NEW LOOK (Same Rantings)

Happy New Year!

For those of you who have been following my blog for a will notice a new look to "don sees the world." For those of you who are new to my blog, welcome! You join me as I am introducing a new look.

I hope you will continue to read and contribute to my blog. I see it as a dialogue more than as a monologue. So as always, I thank you for reading and commenting on my blog.

Wherever you are today, I hope that your year is starting off well!

Don Bergquist - January 03, 2011 - Lakewood, Colorado, USA

I think that the new look on your website fits you. You seem to be a bit on the artistic side and the new look is a bit more artistic. Keep up the great rants.

Dear Anonymous Reader,

Thank you for reading and commenting on my blog!

I have received a couple email responses to my blog yesterday and the response was split. One reader liked it, one reader didn't.

"Artistic?" That is not an adjective that usually gets applied to me. I can, I think, compose a pretty good photo; and I can put together a collage that I like. If other people like my photos as well, that's cool.

I am humbled that people seem to like my photography and my stories. And even more-so when a reader chooses to send a comment so I thank you for taking the time to send your feedback.

I like the new look, sorta, but what made you change the picture at the top? I thought that was a trademark or something.

Don Bergquist said...

Dear Anonymous Reader,

Thank you for your comments! I am glad you like the new look.

Actually, this is the fourth photo that has graced the banner of my blog in the six years I've been blogging. (That is unless you count the generic ones that came with the default layout that I used to originally create it!)

Nope. It was not a trademark or anything... I just like giving the blog a new look occasionally and this is what struck my fancy this month when I started looking at changing things up a bit.

I hope you will continue to read (and enjoy) my blog, stories, and photos. Please feel free to Follow Me either online or via email by using one of the links to the right.

And again, thank you for reading and commenting on my blog.

Hi - I'm the first Anonymous Reader, the one who commented about you being artistic, not the one who commented about the photo at the top of the page. I guess I tend to think of people who are interested in photograhy as being artistic. Maybe that is because some photographers doctor up their work in photoshop.

You take some interesting pictures. I liked your pictures of England and South Africa. If you aren't able to make it to Australia with your job, maybe you could go down there for a short vacation. I'm sure you would take some interesting pictures of Australia that your readers would enjoy. I was curious about something. Which country do you think is most conservative, South Africa, England, or Australia?

Dear Anonymous Reader,

(Or shall I say "Dear 'Original' Anonymous Reader,?")

Thank you for reading and commenting on my blog! I have been told by my friends for year that I am artistic (some people who don't even know about my photography call me artistic for my cooking, but that is another story…). Some of these friends are people I consider to actually be artists! (To be fair, a couple of them had to tell me they were artists, but then, that too is another story!)

Thank you for the kind assessment of my photographic prowess. I think I take a few good pictures myself. I have an old friend who is a professional photographer. Once I was bemoaning the fact that so few of my pictures were what I would consider "good." I will never forget his response.

He explained that the reason he went through so much film was that he expected that he would get one usable picture on every roll he shoots and perhaps one of then of those would be what he considered to be good! Putting aside the high standards that apply to photographers who do it for a living, if that is the ratio of film used to good pictures that a pro accepts, who am I to expect more?

I do expect that I will make it to Australia eventually. If not on business, I can buy my own ticket! Based on what I have seen of it in films and photos, I would think I could shoot a few good shots.

Interesting question… I cannot speak to the political winds in Australia. Of the two remaining countries, I would have to say that South Africa is far more conservative than England. The UK , for being a nanny state in so many things, seems (to me at least) to have a much more laissez-faire attitude toward things. South Africa is much more obviously stratified in its social structure and the expectation (as far as I could tell) of who you are and what you can do is derived from what strata of society you are in.

Perhaps this is just my limited experience, but that is how I saw thing.

Again, thanks for reading and commenting, Original Anonymous Reader!

Letter to Jelly

Dear Jelly,

I'm watching Nick Jr. And right now it's muted. I'm watching The Wiggles. Clay says they make him giggle. Sometimes they make me giggle, too. I haven't watched The Wiggles in a long, long time. Daddy just turned on The Wiggles. [Ed. - You can read that any way you like. I prefer to think of "turned on" in the "got 'em in my crosshairs" sense.] Wiggles are funny.

Right now I'm watching about the aquarium. In The Wiggles. The Wiggles is long.

||From Dust (2011)||

[PC Game – Mediafire]

Cover Of Pc Game From Dust (2011) Free Download At Downloadingzoo.Com

Size: 1.5 GB
Platform: PC
Genre: Strategy
Publisher: Ubisoft
Release Date: 19-08-2011
Developer: Ubisoft Montpellie

From Dust is a video game, designed by Eric Chahi and developed by Ubisoft Montpellier. Ubisoft described it as a ‘spiritual heir’ to Populous, a British game developed by Peter Molyneux and Bullfrog in 1989. Announced on 14 June 2010 at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Ubisoft published the game on Xbox 360, 27 July 2011 as a part of XBLA Summer of Arcade event. The PC version was originally scheduled to be released at the same time but was delayed to August 17 due to undisclosed reasons. The PlayStation 3 version will be released at a later date in 2011. From Dust will be distributed online via Steam, OnLive, GamersGate, and XBLA . In From Dust, players assume a god-like first-person perspective from which they manipulate an archipelago environment in an effort to save, and enlighten, a nomadic tribe. With a spherical cursor, the user controls certain types of matter – namely soil, lava and water – in real time. Lava cools to form solid rock, vegetation propagates in soil and spreads naturally once a village is built, and moving water quickly erodes terrain. Physical changes to the world occur extremely rapidly, allowing players to restructure islands within minutes.

On 14 June 2010, Ubisoft announced the development of From Dust at E3, and the appointment of Eric Chahi as the Creative Designer. Following the announcement, the company released cinematic, in-game footage featuring a variety of characters, terrains, and user interactions, with a vocal narration of some of the story. On 16 August 2010, during Gamescom and the European Game Developers Conference in Cologne, Ubisoft unveiled technical footage, showing the game’s physics engine in detail. In the technical sequence, a narrator explains the user’s interactions with the environment, and the effects of each physical element upon the other. During the conference, Chahi presented a lecture, entitled ‘Creating a High-Performance Simulation: A Dynamic Natural World to Play With’, demonstrating the world editor that underlies the environment simulation. On 6 May 2011, Ubisoft released footage detailing the various influences on, and artistic direction of, From Dust.

SST: This Mortal Coil Playlist!

This Mortal Coil.jpg

Hi guys! Today I have a playlist for you, based on the novel This Mortal Coil by Emily Suvada. If you have the chance, I definitely suggest giving this book a read. Maybe this playlist will convince you! If you click on the song title, it will bring you to the YouTube link where you can listen to the song!

Radioactive by Imagine Dragons
I had to include this one because it's literally about a post-apocalyptic world. 'Nuff said.

Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger
This one also kind of reminds me of sci-fi feels. Just like the genre and the world the book is set in!

Bad at Love by Halsey
There was a love triangle, so I thought it was funny to include this one.

Into the Black by Chromatics
Every playlist needs a slower song, and I think this one is perfect.

I Think I Like You by sirenXX
Had to include this one for the love triangle too!

All We Ever Knew by The Head and the Heart

I hope you liked the playlist! Don't forget to check out all the links to hear the songs!

Synopsis (GR):

Catarina Agatta is a hacker. She can cripple mainframes and crash through firewalls, but that’s not what makes her special. In Cat’s world, people are implanted with technology to recode their DNA, allowing them to change their bodies in any way they want. And Cat happens to be a gene-hacking genius.

That’s no surprise, since Cat’s father is Dr. Lachlan Agatta, a legendary geneticist who may be the last hope for defeating a plague that has brought humanity to the brink of extinction. But during the outbreak, Lachlan was kidnapped by a shadowy organization called Cartaxus, leaving Cat to survive the last two years on her own.

When a Cartaxus soldier, Cole, arrives with news that her father has been killed, Cat’s instincts tell her it’s just another Cartaxus lie. But Cole also brings a message: before Lachlan died, he managed to create a vaccine, and Cole needs Cat’s help to release it and save the human race.

Now Cat must decide who she can trust: The soldier with secrets of his own? The father who made her promise to hide from Cartaxus at all costs? In a world where nature itself can be rewritten, how much can she even trust herself?

Teachers Notebook shop now open!

OK, so I'm following the trend and have started a Teachers Notebook shop! It does seem REALLY good for sellers since once you add up your TpT monthly fee (annual charge divided by 12) PLUS their commission, it ends up costing more than the Teachers Notebook monthly fee. So if you sell, you should sign up - there is a link to the side of my blog.

If you buy, than it doesn't matter where you buy from because the products cost the same! So really, it's a win-win and you are helping your favourite sellers! You can visit my Teachers Notebook shop by clicking the button here or in my sidebar. I've only got a few items listed at the moment, but more will  be added soon.

  1. Please help me. I am wanting to put a cool poster I designed into my blog so that other teachers can download if they want. How do I do that? I have microsoft office but I can create in google docs if need be. I want to use my cool fonts though. Thanks in advance.

In all this talk of excellence, many Christians fail to realize the chasm between the world’s definition of excellence and God’s definition of excellence. The two are not synonymous. In fact, worship leaders in particular often succumb to a worldly definition of excellence. In doing this, we actually misunderstand godly excellence....Read More

Sunday Music Muse Day - Ken Burns Jazz, and Rhapsodies in Black - Music and Words from the Harlem Renaissance

This Sunday Music Muse Day picks are to celebrate the opening the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.

What better way than with CD sets that showcase the musical heritage of African Americans that have enriched the full American experience.  First is the well known, Ken Burns Jazz - The Story of America's Music. This five CD set. and 44 page booklet, is the sound track companion piece to the well known film documentary.  I admit there are dis-tractors and critics of Burn's take on Jazz history, but never the less there is much to like in the collection. (which I pick up at the public library book store for $7.  So, support you local library when ever you can)

The second is the Rhino Records, Rhapsodies in Black - Music and Words from the Harlem Renaissance.  the Harlem Renaissance is defined as a period in the 1920s when African-American achievements in art and music and literature flourished.  The four CD set contains music, poetry, and a 96 page booklet with essays of, and about, the times.  (I saved this collection from the dumpster at my college library job, as they were weeding the collection.  It's really too good to toss)

The African American Museum and the music, and art of these CD set are not a separate history of this country, but a integral part of the fabric and essence of the American culture.  These are treasures to been celebrate and embraced by all, with honor and respect.  Enjoy.

Dime-a-Dozen Project - Preview

I posted this for Throwback Thursday, on Facebook, this video is a pre-preview of my Dime-a-Dozen Project on this blog, where I'll be taking my old drawings, characters and concepts and use them to, hopefully, get the creative juices flowing again. Galaxic Tallgunner is based on a storyboard of a short film idea I started in 1978. You get the idea, a dime-a-dozen idea.

Here's are this original thumbnail storyboard sheets.

I have ton's of unfinished projects in the form of character sketches, incomplete written outlines, half drawn comic pages, and full illustrations.  I feeling the need to catalog for my own sanity and for simple record to leave my kids, and as I say above, along the way rekindle my creative juice and start drawing again.  Stand tuned.

Sunday Music Muse Day - Michael (Mike) Melito Quintet, Buddy Rich, Steve Greene Trio, and Vieux Farka Toure

Welcome to another Sunday Music Muse Day.  This week's selections starts off with the beats of two swinging drummers. Counting off the downbeat first is Mike Melito (when he had a longer name, and longer hair), as the Michael Melito Quintet - My Conception, actually is Mike's recording debut as a leader.   Mike sure hit the ground running, and continues producing the swinging "hard bop" he set out to play.  I already have Mike's latest "New York Connections", and look forward to the CD release gig he has planned in October.  Mike is a big fan of my father, Sam Woodyard (drummer for Duke Ellington), and counts Sam as a major influence.  The more I hear Mike play, the more I hear bits of Sam in his playing, and feel Mike is keeping that swinging tradition alive, and progressing.

Next up is special find, legendary drummer Buddy Rich, The Roar of '74.  Billed as "the world's greatest drummer" during his career, with the impressive roster of big bands and artist he played with, and leading his own big band, it would hard to argue with that title. An added treat for me is that my father, Sam Woodyard is featured on percussion (bongos, hand drum, etc).  This a hot rocking set of tunes and great fun to listen to.

The next selection is another local Rochester musician, guitarist, Steve Greene Trio.  I heard Steve play a live set on our local jazz radio station, Jazz90.1, in the past. This is nice mellow jazz guitars and bass set.  I hope to catch Steve performing live sometime.

My last selection, actually was picked by my wife, Lisa, who saw this artist perform while she was visiting a friend in Hudson, NY, this weekend.  Vieux Farka Toure - Mon Pays is a CD by the Malian (Mali, in West Africa) singer and guitarist and son of the late Grammy Award winning Malian musician Ali Farka Toure, who many know from his CD with Ry Cooder, Talking Timbuktu.  Lisa really liked the live concert, and the infectious Afro-beats on this CD makes me jealous I didn't see him, too.

All in all, a nice collection of tunes to head into autumn with.  Enjoy.

Autumn, time for a Change

Since September is my birth month, I tend to think of it as a time for a fresh start as we head into autumn, a time for change. So, my aim is to spend more time in this studio chair, actually doing creative stuff. To support the desire, I'm resigned from my part-time job at the Brighton Memorial Library, which is a bitter-sweet decision, since I made a lot of good friends there, and will miss our daily interactions. But, with Lisa's cancer battle, the boys going off to college, me reaching my full social security age, and the grind working two jobs, I felt it was time for pull back a bit. In truth, the tipping point was at a family meal in August before the boys left, and Lisa mentioned she would have to get used to eating dinner alone as an empty-nester, with me working evenings. That thought pained me. Some things are worth more than money. So, hopefully I will use the free time productively and hit all those projects I put on the back-burner while I worked 50 hours a week. (I'll be keeping my full-time job, but getting off at 4pm will seem like a half day) If nothing else I'll be able to help with dinner and enjoy the company of my lovely wife at the dinner table. Wish me luck.

Star Trek 50th Anniversary

Here's my tribute to the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek, with random items off my book shelf, a 10th anniversary window sticker, the 25th Anniversary computer game, Star Trek pop-up book, a 1973 Star Trek Convention program, a Deep Space Nine mini-comic, and a Captain Jean-Luc Picard action figure.
 I don't think I ever got to saw an original Star Trek broadcast, as my sisters overruled my choice of TV viewing in our one TV household. I caught up on Star Trek in syndication after I moved to NYC in my last year at SVA. In many ways I prefer the Star Trek universe over Star Wars as Star Trek was about exploration and discovery and how we handle the moral, social , and political aspects of those new encounters. The show offered a vision of hope for a better tomorrow. That alone made me a fan. Live long and proper.

Sunday Music Muse Today (Labor day Edition) Manuel Barrueco, Margaret Explosion

Welcome to my Sunday Music Muse Day, delayed a day for Labor Day holiday.  The first pick is another one motivated by the names of the other musicians rather than the leader. Manuel Barrueco Nylon and Steel is a CD of duets which finds Barrueco, who according to All that Jazz, " a globally acclaimed classical guitarist who specializes in Spanish musics but has also explored Bach, Toru Takemitsu and Arvo Pärt over the past 25 years", playing with Al Di Meola, Steve Morse, and Andy Summers.  Each of these guitarist are known for playing with successful groups, Return to Forever, Dixie Dregs, and the Police, respectively, and solo careers. Although I wasn't familiar with Barrueco, I like this CD  and will look for more of his CDs.

My next selection is local Rochester group I still haven't had a chance to see live.  Margaret Explosion Skyhigh is another spacey jam affair. Their music has been described as "...slow-motion psychedelia that conjures images and colors" (by Frank De Blase City Newspaper - Nov. 29, 2006)  That pretty much covers it. In their own words, '"We call what we do simultaneous, spontaneous composition rather than jamming,"  That's means, unless you have their CD you will never here the same tune again. An interesting concept for a band.

That's it for this week.  I'm going to get out and enjoy the day.  You should do the same.  There always good music when you return.

HAED Update

This is my update on my HAED called Pirate Dragon. I have 5,120 stitches in which just means 42,795 left to do. Hey at least the number goes down haha. The red made me about jump up and down. I'm finally to a part of the dragon. It's the head piece he's wearing. Fred just rolled his eyes at me. I said Look it's about time I get a pretty color. Then he understood. LOL.

Today I'm going to pick up the model again. I'm making real good progress on it. It's a fun piece to work on. The end is near so I get excited to work on it.

Today Jeremiah did GREAT at school. Somedays he gives me attitude but today he did amazing. I was so proud of him. So I told him I would brag to everyone. (Trying to get the point across that he makes so many people proud when he does good.) We started dividing in math. I was worried about the concept but he caught right on like it was old news. So I'm a proud teacher today. I printed out some activities for the rest of week dealing with Groundhog Day. Gotta work that important holiday in somehow haha.

NaBloPoMo Day 29

I worked hard today to get my living room back to normal. Plus Fred put together one of my Christmas presents. This cool cabinet with the fabric drawers. When we got it all setup I realized my step mom's runner she embroidered would fit perfect. Also the drawer set on top we got in South Carolina at a very neat antique/art store. I already have some things stored away. I really want/need to get more organized and this type of stuff really really helps.

What are you looking forward to in the new year?

Everything. I always try to be a positive person. Let's face it the world sucks and I have to do everything I can to look at it positive or I might as well just give up right? Anyway I look forward to everything. I know I will do the best I can everyday to make the best of the life I have been given. I look forward to camping! I look forward to making closer friendships with the close friends I've made this past year. I look forward to what I might cross stitch and where I might go in my life. I can't wait! Life is what we make of it and darn nit I'm making my 2012 a good year if I can do anything about it!

I joined the NaBloPoMo for January. I LOVE that this has helped me have a reason to blog every day. I decided though I'm going to just go with the flow and do it when I can. I'm not going to feel guilty if I miss a day. I also cut back on my facebook gaming. I swear I spent WAY too much time on those games. I have a lot better stuff to be doing than putting time and money into a GAME. I told Fred I feel so free now that I finally hide those feeds. Plus it's amazing I can see my friends statuses and stuff again without all the clutter. LOL Tomorrow I need to work on my WIPocalypse list.

Just found out Vickie is having a wonderful giveaway on her blog. Here is the link if you are interested.

The Cat's Out of the Bag

Yes, it's true. DreamHaven is closing as a physical bookstore. At the end of January, 2012 I'll no longer have regular hours and will concentrate on the mail order business and conventions. I'm not planning to move so it's conceivable that I'll open the doors once in a while and have a sale or even host some sort of event. But I won't maintain any regular hours.

Things were going quite well until the end of 2010. From January 2011 to mid April, nearly 50% of the walk-in business just disappeared. While business has picked up slightly since then, it's still way off. I blame A) The Economy B) Changing Dynamics of Retail (online shopping) C) E-Books. Each one of these could make quite a difference on their own but all together they spell disaster for many retailers. I've been hedging my bets for some time and I've been buying good used and rare books and collectibles and I'm doing well with them. Ironically, the store is better stocked than ever and I'm more pleased with the overall store "experience" than I've ever been. I will boast of one of the greatest selections of used and rare SF/Fantasy/Horror anywhere, also possibly the largest selection of rare and unusual SF and Horror Film books in existence. While my collectible comics selection is weak (but after this past week it's very much stronger) I have more comics-related material (fanzines, graphic novels, art books, posters, prints, etc) than anyone in this area. So, all-in-all, the store looks great. Too bad so few people come in to enjoy it.

Sadly, some of those who do come in to enjoy it, abuse it terribly. Theft is up so far it's almost off the charts. Again, I blame the economy for the rise, but it doesn't really explain the fact that people seem to not care who gets hurt as long as they get the things they want. I lose in the neighborhood of 5 - 20 THOUSAND dollars a year to theft and have for the last three decades.

I'm very excited about this next phase in my bookselling career. I started selling books 40 years ago and opened my store 35 years ago. I'm too young to retire; even if I had the means to do so, I don't think I could. But I can slow down and maybe take more time to enjoy myself. And that's what I plan to do.

Thanks everybody. I hope everyone can stop in between now and the end of january 2012, if for no other reason that to help me clear out some of the amazing (amounts of junk) stuff I have to offer.

From January 2011 to mid April we at my public library noticed a rise in inquiries about ebooks over this same period.
Oct. 18th, 2011 12:49 am (UTC)
It will be disappointing to lose the chance to browse at the store, but I think that your peace of mind is worth something too, so I understand. I will look forward to seeing you at the conventions.
Oct. 18th, 2011 12:58 am (UTC)
Oh, sad! I'm glad you're not getting out of the book business entirely, but it's always sad to see a brick-and-mortar store close. I have fond memories of Dreamhaven, but not the time or money that I used to.
Oct. 18th, 2011 12:58 am (UTC)
I was very proud to have been part of DreamHaven for a good long time. It was neat to see the store evolve over the years.
Oct. 18th, 2011 01:39 am (UTC)
I am sorry to see the physical store close.
Oct. 18th, 2011 02:02 am (UTC)
I hope the change works well for you. Unfortunately, like other commenters, cash is short and I'm a bit far away to just drop by. :(
Oct. 18th, 2011 05:20 am (UTC)
It's a shame that you are closing but when I first saw the news my first thought indeed twas that this would indeed solve your problem with theft. You will not be entirely gone, so that's good.

I hope to be able to come by week after next when I come and visit my friend Lorraine. We'll see how her schedule goes.
Oct. 18th, 2011 11:27 am (UTC)
I'm sad to see the store close Greg. I Wish I made it to the new location more often. I have not been a regular since the move.
Oct. 18th, 2011 12:36 pm (UTC)
Sad news. Sic transit gloria mundi...

May the next phase of your journey be a rewarding one!
Oct. 18th, 2011 03:30 pm (UTC)
Greg, it's sad to see the closure of the physical store. Will we still see you in convention dealer rooms?

Hopefully you will have a special opening during Gaylaxicon next October. Several of our out-of-town attendees still rave about how much they loved your store when they were here in 2009.
Oct. 18th, 2011 05:44 pm (UTC)
That's the beauty of of cunning plan - I'll still be able to do conventions and I should also have some special events or sales at the store. I'm not moving any stock out of the building and I'll leave it set up pretty much as it's always been (a little more warehousy I suppose) so I could conceivably open during Gaylaxicon.

Oct. 19th, 2011 04:35 am (UTC)
That's terrible, but I can't fault your reasons. I spent a lot of time in 6 of your locations and have a bunch of great memories. Definitely have to stop in before you close your doors.

And much luck with the next phase of Dreamhaven books!

I f I knew this day will be my last, I will love my wife with all my love and help her in any way I can. Since she always says I too into pc and forget about her, I will drop everything in what I’m doing and help her immediately. I feel this will put her mind at ease and know that I do love her and put her in number one place. She does complain all the time that I never listen to her and interrupt her all the time. I will listen to her without commenting and all the attention that she is and will be the most important thing in my world. My sister also is

I do have to be grateful that I have my health and mind to enjoy all this and our country is at peace generally for me to be able to do all this and use my pc. So many people look at the negative side and forget to see the beauty of the morning it brings. The sunshine is so beautiful and air so fresh to breath, yes I am so alive that I can breath this fresh air. Thanks to my mom and dad so that I can live in peace and willing to share this burden when I need it most. I’m very thankful that my siblings is very cool and supportive with this brother of theirs which is not responsible at all. I’m glad I have them and will help them in any way that I can.

One thing that I can do to make today extraordinary is be more patient with everything that will happen since I know I do get irritated easily when things does not go my way and go in a tantrum or angry. The worst thing is the person that I love most and nearest to me will get hurt the most. I will let it go and think positive so that today will be a great day.

To make today incredibly fun, I will smile to all people and make them laugh. I’m sure something will come up so that I can do that. To see the little things that make our world so much fun and of course to contribute this fun myself to the world. There is so much fun around that I am only blind to it.

I can help someone by letting them go first in line. Drive slowly and donate food if a beggar comes by.

How to Accumulate Wealth?

Taken from :

1. Material Wealth and Progress

Four qualities that create material wealth and progress

Persistent effort

By whatever means one engages in to earn a living, he or she should be hardworking and not lazy. He or she should understand what needs to be done, learn how to do it properly, do it well, and also delegate work to others where appropriate.

Proper vigilance

Any wealth that has been legally and rightfully accumulated should be looked after properly. Assets should be protected from fraud or misappropriation and be well managed to avoid unnecessary taxation or improper confiscation by the state. Possessions should be well protected from being stolen or destroyed. Property should not be allowed to be squandered away by irresponsible family members.

Good company

One should associate with the right kind of friends. It does not matter whether they are young or old as long as they are virtuous, charitable and have wisdom and spirituality. In this way, he or she will be positively influenced and thus live in the right way.

Balanced livelihood

One should be aware of one’s income and expenses and live within one’s means. One should be neither extravagant nor miserly, and ensure that one’s income will be more than one’s expenses and not the other way round. Anyone who lives beyond their means will have many problems and soon go to ruin. At the other extreme, a miser who hoards his or her wealth will live an unhappy life and come to a wretched end.

Four factors leading to the loss of material wealth and progress

Debauchery and promiscuity

Frequent drinking and intoxication

Addiction to gambling

Associating with bad company

Four factors leading to the gain of material wealth and progress

Abstinence from debauchery and promiscuity

Abstinence from drinking and intoxication

Abstinence from gambling

Associating with good company

Imagine a great water tank with four inlets and four outlets. The four inlets are the four factors leading to gain, and the four outlets are the four factors leading to loss.

If the inlets are kept open and the outlets kept closed, the water supply will not decrease, even if there is no rain.

For the same great water tank, if the inlets are kept open and the outlets kept closed, if there is rain the water supply will surely increase.

Therefore, always avoid the four factors of loss, and always abide by the four factors of gain.

Anyone can go to Heaven. Just be Good

Learn of this book where its very small and thin which explain things in a easy manner. Just the kind of book that I like since thick books make feel sleepy. Read it at library at Hai Tao's place at Wisma Rampai. Anyone interested to find out more can check it out here since the content is the same. Thank you to the creator of the website since I didn't manage to finish it there.

It is about teaching of Buddhism that guide us how to act and think so that we can all go someplace good. I'm sure all of us basicly good inside, just hiding there if we aren't doing it already. Well happy practising good deeds and thoughts so that our world will be a better place and find ourselves heaven on earth.

Lets share this poem that I find so cool and good by our dear Abraham Lincoln :

"When I do good, I feel good.

When I do bad, I feel bad.

That's my religion."

In Growing Toenails

Introduction to In Growing Toenails

In growing toenail is one of the most common foot complaints treated by a chiropodist. This condition can be very painful and patients may often be very reluctant to have the condition treated. However, we can assure you that this condition will not resolve itself and requires specialist care. An in growing toenail is caused by a splinter of nail or the whole nail causing pressure into the skin. Some in growing toenails are acute which means that they have occurred due to a injury to the toe. Others are chronic, which means the patient has had the problem for a long period of time. The large toe is usually affected however it can also affect the lesser toes.

Symptoms of In Growing Toenails

  • The condition may be aggravated by wearing tight shoes or shoes with an inadequate depth.
  • In acute conditions the toe will be very painful to touch and there may be presence of an infection.
  • In a chronic condition the toe will only be painful when the patient is walking with shoes on.

In Growing Toenails

Causes of In Growing Toe nails

  • Trauma to the nail
  • Improper cutting of toenails
  • Tight shoes or hosiery
  • Abnormal shape of nail plate
  • Abnormal thickness of nail

Treatment for In Growing Nails

  • If the condition is chronic then the chiropodist will trim a small section of the nail to relieve the pressure from the in growing toenail. He/she may also use dressings, pads, nail braces and silicone devices in order to prevent the condition occurring again.
  • If the condition is at an acute stage (red, swollen and possibly infected), then surgical removal of a section of the nail plate or the entire nail plate may be necessary. This is called a partial nail avulsion (PNA). A PNA involves injecting the toe with a local anesthetic followed by removal of the affected section of nail (refer to diagram below). The nail bed will then be treated with a chemical in order to prevent the section of nail which was removed from growing back. This procedure is very common and is not painful. The site usually heals within 4-6 weeks following the surgery.

  • The chiropodist may recommend the use of an antibiotic to combat an infected in growing toenail.
  • Cut toenails straight across and leave them slightly longer to prevent an in growing toenail
  • Avoid tight shoes

Nowhere is a Place. Visiting Patgonia, 5) Viedma Glacier, Argentina

Viedma Glacier, El Chaltan 066

Situated close to the small Argentinean town of El Chalten is Lake Viedma, a large glacial lake.  You can take a boat tour to visit the largest glacier in the Southern Patagonia Ice Field, the Viedma Glacier, from a dock on the northwestern shore of the lake, near El Chalten (which you can reach by bus from town).

The following overview photo, courtesy of NASA, will help orient you a little better.  Viedma Lake is obvious, as is the Patagonian Icefield.  The Viedma Glacier is at 12 o’clock in this photo (actually direction is west).  The boat launch is in the little thumb at the top right of the lake at about one o’clock.  El Chalten is in a non-snow …

How the NHS was lost

Here is a recent editorial by Jacky Davis for the NHS Consultants' Association newsletter:

We really ought to have a black border around the latest edition of the Newsletter, to mark the death of the UK National Health Service. After a 2 year fight, the infamous Health and Social Care Bill finally became law earlier this year. The legislation was bulldozed through parliament with the assistance of the Liberal Democrats, a scandalous betrayal which will not be forgotten or forgiven. In its final stages it was encumbered with over a thousand amendments and is now even more Byzantine and dangerous than when it first saw the light of day. It was opposed by every major organization representing health care workers and degenerated from a bill sold as empowering doctors and patients to one battling the vested interests of the professionals. Its passage was a low point for democracy in this country. It became a matter of political pride and personal prestige, an arm wrestling match in which the coalition leadership had invested too much to back down.

It’s worth recalling why it matters so much. This legislation is a bottle of snake oil, it doesn’t do anything it promises on the label. Cuts costs? No, costs will rise, with the ever increasing financial burden of marketised care not to mention £3 billion+ for the ‘reforms’ themselves. Cuts bureaucracy? No, it replaces 3 layers with 7 and the CEO of the NHS Confederation has recently warned of a ‘tsunami of bureaucracy’. Gives power to patients? No, patients will have less choice than ever thanks to management referral centres, reduced treatments, and the limited choice already present in some parts of the country where the private sector has taken over.

It certainly doesn’t give power to doctors and front line staff. GPs will be answering to CSUs run by private companies and in London GPs have already been forced to pay for commissioning ‘support’ from the private sector. Management consultants like McKinsey have made millions so far and are anticipating many more millions to come. At the same time GPs are taking the blame for massive cuts in budget and we are already seeing headlines blaming doctors for service cuts and for denying care to patients.

Finally it cannot fail to adversely affect teaching and training, core functions of the NHS. No wonder the government defied the law and refused to release the risk register.

So the H&SC Act represents a massive redisorganisation of the service, so huge that according to the Big Beast himself, Sir David Nicholson (CEO of the NHS) it could be seen from outer space. How was it possible that such unwanted, undemocratic and destructive legislation could get through against the opposition of the profession? Part of the answer must be that there was a dreadful failure of medical leadership and much of the blame lies at the door of our representative bodies.

Many GPs were unfortunately but understandably attracted by the idea of commissioning while failing to notice that it came accompanied by less attractive elements including the drive to outsource any and all NHS services to the private sector. The BMA, with GPs in the driving seat, pronounce the bill to be a ‘curate’s egg’, good in parts and announced that they would have the tasty bits and manage the rest, thus fatally missing the point of the tale of the curate’s egg. Once part of the egg is rotten the whole thing is inedible and this is as true for the HSCB. It is woven of whole cloth, without the possibility of taking up the attractive parts (if indeed there ever were any) while rejecting the rest.
The BMA failed to consult its members over the HSCB, relied too heavily on political lobbying for ‘significant amendments’ which never materialised and resisted coming out in opposition to the bill until forced to by repeated emergency motions at Council. By then it was too late, and on the day the bill became law Andrew Lansley was still claiming that he had the support of the profession.

The Royal Colleges, with a couple of honourable exceptions, were the dog that didn’t bark in the night. Not a sound was heard from most of them on a matter which would massively affect their members. They kept their heads down, discussing instead (in the case of my own college) important matters such as the move to a new building rather than legislation which would affect every aspect of their remit i.e. teaching, training and standards.

Finally in desperation at their silence several campaigners, led by David Wrigley, a GP from Cumbria, set up a website to encourage college members to formally request emergency meetings of their college so that they could call for opposition. The resistance of college officials to this move was a sight to behold, and many interesting conversations took place with people to whom it had clearly never occurred that the members might notice what was going on (or not going on ) at college HQ, and what’s more might have the temerity to question it. I’ll forever treasure the memory of a phone call to someone at the RCS to say that we had enough members signed up to call for an emergency meeting. ‘But I’ve never heard of you’ was the bad tempered response. Well you have now and what’s more we have the requisite number of names to request a meeting. The great and the good who represent us did not appreciate being called to account.

Once called to account almost all the colleges found themselves faced with overwhelming demands for opposition to the bill from their members. Even then there were delaying tactics but the message had gone out to the media that doctors were united in their opposition to the legislation. Unfortunately by then it was too late to stop the bill.
A shining exception to this behaviour was the RCGP, which regularly consulted its members and whose president, Clare Gerada spoke repeatedly about her concerns. Given the supine position of the rest this was a heroic thing to do, and attracted a lot of press coverage. Many firmly believe that if the whole medical establishment had had the courage to work together and speak out against the bill it could never have survived the joint onslaught of the profession. As it was the complicit enablers, through silence or, even worse, co-operation, betrayed the NHS, the profession and our patients. Shame on them, history will not remember them kindly.

So are the prophets of doom right, and is the NHS in England facing extinction? Well, the news coming in is not good and already we are seeing the vultures circling the NHS. Significant contracts have already gone to transnational corporations like Virgin and Serco, the biggest company you have never heard of. Virgin picked up community services in Surrey, where presumably patient choice now consists of Virgin or Virgin, and also ‘integrated children’s services’ in Devon. As far as I know they have no experience of providing the latter but that doesn’t seem to matter in the brave new world of outsourcing public services. The core business of these transnational companies is in winning government contracts regardless of what they are for. They have the experience, the legal expertise, and the deep pockets to allow loss leaders if necessary and it is simply unrealistic to think that small charities and social enterprises can take on these huge companies and win.

Once they have the contract they then put together the package, and the word is out that community paediatricians are being urgently sought, presumably to fulfil Virgin’s new contract in Devon. It has been said that G4S, awarded the security contract for the Olympics, expected to take on operatives and deploy them 3 days later. This is no way to run any public service let alone the NHS and the G4S Olympic fiasco certainly seems to have alerted at least some in government to the dangers of outsourcing public services. Vital public services like the NHS can’t just simply be allowed to disappear, and if private providers fail or walk away when profits don’t materialise then the government has to step in. The result is that profits are privatised while risk is socialised, a convenient scenario for the private sector but a recipe for disaster for the tax payer, the NHS and those who rely on it.

Elsewhere GPs are waking up to the real world of loss of autonomy to the Commissioning Board and to commissioning support services, which are likely to end up in the hands of – you’ve guessed – the private sector. At what stage will GPs decide that they can no longer ride the tiger of the HSC Act and that it would be better to show their disapproval with events by walking away from commissioning? There are still those who argue that they must remain involved otherwise ‘others will do it’ but that is the primrose path to hell. We underestimate our strength as a profession, but strength requires acting in unison which requires strong leadership. We are still waiting for it.

Meanwhile the ‘Nicholson challenge’ of ‘saving’ £20 billion makes a nonsense of promises that there would be no cuts to NHS services, and thousands of front line jobs have been lost already. And as longer and longer lists of treatments are excluded from the NHS menu as part of these McKinsey-driven “efficiency savings” fewer people will be offered an acceptable choice; instead many will have to choose between pain and discomfort or paying privately. Personal health budgets (PHBs) are another ideological move, designed to facilitate the path to top ups and co-payments while allowing top slicing by 20% to cope with the financial constraints. Martin McKee’s article in the BMJ described how the Dutch are moving away from PHBs while we are rushing to embrace them – yet another example of policy based evidence making?

There are too many other depressing stories related to the cuts and the ‘reforms’ to describe them all but you might like to consider that criminals can now run the NHS that NHS patients will be able to ‘self fund’, the role of the media during the listening pause, predictions about the privatisation of hospitals, how patients lost their sight at a private centre, and the scandal of over treatment in the USA to chose but a few. And if you want more where those came from please follow Clive (@clivepeedell), myself (@DrJackyDavis) and KONP (@keepnhspublic) on Twitter. People who don’t tweet often think that it is just about what Wayne Rooney did last night but if you ignore the celebrity trivia it is a wonderful campaigning tool. Depending on who you follow you can get all the news, articles and low down on health and medical politics and never need know what Madonna had for breakfast. Try it, you’ll be pleasantly surprised, but - health warning – it is dangerously addictive.

On an up note the Olympics provided some great bread and circuses entertainment and Danny Boyle became an instant NHS hero when he featured the NHS during the opening ceremony. Needless to say Tory MPs immediately saw a conspiracy, but most recognised a genuine wish to celebrate one of this country’s greatest institutions, even while we are in danger of losing it.

Talking about great institutions and sporting achievements, the award of Hero of the Year goes to my Co Chair Clive who distinguished himself by running from Nye Bevan’s statue in Cardiff to the DoH in London, an unbelievable feat which required 6 marathons in 6 days. We salute him and his running partner Dr David Wilson both of whom spent a great deal of time in ice baths, although with or without added gin and tonic is not reported. They were helped along the way by the indefatigable Chris Burns Cox who provided transport, logistical support (and possibly the gin). Read about it here. Hypocrite of the Year award was a difficult decision as ever but probably goes to the Coalition government for rubbishing the NHS at home while selling its brand abroad. But there were plenty of other contenders for the title.

The year has been a busy one for your officers, with many public talks, articles, letters in the paper and arm wrestling with more conservative institutions. Thanks go as ever to our equally indefatigable president Peter Fisher, without whom the organisation would not survive let alone prosper, and to you, our members, whose subs allow us to help our sister organisations KONP and the NHS Support Federation in their important campaigning work. More members mean more money and perhaps if you do one thing to help the NHSCA in the next year it should be recruiting at least 2 new members. And meanwhile be thankful you’re not running 6 marathons...

Thank you all. No pressure then‽

Well I really have to wonder exactly how much opposition GPs have to the changes; apparently many of them have vested interests in private health care providers, so there is a quite obvious interest for GPs to refer patients to institutions in which the same GPs have some kind of interest, which may well be financial. Not many will be able permananently to resist that kind of temptation.

BrewDog challenges Donald Trump with Mexico-friendly bar

03 August, 2017

Scottish brewer BrewDog has announced plans to open a craft beer bar on the border between the US and Mexico.

BrewDog will name it ‘The Bar on the Edge' and the company says it backs its intention to expand across the US and maintain its controversial status.

James Watt, co-founder at BrewDog said: “’The Bar on the Edge’ will be set up in the furthest outskirts of the US, reflecting our ambition to reach every corner of the country as we begin to brew our beers on US soil.”

US president Donald Trump famously claimed he wanted to build a wall between the US and Mexico along the border during his controversial campaign for presidency.

BrewDog has only revealed that half of the bar will be in Texas and the other half in Chihuahua, Mexico, with certain parts of the bar still deamed ‘top secret’.

Watt added: “We will request official permission from the local authorities to put it there and adhere to any red tape stuff, but I guess it would make it more difficult to build a wall if there’s a BrewDog bar in the way. We’re planning on putting the bar there anyway until someone tells us to move it.”

The geographical border will be represented by a dotted line across the center of the bar and along the venue’s outdoor seating area.

The bar will be officially defined as a temporary mobile building and will serve Mexico beers on the US side, and US beers on the Mexico side, as well as BrewDog’s range of craft beers, brewed in Columbus Ohio.

Watt added: “It was JFK that said, ‘conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth’. We love the US, and we already have an amazing army of fans over here, but we do not intend to bring BrewDog ‘lite’ to the US. The ‘Bar on the Edge’ is our line in the sand, quite literally.”

Kaitlyn Stewart wins World Class 2017

25 August, 2017

Kaitlyn Stewart of Canada has been crowned World Class Bartender of the Year 2017 after winning the final in Mexico City.

Stewart’s Diced Pineapples, Spilt Milk, Boy named Sue and Detox and Tonic cocktails did enough to impress the judges and she will now travel the world as a Diageo Reserve brand ambassador for the next year.

“I’m so incredibly amazed and shocked to have been named the world’s best bartender,” said Stewart.

“It’s been a grueling week, taking on the toughest challenges against some of most skilled bartenders I’ve ever met. Participating in the Finals was amazing enough but to finish the week as winner… I’m so delighted.”

The World Class Bartender of the Year competition is one of the biggest in the world with more than 10,000 bartenders from 57 countries taking part. After winning their regional competitions, 55 gathered in Mexico City for the final stages.

On Wednesday 23 August, after going to head-to-head with their competitors in the Lucha Libre ring, the top four bartenders made it through to the final round, designed to test them on their knowledge, creativity and mastery of the classics and signature serves.

Diageo Reserve’s global cocktalian and World Class judge, Lauren Mote, said: “What an incredible week. As judges we’ve seen everything, from six foot high flames to ingredients brought together in ways I’ve never seen before.”

“Every finalist was incredible but for me Kaitlyn really stood out. Her Lucha Libre performance was exceptional, the way she handled the Heat of the Moment round blew me away.

“And by the time it came to the final challenge, we wanted to find someone bursting with skill, knowledge and charisma, with unbelievable creativity and an incredible mastery of the classic and signature serves. Kaitlyn well and truly delivered. It was a phenomenal thing to witness and be a part of.”

Diageo’s Reserve division was created in 2004 and focuses on the global luxury opportunity and consists of Johnnie Walker Blue Label, Ciroc, Don Julio, Tanqueray No. TEN, Ketel One vodka, Zacapa, Bulleit and a collection of Single Malts. The Reserve portfolio accounts for 16% of Diageo’s total sales and has grown by 7% this financial year.

Mote added: “The aim of World Class is not just to find the best bartenders in the world. We also want to inspire cocktail fans around the world to drink better – we want more ‘armchair mixologists’ to have the courage to explore what’s possible and create their own signature serves in the kitchen.

“Next year we expect just that – people experimenting with cocktails at home. We also expect sustainability to become a driving force behind cocktail creation, be that in the ingredients used or the methods applied.”

World Class will celebrate its 10th anniversary in Berlin next year.

Mex Eco Cocktail Name: Diced Pineapples

1.5oz Tanqueray No. Ten

A pinch of sea salt flakes

0.75oz of Lime Husk

0.5oz Pineapple Gomme

1oz Pineapple Kasu

0.5oz Junmai Nama Nigori Sake

1 dash of Bittered Sling Lem-Merrikhsh bitters

Pesticides and Parkinson's: UCLA researchers uncover further proof of a link

Study suggests potential new target in fight against debilitating disease

For several years, neurologists at UCLA have been building a case that a link exists between pesticides and Parkinson's disease. To date, paraquat, maneb and ziram — common chemicals sprayed in California's Central Valley and elsewhere — have been tied to increases in the disease, not only among farmworkers but in individuals who simply lived or worked near fields and likely inhaled drifting particles.

Now, UCLA researchers have discovered a link between Parkinson's and another pesticide, benomyl, whose toxicological effects still linger some 10 years after the chemical was banned by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Even more significantly, the research suggests that the damaging series of events set in motion by benomyl may also occur in people with Parkinson's disease who were never exposed to the pesticide, according to Jeff Bronstein, senior author of the study and a professor of neurology at UCLA, and his colleagues.

Benomyl exposure, they say, starts a cascade of cellular events that may lead to Parkinson's. The pesticide prevents an enzyme called ALDH (aldehyde dehydrogenase) from keeping a lid on DOPAL, a toxin that naturally occurs in the brain. When left unchecked by ALDH, DOPAL accumulates, damages neurons and increases an individual's risk of developing Parkinson's.

The investigators believe their findings concerning benomyl may be generalized to all Parkinson's patients. Developing new drugs to protect ALDH activity, they say, may eventually help slow the progression of the disease, whether or not an individual has been exposed to pesticides.

The research is published in the current online edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Parkinson's disease is a debilitating neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions worldwide. Its symptoms — including tremor, rigidity, and slowed movements and speech — increase with the progressive degeneration of neurons, primarily in a part of the mid-brain called the substantia nigra. This area normally produces dopamine, a neurotransmitter that allows cells to communicate, and damage to the mid-brain has been linked to the disease. Usually, by the time Parkinson's symptoms manifest themselves, more than half of these neurons, known as dopaminergic neurons, have already been lost.

While researchers have identified certain genetic variations that cause an inherited form of Parkinson's, only a small fraction of the disease can be blamed on genes, said the study's first author, Arthur G. Fitzmaurice, a postdoctoral scholar in Bronstein's laboratory.

"As a result, environmental factors almost certainly play an important role in this disorder," Fitzmaurice said. "Understanding the relevant mechanisms — particularly what causes the selective loss of dopaminergic neurons — may provide important clues to explain how the disease develops."

Benomyl was widely used in the U.S. for three decades until toxicological evidence revealed it could potentially lead to liver tumors, brain malformations, reproductive effects and carcinogenesis. It was banned in 2001.

The researchers wanted to explore whether there was a relationship between benomyl and Parkinson's, which would demonstrate the possibility of long-lasting toxicological effects from pesticide use, even a decade after chronic exposure. But because a direct causal relationship between the pesticide and Parkinson's can't be established by testing humans, the investigators sought to determine if exposure in experimental models could duplicate some of the pathologic features of the disease.

They first tested the effects of benomyl in cell cultures and confirmed that the pesticide damaged or destroyed dopaminergic neurons.

Next, they tested the pesticide in a zebrafish model of the disease. This freshwater fish is commonly used in research because it is easy to manipulate genetically, it develops rapidly and it is transparent, making the observation and measurement of biological processes much easier. By using a fluorescent dye and counting the neurons, the researchers discovered there was significant neuron loss in the fish — but only to the dopaminergic neurons. The other neurons were left unaffected.

Until now, evidence had pointed to one particular culprit — a protein called α-synuclein — in the development of Parkinson's. This protein, common to all Parkinson's patients, is thought to create a pathway to the disease when it binds together in "clumps" and becomes toxic, killing the brain's neurons. (See UCLA research using "molecular tweezers" to break up these toxic aggregations.)

The identification of ALDH activity now gives researchers another target to focus on in trying to stop this disease.

"We've known that in animal models and cell cultures, agricultural pesticides trigger a neurodegenerative process that leads to Parkinson's," said Bronstein, who directs the UCLA Movement Disorders Program. "And epidemiologic studies have consistently shown the disease occurs at high rates among farmers and in rural populations. Our work reinforces the hypothesis that pesticides may be partially responsible, and the discovery of this new pathway may be a new avenue for developing therapeutic drugs."

Other authors of the study included Lisa Barnhill, Hoa A. Lam, Aaron Lulla, Nigel T. Maidment, Niall P. Murphy, Kelley C. O'Donnell, Shannon L. Rhodes, Beate Ritz, Alvaro Sagastig and Mark C. Stahl, all of UCLA; John E. Casida of UC Berkeley; and Myles Cockburn of the University of Southern California. The authors declare no conflict of interest.

This work was funded in part by National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences grants P01ES016732, R01ES010544, 5R21ES16446-2 and U54ES012078; National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke grant NS038367; the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System (Southwest Parkinson's Disease Research, Education, and Clinical Center); the Michael J. Fox Foundation; the Levine Foundation; and the Parkinson Alliance.

The UCLA Department of Neurology, with over 100 faculty members, encompasses more than 20 disease-related research programs, along with large clinical and teaching programs. These programs cover brain mapping and neuroimaging, movement disorders, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, neurogenetics, nerve and muscle disorders, epilepsy, neuro-oncology, neurotology, neuropsychology, headaches and migraines, neurorehabilitation, and neurovascular disorders. The department ranks in the top two among its peers nationwide in National Institutes of Health funding.

How Nitrous Oxide Can Alleviate Your Fear of Any Dental Procedure

You may consider yourself to be a positive, spirited and outgoing person who fears little in life and is willing to take on any challenge. Yet, when somebody mentions the dentist, everything changes. This type of trepidation may be linked to a challenging experience in childhood, but nevertheless it may be holding you back when it comes to all-important dental care. However, a specific technique may help you cross that bridge and make it easier for you to visit the surgery. What should you consider?

Many patients in your situation choose to receive some inhalation sedation just prior to any procedure. This type of process involves the supply of nitrous oxide gas in carefully controlled doses to make you feel more relaxed and even somewhat euphoric. The dental assistant will administer the procedure, which is perfectly safe, doesn't smell of anything in particular and will not irritate you.

The amount of gas that you will receive is regulated by the machine itself as well as the dentist and involves a safe mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen. Patients report that it gives them a warm or tingling feeling.

How Does It Work?

In order to administer the gas, a nasal hood is placed over the mouth and nose and is attached via a tube to the machine. You will simply breathe normally. The hood has a way to deliver the mixture and to exhaust the gases that you breathe. Typically, this mask has a specific scent of strawberry or mint, so that you cannot detect any smell of plastic or rubber.

The Control Factor

When this is being administered, the dentist will always ask how you feel. You are in control and able to tell if you need more sedation or less. This makes this type of procedure very different to an intravenous injection, as this process can be regulated either way. When you feel fully comfortable, the dentist can proceed with any work that is needed, and you won't feel anxious about what is going on at all.

All Cleared Up

As soon as the gas mask is removed and the procedure is over, the effects start to disappear, and you will be left with no "hangover" feeling at all. In fact, it will be perfectly okay for you to drive home from the dentist's office.

It's Your Turn Next

If you know that you need to get work done but have been putting it off as long as possible, see if your dentist can help you by administering inhalation sedation first.

About Me

How to Improve Your Dental Health Today

My name is Tod and I love teeth. I am not a dentist but ever since I was a boy, I have been fascinated by what is in my mouth. I remember when I was little, I would spend hours looking into the mirror, trying to see what my teeth looked like. When I was 7-years old, I went to a dental summer camp and learnt even more about how bacteria and acids can cause teeth to decay. In my teens, I was fitted with braces and I learnt lots of cool stuff about brace care. Now, I am grown up, but I still have my childhood passion for dentistry and I look forward to every checkup.

Take a Leap of Faith—Seriously?

It’s easy to want to give up when the going gets tough. If you believe that you have something important to share or say or do, and the world around you seems to be messing up your plans, maybe you need to stop. Not stop your plans; just stop what you’re doing. Take a break. Reassess.

Earlier today, I was feeling this: “Lorie, who do you think you are, going out there and sharing CalmUp® with the world?” I called my friend, Ula, for reassurance. She reminded me of the story of Job and encouraged me to take a leap of faith. I pulled out a sheet of paper and started a CalmUp® Journey.

How can I ascend the pain, the chaos, and the insanity of my experience?

No sooner had I accepted my pain than my telephone rang. My publisher discovered their mistake and resubmitted the correct material to the printer.

“Yes,” I told myself, “I’m capable of putting myself and my work out there.”

More Tips—Really

More Tips

Three important tips when using the Back Page of the CalmUp® Journey include:

  • Practice using a conversational style. For example, explore an issue using a question/answer format by writing a question on the left column and answering it in the right column. You can also complain or vent in the left column and respond thoughtfully and compassionately in the right column.
  • Consider using the left column to list all of your fear-based thoughts while using the right column to list your loving feedback.
  • Use the left column to become aware of your stress/worries/concerns about your day. Turn to the right column and start creating your ideal day.

  1. Even without an actual CalmUp® Journey in hand, you can begin to improve the quality of your day today with a piece of paper separated into two columns. What have you been silently (or loudly) griping about and how would you thoughtfully respond?
  2. What are your top 3 fear-based thoughts and what loving feedback could you provide?
  3. List all of your stressors, worries, and concerns about the day ahead. How would you start to create your ideal day?
