An Open Letter to Everyone Who Represents Me: President Biden, Vice President Harris, Governor Polis, Senator Bennet, Senator Hickenlooper, Representative Neguse, State Senator Lewis, and State Representative Bernett

It’s been a while since I’ve written. It seems that by the time I formulate something to say, there’s another new thing that arises that erases whatever I had to say before. But Boulder is my stomping ground (at least when there’s not a pandemic). We have shopped in that store. There’s a restaurant in that shopping area that makes vindaloo hot enough to please my husband.

One of my daughter’s best friends lived up the street. My daughter went to middle school around the bend. My son played concerts in the park nearby.

So I offer another open to letter to everyone who is supposed to represent my interests. I hope this time my letter makes some sort of difference.

23 March, 2021

Dear President Biden, Vice President Harris, Governor Polis, Senator Bennet, Senator Hickenlooper, Representative Neguse, State Senator Lewis, and State Representative Bernett,

  Today it was in my/our backyard, but yesterday’s shooting at the King Soopers grocery store in Boulder was no more horrific than any of the ones that have happened from that horrific day at Columbine High School until now. Of course it could happen in Boulder. Of course it can happen to any of us.

  I have watched so many politicians refuse to give direct and unequivocal answers when asked whether we need stricter gun laws. The answer should be “Yes. We need to discourage people from carrying guns. We need stronger guns laws that restrict the number of guns any person, family, or household can own. We need to outlaw assault rifles and all such weapons designed to inflict maximum damage to humans. We need our children to go to schools that are not fortresses, where they don’t have to absorb the pre-emptive trauma of preparing for a shooter entering their classrooms and playgrounds. We need to change our culture so that we no longer glorify guns and violence.”

Will you take a political hit for such an answer? Yes.

Will such an answer require a whole lot of courage? Yes.

Will giving such an answer be the right thing to do? Yes.

Please: we are looking to you to make Colorado and the United States a safer, saner state and country that will be examples to other states, to our nation, and indeed to the world. Let us show the planet that we know how to face our failings and change.

And let’s not scapegoat this latest devastation onto the backs of those of us with mental illnesses. 1 People dealing with metal illness are not prone to violence. 2 Let’s look at what almost every one of these shooters has in common: they are men. Let’s start there. What is wrong with the men in our country that any of them have to go slaughtering others and ruining the lives of those of us who knew the victims and, in other ways, the lives of those of us who didn’t? Let’s stop deciding retroactively that someone who commits murder is insane and unstoppable. Let’s stop only talking about getting those with mental illness the help they need and do it, and let’s also talk about getting our boys the help they need so that they don’t pick up guns and kill children in schools, congregants in houses of worship, people shopping for their evening meals and getting vaccines that will help protect us all from COVID-19.

And let us not forget all those who are shot, but in numbers too small — one, two, or three — to be considered worthy of attention. EVERY DAY, 316 people in the U.S are shot; twenty-two are children. 3 Let us remember the victims of domestic violence, most likely to be killed when they try to escape; the children who find the guns their parents have not locked away and who play with them because we have taught them that guns are toys and who end up shooting themselves or siblings or friends; the folks who maim themselves or others; the ones who shoot in the air in a moment of excitement and end up harming someone, if only through inflicting the terror of finding a bullet lodged in a wall of their home.

Over two years ago I wrote a blog post 4 after the shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. I opened my essay stating that I doubted anything would change, and I was right. Sometimes I really, really hate to be right. If the deaths of the children at Sandyhook couldn’t shock us into sanity, I don’t know what ever will.

Back in March of 2018, Garrett Epps wrote in the Atlantic an article titled “The Second Amendment Does Not Transcend All Others: Its text and context don’t ensure an unlimited individual right to bear any kind and number of weapons by anyone.” 5 Every child in school should read it; so should all our elected representatives. Epps quotes the judgement that Justice Scalia, that bastion of conservatism, rendered in Heller v. District of Columbia:

Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited. From Blackstone through the 19th-century cases, commentators and courts routinely explained that the right was not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose. For example, the majority of the 19th-century courts to consider the question held that prohibitions on carrying concealed weapons were lawful under the Second Amendment or state analogues. Although we do not undertake an exhaustive historical analysis today of the full scope of the Second Amendment, nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.

I have gotten to the point that I hate all guns. I didn’t always. My grandmother and mother were incredible shots. I played with pop guns and fake sheriff’s pistols and water guns as a kid. But now I would happily see them all, toys and the real ones, disappear from the face of the planet. 6

But I am willing to compromise. I am willing to talk with those who disagree with me but are also willing to find a sensible middle-ground. (Perhaps we could agree that people who have been cleared by background checks may own guns that were in existence at the time our Constitution was written. Surely that would appeal to strict constructionists.)

One of our nieces reminded me that her whole life has been permeated by this violence; the same is true for my children who flank their cousin in age. I know a teacher who is retiring in part because he can no longer assure his students that they are safe at school.

Let’s give gun-law reform a try. Let’s give it a try for at least a generation and see what happens. Let’s save lives and children. Let’s take some of the pressure off the police who have to worry about whether everyone they approach has a weapon. Let’s be humane and moral and responsible and value each other more than we do weapons that can destroy us as individuals and as a national community.

Thank you for reading my letter. I hope, fervently and desperately, that you all will act — directly and decisively — to turn the tide of this every-rising flood of preventable violence and damage. I am

Your constituent,

Ruth E Feiertag

  • 1. And if you want to improve the mental health of many of us, pass gun laws that will keep us safer. The barrage of anguish and death contributes to my sense of helplessness and depression.

6. I think about the story of the Israelites wandering in the desert for two generations so that all those who entered the Promise Land would have never known what it was to be a slave. Sometimes I think that’s what we need here in the U.S. Let us have two generations without guns, and when the last of us who have known what it is to have lived with a national consciousness pervaded with the awareness of guns has died, then let the generations who succeed us decide whether they want to re-introduce them into society.

About Audio Files

Audio files are files that store digital audio data on a computer system. The bit layout of the audio data (excluding metadata) is called the audio coding format and can be uncompressed (e.g AIFF & WAV), or compressed to reduce the file size (e.g FLAC), often using lossy compression (e.g MP3). The data can be a raw bitstream in an audio coding format, but it is usually embedded in a container format or an audio data format with defined storage layer.

As a Tantric Coach one of my greatest passions is to awaken beautiful humans to the MYTHS that surround Tantra.
The greatest LIE that we in the Western world believe is that Tantra ‘is all about SEX’…
It’s just not true.
I just published a Chapter in a book, ‘Your Well Being, Sunrise Edition’, on exactly this topic.
The misconceptions that surround Tantra: the ‘triggers and charge’ that people have around SEX. The dogma, projections and opinions that come along with it has had me mislabelled as a sex worker, a slut, a witch and a myriad of other assumptions and labels too…
I just wrote a Blog on ‘Dating as a Tantric Coach’… hmmm it’s very interesting to say the least when the majority are not so enlightened!
So, lets BUST the most common myths together once and for all, shall we?!
1. I can’t learn Tantra because I don’t have a partner!
Wrong! Exactly the opposite is true! What an IDEAL and fantastic time to open that powerful channel of sexual energy and begin to play and practice with your new-found skills! You will radiate more pleasure and fulfilment and find you become more magnetic to call in a lover from a place of wholeness and sexual empowerment!
2 . Tantra is sex, I would be cheating on my partner to see a Tantrica.
Wrong again. If you went to a Dr for a prostate exam… Is that cheating? When you invest in sexual education and mastery it is an investment in YOURSELF! Along with the benefits of becoming a more present, permission granting and pleasure filled, multi-orgasmic lover you can also overcome a myriad of other sexual and emotional health issues naturally! Things such as: premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, sex addiction, trauma, painful sex, intimacy issues, heartbreak, the list goes on and on…
tantra yoga couple
3. Tantra is a bunch of weird sexual positions from the Kamasutra.
Wrong once more… In fact only 20% of the Kamasutra is actually dedicated to sexual positions. The rest refers to the “The Arts” and relates to the aspects of living a whole and virtuous life!
4. I’m too… fat, too old, too tired, too sick, too… (fill in the BLANK)
Again… None of this is true!!!
The truth is…
Whether you are…

  • Single
  • Coupled
  • Any size
  • Any age
  • Any ailment
  • Any sexual persuasion…

If you can hold a clear intention, breathe, sound and move you will be guiding energy throughout your body therefore you can do Tantra!

Tantra is a Practise!

It Heals. Educates. Empowers. Enlightens. And Expands us!
If you are curious to learn more or feeling that working with a Tantric Coach may benefit you, your personal journey, your relationship I encourage you to do your homework and reach out! Find a reputable practitioner who practices with integrity. Interview them and make your decision by listening to your inner guidance, trust yourself and your gut.
We live once… NOW is the time!

Home / Services

We offer Espressions in Sandtray (EIS) in addition to one on one talk therapy. EIS is a creative form of therapy using the imagination. We place miniatures of people, animals, landscape and symbolic objects in the sand tray to create a narrative or story. This is accomplished within the “free and protected space” of the therapeutic relationship and the sand tray. A series of images  portrayed in the sand tray with miniatures creates an ongoing bridge and conversation between the conscious and unconscious aspects of the client’s inner self. This activates a healing process, and the growth and development of the person’s mental, emotional and social well-being. After a series of sessions, individuals have the opportunity to work through traumas and significant problems, after which they report they feel as if a sword has been retrieved from their heart.
We may utilize evidenced based Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) with or without EIS therapy. All of these methods work and have their place depending on the particular circumstances, issues or timing for the individual. CBT can facilitate exploring defenses and emotional states through looking at thinking errors and biases, regrouping the brains perception into a different reality concept. Diversely, deep exploration of the unconscious and primitive emotional states is primary for true lasting change and healing. In other words, in order to remove the sword from our heart we need to go deep into the pain, uncover, sort and change the defenses which are not serving in the present here and now. While DBT offers other supportive skills such as mindfulness and containment; utilizing these approaches and other tools gives us an integrative approach and with all of this we hope to assist you in discovering wholeness and harmony with self, significant others and environment.

Some of the areas that we can provide help and support for are:
Communication Difficulties | ADD/ADHD | Autism | Attachment problems | Childhood trauma and PTSD

Middle Childhood (ages 6-12)
Oppositional defiance
Teens (ages 13-17)
Family conflict | Identity development | Defiance | Anger Management

A journey around the world

Marco, Marije and Mathies have been sailing around the world since 2013. They sailed from the Netherlands via Southern Europe to the Cape Verde Islands, the first place where they found very good kitesurfing conditions. From the Cape Verde Islands, they continued their journey to the Caribbean, where they sailed around for two years.

Also in the Caribbean, they have had a great time with beautiful kite surfing, one dream destination after another they find in tropical paradise, especially in Freestyle and flat water kitesurfing.

In the second year in the Caribbean, they started offering Caribbean sailing charters and kitesurf cruises. Especially in San Blas, Panama, it gets really busy, the area is very suitable for kite charters and sailing charters and Silverland appears to be a very popular destination for many kite surfers, sailors, and adventurers.

The rest of the trip has many highlights, but it goes too far to name them all here, that’s why they’ve picked out some kitesurf high lights for you.

Here we go:

French Polynesia and the Tuamotus

After San Blas, they sailed through the Panama Canal and then via Ecuador into the Pacific Ocean to Gambier in French Polynesia. There they sailed around for two years. The special thing about the trip is that we think every time: it can’t get any better than this’, they tell us. And then they arrive at an even more enchanting place. The Caribbean is fun for a kitesurf cruise and sailing charter, but the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean is heaven on earth! In the Tuamotus, for example, they arrive in an uninhabited atoll, with a series of Motus (islets) at the edge of the atoll. The Motus form a bay, the bottom of the bay is of white sand and stretches hundreds of meters, the bath temperature water is hip deep and transparent turquoise everywhere. The wind comes straight from the sea to the east and they are lucky, it blows from the right angle for days on end. They experience epic freestyle kitesurfing sessions on mirror smooth water behind a long white sandbank!

Tahiti and Moorea

After the flat coral rings of the Tuamotus, they sail to Tahiti. Tahiti rises from the sea with dramatic mountain peaks up to 2000 meters high and sharp valleys, mystical mist hangs in the mountains and everywhere are surf spots. Marije and Marco confirm: ‘We immediately fall in love. What an amazing place on earth this is! They surf, sup-surf and kite surf in different waves in different passes. The waves are fast and impressive. Marco and Marije their heartbeats raise when it comes to wave kitesurfing, Tahiti, Moorea, and Hunahine are top for the waves! Their son Mathies is also very happy in the Pacific, he loves to fish and fishes one evening meal after the other together. Also, the various kite cruise and surf cruise guests have an unforgettable time. The underwater world is also breathtaking, different species of sharks, manta rays, whales, turtles and a variety of sea and coral fish, snorkeling and scuba diving is a feast. With their sailing charter guests, they sail to remote paradise islands and atolls, where they have exceptional kitesurfing sessions and offer their guests an unforgettable adventure. The surf cruises and kite cruises they offer are always an unforgettable success!

It’s almost becoming a cliché, but also Fiji surpasses their wildest dreams, this time not necessarily because of the dramatic natural beauty, but because of the indescribably good wave kitesurfing conditions. A bit to our shame we have to admit that we haven’t seen much of Fiji, we spent three months near the famous wave spots around Namotu and Cloudbreak’, Marco and Marije enthusiastically say. Kitesurfing is so good here, that we experienced it to the max’. Also in Fiji, they share their fantastic experiences with the kite surfers who have booked an unforgettable kitesurfing holiday at Silverland.

But, it’s getting better again!

The coming year.

Silverland continues her journey.

King Kaufman's Sports Daily

Saints legend Archie Manning says come on down to New Orleans, and the Crescent City swoons for him all over again. Plus: Vick, Bonds.

By Salon Staff
September 27, 2007 3:00PM (UTC)
main article image

During Monday night's beatdown of the New Orleans Saints by the Tennessee Titans, ESPN sideline reporter Suzy Kolber asked Archie Manning one question and he answered it.

There's not much to say in the Crescent City about the Saints and their 0-3 record that can't be said by putting a paper bag over your head, but the old quarterback has tongues wagging.

"He has been quite the buzz around the city," said Grace Wilson of the New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corp., who described going to a meeting Tuesday in the French Quarter, where "everyone was fawning all over him, saying what a stand-up guy he is."

All he said was come on down.

Kolber asked, "Year 2 after Katrina, what should people know about where this community stands?"

Manning's answer: "Well, that I think that we're fighting back. I think there's so many people around the country, Suzy, that like to visit here, and they need to know that we're ready for 'em. You know, the hotels, the convention facilities, the restaurants and all the things people seem to enjoy about New Orleans, they can come back.

"And we need 'em back. There's still a long way to go, it's going to be a long time to get back to full strength, but everybody's trying real hard."

"Archie's comments were wonderful and right on target," said Wilson's boss, Lea Sinclair. "We couldn't have scripted them better than what he said."

Manning was traveling and couldn't be reached Wednesday, but his assistant said his comments weren't scripted. She said Manning wasn't working for anyone when he spoke with Kolber. He was just at the game as a former player and talking as a citizen of the city, where he still lives with his wife, Olivia.

I'm guessing a lot of people in TVlandia were surprised by what Manning said. With New Orleans' recovery having slipped from the top of the daily news cycle, I don't imagine that my reaction -- visit New Orleans? now? -- was that unusual.

But New Orleans, for all the devastation that remains, is slowly starting to experience a tourism revival.

Sinclair said the latest stats from the University of New Orleans show that New Orleans had as many visitors in the first eight months of this year as it had in all of 2006, about 3.7 million. Still a far cry from the record-breaking 10.1 million visitors in 2004, the year before Hurricane Katrina, or from the pre-Katrina yearly average of about 8 million, but an improvement.

"I'm not surprised that you're surprised," Sinclair said, "because while we know it, and we say it over and over and over every day in many languages, I just think that hard news tops us every time. So people turn that on, and they see crime and they see nothing but more devastated neighborhoods."

"It's not true," she continued. "I mean, it is true, you understand. It's definitely true. But it's not the whole story."

Tourism is by far New Orleans' largest industry, accounting for 35 percent of the city budget. There's obviously a huge interest in talking it up. So I went to someone I trust, writer and New Orleans resident Cynthia Joyce, one of Salon's original editors, who still occasionally writes for us.

"Manning's not just blowing smoke, not at all," she wrote in an e-mail. "The tourism industry, which centers mostly around food and music, is still viable. Better than that, actually. This has been one of the main challenges for New Orleans, communicating how much help is still needed and yet how it's still an exceptional place to visit."

Sinclair talked up what she calls the new trend of "voluntourism," where people come to town to help build houses in devastated areas for a few days, then go enjoy the French Quarter, which was spared by Katrina.

"Truthfully, if you come down as a tourist and hang out where you normally would, you would never know that Katrina hit," Sinclair said. "Now, that said, if you take the disaster tour and get on a Gray Line bus, you realize from that tour that yes, oh my God, 80 percent of the city is gone. So it really is a tale of two cities."

Joyce wrote that most people she knows who host visitors "offer a sort of 'high-low' tour -- disaster is part of the history of this place now, and most residents I know would be remiss if they didn't also offer a glimpse of devastated areas like New Orleans East, 9th Ward, etc. But again, you could easily stay in the uptown bubble and never deal with any of that."

It's fitting for Manning to turn himself into sort of a freelance ambassador for New Orleans tourism, since sports, along with music and food, are such a big draw. Sporting events, from Tulane football to the Saints to the return of the Sugar Bowl and the hosting of NCAA basketball Tournament games, were also among the first visible signs of recovery after Katrina.

"I can tell you that anytime we get positive comments in national sports shows it's of tremendous benefit to us because so many more millions of people are watching it in a great frame of mind," Sinclair said. "You know, in a relaxed, casual, let's sit back and watch the game, wonderful frame of mind. And that's usually when a lot of decisions are made for trips and such."

And that's why Archie Manning's a hero in New Orleans this week, just as he was on those rare occasions three decades ago when he was able to lead the 'Aints to a victory.

But: "One more caveat," Joyce writes. "The crime problem is real. The town is smaller now, which brings the crime closer. So any fools who come down here thinking they're visiting Disney World do so at their peril."

Michael Vick just keeps stepping in it [PERMALINK]

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Wednesday that Vick, who is on pretrial release supervision while he awaits sentencing Dec. 10, tested positive for marijuana on Sept. 13.

The test means Vick will have tighter bail restrictions now, including more drug testing, home confinement, and drug and mental-health counseling. And he has to pay for the monitoring of his home confinement too.

Not much to say about the latest development in this sad case except that it looks like another point in favor of the theory that, for all the complicated sociocultural reasons a man like Vick might risk an incredibly lucrative career by getting involved in something as flamboyantly, obviously career-destroyingly illegal as an interstate dogfighting operation, the best explanation for Michael Vick's otherwise inexplicable behavior is that he's just a straight-up idiot.

That little cost-benefit analysis we all do all the time, even if we don't call it that -- should I tell that 6-foot-8 drunk guy who appears to be packing heat that I didn't like it just now when he stepped on my foot? -- Michael Vick doesn't do that.

It might be a little late for this suggestion, but: He should really look into doing that.

Barry Bonds to auction self to highest bidder [PERMALINK]

Now that the San Francisco Giants have said they won't be re-signing Barry Bonds, something for which I've been pining for years because I wanted my favorite team back, let's vote on where he should go.

Hey, if it's good enough for a ball, it's good enough for a ballplayer. I vote we do with Bonds what designer Mark Ecko, who bought Bonds' 756th home run ball, announced Wednesday that visitors to his Web site have decided to do that with the famed spheroid.

Let's stamp him with an asterisk and send him to Cooperstown.

Actually, I'm hoping Bonds signs with the Oakland A's, who are also, ironically -- at least I think that's irony -- a favorite team of mine, because I think that would be a fabulous middle finger by both the A's and Bonds, who are suddenly allied in not enjoying happy thoughts about the Giants.

My appreciation of a well-played middle finger outweighs my loyalty to my favorite team. I realize this makes me a bad person. I am comfortable with that.

But really I'm just trying to do my part to make "stamp him/her/it with an asterisk and send him/her/it to Cooperstown" an all-purpose exclamation along the lines of "Slap my ass and call me Sally."

What's that you say? Barry's going to sign with the Minnesota Twins? The Minnesota Twins?!

Well, stamp me with an asterisk and send me to Cooperstown!

OK, maybe not.

Brian and Jeannette are passionate about music and dancing – and more importantly sharing their passion with others. It’s rare to find amazing dancers who want to teach others so enthusiastically, I’m so glad I found their class.

One of the unique aspects of their class is the 8-week format. Instead of learning a new completely unrelated pattern each class, they focus on a single challenging pattern over the course of 8 weeks, allowing students to really master the techniques. Their focus is on cultivating social dancers and they provide a lot of encouragement and support to help students gain confidence to do so. They have built a strong community of dancers in their studio who share their passion and are equally happy to help others.

If you take the Thursday class you can also come to their Sunday afternoon class for free, which is sometimes taught by Eric. There you can review the pattern being worked on, ask more questions and fine-tune further.

My dancing has improved tremendously since I started going to their class. I would highly recommend it to everyone.

Acknowledging our living relationship with God

Laura Digan July 25, 2020 0

Most of us have never experienced a year like 2020. And as we have journeyed through the many differing trials and emotions of lockdown for many of us our relationship with God has changed.

For some of us the closing of church buildings has allowed God to come and dwell with us in our homes, growing and deepening our relationship with him.

Some of us have embraced new technologies that help us to meet God in a completely new way within the virtual space.

Some of us have returned to faith seeking comfort and meaning in a time of fear and uncertainty.

Some of us are falling back in love with God after a period of estrangement.

Some of us are getting to know God for the very first time.

To acknowledge the many ways our relationship with God has been and is changing, this Sunday (26 July) we are inviting you to re-affirm your baptismal vows during our Sunday Live Service. This service is not for you to be baptised again but to affirm in a service that your Baptism in Christ is real and significant for you. You will use the water to remind and affirm within yourself that you have been engrafted into Christ and his church, and that through the covenant of God’s grace your sins are forgiven.

If you have not been baptised we invite you to take time during the service to reflect on your relationship with God and to take the opportunity to find out more about baptism and what it means for those who have been baptised.

If you would like to re-affirm your baptismal vows along with us on Sunday, then prepare by spending some time with God in prayer beforehand. You may want to read some passages of scripture: Mark 1: 4-11,  Acts 8: 26-40 or Romans 6: 3-11.  Before the service begins set out a small bowl and a jug of water next to wherever you will be joining from. During the service you will be invited to either immerse a hand in the water or, if you wish to,  make a sign of the cross on your forehead.

We hope you will join us for this service of re-affirmation as we remember the grace and favour God freely extends to us.

Ephesians 1: 13-14 (NIVUK)

13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession – to the praise of his glory.

We have been marked says Paul.

Are we branded like cattle in the old days with the mark of their master? Or perhaps like newer brands in the present: logos shining from our clothing, shopping and electronic devices; singing out for all to see to whom we owe our capitalist allegiance.

I’m not sure how I feel about being marked, by any of these things, or by God. I spent a fair amount of my life trying to hide my faith in plain sight from colleagues or friends. So have I been outed? Was I ever even as incognito as I like to think? Probably the answer is both yes and no. I haven’t been branded like cattle by God and, unless I choose to wear a symbol day to day I am not claimed outwardly by the ‘logos’ of Christ. But I am different since I heard and believed as an adult. To some it will have been in where they saw me start to spend my time, to some it will have been in the things they saw me taking time to do better or the people I took time to know more.

So perhaps the mark of God on us all is visible after all but it is not one of which we need to be afraid.

You mark us with your promise and your ways
You mark us with your love and your grace
Please teach us to see your mark in others and be proud to show it off in ourselves

The Hard Truth About Gum Diseases!

Periodontitis is a severe infection of gums. It is generally caused by bacteria that accumulate around your teeth and gums and can spoil your soft tissues. It can destroy the alveolar bone which provides support to your teeth if it goes untreated. This indeed, may lead to a chance of heart attack, stroke, and other health troubles. The term “Periodontitis” actually means “inflammation around the tooth.” Periodontitis can cause teeth to loosen or gradually it might lead to tooth loss.

Symptoms of Periodontitis

  • You may find swollen or puffy gums

  • Gums may bleed often

  • Your gums may turn to bright red, dusky red or purplish

  • Bad breath

  • You may find pus between your teeth and gums

  • Whenever you chew you may feel pain

  • Loose teeth and gradual loss of teeth

  • Alteration in the way your teeth fit together while you bite.

We know that our mouths are normally loaded with bacteria. Studies reveal that the birth of Periodontitis starts actually with plaque. Plaque is a type of gluey, colorless structure or layer. It generally develops from bacteria together with mucus and a wide range of particles. Visit your dentist at the right moment! Because plaque might harden enough to transform into tartar and grow into Periodontitis!

SDPBSSan Diego Party Bus Service

The best bars in Corona

Luna Modern Mexican Kitchen

980 Montecito Dr, Corona, CA 92879 | (951) 735-8888
Luna Modern Mexican Kitchen is one of the most enticing spots that we could ever dream of recommending to your San Diego Party Bus Service customers in the Corona, CA area. The "modern" in the name is definitely deserved, and the upscale vibe that they present is just flawless. The bar is nothing short of gorgeous and they feature so many outstanding bottles of tequila for you to choose from. The furnishings are rich and elegant but comfortable. The drink menu is amazing, and as far as the food goes, we'd most highly recommend the drunken salmon, the habanero ribs, and the spinach enchiladas. Ole!

SGC Japanese Restaurant

113 Corona Mall, Corona, CA 92879 | (951) 738-0650
SGC Japanese Restaurant is another great one for fine Japanese fare in the Corona area. They feature all-you-can-eat sushi here as well as a regular sushi menu, a nice dining area that is separate from the sushi bar, and some of the most outstanding service that you'll ever receive. The lemon roll and the shooting star are two of our top choices here. If you're a lover of teppanyaki, they have a separate area for that too, and the entertainment that comes along with your food is a big draw in and of itself. They do not have a full bar here but they have a nice array of beer and wine. Television for sports? You bet! They do close down between lunch and dinner.

Ricky Sushi

1191 Magnolia Ave, Corona, CA 92879 | (951) 279-0610
Ricky Sushi is one of our favorite sushi options out here in the Corona area, and it's very clear that our San Diego Party Bus Service customers agree with that recommendation. Many of our groups have remarked that the prices are very affordable for the super high quality of food that is served. And this isn't cheap sushi by any means! Absolutely top notch stuff. The udon bowls are so mouth wateringly good that you'll wish you could take one to go, and the complementary green tea ice cream is a must-have after your meal, so great to cool you down after a hot bowl of udon and a spicy tuna roll! Closed Sundays, Mondays, and between lunch and dinner.

Zip Codes: 92503, 92860, 92879, 92881, 92882, 92883

Marui Sushi

2347 California Ave, Corona, CA 92881 | (951) 734-5800
One more sushi restaurant before we move on! Can we help it if the Corona area is so well known for these excellent Japanese restaurants? This one's got really inviting ambiance and some of the freshest seafood around. The hi yaki is our favorite appetizer on the menu and we're just in love with the marble lobster roll. The spicy tuna rolls that come along with it are an added touch that we just adore! The sea urchin is a great choice too, and if you've never tried it, this is as good a place as any to do so! As with the previous mention, this one does not feature a full bar but does have a respectable selection of beer and wine.

Sanchez Tacos

430 River Rd, Corona, CA 92880 | (951) 371-5401
San Diego Party Bus Service's final recommendation for the Corona area is a fantastic little Mexican restaurant known as Sanchez Tacos. This super cozy place offers both indoor and outdoor seating and some of the best tacos that you'll ever taste. The downside for groups is that the tables are bolted into position, so you won't be able to gather in the way that you might want to, but you can always grab some to-go to enjoy on the bus, or just sit at separate tables for your quick and yummy meal. The chicken fajitas are our top choice and we just adore their signature cilantro dressing. Everything is so affordable here!

Review: The Rancher’s Second Chance

A broken engagement brings Laura back to a hometown she hasn’t lived in for twelve years. Eli is home again, too—at least most of him returned from Afghanistan.

Once neighbors and best friends, will they be able to leave their scars behind for a new start…together?

Who says you can’t go home again? The Rancher’s Second Chance by Davalynn Spencer is a romance from Heartsong Presents and a well-written one at that.

Smarting from betrayal, Laura Bell leaves the big city behind and returns to the small, California foothills home where she lived until she was twelve. She wants to start over—return to her roots as a country girl and lose the more sophisticated woman she’d become to please her former fiance′.

Eli Hawthorne is the cowboy next door, the grown up boy whose pet name for her used to be “Laura Bell, you ding-a-ling.” (Okay, that would annoy me as much as it does Laura.) Eli deals with his own drastic changes. Even though the townspeople consider him a hometown hero, his injuries as a Marine in Afghanistan leave him feeling defective and spiritually empty.

In some ways, this novel surprised me. Yes, it is a romance, but it wasn’t all booming hearts and quivering lips. It’s a story of two people with a deep connection that time and circumstances can’t destroy.

Ms. Spencer used an old, damaged oak tree as a wonderful metaphor for both Laura’s and Eli’s emotional scars:

Tears threatened at the sight of its tragic beauty, and she was a child again, running to crawl inside its big hollow heart.

Thick bark lipped over the edges of a deep scar, and the tree stood as if supported by only the outer skin. No core, no solid trunk like other trees, just a stiff, crusty mantel that held it upright.

She still didn’t understand how something could survive such damage and live wrapped around an empty space where once a heart had been.

But she knew what it felt like.

Wow. Nice.

A subplot of mystery is threaded through the story and completed satisfactorily. However, I found another subplot to be a bit unnecessary and incomplete. Yet the overall story is strong and the characters worth getting to know.

I hope you’ll enjoy The Rancher’s Second Chance as much as I did.

Disclosure of Material Connection: This book came to me free from the author, Davalynn Spencer, with the hope that I would mention it on this blog. There was no requirement for me to write a positive review and the opinions I have expressed above are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.

The New Mexico Legislature adjourned its special session Tuesday, leaving state government with a balanced budget but — thanks to vetoes by Gov. Susana Martinez — wafer-thin reserves. That caused one Senate leader to predict a 50-50 chance that New Mexico’s credit rating will be downgraded again, which would drive up borrowing costs.

Without the new taxes and other revenue measures passed by the Legislature, Senate Finance Committee Chairman John Arthur Smith said, the state will have only about four-tenths of 1 percent of cash in reserve. That’s a steep decline from more than 11 percent in 2015.

Democrats argued Tuesday that while the short session that convened last week restored funding for higher education, which Martinez had stripped from the budget they passed in March, New Mexico is still vulnerable to further financial upheaval.

Smith, D-Deming, criticized part of the budget package endorsed by Martinez that will use bond money to prop up the general fund. “That is not responsible financing,” he said.

Referring to the governor, Smith said, “We gave her what she requested, which I know deep in my heart is not responsible, and, God, I hope she knows it was not responsible. But she’ll be back next year with the same request.”

Senate President Pro Tem Mary Kay Papen, D-Las Cruces, agreed. “Fiscal mismanagement and politics took the front seat,” she told colleagues.

The session began May 24 and lawmakers recessed the following day after passing four pieces of legislation — two fixing the budget and two raising taxes as well as closing tax loopholes in a bid to shore up state finances. By recessing rather than adjourning Thursday, lawmakers gave the governor three days to act on the bills rather than 20 days.

Martinez acted Friday, keeping her vow to veto the tax measures, such as a proposed 5-cent increase in the tax on gasoline, arguing the proposals would have placed too great a burden on New Mexicans.

“The ability of the Legislature to in one breath decry the financial inequities in our state and in the next seek to take more from the pockets of New Mexicans is remarkable,” Martinez wrote in a message to lawmakers.

While Democrats argued the money was needed to rebuild reserves after a dip in revenue last year from, among other things, a decline oil and gas prices, they did not challenge the vetoes when they returned to the Capitol on Tuesday. Instead, Democrats in the Senate launched into a jeremiad before adjourning, accusing the governor of financial recklessness.

The special session was made necessary in April when Martinez vetoed all funds for colleges and universities and the entire budget for the Legislative branch.

Rep. Nathan Small, D-Las Cruces, described Martinez’s higher education vetoes as a “self-created crisis.”

“I think there’s a huge sigh of relief in the ability to move forward now that the budget for higher ed has been signed,” Small said. “But it’s unfortunate that the effect [of the vetoes] will be felt for a long while. … As the uncertain revenue picture unfolds, there’s relief right now, but who knows where we’ll be as we go through the rest of the year.”

The higher education vetoes were blasted by university presidents who said the move caused uncertainty for both students and faculty. And Democratic lawmakers unsuccessfully asked the state Supreme Court to overturn the vetoes.

That uncertainty followed a year of financial tumult in which the state saw a decline in tax revenue. That led lawmakers to tap reserves and cut funding for higher education and other programs, and a major credit rating agency downgraded New Mexico’s bond rating.

A recent uptick in revenue has left lawmakers hopeful the state can make it through the next fiscal year but, as Smith said, they will have to keep their fingers crossed.

“Right now, I think everybody was just tired,” said Rep. Jimmie Hall, R-Albuquerque. “We did get a constitutionally balanced budget. … I really think what we need to look for in the future is things that are not so ideological from the Republicans or Democrats as to how to approach our employment situation, because I don’t think oil is going to ever come back to the $100 [per barrel] level.”

Still unclear is exactly how much the special session will cost taxpayers.

Though the session technically lasted through the weekend, all legislators pledged to decline their $146 per diem payment for the four days they were in recess.

They can claim pay for about three days as well as mileage for traveling between Santa Fe and their districts.

Aides say the session will be paid for with the Legislature’s cash reserves, not with money from the state’s general fund.

Unlock Your 7 Chakras to Attain a Better Life

7 Chakras are energy centers spread across the body. Chakra is a Sanskrit word which means wheel and can be thought of as a spinning wheel of energy. It is the powerhouse of energy that drives every human being. There are major and minor energy centers located at different points of the body and define various physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of life. 7 Chakras are also said to be the link between the spiritual body and the physical one. If the energy flow is blocked, it will result in physical and emotional distress. These 7 Chakras are invisible subtle energy points that are charged when the body’s internal energy synchronizes with the cosmic energies around us. The principles of Vastu Shastra are base on these principles. It enhances the energies around us in our favor and fills us with positivity. This has a long term benefit on health, wealth, spirituality and overall well being. Saral Vaastu has expertise in tuning the surroundings as per Vastu Shastra and enhance the flow of positive energy around people. Saral Vaastu can help you identify the right design for your house, the paint colors in particular rooms, the appropriate decorations in individual rooms etc. Together all these aspects will open the body’s 7 chakras and result in positivity and peace within the family.

Methods used by Saral Vaastu to balance the 7 Chakras for overall well being. Know the Chakras:

1. Muladhara or Root Chakra:

The first of the 7 Chakras, it is said to be the root chakra which is located at the base of the spine and closest to the Earth. Saral Vaastu tips for enhancing the flow of Earth energy in a house are effective for this chakra. This Chakra is for stability and survival.

2. Swadhisthana Chakra or Sacral Chakra:

This chakra is located between the base of your spine and the navel. It is ruled by the water element. Vastu shastra can uncap the full potential of the water element in any dwelling. Saral Vaastu can pinpoint the exact location where the water element is to be placed in a house. This element opens the options for wealth creation and protects general well being.

3. Manipura Chakra or Navel Chakra:

The navel chakra is located on the navel. It dictates person’s self-confidence. It is ruled by the fire element. In Vastu the fire element is mostly represented by the kitchen design. Saral Vaastu can help you design Vastu compliant kitchens.

4. Anahata Chakra or Heart Chakra:

This chakra is associated with compassion, affection, trust and generosity, all things governed by the heart. It is located at the centre of chest and ruled by the air element. When a home is designed as per Vastu Shastra that boosts the air element, the people residing experience growth, enthusiasm and happiness.

5. Vishuddha Chakra or Throat Chakra:

It is located at the hollow of the throat and is governs our communication and self-expression. Vastu Shastra for improving a person’s confidence and self esteem opens this chakra.

6. Ajna Chakra or Third Eye Chakra:

This chakra is located at the center of the eyebrow and governs thoughts and imagination. This chakra can be balanced by the water element which opens the clarity of thoughts, opportunities, and visions.

7. Sahasarara Chakra or Crown Chakra:

This chakra is located at the top of the head and connects us to the cosmic awareness. Saral Vaastu optimizes the space element in a house to balance the Sahasarara Chakra.

Barbra Streisand - WAY WE WERE, THE Şarkı Sözleri

Light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?
Mem?ries, may be beautiful and yet
What?s too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember...
The way we were...
the way we were...
Bu şarkı sözü 1031 kere okundu.

A warm welcome and a perfect pint are guaranteed at this traditional pub, tucked away down a quiet street off the Strand.

Recently stylishly refurbished, the historic pub still retains a number of original features including beautiful stained glass leaded windows.

It boasts an extensive range of excellent cask ales and lagers and a choice selection of premium wines and spirits.

And if you’re feeling peckish, the pub serves a selection of delicious home-cooked lunchtime bar snacks including sausage rolls and pork pies.

Only a stone’s throw away from Covent Garden and the heart of London’s Theatreland, it is a great place to stop off for a drink while shopping, or for pre-theatre drinks.

It is also popular with local ale enthusiasts and the capital’s commuters, who enjoy getting together after work for a drink at their friendly ‘local’.

The Savoy Tap is an historic pub dating back more than 150 years.

As demonstrated by the original sign which is still visible, the pub was originally affiliated with the William Younger & Co. brewery.

It has been known as the Savoy Barracks, Suttling Horse and Savoy Palace, and was rebuilt in 1926 as the New Savoy Tavern.

It was named the Savoy Tup in 1998 before changing to the Savoy Tap in 2018.

Book 8: The Sharp End of the Stick — Part IV: Do You Mind if I Rewind?

Narrator: Captain Tagon and his Toughs are launching an all-out surprise attack using every weapon at their disposal.
Narrator: One thousand, six hundred and fifteen teraport=enabled smart-missiles (A.K.A. "terapedoes") lead the charge.
Narrator: The target vessel's teraport interdiction is active but overwhelmed. Three hundred terapedoes survive the jump.
Narrator: They surround the target vessel and race inward at point-six cee.
Narrator: The target vessel launches anti-missile munitions and starts to run.
Narrator: Less than three seconds have transpired since the initial the initial teraport. With the target on the run, the Mercenary Warship Touch-And-Go 'ports in just outside the now-very-hot interdiction zone, along with a squadron of armor.
Narrator: The terapedoes are thinned by countermeasures, but sixty-two of them close to breach the target's shields.
Narrator: Much like sperm cells in human reproductive tracts, the first one through will get to be very special.
Narrator: Terapedo number nine-seven-seven breaches the target shields first, jinks through turret fire, and delivers its payload. . .
Narrator: . . . A high-energy radio transmission.
TAG: Surrender or be destroyed!
Narrator: And in the spirit of taking analogies too far, this is followed by a pregnant pause.

February 2021

Selected from: One Minute Mysteries: 65 Short Mysteries You Solve With Science!

Freeze Fall

It was late winter, and the temperature had just fallen after several mild days. To make the walk home from school even colder, it had rained earlier and a chilly mist still hung in the air.

Tom and Evan glanced up at the flashing clock in front of the bank. It said "32° F, 0° C." They stopped in a candy store for a snack and to warm up before they continued on their way home.

Their shoes splashed through puddles as they headed toward the railroad bridge. The bridge, several hundred yards long, crossed the river far below and had a narrow sidewalk next to train tracks. It could get scary crossing the bridge when a train was on it, but the only way to avoid it was to take a different route that added ten minutes to the walk.

"I think we should go the long way," Evan said. "The bridge is probably icy."

"We haven't seen any ice. These sidewalks are just wet," Tom said.

A few moments later they were on the bridge. Tom's foot slipped on a patch of ice and he fell.

"I told you so," Evan said, teasing him.

"How did you know there would be ice here when there isn't ice anywhere else?" Tom asked as Evan helped him up.
