You Don't Know Jack coming to iOS
Here's some good news for your Friday: The newest version of the classic trivia video game You Don't Know Jack is coming to iOS. Cookie and the gang, Question Four (the question that cares), and all the rest will be on Apple's handheld platforms sometime in the future, so you'll be able to do some Dis or Dat, screw other players, and hit up the Jack Attack all while out and about. There's no word on if the game supports multiplayer or not (sure it'd be tough to do without an honor system, but it's YDKJ!), but it will have Game Center, and apparently it will have 20 full episodes to play through as well.
Great to hear. You Don't Know Jack is definitely a classic, and it'll be nice to have it in the more and more definitive iOS library. We'll keep an eye out for the game and let you know when it's released.

Filatov might leave team this week, sources say
In 19 games this season, Nikita Filatov was a healthy scratch six times.
Blue Jackets rookie forward Nikita Filatov, who has struggled to remain in coach Ken Hitchcock's lineup, might be headed back to Russia, perhaps as soon as this week, according to sources within and beyond the NHL.
Jackets general manager Scott Howson would not comment on a potential agreement allowing the 19-year-old Filatov to return to his former club team, CSKA Moscow. Nothing has been finalized, however, and Filatov and the Blue Jackets are expected to talk again today about the possibility of staying in Columbus.
At least one teammate has encouraged Filatov to give the situation more time before making a decision, a source said.
Neither Filatov, a healthy scratch last night against Edmonton, nor his agent, Don Meehan, would comment when contacted by The Dispatch. Hitchcock also declined to comment.
Meehan, who represents several Jackets, was in town over the weekend.
If Filatov, the No. 6 overall pick in the 2008 NHL draft, does play for his old Continental Hockey League team it would be with the understanding that he could return to the Jackets next season, according to multiple sources.
The Jackets would retain Filatov's NHL rights for several more seasons. He will still be a restricted free agent when his entry-level deal expires after the 2011-12 season.
Filatov has played in 13 games this season, averaging just 8 minutes, 6 seconds of ice time -- the third lowest behind forwards Mike Blunden and Jared Boll. The Jackets are off to their best start in franchise history at 11-6-2.
It's believed the handling of Filatov, a highly-skilled, but small winger, has become a contentious issue between Hitchcock and Howson, who drafted him.
Filatov has not drawn the ice time many anticipated. He was projected as a Rookie-of-the-Year candidate by several media outlets, based on his pedigree and success in a limited NHL role last season.
Hitchcock has played Filatov primarily on the fourth line, sitting him for long stretches late in games. He has two goals after scoring four in eight games last season, including a hat trick against Minnesota on Jan. 10.
The coach repeatedly has said the 6-foot, 175-pound winger has not been competitive enough, especially fighting for the puck. Several weeks ago, Filatov was in "survival mode," Hitchcock said.
The coach has had discussions with Filatov, telling him he did not want the player to become another Nikolai Zherdev, the mercurial former Blue Jacket first-round draft pick traded to the New York Rangers in the summer of 2008. Zherdev is playing in the KHL this season.
Filatov made headlines in the offseason saying he got substantial offers from several KHL clubs and that if he were returned to minor-league Syracuse he would consider going back to Russia. He played 39 games last season for the Crunch.
Sources say Filatov's discontent with his role on the team has escalated in the past week.
Friday night, Filatov committed three turnovers on the same shift late in the second period. He sat last night in favor of Tom Sestito, a checking forward promoted from minor-league Syracuse. Sestito had played one previous NHL game -- April 6, 2008, against St. Louis in which he had 17 penalty minutes.
In the postgame news conference, Hitchcock was asked if last night's decision to scratch Filatov was different than previous times.
"How about we leave that one (alone) right now," Hitchcock said. "Tommy played well tonight. I was happy with Tommy."

Wow! Great deals! And both really cool types of fish. Is your 120 ready for them, or are they in your other tank awhile?
6 clown loaches, from everything I have heard, will be very entertaining to watch! Such neat fish. Every time my son sees them on the monitor he says "I wanna put in my fish tank downstairs".

Were those sale prices? Or is PJs always that cheap?


Want 'special attention' for L.A. parking tickets? Get a 'Gold Card'
Forget the Platinum Card. Most Angelenos would rather have access to the "Gold Card."
The plastic parking bureau "Gold Card" has been distributed to city offices and includes a special phone number. The obscure Gold Card Services Desk allowed the mayor and other elected officials to expedite citation reviews.
On the back side, the card notes that the holder may have an "urgent need to resolve any parking citation matter which requires special attention." It promises "you will be immediately connected to our Gold Card Specialist."
A report released Thursday by City Controller Wendy Greuel found that approximately 1,000 Los Angeles city parking citations were dismissed over a two-year period -- some without justification -- as part of the Gold Card operation. The program was started about 20 years ago to permit officials and their staff to expedite constituents’ appeals of parking tickets and possibly have fines reduced or eliminated.
"You should not need political pull to expedite the investigation of a ticket," said Greuel, a possible candidate for mayor. "There were no specific policies to guide the review of these citations … we believe, causing a rift for inappropriate cancellations."
Greuel's audit said the Gold Card referral service is provided exclusively to the mayor's office and council district offices.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's office challenged that assertion Thursday afternoon, providing figures it had received indicating that about 90% of some 5,600 requests for Gold Card reviews came from within the transportation department and other sources in recent years, though it did include hundreds of requests from the mayor and City Council offices.
The transportation department's interim general manager, Amir Sedadi, said the department will discontinue the program in its upcoming contract.

Several new propane dehydrogenation (PDH) plants are coming online along the U.S. Gulf Coast. Now developers in Alberta are making plans for the province to become the next hot spot for PDH plant development. Final Investment Decisions (FIDs) are due over the next year or so on two projects aimed at taking advantage of the increasing volumes of propane being produced in western Canada—propane so plentiful, in fact, that they are paying to have it hauled off. But what if propane prices rise due to increasing U.S. demand, more exports and lower U.S. production? What might such developments do to PDH economics? What could make Alberta different? Today, we consider the drivers behind two (maybe three) prospective PDH projects in Alberta, and look at how they may affect the propane market on both sides of the 49th parallel.
We try not to play favorites among the hydrocarbon markets we blog about, but it’s hard not to like the propane sector, with its dynamic pricing, its variety of uses (heating, BBQ grilling, petrochemical feedstocks), its huge export potential, and the sometime remarkable differences between how much it costs at Point A versus Point B. As we have explained, propane is a “purity” product extracted from natural gas along with the other NGLs or (in smaller volumes) produced at refineries. Propane has three carbon atoms and eight hydrogen atoms (C3H8). We’ve written about propane frequently, and about propylene, a very in-demand petchem intermediary feedstock that for a long time was produced primarily by refineries or as a byproduct from ethylene steam crackers but more recently is increasingly being made “on purpose” at propane dehydrogenization (PDH) plants. As their name suggests, PDH plants remove some hydrogen (specifically, two hydrogen atoms) from propane (again, C3H8) to make propylene (C3H6). In Son of a PDH Man, we explained that the propylene molecule is significantly more reactive than propane, making it an ideal chemical building block. Propylene is used in downstream petrochemical processes to make films, packaging and synthetic fibers. About two-thirds of propylene is used to make polypropylene--one of the best-selling plastics, second only to polyethylene. Polypropylene is used extensively in automobiles and in the manufacture of packaging films, bottle caps, fiber ropes as well as bicycle helmets and disposable diapers.

Spokane weighs inmate transfers
Benton County charges $56 per person per day
Wed., Dec. 7, 2011
The Spokane City Council will consider a proposal Monday to save about $1 million a year by sending inmates to the Benton County Jail in Kennewick.
Spokane County officials are bracing for the loss of 50 or more misdemeanor prisoners to a competitor with a big price advantage.
The average daily cost of keeping an inmate in the Spokane County Jail or the Geiger Corrections Center is about $111, but Benton County will charge Spokane only $56.
The rates aren’t entirely comparable, though.
Spokane’s contract with Benton County would require it to pay any extraordinary costs, including “all costs associated with the delivery of medical, psychiatric and dental services” that can’t be handled by jail staff.
“We try to take advantage of everything we can to keep the medical costs down,” such as insurance and government programs, Benton County Undersheriff Jerry Hatcher said.
Transportation to and from Kennewick is included in the price. Hatcher said his staff already makes twice-daily prisoner trips to Spokane under contracts with the state Department of Corrections and the U.S. Marshals Service.
The 10-year contract, which can be canceled with 90-day notice, would take effect April 1. It would require Spokane to pay for at least 50 beds and allows it to send additional inmates at the $56 rate.
In future years, the price would be adjusted according to the West Coast Consumer Price Index.
Capt. John McGrath, commander of the Spokane County jail system, said Spokane has been responsible for 127 of 768 inmates in daily averages through October.
The city pays for inmates charged or convicted under city misdemeanor ordinances. The county is responsible for felonies and other cases charged under state law.
McGrath said the Sheriff’s Office charges Spokane and other cities in the county only their proportional share of jail costs under a new contract system adopted last year. This year, the daily cost is expected to be about $111 per inmate.
Hatcher said Benton County has a similar arrangement with its communities, and Spokane is getting the same price as local cities.
Spokane’s chief financial officer, Gavin Cooley, said several counties have courted the city in its search for cheaper jail space.
“There’s a tremendous glut of jail space across the state,” he said.
The 2012 budget the City Council approved Monday assumes the Benton County contract will be approved. Most council members said in interviews Tuesday that they lean in favor.
“In this budget environment, anything that saves us more than half of what we’re currently paying, we’ve got to look at,” Councilman Jon Snyder said.
Cooley said much of the Benton County Jail was built in 2003, and it has features that allow better interaction between guards and inmates.
Hatcher said Benton County built a jail big enough for future needs and has been renting out the excess space since it opened. The jail holds 739 and had 546 inmates Tuesday – including 397 from Benton County and 149 from outside jurisdictions.
It’s getting harder to find customers because of competition from other counties, including Yakima and Chelan, Hatcher said.
McGrath thinks some jails can offer lower rates because they are subsidized by their counties’ general funds. Customers, of course, don’t care if a vendor is losing money.
Spokane City Councilman Steve Corker said moving inmates to Benton County could delay the need for Spokane County to ask voters to upgrade its jail system.
Moving inmates to Benton County isn’t ideal, but the economy “is forcing us to do things that we probably wouldn’t consider otherwise,” Corker said.
McGrath thinks Spokane has only about 30 inmates, on average, who reasonably could be lodged in a jail that’s 140 miles away. City officials haven’t decided which category of inmates to send but say they would consider transferring all but those with severe medical or mental problems or those who will have only short stays.
Benton County and the city may set up a video system for some court proceedings.
“They also have provision for video interaction with both their family members and their lawyers and the court system,” said Mayor Mary Verner.
Verner said the city action wouldn’t eliminate the need to improve Spokane County’s jail and Geiger Corrections Center.
“It gives us a lower cost option for now, and it gives us more time to come up with a better jail solution,” Verner said.
Hatcher said Benton County could help by renting space to Spokane County.
“I could take 100 of their prisoners pretty easily,” he said.

It is truly one of a kind as there is only one made exactly like this!

"Only the unlearned deem myself (Vishnu) and Shiva to be distinct; he , I , and Brahma are one, assuming different names for the creation, preservation and destruction of the universe. We, as the triune Self, pervade all creatures; the wise therefore regard all others as themselves."
~ Vishnu explains the Nature of the Trinity (trimurti ~
Vishnu is one of the principal Hindu deities, worshiped as the protector and preserver of the world and restorer of dharma (moral order). He is known chiefly through his avatars (incarnations), particularly Rama, Krishna and Buddha. In theory, Vishnu manifests a portion of himself anytime he is needed to fight evil, and his appearances are innumerable; but in practice, ten incarnations are most commonly recognized.
Vishnu appears to be a prime example of how older gods and cults have been absorbed into Hinduism. Thought to be linked with an earlier sun god, Vishnu's ten incarnations may also be examples of older gods that have been amalgamated.
Vaishnavites, one of the largest Hindu groups, are the devotees of Vishnu as Ishvara, the Supreme Being, worshiped in the forms of his manifestations or incarnations. Because of his pervasive presence, images as the focus of worship are of great importance, as are temple architecture and carving.
The Ten Avatars of Lord Vishnu
Vishnu's preserving, restoring, and protecting powers have been manifested in the world in a series of ten earthly incarnations known as avatars. The avatars arrive either to prevent a great evil or to affect good upon the earth. Nine are said to have descended already: three in nonhuman form, one in hybrid form and five in human form. The most important are Rama, fearless upholder of the law of dharma and Krishna; youthful hero of the Bhagavad-Gita Vishnu's final avatar is expected to arrive at a time when the earth is at the end of its present cycle, with the purpose of destroying the world and subsequently recreating it.
Matsya the Fish - Saved humanity and the sacred Veda text from the flood.

Bronze is an extremely durable metal made from a combination of 5 metals; copper, iron, tin, with minute additions of silver and gold. This combination is called Panchaloha bronze and is the basis for making the sacred Hindu temple statues of India and the world. Copper is the most prevalent metal in the alloy. Copper also gives the metal a softer composition that allows the bronze artisans to carve the details that are prevalent in each piece. All the South Indian bronze sculpture Lotus Sculpture carries are Panchaloham and thus suited for any home altar or community temple.
Because of the durability of the metal not much is needed to maintain a bronze sculpture. Many of our customers purchase a bronze statue and perform daily puja and abhisheka consisting of bathing the Hindu deity in ghee, milk, coconut milk or other liquids. In this case nothing is needed to keep the statue clean as it will be bathed daily. If the sculpture is used for "darshan" or simply viewing the sculpture it is best to dust the statue as needed so no dirt collects in the details of the sculpture. For both polished golden bronzes and antique patina bronze statues if you would like the sculpture to shine use a cotton cloth with some coconut oil or other natural oil to wipe down the piece as needed.
Many of our bronze Hindu statues have been placed in outdoor temples. Bronze's durability makes it perfect for cold winters and hot summers of any climate. We suggest you bathe the sculpture every couple of months so that dirt does not collect on the sculpture and then use a cotton cloth with some natural oil to give the statue a shine. Both indoors and outdoors a bronze statue can be left alone which, overtime, will give the bronze an antique patina.
On some bronze statues you can see small hints of lime green, verde-gris patina. Some people prize this color for its age others want to remove it. If you would like to remove the verde-gris use a tooth brush with some coconut oil or other natural oil and lightly go over the verde-gris. This should remove the unwanted patina from the sculpture.
If you have any questions concerning your bronze statue please email us at [email protected] or call us at 1(760) 994-4455.

Being an American today means everyone is equal the same opportunities are available for every citizen of this great nation. Throughout history, people from around the world have looked to immigrate to America in search of a higher quality life and better opportunities. In the early 1600’s pilgrims found today's America as they were searching for religious freedom, from 1880 to 1920 many immigrants fled to this nation in search of greater economic opportunity (History.com). Currently, there are some varying opinions regarding immigrants in America, some citizens believe immigrants are harmful to the country. Others believe that immigrants are beneficial to America as immigration increases economic growth; with more people working tasks can
The neighborhood was a strong and significant location of economic boom after the American Civil War because of the labor force that was present during the time. Italians, Jews and most notably, African Americans, came to Harlem in order to take advantage of this economic boom by working in
As stated by Jay Parini, “We [the United States] are a nation of immigrants, a quilt of many colors” (BrainyQuote). America is the culmination of peoples and cultures from all across the world. As a seamstress adds and moves pieces while making the American quilt, each change brings different challenges and excitement to the beautiful work. One such dynamic alteration to the fabric of America was the Great Migration, in which millions of African Americans moved north, driven by opportunity. Ralph Ellison, an influential African American writer in the mid-1900s, encapsulates this massive migration experience in the journey of the Narrator in his novel, Invisible Man.
According to PBS in their article “From Indentured Servitude to Racial Slavery”, ex-indentured servants caused a threat to those higher up on the social scale than them, due to that fact that they were angry about receiving sub-par land due to the colonial restrictions on native lands. This fueled the people of this workforce to revolt against Jamestown in 1676, under the rule of Nathaniel Bacon. The long-lasting effect of Bacon’s Rebellion made the English colonizers of the New World wonder if a turn to slavery would end up being a safer and more cost-effective road for them to
Illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay in the U.S.A. and become citizens because they are heavy workers, want a better life and most importantly they contribute to the U.S. economy. Immigrants simply want to obtain an opportunity to live and work in this great country. With all this in mind it is clear that they deserve a path to citizenship. Countless people say illegal immigrants are damaging the U.S. economy; however, they are contributing immensely by paying their taxes.
First of all, Industrial Revolution had formed a very good platforms for the inventors. Therefore, many of the inventions was introduced to the public during this period of time. Every single invention had great impacts on the changing of the
The novel also shows the reader a positive aspect of immigrant life and work ethic in a part of American history that otherwise would not have shared an immigrant’s story at all. Many immigrants were coming to America from countries all over Europe durning the 18th and late 19th century. As it is in real life, Immigrant families in My Ántonia gravitated to America because of the promise of better circumstances, “…America big country; much money, much land for my boys, much husband for my girls.” (Pg. 37). Nebraska, which was mostly unsettled at the time, would of been one of the main targets for immigrants interested in pursuing the “American Dream” by settling the western frontier.
Due to industrialization and urbanization, the early 1900’s was a period of transformation in America. Industrialization had brought about many advances, some of the most profound were in the printing industry. The bindery machine was invented early in the century, and the first paperbacks were printed. Newspaper and magazine sales increased as advertising money poured in (American History Printing Association). Writing was lucrative, and for the first time, authors could make a living doing what they loved.
Under the power and jurisdiction of their masters, slaves lost their humanity and became extensions of their masters (Rauch, Sherman, & Hagel). Consequently, slaves wished to escape their cycle of subordination as presented in many non-fictional slave texts, such as in Mariano Pereira’s interview after slavery or in the Ilheus, Bahia slave treaty in 1789 (Krueger). Given that the slave could not challenge the institution with enough power to eliminate it, slaves must have sought other means to oppose the institution and gain some autonomy. Hence, primary sources become excellent texts to extract and define the form of resistances slaves utilized to oppose their masters. In Plautus’s play, Pseudolus, and Machado de Assis’s short story, The Cane, slaves used the manipulation of language, the master’s power in persuasion, and the reliance on others to wager on gaining autonomy.
Daniel J. Mitchell, the author of “The American Dream Is Alive” wrote “ The American Dream exists all across the country, from the small businesses in every town to the energy entrepreneurs that have created so many jobs...” ( 4). It confirms my belief because the authors saying how there are plenty of chances in the world for everyone to succeed on the goal they have in mind. On the contrary, those who believe the dream is not alive would say that the opportunities people encounter may not like it or choose not to pursue on a different opportunity and may not be able to pursue it. J.D Vance wrote “ … manufacturing jobs have gone overseas and middle-class jobs are harder to come by for people without college degree”(14).
Agriculture dominated the south with its ability to produce exceptional wealth for plantation owners. However, they were in need of labor and so they “made all men their slaves in hopes of recompenses.” (Doc. F) Many Englishmen brought over indentured servants from Europe who served as the foundation of the labor force for plantations. Soon enough, ¾ of the population in the south colonies were made of indentured servants.
A Brief Story of the United States Trade Unions In the United States, such as in most of other countries, agriculture played a very important role in the beginning of the enrichment decades. Native, African and White Americans were not the only ethnicities in the country by that time. Immigrants - mostly from Asia and Europe - started to arrive in the US seeking for job and the dream of wealth. Thanks for this population growth, the labor force was duplicated and the landlords realized it was time to spread their goods all over the country.
Settling in the New World provided both the American settlers and the British government with many opportunities. For the colonists, North America provided an opportunity to improve their lives and escape religious persecution. For the British, settlers in North America provided access to raw materials and new markets in which to sell finished goods. This mercantilist relationship continued for several years, until the colonists began to question Parliament’s right to treat them differently than other British citizens. Taxes were imposed on the colonists as a means of helping to pay the debt Britain had incurred fighting the French.
Illinois went experience a large degree of modernization following the World War II. Several areas in which these changes can be seen are in the efforts to assimilate war veterans back into mainstream society, the changing manufacturing business, suburban emigration of city dwellers, the modernizing education system, and continually increasing racial tension. The postwar years brought prosperity to Illinois and provided the population with many positive benefits and financial gain. However, while industries, state programs, and individual gain increased, the population experienced an increase in racial tensions. The prosperity Illinois experience made it an industrial and agricultural force during the middle of the century.
For example, Byrd would punish any slave that did not stay loyal to a monogamous relationship or if two slaves wanted to engage in a physical dispute. Brown explains that this was because these discrepancies would disrupt the attempts made to achieve a peaceful household by the planter. Not only would the planter be losing control of his dependents, it would bring question to his masculinity as to how he could possibly allow someone to virtually step in and take his place. Therefore, to ensure that the elite men stayed in control, they would get to personally know their slaves and handle any disputes himself.

Today the European Parliament’s Legal Affairs Committee (JURI) voted in favour of assuming a strong position on European anti-corruption legislation, which would oblige oil, gas, mining firms and the logging industry to report what they pay to governments in countries in which they work.
International agency Oxfam and the European Network on Debt and Development (Eurodad) welcome the MEPs’ ambitious proposal on this legislation, which would not only fight against corruption in the extractive or forestry sectors but also in others like banking, telecommunications and construction. MEPs also sent a clear signal that in three years, they want to review the EU Accounting Directive to boost transparency which could help both developing countries and EU member states to combat tax evasion and avoidance.
Catherine Olier, Oxfam’s EU overseas development expert, said:
“Today’s vote represents a real step forward in the fight against corruption and the resource curse in developing countries. MEPs have set a bold example by adopting a position that will champion the rights of the resource-rich poor by giving them project-specific information that will help them hold their governments to account. In doing this, citizens can ensure that governments collect the money owed and use it to lift them out of poverty.
“MEPs have shown that they are serious about increasing transparency in all sectors by proposing to extend the legislation to the banking, construction and telecommunication industries. This boost in transparency is desperately needed to ensure that citizens of poor countries can finally start to benefit from the resources that have cursed them for so long.”
Javier Pereira, Policy Officer at Eurodad, said:
“Despite today’s promising progress, there is still a long way to go to ensure that this legislation effectively combats issues of corruption that keep people in developing countries in a cycle of poverty. Tax dodging is not easily defeated, so companies should be required to report additional information like sales volumes, assets and profits to put their payments into context. EU governments must now raise the bar by adopting a strong proposal, which should be at least in line with the recently implemented US rules.”
Notes to Editors
In 2008 Africa’s oil, gas and minerals exports were worth roughly 9 times the value of international aid to the continent ($393 billion vs $44 billion). And yet many countries have failed to turn natural resource wealth into lasting benefits.
- $300bn - $400bn: this is the amount of money from oil extraction that has been stolen or wasted over the last 50 years in Nigeria, according to Nigeria’s corruption agency.
- $86,000: this is all that the Democratic Republic of Congo’s treasury received from mineral rights in 2006, despite an estimated $1 bn of mineral exports each year.
- Only half of the mining companies paid corporate tax in Zambia in 2008
Source: Eurodad report “Exposing the lost billions”
Examples of how ‘country by country’ reporting would help address tax dodging:
- Swiss mining company Glencore operating in Zambia (Mopani Copper Mine), page 29
- UK brewery SABMiller, operating in Ghana, page 31
Oxfam welcomed the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for finally publishing the rules, under the Dodd-Frank Act, a few weeks ago. These rules will provide important information to investors and citizens and help stem corruption in resource-rich countries. Citizens will be able to use this information to hold their governments accountable. The new US law requires over 1,100 oil, gas and mining companies – including many European-based companies such as Shell, BP and Total – to report how much they are paying not only at the country level but for specific local projects.

You want a stunning smile that gives you the confidence to express yourself. Porcelain veneers are an effective way to achieve that goal because they can make your teeth look whiter, straighter, and better-proportioned. Due to the popularity of this cosmetic dentistry service, patients frequently ask us, “How much do porcelain veneers cost?”
Veneers are not a one-size-fits-all treatment, meaning the price varies significantly between patients. It’s difficult to provide you with a cost estimate without meeting with you in person to evaluate your specific case. Dr. Keith Ogawa will happily discuss the amount that you can expect to pay for porcelain veneers during your in-office consultation.
Factors That Affect The Price of Veneers
Though the price tag for veneers varies, several universal factors impact the amount that you can expect to pay, including:
- Material: Not all dental veneers are created equal. Several different materials are used to make these restorations, the most common being porcelain and composite resin.
Porcelain veneers are made of a dental ceramic that has several advantages over composite material. For example, veneers made of porcelain tend to look the most natural, since they mimic the enamel of natural teeth. Additionally, they have superior stain-resistance.
Porcelain veneers are often the longest lasting and strongest option. However, porcelain veneers usually cost a bit more than their composite counterparts. Dr. Ogawa chooses to exclusively offer porcelain veneers because of their benefits.
- Quality: Just as veneers can differ in terms of material, they can also be set apart by their quality. Dr. Ogawa is committed to providing you with the highest quality of veneers. He partners with a reputable dental lab to ensure your veneers meet strict standards.
- Number of veneers: The number of veneers needed to correct aesthetic dental concerns varies between patients. If you have an isolated issue such as a chipped tooth, you may only require one veneer. If your concerns span multiple teeth, Dr. Ogawa will likely suggest several veneers.
- Treatments needed to become a candidate: Ideal veneer candidates must have good oral health. If you have gum disease or another concern, Dr. Ogawa will need to treat that issue before proceeding with cosmetic services.
If you require any general dentistry treatments in order to be eligible for veneers, you should factor those services into your total cost. However, keep in mind that general dentistry treatments are often covered in part by insurance.
- Your choice of dentist: The skill and experience of your dentist can affect the cost of your treatments. Services performed by an experienced, highly trained dentist like Dr. Ogawa may cost more than those performed by someone with less training. While Dr. Ogawa knows that cost is an important consideration when pursuing dental treatment, he believes that achieving beautiful, life-changing results is priceless.
Dr. Ogawa has over 25 years of dental experience. He received advanced dental training at LVI, the most prestigious post-graduate institute. Furthermore, Dr. Ogawa only sees one patient at a time, allowing him to provide you with his unhurried, individualized attention. He looks forward to helping you enhance your smile with porcelain veneers.

For most North Americans who come to Taiwan it can be a bit of a strange feeling seeing how excited Taiwanese people get when they talk about how large and beautiful their 7.93 km² Sun Moon Lake (日月潭) is even when the smallest of our Great Lakes, Lake Ontario is 18,960 km² in comparison.
That being said, everything is relative. The Great Lakes are polluted and are frozen nine months of the year, and as all arguments like this go: Size isn't Everything.
Sun Moon Lake is majestic and even though its not actually that big, its easy to see why it is the pride of Taiwanese people from every part of the country.
Oddly enough, Sun Moon Lake is so popular that it also appears on one of the pages of the most recent version of the passport of the People's Republic of China (not to be confused with the Republic of China) despite it not even being within the territory that it actually governs.
That is almost tantamount to Canada having Mount Rushmore in our passport. Nevertheless, that whole predicament is an argument for another day.
The lake is situated in Taiwan's Nantou County (南投縣) and is surrounded by mountains on all sides.
Nantou happens to be one of my favourite places in Taiwan as its one of the most scenic areas for hiking with the Alishan scenic area (阿里山國家風景區) and the Yushan National Park (玉山國家公園.)
The county is directly in the middle of the country and gives easy access to some of the highest points of Taiwan's Central Mountain Range (中央山脈) with 41 of Taiwan's 100 mountains which have peaks over 3000 meters high.
The lake is considered holy land and the area surrounding it is home to the “Thao” (邵族), one of Taiwan's Indigenous tribes which has unfortunately become one of Taiwan's smallest remaining (recognized) indigenous groups.
Like many other indigenous groups in Taiwan who are still unrecognized by the central government, it took far too long for the Thao people to actually get the recognition they deserved when it came to their home and their claim that Sun Moon Lake is part of their holy land.
Over the past century, they have had to endure the Japanese occupation which considered all indigenous groups “savages” and then the latter half of the century with the Chinese Nationalists who did their best to “sinicize” all of Taiwan’s indigenous people by forcing them to learn Mandarin and changing their way of life.
They fortunately received recognition in 2001 as one of Taiwan’s ten different ethnic indigenous groups and the population has slowly started to rise due to efforts to preserve the culture.
Lalu island (拉魯島), a small island in the middle of the lake is especially important to the Thao people, but has been used in the past as a popular place for weddings by other ethnic groups who came to the island.
Even more unfortunate is that the island has suffered over the past century due to the construction of a dam that raised the water levels in the lake and the effects of the devastating earthquake on September 21st 1999 (九二一大地震) which rocked central Taiwan and wreaked massive destruction.
Since the cooling of hostilities between the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the People’s Republic of China (China) tourism has become a major source of income for the area and what was once a very relaxing and peaceful area to visit has now become laden with development and littered with tourists who take boat rides across the lake ultimately causing a lot of pollution.
When I first visited the lake years ago I thought it was a perfect escape from the bustling cities in the north. You could sit on the board walk and watch the sun rise or the sun set in perfect quiet.
When I visited this time however every five meters that I walked I was asked by somebody if I wanted a boat ride, which made me feel like I was touring somewhere in South East Asia.
The lake itself, despite all of this however is still beautiful. I visited on Christmas, and while most Canadians oddly wish for a white Christmas, I was perfectly happy with my colourful Christmas with the emerald green waters of the lake, the blue sky and the green mountains that surround it. It was also a nice escape from the weather in the north of Taiwan which at the time was pretty dreary.
I didn’t have much time during this visit to Sun Moon Lake as I was just stopping by for a few hours before making my way up into to the mountains. I did have a nice walk around half of the lake and had an excellent view of the lake from the Starbucks by the boardwalk.
I sincerely hope that the Taiwanese central government and the Nantou county government has the foresight to curb some of the development around the lake and do more to preserve the pristine beauty of the area so that future generations can enjoy it as much as we do now.
If you have a chance to visit Taiwan, make sure Sun Moon Lake and Nantou is on your list of places to visit.

We are delighted to announce that our fourth and ultimately final album has been unleashed upon this world. We have spent these past 8 months working away on these 15 (technically 16) songs, and fruition has arrived. We set you free, Chameleon sessions...
If you follow us on Facebook, then you have seen our daily introductions to all of the brilliant guest artists who were so generous to help us out with many of the songs on Chameleon Sessions.
To recap, here is a list of those wonderful artists who contributed:
(in alphabetical order)
This project has been a blast, we have thoroughly enjoyed it on every level. We thank you for taking a chance and exploring these songs and we hope that you have enjoyed the journey with us.
All the best to you from Famous Groupies!
Well, as we wrap up the fourth and possibly final Famous Groupies album, I thought it best to update our current status. Below you will find a chalkboard chalk full of songs (pun intended). There have been a few additions and subtractions since we began sorting song selection and recording, but we feel that this collection is the right chemistry for the Chameleon Sessions album.
I must add that for those songs we have removed from the original song list, not to worry - they won't go to waste. Those songs will be given away freely to those who pre-order the album between now its and release date -which will be later this month (August). Bonus songs -as it were. A few alt mixes will be given out as well.
There are quite a few guest artists on this record and I plan on sharing those names just prior to the albums release. Its just more fun that way. Many talented friends joined in to add their own magic and make this record very special indeed.
Thanks again for all of your support and we will see you soon!

What is Carisoprodol?
Soma is the Carisoprodol brand name under which it is a popular muscle relaxant. The medication helps people with strain, sprain, or injury to manage their musculoskeletal pain. FDA approves Carisoprodol only for a short-term use up to two or three weeks.
The analgesic effects of the medication start within half an hour and typically last for six hours. Carisoprodol is an oral medication approved only for oral administration in the form of conventional tablets.
Carisoprodol drug class:
the medication belongs to the drug class of muscle relaxants. However, specialists say that Carisoprodol is more of an analgesic than a muscle relaxant as the medicine acts on the brain to relieve pain from muscle injuries rather than acting like typical muscle relaxants.
In the United States, Carisoprodol got approved for medical use in the year 1959. You can buy Carisoprodol online both in generic and brand name medications.
It is the only muscle relaxant that is a controlled substance under schedule IV by the Drug Enforcement Administration. Carisoprodol is a widely used medication in the United States, with more than 2 million prescriptions written every year.
How Carisoprodol treats muscle pain?
Carisoprodol mechanism of action tells that it is a GABAergic medication. It has a rapid onset of work, with its effects lasting for about six hours. It gets metabolizes by the liver via some enzymes and gets excreted by the kidneys.
The medication has a half-life of about eight hours for an average adult. A significant part of the Carisoprodol gets metabolized into meprobamate, a common drug of abuse.
Meprobamate plays a considerable role in the effects of Carisoprodol. The drug is slightly soluble in water and freely soluble in ethanol and acetone.
What is the daily Carisoprodol dosage for an average adult?
The daily Carisoprodol dosage for an average adult depends on the severity of the condition for which a doctor is prescribing the medication, age of the person, and many other factors.
Order Carisoprodol online and seek counsel from your doctor about the personalized dosage schedule of Carisoprodol. The standard dosage are below:
For mild to acute skeletal muscle pain:
Initial dose: 250 mg to 350 mg every four to six hours as required
Dose increase: A doctor may increase the dose to achieve desired results
Note: Do not use Carisoprodol for more than two to three weeks as the FDA does not approve its use for the long-term. Additionally, the skeletal muscle pain conditions do not last for more than that period.
What are the side effects of Carisoprodol?
The most frequently occurring Carisoprodol side effects include:
- Inability to sleep
These are some common effects that go away in a few days. However, Carisoprodol may have adverse effects like dependence, severe allergic reactions, hives, abuse, and overdose.
Can Carisoprodol cause high?
Carisoprodol can produce high, especially when mixed with other sedatives such as alcohol or opioids. Carisoprodol 350 mg high is more potent as it is a higher strength of the medication, and it releases a more significant dose of meprobamate in the body.
Meprobamate is the main reason why Carisoprodol produces a high, dependence, and addiction. People who abuse Carisoprodol generally take the higher strength tablets along with alcohol.
What is Carisoprodol overdose?
A person can have Carisoprodol overdose if they take more than the prescribed amount of the dose or abuse it in some other way. The overdose of the medication generally produces central nervous system depression.
The manifestations of Carisoprodol overdose include:
- Respiratory depression
- Blurred vision
- Muscular incoordination
- Muscle rigidity
- Dystonic reactions
The overdose often occurs in the presence of other substances such as drugs of abuse, alcohol, and other illegal drugs. The effects of overdoses of these drugs become additive even if you are taking Carisoprodol at the recommended doses. Fatal intentional and unintentional overdoses of Carisoprodol got reported alone or in combination with other central nervous system depressants.

During the past four years, Kailyn Chun has made a lot of kimchee.
“I had to make kimchee with 50 pounds of cabbage, four times a week,” she says with a laugh about her time creating the fermented dish at the Ma Dang Goul (MDG) Korean restaurant in Vancouver.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
While Chun’s formal introduction to kimchee-crafting actually started before she got married, with her mom teaching her the craft in their home kitchen, once she began overseeing the operations at Ma Dang Goul, her experience with the traditional side dish was increased. Exponentially.
“The biggest batch I had made was a four-litre bucket,” Chun says of her previous experience. “Kimchee was the most popular side dish in the restaurant and people always asked for refills two or three times in one sitting — sometimes 50 pounds of cabbage didn’t last even three days.
Kimchee is made with salted and fermented vegetables, such as Korean radish and napa cabbage, that are first soaked in a briny solution and then mixed with seasonings such as garlic, chili pepper and other ingredients. While napa cabbage kimchee is considered to be a classic, according to Chun, there are more than 150 kinds of kimchee from different regions in Korea. The unique blend of ingredients make each batch of kimchee its own. But, one thing that’s consistent with each offering of kimchee is its status as a celebrated superfood thanks to the presence of “healthy bacteria” in the dish due to the fermentation of the vegetables, as well as probiotics and Vitamins A, B and C.
While common — it can be found on many menus and in a wide variety of dishes in Korean cuisine and beyond — crafting the perfect kimchee can be a lesson in patience, and perseverance.
“It truly is hard work because there are a lot of steps. If you do it the proper way, it takes about six hours to soak cabbages in salt,” Chun says. “The amount of salt is really important as well because only the right amount will get you the right flavour and gets properly fermented. It is also tricky to balance all spices because any one flavour cannot stand out in good kimchee. Having too much of one ingredient will also affect the shelf life, texture, taste, bacteria and vitamin level of kimchee and could delay or speed up the fermentation period.”
The level of difficulty, according to Chun, is making the act of creating kimchee a bit of a dying culinary art.
“Many people, including the young Korean generation, don’t make kimchee anymore because there is a lot of preparation to be done and it’s difficult to keep good balance in taste,” she says. “There is no recipe for a perfect kimchee, it is achieved over time and with many tries.”
At first, Chun says the kimchee she crafted at Ma Dang Goul failed to “get any attention.”
“Sometimes, I would put too much radish and end up with too much juice. The next time I wanted less juice, so I put more chili pepper and it turned out too spicy. Then I added more sugar to reduce the spiciness and the kimchee ended up really sticky and mushy,” she says.
But, after a few months of trial-and-error, playing with the recipe to get it just right, Chun says she ‘mastered’ a kimchee recipe that became a big hit with the restaurant’s regulars.
“We had many regular customers from all over the Lower Mainland who came to buy kimchee on regular basis,” she says. “At one point, we had to stop selling them because I couldn’t keep up with the demand.”
At first, Chun planned to open an online shop just for the kimchee, but she ended up leaving the restaurant altogether to start a new business. And that business is why Chun is about to make a whole lot more kimchee in the coming years.
Chun is the mastermind behind the new small-batch kimchee company called Salty Cabbage. Made at Coho Commissary on Powell Street with fresh produce largely sourced from local grocery stores, the company aims to offer “authentic Korean kimchee” that takes the dish above and beyond what can typically be found among store-bought options.
“We pick up fresh produce just before we make a new batch and we go for local produce whenever they are available. Every batch is hand-chopped and hand-mixed and there are no additives and preservatives used in our products,” Chun says. “We do use sugar, but only a minimal amount. We maximize natural sweetness by using apple, pear, radish and onion.
“If you read the labels on store-bought kimchee, you might see names that you are not familiar with. Read any of our products labels, even preschool kids will know exactly what we put in the jar. And, because we use lots of vegetables, fruits and natural spices, it stays crispy and refreshing after it gets fermented.”
According to Chun, MDG is under new ownership and doesn’t use Salty Cabbage kimchee, but many of her fans from the restaurant have already taken to her new creations.
“It’s amazing to get those kinds of support and love when you run a startup business,” she says.
In addition to boasting a fresh flavour, Chun says people are appreciative of the modern packaging, which was designed by Glasfurd and Walker, that the kimchee comes bottled in.
“We wanted to show people that kimchee could look modern and trendy while keeping the authentic taste,” Chun says. “It is … unlike other packaging in stores with boring pictures that remind you of Korea in the ’60s.”
Salty Cabbage boasts three different kinds of kimchee — Classic Napa, Radish and White Kimchi, as well as a vegan option.
“Our vegan kimchee has the same crisp texture and all the aroma you could get from regular kimchee,” she says. “It could also be a great alternative for people looking for less sodium in fermented vegetables since it does not contain fish sauce and shrimp paste.”
Salty Cabbage products are currently available at select local grocery stores, including Meinhardt Fine Foods, The Federal Store Luncheonette & Grocer, and West Wood Organics, as well as online at saltycabbagekimchi.com. The products are also being used at several restaurants in the city, including Sing Sing Beer Bar and the Blackbird Public House.
While Chun says she plans to increase availability in the future, she’s not looking to grow the business too quickly.
“I value quality over quantity, so knowing how much I can produce to maintain the good quality is very important,” she says of the strategy.
And, in the meantime, Chun will be busy in the commissary, mixing up her next Salty Cabbage kimchee combination. One big batch at a time.
“My favourite part is mixing all ingredients together in a large stainless bowl,” she says. “It’s a huge arm workout and leaves my shoulder sore every night, but the aroma makes me hungry. Every time.”

But at least it's something you can song-drop in your playlists to make them instantly more badass.
VILDHJARTA, also a band you can't even talk about with your friends in real life. On gchat, maybe. On blogs, of course. It's technical and mathy and the production is very polished; I want more bands like this! Their music videos are kind of dumb unless you really like trees. But hell, they're on Century Media, so I don't blame 'em. Anyway their debut album came out a month or so ago; the whole album is good, but here's the opening track:
I kind of liked them better when they were instrumental, though. Because seriously, when I want to hear something that's just ripping off Meshuggah anyway, I'll usually put on something instrumental like Cloudkicker:
It takes about 3 min to get to the djenty part. You know, the syncopated rhythms and "wait this is really 4/4 but why do the time signatures feel so weird?" part. Meshuggah invented that feeling. But that doesn't mean I can't listen to 100 other bands trying to get it right.
