Tolko reaches agreement with union on Creekside mill closure
Following an extensive operational review Tolko Industries Ltd. announces the Creekside mill will remain closed.
Nov. 16, 2012 11:00 a.m.
Following an extensive operational review of mills in the Williams Lake area, Tolko Industries Ltd. announced today, Nov. 16 that it does not foresee a reasonable opportunity to reopen its Creekside mill.
Operations at the Lakeview and Soda Creek mills will not be affected, the release says.
"The decision not to reopen the mill was not an easy one to make," said Mike Harkies, Vice President of Solid Wood. "When we curtailed operations at the mill indefinitely in 2009, we had expected that lumber markets would rebound within a year or two.
However, US housing starts are still less than half of what they were before the recession and, while demand from China has helped to keep our other mills open and US housing starts are slowly improving, lumber demand has still not recovered to a point that will enable all mills to operate viably."
"These factors, combined with increasing wood costs and deteriorating quality of timber as a result of the Mountain Pine Beetle epidemic, has led us to conclude that reopening the Creekside mill is not viable," said Harkies.
Following constructive negotiations, Tolko and the United Steelworkers Local 1-425 have reached a tentative agreement around issues raised by the announcement, including payment of severance to affected employees.
With the Creekside decision finalized, Tolko Industries Ltd. will now turn its focus to making the Lakeview and Soda Creek mills commercially competitive over the long run.
Tolko Industries Ltd. is a private, Canadian-owned forest products company based in Vernon, British Columbia with approximately 3,000 employees. Tolko is a major producer and marketer of lumber, veneer, plywood, oriented strand board, and kraft papers, with manufacturing operations across Western Canada. The Company's Woodlands operations have received third-party certification of their sustainable forest management systems.

Here, we're just going to say it. Bath towels, they're more than just a functional get-you-dry-quickly-after-a-shower "thing" in your house. They also make a statement about, not only your bathroom, but your entire home.
Our interior design friends are using them to dress their interiors, our children are using them to make cubbies and our mums use as a shawl to cover their shoulders on those chillier evenings.
'Rugs as wall art' is a big trend for 2018 so why not bath towels as throws? It's time to see your bath towels in a different light and use them as functional statement pieces across your home this winter.
Turkey is known for producing some of the highest quality cotton products in the world. Our Hammamas bath towels are as absorbent as traditional bath towels but take up less room and dry quickly. And here's the science behind it all: Turkish bath towels are made from premium cotton, using extra long fibres (or threads) which are dense. Using longer cotton fibre also means fewer joins, which reslts in stronger and smoother cotton threads.
If you've tried one of our Hammamas Classic thicker towels you'll understand why they are ideal for the bathroom As you'd expect, they're still 100% cotton and have fast drying elements. You can buy them in our Classic, Chevron and Aztec ranges.
You don't have to have been to Turkey to appreciate a good quality Turkish bath towel. Nor does design inspiration only have to come from a single place. Maybe you want to recreate that feeling you had in a luxury hotel or soothing spa and transform your 'real-life, everyday bathroom' into an experience every time you walk in without an enormous price tag.
We know we wowed you with the science but bath towels are so much more than just functional as they also make a statement about your bathroom. Your favourite celeb's latest outfit, wallpaper design or oldest (but most adored) winter knit might be the thing you base your bathroom design off.
You don't have to be tired of your bathroom in order to jazz it up a little. And there are loads of ways you can create a new look easily. A towel rail is the natural home to hang your luxurious bath towels. If there is a lot of extra bench space, you can also try placing a neatly folded pile of two to three matching towels on the vanity or side of the bath for extra luxury. Or put them inside mesh gold baskets, wicker boxes, hanging lazily off a hook or peeking out of your drawers for that more relaxed look.
Any bathroom can be instantly transformed by adding beautiful, clean, soft, cotton towels. Keep a range of different styles, colours and patterns to refresh your bathrooms at a moments notice to impress your friends or lift your mood.
If you read our colour blog, you'll know that colour blocking is, well, kind of a big deal at the moment. Add a touch of fun to your bathroom by including a splash (or dollop!) of bold colour with funky, brightly coloured Hammamas Original towels.
But let's face it, there really are no rules so why not buy your bathroom towels in multiple colours and mix it up with ice-cream pastels, indigo blues and super zingy colour pops which are all on trend for 2018.
If a single colour is more your thing then use patterns which can add depth and are an effective way to bring together an interior scheme. Patterns work because the repetitiveness of them creates an energy in the room through a sense of movement.
Our Hammamas bathroom towels are super versatile when it comes to your body. Use them in the bathroom, at the beach as a sarong or even a scarf. But you can also use them around the home in the lounge room and bedrooms too, on the deck or balcony or cover your legs whilst relaxing on your deck. Luxe Hammamas make great bed throws and our hand woven tassels will match the current trend for fringing, tufting, tassels.
By switching your towel collection around you can create a new feeling in the space and constantly evolve the look and feel of your home.
Add your own unique touch with different shapes: in our very own circa, hip and jumbo. There's a style for everyone. Colour block to match the season for maximum effect with touches of gold or a pop of indigo to add some luxury into the scheme.
And in case you didn't know, we hold the largest range of Turkish cotton travel towels so there's plenty to choose from!
Surf, sand, sun… and more than just a little Back Beach breeze!
For those of you who have wrapped-up, dried-off or laid-down with one of our Hammamas, you'll know that our showreel is usually created from photographs taken around Turkey – where we source and make all of our products using 100% cotton, traditional methods and local weavers (the tassels are even hand woven!).
Since Hammamas HQ is located in Melbourne we decided to head out along the Mornington Peninsula for an intimate shoot and started the day in the surf at Portsea Back beach. Ella Williams, Pro Surfer and currently ranked 29th in the World Surf League (WSL) Open Women's Qualifying Series, is already a firm favourite of our Hammamas Clash range after riding the waves; and the guys quickly dried off with their Original Navy and Aqua Jumbo after their early morning session in the waves.
This is about as serious as the day got. Take a look at these unofficial shots of our models messing around with our photographer and each other by the beach.
Embodying the Hammamas philosophy to love life, no sooner had the guys dried off, they decided to embrace their inner child and started jumping off Portsea Pier… towels included, testing out just how quickly they really do dry (it's ok, we had lots of spares for the shoot!) and turning heads with a few locals who wanted photographs with our celebs!
The boys proved useful in front of – and behind – the camera as turned to Production Assistant and Lighting Technician, holding the reflector in position whilst we got some shots of the beautiful Lea; and then carrying all the bags and equipment as we headed over to Back Beach for a change of scenery…and weather!
This is where things got really interesting as we were open to the unpredictable elements of the Bass Strait and a 40km/h wind which broke off part of our cars bumper bar and nearly set the surfboard into full flight through the air as Ryan held onto his prized board sitting in the boot of the car!
Don't let this put you off spending some time along the coast with your bathers and beach towels though! We've done some maths for you and after a bit of Googling and head scratching, a calculator and one spreadsheet, we've worked out that there are four more weekends before the clocks change, plus six public holidays across Australia before the end of the month and 267 hours of daylight before the end of March. That's more than enough time to grab your favourite beach towel, gather some friends together and stock up the Eski for your Vitamin D fix.
And in return, we promise to keep loving what we do here at Hammamas – sourcing and offering one of the largest ranges of 100% Turkish cotton towels in Australia and dispatching each order within 24 hours.
Got any exciting plans for the weekend ahead? Well, even if you haven't we've got a brand new look for you featuring some essential weekend basics. When the weekend finally arrives there's nothing more satisfying than slipping on some semi-fitted casual pieces for a completely chilled out lazy Saturday or Sunday in the sunshine. Let's face it, the weekend is the best time to relax so we're reaching out for those summer staples such as a chic breton striped tee and some high-waisted shorts, teamed with timeless accessories which will see you right through summer in style.
For this look, we've purposely added a contrasting striped Hammamas towel in Classic Sand which you can find here, alongside some Ray-Ban sunglasses and a Maison Michel sun hat to keep you looking cool even if you're starting to feel the heat! With this outfit, we'd layer up the Hammamas towel as a scarf which will become the perfect multi-purpose accessory if you're heading to the beach or the local park.
What are your go-to weekend basics? Let us know in the comment section below.

Press room > Current page:: Clampdown on terrorism -new counter-terrorism law backed by civil liberties MEPs
Clampdown on terrorism - new counter-terrorism law backed by civil liberties MEPs
LIBE
Foreign fighters as well as "lone wolves" training and preparing terrorist attacks on European soil will be criminalised under new EU-rules to fight terrorism backed on Monday.
Civil Liberties Committee MEPs voted by 37 to 4, with 7 abstentions, to back an informal deal on the draft law, struck by Parliament, the Council and Commission on 17 November. For a preparatory act to be criminalised, it must have been carried out intentionally or knowingly, the text says. Parliament's negotiators inserted a clause stressing that fundamental rights and freedoms must be respected. The deal still needs to be endorsed by Parliament as a whole and EU ministers.
Parliament's lead MEP Monika Hohlmeier (EPP, DE) said "There is no freedom without security. Travelling abroad for terrorist purposes, training or being trained for them, inciting terrorism or financing terrorist activities will be made a crime in all EU member states. This is a very comprehensive framework which implements UN and Financial Action Task Force Directives in the fight against terror."
The following acts, among others, are to be made criminal offences throughout the EU:
travelling abroad to join a terrorist group or for training for terrorism, such as foreign fighters travelling to Syria or other conflict zones, or returning to the EU if that the person might constitute a threat,
recruitment for terrorism,
providing or receiving training for making explosives or weapons or noxious or hazardous substances. This provision would also apply to "lone wolves" studying to carry out an attack on their own,
public incitement to commit terrorism or advocating terrorism, either directly or indirectly through the glorification of such acts, that intentionally caused danger of new offences. (Member states would be required to ensure the prompt removal of online content that constitute public provocation to commit terrorism or, if not possible, block such content while ensuring judicial redress and compliance with the Charter of Fundamental Rights), and
providing funds to commit or contribute to terrorism (member states would also be required to take measures to freeze or seize such funds).
Stepping up information sharing among member states
Parliament's negotiators ensured that, for the first time, member states will be obliged to exchange relevant information in relation to criminal proceedings on terrorist offences as soon as possible if the information could be used to prevent future attacks or assist other ongoing investigations or proceedings.
Helping victims of terrorism
Member states would have to put in place emergency response systems in the event of an attack to ensure immediate help is given to victims and their families, for example through national websites and emergency support centres.
Help should include medical treatment, emotional and psychological support, as well as counselling on legal or financial matters, including compensation claims. Victims caught in a terrorist attack while visiting another EU country should get help to return home.
The agreement is expected to be voted in Plenary in February 2017. Member states will have 18 months to ensure that its provisions can be applied.
The UK and Ireland will not be bound by the directive, but may notify the EU Commission of their intention to opt-in, if they so wish. Denmark will not be covered by the directive.
Further attacks in the EU are likely to be attempted, both by lone actors and groups, a recent report from Europol's European Counter Terrorism Centre says. It predicts that if ISIS is defeated or severely weakened in Syria/Iraq, the numbers of foreign fighters returning to Europe will rise.

Forgotten Voices > Subject: sebokeng
Sebokeng
The community of Sebokeng is located in the mid-Vaal area (south of Johannesburg) of Gauteng province. Sebokeng is one of the oldest urban 'townships' in the area and was established under the apartheid regime as a home for workers servicing the large industrial plants in the area such as SASOL, ISCOR and later, SAMANCOR. In the early-mid 1980's Sebokeng was at the heart of what came to be known as the 'Vaal Uprising,' when residents rose up against the unjust and inequitable urbanization policies of the apartheid regime and began the Asinamali Campaign of boycotting payments of rates and services. Today, several hundred thousand people inhabit this large community. While some still work in the surrounding heavy industries and further away in the manufacturing and service industries in and around Johannesburg, many others living in the community have been retrenched (laid off) over the past several years as a result of industrial 'restructuring,' privatization and/or corporatization of former state-run industrial enterprises. Correspondingly, there has been a huge increase in the levels of general unemployment as well as those active in the local 'informal' economy. Basic service provision and housing is arguably better than in most smaller non-urban communities but remains highly uneven. This far-flung and populous community falls under the Lekoa-Vaal municipality and while the African National Congress (ANC) is the dominant political force in the area, there is also a long history of presence/activity by the Pan-Africanist Congress (PAC) as well as independent community organizations.

Processing: barcodes, spine labels, book covering materials.
Promotions: display materials, Book Week merchandise.
Reports from the library management system can identify aged or deleted items that may need replacing.
Lost items: Depending on school policy, students may be charged for damaged or lost items. This may be done through the Library Management System (eg Symphony) or through the school office. Arrange with the School Business Manager/Executive Officer to deposit any payments for lost or damaged resources into the library budget to enable you to replace the material.
Fairs: Book fairs are a useful source of new books. They offer a limited range so they should enhance, not replace, a library budget and set priorities.
Talk to the School Business Manager and plan how to order materials and manage invoices.
You may need a credit card or order book.
Keep a record of your spending and encumbered funds. You will quickly see how much money is committed against set priorities.
Liaise regularly with the School Business Manager and tally your accounts with theirs.
Spend most of your budget by October to ensure that orders and payments are finalised by the end of the school year.
Outline your expenditure in the annual library report. Explain how it has improved services and collections, and supports the curriculum and student achievement.


team small dog: Common ground, between the team and the border collie.
Common ground, between the team and the border collie.
Gustavo has decided that Banksy isn't so bad. Sometimes. They made friends when I started bringing him in the roundpen with her, the way you start colts together as buddies. We all do some circle work. Then she does the circle work while Gustavo looks for escape routes out to get the cats. Then Banksy tugs and Gustavo runs around not in a circle and then everybody does some stays. The cats watch us through the panels. Those darn cats. Then I yell BREAK and we all are running again.
We could play this game for a very long time. It's a pretty good game.
Later we go back in the dog pen, where it's cool and shady, and Gustavo and Banksy roll around in the grass. They are the same size, for like 2 more days. They found some hobbies they both like, some common ground. Otterpop follows us everywhere around the ranch, but she would prefer not to play with Banksy. That's not really her thing. They share a love of fetching things, but I am waiting a while until I am sure that Banksy will only go for her own ball before we try group fetching. Otterpop is not a good sharer.
We all take walks in the pasture every day to teach Banksy how to walk good on a leash, today we went to see the new cows that moved in next door. For cows, they're little. To little dogs, they're pretty big. And they like to stare. Cows sure are starers. Only Banksy was cool with the cows. She didn't know that they didn't used to be there, so what's the problem?

How to make a backup of access 2003 database using a command button?
I need the procedure and/or code to add a command button to the Main Switchboard form, so the user click it and creates a full backup of the database in other folder, where the database name will have the date added to it.
I have tried different things, with no success... getting depress now!
if I press tools, database utilities, and backup database I'll get what I want, ... well I need to do the same, but using a command button.
The following code will Backup all Database Objects to a Folder specified by the Constant conPATH_TO_BKUPS (Line #3). You can change this if you wish, but be sure to add the Trailing Backslash since I did not test for this for the sake of brevity. The actual Back Up Database will be the Base Name of the Current Database minus the .mdb Extension, plus an Underscore (_), plus the Date formatted as mmddyyyy, plus .mdb. Each Backup will be unique only as far as a single Day is concerned and will DELETE a previous Backup for that Day should it exist. I intentionally placed the code in a Public Function where it can easily and directly be called from a Main Switchboard Item. Have fun, and if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Const conPATH_TO_BKUPS As String = "C:\DB Backups\"
strDBName = strDBName & "_" & Format$(Date, "mmddyyyy") & ".mdb"
P.S. - Just realized that you are using Access 2007. In that case, change the File Extension in Code Lines 12 (Comment), 13, and 16 to .accdb.
You may run into problems attempting to Backup the Current Database, so your best option may be to create a New Database with the Date appended to the Name, then export selectrive Objects to it.
Hi ADezzi, you are right, I already ran into problems, but I found few webpages where people have said they found the way... using APIs, modules, functions and macros... but was not published the steps and the final coding... I tried for many hours all the "intermediate" processes posted without lack. What makes me holding faith is "tools, database utilities, and backup database" do the magic, if the Access 2003 has those 3 clicks, should be some way to replicate the same.
Following your line of thoughts, do you have the code behind the button to export/import all the objects from a database?
The code would be considerable, but when I get a chance I'll post a Template that you can work from.
The code you posted works splendid!!!!
You are quite welcome, Juan.
This backup works very well. I adapted it to remove the date feature. How would one restore the same file it created from ie an external drive and replace the existing file?
Const conPATH_TO_BKUPS As String = "e:\"
strDBName = strDBName & ".accdb"
Make a Backup Copy of your Data and other Objects.
DELETE Slective Objects from the Current Database.
Import Selective Objects from the External Database to replace those Deleted from the Current Database.
Should any part of this process fail, aside from the Backup, you will still have the Backup to return to.


If you were invited to join an existing Tracker project, clicking the link in your invitation email will take you to the project.
If you signed up for Tracker yourself, once you've clicked the link in your confirmation email and activated your Tracker login by setting your password, you'll land on your Tracker Dashboard.
Whether or not you're already invited to any projects, you can create a project by clicking Create project located at the top right of the Dashboard. You can also click the Pivotal Tracker logo in the top left and select Create Project from the drop-down menu.
Account: If you joined a Tracker project via an invitation, you'll see one or more projects on your dashboard when you first sign in, but you may not yet have an account where you can create projects. If you need to create projects in your company's account, ask the account owner (shown in the Account drop-down) or an account admin for that Tracker account to give you project creator permission. If you are already a project creator or admin for a Tracker account, you can choose that account from the list. You can add your own new account by clicking on the Account menu, (however, even if you give it the same name as your company account, it is totally separate to it).
Project privacy: Choose Private to restrict access to your project to people that are invited to it. Choose Public if you want to make the project publicly visible, which will allow anyone read-only access to it, whether or not they are signed into Tracker. For example, if you're working on an open-source project, you can make it publicly visible). Only invited members can make changes to public projects. Public projects don't count against the account's plan limits. You can always change a public project to be private later, under Project Settings.
The Account owner and any account admins can see private projects in their account that they aren't invited to, but they can only access them in read-only mode unless they invite themselves as a project owner or member.
After you've chosen your options, click Create. If this the first time you have created or visited a Tracker project, you'll have the option to view a short video and click through a brief feature tour, which we highly recommend.
After creating a new project, you'll see a project view like the one below. By default, it has two panels open: Current/Backlog, and Icebox. You can split Current (the iteration currently in progress) from the rest of the Backlog by clicking the Panel actions menu at the top of the Current/Backlog panel, and selecting Split current & backlog.
The Backlog shows your future iterations. In a new project, dropping stories into the combined Current/Backlog or into the split Backlog panel puts them straight into the Current iteration, since it doesn't yet contain stories with point estimations.
Click the MORE tab in the top nav to edit Project Settings (if you're a project owner), such as estimation point scale and iteration length. (If you're not a project owner, you can only view the project settings.) The same menu will also allow you to document the project's details/specs within the Project Profile, view the list of project members, run reports for that project, configure external integrations, and import or export a CSV file of project stories and epics.
Be sure to take the Feature Tour when you first create a project in Tracker. If you skipped it earlier, or just need another look, you can access it from the Help drop-down menu.
You can see your project's average velocity at the top left of the sidebar, as well as in the Current panel header (velocity in the project shown above is 10). The Density button lets you change the amount and type of information in the story previews displayed in your Tracker window. You can click Auto at the bottom left of the sidebar to switch to Fixed mode, where you set the panel width. If you want more room for panels, click the sidebar toggle at the top left, to collapse it. When the sidebar is collapsed, mousing over the control auto-expands the sidebar until you mouse away. Or, click the control again to toggle the expanded sidebar back on.
The Panel actions menu at the top right of each panel contains additional actions that are relevant to that panel type. For example, you can select all stories in the panel for further actions, or clone the panel. To begin adding stories, click the + button in the header of the appropriate destination panel for the story. See more on Tracker's panels below.
Let's walk through an example project to introduce other elements of the project stories view.
Notice the My Work panel. It displays stories assigned to you that have not yet been started, the started stories that you own, and all stories in delivered state (i.e., ready for to be accepted or rejected) for which you are the requester.
Also, the user here has combined the Current and Backlog panels into one using the Panel actions menu at the top right of the panel. The top of the Current/Backlog panel shows the project's average velocity of 8 points. The grey iteration marker for the current iteration shows that it's iteration number 3, the start date of the iteration is March 28, the sum of story points in the iteration is 7, and 2 points are already completed.
The next story in the Backlog is a 3-point story. That won't fit in the current iteration because then the velocity would exceed the average of 8 points. That's why there's another iteration marker—iteration number 4—starting April 4. Interestingly, it has a point total of 9, because there are only 7 points in the current iteration. Tracker assumes that your velocity will average out to 8, and plans your future iterations accordingly. Read more about Tracker's automatic backlog planning in Understanding velocity.
Stories that are not yet prioritized live in the Icebox panel. Don't let your Icebox become a graveyard of forgotten stories; keep it relevant using the tips in Icebox management.
In the sidebar, you can see more panels and add to your project layout.
The Done panel displays iterations that have been completed, with all the stories accepted in each one, ordered by the accepted at date.
Epics represent the big-picture themes and large features that are made up of multiple feature stories.
The Labels panel displays a clickable list of all labels in the project. Labels can help group related stories, make dependencies among stories more visible, and help you find stories quickly. Mouse over each label in the list to see options. Anywhere you see a label displayed, you can click on it to bring up all the stories associated with it.
The Blockers panel displays all stories that contain one or more blockers.
Project History lists all the changes made to the project and its stories.
Open up these panels in your own project to get more familiar with what you can display in your Tracker window. The default panel order puts Done on the left and the Icebox on the right, followed by My Work and other panels, but you can drag them into any order you prefer.
You're ready to start adding stories to your project. If you want to migrate stories over from another tool, there are several ways to do that.
When you have no (or few) stories in a new project, and you create a story in the Backlog panel, or drag one to the Backlog from the Icebox, it will move to the Current panel automatically. This is because it should be possible to complete it in the current iteration based on the project's velocity. For example, if your velocity is the default initial velocity of 10, Tracker will move 10 points' worth of stories to the current iteration. Even if they are separated, think of the Current panel as a view of the top of the Backlog. Stories should be organized so that the most important are at the top of the Current panel, and flow back down through your Backlog in priority order.
Only project owners can change Project Settings. If you are a project owner, click the MORE tab in the top nav of your project view. Or, you can click the Settings cog wheel on the Dashboard for the project you want to change. Project members can only view project settings. See the list of Project Settings for more information.

Doctors Who Deny IVF Are Not Choosing Life
Elizabeth Gettelman
Doctors refusing to perform abortions. Standard. (The procedure isn't even taught in medical schools.) Doctors refusing to provide fetal tissue for stem cells, pharmacists refusing to fill prescriptions. All of these things happen based on peoples' belief that providing such services threatens unborn life. And as much as I don't agree with these decisions, I get it (sort of). If these people feel, really feel, that lives are threatened by their action, then following through is a difficult choice.
But how about when doctors refuse to perform, not abortions, not stem-cell procedures, but in vitro fertilization, which actually helps create life? The California Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case in which two doctors refused a woman IVF treatment because she's a lesbian. Which means that they felt that Guadalupe Benitez and her partner (whom Elizabeth Weil wrote about for Mother Jones last year) did not have the right to the life they hold so dear.
The case, which began in 2001 with Benitez claiming that the doctors violated California's anti-discrimination laws, is seen as one of the most controversial the Court has heard in years. The doctors were not refusing a service—they routinely performed IVF on other patients—but instead cited religious beliefs in this specific instance. The court could find that doctors will have to take an "all-or-nothing" approach, which would mean loss of lucrative IVF business if such doctors stick to their religious standards.
The doctors' defense all along has been that they didn't perform the procedure because Benitez is unmarried. (Benitez has said, under oath, that the doctors told her it was because of her sexual orientation.) Okay, so let's give them their defense for a sec. Do they then support gay marriage so that newborn life can be cherished? And how come they have religious objection to IVF for unmarried women, but are fine with assisting in the production of up to a dozen excess embryos per woman they treat? These embryos now number half a million nationwide; they're sitting frozen in storage and are most likely destined to be destroyed.
The Choose Life argument doesn't wash when the same moral high ground is used to deny it.

SBA To Aid New York Small Businesses Affected By Coronavirus
Anton Media Staff
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is offering low-interest federal disaster loans for working capital to New York small businesses suffering substantial economic injury as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
SBA Administrator Jovita Carranza said that the SBA acted under its own authority, as provided by the Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act that was recently signed by President Donald Trump. The president declared a disaster following a request received from Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on March 17.
The disaster declaration makes SBA assistance available in the entire state of New York and the contiguous counties of surrounding states.
"SBA is strongly committed to providing the most effective and customer-focused response possible to assist New York small businesses with federal disaster loans. We will be swift in our efforts to help these small businesses recover from the financial impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19)," Carranza said.
SBA customer service representatives will be available to answer questions about SBA's Economic Injury Disaster Loan program and explain the application process.
"Small businesses, private nonprofit organizations of any size, small agricultural cooperatives and small aquaculture enterprises that have been financially impacted as a direct result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) since Jan. 31, 2020, may qualify for Economic Injury Disaster Loans of up to $2 million to help meet financial obligations and operating expenses which could have been met had the disaster not occurred," Carranza said. "These loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable and other bills that can't be paid because of the disaster's impact. Disaster loans can provide vital economic assistance to small businesses to help overcome the temporary loss of revenue they are experiencing."
Eligibility for the loans is based on the financial impact of the coronavirus (COVID19). The interest rate is 3.75 percent for small businesses. The interest rate for private nonprofit organizations is 2.75 percent. SBA offers loans with long-term repayments in order to keep payments affordable, up to a maximum of 30 years and are available to entities without the financial ability to offset the adverse impact without hardship.

Title: Wilder Love
Author: Emery Rose
Genre: Contemporary Romance Standalone
"One of my all times favourite reads. A 10 star heartfelt masterpiece." - Diane, TDC Book Reviews
"5 stars! Wow, what a read! Gritty, emotional, dramatic, beautiful, sexy and romantic with just the right amount of angst, a forbidden YA/NA romance and an absolutely gorgeous second-chance love story, this book had me feeling all the feels, and I freaking loved it!" - AJ, The Escapist Book Blog
"One of the best reads of 2019 so far! If you try only one new author this month, let it be this one! I promise you, Wilder Love will not disappoint." - Ali, Fallen For Books
"There was a LOT of angst, a lot of push and pull, a lot of me wanting to beat my head against a wall and yell, and definitely some tears. Shane and Remy definitely had a difficult road to travel, but everything they survived so that they could LIVE was so worth the pain and struggle." - Jenn, Goodreads Reviewer
"One of my Top Reads of the year & In my opinion Emery's best book to date." - Trish, Unbound Book Reviews
I was infatuated with Shane Wilder since the first time I saw him surfing. But we couldn't be together. Not yet, anyway. I was too young and screwed up. He was too focused on chasing his dream.
So we became friends. We met on the rooftop for late-night confessions under the stars. Cruised along the Pacific Coast Highway with the wind in our hair and the sun on our faces.
I took photos of all the beautiful and ugly and interesting things, while he traveled the world in search of the perfect waves.
I told him I would wait for him.
I never meant to lie.
I never meant to ruin his life.
I. Destroyed. Him.
As his star faded, mine burned bright. But as everyone knows, all that glitters is not gold.
Now I'm back after seven long years, hoping for a chance to right my wrongs and fix what I've broken. This time I can only hope that loving Shane Wilder will be enough to save him.

With a Friend's Strength (Badge and Bullets Series, Book 2) by Brittany Cournoyer | Cat's Audio Review & #giveaway @KObiNarrator @TTCBooksandmore
With a Friend's Strength
By: Brittany Cournoyer
Narrated by: Kenneth Obi
After surviving two brutal attacks that nearly killed him, Bradley Danforth was determined to put them behind him and move on with his life. He moved into a new house on the other side of town and made a new resolve to live his life to the fullest. Only, Bradley can't seem to get the one person out of his mind who let him down the most, Max Donohue. When he starts receiving threatening messages, Max is the first-person Bradley turns to for help.
Max is a homicide detective who quickly learned that the job is about more than catching the bad guy and being a hero. When he's assigned a cold case he'd rather leave alone. Max knows he must face a past he buried a long time ago so he can close it once and for all. Max is soon immersed in more than just a murder as he discovers evidence of corruption and a massive cover up. The combination of working the cold case and battling his demons is enough to send Max into a downward spiral, but when Bradley comes to him for help, Max finds the strength to do whatever he can to keep him safe.
Will Max step up to the challenge he failed to overcome before, or will someone succeed in ending Bradley's life once and for all?
With a Friend's Strength is the second installment of the Badge and Bullets series featuring the same two characters. It is a suspenseful murder mystery that depicts detailed crimes, strong language, and adult situations. While this series will include a romance, it's a slow burn that develops throughout the series.
Buy links Audible Amazon
Cat gives this one 5 Meows...
With a Friend's Strength Is Book Two of the Badge and Bullets series. You should read them in order starting with At a Stranger's Mercy since this takes up after the events there.
I love these two men and I love the slow burn as they are working on friendship and Bradley is trying to build trust in Max. This sort of has two stories rolled in one as Max is working on a cold case that reminds him of his past and we get a lot of Max in this one.
The story is well written, suspenseful and the characters so realistic. It is a slow burn so don't expect any sex. I cannot wait for the next book.
If at all possible, get the audios because Kenneth Obi adds great voice and excitement to enhance your experience.
Brittany was born in a small town in Alabama and moved to Indiana when she was thirteen years old. She currently resides there and works as an operator at a local hospital. When she isn't working, she loves to spend her free time writing stories, playing with her puppy, Delilah, watching television, and spending time with loved ones.
Ben's Beginning (New Beginnings, Book 2) by Leona Windwalker | Cat's Audio Review & #giveaway @ShroudedDancer @TTCBooksandmore
Ben's Beginning
New Beginnings, Book 2
By: Leona Windwalker
Narrated by: Matt Standley
Series: New Beginnings, Book 2
Publisher: Rune Tree Press
Filled with guilt and self-recriminations over his identical twin Sol's kidnapping and abuse, Ben seeks counseling, which reveals he too has scars from his own suffering during the ordeal. He desperately tries to make amends with Sol, Seth, and his foster parents and to make himself a better man. Meeting sweet, funny, gorgeous Marty at the Crab Derby seems like fate is finally smiling on him; then he returns to college in Atlanta and spies Marty at his favorite local coffee shop. Marty causes him to have to face questions he never knew he'd have to ask about himself, as he discovers Marty is not a girl at all as he'd first supposed. Marty's not only a very gender fluid male but the one person who seems to complete Ben's heart, if Ben could only accept both Marty and himself as the people they truly are.
When events from his past return, Ben's left wondering if perhaps karma has returned to pay him in kind and whether Marty will end up as collateral damage. Desperate to hold on to what they might have together, Marty enlists the help of family and friends to help Ben find his self-worth. But is it enough? Marty hopes so. He simply can't imagine a happily ever after without Ben in it.

This is the second book in the New Beginnings series and is Ben's story. I will admit I lie the first book much better because I fell for Sol. This story is sweet, and I admit I really liked Marty. This is a story about being yourself and how hard that can be at times.
The Narration was just okay.
Leona is a longtime staunch supporter of human rights and environmental causes. Her favourite genre to read is M/M fiction and she particularly enjoys science fiction, fantasy, and action/suspense subgenres--especially if they have a nice seasoning of romance. She has far too many books on her Kindle, has overloaded her phone with even more and, when not reading, writing, being driven to distraction by her children, or being overlorded by her three cats, can be found trying to locate the portal that the sock monster uses to steal socks from her dryer.
I've Got This ( A Joy Universe Novel) by Louisa Masters | Cat's Review & #giveaway @Dreamspinners @AuthorLouisaM @TTCBooksandmore
Derek Bryer loves his life. His job as an assistant director at Joy Universe, the second-largest theme park complex on the planet, makes him indirectly responsible for bringing joy (pun intended) to millions of people. So what if none of his relationships are that close? Everyone he meets loves him.
Except Trav Jones. For some reason, the visiting Broadway performer would rather Derek just go away. He appreciates Derek's work ethic, though, and after Trav steps up when Derek desperately needs someone to fill in for his sick staff, Derek seizes the chance to convince Trav he's not such a bad guy.
Falling in love while distracted by a murder at the park, food poisoning, and colleagues placing bets on their relationship won't be easy, but between the two of them and with the magic of Joy Universe, they've got this.

I love this cover. It really set the tone for Derek.
Derek is a work driven man and loves his job, but it leaves no room for romance. That is until he meets the one man that seems to not like him on the worse day of his life. He is faced with murder in one of his villas and almost all his dancers get hit with salmonella. Trav Jones is a Broadway performer in one of the shows and fills in for the sick dancers. but he doesn't seem to like Derek like everyone else, so Derek tries to find out why and sparks fly.
The story is interesting from the start the characters are all likable and intriguing and I didn't want to put the book down once I started. It is a sweet, charming story.
I JUST can't help it—I sing loudly to myself and the cars around me as I drive to work. Well, considering the speed traffic is moving at, it's unlikely anyone in those cars can hear me, but I like to think that maybe I'm brightening someone's morning with my off-key warbling along to the radio. Everyone should be as happy to face the morning as I am.
Admittedly, I have a pretty great life. I'm thirty-seven and have great parents who live far enough away that I don't have to see them too often. I'm also financially independent, with friends around the country—the world, actually, thanks to my employer's propensity for hiring talented people from around the globe—and generally get along with everyone. I can recognize the good things about myself—and the not-so-good things, but why would I want to tell you about those? Let's call it confidence. I'm confident in myself. And that means that most mornings I wake up happy to face the day.
Some people hate their jobs. Not me. I've worked damned hard since graduating college, and now I'm in the enviable position of being an assistant director at the second-largest entertainment complex in the world—the youngest ever assistant director. For those of you who don't know, that's Joy Universe, a resort and theme park complex in southern Georgia, not far from the Florida state line. JU has four theme parks, twenty-six resorts and three campgrounds, and a shopping and entertainment village that rivals anything on offer anywhere else.
The downside? The complex is pretty much in the middle of nowhere, except for the town that was established to provide housing and services for staff. It's called Joyville, and is now a thriving small city, actually beginning to attract residents who don't have any connection to JU—although, as a long-term resident myself, I don't know why. Still, the University of Georgia recently decided to build a campus in Joyville, so I guess it'll keep on growing.
I'm just turning in the entrance of the JU complex when my phone rings, cutting off the musical talents of whatever pop star the radio was playing. I flick a glance at the in-dash display.
It's Dimi, my assistant. He's an ambitious overachiever, so he usually beats me to the office, despite the fact that I get there at seven thirty and he's not required to start work until eight. The point is, he knows exactly when I'm due to arrive, so the only reason for him to call is if there's an emergency.
I'm just about to hit the button to accept the call when sirens shatter the morning calm. A peek in the rearview mirror shows two police cars, lights flashing, tearing around the corner from the highway. They zip past me as I answer. "Are those sirens for us?"
"Murder at Tiki," Dimi says tersely.
Double fuck.
Dreamspinner and Riptide both offer excerpts on their site for the titles. I usually copy the prologue or several paragraphs from the first chapter.
Louisa Masters started reading romance much earlier than her mother thought she should. While other teenagers were sneaking out of the house, Louisa was sneaking romance novels in and working out how to read them without being discovered. She's spent most of her life feeling sorry for people who don't read, convinced that books are the solution to every problem. As an adult, she feeds her addiction in every spare second, only occasionally tearing herself away to do things like answer the phone and pay bills. She spent years trying to build a "sensible" career, working in bookstores, recruitment, resource management, administration, and as a travel agent, before finally conceding defeat and devoting herself to the world of romance novels.
Louisa has a long list of places first discovered in books that she wants to visit, and every so often she overcomes her loathing of jet lag and takes a trip that charges her imagination. She lives in Melbourne, Australia, where she whines about the weather for most of the year while secretly admitting she'll probably never move.


Everybody has a vacuum cleaner at home. Most people have upright vacuums that are heavy and don't easily reach corners and under furniture. If you feel like you are ready for a different way of cleaning, you may find our suggestions appealing.
We started out with one Miele vacuum, then bought a second one to avoid carrying it constantly upstairs and downstairs. At some point we decided to try the Roomba robot. We used it happily for the bedrooms upstairs. It made huge difference for us because we no longer needed to contort ourselves vacuuming under the beds.
Recently we bought the automatic floor mop, Mint. Now Mint is the main worker upstairs where we have mostly tile and hardwood flooring. Roomba still works in the office upstairs where we have an area rug. Occasionally we would vacuum upstairs with the canister vacuum if we need the job done in 20 minutes. Downstairs we still use Miele because we have lots of rugs and it is much faster than Roomba.
Here we review the four cleaning machines we have used.
Miele brand makes very lightweight vacuum cleaners. Not only they are lightweight but you just need to move the handle to clean and don't drag the whole vacuum with each move. When you need to go to a new area the vacuum glides behind on wheels.
It is incomparably easier to clean compared to standard heavy upright vacuum cleaners.
The floor cleaning tool makes possible cleaning under furniture and in corners. It effortlessly transitions from smooth floors to carpeted surfaces with a quick click of the rocker switch.
If you have tile, hardwood floors, rugs or low pile carpeting in your house, Miele Olympus can make a big difference in the way you clean.
For medium pile carpeting Miele offers more options. A few of them are Miele Capri, Miele Delphi, and Miele Titan. The floor tool in these versions has a turbobrush as well. For all that Miele has to offer you can go to their website.
We have two Miele vacuums in our house: one upstairs and one downstairs. With those we can clean the stairs as well because they are so light and easy to carry.
German engineered and made, Miele canister vacuums are of high quality, lightweight, and unsurpassed ease of use.
Hoover Linx is a perfect touch-up vacuum. Being powerful and lightweight, it is the best cordless vacuum on the market.
It has a Lithium Ion battery which provides strong suction without fading. There is a battery charge indicator that shows how much energy is left in the battery. When it is completely discharged the vacuum cleaner stops abruptly. This is a good thing because the cleaning power remains constant the whole time. Other stick vacuums usually lose their power gradually as the battery discharges and don't clean much at the end.
Rechargeable lithium-based technology currently provides the best performance. The batteries have a high power density that gives you a long battery life in a light package. And you can recharge a lithium-ion battery whenever convenient, without requiring a full charge or discharge cycle. The only thing you have to remember is to not store the battery in the charger because it will ruin it.
Linx is capable of cleaning tile, harwood floors, rugs, and carpets. It has a switch that turns on a motorized brush for cleaning even thick carpets. See it below in action.
This is a bagless vacuum that is very easy to clean.
The amount of time it works on a single charge varies depending on whether or not the brush is on. We bought Hoover Linx for one of our mothers. Hers lasts for about 15 min. on tile/hardwood floors. When we visit we use the vacuum for quick clean-up in the kitchen area after meals. We also go around the house to clean the heavy traffic areas when we have more visitors.
If you live in a small house or apartment you may even be able to use Hoover Linx as a main vacuum. Just get a second battery.
Hoover also makes a handheld vacuum which uses the same battery.
If you have heard about another automatic floor mop called Braava you should know that it is not anything different. Evolution Robotics is the company that created Mint. It was later bought by iRobot. The latter offered Mint for awhile and now changed its name to Braava. It is the same old Mint with a new name. Their prices don't differ either. And Mint is now offered once again with the name Evolution Robotics attached to it.
Mint Plus 5200 is a wonderful solution for clutter-free houses and floors ideally without area rugs. It is very quiet and works fast. The less obstacles it has to avoid, the faster the cleaning is. In order to maximize on its cleaning abilities you have to move chairs and other small obstacles out of its way. We always do that in the kitchen and it cleans perfectly covering all the area.
Mint uses NorthStar navigation cube for guiding. We have a piece of furniture in a middle of a wall and Mint always cleans on both sides of it. Without the cube it will not know that the room continues beyond the furniture.
If you are planning on buying Mint and expect yours to work like the one in the commercial you have to tweak the procedure a bit. Mint uses two types of cleaning cloths for its two cleaning modes. The white cloths are to be used dry in SWEEP mode. This is the mode you see used in the commercial where Mint is moving in straight lines and it looks as if the path cleaned by the robot is sparkling and wet. But this sparkling cleanliness will not happen if Mint is used in sweep mode. It will happen if you use the wet blue cloths in MOP mode. But then the robot will not move in nice straight lines but rather back-forth for deeper cleaning. This will slow it, of course.
We discovered that to make Mint move in straight lines with wet cloth we just needed to put the wet blue cloth very tightly on its pad (the reservoir one) and use the SWEEP mode. We achieve the tightness by folding one side of the cloth inwards a bit; if it sticks out of the velcro strips it interferes with the sensors in the middle of the pad.
Cleaning with dry cloth in sweep mode is more like collecting dust and hairs and pushing them around. It is great if you have a lot of those and want them piled-up for easy removal but for hair-free floors the wet cloth is much better.
We don't fill the reservoir pad because our floors are fairly clean and we found that if the blue cloth becomes too wet the robot starts to struggle and can't move further. Before we bought the Mint we read every single review on Amazon trying to find one that is not coming from a pet house. The problem is that if you live with a pet then there is a lot of pet hair on the floors and you are not so picky as to whether all of it is removed or not.
Our house is fairly clean and we wanted to know if Mint will match our standards. We did not find the review we were looking for but took the plunge and bought Mint. We are really happy with the way it cleans our house. It is as good as the manual vacuum as far as removing lint and dirt off the floors. We don't have large particles on the ground, which Mint not being a vacuum obviously can't pick. In such cases, you will need to vacuum first.
Unlike Roomba, Mint does not have virtual wall devices. This may be a problem for large areas without doors. But there is a solution. You can simply pause the robot, clean the cloth and restart. It continues moping the rest of the area.
Mint considers walls the very small borders between tile and hardwood. We have such borders between the tile in the kitchen and the surrounding hardwood flooring and thus we can clean just the kitchen. Rugs and carpets are also considered a wall and Mint never goes there. Also just like Roomba, Mint will sense the stairs and avoid them.
For one large area with no borders (between connected rooms) we put Mint in the middle. It always cleans on its right first and when it finishes that part we just stop it. After washing the cloth we put the robot back in the middle but now facing the opposite way to clean the other part.
Mint can also be used with standard Swiffer disposable pads in mop mode.
We got our Mint Plus 5200 with a turbo charging cradle which charges it in about 2h. Without the turbo charger it takes about 4h. Unlike Roomba, this robot does not self-park at the charging station. It also cannot be scheduled. All this is understandable as a person needs to tend to it anyway.
Do not wet the white cloths that are meant to be used dry with the multi-purpose pad in sweep mode. The motor will not be able to move Mint properly.
If you want to use wet cloth in sweep mode: fold inwards the blue cloth when attaching it to the velcro strip on the reservoir pad. This ensures that the cloth is pulled tight and will not slide back-forth to interfere with the robot's smooth movement.
Wash the blue cloth after each room.
Do not fill the reservoir of the reservoir pad if your floors are not covered with grime or pet hair. If the cloth is too wet the robot cannot move properly.
Remove as many objects from the floor as possible. Too many chairs will surely confuse Mint and it will miss spots.
Mint does an excellent job mopping floors with medium amount of dirt and no large particles.
It is quiet and fast, and can be used in all rug-free areas of the house.
Roomba, like Mint (or Braava) is again heavily marketed to pet owners for cleaning pet hair. But it works great for floors without pet hair too. Actually, it works better if it is not overwhelmed by dirt. Pet owners with a lot of pet hair are not very happy with this robot. But those with moderate amount of dirt declare that they had made the greatest purchase of their lives.
Before Mint, our Roomba 650 was cleaning the bedrooms and the home office and was doing excellent job. It was doing as good a vacuuming as us with the manual canister vacuum. It follows the walls and cleans in corners with its extended rotating brush. Now Mint took over all areas of the house that have hardwood floors or tile.
Mint is just a mop but has the advantage of being much quieter and faster than Roomba. But Roomba can go on the rugs and this makes it more versatile. Thus, Roomba is a good vacuum for certain areas of the house: bedrooms with rugs, basement, kitchen. In order to clean a whole house you have to tolerate its noise for a long time and clean and recharge it 2 -3 times.
Roomba, unlike Mint, has virtual wall devices which draw invisible line that the robot does not cross. This is useful for large open areas to limit the area and improve the quality of cleaning. Therefore, Roomba is good for cleaning one room or area at a time. It definitely benefits from emptying the dust bin after each room. This ensures that there will be no dust bunnies scattered around by the robot.
Roomba, like Mint, has sensors that detect stairs and avoids them. But these sensors also make it think that black rugs are stairs and it gets confused on those. Too tall rugs are also an obstacle for Roomba and it may not be able to climb on them.
Roomba has scheduling ability and the newer models can be even remotely controlled. It also docks itself to the charging station but does not return to finish its cleaning afterwards. We never used the scheduling or the self-docking capability. We preferred to clean the robot after each room.
The newest models have Hepa filters and better power management software that results in twice as long battery life. We had one battery replaced after 2 years, but our model (650) does not have the battery life prolonging software.
Remove clutter. Roomba (and every other cleaning robot) does better job with fewer obstacles on the floor.
Clean one room (or area) at a time and clean the robot afterwards.
Do not expect to be able to clean a large house with Roomba at once. It is too slow and will need number of recharges.
Use Roomba for bedrooms and other isolated areas. Roomba is loud and it is best to keep it working behind closed doors or in remote areas of the house.
Roomba cannot be used as a main vacuum for large houses. You will need more than one of them for that. For apartments one Roomba will do it.
Roomba does an excellent job on floors with medium amount of dirt.
I agree with you about Hoover Linx. I have it for over 2 years now and it still works great. Before it I went through 4 other cordless vacuums and they all were dying after less than a year.
I was wondering what is the difference between Mint and Braava robots. Thanks for clarifying.


While I'm not ready with a technical comparison of this year's incubation attempts, I would like to share an observation.
With the four batches of our own runner duck eggs I have incubated in total (two batches last year and two batches this year, this far), I have noticed an interesting correlation between the ease of hatching and the behaviour of the ducklings.
Last year, the first batch was a success (with 10 ducklings hatching easily and without help) and these birds were very alert, busy, curious and quite friendly. The second batch had eggs with too hard shells, had evaporation problems and consequently, had hatching problems. We had several help-outs and some eggs failed to hatch. The ducklings that did survive, were kind of prone to panic, a lot more passive than the first bunch, and as they grew, they preferred to lay down as often as possible. All the 7 birds that grew up were drakes. A couple of them were nice and I even sold one, but most of them ended up on our dinner table.
In my previous post I wrote about the first incubation of this year, which was a failure, a lot worse than last year's second batch. What I did notice about the ducklings that survived, was that again, they are kind of passive, they start panicking really easily, and they have leg and posture problems. Luckily, the only female one of the 5 birds that are still alive, is really nice and good-looking.
And now, this year's second incubation was quite a success!
In this video, we can see a part of a perfect hatching process – the duckling has broken a wide enough opening into the egg shell, to get out of it comfortably.
Namely, after my failure, mostly all about egg shell thickness, I changed the percentage of different feed components and waited until the shells got thinner (eating the eggs is a nice way of testing for shell quality as well). I selected quite even-sized eggs (around 70 grams) and observed as their mass started dropping really as expected during incubation. Also, most of the eggs grew a by-the-book air sac.
And voila! Of the 9 eggs that were fertile, 7 developed nice air sacs and exactly these eggs hatched quickly and without any help needed. The rest did not hatch at all – a weird mismatch between expected weight loss and small air sacs. Unfortunately, one of the ducklings had a neck deformation and had to be culled. The rest of the birds remind me of our very first ducklings – again, they are alert, busy, curious and quite friendly. It seems that spending too long time in the hatching process affects so many factors of the health of the ducklings, not only their posture.
Here are some of the hatched ducklings on their first morning.

An estimated 43,250 men and women are diagnosed with oral cancer each year, and only about half of these will successfully fight the disease and continue living beyond the five year point following diagnosis. Because successful treatment is contingent upon early diagnosis and timely treatment, Dr. Joseph R. Loftus provides his patients from throughout Dallas, TX and the surrounding areas with comprehensive general dentistry solutions, including oral cancer screenings.
Like many other aggressive forms of cancer, oral cancer typically progresses to a state of advanced severity before it presents with obvious symptoms. This is yet another reason that general dentistry checkups are so vital to oral health and continued physical wellness. An oral cancer screening allows Dr. Loftus to closely and thoroughly examine all of the soft tissue surfaces within the mouth using specialized technology to pinpoint areas of potential concern. This is conducive to early detection and the rapid beginning of treatment.
If you notice any of the above symptoms or any other abnormalities, contact us immediately to schedule your appointment. While these symptoms do not necessarily indicate the presence of oral cancer, they are to be considered serious and they do warrant evaluation by your dentist.
How long has it been since your last general dentistry checkup? If it has been more than six months, it's time to contact us to schedule your visit. We look forward to providing you with exceptional dentistry and a kind, caring touch, helping you achieve and maintain optimal oral health for life. Our family-friendly office in Dallas, TX warmly welcomes patients from throughout the DFW Metroplex, including Frisco, Addison, Garland, Plano, Richardson, Irving, Cedar Crest, and beyond.
