The screw element is composed of a threaded sleeve (1), a locknut (2) and a cone screw (3). The threaded sleeve (1) has an edge (12) and following the edge (12) a portion (14) that is free of threads; the cone screw (3) has a head (35), a threaded shaft (36) and, between head (35) and threaded shaft (36), a portion (33) that is free of threads; the locknut (2) has an internal cone (22) whose portion having the smallest diameter is provided with an internal thread (23) that is adapted to the threaded shaft (36) of the cone screw (3). The threaded sleeve (36) of the cone screw (3) is screwed into the threaded shaft (1) and its head (35) is supported in the internal cone (22).
1. A screw element for connecting a multi-part dental prosthesis, comprising:
(a) a hollow sleeve having
(1) a terminal edge surrounding an open end of the sleeve;
(2) a first, internally threadless length portion extending from said end;
(3) a second length portion adjoining said first length portion and being remote from said open end;
(4) a thread provided in said second length portion;
(b) a locknut being separate from said hollow sleeve; said locknut having
(1) opposite first and second open ends;
(2) a passage extending from said first to said second open end and having a conical wall tapering towards said second open end;
(3) a thread provided in said conical wall along a length portion thereof in a zone of said second end; and
(4) a terminal edge defining said second open end; and
(c) a screw having
(1) a screw head provided with a conical outer wall for complementally fitting into the conical wall of said locknut;
(2) a first, threadless length portion extending from said screw head;
(3) a second length portion adjoining said first length portion of said screw and being remote from said screw head; and
(4) a thread provided in said second length portion of said screw; said thread of said screw matching with said thread of said locknut and with the thread of said sleeve; in an untightened state in which said thread of said screw has passed beyond said thread of said locknut, said screw is slidable in and is held captive by said locknut between said second length portion of said screw and said screw head; and in a tightened state said thread of said screw is in a threaded engagement with said thread of said sleeve, and said conical wall of said screw head is in engagement with said conical wall of said locknut and said terminal edge of said locknut is pressured against said terminal edge of said sleeve.
The invention relates to a screw element for screwing together a multi-part dental prosthesis, with the screw element including a threaded sleeve, a locknut lying against the edge of the threaded sleeve and a cone screw whose threaded shaft is screwed into the threaded sleeve and whose head is supported in an interior cone of the locknut.
Screw elements composed of two or more individual components are employed to screw together multi-part dental prostheses, for example divided bridges and implant superstructures. Screw elements of this type are composed of a threaded sleeve, a locknut and a cone screw. The threaded sleeve as well as the threaded shaft of the cone screw are provided with a thread over their entire length The locknut has a cylindrical exterior surface and a conical interior surface, but no thread. The prior art screw elements have the following drawbacks: the dentist intending to screw together the components of the multi-part dental prosthesis, for example the bridge elements, in the mouth of his patient by means of the cone screw encounters the difficulty of reliably introducing the cone screw, which has a small diameter, into the threaded sleeve. In everyday practice it happens that the patient swallows the screw.
This is where the invention intends to come to the aid. It is the object of the invention to configure a screw element of this type so that the cone screw can be connected with the locknut and is held captive in it without interfering with the function of the screw element. According to the invention, this is accomplished in that the threaded sleeve, following its edge, and the cone screw, between its head and its threaded shaft, are each provided with a portion that is free of threads and, in the region in which its interior cone has the smallest diameter, the locknut is provided with an internal thread that is adapted to the threaded shaft of the cone screw.
In contrast to the prior art locknuts, the locknut of the invention is provided with an internal thread on its interior cone, in the region where it has the smallest diameter, into which the threaded shaft of the cone screw can be screwed. Only at the end opposite its head is the threaded shaft of the cone screw is provided with an external thread that can be screwed into the internal thread of the locknut. This external thread is screwed through the locknut. Once the external thread has passed through the locknut, the cone screw is held, on the one hand, displaceably but, on the other hand, captive in the locknut. When the locknut is placed onto the threaded sleeve, the external thread of the cone screw lies in the portion of the threaded sleeve which, as provided by the invention, is free of threads.
The invention accomplishes that the cone screw will not inadvertently fall out of the threaded sleeve. If several screw elements are employed, it is possible to simultaneously put on several locknuts.
One embodiment of the invention is illustrated in th drawing and will be described in greater detail below. It is shown, in an enlarged illustration, in:
FIG. 1, an axial sectional view of a screw element in the non-mounted state;
FIG. 2, the screw element shown in FIG. 1 in the mounted state.
The screw element selected as the exemplary embodiment includes a threaded sleeve 1. A locknut 2 is in contact with one end face of threaded sleeve 1. Threaded sleeve 1 and locknut 2 are held in contact with one another by a cone screw 3 that is screwed into threaded sleeve 1 and is supported at locknut 2.
Threaded sleeve 1 is essentially configured as a hollow cylinder. At one end, it is closed by a bottom 11, at the opposite end, its edge 12, it is open. At a distance from bottom 11, threaded sleeve 1 is provided with an internal thread 13. The internal thread is guided only over part of the interior wall of threaded sleeve 1. A portion 14 without thread follows internal thread 13 up to edge 12.
The lower end face 21 of locknut 2 is in contact with the edge 12 of threaded sleeve 1. Locknut 2 has an internal cone 22 which tapers toward threaded sleeve 1. I the region of its smallest diameter, locknut 2 is provided with an internal thread 23. Toward the exterior, locknut 2 is also configured as an external cone 24 which changes, on the side facing away from threaded sleeve 1, into an edge bead 25.
Cone screw 3 has a head 35 that is provided with an external cone 31. External cone 31 is adapted to the internal cone 22 of locknut 2. Moreover, the head 35 of cone screw 3 is provided with a slot 32 to accommodate a screwing tool. In the portion 33 following head 35, cone screw 3 is configured without a thread. At its end opposite external cone 31, cone screw 3 is provided with a threaded shaft 36 having an external thread 34. External thread 34 is adapted to the internal thread 23 of locknut 2 and to the internal thread 13 of sleeve 1.
By means of its external thread 34, cone screw 3 is initially screwed through the internal thread 23 of locknut 2. Once the entire threaded shaft 36 has passed through locknut 2, cone screw 3 can be moved in the axial direction within locknut 2. However, cone screw 3 is held captive in locknut 2. Once the lower end face 21 of locknut 2 has been placed onto the edge 12 of threaded sleeve 1, the threaded shaft 36 of cone screw 3 is disposed in the portion 14 of threaded sleeve 1 that is free of threads. To connect the components of the screw element and thus the components of a dental prosthesis, it is merely necessary to screw the thread 34 of cone screw 3 into the internal thread 13 of threaded sleeve 1 until the external cone 31 of cone screw 3 lies against the internal cone 22 of locknut 2. The components of the multi-part dental prosthesis are then connected with one another.
The multi-part dental prosthesis may be, for example, a divided bridge or an implant superstructure. Threaded sleeve 1 is attached to a crown to be cemented in or to a positioned implant. Locknut 2 is a component of a conditionally removable dental prosthesis or bridge element. Threaded sleeve 1 and locknut 2 are preferably composed of a castable alloy, for example of platinum and iridium.
The invention can be employed commercially in the field of dental prosthetics.

LV= Cup: Leicester Tigers run wild against under-strength Wasps
Last Updated: 26/01/13 5:51pm
Andy Forsyth makes some hard yards for Leicester Tigers
Holders Leicester ran in five tries to keep their LV= Cup hopes alive with a 34-8 victory over London Wasps at Welford Road.
The Tigers' tries came through Logovi'i Mulipola, Michael Noone, Mathew Tait and Vereniki Goneva, who crossed twice, with Dan Bowden kicking a conversion and a penalty and Matt Cornwell two conversions.
Wasps, who were understrength and have not won at Leicester since 2008, were outplayed for most of the game and scored a consolation try through replacement Hugo Southwell near the end to add to a penalty from Tommy Bell.
Wasps dominated possession early on but Leicester took the lead in the 18th minute when Samoa prop Mulipola drove over from a line-out, with Bowden adding the touchline conversion, then knocking over a penalty to put Leicester 10-0 ahead.
Wasps flanker Tinus Du Plessis was sin-binned five minutes from half-time for a professional foul at a ruck and Leicester took full advantage of the extra man by scoring from a line-out.
They drove to the line and Bowden caught Wasps napping with a great diagonal run down the blind side to create an easy try for Noone.
Bell finally put Wasps on the scoreboard with a 47th-minute penalty, and the visitors then repelled a promising Leicester attack by destroying their scrum.
Leicester centre Andy Forsyth created a great chance for winger Scott Hamilton but the Kiwi's inside pass near the line was intercepted.
With the game starting to open up, Leicester's former England back Tait started to have a bigger influence and he finished off a fine Leicester move with a 20-metre dash for the line.
Goneva scored Leicester's fourth try, converted by Cornwell before, with five minutes remaining, replacement Southwell salvaged some pride for Wasps with a try.
But Leicester had the last word as Goneva crossed again for their fifth try, with Cornwell knocking over the conversion.

Brilliant 1853 Arrows and Rays Quarter, MS641853 25C Arrows and Rays MS64 PCGS. There were five Seated Liberty silver coin types whose net silver values rose above their nominal (face) value by the early 1850s. The two smallest, the half dime and dime, had designs so small that when their net silver content was reduced, only small arrows at the date signified the reduction; there was no design room on the reverse for the ring of rays that the larger coins, the quarter and half dollar, also got. The silver dollar was exempted from the silver reduction by Congress. The cynic must wonder: Were congressmen paid in silver dollars, so that the extra silver content (compared to minor silver coins or gold dollars) would give them a pay raise?
After the weight reduction, many millions of Arrows/Arrows and Rays type coins spewed from the coinage presses in Philadelphia as well as, to a lesser extent, New Orleans. The Philadelphia Mint made more than 40 million minor silver coins in 1853, with the quarter dollar seeing the largest production, at 15 million-plus pieces. This is a brilliant example that has soft, frosted mint luster. The surfaces are remarkably clean with little to account for the MS64 grade.(Registry values: P5) (NGC ID# 23U4, PCGS# 5426)

TV REVIEW: 'Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles'
Even if the latest incarnation of the resilient "Terminator" franchise -- Look, Mom... No Ah-nold! -- weren't suddenly positioned as FOX's scripted salvation for the spring of 2008, it was still going to be a costly, high-risk, big-name gambit.
My immediate reaction, after watching the first two episodes of "Sarah Connor," is that the series is by no means a disaster. It isn't over-invested in sci-fi mythology and the transition to the small screen has been as smooth as one could hope, particularly in terms of the inevitably diminished production values. What the show lacks, at least thus far, is the sort of single-minded purpose that defined the two
With all three movies, you knew exactly what you were going to get, plot-wise. In the future, John Connor was going to be a great warrior in the human resistance against a group of technologically advanced robots. As a result, the the robots sent a series of increasingly advanced Terminators (
"Sarah Connor Chronicles," because it's designed to last for 15 or 50 or 100 episodes, can't afford to be that monomaniacal. Set a few years after "Terminator 2" (and taking slightly ludicrous steps at the end of the pilot to erase nearly all of the possibilities of the third movie), "SCC" finds justifiably paranoid Sarah (Lena Headey) and predictably whiney son John (
The "Terminator" films made these attacks on Sarah and John's lives look like shocking events, dreaded visits from Arnold Schwarzenegger that occurred every decade or so. The series takes a different approach, presenting the Connors as being constantly under siege, with the threat of death no more traumatic than changing schools or starting a new job. Ideally, the show becomes less a series of weekly chases and escapes from brutal robot slaughter and more a chronicle of how a single mother and her son attempt to live their lives when imminent death is like another member of the family. In a perfect world, the show would be almost like
The events of the last two movies (and the budgetary restrictions of the small screen) seem to have set back the Terminator cause by several decades, so our heroes' new adversaries are less like Loken and Patrick's liquid-metal terrors and more like the sort of stoic, boxy gadgets played by
Since the show is meant to be more intimate, a lot of pressure is on the stars. Headey's in a tough place, because while no individual actor put a permanent imprint on John Connor, Sarah was pretty thoroughly defined by Hamilton. That's why Dekker's wimpy, work-in-progress John is more in line with expectations than Headey's frazzled Sarah, who lacks the biceps and psychotic intensity we last saw in the character. The stand-out in early episodes is Glau, showcasing the same sort of deceptively passive deadpan mixed with physical grace that fans of "Firefly" came to love. It would be better for Glau if her feigned blandness didn't have to play opposite the blandness of her co-stars. I found myself wishing that Jones had more to do, that he would become a more intriguing Gerard to contrast the three-headed Kimble in the "Fugitive" dynamic.
Because encyclopedic knowledge of the franchise isn't required, "Sarah Connor Chronicles" should be able to lure in less initiated audiences, but some of those viewers may be turned off by the lack of a clear sense of what the show's week-to-week goals are going to be.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Feb. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Reynolds American Inc. (NYSE: RAI) announced today that R.J. Reynolds Tobacco C.V. (RJRTCV), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RAI, will receive a payment of euro 265.0 million (approximately $387.6 million) from Gallaher Limited (Gallaher), a JT International (JTI) Group company, resulting from the termination of the joint-venture agreement between RJRTCV and a Gallaher affiliate.
In accordance with the terms of the joint venture, RJRTCV will receive 40 percent of that total, euro 106.0 million (approximately $155.0 million), on or before April 20, 2008. Gallaher will pay the remaining 60 percent of the valuation amount in six equal annual installments of euro 26.5 million (approximately $38.8 million), beginning in April 2009. The dollar values reflect a euros-to-dollars exchange rate of 1.4625, calculated on the morning of Feb. 20, 2008.
After accounting for the company's cost basis and discounting the stream of future payments, RAI expects the payment to result in a pre-tax gain of approximately $300 million, which will be recorded in the first quarter of 2008.
The valuation payment results from last year's termination of R.J. Reynolds-Gallaher International Sarl, a Swiss joint venture that was formed by RJRTCV and a Gallaher affiliate in 2002. The joint venture marketed American- blend cigarettes primarily in Italy, France and Spain.
On April 18, 2007, an affiliate of Japan Tobacco Inc. acquired Gallaher
Group Plc, which constituted a change of control of Gallaher as defined by
the joint-venture agreement. In accordance with the terms of the agreement,
RJRTCV elected to terminate the joint venture prior to its expiration date.

Saints running back Mark Ingram selected at the bottom of the first round by New Orleans in 2011 has not been featured by the team early this season and could be another prominent recent draft pick to seek a change of scenery before the Week 8 trade deadline. The Colts made waves last week by acquiring Trent Richardson like Ingram a former Alabama star for a first-round pick (Richardson was selected third overall in 2012). While Richardson wasn't seeking a deal league sources believe Ingram could do so in the coming weeks with his role still nebulous in a crowded Saints backfield. Ingram is a power back who in college got better with more carries as he fed off the workload but he hasn't seemed a fit in New Orleans where Pierre Thomas remains a trusted veteran Darren Sproles is one of the best third-down backs in the NFL and they are currently carrying five backs on their roster. Ingram has just one year beyond 2013 left on his rookie contract -- he is set to make $1.4 million in ...

The Pro Bowl has for years still drawn large TV audiences, but only because it's an NFL event and whatever the NFL touches turns to gold. Now, they're looking to give the annual all-star game platinum status by making it more fan friendly. Dramatic changes are coming, starting this upcoming year in Hawaii. After 43 years of AFC vs. NFC, that's gone. Now, players will be elected broadly, not based on the conference they play in. Six quarterbacks, period. And then they'll be assigned teams via a draft, just like in the NHL. Those in charge of drafting players will be contest winners, alumni and top vote-getters. Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders will be the alumni captains in 2014. The draft will take place on Jan. 22 on NFL Network, giving the league-owned channel another chance to shoot fish in a barrel in prime time. The NFL has also decided to scrap kickoffs while giving defenses the ability to use cover-2 and press coverages. The game clock will run after incomplete passes outside of the final two minutes of the first half and the final five minutes of the second half. Additionally, a two-minute warning will be added to the end of each quarter, with the ball changing hands at the conclusion of all four of them. Random, but an interesting attempt to increase excitement. The NFL might be grasping at some straws here, but it really can't hurt to try something new. Nobody respects the Pro Bowl as is, and nobody will be offended by these changes. It's just a silly exhibition game anyway.

I don't care what ATI runs because mixed mode is included in DX9.
What you call standard DX9 is ATIs vision of DX9 which was adopted by MS. Nv3x was in development already back in those times.
No way to change anything in the design.
So i appreciate everything which Nvidia does to increase the performance.
And i hope Nvidia will be in business because i don't want ATI to get in the market position NV is. To bad memories from the past considering their crap products.

You can call them trailblazers
Most NBA teams don't exactly pore over stats -- but Portland has gone all-in
WIZARDS GUARD JORDAN CRAWFORD jabs right, takes a hard dribble left and launches a 30-foot jump shot. At this point, the Trail Blazers can only stare and hope. The score is tied 95-95 with 1.8 seconds left on the clock, and as the ball arches higher and higher, no one in the Rose Garden is concerned about tonight's missed screens, blown assignments or defensive breakdowns. Not now. Portland fans just want the ball to bound away and force overtime. Alas, the jumper splashes through the net, the horn sounds, the crowd groans and Crawford winds up at the bottom of a DC dog pile.
Despite emerging forward Nicolas Batum's first career triple-double, the Blazers lose their sixth straight game, seemingly done in by a buzzer beater. But Portland coach Terry Stotts knows better. He understands that the best way to defend a last-second shot is to make sure it never happens. With a defensive stop somewhere in the second quarter or a couple of easy buckets in the third, Stotts might have been emptying his bench in the final seconds rather than helplessly tracking the flight of a game-winning jumper. That's how the analytical mind works.
At the season's midpoint, the Blazers have fallen to 20-21 following a mind-numbing run of similar games; each of Portland's last 10 contests has been decided by six points or fewer, an NBA record. So at practice the next morning, an unusually bright Tuesday in Portland in late January, Stotts intends to spell out what his young team should focus on in the second half. He turns to a video screen that says "little things" in red block letters. Then the clips roll. Shooting guard Wesley Matthews is slow to get back on defense, resulting in a Wizards dunk. Center J.J. Hickson doesn't make contact on several screens.

text: http://androidforums.com – I'm currently on my parents plan and have unlimited data and don't plan on losing it. I use about 10 gb a month, so taking the hit or switching to tmo and getting throttled is not an option. So if ur on Sprint, how is their service and would you recommend a switch of u were me? It would cost me more in the long run, since id have to go on my own plan, but maybe I'd be better off without the frustration Verizon gives you (ditching unlimited data, forcing companies to lock their bootloaders, etc..). Is the service that bad on Sprint? (General)

Yesterday's Daily News brought word that Republican Senate candidate John Spencer thinks Hillary Clinton was ugly as a kid. "You ever see a picture of her back then? Whew," Spencer said to the reporter Ben Smith as the two flew to Rochester. "I don't know why Bill married her." In today's News, Hillary shot back. "I thought my high-school picture was cute," she said. Meantime, in Friday's Times, Spencer pointed out the drastically different lives they led back then. "She had flowers in her hair, and I had a rifle in my hand," he said, highlighting his time in Vietnam versus her time at Wellesley. All of which raises an obvious question: Who was better-looking in the sixties, Hillary in 1965 or Spencer in 1969? (Do your best to ignore Spencer's adorable puppy.)

Only one of the ice machines worked, the air conditioners would not cool, the pool was out of order and no effort was made to try and fix it during the three days we were there.
the air conditioner in room was not working. fan was the only thing working compressor would not kick in to cool room.
I wish the breakfast was a little more hearty. Scramble eggs, biscuits, sausage...just enjoy a more traditional style of breakfast.
just the pool!!
staff was rude , no one was helpful at all and For the cost I paid I EXPECTED MORE DONT STAY HERE !!
My bed was the most comfortable bed I have slept in. My pillows were great.
I really loved having free wifi. I loved the free breakfast. The food was great!!! I had the hamburger at the grill for supper one night.
Front desks clerks were very helpful.
The room was clean.
I appreciated the instant hot water in the tub/shower, with plenty of water pressure.
The air conditioner was effective.
I appreciated having a microwave oven and a refrigerator in the room, although we did not use them.
The hallway was not clean.
The dresser was in some disrepair, and was missing a drawer.
The door to our room had to be force-closed; this made me think that maybe the hinges were loose.
I was able to connect to the internet, but not able to use it, I guess because of very low speed.
No one responded to the chimes when I went to the front desk to check out, so I just dropped off my card/key at the desk and left.
I was concerned about the gallon milk jug, as opposed to individually packaged servings. (We did not eat or drink anything.)
We were traveling with our elderly mother and needed to stop due to really bad storms. So no research ahead of time was done. We got a room with 2 queen beds. It was clean, comfortable, and spacious for a reasonable price. Staff was really friendly and the breakfast the next morning was great. I would totally stay there again.
It was a nice room, but the key cards would no work right I had to go down the desk twice. I would have expected a nicer facility for the money I had to pay for the room. I would stay there again if I could get a better rate.
It was a stopover and we liked it enough to have stopped there twice.
The breakfast is good, but needs to be expanded. If you don't get there early, you might never have a place to sit.
In town for a wedding, staff was able to accommodate our needs for transportation as well. Very clean.
Heard another guest that came for the wedding was woken up at 2am by the staff and an intoxicated guest overriding the deadbolt to the room. Ooops.
Plumbing looked fragile in some showers.
Most comfortable bed ever. We enjoyed our stay immensely. The room was clean and comfortable. Large enough and updated. We will definitely stay here again when we return.
Ran out of hot water the first morning, but there was a girl's soccer team or cheerleading team in the hotel. I think everyone was taking showers at the same time. The second morning we had plenty of hot water.
There was dangerous ice all over the parking lot. This seems to be common all over the city. It was dangerous trying to get from the car to the door of the hotel.
Location to marina I was fishing from.
Extra fees outdated roomd
The pools and on site restaurants
Our room smelled a little weird, but I'm not sure the hotel could have done anything about it.
Seemed clean, and a good value for what we paid. The pool was good.
The bedspreads were rough and a little outdated.
Very neat and clean.
Was not informer they did not A Express .
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car hires can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us
Please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

What's the reason
For these scars that will never heal
Hearts that no longer feel
Eyes that can no longer see
What's the reason
For this child that will not survive
With all her dreams inside
Could she mean nothing to thee
And Jesus please tell me if you can recall
Just where you were when this sparrow did fall
What's the reason
Every tear isn't weighed the same
Could you have died in vain
If we have short memories
And Jesus would you then come down from your cross
Return every nail and say we are lost
And in the dark we seek your silent company
For each hope that arrives and fades from memory
Still after all this time our loss you won't concede
For in the dead of night the rumor is
Your hands they still bleed
Still bleed
Still bleed
Still bleed
It would seem then
That somehow you still trust
You have more faith than us
Perhaps that is how it should be"

I'm an avid reader of Shop-Eat-Surf because it's really the only online newsletter that I have found that is not only industry related, but also because it's not so "guy-centric." I find that a lot of the information I read on the site pertains to my business (as a swimwear designer) and keeps me up to date on what other companies and other women in the industry in general are doing which is not only inspiring but also helps me gauge the future direction of my business as well.

Details on Industry Insight.
Here's a summary:
Dockworkers stage slowdowns
I reported earlier this month that West Coast dock workers were working without a contract as of July 1 and that nobody expected a strike. Well, the workers have been staging slowdowns as negotiations continue.
Last week, the association that represents terminal operators and cargo carriers on the West Coast announced that worker slowdowns, which started in the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach earlier this month, have expanded to Oakland. The slowdown is unnerving some shippers because the Christmas rush is expected to start soon, according the WSJ.
Los Angeles and Long Beach remain the U.S.'s busiest combined port complex. A recent study by a professor at UC Berkeley said the downside of the just-in-time global-supply chain means trying to reroute cargo quickly is too difficult and costly for many shippers.
Some positive U.S. economic data
Orders for durable goods, or goods lasting more than three years, climbed 0.8 percent in June. While soft, economists took heart that the number was not terrible.
Another report showed that sales of single-family homes fell 0.6 percent in June, a smaller drop than expected.
A measure of business equipment spending increased 1.4 percent in June after falling in May. Year over year, the barometer has increased 3.8 percent, according the WSJ.
Finally, one consumer-sentiment index was 61.2 percent in July, up from 56.4 in June. Economists still believe consumer spending will be slow in the near to medium term.
Luxury good sales holding up
While consumer spending is slowing in many areas, luxury good sales in the U.S. are weathering the storm.
Hermés International reported last week that its sales between April and June grew 10 percent in the Americas, while the company that owns Cartier and Montblanc reported a six percent increase in the Americas for the same period.
Burberry Group sales in the Americas climbed 27 percent and wristwatch maker Patek Phillippe is on track to sell out of its entire U.S. inventory for the year.
At Saks Fifth Avenue, sales of trendy handbags have been soft while sales of high-end brands and branded jewelry continue to sell well.
The WSJ theorizes that luxury brands have been helped by their increased offering of entry level products, foreign tourists, and affluent Americans who are willing to pay for investment-grade luxury goods.
Europe data points to economic weakness
Several reports show that the 15-nation Euro Zone is hurting from high commodity costs, slowing global demand and the strong Euro.
A key survey of purchasing managers at 5,000 Euro Zone firms showed that activity such as new orders and output in the manufacturing and service sectors contracted for the second month in a row, hitting its lowest level since Nov. 2001.
Business confidence in Germany fell to the lowest level in June since Sept. 2005, while France's business climate index fell to a three-year low. Italy's business climate index hit its lowest level since Oct. 2001.
Other worrisome data includes Spain's unemployment rate rising to a three-year high of 10.4 percent in the second quarter as the country struggles with a real-estate bust.
Meanwhile, annual Euro-Zone inflation hit 4 percent in June, above the European Central Bank's preferred range of just below 2 percent. The European Central Bank had been predicting the Euro Zone economy would grow 1.8 percent in 2008 and 1.5 percent in 2009, but economists expect to the bank to downgrade those forecasts.
Outside the Euro Zone, retail sales in the U.K. in June fell 3.9 percent, their largest monthly fall since records began in 1986. Sweden's unemployment rate rose 8.1 percent in June from May's 5.9 percent rate.
U.S. mall developer targets Russia
Several action sports brands, including Quiksilver, are pushing into Russia.
So is U.S. mall developer Developers Diversified Realty Corp., which plans to build three malls a year in Russia and the Ukraine over the next seven years, the WSJ reports.
Russia's economy grew 8.1 percent in 2007, yet the amount of shopping space is relatively low. There, the volume of shopping space per 1,000 inhabitants makes up about 420 square feet. In the U.S., there is 25,758 square feet of shopping space available for every 1,000 people.
The Journal reports that 54 million square of new shopping space is scheduled to be completed in Russia over the next three years, the largest development pipeline of shopping center space in Europe.

Proposed amendments would put a 120-day cap on the number of days per year residents can rent out their homes or rooms in the city.
An Airbnb trip "doesn't end when you leave -- when you go home it changes you somehow," says head of engineering Mike Curtis.
The city's board of supervisors will decide next month whether to amend the "Airbnb law" that legalized short-term rentals in San Francisco.
The peer-to-peer home rental site rolls out a new tool that gives hosts recommendations on how to price their home each day of the year.
Comedy troupe Above Average released a promo video for Airbnb Express, which lets you pay to go through other people's belongings without having to sleep in their beds.
Brian Chesky says the peer-to-peer home rental site is doing so well that it doesn't need more investments. Despite that, an IPO doesn't look imminent.
The service for peer-to-peer home rentals sends a letter to all members of the New York State Legislature asking for the law to be changed to allow it to collect taxes on behalf of its hosts and guests.
A vacation rental site contends that newly signed ordinance violates the US Constitution and discriminates against non-permanent SF residents.
The Board of Supervisors votes to allow short-term rentals, ignoring Sen. Dianne Feinstein's warning that the law could be detrimental to the city.
The California senator pushes for city legislators to reject a law that would legalize short-term rentals and pave the way for apartment-sharing sites.

Recent St. Philip reviews
"We had a fantastic two weeks at this beautifully furnished and very spacious apartment. The residential street where it is located is very quiet and the beach is very close by. There is no night life but a couple of restaurants are within walking distance as is the Crane Resort. Everything is supplied including dishwasher and laundry detergent (no food) and the kitchen has all the cooking utensils you could want. A car is not necessary unless you want to go sightseeing, but even then you could take a taxi and have the driver do a tour for you."Guest: Ann F. Date of Stay: January 2015 Review Submitted: February 14, 2015View listing
"We were in Barbados for our second time and the first time we stayed at the Crane. We did so again for the first week, then decided to extend our stay by moving to the Hummingbird House at Bottom Bay. Upon our arrival, after being almost too pampered at the Crane, we were not sure of our surroundings in a modest, more remote neighborhood on the island. But a good night's sleep took care of that! The Hummingbird House is a clean, comfortable and convenient residence near a few beautiful beaches, and not too far from the Crane and shopping at Six Roads—but a car here is a must. We quickly met Jan and John, the caretakers who were also one of the first residents of this neighborhood, and they were delightful. The second night there we had a small barbecue for friends and they joined in the fun. John stopped by a couple of times after that to clean the pool, but never intrusive at all. The house has air conditioning but we never turned it on, as the breeze here is delightful. The house is fairly well equipped and the wifi was better than expected, but I wouldn't count on streaming your favorite movies... The kitchen is well equipped and having an outdoor shower really helped to keep the sand out of the house. The neighborhood has a lot of houses pretty close together, but was still very quiet for the most part. There are signs for video surveillance on the street light posts, but I'm not sure where they go to. We met other neighbors as well: a couple who do their own gardening offered us a huge bag of beautiful lettuce at a very reasonable price. Much better and cheaper than at the market. Don't let the local entrepreneurs at the beach bother you. If you want their help they'll charge a modest amount and be helpful and friendly. If you don't want their help, just smile and tell them you're fine and they'll leave you alone. Petty theft is the major crime problem on the island, so just keep your valuables at home or close to you on the beach. All in all, after our arrival hesitations, we found the house to be pleasant, comfortable; and the neighborhood to be welcoming and safe. Recommended."Guest: David A.

Monitor Pest ControlRead MoreThe inspiring trainers at each MetaBody location lead troops of workouteers in results-oriented workouts several times weekly. Sweat sessions utilize a variety of exercises and disciplines to produce full-body results in a supportive environment, ideal for beginners and hard-core core-hardeners alike. During any class, motivational instructors will use the instinctual distrust of routine to their advantage. Begin a day of litigating with a refreshing early-morning boot-camp session, or wind down by burning evidence and pounds with a late-evening yoga class. Muscles are kept guessing with new and challenging moves during each session, so participants never fall into a boring, ineffective routine, such as regular teeth brushing. In addition to the fitness classes, students receive a success guide to help prepare for imminent pound loss, a nutrition guide, and a $100 gift certificate for individual coaching. Because the pass sets a 10-class cap at any given location, roving fitness mavens can further shake up their workout regimens by vetting a series of classes or instructors that work best for them.1335 Wald RdNew Braunfels, TX US

The initial extended shield service scours the darkest nooks and most sinister crannies in living spaces to evict exoskeletal nuisances such as ants, roaches, and silverfish, as well as more exotic occupants such as mice, scorpions, and singing Matchbox cars (flea coverage not included). A 20-foot perimeter of outdoor pest coverage and an inspection for wood feasters and garbage eaters ensure homes are not surrounded by hostile insectoid hordes. For 45 minutes, homes are swathed in odor-free, nonhazardous chemicals designed to outmaneuver pesky arthropods. For an additional fee, homeowners can opt for alternative chemical-free or organic-chemical pest controls that use natural plant oils or eco-friendly solutions.15329 TradesmanSan Antonio, TX US

However, at EcoShield Pest Control, a team of specialists uses innovative, earth-friendly methods to remove pests from homes and businesses. That way, not only are the bugs gone, there is no unhealthy residue around the house. The service flushes these pests out of their temporary residences, leaving homes free of ants, wasps, spiders, and cockroaches.1800 Central Commerce CourtRound Rock, TX US

In addition to being the second leading cause of cancer death in men, prostate cancer can result in serious health problems in men who might die from other causes. Such problems include painful metastases, blockage of the urinary tract, and bone fractures. Dr. Samadi feels that due to these other conditions, assessing the worth of screening based on overall survival numbers alone is not advisable.
"Curing the patient of cancer is not the purpose of screening; it is the purpose of treatment. The mark of effective screening is the percentage of found instances of prostate cancer and how advanced the cancer is at the time of diagnosis," states Samadi, who then concluded, "The BMJ study does state that those men who received regular screening were discovered to have smaller tumors which were less likely to have spread. The detection of prostate cancer before it has metastasized plays a large role in the successful treatment of the disease and the prevention of non-fatal health concerns, such as painful metastases or spine fractures. This study, despite its conclusions about mortality rates, proves that regular PSA screening gives patients the best chance of detecting the disease while it is still curable. While there have been recent studies that call PSA testing into question, it's my opinion that it's currently one of the best tools that we have for a proper diagnosis of prostate cancer." - A position backed by information presented in the NEJM.

Note: For each of the games on my list, I've decided to limit them to only games I've played this year. I will be posting honorable mentions, games I want to play still, and games of 2015 that I'm excited for in a separate post at the end.
Released: 1.14.14
Developer: Stoic
Publisher: Versus Evil
The Banner Saga was a game that instantly caught my once I heard all the commotion surrounding their legal battle with King.com over their use of the word "Saga" (a completely ridiculous reason to try and sue another company, if you ask me). After researching the game a little bit and watching some gameplay, the way the animation was so fluid and yet so well-drawn really got me hyped to play it thinking that it was going to look that good for most of the game. That said, I was slightly disappointed to realize that some of the cutscenes didn't really offer much in the way of animation beyond walking, blinking, or perhaps an occasional gust of wind blowing some hair. Looking back though, I didn't even notice until about halfway through the game how they were doing what they were doing, mostly because I was (and still am) completely enamored by the way the game played.
I enjoyed XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and it has seen itself in my top 10 list before (2012? Already?), I think it's safe to say now that I enjoy turn-based combat. It offers much in the way of allowing some longer-game strategies to come into play (at least, for me personally). The isometric view sometimes is a hindrance, though, and needs to be adjustable for the next game, as I would constantly have a problem of wanting a character to move to a certain spot but accidentally selecting an entirely different character instead. With an intriguing combat system involving being able to do more damage with more health and the enemy having less armor, there's a constant balance of trying to pick your battles carefully before each engagement. The combat system is only one aspect of the gameplay though. The second aspect is the custom construction of the story you want to see played out, and considering the multiple paths you could go down versus how many are actually beneficial to the caravan. The final aspect of the gameplay is the management of the caravan itself. If you're able to keep morale up, you get some boosts in performance during battles later on (some of which could be to protect your caravan from thieves). The main way to keep morale up is two-fold: keeping people full and well-rested. There's also an interesting mechanic involving supplies, as the larger your caravan is, the quicker you use up supplies. Run out of supplies, and you'll be losing people to starvation.
I am a sucker for story. Having a good story along with good gameplay puts me in a happy place. So when I heard that the story of The Banner Saga changes based on your decisions (similarly to a previous personal game of the year, The Walking Dead), I was ready for my story to play out. I loved seeing the different reactions and ways you can go about shaping the story. It gives insight as to the writers' creative directions and how THEIR brains are working, and what they consider logical consequences for certain actions, given a set of rules in a world of their own making.
Speaking of which, the world they built and the aesthetics they surround it in are all spectacular works in their own right. Familiar yet still different, Yarl are basically giant men with horns that are known for their toughness, despite being consistently shunned by mankind. Dredge are silent killer stone creatures of old legend that are suddenly sprouting up left and right once again from the ground. The world has been in a state of constant daylight for years, and nobody knows why. It's from this point that you begin taking control of basically two characters, a yarl and a human, each on their separate path (though I'm pretty sure regardless of your choices they end up meeting at some point or another) to safety from the ever-increasing amount of dredge pouring out of the mountainsides.
The score accentuated the Nordic aesthetic well, weaving back and forth between horns, percussion, and vocals. You can listen to the full soundtrack here. I really enjoyed the punctuating effects the vocals and what sounded like tympani had on the horn-heavy sections as they built their way towards a crescendo.
Interested in learning more? Here's a link to the official IGN review.
I didn't review this game, but I'd give it a 9 out of 10. Incredibly good.

Hello everyone!
Since we received several requests about the status of Warzone 2100 on Desura, I would like to clarify:
The Warzone 2100 package for Desura was created by the Desura team and not by the Warzone 2100 Project. They do not maintain it anymore, and the Warzone 2100 Project never intended to do it. So unless a volunteer steps up, there will be no updates of Warzone 2100 for Desura in the near future.
Best regards,
the Warzone 2100 Project
This release doesn't bring anything really new, except for the usual bug fixes, and the addition of a mod.
This release doesn't bring anything really new, except for the usual bug fixes, and the addition of a mod.
The 1.11 mod for the retail Warzone 2100 1.10. It is inofficial and not recommended for online play. Not compatible with any of the new 2.x versions!
Original Warzone 2100 1.10 sourcecode by Pumpkin Studios/Eidos Interactive as released on December 6th 2004. Includes EditWorld. Not what the new 2.x...
The final official patch for the retail game. This version is still played on GameSpy. Not compatible with any of the new 2.x versions!
Newest bugfix release for the 2.0 series of Warzone 2100. Just very few new features, mostly bugfixes. - Windows version -
Put the RC version on Desura now, the graphics are better than ever (for this game).
I played this when I was 8! Holy crap. My first experience with RTS. *sigh*
How old are you now?
Wouldn't that be the 22nd century?
2100 is the 21st century. 2101 is the first year of the 22nd century.
2000-2100 is the 21st century my friend. So 2012 is the 12th year of the 21st century. If you remember when it was the 1900's it was the 20th century....
No, 2001-2100 is the 21st century. Year 2000 is still the 20th century.
that wouldnt strictly make sense, 2000-2100 being 21st, because then you could say 2100-2200 is 22nd, theres a crossover, and when the clock ticked over for the year 2000 we entered a new millenium, so, in short, surely the year 2100 WOUld be the 22nd century
Logic for the WIN! Also makes sense you consider that year 0-99 are considered the first century.
The point is there was no 'year 0'. That's why a century is counted from xy01 to x'y+1'00. Check on Wikipedia if you don't believe En.wikipedia.org
sorry, my mistake. I never knew that... Whoever said that games melt your mind is full of ****

Good pillow
I picked up the small and the medium pillow. Both seem like they will be comfortable for sleeping. They aren't tiny or feather weight but they are good sized and yet they compress to a manageable size. They seem durable. You really do need to open them up and leave them for at least 30 minutes before you plan to use them--the foam rubber pieces need to expand.
