In First Impressions George Freedman, DDS, gives readers a brief summary of products that have recently been introduced to dentistry, based on his clinical experiences.
IRIS USB Intraoral Camera
Intraoral cameras have been integral to the dental practice for more than 20 years. Unfortunately, many intraoral cameras have ended up in the storage room unused and unproductive. The intraoral camera can only be productive if it is in the operatory, ready for use by a motivated dentist and team. Our practice has an intraoral camera in every single operatory. Objective: Use with every single patient, every appointment, and for education, improved co-diagnosis and co-treatment planning. Digital Doc, in the intraoral camera business since its inception, has introduced its newest camera, the IRIS USB Intraoral Camera, a precision optical instrument with an easy-to-use 5-point focus wheel. The streamlined IRIS has a specifically designed smaller and softer tip, equipped with brilliant 8-point LED lighting (rated at 100,000 hours) and Sony's high-resolution best-of-class charged-coupled device (CCD). There are capture buttons on either side of the camera for right- and left-handed operators. Convenient camera and light on/off buttons are readily accessible. Precision optical lenses offer excellent image sharpness and maximum visibility including ultra-closeups. The multistep focus wheel achieves precise sharpness from macro to infinity for patient head, smile, tooth, and closeup views. The unique USB 2.0 connector plugs directly into a computer and also fits into standard handpiece slots on the unit. The 90º-view angle provides for the ready visibility of the entire arch. The dental professional can achieve this view of the entire arch NOT by moving the camera back and forth mesially and distally but by simply altering the angulation of the camera tip from a single position. IRIS is designed to bring the power of intraoral visualization easily and intuitively into every operatory. For brilliance and beauty—IRIS from Digital Doc.

Noises can upset people; they can change their mood. In fact, many of the noises commonly associated with the dental practice lead to fear and disquiet in many patients. While this may be surprising to the dental team, the simple sounds of the dental handpiece, ultrasonic, or suction can seriously agitate some individuals. It has often been observed that when patients' minds are effectively distracted from the current dental procedure, they are often more calm and comfortable during treatment. The difficulty lies in effectively diverting the patients' attention when there are noises, talk, and mysterious activities that all focus on their mouths, with the ever-present possibility of dental or oral pain. The b-Calm device utilizes in-the-ear earphones (replaceable hygienic soft rubber ear buds) to provide soothing audio sedation to patients. The relaxing sounds are a proprietary blend of noise-mitigating signals that have been developed from the calmest sounds available in nature and are selected by the patient with a handheld device. The b-Calm System overrides and drowns out upsetting sounds (handpiece, suction, and ultrasonics), allowing the patient to be calm and relaxed during the dental procedure. The handheld control unit puts the patients in total control of their dental experience; volume can be increased or decreased and tracks changed at will. The b-Calm is totally intuitive and easy to set up. Powered by a rechargeable battery, it provides calming audio with effective noise relief through unique audio tracks of relaxing nature sounds. The calming sounds relieve anxiety and decrease stress to the patient, which in turn decreases stress in the dental team. The b-Calm is sound advice for audio sedation.

On rare occasions, a completely innovative technology appears on the dental horizon. It typically involves novel concepts from diverse sectors of dentistry that are combined into a single application or delivery mode to provide an enhanced, more effective, and easier means of achieving a number of desirable results. Recall examinations are critical for continued patient health, though few patients realize it; dental professionals must engage indirect incentives to motivate them. OSspray's Sylc is an innovative prophylaxis+ system that allows patients to clearly and immediately see routine recall benefits simply by looking at their own mouths. Sylc is an air-polishing prophylaxis powder on steroids. It is composed of calcium phosphosilicate bioglass, a powerful bioactive material with decades of research and clinical evaluation. When combined with saliva or water, Sylc forms hydroxycarbonate apatite crystals that are trapped into the dentinal collagen and biologically bond into the mineral surface, promoting regeneration of dentin and damaged tooth surfaces. The restoration process continues long after the patient has left the office. Sylc occludes open dentinal tubules instantly, providing excellent relief from painful hypersensitivity up to 6 months without discoloration or unpleasant taste or feel. In addition to cleansing, desensitizing and regeneration, Sylc provides a pleasant experience for both patient and hygienist; it is tasteless, odorless, and colorless, without sodium contraindications, cleans tooth surfaces quickly, comfortably, and effectively, and offers hassle-free performance in any existing air-polishing apparatus. Patients love Sylc because even a single treatment brightens their teeth considerably. Its rounder, denser particles offer less soft-tissue irritation, less apparatus clogging, and less messy powder aerolization. (Spend more time with the patient, less time cleaning up.) Sylc, the revolution in prophylaxis+.

Every dental practice uses curing lights. Unfortunately, not all curing lights are as effective and as efficient as they should be. Halogen lights were once the standard, but they tended to dim and burnt out rather quickly. Ten years ago, LED technology revolutionized light curing. LEDs have a silicone chip (no filaments to burn) that can rate at 100,000 hours of use at far lower energy consumption levels! Early LED lights were not powerful and often did not cover the full spectral range of dental photoinitiators. This has changed tremendously. Ultradent Products has introduced the VALO curing light, putting the right power in the right place with all the right parameters. Its slim body and 5º light angle allow the practitioner to access all areas of the patient's mouth without any discomfort. The design enables proper placement in adults with limited opening, and for children as well. VALO's low profile positions the light source close to the composite, eliminating distance curing power offset issues. The defined optics create excellent light collimation, and the focused columnar beam keeps power density high throughout the practical working distances. VALO's broad spectral distribution offers peak power where the photoinitiators are most active, providing rapid and effective uniform curing throughout the restoration. There are 3 curing modes: standard, high, and plasma, that grant the practitioner the versatility to accommodate the broadest range of curing needs. VALO is crafted from a single piece of aircraft aluminum. It is scratch-resistant, sapphire-hard, and Teflon-coated. The thin base cord eliminates on-board battery problems and is reinforced with very strong Kevlar stands. The VALO curing light has power, improved access, and ergonomic comfort all packaged together.

Zytrel XP
The H1N1 virus is omnipresent in newspapers, magazines, and on television. It is, however, just one of the plethora of bacteria and viruses that cause short or long-term diseases, discomfort, pain, and in extreme cases, fatalities. The H1N1 virus, in particular, creates a palpable stress in many segments of the population that are required to deal with the public where they come into contact with surfaces that may have been touched by the infected. It has been well established for over a century (Semmelweis) that the best method for preventing infection and bacterial and viral transmission is to wash and disinfect the hands effectively and frequently. The interruption of this most common transmission mode decreases the likelihood of transmission significantly. Zytrel has introduced an innovative line of fast-acting, long-lasting antimicrobial products, including soaps, sanitizers, wipes and scrubs. The underlying zinc technology that provides Zytrel's anti-irritant, anti-allergenic, and antimicrobial properties in a preservative-free system was developed at Columbia University. Zytrel kills 99.99% of all germs within 15 seconds and forms a breathable film matrix on the skin (lasting up to 4 hours) that traps irritants and inactivates them. Zytrel zinc salts bind with irritants to form compounds too large to penetrate the pores. Zytrel retains skin moisture and reduces water loss, allowing skin to heal faster. Its soluble zinc ions attach to skin cell surface proteins, preventing allergens from reaching skin cells. There is also a hand sanitizer, specifically developed for those with sensitive skin. Zytrel products are gentler to the skin, reducing the stinging effect of most antimicrobial products as they moisturize and heal. Zytrel is the one-step wash to better health.

Human rights in Morocco
The "Association Marocaine des Droits Humains" (AMDH) is Morocco's only NGO dealing with the topic of human rights on a national level. The organization has already been founded in 1979 and has more than 10,000 members and 90 branch offices in the whole country.
The organization is advocating freedom and social justice. They are promoting the equality of all citizens without regards to race, colour, sex, language, religion, opinion, origins or belongings. According to the organization, all citizens need freedom, democracy, justice, and provision of basic assets such as work, nutrition, housing, medical care, social security and access to culture and leisure.
AMDH is doing campaigns about human rights, is controlling the Moroccan legislative to comply with international conventions of human rights, is uncovering and denouncing cases of violations of human rights and is solidarising with the victims of human rights violations.
To reach these goals, AMDH is making use of all possible legal means such as claims ("Memorandum revendicatif" and "Rapport"), using the media and other channels of communication, conferences, round tables, colloquia, universities and various activities of education and sensitization, artistic, cultural and sports activities related to the topic, particularly for children, youth, women and workers, partnerships with other organisations dealing with the topic, as well as intervention with concerned parties.
Annually, AMDH is publishing a report informing about the situation of human rights in Morocco.
Proactive individuals can volunteer or do an internship with AMDH at the office of Chefchaouen. They can do research about a topic related to human rights. The organization also welcomes individuals who can intensify or continue cooperation with foreign human rights organisations and would write texts about human rights in Morocco in their maternal language and/or English.

Work on the fortress was begun in the mid-18th century on the five rocky islands situated just off Helsinki in the Gulf of Finland. The project was the largest and most expensive one in Europe in those days. Today, Suomenlinna is a UNESCO World heritage site and one of Helsinki's most popular tourist attractions.

The new MB (Muscle Back) irons maintain the classic lines, profile, solid sound, feel and shot-shaping precision of classic forgings. However, they also provide modern playability, a benefit resulting from more than thirty years of player research and development, engineering innovation and advances in manufacturing processes. The MB irons feature a redesigned back and faceted surface known as the "dog bone." This surface is larger in the heel and toe while narrowing behind the impact area. This allocates more mass behind the impact area for the traditional solid feel expected from blade irons.
A Tour-preferred satin finish that reduces glare also accentuates the toe and topline profile for easier alignment of the face and confidence at address. The sole has been improved, with trailing edge and heel relief for reduced resistance through the turf - this is great for players with a shallow angle of attack who tend to pick the ball off the turf. In addition to the sharp finish and optimized sole, the MB is a smaller, constant blade length with minimal progressive offset for preferred set up appearance. A narrow, cambered sole creates an ideal bounce angle for crisp contact and more relief on off-center shots.
MB Forged = High Performance. Traditional Feel. Contemporary Blade Look. Enhanced Shot Control.

I upgraded after 5 years with the Callaway X-18's and now my entire bag is Titleist. These clubs are incredible. They are not as difficult to hit as many say, however I will say that it took me two range sessions to get them zero'd in. But once I was got the feeling down, these clubs performed flawlessly. The ball is really hot off the face and it feels leaps and bound better than my old cavity backs. I won't be changing clubs for a very long time.
Jeremy Snowden from Saginaw, TX | 12/19/2011 8:33 PM
NO, I do not own a set of these clubs any longer but I did have a set! You will love how GREAT they feel after hitting your shots and making ball contact!! They are GORGEOUS clubs and have such a great feel to them. There was and still is NO unsatisfactory comments to say and or make about them!! You will absolutely love these irons. Thank you.

2013 NHL Stanley Cup Final - Game Six
Article Extras
Related Stories
Updated: November 2, 2013 6:18AM
Pacific Division
Favorite: Los Angeles Kings. The Kings will go as far as goalie Jonathan Quick takes them. Quick also likely will be the U.S. goalie in the Olympics, which means he'll have a heavy workload all season. But the Kings' physical nature and Quick's stellar ability should be enough to keep them in the hunt again.
Contender: Vancouver Canucks. With Roberto Luongo back as the clear No. 1 goalie now that Cory Schneider is with the Devils and with the fiery (if tiresome) John Tortorella behind the bench, the Canucks should make for one heck of a seasonlong soap opera. But Tortorella's teams always play sound defense and block shots, which should help Luongo. Plus, it's a contract year for the Sedin twins.
Dark horse: Anaheim Ducks. Losing Bobby Ryan (Senators) hurts, but young Jakob Silfverberg is poised to become another big-time scorer to join Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf. The Ducks have to find a way to keep two strong goalies — Jonas Hiller and Viktor Fasth — happy. The Ducks' all-around talent keeps them ahead of an offensively gifted Sharks team, which is thin on the blue line.
Metropolitan Division
Favorite: Pittsburgh Penguins. Even after losing Jarome Iginla and Matt Cooke, the talent level is ridiculously high. But goaltending is a massive question mark. Marc-Andre Fleury imploded in the playoffs last spring, and Tomas Vokoun is out indefinitely after havin g a procedure to dissolve a blood clot. The Penguins' hopes rest on Fleury's shaky shoulders.
Contender: New York Rangers. After years of playing under John Tortorella, coach Alain Vigneault's up-tempo style will be a breath of fresh air. But the Rangers don't necessarily have the talent up front to play it with great success. With Henrik Lundqvist in net, the Rangers are always just one hot streak away from a championship run.
Dark horse: Washington Capitals. After y ears of dominating the weak Southeast Division — five titles in the last six seasons — the Capitals will have to play with the big boys now. With the retooled Flyers and resurgent Islanders and Blue Jackets each looking to take the next step, even third place won't be guaranteed. But as he showed late last season, a motivated Alex Ovechkin can will this team a long way.
Atlantic Division
Favorite: Boston Bruins. Gone are Tyler Seguin (Stars), Nathan Horton (Jackets) and Jaromir Jagr (Devils); in are Loui Eriksson and Jarome Iginla. But there's still loads of talent around, and as long as Zdeno Chara and Tuukka Rask are on the ice, the Bruins are going to be contending for another run at the Cup.
Contender: Detroit Red Wings. The Red Wings are poised to make an instant impact in the East. Teams will have their hands full against a remarkable top line of Daniel Alfredsson, Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg. If the Red Wings eventually let youngsters such as Gustav Nyquist take the torch from players such as Todd Bertuzzi and Mikael Samuelsson . . .
Dark horse: Ottawa Senators. Alfredsson was the heart and soul of this franchise for years, but Bobby Ryan is a significant step up in terms of offense. With a healthy Erik Karlsson (a Norris winner), goalie Craig Anderson and coach Paul MacLean's defensive-minded system in place, the Senators will be a tough matchup every night.
Central Division
Favorite: Blackhawks. The defending champions are the clear class of the division and the league. With nearly every key player back from a team that started 21-0-3 and finished as Stanley Cup cha mpions last season, expectations never have been higher.
Contender: St. Louis Blues. After adding Jay Bouwmeester and Jordan Leopold late last season, the Blues got stronger during the offseason by adding Derek Roy and Brenden Morrow. If goalies Brian Elliott and Jaroslav Halak can stay healthy and harmonious, the Blues are a legitimate threat to dethrone the Hawks in the West.
Dark horse: Minnesota Wild. It's a top-heavy team in terms of offensive talent, but if goalie Niklas Backstrom can stay healthy and Ryan Suter can log his usual 25 to 30 minutes a game, the Wild will be able to hang with most teams.

The opening consists of basil, citrus oil, green accords and peach, followed by carnation, cyclamen, hyacinth, jasmine, rose and lily-of-the-valley in the middle, settling at the base of cedar, civet, musk and oakmoss. The bottle is a very elegant and gracious beauty. It was created by Pierre Dinand, available as 30, 50, and 75 ml EDT, along whit the skin care line. Valentino was launched in 1978.

Signor Valentino, please bring this one back.
Valentino is a treasure that brings back good memories: one sniff, and it's September 1990, I'm 14 and in love with a boy in my class. Never told anyone, because all my friends thought he was too girly to like, and so nothing ever happened, but we often went home from school together by bike, racing along the fields in the golden autumn sun, him wearing round, Harry Potter-style glasses, me wearing Valentino, both of us giggling all the way.
Thank you dear Iris_it for the preceous sample I treasure each drop
I totally love it,uplifting and elegant.
Rosy,green and clean,I wouldn't call it a sweet perfume.
I wonder if modern perfumes will have a retro style such as this.
Liqueur of roses&Co.!
Magnific fragrance.
Bitter Roses, sparkly citruses and leaves to lift up the hyacint. A concert of notes distincted, lights and shadows. This perfume is underscribeable. Vibrant vibrant! With a strong personality itself. Unic. It is stupid to discontinue such class and elegance. It is a real Masterpiece and make you in a good feeling.
A bottle of parfum bought for me in Paris 1993 tiny bottle with red tassle in the red box, thought I was very sophisticated wearing this, wore it for nights out I remember this being quite intense and distinctive.
I found the last bottle and tester of this beauty in a shop not long ago . I wish I had the right chemistry to wear it ! I have no luck with Valentino fragrances as Vendetta is not beautiful on me either . Well , Valentino EdT , smelled from paper , is a very delicate and elegant fragrance , a flor-ethereal smell that would have been such an enchanting pause , away for a while from my loved powerhouses .
This was my mother's Signature scent, growing up in Italy this is all I could smell on her. Such a Classic chic scent, such such a shame they discontinued it! :-(
Wearing this is like sitting in a plush white room with a vase of freshly cut long stemmed white roses... hmm sensory heaven.
Also, it's a 'must have' scent in every girl's perfume wardrobe, simply because you will crave for it once in a while when all the regular sweet favorites begin to feel cloying at some point in time.
Not an everyday scent for me, as it's a tad too dry on me but a real respite when I need one, with its blast of dry green yet floral rose.
love this scent..very light, feminine, timeless..but unfortunately it is no longer to be found easily
Floral, dry-sweet and green lots of fresh cut roses, lillies (without the hayfever) and ylang-ylang on my skin. My mother would wear this in the early 90's for special events and it screamed class to me from a young age. It oozes freshness, and sophistication. This is truly delicious and hard to get hold of without paying a fortune. I had a bottle a few years ago which had turned, recently got a new one for a bargain price which had been stored correctly and smells amazing brings back so many memories. this has a dry sweetness which reminds me of Yvresse and Ysatis, but this has a bit more of a green undertone which reminds me of Estee Lauder Private Collection with the green wet rose notes. Delicious, I start craving this in the spring along with my Fidji, Estee Beautiful love and Elizabeth Taylors diamonds and emeralds all fruity slightly tropical tinged fresh cut florals with green herbaceous undertones.
This is the one that I reach for when i need a respite from the sweet, fruity or vanilla fragrances.
Its light and elegant, floral and feminine.
And the bottle is so charming !!!
I am immediately drawn back to around 1984. This is one of the first perfumes I bought while living overseas. It captures a time in my life when I was young, felt invincible and carefree like a giddy, worldly traveller who was enjoying life to the fullest and marvelling in the sights and sounds of another world.
I remember the sweet and sparkling scent that made me feel so much more grownup and mature than I really was and I probably paid way more than I should have for a perfume but the purchase was made because of the way the scent made me feel and I never regretted that purchase or those memories.
Just thinking about it makes me want to search for another bottle for memories sake.
P.S. I found a bottle...I'm in Valentino heaven!
Found this at the bottom of my perfume drawer today! Bought this in about 1986, 75ml EDT and still have 2/3 bottle left because I recall going off this quite quickly.Found it too sweet.
Lovely, very classy and classic scent. Such a shame its not available any more.
One of the first perfumes owned by myself, it has a typical green note which is pleasing to the olfactory. A very classic scent which should go well with wedding bells. Sadly I cannot get hold of this anymore. Does anyone know where can I get hold of a bottle?
One of my Top 5 perfumes.
Very light and elegant. It's a pitty I cannot find it at stores, anymore.
Valentino made his best here.
The inherited flask is all classic, femininely and floral.
A flowery garden in spring from which there can be perceived some not very distant forest that finishes catching you.
The classic . I am charmed with one the intense color of the splash cologne in his interior.
I bought this today and it smells good.I do smell lemon in it I don't know if I am going to keep or return this because i bought it unsniffed and it is a bit dated,I like Valentino V better.
A very feminine, classic, sophisticated and lady-like perfume. One of my top favourite one's.

|A smart one.
I heard this question on the radio. Someone on the BBC was interviewing an expert in how the brain works, specifically in quick thinking and slow thinking.
Got the answer yet?
Well, I did not get the answer right....using my fast thinking. When I heard what the correct answer is, I was in the car and must have driven for another ten minutes (albeit listening to the rest of the interview) wondering WHY my answer was wrong, and how their "correct" one could possibly be right.....(all the time using my slow thinking) before it came to me. I felt so stupid. (Nothing with numbers comes to me easily, I confess.)
Well, the next day I asked Zhenya. He immediately came back with an answer, and I didn't miss the "of course" tone in his voice - and his answer - it was right.
He is great with numbers, and smart as a whip, as well.
They said that over half of the students at Harvard got it wrong, too......that did make me feel a bit better.
What answer did you get?
The answer is: (scroll over) 5 cents

CORPUS CHRISTI -- As voters get ready to say yes or no to the Destination Bayfront project, KRIS 6 News is digging into who owns the undeveloped property surrounding the proposed $44.5 million project.
You might be surprised to learn that the largest property owner in that area may be based out of the Philippines.
Point Grey Investment Corp owns $2.2 million in land near the bayfront. We can't track down the specific investors, but we can tell you the corporation is registered with the Nueces County District Clerk in the Phillipines.
We don't know their plans for the property.
But, while the Association of Realtors is calling Destination Bayfront a chance to increase property values out there, officials at the Nueces County Appraisal District says there's just no way of knowing that for sure.
"Nueces county, as a whole, is in a very good position for economic growth," said Chief Appraiser Ronnie Canales.
The question is where will that growth develop? Warren Andrich with the Corpus Christi Association of Realtors says if we build Destination Bayfront the properties around it will see a big boom. "We believe in the increase of property values that are going to result from this," said Andrich.
It's an area that, right now, though, has not seen much. Canales explains that property values go up with increased sales. "It's been a pretty stable market, it hasn't been a market to where you've seen a lot of increase in value because of sales or anything like that," said Canales of the bayfront.
One area he expects to see big growth is an area about 20 miles away on the island. "Once Schlitterbahn gets there, once it's completed, I think you'll be able to see the trend of growth within the next 2-3 years," Canales said.
Now many wonder if we will see that growth take off in downtown Corpus Christi if Destination Bayfront becomes reality.
"We will see 1,800 to 2,500 additional living units in downtown Corpus Christi, that in and of itself projects a lot of money," Andrich said.
But, Canales says only time will tell. "If we don't have sales, documented sales, then those property values are not going to go up," said Canales, "it's still a big guess, because you still don't know what a park can do to stimulate economic growth."
Again, Point Grey has the biggest share of undeveloped land along the project site. Guinn-Soin, a local doctor, has 3 undeveloped properties worth $1.7 million, he did not return calls today on his plans for the land and Bayfront Medical Plaza, based in New Orleans owns two properties in the area, valued about $1.4 million.

U.K.'s National Institute For Health And Clinical Evidence Accepts Alimera Sciences' ILUVIEN® Subgroup Data For Review
ATLANTA, Sept. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Alimera Sciences, Inc., (NASDAQ: ALIM) (Alimera), a biopharmaceutical company that specializes in the research, development and commercialization of prescription ophthalmic pharmaceuticals, today announced that the United Kingdom's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has accepted for consideration additional data in the form of an appendix to Alimera's comments on the preliminary Appraisal Consultation Document (ACD) previously issued by NICE for the ILUVIEN ® Single Technology Appraisal (STA).
NICE's Appraisal Committee, which issued the preliminary ACD in August, is currently evaluating the cost-effectiveness of ILUVIEN for the treatment of chronic diabetic macular edema (DME) considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies.
On September 4, 2012, NICE informed Alimera that the Appraisal Committee required adequate time to thoroughly review the additional data. Therefore, the Second Appraisal Committee meeting, previously scheduled for September 11, 2012, has been rescheduled for October 11, 2012. According to NICE's Guide to the STA, new data is only accepted if it is likely to affect the provisional recommendations in the ACD.
As Alimera was drafting its response to the ACD, the company determined that ILUVIEN was more cost-effective in a pseudophakic patient subgroup of Alimera's FAME™ Study, providing additional support to its ACD response submission. As a result of diabetes, age or previous DME treatments, each patient in this subgroup had an artificial lens in his or her eye at the start of the study. Patients with an artificial lens cannot further develop a cataract in the treated eye due to their exposure to the corticosteroid delivered via ILUVIEN. These patients will not experience the transient reduction in visual acuity as the result of cataract development that occurred in some patients during the first two years of the FAME Study, nor will they incur the cost associated with cataract surgery.

Production Hurts Exxon Mobil, but Shares Remain Solid
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- What can be said about Exxon Mobil (XOM) that has not already been said? Not many companies today can match Exxon's historical return on capital and strong dividends.
Exxon's market position in energy remains as solid as ever, but rising costs and soft production have affected its growth. Accordingly, profitability hasn't been as robust.
That said, compared with rivals such as Chevron (CVX) and BP (BP), Exxon's results haven't been that bad. And the shares are not expensive at current levels.
First-Quarter Results Weren't Great but Reflect Industry Challenges
First-quarter results topped the average estimates from analysts, and the company managed to grow earnings. On the other hand, bears point out it was the seventh consecutive quarter of year-over-year production declines. They also note that much of the earnings growth came from Exxon's chemical business, not from oil and gas, the primary revenue drivers.Indeed, total revenue declined 12% in the first quarter, to $108.8 billion from $124.1 billion a year earlier. And oil and gas production declined 4% year over year. There was a 2% sequential increase in oil and gas production, but that didn't help all that much.
Natural gas production was down 6% internationally. But Exxon was able to make up for this in crude oil production, which was better than expected even though it fell 1% year over year. It was also a surprise that Exxon's profits advanced by 0.5%, given that the company's "realization" for oil and gas (the price it receives for these commodities) declined 1% from a year earlier. Granted, these results weren't stellar. Understandably, investors were a bit peeved. But Exxon is not alone in its energy struggles.
I've written at length about Schlumberger (SLB) and Halliburton (HAL) and the challenges they face with weak oil prices and soft rig counts, which contributed to their poor sequential performances. Exxon was no exception. Besides, even though Exxon is the world's largest oil producer, replenishing oil and gas consumption, which again fell 6% worldwide, is no easy task. Understandably, there is now a bearish tenor regarding Exxon's performance. But to expect better results in this poor energy environment, you might as well ask for oil to turn into wine. Miracles aren't happening. Execution should be the focus. To that end, Exxon did as well as expected.

Dr. Lam,
I am sitting here wondering how I am going to go to my son's wedding looking pretty fugley. It is a terrible feeling to have had plastic surgery and look worse than before , actually, not look like yourself. I am going to see people from the past and new soon to be relatives. I am sure they would love me anyway, but I would love to make a nice first impression!
Here is the problem. I can't get an appointment to see you before the wedding, sept. 13th. I did get an appointment in october but that is a little late for the wedding.
I can come anytime next week. Yes .... it is probably mission impossible, BUT, I thought I would give it a try . Begging you to see if you could do some magic.
What do you think? to much to ask? I know it's not your job, but I had to give it a try..
my best,

Elton John's enduring appeal
By ALLAN WIGNEY -- Ottawa Sun
"The great thing about rock and roll is that someone like me can be a star." — Elton John
He was an unlikely teen idol. A balding, bespectacled butterball, Elton John capitalized on the rise of 1970s glam by taking every excessive aspect of rock 'n' roll that much further. Visually, he wore outlandish costumes — everything from sporting ostrich feathers to dressing as a duck or the Statue of Liberty — and glasses that were an optician's nightmare (or dream). Musically, he crafted supremely catchy tunes and proved equally adept at the prettiest of pop ballads and the most ferocious boogie-driven rockers. Offstage, he became one of rock 'n' roll's most controversial figures, though not always intentionally or justly so.
He pulled John Lennon out of the shadows and helped to ease Guns N' Roses into them. He hesitantly advanced the cause of the gay-rights movement and paid a hefty, if temporary, price for it. He has engaged in a lengthy love-hate relationship with the media that has likely both helped and hindered his remarkable endurance as a performer. Between 1970 and 1996, Elton John placed at least one single per year in the Top 40. Today, he stands as one of the 10 best-selling recording artists in history.
And he's only getting started.
Reginald Kenneth Dwight had seen little of his RAF squadron-leader father when his parents divorced in 1962. Born March 25, 1947 in Pinner, England, young Reginald had been raised by his mother. And by music.
Restless youngster
The restless youngster had begun studying piano at age four and had earned a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music at 11. He would not complete those studies, however, abandoning the Royal Academy in his teens in favour of daytime gofer work at a music publishing company and nighttime stints with a rock 'n' roll group, The Corvettes. Like virtually every other English combo of the early 1960s, of course, The Corvettes soon mutated into an R&B combo.
The renamed Bluesology made something of a name for themselves in and around Middlesex, backing touring R&B stars like The Isley Brothers and Patti LaBelle's Bluebelles, before settling into a regular gig as Long John Baldry's band. Steady work, but hardly the sort of role for a budding frontman like Reg Dwight. Attempts to join nascent London bands King Crimson and Gentle Giant failed, as did an audition for Liberty Records, but the latter setback would ultimately prove beneficial when a Liberty exec suggested Dwight contact an aspiring lyricist by the name of Bernie Taupin.
Taupin and John soon developed a words-and-music formula that continues to serve them well 39 years later. Yet, Empty Sky, the 1968 debut album by Elton Hercules John — a name culled from Bluesology saxophonist Elton Dean, Long John Baldry and the dog on a popular British sitcom — was barely noticed by the record-buying public.
The addition of producer Gus Dudgeon and arranger Paul Buckmaster to the John-Taupin team came in time for a second album, simply titled Elton John. And the perfect pop of Your Song, one of Elton John's tracks, catapulted the would-be Jerry Lee Lewis wildman to instant sentimental singer-songwriter fame on both sides of the Atlantic.
The thematic Tumbleweed Connection and Madman Across the Water furthered the cause, while a live album culled from a November 1970 concert hinted at the power of an Elton John live show. By the time of Honky Chateau, the 1972 album propelled by the success of the singles Honky Cat and Rocket Man, John was resting comfortably atop the charts.
Seven straight No. 1s
It would be the first of seven consecutive John albums to reach No. 1 before the close of 1975, as the songwriter, his lyricist and a band that included (as it includes today) guitarist Davey Johnstone and drummer Nigel Olsson maintained a tireless schedule. Between 1972 and 1976, John placed 15 singles in the Top 10, while a 16th, Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting, only narrowly missed that mark. The albums — among them Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and the autobiographical Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy — were consistently electric and eclectic. Nothing, it seemed, could stop rock 'n' roll's greatest star.
"There is nothing wrong with going to bed with someone of your own sex," John said in a 1976 Rolling Stone interview entitled "Elton's Frank Talk." After all, he said, he had done it himself, on more than one occasion.
And with that, seemingly, everything changed. John had admitted only to being bisexual, as a tentative means of testing the homophobic waters. And his career nearly drowned as a result.
The streak had to end anyway, of course. And John likely welcomed the opportunity to slow his prolific pace to one major release per year. Faced with a combination of exhaustion, a cruel backlash to his frank talk and a deteriorating relationship with Taupin, John announced in 1977 that he was retiring from live performances.
The "retirement" (like many others since) lasted but a few months. But when John returned, it was without Taupin. A Single Man, a lacklustre album cursed with B-grade lyrics by former advertising-jingle writer Gary Osborne, brought forth no hits. A disco-flavoured followup, Victim of Love, fared worse.
"Every artist who makes it goes through a period where it seems they're invincible," John would tell Joe Smith for the author's book Off the Record: An Oral History of Popular Music. "We've seen it with Phil Collins, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Prince … It just seems like they can't fail. And then suddenly everything levels off. I knew it when it started happening to me. I was really tired … I knew I was peaking. I knew it was time for someone else to take over. You have to be realistic about these things."
Subdued words from the famously flashy Captain Fantastic. But it would take several years for John to make a concerted effort to reclaim some of what was once his. It began modestly enough with 1980's 21 at 33 and Taupin's return, and gathered steam with the promising Too Low for Zero. But if the albums were patchy, singles like Little Jeannie, I'm Still Standing, I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues and Sad Songs (Say so Much) served notice that John and Taupin could still make with the hits. In 1987, John even saw a live recording of the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road ode to Marilyn Monroe, Candle in the Wind, finally have its moment to shine. It would have another a decade later.
But while success continued on the singles charts, John's personal life was in turmoil. Years of drug and alcohol abuse, plus serious throat problems, took their toll through the remainder of the 1980s. In 1988, John auctioned off his complete collection of records, costumes and other memorabilia, bidding farewell not so much to the past as to the man who now likened himself to Elvis Presley in the King's final days.
The 1990s, however, signaled a return. Fresh from a stint at a Chicago hospital, a sober John established a charitable foundation to combat AIDS, underwent hair-replacement surgery and set about expanding his canon through soundtracks and stage musicals, sometimes working with lyricist Tim Rice. The Lion King and its Oscar-winning Can You Feel the Love Tonight would be the first; AIDA, Billy Elliot and others would follow.
So, too, would induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1994), knighthood (1998), fine returns to form like Songs from the West Coast and the underrated 2004 release Peachtree Road. Plus, of course, the biggest hit of John's 40-year career, which would come in 1997 with one last return to Candle in the Wind, this time rewritten as a eulogy to Princess Diana.
Today, as John continues to tour when not performing at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, he and Taupin occasionally drop hints of a sequel to Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy that will tell the story of their last 30 years together.
There is no shortage of material to draw from.
"I am Elton John full-time now; I don't even think of myself as Reg Dwight anymore," the artist told Joe Smith in 1988.
"But Reg might be surfacing again … Maybe Reg will make an album, and he'll be the one putting songs out. There is still a lot to come out of me, and I do desperately want a platinum album again, but for now I feel very fortunate to have lasted so long."

These were easy to assemble and looked great.
Best Uses
I used these for a beach theme decor. They are lightwieght paper and I liked that about them, since when hung with fishing line they moved in the slightest breeze and looked very realistic. They were economical enough that I could order several packages and use them everywhere. I recommend scotch taping the wing to the body of the bird, so that they stay straight when being hung.
Hung with string they look lifelike. Sway with the slightest breeze.

Tropical Storm Isaac & T.D. Ten afternoon update
POSTED: Wednesday, August 22, 2012 - 1:00pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, August 22, 2012 - 3:27pm
BATON ROUGE, La. (NBC33) — Afternoon Tropical Update: Tropical Storm Isaac is quickly moving west around 21 mph. He will head over the Leeward Islands and into the Caribbean Sea today. The National Hurricane Center predicts Isaac will near Puerto Rico tomorrow, then turn toward Dominican Republic and Haiti late Thursday into Friday as a tropical storm or Category 1 hurricane. After Friday, areas in Cuba and South Florida should monitor the track closely as Isaac will near them this weekend.
It is still too soon to give us an "all-clear" with this cyclone moving toward Louisiana. Tropical models keep shifting westward. However, it does appear that a Florida landfall is more likely.
Isaac Stats (As of 1:00 p.m. CST):
Location: 15.8N 60.2W
Maximum Sustained Winds: 45 mph
Pressure: 1006 mb
Moving: West at 21 mph
Also brewing in the tropics is Tropical Depression Ten. It formed Wednesday morning in the Atlantic Basin, behind Tropical Storm Isaac, and is moving WNW around 16 mph. It could become Tropical Storm Joyce later today. However, we are less concerned about this cyclone because it will not be affecting any land masses over the next few days.
Tropical Depression Ten Stats (As of 1:00 p.m. CST):
Location: 12.4N 36.3W
Maximum Sustained Winds: 35 mph
Pressure: 1007 mb
Moving: WNW at 16 mph

joffrey is not impressed by your request.
The fact that Gabe continued to refer to him as David O'Russell, not David O. Russell, made him more loveable in my eyes and therefore less guilty.
Guys, I think you missed the obvious…
More like David NO Russell!!!!
If Mac and Cheese is a black thing, Paula Deen is my Malcolm X.

i fall into the did not like camp. i felt the whole thing was masturbatory. from the play within a play stuff and the burning house to the over 2 hour running time it all seemed way too self indulgent. having said that, i am really looking forward to frank or francis, which is basically about what i'm doing now.
i really hope they meet back by 9:30. i mean they made it their beeswax to.

it's clear that he-man does not support the legalization of marriage between an arch enemy and his feline "companion".
as fun (relatively speaking) as this ep was, it made me think of when january jones hosted. remember that guys!?! YEESH!
shy ronnie is not impressed.
so i'm considering pitching a reality show starring balloon boy and hiccup girl titled, "don't burst my bubble (with that gun you were going to shoot me with)". thoughts?
also it seems that the digital shorts are, dare i say it, too weird (aka not funny?)? all in all though it seems like samberg is barely a cast member anymore.
and the french kids sketch made me uncomfortable. like i should be getting what this is making fun of but i'm not. oh well.
needless to say, Titanic II is going to make Titanic look like the actual Titanic.
as videogum's expert on being black, i will say this. the thought of a crime such as the one jeremy alleges was done to him sounds more believable when the criminals are black. similar to years ago when susan smith drove her two kids into a body of water and blamed it on a general description of a black guy. in their minds, the obvious response to this would be "of course it happened, a crazy black guy did it!" that inherent thought, does, in my opinion, make them racist.
I think we can all assume that the reason Gabe wasn't able to watch TNTV was because he was OBVIOUSLY at the NFL Draft cheering on his favorite sportsball team.
This episode clearly built the way for the newest LOST spin off starring Desmond and Charlie called, "Get Him to the Looking Glass Station"
i'm not trying to sound like ass dan up in here or anything (ahhh yeah!) but did anyone else notice martin/dateline clearly messed up one of the icp lyrics in the beginning? on the screen it says "from doom and either way bass boom" and any well respecting member of team juggalo who hasn't lost his hearing from constant faygo showers should know it says "from doom to 808 bass boom".

And then come crawling back for his own selfish, egotistical, "every-man persona" needs. FOR SHAME JAY, FOR SHAME.

Man Sues State To Increase Speed Limit
Updated On: Jul 01 2007 02:57:40 AM EDT
A man with a need for speed has an unusual tactic for beating his speeding tickets -- raise the speed limit.
Larry Lemay has been ticketed for speeding four times in 2007.
Rather than reduce his speed, Lemay is suing New Hampshire to study traffic and speed limits to see whether limits could be raised.
Lemay is also asking a judge to order the state to pay for his legal fees.
The cost of Lemay's fees and the study would add up to about $1,800.
Lemay said he believes New Hampshire's speed limits are intentionally set low so the state can cash in on tickets from speeders.

Updated: May 7, 2013 12:45PM
Former Comcast SportsNet Chicago reporter Susannah Collins made a statement Tuesday about her recent departure.
Collins and CSN parted ways last week after an on-air slip led to more intense scrutiny of her background, which revealed some racy videos she had produced in the past.
Collins posted this statement to a web site:
"As most of you know by now, I had a slip-up last week on the air while covering the Blackhawks playoff series. As a result of the attention it received, an old web-based sports comedy series I participated in several years ago came to light. The intention of that show was to present a satirical, tongue-in-cheek approach to sports but, unfortunately, some of the material it contained was off-color and offensive. I understand why some may have been offended by it and for this I am truly sorry. To be clear, that show in no way reflects my personal opinions.
"It has always been my dream to cover my hometown teams on the network I loved watching. I have worked tirelessly to develop my skills as a sports reporter, anchor and host, and I want to thank the city of Chicago for allowing me that opportunity. The outpouring of support I have received is overwhelming and it will remain in my heart, as will Chicago. Always."
Collins was hired in 2012 and replaced Sarah Kustok when she left for the YES Network in New York.
