatment may be provided to reduce decay risk. This visit is more like a well-child visit with the pediatrician. We find that this early visit does a lot to prevent seeing patients at age three with a mouthful of cavities that can sometimes need much more involved work.
3) New techniques for prevention have been discovered. Fluoride is still our #1 tool in fighting tooth decay, but other new tools have shown promise in cavity prevention. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral in many water supplies that strengthens teeth, but some people that have well water or other non-fluoridated water may not be getting enough fluoride on their teeth. Fluoride supplements are sometimes needed for children in these cases. Besides fluoride, new research has shown promise for xylitol as a prevention for decay. Xylitol is a natural sweetener that is similar to sugar. Xylitol has been shown in some studies to reduce the numbers of cavity-causing bacteria and to prevent transmission of cavity causing bacteria from parents to children. Also, other promising preventives such as licorice root extract have been incorporated into candies that have been shown to reduce cavity risk. Our hygienists and dentists here at Rogers Family Dental can give you guidance as to which of these tools is right for your child.
4) The importance of having a great first experience at the dentist is more important than ever. If a child has a bad experience at an early age in the dental office, it can stick with them for a long time. Our office works very hard to make sure that each child leaves our office feeling comfortable, excited, and confident that they can come back again and do a great job. This is not an easy task, however, for some kids! We have a lot of tools that we use to make kids feel more comfortable. We use nitrous oxide (laughing gas) sedation to relax children (and adults!). We have television screens in each room that they can watch along with headphones they can wear to reduce anxiety with loud noises. We have handheld video game systems they can play while they wait. If cavities do need to be restored, we make sure that our child patients are very nice and numb (we call it putting the tooth to sleep) before we work. We make sure that we use a light touch and work quickly and efficiently to make visits quick so that kids don't have to wait. Parents are always welcome in the room to watch as we work.
5) We understand that the health of parents' mouths affects their child's risk for decay. We have come a long way over the years in learning what causes cavities. For years, we wondered why it is that we see some families that have children that seem to always get decay, some that get no decay at all, but yet in others still, one child gets cavities and the other gets none despite the same diet and habits? For years, there was a thought that decay risk was actually genetically inherited. We now know that this is not true (except in very rare hereditary diseases which involve enamel formation). The true reason for this variation has to do with the nature of tooth decay bacteria. Because tooth decay is a bacterial infection, we have learned through scientific research that it can be passed from person to person. Parents that have had a history of tooth decay (especially if they have untreated cavities in their mouths) can pass the cavity-causing bacteria to their children early in life. This can happen by doing things like sharing a spoon with a child before they eat with it. When a 1 year old child gets these bacteria at such a young age, cavity risk goes way up. This is one important reason that parents (especially of young children) need to have excellent dental health. If parents are cavity-free, there is a better chance their children will be too!
If you or your family need dental care, our doctors and staff here at Rogers Family Dental in Greeneville, TN can provide you with world-class dentistry with a hometown touch. We would love to see you and your children and provide you with a place to call your dental home. Call us to schedule an appointment today!

Energy efficiency schemes 'not morally defensible', say big six
Members of the big six energy firms have told MPs that green levies must be paid for through taxation to reduce their impact on the fuel poor
The government's energy efficiency schemes are "not even morally defensible" as long as they are paid for through energy bills, according to William Morris, managing director of SSE.
Morris made the comment on 29 October before a testy meeting of the House of Commons Energy and Climate Change Committee to discuss recent rises in energy bills.
"The [cost of] government environmental and social schemes... will increase significantly [soon]," he said. "We would like to see those costs off customer bills and into general taxation.

Welcome to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, University of Maryland Stop the Bleed campaign information page. We are excited to bring this world class, life-saving bleed control training to our employees and community!
Massive bleeding from any cause, but particularly in a situation where a medical response is delayed, can result in death. Similar to how the general public learns and performs CPR, it is important for the public to learn proper bleeding control techniques, including how to use their hands, dressings, and tourniquets. Victims can quickly die from uncontrolled bleeding -- within five to 10 minutes -- if the bleeding is not stopped.
The good news is that anyone at the scene can act as immediate responder and save lives if they know what to do. Stop the Bleed supports President Barack Obama's policy directive for national preparedness (Presidential Policy Directive 8), which targets preparedness as a shared responsibility of the government, the private and nonprofit sectors, and individual citizens.
Stop the Bleed is an initiative of the American College of Surgeons and the Hartford Consensus and contains diagrams, news, videos, and other resources contributed by a variety of other private and nonprofit partners to help prepare you in the event you can help save a life.
Our shared goal is to provide you with training and credible information on bleeding control. We hope you will never need to use this information, but if you do, at least you will have the assurance of knowing how to recognize and stop bleeding until medical help arrives.
We invite you to register for one of our training courses today. The University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center bleeding control training is performed by trained medical professionals from here at UMMC/STC and includes hands-on instruction and visual presentations.
To learn more about Stop the Bleed, visit www.bleedingcontrol.org.

Q: how can i open auto datepicker range departure sorry my question maybe is too esay but i am not understand javascript. i have a range datepicker. arrival-departure. i want to when i selected arrival auto open departure picker. here is my js code.
$('#arrival').datetimepicker({
                        useCurrent: false,
                        format: 'DD/MM/YYYY',
                        minDate: 'now'
                    });
        $('#departure').datetimepicker({
            useCurrent: false,
            format: 'DD/MM/YYYY',
            minDate: 'now'
        });
        $("#arrival").on("change.datetimepicker", function (e) {
            $('#departure').datetimepicker('minDate', e.date);
        });
        $("#departure").on("change.datetimepicker", function (e) {
            $('#arrival').datetimepicker('maxDate', e.date);
        });

A: You can use the onShow() callback with setOptions() to set the min and max dates on the datetimepicker on the fly.
A few other things I noticed:
e.date is undefined so I used the .val() of the date time picker for the dates.
Also your format was off you are doubling month names and days and quadrupling years. So I set it to format 04/May/2018 format in the below example.
I also set the max date on the arrival picker (to the departure time) if the departure is set, otherwise there is now max.

$('#arrival').datetimepicker({
  useCurrent: false,
  format: 'd/M/Y',
  onShow: function(ct) {
    this.setOptions({
      minDate: "now",
      maxDate: $('#departure').val() ? new Date($('#departure').val()) : false
    })
  }
});

$('#departure').datetimepicker({
  useCurrent: false,
  format: 'd/M/Y',
  onShow: function(ct) {
    this.setOptions({
      minDate: new Date($('#arrival').val())
    })
  }
});

$("#arrival").on("change.datetimepicker", function(e) {
  $('#departure').datetimepicker("show");
});

REPRODUCTIVE AMBIGUITY Erika Landström on Matthew Langan-Peck at Édouard Montassut, Paris
"Matthew Langan-Peck: Four Ways, l'amour gagne," Édouard Montassut, 2020, installation view
What real social change can political art effect, and can its efficacy even be measured? Artist Erika Landström poses these questions during a visit to Matthew Langan-Peck's show, "Four Ways, l'amour gagne" at Édouard Montassut, writing that the likely immeasurability of art's actual social impact leaves it open for exploitation. Landström explores this relationship through Langan-Peck's work and considers the dissonance between intentions and outcomes.
"Four Ways, l'amour gagne," on display at Édouard Montassut in Paris this fall, is Matthew Langan-Peck's second solo show at the gallery. Taken together with his first, almost exactly four years earlier, the exhibitions bookend Trump's term in office. On a crisp fall day, when the cold, translucent air seems to varnish the colors meeting the eye, I am greeted at the courtyard by a childlike figure with golden hair and a red-striped shirt. First appearing in Langan-Peck's 2016 show at the gallery – then as a soccer-playing son in a constellation of inflatable sculptures (The Child, The Mother, The Insurgent) – the figure has returned, now flattened into a sign. Four years older, and dressed up for the occasion in khaki shorts and loafers, he stands resolute at the gallery entrance, guarding a single line of text: "IN THIS HOUSE, WE BELIEVE." For those never exposed to this viral slogan, its language has been lifted by the artist from a political yard sign that first cropped up on a lawn in Wisconsin shortly after the US presidential election of 2016. Below "In This House We Believe:" the property owner, a white middle-class mother of two, had grouped a series of well-known statements in an act of solidarity, and as a list of personal commitments: "Black Lives Matter," "No Human is Illegal," "Women's Rights are Human Rights," "Science is Real," "Love is Love," and "Kindness is Everything." A few days later, a photo of the sign had been shared over 30,000 times on a Facebook page for Clinton supporters. Craftier renditions followed, and before long, a printed version known as the "Kindness is Everything" sign became an Amazon bestseller. The sign outside the gallery, however, is blank beyond "BELIEVE."
What does it mean to invoke this viral sign within an exhibition context? Pulled from disparate and sometimes antagonistic milieus, the statements on the sign – now erased – have been severed from their original contexts, bundled up and distributed in a manner similar to the dissemination of bullet-point politics on social media. Placatory phrases such as "Kindness is Everything" seem particularly offensive in their vagueness, which, not unlike sound bites during political campaigns, cater to everyone yet no one in particular. While the act of erasure probes the intentionality and accountability of those displaying the "Kindness is Everything" sign outside their homes, in placing a hijacked version of the sign outside the gallery, Langan-Peck seems to direct his disbelief toward "political art," and perhaps with reason. When socially engaged practices come to serve primarily as vehicles for individual visibility, "activism" appears suspiciously adaptive to market forces. Besides, how could we measure an artwork's social impact? Certainly not in terms of market value. Even if this immeasurability might offer an escape from the types of instrumentalization where habitually imbued social critique increases an artwork's market value or where social practices are appropriated and commodified, one could just as easily make the argument that it is precisely immeasurability, or "productive ambiguity," that is exploited when an artwork is designed for maximum visibility and circulation. In modelling the exhibition's prefacing work after the "Kindness is Everything" sign but leaving it blank and open for inscription by forces beyond its maker, Langan-Peck seems to suggest that it is precisely the convenient naivete of "political art" that prevents it from accomplishing actual social change. More often, artistic practices play a systemically reproductive role in maintaining the social status quo.
Can the spoken word be trusted over the written, I wonder as I notice a pair of headphones hanging from a mailbox mounted to the gallery's main door. From them, the voice of an anonymous entrepreneur intonates an account of his path to financial success in what imitates a 20-minute-long motivational podcast. Starting out as a Craigslist hustler, buying and selling used furniture out of his van, it was fatherhood, he interjects, that "really lit a fire under my ass." After he and his ex-partner are disqualified from adoption due to low income, he suddenly finds himself a single parent when he agrees to adopt the son of a friend who can't provide for his child. With an unexpected inheritance from his grandmother, he invests in a self-driving car and a number of "Okio 3s" – the first bots on two legs that can "learn from anyone" – and crosses over to the moving business. Here the audio piece starts to resemble a TED Talk from the near future, and our protagonist's emerging enterprise becomes increasingly dubious as the task of the bots has shifted from lifting couches to carrying out evictions. The voice of the narrator dampens a little when mentioning his adopted son, who has come to resent the small Long Island town where he was raised and the private schools where he felt "out of place." "As soon as the public DNA data was released in '39," the voice continues vaguely, "he found out some stuff, about his folks and my folks," and how the narrator's grandmother – "a real, proper, stiff Southern lady" – made her money.
From the fragmented yet indicative information provided by the narrator, often through casual asides such as, "every entrepreneur has something to fall back on," there is more to be gleaned from this time-based work than the debunked myth of the self-made man. The title of the audio piece, Red/Green Problem (2018–2020), presumably a reference to the hereditary condition of color blindness, serves to aid in shifting the listener's attention to the unspoken and the unseen. Intertwined in the account, if subtly, is a one-sided report on domestic transracial adoption from the perspective of the white adoptive father who raises his son with a "color-blind approach." Stemming from the Civil Rights era's ideas of equality and non-discrimination, and still widely practiced among transracial adoptive families in the US (of which the majority of the adoptive parents are white), this approach has been heavily criticized, often by the adoptees themselves. The main critique has been that color blindness represents white people's assertion that they are living in a society where racial privilege no longer exists, whereas their behavior supports racialized structures and practices, which ultimately expresses a racist interest in maintaining the racial status quo. The sociologist Eduardo Bonilla-Silva has suggested four frames of what he calls color-blind racism, and of which the "color-blind approach" is but one articulation: abstract liberalism, naturalization, cultural racism, and minimization of racism. Abstract liberalism constitutes the foundation of the four, and involves using ideas associated with political liberalism (such as "equal opportunity" over social policy) and economic liberalism (choice, individualism) in an abstract manner to account for racial inequality while simultaneously opposing policies that would directly address these inequalities. [1] In the audio piece, Langan-Peck localizes these frames within the home, the family unit, and in parental governance, which in turn mirrors the nation-state and federal governance. With the intervention of the yard sign, the childlike figure, and the mailbox mounted to the gallery door, the artist has transformed the gallery and its courtyard into the exterior of a North American home. Perceived through the framework of abstract liberalism, it would appear "reasonable" and even "moral" for its inhabitants to place a "Kindness is Everything" sign on their lawn while also opposing affirmative action, the defunding of the police, and the abolition of the prison industry.
To my surprise, the interior of this "home" has the stillness of a laboratory. In the medium-sized gallery, punctuated by spotlights and narrow pillars, I encounter four oversized eggs resting on the floor. Two of them are painted in colorful patterns drawn from a holiday craft blog, the others in the hues of chicken eggs – white and brown with "freckles." They seem to mimic beings in becoming, staging a cross-section of the timeline of biological procreation and cultural reproduction through the passing down of craft and tradition. As the only works on display in the gallery, they appear remarkably self-sufficient in their peculiar form of anthropomorphism, tracing the egg as a proverbial illustration of the human mind and its timeless dilemmas. Surely this illusion of interiority and idle movement, concealed from the eye and the camera, is precisely what makes these vitalist sculptures photogenic. Put more crudely, it is the subject-ness of these works that makes their performance as carriers for variable image material – and the signature of the artist – so successful. Does such a mode of production and distribution not resemble those criticized by the artist in the hijacking of the viral yard sign? If so, does this cumbersome contradiction, if somewhat comically staged, point to ambivalence or "productive ambiguity?" The sculptures on the floor seem to embody the first words in an incomplete and unspoken sentence – a pledge about to be made or broken.
Questions left unanswered charge the dimly lit exhibition with cinematic suspense – and a certain existential dread. I return to the audio piece at the main door for guidance. Nearing the end of the track, the narrator in Red/Green Problem discloses his current position as a sought-after consultant in the field of deep learning, hired for his exceptional talent in "disciplining" bots. He admits to having no advice when it comes to raising a child. "Don't let your kids get too smart. It will come back to bite you in the ass," he chuckles between coughs.

If you would like to make an advance reservation to camp in the Grand Canyon, we need at least three weeks' notice. If your planned hike is less than three weeks away, come in person to the Backcountry Information Center and request a walk-in permit. Availability of last minute permits is dependent on the season. The South Rim Backcountry Information Center is open year-round. The North Rim office is closed until mid-May.
Be prepared for winter hiking and expect icy trail conditions January, February, and March! Plan accordingly and prepare for winter conditions. Some trails are more difficult than others to navigate in the winter. Access to all dirt backcountry roads to remote trailheads on both canyon rims will range from difficult to impossible depending on recent snow or rain and daytime high temperature. Changing conditions make it impossible to generalize about the condition of specific roads or trails. Hikers considering traveling dirt roads to remote trailheads should contact the North Kaibab Ranger District of the Kaibab National Forest at 928-643-7395, the Tusayan Ranger District of the Kaibab National Forest on the South Rim at 928-635-4061, or the Backcountry Information Center for current conditions.
March: Bright Angel and Indian Garden Campgrounds are full the last three weeks.
April: Spring is a delightful time of year for overnight hiking, and consequently most corridor and threshold use areas are at capacity.
May: Corridor campgrounds are full. Hiking outside the Corridor becomes inherently more risky, especially later in the month as temperatures start to climb above 100°F (38°C) at the Colorado River.
June, July, and August: Hiking outside the Corridor is not recommended due to extreme heat.
WARNING FOR JUNE, JULY, AND AUGUST: Elevated hiking risk due to extreme summer heat. High temperatures at the bottom of the canyon in the shade range from 100°F to 115°F (35°C – 42°C). Low temperatures at the bottom of the canyon range from 70°F to 80°F (20°C – 25°C). Hikers entering the canyon in the middle of summer do so at their own risk. Keep hikes short and rest in the shade between the hours of 10 am and 4 pm. Better yet, start hikes early and plan on reaching your destination or exiting the canyon no later than 10 am. Flash flood and lightning risks remain elevated until the end of the monsoon season, usually in early September. Hike Smart! Visit www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/hike-smart.htm for more info.

The Council of Teips responded to Kadyrov's appeal to the Ingush people
Representatives of the Ingush Teips reacted to the head of Chechnya's call for the Ingush side to make official claims against him.
The elders have repeatedly expressed the Ingush people's position on the territorial dispute with the Chechen side and their vision of a just resolution. Nevertheless, in recent days there has been widespread discussion on the Internet of the Chechen leadership's appeal to the Ingush people to voice our grievances against the Chechen authorities once again, the Teip Council said.
The elders are convinced that this is yet another attempt to mislead the general public using the power of information technology.
"The Ingush people have no animosity toward Chechens. We are fraternal peoples who have lived in the neighborhood for many centuries, who share the same faith, language, and traditions. Throughout history, the Ingush have provided fraternal support and assistance to the Chechen people. And today there are tens of thousands of Chechens living and working in our republic, and we have no conflicts or quarrels with them.
All the claims of the Ingush people to the authorities of the two republics, which in 2018 signed an agreement on the border between us," they said.
The Teip Council stressed that the agreement to approve the borders between Ingushetia and Chechnya was signed secretly from the people, in blatant violation of the constitution and laws of Ingushetia, as well as centuries-old Vainakh customs and traditions.
"Yunus-Bek Yevkurov [the former head of Ingushetia and his henchmen, who participated in this lawlessness, have been dismissed, excommunicated from the Ingush people and are unruly in Ingush society. Moreover, the Teypov Council summoned all those involved on the part of Ingushetia in establishing the border to a Sharia court, which concluded that the actions of those who signed the 2018 Border Agreement on our part were in flagrant violation of the basic principles and norms of Islam and Sharia and infringed on the rights and interests of the Ingush people," the Council said in a statement.
Despite the fact that all sorts of legal and moral norms are being flagrantly violated with regard to the Ingush people, the Ingush people are unwavering in their determination to resolve this situation within the framework of existing law, Sharia law, and the traditions of our peoples, they added.
"That is why the World Congress of the Ingush people on October 30, 2018, established a nationwide commission to consider issues related to the definition of the territory and borders of Ingushetia. On July 7, 2021 the mentioned commission presented its report in which on the basis of historical, ethnographic, cartographic, archival materials, norms of Russian legislation and Shariah it is convincingly proved that the lands,
transferred to the Chechen Republic in 2018 are native Ingush, and the border established by this agreement is unjust and illegal," the elders said.
The commission's report was sent to the Chechen side on August 4, 2021, with a proposal to create a bilateral public commission to resolve the issue of the border between the two regions. On August 30, a commission of 30 members representing the Ingush people was approved, composed of well-known public and religious figures, historians, lawyers and other experts. However, the Ingush people have yet to receive any real response or intelligible answer to their proposal.
"Once again we hear from the Chechen authorities that they do not understand what the claims of the Ingush people are about, and we also see their attempt to take the dispute to the level of insults, threats, and blackmail. We consider these attempts dangerous and counterproductive, and we reiterate that any attempt to talk to us from the position of force looks foolish and is doomed to failure. We are fully aware of our responsibility for the future of our people, and we hope that the Chechen authorities take the same approach to this question. Under no circumstances should we allow our relations to deteriorate further," they said.
The Ingush Council of the Teips reaffirms its commitment to resolve the territorial conflict between the republics on the principles of good-neighborliness and respect for one another by carrying out conciliation procedures within the framework of the existing legislation. The Council is ready to work in this direction for as long as it takes.
The elders suggest that the Chechen authorities abandon their policy of threats and insults, transfer dialogue with the Ingush people from the Internet to a business and working format, and await proposals for the report and materials sent to them, as well as for the composition of the Chechen Republic Commission to discuss and fairly resolve the issue of the border between the two regions.
"We consider this to be the only acceptable way to resolve the territorial dispute and strengthen brotherly relations between us," they concluded.
Fortanga earlier reported that the head of Chechnya recorded a video address to the Ingush people. Ramzan Kadyrov said that he was waiting for official complaints to be made to him by the public in Ingushetia. The leader of Chechnya gave exactly three days for the official accusations to be brought against the Ingush side.
Ilez Barakhoyev, son of political prisoner Akhmed Barakhoyev, was the first to respond to Kadyrov's video appeal. He asked the head of Chechnya to recognize the words said to his father as "unnecessary. Ilez Barakhoyev, son of Ingush political prisoner Akhmed Barakhoyev, later said that the issue with the head of Chechnya was "very respectfully and beautifully" resolved after a telephone conversation.
Sarazhdin Sultygov, co-chairman of the public organization Mekh-Khel, also responded to Ramzan Kadyrov's demand for substantiated claims from the Ingush people. He made three main claims against the head of Chechnya. The first deals with the territorial issue, the second with unflattering comments made by high-ranking officials towards the Ingush people, and the third with abusive acts against refugees from Ingushetia who were registered as living in Grozny during the military campaign.

Discussion in 'Notion Ink Tablets' started by Skepsis, Oct 7, 2010.
Sun exposure sensor; to warn of being in the sun too long because you can.
Does anyone have more ideas of good sensors to put in a tablet?
going by the wish list folks have generated so far for Adam (in Rohan's blog etc), it may not be far fetched to think possibly it could 'read' human pulse?
The track pad on the back will take some getting use to bu thats a known.
I was looking at their site last night and thespecifications do not mention a Digital Compass, so I'm more worried that full use of 3d space will be denied the ADAM.
I have e-mailed them to confirm.
The light magniture is a good idea but do not cameras already do light level sensing?
They do not mention proximity sensor in the specs but do mention ambiant light.
I did think that they might put in 'face recognition' as the unknown sensor.
When are they going to release this already? Why only 200 tablets?
Well there is a digital compass according to the site, so phew.
As for that unknown sensor..
Those tantalizing descriptions made me think that the camera might also work in infrared, as a camera. Interesting if it is. Can you imagine setting up the camera in a car in foggy weather and glancing at that screen to see ahead. If the camera/ tablet is fast enough then it should be feasible, and of cause wandering around at night.
Hows this for a laugh.
PixelQ has a wireless display technology that allows to use the panel as a second display to a computer. Can it be ?

Carters Cove Marina, a family owned marina, is located on land that was a portion of a Land Grant by King Charles II of England in 1642. The Supreme Court of Virginia, in a recent ruling, noting ownership, including the submerged lands, to "those having been conveyed to each successive owner since that time", of which we are proudly one.
Carters Cove was the center of commerce and transportation for Robert "King" Carter, once the richest and most powerful man in Colonial Virginia. He had Carters Cove dredged and maintained at a depth of 9 ft. so he could tow barges loaded with bricks from the Cove to help build his signature work, Historic Christ Church. The 9 ft. depth is still a prime advantage of Carter's Cove Marina, offering easy navigation and dockage for sailboats and large powerboats.
The Abbott family, owners of Carters Cove Marina continue the family business, Abbott Brothers Seafood, keeping the facility much like its been since the 1920's. The oyster house was used for shucking and packing oysters in the winter months and to shed soft shell crabs in the summer months. In 1996, Gerald began seeking permission to construct a marina on the property; ten years later, it became a reality.
Carters Cove Marina offers the best features available in marina facilities: wide docks, full-length, wide stable finger piers, easy access, modern pump-out, climate controlled restrooms, showers and laundry. Substantial vehicle parking, and other amenities for its guests.
The Abbott family invites you to visit this beautiful and historic spot.
