Suit Up in Style, The Black Tux Way
Tuxedo Rentals Done Right

the black tux 2017 online tuxedo rental service grey gray charcoal suit black tie casual wedding dress style inspiration

The Black Tux offers modern rental suits and tuxedos that actually fit.

When it comes to weddings, most brides dedicate a huge amount of time to finding that one perfect dress. Wouldn’t it make sense that the groom looks equally good in his suit as well? No sweat, The Black Tux is here to give all stylish grooms and their groomsmen a great reason to celebrate.

the black tux 2017 online tuxedo rental service grey gray charcoal suit casual fun wedding dress style inspiration

Say “yes” to stylish tuxedos and suits.

Too often, the words “tux rental” conjure images of awkwardly fitting suits that look like they came right off a 90s catalog, which honestly, isn’t really a problem if you actually had a 90s-themed wedding. For the rest who’d rather your leading man channel contemporary flair, you’ll know that when it comes to a great looking suit, the perfect fit is everything. Which is exactly what sets The Black Tux apart from other rental companies.

Before we delve further into why The Black Tux is different from the average tux rental company, let’s feast our eyes on the modern man’s must-have: a good-looking grey suit (or three!)…

the black tux 2017 online tuxedo rental service the hemmingway outfit italian merino wool notch lapels shoes

The Hemingway Outfit. This complete outfit includes: the suit, pocket square, vest, dress shirt, necktie, cufflinks and shoes.

The Black Tux story began a few years ago, when its co-founder, then a groom himself, Andrew Blackmon, realized the suits offered by traditional tuxedo shop rentals were just not good enough. He and his groomsman, Patrick, concurred that guys deserve better, especially for their weddings, and together, they founded The Black Tux. The Black Tux solves the problems inherent with run-of-the-mill tux rentals: lack of quality, fabrics, poor fit and selection of styles, and not to mention the hassle of dragging the guys to and from the ole tux shop for fittings and, ugh, returns.

Okay, what's The Black Tux game-changing strategy? Offer better suits (no cheap polyester pieces here, think red carpet worthy, fine wool tuxes in modern cuts) and make the suit rental experience as stress-free as possible. Order a suit – or an entire, professionally-styled outfit, complete with accessories -- online from their great selection of modern and classic formal wear styles. Your suit will arrive 14 days ahead of the event. If something’s not perfect? A new suit will be sent right away – for free. Returns? They’ve got that covered too. Just send your order back in the box it arrived in, use the provided prepaid return label and send it back within 3 days. That simple? Yes!

Freaking out about dress codes (cocktail attire? black tie optional? help!) and the whole "Tuxedo vs. Suit" business? You'll love this Style Guide! It's part of The Black Tux's The Grooms Guide, but it has plenty of very useful info for guests as well.

An ambassador is at hand to help with sizing and style advice, while you and yours get to view and try on different styles from their collection.

Prof. Yinon Rudich

Office +972-8-934-4237

This Department, established in 1990, is dedicated to understanding the complex inter-relationships among the major Earth Systems, and between the human need for energy and the consequent impact on the Earth's environment. This requires knowledge of the interdependent components that together constitute the "environment", as well as a commitment to protect this environment by improving the manner in which water, land and energy are utilized by humans.
The Department's research activities have several general areas of activities. One focuses on water and includes hydrology, geochemistry, land-plant-atmosphere interactions and oceanography. A second activity is in the use of stable isotopes for reconstructions of paleoclimatic and of biosphere-atmosphere dynamics, and a third is in the area of atmospheric chemistry and dynamics, and cloud physics. A fourth area of research is in planetary sciences.  The Department is distinguished by the interactions among scientists from different backgrounds and expertise, which is critical to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the global environment. We also promote international collaboration based on short- and long-term visits for research and training by scientists who complement existing activities in the Department. The interdisciplinary nature of the Department is well reflected in the academic training of the research students. Their backgrounds vary enormously from physics and mathematics through geology to biology. We encourage the participation of students who are interested in not only investigating in depth a specific subject, but who are also interested in a broader, more integrative approach to science.

Case Study: Honda

Working with Honda of the UK Manufacturing LTD (HUM) to embed enhanced project management with demonstrable business benefits.

Founded in 1947, Honda is one of the world’s most successful automotive companies, dedicated to supplying products of the highest quality at a reasonable price for worldwide customer satisfaction.

Believing that “technology is a means to serving people”the company’s inherent love of challenge and innovation has in recent years operated in a business environment marked by significant changes in the global economy and market structure as well as acceleration of environmental initiatives on a global basis.

Since 1989 Honda’s Swindon manufacturing plant has been responsible for critical product output for the European market, currently producing approximately 600 cars every day. Having recognised the need to further streamline that output with a coherent and company-specific project management methodology portfolio, HUM identified Wellingtone Project Management Ltd to roll out the standardisation and training needed to embed a new era of PM techniques within the company’s ethos.

The Background: Developing Coherent Techniques to Improve Lean Outputs

Nick Mackey from the Training and Development (T&D) Team at HUM, recalls
the challenges the company faced that led him to engage Wellingtone’s services.

“In 2011 the T&D team was quite small. Despite that, we had a number of initiatives we were planning to do with improving performance. Entire sections of our teams are focused on engineering, others are involved in IT, cost initiatives, basic stability and structural projects, so we have huge amounts of logistical work that have to be planned and managed effectively. At that time we felt that there was a need for some consistency in our approach to bring those isolated project pockets together.”

The Challenge: Developing a Coherent, Yet Flexible Approach to Fit HUM’s Working Ethos

Typically for a company dedicated to innovation and the power of dreams, the T&D team believed that out-of-the-box methodologies and documentation did not have the capacity to match HUM’s working practices effectively.

“We didn’t want to go down prescribed Prince2® route as we felt it was a little technical and dry for us” says Nick. “When we consulted with Wellingtone they showed us that they could assist in bringing all of the different elements of our PM approach together into a two day training programme that would suit our strategy. With their help we contacted a number of people from around the company and brought them together to compare their PM approaches. There was some consistency there already, but we needed to build on that to make the PM model feel like it was by Honda for Honda.”

The Approach: Internalising Standardised Procedures with a Sound Business Case

Wellingtone initially worked with HUM to develop and deliver new standardised documentation via a two-day training course.

“Wellingtone helped us to get hold of some good documents that were already being used in pockets of the business, but essentially we wanted to encourage delegates on the course to use our standardised documents for greater consistency of approach – especially in the scoping and planning phases” explains Nick. “At our end, supported by Wellingtone, we created a delegate questionnaire to establish previous/current PM experience, so that we could ascertain staff’s entry level in this area.”

“That has enabled us to develop a baseline for measuring the impact and cost benefits of the PM approach we’re implementing. For example, next year we’re entering into a 24 month, £50M pound project, and creating the baseline against which we can assess skills progression, which in turn means that we can establish the business case for allocating staff to the training. Wellingtone has helped us to structure the T&D programme so that we can start to understand the correlation between training benefits and project outcomes. The statistics will become more quantitative as time goes on and we gather more data, but already the trends are clear and we can see what people might be doing that they haven’t done before, and the benefits of that to the business.”

The Result: Clear Correlations between PM Training and Business Benefits

Already, HUM is working to translate early quantitative results of Wellingtone’s T&D input.

“We have trained 55 people so far, who are cumulatively responsible for more than £95M of project investment” Nick says, “so we’re already confident that we’re using our investment in Wellingtone well. Facilitating training attendance can be tricky in a lean environment. But being a large organisation that reports to Japan, over the years there has been a stream of project work to do with IT, new models and the like, and that is developing an inherent awareness that we are pioneering some amazing projects. By taking the best of our working practices and marrying those with best practice in the PM world, we can ensure that we have a common understanding and transferred knowledge across the business.”

Adding Value: A Flexible Approach from a Skilled and Transparent Supplier

“Looking to the immediate future, HUM is focusing on one particular part of the business to get stakeholder engagement at the top level”. “Wellingtone is helping with that by suggesting practical strategies to achieve that crucial buy-in”, says Nick. “They are also adding value with Microsoft Project training, to align what our staff are learning with their input into our enterprise management systems. Wellingtone have been very patient with us – especially in tweaking and changing materials so that they use our specific language and guidelines. They’re willing to respond to our specific and numerous requirements. The two day course can now probably be covered in a day and a half thanks to their input as the project has progressed. They have even provided some of the training hardware we needed and many of the documents are better than those currently used in my opinion! The logistics and costings have been transparent and realistic. I would speak very positively of the relationship we’ve built with them.”

The Future: Demonstrating Excellence through Advanced Project Management Implementation

“At the moment approximately 50 people are waiting for training and they have varying PM responsibilities and experience” Nick explains. “What we’re aiming for is to establish a strong project team structure in the business, so that the different departments (IT, engineering, new models etc.) can be governed by a steering group to achieve a greater understanding and consistency across our projects and make sure that we’re using the best of what emerges from our parent company in Japan. Wellingtone is very open to changing the process at any point, and it’s likely that we may adjust our approach as we continue to learn what works well for us and what doesn’t. We know that they will support us in that. Currently we’re tackling the process group by group, and looking for those high level sponsors to drive the process forward.”

Vince Hines, Managing Director of Wellingtone, echoes these positive sentiments.

“To see a T&D department embracing new project management techniques to such a comprehensive and quantified level is a great pleasure for me” he says. “Our work with them represents a real opportunity for them to review who is running projects, the value of the projects, the value of training engagement and how to create a model for training going forward. In my view the training we have delivered has really sparked a recognition of the benefits of good project management in business. The process has sparked a valuable internal debate as to the value of moving from the heavy document driven approach to a modern PM approach. Everyone at Wellingtone is proud and delighted to be part of a T&D based PM programme that represents a flagship organisational development for HUM.”

Examples of Delegate Feedback

Of the 55 people trained, common responses concerning the value of training have included:

  • The ability to pre-empt project clashes
  • Better project planning
  • Better communication, meaning less meetings but more productive.
  • An enhanced learning and understanding of pre-planned stages
  • I can now use MS Project more effectively
  • I have a broader and deeper outlook on what I want to achieve
  • I am more confident in project work
  • I can feed back to stakeholders efficiently at any time
  • I can now confidently use a project initiation document
  • The new standardised documents are very useful
  • I can take a more structured approach to risk management allowing more controlI am more aware of project life cycle and the impact of my work on it

The People Called Free Methodist: Snapshots

From the first, our denomination has seen a place for women in leadership. We followed John Wesley. However, his encouragement of women workers did not permit ordination. And Free Methodists ordained women, only as deacons until June of 1974 when the General Conference made the highest ordination — elder — possible. M. Jean Parry was the first woman ordained elder.

Marti Ensign, former missionary with her doctor husband to Africa, applied for ordination. She had served as assistant pastor at Eastside church, Seattle. Well-known as a retreat speaker and encourager, her ordination as elder made possible still further ministries, such as administering the Lord’s Supper and Baptism. She put it this way: “I want to build a base for my own baseless ministry as a layperson.”

But the going was not easy. At a clergy conference in the East for example, she encountered “some pretty negative feelings” from men who saw her as a threat. “I felt like I had to explain myself quite a lot,” she said. “But I see ordination as a base to do ministry to women and families.”

Mrs. Ensign worked toward ordination. When the big day came, in November of 1975, the event made nationwide news. More importantly, her specialized ministries now have the full authority of the church. More, she helped pave the way for other women to undergo elders orders.****

The women’s movement in the church, nationwide, grows. The high level activity of the Women’s Missionary Fellowship International documents the increasing role of women as leaders. Annual conferences, college trustees, committees, church boards — all see women in significant numbers and benefit from a perspective not possible in male-dominated groups. The story of women in the development of the Canadian church is told by R. Wayne Kleinsteuber, Coming of Age: The Making of a Canadian Free Methodist Church (Light and Life Press, Canada).

Canada: Jurisdictional Conference and a Bishop

As early as 1971 ferment, generated by Canadian nationalism, began to work for an independent church. Why couldn’t Canada have its own General Conference? Sel Belsher, lively Toronto businessman, and Alvin Hill, Ottawa Teacher’s College professor, spearheaded the idea.

****U.S. News and World Report (December 3, 1984, p. 76) says that across the U.S. about 5% of clergy are now women. In 1973 there were an estimated 6,000; today 16,000. From 1972-83 female seminarians grew from 3,558 to 13,451 (p. 77).

Best Boats 2016: Bavaria Open 40

Posted on by West Coast Marine Yacht Services India

Cruising Multihull 31-40ft

Image Source:

Bavaria Open 40

Known for its monohulls, Bavaria recently acquired French catamaran builder Nautitech and enters the multihull market with the new Open 40, a boat that has been making some serious waves at the many boat shows where it appeared this year.

Naval architect Marc Lombard has created a high-freeboard design with narrow hulls and fixed keels. The reverse bows hint at good performance, and the hard chines running from bow to stern both help part the water to keep the decks dry and provide a bit of extra interior volume while permitting waterline beam to be kept narrow. At 17,000lb, the boat is fairly light, with solid glass below the waterline and a cored, infused laminate above.

With those narrow hulls, the Open 40 sails like a witch, more than holding her own upwind—not a favorite angle of sail for most cats. Bavaria has also changed up a few options recently and added engine controls at the helms on both sides, which makes docking on either port or starboard a breeze. The interior finish is somewhat dark, which contrasts well with the boat’s white paneling, and a small shelf was added between the galley and the settee to provide a dish and cup rack.

The real story behind this boat is suggested by her name: the “Open 40.” On most cats, the saloon and galley are spread over about two thirds of the available main deck space, leaving the cockpit with the remaining third. However, aboard the Bavaria Open, this ratio has been reversed, with the idea that the cockpit is the area where cruising crews spend most of their time, making this Bavaria indeed much more “open.” The flow is excellent from the interior, past the starboard-side dinette and all the way to the transoms. Protection from the sun and rain is provided by a hardtop that extends all the way aft and also serves as the anchor for the mainsheet traveler.

Visibility forward from the helms is excellent overall, and even reasonable to the opposing forward corner through the ports. Best of all, this boat is as fun to sail off the wind as it is on a beat, providing a good turn of speed even at lower wind speeds, and will not disappoint in either private ownership or on charter.

Rains test wastewater system

By Toni Wilson · Monday, September 24, 2012
 The city’s wastewater system worked well during a recent heavy rain, members of the Nichols City Council were told on Sept. 12. Work done to the system and city pumps in the past two years made a difference.

In other business, the council:

• Heard a report from Police Chief Jeff Jerak, who discussed the October Festival.

Tiano O’Dell in Charleston, West Virginia provides answers to some frequently asked questions about accident injuries.

Do I have a case?

The only way to be certain about whether you have a personal injury case is to talk to an experienced accident injury attorney. Medical problems caused by an accident may not be fully recognized for months or even years afterwards. Losses from medical bills, decreased earning potential and many other problems can pile up unexpectedly. An attorney with experience representing personal injury victims and negotiating with insurance companies can analyze your case, determine fair compensation for your losses and devise a strategy for obtaining damages.

How much is my case worth?

Compensation for your injuries depends on several factors, including the extent of your injuries, physical and mental pain and suffering, the amount and length of medical treatment, economic hardship or financial loss, decreased earning potential, and physical impairment and/or disfigurement.

Should I accept an insurance company’s settlement offer?

Before accepting a settlement, it is always in your best interest to consult an attorney. Adjusters work for the insurance company, not for you. Their job is to settle the matter for the lowest possible cost to the company. Your attorney will work for you and ensure that a settlement results in full compensation for your injuries. You don’t want to sign away your rights only to later discover that your injuries and losses were worse than you originally thought.

Will I have to go to court?

Many injury claims can be settled for their full value through negotiation, mediation or arbitration, without having to go to court. However, some complex cases may require that you participate in legal proceedings.

When should I call an attorney?

You should consult an attorney as soon as possible after being injured. In most cases there is a time limit for filing claims after an injury occurs, and if this deadline passes, your claim could be dismissed. In addition, finding witnesses and gathering evidence to support your case becomes more difficult the longer you wait.

How do I choose an attorney?

The success of personal injury attorneys is based on several factors, including education, legal skill and experience. The attorney you retain should have a proven record of winning cases similar to yours and should be willing to thoroughly explain his or her recommendations based on the specific details of your case. Your attorney should also have extensive experience settling cases through negotiation and trying cases in court. Another very important factor is for you to feel comfortable with your attorney, and confident that your interests will be a top priority.

How much will the legal process cost?

Tiano O’Dell will be happy to provide you with a free, no-obligation evaluation of your prospective personal injury claim.

We accept personal injury cases on a contingency-fee basis, which means that you pay no legal fees unless we recover money for you. We understand that families can be ruined, both physically and financially, when a loved one is seriously injured in an accident. Medical bills can mount quickly, and in many instances, the injured family member misses work because of the injuries, causing even greater financial hardship on the family. A contingency-fee arrangement allows you and your family to receive assistance at the time you need it most.

Nighttime burglaries plague North Stonington - WFSB 3 Connecticut

Nighttime burglaries plague North Stonington

Posted: Updated:

A rash of nighttime thefts have been plaguing one Connecticut shoreline town, and now police are warning residents to be more vigilant.

North Stonington's resident Connecticut state trooper has reported a rise in the burglaries over the past week. Police said someone is getting into unlocked homes and vehicles in town and stealing valuables.

Police said all of the burglaries have been occurring between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m.

No injuries have been reported in any of the burglaries, and police are warning residents to be on the lookout for suspicious activity.

"We're just talking amongst neighbors and keeping an eye out for each other," said Cynthia Lawton.

Lawton along with others are starting a block watch after the recent car break-ins.

Police are also warning residents to lock doors and windows inside your home and vehicle in an attempt to thwart anyone wishing to commit a crime.

"We'd like people to report things if something strange has happened in the neighborhood and if it is happening, a couple of dogs barking at one house or the next," said First Selectman Nick Mullane. "That means something's going on."

National K9 Veteran Day: Honoring Dogs of Military, Law Enforcement

K-9 Bloodhounds of the GPD

Every day is a national day of something and you could argue that everyday is someone's birthday too. There's truth in all that. Today, March 13 is National Nap Day- go figure it's the day after Daylight Saving time begins, it's also National Jewel Day, Earmuff Day, Good Samaritan Day and Open an Umbrella Day, according to National Days calendar.

All that said, it's also a day that is worth observing--National K9 Veteran Day.

WHY MARCH 13? National K9 Veterans Day is celebrated on March 13th on the official birthday of the US Army K9 Corps, which was formed in 1942.  Joseph White, a retired military working dog trainer, originated the idea for the day.

According to National Days, Dogs were called to duty during the first world war (WWI). The United States took notice of the European use of canines as sentries, message carriers and several other functions.

Dogs for Defense was a program initiated by a private citizen by the name of Mrs. Alene Erlanger. Along with the American Kennel Club and a handful of breeders, the group aimed to train the dogs for military use.

By November of 1942, the first Dogs for Defense were prepared for duty in North Africa. While at first they were gun shy, they proved to be well trained.

As the war progressed, Dogs for Defense was unable to keep up with the demand and the Remount Branch, Service Installations Divisions took over training of the dogs.

Over the years the military, police and rescue have developed a variety of training methods for K9 units. Their training is tailored to meet the demands of the job and each animal and handler carries out his or her duties to the fullest.

HOW TO OBSERVE: Use #NationalK9VeteransDay when you post or share on social media. Call your police or sheriff's department and see if you can give or donate something to help their K9 Unit.

Cops escort daughters of fallen officer to homecoming dance

(ABC News) -- Two Ohio police officers escorted the daughters of one of their fallen comrades to the girls' homecoming dance this weekend after their father was shot and killed in the line of duty earlier this year.
"It was just amazing, I can't even put it into words," Anna Montgomery, the mother of Courtney, Brooklyn and Alycia Cottrell, told ABC News today.
Courtney, Brooklyn and Alycia lost their father, Officer Thomas Cottrell of the Danville Police Department, in January of this year, Montgomery said.
Montgomery said that she had just asked one of the officers if he could take the girls to the dance, and "they just ran with it," using both an unmarked and marked patrol vehicle to escort the girls and their dates to their high school's homecoming dance.
"They drove them to dinner and the dance, and then drove them home," Montgomery said of the police officers.
"They kept just saying 'It's our honor, it's our honor,'" Montgomery added, "The brothers in blue definitely came through for the girls."
Montgomery said that the officers waited at the school during the entire dance and then brought the girls safely home when it finished.
"It made them feel a little more like Daddy was there," Montgomery said.
Montgomery said her girls, aged 14, 15, and 17 "had a blast," and even got a little "teary" a couple of times.
Officer Mark Perkins of the Danville Police Department, one of the officers who escorted the girls, told ABC News today that he used to work with the girls' father.
"I told them, and I told their mother, the pleasure was all ours, to be able to do that and to share that with all them was pretty special," Perkins said, "I’m a father of four, and so I know what I would’ve wanted the guys to do for me."
"We escorted them to dinner, and the dance, we agreed that we would take all three of them and their dates to do whatever they wanted to do," Perkins said.
Perkins said that they even pulled up a chair for their father at the table while they ate dinner, "so, in effect, he was there with us."
"We didn’t want everybody all upset, so it would take away from their moment," Perkins said, "but we also wanted them to know that we would never forget him."
Perkins said they brought a marked patrol car with their dad's patrol number, 373, displayed on the back.
All three girls were very appreciative, according to Perkins, "their smiles were ear-to-ear, it was just a wonderful opportunity."
"We make sure that we know that we are there for them, and we check on them," Perkins added.
"The important thing for everyone in that family, the girls' family, to remember, is that they’ll never be by themselves, we will always be with them," Perkins said, "We will never replace their dad, that’s for sure, but we will share in their moments with them."

tomtom one – What Is The Best Sat Nav To help you decide what is the best sat nav for YOU Sun, 16 Aug 2015 12:59:02 +0000 en-US hourly 1 TomTom One Sat Nav Review Tue, 14 Oct 2014 18:26:02 +0000 Read More →]]> the tomtom one sat nav

The tomtom one sat nav whilst now a little outdated still does the job

If you are looking for a basic, entry level sat nav that does a few things well without any need for extra features, the TomTom One sat nav is a great choice. The device has been on the market for a long time which means it offers a lower price tag than newer models, but being new does not always mean being better. Here is what you need to know about the device:

Design of the tomtom one

The overall build of the TomTom One is straightforward and simple. It features a 3.5 inch display which is small compared to many of the larger screens on newer devices available on the market today but despite the smaller screen and low resolution, the text is crisp and readable so there are no problems with the actual functionality.

The only problem with the design of the device is that accessing the preference menu and adjusting your settings for the first time is not as intuitive as it should be. Once you have your sat nav set up the way you want it, though, using the device on a daily basis is straightforward and simple.

Features of the tomtom one

There are not a lot of features on the TomTom One. This device was designed to help you get from your starting point to your arrival destination as efficiently as possible, but not much more than that. If you are looking for a simple navigation device, this is an affordable choice but if you need access to other features that are found on most new models, you will not find them on the TomTom one sat nav.

Route calculation is quick and the device really shines at what it was meant to do best: find the easiest route to determine where you are going. Even taking it straight out of the box, turning it on, and inputting a postcode will only taking a few minutes.

Battery Life

The battery life is the one real shortcoming of the TomTom One. Since the device was first introduced a few years ago, the battery life is not as good as what you expect from models on the market today. If you are going on long trips you will need to keep it connected to an adaptor all the time; if it is unplugged it will only last a few hours before it needs to be recharged again.

Maps And Expandability

The maps will definitely have to be upgraded as soon as you turn the device on for the first time. The updates will typically take less than an hour and only needs to be done once to download the latest UK and European maps. The device handles expansions (such as adding POIs, different maps, etc.) easily and the routing works very well on the device. It can take some time before the device locates satellites if it has been powered down for a long time, but that is to be expected from any sat nav.

If you are looking for an affordable sat nav and do not care about anything other than inputting an address or postcode and getting your routing directions, the TomTom One is a great choice. It was designed as a device focused on navigation without many extra features and it does that very well. The battery life can be a problem if you do not keep it plugged in to the adaptor but for the price point, it is hard to find another device that routes  as well and as quickly as the TomTom One.

Eat Healthy Anywhere

Even if you're the healthiest of eaters, a summer getaway can set off a dietary bender that leaves you feeling greasy, lethargic, and a few pounds heavier by vacation's end.

The reason? "Many of us eat by routine,and one of the biggest challenges of traveling is the change in that routine," notes Connie Diekman, R.D., director of university nutrition at Washington University in St. Louis.

Planning is the name of the game when you're trying to eat right on the road. To keep from gorging on fries or polishing off your stunningly large room-service order, Diekman suggests sticking with your regular eating schedule and seeking out small servings of healthy food as often as possible.

The idea isn't to shun every indulgence. But if you stay on track most of the time, the occasional drive-through meal or poolside margarita becomes a conscious treat, rather than standard vacation fare. Whether you're road-tripping, flying to a theme park, or heading off on a cruise, don't leave home without our expert advice for a healthy summer holiday.

Packing Light
If you're traveling by train or plane, take time to plan what you'll eat en route. To steer clear of fast-food temptations at the terminal, pack snacks that balance protein and carbs and offer a bit of healthy fat. "Carbohydrates give you energy that you can use quickly, while protein provides longer-lasting energy," says Diekman. "When you keep your body fueled with both types, it will be easier to make healthier food choices when you finally sit down to a meal later on."

Whole-foods-based energy bars, whole-grain crackers smothered with peanut butter, and do-it-yourself trail mix all make for healthy travel snacks. "Most commercial trail mixes are too high in sugar and calories," notes Nikki Goldbeck, coauthor of "Healthy Highways: The Traveler's Guide to Healthy Eating." So instead of grabbing a ready-made mix at the terminal, hit up your local natural-foods store's bulk bins before you go. Pick up some nuts, seeds, whole-grain cereal, and dried fruit to toss together.

If you want to make a meal of your travel menu, create a "flying picnic" with a homemade sandwich (such as peanut butter and banana), fruit, and yogurt (purchased at the airport terminal), suggests dietitian and "Diet Simple" author Katherine Tallmadge, R.D. When the drink cart comes around, skip the soda, alcohol, and sugary juices in favor of H2O.

Smart Choices
When you're road-tripping, bring along a cooler filled with healthy foods you can enjoy on the go. Start out with fresh fruit and chopped-up veggies, hummus, cottage cheese, and yogurt, and pack a separate bag with nonperishable eats such as nuts and seeds, whole-grain bread and crackers, fruit spread or jam, and peanut butter.

As you're traveling, stop in at grocery stores to restock the supply or grab a take-out meal from the salad bar. But when fast-food joints are the only options, you can still keep your diet on track, says Diekman. Stick with veggie burgers or grilled chicken sandwiches whenever possible, or order off the children's menu for smaller portions. Salads usually make a smart choice, Diekman adds, but watch out for high-fat dressings and an excess of add-ons such as cheese and bacon bits.

Ringing for room service may be one of your hotel stay's sweetest extravagances, but "it's very easy to overdo it," says Diekman. Since hotels often offer hefty portions, consider pairing soup or an appetizer with a salad for your meal. If you do go for an entree, ask about substituting veggies or brown rice for fries or other calorie-rich, nutrient-poor sides.

Stocking your room with healthy snacks can keep you from overindulging at mealtime, so Tallmadge recommends requesting a room that has a refrigerator in it. Before checking in, phone the hotel restaurant and ask to have a fruit or vegetable plate waiting for you when you arrive. And to keep from surrendering to a junk-food jones, make the minibar (with its selection of chips and cookies) completely off-limits. "There is nothing healthy in there," insists Tallmadge. "I cover the minibar up with a towel so I won't have to look at it all the time."

When your dining adventures take you beyond the hotel, be sure to stay mindful of portion sizes, suggests Goldbeck. "When you're eating out every day, there's a constant temptation because you want to try new things," she points out. Rather than repress your foodie urges, share dishes with your fellow travelers and bring leftovers back to the hotel to enjoy for lunch the next day.
Not sure which local restaurants to try? Ask the hotel staff to recommend nearby spots that specialize in ethnic cuisine. Because many cultures feature more vegetables in their dishes than you'd find in standard American fare, choosing Japanese, Indian, and Middle Eastern eateries can lead you to healthier options, says Goldbeck.

Stick to Your Schedule
If you're spending summer vacation at sea, it's especially essential to stick with your regular eating schedule instead of chowing down whenever your fellow cruisegoers head for the buffet. When it's time to eat, grab a salad plate, load two-thirds with fruits, veggies, and whole grains, and leave the remaining third for lean protein. "It's best to fill up on foods high in fiber and water so that you don't end up eating too many high-calorie items," explains Diekman. For an equally health-smart approach to tackling the buffet, fill your plate entirely with fruits and veggies at first, and save the more calorie-dense foods for your second trip. No matter what your strategy, take it slow. "The more time you can build into your eating, the less you're likely to eat," Diekman says.

Going easy on those fruity, frothy cocktails while onboard can also help slash your cruise calorie intake and stave off alcohol-spurred food cravings, explains Diekman. To stop from sipping too many strawberry daiquiris or pina coladas, choose nonalcoholic alternatives such as club soda or sparkling water with a splash of fruit juice as often as possible.

This unique implant system follows a bloodless protocol. A small pilot hole is made directly through the gums. That narrow entrance extends into the bone and provides both a starting point and a directional guidance. No bone drills are utilized! Whatâ€™s more, the miniature implant is merely inserted into the pilot hole and painlessly screwed into place. The seated implant is then in intimate contact with bone, and can thus be immediately loaded. With x-ray requirement.

Proper placement of composite should be left to expert amalgam removal dentists as the average well-meaning general dentist may not be aware of the newer placement techniques. With x-ray requirement.

Indicated for local deep fluoridation, hypersensitive necks of teeth, re-mineralization of enamel, and pediatric caries prophylaxis. Forms fluoride depots for intensive and long-term effect. Pleasant fruity flavor. Economical and simple, high yield, hygienic, quick.

Hypo-Allergenic Dentures

An innovation referred to as the â€œrubber dentures.â€ This unbreakable flexible acrylic has the right translucency that blends with the natural tone of your gums â€" nobody will know youâ€™re wearing dentures! Unsightly metal clasps are replaced with the same strong nylon-based thermoplastic resin materials. Various shades to match different gum colors.

Black Gums Management

Dark, pigmented gums are often caused by poor quality alloy. Lesser quality alloys often contain â€œun-refinedâ€ metallic elements which yield toxic and darkening substances during formulation. These â€œun-refinedâ€ metallic elements are lead, cadmium, iron, mercury and other undesirable elements. Our ceramic alloy is medically pure having the same qualifications as artificial heart valves, joint implants and bone splints! The exceptional physical properties and bio-compatibility of our advanced formula alloy is derived from the aero-space industry. DO NOT GAMBLE WITH FAKE SUBSTITUTES. With x-ray requirement.

Gum Veneers

An adjunct to black gum management, gum veneers are artificial gum faÃ§ade prescribed to patients with dark gums due to smoking or heredity. Or patients with â€œlong teeth.â€ Used to stimulate the appearance of pink, healthy gumlines.

Stainless Steel Pediatric Crowns

The sci-fi of a new generation of replacement crowns! These anime crowns will not split, stain, or crack. Each crown is pre-trimmed to ideal length and contour to save reduction of tooth structures.

Sports Mouth Guards

Every member in your family who is involved in any athletic activity where physical contact can be made or a fall can occur must be using an athletic mouth guard. A few examples are badminton, basketball, bowling, boxing, soccer, tennis, karate, judo and jogging. The mouth guards we supply are comfortable, do not impede breathing, allows for normal speech, and are custom-formed for the individual patient alone. The ready-made, ready-to-use, store bought protectors usually fall short in quality and is not recommended.

Temporo Mandibular Joint (TMJ)Splints

Splints come in a variety of designs. This office prides itself on producing the finest splint appliances possible:Â· Disengaging splints â€" induce relaxation of the masticatory muscles by reducing, modifying, or more widely distributing the afferent neural input from the occluding teeth (for sinusitis)Â· Occlusion correcting splints â€" temporarily eliminate chronic and acute malocclusion (for night grinding/bruxism)Â· Mandibular repositioning splints â€" used to prevent the disc-condyle complexes from returning to the fully occluded position or to set the condyles in a more favorable position.Â· Besides being used to treat TMJ clicking and popping, pain and dysfunction, there has been much interest, of late, in TMJ splints to release or enhance the strength in the athlete.

Oral Habits

Â· Thumb-sucking and finger habits â€" could cause an anterior open bite, facial movement of the upper incisors, lingual movement of the lower incisors, and constriction of the maxillary arch.Â· Lip biting and lip sucking â€" can procline the maxillary incisors, retrocline the mandibular incisors and increase the amount of overjet.Â· Tongue thrusting and mouth breathing â€" could create and anterior open bite.Â· A lateral tongue thrust or cheek biting habit

Space Maintainers

The early loss of primary teeth often results in a reduction of arch length. This change can directly affect the normal eruption of the adult teeth. If the permanent teeth are not going to erupt within SIX months of the loss, a primary tooth appliance therapy is indicated.

Single tooth anterior or posterior crossbite corrections are rather simple procedures that can be accomplished with either fixed or removable appliances. A fixed procedure is typically used when the correction requires bodily movement. A removable approach can be successfully employed if the tooth is crossbite needs to be tipped or uprighted to its correct position.

As with any other surgical procedures comprehensive physical examinations, laboratory results , surgical and medical histories, allergies, pre-medications and taking dental x-rays are extremely vital.

Cleft Palate Repair and Prosthetics

Palate function is essential for normal speech and swallowing. Cleft palate repair and surgery is always elective and the patient must be free from infection and in optimal physical condition prior to surgery.

Allografts and Alloplasts (Bone Grafts)

Our bone grafting particulate offers a completely new approach to guided bone regeneration. It actually becomes part of the patients own tissue. It generates predictable infection free bone and offers no risk of transgenic disease or tissue rejection. The graft material could withstand mechanical forces and is completely resorbed and replaced by host bone. Indicated for:

  • Extraction site/socket grafting
  • Inadequate ridge augmentation
  • Increasing vestibule depth
  • Soft tissue augmentation around dental implants
  • Stabilize loose teeth

Root Canal Therapy

Beneficial to a tooth damaged, inflamed or infected root structures. This treatment involved delicate removal of unhealthy pulp, then gently sterilizing, smoothening and shaping the root canals. The cardinal rule in restoring root canal treated is adequate support with (1)post (metal or fiber cemented in the root canal, (2)filling used to build up core support on the crown portion and jacket crown. Usually gold or porcelain.

Odontectomy (Wisdom Tooth Treatment Options)

A sound philosophy to adopt whena wisdom tooth does not or cannot erupt into proper position is it has no benefits to offer and instead will be a potential source of head and neck medical problems. Cramped for space, impacted wisdom teeth grow in many directions:

  • At an angle toward your other teeth
  • At an angle away from your other teeth
  • Horizontal position
  • Submerged vertical position

Whether you have obvious or silent symptoms of sudden and severe pain, the advantage of early removal is priceless.

Apicoectomy (Periapical cysts, Tumors, Lesions)

A dental cysts is a liquid containing semisolid inflammatory exudates and necrotic products. It is always considered to be infected and the increase pressure from food chewing caused the bone to further resorb and the cyst to enlarge. In the upper jaw, cysts proximity to the large alveolar nerve can cause permanent numbness and damage.

Periodontal Planing and Surgery

In the past it was common to ignorantly extract teeth in chronic periapical infections. But in modern medicine, treatment of the disease is directed toward salvaging all teeth and even treat multiple sites in a single flap surgery. The root planing procedure allows cell migration, repopulation and gum re-attachment.

The most unpopular and the least performed dental surgery. Tooth extractions offers no dental nor medical benefit but as last resort treatment option.

Ethan, Where is your evidence for your claim? In what sense does belief in non-physical agents harm people? And please don't point to Dena Schlosser.

By that reasoning we'd have to concede that a good stout is harmful simpliciter because some people don't know when to stop.

The two goals for Democrats is to make sure that House Republicans fail and are observed by the voters to be dismal failures and to deny Mitch McConnell another term leading up to the 2012 elections.

Two can play at that game.And CarolinaUNC, you are wasting your tuition at the University of North Carolina if you are as small minded and reactionary as your comments imply..

IBM Lotus Domino and the SSL/TLS known vulnerability

Based on this article, I started thinking about how the fallout from the SSL/TLS vulnerability may affect me.

I wasn't ready for what I found.

As it turns out, as detailed in this IBM tech note, there is no support for TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 or TLS 1.2 for Domino's http server.   There is only support for SMTP (through STARTTLS) and SIP (for Sametime) within Domino.   All other Lotus Domino Internet based protocols (HTTP, LDAP, POP3, IMAP) support SSL up to 3.0.

So...    As for a plan, it looks like you can probably put your Domino servers behind a Websphere Edge Server doing reverse proxy.   Much like you would have to do if you were looking to make Domino FIPS 140-2 compliant.

FDA Proposes Rule Regarding Medical Device Reclassification: New Regulatory Definitions for Class III Devices May Prove to Be More Burdensome

Bloomberg BNA's Medical Devices Law & Industry Report
April 30, 2014

On March 25, 2014, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued proposed regulations to implement the medical device classification and reclassification provisions of the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) enacted in July 2012.  FDA’s proposed rule outlines several changes though two changes appear to be truly notable regarding the current device reclassification process.  First, Section 608 of FDASIA changed the reclassification process from notice-and-comment rulemaking to proposed administrative order.  Additionally, and of concern for many manufacturers, the proposed rule also provides new regulatory definitions for Class I and Class II devices as well as substantially modifies the definition of Class III devices.  Click here to read the full article.
