Yes he does… no he doesn’t…

After a number of tests in NYC Jose Reyes says that his condition is basically a “mild and perhaps temporary case of hyperthyroidism,” which may not even require any treatment at all and he could be creared to play baseball within the next 24 to 48 hours.

He was also quoted as saying he’s been all but cleared by the doctors checking him out in NYC. He told ESPN “The specialists who took care of me in New York have told me that I’m fine and that there’s nothing wrong with my thyroid… We just have to wait for the results of the additional test. The [doctors] found inflammation in my throat and no medicine to treat the thyroid or any other condition has been prescribed.”

All good news right?

So, of course, the Mets have totally different information.

Mets GM Omar Minaya was quoted as saying that Reyes DOES have “elevated thyroid levels,” and while Reyes supposedly told ESPN different, the team is still waiting on addtional test results, and THOSE results will pretty much dictate when Reyes returns to baseball action.

Minaya went on to say that we has spoken to Reyes Agent (Peter Greenberg), and team doctors but not to Reyes himself. He also said that “everyone is on the same page.”

Well, obviously not there Omar.

So, once again we seem to have a gap in communication between the Mets, medical staff and the player. What a shock.

What else does Mets management need to do to show there is a necessary change required? Wear t-shirts that say “I’m with stupid?”

This is getting out of hand guys. It seems this sort of this is just commenplace. It’s embarrasing. It really is.

Keys to the Citi

Wow. What a difference a week makes.

Last week the Mets had managed splits in their two games series with the Braves and Nationals… after losing four straight to the Marlins. They had lost nine out of eleven and looked to be in a mess of trouble as they fell seven games behind the front running Phillies. A six game homestand with the Mighty Yankees and those hated Phillies loomed. Things looked like they were about to spiral out of control.

Seven days later, the Mets have won five straight and went 5-1 against two of the best teams in the majors. They didn’t just win… they looked GOOD. Contender good. Playing hard, looking solid, being smart, taking advantage of the other team’s mistakes good.

And as a result they have picked up five games in the standings and are just two games back.

More amazingly, the Mets didn’t give up a single run in the three game sweep of Philadelphia. Three straight shutouts of their hated rivals including seven masterful inning by The Big Pelf, Mike Pelfrey, who stands at 7-1 with a 2.54 ERA.

So… who is this team? The incredible contenders who play like winners at home, treating the Braves, Dodgers, Yankees and Phillies like cannon fodder? Or the not-quite-loverable losers on the road who have battled, but lost constantly to the Marlins, Nationals, Rockies and Cardinals as visitors?

In any case, the team seems much better off with R. A. Dickey and Hisanori Takahashi in the starting rotation in place of Oliver Perez and John Maine. With Jose Reyes and Jason Bay seemingly out of early season slumps and consistant play from the regulars, the Mets have been playing inspired, having won six out of seven and looking to break the losing trend on the road with the Brewers this weekend.

It be a true contender, this team MUST win games on the road. Hopwever, for now, having the best home record in Major League Baseball and sending the defending NL Champs home with their tails between their legs is cause for some celebration and smiles.

Cano Makes it Hard to Miss A-Rod

The news over the weekend that Alex Rodriguez was going on the DL would worry a number of teams, but for the Yankees it seemed almost like a “Hhhm? What? Oh yeah, ok.” sort of reaction.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure the team would much rather have their slugging 3rd Baseman -playing everyday, but in his absence, their 2nd baseman has picked up any slack and continues a spectacular season.

Robinson Cano has put together the type of season the Yankees have envisioned over the last couple of years. Reports of Cano’s lack of focus and maturity issues seemed to dog the young 2nd baseman and a number of people wondered if the trade of Melkey Cabrara was partly to ensure the removal of Cano’s “partner in crime” which would in tourn help him be more consistant and baseball minded.

Perhaps the absence of Cabrara has played a part, perhaps not. In any case, Cano’s numbers have lifted his stature from a solid player in the upper percentage of the league’s Second Basemen, to perhaps the best player at the position in all of Major League Baseball.

His number are sweet: .325 batting average, 25 home runs, 86 rbi, 45 walkss and 58 strike outs in 477 at-bats. Even his errors are down. He’s already tied his 2009 final number in home runs and actually has one more rbi than all of last year. His strike outs are a little above past seasons but not by a lot and his overall production is very elevated to the point that Cano will get some MVP consideration.

The Yankees are known for being a slugging team, with A-Rod and Mark Teixeria being the main names on the big bopper list and Jorge Posada, Curtis Granderson and Nick Swisher being the next ones in line in a lot of fans’ minds. Posada’s age, health and decrease in production and Granderson’s weak season play a factor in a change here, but even if they were putting up numbers like in the past, I think Cano really has to be looked at as one of the most dangerous hitters on the team, perhaps only really behind Teixeria at this point.

It will be interesting to see how Cano handles the role of big bat once the playoff crunch gets here, but so far his season has given the Yankees reason to believe they have a powerhouse in the lineup for years to come.

Craft Room Update

I know, sorry there aren't any pictures, but I really think I am going to wait until I am compleltly done with decorating before I show it off. Plus, I still have LOTS of organizing and work to do on getting it how I want it. I have to say Haley, you are right... he doesn't have to like it! It's MY room to be creative, and he never goes in there anyways. I must say thought, it does look AWESOME!

I can't remember who else said that they have the same cubbies and desk area (too lazy to look back through comments), but it is the best thing I could have asked for. I mean I am using the exact same amount of space in the room, if not less, but I now have tons of storage. 35 cubbies to be exact. Thats a lot of room to fill stuff up in. I ended up going with the 5 tall ones, I didn't realize till I got there that the 4 was just so short. I absolutly love it!

Anyways, I found somethings that I completly forgot I had and I REALLY look forward to working with them. I also got a reminder of all of my unfinished projects. BOOOO... I have a HUGE denium rag quilt to finish and also have a very large quilt that I need to keep working on for my mom to maybe finish it for Christmas.

Ok, well enough about that. I had a great weekend and look forward to sharing it with all of you once I am done with it. Until then, I might be able to start doing some crafting for the room since I now have a semi-organized space. I can't wait to start doing crafts again. For now... back to work. I have to go shoot some training video stuff in 50 minutes. If you want to see me in my You Tube day view for work go here.

  1. Like maybe a sneak peak picture?! LOL 35 Cubies! That is so many! Oh you are going to LOVE it! So excited for you!

What's the sand in your sandbox?

I was picking up my son from the daycare when I realized something. It took me for a round trip to the days I started at Jolla.

It was early July 2012. I was very excited about everything I had learned about the company over those few months preceding my hire. I was looking at non-hierarchical and self-organized group of talented people; teeming of can-do-attitude, and plenty of enthusiasm to match. With very lean ways of working, Jolla was about to play ball with the big guys. It felt amazing, and I was all game.

I'm a person who lives to do things. I love to study things by taking them apart. Every disassembled object has a story to tell, and those stories feed my obsession to learn and understand how everything works. When other kids at daycare played with their toys, I had a bag full of broken household appliances and power tools to disassemble. As a courtesy of my parents. Otherwise I would've taken apart something that actually worked, much to the horror of my daycare teacher.

Countless dismantled things later, Jolla was the perfect do-all-you-can buffet for me. It was very informal and open 24/7. Everything in that buffet was optimized for doing things together. So many things to take apart an learn from. We all had done mobile operating system work before. This time we just had to do it with a fraction of the manpower, without any hierarchy and management overhead. And the best way to do that, is getting your hands dirty with it. Explore, play, take stuff apart and and put back together. Don't be afraid of mistakes, instead love them for guiding you.

I realized Sailfish OS was the sand in my sandbox. Days on end, I went in to make sense out of things. It was important to work closely with developers, so there was just us and the sand. No matter how long it took, we would keep our hands deep in the sand. It was wonderful that nobody cared if I had sand all over me. Learning and understanding was more important.

I climbed out of my car and closed the door. My son was waiting me at the daycare gate with a big smile - all covered in sand. He doesn't mind the mess. Because it doesn't qualify as one for him. Instead it represents an exiting interaction; a freedom to do anything he wishes. It dawned on me that some people have learned to avoid getting sand on them. For those, I have a secret to share: you can unlearn it.

Learn to tolerate that the sand is messy. It's the purpose of the sand to be all over the place. It's up to you to mold and craft it to whatever you wish. No right or wrong way exist. The only rule there is: you can't make great products without getting sand on yourself. Your ability to do amazing things is only backed up by your relationship with the sand.

So take a look at your sandbox. Whatever it is that sand represents for you, get to know it again. Don't be afraid to get some of it on yourself. Take a look how kids do it. They don't see a mess. They see fun.

So should you. It's time to reconnect with the sand again, just like back in your childhood. Smile follows naturally.

Thanks for reading and see you in the next post. In the meantime, agree or disagree, debate or shout. Bring it on and spread the word.

Welcome to Jackie's Craftroom

Welcome to my blog. A place for me to share my love of cardmaking, scrapbooking and bug covers with all my friends. Take a look around and see what I have been creating. I am a member of the Cricut MB, it is almost an addiction ;)
I love designing and making cards, dabble in scrapbooking and make the original reversible covers for all types of crafting gadgets.

My Happy Place = My Craft Room :)

I Will Not Conform

I will not conform The last few days I have been having some deep thoughts about many things – GOD, Armageddon, Anonymous, New World Order, The Bible, etc…I was thinking about the recent shooting at the school in Sandy Hook, how the Government wants to take away firearms, which I could go back and forth on each side of the issue. Weapons are dangerous period but at the same time, when there are crazy people in the world you want to protect your family and yourself.

Anyway, all my life I have been different. I have never liked playing by the rules of any kind, of course I aint out to harm anyone or any craziness like that, I just dont like rules or given orders BY ANYONE.

That is why I am an Entrepreneur and as an Business Woman I like to do my own thing and be self-sufficient. I would like to run my own farm, grow my own fruits and vegetables and run my own water and electricity and not depend on the government or society for anything. I have been looking at books like that for years. Underground books, underground societies. Now, even more so society itself is getting difficult to live in, with the new world order (as prophesied in The Bible) is coming into play and plans to turn the already sheeple 98% of the world who work the 9-5s and are already enslaved into the system into robots. An actual Matrix if you will. I know, it sounds crazy but its very true.

Now talking about GOD and The Bible, GOD I think basically states everything is black and white, there is no gray area. So because I dont want to follow the governments specific agenda, Agenda 21 actually 😉 does that make me a devil worshiper? I dont think so but only GOD can and will decide my fate. But I refuse to conform in a society I never believed in in the first place. I am not a sheep. I am NOT for Satan. I have read plenty of scriptures to understand what GOD wants. I was a Jehovah Witness at one time in my life and truthfully believe that is the most accurate religion when it comes to The Bible that I have read. I do fear GOD and my destiny but I will take what is dealt to me because I refuse to given to this madness that will be upon us. Why I am saying this, is The Bible states to follow the governed laws that we are given. New World Order will be one of them.

Its funny that during the Presidential Election people were arguing over who is the better President – Romney or Obama but the reality is they both have the same destiny towards bringing in Agenda 21 into progression. The Election is just a blinder, give people something else to look at aside from whats really going on. Democrat or Republican, you’re still fucking screwed. Yeah, you may think Im fucking crazy, but I aint the sheep here believing everything I see and read in the media. I learned that after 911 and living in Mexico. You really dont know shit whats going on. If you cant listen to me about working for yourself and making your own money and you decide how much your worth, then how the fuck are you supposed to listen to me otherwise? But continue…I have tons of proof. Plus the biggest thing is I went on UN’s website and their page on Agenda 21 they had taken down because more and more people are now becoming aware of what is going on.

Big Brother is watching us everywhere. Its kind of hard being a Public Figure such as a business person but at the same time, being different and following my own path I still will speak my mind. That, is why I have this blog, as you can see. Big Brother uses Facebook to know what you are doing daily. That is why we have identity such as social security cards, drivers licenses etc…I am not a conspiracy theorist, there is more strange shit that they are trying to keep from us. But if you want to call me that, go ahead. Again, I aint the sheep here.

As an Industrialist I plan to earn enough money to get out of this system that they are planning for us and build my own homestead. I will own a gun and/or another defense weapon, learn street fighting and karate. Once NWO hits, it will be about Survival. It would be in everyones best interest to carve their own way as well. The world will be at an end as well, we all dont know, so dont believe that 12-21-12 Mayan shit. Because again, The Bible states WE DO NOT KNOW! Open your mind.

Stand up for what is right even if you are standing alone

By Jennifer-Lynn D'Anna

It is a few hours later. JENNIFER and ABBY are sitting on the sofa reading a book. JENNIFER is not concentrating very well and keeps glancing over to the door, for JACK has been gone for several hours.

ABBY and JENNIFER: (flipping the last page) And they lived happily ever after.

ABBY: Kind of like you and Daddy, huh?

JENNIFER: (smiling) Well, that depends.

ABBY: (leaning back into the sofa) Are you going to wear white?

JENNIFER: White? (laughing) Baby, what are you talking about?

ABBY: When you and Daddy get married again...are you doing to wear white? My friend Jessica said you can't because you've been married before but she said you might be able to because you were married to Daddy before.

JENNIFER: You know what I think? I think that Jessica and (touching ABBY'S nose) Abigail think about this way too much. What ever happened to worrying about math homework?

ABBY: Oh, we worry about that too.

JENNIFER playfully musses her hair and then gets up to gather up their glasses left over from cookies and milk. Her back is turned when JACK walks in the front door and she doesn't hear him.

ABBY: Mommy?

JENNIFER: Yes, baby?

ABBY: You do want to marry him, don't you? You want to marry Daddy again, right?

JENNIFER turns to her, clearly rattled by the question. In the foyer, JACK is intrigued by her reluctance to answer. He hides behind the corner to hear more.

ABBY: You do love him, don't you?

JENNIFER: (sitting down and putting her arm around her) Of course I love him, but...

ABBY: Then why don't you get married? Why can't we have a wedding and a baby brother?

JENNIFER: Well...we's just it takes time, honey. Daddy and I just got back to the point where...wait a second, I thought I said to quit worrying about this.

ABBY: I know, but...

JACK doesn't like the turn of events so he decides to step back and pretend like he just came in.

JACK: (loudly) Whew, it's really coming down out there! (taking off his coat and looking in the living room where JENNIFER and ABBY are looking at him) Hello ladies. Having a little tete-a-tete, are we?

ABBY: We are.

JENNIFER: Hi Jack. (tentative because he may have heard them) Did you get what you needed to done?

JACK: As well as it could be. (sitting down on the chair) So, what's the word of the day-are we talking hair or makeup or both? Ah, what are we reading (picking up the book)...Gone With the Wind? War and Peace? Oh, Beauty and the Beast. You do know this was written about your mother and me, don't you?

ABBY: (laughing) No, it wasn't.

JENNIFER: (not liking the way he's trying to avoid eye contact with her) You know what, baby, we've got a long night ahead of us, ringing in the New Year and all. Why don't you run upstairs and get Theodore ready for the festivities?

ABBY: Good idea. (hopping off the couch) Maybe I can put him in the new outfit Cousin Julie got me.

JENNIFER: (laughing) How 'bout we stick to bear clothes?

ABBY: (sighing and climbing up the stairs) If I must.

After she leaves, JACK picks up the book again from the table.

JACK: I don't suppose I could talk you into climbing in my lap and reading a story with me, could I?

JENNIFER: Right now I wouldn't touch you with a ten foot pole.

JACK: Hey, what did I do?

JENNIFER: (storming into the kitchen) You know exactly what you did!

JACK: (getting up. To himself) You're right, I do. I just hope you don't. (sighing and loosening his tie, he walks into the kitchen)

JENNIFER is storming around the kitchen, pulling together their New Year's food. JACK walks in and assesses the situation while leaning on a kitchen chair. Finally, he speaks.

JENNIFER: (turning to face him) So?

JACK: So are you going to tell me what I've done or am I going to have to stand here and guess?

JENNIFER: (laughing sarcastically) You really don't know, do you?

JACK: Hence the look of confusion.

JENNIFER: When am I going to learn? I start to believe that things are looking up and-

JACK: They are looking up.

JENNIFER: (throwing the dishtowel at him) Correction, they were looking up.

JACK: (grabbing the dishtowel at the last moment) Now she resorts to violence. (beat) I take it your not very happy.

JENNIFER: Unhappy is an understatement.

JACK: Will you...will you PLEASE tell me what's going on? I'm not a mind reader, you know. I leave that to Desiree.

JENNIFER: Desire. (realizing what he just said, she tries to stifle her laughter) How do you do that?

JACK: How do I do what?

JENNIFER: Get me to stop and remember why I fell in love with you in the first place.

JACK: (stepping forward and wrapping his arm around her waist as he breaks into a relieved smile) Well, I guess I do have a knack for it (nuzzling her neck)

JENNIFER: No, Jack, feels so good, but-(pushing him away) I really am mad at you.

JACK: (upset but moving on) Why?

JACK: Why as in the reason you are mad at me, not the letter after X and before Z.

JENNIFER: It's starting again-you're running around keeping secrets, I know it. My father suddenly shows up, you're speaking in hushed tones-

JACK: I have never spoken in hushed tones.

JENNIFER: (throwing him a look), the phone calls from Oliver.

JACK: (alarmed) W...wait...the phone calls from Oliver? You didn't tell me about any phone calls from Oliver.

JENNIFER: Um...I was waiting until-

JACK: You were trying to get to the bottom of it, weren't you? By God, there is some investigative reporter left in you yet.

JENNIFER: This is not the time for jokes, Jack.

JACK: No, no, it's not. It's far from it. What did Oliver say?

JENNIFER: He was just asking about you, wanting to know if I'd heard from my father.

JACK: (grabbing her arms in alarm) What did you tell him?

JENNIFER: I...I told him no, of course. I didn't know my dad was showing up for Christmas. (noticing his nervousness) It's really bad, isn't it?

JACK: (breaking and pacing nervously) It...listen...I

JENNIFER: Will you just tell me?

JACK: (thick with emotion) I can't. (stopping and meeting her eyes) I can't.

JENNIFER: Yes, you can. I know you can.

JACK: It's too dangerous.

JENNIFER: Like I'm not in danger now. Jack, I already know that you're helping my father and that he's in some kind of trouble. Tell me...(quietly) for us.

There is a brief silence as he thinks hard about what she just said.

JACK: For us?

JENNIFER: For us, Jack. I can't go on like this...we can't go on like this. If we have any hope for our future, we have to be able to tell one another the truth.

JACK: (mulling it over) What if, after I tell you, we won't have a future?

JENNIFER: But we will, Jack (taking his hand). We will.

JACK: How can you be so sure?

JENNIFER: How could I not? And if you ever get enough courage to pull that ring out of your pocket and ask me, you'd know that the answer would be yes.

JACK: (embarrassed) You know about that, huh?

JENNIFER: You're not the only sleuth around here, remember?

JACK: (fighting back tears of joy) I remember.

JENNIFER: So, Jack, what's it going to be? Are we facing this, whatever it is, together?

JACK: (thinking about it for a minute and then smiling as if a huge weight is taken off his shoulder) I wouldn't want it any other way.

JENNIFER stands on her tiptoes and kisses him.

JACK: (while kissing) Any other way...

JACK: (getting lost in the kissing) You know, I could get used to this. Is this what happens when you tell the truth?

JENNIFER: (breaking away and smiling) No, it's much, much more-(sighing) Okay, Jack, what's going on?

JACK: Well, you were kissing me and I was clearly enjoying it....(face dropping). Oh, you mean the aforementioned danger, don't you?

JACK: (clearing his throat and pulling a chair out for her) sit.

JENNIFER: I'd rather stand.

JACK: I'd rather you sit....(weakly) please.

JENNIFER sinks into the chair as JACK begins to pace.

JACK: You're not going to like what I have to say.

JENNIFER: I don't care. It's the fact that you're saying it that matters.

JACK: (leaning on the counter) Is it really, though? I know you said it is but I...I can't help wondering if what I say will do more harm than good.

JACK: (pausing for what seems like an eternity and only speaking after looking at her lovingly) You're right. This has to be for us.

JACK: I just hope there is an "us" after all is said and done. (growing serious) Jennifer, your father...your father has a problem.

JENNIFER: He has several, Jack.

JACK: (kneeling in front of her and giving her a look to not be so flip) I'm serious, he has a real problem, one that is more far-reaching than you'd ever guess. One that will change your view of him forever.

JENNIFER: (shaken by his seriousness but wanting him to go on, she takes his hands in her lap) And this, Jack, will change my view on you forever.

They stare deeply into each other's eyes for a moment and Jack, knowing she's right, sighs and gets up and begins to tell the story. He is pacing and talking very animatedly, and stopping every once in awhile to lean on the counter or chair. We don't hear the actual words, instead the action and reaction shots are done to a song and the different stages of the talk fade into one another. The song is from Jack's point of view and his hope that when he is finished, Jennifer will understand exactly why he did what he had to do and that all of this, as warped as it was, was for her and Abigail.

As the music starts, Jack has just delivered the news to Jennifer after going around it. She tries to hide back tears and mouths "what" and his heart breaks for her. He didn't want to be the one to tell her this...ever.

When the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Just let my love throw a spark
And have a little faith in me

He walks over to her and tries to hold her, but she will not uncross her arms and is insisting he go on with the story. Shrugging in frustration, he fingers the side of the counter, trying to avoid looking at her and making it harder and recounts the events in Africa.

The scene fades into a little while later and Jennifer is standing now, raising her voice and waving her arm. She is upset. Jack flinches as she rants and shoves his hands into his pockets but doesn't try to stop her.

And when the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try
And have a little faith in me

She turns her back to him and crosses her arms again. He pauses and walks over to touch her shoulder. It hurts her not to respond but she doesn't know how to right now. When he realizes she's not going to melt, he drops his hand sadly to his side.

The scene fades into a little while later. She is now sitting again and he is kneeling in front of her as she cries. Abby walks in and they compose themselves as best as possible as the chorus plays. She excitedly pulls Jack's arm out and shows him the time on his watch and he and Jennifer share a momentary look at each other, wondering if they really can "celebrate".

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

Abby is insistent and pulls the both of them by the hand into the living room. Reluctantly, they give in.

When your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
Come here darlin'

Abby puts a New Year's hat on Jack, who switches it for a tiara and tries to get Jennifer to smile. It's not working.

From a whisper start
To have a little faith in me

As they watch the countdown and try to act excited, Jack's face is focused on Jennifer's, which is full of pain over knowing what her father and he did. As the clock strikes midnight, Abby jumps up and down and Jack and Jennifer both kiss her. She pushes the two of them together for a kiss.

And when your back's against the wall
Just turn around and you will see

Both nervously smiling, they tentatively kiss and Jack, knowing that she needs someone to hold her, takes her hand in his and squeezes it. We see a lone tear fall down Jennifer's cheek.

Just have a little faith in me

As the chorus plays, Jennifer pulls away and scoots Abby off to bed. Following her up the stairs, she takes a long emotionally charged look at Jack, signaling that they are not through with their talk. She walks up the stairs as he sighs deeply, hoping they can really get through this.

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

Fade into a little while later, Jack is cleaning up in the kitchen and Jennifer walks in. He slowly turns and looks her in the eye. They remain this way throughout the fade, waiting to see who will break first.

Well, I've been loving you for such a long time girl
Expecting nothing in return
Just for you to have a little faith in me
You see time, time is our friend
'Cause for us there is no end
And all you gotta do is have a little faith in me

Waiting with baited breath, Jack goes to speak but Jennifer walks over and places her finger on his lip and shakes her head no. As she leans her head against his chest and lets him envelop her, he looks relieved and is crying tears of joy. He can't believe he actually told the truth and that she is still willing to work with him. He can't believe she placed all her faith in him after all was on the table.

I said I will hold you up, I will hold you up
Your love gives me strength enough
So have a little faith in me

The artist was taken to the hospital with a “severe gash on his head close to his eye” that required stitches, reports The Guardian.

“Phil sends his sincere apologies and thanks to fans,” a statement reads. “He has had a fantastic week at his first [full] shows in 10 years, and cannot thank people enough for their warm reaction and is excited to return.”

The London concerts have been rescheduled for November 26 and 27, 2017.

Inlays and Onlays

Is there Anything I Should or Shouldn't do Afterwards?

If the dentist needs to temporise the tooth, whilst the inlay is being made in the laboratory, to stop it from being sensitive and to prevent bacteria getting into the tooth, then I advise the same precautions as for a temporary crown:

  • Take it easy on that side.
  • Appreciate that you have a temporary and that it is much weaker than a normal tooth so treat it with care.
  • Often just being aware and conscious that you have a temporary on that side will do the trick and prevent you from chewing anything too hard.
  • Where possible consider chewing on the other side.
  • Pull the floss through when you are flossing rather than pulling it back up which may dislodge the temporary. Some dentists will advise avoiding flossing around that tooth altogether.

Generally there are very little side effects after having an inlay/ onlay and you are able to chew as normal and return to work pretty much as soon as you leave the dentist.

Anaesthetic will take a few hours to wear off, so just be careful during this period. See- How long will the anaesthetic take to wear off? for more information.

Sometimes the numbness can make it a bit difficult to get you to bite in your natural position and so if after a few days it doesn't feel normal again, return to your dentist who will make the necessary adjustments and polish it down to the right height in your bite.

It is also possible the inlay/onlay feels a little rough once the anaesthetic has worn off. Often this will smooth down naturally after a couple of days of normal eating and chewing. If it persists, just pop back to your dentist; there may be a little excess cement remaining.

It is a good idea to reflect briefly on why the treatment was necessary in the first place. If it was because the tooth was heavily broken down- ask yourself how could you have taken steps to prevent dental treatment in the first place. For example, if it was a cracked tooth because you were grinding - then you should get a night splint made. If it was because of a very heavily filled tooth, then the chances are the cause was decay. Frequent dental visits, better brushing, flossing good diet and fluoride are key to preventing it from happening again.

Will I get Pain after the Inlay or Onlay?

Not really, sometimes a bit of soreness from the gum or perhaps a bit of sensitivity if the tooth hasn't had a root canal filling. Everything should be back to normal within a couple of days.

What are the Risks, Potential Complications and Possible Side Effects?

The potential risks and complications of having a filling are the same for inlays and onlays. As with any restoration, the nerve could potentially play up if the cavity was very deep and the inlay (though it is unlikely if bonded correctly) could potentially come out. As mentioned before, as long as you have it, should this happen, it can generally just be stuck back in.

What Determines the Success and Life on your Inlay/ Onlay?

A number of factors will determine how long your inlay/onlay will last- the most important are a:

  • Good dentist
  • Good lab technician
  • Quality impression
  • Suitable choice of inlay/onlay material
  • Suitable choice of cement to bond it in with
  • Good dry technique to stick it in.
  • How you look after it (oral hygiene)
  • The amount of good tooth remaining
  • The shape of the cavity
  • The design of the restoration
  • How you bite together.

All these factors will all impact on how successful your inlay/onlay is and how long it will last.

The "Brit a Day" series

What does a months-long parade of attractive British men have to do with fiction, you might well ask? These gentlemen have inspired some lovely scenes, part of the life I live in my head. Over time, some of these scenes reach out to one another and begin to form a story. For the present, each one of these pictures provides a writing prompt for me, a way to keep me writing with a sense of passion and narrative, even when the stories are not yet fully formed.

Why import Japanese cars from car auction in Japan?

There are 3 reasons.

1. Well trained auction house inspectors are seriously checking a used Japanese car one by one. On top of this, We check a used car in detail by ourself before auction start. Especially, we check in detail if there was an accident history or not. Also, auction houses keep record each used car's mileage into one database system so that they can monitor each car's mileage and do better guess every time if a used car has a true mileage or not. So if a used car has suspicious about its mileage, inspectors write as question Km into inspection sheet. This is why we are able to buy a good described car from auto auction with less risk (may be less risk than local car dealers) and without doubt. When you go to local used car dealer, check a used car yourself, what you can do is to check exterior and interior of a used car at most. You have a no clue if a car has true mileage or not, accident car or not and an engine is OK or not.

japanese auction car

You will receive an original car inspection sheet which is issued by Japanese car auction house. The car inspection sheet is like a certificate of diamond when you buy diamond in jewelry shop. It really describes well used car condition (like a, where dent, scratch is. Km, and so on), even you are able to use it when you would like to sell your used car.

2. You are able to buy Japanese used car at lowest price from Japanese car auction. It is natural that you can buy Japanese used car cheap, because you can buy Japanese used car at a very first stage of channels. Normally, your local car dealer has a lot of overheads cost to maintain used car yard, people and stock and such cost is naturally put on a used car sale price. With our auction service, we can erase this unnecessary cost which you can use it somewhere else.

3. Japanese car auction houses have variety of stock, very strong chance you can find your dream Japanese used car. May be your local used car dealer carry stock somewhere 60 cars or may be 100 at most. On the other hand, Japanese used car auction house, about 1800 used cars to more than 10,000 used Japanese cars are sold at auction in one day. So it is very easy to find your used Japanese car.

What is a car inspection sheet at auction?

Every single Japanese used car auction has a car inspection sheet attached. Car auction inspectors fairly and carefully write this one by one. You will get more clear information about a used car condition and car history than local dealers used car stock.

The car inspection sheet shows

  • Used car accident history (also shows which part repaired and which part replaced)
  • Water damage history
  • Hail damage history
  • Stolen history
  • Odd meter problem or replaced
  • Even very tiny dent ( pin dent ) are shown in an auction sheet
  • Panel beating and paint work history and so on.
There areas are very difficult for you to find out in your local dealer's used car stock.

We will send you this car inspection sheet and used car pictures by e-mail before auto auction start.

The Oshogatsu tradition highlights holiday spirits in Japan

The Oshogatsu tradition highlights holiday spirits in Japan

by: Takahiro Takiguchi | .
Stripes Japan | .
published: December 26, 2017
New Year’s, or oshogatsu, is one of Japan’s most important and longest holidays.
Although oshogatsu originally referred to the whole month of January, most people associate it with the first three days (sanga nichi) of the month. On these days, people go to shrines or temples, spend time with friends and relatives while drinking sake and eat special New Year’s dishes.
Throughout these days, the bustling Japanese economy practically comes to a standstill. Schools, companies and shops close down, and trains, planes and highways are packed as millions make their way to their hometowns or other travel destinations. This year, most Japanese office workers will take at least five consecutive days off from Dec. 30 to Jan. 3. According to the Japan Association of Travel Agents, while many are heading to their hometowns, others will be taking trips to some popular domestic destinations,  including Okinawa, Tokyo, Kyushu, Tokai and Kyoto. And others will pack Japan’s airports to head to Hawaii, Taiwan, Thailand Singapore and Guam.
Huge cities like Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya take on an almost eerie quietness until the great rush back home and return to work. Although most shops and restaurants are
closed in these big cities, some foreigners may find it the perfect time to check out the landscape. A walk down any quiet street in these cities reveals a fascinating blend of old
and new.
You can see “kadomatsu” (gate pines made from bamboo stalks and pine boughs) standing beside the shuttered entrances of skyscrapers and “shimekazari” (straw ropes strung with little angular strips of white paper) hanging across the front of parking lots, supermarkets or shopping malls. Both Kadomatsu and shimekazari are believed to purify the entrance and invite new and fresh life into the home and workplace. On New Year’s Day, it is believed that Toshigami, the god of time and fertility, will enter homes and bring
good luck for the coming year.

New Year's foods

Traditional New Year’s foods are prepared in advance to minimize cooking and household chores during the holiday.

Osechi-ryori, a special selection of food, is prominently featured at most New Year’s sittings. This includes boiled “konbu” (seaweed), “kamaboko” (fish cakes), “kurikinton” (mashed sweet potato with chestnut), “kinpiragobo” (simmered burdock root), “kuromame” (sweetened black soybeans) and “ebi” (shrimp). Many of these dishes are sweet, sour, or dried, so they can keep fresh without refrigeration.

Mochi, a thick, gooey rice cake, is prepared so that it can be served as ozoni (soup with mochi and vegetables) for breakfast, lunch or any other time during the holidays.

Sashimi and sushi are often eaten, along with various non-Japanese foods. To let the overworked stomach rest, “nanakusagayu” (seven-herb rice soup) is prepared on Jan. 7 when the New Year’s decorations are removed.

On Okinawa, dishes with seaweed and taro, such as “kubuirichi” (stir-fried seaweed) and “kubumaki” (seaweed roles), along with “nakamijiru” (stewed offal) are popular as New Year’s foods.

Since 1873, New Year’s has been celebrated according to the Gregorian solar calendar in Japan, although it was originally celebrated according to the lunar calendar. Actually, many regions on Okinawa, such as Itoman, Uruma and Tamagusuku village in Nanjo city, celebrate New Year’s according to the lunar calendar, just the same as many other Asian countries. New Year’s on the lunar calendar for 2018 is Feb. 16.

“Towns with fishing ports will usually celebrate the new year in accordance with the lunar calendar, although a majority of Okinawans celebrate it in accordance with the solar calendar,” said Shuko Kinjo of Okinawa Tourism Bureau.

On Okinawa, New Year’s Day is called “soguwachi”. Okinawans begin celebrating New Year’s by scooping water from a well in the morning. This first water of the year is called, “wakamiji” (literally young water). The water is often made into tea and offered to the ancestors, or can also be used to clean the body as it is believed to help rejuvenate the spirit and restore youth. The tradition of “hachiukushi” (start of business for the year) is observed on Jan. 3. While farmers clean and purify the farming tools and wish for a rich harvest and prosperity in the new year, fishermen decorate their boats with big-catch, wishing for safety in the sea and large catches. Jan. 16 is called “jurukunichi” and considered as New Year’s for the dead. Okinawans usually visit their family cemetery and offer foods to the souls of their ancestors on this day.

Viewing and wishing upon the rising sun is “hatsuhinode”, one of the most popular New Year’s traditions. If weather allows, you should check it out.  In Tokyo, observation decks on the Tokyo Tower and Sunshine City are two of the most popular hatsuhinode spots. On these observation decks, you can see the sun rising around 6:50 a.m. on Jan. 1.  If you want to enjoy it in a quiet atmosphere, take a three-hour drive down to Cape Inubo-saki in Choshi City, Chiba Prefecture, where you can view the earliest sunrise (6:45 a.m.) on the Kanto Plain.

On Okinawa, Cape Hedo-misaki (kunigami-gun) and Kaichu Doro (Uruma City) are the two most popular spots for hatsuhinode.  Sunrise at these spots will be at 7:15 a.m.

Nengajo and Otoshidama

Even with the recent trend of using email to carry the greetings, exchanging New Year’s cards, called “nengajo”, remains very popular in Japan. Try sending one to your Japanese friends. Be sure to handwrite names and addresses, even if you used your PC and printer to make the cards. Then, mark the postcard with the word “NENGAJO” in red and send it out before Dec. 25. This way, the postman will be able to deliver them on time.

Japanese give money in small decorated envelopes called “pochibukuro” to children on New Year’s Day, which is called “otoshidama” (literally New Year’s present). The amount of money given depends on the age, but it is uncommon for amounts greater than 10,000 yen ($100) to be given.

Heavy traffic during holidays

Actually, heavy traffic is common at the beginning and the end of the holiday season, both on expressways and general roads, as a result of people traveling to their hometowns or tourist attractions.  According to the Japan Traffic Information Center, heavy traffic is expected to peak on various expressways around big cities on Dec. 30-31 (outbound) and Jan. 2-3 (inbound).

The heaviest traffic for expressways is expected on Tomei Expressway (inbound) around the Yamato Tunnel near Naval Air Facility Atsugi from Jan. 2-4. You can expect traffic jams to stretch more than 22 miles long, according to Nippon Expressway Company.

On trains, the peak of the traffic is expected on Dec. 30 (outbound for Tohoku and Hokuriku regions) and Dec. 31 (outbound for Kansai region) and Jan. 2 and 3 (inbound), according to JR East.

So, if you are planning to take a domestic trip during the holidays, avoid these most crowded dates and check the traffic information as frequently as possible. Road Bureau traffic updates are available online at:

The Elephant Whisperer

After reading the book, “The Elephant Whisperer” I began to research more about this most magical creature. I’ve been doing lots of sketches to learn more about them and how truly majestic they really are. Hope you like this latest offering.

Storm moves in

I know times are hard. People keep saying we are in the end times. There are wars, shootings, the weather is going crazy, and more. These all do look like the signs listed in the Bible, but I’m not sure.

Either way, I know that storms come. Things happen that cause us to doubt and question whether God is even still near us.

Read the Scripture above.

God still loves you, even when the troubles come. And, let me assure you, the troubles WILL come. Even Jesus told us they would. (John 16:33)

What I want you to see is that God’s character, His love, and His will is FOR you. God is not against you.

He is not this cosmic being in the sky waiting for you to mess up so He can cause you more trouble. He does not operate that way.

My old Pastor said, “God can’t give you something He doesn’t have.”

Think about that for a minute. Sure, He’s God. He’s all knowing, all powerful, and ever present.

But does He have cancer?

Is He sick? NOPE!

So, why are you blaming your sickness on Him?

Because that’s the only person you can think of? Because He could have prevented it?

Because you are scared out of your mind and don’t know what else to do?

If you are a Christ follower, someone who truly, with every fiber of your being believes that God sent Jesus to die on the cross for your sins, that He was buried, resurrected, and rose on the 3rd day… then let me remind you of something.

NOTHING can take you out of God’s hands, and God doesn’t cause the bad stuff to happen to us.

Jesus said in John 10:28-30,I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me, 29 for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else. No one can snatch them from the Father’s hand. 30 The Father and I are one.”

God is trustworthy. He doesn’t lie. He doesn’t change. He’s the same yesterday, today and forever. So, stop worrying. Ok?

Know that He’s got you in the palm of His hand and nothing can take you out but yourself. Don’t walk away from the one Person who can help you the most.

RUN TO HIM when the storms come.

Because that cancer… well, He’s still in the healing business. So, He can earthly heal you and keep you here for a testimony to others.

I pray that someone will really get this today. I hope you see the truth and that the truth will set you free. God loves you so much and He wants a relationship with you. That’s all.

God bless you today and always!

Subic International Marathon, a Celebration of Life, a Fulfillment of One’s Dream

October 24-25, 2009
SCTEX (Florinda Blanca- SBMA) and Remy Field, SBMA
Distance: 21k++ doc art and cess pacer plus 21k (my 1st half mary)
Total Distance: 42k++
Time: n.a. (marathon pacer)
Time: 2.32.54h (1st half mary)

Yes, SIM was the most tremendous experience in my running career at this point in my life…full of excitement, adventures and challenges…my 1st half marathon and out of town race…the day that i was born to run…with the takbo.ph friends as my godparents
wer na me? hanapin niyo! sim article - phil daily inquirer page A26 - october 29, 2009

A week before the race, I am totally bothered…I haven’t arranged my transpo going to subic neither my accommodation…lucky enough that I still have space at marga’s van and  place to stay at ellen’s house…always, im a last minute person

The group arrived in subic around eight in the morning…no plan what to do next til ellen decided to take us around…doc sherwin, raf, ric and yan (yan, salamat nga pala for reg.)…the generous doctor lend us his everest together with kuya nilo as our driver…had our  pasta and pizza siesta at xtremely xpresso and went back to the lighthouse to rest...
We were surprised that cess, our bunso had a slight fever…doc art asked me to pace with them for first 10km, if cess can’t make then I am there to assist…I was hesitant at first because I still need to reserve my energy for my 21k debut…”kaya ko ba, pano kung di na ako makatakbo bukas?”…after I saw cess, nahabag ako…I immediately put on my singlet and decided to join them…argo gave me the race kit of nao…baka di raw makapunta, I can use it just in case...before we leave, nao confirmed that she’s coming…I was relieved...we arrived at the startline 15 minutes before the gun start…some were surprised that I’ll be pacing the two in their first 10k…I was happy to see my takbo.ph family cheering for the new marathoners…I appreciate marga’s reminder…”wag magpapakapagod, may takbo ka pa bukas ha”
mga kuha along sctx - florida blanca exit to dinalupihan exit
doc art and cess
me, the bandit

I know the reason why I was there…to give encouragement to cess and doc art…after reaching km1, I started to tease cess…”eto na cess, simulan natin…kwento mo sa akin ang talambuhay mo, para pagdating sa finishline line atapos na

The sun started to set down…I told doc art that I can still run beyond 10k…I update the support team once in a while…2 kilometers after dinalupihan exit, doc art reminded me that I still have my half marathon, to stop and rest for tomorrow…he called pepsi to pick me up…when they arrived, pepsi and carina paced the two...along the way, we met up ellen and took us to her place…God's blessings…I woke up the following morning with no pain at all…

my silhouette along sctx - dinalupihan exit

Race day came…I was so excited…lot of runners were scattered in the oval…we were surprised that it will be a mass start…no marshals roving around…ang gulo…some started to shout their sentiments, others just observed…disappointed for a second but I turned everything positive…I don’t want to ruin my race day, my first half marathon…thought that this was only part of the challenges that I will encounter along the way…I started good but begun to slow down before i reach km5 marker…side stitch had attacked me…I decided to walk and enjoy the place, overlooking subic bay in the hilly route, watching the bats above…another surprised hill, almost a kilometer long uphill…”walang ganito sa  KOTR”

I had a split time of 1.12hr…good enough to reach 2.30hr in the finish line…I saw my 21k batchamates one by one, tracy with tim and luis, rj with bong, followed by julie, yan and lauren, carina pacing michelle, cindy, marga and mccoy…nabuhayan ako when I saw the group cheering for us

I realized that running half-marathon is not easy...i am tired already when when i reached Km13…frequent walk breaks after km16…I continued my run in a slow pace, not minding my target time anymore…

When I saw my takbo.ph family waiting for me at the finish line, i almost cry…I truly appreciate how supportive they are, especially to us, the devirginized half marathoners…i finished the race in 2.33.22...not bad according to them…still, more 21k race for PR

No turn around ribbon, no finishers medal, no finishers certificate…ayus lang…ang importante I did it, we did it…CONGRATULATIONS to all t.ph SIM and Nike+ HR participants...MARAMING SALAMAT!

"I think I'll go home now it's, been the greatest day thank, you for shedding life to my fantasy, throw me a wicked smile the one like yesterday, that threw me up and away, to the evergreen"

Rico Villanueva said...

I would love to just freeze time right now. Zenock is at my favorite stage. He is doing so many things and learning new things every day. I just sit entertained and amazed at my precious little boy. His new word of the week is: Airplane... He is amazed by them and loves watching them outside. Today while watching his show they were talking about Kangaroo's and he turned to me and with out any trouble repeated Kangaroo right back to me! Poor Kid just gets smothered in kisses any time he does anything I think is amazing. (I secretly think he likes it.) Whenever he goes to bed, we have to not only give him hugs and kisses, but also any stuffed animal that might be in bed with him.

I even love his little attitude he gives me when I tell him "No." I don't know how I am ever going to learn how to not laugh when disciplining him. He is spoiled. :)

I love that he thinks he is big enough to do anything his Daddy does and tries to do absolutely everything like him. When JC comes home from work... Zenock runs to him and gives him a big hug and starts talking away... (in jibberish) and tells JC everything we have done that day. (I'm sure that's what he's saying.) He loves his Daddy so much!

I love watching him start to pick up on things I have been doing with him forever. For example: Taking his hand and pointing to pictures in his books. He now takes my hand and points to pictures in the book and tells me what they say or what is going on.

I just love watching his excitement for life... I learn so much from him every day. He is the perfect little boy.

I love you Zennie!

The Noble Steeds said...

Oh Carin! He is so big!!! And of course he loves your kisses!

Destri said...

I know exactly what you mean, before hank turned one I would say oh this is may fave month, and then the next one would be, so fun, and I agree i love their excitment for life! they celebrate every accomplishment. he is so adorable, you should be proud!

The Trees said...

I'd love to freeze time too! Love the stage my girls are in now. Love the pics of Zenock. A lot of personality; cute, cute!! What a great mom you are!

Family Time Friday- Little Leaps of Love

We're approaching February and that means Valentine's Day.  Do you do something special for your sweetheart for Valentines Day?  Do you have traditions you enjoy?  Do you do things for your kids?

I try to get the kids each something small and we have a fun Valentine's or Red- themed dinner and dessert that night.  My husband and I have only actually gone out twice for Valentine's Day on the actual day and it's such a zoo that we've decided we'd much rather spend the evening at home with the kids.

I always look forward to Valentine's Day because it's another opportunity to show my love to my family.  Which is why I'm excited about a series a fellow blogger is doing called Little Leaps of Love!

Little Leaps of Love

Each day in February (excluding Sundays) she'll be posting a challenge- a little task to do to show love to someone in your family.  She's also holding a contest with prizes!  How fun is that?  I'll be joining in, and would love to hear if you are too!

Whether you're joining in or not, I'd like to know, what are some of the things you do to make Valentine's Day special?

  1. We opt to stay in too....I think it's better and more cozy, and the kids love it!! This sounds like fun!!! I'm going to take a look at it tonight. Thanks for sharing!!! My husband started a tradition years ago with my girlies....he always sends them one single rose to school from the florist...just from Daddy. :)

  2. Anonymous1:02 PM

    We stay in, too. Trying to go out is just too crazy. For the kids (& usually the hubby, too.) I send them on a scavenger hunt where they track down little rhyming notes (about 5 of them), each leading to the next, until they find a new DVD and a little box of candy. They love it and we all have a great time. This is one of the best traditions we have because there is no pressure, juts fun. Suzi

I love your comments! Thank you so much for taking the time to drop me a note :)

Jeremy Hardy v The Israeli Army

In 2002, I was approached by the Palestinian director, Leila Sansour, to front a documentary about the International Solidarity Movement, anti-occupation activists operating in the West Bank and Gaza. She wanted me to go to Bethlehem. I was quite flattered, unaware that she had asked 98 other people, working downwards from Madonna.

Leila assured me that, because the ISM is a non-violent movement, I would be in no danger. Unfortunately, while I was on the plane, Ariel Sharon launched a full-scale invasion of the Occupied Territories. I got to Bethlehem shortly before his tanks. The ISM were indeed peaceful, the Israeli Army, not so much. It all got a bit lairy.

Took a break from delivering a 76′ sailing sloop from Long Beach, CA to Juneau, AL. Docked the boat in San Francisco. Rented a van, drove all night to Portland, saw the show with the crew, drove back to SF and was at sea the next day , no lie, what a trip!
