I recently signed up for Pro. Mostly because of the Game Informer thing. They seem to be having coverage of games I want to hear about so I picked them up. But you won't get the most out of it unless you buy many used games or trade in games. Suikojin ^This. ![]() ![]() ![]() I signed up for it back when they had the BF3 Game Informer and I just let the guy talk me into it. The magazines have been good so far so it's been worth it there. The best way I've taking advantage of the points system so far was when they recently had that deal going on that if you pay off certain selected games by Oct. 19th you get double the points, so I paid off BF3 and AC: Revelations, and I'm not sure how far it'll jump me in points. Mine runs out in Feburary, and I'm not even close to getting anything good with my points so far, and I've purchased quite a few games this year. Yeah, it is worth it if you buy/trade games at Gamestop ever. The magazine is nice, you save 10% on used games, get more trade value, and there are ofter other special deals like mentioned. You also ear points for buying and trading games with opportuniites for bounus points. You can then spend the points in the rewards website to get different things like game mercandise (hats, t-shirts, figurines, posters, etc), xbox live/psn stuff (points, DLC, games), and coupons for $5/$10/$25 off used games or consoles. I usually use my points to get $5/$10 off when I plan to buy a used game. The items and coupons change and there is a good variety of low and high priced items really. Some of the stuff is pretty cool, but you'd have to save up points. Are you a gamer? If yes, then you’re probably familiar with the world’s largest video game retailer, GameStop. They have over 6,100 stores located throughout the United States and 17 countries. It’s said to be the retail destination for gamers around the world. From new and old video games, softwares, magazines, strategy guides, and everything else that is game related they have it. So it’s no wonder that a gamer like yourself would constantly find himself or herself purchasing from them. But if you really love buying, trading or making deals at GameStop that much, you should consider using their PowerUp Rewards Card, to use your purchases to gain points and avail from a number of rewards and exclusives. Oct 27, 2010. Last week, we learned that at least one Gamestop employee won't even sell to you unless you sign up for a rewards card. Lastly, when you go to activate on-line, you can't do anything until you answer a slew of questions, including your age range, number of people in your household, gaming. In joining the PowerUp Rewards program, you can have access to members-only specials, discounts, and invitations to events and sales. You may be given codes to unlock exclusive in-game accessories. You can even get to win restaurant and movie rewards depending on how much points you have earned. All of these, with a whole lot more of perks and benefits, are within your arm’s reach if you activate your card. If you don’t have one, you can sign-up at any participating GameStop shop and choose from the free PowerUp Rewards card or go Pro that costs $14.99. After getting hold of your card, you need to activate it by following the simple steps given below. You will need your card with you, of course, and your computer or any device that has access to the internet. • Go to • On the top right corner, click on “ Activate” • Activation of your card would require an account at GameStop.com. Sign in if you have one or create an account if you don’t. • Fill in the required field with your email address. Create your password.

Dental assistants perform clinical and administrative support functions within a dental office and are able to assume greater responsibilities with additional education and certifications. Dental assistants play a support role and perform general office duties within a private dental office or the dental department of healthcare facilities. The responsibilities of dental assistants are diverse as they become involved with direct patient care, laboratory testing, as well as routine clerical tasks. General Responsibilities of Dental Assistants:• Prepare patients for dental examination and arrange instruments. • Provide chair-side assistance to the dentist during examinations (e.g. Handing instruments to the dentist and using suction and other devices to keep the patient’s mouths dry) • Wash and sterilize or dispose of dental instruments and equipment after use. • Record patient dental history and create/update/maintain patient charts. • Educate patients with regard to proper oral hygiene and preventative dental care. • Prepare materials to fill cavities and make dental impressions. • Place dental dams to separate teeth for examination and/or x-rays. • May take and develop dental X-rays under the supervision of the dentist. As per the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners (SBDE), “You are permitted to make x-rays in Texas for one year from the first day of being hired as a dental assistant under the direct supervision of a dentist. During this first year of employment you will want to consider taking one of the Dental Board-approved courses listed below to continue making x-rays in your 2nd, 3rd and future years of service as a dental assistant.” • Administer topical anesthetics to gums in preparation for root canal and other procedures and remove post-surgery sutures.. • Administers cavity-preventative materials to teeth, and removes excess dental cement used to fill cavities. • Administrative responsibilities may include scheduling patients appointments, creating and sending patient bills to insurance carriers, receive and record payments, and order needed office and dental supplies.. • Dental assistants who are given laboratory duties make casts from dental impressions and create temporary crowns. • Many states are now registering dental assistants who are then provided with additional responsibilities, such as polishing teeth and restorative procedures cavity fillings or root canal.

As per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the rate of growth is expected to be 36 percent through 2018, a rate that is much faster than that for most other occupations. There are two primary factors for this rate of growth: 1) increase in population size with an accompanying increase in the demand for dental services so that dentists need to hire assistants to perform routine tasks; 2) greater emphasis on overall preventative health care, including dental care, by all age groups. According to the Commission on Dental Accreditation, there are no formal education requirements to become an entry-level dental assistant in any state and many dental assistants continue to be trained on-the-job. In these situations, the supervising dentist, dental hygienist, or senior dental assistant teach needed skills such as dental terminology, dental procedures, chairside assistance, recording patient histories, setting up patient charts, scheduling patient appointments and other office tasks. It may take a new dental assistant three to four months to become fully versed about job duties and able to work without constant supervision. If you are a high school student with an interest in becoming a dental assistant, it is recommended that you take courses in biology, chemistry, mathematics, computers, and psychology. For those wishing to pursue training in the field, of the American Dental Association accredits nearly 300 programs throughout the country. Most programs combine classroom study, laboratory work, and instruction in dental assisting practice and theory. Coursework will include fundamentals of dentistry, dental pharmacology, dental office procedures, dental anatomy and physiology, clinical dental procedures, and dental equipment. Programs within private vocational schools take about one year to complete and graduates will be awarded a certificate or diploma. Two year programs are offered in community and junior colleges and lead to an associate in science (A.S.) degree. Entry to either a certificate or associate’s program requires either a high school diploma or general equivalency diploma (GED). Even those who have graduated from accredited training programs will participate in some type of formal on-the-job training or have previous experience. This training is necessary because dentists have varying work styles, office procedures, and methods of patient relations. Because of continuing advances in technology, dental assistants will also need to be kept current with regard to new equipment, instruments, and procedures. According to the Texas Board of Dental Examiners there are three levels of dental assistants: “Qualified Dental Assistant” is a dental assistant who has received on-the-job training or instruction through a dental assisting school. There is no credential for this level of training or instruction. “Registered Dental Assistant” is a dental assistant who has successfully completed the state-level registration process with the SBDE (State board of Dental Examiners). Dental Assistants who successful register and have been issued a Dental Assistant Registration Certificate by the SBDE may use the credential “Registered Dental Assistant” or “RDA”. Is required for those dental assistants who wish to take and develop X-rays. “Certified Dental Assistant” is a dental assistant who meets the education and/or experience prerequisites established by the Dental Assistant National Board (DANB).

Dental Assistants who complete this process may use the credential “Certified Dental Assistant” or “CDA.” The designation Certified Dental assistant is required for those who wish to perform radiologic procedures Aside from higher salaries, certification will enable dental assistants to earn higher salaries and be eligible for such career advancement opportunities as a dental office manager, instructor in training programs, dental products sales representative, or claims processor/adjuster with health insurance carriers. Dental assistants may also return to school to become dental hygienists and be eligible for a much broader range of clinical patient care.

Ladies and Gentlemen – we have the answer to the question which has ben bugging the International Traveller: We have finally managed to crack the mystery of international roaming. From various sources including personal accounts and official Vodacom and MTN feedback I have compiled the following: Before we begin, the normal disclaimer applies – this is general information that may or may not apply to you. I take no responsibility whatsoever and suggest you verify anything you do with your Service Provider. ![]() Don’t call me if things go wrong!!! UPDATE: SMS whilst overseas: From both Vodacom and MTN users there is a facility that allows you to send and receive SMS only when overseas. With this facility, all other services are cancelled and all calls go direct to Voicemail – only SMS will come through to your cell phone. Note: The service can only be activated while you are still in South Africa. If you are with Vodacom: To activate: SMS ‘ROAMON’ to 123 If you are with MTN: Dial *111*14# Blackberry Messenger (BBM) whilst overseas + Blackberry Email: One of Blackberry’s key features is of course BBM – this makes keeping in touch a pleasure but also very expensive if you do it wrong as Data charges can be up to R150 per Megabyte! Thankfully the clever people at Blackberry have allowed the usage of BBM and Email via the phone’s WiFi facility. ![]() ![]() So in order to get BBM to work regardless of which cellular network you use, the steps are the same. Make sure before you leave South Africa that you DO NOT have International Roaming enabled on your contract. Suggest when you call the Customer Service to disable this that you make a note of the date, time and person you spoke to. Ask for a reference number too. This is a just-in-case you need to use it to defend an insane bill when you get home. When you get to your overseas destination, find a Wi-Fi zone and connect to it. Cellphone roaming rates explained. Look at Cell C’s R1.87/min rate in the. Family and colleagues that you’ll be away and ask them to rather SMS. Mobile Number Portability - Change to Cell C By. If you activate your new Cell C SIM card before following the steps. International Roaming - Cell C South Africa. You might need to put in a password (follow the instructions as if you were connecting with your laptop) 3. Once connected, do the following: • Click on Manage Connection > • Click on Mobile Network Options > • Make sure that Data Services: ON > • Make sure that Whilst roaming: OFF. It can take Blackberry a little while to logon and authenticate on the WiFi network. So don’t panic if the BBM don’t instantly flood in. To test your connection and see if the WiFi is working: click on the Browser on your phone and make sure you can browse the internet. If you can, then it means that your WiFi is working and your BBM and Emails should also start to work now. If you can not surf the internet, it means that the WiFi isn’t working and you need to get someone to help you get connected. Once you have connected to the Internet view WiFi, other applications such as WhatsApp, Gtalk etc. Should also work. Finally, don’t forget to take your charger and a local country adapter or else you will be highly irritate spending valuable holiday time going shop to shop to buy a ridiculously expensive charger you don’t need! (been there) Important info links:: By the way: As an added bonus with MTN – you can use iMail to listen to your voicemail from the website: iMail (Not available at the moment for PAYG and TopUp customers). You can go to www.mtn.co.za and register on the website. Once done while on the website go through the following links: MTN Services/ My MTN/ iMail. Once you are registered for MTN iMail you can log in at any time and listen to your messages on the internet instead of on your phone! Here is a scenario on how it could work: Before Jo left for India he diverted all his calls to go directly to voicemail. This means that Jo cannot receive any calls while he is overseas. Knowing that he must have many voicemail messages he logs onto www.mtn.co.za from the computer in his hotel room. He logs into iMail and listens to his messages by simply clicking on them. I NEED HELP!! >Facts: I’m South African I live in Denmark I have a prepaid Vodacom sim card, which of the roaming is activated. Yesterday I received a package, A Blackberry Bold 9780. The phone was bought in South Africa at Vodacom, and shipped to me. I tried to activate BIS by doing the *111# thing buying the BB bundle. I received a SMS from vodacom saying that BB sevice is active and that i should turn off the device, remove the battery and insert it again to insure i receive all my service books, and i have them now. My Host Routing table is still empty. And when I say: register now, it says: Registration message queued. It will be sent once data coverage is available. When I try to use the Facebook or Twitter apps, it says: You are currently on a service plan that does not support this application. If you want to use this application; please contact your service provider to upgrade your data plan: I have a Wi Fi connection available here, and I can use it on my BB for the internet and Whatsapp. I just want BBM and the BB app world to work. I need it to work. I can’t use the phone to call anyone if I try to call, it just disconnects. Even Vodacom Customer Care. Can anyone help? Unfortunately NOPE. Once you remove the original SIM card that has all the Blackberry services on it – there is no way to add them back manually. What you can try do is put your old SIM back in, enable international roaming on it, and ask them to resend you the service books. Not sure this is even possible I am not sure as you are out of the country already. IF it does work, then after you receive the service books and Blackberry services start to work, then select the option to switch off data whilst international roaming is on and only connect via the WiFi. ![]() Whether you lose your old phone, buy an upgrade, or purchase a new phone, it’s easy to active a Verizon phone.
