We love the summer reading programs the library offers. We also like story time.
We love the Tacoma Public Library system. The staff is always friendly and helpful. We always borrow movies from the library for free rather than having to always rent them from the store.
My kids and I live for library days, they are so helpful at the desk and alwyas have what we're looking for. Thanks also for the museum passes, its one of our favorite outings!
We enjoy the Public library system for all the resources it offers to kids and adults. We look forward to friday night movie night and always pick up an interesting flick at the library.

While the day 1 of Bacardi NH7 Weekender's Delhi chapter saw performances from sitarist Anoushka Shankar and rock bands Parikrama, Pentagram and Indus Creed, the second and final day of the musical extravaganza will be a treat for metal fans with headline act Megadeth, thrash metal pioneers, closing the festival. The band is scheduled to perform at the Budhh International Circuit in Greater Noida today at 8.30pm.
Megadeth's performance in Delhi is a much awaited one, especially after the cancelled Metallica concert last year which left many metal lovers disappointed. The band, who last performed in India in Bangalore in 2008, will likely perform a selection of numbers from the albums Rust In Peace, Youthanasia, Countdown To Extinction, The System Has Failed and Thirteen.
In an interview to Hindustan Times, Megadeth drummer Shawn Drover said, "We will be playing songs from the new album that we've released, but we also play the classics and the songs our fans love."
"We haven't ever played in New Delhi before and whenever we travel to a new place, we like to go out and explore it a little. We're very excited about going to New Delhi and playing a great concert," he added.
Megadeth is amongst the Big Four of thrash metal, which include Metallica, Slayer - also performing in India over the weekend - and Anthrax. They have 10 Grammy nominations and 13 studio albums to their credit.
Also playing at the Bacardi NH7 Weekender today are Pakistani singer Shafqat Amanat Ali and Indian bands Indian Ocean, East India Company, Delhi Metal Project and Bhayanak Maut.

AES E-Library
Measurement of Architectural Speech Security of Closed Offices and Meeting Rooms
A measurement procedure has been developed for rating the architectural speech security of closed offices and meeting rooms. It is based on measuring the attenuation between average levels in the meeting room and received levels at spot locations outside the room, 0.25 m from the room boundaries. These attenuations are used with statistical distributions of speech and noise levels to calculate a suitable signal-to-noise measure. This previously derived objective measure is related to the audibility and intelligibility of the transmitted speech. The measurement at spot receiver locations allows detection and characterization of localized weak spots ("hot spots") in the room's boundaries.

Even Christian scholars are finding all the miracles of Jesus unfounded. They have been added three hundred years after Jesus, to give him a glamour that he is really the son of God. All pure fiction!
Now there is a great controversy going on in Christian circles: can we accept Jesus if his miracles are proved fictitious? Take away the miracles and Jesus is nothing. But take anything away from Gautam Buddha, he is still a Gautam Buddha. You cannot take away anything from him because nothing is added. He has remained simply himself, no fiction, no mythology. This is a real miracle, that a man who influenced the whole East also managed that nobody add any mythology, any fiction to his life. His life has remained a pure flame without any smoke.
All the buddhas have entered and left.This is only a door. It is not a place to live, it is simply a passage to pass through..and left by this door.
"Bodhisattvas practicing it have entered this door. Disciples and self-enlightened ones are still only halfway there, while outsiders, though they practice, do not enter the right path."
If you are doing some practice outside, that means you are doing some yoga exercise, distorting the body this way and that way, standing on your head. And nobody ever thinks, "Is self-realization a certain posture of the body?" You can go on standing on your head for your whole life but still you will not become enlightened; you will just become a very fat head. All the blood will accumulate in your head, your hands and legs will slowly start shrinking. Certainly you will not be a human being anymore, but just a big football with small hands and legs. It is a miracle, but what can you do with such a miracle?
This statement, Disciples and self-enlightened ones are still only halfway there.They have not even reached the door.
It will be a little difficult to distinguish between the enlightened one and the self-enlightened. The self-enlightened is only imagining that he is enlightened. Nobody can prevent you from imagining any kind of thing you want. And nobody can refute you, because there is no way to refute and there is no way to argue for or against.
I have heard about a madman who got the idea that he was dead. Madness was not enough, he added something more. He would say, "I know that I am dead."
People said, "Don't say such things; you are talking, you are walking, you are eating."

An ongoing investigation into a sexual battery case at an elderly care facility in Boone, North Carolina has resulted in an additional charge for the suspect.
Here's what we know -- authorities originally charged the man pictured above, 60-year-old Charles Michael Horton, with felony sexual battery. Officers say he visited a relative at a health and rehabilitation center and assaulted her.
We've learned they are also charging him with a felony count of second degree sexual assault.
Horton, at last check, remains in custody of the Watauga County jail.

text: WaPo: CBO's Bombshell Obamacare Report 'Grim News' for Obama, Dems Print article Send a Tip by Wynton Hall 5 Feb 2014 post a comment Progressive Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank said on Tuesday that the explosive new Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report showing Obamacare will reduce the workforce by 2.3 million full-time workers over the next seven years has "bestowed a big gift on the law's Republican critics" heading into the November midterm elections. The CBO originally estimated that Obamacare would hasten the equivalent loss of 800,000 full-time workers. Now, the CBO says Obamacare's damage to the labor market is "substantially larger" than first anticipated because the law creates an incentive not to work. "This will inevitably be a drag on economic growth, as more people decide government handouts are more attractive than working more and paying higher taxes," conceded Milbank. The White House and its allies quickly attempted to both attack the CBO's devastating report and spin it as a positive development. As Milbank notes, however, the Obama administration's frequent use of CBO figures makes that a difficult task. "Obamacare has been undermined by the very entity [CBO] they had used to validate it," said Milbank. "This is grim news for the White House and for Democrats on the ballot in November." According to the Real Clear Politics average of polls, just 38% of Americans now support Obamacare.

Magical... | Reviewer: Stuart M Jackson------ About the song Time, The Magician performed by Clifford T. Ward
Unfortunately the previous reviewer was mistaken about the BBC poll result. It was Clifford T Wards song "Home thoughts from Abroad" that secured the vote, not this one. However, this is a magical song. Bouncey tune, clever use of lyrics and the unmistakable influence of this modern troubadour.
Haunting lyrics | Reviewer: Stuart M Jackson------ About the song Climate Of Her Favour performed by Clifford T. Ward
This is another wonderful song from this late, great, song writer. The music is simple and yet powerfully moving. The lyrics pull the listener into a cold and wintery scene and share with us the heart breaking emotion of failing love. This man's songs deserve far more recognition than they currently have

November 27, 2014
LAS VEGAS (AP) - The Clark County coroner is exhuming the body of a 14-month-old girl who has been dead for more than a decade in preparation for the retrial in January of a babysitter accused of killing her.
A judge ordered Friday's exhumation after prosecutors said a new examination will show that Kierra Harrison was fatally injured by Alica Wegner.
The girl died in March 1997, two days after being cared for by Wegner, a licensed day care worker.
Wegner's lawyer says he has an expert who'll testify the girl was hurt three to 10 days before she died.
Wegner is now 44. She's free on bail pending trial Jan. 6 on a felony murder charge.
The Nevada Supreme Court overturned her conviction in 2000 after deciding jurors received improper instructions at her 1998 trial.

ment Authority to focus on the regions that would be impacted by the closure of Indian Point.
There are two general options to consider in replacing Indian Point: reducing demand and increasing supply. As noted above, demand is increasing, but the growth rate can be controlled to some extent. Many efforts already are under way to increase the efficiency of use of electricity or to reduce demand during peaks when reliability concerns are highest. Chapter 2 discusses how those efforts could be expanded if it were necessary to compensate for the loss of Indian Point. It also discusses distributed generation and how that could affect load growth and electricity reliability.
Supply options, discussed in Chapter 3, include new generating units and transmission lines that can import power from underutilized generating plants in upstate New York and beyond. In recent years, almost all new generating plants have been fueled by natural gas, but those supplies are becoming strained. Modifying the bulk power system can be complicated, and many factors must be considered. In particular, reactive power has a large effect on transmission capability. The reactive power supplied by Indian Point would also have to be replaced if its units are closed.
Chapter 4 discusses institutional factors and various impacts that might result from the replacement of Indian Point with the options discussed in Chapters 2 and 3. Most new generating plants and transmission lines would be built by private companies, which could face daunting obstacles of regulation and financing. New facilities also would create a set of environmental impacts different from those created by Indian Point.
Chapter 5 analyzes several scenarios to evaluate the impact of closing Indian Point and replacing it with these other options. The scenarios with compensatory actions to replace Indian Point are to be viewed as representative of the actions that could be taken, not as a recommended path. Other combinations of options might prove less expensive or advantageous from other perspectives. Nor do these scenarios include all of the costs that could be involved, such as buying Indian Point in order to close it, or disposing of the spent fuel now being stored onsite.
A series of appendixes follow. Appendixes D through G, which give additional details on the options considered and the committee's analyses, are reproduced on the CD-ROM that contains the full report but are not included in the printed report owing to space limitations.
The committee's findings and conclusions are discussed in the Summary and Findings that precedes this chapter. This report does not include recommendations as to whether Indian Point should be closed.

Since the 1970s, Norway has become home to thousands of non-European immigrants and refugees. MPI's Betsy Cooper takes a detailed look at how the country seeks to control migration while keeping the door open to labor from an expanding Europe.
Denise Efionayi, Josef Martin Niederberger and Philippe Wanner of the Swiss Forum for Migration and Population Studies explain how Switzerland, with one of the highest percentages of foreigners in Europe, is responding to a variety of migration challenges.
MPI's Joanne van Selm analyzes the EU's latest effort to guarantee rights, protect refugees, and regulate migration flows and borders.
Louka T. Katseli of the OECD Development Centre explains why effective migration policies in Europe are as much a political as a technical issue.
Our updated country profile on France by MPI's Kim Hamilton and INED's Patrick Simon now includes information on the headscarf debate and new asylum data.
This book offers insights into key aspects of the citizenship debate from a policy perspective. It is a result of the deliberations and thinking of the Transatlantic Council on Migration, which brings together leading political figures, policymakers and innovative thinkers from the U.S. and Europe.
This paper intends to provide a baseline of evidence for policymakers seeking to calibrate their immigration policy responses to the economic downturn, with a focus on the UK.
Public opinion supports the view that immigrants take natives' jobs and reduce their wages, but most economists disagree. Although basic laws of supply and demand suggest that immigration could reduce wages by increasing the supply of workers, in reality the actual impact of immigration is likely to be small, especially in the long run.
This short briefing paper explores the potential effects of the economic crisis with respect to immigration across European Union Member States, and outlines how policymakers might respond to changing patterns of migrant inflows and outflows, and the consequences of the downturn on immigrants and their host communities.
In the next two decades, the world will face two major — and opposing — demographic challenges: rapid population growth and rapid population aging. In an increasingly economically interdependent world, policymakers will simultaneously face a strain on resources caused by population growth and a shortage of labor spurred by the graying of the population.
The Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) and Europe appear to be an ideal demographic match: the former has a large supply of young, active workers, and the latter has a shortage of the youthful, skilled or unskilled labor it needs to sustain its economic competitiveness. MENA is the source of 20 million first-generation migrants, half of them now living in another MENA country and most of the rest in Europe. The region also hosts around the same number within its borders. In addition, the size of MENA's working-age population will continue to rise sharply in the next two decades while the corresponding segment of the population in Europe will soon start to decline.
This report explores the need for nations to adjust their thinking and policy toward attracting the coveted elite class of highly skilled global talent as emerging and middle-income countries increasingly attempt to woo back their nationals and engage their diaspora to help move their economy forward.
This report traces the evolution of the link between international study and skilled migration, outlines policy methods that OECD countries are using to recruit and retain international students, identifies policy challenges through a close examination of existing policies and trends, and predicts how the economic recession will affect future international student flows.

There is much good practice in Catholic education, but it is an uphill struggle for those trying to succeed. The institutional environment determined by our bishops and politicians is not conducive to good outcomes.
The bishops' 2007 joint pastoral letter on education said: "For a very long time now, the Catholic Church has been an important partner with public authorities in the provision of education." This perspective, which sees education as something that is handed down to parents through a partnership of bureaucracies, needs reviewing.
Catholic social teaching, consistently and without variation, makes the case for parents to be at the centre of decision-making on behalf of their children. Instead, the best that parents can hope for is a choice between a state Catholic school and a state secular school. In parts of London, places at the state Catholic school may not even be available. Also, if the Catholic school is poor, either in terms of its educational standards or the Catholic formation that is given to children, parents are powerless.
Those schools that really are beacons of excellence and operate within the Catholic state education system overcome significant obstacles. Secu

The Great Hate Debate - American White History Month Debates the Haters!
WE ARE ASKING PEOPLE TO CALL (347) 637-3768 AND INTELLIGENTLY DEBATE WITH US ON OUR SHOW THIS SUNDAY (9/21/14). We have a very special evening lined up and planned for you on this show because we are going to take calls from groups and from people who would have you think and believe that we at American White History Month are nothing more than a group of racists. The truth will DEFINITELY come out in this show, folks, because it will be an UNCENSORED and HEATED (though civil) DEBATE with left-winged, liberals and/or groups who actually believe that they will be able to prove that we are who THEY say we are and not who WE say we are.
I'm James Royster, your Host and the Voice of American White History Month and Prepare To Take America Back and I'm here. personally, to tell all of you Liberals and White Haters out there that I am sick and tired of hearing you whine and cry about how WE are racist when YOU, in fact, are the worst kind of racists. You make ME sick and furthermore, you make the WORLD sick. You spread your disease of Godlessness through everything you touch but WE will not be deterred in our speaking out against your faithless, immoral, downright reprehensible agendas.
Dont miss the show this Sunday evening from 7-9pmCST right here on the American White History Month Radio Talk Show!

Facts & Fiction About American White History Month - Meet the AWHM Family!
Welcome to American White History Month Radio Talk Show - where White Heritage is Celebrated. Gather up your Family, Friends and those close to your lives and join us this Sunday evening from 7-9pm CST when we will be introducing you to OUR Family....those people who ARE American White History Month and Prepared To Take America Back, AWHM's Sister Site.
Folks, this will prove to be the show that will finally and convincingly DEFINE who we really are, what we actually believe in, who and what we stand for and why it is that our family felt so strongly about these issues, that we've made it our Life Mission to finally speak out about these very real problems and these very real threats.
Allow us to dispel the MYTHS that are so prevelant about us....because we are NOT racists, we are NOT about hate or rage against other races, nor do we even want a month set aside in the year to celebrate and recognize white heritage. We seek to correct these problems by having already begun the creative development and implementation of programs which are designed to legitimize our quest for equality and freedom of expression, while urging members of ALL races to be proud of their heritage. On this show, we will discuss, in great detail, those very programs, so please tune in.
Joining me, your Host and the Voice of American White History Month and Prepare To Take America Back, James Royster, will be none other than Marshall Nicely the Founder of AWHM and PTTAB and Roxy Lady who, together, have spent the past 3 years breathing life into these two organizations. PTTAB, as this show will explain, is the political voice and sister site of American White History Month.
We'll speak with you then. May God Bless you all and may God Bless America!

ISO "normal" but good food in Dublin/Pleasanton
I'm meeting an old high school friend in the Dublin/Pleasanton area (somewhere near Hwy. 580 for ease of transportation for both of us) for a weekday lunch next week.
I'm not sure about her food tastes (I suspect she is rather unadventurous, however), so am looking for a "safe" (and low-cost) recommendation that's comfortable for her, but good food. When making recommendations, she mentioned TGIFriday's and McDonald's. PLEASE tell me there's something else!!
She did mention she likes Mexican food, so I've looked at other postings, and noted El Balazo, Alberto's Cantina, and Casa Orozco. But their on-line menus looked pretty average to me...
I'd love to try Koi Gardens, but am not sure if she'd like dim sum, plus it might be too expensive. I'm pretty sure Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese and Singaporean are out!
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
The Sideboard in Danville at the Danville Hotel, about 12 miles up the freeway, has gotten some kind words on Chowhound. I was worried that it wasn't there anymore because I couldn't find a link that I seen with a picture of the hotel and I thought their menu. However. there is a yelp review, very favorable, from 4 days ago.
re: wolfe
Here's a few reviews of Sideboard
Here's a search of what is in the Places database on Pleasanton. If there's a website and menu, most are in there.
Stacy's Cafe (part owned by Scott Adams of Dilbert) has had positive mentions. If you look at the place record for Stacy's there's a excellent recent thread about what to eat in Pleasanton and a link to a local blogger of PLeasanton restaurants.
I haven't been to Kinders in Pleasanton, but have been to other locations. It is just ok, the best thing being the ball tip sandwich which is their claim to fame. It is a nice roast beef sandwich but nothing to get excited about.
I was interested in Redcoats which has British pub food, but my impression from my query is that it is ok, but not great.
re: rworange
May I record those reviews as additional kind words about Sideboard? ;-)
re: rworange
I'll check out Sideboard and Stacy's. Thanks!
If you are willing to go to San Ramon, Sergio's(Bollinger Canyon Rd) is a pretty good Italian place with great lunch specials. Also Italian in San Ramon is Pasta Primavera. (Crow Canyon Rd).again good lunch specials. Izzy's Steak and Chop House in San Ramon is now serving lunch but the prices are high for lunch. Zachary's Pizza has a location in San Ramon (Crow CanyonRd) but I am not a big fan and it gets crowded.
In Pleasanton, Eddie Papa's American restaurant (Hopyard Rd) is supposed to be reasonably good and would satisfy an unadventurous eater.
In Dublin, Frankie, Johnny and Luigi's is a red sauce Italian place that has pretty decent pizza in addition to the pasta offerings.
If you don't mind chains, the Elephant Bar just opened in Dublin and isn't bad. There is also Cheesecake Factory and PF Changs at Stoneridge Mall.
re: baseballfan
I've never been to a PF Chang's, and have been curious for a while... that might work out, and the mall would have lots of parking (and even something to do if we want to walk around after lunch).
For a nice quiet lunch with an old friend off the freeway and not ethnic, I'd try Faz. They have sandwiches, salads, pastas in a nice environment comfortable enough to hang out for awhile. Here is a link to the lunch menu:
Faz Restaurant & Bar
5121 Hopyard Road, Pleasanton, CA 94588
re: Cheesy Oysters
Oh, I know Faz! That's a good idea... I'll add it to my short list. Thanks!
If she likes Mexican food, the best in the area is Blue Agave Club on Main Street in downtown Pleasanton. They have a beautiful outdoor patio in front of the restaurant that is one of the best features. For lunch, they have the basics, but done very well. Their dinner menu is where they focus on their specialties.
Blue Agave Club
625 Main Street, Pleasanton, CA 94556
The Pleasanton Hotel is quite...uh....pleasant. Not cutting edge by any stretch, but decent soups, sandwiches, meat-loaf. Eddie Papa's would also fill that bill. Adam
re: mychineseauntie
I think that Stacey's closed - did it reopen? I like Willy's too. Good chili if you are a fan.
re: tomatoaday
Stacey's in the same shopping center as Willy's is indeed closed.
My husband and I ate at Sideboard in Danville last weekend and really enjoyed their food! The portions were on the small side and the prices are high compared to Oakland, but the food and desserts in particular were fabulous!
Hubby had the cheeseburger (added bacon) and fries. I had a small bit and dare I say it was probably the tastiest burger we've had in East Bay. I had a soft shell crab sandwich (a whiteboad special) with fries (comes with chips but you can pay $2 extra for fries). The crab was fairly large and fried well, but the taste was meh.
I'm not a big dessert person, but WOW, the cookies were really good and all made in house. We purchase to take home two mini gluten-free peanut butter cookies sandwiched with fudge (our favorite of the bunch), snickerdoodle, ginger and chocolate chip. We also took home a bacon and cheddar scone (I liked it warmed in the toaster oven the next day, but hubby thought it tasted too greasy) and a slice of foccacia topped with cherry tomatoes, herbs and parmesan cheese (again, I liked it but hubby did not).
We were still hungry after our sandwiches (we skipped breakfast so were starved), so we ordered a latte for me, mocha for him and shared a slice of chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting (absolutely delicious!) Total after tax was almost $70 for our lunch, dessert and baked goods to take home.
They use high quality, organic products when possible (i.e., Blue Bottle coffee, Acme bread, Clover organic butter, Prather Ranch beef, Alexander Valley pickles, etc.). Order at the counter, self-serve utensils/condiments, find an empty table and they'll bring your food to your table.
There's a large communcal table in the middle of the restaurant which seats 8. Around 1:30pm on Saturday, those were the only seats available in the restaurant. We shared the table with a charming, friendly couple who helped us pass the time while we waited over 30 minutes for our food to arrive. We then waited almost 15 minutes for our coffee and cake to arrive after ordering at the counter after we finished eating our lunch. Definitely not the place to go if you're in a rush.

Networking giant Cisco has agreed to acquire cloud management firm Cloupia for $125m.
Cloupia offers software that helps companies to automate the management of their data centres. This is an area Cisco has been very active in since the launch of it Unified Computing System (UCS) in 2009. UCS is a converged infrastructure platform combining compute, network, storage access and virtualisation resources in a single system.
Cisco sees Cloupia's technology fitting into its management capabilities as it enables enterprises to manage the deployment and configuration of physical and virtual infrastructure from one console, the company said in a statement.
The technology can help organisations to manage computing power, network services, storage and virtual machines from the one console. Cisco says this reduces IT admin workload as well as costs.
Hilton Romanski, head of Corporate Business Development at Cisco, added that the acquisition will enable Cisco to provide, "single pane-of-glass management across Cisco and partner solutions including FlexPod, VSPEX, and Vblock."
"[Cisco's] strategy involves the delivery of the industry's most comprehensive data centre networking portfolio, which includes physical and virtual products that support multiple hypervisors and storage stacks," said David Yen, senior vice president and general manager, Cisco Data Center Business Group.
"The addition of Cloupia's automation software enhances the efficiency of such unified data centre infrastructures, helping to accelerate the transition from physical to cloud environments more quickly and effectively," he added.
The management of virtual and cloud environments is something the tech industry's biggest companies have been getting involved with recently. Earlier this year Dell acquired Quest Software, while VMware recently announced a raft of updates to its management capabilities.
Procorre consultancy provides IT and technology strategy solutions to maximise performance of clients' IT assets and investments.
Avocent is a leading global provider of IT operations management solutions for enterprise data centres, small/medium businesses and branch offices...

VELscope Mucosal Examination System
Risk factors for oral cancer include tobacco use, frequent alcohol consumption, and compromised immune systems (among many others). However, approximately 25% of newly diagnosed cases do not fit this high-risk profile. Since the dentist and the dental team are the front line for protecting the population against oral cancer, professionals must use every reasonable means to identify these lesions as early as possible. Early-stage oral cancers are typically painless and asymptomatic; thus, all adult patients should be screened annually. Ideally, oral cancer screening must accurately classify subepithelial cellular changes at the basal membrane. The process must be simple enough to incorporate into routine preventive hygiene appointments. Recently, the FDA has approved a breakthrough technology that (combined with traditional white-light examination) is the new standard for oral mucosal screening. LED Dental's VELscope Mucosal Examination System has been de-signed to assist dentists in detecting cancerous growths that may be missed with traditional examinations. VELscope's strength is that it helps to identify precancerous epithelial lesions below the tissue surface at the basal membrane (which remain essentially invisible in white light until they grow to the surface). Natural fluorescence visualization helps to identify clinically invisible oral abnormalities. Fluorescence works by exciting tissue with light at a specific wavelength, causing it to emit its own light (natural fluorescence). Natural fluorescence is very dim and is not visible. In order to visualize natural fluorescence, all the reflected original light must be filtered out to allow only the natural fluorescence to reach the eye. Early discovery and intervention at the premalignant stages, before the disease has reached the surface and become invasive, is essential. Annual oral cancer screening with fluorescence visualization of the soft tissues should be as routine a dental procedure as bite-wings.
Breeze Self-Adhesive Resin Cement
The major clinical liabilities of most adhesive resin cements include (1) the number of separate steps involved in the procedure and (2) the complication that many of these steps have to be carried out concurrently, making resin cementation a cumbersome procedure ideally requiring 6 to 8 hands rather than the 2- or 4-handed setup that is typical of most dental offices. Recent advances in chemical technology have made possible the manufacture of more effective and more efficient adhesive resin cements. Pentron Clinical Technologies has recently introduced Breeze Self-Adhesive Resin Cement, a universal automix material that offers clinical convenience and excellent properties. Its primary advantage is that no etching, no priming, and no separate bonding procedures are required. The Breeze approach is a single-step cementation easily accomplished by a 4-handed team, yet practical even for the solo dentist. Breeze has excellent bond strength and is dual-cured, allowing the margins to be light-cured immediately, sealing the tooth-restorative interface and preventing contamination throughout the self-cure stage while the light-inaccessible resin polymerizes. It is provided in a convenient automix delivery system for guaranteed perfect chemistry every time. Breeze releases fluoride and is offered in a selection of 3 shades, including the all-important translucent. The technique is very simple. Dispense the automixed Breeze directly into the crown, seat the crown on the prepared abutment, check the seating of the crown at the margins, then light-cure, self-cure, or dual-cure. This self-adhesive cement is formulated to facilitate virtually all cementation procedures, including metals (precious and semiprecious), composite and cementable ceramics. No etching, no priming, no bonding; cementation is simply a breeze.
Neither the patient nor the dentist wants to keep the impression tray in the mouth any longer than is absolutely necessary. For the patient, the tray is large, uncomfortable, and causes drooling. For the dentist, it's a waste of valuable chairside time. Therefore, given that an impression must be accurate, the faster that it is accomplished, the better for all concerned. Zhermack has recently introduced COLORISE, the thermochromic VPS impression material with Zhermack's Chromatime technology that clearly indicates the stages of the working time and the setting time. This innovation in vinyl polysiloxane technology utilizes a color change to signal the endpoint of the impression procedure. There is no need to watch the clock or guess when the impression is done. The color of the impression material changes to clearly signal the first moment that it can be safely and accurately removed from the mouth by the dentist or auxiliary.
The COLORISE light body changes from green to yellow to indicate the end of the polymerization phase. For the heavy and the monophase viscosities, the color changes from light blue to white. While any metal or plastic tray can be utilized with the COLORISE family of impression materials, there is a product-specific line of clear impression trays that have been designed to facilitate the viewing of the chromatic changes of the impression material. COLORISE is very hydrophilic (due to enzymatic hydrophilia), offering a reliable and precise reproduction of both preparation and tissue details in the moist environment of the mouth.
A light vanilla flavor also makes the impression procedure a more enjoyable experience for the patient. COLORISE impression material is available in 9 different viscosities. COLORISE always times your impressions perfectly.
Heine HR Series Binocular
Magnification is a standard parameter of modern dentistry. Without visual enhancement, accurate diagnostics, accurate preparations, and accurate marginal polishing are very difficult for the practitioner and become more so as the dentist ages and both the light gathering and the visual acuity components of vision weaken. The magnification system must be as adaptable as possible to the entire practice day and all clinical procedures. The Heine HR (High Resolution) series Binocular Loupes are Heine USA's most recent and advanced products. The HR Loupe glass blanks are from SCHOTT AG, a renowned glass company in Germany. Six different lenses are used to make a single pair of HR Loupes. Heine grinds the optical blanks to an accuracy within 0.0001 mm. The resulting optics are superwide, distortion-free, and offer an increased depth of field. The HR Loupes use a doublet lens to correct achromatic aberration (combining 2 lenses with different refractive dispersions corrects the color wavelength distortions), resulting in a very clear, crisp image that is free of annoying color fringes. Unique coating technologies limit light diffraction to 0.03%, and 99.7% of the light entering the HR Loupes makes it through to the practitioner's eyes. This en-sures an exceptionally bright image. At just 1.5 oz, the HR Loupes are designed to be comfortable. The frame weight is reduced with materials such as carbon, kynetium, titanium, magnesium, and silicone. The completely adjustable S-Frame weighs in at only 2.5 oz, allowing the loupes to be worn over extended periods while reducing operator discomfort and fatigue and thereby increasing productivity. An Rx lens insert allows dentists with prescription glasses to build this into their HR Loupes. The Heine HR series Binocular Loupes are light, comfortable, and accurate.
Protemp Crown Temporization Material
Clinical case images by Dr. Scott Arne, Deerfield, Ill.
It is frustrating to spend a lot of expensive chairtime on a provisional crown knowing that it will only be in place, in most cases, for 1 to 2 weeks. It is even more frustrating to the practitioner if the provisional crown fails or breaks, and additional chairtime is required to remake, replace, repair, and/or to recement it. Historically, the temporary technique involved the empirical mixing of a powder-and-liquid acrylic material into an ill-fitting, bad-tasting, stain-attracting provisional. More recently, automixed composites combining 2 fluid pastes have been used to fabricate better fitting and far more comfortable temporary crowns. The latest concept in provisionalization is the preformed malleable crown, the Pro-temp Crown Temporization Material introduced by 3M ESPE. For the clinical practitioner, this innovation is a revolutionary time saving approach. No pre-prep impression or matrix is required. No gun or mixing tips are needed. There is no mixing of components. The Protemp Crown is supplied in one universal shade and a variety of preformed sizes. Fabrication is easy: select the appropriate size, adapt the crown right on the tooth (trim following the gingival contour), light-cure, polish, and cement with a standard temporary cement. Fabri-cation time is reduced by 50% for single-unit provisionals (typically 4 minutes or less). The Protemp Crown has no unpleasant odor and produces little polymerization heat; it is very easy to repair (anatomy) or add to (margins) with flowable composite. The Protemp Crown is a strong material whose preformed anatomic shape provides relatively rapid aesthetics. Simple, fast, and innovative, the Pro-temp Crown Temporization Material makes the temporization process as fast as you would like it to be.
Multilink Sprint
Wanted for cementation: a material that is as strong or stronger than conventional cements and has all the advantages of resin chemistry as well as ease of mixing and placement. Nonresin cements do not adhere to the enamel, dentin, metals, or the ceramics that are the 4 most common substrates in indirect dentistry. Resin cements do adhere to these substrates with varying efficacy but have been burdened in the past with cumbersome and complicated chairside techniques. Ivoclar Vivadent's new Multilink Sprint is self-adhesive "conventional" resin cement for the rapid and easy cementation of indirect restorations. Indicated for metal, metal-ceramic, and high-strength all-ceramic (lithium disilicate, zirconium oxide, aluminum oxide) restorations as well as fiber-reinforced composite posts, Multilink Sprint bonds better than conventional cements. However, it is not recommended for glass ceramics or veneers due to the low flexural strength of glass ceramics. Multilink Sprint is extruded from a single-action, double-push automix syringe directly through the mixing tip and into the restoration. Dual-cure initiators provide maximum clinical flexibility, ensuring that Multilink Sprint can be used as a light-cure, self-cure, or dual-cure cement. The relatively translucent cement is advantageous in creating an aesthetic marginal color gradient. Multilink Sprint is available in translucent, yellow, and opaque shades. Multilink Sprint's acidic adhesion promoter provides true self-adhesion on enamel, dentin, and most restorative surfaces, eliminating the need for separate etching, priming, or bonding agents. High shear bond and flexural strengths, lowered water solubility, and a very convenient diagnostic radiopacity round out the technical advantages of this cement. Multilink Sprint–cement with speed, simplicity, and confidence.

Hip Flask - source
- Andiereid Dec 7, 2006 06:28 PM
My husband wants a nice hip flask for Christmas. I keep suggesting he just get a pair of cargo pants and put the whole damned bottle in there, but he seems to think it would ruin his profile. Any suggestions for a source for a nice one? I've googled it and find some sources, but aren't familiar with them and I don't like taking chances on internet purchases.
I'm not really sure where to point you for a good one, but I know where to point you away from for a bad one. Avoid the cheap ones! Hahaha. I bought a handsome looking, cheap hip flask from a street vendor, and then brought it out with me to a place I knew would be too crowded to get served. It turned my primo, top shelf vodka into nail polish remover, absolutely foul. I've been warned that I have to "season" it first (leave some booze in it for awhile), but after that horrendous drinking experience I've been reluctant to try it again.
re: cayjohan
Well, that's a problem, because we have state liquor stores. So there really aren't any good spirit stores, unfortunately.
re: jpschust
Up to a hundred bucks.
Any store that caters to well-heeled sportsmen will have flasks. Here are three to check out: Orvis, Dunn's, Kevin's. You can Google and find them easily. I thought the Mulholland leather-covered flasks at Kevin's looked particularly nice. You really don't have to worry about an internet purchase with any of those three outfitters.
I purchased my flask from a "collectables" store at the local mall. The store sells engravable things: mugs, cups, glasses, plaques etc and party decorations. It was not on display, I asked if they sold flasks and they had an assortment (2-3 sizes) in a drawer.
My flask is 4oz. I received as gifts both a 6oz and an 8 oz flask, the 8 oz comes with a screw on cup. I didn't like the bigger flasks: too bulky and too much alcohol. The 4oz size works for my applications.
j. crew has a couple.
leather: http://tinyurl.com/wtyvr
gold: http://tinyurl.com/yxwhzk (sold out online)
The Beretta Gallery will have lots of nice ones that are made in Germany and Italy. They will start at about $75.00 and go up. They are wrapped in nice leathers.
There is a Beretta Gallery in Dallas and one in New York City.
I've read the information and suggestions posted about flasks. I have followed many of them however I have not had any success finding a flask with a description of the lining.
This was a specific request from my husbands Christmas list.
"A lined flask"
Does anyone know of a particular brand of flask or company that sells flasks that have been lined or treated to prevent strange flavors created from the combo of metal and alcohol?
Perhaps all higher end flasks just come this way?
Any insight is appreciated!
Thank you.
re: Justineb
I'm the OP and I didn't find a glass-lined one. I ordered him one from Brookstone that is stainless steel. Hopefully it will work OK.
On the other end of the spectrum, Platypus makes 4 and 8 ounce bags which are perfect for carrying spirits. They wouldn't ruin the lines of his cargo pants either.
A little late for the OP's Christmas shopping, but I own a few vintage flasks. Corrosion (probably oxidization) on the interior of some of them does taint liquor flavors, so they are mainly decorative objects. I'd think a new stainless steel, curved flask would offer a good combination of durability and light weight; a captive top is a very useful feature.
They seem like a rather quaint, old-fashioned gentleman's accessory nowadays. I pack one anytime I'm in a friend's wedding party as a little pre-ceremony courage for the groom, but they usually go untouched. I sometimes bring one along to college football games if it's really cold out. But I guess I don't find myself in many situations where a few ounces of discreetly portable booze is extremely handy.
There's a variety of "camouflage" flasks that look like binoculars, cellphones, even belt buckles, but I wonder how many experienced stadium entrance screeners would be fooled by these.
I've gotten flasks as gifts for a number of people, and have always been happy with Gunther Gifts: http://www.gunthergifts.com.
They have a wide variety and will engrave them for you too.
This topic might be way past its prime, but I feel like adding to it. For those who have friends and/or family that also would like a flask but you like to give interesting gifts; might I recommend some flask sandals?
I bought these recently on vacation it's a pretty nifty little thing. The flasks only carry about 3oz each, but with both sandals that'll give you 6oz total. Not too bad.
re: mojoeater
No, I decided against wearing them back on the plane because all I need is security to find that I've got footwear with little resevoirs in them. Way too many red flags for me, thank you. My ass would probably still be sitting in the Palm Beach airport while being detained for "questioning"
Grants of Dalvey (Scotland) make some of the finest flasks I've seen. I got my sister an engraved one from http://www.dalveydepot.com/dalveyflas... . Not cheap, but...
