What are Considered Dental Emergencies in Fort McMurray?
Dental emergencies can be frightening and painful for anyone, especially children. A dental emergency in Fort McMurray should not be ignored; any injury to the mouth, teeth, or gums can be potentially serious. Ignoring a dental injury increases the risk of permanent damage and -the need for more complex and costly treatment later on. Teeth can become fractured by biting on hard objects or foods and trauma to the head or mouth area can cause teeth to break or soft tissue damage to the lips, tongue or gums. Even grinding your teeth as you sleep can cause damage! Sometimes restorative devices such as crowns and fillings can be damaged or fall out.
If you or a family member has suffered a dental injury, the first step would be to identify the injury and make sure the patient’s airway is not blocked by swelling, blood, or debris. Gently rinse your mouth with warm water and get any bleeding stopped with direct pressure to the injury. If the injury area is swelling, apply a cold compress to the outside of your mouth or cheek. See your dentist as soon as possible.
Chipped or Broken Teeth – Gently rinse your mouth using warm water, save any broken pieces of tooth you can find. Apply clean gauze with direct pressure to the area until the bleeding stops. To keep swelling down, apply a cold compress to the outside of the mouth near the broken tooth, this may also help reduce pain. Never apply pain medication pills, such as Aspirin, directly to a dental injury site. Come see our dentists at Uptown Dental Centre as soon as possible.
Knocked Out Tooth – If you can find the tooth, be very careful to avoid touching the root area, rinse it with water. Do not scrub or remove any attached tissue fragments. If possible, try to put the tooth gently back into place in your mouth. If it will not go, do not force it into the tooth socket, place the tooth in a small container of milk or salt water. Seek immediate dental attention; the sooner the patient and their tooth get to the dentist the higher the chances the tooth can be saved.
Objects Wedged Between the Teeth – If you cannot dislodge food debris or an object stuck between your teeth, see your dentist as soon as possible. Sharp instruments should never be used to poke at objects stuck between the teeth; they can cause further damage by cutting the gums or scratching the tooth surface.
Losing a Filling or Crown – If a filling has cracked or fallen out you can use a piece of sugarless gum stuffed in the hole as a temporary measure to keep food and debris out. If a crown has come loose or fallen out and the exposure is causing pain, you can try applying a few drops of clove oil to the exposed tooth. Clove oil is available at most grocery and drug stores. To protect the tooth until you can see the dentist you can try reinserting the crown over the tooth using toothpaste or a denture adhesive to hold it in place. In either case, see your dentist as soon as possible.
Broken Brackets or Wires on Braces – If a bracket or wire breaks or is poking into your cheek or gums you can try using the eraser at the end of a pencil to push the sharp parts down into a more comfortable position. If that is unsuccessful, you can cover the sharp points with orthodontic wax or a cotton ball until you can get to our office. Never try cutting a broken wire because it could slip into your throat or your airway.
Suspected Abscess – Infections that occur in the spaces between the teeth and gums or around the root of a tooth are called abscesses. They are a serious and often painful condition that can damage surrounding tissues and teeth and can spread to other parts of the body if left untreated for any length of time. See your dentist as soon as possible if you notice a painful or swollen bump on your gum. In the meantime, rinsing with a salt water solution several times a day can ease the pain and draw the infection up toward the surface.
Soft Tissue Injuries – Injuries to the tongue, cheeks, gums, and lips can result in bleeding. Gently rinse with warm water and then use a clean piece of gauze to apply direct pressure to the bleeding site, holding pressure until the bleeding stops. A cold compress on the outside of the mouth over the injury area can help control bleeding and temporarily relieve pain. Seek immediate medical attention at a hospital emergency room if the bleeding is severe or cannot be stopped with direct pressure.
If you are not sure if your mouth injury or pain is a dental emergency, please call us. At Uptown Dental Centre in Fort McMurray, our friendly-and professional dental team is more than happy to take your call and answer any questions you have about dental care, urgent or otherwise. If you are having a Dental Emergency in Fort McMurray, contact Uptown Dental Centre as soon as possible at 780-791-5538.

“This is our second practice in three years,” proclaimed drummer Jesse Shreibman at the beginning of a whirlwind set by Chico surf rock band Mammoth Torta.
Although the reunited band had forgotten how some songs started and some song names altogether, it didn’t stop it from powering through 30 minutes of intense, surf-influenced instrumental rock Saturday along with Seattle-based garage rock band Murmurs at Duffy’s Tavern.
Mammoth Torta covered many styles of surf music and played songs varying from just one to three minutes long. Every aspect of surf music was touched, from lazy, beachy tunes to “Pulp Fiction”-like guitar riffs.
And this was fairly obvious while watching the musicians play. Their sound was more raw than other surf bands out right now and had a certain grittiness that is hard to find.
With Ben Terhune’s phenomenal guitar work, reminiscent of Real Estate or Man or Astro-Man?, and Shreibman’s breakneck drumming skills, the two-piece band filled Duffy’s with its sound and left everyone cheering for an encore.
Murmurs, Shreibman’s Seattle-based band, opened the set with a riff-heavy garage rock show. With a sound that could be compared to some of the early Sub Pop Records bands, it played a grungy set that seemed a little two-dimensional next to Mammoth Torta’s energetic, quirky set. The band still held it down though, all members playing their instruments with skill and creating a wall of sound that could not be missed.
The most impressive aspect of the performance was Shreibman’s skill as a drummer in both surf punk or garage rock. He was able to play with unrealistic speed and precision while still switching up his style.
Both bands pulled a decent sized crowd, but it was easy to tell a majority were there because they loved Mammoth Torta from its active Chico days, which made for a loving, fun vibe that won’t soon be forgotten.
It’d be hard to find anyone who would disagree after such a killer set.

Do you remember autumn 2012? I do. Milton had a room open for rent in the basement.
At the time, the hallway leading to the studios had an exposed ceiling made up of rusty boiler pipes and old wires. Two fluorescent lights plugged into extension cords flickered irritably whenever you walked through. The lights revealed webs gone old and dusty from spiders that had abandoned them for better locale.
Carrie Carpunky had been using her in-laws basement as a photography studio. Not having access to private space for clients, not to mention room for her props and backdrops, was becoming a problem. Plus, she knew there was only so much her business could grow without testing the limits of even the most gracious family hospitality.
Surprisingly, Carrie wasn’t the only photographer looking at the open basement room. I didn’t know anything about either potential tenant. They both seemed like they’d pay their rent...and that was about as far as my own sense of judgement had developed. I was still green myself at running a then-fledgling incubator.
Carrie’s apprehension gave way to her ambition. Check in hand, her eyes began tearing up as she signed the lease on her first commercial space.
She now had a six month trial lease and plans to shoot enough family Christmas card portraits to make it work through the winter.
I don’t have a business degree- how can I run a business?
Am I charging too much? I’m so new, why would anyone pay for this when there are so many other photographers?
Will I be able to make my rent? What if I’m lying to myself?
But 2012 Carrie had the one quality in spades that indicates future success: determination.
Year One...Her business grew. She traded for better props with other photographers until she could invest in buying them herself.
Year Two...Her business grew. She reinvested in herself, learning from the industry’s leading professionals how to constantly become better.
Year Three and Four...Her business grew. She moved to a better space inside The Milton Schoolhouse- and then upgraded a second time.
How many small businesses can tell the same story of growth year after year? Only small businesses ran by people determined to turn their passion into a profession. Entrepreneurs like Carrie.
Two stories stick out to me when I think about Carrie and our business together these last five years.
The first, was a cancer scare.
Carrie had beat cancer just prior to starting her business. She went in for an annual evaluation and they found something. She had just moved to a higher cost studio inside Milton and came to me preparing for the worst.
Her business was doing good but she couldn’t sustain paying rent without working. For me, it was the first time I realized that my commitment to providing a space for small businesses came with a greater moral responsibility.
Fortunately, the scare was false and her business continued to flourish without gap.
I admired her determination. It was contagious working alongside someone also passionate about their work. Carrie’s presence challenged me to define my mission at The Milton Schoolhouse. I knew I wanted to be more than “a landlord”. The Milton Schoolhouse was meant to help Alton grow successful small businesses.
The second story happened soon after Carrie committed to leasing our premiere studio (the current studio down the hall from Maeva’s).
Her business had grown so much more than she projected that she had found out her quarterly tax payments weren’t going to cover what she owed. Can you imagine growing so much you surprise your accountant?!
I can’t remember the amount but it was some four-figure number that would’ve made anyone freak. Carrie didn’t freak. She rolled up her sleeves announced a surprise mini session weekend.
And she is still making it today. It’s be an incredible privilege to be the place Carrie chose to turn her hobby into a full time profession. Having her personality in my life, day after day, has been a blessing beyond words.
That’s why it makes me happy to echo the announcement that Carrie’s studio will be moving next month to a storefront location in downtown Alton. It’s a huge move for her business- she’ll be taking on a space that is double in size of her current studio and offers great amenities for the moms and babies who adore her.
Carrie Carpunky Photography is the fifth business that has started inside The Milton Schoolhouse and successfully grown beyond our walls, and the third to relocated to a larger studio in Alton. When new business join us, I’m proud to state that we have a 82% success rate of our start-ups surviving longer than 3 years. These statistics are fantastic and we get them by offering opportunities that no other commercial property in this region does.
With growth comes the bittersweetness of saying “au revoir” to an amazing part of our Milton Schoolhouse family as Carrie Carpunky grows into her new space- and the fresh excitement of knowing there is now another space in our building for someone else’s passion to come alive.

What in the blue hell is Zombie Run?
Zombie Run is a 5k & 15k run with zombies.
From the moment you leave the start line, you’ll be running, crawling, and fleeing in horror from the hordes of undead whose only mission is to devour you alive! Will you survive not only the mud and the ravenous monsters, but the fear within yourself? Only you can decide.
How does the whole Zombie Run exactly work?
It’s very simple. When you register, you are given a flag belt with three health flags on it. Wear it so that one is on each hip, and one is behind you. Zombies will attempt to take your health flags. Each zombie may only take ONE health flag. If you make it to the finish line with at least one health flag, you survived. DO NOT hide the health flags under your clothes, or tuck them in in any way. This is cheating, and will get you disqualified.
Will I become a zombie if I loose all of my health flags?
You will not become a zombie, and cannot attack other runners. Doing so is a violation of the rules and will get you disqualified and asked to leave. However, you can still finish the race while you are infected.
Will I still get a finisher medal even if I loose all of my health flags?
Yes. You will get a finisher medal whether you finish the race dead or alive. Use it as motivation for the next outbreak!
Can zombies physically attack the runners?
No! No biting, tackling, pushing, or grabbing of anything but one health flag per runner is allowed. If you do any of these things, you will be escorted out of Zombie Race with no refund or perks.
Are there different kinds of zombies?
How many zombies will be on the course?
What if I do not fulfill my zombie tasks?
Not only will you embarrass the whole zombie clan, you will be asked to sit out of the race.
Zombie Race is a challenge but not impossible. You’ll be glad you did it. It’s gonna be a hell of a time!
How do I know how fast I ran?
Zombie Race is not timed. Surviving the race with a health flag is the goal not finishing it fast.
No. You can walk the course or bypass any mud pit if you wish.
Is it easy to get lost on the course?
No. The course is marked so you’ll know what direction to run in.
How does each obstacle work?
You won’t know exactly til race day! Zombie fanatics relish challenging surprises! Most locations do not have obstacles. Check the specific event page to see if there are obstacles at your desired location. Click on your location’s page for a detailed map of the race.
Can a fellow runner help me get through an obstacle if I cannot do it by myself?
Sure. Most runners have spectacular sportsmanship. You will see a lot of strangers helping strangers. Most locations do not have obstacles. Check the specific event page to see if there are obstacles at your desired location. Click on your location’s page for a detailed map of the race.

Participating in Zombie Race has risk. Please enter at your own discretion. There will be medical personnel and an ambulance at the event in case of an emergency.
Will I be able to participate even if I am in bad shape or don’t exercise regularly?

How can I get in better shape for Zombie Race?
Can we form a team?

The first thing a buyer sees when viewing homes for sale is the landscape. Often the first question a buyer has about that landscape is whether or not there is a pool. In South Florida, the swimming pool is a center for family life, entertaining and recreation. When a buyer asks, “Can we add a pool to the property?” you want to provide an accurate answer and connect with an expert in the field that can guide them through the process.
Because most buyers want to put their own mark on their properties, enhancing the landscape so they can enjoy that outdoor living space is a priority. Do you have a landscaping and pool provider partner you can rely on as a go-to and supportive resource for your buyers?
Realtors benefit when they can offer landscaping and pool services as an extension of their professional services. You can make sure buyers’ questions are answered before the sale, and include any important concessions in the deal that will allow their backyard dreams to come true.
After all, knowing the landscape’s needs, costs and possibilities could be the different between making a sale or having the prospect walk away.
As a long-standing affiliate partner of The Florida Keys Board of Realtors, our team of 85-plus trained experts can assist realtors (with little or no out-of-pocket expense) so you can focus on achieving buyers’ and sellers’ goals.
Here’s how partnering with Reef Tropical as your landscape and pool “team” can benefit your clients who are buying and selling homes and position you as a realtor of choice.
It is wintertime and I have a beautiful home in South Florida that I am sharing with my family and friends. In addition, my wife and I are planning a holiday party. In our preparations, besides the usual food, drinks and décor, I always focus on my outdoor living space. This space encapsulates the first impression and delivers a unique interactive experience for my guests.
As the president of Reef Tropical Pool and Landscape, here is what I have done to prepare.
First and foremost, take care of your basic needs. The National Hurrican Center is the best source for infomation on that.
The trees that cause the most damage include: Australian pine tree, Mahogany, Ficus, Laurel Oak, Queen Palm and Tabebuia. Taking these precautions may help reduce property damage and keep your family safe.
Water usage is a major topic amongst vacation homeowners (second homes), contractors and managers this time of year (May – June) in South Florida. No one wants a high water bill. It is dry, hot and the days are long. Irrigation systems are running and weekend rentals are easy to sell. In this post, we will tell you what you can do to investigate any current high usage. In addition, we will go over systems or services you can put in place to prevent future occurrences.

Q: What schools do children/youth living on the installation and living off base attend?
Q: What schools do children/youth living off base attend?
A: The approximate day school starts in the state of Missouri falls during the second week in August. This may vary slightly depending on the school district your child will be attending. For the 2015-16 school years, most districts are beginning school on or about the 13th of August.
Q: How old must a child be to start school?
Any child who completes the kindergarten year shall not be required to meet the age requirements of a district for entrance into grade one." This law does not specify the type of kindergarten program that must be completed prior to promotion to the first grade. Most school districts accept successful completion of kindergarten at any accredited public, private or parochial school as sufficient basis for promotion to the first grade. A child transferring from an unaccredited school, such as a home school, may be subject to additional evaluation to determine promotion.
Q: What are the Missouri State Vaccine Requirements?
A: The requirements are different depending on the age of your child. The National Vaccine Information Center will give you current general information, vaccination requirements, and exemption information for religious & medical reasons.
Q: Which schools do most of the installation children attend?
A: The rule of thumb for the school districts surrounding our area is that a student will walk to school if they live within one mile of the school they are attending. There are many exemptions for this rule based on age & special needs of the student so it is best to call the school district directly for more information.
All students living on base attending Knob Noster Middle School and Knob Noster High School ride the bus into Knob Noster. The schools are approximately 2-2.5 miles outside of our base gates. The Elementary & Middle schools are side by side. Transportation is provided by the school district and the time spent riding the buses varies based on where you live and pick-up times on your street. The pick-up times also vary depending on if your child is on A=first run, B=second run or C=third run through the community. Current bus routes are posted on the individual district's webpage.
Q: What are the boundaries for the various off-base schools?
A: Missouri is not an open enrollment state. A student will attend the public school in the city or town that they reside. There is no exception for military connected families.
Q: What is the school registration procedure?
A: In Missouri, children must be a legal resident of the school district they attend. It is not an "open enrollment" state. Students living in one district who wish to attend school in a different district must apply for and be officially accepted as a paying tuition student before starting their first day.
Q: What kind of before & after-school and holiday care programs are available?
A: The Whiteman Youth Center offers a DoD certified Before and After School Program which is nationally accredited through the Council on Accreditation. Care is provided from 6:00 AM -until the start of the school day and from the end of the school day to 6:00 PM. Care is also available during non-school days for enrolled families. District bus service is offered to and from the program to Knob Noster Elementary and Knob Noster Middle School. Children attending Whiteman Elementary School will simply walk across the street with one of the providers. For more information on the Before and After School Program please contact the youth center at 687-5586.
Q: What are the state procedures for home schooling?
A: Home schooling is one of the options available for meeting the state's compulsory attendance law, Section 167.031, RSMo. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) does NOT regulate or monitor home schooling in Missouri. Neither the State Board of Education nor the Department has the authority to issue regulations or guidelines concerning home schooling.
According to section 167.031, RSMo - a parent or guardian of a child, between seven and seventeen years of age, shall cause the child to attend regularly some public, private, parochial, parish, home school or a combination of such schools.

Personalization is a growing trend in small business ecommerce, and if you're interested in growing your compnay's online presence you should look for ways to customize each customer's experience. With so many personalization options available, we talked with a couple of experts to discover the best opportunities for small business e-tailers who are ready to tackle personalized ecommerce.
If you want to create a more personalized experience for your customers, you have a host of strategies available—email newsletters and sales alerts, abandoned shopping-cart notifications, product recommendations and customer-specific discount codes, just to name a few.
If you're unsure where to begin, Josh Patrice, director of SEO at Portent, says, "Connecting the in-store and online experience is a great place to start." He points to some of the strategies employed by large clothing retailers, where they accept online coupons in their physical stores, and the mannequins sport the same trendy outfits featured on the website. "You can't get better online/offline crossover than that," Patrice says.
Small businesses that live exclusively online shouldn't despair. Opportunities on the Internet abound for improving the customer experience. "This is where I think the most exciting strategies exist due to the technology we can leverage," Patrice says of Web-only companies.
One personalization method entails using the customer's IP address to tailor the online catalog to their local weather conditions or city-specific items. A more direct approach can also be fruitful, such as giving new customers a brief survey to "discover their style or interests," Patrice explains. "Then, you can cater new products or deals to the shopper." You can also evaluate a customer's previous purchases to suggest related products.
Whether your business is online or has physical locations for customers to visit doesn't matter. Graeme Grant, president and COO of CQuotient, says it's crucial that you personalize your website, because Web pages all tend to look very similar. "Tailoring the experience may include showing customers items specifically recommended for them as they shop around a website," he explains.
It's a tactic large companies employ often, and though they use big systems to determine recommendations based on shopping patterns, it still feels personal to the customer. Grant says that feeling of personal connection is one advantage that small businesses have over large businesses. "It's that level of, 'Hey, they know me.' It's unique, it's personal, it's connected."
What Do SMBs Get Out of This Personalization Effort?
The payoff for developing a more personal ecommerce strategy is multi-layered. Before we talk about sales or customer engagement, Grant says it's important to look at what may be the biggest perk: setting your business apart from the large online retailers so often seen as the go-to place for purchases.
"The problem with small retailers moving online is that they are no longer competing with people in their neighborhood. They are fundamentally competing with Amazon," he explains. It's crucial that small firms give customers a reason to shop with them instead of the Amazons of the world.
"Your core advantage is that you are more personal, more unique and more special, and that has to come through in everything you do," notes Grant. This means more personalized email messages, more unique strategies for presenting products to customers and more "we understand you" communication once the buying experience is done.
We can't look at ecommerce without talking about increasing conversions, getting more sales and boosting revenue. But before you put on your benchmarking hat, Patrice says small business owners should realize the benefits will appear to be primarily for the customer. The tangible benefits are deeper down. Things like improving customers' experiences on your website and engaging them more fully all reflect back on the bottom line.
"If your customers enjoy shopping your site and they form a strong bond with your brand, products, etc., then they'll buy more items more often," Patrice explains. Happy customers are also more likely to recommend your business to friends. "A good advocate is hard to come by in the online shopping world," Patrice says.
Small business firms should do their best to avoid these common ecommerce pitfalls. Patrice sometimes sees small shop owners try too hard to do too much. "Focus on one thing," he suggests. "If you want to honor your online coupons in-store, then research how to do it, get the equipment needed, plan for the days of the sale, test it out and then go for it." He stresses the need for testing, as what looks like a perfectly executed strategy may yield nothing if it isn't working properly.
It's also common for small businesses to give up on an ecommerce strategy before it's had a chance to really work. Be sure you give yourself enough time to know you've mastered one aspect of your plan before adding a new marketing strategy to the mix.
Consistency is important, according to Grant. "Figure out your voice, figure out that you're going to be personal and relevant, and then do it always." Any ecommerce personalization plan can quickly fall apart if you don't execute your strategy well all the time.
"Consumers receive tons of messages," Grant explains. They won't look at every communication you send them or every personalization feature on your website, but you don't need them to. "You're trying to establish a communication channel," Grant says. "You've got to earn the trust of that communication channel every time, so you've got to be consistent with the strategy."

Visit the ancient ground that dinosaurs once walked on at the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site, then head over to the Rosenbruch World Wildlife Museum for a glimpse at what came next. After that, visit the St. George Art Museum, and then take some kiddos (or just the kid within yourself) to the St. George Childrens Museum and see what adventures you can come up with there. Go out and see all that St. George has to offer!
Attend a St. George Cultural Event Want to see a play, musical, comedian, or orchestra? Check out the local St. George theaters. With world-class performers coming to the outdoor amphitheater at Tuacahn Center for the Arts, you are bound to be in awe. Take a peek at St. Georges history by attending a performance at St. George Musical Theater or Brighams Playhouse. Get some friends together or take a date. No matter what you see, you will leave wanting to go back again and again.
If you were not able to complete a tradition, dont worry, you can create your own! Websters Dictionary states that a tradition is a way of thinking, behaving, or doing something that has been used by the people in a particular group, family, society, etc., for a long time. Go out, see what other traditions you can find, and create your own.

As Apple Litigates, Galaxy S3 Overtakes iPhone!
As most know by now, Apple won a billion dollar settlement against Samsung week before last (Apple v. Samsung verdict). That billion dollars pales against potential Samsung flagship phone sales though. Apple’s problem is that it has shifted from trying to compete in the market to trying to compete in the courts. That is the mark of a company that has reached its peak. Don’t believe me? Check out the result of trying to induce legal restraints on raw market forces… Meanwhile, Galaxy sales go supernova – New York Post.
A survey of 32 Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T retailers in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego show that the Samsung Galaxy S3is easily outselling the iPhone 4S. 28 of the locations that were surveyed are saying that Samsung is the winner. This is based on sales from the past 10 days.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 is on its way to becoming the biggest Android headset yet. Not only has it received excellent reviews, but sales figures are staggering. Samsung is expected to announce another Android headset very soon.
Hopefully, you get the hint by now, because it’s apparent Apple’s management doesn’t. Less money legal fees, more money on R&D!!!
Most people don’t even get the endgame here. This is not going to be a battle between Apple and Samsung. Apple has already lost this by maximizing profits last year in milking the iPhone 4 franchise with the iterative, barely evolutionary iPhone 4S instead of coming out with a revolutionary iPhone 5. Yes, it made them he most profitable company in the world, but it sold their prospects to hold that title in the future to Samsung and Google. The real battle will be between those two companies – Samsung and Google. As Samsung both eliminates the threat of Apple through market while at the same time effectively narrowing the playing field by marginalizing the other Android players (even the good ones) such as HTC, it allows Google to take the gloves off its Motorola Mobility acquisition and truly get busy. You see, there will be no OEMs to anger because Samsung would have put them all out of business or sidelined them. An all out, R&D budget busting battle between Google and Samsung with Samsung innovating on the software side (ex. the S3) while Google innovates on the hardware and business model side (ex. the Nexus series) will be a boon for consumers. If you think the GS3 is a phenomenal device (and it is, try one out if you haven’t already), wait until Google opens up the spigots!!!

First China (Huludao Xincheng) International Swimsuit Festival will be held in northeastern China's coastal city of Huludao from August 16 to August 17, said its preparatory committee at the press conference in Beijing on Monday.
Bearing the notion of "Beauty leads the fashion; Dream lightens the life," this festival is to showcase the city's renowned swimsuit industry along with its trendy products.
China currently leads the world's swimwear industry. China makes more than 70 percent of all swimsuits in the world, in which Huludao's products account for 38.7 percent. This swimsuit festival features public participation, said Du Benwei, Acting Mayor of Huludao. "We will stage beach volleyball exhibition matches and mass bikini parades," he said. In addition, the municipal government is also looking to make the international swimsuit festival a lasting tradition to be held in August each year.
In developing the swimsuit industry, Huludao, the city that faces the Bohai Bay, is transforming itself from a sheer heavy industrial hub into a modern metropolis with various and complementary industries, such as tourism and transportation, blessed by its geographical location and cultural deposits.
In addition, Huludao is also the hometown of Yang Liwei, China's first man into the space.

Awesome sunrise out the gym door!
Coaches Thoughts:Today was a nice change with a few mini WOD’s all in one. According to Josh it was a surprisingly hard Saturday WOW! The classes this morning were busy and the energy and effort put forth by everyone was great! You all also proved that not only can you rock a really hard WOD but then go right into the 94 or 47 burpees that needed to be done today! Thanks to Val B for bringing Jim to join us today, Jim you did great. Also it was nice to have Ian from Canyon City drop in and join us as well! Solid effort, enjoy your rest day! Oh and thanks to Chris for bringing his dog Lola, I think I am a little closer to convincing Brandon that we need a gym puppy!
50+ complete as part of a WOD. 4 rounds of 50 seconds on, 10 seconds rest at three stations. Push presses at 65% of 1 rep max, burpee station and rest station rotating between teams of 3.
I was really good at the rest “station”.
50 Burps done. 5 sets of 10 First and last set alternate knees to elbows. Sore sore sore !!
Wow! That was a fun WOD today. The AMRAPs after the KBs and DLs were tough.
Great WOD today. The box jumps and DU’s after the deadlifts were rough! Did my 50 burpees after the WOD.
94 burpees done in random sets of how ever many i could do at a time before my arms decided i was done. That was a fun WOD today, I’m pretty sure i want to inflict severe pain on whoever was dumb enough to invent DUs. Talk about a mind job for me… This burpee challenge has really lit a fire under a lot of you, this is so awesome!
50 burpees completed tonight by the Griffiths followed by 100 situps. Bummed I missed such a killer WOD this morning!
Got my burpees in after brownies and birthday cake. Good WOD this morning.

Sorry – forgot to post last night. Love the picture!
47 – done. Pain, pain, pain! Sets of 5, throughout the day. 🙂 Feeling goooood!
Sounds like everyone is having fun! Great to see you all working together to get them done after the WOD! I think I am as sore as the rest of you. This was a tough week, but we will all be stronger for it! VERY PROUD of you all!!!!
PS. I like the martini burpees Susan! We should all wish ROB a Happy Birthday and David as well. Rob’s B-day was the 3rd, and good to know he was doing his burpees after cake and brownies!David’s B-day is today(he is afromeatball on here) is today! Looks like we have some b-day WOD’s coming next week!

The picturesque Victorian rowhouses at Alamo Square are among the most photographed buildings in San Francisco. The buildings give a good idea of what San Francisco looked like at the end of the nineteenth century.
In 1856, San Francisco mayor James Van Ness set aside nearly 13 acres (5 hectare) atop an area known as Alamo Hill, mandating that it be used as public open space. Because of its location, the park became known as Alamo Square.
However, most people come to see the Painted Ladies, also sometimes known as the Six Sisters. For Americans over forty, these magnificent Victorian homes are easily recognizable from the opening moments of the 1990s sitcom, Full House. For other visitors, however, they are simply recognized as exquisite homes painted in colorful hues, incredibly well-preserved and a joy to view. You can find the homes facing the park on Steiner Street. Don't forget your camera!
The brightly colored houses give a good idea of the architectural style that was predominant in San Francisco during the second half of the ninteenth century. Unfortunately most of these beautiful wooden houses were lost during the 1906 earthquake and subsequent fire but there are nonetheless still fifteen thousand Victorian houses remaining in San Francisco.
Of course, from the right vantage point in Alamo Square Park, you can also view some of the city's other famous sites, including the Golden Gate Bridge, the Oakland Bay Bridge, the Transamerica Pyramid, City Hall, and several other notable buildings and structures. The park also contains tennis courts and a playground and is quite popular with dog owners. You might even stumble upon some sort of doggie special event while you're visiting, such as a dog show.

Lately I have been having a tough time coming up with awesome posts for you guys, so I decided to open up guest posts to my sponsors to get some new things flowing around here.
Nothing is more awesome than someone opening their new shop!
and now I've found her!
So check out her shop and her blog and everything else because she is amazing!
Hey everyone! My name is Danielle and I blog over at Framed Frosting. I am so thrilled to be here today to share with you a new project I've been working on!
About Me: I first began my blog in April of last year as a way to document the end of my high school years. Now it has evolved to be about all things fashion and beauty related. I love to bake too and am hoping to include some more recipes on the blog soon along with some fun DIY projects too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So a few weeks ago, I had this fabulous idea to combine my love for baking and typography. It just so happened to work out that my blog name, Framed Frosting, worked well with the new shop. I've been working on quite a few designs lately and I LOVED how they all turned out. So it got me thinking... I wonder if I could open my own shop? I figured I'd give it a try first over at Society6. This website is fabulous because they do ALL of the printing and shipping for you! This means that I have a lot more time to spend designing.
In my shop you'll find me selling recipe art prints like my favorite, Best Ever Banana Muffins, seen below. These recipes are ones straight from my own kitchen and are sure to be quite delicious when you make them! Everything from Gingersnap Cookies to Cashew Brittle and so much more!
I'm also selling a few home decor prints. My mission is to create every piece unique and make sure it has a simple, yet sophisticated look. I'm currently having a lot of fun with summertime beach prints.
Toes in the Sand In the upcoming weeks, I'm hoping to launch my Storenvy shop where I'll be able to offer a lot more prints. I'll also be able to offer custom prints. These will be a little bit more expensive than a pre-made, but they will be much more personalized. You'll get to pick your quote or recipe and the colors you'd like me to use too. I plan on offering three sizes: 5x7s, 8x10s, and 11x14s.
If you're interested in your own custom print, please find me on Twitter or send me an e-mail. I'd be more than happy to work on something for you. Just let me know what you have in mind. You can also find me blogging about fashion and lifestyle here or on Facebook too.

I have written an example which should be useful. An jpg image is loaded from a resource file. It is converted to a pixmap. QPainter is used to draw a viewport of the image in a QFrame. The mouse wheel is used to vary the size of the viewport rectangle. This zooms the image in the frame. The pixmap can moved under the viewport by dragging with the wheel button (Qt::MidButton).
A second frame displays the entire image, and the viewport is represented in this second frame by an overlying red rectangle. This rectangle can be translated with the WASD keys or the arrow keys. The red rectangle can be dragged with the wheel button.
Signals and slots are used to communicate between the two frames. My coding usually is kind of clunky. For example, I call update() within paintEvent() to create a loop - this probably is not a good idea. The project is available on GitHub as Qt-Image_Zoom_Example at https://github.com/kendavistoo. I hope this helps somebody.

The H5N6 bird flu virus infected poultry birds at a market in Daunkeo.
The Bulgarian Food Safety Agency (BFSA) has registered a new outbreak of avian influenza (H5) in a duck farm in the village of Yoglav.
China reported an outbreak of a highly pathogenic strain of H5N1 bird flu at a farm in northeastern Liaoning province, Tuesday, April 2.
A team of veterinary doctors and experts culled more than 600 ducks and 66 chickens on March 31 following confirmation of bird flu (H5N1) in the city.
A bird flu scare continues to persist in Makawanpur after tests confirmed spread of H5N1 virus in the district. Authorities have destroyed more than 50,000 chickens, 9,015 eggs and 1,463 kilograms of bird feed.
China reported a highly pathogenic H7N9 outbreak in zoo birds, Nepal reported three more highly pathogenic H5N1 outbreaks, Iraq reported an event involving highly pathogenic H5N8, and Cambodia reported three outbreaks involving low-pathogenic H7N4.
As many as 399 districts across Việt Nam have been identified as high-risk areas for the outbreak of bird flu while another 314 districts are at low risk, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD).
The poultry sample from a sick flock in Willards, MD, was moments away from passing cleanly through a routine bird flu test in December.Then the data showed the presence of avian influenza. The result was in a category termed "non-negative" or "inconclusive." The case demonstrated a gap in bird flu response plans when it came to results that weren't conclusively positive or negative.
Bird flu has been detected in two poultry farms at Tarkeshwar Municipality in Kathmandu.

Falling crude prices have helped to strengthen the Dollar. Nymex Light Crude found support at $50/barrel, helped by an OPEC production cut, but the organization does not have the sway it once had. A test of $45/barrel is likely.
The Dollar Index closed above 97, signaling an advance to 100 in the medium-term (next quarter). Penetration of the descending trendline on the Trend Index would strengthen the signal.
Gold is likely to test support at $1180/ounce. Breach would warn of a decline to $1050/ounce (the 2015 low).
Silver is testing long-term support at $14/ounce. Breach would offer a target of $10 but would also warn of similar weakness for Gold.
The All Ordinaries Gold Index is consolidating between 4500 and 5500, buoyed by a weaker Australian Dollar. But Gold is more volatile than the Aussie Dollar and further weakness is expected. Bearish divergence on the Trend Index warns of selling pressure. Breach of 4500 would signal a primary decline.
The ASX 200 displays a cautious rally, with short candles reflecting an absence of buyer enthusiasm. But bullish divergence on 21-day Twiggs Money Flow indicates longer-term confidence.
The monthly chart shows similar rising troughs on 13-week Twiggs Money Flow, reflecting buyer confidence. Recovery above 6000 would be bullish, suggesting another advance. Respect of resistance is less likely, but would warn of another test of primary support at 5650.
The ASX 300 Banks Index respected primary support at 7000, while bullish divergence on 13-week Trend Index indicates buying pressure. Expect a bear rally to test resistance at 8000. The primary trend, however, is down.
The ASX 300 Metals & Mining Index is consolidating above 3400 but rising iron ore prices are likely to lift the index. Recovery above 3800 would signal another advance.
The All Ordinaries Gold Index again respected resistance at 5500 and another test of primary support at 4500 is likely. Breach would warn of a primary down-trend with a target of 3500.
I remain cautious on Australian banks and hold over 30% cash in the Australian Growth portfolio.
Nymex crude broke support at $65, warning of a primary down-trend with a medium-term target of $56/barrel.
Crude and gold tend to rise and fall together, over the long-term, and falling crude prices warn of gold weakness.
The bear rally in Gold is likely to meet stubborn resistance at $1250. Reversal below support at $1180 would offer a long-term target of the 2015 low at $1050/ounce.
Another major influence on Gold prices is Dollar strength. A strong Dollar is synonymous with lower gold prices. The Dollar Index is trending upwards but ran into resistance at 96.50/97.00.
The reason is not hard to find as China’s central bank (PBOC) stepped in to support the Yuan at 14.5 US cents (6.9 to $1), selling Dollar reserves.
The Aussie Dollar also strengthened as a result.
Australian Gold stocks continue to find support because of the weak currency (AUD) but a declining Trend Index warns of long-term weakness. Breach of support at 4500 would signal a primary down-trend.
China’s Yuan broke support at 14.50, warning of another decline.
A weaker Yuan is likely to lead to Dollar strength. The Dollar Index respected support at 94 and follow-through above 96 would confirm another advance.
A strengthening Dollar would weaken demand for Gold. Gold broke resistance at $1210/ounce, commencing a bear market rally. Expect resistance at $1250. Reversal below support at $1180 is unlikely at present but would warn of a decline to the 2015 low at $1050/ounce.
The Aussie Dollar is in a primary down-trend with descending Trend Index peaks below zero warning of strong selling pressure.
The combination of a gold bear rally and a weak Aussie Dollar prompted a rally among Australian gold miners. The All Ordinaries Gold Index (XGD) broke resistance at 4900 and is testing 5100. Ascending troughs on the Trend Index indicate buying pressure and a test of 5400 is likely.
Gold continues to find resistance at $1210/ounce. Trend Index peaks below zero warn of LT selling pressure but rising troughs suggest a secondary rally. Respect of resistance and the declining trendline would warn of another decline, offering a long-term target of the 2015 low at $1050/ounce.
The Dollar Index found support at 94. Follow-through above 96.50 would confirm another advance. A strengthening Dollar is likely to weaken demand for Gold.
The Aussie Dollar broke support at 71 US cents, prompting a weak rally among Australian gold miners. The All Ordinaries Gold Index (XGD) is ranging between 4550 and 4900. Gold is more volatile than the currency and likely to determine long-term direction. A Trend Index peak below zero would signal continuation of the down-trend.
Gold continues to find resistance at $1210/ounce. Trend Index peaks below zero warn of selling pressure. Respect of resistance would indicate another decline and a long-term target of the 2015 low at $1050/ounce.
The PBOC is supporting the Yuan at 14.5 US cents.
Support for the Yuan is driving down the Dollar. Dollar Index breach of support at 95 warns of a correction to test 91. Bearish divergence on the Trend Index warns of selling pressure. A falling Dollar is likely to boost demand for gold.
The Australian Dollar benefited from the weaker greenback, rallying to test resistance at 73/73.5 US cents. Trend Index peaks below zero continue to warn of long-term selling pressure. Respect of resistance is likely and would signal a test of the 2015/2016 low at 70 US cents.
Australian gold stocks rallied despite the strengthening Aussie Dollar. The All Ordinaries Gold Index (XGD) is likely to encounter stiff resistance between 4900 and 5100. A Trend Index peak below zero would warn of further selling pressure and continuation of the down-trend.
