Columcille Offers Guided Tours Second Saturdays
The tour will start at 10:00am with an orientation talk in the standing stone circle by Irish historian and storyteller Tom Egan who will explain the park's mission and the origins of European standing stone monuments. Tom will also give details on the origins and extent of the European Celtic culture with a short explanation about the gods and goddesses of ancient Celtic Mythology. Included is an explanation of who Columcille was in the context of early Irish history and an explanation of how the park's founder Bill Cohea became inspired to create the beautiful place we will be touring.
The tour will then begin. Stops along the tour will include St. Columba's Chapel, St Oran's Chapel, Signal Hill, Thor's Gate, the Labyrinth, Temple of the Glen and the Cauldron stone. Plus the Fairy Ring, the Sacred Mens's site, Celtic eye, the Sacred Women's site, Manannan's Stone and the Sirius Stone.
At each stop along the tour the special meaning of that place will be discussed, particularly as the place relates to the topics that were covered in the initial orientation talk. These discussions at the sites along the way typically vary considerably in content and depth to keep them responsive to the varied interests of individuals taking each tour.
The tours will end at the Voyagers Lounge around noon, where those on the tour are invited to sign the guest book and examine the publications, crystals and other material related to the park that are available there.
If you would like additional information you may contact Tom Egan directly on 610-360-1701.
There is no charge for the tour but freewill donations are gladly accepted.

White Shark Video Bombed
MOSSEL BAY, South Africa, July 9 (UPI) -- A great white shark getting its close-up while feeding on bait off the coast of South Africa was upstaged by a comrade leaping out of the water behind it.
Remo Sabatini, who posted his footage to YouTube, was filming from a boat Monday off South Africa's Mossel Bay when he captured a close-up video of a great white shark feeding on bait hanging from a rope off the side of the vessel.
The snacking shark seems sure to end up as the most interesting subject in the video, until a second great white shark pulls off a show-stealing videobomb by breaching the surface in the near background and leaping into the air in a flawless Free Willyimitation.
The first shark finishes his meal shortly after his comrade's upstaging stunt and both predators then swim away from the boat and its stunned passengers.

BATHING ....
Important Information About Your Shower
(BPT) - You use it to get clean, refresh, relax or get invigorated, but how much do you really know about your shower? Did you know that the average shower lasts eight minutes in America, or that the shower is the third largest source of water use in the average American home? With conserving water and saving money and time becoming increasingly important to many people, here are the five most important things you should know about your shower:
1. Not all showerheads are created equal. Different showerheads emit water at different rates, and that “flow rate” affects how efficient a showerhead is – or isn’t. Federal law limits the maximum allowable flow rate to 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm) for showerheads, but some have even lower flow rates. The less water that comes out of the showerhead per minute, the less water that will get wasted down the drain. If your showerhead pre-dates 1980, it could be using more than 5 gpm. Replacing a less efficient showerhead with one that has a lower flow rate, like GROHE showerheads and hand showers with EcoJoy technology, can save water and money – without sacrificing your shower experience.
2. You can renovate a shower without tearing through the wall. Updating a shower can improve its efficiency and your shower experience, yet the potential need to open a bathroom wall may make you hesitate. Shower renovation, however, doesn’t have to require major re-plumbing. The GROHE Retro-Fit Shower System can be installed in less than an hour, it connects to your existing plumbing system without breaking the tile wall, and comes standard with a hand shower as well as a traditional showerhead. With three recently introduced models, the system makes it easy to renovate a shower and update a bathroom, even if you’re a renter who wants a quick and easy upgrade.
3. Thermostatic valves provide a customized, consistent shower. How much water goes down the shower drain while you’re waiting for the temperature to reach a comfortable level? Adding a shower with a thermostatic valve not only ensures you’ll never again step into an icy shower stream or be surprised by a temperature fluctuation, it can also reduce the amount of water you use. If you’re planning a bathroom renovation, a professional can easily install a thermostatic valve that will ensure water reaches the desired temperature sooner and stays at the temperature throughout your shower.
4. Showers are growing. Bigger seems to be better when it comes to showers, and studies show that many people are significantly expanding the size of their showers during renovations. Larger showers are ideal paces for relaxation and rejuvenation, and walk-in showers with oversize panes of glass, multiple water sources and oversize rain showers are becoming increasingly popular. Smart controls for controlling water patterns and flow volume enhance the experience.
5. Conserving water in the shower is good for your wallet and your soul. Water costs can vary widely depending on where you live in the country. No matter where you live, however, reducing the amount of water you use will decrease both your water bill and your utility bill (electric or gas, depending on which fuels your water heater). To calculate how much you could save, you first need to get a better idea of how much water you use. The USGS Water Science School offers a great online water use calculator. Once you know how much water you use, you can take steps to reduce consumption, including:
* Installing more efficient showerheads.
* Reducing shower time to about 5 minutes.
* Using technology such as thermostatic valves and digital controls to shower more efficiently.
Using less water is good for the environment, so you can feel positively about your water conservation efforts, all without losing any enjoyment of your shower experience. To learn more about more efficient and enjoyable showering, visit www.grohe.com.

Since 1970, The New Approach has donated over $250,000 for cancer research and treatment. The New Approach Show is comprised of volunteers of all ages who use their talents to serve others.

Columcille Offers Guided Tours Second Saturdays
The tour will start at 10:00am with an orientation talk in the standing stone circle by Irish historian and storyteller Tom Egan who will explain the park's mission and the origins of European standing stone monuments. Tom will also give details on the origins and extent of the European Celtic culture with a short explanation about the gods and goddesses of ancient Celtic Mythology. Included is an explanation of who Columcille was in the context of early Irish history and an explanation of how the park's founder Bill Cohea became inspired to create the beautiful place we will be touring.
The tour will then begin. Stops along the tour will include St. Columba's Chapel, St Oran's Chapel, Signal Hill, Thor's Gate, the Labyrinth, Temple of the Glen and the Cauldron stone. Plus the Fairy Ring, the Sacred Mens's site, Celtic eye, the Sacred Women's site, Manannan's Stone and the Sirius Stone. At each stop along the tour the special meaning of that place will be discussed, particularly as the place relates to the topics that were covered in the initial orientation talk. These discussions at the sites along the way typically vary considerably in content and depth to keep them responsive to the varied interests of individuals taking each tour. The tours will end at the Voyagers Lounge around noon, where those on the tour are invited to sign the guest book and examine the publications, crystals and other material related to the park that are available there. If you would like additional information you may contact Tom Egan directly on 610-360-1701. There is no charge for the tour but freewill donations are gladly accepted.

Ask The Doc........
Technology can be wonderful!
by Dr. Gary Williams, DMD

I know sometimes new technologies can be frustrating and leave us questioning whether “progress” is worth the hassle. But, that is not the case with intra-oral digital scanners. We have been using our digital scanner at Family Dental Care now for 3 months, and the results are amazing.
Sure, it’s pretty “cool” technology, and it has been totally comfortable for patients. No gagging going on! And the turn around time is much shorter. All of these are pluses, but here is the real benefit… the accuracy and fit of what we are making.
I can comfortably predict a great fit of your new crowns, splints, Invisalign aligners, retainers, and anything else we scan for. That makes it worthwhile.
It’s one thing to restore your mouth to health, but I want, you want, and you deserve to rest assured that what is placed in your mouth is the best possible fit known to dentistry.
Digital scanning is here to stay at Family Dental Care. Feel free to ask us about our scanner. Garywilliamsdmd.com.
