You may think that your current dentist can meet all your cosmetic dental needs, but do you really know for sure? Have you ever considered if he's even qualified to provide you effective cosmetic dentistry?
The next time you want a whiter smile or fix cosmetic imperfections, consider asking your cosmetic dentist in Orange Park about these key factors. They can make a big difference in the outcome of your treatment, and effectively your new smile.
Training and Education
While it's possible to earn additional training and certificates for other areas of dentistry, including orthodontics, periodontics, and endodontics to name a few, cosmetic dentistry doesn't have that same reputation. The closest a dentist can get to specializing in cosmetic dentistry is through a field known as prosthodontics. This field focuses on the design, manufacture, and fitting of artificial replacements for teeth or other parts of the mouth.
If you plan on getting porcelain veneers placed, ask your dentist if they have any training in this field. They'll be more than happy to tell you about the classes or post-graduate education they took to effectively place restorations like veneers. If they consider themselves a prosthodontist, you're far more likely to get a better outcome when it comes to cosmetic treatments that use artificial teeth to enhance your smile.
Reviews and Previous Patient Cases
Another great way to confirm a dentist's cosmetic abilities is to peruse the reviews left by previous or current patients. These are most often found on the practice's Google page and can be easily filtered to show their best and worst reviews. Make sure to look specifically for experiences that requested the dentist's cosmetic treatments and not simply routine exams or cleanings.
You can also largely benefit from asking your dentist to show previous patient cases. Think of this as a portfolio to help give you a better expectation for your own treatment. If the dentist is confident in their abilities, they should have no issue showing you their previous work.
Available Services and Level of Care
You can learn a lot about their practice simply by viewing the services they offer on their website. Just like how a family dentist should have many treatments for kids, a cosmetic dentist should have many options for enhancing your smile. If your dentist claims to specialize in cosmetics, but only offers teeth whitening and dental bonding, what does that say about their range of expertise?
If you get the chance to visit, ask them which technologies they offer to enhance your smile. For example, ask if they offer multiple treatments to solve the same problem. By being proficient enough to offer multiple services, your dentist proves he's willing to take the initiative to meet patient needs.
Not sure if your prosthodontist in Orange Park is the person for the job? Schedule a consultation with him to learn more!

Dr. Matthew Nawrocki earned his DMD degree from the University of Florida College of Dentistry.

by Sharman J. Monroe
Recently, I attended a business conference where a gentleman was recognized for an outstanding achievement. He spoke of the positive effect the company has had on his life, how it has changed him into a better man and how he, consequently, has positively affected the lives of thousands of people throughout the world. During his speech he said he was sold out for the company. Someone behind me immediately remarked "You need to be sold out for God." For some reason I was immediately offended. I thought about the remark all night and wondered what does being "sold out for God" really mean.
Being sold out means being "100%" devoted to something; it means making something a priority in your life. Jesus taught us to make God a priority in our lives: "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you" Matthew 6:33 (NKJV).
Of course, the obvious ways to be "sold out for God" are tithing, going to church, working in the church, doing missionary work, teaching Bible study, being a pastor, minister, deacon or elder, studying the Word, being part of the music ministry, using your spiritual gifts and doing a myriad of other church or religious activities. But, are church or religious activities the only ways or things you can do to be "sold out for God"? I mean, we do everyday non-religious activities also such a working at a job or running a business, driving kids to school, washing the car, cutting the grass, etc. Do these activities fall into the "sold out for God" category or are they useless time fillers and time wasters?
To find an answer I went back to the beginning. God created everything in this world and gave everything a purpose (Genesis 1). Everything's main purpose, including mankind, is to bring glory and honor to God, i.e., be sold out for God. Second Timothy 1:9 says:
[God] has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began.
We are basically dirt which we return to when we die. But God has given us intellect, talents, skills and abilities with which we can carry out our purpose in the world. Romans 12:4,6 (NKJV) declares:
For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
And 1 Corinthians 12:4-5 (NJKV) says:
There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.
Now the words "minister" and "ministries" were stumbling blocks for me because to me a minister was someone preaching and teaching God's Word, clearly a "sold out for God" activity. Then I studied the above scriptures and found that, according to Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, the word "minister" in the above verses comes from the Greek word "diakonia" which means service. Okay, anybody can do that!
I studied further in the Bible and found these scriptures:
Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31
And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Colossians 3:17
God expects us to use our talents, skills and abilities in a godly manner to minister to one another and bring glory to Him. In other words, God wants you to sell out your talents, skills and abilities to Him. So it isn't the activity that determines whether you are "sold out for God" but your motive in doing the activity. Are you doing an activity for the Lord or are you doing it for men? (Colossians 3:23-24).
We need to move away from separating church work from our everyday work and see all our activity as work done for God, as work we do to show we are "sold out to God". In the Bible, Joseph was an excellent government official and administrator (Genesis 41:37-45), as were David (1 Samuel 16:1-13; 2 Samuel 2:1-4; 8:15-18) and Daniel (Daniel 2:46-49; 6:1-3). Deborah was a well-respected judge (Judges 4). While doing their everyday non-religious activities or work, these people were ministers to others. They were "sold out to God" and God was glorified.
Learning this was a great relief to me. In the past, I was a Mom doing Mom and housekeeping stuff, a PTA volunteer, a Girl and Boy Scout volunteer and a judge practicing law. Today, I'm a grandmom doing grandmom stuff and a business owner. (I'm taking writer out of the equation for this discussion because I see that through my writing I am a minister even by old my definition!) I used to worry, however, that when I used my skills and talents to do non-church related things, I didn't glorify God. I used to struggle with whether using my talents and abilities to be a business owner is something that glorifies God because owning a business is usually associated with greed, self-promotion, ruthlessness, and using people, some very un-godly things.
Now I know better and I have found people who understand that being "sold out for God" doesn't mean just doing church work. Two dynamic ladies, Ministers Karen Carey and Brenda Wells recently started a ministry for women called Business Women in the World (www.bwitw.com/). Their tagline is "Women who win with the Word". Each month, the ministers issue a newsletter full of encouragement and testimony "to empower women who are in the work place, operating a business, running a home, pursuing academic aspirations or any other type of dreams." You can go to Facebook and Like their Page to get daily messages and interact with them. (www.facebook.com/BusinessWomenInTheWord). Through their teaching and encouragement, I learned I do glorify God using my talents and skills to be a godly business owner.
God is in control of all things all the time. He has a good plan for you (Jeremiah 29:11). It would be foolish to think His plan covers only your life on Sunday and your church activities. He put you where you are now whether it is in the workplace or in the home, and He put you there to use your talents and skills to glorify Him. So if working with numbers is easy for you, excel at it! People like me desperately need you. If you love working with children, own it! Parents want their children around people who cherish them. If you are an awesome administrator and organizer, work it! So many of us need to be organized. If you can motivate and encourage people to reach their goals, go for it! People need to realize their God-given dreams. If you work as a doctor, lawyer, secretary, construction worker, engineer, stay-at-home parent, corporate CEO or CTO, or work in any of the myriad of jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities available today, don't be shy! God gave you the abilities and skills to do that job or run that business so you can minister to people and glorify Him.
Be a light to the world. Let talents and skills shine daily, and use them in a godly manner. Be "sold out for God" no matter what you do!
Question for Comment: How are you "sold out for God"?

D1 Athlete Bryanna Phelan Talks Collegiate Sports and More, Eat by Color! So I sat down with one of our FitWorkz staff Bryanna Phelan. Bry runs our Sports Performance program for our athletes. Bry talks about life as an athlete, training, and more. Watch the video.
After the video Bry sent the following thoughts. Athletes and parents will find the information below useful. Please read and share.
"This is my experience. Not that all athletes go through the same thing. However, those that are competitive and want to play collegiately, may experience the same things.
– Competitive travel organizations, or at least the one I was in, push for the athletes to start thinking about college at a young age. By 14U it becomes a serious conversation.
-For us it was, what division do you want to play in? how far from home? big or small school?
-Then player profiles are created so that you can start promoting yourself as an athlete to the potential schools that you may want to play for.
-That means that 13 year olds are now planning and thinking about their life after they are 18. Essentially you are telling an 8th grader to know what career path they want to take when they are 18 and older.
-The focus is on the school you want to play for. What coaching staff you want to play for. You become the mascot, i.e a "huskie" an "eagle." You represent that school, and stand by what it believes in.
-Then the focus on scholarship becomes an issue. Can you go where you want to go with the coaching staff you want to play for AND get money for it? Everyone knows grades are important, and my grades were never an issue, but preparing for a future beyond playing softball at NIU was never really enforced.
-Once you get your scholarship, or make the decision to play somewhere the talk about choosing a major becomes more important. Sure I went in as a Nursing major, but I changed my major twice after that because I realized I no longer want to be a "nurse"
-Don't forget that while it is okay to change your major, you are also a student athlete. That means that you have certain percentages of your degree complete each semester so that you are eligible to play. That means time is not quite on your side if you are undecided.
-For me, I chose to try out business. After 3 semesters, and a quickly declining GPA, I had to make another major decision. At this point, I was going into my sophomore season and had minimal time to consider where I saw myself after college. I chose Kinesiology because I knew that it was a field that interested me and I also had to have enough of the academics completed so that I was eligible to play.
-Life is always laid out for you when you're an athlete, everything is scheduled. Practices, games, meetings, lifting, everything. It's all you really know. When that schedule is gone, the 'real world' is all that's left. Something we never really had time to experience.
-Being a collegiate athlete is an excellent decision, but there should be more focus on life after, and career fields. Granted, no one really knows what they want to do for the rest of their life, but finding a general interest can help immensely.
-High school is a great time to feel out jobs/careers and shadow/research/talk to people who may be in the field you like
These are just some of the things that mull around in my mind months after graduating. only my opinions and life experiences. not to be taken as the end all be all every athlete experiences this sort of thing. "

Sooo, does anyone else have a grueling case of the Mondays (and, yes, I'm fully aware that it is 11pm on a Tuesday)?
Because I sure do.
Yeah, I'm definitely still in weekend mode and am currently nowhere near ready to adult this week, which is why I thought I'd reminisce a bit with you and throw down some much needed weekend vibes.
+ + +
Mmkay, so, flashback to Saturday: Austin and I started off our rather productive weekend with a little day date to the LA Kings vs Anaheim Ducks hockey game at Staples Center in Downtown LA.
Now, one crucial detail to note here is that Austin is an Orange County boy, so naturally he's a full-fledged Yucks – I mean Ducks – fan, whereas I am SO not.
To put that "SO not" into perspective, had I been a boy, my mega Kings fan father was actually going to name me after Hockey Hall of Famer, and long time LA King, Luc Robitaille. So, needless to say, my fan blood runs deep and we definitely had a little healthy competition goin' on between us.
Luckily for Austin, my Kings trumped the Ducks 4-1.
I say "luckily for Austin" because, well, I'm a rather sore loser (ask those who have ever endured a USC loss in my presence) and anyone who avoids that shit storm is the real winner overall.
Yes, I know it's an issue and I'm working on it.
Anyways, I'm not sure if I was just overly hyped from the win or what, but as we were driving home from the game, I could see the high-riseses fading into the rearview and realized I just hadn't gotten my LA fix for the weekend.
The second we got home, I was already on my phone looking up breakfast/brunch spots in West Hollywood that I could drag Austin to on Sunday, and, boy, did I find a winner.
+ + +
We started our Sunday Funday off with breakfast at Joan's On Third.
Oh my, guys, this place is a must if you're in the area.
This trendy eatery is part deli, gourmet marketplace, coffee shop, and bakery that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Immediately when you walk into Joan's you'll be taken aback by the sophisticated décor and welcoming vibes.
The chic café features various wooden communal tables and marble countertops where you can dine with friends and other guests.
Not only is the layout and design of this place just the cutest, but the food is also amaze.
Okay, so I'm aware this is basic AF, but of course I ordered the avocado toast, and let me tell ya, it did not disappoint.
Talk about a generous helping of avo (which was actually more like a tangy guac). I mean, they really pile it on that whole wheat toast like it's going out of style. I also added the fried egg on top, which I'd highly recommend, and shared a side of fresh fruit, hash browns, and crispy bacon with my luhva boy.
Austin ordered the fried egg sandwich as his main dish, which was basically the epitome of mouth-watering goodness and loaded with an over easy egg, Canadian bacon, jack cheese, arugula, and garlic aioli on a toasty brioche bun.
Actually drooling just thinking about this breakfast, and cannot wait to go back to try out some lunch and dinner items.
One of my favorite details about Joan's is its location. If you haven't been to/spent much time in this part of LA, 3rd Street is just a quick jaunt from the iconic Melrose Place, which meant not only could I show Austin around one of the most well-known areas of LA, but I could also burn off my breakfast calories doing what I do best – shopping.
And that is exactly what we did.
After making our way over to Melrose, we stumbled upon the cutest little farmers market, where I immediately proceeded to spend too much dinero, and wandered into some of my favorite shops, including Alfred Coffee & Kitchen.
Now, some of you may be thinking "what the hell is Alfred"? Trust, even if you aren't familiar with the brand, you've definitely been associated with the Alfred trademark in some way, shape, or form.
Let me help jog your memory – this is the coffee shop that coined the ubiquitous phrase "But first, coffee," turning it into Rule #1 in basic betch handbooks around the world.
And for that, Alfred, we thank you.
But really, next time you're in LA, Hollywood, or Studio City, be sure to check out one of Alfred's six locations and soak up all the modish goodness while simultaneously feeding your caffeine addiction. You will not be disappointed.
Anyways, enough coffee chit chat, let's get back to our WeHo tour.
After Alfred, Austin and I made our way over to the flipside of Melrose Ave.
However, after taking a single glance at the picturesque beauty of the Restoration Hardware Gallery, we didn't make it too far.
You guys, photos don't even do this store justice.
Had there not been a sign on the front of the building, I would have thought this was a high-end venue or lounge, not a furniture store.
From the outside, the store looks like this grand oasis and instantly sucks you in to its open floor plan. Before you know it, you're wandering through three stories (including a luscious, green rooftop garden filled with gorgeous cabanas and patio furnishings) of the most beautiful home décor you've ever seen and are ready to bust out your wallet and make it rain on every armoire and sofa in the joint (in your dream$, that i$).
Ugh, if only.
Side note: Many of you probably don't know that Austin loves to build things, and is quite an exceptional carpenter and craftsman. Blame it all on his construction roots, but the boy has serious talent, and has created some amazing pieces, many of which were inspired by Restoration Hardware furniture. So, needless to say, this store struck both of our fancies from the get-go.
We even had a mini photoshoot on the stunning public rooftop garden/park that overlooks the neighborhood.
Yes, you heard right, the rooftop is public. During store hours, guests can enjoy the serenity of this outdoor space at their leisure and take in the beauty of the surrounding city. The garden even has a Ping-Pong table along with its various fire pits and abundance of casual seating.
Now, that is what I call a unique retail experience.
And that's just the roof, don't even get me started on the rest of the gallery, or, better yet, the elevator!
But, that's a tale for another time.
Once we finished gawking at the glory of RH, we planned to make our way down to the Arts District and check out Angel City Brewery, which I have been dying to try (plus, there's no better way to con Austin into a day of shopping in LA than bribing him with beer).
Howeverrrr, after spending 20 minutes looking for parking, we finally walked up to the bouncer only for me to realize that I left my ID in my other purse, leaving us pretty much up shit's creek. Superb, I know. (Sorry Aust).
But, don't worry, I will make it back to Angel City, and I will tell you all about it…eventually.
Oh well. It all worked out in the end because we decided to console ourselves with some of the most decadent gourmet desserts I have ever tasted from The Pie Hole, located right down the block from the Angel City Brewery.
We picked up a few slices to go (the Earl Grey and Mexican Chocolate pies are to die for) and decided our time in LA was up.
Luckily, we returned home to shove our pie holes with The Pie Hole just in time to watch Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway 'Steve Harvey' themselves into Oscar history. Classic mix-up.
All in all, I have zero complaints about our weekend adventures, aside from the fact that it all went by way too fast.
Well, I hope you all enjoyed following me around LA. We should do it again some time, eh?
Until then…
Nine-to-fiver by day, blogger by night, and avid tea spiller always. Join me here on LS as I share my tips, tricks, travels, and personal style inspo.

|UPcycled journal with original covers (1930s), page wraps with pockets and an eclectic mix of papers
|View of the stitching - over tapes - on the spine
In the meantime, I've managed to finish this book and also put it (and some other artwork) onto eBay, so fingers crossed someone will love it and give it a new home.
|There's an eclectic mix of papers: vintage text in English and French, some vintage sheet music, 1940s street maps of London, plus plain papers (Daler Rowney heavyweight acid free cartridge paper)
I adore making books, and have around 7 journals already on the go - so some HAVE to go for sale as there's only so much room in our place.
|The signature wraps are quite stiff, a very heavyweight flecked grey - almost a card - with a half circle punched out to give access to a pocket, and tabs at the back, to make the sections easy to find.
I've been massively decluttering, redecorating and restyling, so lots of things are going - including a little crystal chandelier!
|I've also turned up the bottoms of some of the longer pages to make more pocket sections. These can be slit if you don't want them, or pasted for strength, have envelopes tipped in - lots of opportunities for personalisation!
Meantime, a little gentle stitching of journals has provided rest and relaxation - and such a nice change from being covered with eggshell paint!
|This is a sweet little book, which I've really enjoyed making, and I hope it inspires some great artwork
Hope you like it!

The Palestinian Protest Organized and Supported for Palestinians by Palestinians - March 15
Gaza Youth Breaks Out! calls for demonstrations in Gaza and the West Bank; encourages solidarity events world-wide in front of Palestinian embassies in coordination with Palestinian communities abroad.
By: Aishah Schwartz
GYBO first made headlines last year when they published an impassioned manifesto, endorsed by over 20,000 Gaza youth, expressing frustration with life and politics born of Hamas's violent crackdowns on 'western decadence', the destruction wreaked by Israel's attacks and the political games played by Fatah and the UN.
Manifesto 2.0, now available at http://gazaybo.wordpress.com, attempts to clear the air regarding objections to what some deemed as 'harsh' language in the original.
As stated in the updated manifesto, "We were harsh, true. We were angry, and still are. The order in which the 'parties' were cited was not intended and we are conscious that it brought much confusion in people's minds. However, to those reproaching us – because we denounced the corruption of our political leaders – of insulting the thousands who voted for Hamas in 2006 [including youth], of insulting the memories of the martyrs of the Resistance groups affiliated to the different Palestinian factions who shed their blood for us in many occasions, starting with Operation Cast Lead, we want to reply, 'don't insult the Palestinian people's right to criticize its politicians.'
"Cast Lead wasn't a war; Cast Lead was a massacre, a slaughter, anything but a war. And during that massacre, we, the people of Gaza, paid from our blood too. Every single Palestinian sacrificed something, someone; it affected us all, from the youngest to the oldest, not only the Resistance. Bombs didn't make much difference. We never intended to reject the Resistance, and we're going to repeat it again; we will NEVER reject those who fight for us, for our Palestine, and it was NOT the case in our previous manifesto.
Manifesto 2.0 goes on to state, "Yes we voted for Hamas government. We all did. We were tired of Fatah's government corruption, [we] wanted a change and hoped Hamas would be that change. That [is] PRECISELY [what] gives us the right to shout our anger at them, because they are responsible [for] us, responsible of our well-being, our security. Fatah in the West Bank arrests Hamas affiliates, Hamas in Gaza arrests Fatah affiliates, while everywhere in Palestine you can find family members from different factions living united. Yes we denounce our politicians – [note those] words; POLITICIANS – because their mutual hatred divided them, even during the commemoration of the first anniversary of [the] Cast Lead massacre, while a crowd of Palestinians from all factions stood united by martyrdom, grief, and love for Palestine."
In conclusion, the updated manifesto adds, "We want three things. We want to be free. We want to be able to live a normal life. We want peace. Is that too much to ask? We are a peace movement of young people in Gaza and supporters elsewhere that will not rest until the truth about Gaza and Palestine is known by everybody in this whole world and in such a degree that no more silent consent or loud indifference will be accepted. And if we fail, other groups will take our place, until our voice can't be ignored anymore."
Details of the March 15 event, published and coordinated in English and Arabic language Facebook pages titled, "End the Division" or "Palestinians United", indicate that it is already supported by nearly 10,000; another coordinating page, primarily in Arabic, titled, "Palestinian"
Demonstrations have been organized to begin at 11:30 AM on Tuesday, March 15 and are stated to 'continue until the achievement of all goals'.
Gathering places, to date, include: Gaza - the Unknown Soldier Square; Ramallah - Manara Square; Tulkarm - Roundabout Gamal Abdel Nasser; Jenin - complex of garages near the old Cinema Jenin; Hebron - in front of the governor's office; Bethlehem - Church of the Nativity Square Nablus: Martyrs Square; Jordan and Lebanon: to be announced.
GYBO March 15 demonstration organizers are also calling for solidarity events world-wide in front of Palestinian embassies in coordination with the Palestinian communities abroad.
As stated on GYBO's 'End the Division' Facebook page, "On behalf of the Palestinian Arab people, on the blood of the martyrs, widows and bereaved, orphans and thousands of prisoners in Israeli jails and all our people in the Palestinian Diaspora, we call on all the Palestinian factions to unite under the banner of Palestine, in order to reform the political system in Palestine, based on the interests and aspirations of the Palestinian people in the homeland and the Diaspora."
With the resignation of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, it has been described as the hope of Egyptian youth that, Gaza will feel the effects of their new-found freedom because the siege of Gaza will end and the kinship between the people of Egypt and Palestine will be restored.
Although a complete overhaul of Rafah border restrictions remains to be achieved, an easement was seen in the period from June 2007 until 25 January when the border closed again for three weeks during the Egyptian Revolution. This past week the Egyptian Armed Forces began what many envision as the beginning of a series in border crossing improvements when Palestinians stranded in Egypt during the revolution were allowed to return. Subsequently, on 22 February, the border opened for two-way traffic and fees waived for those unable to pay.
Currently the Egyptian Armed Forces is receiving thousands of expatriates and refugees of the Libyan revolution. Al-Jazeera reports that there are an estimated one million Egyptians currently residing and working in Libya. Virtually every tourism bus in Egypt is lined up waiting to receive evacuees at the Salum border who have traveled through days of horror as the volatile crisis in Libya continues to escalate.
Additionally, news agencies reported earlier on Thursday, that smugglers shot and killed an Egyptian policeman at the Rafah border and Israeli Defense Forces struck against a number of alleged terrorists driving a vehicle in the city of Rafah. According to Palestinian sources area residents reported hearing four separate explosions leaving one dead and three injured; four residents - two adults and two children - were treated for shock.
Suffice it to say, patience and continued support of the efforts of the Egyptian Armed Forces to establish stability and the security of not only Egyptians, but Palestinians and Libyans as well, is crucial in this time.

A new season of NHL hockey is upon us and a familiar conundrum is facing the Anaheim Ducks. Does this team have the top-end forward talent to be an elite team?
The Ducks have consistently been a good team, having won the Pacific Division title in five of the last six years and ended last season with 101 points, despite injuries to key players. They're still missing that extra gear, though, that could send them to the Stanley Cup Final. Their forward group has plenty of talent, so who's lagging behind and who needs to step up?
Ducks That Need to Step Up
Corey Perry
Corey Perry's shortcomings have been discussed ad nauseam this summer. The pace of the game is too fast for him and he's well past his 50-goal season. That being said, Perry is a proud competitor and his poor showing last season can't be sitting calmly in his mind.
Ryan Getzlaf recently talked to Eric Stephens of The Athletic and broached the topic of the quickening pace of the NHL. "Playing fast doesn't mean you have to skate fast. It means you move the puck quickly…The speed of the game is based on you moving the puck," (from 'Q&A with Ryan Getzlaf, Part I: On his charity golf tournament, playing fast, Kesler's health and Perry's production' The AthleticNHL – 9/7/18).
What Getzlaf says is true. Perry needs to move the puck quickly rather than think he can hold onto it for any length of time. Although his goal totals have gone down, his assists have remained fairly consistent. Last season he produced assists at a rate of 1.5 assists per 60 minutes (A/60) and produced primary assists at a rate of 1.0 per 60 minutes. The only Ducks player who produced more assists per 60 minutes last season was Getzlaf at a rate of 2.5 A/60.
Perry can still be effective at the NHL level but his goal production isn't there anymore. He'll have to adjust his game in a way that compliments the game's quickening pace. Otherwise he'll end up being another washed up and overpaid star that a team might be looking to do away with.
Jakob Silfverberg
Silfverberg has always been a strong 200-foot player, but his offensive game leaves something to be desired. He is skilled and has a wicked wrist shot but when he's in the offensive zone, he cycles the puck with Andrew Cogliano and Ryan Kesler rather than using his shot.
There's something to be said for keeping the puck away from the opponent's top talent, but even that wasn't the case last season as he had a down year possessing the puck as well. Silfverberg finished with a Corsi percentage of 48.9%, the first time in his career he was below 50%.
Forty points for a second-line forward isn't going to cut it in today's NHL. The Ducks' second line needs to drive the offense more. Silfverberg also lagged in shootouts last season, something he had excelled at in previous seasons, with zero goals in five attempts. He is a strong player and key to the team's forward depth, but he needs to play better than he did last season.
Nick Ritchie
This could be a make-or-break year for the power forward. He hasn't lived up to the hype of a 10th-overall draft pick (2014), but he has all the tools to be a solid NHL player. At 6-foot-2 and 230 pounds, Ritchie has the frame for the league. He is also a strong skater for his size and has an underutilized wrist shot. The flip side is that he takes undisciplined penalties and still hasn't scored more than 30 points in a season since he entered the league in 2015-16.
At 22-years old, he's young and his best years are in front of him. With Ducks' forward core getting older, it's a prime year for Ritchie to step up and take the reins offensively. Whether that happens or not is up to him. Then again, his performance also depends on coming to an agreement with management on a new contract. Zach Stava wrote about Nick Ritchie and the deal he is likely to sign with the club as an RFA currently without a contract.
Rookies That Could Impact the Team
The Ducks have a decent prospect pool but the forward prospects have yet to stand out and find a place at the NHL level. Which of these rookies is likely to step up and make an impact with the Ducks this season?
Sam Steel
Steel has been among the Ducks' best prospects for the last few years now. He showed up for the Canadian Junior team and has had a stellar WHL career for the Regina Pats. He finished his WHL career with an MVP trophy in the Memorial Cup. Unfortunately, his Pats lost the trophy to Acadie-Bathurst in the finals.
Steel has the playmaking ability and the hockey IQ to compete in the NHL. The biggest lingering question is whether he has the size for it. He stands at 5-foot-11 and 185 pounds and could get pushed around until he bulks up.
Troy Terry
Terry is coming off a very successful career at the University of Denver where he ended as a point-per-game player and has done well for the US teams in international competition (World Junior and the Olympics). He's a well-seasoned hockey player and looks ready to make the jump, however, like Steel, he has a slight frame for the NHL game. In his two games with the Ducks last season, his skill was evident but he was easily pushed off the puck. He is set up well to be an impact player in the NHL, but whether he lives up to that hype or not is in his hands now.
Isac Lundestrom
Lundestrom was drafted only this summer, but he made an impact in the rookie showcase in Las Vegas where he scored three goals in two games, leaving a marked impression on the Ducks organization. He's penciled in to return to Lulea HF of the SHL for the season, but if Lundestrom can play well in the preseason, he may force general manager Bob Murray's hand and get a chance at the NHL.
There's no doubt that the Ducks playoff window is closing quickly. Whether it slams shut or remains ajar will depend on the ability of these forwards to play like a playoff team.
Born and raised in Anaheim, and a Ducks fan for about that long.

With Brexit being a continued topic in the United Kingdom and throughout Europe. British national's find it extremely difficult to comprehend why the EU Regulations are much more-simpler to bring in their family members to the UK.
As a British national, to apply for your partner you are required to show earnings of £18,600, and more if you have dependent children applying too.
Whereas an EU national only needs to demonstrate they are either seeking work in the UK or are employed on minimum wage to apply for their partner and dependent children.
It has continuously been challenged that British nationals have far less rights when applying rather then others. Many activists have urged the Home Office to relook at the decision, and in 2018 a petition was raised to Parliament for the Home Secretary at the time to look at the matter.
The financial threshold being introduced in 2012, the Home Office announced in August 2018 – Third Party support, in which case based upon discretion certain cases where an applicant can be sponsored by someone else other then their British partner. This is still under scrutiny as many cases applied, case workers did not exercise discretion.
The Conversation of British Nationals and the EU
As you probably can guess, EU law looks at the legal elements of the European Union. The EU is capable of creating rights which can be enforced by citizens of EU member states.

Canon Global Shutter Sensor Paper
"CISs with GS function have generally been inferior to the rolling shutter (RS) CIS in performance, because they have more components. This problem is remarkable in small pixel pitch. The newly developed 3.4 µm pitch GS CIS solves this problem by using multiple accumulation shutter technology and the gentle slope light guide structure. As a result, the developed GS pixel achieves 1.8 e− temporal noise and 16,200 e− full well capacity with charge domain memory in 120 fps operation. The sensitivity and parasitic light sensitivity are 28,000 e−/lx·s and −89 dB, respectively. Moreover, the incident light angle dependence of sensitivity and parasitic light sensitivity are improved by the gentle slope light guide structure."
6 comments:
Could this light guide approach be seen as a 'poor man's BSI'? Because it increases the fill factor without going for a more complex processing (as required for BSI).ReplyDelete
As I understand it, BSI would not bring you much advantage because a memory area is needed beside the photo diode. (And the memory area is twice the size of the photo diode.)ReplyDeleteReplies
I assumed, that for BSI with global shutter the memory area would also be placed on the backside (don't know though if that would be possible as I am no expert).Delete
More in general for non-global shutter sensors: I am wondering if the taper could be Canon's building block to achieve similar performance per pixel as BSI but with a simpler process.
If I understand this correct, they do two transfers from the photo diode to the memory area per frame? I think, this is only really useful if the time between the two transfers is half of the desired total exposure time (in contrast to half the frame time - e.g. you could want 1ms exposure time at 60fps). After taking a quick look at the paper, it was not clear to me if this is the case.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 11, 2017 at 10:46 PM
I dont know if it is similar but it sounds at least similar in Sony pregius - they call it 'multi exposure' and there it seems the add charge to a charge domain storage multiple times before readout. I also thought it could act as a 'tuneable grey filter' reducing sensitivity (this is sometimes desired if you have a lot of light, sometimes this is a problem in industrial applications). You might want to expose over 20ms periode but only 100us every 2ms - reducing sensitivity to 5% while maintaining the 20ms that might also "filter" higher frequency vibration.ReplyDeleteReplies
This raises two questions: a) what kind of tricks are theoretically possible with this pixel (e.g. I am not sure if your "grey filter" works as you have to be able to get rid of the charge between the small exposure periods) and b) what is supported by the readout circuits of the respective productsDelete

The method we use for cleaning is hot water extraction, commonly referred to as steam cleaning. Hot, soft water and a specially formulated cleaning solution are injected deep within the carpet fibers. Then, a powerful suction extracts deep-down dirt, allergens, cleaning solution and It's the cleaning method most recommended by carpet manufacturer
A light vacuuming in the traffic areas is recommended but not required. If needed, the crew can pre-vacuum the area to be cleaned. Also, the equipment is vacuuming the entire time we are cleaning.
Typically, an area is a room that is up to 200 square feet (that is 10 x 20) Living room/dining room combos are considered two areas. Any area over 200 square feet but less than 500 square feet is priced as two areas. Non-standard areas (baths, halls, landings, walk-in-closets, etc.) are priced separately from the standard areas, usually at a lesser price. Please know that these room sizes may vary by location.
On average, it will take approximately 20 minutes per room. This time can vary greatly depending on the amount of furniture to be moved, how soiled the carpet is, and any necessary spot removal treatments.
Yes. There is no charge to move furniture. We are professionally trained to move your furniture. After the cleaning is completed, we will return it to its rightful place on protective padding as needed. We do suggest you remove items off of your furniture like electronics, plants, lamps and knick-knacks. We will move most furniture that can be safely moved. There are several items we will not move, including: pianos, electronics, china cabinets, beds, dressers with mirrors, pool tables, etc.
Dry time is affected by humidity, temperature and air flow to the area. It can take anywhere between 8-24 hours for the carpet to completely dry, depending on the aforementioned variables. Using fans in any rooms cleaned and turning your air conditioning or heating system on, depending on the time of year, can help accelerate drying time. Be sure to leave the protective blocks under furniture legs and any paper used with upholstered items in place until the carpet and/or furniture is completely dry to avoid any color transfer. You may walk on your carpet immediately after cleaning, but avoid wearing street shoes, as they may re-soil your carpet. We suggest wearing clean rubber soled shoes. Be especially careful when walking from damp, carpeted areas on to non-carpeted areas to avoid slipping.
Although most spots that are removed from carpet do not reappear, some substances in carpet backing may wick to the surface after cleaning. If this happens, please contact us at 888-888-8888, as soon as possible.
We cannot guarantee that we will remove all spots or stains. There are substances that can permanently discolor the carpet fibers. The age of the carpet and the type of carpet fibers also plays a factor in this. The technician will try to determine if this is the case prior to cleaning but they are not always able to determine this before trying to remove the spots.
As the carpet dries, these bubbles or ripples should start to lay flat again. Once it is dry they should be virtually unnoticeable. This is usually a sign that the carpet was in need of restretching prior to the cleaning. If these ripples do not go away after it is completely dry, please contact us at 888-360-5757 as soon as possible.
We are happy to work with you to correct any situation that may arise. In some cases this can mean spot cleaning specific areas of concern or even completely re-cleaning the area in question. In the end, we're not satisfied until you are.

Welcome to the English, Foreign Languages, and Cultural Studies Department website! We are a dynamic faculty and passionate about our subjects. As scholars, students, and teachers, we strive to be engaged, compassionate, curious learners and to engender the same passion in every student we teach. The critical study of texts, languages, and textual production is vital for our development as critical thinkers, effective communicators, and thoughtful community members. As a department, we offer these interdisciplinary experiences in diverse but complementary areas of study.
Below you will find English degrees and their requirements, certificate programs, advising information, clubs and organizations, study aboard opportunities, and much more. Please let us know how we can assist you on your learning journey.
Undergraduate Degrees
As a field of inquiry, English Studies is the study of texts, both written and spoken. These texts may originate in English culture or any other world culture. Critical analysis of a text leads to the discovery of important perspectives concerning human life and behavior, and methods for applying those ideas to everyday life can then be devised. Understanding this, English Studies as a field of inquiry is useful for the development of skills in reading and writing, critical thinking, and data analysis. These skills and abilities are highly valued in a wide variety of jobs and career fields.
The English Studies Major: Areas of Concentration
Creative Writing
This concentration offers students the chance to take classes dedicated to specific genres of creative writing including poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. Students will be introduced to possibilities for publishing and other careers for creative writers. Students will learn about ways to grow as writers through exploring writing in different genres, forms, and modes, as well as practicing giving and receiving feedback on drafts in progress.
Film Studies
This area studies all types of texts related to the film as a medium of communication. Students will learn to critically analyze a film text for its message and meaning, as well as learn to write specific types of texts, including those designed for professional use, such as screenplays. Opportunities for students to develop and produce their own films are also provided.
Folklife/Southern Culture
The concentration covers texts of all types that focus on the history, culture, and literature of the U.S. South, as well as the study of folklore in the South and other regions of the world. Texts studied in this area include all types created by U.S. Southern and folklore authors, including fairy tales and film. Related: Louisiana Folklife Center.
The study of literature is designed to understand the message and meaning of a text. This concentration studies fiction and non-fiction oral texts employed in TV, theatre, and film, as well as novels, short stories, poems, and other written genres designed for reading. Texts can be studied individually or as a group, and also comparatively, using texts from two or more genres, cultures or languages.
Professional Writing
This area is designed to prepare students for writing texts suitable for a job, career, or vocation. Professional writing is intended for publication – public or private use – in print/electronic form or in the audio/visual modes of communication. Students in this area can study and practice a wide variety of written and spoken text genres, including creative writing, technical writing for scientific and business fields, and film and television writing.

Get stories and expert advice on all things related to college and parenting.
Making a Personal Connection in the Residence HallLaTrina A. Rogers, MS Ed.
Moving off campus is an exciting rite of passage. The transition brings valuable independence and responsibilities, but challenges, too.
Parents and students alike want to secure a safe, clean, convenient and affordable place, and students are much more likely to have a successful housing search if they go about it the right way.
Here are five essential steps in the search process!
Before students start looking (unless they are funding their housing 100%), it's important to have a family conversation about what the family can afford for rent, utilities and other living costs. Even for students who are paying their own way, parents can be a helpful sounding board because they have more experience managing these types of expenses.
Good news: Students enrolled at least half-time in a degree-granting program can use 529 college savings account funds for off-campus housing expenses. But not necessarily the full amount — the college or university determines the allowable off-campus-room-and-board figure. Contact the Financial Aid office to find out what it is.
This may be the first legal document students have encountered. It's very important to review it carefully. Parents and guardians should take a close look, too (even if they are not required to co-sign).
The roommate(s) will do this when signing the lease. Make notes and take photos, paying special attention to stains on the ceiling, holes in the walls, a cracked bathroom sink, etc. so that, if there is a dispute at the end of the lease, you can prove your case and get the security deposit back.
Renters insurance is a must for students living off campus. Personal belongings will not be covered by a parent's homeowners policy or the landlord's insurance. Renters insurance is affordable — typically less than $20 a month — and will cover the loss of possessions in case of fire, flood or theft. Renters insurance also provides protection if a student accidentally damages another person's property or if someone is injured in their apartment or house.
Adapted from an article by Wendy Redal with contributions by Suzanne Shaffer and CollegiateParent staff.
Senior year is here! It's an exciting chapter for your high school senior, with lots to do. We're here to help you both along the way.
Help them plan, shop and prepare for independence in their new off-campus apartment or home.

2 // Leith Body-Con Tank Dress – This is one of my MOST worn dresses. Another one that can be super casual or dressed up – and it's universally flattering with the ruching! I actually wore this a lot while I was pregnant too! Love Leith dresses! Another option that has SO many color choices. Some of the colors are even under $30 right now!
3 // BP Button Front Prairie Dress – I LOVE this one – so flowy for perfect hot summer days. I love that it's nursing friendly (for my other nursing mama's) and cute pattern choices. I'm digging the yellow with tiny polka-dots & the navy stripes too.
4 // Lulu's Halter Jumpsuit – I have a royal blue jumpsuit and I LOVE it! I love that it's not black because it makes a bold statement without being over the top. It stands out in a crowd but in the best way possible. And a jumpsuit is always a fun choice – love this option! And the price is SO awesome on this one!

The white is stunning – would be so amazing for your wedding rehearsal night if you're getting married – or your bridal shower! Obviously go with the black if you're a wedding guest – this would be such a sexy and fun choice for a city wedding or fancy charity event. And the sale price is awesome!
7 // Eliza J Bell Sleeve Dress – Sometimes I don't want my arms exposed, but still want a summer dress – so this one is perfect! I love the fit & flare – so flattering! And I swear – lilac is a color that literally looks good on EVERYONE! I'm serious – everyone looks good in this color!
8 // French Connection Adena Mix Tie Waist Dress – Another one I AM OBSESSED with! I love how this one has an interesting look mixing lace and stripes. You can dress this one up or down. I love lace. I love blue and white stripes. So this combines two of my faves. I just love it!
9 // Eliza J Floral Asymmetric Tiered Dress – Love the layers on this one – so flirty and floral. The colors definitely pop and this would be such a fun dress to wear, not to mention also comfortable. Also comes in plus size – so very versatile for all sizes! 😉
10 // J. Crew Eyelet Wrap Midi Dress – Love the length on this one, the feminine details, the color choices and the wrap style! It's such a classic! It's light weight so perfect for hot summer days. They say this runs large so size down on this one.
11 // J. Crew Floral Jumpsuit – I just LOVE this floral pattern – it is SOOOOO pretty! I also had to have another jumpsuit option on here. This one is flowy, soft, has POCKETS and is on major sale!

GZA: MIT & Harvard Trip Is Filled With Scientists & Rap
The 45-year-old rap legend has earned his title, perhaps most of his Wu-brethren, due to his terse, tactile lyricism, and role as the wise consigiliere of the Clan, so it should come as no surprise to fans that his recent lecture at Harvard's Black Men's Forum turned into a three-day tour of Harvard and nearby MIT's science labs.
The Boston Globe tagged along with the 'Liquid Swords' rapper, as he met with MIT professor and marine biologist Penny Chisholm, Philip Richardson -- an oceanographer who studies the mysterious flight of abilities of the albatross -- dined with Harvard biologists, with whom he discussed his ideal drinking water alkalinity (8.5), checked out a genome sequencer and learned how DNA makes proteins, and frequently discussed his music with a bunch of fellow geniuses.
The conversations that ensued are far too trippy for us to relate, but you can check out the Globe's full coverage here. And remember, as the GZA once said, "Time is a terrible thing to waste, so the mind must think at a peaceful pace."

Fat Loss Program
Fat / Weight Loss Program, London SW1
Ditch the concept of 'Weight Loss'...
Weight loss is the wrong way to think about health, because what most people need to do is lose fat and build muscle. Muscle is more dense than fat, so focusing on an 'ideal' or 'target' weight is the wrong thing to do. As you'll see below, the techniques we use at our clinic to assess your health are rather more advanced than weighing scales!
Fat Loss should be your goal for long-term health!
Our fat loss program is systematic, organised and healthy. If you follow it we guarantee that you will:
- eliminate unhealthy levels of body fat;
- feel better; and
- improve blood health markers.
- You'll probably also recommend our program to someone else!
No fads, and not a diet!
This is not a fad short-term diet; instead you will change the food that you eat, and change your life - for good.
The truth is that majority of food on supermarket shelves and that recommended by the 'diet industry' isn't real food, but just a source of enormous profit for unscrupulous manufacturers and diet industry vultures. You will understand which 'inflammatory' foods make you fat and cause ill health, and why this happens
You'll learn what to eat in place of this junk. We'll recommend foods that are easy to get hold of, bring you fat loss that many clients describe as 'effortless', and bring you good health for life.
Our program works in the following way.
Initial Clinical Assessment - using Bodymetrix TM and TanitaTM systems
Without a benchmark, how can you accurately measure your success?
- We'll measure your Body Fat Percentage
- We'll measure your Weight
- We'll record Body Circumference Measurements
- We'll carry out 6 Day Food, Exercise and Sleep Diary Analysis
- Healthy Food
Dietary Starter's Orders (no arguments!)
At assessment you will be given what we call Dietary Starter's Orders - the things you must change to achieve results. Every person who has honestly stuck to these has lost between 5-10kg of body fat over a 3-4 month period whilst also getting in fabulous shape and feeling amazing. At the 2 year stage we typically see 15kg-20kg fat loss - mission accomplished, with no more fat to lose.
The same people who see this phenonemal fat loss are also recording excellent resting blood glucose levels (an important marker for Type 2 Diabetes), blood triglyceride levels, blood pressure and low inflammation as recorded by C Reactive Protein measurement (a reliable marker for heart disease).
6 Day Food, Exercise and Sleep Diary Analysis
A 6 Day Food, Exercise and Sleep Diary is part of the initial analysis. At this stage we will highlight the foods that you must exclude and those you need to include in your diet. Once you are ready to start eating in the correct manner we will ask you to complete a further diary each month (or sometimes more frequently) so we can fine tune your diet where necessary.
Macro Nutrient Profiling
We may also ask you to enter three days' food intake into a Macronutrient Analyser where we will discover your protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamin and mineral ratios, plus other important dietary information. By this stage we should have your diet well dialled in and no mistakes should be made voluntarily. Once you understand the principles involved and have all the information and support needed to apply them, making the right choice becomes so much easier.
Fast Loss Exercise: Bespoke Personal Training
You must also make a commitment to yourself to exercise at least 2-3 times a week with a resistance program, plus do two additional 20-30 minute sessions of cardiovascular exercise. Our expert personal trainers can guide you through from a standing start to levels of fitness you might not believe - for example we have a gentleman in his 80s doing multiple chin-ups after nearly 70 years of being unable to do even one!
Reassessment and Motivation
Reassessment will be done every 4-6 weeks. Nothing gives us more satisfaction than seeing how well you have done. Remember, average fat loss over a 3-4 month period is in the 5-10kg range, and according to most of our clients this is 'effortless' - brilliant!
If you haven't been following plan, and your results are not so great initially, then not to worry; this is the chance to find out why, and make the required changes. If you don't get off to the fastest start, this is NOT cause for despair. We just need to help you get motivated. We've found that those who make a slow start often finish even stronger - it just means results might take a little longer to come.
Lifestyle & Stress Reduction
There are lifestyle factors that can prevent you from achieving best results. If you don't sleep properly it will be harder to lose the body fat that the dietary changes and exercise should achieve. Have you ever stayed up late reading and responding to emails and found yourself still awake and wired at 1.00am? This needs to change.
The stress experienced as part of a 21st Century lifestyle can thwart your best efforts, but we will work with you to discover how you can best manage any issues.
Fat Loss Coaching and Support
Regular Appointments
Regular scheduled appointments with your coach make an enormous difference to the outcomes achieved. It helps you to:
- stay accountable to yourself for your progress; which helps you to
- stay the course; which helps you to
- achieve the results you want.
We always encourage everyone to work with us for the long term. With your determination and our expertise and motivation you WILL achieve what you set out to achieve.
Online Support and Continued Education
We will send you regular support updates via social media and email which will continue your education, back up what we say and drive home our message.We will subscribe you to our partner sites that will provide you with further online support back up everything that we tell you. You will be able to read articles and reports explaining the science behind our approach and also read the success stories of others who are eating and living in the same way.You will read all books and materials that we provide you with to re-educate yourself.
You'll understand what a healthy diet and lifestyle really is - and when you are done you will NEVER go back to your old ways!
