What Is the Procedure for Getting Dental Implants?
Tooth loss happens to the majority of people in the world’s population. While some tooth loss cases are necessary, most of them are due to dental decay and oral trauma. Regardless, losing your adult teeth prematurely can be depressing, especially when the loss entails multiple teeth. Not only does tooth loss affect the appearance of your smile, but it also causes other dental problems.
Luckily, there are solutions in dentistry for replacing lost teeth. In the 21st century, you do not have to worry about whether or not your teeth are replaceable. Instead, your concern should be over which dental appliance to choose, given that there are several of them for replacing missing teeth. One of the replacement appliances for restorative dentistry is a dental implant.
What Are Dental Implants?
They are titanium metal posts usually erected in the jawbone of a patient to replace the lost tooth. The metal post mimics the root of a natural tooth, which is why it is inserted in the jawbone. Dental implants in Antoine Drive are much different from other tooth replacement oral appliances. For one, they replace the roots of teeth first, which makes dental implants near you stand out from their counterparts.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
Dental implants in Houston, TX, cannot be used independently in restorative dentistry. As earlier mentioned, tooth implants are suitable for replacing the roots of teeth. Therefore, for the procedure to be complete, another oral appliance would be needed to cover the crown part of the tooth. When your dentist places your implant in your mouth, he/she has to determine a different oral appliance to cover the metal post. In many cases, dental crowns are used. However, it depends on the number of teeth you are missing, as well as the number of dental implants you have in place.
Dental implants in Houston are usually employed to replace a single missing tooth at a time. Technically, if you are missing two teeth, you require two dental implants to replace your teeth. However, when a patient has multiple missing teeth in a row, it would be illogical to insert an implant for every lost tooth. In that case, a strategy called the all-on-4 technique is used. The technique involved strategically placing 4-8 dental implants in the mouth. Afterwards, a partial or full denture is placed over the implants to complete the treatment.
What Does the Implantation Procedure Entail?
Before you get dental implants, you should at least learn a thing or two about the procedure. This way, you can prepare amply for what to expect during your treatment. The steps typically involved in an implantation procedure in dentistry are:
- Sedation and numbing – to insert an implant in your tooth, the process entails surgical means. This is why your dentist has to numb your mouth to make the process painless. Sedation will also be necessary to deal with dental anxiety, ensuring you remain calm and still throughout the treatment.
- Making an incision – your oral surgeon will cut open a small part of your gum tissue at the site of the missing tooth. This will allow him/her to access the jawbone, which is the primary target for the implantation procedure.
- Drilling – is a process done to make room for the dental implant. The dentist will use a dental drill to make a hole in your jawbone. The size of that hole will be adequate to accommodate the screw-like metal post to be inserted.
- Placing the implant – the metal post is erected in the created hole and secured in place. The dentist will then sew together the gum tissue, which will create the added support that will secure the implant in place. After this step, your dentist will send you home to heal and recover. The recovery period differs from one patient to another, typically lasting about 3 months or so. Meanwhile, the dentist will take molds of your implant and teeth to help come up with an oral appliance that will be used for the next part of the treatment.
- Crowning the implant – after proper healing, the metal post should have integrated properly with your jawbone. This is when you are ready for the final bit of the treatment. The dentist crowns the dental implant so that it is optimally functional and as natural-looking as your natural teeth. A dental crown, dental bridge, or denture will be employed for this role, depending on your dental needs and desired goals.

Apparently crap product-driven economy of China is doing pretty darn well, because there is such a huge demand for high-end exotic cars such as Lamborghini in that country that most of the manufacturers are either appointing new dealers or updating their current outlets. As for Lamborghini, well they are doing both! They are opening a new showroom in Hangzhou, and getting a new and bigger location for their Beijing dealership which makes it the largest sales outlet for the Raging Bull brand in Asia.
Automobili Lamborghini has turned in a constant sales growth in the Chinese market. During the first ten months of 2009, sales in China increased by 23,1% (with 64 cars delivered), and by the end of the year Lamborghini expects to reach the record number of 80 sold units, as compared with 72 in 2008. In overall terms, 26,8% of Automobili Lamborghini’s total sales during the last fiscal year was achieved in the Asia-Pacific area, compared with 22,8% the previous year.
This new showroom will join the other six showrooms in Guangzhou,Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Xiamen and Hong Kong. This expansion is part of the Sant’ Agata Bolognese-based company’s growth strategy for its worldwide commercial network, and reflects the success already achieved in China.
“With its speedy economic development, China has attracted the attention of the entire world. And, the strength of this Asian economy continues to provide strong potential in terms of new growth,” commented Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini SpA. “Demand for high-end automobiles has increased suddenly over the past few years, and more and more prosperous citizens of the People’s Republic are showing they are mesmerized by the extreme, uncompromising design of our brand. No other car offers the incomparable excitement of a Lamborghini to this particularly young target group.”

On Tuesday, November 17th, the governments of Mexico and the United States reported that the US will withdraw the charges against the general, so that he may be tried in Mexico; “There is a possibility that Cienfuegos will remain free, at least for a time,” says The Washington Post.
After it became known that the former Secretary of Defense of Mexico, Salvador Cienfuegos, will be repatriated to Mexico from the United States, the US media The Washington Post, published an article offering a little more information about it.
Federal prosecutors for the Eastern District of New York attributed the change in the course of the case to “threats from the Mexican government to limit the role of the Drug Control Administration (DEA, for its acronym in English) in their territory. national, “as quoted an official familiar with the case.
Also, a Mexican official confirmed the possibility of the DEA being excluded from the country, according to the Post.
“The decision to drop the charges against Cienfuegos is equivalent to a significant setback, even if only symbolic, for the efforts of the Department of Justice against drug trafficking in Mexico,” the Washington Post said in reference to the setback that would be after the negotiation held by the Mexican government with said US body.
In addition, the Post notes that the US Department of Justice has shared incriminating evidence with the Mexican prosecutors in the case; despite this, “there is the possibility that Cienfuegos will remain free, at least for a time,” he writes.
Continuing with the above, the Post maintains that this would be “a symbol of the Mexican government’s ability to play hard with the United States and win.” They also point out that the Mexican Foreign Secretary, Marcelo Ebrard, said that the former Defense Secretary would arrive “as a Mexican citizen” without facing criminal charges on national soil.

Years ago our family was travelling through Eastern France, and we stopped in the beautiful town of Annecy for lunch and a stroll. We were in Annecy-le-Vieux, the old part of town and we randomly chose a restaurant at which to have lunch. Our restaurant was one of the ones on the right side of the canal in the photo below. The canal encircles the ancient prison.
We sat outside, the sun was out, it was about 70 degrees – we didn’t think it could get much better than this. But we were wrong.
My husband and I chose the local specialty Tartiflette for lunch. Tartiflette is a potato dish baked with a cheese called Reblochon, one of the cheeses of the Savoie province of France which we were in. The Tartiflette was extremely memorable, but Reblochon is now one of my favorite all-time stinky French cheeses.
Reblochon is a cows’ milk cheese with a washed rind. It smells like, well, you’re in a cow paddy. But cheeses never taste as bad as they smell, do they?
Within the rind, Reblochon is a rich, velvet-like cheese that is perfect as is, served with my bread for cheese, or baked into tarts, or with potatoes, like this Tartiflette recipe.
When we got back to the states, I was so thrilled to discover that I could order Reblochon from fromages.com. Fromages.com has a recipe for Tartiflette, as well as an interesting history on Reblochon. (I learned that it’s actually made from a mix of milk from three different cow breeds!)
Then I happened upon a Tartiflette recipe in Anthony Bourdain’s Les Halles Cookbook. I have to quote him on what he states about Reblochon:
“Here’s more evidence that you can never have too much cheese, bacon, or starch.”
So here’s the recipe from Mr. Bourdain’s cookbook:
2 1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled (I use russet)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1/2 pound slab bacon, cut into small dice
3/4 cup white wine
salt and pepper
1 pound Reblochon cheese
large sauté pan
round, ovenproof dish
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the potatoes in the large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with the paring knife. Remove from the heat, drain, and let sit until they are cool enough to handle. Cut the potatoes into a small dice and set aside.
In the large sauté pan, heat the oil over high heat and add the onion. Cook over high heat for about 5 minutes, until golden brown, then add the bacon and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the potatoes and wine and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Remove the mixture from the heat and place half of it in the round, ovenproof dish. Spread half the Reblochon atop the potato mixture.
Cover this with the other half of the potato mixture. Top with the remainder of the cheese.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling. Serve hot.
As you can tell, I used four ramekins for the tartiflette.
You can prepare the tartiflette as one large casserole, like this one I made last year, but I wouldn’t make it in a deep dish pan because the cheese to potato ratio is critical!
Also, when searching online for how tartiflette is presented, because I find it challenging to photograph, I came across other ways to prepare tartiflette. You can place the whole wheel of cheese over the potatoes, or slice it horizontally first.
note: You can make Tartiflette with a different cheese, but please don’t. You’re missing the whole point. This dish really requires this stinky cheese, and you’ll be amazed at how smooth and mild Reblochon is with the potatoes. I personally love the rind, but my husband doesn’t, so I trimmed it.

Early Colt Police Positives in Nickel had blued parts, hammer back and trigger, etc. Fire Blue was the norm. When did they change the finish on the parts to all nickel? I have seen pictures of pre 1910 revolvers all nickel and pics of blued triggers, etc. Was the change made to all revolver models at the same time?

TOLEDO, OH (Toledo News Now) -
The city of Toledo began towing cars parked on residential streets Tuesday, which are preventing plows from clearing snow, and continued the process Wednesday.
The city moved cars to nearby plowed streets at no charge to owners. Cars were never impounded.
"As part of a Level 3 Snow Emergency, the city has the right to tow cars that are parked on residential streets that are hampering the city's ability to plow residential streets," city officials declared in a statement.
Neighbors gave a mixed reaction to the process: Some complained it was a waste of time, while others were glad to see the city taking the extra step.
"We've been here 38 years. This is the first time they've ever done this, this year ya. Hopefully they'll keep going," said Christy Edmonds.
"To have us move our cars over and plow it. First time they've had us do that ever. Most time they just plow with cars there," said Stephanie Dybowski.
Owners of towed cars can call the Toledo Police non-emergency number at 419-245-3340 for more information.
At this point, the city is not planning to do any more "towing and plowing." However, the city will start using front end loaders to get down residential streets where plowing has been a challenge.

The Director of Development for AS-DISCO project, Rafael Ortiz, participated in the International Conference organized by EASN in Salerno (Italy) between September 5 and 8. EASN is the European Aeronautical Sciences Network, an open association that establishes academic networks in aeronautical and space research to, among other objectives, disseminate knowledge, new technologies and innovation.
There, together with members of the UMA, Rafael presented their joint work “An event-driven link-level Simulator for validation of AFDX and Ethernet avionics network” developed as part of the H2020 CleanSky2 AS-DISCO project.
The event also gave the opportunity to scientists and researchers from all over the world to present their recent achievements in a series of thematic sessions, organized by internationally recognized scientists.
Furthermore, the conference has been a major European Dissemination and Exploitation event of Aviation & Space related research, as it provided a forum for presenting their activities and achieved goals, discussing current trends and future needs of aviation & space-related research, and trying to identify possible synergies with each other.


Article 8 is the right to a family life which, if you read the right-wing papers, is somehow responsible for everything wrong in Britain today. How exactly something intended to keep families together is in direct opposition to the aims of a government that claims its priority is to... err... keep families together is some question indeed.
This is the law that, according to May last year, let someone brown and gay stay in the UK because he had a cat. Only, that isn't what happened. Because as people who have interacted with the law know, it's wasn't the immigrant's rights that were being upheld. Nor even the cat's. It was the human rights of his UK-born, British partner. A right which May does not consider "absolute".
The changes are set to come in July 9th. If your wedding is scheduled for the day after, too bad, according to May. It's being couched with stories of criminals for now. Andrew Marr interviewing May this morning tried to focus on that aspect. But in the interview May clearly spoke of targeting all family settlement visas. As those of use who have been following the proposed changes know, the government would like very much for this policy to apply to everyone. Unless of course they're rich.
Chew on that a while if you please. Because for every story of some migrant who, according to the rabid anti-immigration types, is packing the country full and sheltering behind their "supposed" "human" "right" to "a" "family life" (have I got enough quotes in there for you, Theresa?) there is actually a British person whose family is being threatened.
You might not like the idea of British people falling in love with foreigners and wanting to settle here, you know, the place where they live. But there it is.
Well, you might be thinking, it's extreme all right but migration needs to be controlled. Then consider instead the fact that people from elsewhere in the EU can bring their non-EU spouses here, claim treaty rights, and settle with almost no need to navigate the byzantine UK Border Agency applications. They can move here and bring their families, but if you're British? You won't have those same rights here. The government is endorsing a policy that actively discriminates against the families of British people. Surely even people who oppose all immigration must be wondering what the hell is going on there.
And while we're here, let's bust a few myths:
- The criminal myth. This route lets in criminals? Um, no. Applying under the family route already means you can't enter if you have unspent convictions (even traffic violations) in the UK or your country of origin.
- The benefits myth. This route leads to foreigners eating up UK benefits without paying in? Wrong again. Applying under the family route already means you have no recourse to public funds, i.e. benefits. It's stamped on your visa so there's no mistaking.
- The job-poaching myth. Non-EU migrants are stealing jobs from British people? Go on, pull the other one. By EU law it is illegal to hire a non-EU/EEC person unless the employer can show there were no minimally qualified European applicants. This is one I've run up against before. It's deeply depressing to be told you were by far the best applicant, but someone whose qualifications barely scraped the job description is hired instead. If someone like me gets a job, say, scrubbing toilets for minimum wage - which I have done - it's not because I was willing to work for less. It's because British people didn't want that job enough to even apply for it. Not my fault.
May claims changing the settlement rules will "differentiate between genuine and non-genuine relationships". Only the government's already making forced marriage illegal. Detailed spouse interviews might be a sensible policy to put off sham weddings but May has no plans to introduce these, as presumably that would mean hiring and training more Border Agency staff. May is concerned about migrants not fitting in, as well. But there are no suggestions the Life In the UK test will be changed to become more relevant... and in fact, May wants more people to take it. The laughably unfit-for-purpose LIUK tests out-of-date information that is not remotely useful for living here. I memorised the percentage of single-parent families in Wales circa five years ago for why, exactly? It's as good a tool for integration as a spork is for digging the Channel Tunnel. A 1950s ship steward's handbook is better prep for living here. A copy of Heat better still.
Let's look at a couple of suggestions for reforming immigration that are often suggested by the public, who probably have a better understanding of the needs of the British economy than most politicians do:
- Many people say they would like to see an immigration points system across the board, like the one used for the now-discontinued Tier 1 General visas. This system took into account a balance of age, qualifications, employment, history in the UK, as well as income. It wasn't perfect but at least it acknowledged that people who are young and qualified or employed as key workers are unlikely to have high incomes (yet).
- People also say they would like a system "like Australia's". Australia is sometimes assumed to be the last word in hardline immigration policy. But as far as I know - this from friends of mine who have moved - the British people who qualify for skills-based residency are allowed to bring their partners and families regardless of income. Short term access to cash isn't the main factor; the longer-term needs of the local economy are. An electrician's wife gets to stay because she is a family member and he is vital to their growth. It seems reasonable.
The key to what these proposals really mean is in the election pledge: Cameron promised to reduce net migration. That's not the number of migrants total, that's the difference between migrants arriving and British citizens leaving. Sorry to break it to those who think the country is "packed full" or "under siege": the government is not interested in decreasing migration per se. They'd be as happy if immigration increased, as long as loads of Britons left. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Mail readers.
While the majority of incomers to the UK come from Europe, EU inward migration is something that can not be changed legally without leaving the EU. As well, fewer Brits are moving to Spain and France than used to since the bottom fell out of the holiday housing market there. So attacking the family route, non-EU migrant is the easiest way to lower the numbers. If a married couple cannot settle, not only has a migrant left, so has a UK citizen. This gets net migration down twice as fast as controlling other visas. The approach is crafted to appear successful to the rightwing without producing meaningful change for anyone.
Getting extra British people to leave must be part of the consideration, otherwise why attack family route visas at all? It's not the largest category by a long shot. Last year 564,005 non-visitor visas were issued outside the UK. Of those, 57% were student visas, 26% were work visas and a scant 8% were family settlement. They've already taken steps to ensure coming in as a student is not a route to settlement, and work visas are being tightened as well. Even with those changes it's going to be next to impossible to get net migration in line with the party's promise without a lot of people leaving. The potential to double the result is what makes raising the bar for family settlement so attractive to the likes of May.
Even so, the numbers are not going to go down that easily - even someone whose stand on immigration is very conservative should be able to see that May's plan will not deliver the promised numbers. EU migration in particular can not be addressed in the current system. Well, helpfully, the stalling economy affects net migration too. Plenty of folks say they would leave if they could, many are. Hey presto, population control achieved at the cost of making people into the very economic migrants they say they hate. Way to go Dave and Co.!
If I sound cynical about the government juking the stats that's because I am. In 2010 I changed from highly skilled migrant to a marriage visa out of attachment to my husband and as a statement of our intent to live in the UK. Little did I think that it might have been better to stay with the visa I was on, or even remain single. Those aren't the kinds of jaded assessments you want to make when planning a life together.
Our situation is better than many because I was already working here, so my income counts on our applications. For those who meet abroad the picture is very different. Overseas income doesn't count unless you have huge savings to bring here - over £16k under the new rules. Third party support (aka getting cash from family) will no longer count towards income. And there will no doubt be people who fall in love and get married before they realise there's no way they can bring their new husband or wife to live with them. Not legally, anyway.
May proposes upping the minimum income level to £18600, goes up to £22000 if you have a child, then adds £2400 for each additional dependent. In other words: means-tested love. It doesn't consider a family's real expenses, wealth such as house equity, or where they live. Apart from London and the Southwest, average gross earnings for families of any size everywhere are close to or below this amount. Huge numbers of UK households would not meet the new requirement. The applications care about income only - not the type of work you do or whether it's in demand - so key workers like teachers and nurses would be unable to sponsor a partner. Here is a template to write your MP about these changes.
In spite of the vast differential in living expenses between various parts of the country, there is no suggestion a family's actual expenses will be taken into account. For example: we live in the Scottish Highlands and own our house outright, so basic monthly outgoings are minimal compared to someone who is carrying a mortgage in London. We all know people who are barely making ends meet on professional incomes and others who are living their dream on a shoestring budget. Applying an arbitrary income level to all applicants makes no sense.
Under the old rules, family-visa applicants must already show they have enough income to cover essential bills. Most submit a budget to reflect their individual circumstances. This is to prevent migrants from relying on the state; what critics of family immigration don't realise is that most of us can't receive benefits anyway. My biometric ID (remember those? You may not have them, but we do) clearly states "No public funds". Family migrants can – and do – go to work and pay into the system like anyone else. If you have the right to work but no right to public funds of course that's what you do. And we are not exempt from UK taxes just because we weren't born here.
There is a pervasive myth that migrants do not contribute, which is in stark contrast not only to most people's real-life understanding of the immigrant work ethic, but also just about any stats you care to present (see below for the numbers on benefits). Look at the representation of visible first- and second-generation migrants in food service, in the NHS... these are not people who came over with established careers and huge bank balances, because if you already had those, why would you move halfway round the world? They're people who came with skills, desire, and elbow grease to spare. If you think migration started with New Labour and is a net loss to Britishness, then maybe it's you who should be taking the Life in the UK test.
DWP statistics [pdf] show foreign-born residents – at 13% of the population – represent only 6.4% of benefits claimants; 7% of foreign-born residents receive them, compared with 17% of UK-born residents. (In these stats, 'foreign born' can mean EU, who are entitled to benefits here unlike most non-EU; it can also mean born abroad but British passport holding as well. So for foreign-born, non-EU, non-UK passport, the percentage is probably rather lower.) They also find no effect on youth unemployment.
Consider same-sex partnerships, for whom moving elsewhere as a couple may not be an option whatever their income. I hope the LGBT community starts to make more noise about this, because my guess is it will be a same-sex union that is the first to test May's changes in court. Many same-sex couples do not have the option to "just" settle elsewhere as a family. Here's a couple already facing potential problems from those changes, whose wedding date was set ages ago for what now turns out to be three weeks after the new rules come in. The media fallout should things like this hit the court system? Will not be pretty.
Since when was income correlated with how real love is, or how well anyone fits in? Being able to afford jumping through the hoops does not make my marriage more genuine than anyone else's. It just means I have the money and time to negotiate the new rules. Most overseas partners will not be as lucky.
Vince Cable had it right when he criticised "the timewasting bureaucracy which stops foreigners working, studying in – or even visiting – Britain legitimately". The changes May suggests don't do much to worry the people who are staying illegally and cause a lot of stress for those who are on the level.
May's weasel words about the right to a family life not being "absolute" - her talk about "balancing" this right against other rights - doesn't hold water. How does a family settling here affect someone else's human rights? I've scratched my head on this a while and can't come up with a single sensible example.
The spouses and family members, and British people who love them, are paying the price for political expediency and pandering. These are British families plain and simple and the current government wants them out. Make no mistake, natives: this government wishes you would all just go away.
This year I finally became a permanent resident of the UK after two years of marriage and a whole lot more of living and working here. As we left the Border Agency appointment my husband seemed a bit put out. "All they wanted were my bank statements and your fingerprints," he mused. "They didn't even ask me what colour your toothbrush was."

The constant analysis work on breast most cancers has proven a strong hyperlink between excessive fatty meals and breast cancer. International locations with staple meals primarily based diets like Japan of the 1950s have recorded minimal prevalence of breast cancer. With this, I’m positive you’ll want to watch out for the fat content of your food.
The Final Result
The energy level of the radiation may also be necessary. A number of epidemiologic studies have proven an elevated threat of breast most cancers among feminine airline attendants (1.9 fold elevated risk). The probably trigger for airline attendant?s increased cancer threat is exposure to cosmic radiation (neutrons and gamma rays), which have a lot larger energy than X-rays.

Government debt curbs squeeze foreign banksStandard Chartered and Citigroup have seen their $6 billion bet on Korea turn sour in less than 10 years as the two banks struggle to sustain profits in an economy plagued by rising household debt.
Standard Chartered took a $1 billion writedown on the value of its business in the country in August, a cost that’s set to end the London-based lender’s 11-year streak of record annual profits. At Citigroup, Korea will hurt revenue in Asia through 2014, Chief Financial Officer John Gerspach has said.
Korean lenders have seen their return on equity, a measure of profitability, shrink by more than half over the past decade when Standard Chartered and Citigroup first pledged the largest-ever foreign investment in the country’s financial industry. With the government stepping up efforts to curb household debt, foreign banks have been left seeking ways to cut costs.
“Banks will have to accept the new normal of low growth, low return on equity,” said Yoo Sang Ho, a Seoul-based banking analyst at HI Investment and Securities. “They have to forget what they saw in the mid-2000s.”
Standard Chartered, Citigroup and HSBC Holdings first started competing for Korean banks after the economy and banking system rebounded from the 1990s Asian currency crisis that led to an International Monetary Fund bailout. In 2004, New York-based Citigroup trumped Standard Chartered to buy Koram Bank for about $2.7 billion. The following year, Standard Chartered beat HSBC in acquiring Korea First Bank for $3.3 billion.
Over the past five years, Korean economic growth slowed to 2.9 percent from an average 5.8 percent in the nine years through 2008, according to the IMF, as household debt swelled. At the same time, commercial banks saw their ROE slump to about 7.4 percent last year from 20.3 percent in 2005, according to data from the nation’s Financial Supervisory Service.
Bank lending rose 3.4 percent in 2012, the weakest since a drop of 0.1 percent in 1998 amid the Asian currency crisis, according to Bank of Korea data. Loan growth averaged 6.5 percent in the five years starting in 2008 after averaging about 17 percent for nine years, the data show.
“Rules that limit household lending must have hammered profits at foreign banks that rely more on retail business than their domestic peers,” said Kim Hye Mi, a researcher at Seoul-based Hana Institute of Finance.
Profits of all 18 lenders in the country - including Standard Chartered and Citigroup - fell 42 percent to 4.8 trillion won ($4 billion) in the nine months through September as lending slumped and margins on loans shrank to a four-year low, the FSS said.
Government measures have hit foreign banks harder than their Korean counterparts because they rely more on lending to individuals. Loans to households accounted for about 71 percent of lending at Standard Chartered Bank Korea as of September and 61 percent at Citibank Korea, according to FSS data. That’s compared with 55 percent at Kookmin Bank, the nation’s biggest lender by assets, and 45 percent at Woori Bank, the second largest.
“Because of the government’s view, on the retail side you have to conduct your business in a way that’s good for clients that isn’t necessarily profit maximizing,” said Iain Clacher, an associate professor in accounting and finance at Leeds University Business School, who’s published research on economic development since the 1950-53 Korean War. “It’s not a glamorous thing, but it can be stable.”

California Health and Safety Code Section 121690 and Contra Costa County Animal Control Ordinance 80-97, Section 416-6.002, require that all dogs over the age of 12 weeks old be vaccinated against rabies with an approved vaccine and be licensed by the age of 5 months. Dogs over the age of 5 months must be licensed within 30 days of acquisition, or within 30 days after entering Contra Costa County.
The above regulations apply to anyone owning, harboring, or possessing any dog over the age of 4 months old in Contra Costa County.
California Health and Safety Code regulations prohibit Contra Costa County from issuing a pet license extending beyond the rabies vaccination expiration date. Please be aware that there are no refunds once a pet license has been issued, and there are no pro-rated license fees.
Service Dog Designation
The Service Animal designation in Contra Costa is in compliance with the US Department of Justice’s definition of Service Animals. The County defines a Service Animals as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Service Animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability.
Please note that dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as Service Animals under the American Disability Act (ADA), and Contra Costa therefore does not designate or recognize these animals as such.

Sofidel Introduces Workplace Health Promotion Programme
The Italian company, known for the Regina and KittenSoft brands, has joined the programme, developed by the World Health Organisation, which aims to promote healthy lifestyles among employees.
The campaign deals with adopting good practice with relation to nutrition, physical activity, smoking, alcohol, road safety and sustainable mobility, well-being at work, and work–life balance.
An event promoting good nutrition habits was organised last week at the Porcari headquarters for Sofidel’s Italian employees, in collaboration with the Gruppo Ospedaliero San Donato Foundation of Milan.
Sofidel said that ‘particular emphasis has been placed on the potential harm resulting from the combination of sedentary habits and a nutritionally inadequate diet – rich in added sugars, salt and low-quality fats – which contributes to the onset of obesity and chronic degenerative diseases’.
The non-profit Gruppo Ospedaliero San Donato Foundation promotes scientific research and disease prevention within the region. It has recently developed a specific sustainable nutrition programme - EAT Educational.
This programme extends the scope of Sofidel’s 'Feed Your Health' campaign, and sees the introduction of new food and drink vending machines in the group’s plants, which provide employees with healthy alternatives to sugary snacks.

As Thailand cautiously starts to reopen its borders to select foreign tourists, the majority of Thais are confident that the country is ready and prepared to restart its tourism engine.
These are the findings from a recent global study which found that four out of five (82 per cent) Thais are confident that Thailand is well-prepared to reopen its tourism and leisure activities – the highest globally.
The study also found that tourists from Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia, and India are all targeting Thailand as their first destination when international tourism resumes.
Jointly conducted by social research agency Blackbox Research, data provider Dynata, and language partner Language Connect, Unravel Travel: Fear & Possibilities in a Post Coronavirus (Covid-19) World examines the sentiments, preferences, and expectations of more than 10,000 people across 17 countries regarding travel in a post-Covid-19 world.
Thailand’s economy is heavily dependent on tourism, with foreign tourist dollars contributing around 11 per cent to the national economy. The vast majority (93 per cent) of Thais recognise the importance of the tourism sector to the local economy. In fact, 22 per cent of Thais agree that there is an urgent need for tourism boards, including their own, to promote tourism for economic reasons – the highest globally.
Saurabh Sardana, COO of Blackbox Research, said that both regional interest and citizen sentiment towards restarting local tourism have been encouraging, especially given the country’s phased approach in reopening to business and medical tourists. Sardana noted that establishing traveller’s trust in health and safety protocols is key, and that Thailand needs to capitalise on its success in containing the Covid-19 outbreak.
He elaborated: “It is evident from our findings the immense value tourism contributes to Thailand’s economy. As Thailand progressively opens its borders to international visitors, its immediate priority will be to regain traveller confidence, through reinforcing how Thailand has in place strict health and safety measures, keeping everyone safe.
“In turn, businesses and the Tourism Authority of Thailand need to work collaboratively and ensure full compliance with these measures, and effectively communicate their efforts through the right channels. Only through stringent health protocols and regular public communication can the tourism industry successfully revitalise itself.
“With Thailand’s currently low rate of coronavirus infections, and its strong public health system which played a key role in its tackling of the pandemic, the country is well-placed to be recognised on the regional and global stage as a trusted destination.”
Among South-east Asian countries, Thailand has the strongest domestic appeal. Some 91 per cent of Thais are keen to support local travel attractions in the next 12 months – a positive sign given Thailand’s recent investment of 22.4 billion baht (US$720 million) to stimulate its domestic tourism, of which partial financial aid will be provided to local tourists for selected hotels and restaurants throughout the country.
Sardana noted that while the financial aid will definitely play a part in encouraging locals to travel domestically, the government needs to also take into consideration how travel priorities have shifted in response to the pandemic.
He elaborated: “Our study has found that price is not necessarily the highest priority for their next trip – this applies to all the key areas such as transport (18 per cent), accommodation (15 per cent), and attraction (10 per cent). Instead, visitor safety measures overwhelmingly ranked top of the list for most Thai travellers (transport – 43 per cent; accommodation – 46 per cent; attraction – 53 per cent).
“To complement these stimulus measures, both the government and tourism operators need to work together to ensure safety and cleanliness protocols are met at all times, giving travellers a sense of security as domestic tourism demand begins to kick in. Establishing confidence amongst locals will also help tell the story of trust to a wider international audience.
“What the study has shown us is that the pandemic has unequivocally shifted how we see travel. In order for travel industry players to stay relevant, they need to change the way they approach every aspect and touchpoint in the traveller experience, emphasising safety and rebuilding trust.”

Lose yourself in a Minecraft world with Gear VR
Minecraft, a game that only gets greater in virtual reality, is now available on the Samsung Gear VR.
It boasts everything you’ll find in Minecraft: Pocket Edition for Android, including creative and survival modes, and it’s a must-have for any Gear VR owner.
It might not have the prettiest visuals, but Minecraft is already one of the most immersive games. It’s easy to get lost in its blocky worlds — especially if you’re building spectacular structures or battling other block characters.
But it’s even more incredible when you step into those worlds in virtual reality.
“My strongest memories of being inside VR are from the time I’ve spent exploring Minecraft on Gear VR,” says Oculus CTO John Carmack.
“Experiencing it in virtual reality changes it from an abstract activity to a visceral one — it goes from a sense of playing the game to one of being inside your world, and spinning around to find a creeper sneaking up on you leaves a powerful impression.”
In Minecraft: Gear VR Edition, there are two modes to enjoy in VR. One is as wonderful as you’d expect; throwing you into virtual worlds with the first-person perspective you would expect from a VR game. The other lets you sit back and play in a virtual theater.
This is for comfort, a Minecraft representative told Digital Trends. If you can only enjoy VR for a short time before it makes you feel pretty dizzy, using the theater mode obviously reduces the motion and lets you play on for longer.
Minecraft: Gear VR Edition is priced at $6.99, and you can download it now from the Oculus Store on your Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli celebrates 30 years on world stages this year. After a series of sold-out concerts, he returns to Prague’s O2 arena on Saturday, January 13, 2024, where he will perform as always with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Maestro Steven Mercurio. Romanian violinist Rusanda Panfili, Dutch pop star Emma Heesters will appear as guests, and the participation of excellent Czech soprano Zuzana Marková will certainly be a big surprise. The audience can also look forward to the talented Italian dancers Angelica Gismondo and Francesco Costa.
The repertoire will traditionally consist of classical opera arias, supplemented in the second part of the concert with beautiful romantic compositions from films, musicals and the Maestro’s latest albums. The concert has been hopelessly sold out for several months.

Artist Jason McLean, who recently moved to Toronto after 18 years in Vancouver, has a pretty interesting practice. As I've mentioned here before, he works in drawing as well as sculpture and multiples. Particularly striking are his reworkings of sports equipment, such as those seen above.
Since McLean is having a show at Jessica Bradley in Toronto right now, it seemed an opportune time to sit down and have a chat. Today, a condensed version of same was published in the National Post. Here's an excerpt:
Q Often you paint on old photographs or used sports equipment. Why?
A Sometimes I enjoy the awkwardness between sports and art. I'ma closet sports fan, and I like the way a recognizable object opens up to a larger audience.
The photos partly started when I worked for Adbusters. They wanted me to work over 40or 50 pharmaceutical photos. Book art by people like Marc Bell influenced me, too.
But sometimes, there's so much age in an object you can't go wrong working with it! It's kind of like an older person who has all sorts of stories. It's so much more interesting than someone new, in a way.
Q In addition to making art, you collect it. Why?
A It's like an addiction, I guess. In my early years, I liked to collect sporting cards, trading them and getting deals.
Art collecting is sometimes about remembering people when you leave a city. Sometimes it's about wanting to make a home feel different. Sometimes people inspire you, so if you can acquire something of theirs, it seems magical.
I'm really into trading art, too. We've traded art for wholesale fruit, birthing doulas, house tiling and law work. It's like, what can't you trade? I've never traded for a car, but then again, I don't drive.

This year's United States Capitol Christmas tree is selected and will be cut from the Chippewa National Forest in Minnesota this fall.
U.S. Capitol staff and the Washington office of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service visited the Chippewa National Forest last month to narrow down the dozens of tree candidates. A second tree was selected as a backup.
Officials looked for a tree of 60 to 80 feet in size, a full pyramid-like shape without gaps, healthy branches, a straight trunk, and a species that can withstand transport to Washington D.C.
The location of the trees will not be disclosed in order to protect them. The cutting ceremony will happen Oct. 29.

We love this latest scrapbook idea from Maxine, which adds another dimension to your memory keeping! This creative Memories of Autumn memory box unfolds to reveal the hidden treasures inside. We have also designed a template for you to follow making this scrapbook memory box super easy to create.
You will Need:
First Edition Floral Fusion 12” x 12” paper pad
Dovecraft Stamps, Dies, Ribbon
Fiskars Hole Punch
Download your free template here.
How to Make:
1. Follow the template to fold a sheet of 12 x 12 First Edition Floral Fusion paper. We used double-sided paper so the inside of the box is as pretty as the outside.
2. When finished, add double-sided tape to the outside sections of the box sides.
3.Cut two pieces of backing paper down to 7.5cm x 15.2cm and adhere to the front sides.
4.Cut two pieces of complementing 6cm x 15.2cm paper. Take the ribbon (we used one from the Dovecraft Blooming Lovely Ribbon collection) and wrap it around the centre of the box. Adhere the two pieces of card to the front of the box to hold it in place.
5.Cut out a tag shape and stamp ‘Memories of Autumn 2017’ to the front. Leave your stamp sentence to dry before using a Fiskars hole punch to thread the ribbon through.
6.Die cut a variety of leaves and add these to the front of the box to complete your project. Store your favourite photographs and treasured knick-knacks inside.
This creative memory box design can be perfect to store a variety of keepsakes. Why not focus on a beach theme and store a selection of collected shells, or adapt it to fit a music theme as a concert ticket keepsake box?
We’d love to see your scrapbook layout using this template, so don’t forget to #trimcraft when sharing on social media and to share your makes in the Inspiration area.
Trimcraft design these templates to aid your crafting projects, so we are always happy to see them being used and enjoyed. However, we just ask you credit Trimcraft for the template design when you publish your crafty makes online and on social media.

A Texas A&M Football Player Who Went Missing Three Days Ago Has Now Been Found In Dallas
Early Monday evening, 18-year-old Texas A&M freshman wide receiver Thomas Johnson went missing. The details surrounding his disappearance are scarce (stupid rumors aside), as the only information known was that he was seen leaving his dorm around 5 p.m. Monday in “street clothes.”
He then missed football practice on Monday and Tuesday, and on Wednesday night it was announced that he was reported missing.
Texas A&M released a statement pleading for his safe return, and Johnson’s mother, Linda Hanks, did the same. But then only hours later, at around 2:30 a.m. Wednesday night/Thursday morning, Thomas was found unharmed in Dallas (his hometown), according to Texas A&M University police, who spoke with Hanks.
Besides a silly rumor floating around that Alabama fans had kidnapped the player in the wake of the Aggies’ upset of the Crimson Tide on Saturday, no other information has been released. All we really know is that Johnson was seen leaving his campus dorm on Monday at 5 p.m., and then last night at around 2:30 a.m he was found in Dallas, 173 miles away from College Station. We’ll let you know what happened in between as soon as that information is released.

The siege cannon is an early artillery weapon. It was the long-range weapon of Joan of Arc.
In the 800s the Chinese were the first to make gunpowder. The Song Dynasty created the first cannon known as the Fire Lance in the 900s. Chinese cannon technology would be widespread by the 1100s. With the rise of the Arabic Empire, the technology traveled from China westward to the battlefield of Europe. The Arabs had a monopoly on cannon warfare until their wars against Europe allowed the Europeans to steal the technology for themselves.
The siege cannon was a cast iron barrel mounted on a wooden cart, with an overall weight of 1,350 lbs. The cannonballs were made from granite and weighed between 10 and 12 lbs. The range was measured at 2,200 yards.
- Total weight: 1,350 lbs
- Ordinance: 10-12 lb stone ball
- Range: 2,200 yards
- Ignitor: Fuse
- Average reload time: 1:24
The siege cannon was used to bombard the walls of the castle, continually blasting it until the wall eventually collapsed under its own weight.
The siege cannon was pitted against the Torsion catapult of William the Conqueror. The siege cannon was tested against a wall, made to medievel specifications, and given 5 shots to bring it down. The wall was heavily damaged and after 3 shots, a ballistics gel torso was added to test for accuracy and lethality. The cannon hit the gel on the fifth shot, giving an instant kill and doing extreme damage to the wall (Geoff stated that if it were a weight bearing wall, it would have collapsed) with an average reload of 1 minute and 24 seconds. The catapult was tested against a mock castle wall and village with 5 shots to hit as many villagers or guards along the wall as possible. The catapult killed 2 villagers and one guard with an average reload of 1 minute and 1 second. The edge was given to the siege cannon due to its intimidation factor, the sound of the cannon causing a morale drop on the castle defenders when facing a long time of hearing the cannon blasts, and ability to breach a castle wall.

The Alabama State Parks Division of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources will again recognize special contributors to the parks with its prestigious Eagle Awards.
Nominations for the seventh annual Eagle Awards are open online at www.alapark.com/eagle-awards-2023.com and the awards will be presented in five categories: Elected Official, Community Partner, Park Partner, Volunteer in Parks (VIP) and Youth (students 12th grade and younger). Deadline for submitting nominations is Friday, Dec. 23, 2022.
“Alabama State Parks appreciate organizations and individuals that contribute their time and talents to help make the parks a better experience for others,” Parks Director Greg Lein said. “We are excited to once again recognize and reward them with our seventh annual Eagle Awards. Having this awards ceremony at Lake Guntersville State Park during Eagle Awareness Weekend is the ideal setting to honor and acknowledge the invaluable efforts that help make the Alabama State Parks successful.”
Here are brief descriptions of the Eagle Awards categories:
Elected Official: This award honors an elected official who has worked in conjunction with the parks to help fulfill its mission to preserve natural areas, operate recreational facilities and extend the public’s knowledge of the state’s natural environment.
Community Partner: Parks succeed with the cooperation and support of community organizations such as other government organizations, chambers of commerce, tourism organizations and local businesses – groups that understand that the success of the park means success for the community.
Park Partner: Organizations work to provide or maintain amenities in the parks, such as hiking and biking trails, that otherwise might not exist due to the allocation of resources for other services. This award celebrates those partners who see a need and cooperate with park leadership to fill it.
Volunteer in Parks: These VIPs work in various ways to make our parks system better. Volunteers may be providing physical labor or strategic planning to improve one park, or the entire system of parks.
Youth: Our parks inspire young – and old – alike, but the impression left on youngsters often lives with them forever. Many turn their love of the parks, of the outdoors, into projects to benefit some of their favorite places – often as part of a Scouting program. This award, for students 12th grade and younger, honors the person whose contribution is extraordinary.
Winners will be honored during Eagle Awareness Weekend set for February 3-5, 2023 at Lake Guntersville State Park.

VERY HANDY FOR VACUUM CHUCKING
Will use almost exclusively for transfer from 4 jaw chuck to vacuum chucks for bowl turning
I have only had it a short time and used it several times already. It is great to center bowls and platers etc. on a vacuum chuck for removal and finish of base. Great tool and a time saver for any turner that uses a jam chuck or vacuum chuck.
A must have tool
This tool is important when you flip a piece around for your vacuum chuck to finish the bottom. You simply leave it on the chuck, put it in the tail stock and gently push it up until the vacuum chuck takes over. Then the piece runs true when you finish the bottom.

We would like to begin by saying thank you for taking the time to read the articles written and photos produced by diverse student journalists from across the nation at the 2022 Western Kentucky University Xposure High School Journalism Workshop. After not having a workshop since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s an honor to be the first group back.
For the first time ever, the Xposure workshop focused on a single topic: teen mental health. Teens are experiencing drastically more mental illnesses and mental health challenges than generations before. This crisis is affecting teens everywhere and hits close to home for many of us. As we researched, reported in the field, conducted interviews and wrote our articles, we gained further understanding of the complexity of Gen Z’s mental health.
Some sensitive topics discussed in our work include sexual and drug addictions, eating disorders, suicide, trauma-inducing events and grief. Producing these stories was challenging. As we reported on other teens’ mental health, we experienced stress, anger and sadness, too. This project took a toll on us but it also made us aware of the mental health and struggles of other teens and ourselves.
We hope that by producing this content we have helped lessen the stigma surrounding teen mental health. We are proud to be able to amplify the voices of our communities and those we interviewed.

New dwarf galaxies discovered in orbit around the Milky Way
A team of astronomers from the University of Cambridge have identified nine new dwarf satellites orbiting the Milky Way, the largest number ever discovered at once. The findings, from newly-released imaging data taken from the Dark Energy Survey, may help unravel the mysteries behind dark matter, the invisible substance holding galaxies together.
The new results also mark the first discovery of dwarf galaxies - small celestial objects that orbit larger galaxies - in a decade, after dozens were found in 2005 and 2006 in the skies above the northern hemisphere. The new satellites were found in the southern hemisphere near the Large and Small Magellanic Cloud, the largest and most well-known dwarf galaxies in the Milky Way's orbit.
The Cambridge findings are being jointly released today with the results of a separate survey by astronomers with the Dark Energy Survey, headquartered at the US Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. Both teams used the publicly available data taken during the first year of the Dark Energy Survey to carry out their analysis.
The newly discovered objects are a billion times dimmer than the Milky Way, and a million times less massive. The closest is about 95,000 light years away, while the most distant is more than a million light years away.
According to the Cambridge team, three of the discovered objects are definite dwarf galaxies, while others could be either dwarf galaxies or globular clusters - objects with similar visible properties to dwarf galaxies, but not held together with dark matter.
"The discovery of so many satellites in such a small area of the sky was completely unexpected," said Dr Sergey Koposov of Cambridge's Institute of Astronomy, the study's lead author. "I could not believe my eyes."
Dwarf galaxies are the smallest galaxy structures observed, the faintest of which contain just 5000 stars - the Milky Way, in contrast, contains hundreds of billions of stars. Standard cosmological models of the universe predict the existence of hundreds of dwarf galaxies in orbit around the Milky Way, but their dimness and small size makes them incredibly difficult to find, even in our own 'backyard'.
"The large dark matter content of Milky Way satellite galaxies makes this a significant result for both astronomy and physics," said Alex Drlica-Wagner of Fermilab, one of the leaders of the Dark Energy Survey analysis.
Since they contain up to 99 percent dark matter and just one percent observable matter, dwarf galaxies are ideal for testing whether existing dark matter models are correct. Dark matter - which makes up 25 percent of all matter and energy in our universe - is invisible, and only makes its presence known through its gravitational pull.
"Dwarf satellites are the final frontier for testing our theories of dark matter," said Dr Vasily Belokurov of the Institute of Astronomy, one of the study's co-authors. "We need to find them to determine whether our cosmological picture makes sense. Finding such a large group of satellites near the Magellanic Clouds was surprising, though, as earlier surveys of the southern sky found very little, so we were not expecting to stumble on such treasure."
The closest of these pieces of 'treasure' is 97,000 light years away, about halfway to the Magellanic Clouds, and is located in the constellation of Reticulum, or the Reticle. Due to the massive tidal forces of the Milky Way, it is in the process of being torn apart.
The most distant and most luminous of these objects is 1.2 million light years away in the constellation of Eridanus, or the River. It is right on the fringes of the Milky Way, and is about to get pulled in. According to the Cambridge team, it looks to have a small globular cluster of stars, which would make it the faintest galaxy to possess one.
"These results are very puzzling," said co-author Wyn Evans, also of the Institute of Astronomy. "Perhaps they were once satellites that orbited the Magellanic Clouds and have been thrown out by the interaction of the Small and Large Magellanic Cloud. Perhaps they were once part of a gigantic group of galaxies that - along with the Magellanic Clouds - are falling into our Milky Way galaxy."
The Cambridge research, funded by the European Research Council, will be published in The Astrophysical Journal.

Five Mason Jar Centrepiece Ideas written by: loveforwriting Mason jar are extremely popular right now among people as one can create beautiful mason jar centrepieces by combining them with the several Do-It-Yourself or DIY’ crafts. Apart from being economical and attractive, these centrepieces can be used for several purposes and they are the ideal way to show off one’s creativity.
Tree Slice Centrepiece:
The mason jars are mounted on the wood tree slices which are kiln dried and has a smooth texture. These centrepieces have an unique look and are a great option for cup and cupcake stands
– Wood tree slice
– Two mason Jars (Use different sizes to add uniqueness)
Place the mason jars on the wood slice and make sure there is a little gap between them. Put the candle in one of the jars and keep the other jar empty. The other jar can be used as a flower vase or to store small items like keys, notes etc.
These centrepieces are a new form of photo frames and they are hugely popular in the craft world.
– Mason Jar with lid
– Vegetable Oil
– Dried Flowers
Cut the photo as per the shape of the jar and put it inside the jar, fill the whole jar with vegetable oil. Place the dried flowers on the backside of the picture to add a creative touch to the centrepiece and screw the lid back.
– Four Blue Mason Jars
Place the lantern at the centre of the table and put the candle inside the lantern. Place the mason jars around the lantern and add your desired flowers. Fill the jars up with water to keep the flowers fresh or else you can even use fake flowers.
Floating Candle Centrepiece:
– Mason Jars
– Floating Candles
– Gloss Paint
Set the mason jars in the center of the table and add the marbles, make sure the marbles cover the base of the jar. Fill each jar half full of water and gently set the floating candles inside the jars, don’t put more than one candle inside a jar.
– Mason jar
– Gloss Spray
Apply glue all over the mason jar with brushes and paint an even coating of glue over the entire exterior area of the mason jar. Pour the glitter on the jar covering one side at time till the whole jar is covered with glitter. After a while when the jar has dried, use the brush to dust off any loose glitter. And when the jar gets dry and glitter free you need to apply the gloss paint, spray paints are a better choice. Though three coats of the top gloss paint is usually enough, a lot of the top gloss paint ensures a shed-free centrepiece. One can even choose to add flowers and in that case he’ll need to pour in some water first.
All these centrepieces can be made by anyone and they require very limited resources. Apart from being economical they can help someone change the whole ambience of the room.

Square Product Theatre and Goddess Here Productions Stage GIDION'S KNOT, Now thru 1/18
Award-winning square product theatre and Goddess Here Productions present the Regional Premiere of Johnna Adams' "Gidion's Knot," Finalist for the 2013 Steinberg New Play Award and the 2012 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.
"Gidion's Knot" takes place in a 5th grade classroom during a parent/teacher conference. A grieving mother and an overwhelmed teacher have a fraught conversation about the suicide of the mother's son, the teacher's student, Gidion. Was he a bully? Was he a victim? Was he a protector? Or, was his young and vivid imagination simply too powerful a tool for the adults around him? As his story is uncovered, the women try to construct an explanation for his behavior and come to terms with who, or what, is truly to blame. "Gidion's Knot" is a heart-wrenching, devastatingly beautiful work about the power of words and freedom of expression.
The show will be put on at the Carsen Theater at The Dairy Center for the Arts. Previews will be at 8 PM tonight, January 2, and Friday, January 3, 2014. Performances will be at 8 p.m. on January 4; January 9-11; January 16-18; 2 p.m., and January 11.
Tickets can be purchased in advance online or by phone at 303-444-7328, or at the door. Tickets are $20 general admission, $14 students (with ID), $16 for seniors, $12 for Previews and Thursdays (January 2, 3, 9, 16)

Happy New Year!! I am beyond excited to finally be moving to our home in Napa in the next couple of months. Things have been going very smoothly with our renovation. In the meantime, I’ve been purchasing some furniture. Since we are selling most of our current furniture as it doesn’t match the home, we needed some furnishings! I was glad to find the dining room set from Past Perfect in San Francisco, and it looks great in the space. I had been looking for a new coffee table for the living area and I could not find anything I liked. I wanted something large and rectangular, with storage for magazines. I was lucky to spy this original piece for sale on EBay from a seller in Los Angeles and snapped it up.
It is from the ‘Drexel Declaration’ line of furniture made by Stewart MacDougall and Kipp Stewart. When I saw the piece for the first time online, for reasons that I cannot explain, it spoke to me. When I learned it was a nice meaty, solid walnut with storage, I had to have it. It is going to be a transition to less clutter and minimalist design so anything in which you can hide crap is a winner in my book! I am a newbie at mcm furniture so I did some research on the furniture line and I found great info on one of my fav blogs – Retro Renovation.
I was puzzled why I saw some pieces with brass knobs and others with the white porcelain knobs which is on the coffee table. Apparently they were options and you could choose betwee the two. Mystery solved. Ironically enough Kipp Stewart is an architect and designed the Ventana Inn and Spa in Big Sur, where we spent our honeymoon! Coincidence? I wonder!
|Storage Storage Storage!|
The condition of the table is quite simply, impeccable. It has been expertly restored and looks brand new. The color looks perfect with the wood floors. It is nice and low so will not obstruct our beautiful view. What a unique, interesting piece that will look wonderful in our living room!
2 thoughts on “Recent Acquisition”
Hello fellow Drexel Declaration coffee table owner! We recently purchased one on eBay as well, and the Drexel stamp is nowhere to be found, oh no! I had a few questions regarding your table. If you could help us we would greatly appreciate it!
All the best on the remodel!
If you cannot find the stamp anywhere, I would definitely talk to the seller. Did the seller advertise as an authentic Drexel coffee table? I have not actually looked under the table for a stamp but there is a Drexel stamp on the inside of the top small drawer. I don’t have a picture of the stamp from our table, but you can see it from this picture of the same table:
Hope this helps!
