116. Cruelty.â€”One thing I have frequently observed in children, that when they have got possession of any poor creature, they are apt to use it ill; they often torment and treat very roughly young birds, butterflies, and such other poor animals which fall into their hands, and that with a seeming kind of pleasure. This, I think, should be watched in them; and if they incline to any such cruelty, they should be taught the contrary usage; for the custom of tormenting and killing of beasts will, by degrees, harden their minds even towards men; and they who delight in the suffering and destruction of inferior creatures, will not be apt to be very compassionate or benign to those of their own kind. Our practice takes notice of this, in the exclusion of butchers from juries of life and death. Children should from the beginning be bred up in an abhorrence of killing or tormenting any living creature, and be taught not to spoil or destroy anything, unless it be for the preservation or advantage of some other that is nobler. And truly, if the preservation of all mankind, as much as in him lies, were every one’s persuasion, as indeed it is every one’s duty, and the true principle to regulate our religion, politics, and morality by, the world would be much quieter and better natured than it is. But to return to our present business; I cannot but commend both the kindness and prudence of a mother I knew, who was want always to indulge her daughters, when any of them desired dogs, squirrels, birds, or any such things, as young girls use[i.e., are accustomed] to be delighted with: but then, when they had them, they must be sure to keep them well, and look diligently after them, that they wanted nothing, or were not ill used; for, if they were negligent in their care of them, it was counted a great fault, which often forfeited their possession; or at least they failed not to be rebuked for it, whereby they were early taught diligence and good-nature. And, indeed, I think people should be accustomed from their cradles to be tender to all sensible creatures, and to spoil or waste nothing at all. This delight they take in doing of mischief, whereby I mean spoiling of anything to no urpose, but more especially the pleasure they take to put any thing in pain that is capable of it, I cannot persuade myself to be any other than a foreign and introduced disposition, a habit borrowed from custom and conversation. People teach children to strike, and laugh when they hurt, or see harm come to others; and they have the examples of most about them to confirm them in it. All the entertainments of talk and history is of nothing almost but fighting and killing; and the honour and renown that is bestowed on conquerors (who for the most part are but the great butchers of mankind), farther mislead growing youths, who by this means come to think slaughter the laudable business of mankind, and the most heroic of virtues. This custom plants unnatural appetites and reconciles us to that which it has laid in the way to honour. Thus, by fashion and opinion, that comes to be a pleasure, which in itself neither is, nor can be any. This ought carefully to be watched, and early remedied, so as to settle and cherish the contrary and more natural temper of benignity and compassion in the room of it; but still by the same gentle methods, which are to be applied to the other two faults before mentioned. But pray remember that the mischiefs or harms that come by play, inadvertency, or ignorance, and were not known to be harms, or designed for mischief’s sake, though they may perhaps be sometimes of considerable damage, yet are not at all, or but very gently, to be taken notice of. For this, I think, I cannot too often inculcate, that whatever miscarriage a child is guilty of, and whatever be the consequence of it, the thing to be regarded in taking notice of it, is only what root it springs from, and what habit it is like to establish; and to that the correction ought to be directed, and the child not to suffer any punishment for any harm which may have come by his play or inadvertency. The faults to be amended lie in the mind; and if they are such as either age will cure, or no ill habits will follow from, the present action, whatever displeasing circumstances it may have, is to be passed by without any animadversion.
1. Not to check or discountenance any inquiries he shall make, nor suffer them to be laughed at; but to answer all his questions, and explain the matters he desires to know, so as to make them as much intelligible to him as suits the capacity of his age and knowledge. But confound not his understanding with explications or notions that are above it, or with the variety or number of things that are not to his present purpose. Mark what ’tis his mind aims at in the question, and not what words he expresses it in: and, when you have informed and satisfied him in that, you shall see how his thoughts will proceed on to other things, and how by fit answers to his inquiries he may be led on farther than perhaps you could imagine. For knowledge to the understanding is acceptable as light to the eyes: [â€œFor knowledge is grateful to the understanding as light to the eyes “â€”in later editions.] and children are pleased and delighted with it exceedingly, especially if they see that their inquiries are regarded, and that their desire of knowing is encouraged and commended. And I doubt not, but one great reason why many children abandon themselves wholly to silly sports, and trifle away all their time in trifling, is, because they have found their curiosity balked, and their inquiries neglected. But had they been treated with more kindness and respect, and their questions answered, as they should, to their satisfaction, I doubt not but they would have taken more pleasure in learning, and improving their knowledge, wherein there would be still newness and variety, which is what they are delighted with, than in returning over and over to the same play and playthings.
119. 2. To this serious answering their questions, and informing their understandings in what they desire, as if it were a matter that needed it, should be added some peculiar ways of commendation. Let others, whom they esteem, be told before their faces of the knowledge they have in such and such things; and since we are all, even from our cradles, vain and proud creatures, let their vanity be flattered with things that will do them good,1 and let their pride set them on work on something which may turn to their advantage. Upon this ground you shall find, that there cannot be a greater spur to the attaining what you would have the eldest learn and know himself, than to set him upon teaching it his younger brothers and sisters.
120. 3. As children’s inquiries are not to be slighted, so also great care is to be taken that they never receive deceitful and eluding answers. They easily perceive when they are slighted or deceived, and quickly learn the trick of neglect, dissimulation and falsehood, which they observe others to make use of. We are not to entrench upon truth in any conversation, but least of all with children; since, if we play false with them, we not only deceive their expectation, and hinder their knowledge, but corrupt their innocence, and teach them the worst of vices. They are travellers newly arrived in a strange country, of which they know nothing: we should therefore make conscience not to mislead them. And though their questions seem sometimes not very material, yet they should be seriously answered: for however they may appear to us (to whom they are long since known) inquiries not worth the making, they are of moment to those who are wholly ignorant. Children are strangers to all we are acquainted with; and all the things they meet with, are at first unknown to them, as they once were to us: and happy are they who meet with civil people, that will comply with their ignorance, and help them to get out of it. If you or I now should be set down in Japan, with all our prudence and knowledge about us, a conceit whereof makes us perhaps so apt to slight the thoughts and inquiries of children; should we, I say, be set down in Japan, we should, no doubt (if we would inform ourselves of what is there to be known), ask a thousand questions, which, to a supercilious or inconsiderate Japaner[Japanese], would seem very idle and impertinent; and yet to us would be natural; and we should be glad to find a man so kind and humane as to answer them and instruct our ignorance. When any new thing comes in their way, children usually ask the common question of a stranger, What is it? whereby they ordinarily mean nothing but the name; and therefore to tell them how it is called, is usually the proper answer to that demand. The next question usually is, What is it for? And to this it should be answered truly and directly: the use of the thing should be told, and the way explained, how it serves to such a purpose, as far as their capacities can comprehend it; and so of any other circumstances they shall ask about it; not turning them going till you have given them all the satisfaction they are capable of, and so leading them by your answers into farther questions. And perhaps, to a grown man, such conversation will not be altogether so idle and insignificant as we are apt to imagine. The native and untaught suggestions of inquisitive children do often offer things that may set a considering man’s thoughts on work. And I think there is frequently more to be learned from the unexpected questions of a child, than the discourses of men, who talk in a road. Usually asked at a later stage in the child’s development, according to the notions they have borrowed, and the prejudices of their education.

Should the parent be with the child in the dental operatory?
It has long been a topic for discussion if the parent should be present in the operatory when providing dental treatment to a child.
Most Pediatric dental offices require parental separation, feeling that a parent’s presence will hinder the formation of a relationship between the dental professional and the child.
At Hunterdon Pediatric Dental Associates, we have adopted Our Unique Team Approach in which parent, child and dental professional are all present and working together to educate the child about dental procedures and treatment. Thus, we encourage parental presence and parental participation during your child’s treatment. We feel this method will not only make your child feel more comfortable but also provides us the opportunity to educate the parents about their child’s oral health and their responsibilities to continue to reinforce this care at home.
In order to achieve these goals, it is important that the parent assume a supportive role and act as a silent observer while the child is cared for. We encourage parents to ask questions and to follow the instructions of the dental care provider as they lead and educate your child.
According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, a child’s first dental visit should occur at the time that their first tooth erupts but no later than one year old. Although this makes perfect sense, it is Dr. Tafaro’s belief that the first dental visit for routine and preventative care should occur around age three. This is advised because most three year olds will be behaviorally adjusted to be educated about how dental care is provided, tolerate an examination and cleaning and leave with having a positive experience.
This by no means suggests that children under three should not be seen. Dr. Tafaro recommends children under three years old be seen if any of the following circumstances are present- child being breast or bottle fed past age of one year old, difficulty brushing child’s teeth, use of sippy cup or bottle during the day or at bedtime, presence of white spots, pitting or any discoloration of the child’s teeth. In these instances, the child’s visit will be limited to a complete examination and consultation of the findings with the parents.
Should my child be on a Fluoride supplement?
Fluoride is the best substance we have to fight the formation of cavities. When ingested as a liquid or a chewable tablet, fluoride becomes incorporated into the developing enamel of permanent teeth. This makes the enamel harder and more resistant to the harmful effects of bacterial acids.
Some communities make it easy for children to obtain Fluoride by placing it in their water supply. Unfortunately, the rural population of Hunterdon County makes this very costly. In this case, a Fluoride supplement should be prescribed.
* – until eruption of second permanent molars or longer if patient is cavity prone.
Is Fluoride hazardous to ones health?
Fluoride is one of the most extensively studied drugs. Many reports suggest that Fluoride is a carcinogen and can cause harm to ones bones and muscles. These studies are mostly anecdotal and they exaggerate their findings.
The true fact is that Fluoride is a drug and like any drug, too much is not good. The problems that arise from excessive fluoride ingestion are discoloration and pitting of permanent teeth. This will arise during the toddler years as the permanent teeth are developing.
To prevent excessive fluoride ingestion, parents need to monitor the ingestion of Fluoride from secondary sources. These include fluoridated water ingestion when the child is in daycare, a relative’s or other family member home where fluoride is in the water. Toothpaste contains lots of fluoride and only a small, flat row along three bristle rows of the toothbrush is recommended. Avoid using fluoride rinses in children under six years of age. If you have a concern with your child’s Fluoride intake, then our office can do a Fluoride history review with you.
Why are X Rays needed and is the radiation my child receives harmful?
Dental radiographs are a very necessary part of the examination process. Because baby teeth are developed very quickly, there tooth structure is not as well formed. Thus, they are more prone to developing decay. A small cavity that starts in between the teeth can become very large in a short period of time. This could cause the tooth to require more costly and extensive restorations or loss of a tooth from infection. Radiographs are also needed to monitor the development and eruption of teeth for orthodontic purposes.
Improvements in technology has led to the development of X Ray machines and fast films that deliver very little radiation to a very specified area. When comparing digital radiographic systems to traditional film systems, there is very little difference in the amount of radiation the patient receives.
Although there is no way to determine exactly how much radiation is too much for any given person, we do know that children are more susceptible to the effects of radiation and all efforts to limit radiation should be done.
In following this recommendation, our office’s standard radiation policy is to take two radiograph per year beginning at the age of 4 ½ years. A Panoramic radiograph (Equivalent to three regular radiographs) is taken at the age when the first permanent teeth erupt, about six years old. If determined it is necessary, it is repeated at the age of 10 – 11 years old. Once the patient has all permanent teeth present, Radiographs are taken every 18 – 24 months.
It is important to note that factors such as decay rate, ectopic positions of teeth and the frequency your child visits the dentist may alter the need for radiographs.
What are sealants and how do they work? How long do Sealants last?
Sealants are special restorations placed on the biting surfaces of teeth with the specific goal of preventing tooth decay.
During development, many teeth will develop defects in the form of pits and grooves. These imperfections are areas for impaction of food and bacteria. Because there are no effective methods to thoroughly cleanse them (toothbrush bristles are even too large to get into them), tooth decay can easily develop.
Sealants prevent decay by acting as a protective barrier so food and bacteria can not penetrate these imperfections. Thus, brushing becomes an effective method to clean these surfaces.
For sealants to be effective, they must be properly placed on the tooth. Any debris or salivary contamination will destroy the bonding of the sealant to the tooth. This will allow bacteria to penetrate between the tooth and sealant, causing a failure that could lead to tooth decay.
To prevent this, our office uses only the most effective methods and materials to insure the strongest bond of the sealant to the tooth. First, a rubber dam is used to isolate the tooth to prevent salivary contamination. Prior to its placement, a small amount of novacaine is usually given to numb the gum tissues around the tooth. This will insure the comfort of the patient. Bacteria and debris in the pits and grooves are cleaned out using a high speed drill. The enamel surface is recontoured, allowing us to detect any decayed areas and producing a superior bonding surface.
After conditioning the enamel, a special adhesive is applied to seal the enamel and aloe for good adaptation of the sealant to the tooth. A tooth colored filling material is then spread over the tooth and light cured. This material is much stronger than traditional sealant material and more resistant to wear. After polishing, a surface sealer is used to seal the margins where the tooth and sealant meet.
Although there is no specific time period a sealant will last, our office guarantees all sealants for three years. At this time, I am finding most sealants lasting over ten years without having any problems.
How is Restorative Dental Care Provided to Children?
Dental decay is a progressive disease that can cause extensive damage to primary and permanent teeth. The sooner a cavity is diagnosed, the less treatment will be required to restore the tooth.
Cavities that are confined to the biting surfaces of teeth are treated with a tooth colored filling. In this procedure, only the decayed areas are removed. These areas receive the filling while the rest of the tooth is sealed with the same filling material. This method of restoration is known as a preventive resin restoration.
Deeper cavities and those cavities that form in between the teeth require the removal of more healthy tooth structure. Here a definitive preparation is made in the tooth and a tooth colored composite resin material is used to restore the form and function of the tooth. Sometimes the placement of a protective base is required to insure the nerve of the tooth will not become irritated and cause sensitivity after treatment.
When decay progressive to the point where most of the crown of the tooth is affected, a stainless steel crown is required. Here, the entire crown of the tooth is prepared so the crown will fit over the tooth. Once properly fitted, the crown is cemented on.
When decay gets into the nerve of the tooth, the nerve must be treated to insure its health and prevent the tooth from abscessing. In this procedure, the nerve is removed from the inside of the tooth and a medication is placed to disinfect and preserve any healthy nerve in the root of the tooth. After this is completed, a stainless steel crown is used to restore the tooth.
Severely decayed front teeth in the young child present a cosmetic issue. Here, a stainless steel crown that has a tooth colored facing is used.
Restorative dental treatment is performed in the office with the use of local anesthesia to numb the mouth and teeth. Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) is often used to help relax the children and provide a mild analgesic effect.
Orthodontic problems in children are either due to crowding of teeth, improper growth and positioning of the jaw bones or a combination of both of these problems.
When these problems are seen in children between the ages of 6 to 8 years old, limited orthodontic treatment could be very helpful in preventing the orthodontic problem from becoming worse. Such treatment is known as Interceptive Orthodontics or Phase I treatment.
By doing Interceptive Orthodontics, bite problems can be corrected that could prevent or reduce the amount of orthodontic care needed in the future. Such treatment includes promotion of front tooth alignment, space maintenance, correction of crossbites and habit control.
Many orthodontic problems are more complex and require a child to grow and develop before a definitive plan of treatment can be developed. In these cases, Comprehensive Orthodontic Treatment is best. This will usually consist of full braces and possibly some type of orthodontic appliance therapy that will promote the proper growth and development of the jaws.
The time to start Comprehensive Orthodontic treatment is between the ages of 11 and 14 years old. Such factor that need to be considered before determining the exact time to begin are growth and development, when permanent teeth are erupting, the child’s emotional and maturity levels and the complexity of the problem.
Dr. Tafaro has extensive training in Orthodontics as he has been providing such care for 15 years. At your child’s recall visits, an orthodontic evaluation is done. This information helps guide us to determine the proper path of care.
Although the primary teeth will eventually be lost, they are vital to a child’s health. Not only are they needed to eat, chew, talk and cosmetic appearance, the primary teeth hold space for the permanent teeth that replace them. When primary molars are lost prematurely, a space maintainer is needed to prevent the shifting of the other primary teeth.
There are two types of space maintainers. Unilateral or one sided space maintainers consist of an orthodontic band placed upon one anchor tooth with a wire soldered to both sides of the band. A bilateral space maintainer uses two orthodontic bands placed on opposing anchor teeth on each side of the jaw with a wire soldered to one side of each band.
The space maintainers are made by taking an impression of your child’s mouth and having it custom made by an orthodontic laboratory. They are cemented in the mouth so they can not be removed. They are removed when the permanent teeth are erupted in the mouth.
How Are Cavities in Very Young Children Treated?
Children under 3 ½ years old who have extensive restorative treatment needs present a problem in delivering quality dental care. Because they can not understand how to cooperate and are unable to tolerate longer appointments, dental care must be provided with the use of general anesthesia.
At our office, these cases are performed at Hunterdon Medical Center. Here, a trained anesthesiologist administers the anesthesia while all of the child’s dental care is completed. All children must undergo a routine physical examination prior to receiving anesthesia and be free of any illnesses.
New Jersey law prevents insurance companies from denying payment for medical benefits for dental care rendered in a hospital. Because of the inherent risk involved in receiving general anesthesia, Dr. Tafaro will only treat cases in which he deems it absolutely necessary.
What is gingivitis and how do you treat it?
Gingivitis is a reversible inflammation of the gum tissues due to plaque accumulation around an in between the teeth. It presents as red, swollen gum tissues where the teeth and gums meet. The body’s immune system recognizes the bacteria and responds to it by sending antibodies to the area to fight the infection. To do this, the small blood vessels become opened and fragile, thereby causing them to bleed when touched. If the gingivitis should worsen, the gum tissues can swell up, over growing the teeth and making it easier for plaque to stay on the teeth.
Treatment for gingivitis starts with more attentive and regular home care. Gentle brushing at the gumline and daily flossing will remove the bacteria and stimulate healing. If bleeding still occurs, then a professional cleaning as well as detailed home care instruction may be needed.
Children who have braces on their teeth are much more prone to developing gingivitis as the braces allow plaque to more easily accumulate. In this case, more attentive and frequent home care care is required.
It should be noted that gingivitis is the first step in gum disease. Because children’s immune systems are normally stronger, progression to more severe forms of gum disease is very limited. However, if good oral hygiene habits are not developed early, then there is a good chance that irreversible gum disease could form. Remember, once you have irreversible gum disease, it can not be cured. The disease can only be controlled through more frequent cleanings and many times surgical procedures.
Dental decay is a bacterial disease of the teeth. This disease begins by bacterial plaque forming sticky colonies around the teeth. These bacteria use sugar to produce an acid that dissolves the minerals out of the tooth’s enamel. This process is known as decalcification or acid attacks. As enamel is decalcified, it becomes porous and soft. Bacteria will infiltrate these pores and continues the process. If undetected, the decay progresses and creates the hole we call the cavity.
Fortunately, our mouth fights against this process by putting minerals back into the teeth through our saliva. However, it takes the mouth 20 minutes to recover from an acid attack before this can occur. If the mouth stays in cavity formation stages more than cavity repair stages, remineralization of the enamel cannot occur.
Cavities that develop in between the teeth are most frequently seen in children who eat lots of small meals, consume juices or soda by sippy cups or straws, or tend to take long times eating meals. Additionally, food that sticks in the mouth takes a long time to be cleared out. This will cause the loss of minerals from the teeth for as long as the food stays in the mouth. Such foods as potato chips, pretzels, and crackers are digested in the mouth to sugar and cause cavities faster than other sugary foods.

Can I Work With Lumbar Stenosis?
It can often be the result of a bulging or ruptured disc in your back. There are several symptoms that you may experience with lumbar stenosis, including severe leg weakness, pain, and the loss of deep tendon reflexes. Pain can be aggravated by movement, particularly walking.
There are various treatment options available, but the kind chosen and its level of effectiveness is dependent upon the severity of your condition.
Surgical treatment options are also available but the effectiveness can vary and the approach used is dependent upon the severity of the symptoms that you are experiencing.
However, lumbar stenosis can be a very debilitating condition that negatively impacts your mobility and makes doing regular activities almost impossible.
If you suffer from lumbar stenosis that has symptoms so severe that your ability to perform daily activities are impacted, you may be eligible for Social Security disability benefits. Lumbar spinal stenosis may qualify for Social Security disability if your condition meets the SSA's Blue Book listing for lumbar stenosis.
Lumbar stenosis can have a significant impact on your mobility, as it causes your spinal canal to narrow.This results in the compression of your spinal cord and nerves.
Because of the severe pain and impacted mobility, you can’t perform work duties that involve walking, lifting, or carrying. The severe pain and how movement impacts it can also make you shift frequently so you can’t stay in one position long.
In addition to causing problems standing and walking, you may have trouble sitting for long because of the pressure inflicted on the lumbar region of your spine. Hand and arm motions can make the pain more intense, so you may not be able to move or inspect items for work.
Because the pain will radiate, you can experience pain in all your limbs. You can experience pain in your thighs, lower back, and buttocks, and you could have severe weakness throughout your lower extremities.
This severe discomfort can make staying in one position for more than a few minutes unbearable. Because of your frequent repositioning requirements, it can be almost impossible to perform any kind of work duties.
Lumbar stenosis can hinder your ability from performing any kind of job. Because of the severe pain and mobility issues, you cannot work construction, drive heavy machinery, or work for a utility company.
You can’t perform shipping and receiving jobs, do stock, or be a warehouse associate because you are unable to lift, carry, reach, climb ladders, or operate a tow motor.
When it comes to much more sedentary work duties, you are negatively impacted as well. The radiating pain can worsen with arm movements, so you can’t do data entry and filing. Answering busy phones is impossible when you are frequently repositioning and in constant pain.
If your lumbar stenosis is affecting your ability to work full time, then you should consider applying for Social Security disability benefits. When you apply for disability benefits, you need to make sure you have as much medical evidence as possible to back up your claim.
You should consult with the SSA's Blue Book before applying, there it will tell you what the SSA looks for when applying for disability benefits with lumbar stenosis. You should have your doctor examine the spine and have results from a sitting and lying straight leg raise test.
You should also include any as x-rays, CT scans, or MRIs of the spine. If you had a surgical procedure on your spine, you should also include a surgical report. Your Social Security attorney will be able to help you make sure all of your medical documents are in order.
If your lumbar stenosis is impacting your ability to work, you should consult with a Social Security attorney. Your attorney will be able make sure all your supporting evidence gets to Disability Determination Services and help you build a strong case.
Your odds of being approved for benefits improve greatly when you are represented by an attorney. Having an attorney will make this process easier for you, and it will give you a better chance of winning your case.

John Law has been grossly overlooked, considered a fraudster, and a criminal. Ignored by most historians is the impact upon the era of John Law upon the theory of money and banking. They will often point to the fact that he had escaped a death sentence for murder in England and refuse to give him credit for much of anything. However, the truth of that matter was John Law fought a duel and won killing Edmund Wilson in Bloomsbury Square. He escaped from prison in London before being put to death. Nevertheless, that was most likely with the aid of the prison guards. Alexander Hamilton was killed in 1804 also in a duel. Although dueling was declared illegal, it was still a contest often over reputation and honor that was a long-standing tradition left over from the days of Trial by Battle.
The more interesting fact is that fleeing England, Law then embarked upon a Grand Tour that exposed him to the dynamic forces of finance that had dominated this period. He fled England and traveled to Amsterdam where he then observed the new developments in banking. Law had previously studied mathematics, commerce, and political economy in London. John remained on the Continent for about 10 years before returning to Scotland, which prior to 1707 under Queen Ann (1702-1714), had been its own country before the union of England, Scotland, and Wales.
“How Goods are valued. Of Barter, of silver; Its Value as a Mettal, its Qualities fitting it for Money, and the Additional Value it received from being us’d as Money.
Goods have a Value from the Uses they are apply’d to; And their Value is Greater or Lesser, not so much from their more or less valuable, or necessary Uses: As from the greater or lesser Quantity of them in proportion to the Demand for them. Example. Water is of great use, yet of little Value; Because the Quantity of Water is much greater than the Demand for it. Diamonds are of little use, yet of great Value, because the Demand for Diamonds is much greater, than the Quantity of them.
Goods of the same kind differ in Value, from any difference in their Quality. (Ex.) One Horse is better than another Horse. Barley of one Country is better than Barley of another Country.
Goods change their Value, from any Change in their quantity, or in the Demand for them. (Ex.) If Oats be in greater Quantity than last year, and the Demand the same, or lesser, Oats will be less valuable.
John Law’s writings influenced many, although they would never admit it. He was clearly the FIRST to use the term DEMAND and he was certainly the FIRST to join it with the word SUPPLY, for only a trader could have seen this connection in price movements of anything. John Law used these two terms to establish the first theory of price movement. Law’s views held that money creation would stimulate the economy, that paper money is preferable to metallic which was proven by the Wisselbank in Amsterdam because coins could be counterfeited or clipped. That meant each and every transaction required the tedious burden of verifying each coin. You deposited your coins in the bank. It then became much easier to pay for a transaction by writing a check or paying in banknotes. When metal was weighed prior to coins, each and every transaction became tedious. That led to the idea of first standardizing the weights, and then stamping the seal of the king to verify its authenticity. But coins could be counterfeited or clipped and we find that it was also easier to create banks to act as the mediator in transactions.

The Buffalo Sabres posted 35 shots on net but Predators goalie Pekka Rinne turned aside each and every one of them as Nashville topped the Sabres by a 4-0 final Monday night in Buffalo. The win was Nashville’s 14th in its past 15 games and the Preds have recorded all but one possible point during that span.
Jack Eichel played nearly 20 minutes in his second game back from injury and paced the Sabres with five shots on goal. Defensemen Rasmus Ristolainen and Brendan Guhle added four shots apiece for Buffalo, but not a single Sabres skater could find a way to put a puck past Rinne who recorded his eighth shutout of the season, setting a career-high after posting seven in both the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 seasons.
After a scoreless opening frame, recently unretired Predators forward Mike Fisher opened the scoring, deflecting a shot in front of Linus Ullmark to give Nashville a 1-0 lead. The original shot was taken by Miikka Salomaki and Fisher got a piece of the puck while leaning on Rasmus Ristolainen, good for Fisher’s second score of the season in his seventh game played.
The Predators doubled their advantage just less than five minutes later when Ryan Johansen converted on a backside rebound opportunity after a 3-on-1 break. Filip Forsberg carried the puck into the offensive zone and fired a shot that Ullmark saved, but the puck trickled off to the other side of the net where Forsberg sat and flipped in the rebound for a 2-0 Nashville advantage.
Nashville added its third score of the night after Forsberg converted on yet another rebound to extend the lead to 3-0. Arvidsson sat in front of the net with the puck on his stick, putting a slight wrist shot on goal. Ullmark made the first save put the puck caromed off his pad and right to Forsberg’s stick in front of an open net after Ullmark had come out to cut down the angle. Forsberg’s 21st of the season put the game out of reach for Buffalo.
Nashville ensured its victory and iced the game when Ryan Hartman broke into the zone and fired an uncontested wrist shot past Ullmark to mark a four-goal advantage for the Predators. Neither Marco Scandella nor Brendan Guhle could get back into the defensive zone in time after Alexei Emelin’s stretch pass led Hartman right into the offensive zone. It was Hartman’s 11th of the season from Emelin and Colton Sissons.
Ullmark stopped 28 of the 32 shots he faced in what was only his second start of the season for Buffalo, his first since January 11th when he made 44 saves against Columbus.
The Sabres hit the ice again Wednesday night against the Arizona Coyotes in a battle of the NHL’s two worst teams. It is game five of the Sabres six-game homestand, where they have picked up three points through the first four contests. Puck drop is slated for 7:00 pm at KeyBank Center in Buffalo.

Deep the heart of the Lincolnshire countryside, hidden away from prying eyes, lies the forest of the Lost Village. Beautiful, surreal and totally unpredictable; this 4 day experience takes revellers on a journey through an abandoned world where anything is possible. From encounters with the paranormal to the most incredible of food, to mind-opening talks and soul-nourishing comedy and relaxation. It really is something else.
Having announced the first wave of this year’s impeccable lineup, including Friendly Fires, Four Tet, Everything Everything, Mount Kimbie, Dixon, DJ Harvey and Peggy Gou, further acts have now been unveiled.
Seminal indie outfit The Go Team!, afro-funkers Ibibio Sound Machine, red-hot New Yorican rapper Wiki and the melodically super-charged George Fitzgerald will all be performing live, whilst artists such as Soulwax alter ego 2manydjs, Leftfield, tINI and Hannah Faith further enrich the beautifully dynamic Lost Village soundscape.

The mantra of “incredible eating” is central to the Lost Village journey – with 2018 promising to take this even further. This year the Tribal Banquets will be curated by the globally celebrated Hawksmoor with Richard H Turner who host a special Sunday feast, the UK’s youngest Michelin-starred chef Tommy Banks and Clerkenwell Boy presenting Cook For Syria. Whilst new addition, The Eating House, will host a collection of eminent London restaurants, such as Caravan, Breddos Tacos and 26 Grains.
Elsewhere in the village you’ll encounter endless wonderments, from relaxation in the Energy Garden, lakeside hot tubs, yoga, the Circus of Astonishment, craft workshops on Forgers Lane, the old Junkyard and its abandoned video games arcade, the Bureau of Lost and much more. Whatever happens, it’s likely to feel like a fever dream once it’s all said and done.

IT'S NOT TOO EARLY TO VOLUNTEER!
IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO VOLUNTEER!
The excavation, led by Dr Haim Cohen of The University of Haifa, at Kursi Beach on the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee is now famous for its spectacular Inscription, which was found in 2015, indicating that Area B is indeed an ancient public building. Since then, we have continued to dig in Area B, uncovering beautiful mosaic floors, stone walls, pillars, a grinding stone and the clear outline of a large building, right next to the shore.
When Dr Cohen first became interested in the site, he noticed that the landmark cliff above the harbour town of Migdal on the Western shore, and the ‘armchair’ made by the hills of Kursi were directly opposite each other, and formed a natural pass for goods and people going from one shore to the other and beyond into the hinterland. It seemed the natural place for a harbour town to be situated.
In addition to the above, Kursi Beach is the site (or close to the site) of Jesus’s miracle of the swine. According to the New Testament, he came ashore on the eastern side of the Sea of Galilee near Gerassa or Gedara, and was approached by one or two (the text is unclear) demon-possessed individual (s), who had been terrorising a nearby town. They lived amongst the tombs and resisted all attempts to contain them. Jesus exorcised the demons, and cast them into a herd of swine, that then ran off a cliff and into the sea where they drowned. The swineherds ran to the village to tell the people what had happened to their pigs, and the villagers came to the shore to meet the stranger who had freed the demoniac (s). According to the text the freed men wanted to leave with Jesus on his boat, but Jesus told them to stay and tell others of what they had seen.
In 2016, Area C revealed a mysterious round structure that is the subject of much debate.
In the 2017 Season, we opened Area D or tel Kursi, that is now under excavation, managed by Iddo Katz.
As with any active archaeological dig, there is always speculation about original usage, but the finds to date have been exciting for students of Biblical Archaeology and shed light on life in the Jordan Valley thousands of years ago.

Provided is an Android app package EzDroid.apk.
I typically use an Android emulator for testing, it’s free and easy to install on all major platforms, so it’s pretty much a no brainer.
After installation, it looks like it maanges to start but exits shortly after, for some unknown reason. Looks like it is time to inspect the code.
I like looking at high-level languages, so let’s start with that first.
BuildConfig and R are compile-time Android-generated classes, so ignore those.
EZMain looks to be the main Activity class. If you are unfamiliar with Android, that’s where the action happens.
I don’t have any dedicated programmers. I have been programming Atmel chips using the USB-to-serial bitbang method.
Recently, I thought I’d get one because doing a re-programming cycle is taking quite a bit of time (a disadvantage of serial port bitbanging).
A popular one on Aliexpress seems to be this “USB ISP” one, so I bought one. I chose this one because it has a nice aluminium case, and a pinout diagram imprinted on the case, which is handy. After having so many one-off projects with bare PCBs collecting dust, I now appreciate the importance of having projects in their own box or case.
While it has “USBasp” in the item name, it turns out that this was not a USBasp device, and getting it to work like one takes some effort.
avrdude does not recognize the device, even after creating an entry with the corresponding vendor/product ID. This particular device was designed to work with their Windows-based UI called ProgISP and will not work with avrdude.
And apparently you can’t just take the USBasp firmware and flash it into this device, because the circuit is somewhat different.
Disassembling the device is simple. While grabbing the side of the case, firmly push the USB connector inwards and the board should slide out the other end. You can then gently pull the board out by the IDC connector.
The programmer seems to be based off of the popular USBasp programmer, but modified somewhat (to what end I’m not sure). It lacks some features offered by other USBasp programmers, like the ability to control the target’s clock, or to use 3.3V for certain targets. But at $2 with a nice aluminium case, what more can you ask for?
It’s powered by an ATmega88 (I read that older versions were based on ATmega8). The markings on the board indicate that this is a MX-USBISP-V4.00. You can ignore tHe date because it was never updated; the older V3.02 also has the same date. While the GreenPhotons blog was talking about V3.00, I have verified that this version suffers from the same issue.
Note that there are provisions on the PCB to add a voltage regulator, and the PCB link marked “C” can be cut to separate USB power from the rest of the system. Link “D” can be cut if you wish to disable target power. However, none of these options were used.
This causes the USB D- line to be actively driven from PD3, thereby impeding communication to/from the USB host.
The rest of this post will talk about (1) correcting this problem in USBasp, and (2) uploading the firmware into your zhifengsoft programmer.
I have been running a software RAID array at home for some time now. It’s a single network storage where I consolidate all my files. I manage this array manually using the mdadm command. Some people choose to buy a NAS storage box which hides all of the implementation details behind a nice Web GUI, but it’s essentially the same thing under the hood.
As long as the other drives in the array doesn’t develop bad sectors in the same stripe, the data can still be reconstructed from the remaining good blocks. This means that you can somewhat leave the drive as it is for a period without replacement, but of course you are taking a risk.
I thought I’d share my experiences with drive replacements thus far.
Most Linux distributions provide the raid-check script for periodic RAID scrubbing. This is basically a background cron job that tells the kernel to start checking the RAID array. For RHEL/CentOS systems, this should occur every weekend.
During this scrubbing process, all drives within the array are read and their parity blocks are computed, to ensure that everything tallies.

The Fashion Greats have spoken and the trends for this coming spring and summer have been set in motion. Now that Spring is officially underway it's time to take a look back on the fads that stormed NY Fashion Week and see what those of us not buying couture frocks straight off the runway can do to make our beautiful spring days stylish and fun.
One of my favorite things to happen this spring is the lace comeback. Everyone from Kate Middleton to Kristen Stewart has been rocking frilly frocks all up and down the red carpet as of late.
For those of you who don't want to risk looking like one of the doilies from your grandmother's vintage furniture store (like poor clemence here), there are more subtle ways to incorporate this fad into your wardrobe.
Take this cute, light, and simple green top that's perfect for a warm day romping around town. Pair it with a set of platform wedges, a fun vest, and a scarf to pull back your hair and you'll be set for any casual spring occasion.
For classy occasions where blue jean cutoffs just won't cut it, there's nothing fancier than a couple of pleats. For extra trendy points, find a pastel skirt, a pastel blouse, and pastel pumps, and color block the heck out that ensemb.
Color blocking hasn't gone away, it's just matured a little. And what's easier than pulling three random colors from your closet and wearing them all at once?
Thanks so much Sarah for your awesome style boards! You can follow Sarah on Bloglovin' & on Pinterest and don't forget to check out her blog!
If you want to be featured on my blog with a guest posting simply email me at Janel@beans4fashion.com !
i really love both of these looks!

Last night it was the 'beauty oscars', the CEW Awards demonstration evening. I'm lucky enough to be a member through work. For those of you who don't know it, CEW (Cosmetic Executive Women) is the main beauty industry board in the UK. It's awards are one of the most sought-after as they give an official stamp of approval for a brand's product. So last night, all the brands who have been shortlisted were able to give their products to CEW members to try and then vote.
Needless to say it was a bit of a free for all, with most people having the same plan of heading for fragrances first, then prestige skincare, then onto the more mass market brands. You just had to grab what you could - a whole room full of beauty-crazed women means dignity kind of goes out the window!
It is hugely exciting checking out all the products when you get home. So many amazing classic and new beauty treats to discover and obviously there are a billion reviews to come! Brands who have been shortlisted include La Prairie, Nails Inc, Dr. Nick Lowe, Liz Earle and so many more!
All members will be voting over the next few weeks with the winners being announced at the end of April!
I would have loved to come to this and become a member of CEW in general, I am giving some serious thought and hope to come to the event next year.

It's 345am, early Tuesday morning.
I'm listening to KJLH 102.3FM, broadcasting from Los Angeles, California.
I've been thinkin' of buying a house. Two story, 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home located on the street I grew up on. The idea of living there and owning the home consumes ALL of my daily thoughts.... and apparently, it consumes my sleep time as well. I fall asleep thinking about owning that home. I have been concentrating so intently on that piece of real estate... hoping to attract all the positive energy in the universe. I define, right now, my truest desire is that of owning that home.
I don't have a detailed plan of how I'll be able to acquire the home. Financing - **shrugs** - don't know what Imma do but I have FULL faith that God and the universe is preparing folks to help me in this endeavor.
All I know is that my intent will move me into that home, God-willing. If you have positive vibes, please send them my way.
you already claimed your house.
mind over matter -- ALWAYS.
it's the duty of the universe to manifest our thoughts. but only the ones that we hold as being true, without any shawdow of doubt clouding our vision.
that home is already yours, honey. don't stray from your path.
You said it's yern', so got GET IT Luv!
A GOOD realtor will already know how to handle the financing, all ya gotta do is find the realty company who has the house and say "I want it".... just don't use your credit cards or make any other major buys until they finish reviewing your credit history.
They do kinda throw you curveballs tho, like asking you why were you delinquent on a payment from FIVE YEARS AGO... like you'd even remember what you ate for lunch last week.
Oh! AND PLEEEEASE MAKE SURE YOUR HUBBY GETS A LEAVE AND EARNING STATEMENT, A STATEMENT OF SERVICE, A-N-D HIS VA CERTIFICATE. Actually, the realtor may be able to get the certificate quicker than he can, especially if he's retired or retiring.
don't know what Imma do but I have FULL faith that God and the universe is preparing folks to help me in this endeavor.
LOVE the way you put that.

George Richard Tiller, MD (August 8, 1941 – May 31, 2009) was an American physician from Wichita, Kansas. He gained national attention as the medical director of Women's Health Care Services, one of only three clinics nationwide to provide late-term abortions at the time.
During his tenure with the center, which began in 1975 and continued the medical practice of his father, Tiller was frequently targeted with protest and violence by anti-abortion groups and individuals. After his clinic was firebombed in 1986, Tiller was shot in both arms by anti-abortion extremist Shelley Shannon in 1993. On May 31, 2009, Tiller was fatally shot in the side of the head by anti-abortion extremist Scott Roeder, as Tiller served as an usher during the Sunday morning service at his church in Wichita. Roeder was convicted of murder on January 29, 2010, and sentenced to life imprisonment.
Tiller was born in Wichita, Kansas, the son of Catherine and Dean Jackson "Jack" Tiller, MD. He studied at the University of Kansas School of Medicine from 1963 to 1967. Shortly thereafter, he held a medical internship with United States Navy, and served as flight surgeon in Camp Pendleton, California, in 1969 and 1970. In July 1970, he planned to start a dermatology residency. However on August 21, 1970, his parents, sister and brother-in-law were killed in an aircraft accident. In her will, his sister requested that Tiller take care of her one-year-old son. Tiller had intended to go back to Wichita, close up his father's family practice and then go back to become a dermatologist. However, he quickly felt pressure to take over his father's family practice. Tiller's father had performed abortions at his practice. After hearing about a woman who had died from an illegal abortion, Tiller stayed in Wichita to continue his father's practice.

To the uninitiated, SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is a subset of digital marketing that is used to drive traffic from search engines to websites, without paying for ads. Here’s a quick rundown of how it works.
That might not sound like a lot of fun on its own, but the industry is. I’ve been a part of it since 2011, and since then the market has gone through more changes than most industries see in an entire lifetime. But through it all, SEO specialists are still in high demand, and plenty of them are pulling in over $100k a year from a skill set that doesn’t really require a college education.
The flipside of this is that you can’t really learn SEO in school. The industry changes too quickly for formal education to stay relevant, and it’s ultimately too niche for anyone to offer a major in it.
Moz is one of the biggest and most respected publication in SEO, and for very good reason. Their beginner’s guide to SEO is absolutely free and it’s better than any paid resource out there.
Start by reading it. Yes, all of it.
Afte that, you might want to head back to their SEO learning center, or check out their awesome Whiteboard Friday video series.
Not all SEOs have web design skills, but it’s important to have some rudiments down.
CodeAcademy is another good choice, and W3Schools is a halfway decent reference, but you don’t have to get too deep into them for now.
The important thing is that you recognize the main building blocks of a website and how to use them, so when someone says “that anchor tag is dofollow” or “that tracking script needs to be called before the closing body tag,” you’re not just standing in the outfield and picking your nose.
By now your head is probably swimming from a little information overload, so let’s focus it on the important stuff.
Moz’s 2015 search ranking factors, Moz’s 2017 local search ranking factors, and Local SEO Guide’s 2016 local SEO ranking factors all tell slightly different sides of the same story. All three resources are built to show you all ranking factors in order of importance, so you’ll know where to focus your energy. They all differ in focus, year, and data collection methodology, but they all tend to agree on the big picture.
We’re already up to the moment of truth.
At this point, it’s not worth learning more until you get your hands dirty.
The easiest way to start here is to find someone who already has a business that could benefit from SEO. Start small: a family friend’s yoga studio or the laundromat down the street would be perfect.
Be up front with them that this is your first project, and either do it for free or charge enough to cover your costs. At this point, you just need a foot in the door.
If they don’t have a website yet, consider learning WordPress if you want to get into web design, or slapping something together in Squarespace if you don’t. While Squarespace’s sites are far from perfect (especially when it comes to SEO), it’s extremely easy to use and gets enough of the fundamentals right to be passable.
Go on, just do it. It will be fun.
If you got your first project to cover a few costs, consider buying into a good SEO tool. If you can manage $100 per month, give it to Ahrefs or Moz for an all-in-one suite. You can also shave a couple bucks off by going with Majestic instead.
Either way, make sure your site is set up with both Google Analytics and Search Console. They’re free and you have no excuse not to use them.
As long as you don’t do anything shady, like trying to spam up directories or buy links, there isn’t much to worry about here. Just keep the business owner in the loop, be honest when something goes wrong (which it will), and keep at it until you see some results. It’s a messy process that requires a lot of trial and error, and that’s all part of the fun.
Once you see real results from this project, congratulations. You now have a skill you can charge for. Reach out through your network for new projects, or start looking for entry level positions. You’re already prepared for them.
Find good blogs to follow, like the Moz blog, Yoast’s SEO blog, and Search Engine Land.
Find good discussions and places to ask SEO-related questions, like inbound.org, Quora, and Facebook groups.
Find good mentors to follow.
The more you learn, the more you still won’t know. But as long as your laundrymat or yoga studio is beating the other guy’s, you’re doing something right.
Here’s where the money happens.
Since it’s impossible to learn everyting there is to know about SEO, your best chance at steady and lucritive long-term employment is to develop into a T-shaped marketer.
No, that doesn’t mean you need to work on your shoulders and drop a few pounds.
Instead, learn enough about every discipline in web marketing and SEO that you can at least have a conversation about it, and then specialize in one aspect that resonates with you. That could be local SEO, ecommerce SEO, international SEO, user experience, link building, reputation management, blogging, or even just specializing in one industry, like SEO for marijuana businesses. The options are pretty much endless here.
Once you’ve developed a sturdy T shape, it’s easier to find new projects—and jobs—that you’re prepared for.
Or, at the very least, share this advice and help me grow my empire, okay?

I thought I’d change things up a bit today. In addition to its key role in business profit maximization, price plays a fundamental role in social policy (e.g., Nixon’s price controls, milk regulation, etc.). I believe price can play an important role in ending the war in Afghanistan.
Our opposition, the Taliban, is reportedly the key benefactor from growing opium in Afghanistan (which supplies 90% of the world’s opium and most of the heroin sold in Europe). According to the Washington Post, opium production broke all records in 2006: production increased by 26% and the amount of land devoted to growing opium increased by 61%. Narcotics is a $2.6 billion a year industry, accounting for 1/3 of Afghanistan’s gross domestic product. As opium profits grow, so does the Taliban’s budget to battle American military forces.
While growing opium is illegal, corruption seems to be the key reason why the trade thrives. According to a 2006 report by the World Bank and the U.N. Office of Drugs and Crime, the Afghani drug industry “works closely with sponsors in top government and political positions.” And while the U.S. Government has tried to eradicate drug fields by using aerial herbicide spraying, the Afghanistan government prohibits this practice. The only approved way to eradicate opium fields is by using tractors to drag heavy bars. Oh, and by the way, this eradication must be done by Afghani police...who reportedly are not exactly Boy Scouts.
In yesterday’s Boston Globe, Robert Rotberg (director of Harvard’s Program on Intrastate Conflict and president of the World Peace Foundation) wrote an editorial which he intones is a “radically new, incentive-based method to provide better incomes to farmers with substitute crops.” So what’s Professor Rotberg’s radical answer…focus on price! He proposes the West guarantee “above market” prices for wheat and pledge to buy unlimited quantities of wheat from Afghani farmers for the next 10 years. His thinking is that if it’s more profitable to grow wheat (courtesy of price subsidies), farmers will stop growing opium.
While I’m no expert on international politics, I do know a bit about pricing. An Afghani farmer currently earns between 12 – 25 times (estimates vary) more growing opium than wheat – so this subsidy program would be expensive. And let’s face it, if the government ups wheat prices, do you really think the Taliban is going to throw in the towel and walk away in defeat? With large operating profits and customers that are insensitive to price, I can assure you the Taliban will up opium prices. Thus, I doubt this subsidy pricing program is implementable.
While I’m not on board with Professor Rotberg’s pricing idea…I do believe price can play an important part in reducing the drug trade and defeating the Taliban. Today, an Afghani farmer evaluates what crop s/he should plant based on the price they’ll receive at harvest time. But when evaluating opium crop prices, it’s not correct to evaluate the price a farmer receives at face value, because s/he faces the possibility of loss (crop destroyed) or imprisonment. Fair point, right?
The right way to evaluate a farmer’s opium income was articulated in 1944 by John von Neuman and Oskar Morgenstern, two Princeton University economists. In a nut shell, farmers need to look at the expected value of growing opium which is equal to: [(probability of a successful harvest) x (market price)] + [(probability of harvest being destroyed by drug enforcement/imprisonment) x (cost of losing crop)]. Consider the following example: suppose a farmer can earn 150,000 Afghanis ($4,000) per acre of opium vs. 6,000 Afghanis ($160) for wheat. Assume there is a 90% chance the crop will be successfully harvested and a 10% chance it will be destroyed (but no imprisonment). The expected value would be (90% x 150,000) + [10% x (-6,000: the loss from not lawfully growing wheat)] = 134,400 Afghanis. Even accounting for the risk of losing the crop, the expected value is still quite lucrative.
The U.S. needs to focus its efforts on lowering the expected value of opium prices. Step one, lean on American-backed president of Afghanistan Hamid Karzai (whose sister coincidentally owns the popular Helmand restaurant which is located across the street from where I live) to focus on the negative side of expected value equation: let the U.S. spray herbicides and up the penalties/enforcement for growing opium. By lowering this expected value, opium harvests will decline leaving lower profits to fund the Taliban.

If your vacation dreams include these nearby features, windsurfing, kayaking and fishing, look no further. This rental is in a prime location for all outdoor adventurers. With the lovely landscaping and large grassy area your dog is sure to get their fill of outdoor fun as well.

This soundfront paradise offers the ultimate island vacation with over 80′ of water-frontage and includes a 400′ deep-water dock, nearly 4′ deep at low tide, perfect to bring your boat and experience the coastal lifestyle. Unique to this house is a floating dock system includes dockage for guests boats, as well as a kayak launch system (5 provided) so you can make a short trip across the water over to nearby uninhabited islands to sunbathe on a private beach or just explore the beauty of Bogue Sound. Boat to restaurants on the ICW or try your luck at fishing from your boat or off the dock (plumbed fish cleaning station at the end of dock). Close to the shoreline along the house, it is sandy and shallow – ideal for playing and wading with children or floating on rafts. This home includes a 33′ swimming pool and a game room with pool table, wet bar, TV, wine cooler and stereo wired to both indoor/outdoor speakers.
Even if you’re staying in a vacation rental that has a gas or charcoal grill, you’ll still want to get out and explore the dining options around the Southern Outer Banks area. The local cuisine is always one of the highlights of a beach vacation, and your dog shouldn’t miss out on the fun experience. We’ve compiled a list of restaurants in the area that are pet-friendly, and also very delicious!
If you’re in or around Beaufort, grab some delicious pizza, crab cakes, or Caribbean jerk chicken at Queen Anne’s Revenge, where the outdoor seating is perfect for dogs. The Boardwalk Café is open for breakfast and lunch, serving up yummy omelets, pancakes, waffles, grilled sandwiches, and numerous seafood options. Their outdoor patio overlooking the downtown boat docks welcomes dogs. If it’s happy hour, head to the historic Backstreet Pub. Dogs are welcome inside and out, and all will enjoy the live music, laidback atmosphere, and generous selection of tap and bottled beers.
While in Salter Path, chow down at Big Oak Drive in and BBQ, where they serve up scrumptious shrimp burgers that you eat in your car, making it perfect to bring our dog along.

Swansboro is another town that has multiple options for pet-friendly dining. The Icehouse Waterfront Restaurant offers a variety of seafood, burgers, and flatbreads that you can with your dog on their front porch tables.

Dogs are treated to a clean bucket of water, a small milkbone and a stunning waterfront view for your family and fur baby to enjoy over a meal or sunset happy hour. Or check out the Church Street Irish Pub and Deli, which serves hot and cold sandwiches, hot dogs, and salads you can enjoy with your pet at their outdoor tables. If you’re looking for just some beverages and snacks, visit Bake, Bottle, and Brew. Dogs are welcome at their outdoor tables while you enjoy flavorful ice cream, hot and iced coffee, craft beer, or wine, all with a spectacular elevated view of downtown or the Intracoastal Waterway.
Dogs naturally live for the outdoors, and that’s why the Southern Outer Banks is the best vacation destination for you and your pet. There are plenty of outdoor activities and attractions that you and your furry friend can enjoy.
Dogs are allowed on the beaches and in the water, but remember to keep them on a leash at all times and clean up after them. They’re going to love being a part of all of the action, whether you’re talking a long sunset stroll with your honey, or looking for that perfect shiny shell along the coast. You could even teach your dog to fish with you!
There are dozens of walking and hiking trails in the area where your dog can accompany you on an adventure. The trail at Emerald Isle Woods Park is a 1.7-mile path that is ideal for walking and jogging with your dog, and provide beautiful views of Bogue Sound and the Cameron Langston Bridge. With the trail being part of the North Carolina Birding Trail, you are sure to spot several native birds, woodpeckers and shore birds. Plus, you might spot some white-tailed deer and gray squirrels, so be sure to keep your dog on a leash!
Another great trail exists in the Theodore Roosevelt Natural Area, an expansive 265-acre nature preserve, conveniently located next to the town’s most visited attraction, the North Carolina Aquarium. The 1.25-mile-long trail winds along the top of a high dune ridge and alongside interior and soundside marshes. You and your pet will be surrounded by the beautiful maritime forest, and be on the lookout for birds, insects, lizards, turtles, deer and other animals. It’s the perfect atmosphere for exploring with your dog.
You may also want to take a journey through some of the local state parks. Hammocks Beach State Park is located just south of Swansboro and welcomes your leashed dog. The beaches here are some of the most beautiful beaches on the East Coast with miles of unspoiled barrier island beaches and maritime forests. The State Park offers many activities that are fun for the whole family, including your dog. You can enjoy swimming, sunning, picnicking, fishing, camping, shelling, boating and much more.
Fort Macon State Park in Atlantic Beach is a historic landmark and home to a Civil War fort. Located on Bogue Banks near Atlantic Beach, Fort Macon State Park is surrounded by three sides of water – the Atlantic Ocean, Beaufort Inlet and Bogue Sound. The prime attraction for canine hikers here is the best dune-backed beach walking on the Crystal Coast. In addition to the wide sand at low tide, your dog can explore the shallow waters and crannies around the jetty at the end of the island. Just a friendly reminder that dogs are not allowed in the bathhouse or at the swimming area, but they can spend the day enjoying the entire park with you.
Dogs have become a major part of people’s families, and we want to ensure that includes them on your vacations. So this year as you plan your summer vacation in Emerald Isle make sure to check out our pet friendly vacation rentals so the entire family can come, including Fido. Start planning on making many memories today at the Crystal Coast.
