Just finished puppy training at four paws training. Would highly recommend Kathryn she is amazing the knowledge she has on all the dogs and how they work teaching by playing games with your dogs, making that connection, also all the basic training to keep your dog safe.
A controlled environment for training and socialisation, well presented, and very enjoyable, learnt a lot too. Thanks. !
Smaller class definitely helped us and our nervous puppy, her confidence grew every week.
s Walking nicely on the lead.

Too funny. I can pretty much guarantee that NO ONE on here agreed with you regarding Askren. Considering that is an argument you used to try to point out my being wrong about the Metcalf 149 bracket, you may want to revisit that argument.
The right people agree with me, but ultimately, who cares? It's not who agrees with you here, it's whether what you say corresponds to reality. And you are dead wrong. You can keep arguing to the cows come home if you like.
WildTurkey44 321
Looks like you fellas agree to disagree. Btw i like your statement "the right people agree with me". Lol
boconnell 1,417
If you really thought it didn't matter who agreed with you then you wouldn't have brought it up when you thought it benefited your argument.
I'm not using it to supplement my argument. I just stated that because MSU, for some reason, believes I'm the only one who believes what I post here.

Everyone needs to remember there is no right or wrong on these comparisons.
But, if we're allowing for the changes in technique, Nolf beats McIlravy. Mac would never have been prepared for Nolf's counters.
MSU158 1,503
yet again you cite the "right people" without clarifying who or actually proving they agree............
I'd take Lincoln Mac all day. That dude was relentless
Nolf is also relentless and is on the same career college path McIlravy finished with.
Was this the year Mac won ncaa by 1 pt. in the final?
No different from you always talking as if it's a given that I'm holding onto an opinion that no one else does. You never provide poll results. Again, I'm not using anyone else to supplement my argument.

I'll take this as a compliment.
Nope. He beat Bono 5-3 in OT that year. But, Bono wasn't exactly chopped liver.
Edited to add: Bono was the defending Champ. The year you are talking about is McIlravy's TF season. His opponent was Gerry Abas.

Also, if 87-0, 54 pins and 2 Hodges isn't enough to resemble a good argument, I am happy to not argue with you about it...............
Those Askren stats remind me of arguments I used to have years ago on the old boxing forums. The Askren arguments are eerily similar to the ones I used to have over the "great" boxer Acelino Freitas. He was kind of like the Askren of boxing.
2004: Acelino Freitas 35-0 (31 KOs). He's the next biggest thing in boxing folks, he's truly one for the ages"! "He's relentless. He knocks guys out from all angles with BOTH hands.
Freitas fans: He is an all time great. No one is doing what he's doing right now. He's amazing. He's just at another level.
Me: He's pretty good guys.
Frietas fans: "What do you mean pretty good? Stop with the backhanded compliments. He's amazing, you're just a hater".
Me: Yeah, he has some talent, but he's not quite elite. Yes, he appears to be elite, but that's because he's not facing the top fighters yet. Remember what happened to him in the amateurs when he faced the creme de la creme? He was outclassed. If you're looking for an elite fighter, check out Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Frietas fans: Why are you going back to the amateurs? He's waaaayyy different now. He's jumped levels. He's much better. Besides, that's not even the same style fool. And...
Me: Wait. Are you sure that he has jumped levels? Maybe he looks a million bucks because he's facing weaker, younger fighters. He has talent, but he's not nearly as special as you think. Once he faced the truly great technical boxers he's going to run into problems
Freitas fans: Hahaha are you kidding me? That's what they said about Joel Casamayor. They said he was a great technical boxer and Freitas beat him easy. He would beat anyone including that Mayweather guy.
Me: Yes, he had a good win over Casamayor. I give him credit, that was impressive. Still, Casamayor is a notch below elite. He's second tier just like Freitas. Freitas can certainly get away with his mistakes against these types, but that will not happen against tier 1 opponents. Not consistently at least.
Freitas fans: I vehemently disagree with you. Anyone who says a world champion with a 35-0 31 KO record is not top tier is crazy. No one agrees with you. No one. Most here on this forum do not agree with you.
Cletus_Tucker reacted to this
Me: The right people agree with me!
Freitas fans: Oh please. And who are these "right people"?
Me: It doesn't matter who they are really. Also, I'm under no obligation to prove to you that which is common knowledge. You should just focus on the fact that what I say corresponds to reality.
Freitas fans: Freitas is awesome.
Me: He appears to be awesome given his competition.
Freitas fans: But you say Mayweather is "elite" and "top tier" or whatever stupid words or phrases you always overuse, and he actually showed flaws against Corley. He almost got knocked down! Hahahaha.
Me: Yes he did show flaws, nobody's perfect.
Freitas fans: Freitas would knock that Corley guy out!
Me: I agree
Freitas fans: So that means he's better, right?
Me: No. Believe it or not, he's actually more likely to win by knockout because.........he's worse.
Freitas fans: Ahhhhhhhhhh! Just stop you idiot!!!!!! You're not making any sense whatsoever.
Me: You see Freitas fights the way he does because he has to. He has no choice but to be a KO artist. He lacks versatility. He can't win against the best with high level, high percentage boxing skills and tactics so he has to bait opponents into boxing a very particular match to win. He has to force brawls and rely on his opponents making mistakes.
That's all well and good until he faces someone that is a Jack of all trades. Someone who has mastered the fundamentals of the sweet science. Someone with top tier head movement, footwork, defense, offense, and timing. A truly great boxer. These guys will not let him bait them into bad positions, for they will be doing the baiting. Through superior skill, they will dictate the pace and land most of the scoring punches. He will be outclassed and it won't be competitive. The way these guys fight is how all the best trainers teach the up and comers how to fight. Head hunters like Freitas are good for filling seats maybe, but there's a reason that style is never actively taught at the best boxing gyms. It doesn't work at the highest level. He's essentially turned a gimmick into his whole style! Don't get me wrong, he's an innovator and I appreciate what he's accomplished, but there's no reason to think his style should be the norm amongst the elite. The best trainers will analyze his style, take from it what works, and discard the rest of. it. Sadly, Freitas isn't able to do that
Freitas fans: You are being silly. Attention right? That's what you want I mean? Or is this a joke? This is a joke right?
Me: Nope
Freitas fans: You're a joke.
Me: Sadly the jokes on you comrade. I'm sorry that these truths hurt you, it's not my intention to cause any harm. I know you're a big Freitas fan so you should rejoice in the fact that the current set up of the sport favors your favorite fighter.
Freitas fans: Favors how?
Me: Oh, the fact that there are so many weight classes helps hide the fact that he isn't all that he's cracked up to be. Truth be told, there's a few guys at the weight below and above that would beat him. He's able to avoid these guys because of this fact. I'm not saying he's afraid, just that he's lucky. If there were only 8 weight classes and one title per weight like in the past, he probably would never even be a world champion. A truly elite guy like Mayweather can compete against the best from all eras. If we had a tournament that included all the greats of the past, a guy like Mayweather would be competitive with anybody and place high, the same can't be said for Freitas. He probably would never make the finals if we re-boxed the tournament 10 times.
Freitas fans: Nobody here agrees with you. It's useless trying to debate you on anything. You won't listen. Freitas is a serious threat to beat anybody from any era. He's not just your average world champ. He's knocking out solid competition. 35-0 (31 KOs) is amazing. He's a 2 time KO artist of the year, none of the "elite boxers" that you talk about have done that.
Me: Whatever.
*Few years later. Freitas has taken multiple losses and is out of the p4p top 10. Meanwhile, Mayweather is undefeated and his recognized as #1 p4p in every major boxing publication.
Me: Freitas fans where are you? What happened? Your guy was outclassed just like I told you, right? How come he couldn't switch styles mid-fight? He wasn't to versatile was he?
Me: Sigh
Me: Freitas fans where are you?
Go outside and get some sun Mr!

It's time for a shower actually. I just couldn't pass up my Askren=Freitas post. It's darn near the perfect comparison. Every era this same type of argument comes up. In the late 60s/early 70s Freitas = Rick Sanders. Mid 70s it was Schalles. 80s Mills. Mid 200s it was Askren.
BigTenFanboy 1,710
bigmik is right.
hes always right.
even when hes wrong hes right.
askren is not elite.
that means anyone and everyone he's beaten is less than not elite.
that also means everyone that was competing in division 1 ncaa wrestling during the same years as him are also less than elite.
even though he was on the olympic team in 2008 hes not elite.
that means everyone in the usa at 74k is not elite.
if you disagree its ok because that just means your not the "right person"
Askren types = Freitas. Cael types = Mayweather. Askren has a style that can beat all but the top 1%. (consistently).
I'm not sure why you are scandalized by the fact that very few people belong to the elite category. This is true for nearly everything.
Elite composers: Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Chopin
Sprinters: Bolt, Michael Johnson, Carl Lewis, ?
Wrestling coaches: Gable, Gallagher, Cael, Griffith, Roderick, Cael, Smith, Brands, J. Rob
I didn't scandalized anything. I agreed with pretty much everything you wrote in your previous posts.

Yellow_Medal and xander reacted to this
It's not troll work. There's a lot of truth to what I say. People may not like it, but it's the truth just the same.
Oh you didn't know? Bigmik speaks the truth and nothing but the truth. Even when he lies he speaks the truth! I have yet to find a post where he was wrong even once! And even when he was wrong he was right. All you have to do is ask the right people!
There are styles that have the ceiling of beating every type of wrestler consistently, and styles that can be successful against all but the top 1%. You guys can argue amongst yourselves all you want about this. Call me names. Mock. Bloviate. Cry. Start clubs . Wear curly afro wigs in solidarity. And this will remain true whether you like it or not.
Two wrestlers walk in a room, one is thoroughly entrenched in "Cael style", the other "Askren style". An elite coach will look at the former and say to himself, "The sky is the limit", and to the latter, "I'll just have to do the best with what I've got".
You are right about this. Askren was a guy who looked good because of margin of victory, but he also struggled to get to his own offense. I remember the NCAA tournament of his first title he saw Wes Roberts of OU in the first round and barely won because Roberts wouldn't do anything. He just sat in neutral and didn't allow any scrambles to be created. A little like Hazewinkel vs Simmons for the Olympics in 2012, except Roberts didn't pull it off.
And yes, all things equal, the 'Cael' style as you called it is the higher ceiling. But not everyone who wrestles the Cael style is better than everyone who wrestles the 'Askren' style. I wish the guy with the sound fundamentals won because I like that style, but guys like Askren and Eirman can occasionally make their low ceiling style work so well that they beat 'better' guys. Askren was able to do that to the tune of 4 finals, 2 NCAA titles, and an olympic appearance in a style that is anathema to everything he did well (freestyle).
So no, Askren will never be in the class of a guy like Cael, and the guys like Cael will almost always break down the funk that guys like Askren use, but occasionally a guy like that does it so well he is near the top of that 2nd tier. Askren was that guy.
Boconell,
Yes a guy with a conventional "Cael style" will not always beat someone with an "Askren style", nor is he always better, especially if they don't have the similar talent levels. But at the highest levels, at the same talent level, the "Cael" style is preferable. That's why coaches will always teach that style. The Sanders, Askren, Mills, etc. wll always meet its kryptonite at the highest levels.

Q: Problema em identificar triângulo em Java Bom, ainda sou muito novo no mundo da programação e estou tentando fazer um simples código onde ele diz se o triângulo é isósceles, escaleno ou equilátero dependendo da medida dos lados digitada. Porém, se eu digitar todas as medidas iguais, ao invés dele apenas dizer que o triângulo é equilátero (todos os lados são iguais), ele tambem diz que é isósceles (apenas dois lados são iguais).
Exemplo:
Digite o valor do primeiro lado:
10
Digite o valor do segundo lado:
10
Digite o valor do terceiro lado:
10
O triângulo é equilátero.
O triângulo é isósceles.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 7 seconds)

Esse é o código:
int lado1, lado2, lado3;
    Scanner leia = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.println("Digite o valor do primeiro lado:");
    lado1 = leia.nextInt();
    System.out.println("Digite o valor do segundo lado:");
    lado2 = leia.nextInt();
    System.out.println("Digite o valor do terceiro lado:");
    lado3 = leia.nextInt();

    if ((lado1 == lado2) && (lado2 == lado3) && (lado3 == lado1)) {
        System.out.println("O triângulo é equilátero.");
    }

    if ((lado1 != lado2) && (lado2 != lado3) && (lado3 != lado1)) { //O != significa diferente
        System.out.println("O triângulo é escaleno.");
    }

    if ((lado1 == lado2) || (lado2 == lado3) || (lado3 == lado1)) {
        System.out.println("O triângulo é isósceles.");
    }

Alguém sabe me dizer o problema?

A: Você pode fazer desse jeito:
if (x == y && x == z){
    System.out.println("Três lados iguais . Trata-se de um Triangulo Equilatero");
}else if(x == y || x == z || y==z ){
    System.out.println("Dois lados iguais . Trata-se de um Triangulo Isosceles");
    }else
    System.out.println("Três lados diferentes.");

mais simples e atinge o objetivo.

If we accept what the market has available, and accept that we have to work with what is available, then we can buy from open production lines at current market prices. We can also buy a few/many extra for the warehouses.
Once it has been decided how to work with what is available then it also becomes easier to buy new stuff to replace old stuff or even to do new things.
40 years working in the food industry and I can't think of one single instance where I have found it necessary to engage a company to build something that requires a dedicated research program in order to gain a competitive advantage. There is more than enough flexibility to be found using what the market has on hand and is willing to support.

Supply chains: companies shift from 'just in time' to 'just in case'
Subscribe to read | Financial Times
News, analysis and comment from the Financial Times, the world's leading global business publication
www.ft.com
For decades, companies prioritised costs above all else when selecting suppliers, building factories and deciding how much stock to keep on hand. This philosophy was often dubbed "just in time" because it emphasised keeping inventory to a minimum and using short-term, flexible contracts that could be adjusted quickly to changes in demand.
But the drive for efficiency encompassed far more than that. Companies also moved production to low-wage locations, consolidated orders to maximise economies of scale, and tried to minimise their physical presence in high-tax jurisdictions.
Some businesses are increasing the inventory they keep on hand and entering into longer term contracts with key suppliers. Others are diversifying their manufacturing to create regional hubs with local suppliers and investing in technology to give them greater advance warning of potential bottlenecks. Some companies are also investigating ways of working with their rivals to share information to develop emergency back up facilities without falling foul of competition regulators.
"What companies love to do is to optimise working capital. So many manufacturers went to just-in-time inventory, and, pre-pandemic, that worked pretty well," Carol Tomé, chief executive of UPS, said at a recent industry event.
"But when the pandemic hit and everything was shut down, including manufacturing, and then the economy started to open and the demand . . . jumped, well, that just-in-time inventory didn't work any more. Companies are now thinking about, I need 'just in case' inventory," she added.
The Australians were past masters at this due to hard-learned lessons in WW2. The Mother Country could not be relied on when its need was great. These days America's need is challenging its abilities. Australia is stepping up its domestic capabilities.
On 31 March 2021, the Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced the acceleration of a Sovereign Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance Enterprise. The Enterprise aims to enhance Australia's self-reliance and supply chain resilience with a longer-term aim of developing a sovereign guided weapons manufacturing capability.

The Sovereign Guided Weapons & Explosive Ordnance Enterprise will provide the framework to support Defence's inventory of guided weapons and explosive ordnance and will comprise multiple capabilities.

Flutwein: Winegrowers don't get donations – Panorama
The "Flutwein" initiative showed that people in the Ahr Valley did not give up after the flood. In return for a donation, she offered wine bottles, "limited and original with mud", as stated in the campaign was called. The idea was good, the implementation quick, the marketing efficient. About 175,000 bottles were sent, they went all over Europe, to Japan, to New Zealand, now there are hardly any left.
Almost 4.5 million euros came together on the account of the non-profit association founded especially for this purpose. And there they are, months later, still. Along with the 2.5 million euros added through donations and solidarity wines from other regions. So far, the winegrowers have not received a single euro.
Open detailed view
After the heavy rain and the flood last July, some winegrowers offered muddy bottles as flood wine for donations.

The donations should help with the reconstruction and support the family businesses in viticulture, gastronomy and tourism to rebuild their houses and to get new equipment. "But a non-profit association is not allowed to provide economic aid," says Martin Georgi, chairman of the German Fundraising Association. This means that donations may not go to companies. This is what the tax code and the disaster decree of the state government of Rhineland-Palatinate say. The latter creates the possibility for those affected to receive emergency aid of up to 5000 euros, but only for individuals. "Even if the wineries receive some money from insurance companies and the state, most of the damage is significantly higher than 5,000 euros," says Georgi.
One of these winegrowers is Peter Kriechel from the winery of the same name in Ahrweiler, his family has been cultivating wine since 1555. He estimates that half a million euros would remain for his business as damage after payments from insurance and the state. Kriechel not only co-founded the "Flutwein" initiative, but has also become a kind of spokesman for the winegrowers in the Ahr Valley. He still gives interviews all the time, after a few minutes on the phone he has to change the phone, the battery is dead. He himself still seems to have energy, although he has been struggling for months to get himself and his colleagues back on their feet.
"There will be more disasters"
Together with the restaurateur Linda Kleber, who lost her restaurant to the flood, and Daniel Koller from SevenOne Entertainment, who is familiar with marketing and communication, he collected the mud bottles from around 25 colleagues so that the cellars were empty again for the new one Reading.
Now Kriechel wants to ensure that the donations finally reach the winegrowers. He is demanding what politicians promised immediately after the flood: "unbureaucratic, direct help." He and Georgi from the fundraising association are fighting to ensure that donations can also go to affected companies. "Politicians should make an exception here: It's just not everyday life when entire villages are washed away," says Georgi. And in the long term, the laws should also be adapted nationwide. "There will be more catastrophes," says Kriechel. "Then you have to be better prepared."
The problem does not only affect flood wine, but also other, sometimes larger organizations, such as Aktion Deutschland Hilft, which collected 278 million euros in donations for people in the flood areas. "The flood disaster made it clear again that the legal basis in Germany unfortunately does not allow quick action," says the executive director of the action alliance. She advocates the new purpose of "disaster relief" in non-profit law. "Here one could state that – up to a certain amount – private individuals and companies can equally participate in donations."
Are the wines "minor thank yous" or merchandise?
The "Landsaid" aid organization, which has also collected for the Ahr Valley, has shown that it can work on a small scale: a tax office checked their project applications separately and granted special permission for them to pay out donations to winegrowers.
But the flood wine also raises the question: Are the mud bottles "small thanks" for a donation, as Kriechel sees it, or are they purchases, as the authorities see it? Then they would have to be taxed, and a good half of the money would go to the tax office. That cannot be in the interests of politics, says Georgi. "If the companies hold out now, also thanks to these donations, and can soon start their grape harvest again, then far more can be expected from the tax than from this bickering over a few donations."
Had the companies already planned the donations? "Sure," says Kriechel. And the 4.5 million are far more than they ever expected. But the campaign brought something much more valuable: 47,500 supporters. "There are people who think of us, who give us hope, who don't forget us," he says. "That was even more valuable to us than the hard euro." Unfortunately, he cannot use it to buy new machines.

Teach about Plant Blindness
A world without plants?
Would you like to learn more about Plant Blindness and teaching about it in the classroom? JSTOR has some resources for you to help you get started.
We all know that a world without plants would jeopardize our survival. Plants play a fundamental role in human life and climate change is impacting their existence. But why is it easier to conjure up imagery of endangered animals but not of endangered plants? Think "plant blindness."
In 1998, Professors James H Wandersee and Elisabeth Schussler noticed after a review of several studies that elementary and middle school US students prefer to study animals rather than plants. This reflected a lack of recognition that plants form the basis of animal habitats and all life on earth. They noted that oftentimes educators and even biologists can underemphasize the value of plants. Therefore, Wandersee and Schussler made it their mission to campaign against "Plant Blindness."
Here are some free articles and other resources from JSTOR to help you delve into this important topic with your students:

The client already had a formal signed arrangement with the bank effectively admitting liability in excess of £500k with a consensual charge on the residential home.
There was only a maximum of £100k equity in the property, although it would provide some recovery for the bank on sale.
The matter was in our hands as our client's ability to earn was hampered by the fact he was undergoing protracted treatment for cancer and we therefore negotiated a nominal monthly payment at a much reduced sum than was previously agreed.
There were potential contentious issues we could have argued but in view of the signed agreement and our client's limited funds these were alluded to with the bank but not forced.
After reviewing the matter with the bank on a six monthly basis, it became clear in the third year that they were looking to close down their book and would be open to considering offers with that in mind.
An offer of £20k was accepted by the bank and in accordance with the full and final settlement the bank removed the charge on the property.


TELEVISION ADVERTISING IS WORTH AROUND £3.5BN annually in Britain. Individual prime-time slots can cost over £50,000, and it is anyone's guess what fee a 30-second commercial during the Olympics might command. But, despite the scale of the advertising industry, advertising revenues in commercial television have taken a battering in recent years, as advertising spending migrates to the internet, slumping 5% to a five-year low in 2006. It is time to rethink the funding of the commercial channels.
Before 1991, it was simple: create a television commercial and place it on one of the commercial channels. Then, in 1991, the UK regulator (ITC then; Ofcom now) relaxed the rules to allow whole programme sponsorship and soon Friends was brought to us courtesy of Wella. This January saw another advertising first, with Fiat taking over sponsorship of Five for the whole evening to celebrate the launch of the Fiat 500. This was the first channel sponsorship since Ofcom announced a further relaxation of the rules in 2006. Now, a new European Directive (coupled with a review from Ofcom of domestic policy) will allow product placement in TV programmes, as well as greater flexibility in the timing and distribution of advertising breaks.
Adopted by the EU at the end of November 2007, the Audiovisual Media Services Directive (2007/65/EC) (the AVMS Directive) in effect replaces the regulatory framework set out in the Television without Frontiers Directive 1989 (89/552/EC, as amended by 97/36/EC) (the TWF Directive). In the late 1980s, there was a relatively limited choice for viewers – state-owned and other terrestrial free-to-air broadcasters dominated in the market. The TWF Directive's main objective was straightforward: create a single market in television broadcasting. However, the pace of technological advancement and the range of audiovisual services available since meant that the old Directive needed to be adapted to take account of the changing media landscape of the 21st century. Enter the AVMS Directive. Most commentary on the new Directive has centred on the fact that, for the first time, it extends regulatory control to the internet and on-demand networks. However, it also allows product placement on television and amends the minimum standards on the timing and distribution of advertising on television channels across Europe. Advertisers and producers alike will be keen to understand how the rules are changing.
The current EU rules are in the TWF Directive, although Ofcom has the power to strengthen them for UK services. The TWF Directive limits advertising on television channels to an average of nine minutes per hour (plus up to three minutes of teleshopping spots), subject to a maximum of 12 minutes in any one hour. In addition, at least 20 minutes must elapse between advertisements within a TV programme (thereby allowing three breaks within a one hour programme) and 45 minutes for a film shown on TV. Further, somewhat complicated rules require that these breaks be taken during a 'natural break' in the programming (eg, at the end of a comedy sketch rather than halfway through it). Ofcom limits advertising breaks still further for public broadcast channels (ITV1, GMTV, Channel 4, Five and S4C) to an average of seven minutes per hour. This average is subject to a cap of eight minutes per hour during peak-time viewing and 12 minutes per hour for all other times. These channels are also only allowed one advertising break in each half hour.
Product placement is not currently allowed in TV programmes, although it is not banned from foreign TV imports or films shown on television (provided the UK broadcaster is not benefiting directly). However, prop placement (the use of products or services supplied at zero cost or reduced cost) is fine as long as it is justified editorially.
The AVMS Directive is to be implemented in the UK towards the end of 2009 and Ofcom aims to issue new guidelines at around the same time. In terms of the timing and distribution of advertisements, the AVMS Directive will permit the UK to eliminate the 20-minutes-between-breaks rule for TV programmes and allow breaks in films every 30 minutes. It will also permit the simplification of the rules by allowing a maximum of 12 minutes of advertising in every hour, regardless of overall averages. A new rule will prevent advertising in children's programmes that last less than 30 minutes.
Ofcom is currently in a consultation phase to try to understand how far it should implement these changes and the extent to which it should amend its Rules on the Amount and Distribution of Advertising. Ofcom recognises that viewers have greater opportunity to avoid adverts these days: more channels are available and increasing numbers of households use time-shifting to watch their programmes when they want (and to skip the adverts that they contain). The Virgin Media packages and Sky+ box, for example, allow consumers to record a programme or series at the touch of a button and replay it at their leisure, skipping through any adverts they do not want to watch. Some consumers even choose to delay their viewing by a mere ten minutes to allow them to fast forward through the advertisements. It is against this background that Ofcom is considering whether the viewing public will tolerate more advertisements. It suggests that some limits on the frequency of advertising breaks should be retained but it is consulting on a number of possible options. Ofcom is also seeking views on the amount of advertising that should be allowed on television and whether it should keep stricter rules for public service broadcasters.
the product in question cannot be given undue prominence.
A further consultation on the prohibition and any exception is expected shortly. It should be noted that product placement is not the same as prop placement, to which the prohibition does not apply.
As programmes are increasingly distributed across a range of new platforms, and traditional 'spot advertising' reduces as a result of technology and changing commercial models, product placement may provide a more effective form of marketing for advertisers, and a valuable source of revenues for producers (to supplement falling broadcast licence fees). Product placement is big business in the US and is widely used in US programming, although it is seen by many as being too intrusive. What producers and advertisers will want to see, therefore, is a clear set of codes and guidelines from Ofcom, which achieves an acceptable balance between editorial justification and 'product recognition'.

Alaska Commercial Fishing and other Maritime Losses of 1974
January 16, 1974 The 86 foot John N Olof went on the rocks in Portage Bay and all four crewmembers were lost. The men; John Blaalid, Arthur H Gilbert, Ivar Gjerde and David A Gilbert were all from Kodiak. Winds were reported to 100 miles an hour and seas to 40 feet.
February 15, 1974 The 80 foot steel tug Martin D capsized and sank February 15, 1974 in Sumner Strait near Wrangell Narrows. Three of her four crewmen were lost. Wind caught the barge that the Martin D was towing and blew it ahead of the tug causing her to capsize and sink. Lost were captain Jack MacKinnon, Jack Sanders (42) and Al Kite (51). Mike MacIntyre (22) was the sole survivor.
June 23, 1974 An unnamed riverboat capsized in a sudden storm with rough seas June 23, 1974 at Lutak Inlet near Haines. Seven people were lost.
July 29, 1974 Gerald Lewis Ennisser (31) fell overboard from a small skiff and drowned while fishing in Steamboat Bay near Ketchikan. Crewmen aboard the Sea Rider reported that Ennisser had a life vest because he could not swim. He was found with one arm through the webbing of the life vest.
September 9, 1974 Six people perished when an unnamed small boat capsized and was lost in Golovnin Bay, 90 miles east of Nome.
October 9, 1974 Two were lost when an unbalanced small boat capsized in Gambier Bay on the east shore of Admiralty Island.
November 4, 1974 Three people were lost when the private boat Tommy Boy went missing at Shelter Island near Juneau.
November 24, 1974 The freighter Geranium disappeared with all hands 70 miles south of Kiska Island in the Aleutian Islands. 28 were lost in the disaster. An empty life boat and scores of logs were all that was ever found.
December 20, 1974 An unnamed skiff was found running in circles off of Pennock Island, near Ketchikan. The vessel had signs of impact damage. One person was lost.

I remember the storm well, I was on the Lucky Lady at the time, we barely made it in to Kodiak. It was cold and boats were making a lot of ice.,,Good site, thanks.
Tim Johnson says:
I knew Dave Gilbert on the John N Olof pretty well. He left a young widow, if memory serves me, as did the others leave loved ones behind. About that time, I recall being on the Verona and running for harbor from another storm. Knowing all the while that if the wind switched we could be lost too.
Steve Watts says:
I stayed w Gilbert family a few years previous. Firm friends
Still feel the loss these 44 years later. Rip Dave and Arty.
Mike McIntyre says:
God was watching out for me on the morning of February 14, 1974. In memory of my shipmates Captain Jack MacKinnon, the 1st Mate Jack Sanders, and my friend the cook who went down with the vessel and was never recovered Al Byra Kite. I hope your families found peace and closure. Your shipmate and brother.
That was a very bad storm that winter. The day before your disaster, the shrimper Normar was lost over in the Shelikof Strait and the crew narrowly escaped as their vessel was lost. Some were severely frostbitten. The low pressure system passed below Kodiak as it worked east into the Gulf, so the winds were northerly off of the mainland. Icy winds over 70 is what the paper said, but in the places where the Normar and Martin D were they were likely funneled and increased. I guess you would call it a Taku wind over in Southeastern. I will email you the two newspaper accounts I have in my files, in case you don't have them. Thanks for remembering Jack, Jack and Al; RIP to all three. Smooth Sailing to You.
M MacHugh says:
I remember the Tommy Boy, having working with the skipper and owner, Curtis Miller. He was a fine man and a conscientious skipper. He was also a fisheries student at the University of Washington. Sail on, Curtis.
Greg Cushing says:
I was a senior in high school in Sitka in February 1974. I had already been commercial fishing for a couple years and also knew many of the tugboat crews, since my brother was working for Samson Tug, owner of the Martin D. I happened to be in the hallway when a man (friend or family member) came to the building to get Jack McKinnon's daughter and tell her the devastating news about her father. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was a heartbreaking scene. I remember my brother telling me that Mike McIntyre had survived and that was a relief.
Dave Andersen says:
looking for information on a name and boat that is on the seafarers memorial in Homer but not listed here: Steve Nixon, lost off the F/V Totem, August 8, 1974. Do you have information on that loss or Boat? Thank You
I have found a news article about this tragedy and sent it to you. Thanks for bringing Mr. Nixon's loss to my attention. I will be adding him to my lists of those "Lost at Sea in Alaska" shortly.
BRIAN MARIE says:
I seem to remember one of the better vessels out of Kodiak was the Olaf & Erikson(?), when I worked in Kodiak the summer of '73. When I went back down south to college in early 1974, I saw a strange article in the New Orleans Times Picayune about a "ghost ship" found all iced over that was that very same vessel! However, I don't see that vessel listed here. Was there a vessel by that name, or could it be the John N Olof? Does anyone remember the Olaf & Erikson? Thanks for any help!
The John and Olaf was the vessel found iced over in 1974 on the west side of the Shelikof (Jute Bay). No sign of the crew was ever found other than the empty liferaft down toward the Trinity Islands. I was not able to find a vessel with a name like Olaf & Erikson in the U S Merchant Vessels lists from the early 1970's. I was working in the canneries in Kodiak when this happened and was friends with some of the family who lost members. It is still something I think about often.
captaingood,
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, a bunch of us from Louisiana decided to see what Alaska was like, and ended up working in the canneries of Kodiak, as well. We mostly worked for Alaska Packers, butchering King Crabs. NOT the most pleasant of jobs! We knew, even back then, that those fishing jobs were the most dangerous in the world, but we still wanted to get on those vessels! Sorrowfully, good people are lost every year when they DO go down. May they ALL rest in peace!
Michael Taylor says:
Appearantly another ship by the name, a former great lakes ferry by the name of Belair went down with all 30 hands off the Aleutian Islands. I've only seen it mentioned here: https://greatlakeships.org/3703730/data?n=1
Furthermore, the sole source doesn't give a date of the sinking or any references to the ship making it to Alaska or being converted from a Lake Ferry named the Makinac Islander to a bulk carrier named the Belair is anyone able to shed some light on this maritime mystery. I'm beginning to think this later career, and wreck in Alaska doesn't exist.
The Belair lost in Alaska was as follows: The 91 foot crab fishing vessel Belair stranded and was lost February 1, 1994 at a seal rookery on the south side of Saint George Island. A helmsman sleeping at the wheel was the cause of the disaster. All six crewmembers escaped on a life raft to the beach where they were airlifted by a U S Coast Guard Helicopter from the Coast Guard cutter Rush to the fish processor Blue Wave moored nearby. The crew aboard the Belair was reported to include owner operator Lou Dochtermann of Kodiak, Bernie Maier of Kodiak, Robert Hunter of Kodiak, George Owner of Kodiak, Wade VanSant of Washington state and Joey Wolff of Washington state. Heavy seas broke up the Belair on the rocks and she became a total loss. Her Official Number was 221429. She was built at Marine City, Michigan in 1921 with a steel hull. Her original name was Mackinac Islander and later she became the Oliver H Perry. I knew the owner of the Belair and her crew and know the owner's son still. There were no losses of life when she was lost. The Official Number of a vessel never changes but the name does. That was the case with the Mackinac Islander/Oliver Perry/Belair.

Generalists in real estate law have long since served their time. The law continues to develop with increasing speed. Every year, hundreds of new court decisions – and counting – are published. Amendments to laws are coming into force at ever shorter intervals. A single person can no longer have a detailed grasp of the entire field of real estate law. For these reasons, it is essential to create specialist fields within real estate law in order for us to be successful in competition with other legal practices that specialize in real estate. At Wanderer und Partner every lawyer is responsible for a specialist area within his or her team.
The priority in our work is to avoid court proceedings. However, it is only possible to design contracts favourably, to avoid disputes from the outset and to resolve conflicts out of court if one makes an accurate assessment of both the client's position and the specific legal situation. In order to do this, a lawyer has to know the abstract legal situation, but also has to have practical experience in conducting court cases before the locally responsible judges.
We work as advisers and as court practitioners to an equal extent. Based on more than approximately 3,500 client cases and more than 1,500 court proceedings a year, we know – in our specialist areas – which clauses in a contract can strengthen or weaken the position of our client and which clauses are invalid or will stand up in a court of law.
It is particularly important to us to regularly inform our clients and their employees about new legal developments, to strengthen their knowledge of the law and to help them to avoid mistakes in applying the law. Consequently, we run in-house training sessions and give regular lectures at conferences and seminars.
On the basis of consultancy agreements, we are available to our clients on a daily basis to deal with both their specific and general legal questions.

Empowered or Imprisoned by Education?
Public education in our nation made a dramatic shift about fifty years ago. America's education system was originally designed to teach children how to think, but has shifted toward teaching children what to think. By every measurable standard, not the least of which are standards of morality, maturity, and character, our education system is failing.
But it is not just the government education system that has placed our children at risk–the church itself seems to be abandoning the classical education system of teaching youth how to think, leading to a large number of them abandoning their Christian faith as they become adults. At our current rate of decline, Christianity may become a minority religion in our nation within 30 years.
Dave Wager joins us to discuss the challenges we face in educating our children in the ways of God which should first happen in our homes. How are today's children prepared to stand firm in their faith in a world that wants to destroy their ability to think rationally and express their faith.
"I am convinced that the battle for humankind's future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers that correctly perceive their role as proselytizers of a new faith: a religion of humanity that recognizes and respects the spark of what theologians call divinity in every human being…The classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the old and new — the rotting corpse of Christianity, together with all its adjacent evils and misery, and the new faith of humanism, resplendent with the promise of a world in which the never-realized Christian ideal of 'love thy neighbor' will finally be achieved." — excerpt from an article by John Dunphy titled "A Religion for a New Age," appearing in the January/February 1983 issue of The Humanist Magazine.

Lewis Hamilton tells critics 'don't blame me for boring races' after another F1 procession
Hamilton won uneventful French Grand Prix on Sunday from pole position to extend Mercedes' winning run to 10 races
Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton celebrates on the podium after winning the Formula One Grand Prix de France at the Circuit Paul Ricard in Le Castellet, southern France. AFP
A triumphant Lewis Hamilton told his and Formula One's critics not to blame the drivers for "boring" processional races, but instead to turn their focus on the rule-makers.
The defending five-time world champion produced a flawless demonstration of racing to triumph from pole position for the second year in succession at Sunday's French Grand Prix.
In a largely uneventful race on a sweltering afternoon at the Le Castellet circuit, he led his Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas home as they extended the Silver Arrows winning run to 10 races.
It was hardly entertaining stuff for the fans at the track or the global television audience and Hamilton warned that the sport needed to consider making "serious changes".
Speaking after his 79th career victory, he told reporters they should consider who should be blamed before drawing any conclusions.
"Don't point fingers at the drivers because we don't write the rules," Hamilton said.
"We have nothing to do with the money and all that kind of stuff.
"You should put the pressure on the people at the head who should be doing their job. I think they are trying to, but for many, many years they have made bad decisions."
Lewis Hamilton wins French GP to extend Mercedes' unbeaten run to 10
Hamilton's relentless success in a dominant Mercedes team has been celebrated in some quarters as an era of greatness, but others - including the British driver - have said they want to see more on-track battles and closer competition.
As a keen follower of other racing series, including Indycars in the United States, Hamilton has often said Formula One needs to change its technical rule-book to encourage much closer racing.
He explained that he and Renault driver Nico Hulkenberg last week attended a meeting with Formula One Management (FOM) and the sport's ruling body, the International Motoring Federation (FIA).
At this meeting, he said they discussed the plans for an overhaul of the rules for 2021 and the introduction of cars that can tolerate the proximity of other cars in races, without aerodynamic problems.
He said he welcomed the fact that the sport's ruling bodies were open to hearing the views of the drivers.
"I had nothing to gain by going there, but if there is anything I can do to help, I will," he added.
"They've been making all these decisions and never had a driver's input once. So, if that can be decisive and help the fans to get better racing, then I would be proud."
He would not be drawn to say he had confidence that the initiative would result in the necessary dramatic changes to transform the racing and eliminate dull processions.
But, he said: "I have faith that it's going to be better and I really hope so. It was encouraging that they allow us to be there and they're really welcoming.
"I hope they will continue to have us there - a couple of us drivers each time."
He added that he remained optimistic.
"I think they've extended their decision on making the rules and I think they need to because they are nowhere near where it should be.
"They've got to make some serious changes to the decision they have already made for how 2021 should be.
"But I am encouraged that Ross [Brawn, F1 director] and his team are working, for the first time, on a real aero package that hopefully will have an impact."

Authorities release Austin bombing investigation documents
Suspected package bomber Mark Anthony Conditt (Drew Anthony Smith/Getty Images, Mark Conditt/Facebook via CNN)
AUSTIN, Texas – Federal officials said Monday that the suspect in a series of fatal Austin package bombings used PVC pipe casing, a metal pipe and shrapnel in his attacks that killed two people and seriously injured four others.
Authorities released an affidavit used to support an arrest warrant for suspect Mark Conditt. Investigators used bomb evidence, video surveillance, interviews and phone records to chart a path to Conditt. Police say he blew himself up March 21 as officers closed in to make an arrest.
The document still redacts details about some of the explosive materials used, confidential witnesses who were interviewed and phone numbers.
John Bash, U.S. attorney for the Western District of Texas, said authorities also dismissed an arrest warrant that had been issued hours before police say Conditt killed himself.
Bash said the investigation continues although no other suspects have been arrested "and we no reason to believe there are other suspects." Authorities have yet to determine a motive for Conditt's attacks and the affidavit gave no hint of one.
"We are looking through very voluminous computer records to examine his intent, his motivations," Bash said.
Beginning March 2, police say Conditt, 23, planted bombs in different parts of Austin. He began by placing explosives in packages left overnight on doorsteps, killing 39-year-old father Anthony Stephan House and 17-year-old musician Draylen Mason and critically injuring 75-year-old Esperanza Herrera. He then rigged an explosive to a tripwire along a public trail, injuring two young men who crossed it. Finally, he sent two parcels with bombs via FedEx, one of which exploded and injured a worker at a distribution center near San Antonio.
Investigators discovered a roughly 25-minute recording that Conditt had made on a cellphone allegedly confessing to the crimes. Authorities have not released that recording.
Christopher Combs, special agent in charge of the FBI's San Antonio office, said authorities worry releasing the recording could inspire copycat bombers.
"When you look at past active shooters or mass murderers, what we find is they study the previous events," Combs said. "We are concerned it could inspire other people to do other acts. (Conditt) says a number of statements that concern us and we just don't want that to live forever on the internet."

Women put off IVF after costs rise
By Julia Medew
October 26, 2011 — 3.00am
THOUSANDS of people have missed out on assisted reproductive treatment since the federal government changed funding last year, resulting in the loss of about 1500 babies who would otherwise have been born.
An analysis of Medicare data by the University of NSW found that while use of assisted reproductive technologies increased about 10 per cent each year between 2004 and 2009, it dropped 13 per cent last year when the government capped the amount of money Medicare reimbursed patients for procedures.

In vitro fertilisation, or IVF, is the most common assisted reproductive technology in Australia and costs about $7000 to $8000 a cycle. Depending on a woman's age and the treatment provided, there is about a 20 per cent chance of each cycle resulting in a birth.
Georgina Chambers, from the university's perinatal and reproductive epidemiology research unit, said the analysis showed that based on treatment trends before 2010, about 7000 IVF cycles were not undertaken last year because of the policy change. This meant about 1500 babies that would have been conceived through assisted reproductive technologies last year were not born.
Under the policy change, which began in January last year, out-of-pocket costs for treatments doubled from about $1000 to $2000 a cycle. The change also meant patients had to pay the full cost of each cycle before their treatment.
Dr Chambers said although her study was yet to be completed, the drop in use was most common among women aged 34 to 37 - a group highly likely to benefit from the treatment and achieve successful pregnancies.
A spokesman for the Health Minister, Nicola Roxon, said she stood by the changes to Medicare funding, which was prompted by specialists charging excessive fees.


It feels pretty surreal writing this as I am sitting on our hotel porch*** overlooking Locarno as it bends around Lake Maggiore. Yesterday, we flew into Zurich at around noon and drove to our first destination, Lucerne. It was a great introduction to Switzerland, and Europe! I have never been before and I am thrilled and grateful to be traveling with my partner in crime and to be meeting up with my parents in Paris in a few days.
Our hotel, Hotel Rebstock, was perfectly tucked away on a side street only steps away from the main bustle of downtown. We dropped our things and immediately took a well needed nap. I feel myself getting older since I can't bounce back from jet lag as well as I used to. After our R&R, we explored the city and ended at a castle! Who doesn't love European castles. That evening we ate at Grottino 1313 and had an amazing asparagus-themed tasting menu. Things I learned: I didn't realize how long Europeans take to eat, we were there for about 2.5 hours, I didn't realize asparagus could be served in so many amazing ways…including in our desert!

Bank insurance fund down 20 percent in second quarter
Last quarter, U.S. banks overall lost $3.7 billion, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said. The FDIC estimates bank failures will cost the fund around $70 billion through 2013.
The agency that guarantees bank deposits said Thursday there are no immediate plans to borrow money from the government to bolster its insurance fund, which fell 20 percent to $10.4 billion in the second quarter.
That's the fund's lowest point since 1992, at the height of the savings-and-loan crisis. Some analysts have warned that the fund could fall below zero by year's end because of the pace of bank failures.
Last quarter, U.S. banks overall lost $3.7 billion, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said. The FDIC estimates bank failures will cost the fund around $70 billion through 2013. Eighty-one banks have failed so far this year. Hundreds more are expected to fall in coming years largely because of souring loans for commercial real estate.
The FDIC's fund has now slipped to 0.22 percent of insured deposits, below a congressionally mandated minimum of 1.15 percent. The $10.4 billion in the fund is down from $13 billion at the end of March and $45.2 billion in the second quarter of 2008.
Asked about a possibility of tapping the U.S. Treasury, FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair said: "Not at this point in time. I never say 'never,' but not at this point in time, no."
At the same time, Bair reaffirmed the likelihood of an additional fee on U.S. banks this year to help replenish the fund, atop the estimated $5.6 billion from a new emergency premium that took effect June 30.
"The banking industry continues to provide the financial backstop for the FDIC and will pay nearly $18 billion in premiums in 2009 to cover losses from bank failures," James Chessen, chief economist of the American Bankers Association, said in a statement. The FDIC report shows the industry is at the midpoint of its troubles from the distressed economy, he added.
Despite the shrinking insurance fund, customers have nothing to worry about. The FDIC is fully backed by the government, which means depositors' money is guaranteed up to $250,000 per account. And the agency still has billions in loss reserves apart from the insurance fund.
Still, the FDIC needs to replenish its fund. It can do so by charging banks higher fees or by taking the more radical step of borrowing from the Treasury Department, where its credit line now reaches $500 billion.
If the FDIC were to take that step, "ultimately it's going to be repaid through bank" fees, said Brian Olasov, managing director and finance specialist at the law firm McKenna Long & Aldridge. The scenario "absolutely poses no risk at all to depositors," he said.
The FDIC also has opened the door wider for private investors to buy failed financial institutions. The FDIC's board voted Wednesday to reduce the cash that private equity funds must maintain in banks they acquire.
Private equity funds have been criticized as excessive risk-takers. But with fewer healthy banks willing to buy ailing institutions, the banking crisis has softened the FDIC's resistance to private buyers.
"No matter how challenging the environment, the FDIC has ample resources to continue protecting insured depositors as we have for the last 75 years," Bair said at a news conference. "A decline in the fund balance does not diminish our ability to protect insured depositors.
Besides the insurance fund, the FDIC has $21.6 billion in cash available in reserve to cover losses at failed banks, down from $25 billion at the end of the first quarter.
The agency likely wouldn't consider tapping its credit line at the Treasury, unless that cash were depleted, said Diane Ellis, deputy director of the FDIC's division of insurance and research.
The FDIC said surging levels of soured loans at banks dragged down profits in the April-June period. The $3.7 billion loss compared with profits of $7.6 billion in the first quarter, and $4.7 billion a year ago.
The agency also said the number of banks deemed to be in trouble jumped to 416 from 305 at the end of the first quarter. That's the highest number since June 1994. Total assets of troubled institutions surged to $299.8 billion from $220 billion in the first quarter.
The FDIC said nearly 66 percent of banks and savings and loans reported earnings below those in the second quarter of 2008, and more than a quarter posted a net loss.
"Banking industry performance is, as always, a lagging indicator," Bair said. "The banking industry, too, can look forward to better times ahead. But for now, the difficult and necessary process of recognizing loan losses and cleaning up balance sheets continues to be reflected in the industry's bottom line."
John Corston, the agency's associate director for large bank supervision, said banks' loans in commercial real estate are expected "to continue to deteriorate."
The 8,195 federally insured banks and thrifts set aside $66.9 billion in the second quarter to cover potential loan losses, up from $60.9 billion a year earlier.
The FDIC's insurance fund has been so depleted by the epidemic of collapsing financial institutions that analysts warn it could sink into the red by the end of this year.
That has happened only once before — during the savings-and-loan crisis of the early 1990s, when the FDIC was forced to borrow $15 billion from the Treasury and repay it later with interest.
Small and midsize banks nationwide have been hurt by rising loan defaults in the recession. When they fail, the FDIC is responsible for making sure depositors don't lose a cent.

Suffolk County is a county in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in the United States. As of 2014, the population was 767,254 making it the fourth-most populous county in Massachusetts. The county seat is Boston, the state capital and largest city. The county government was abolished in late 1999, and so Suffolk County today functions only as an administrative subdivision of state government and a set of communities grouped together for some statistical purposes.
Suffolk County is included in the Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Old Suffolk County Courthouse 1810-1841
The county was created by the Massachusetts General Court on May 10, 1643, when it was ordered "that the whole plantation within this jurisdiction be divided into four shires". Suffolk initially contained Boston, Roxbury, Dorchester, Dedham, Braintree, Weymouth, and Hingham. The county was named after Suffolk, England, which means "southern folk."
In 1731, the extreme western portions of Suffolk County, which included Uxbridge, were split off to become part of Worcester County. In 1793, most of the original Suffolk County (including Milton) except for Boston, Chelsea, Hingham, and Hull (which remained in Suffolk) split off and became Norfolk County. Hingham and Hull would leave Suffolk County and join Plymouth County in 1803. Revere was set off from Chelsea and incorporated in 1846 and Winthrop was set off from Revere and incorporated in 1852. In the late 19th century and early 20th century, Boston annexed several adjacent cities and towns including Hyde Park, Roxbury, West Roxbury, and Dorchester from Norfolk County and Charlestown and Brighton from Middlesex County, resulting in an enlargement of Suffolk County.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 120 square miles (310 km2), of which 58 square miles (150 km2) is land and 62 square miles (160 km2) (52%) is water. It is the second-smallest county in Massachusetts by land area and smallest by total area.

We found old newspapers underneath an old floorboard in a closet on the first floor or the house. We seem to have about 3 newspapers dating around May 11, 1956. I fell in love with section from the Daily Evening called, "Book for Brides and The Young Homemaker." There are all kinds of funny articles on etiquette, bras, singer sewing machines, and pretty much ways to please your husband. Scary! Fun to poke through and read. To check out more shots I took check out my flickr page here.


Wellsford Dental | CEREC CROWNS & VENEERS - ALL DONE IN ONE VISIT!
Technology has changed our everyday lives; smart phones, smart watches, tablets and self-driving cars are becoming the norm. Cutting-edge innovations in dentistry requires less time in the dental chair, decreases patient discomfort and creates very satisfying results for you.
Our single-visit solution, CEREC®, allows us to quickly restore damaged teeth with natural-coloured ceramic fillings, crowns, veneers and bridges, producing excellent care while saving patients time and money. At Wellsford Dental our team of highly experienced dentists have undergone extensive training in CEREC dentistry to bring you the most advanced piece of dental technology available to you today.
Before you get started, your dentist will determine if CEREC® is right for you. Depending on how much healthy tooth structure you have remaining, it may be a simple filling or you may need a crown. After reviewing your options, the dentist will prepare your tooth for restoration by removing decay and weakened tooth tissue.
In order to make the desired restoration, a 3-dimensional image of the tooth that needs to be restored must be created from a digital camera scan of the tooth. This three-dimensional image will be used to create the restoration without the need to take a messy impression. This means no horrible tasting impression material for you to gag on.
The CEREC® software converts your dental impression into a 3-dimensional virtual model. Your dentist uses this information to design your dental crown. Since the software aids the dentist during the design process, the restoration design is more accurate and precise than when the traditional method of designing a crown is done. In a matter of minutes, the design is finalized and sent to the in house CAD/CAM milling unit to be fabricated. The crown is crafted out of a ceramic (porcelain) block that matches the shade of the patient's teeth. Crown fabrication is done inside the dental office and takes no more than 20 minutes to complete. Before you know it, your crown is done and ready to be fitted and bonded over your tooth. You can even watch the crown being milled in the CAD/CAM milling unit at our office.
Your dentist will make final revisions to the crown should they be necessary. Once the right fit is achieved, your dentist will proceed with the bonding process. The crown is bonded over the tooth, and then polished to perfection. The dentist will make sure that the crown looks great in your mouth. Your tooth is restored all in the single appointment. There's no need to wear temporaries or schedule another office visit for additional dental work. You basically come out of the dental practice with your dental crown in place, looking great and restored back to good health.
CEREC or Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics is an innovative process. When you chose CEREC you have the most Innovative piece of technology utilizing German engineered CAD/CAM technology and milling to restore an aesthetically designed crown/veneer for you. When you need beautifully designed teeth restored in your mouth, consider visiting us at Wellsford Dental and work with our dentist specialising in CEREC.
Get back your smile and natural looking teeth, all within a single visit!
This process uses computer aided drawing software and three dimensional photography to help produce the porcelain restorations. This simplified approach prevents the patient from having to undergo multiple visits to the office. Instead, CEREC allows a convenient visit to your dentist in Wellsford and restore your smile quickly. CEREC has three decades of clinical research and documentation to support its technology, and restorations completed with CEREC have been proven to be very precise, safe and effective.
WHY CHOOSE CEREC ONE VISIT CROWNS OVER TRADITIONAL CROWNS?
CEREC offers natural-looking crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays that are compatible with tissue in the mouth, anti-abrasive and plaque-resistant. The days of temporaries, messy impressions and waiting days for the lab to return the restoration are history. Cerec offers an easy option for crowning a tooth in one day, in just one visit.

CEREC utilizes materials that have a similar composition as your teeth. This allows them to function closely to natural teeth. This allows your teeth to evenly contract at an equal rate when consuming foods and drinks of different temperatures.
Traditional crowns are generally made of porcelain fused to metal, whereas CEREC crowns are made of porcelain (and a 100% metal free) which resembles and functions very closely to your natural teeth.
A brand new smile the same day. Often in as little as 1 hour.

What does "same-day" crowns refer to?
In the past, or in offices where CEREC is not used, if a patient needed a crown (a cap over a problem tooth) or a partial crown, it took at least two visits separated by two weeks to fix. The first visit took 1 ½ hours to shape the tooth and take a gooey impression that was then sent to an external laboratory for preparing the crown. The patient will require a temporary crown until the final crown is ready to be fitted, usually a two week wait. The second visit was another hour to remove the temporary, clean things up, and glue the restoration onto the tooth. At Wellsford Dental, we use CEREC to take a digital impression with a camera wand and then design, fabricate and install the restoration in one appointment. No second appointment, no temporaries, no sticky impressions … done!
How long does each part of the procedure take?
Are CERECs more expensive than crowns and veneers?
CEREC reconstructions are typically a little less expensive than conventional restorations. Huge time savings are made as everything is done in one visit, with no need to make separate appointments and wait for your new tooth.
Will the new tooth match the colour of my existing teeth?
Your new tooth can exactly match your existing teeth, we have various colour grades of ceramic to choose from. The ceramic material enables light to pass through it, in a similar way to your natural teeth. Your new tooth will look perfectly natural.
Is this new technology or is tried and tested?
CEREC was developed by Dr Werner Moermann and Dr Markus Brandistini in 1985 at the University of Zürich in Switzerland. Since this time CEREC has undergone continuous technical and clinical developments. CEREC is one of the most advanced products in the world of dentistry with over six million restorations worldwide. Worldwide, a CEREC restoration is placed every 20 seconds, and patients love the ease and aesthetic perfection of CEREC made crowns.
Do many dentists offer CEREC?
We are very proud to be the only practice offering the Cerec Omnicam to mill a same day crown in the North Auckland area and one among a growing number of dentists in New Zealand offering this advanced technology.
What training does the dentist have to carry out this procedure?
Our dentists have been extensively trained to create aesthetically perfect restorations using CEREC. Training is conducted at Auckland by certified Sirona CEREC experts. Continuing education is held in Sydney at the Sirona Centre for Dentistry, Australia. The Sirona Centre for Dentistry is a dental technology training and education centre, comprising a 20 station simulation clinic for hands-on training with four fully functional surgeries, digital dental laboratory, 2D/3D X-ray and more, all taking training and education to another level. Ongoing active networking through the growing NZ CEREC dental community also greatly contributes to dentist's knowledge and expertise.
Why should I care if my dentist uses CEREC digital technology?
Embracing digital technology causes an office to operate with its eyes wide open to the ongoing possibilities of better overall dental care at a greater value to patients. The CEREC dentist is the diagnostician, surgeon and lab. In other words, "the buck stops here", as the saying goes. The CEREC dentist knows the intimate details of the dental situation start-to-finish and has infinite flexibility in producing an excellent result and in turn you get an aesthetically perfect crown individually designed and crafted for you.
Is the material used for restorations made in your office the same as from a good lab?
Yes, the good dental labs in New Zealand and our milling unit use the same exact materials. The material of choice these days is Ivoclar's Emax, GC Cerasmart and Enamic by Vita; strong, beautiful, accurate, great bonding strength and biologically healthy! Dozens of different materials are available for different applications depending on the individual requirements.
How can using CEREC be healthier for me?
The answer lies in the concept of "minimally invasive". When a dentist is able to fabricate a restoration same-day and with infinite choices for the design of the restoration, the result is the preservation of natural tooth structure and an optimum bond of the restoration to the tooth. Gone are the days of every cavity or replaced filling turning into a full coverage crown. Instead, partial or minimal coverage crowns are the norm.
What else is CEREC digital technology used for?
CEREC digital technology allows us to copy a patient's existing teeth with amazing accuracy and precision. One application of this is when a patient presents with a tooth that feels and looks great but is decayed or fractured. This can be surprisingly complicated under some circumstances such as, fixing one single front tooth perfectly, managing a super sensitive bite, fixing a tooth under a partial denture, maintaining a patient who clenches and grinds heavily, helping an Alzheimer/dementia/memory loss patient who needs rapid care with perfect results. By digitally copying all or just what we like about a tooth, we can then fabricate a restoration nearly identical to the original tooth. This is impossible without digital copying using CEREC and has proven to be perhaps the biggest advantage that patients immediately recognize. With CEREC technology, we are also able to create implant crowns, dental bridges, veneers and fillings.
Who makes CEREC and where can I learn more?
CEREC is made by Sirona. You can learn more on their website.


Social media users across the UK have been plunged into panic after Facebook and Instagram crashed earlier this afternoon.
Problems have been reported with both networking sites and apps across parts of the UK, but it's users in the south and south east of the country that are said to be experiencing the most problems.
Error messages are being displayed on both sites for those attempting to use them.
But it's still not clear what's caused the glitch or how long the sites will remain out of action.
