The gripping account from an ex-con who went undercover to help the ATF infiltrate three of America's most violent biker gangs In exchange for a reduced sentence on his drug smuggling charges, Charles Falco infiltrated three of America's most violent biker gangs: the Vagos, Mongols, and Outlaws. In separate investigations that spanned years and coasts, Falco risked his life, suffering a fractured neck and a severely torn shoulder, working deep under cover to bring violent sociopaths to justice. His dedication was profound; he even served time in San Bernardino's Murder Unit and endured solitary confinement. He recorded confessions of gangland-style killings and nearly became a target himself before he sought refuge in the Witness Security Program. His efforts culminated in the seizure of hundreds of illegal firearms, drugs, stolen motorcycles, and sixty two arrests of members for assault, dismemberment, and murder. Executing one of this country's most successful RICO prosecutions and effectively crippling the criminal enterprise, Falco's engrossing account of the dangers of the biker underworld and justice is perfect for fans of FX's "Sons of Anarchy" as well as Hunter S. Thompson's classic "Hell's Angels."

Add voice overs and custome objects in foundry
While I have yet to have the time to experience foundry in depth, I have played various foundry missions and they are on par with some of the Crypic's in house mission.
These extraordinary authors goes far and beyond to give us regular players wonderful new story and missions to experience. They should be allow to add in some custom objects and voice over if they want to.
Of course there will be worries about abusing the system and copy right violation, so I suggest a premium reviewing system.
For a small fee, authors can have their map and added content go through a review by Cryptic or PWE (or even some part-timer working for them) to ensure the quality of these foundry mission. To reward the authors for their efforts, they will receive 125% worth of zen from the small fee if they pass the review and therefore publish their mission to a new 'Skilled authors' foundry category. However, if they failed the review, they'll get a detail reason explaining why and 75% worth of zen.
So if the fee is 10 USD to have your mission reviewed, you'll get 1250 zen back if you passed or 750 zen back if you failed. (I am going off of how 1000 zen are sold in retail stores for 10 USD)
They can even make an elite-foundry subscription with its own foundry veteran rewards program that unlock additional foundry assets.

Comment: What do people want? (Score 1) 445
I see this sort of news couched in discussions of "What do people
That's like asking "What kind of food do people really want?" when the reality is that people cluster around multiple options in the market.
With plenty of room for debate, there are multiple clusters of success in the mobile market today. For the sake of argument:
- safe, pretty, predictable, simple, stable, walled garden -- apple totally owns this ~20% of the market, populated mostly with 1+gen older iPhone devices
- predictable, pretty, open/powerful, cheap, with a walled garden that's easy to exit -- android devices mostly running 4.3 and prior
- powerful, predictable, pretty, walled garden that's easy to exit -- top-line android devices mostly running 4.4+
- purpose-built, totally walled, predictable, safe (and fugly), designed for easy remote mgmt by corp -- used to be owned by Blackberry
- totally walled, predictable, safe (and very pretty), designed for easy remote mgmt by corp -- top line windows mobile devices
From this view, Windows Mobile doesn't compete in or intersect much with the same success cluster as newer OR older clusters of Android. So you have to ask yourself, what does success look like for Windows mobile? Dominating the market that Blackberry/RIM dropped through their own mismanagement? Not being snide here, but I keep looking at WinOS devices, and see elegant solutions to problems that few people have or that are increasingly becoming solved by feature subsets of other clusters.

Male students on the decline at Ontario Veterinary College
The great gender shift in veterinary medicine is happening across the northern border, too, apparently. This fall, of the 114 veterinary students who entered the Ontario Veterinary College's Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Program in Guelph, 87 percent were women, according to the Toronto Star. And the gender shift that has slowly manifested itself over the past few decades is also reflected in how the school is staffed: The dean is a woman, but 60 percent of the faculty is male.
In order to encourage more men to enroll in the veterinary program, the school is careful to include images of men in recruitment materials, pamphlets, and videos. And when students are chosen to speak on behalf of the college at high school career fairs, male students are included.
Experts disagree on the reasons for the gender disparity. According to the college's diversity and careers coordinator, Elizabeth Lowenger, statistics show fewer men are earning higher education degrees—more than 60 percent of university graduates are women. However, men still want to go to veterinary school, she says, but fewer of them are studying science, and women are outperforming them.

Once again, timing meant that we had the campsite and beach frontage of beautiful clear blue waters almost to ourselves. We decided a day by the ocean was again required so stayed in Vieste the day after as well. We spent it doing all sorts of exciting things such ...

We arrived in Manfedonia just as it was getting dark to a 4 room B&B over looking the harbor in the center of town. That evening the streets were decorated and packed with people to celebrate the festival of St Francis. They even broadcast mass on street speakers all over town.

RKO Alden Theatre
165-16 Jamaica Avenue,
11 people favorited this theater
Located on Jamaica Avenue at 165th Street in the Jamaica section of Queens. The Shubert Jamaica Theatre was opened on December 31, 1928, as a live theatre for the Shubert Brothers. It was not a great success, and after a short period as a burlesque theatre, was soon renamed Alden Theatre, operating as a movie theatre. It was taken over by the RKO Theatres chain in the mid-1930's. It was last operated as a quad many years ago.

So is this place still intact? The retail seems to be just in the lobby.
In looking at Ed Solero's ad on the top of the page, I see 2 theatres in New Jersey that I actually worked at as a projectionist years ago. The Ritz in Elizabeth and the Royal in Perth Amboy, where my father also worked, and I was working the last day it was opened, July 13, 1988.
Hi, I just found this wonderful site and here's my story. In June of 1960 upon completion of our freshman year at Richmond Hill HS, my friend Alan Wood and I went to EVERY movie theatre in Jamaica looking for work. Alan was hired but I had to wait until September when I turned 16. We were hired by the manager, Mr. LaRocca. Some of the people who were already working there included HEAD Usher, Jimmy Ward, two lovely old matrons (who loved to drink), Tony Sacco, porter, Malverna, cashier, Patricia, the candy counter girl and an elderly doorman. Alan and I quickly became friends with everyone especially Jimmy Ward who was 18 and could proof us at the local bar ajacent to the 165th St. train station, The Paddock Bar. We continued working there thru graduation in June of 1963. During that time we had our friends/classmates Sonny Spiller, his girl friend Rosann DeGruccio and my almost girl friend, Emma Haines. Being an usher is a lonely job, often times boring after you have seen Gypsy 40 times! So part of the fun was exploring the old vaudville back stage dressing rooms where we would find old movie posters, accounting ledgers with hand written accounts of weekly takes from the different stage shows and films. The stage itself was a wonderful array(?) of electrical switches and ropes for the curtains and scenery. Lastly, if Brooklyn Jim is around, I went to Saint Michael's in East New York.
I doubt the interior is still intact. I remember going to a DMV office located in what probably was the auditorium. As I recall the lobby was located on Jamaica and the theatre on the side street. Does anyone know what the interior was like?
What's wrong with that? We need more photos and less of some of the comments.
I think TT's point that visitors to this site can easily overlook the picture sections and just go straight to the comment section is well taken and that it makes sense to remind us of this resourse. (I know that I was quite slow in appreciating the value of the photo section when CT was upgraded.) So let's both encourage the posting of new pictures as well as good comments in going forward.
On Monday 1 January 1951, Bela "Dracula" Lugosi presented his in person Horror and Magic Stage show at RKO Alden. Currently I am conducting research on all things Lugosi; if anyone out there actually saw this show and/or has memorabilia (poster, handbill, photos) related to this show, please contact Bill at Thanks in advance for any assistance!
I believe that Bela Lugosi did the same show at the RKO Keith's in Richmond Hill.

I had the MISFORTUNE of working as a projectionist at the Alden for a few years after it was "quaded". The motor vehicle office was NOT in the theatre building, it was a separate NEW building.

These are great balms. I loved the black cherry, I just ordered the Vata (Almond Cardamon Rose scent) and it smells like ginger. I'm disappointed there is no rose or almond! My next to-try will be Earl Grey. There flavors are so unique! I love companies that produce unique products like this for a great price point.

I am VERY fussy about my lip balms! There's a lot out there that tend to do the exact opposite of what they are suppose to and dry my lips out. I have come to terms with the fact that I have sensitive lips. The Hurraw Moon Balm is my absolute favorite lip balm of all time. I apply at night before I go to bed and wake up with soft lips every morning! I never have to worry about waking with dry lips with this little guy around! It's my HG lip balm for sure!!!!!!!

I don't go anywhere without out of one these close by! The texture is perfect, melts in well and smooths the lips so it is perfect under or on top of a drier lipstick. The early grey scent is addictively relaxing.

Thanks to one of my fave clothing store (American Apparel), I got one of these little suckers for free with a promo that was going on.... I chose grapefruit, and glad I did!!!! It smells so good and isn't overpowering, Lip balm form is more rectangular than circular (like most lip balms), It glides on soo smoothly, lasts up 6 hours but even after it wears off my lips still feel moisturized.....Also it makes my already-full lips look even fuller and juicy( adds a slight tint as well)....i thought it was just me but I got many compliments!!! Also the organic ingredients are a huge plus, definitely up there with Burt's Bees

These are wonderful - I'm very picky about lip balms, and have tried many, many. I used to use Caudalie, which was fantastic until they reformulated last year, sadly. After that, I figured I would try to find a balm that was good and more reasonably priced. Hurraw! These have a lovely slip on the lips, and they moisturize well. The Moon Balm is great for overnight hydration. The others need to be reapplied during the day, but I haven't had any dryness from them, which I've experienced with other brands. I have enjoyed the various flavors, which are a nice pick-me-up, and not overwhelming. My favorite so far is Coconut, but I've enjoyed Earl Grey and Vanilla Bean (and Green Tea, Vata, Cherry, and Almond ). The customer service from their website also deserves big raves - always prompt shipping, great communication about orders, nicely wrapped, and they've included freebies, as well (and they always seem to magically know which balm I *wish* I had ordered, and include that one for free). Big thumbs up!

Love love love!! This was my first time ordering from them and I received my package in about 3 days! On my invoice someone wrote notes such as "love this product" and that a balm I ordered was fresh. It made the order more personal and they even gave me a free almond balm for free!! Overall I had such a good experience with them :) And lets not forget on how amazing the product is! I ordered mint, moon balm, vanilla bean, and almond (which was my free one). The scents are not overpowering and it moisturizes my lips so well!! Waaaayyy better than eos chapsticks! Im so incredibly happy with this purchase :)

I purchased the Hurraw SPF 15 Sun Balm for daily sun protection, but it turned out to be very whitening, which really doesn't look great. It's not that easy to find in Canada either. I might repurchase, but only because I'm still looking for the perfect everyday lip balm with spf.

A low cost connector for coupling a fiber optic wave guide with a semiconductor emitter and detector device is described which positions the wave guide and the detector in mutually perpendicular orientation so that the detector device may be directly connected to a printed circuit wiring board with the wave guide exiting the connector parallel to the board. Locating and positioning means with the connector allow a particularly low cost molded semiconductor package to be employed without modification for misaligning of the package halves.
1. An adapter for connecting an optoelectronic semiconductor device in efficient radiation-coupling relation with a fiber optic waveguide comprising a one-piece plastic body having an externally threaded cylindrical portion provided with a coaxial frustoconical first chamber for receiving the end portion of a fiber optic waveguide,
said body having a second chamber of generally rectangular cross section having a permanently open outer end for direct insertion and withdrawal of a semiconductor device,
said second chamber being arranged generally orthogonal to said first chamber for removable insertion of the semiconductor device therein and communicating adjacent the inner end of one of its sidewalls with said first chamber,
first position-determining projections on the interior sidewalls of said second chamber arranged and adapted for engagement with a semiconductor device inserted in said second chamber so as to align the optoelectronic operative portion of the semiconductor device installed in said second chamber with a fiber optic waveguide installed in said first chamber,
and second position-determining projections on the inner walls of said second chamber frictionally engageable with a semiconductor device inserted therein to determine the spacing of said device from the end of an optical fiber installed in said first chamber.
This invention relates in general to fiber optic connectors and more particularly to a low cost coupler for joining a fiber optic waveguide with an emitter or detector device.
As the cost of producing fiber optic waveguide as well as the cost of producing emitter and detector devices declines, many new applications for such waveguide and devices which heretofore have been impractical, primarily because of high cost, are being recognized. In order to take advantage of the unique attributes of the fiber optic medium such as noise immunity and low attenuation, for the transmission of information in such cost-sensitive applications, it is necessary to provide a low cost, high performance coupler for interfacing such devices with fiber optic waveguides.
Common to virtually all prior art couplers has been their use of relatively expensive cylindrical lensed metal can emitter or detector device packages disposed in coaxial relationship with the fiber optic waveguide. In such couplers the waveguide extends from the connector along the common axis in one direction while the device leads extend parallel to the axis in the opposite direction. In many applications, such as where circuit board mounting of the coupler assembly is desired with the fiber optic waveguide disposed parallel to the board surface, it is necessary to form a right angle bend either in the device leads or in the waveguide itself thus either increasing the attenuation where the waveguide is bent, or adding an additional assembly step where the device leads are bent.
A further disadvantage of known connectors is that the structural complexity thereof in order to insure alignment between the free end of the fiber optic waveguide and the active portion of the semiconductor device, is high and the tolerances which must be achieved increase the cost of the connector. Further, it is disadvantageous for the emitter or detector device to physically touch the free end of the fiber optic waveguide inasmush as the waveguide may easily be scratched or displaced both reducing the efficiency of coupling. Accordingly, the package must be designed to provide the proper spacing between the device and the free end of the waveguide. Still further, the free end of the waveguide must be accurately aligned with the active portion of the device in order to maximize the transfer of energy therebetween. Precise locating structures are required which further add to the cost of such connectors.
A lower cost semiconductor emitter or detector is available in a plastic package which may contain a recessed lens. Such packages expose a light sensitive portion or light emitting portion of a semiconductor device housed therein through a major face of a body having a generally rectangular cross section. Two or more electrical leads extend from a minor face of the body. Heretofore, such device packages have been incompatible with available fiber optic connectors and have not been usable in conjunction with fiber optic waveguides.
It is an object of this invention to provide a low cost fiber optic waveguide to emitter or detector device coupling assembly which permits the orthogonal juxtapositioning of the waveguide and the device for increased ease of mounting the connector.
It is another object of this invention to provide a fiber optic waveguide to device connector assembly which exhibits substantial mechanical simplification over prior art devices and requires only a single device aligning surface.
It is further object of this invention to provide a fiber optic waveguide to device coupler which is compatible with low cost, rectangular device packages.
Briefly stated and in accordance with a presently preferred aspect of this invention a fiber-optic-waveguide to emitter or detector device coupler includes a waveguide receiving chamber having a first open end for receiving a waveguide assembly, and means for securing said waveguide assembly to the connector. A second chamber, orthogonal to the first chamber, and communicating therewith through a first opening is provided in the connector body for receiving a low cost rectangular cross section semiconductor emitter or detector device along an axis perpendicular to the axis of the fiber optic assembly receiving chamber. The second chamber is preferably of rectangular cross section and may be slightly enlarged at the open end thereof to facilitate automatic insertion of the semiconductor device. The second chamber is further provided with a penetration determining first surface at the inner end thereof and spaced a predetermined distance from the first opening and one or more locating projections on the back and side walls of the chamber so that upon insertion of a semiconductor device into the second chamber, an active portion of the device is aligned in said first opening with a free end of the fiber optic waveguide. The connector is preferably provided with a mounting flanges extending from the body portion in a direction orthogonal to both the first and second chambers, the mounting flange being provided with holes therethrough for accepting mounting fasteners. The connector may thereby be bolted or otherwise secured directly to a circuit board or the like through which board the electrical leads of the emitter or detector device may conveniently pass for connection to ancillary circuits.
The features of the invention which are believed to be novel are pointed out with particularity in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, both as to its organization and method of operation together with further objects and advantages thereof may best be understood by reference to the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing in which:
FIGS. 1-3 are side, front and top views of a fiber optic coupler assembly in accordance with this invention.
FIGS. 4 & 5 illustrate a semiconductor emitter or detector device of the type with which this invention is designed to operate.
Referring now to FIGS. 1-3, wherein like elements are designated by like reference numerals, a fiber optic waveguide to semiconductor emitter or detector device coupler assembly is designated generally at 10. The coupler is preferably formed of plastic or other similar low cost easily manufactured material by any well known method for forming such materials such as molding or the like. Coupler 10 includes a main body portion 12 which defines two cavities therein, a waveguide receiving first cavity 14 for receiving a fiber optic waveguide assembly and a second cavity 16 for receiving a semiconductor device. It is a feature of this invention that semiconductor emitters and detectors may be interchangeably inserted into the same coupler assembly without the need for modification thereof. Hereinafter device shall refer to either emitters or detectors. Waveguide receiving chamber 14 includes a first frusto-conical portion 18 and a second cylindrical portion 20. Frusto-conical portion 18 is operative to receive a free end of a fiber optic waveguide plug assembly and to guide the same into engagement with connector 10. Preferably the plug assembly includes a ferrule portion having a shape corresponding to the shape of chamber 14 and which, in operation, is engaged in relatively tight fitting relationship therewith. Locking means such as threaded portion 22 of connector 10 are adapted to mate with a complimentary locking portion of the plug assembly for semi-permanent attachment thereto.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that while the particular shape of first chamber 14 is selected herein to be compatible with a commonly employed family of fiber optic connectors as exemplified by the Optimate series of connectors manufactured by AMP, Inc., variations in the particular form of input cavity 14 may be made by those skilled in the art to accommodate other types of plugs or ferrules.
Connector body 10 further includes semiconductor device receiving chamber 16 therein of generally rectangular cross section and disposed in orthogonal relation to waveguide assembly receiving chamber 14. Preferably, device receiving chamber 16 has a generally rectangular cross section and may conveniently be slightly flared towards a device receiving open end 24 having a somewhat enlarged rectangular cross section for enhancing the automatic insertion of devices into chamber 16. Chambers 14 and 16 communicate through open end 26 of cylindrical portion 20 of fiber optic waveguide assembly receiving chamber 14. While it is presently preferred to provide an opening 26 coextensive with the end dimensions of cylindrical region 20, a smaller opening defined, for example, by an iris member (not shown) may be provided if desired. Device receiving chamber 16 further includes penetration determining surface 28 disposed at the innermost end of chamber 16 and spaced a predetermined distance D from the center of opening 26. Surface 28 is shaped to mate with an upper locating surface of the semiconductor device with which connector 10 is employed. Upper surface 30 of chamber 16 is slightly inclined in an upward direction joining penetration determining surface 28 with recess 32. Recess 32 is preferably provided for receiving, in non interference relationship, an upwardly extending portion of a device inserted into chamber 16 which need not, therefore, be precisely dimensionally controlled. Similarly, the rear portion of chamber 16 is enlarged laterally to provide a device misalignment relief portion 39 of chamber 16 and the forward portion is provided with locating projections 33 and 35 on the side walls thereof for centering the active portion of the device in opening 26. A similar locating projection 37 is positioned on rear wall 36 of chamber 16 for urging the device against surface 28 and against the forward surface of chamber 16.
Connector 10 is further provided with first and second mounting flanges 54 and 56 extending from the body of connector 10 on either side of device receiving opening 24. Preferably flanges 54 and 56 are provided with first and second openings 58 and 60 therein for receiving fastner means such as screws, rivets, bolts or the like.
Connector 10 further includes lead receiving recess 34 preferably disposed on rear wall 36 thereof for allowing one or more electrical leads of the semiconductor device to be bent to a position out of line with the remaining lead or leads such as is required by certain patterns of circuit board traces. For example, where the semiconductor detector device is a transistor having three leads including a base lead as well as a collector and emitter lead connected to an external circuit, typically a triangular shaped pattern of holes for receiving such leads is provided on a circuit board which requires that where a collinear lead arrangement is provided in the detector package that one of the leads be bent from the collinear position for attachment to the circuit board.
Referring now to FIG. 4, a semiconductor device 38, either an emitter or detector, of the type with which the connector of this invention is intended to function, is illustrated. The device includes a body portion 40 having an aperture 42 therein which is preferably a lensed aperture communicating with an active portion 44 of a semiconductor device located within the body. Two or more leads generally designated 46 extend from one end of the body and are internally connected to the semiconductor device in a conventional manner. The device includes an upper locating surface 48 from which surface aperture 42 is spaced a predetermined distance D identical to the distance D illustrated in FIGS. 1-3.
It is convenient to manufacture devices such as device 38 by attaching the semiconductor element to a lead frame and molding a plastic body around said lead frame and said element by conventional molding techniques. Such molding processes generally include inserting the lead frame with device attached thereto into a first mold half, closing the mold with a second mold half and injecting a plastic molding compound into the cavity formed thereby. It is a feature of such a molding process that while alignment between the lead frame and the lower mold half may be easily maintained, precise alignment between the upper and lower mold halves may vary somewhat and in fact it is desirable to have the tolerance thereon be relatively noncritical so as to minimize the cost of the mold and molding operation. Where a misalignment of the mold halves occurs a body such as illustrated in FIG. 5 may result wherein the rear portion of the body overlaps the forward portion in some direction. The degree of overlap is exaggerated in the Figure for purposes of illustration. Such overlapping of the mold halves may produce body portion 50 which extends above surface 48 and which is accommodated in connector 10 by recessed portion 32. It will be appreciated that FIG. 5 represents an exemplary overlap possibility, the others being the case where back portion 50 of the body is recessed, at the top surface thereof from the front portion and the cases of overlap to the sides, left or right and various combinations of top/bottom, left/right misalignment. Similar accommodation in misalignment relief chamber 39, therefore, is provided in the coupler assembly for left/right misalignment of the back mold half.
Note that critical spacing with the waveguide is maintained by the device being urged towards the front wall of the chamber by projection 37.
While this invention has been described in connection with a presently preferred embodiment thereof, it will be recognized by those skilled in the art that certain modification and changes may be made therein without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is intended to be defined solely by the appended claims.

Call (239) 275-7722
Lately, you've noticed your young child's primary teeth don't appear to be coming in straight. Is it a problem?
The answer to that question is best answered by an early orthodontic evaluation performed by an orthodontist. It's advisable for a child as young as 7 to undergo such an exam.
While a child's primary teeth have a short life span of a few years, that doesn't make them less important than the permanent teeth that replace them. In fact, they're extremely influential for permanent tooth development — each one serves as a guide for its replacement to erupt in a proper position. A future malocclusion (bad bite) that becomes more apparent later in life would have been well underway years before.
Orthodontists have the training and expertise to spot these emerging problems in their early stages. Early detection can reduce the extent — and costliness — of future orthodontic treatment by introducing preventative or interceptive measures — even while there's still a mix of primary and permanent teeth in the mouth. For example, a child wearing a simple type of retainer that influences the development of the bite could minimize or even correct a growing malocclusion.
You can also take advantage of opportunities to discover potential orthodontic problems early through a general or pediatric dentist. By having regular dental cleanings and checkups, the dentist might observe early bite development that should be reviewed by an orthodontist. If not, it's still a good idea to undergo an orthodontic evaluation no later than age 7.
Given the stage of jaw and facial structure development, waiting until puberty to focus on orthodontic problems may be too late for some problems — and much more expensive than if caught and treated earlier. Getting ahead of these issues earlier in your child's dental development will help ensure they'll have a healthy bite throughout their life.
If you would like more information on early orthodontic monitoring, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine articles "Early Orthodontic Evaluation" and "Preventative & Cost Saving Orthodontics."
Orthodontics can produce an amazing smile transformation. With today's advanced appliances and techniques even the most difficult malocclusions (bad bites) can be overcome. All of this innovation, however, depends on one basic anatomical fact: though firmly set in the mouth, our teeth can still move.
Teeth are actually held in place by the periodontal ligament, a strong, elastic tissue that attaches to them through tiny collagen fibers on one side of the ligament and to the jawbone with similar fibers on the other side. When pressure is placed against a tooth, the bone on the opposite side of the force begins to dissolve (resorb), allowing the tooth to move. As it moves, new bone is built up behind the tooth, to stabilize it. Orthodontists take advantage of this natural mechanism through orthodontic hardware like braces that applies pressure in the desired direction of movement, while the ligament and bone do the rest.
There is, though, a downside to this process. The teeth, bone and gum tissues can contain a kind of "memory" for the former natural position of the teeth. Over time, the lower front teeth tend to take a gradual migratory movement back towards their original position. Also, as we age the lower front teeth may crowd each other as there is a genetic influence for teeth to move to the midline of the face, causing a pressure that allows the skinny lower front teeth to slip behind each other. As a result of both of these tendencies, corrected teeth may retreat from their new positions.
To stop these tendencies, we use an appliance known as a retainer after braces or other hardware is removed. As the name implies, this appliance "retains" the teeth in their new position. For structural "memory," the retainer will keep the teeth in their new position until the impulse to return to the old one has faded, about eighteen months. Retainers can also slow or stop the natural genetic influence of movement, but it may mean wearing a retainer for an indefinite period, especially individuals who've undergone orthodontic treatment later in life.
The length of time you'll need to wear a retainer after braces — and what type, whether a removable appliance or one permanently attached — will depend on a number of factors including the type of malocclusion, your individual mouth structure and age. We'll recommend the best option that ensures the best chance of keeping your teeth in their new position.
If you would like more information on retainers after orthodontic treatment, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Why Orthodontic Retainers?"
Compared to traditional braces, orthodontic clear aligners seem miraculous in many ways, almost too good to be true. You may be wondering if they really work. The answer is yes — but they are not for everyone.
Clear orthodontic aligners are an alternative to traditional braces that are used to move your teeth and transform your smile without much interference to your daily life. They are removable trays made of a clear plastic material that is essentially invisible.
When using aligners, a sequence of slightly different trays is custom-made to fit over your teeth. You must wear each one 20 hours a day for two weeks before changing to the next in the series. The aligners are computer generated, designed by state-of-the-art techniques based on models and images of your own teeth. They work because slight changes in the sequential aligners gradually shift your teeth. If they are worn consistently, the process takes from six months to two or three years.
Advantages over traditional braces are:
Clear aligners are a good solution for correcting mild to moderately crowded or incorrectly spaced teeth. They are most effective if your back teeth already fit together properly. Clear aligners are usually effective in correcting simpler or tipping movements of teeth in two dimensions. For more complex movements, traditional braces may be required. Clear aligners are usually recommended for adults whose teeth and jaws are fully developed, and not for children.
Traditional braces are fixed brackets attached to the teeth through which narrow, flexible wires are threaded. They may be necessary if your teeth do not meet properly, creating too much overbite or underbite. Closing spaces where teeth are missing, rotating teeth, or other complicated situations probably make you a better candidate for traditional braces.
Each particular situation is unique. To find out if clear aligners are right for you, make an appointment with us for an assessment and diagnosis of your own situation. For more information see the Dear Doctor magazine article "Clear Orthodontic Aligners."
OK, so you've been getting orthodontic treatment for what seems like a long time, and finally, your braces are about to come off! Now you're home free, right?
Well, almost… but now comes the final part of your treatment: the retention phase. That means you'll need to wear a retainer. Most people find that a retainer is more comfortable than braces — but because it is often removable, there's the temptation to just leave it off. Don't do it! Here are the top five reasons why you should always wear your retainer as instructed:
1) A retainer helps to make your teeth stable in their new positions.
Your teeth aren't rigidly set in stone (or in bone) — instead, they are held in place by a hammock-like set of ligaments, and the bone that surrounds them is somewhat pliable. That's a good thing… because, otherwise, they would be even harder to move! But it means that it will take some time for the bone and ligament around the teeth to re-form and stabilize in its new position. A retainer holds them in position while that is happening.
2) If you don't wear it, your brand-new smile may not stay looking the way it should.
Did you know that your bone and gum tissue have some "memory?" Unfortunately, it's not the kind that could help you on a science quiz — but teeth can "remember" where they used to be located… and, if you leave them alone, they may try and go back there! A major goal of the retainer is to keep your new smile looking great! If you don't wear it, and your teeth shift back, you risk losing all the time (and money) you invested.
3) There are different types of retainers available; one of them might be just right for you.
At one time, all retainers were made of pink plastic and silvery wire, and were removable. That kind is still available, but now you may have a choice of different colors or patterns — you might even be able to customize yours! Another alternative that may be appropriate is a clear retainer that fits over your teeth, making it nearly invisible. In some cases, you can have a thin wire bonded to the inside of the teeth instead of a removable retainer. It doesn't show, and you don't have to worry about taking it out.
4) As time goes on, you'll probably need to wear your retainer less and less.
At first, you'll probably need to wear your retainer all the time, but after a while you may only have to wear it at night — a lot easier to manage! Think of it as a way of easing yourself out of orthodontic treatment — and into a brand-new smile. The retention stage also helps your teeth avoid damage by allowing the process to end slowly and gently.
5) Lots of celebrities wear them.
If we know who, we aren't telling — but let's just say that several young entertainers and a recently married British Prince have worn retainers, or are still wearing them. So, you're in good company!
If you would like more information about orthodontic retainers, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine articles "Why Orthodontic Retainers?" and "The Importance of Orthodontic Retainers."
Is there a single orthodontic appliance that can help your child get a wider, better-looking smile, correct problems with the bite, make room in a crowded upper jaw for new teeth to erupt (come in)... and shorten the overall time he or she will need to wear braces? The answer is yes: It's the palatal expander, a device that works with the natural growth patterns of a child's mouth, and offers dramatic results.
What's a palatal expander? Basically, it's a custom-made orthodontic appliance that fits between the rows of back teeth at the top (roof) of the mouth, close to the palate. After it has been put in place, it can be tensioned with a special key. Because it is contained inside the mouth, it's invisible when worn — but its benefits are easy to see.
How does it work? The palatal expander takes advantage of the fact that the left and right halves of a child's upper jaw bone don't completely fuse (knit together) until sometime after puberty. Until that happens, the upper jaw is relatively soft and easy to manipulate. When tension is applied, the palatal expander gently moves the bones apart, just like braces do for teeth. Then new bone tissue naturally fills in the space.
The appliance is tightened daily for a few weeks — while spacing improves dramatically — and then it's left on for several weeks more to stabilize the expansion. The total time a child needs to wear it is generally 3-6 months. After that, a set of braces can be put on if needed. So, what's so great about a palatal expander?
For one thing, the device can correct a crossbite, which occurs when the back top teeth bite inside (instead of outside) the bottom teeth. For another, expanding the upper jaw can relieve the condition known as crowding, which happens when the jaw isn't big enough to accommodate all the teeth. A related situation — impacted teeth — occurs when a tooth that hasn't yet erupted is blocked by another tooth above it. Both these conditions formerly required tooth extraction: an invasive and sometimes complicated procedure. Both can now be remedied by a palatal expander.
But maybe the biggest plus to a youngster — where a month can seem like an age — is the prospect of having to wear braces for less time. And that alone is a good reason to smile.
If you have questions about palatal expanders, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can learn more in the Dear Doctor magazine articles "Palatal Expanders" and "The Magic of Orthodontics."

It is Data Privacy Day, a day organized by privacy advocates to call attention to the risks to us all from the use of personal information. The advocates don't lack for outlets for their fears: whether it is a company developing new features based on social network data or scientists identifying anonymous individuals based on genomic data, privacy issues continue to make headlines. And accompanying these news stories are grumblings and misgivings from privacy advocates lamenting technological progress and the inevitable demise of our culture and commerce should we continue down this path unabated.

The number of cars made in Britain for UK motorists slumped by just over a fifth in February although the total built for export went up, according to new official figures.
The figures released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) showed that in February 133,730 cars were made in the UK - 2.7% less than during the same month last year.
Manufacturing for the home market was 20.8% down on the total for February 2013, the society said.
But it said 3.5% more cars were made for the export market in February 2014, with the value of the average exported car having risen by more than 70% to over £20,000 in the past seven years.
In total 1.4% less cars were built in the UK during the first two months of 2014 than in January and February last year.
Mike Hawes, SMMT chief executive, said the first two months of 2014 had seen overall UK car manufacturing dip "marginally due to forecast product cycle changes".
He said the increasing value of exported cars highlighted the sector's importance to the UK economy.
