Oral surgery is the set of surgical interventions in the mouth. One of the most frequent is applied to extract wisdom teeth, which is indicated mainly when in pain. Surgery to remove wisdom teeth is also recommended if there is infection, cyst or no space for all the teeth in the jaw. Other interventions for oral surgery are complex tooth extractions extirpation of jaw cysts, biopsies, removal of tooth roots within the bone, or implant surgery and prosthetics braces, recommended for children who have limited mobility lips and tongue be too large because the membrane holding the tongue at the bottom.

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the one that allows people to open and close the mouth to chew, chew, speaking, breathing, yawning or gesture. This joint connects the bones of the skull and face is twofold, ie, one on each side of the head. Performs three types of movement up and down, forward, backward and both sides. The dental malocclusion, orthodontic appliances, stress and bad habits such as clenching or bite objects can alter the function of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which occurs when the opening and closing of the mouth is made with lateral deviations. This syndrome can cause pain in the jaw, ears, head, neck, back, plus trouble chewing. TMJ Treatment is aimed at addressing the causes that have caused the disorder and improve symptoms, and may include physical therapy, exercise, medication, relaxation techniques, mouth guards and surgery, although it is rare.

The dental splint is a device created by a dentist covering teeth to keep them from moving or rubbing, among other finaliades as:
Splint whitening: Teeth whitening
Orthodontic splint: prevents tooth movement after use of apparatus
Periodontal splint: prevent teeth from moving after periodontal treatment.
Bite splint: to change the patient's occlusion or bruxism
The dental bone graft is performed in the area Ondontología to increase or preserve bone lacks the amount of bone that is in the area where you want to place a fixed tooth. It is not always necessary to perform a bone graft but in some cases it is essential especially if it is necessary to raise the maxillary sinus, if there is little bone defect or if it has that make it impossible to implant placement.
Cleft palate, also known as cleft palate is a congenital deformity of the mouth caused by an abnormality in the first months of fetal development. It is an incomplete development of the palate, that can be opened to such a large degree that it extends even to the nasal cavity. This open space between mouth and nose can affect both sides of the palate and, in more serious cases, spread to the throat. Therefore, depending on the case, cleft palate can cause difficulties for the patient if you do not operate in the first months of life and throat infections, delayed language and speech, functional difficulty eating and breathing. Generally, the surgical correction of cleft palate is usually performed before 18 months of age to prevent further complications and restore both physical appearance of the patient and the development of his mouth and palate.
A dental implant is an artificial fixing piece in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. To implement it, the dentist should stick a titanium screw into the jawbone, on which after a prosthetic crown (artificial tooth) is placed. This surgery can be classified into various types, according to the phases in which it is carried out: immediate dental implants, when the implant is placed immediately after tooth extraction to shortening the rehabilitation time and avoiding a second surgery; Recent dental implants, when between extraction and implant elapse between six and eight weeks; delayed implantation, when the dentist makes a regeneration of bone first, then wait for the implant about six months; and mature dental implants, if it has been more than nine months between the two phases. ...
Maintenance of dental implants is the whole duty of care follow a patient who has placed him prosthesis on dental implants. Maintenance of dental implants begins the day the placement of the final prosthesis, by a test to monitor that there is a perfect balance between the teeth of the upper and lower jaw for the implants are not forced by certain movements of the mouth . New teeth but do not suffer from gum decay itself could be infected by the accumulation of plaque and tartar. Therefore, the patient should brush your teeth two to three times a day, flossing, rinsing the mouth with antibacterial liquid, undergo periodic reviews and professional cleanings, and avoid smoking.
Zygomatic implants are those placed in the zygomatic bone, a short and small bone on the cheek, and those patients are recommended oo mouths with little bone without the presence of bone in the upper jaw. ...
The dental malocclusion is the misalignment of teeth (bite), ie the upper teeth do not fit properly with the lower, and usually hereditary. The patient has a size difference between jaws or between jaw and tooth. Other factors that may cause malocclusion are loss of teeth, thumb sucking or pacifier use. The main symptoms are causing deviant teeth, crowded or protruding, and cause trouble eating and speaking. Treatment of dental malocclusion involves the use of fixed or removable appliances to correct the alignment of the teeth and jaw position. In children and adolescents the extraction of some teeth may also be needed to make room for those who have yet to grow. Children's dental malocclusion is easier to correct than the adult because bone growth is still under development. By using such apparatus straighten teeth and the jaw moves. But in adulthood you can align teeth through orthodontics, but the position of the jaws can be changed only with orthognathic surgery. ...
The dental reconstruction consists of the replacement or repair of teeth, bones or tissue. This treatment is indicated for both the problems of damaged and worn to treat TMJ syndrome (a disorder of the jaw joint that causes headache and neck and sometimes a snap chewing) teeth. In some cases where tooth decay is severe we proceed to full mouth reconstruction and cosmetic techniques for it and combine neuromuscular dentistry. Besides, orthodontics can be used to correct the misalignment of teeth and address, then the dental restoration with porcelain veneers, dental crowns, bridges, implants and inlays. ...
Facial implants are used in surgery to improve both the proportion and harmony to correct facial disfigurements and congenital malformations, or to rehabilitate or replace structures and parts of his face disfigured by trauma, injuries or accidents. Specifically, the implants used in craniofacial and maxillofacial reconstructive surgery are inserted into the area required for applications such as: straighten the structure or jaw line, which can also lead to problems of mastication; improve bone anchor, for example to advance the chin or cheekbones; provide more harmony to the area of the cheeks; replace part of the disfigured face, etc. Depending on the objective to be reached with facial implants and complexity of the case, the combination of implants and dentures may be needed to rebuild the affected area.
Facial paralysis is a disease which causes partial or complete motor paralysis of the facial nerve and, therefore, of the facial muscles. The symptoms of this disease are unable to perform certain movements such as smiling, twinkling eye full, raised eyebrows, etc. This condition can be caused by various conditions or factors: tumors, trauma, acute and chronic ear infections, congenital disorders (Moebius syndrome) and, mostly, for unknown reasons. In the latter case, it is called Bell's palsy or facial palsy, the treatment should be started immediately after his appearance to make the recovery more quickly and effectively and prevent the sequelae of facial paralysis. Usually, corticosteroids are given to slow the progressive deterioration of the nerve and facial muscle massage. In severe cases, specific surgical treatments are also practiced by both static and dynamic techniques to restore movement and function of muscles.
Microsurgical facial reconstruction surgery encompasses various techniques applied both in the treatment of congenital diseases as acquired diseases or sequelae of trauma that caused the loss of part of the structure of the face or functionality. Among congenital conditions that can be solved, are remarkable different kinds of facial paralysis and atrophy, which prevents adequate mobility of muscles and structures of the jaw and / or the eyes and the facial expression (for example, Syndrome Parry-Romberg, the Moebius, or Binder, among others). Microsurgery facial handles replace affected facial areas and recover both its appearance and injuries that hinder their functionality through tissue transplants individualized, muscle and nerve grafts techniques. Currently, advanced microscopic techniques transplant tissues from the same patient allow rebuilding successfully face even involve great complexity, given the nature of this area of the human anatomy. Therefore, depending on each case staged several operations may be necessary to achieve completely solve the patient's pathology.
Immediately loaded implants are those in which the dental implant (screw that replaces the tooth root) and a temporary prosthesis in one intervention is placed. This technique promotes healing of bone tissue and integration of bone implants. This removes the need for fixed period without teeth, with consequent aesthetic and functional advantages, because not go prostheses supported on the gums, discomfort, so that the patient can smile and eat from the outset are reduced. The temporary dental prosthesis is removed when elapsed between three and six months after implant placement. Instead, the dentist will place the final piece that has been made so that it is integrated with the rest of the patient's teeth. The intervention is performed under local anesthesia. ...
The teeth included are those who keep erupting in the mouth, ie, remaining inside the bone part or in full. Usually it refers to wisdom teeth, also called third molars, which are between 17 and 25 years old. Its appearance can cause severe discomfort and infection, so in most cases surgery is required. Wisdom teeth are easier to remove when the patient is young, because their roots are not fully formed and there is less risk of damage to nerves or other nearby structures. No need to wait for the wisdom teeth are troublesome to carry out extraction, since their early exit promotes better results. The operation is performed under local anesthesia, intravenous sedation or general anesthesia, as recommended by the oral or maxillofacial surgeon.
Cleft lip is a congenital deformation caused by a very specific abnormality in the baby's development by an incomplete formation of the upper lip occurs. Currently, this slot can be operated even in the first year of a baby's life to prevent further complications since in some cases the degree of separation or cut lip can be severe, reaching the nose. Some of the problems that can cause cleft lip is difficulty feeding, dental malformations or delayed speech. Besides, some babies are born with other abnormalities, cleft palate call (or palate), which consists of an incomplete development of the palate, to not be closed leaving an open space between mouth and nose, which as the case may be more or lower amplitude. This anomaly also requires specialized plastic surgery in the first months of a baby's life to troubleshoot speech and functional causes (difficulty eating and breathing, especially), in addition to improving the aesthetics.
Mentoplasty or chin surgery, is a surgical procedure that aims to change the size of the chin to achieve a more proportioned and handsome face, facial asymmetry correcting congenital or caused by an accident. Depending on the purpose of the intervention, the most appropriate technique for each patient applies. If required correct the shape of the chin or give a more defined and toned look, implantation of a prosthetic chin, infiltration of fat tissue from the patient, or the advancement of a portion of the jaw bone is used. If the deformity is very accentuated chin will be necessary to make a sanding or a section of bone (osteotomy) through an incision inside the mouth.
Orthognathic surgery is surgery to correct the position of the maxilla and mandible. The objective of this procedure is to get a good fit of these two bones to improve jaw function and aesthetics of the face. This surgery is indicated for patients with dental malocclusion that can not be treated only with orthodontics. The types of corrective surgery are: mandibular advancement, when the lower teeth and chin are lagging behind the rest of the face; closing the open bite, when the upper and lower teeth do not contact to shut up and leave a space; and jaw asymmetry, when the chin and teeth deviate sideways. To find out which treatment is most appropriate, a study is carried out in three dimensions with x rays. The images allow to know what area should be operated and perform process simulation. Before the intervention, the individual must bear fixtures for a while so that the teeth fit together when the jaws have been put in place with the intervention. ...
Periodontal surgery is the technique used to treat mouth tissues affected by periodontal disease or pyorrhea, a chronic bacterial infection that attacks the gums, ligament and bone surrounding the teeth. Periodontal surgery allows the dentist to clean contaminated tissues, smooth surfaces of the tooth roots and remove damaged bags infection. Periodontal surgery can replace or rebuild damaged structures using similar materials to transplant the bone and gum tissue lost. In this way, you can get your gums back to stick to the base of the teeth. Surgery should be accompanied by a periodontal maintenance after as an adjunct. ...
The implant prosthesis are implant prosthesis, that is, prostheses are fastened in dental implants. Implantosoportda to wear a prosthesis, the patient must undergo prior to surgery. This type of prosthesis can be fixed or removable. ...
Wisdom tooth is the name by which he is commonly known to the third molar. This ridge usually appears between 16 and 25 years old. Wisdom teeth appear at the back of the mouth. There may be up to four chordal, one for each quadrant mouth. Wisdom teeth usually affect other teeth to grow, pushing and causing severe pain. When this occurs we proceed to the extraction of teeth, it is currently the only remedy for toothache. ...

Daliyat el-Carmel is a Druze village high on the slopes of Mt. Carmel and has an exceptionally unique character. It is a colorful village that offers wonderful hospitality with a smile and is also very interesting. The Druze is an ethnic group that split off from Islam in Egypt about 1,000 years ago. According to the Druze, their religion is the renewal of an ancient faith that became a secret known only to the group's sages. Daliyat el-Carmel was founded in the 17th century by Druze from Mt. Lebanon. To the south of Daliyat el-Carmel is another Druze village, Isfiya, which was united with Daliyat el-Carmel in 2003 into a single town whose official name is Carmel.Daliyat el-Carmel's colorful market, open on Saturdays, is only an excuse to come to this special place. On the main street dozens of stores offer their varied wares and one can get lost in the abundance and variety. Between the stores are many restaurants serving genuine Druze ethnic foods, bakeries that fill the air with the sweet smell of baklava pastries. Other food stands sell high quality olive oil, olives, pita bread and locally produced labaneh cheese. The flurry of activity, the colors, the new beside the old, and the village bustling with people are a multi-sensational experience not to be missed. The market also has a few galleries where cultural evenings can be held, alongside the Druze hospitality.Apart from Daliyat el-Carmel's main street, with its tourist center, on 22nd Street there is the house of Sir Laurence Oliphant, an Englishman who loved the Holy Land and moved here in 1880 to help the Jews during the period of the First Aliya wave of immigration. Today his house serves as a military memorial to village residents who served in the Israel Defense Forces and gave their lives for their country. The front courtyard of the house is a plaza that overlooks the slopes of the Carmel hills.The Druze heritage house is on 8th Street houses an exhibit about the Druze lifestyle. One can also just wander around the village to no specific place; walk through the narrow passageways that wend their way between old houses, prayer halls and holy sites, beside olive oil presses, textile workshops and art galleries.
In recent years the villagers have begun hosting groups in their homes, and such a visit offers a glimpse of their houses, culture and tradition. The local residents offer tourists and genuine ethnic foods, wear their traditional clothes, tell stories about the Druze heritage and there are even guest houses designed with an authentic Druze décor.There are excellent places for nature hikes all over the Carmel, and the Mukhraka and Carmelite monastery are sites highly recommended for their beautiful views.

Alternate name:Teacherbird
Migration Info The spring migration of this species occurs as two separate movements. Eastern birds follow the Atlantic flyway, and all breeders from west of the Appalachians move up the Mississippi flyway. Although the Ovenbird prefers dense vegetation during migratory stopovers, the males (who precede the females by 5 to 7 days) tend to sing quite vigorously during migration, so their passage is easily noted. During winter, Ovenbirds are found in a variety of habitats including secondary forests and shade-grown coffee plantations.

Badger Volleyball: Junior Courtney Thomas overcomes tragedy
The Badger Volleyball team is off to a great start under new head coach Kelly Sheffield. UW is 11-1 and starts Big Ten play Friday at home against Purdue.
Outside hitter Courtney Thomas has battled an abdominal injury this fall but dealing with adversity on the court is nothing compared to the tragedy she has overcome to live her dream of playing college volleyball.
Courtney Thomas' childhood was filled with sports and it started with her dad.
"Since he got me into sports, I was close to him," said the 20-year-old.
The first 13 years of the Delklab, Ill. native's life were good. She made happy memories with her mom, dad and younger brother, but that all changed in June of 2006.
Thomas' dad, Jaceson Thomas, a construction worker, was killed in a tragic construction accident while he was trying to help a co-worker whose truck was stuck in the mud.
Thomas remembers seeing her mom sitting outside. "I said to her 'he is gone' and she is like 'yeah.'" My grandma would stay with us and my brother and I would sleep in my mom's bed," said Thomas.
Courtney was at a cross roads, she had just started playing elite competitive club volleyball however, she was facing adversity no 13 -year-old should have to. But with family support she returned to the court.
"I don't know where I would be if I didn't have sports, really happy that I chose the path I did," said Thomas.
Thomas went on to earn a Division 1 volleyball scholarship and chose Wisconsin in part because it was close to home so her mom could watch her play.
"When he passed away my mom had to take on that role and she had to take me to practice an hour away. My mom is my rock. She has done everything for me to be here. I am sad, but I have to go on with my life, time doesn't stop. So I think since my dad was so into sports, me living out his passion only helps me think of him," said Thomas.
Thomas can't change her past, but the family studies and human development major plans help to honor her dad in the the future.
"He was such a helper, all he wanted (was to) help people. He died because he was helping someone else. I want to be able to help someone and make a difference in their life because my dad was making a difference in other people's (lives) too," said Thomas.

On 21 October 1823 Constable wrote to his wife Maria telling her of his arrival at Coleorton Hall, Leicestershire, where he stayed with Sir George Beaumont for several weeks: 'O dear this is a lovely place indeed … such grounds – such trees – such distances – rock and water – all as it were can be done from the various windows of the house' (Beckett II, p. 290).
In this drawing Constable depicted the stone in the woods of Coleorton that Beaumont had dedicated to the landscape painter, Richard Wilson (1714–1782), and inscribed 'Brought here 6 Jan 1818'. The memorial reflected Beaumont's admiration for Wilson, who had been his teacher. It was a fitting memorial for an artist who placed large boulders such as this in the foregrounds of his landscapes. In making this drawing Constable linked Beaumont and Wilson, and also recorded his admiration for Wilson's work.
Constable later observed in one of his lectures on art:
To Wilson, who was ten years the senior of Reynolds, may justly be given the praise of opening the way to the genuine principles of Landscape in England; he appeared at a time when this art, not only here, but on the Continent, was altogether in the hands of the mannerists … He looked at nature entirely for himself, and remaining free from any tincture of the styles that prevailed among the living artists, both abroad and at home, he was almost wholly excluded from any share of the patronage which was liberally bestowed on his contemporaries (Beckett, Discourses, pp. 66–67).

Last night my son and I settled in and watched a football game that I would probably not otherwise watch. But it was Tuesday and it was the only Football game on.. so being the football fans that we are, we watched the Temple Owls play the Ohio Bobcats in a pretty ugly game.
Temple was behind for three quarters, they played hard, but seemed to not be able to move the ball. Ohio on the other hand scored 10 points real quick, but that was about it for their offense. They moved up and down the field ok, but could not punch it in.
Both teams played their collective hearts out… to use the cliche, they left it all on the field.
What killed them was penalties and bad decisions. They would move the ball 15 yards, then get a 10 yard penalty. They would throw a long pass, then get a 15 yard personal foul.
Every time they moved forward, they were sent back.
1 step forward…2 steps back.
If you have ever tried to move across a room taking 1 step forward and 2 steps back, you will soon come to realize that you are not getting anywhere… fast.
As we watch our Patrols develop, we often see them going through this 1 step forward mode. They call it Storming in the stages of team development. It usually results in the team getting frustrated and conflicts begin. It is ok to be in the storming mode for awhile, but it is the test of the team, or Patrol, to get out of it… to move forward.
It takes the team leader, or Patrol leader to recognize that they are getting nowhere and rally his Patrol, motivate them, to move in the direction they need to go. Leaders understand the purpose and direction of the unit and strive to get there, even if it means conflict along the way.
Storming is a normal part of the team development process. The Patrols need to be coached through it and allowed to make the mistakes it takes to learn so they can move forward.
Patrols are no different than a football team, they all go through development on their way to being a high performance team. In the end it is a great thing to see and everyone enjoys the taste of success.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

More talk about teamwork… or Trustworthy, Loyal and Helpful.
This weekend, much to my wife's surprise, I woke up in the same bed as her.. a weekend free of Scouting activity. The first of its kind in about a month.
But like most of us, when we are not Scouting, there is Football, Soccer, Band and other activities that occupy our time.
For us September and October brings the falling of leaves, chilly mornings and Football.
Last night we went to our high school football game, our daughter is in the band and did her part to provide some motivation to her team.. as much as a clarinet can. Our youngest son is the starting quarterback for his Middle School team, so a night watching the High School team is a great opportunity to learn and pick up a few tips.
Last night the Reynolds Raiders did not do to well, they were blown out, but what we did get to see was a team. They played together in a loosing effort, they showed good team work. They showed that they all had the same goal, and while they could not achieve it, they did not stop trying till the last whistle blew. They were loyal to each other, everyone doing their job on the field, and the guys on the bench doing their part staying ready to go in if needed.
Josh, my youngest watched as they could not seem to punch the ball over the goal line, but he watched the details, the line pulling together, the QB keeping his head and leading the team, the receivers running the right patterns and the running backs giving everything they had for inches.
He saw determination and teamwork.
Even in a loss, the team became more important than the win. We could see it because they never gave up. Even when it was easy to call it quits and not give it all, the team remembered that it was bigger than the individual. Trustworthy, Loyal, and Helpful. The Team!
Have a Great Scouting Day!

As I'm sure most other posters here are, I'm a turkey hunting addict. I think it would be exceptionally cool to get paid to turkey hunt and get to go to many different locations to hunt the different species. Even if I never get to hunt anything but Easterns, that's fine with me, but I would certainly love to try the birds in other parts of the country. From my days of guiding bass fishing, I know that it is not always loads of fun when a hobby becomes a job, but turkey season is nowhere near as long as fishing season can be. I already grind out as much time in the woods as possible while holding down a busy work schedule. I'm pretty drag-@$$ by the end of the season because I go at it so hard.
I'm not a good enough caller to make anybody's Pro Staff, even though I practice year-round. I have a lot of experience turkey hunting (mostly learning from making mistakes) and went through the school of hard knocks to get where I am today. I'm certainly no expert, but I'm a long ways from a beginner.
It seems to me that a lot of turkey hunters are about as good as the places they have to hunt. Lots of unpressured birds = better success ratio. While that's not always true, it seems that way most of the time.
Just curious on your take on the subject. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

Kelly's Ford
March 17, 1863
Culpeper County, Virginia
On March 16 Union cavalry officer William Averell set out to "rout or destroy" Fitzhugh Lee and his cavalry command as they sheltered south of the Rappahannock River near Culpeper Courthouse. He took with him some 3,100 troopers, telling them to sharpen their sabers and expect to win. On March 17 Averell forced a crossing at Kelly's Ford and then repulsed several of Lee's counterattacks, forcing the Confederate cavalry back several miles. Confederate artillerist John Pelham was killed. But, with complete victory in his grasp, Averell lost his nerve and withdrew to Union territory that evening. Fitzhugh Lee avoided being crushed, which meant that Averell had failed in his primary objective, but the battle proved that Joe Hooker's reorganized and refitted Union cavalry was a force to be reckoned with.

I found the first wave of Class I vehicles in the Darth Maul packaging - Sith Speeder with Darth Maul, Naboo Royal Fighter with Obi-Wan Kenobi, STAP with Battle Droid, and BARC Speeder with Clone Trooper. They were $16.97 at Walmart and the two I bought (STAP and BARC Speeder) rang up under their individual names, so hopefully they'll stay at that price when they spread out there more. This is also, interestingly, the first time we've gotten non-Clone Wars figures in this line aside from two TRU exclusives.
I like this new packaging; it's more inviting with the white accents than the black-and-blue-fest we had in the Captain Rex packaging. The Class I box is similar to the most recent redesign (for the Castas wave), but more rounded on the left side.
Both sets come with the Galactic Battle Game stuff we've been ignoring since summer 2010, but now the stands are a weird tan color, the dice are black with gold trim as opposed to blue with white, the cards have a big photo of the character on the back instead of rules for the game, and the rules appear on a separate small white piece of paper. The different characters have different colors for the cards' trim, presumably following their allegiance.
Anyway, onto the sets themselves. The STAP is a repaint of the vehicle and figure that first came out as a Sneak Preview set in 1998 for $14.99. Aside from the game stuff, there are no new accessories. The figure is virtually identical to the original release, with perhaps a slightly lighter weathering scheme, but the weathering is still in the same places. The figure looks very dated and large next to the TVC version, but it's not awful when it's riding the STAP. The vehicle got no sculpting upgrades, so it's still the somewhat soft affair it's always been. The paint looks a little more orange than it used to, and of course there's no weathering, but where this version shines is in the additional grays and silvers that accent the ship in various places. I would have preferred to see the engines lit up instead of silver; it looks good this way, but it could have been more dynamic. If I had unlimited money, I could see myself getting a few more of these for dioramas, as it's a pretty good choice for this line in my opinion.
The BARC Speeder is the most recent design, which you already have if you have the bikes that came with Jesse and Buzz. Instead of the more open look from the films (with the bar running down the bike's length), it's the version from the show (with a curving slope starting at the data screen and going down from there), so it's not technically accurate to the movie (neither are its wheels, of course, but whatever). The paint scheme is basically the same as the ROTS versions, as seen on the deluxe ripcord release and the Treachery on Saleucami battle pack, so it's not necessarily anything to write home about. The figure itself is more interesting, as it's the AOTC TVC release with a ROTS helmet. It looks a little smaller than the helmet from the ROTS TVC figure, but it might be the same. As with the AOTC figure, the clone is a little skinny and tall (opting for the original release's shins instead of the improved, shorter ones from the ARC Trooper Commander figure), but it looks really good once you get it posed, either on or off the bike. The figure's face is lighter and there's gray on the soles of his shoes, but otherwise the body is the same as before. Sadly, this is the version that should have been released instead of the yellow-helmeted failure, but such is life. The set also comes with two blaster pistols, two blaster rifles, and a rocket launcher. The guns are from the AOTC TVC figure, and the launcher is from the Clone Wars line, as they're finally including accessories from that line with the realistic figures. So it's a pretty good set - it certainly feels "newer" than the STAP in every way (since, I suppose, it is, even though nothing new has been sculpted here). The bike didn't look this way in the film, the plain white clone didn't ride it, and you might be sick of BARC Speeders and plain white ROTS clones by now, but it's a good set.
I didn't get the others, as I'm waiting to see if there are any interesting differences between these and previous releases. The Sith Speeder has some paint to indicate a viewscreen; it's basically just red and white shapes, but the 1999 release didn't have it, and the one in the 2010 Tatooine Desert Ambush battle pack has just white and green paint there (though I don't have that version). That's very minute, and I don't know how the rest of the paint scheme compares. The set also includes another, bigger Sith probe droid, presumably from the 2005 Sith Evolutions set.

Pros: Powerful, clean output with slight warmth, small footprint, value for money, drives most headphones, nice connectability with E7
Cons: Limited Line In Options
I originally purchased the E7 - mainly as a portable dac/amp, but as time progressed, I wanted to use it mainly for my desktop (bypassing the onboard), and needed a more powerful amp as I progressed to upgrade my cans.
The obvious choice was to use the E9, and pair it with the E7.
Technical Specs
From Fiio's packaging / website
- Output power : 1W (16ohm loaded), 80mW (600 ohm loaded)
- Headphone impedance range : 16 ohm to 600 ohm
- SNR (line in) : ≥100dB (A weight)
- Distortion (line in) : <0.003% (100mW)
- Frequency response : 10Hz ~100KHz
- Fixed line out 2V rms
- Adjustable out : 0-2V rms
- Power supply: DC15V / 1.5A
- Size : 149mm x 96mm x 56mm
- Weight : 445g
Build Quality
The E9 is built really well, and a lot of attention appears to have been paid to get it looking really nice. The E9 has a brushed aluminium chassis, a front face plate featuring dual inputs (3.5mm and 6.35mm) + power on LED and a very smooth volume potentiometer.
The top of the chassis has a dock for the E7 - and will also be able to be used for future Fiio products such as the E17 dac/amp and also their new DAP.
The rear plate has a power in plug (for the included plug), USB input (16bit/44.1 for using with the E7 docked into the E9), a hi/lo gain switch, dual fixed volume line-out RCA plugs, a variable 3.5mm line out, and a 3.5mm line in.
The overall build quality IMO is very good. No rough edges, everything fits perfectly, and the exterior design looks very classy.
Performance / My Thoughts
Although so far I haven't had any really hard to drive cans, the E7/E9 combination has been very good. It imparts a very small amount of warmth - which goes nicely with my Alessandros and Beyers (DT880 250 ohm). Overall though the E9 is very neutral, and appears to be extremely powerful. It is able to drive the Beyers very easily with the pot only just getting to between 9-10 o'clock (or about 25% of the available travel)
Even at high volumes the E9 has been noiseless on my set-up. No signs of hissing. I have only been using the 6.35mm headphone plug & to be honest I just could not imagine using IEMs with this amp - it's not what it was designed for.
I have my powered speakers plugged int o the fixed line-out RCAs and it is a really nice set-up. As soon as a headphone is plugged, the speakers are bypassed. I have also tried my iPod via LOD to the rear 3.5mm input, and this set-up also works flawlessly.
As a value for money desktop headphone amp - especially as an entry level - the Fiio E9 is very, very hard to beat. Sleek footprint, solid build, great sounding, and very reasonably priced. Fiio has a winner on their hands. This combined with the E17 (to be released) will be a very formidable entry level package.

BeOS is slick and cool. Unfortunatly, I am having trouble getting my hardware working properly. Plug and play my ass. At least it reboots quickly.
Using BeOS reminds me of being a Macaddict, when everything was shareware. Linux has spoiled me, I'm so used to everything, quality or crap, being free. As in beer.
Koolaid! Just got BeOSinstalled on my Thinkpad.
Except that it won't recognize my pcmcia network card, which I suppose makes it basically worthless to me.
I want to start playing around with GUI development to take a break from all the web design I do. But what environment to use? Tk means I can use python/perl, but it's ugly. KDE vs. gnome/gtk? Do I bite the bullet and get VisualC++ just to see how the other side lives? Maybe java/swing? yerg. so many choices. I miss my Apple II and getting to choose between LoRes and HiRes (ok, so you could also choose HiRes 2 and get more screen resolution) modes.

Unfortunately, since PWDs are a rather rare breed, there are no PWDS in rescue right now. The Natl Coordinator of PWDCA lives about a mile away from me. She's already getting calls from reporters on this.WASHINGTON (AP) - This isn't just another wag-the-tail story: The Obamas are
getting a dog in April and are looking for a rescue Portuguese Water Dog.
First lady Michelle Obama tells People magazine that the target date for the
arrival of the family pet is after her daughters' spring break trip in
April, though 7-year-old Sasha is convinced the dog is coming April 1.
"So Sasha says 'April 1st.' I said, 'April.' She says, 'April 1st.' It's
like, April!" said Mrs. Obama.
The family wants a rescue Portuguese Water Dog who is the appropriate age and match.
I would just think that a President has all kinds of people to research stuff like this in advance, yet they are really no different in this respect than the "man on the street" in laying out the schedule before they've got the correct information.
And, yeah, the PWD breeders are none too happy that their breed will be put in the spotlight by this choice.

I SAT alone on the kopje side; at my feet were the purple fig‐blossoms, and the yellow dandelion flowers were closing for the night. The sun was almost sinking; above him in the west the clouds were beginning to form a band of gold. The cranes were already beginning to fly homeward in long straight lines. I leaned my head against the rock upon the kopje, and I think I slept.
Then it seemed that in the sky above me moved a great white figure, with wings outstretched.
And I called, "Who and what are you, great white Spirit?"
And the Spirit answered, "I am the Spirit of Freedom!"
And I cried, "What do you do here, in this sad land, where no freedom is?"
And he answered me, "I am watching my seeds a‐sowing."
And I said, "What is there a‐sowing here? Our cornfields are down‐trodden; at day the flames from page: 143 burning farm‐houses rise into the sky, and at night the stars look down on homeless women and young children. Here the walls have ears; we look round to see if no man is following us to listen to the very beating of our hearts. What place is left for you here?"
And he said, "I have watched my seeds a‐sowing. At the foot of every scaffold which rises in town or village, on every spot in the barren veld where men with hands tied and eyes blindfolded are led out to meet death, as the ropes are drawn and the foreign bullets fly, I count the blood drops a‐falling; and I know that my seed is sown. I leave you now, and for a while you shall know me no more; but the day will come when I will return and gather in my harvest."
And I cried, "Great Spirit, when shall that time be?"
But his wings were spread, and it seemed they covered all the sky as he passed.
And I cried, "Spirit, beware, lest even in the sky they shoot up at you and you be killed for ever in this strange sad land."
But he cried as he fled from me, "I cannot die! ... Mors janua vitæ!"
And I started up. I saw no spirit, but the sun was sinking. The west was gold and crimson. The last line of cranes with their heads stretched forward page: 144 and their wings outspread were flying homeward. I heard their long, strange cry.
I glanced around me on the kopje, fearing one holding by English gold might have followed me. But the kopje was silent. As I passed back into the village, the barbed‐wire gates were not yet closed; only the dark‐skinned guards scowled at me as I passed them with their rifles at the gate, and armed white men jeered as I went by them; but not one of them knew that I had been speaking with their great enemy on the kopje!

*bangs head on wall* So close, and yet so far. The ISO boots (the biggest hurdle, really) kicks off the installer, gets all the way up to installing packages, and tracebacks. Thought the changeloop patch would resolve this issue, but apparently, it does not.
Acquired an Ultra 60 last night. The individual who gave it to me said it was a dual 30, but the case says its a 60. Haven't booted it up yet to check.
Starting to get concerned about whether or not the sparc64 cds will be ready by Linuxworld... :/

MUES Progress
I've decoupled the IO stream away from the server to the point now that I only have to supply some vague simulcrum of the Engine's interface and the event subsystem to be able to test all the IO subsystems in standalone test harnesses.
I am removing all the player/stream login code from the LoginSession class and the Engine's LoginSessionAuthEvent handler and moving it to the Engine's PlayerLoginEvent handler for consolidation. This means that the IOEventStream will have to be frozen for a second when it's handed via the PlayerLoginEvent back to the Engine to prevent IOEvents from being lost in a race to re-assign the socket from the stream in the event of a reconnect. I added pause() and unpause() to the stream class to facilitate this.
The IOEventStream is still a CPU hog. It's a hog because it has no way of knowing if its filters have pending events, and so must poll them in a timely manner. If the interval is adjusted too high, response to the shell becomes sluggish. This can be fixed by arranging for some kind of signalling mechanism for filters so that they can wake the stream when they have events pending, and the stream can run the events through the loop and then sleep until there's more to be done. Perhaps mutexen or condition variables or a semaphore could be used to do this. More experiments are needed.

I have tried to listen to Michelle Obama on those occasions she is not muzzled. By the time she is into a statement two sentences I'm turned off. I find her statements to be have a distasteful & demeaning approach to those in our society who happen to have disagreement with the Obama agenda, whatever that is.
I say this as we were going to watch "60 minutes" this evening. The minute she started spewing her particular brand it was too much to take, we switched to another station.
Am I alone in my distaste for her approach?

Applied Engineering and Technology Building, UTSA Main Campus
UTSA gears up for move into new Applied Engineering and Technology Building
By Christi Fish
Public Affairs Specialist
(Sept. 24, 2009)--Although the official ribbon cutting will not be until spring 2010, many UTSA students, faculty and staff are anticipating the completion of the new $82.5 million Applied Engineering and Technology Building (AET) on the Main Campus. The 145,440-square-foot facility, a phase II expansion of its neighbor, the Biotechnology, Sciences and Engineering Building (BSE), should be completed by the end of October.
"UTSA is committed to becoming a tier-one research university and to achieve that, we need the proper facilities," said Kerry L. Kennedy, UTSA vice president for business affairs. "The new Applied Engineering and Technology building will support the future growth of the university by providing much-needed laboratory and office space for our faculty and students. It also will relieve many of the space issues we have in other buildings on campus, once the faculty are re-located into the new space."
The four-story AET building includes 87 faculty offices, 36 research laboratories and other support spaces. The ground floor includes five classrooms -- three of which are already in use -- as well as a hydrology, animal science and teaching laboratory.
Faculty slated to occupy the building will move between Sept. 28 and Nov. 6. To support the rapid growth in the student population and the research activity in the College of Engineering, its four departments will expand into the AET's first and second floors. They include the Department of Biomedical Engineering, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, the Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The College of Sciences' Department of Physics and Astronomy will occupy the third floor.
Designed by the San Antonio architectural firm Garza-Bomberger and engineered by Austin-based HMG and Associates, the new building has been constructed by general contractor Walbridge/Bartlett Cocke, a joint venture with San Antonio connections, under the supervision of the University of Texas Office of Facility Planning and Construction (OFPC) and the UTSA Office of Facilities. The building was funded by Permanent University Funds and tuition revenue bonds.------------------------------
Architectural profile
The exterior façade of the five-story Applied Engineering and Technology Building includes 18,000 cubic yards of excavated native limestone rock, blending with the neighboring BSE Building, which features a blend of limestone, stucco and sloped clay-tile roofs. Construction materials for the AET included 2,200 linear feet of foundational piers, 200 tons of erected steel, 10,000 cubic yards of concrete and 1,400 tons of stone veneer.
Mechanical specifications include a 950-kilowatt generator (30,000 pounds), double-ended 4,000-amp electrical service (60,000 pounds), 32 miles of mechanical and plumbing piping, 72 miles of conduit and 242,170 pounds of ductwork.
The new building's north plaza, still under construction, will include a bronze fountain with stainless steel elements, a design based loosely on atomic and molecular structures. Recycled condensate from the chillers cooling the AET will supply the fountain with water. The north plaza also will include two stainless steel, LED-illuminated light columns and six stainless steel and mahogany sculptural benches.
Applied Engineering and Technology Building: By the numbers
Size: 145,440 square feet
Cost: $82,500,000
Cost per square foot: $567.24
Duration of construction: 790 calendar days
Total number of project workers: average of 200 per day

Bukky Leo is a saxophonist and singer who, back in the day, was plucked from Lagos streets by Fela Kuti drummer Tony Allen to star in his new band. He would very soon also be sharing a stage with Fela himself.
Bukky relocated to the UK from Lagos in the early 1980s, and within a few years was headhunted for the Acid Jazz label by an unfeasibly young Gilles Peterson and subsequently transformed into one of the acid jazz movements darlings.
Following a prolonged spell in Egypt during the 1990s, he recruited a new band Black Egypt. A chunky, funky set that draws upon Bukkys deep heritage, this record retains inherent Afrocentricity and freewheeling jazz sensibilities, but adds a decent dose of soul and even some house.

|Classic Atlantic Salmon No pursuit rivals salmon rivers, flies & legacy

Hi smolt. I realize I am about a month late in responding to this but I think it is important to say. I live in this region (an hour drive from the Matapedia) and I can certainly tell you that these killed salmon are not needed as a source of food. It is a red herring that somebody is throwing out to garner support. If they were needed for food, they would be poached and not taken by paying a daily fee of at least $35. You can buy a whole fresh Atlantic salmon (aquaculture) in the local grocery store of about 7 lbs or bigger for that $35. Salmon are killed in Quebec at a relatively high rate because that is what people have always done and there seems to be little incentive or desire to change it. Catch and release mortality really needs to be discussed in a scientific manner to be useful. One indisputable fact is that a fish caught and released has an infinitely better chance of survival and reproduction than one that is caught and killed.
Preaching to the converted I know. Good on ya for releasing all your fish. I hope you can come back and have an even more spectacular fishing trip as more fishermen begin to take responsibility for their impacts on the salmon population.
"As much as I dislike the practice, its hard to fault the locals for killing fish. It is a way of life and, frankly, I honestly believe the vast majority need the source of food. I had a relatively long, one-sided "scientific" discussion with someone while I was there about the merits of killing fish. Succinctly put, his position is that the mortality rate of released fish is much higher than we have been led to believe, so killing fish rather than releasing them will not have an adverse impct on the fishery. It was one-sided because I listened, but knew there was really nothing I could say to change the person's mind. Who knows, maybe he was right. In any event, I practice C&R more from an "ethical" than a "scientific" viewpoint. In short, I don't need the fish (I don't even like to eat them), so I don't kill them."
I hope to go back at the end of September and fish the Matapedia as well as the MSW Miramichi and the Cains in New Brunswick. Why don't you think about coming along to show me the rod?
Salmon Chaser,

Smolt -
Thanks for the report. I remember driving over it wishing, but not getting to go fishing as I was on my way home from the Bonaventure.
Next time you go let me know, I have an 11ft overhead 9wt that I think you'll really like out there.

Great reports smolt, takes me back to the last time i was up to the matapedia. I fished three days in July/02 with only two raised fish. The thing that sticks in my mind from your post is the 15lb hen. Sad to hear that they still kill big spawners!!! I watched an 18lb hen killed in Heppel Pool on that last trip and thats probably why i haven't been back since,,,,or maybe its monetary . I also checked the log at the station in Causapscal and a 35lb hen had made her way through there earlier in the day. What a shame.
again, nice report and good to hear how well the river fished for you.
Salmon Chaser.
Hey Charlie, lovely looking machine! I have gone to the krystal flash tail exclusively for salmon. I fish it 'regular" for trout in small sizes
No pictures Charlie.
Nice Green Machine. The one I used had a heavy, flour. green, Crystal Flash tail, with a flour. green single-color tip.
Sounds like you had a great trip. Very glad to hear it. The Matapedia is a river I have not yet fished. Any good pictures?
Nice Report Smolt!!
Interesting waters........I'd love to fish one day.
Shoot!! I can only fish during hunting season!!!!

REPORT: Salmon Fishing on the Matapedia
The following is a long report (could have been longer) on my trip to Canada to fish for Atlantic salmon.
I arrived in the town of Matapedia, Quebec just before 11am on Sunday, July 25th. I was scheduled to fish the Matapedia River on Monday and Tuesday. If the fishing was good, my plan was to fish on Wednesday as well, and then travel to New Brunswick to fish the Miramichi. I am happy to report that the fishing was better than good, it bordered on great.
I was not to meet my guide, a fellow named Peter Firth, to discuss fishing on Monday, until after dinner on Sunday evening, so I had plenty of time to kill. I had read about a salmon fly called the John Olin (sp?), I think on this board, which was reported to be successful in Quebec, so I spent part of the afternoon tying a couple. When I met with Peter that evening, he told me that the hot flies had been the John Olin and the Green Machine in size 6 doubles. I was prepared.
Fishing is done from 26-foot plus, square-backed canoes. You anchor in the pool and cast quartering down river until the water is covered at your casting limit. You then drop down to start the process again. When you hook a fish, the guide takes the canoe to shore, and you play the fish from there.
Peter suggested that I use a two-handed rod. I opted for my CND 13-foot 8/9 Custom, but used it for overhead, rather than spey, casting. It worked like a charm with a 7/8/9 WC with only the floating sections attached. He also suggested 15 lb. tippet, but reluctantly agreed to 10 lb. flourocarbon tippet, since that was what I wanted to use.
Quebec has very good public water, but, in addition, there is a lottery for the exclusive right to fish certain pools. While I dont really understand how the lottery works, Peters wife had won the lottery for Monday on Haley Pool the pool where I hooked my first Matapedia salmon in 1987. I was able to fish that pool as her guest. Even so, on Monday we started fishing at Duncan a public pool, just downriver from Haley.
I asked Peter to tie on my fly I dont trust myself but when he saw the 10 lb. fluorocarbon tippet, he said it was too thin. I told him I wanted to use it anyway, so he tied on a John Olin and I was off to the races. Three casts and a good-sized salmon took the fly. Being out-of-practice, I struck too hard and the leader snapped. I didnt use that tippet material again. Peter went into his bag and tied on some Maxima -- my guess is 15 lb. Maxima.
A few minutes later, another salmon rose to the fly and I stuck too soon. About half an hour after that, a third salmon took my fly and I waited very patiently, but by time I got around to raising my rod that fish had spit out the fly. At this point I thought Peter was going to hit me upside the head with the paddle.
We moved up to Haley and I finally got it right. I hooked a beautiful grilse that made seven jumps before it was landed and released. The fish was shaped like a football and weighed a good 6 pounds. After that, I landed an 8-pound salmon. The grilse took the John Olin and the salmon took a Green machine. We quit for lunch.
We started the evening fishing at about 5pm. I landed one more grilse and the day was over. We had no less than nine fish come to the fly, three of which were landed and three of which I should have at least hooked. It was a fine day.
Without going into the details, because we didnt have a private pool to fish and the weather was sunny and warm, Peter decided we should start fishing early on Tuesday. I met him at 5am, caught a grilse within the first half hour and then intentionally executed a long-line release on another so that I wouldnt make my daily limit and have to leave the river too early. (Figuring the C&R limit in Quebec is also something I don't have a handle on.)
We went in for breakfast at about 7:30am, and fished again from 8:30am until 11am. One more grilse released 10 yards from the canoe.
That evening I switched to my 11-foot 7-weight Winston Boron IIx. I used a 7-weight salmon/steelhead taper SA line with it. What a wonderful rod to cast! Effortless.
I landed another small salmon and a grilse. When I caught the grilse, we had been casting to a salmon in Duncan Pool that simply wouldnt take. The grilse finished me for the day.
It was getting dark anyway, and as we were moving to shore, another canoe entered the pool to the left of where we had been fishing. It was in casting range of the salmon, but from a different angle. Peter told the fellow in the other canoe, whose name was Eugene, where the salmon was lying and suggested he put a fly to it. Three casts and the salmon took. Ten minutes later Eugene had a 13.25 lb. salmon in his canoe.
On Wednesday morning, I landed a grilse and executed a long-line release of another before breakfast. I didnt hook anything else that morning, but did have a few rises.
On Wednesday evening, fishing was slow. Peter had been out during the afternoon spotting fish, but I just couldnt get anything to take. Towards nightfall, we fished a pool under a bridge where Peter had seen a number of salmon and grilse, but again nothing. As we were leaving, Eugene appeared and started to fish the pool behind us.
We finished the night at Duncan Pool, did nothing, and were gathering my gear from the canoe when Eugene pulled up to the shore. He had a beautiful 15 lb. hen salmon taken from the pool we had left. He caught it on the same fly he caught the one the night before. He claims it is the best low-light fly going. He had given one to Peter, but I like a dummy didnt look at it or get the pattern.
If my math is correct, the scorecard for the Matapedia was, counting long-line releases, 10 fish in three days. They were all bright, very strong fighters, but I couldnt hook a salmon of any size. Failing to catch a fish my last evening was disappointing, but far from ruined my trip. I analogize it to taking a bogey on the 18th hole, but still shooting the round at par.
Now for my guide. The first time I fished the Matapedia was in 1987, out of the Tobique Salmon Club. Even though Peter was only in his 20s then, he was already an excellent guide. Each time I have fished the Matapedia since, I have tried to hook up with him. It is my opinion, shared by every person that I have spoken to on the river, he is one of the best, if not the best, guide on the Matapedia. He not only knows every inch of the water, he works hard. He goes out when the sun is right at midday to spot fish for evening fishing. He is not averse to getting up early to make sure you have a good spot on a good pool. Hes a fine caster and, if there are any, he can spot faults that need to be corrected in your stroke. Hes not shy about telling you whether you are doing something wrong, but is always polite. Best of all, he is patient. There are none better.
I left the Matapedia on Thursday morning and made the 3-hour drive to the Miramichi at Doaktown, New Brunswick. I met with two guides that I have known there since 1984 to see whether I could find a spot on one of two private pools that I thought would have fish. As things turned out, there was no room at the inn. That morning, however, six fish had been taken from one pool and two from another. Even though fishing was good, I decided not to stay and fish public water because I didnt know of any that was fed by coldwater brooks or springs.
So I left and went to Maine. Fished for stripers once in Casco Bay. Nothing. Should have gone to the Kennebec.
