Dental radiographs provide practitioners with a tremendous amount of information. The most important thing you can do to increase the quality of dental care in your practice is to use dental radiography when evaluating patients presented for routine dental care or dental problems. In addition, the AAHA Dental Care Guidelines for Dogs and Cats state that preoperative and postoperative dental radiographs are mandated for all extractions.1 Furthermore, standard radiographic views of the skull are inadequate, and full-mouth dental radiographs are an essential step in dental cleaning and are necessary for accurate oral evaluation and diagnosis.
In this article, I'll provide information to help you avoid common dental radiography errors and to perfect your dental radiography techniques by reviewing the basics of positioning, exposure, and development, including how to capture hard-to-image teeth in dogs and cats.
To obtain a diagnostic radiograph, it is crucial to get the patient, film, and beam head in just the right position and set the correct amount of X-ray exposure. Follow this systematic approach.
Step 1: Patient positioning
The first step in creating high-quality dental images is to ensure correct patient positioning.2-6 Sand bags, V-shaped troughs or holders, and other implements will aid in stability and patient placement. Make sure the area of interest is appropriately positioned in the radiographic beam. Except in rare instances, the object or tooth to be radiographed is positioned on the up side. To help you determine the bisecting angles, position the patient as follows:
Once an operator is proficient in visualizing the correct bisecting angle, several maxillary images can be obtained with the patient in lateral recumbency, which avoids repositioning the patient numerous times during procedures.
Step 2: Film placement
Film placement in veterinary dentistry can be challenging because of the anatomy of the tooth roots and the inability to see the roots. Correct film placement minimizes retakes.
Step 3: Positioning the beam head
Accurate beam head placement in relation to the patient and film is the most challenging aspect of veterinary dental radiography. However, once correct positioning is mastered, dental radiography becomes much easier and more efficient.
There are two common techniques for positioning the beam head in dental radiography—the parallel and the bisecting angle techniques.
Parallel technique. By strict definition, this technique is used only on the mandibular premolar and molar teeth. All other teeth have anatomical structures (palate or mandibular symphysis) that preclude parallel film placement. For this technique, place the film parallel to the tooth and perpendicular to the X-ray beam (Figure 3).7 This technique is similar to standard radiographic techniques for other parts of the body (e.g. spine, thorax). The parallel technique provides the most accurate image.
Step 4: Setting the exposure
If you are using a computer-controlled system,** set the controls for the species, size of the patient, and tooth to be imaged. If the setting is proper and the exposure is incorrect, the easiest way to make corrections is to change the f setting. By pressing the f button, both numbers in the windows will go up. The one on the left is the f number, and the one on the right is the exposure time. If you continue to press the button, it will continue to increase the exposure time until the f number reaches 9, when it will markedly decrease and the f number will go back to 1. If the radiograph is overexposed (too dark), decrease the f number by 1. If it is underexposed (too light), increase the number by 1. Continue this process until you have correct film exposure. Generally, the f number will be the same for all radiographs on a given machine.
Step 5: Exposing the radiograph
It is strongly recommended that everyone leave the room before exposing the radiograph to reduce X-ray exposure. If this is not possible, stand at least 6 ft away and to the side of the tube head—not in front of or behind it—at a 90-to 130-degree angle to the primary beam. Some practices use outdated human dental X-ray units. These units are not recommended because of the increased radiation exposure (scatter) and, in some cases, the inability to achieve a short enough exposure time for direct digital systems. Regardless of the type of unit used, regular inspections and radiographic monitoring should be performed.
Most dental radiography units have a hand-held switch. When exposing radiographs, if you release finger pressure on the switch during the exposure, the production of X-rays will stop. On a manually adjusted dental radiography unit, this will result in an underexposed or light radiograph, while on a computer-controlled dental radiography unit, an error message will illuminate, and you must restart the process. Make sure to press the button until the machine stops beeping. When using a digital system, this will be a short time.
The various types of teeth in dogs and cats are best imaged by using differing patient positions and projection angles.3,8,9 The techniques listed below are for mesaticephalic dogs and cats. Dolichocephalic and especially brachycephalic breeds may require a slight to marked difference in angles.
Mandibular premolars and molars
Views of the mandibular premolars and molars typically use the parallel technique, which is the most basic veterinary dental radiographic technique.6 An exception to this may be the first and second premolars in dogs and the third premolars in cats because in certain breeds the interference of the mandibular symphysis makes exposing the apices of these teeth impossible with the parallel technique.8 The alternate technique for these teeth is discussed in the "Mesial mandibular premolar teeth" section.
Mandibular incisors and canines
All six mandibular incisors and both mandibular canines can be exposed on the same film in cats and small-to medium-breed dogs.8,9 In some cases, the exposure time may need to be decreased for the incisors, although the angle is the same. Large-breed dogs (and also medium breeds if using digital sensors) will generally require one film for the canines and one for the incisors.9 The angle technique required for these views is a slight modification of the parallel technique.
An important point to consider when imaging the canines and incisors is that the roots curve backward to nearly a 45-degree angle in many cases. Consequently, the roots and crowns have markedly different angles. Since the roots are typically the area of interest, use the angle of the root (not the crown) for your bisecting angle calculation.8,9 Because of the anatomical angle of incisor and canine roots, the technique required for imaging these teeth is similar to the parallel technique.
Also keep in mind that the length of canine teeth is often underestimated. The tip (apex) of the canine roots ends over the mesial root of the second premolar. It is easy for a novice to miss the apices of the root. To ensure imaging the entire canine tooth, place the distal edge of the film behind the second premolar.8,9
In large-breed dogs, the small size of the dental film may require the incisors to be exposed separately from the canines. In this case, the first view is taken with the front edge of the film sticking out just in front of the incisors. This film will image the incisors. To image the entire canine root, place the film so that the back edge is beyond the level of the second premolar. In larger breeds, this view does not typically image the coronal area of the incisors. Note that there may be a difference in exposure for these two views.
Maxillary incisors
The bisecting angle technique is used for imaging the maxillary incisors.7 In cats and most small-breed dogs, all six incisors can be exposed on one film. In large-breed dogs, left-and right-side views may need to be radiographed separately, especially if using digital sensors. In certain dogs (particularly dolichocephalic breeds), the lateral incisors may need to be imaged separately since they will be superimposed on the canines.9 In this case, move the tube head in the horizontal plane to properly image the lateral incisors.
As with the mandibular canines and incisors, the maxillary incisor roots curve backward to nearly a 45-degree angle in many cases.8,9 This means the roots have markedly different angles than do the crowns. Since the roots are typically the area of interest, remember to use the angle of the root and not the angle of the crown for your bisecting angle calculation.
In some cases, the lateral incisor may be superimposed over the canine. Correct this overlap by keeping the tube head at the same angle in the rostrocaudal plane and rotating it about 30 degrees laterally in the horizontal plane.
Maxillary canines
Maxillary molars and premolars
Certain teeth in dogs and cats are more difficult to image and require specialized imaging techniques.
Maxillary fourth premolar in dogs
To image the mesial roots of the maxillary fourth premolar separately, the tube head must be rotated around the dog's head in the horizontal plane. This is the most difficult technique in dogs because two precise angles are necessary to create an accurate image. Proper positioning will separate the mesial roots so they can be visualized independently.3,9
This technique uses the SLOB rule, which stands for same-lingual/opposite-buccal.5,6 The more buccal (or labial) object will move in the opposite direction as the tube shift, whereas the more lingual (or palatal) object will move in the same direction as the tube shift. This is also known as the tube shift technique.7 Two techniques can be used to create a good image.
Maxillary fourth premolar in cats
In veterinary dental radiography, the most notable difference between dogs and cats is the technique required for imaging the maxillary cheek teeth.8 In dogs, high-quality radiographs of these teeth can be obtained with the standard bisecting angle technique. In cats, however, the zygomatic arch does not allow a clear view of the third and fourth premolars since the arch will be superimposed over these roots.3,8 Because of this limitation, two additional techniques are now being used to get a clear image of these tooth roots in cats—the extraoral technique and the acute angle technique.
Next, place a radiolucent gag (e.g. a syringe) between ipsilateral canines to open the mouth relatively wide. Slightly rotate the patient's head so that the mandible is about 20 degrees above the maxilla. Then position the tube head so it points into the oral cavity, such that the cusp tips of the opposite arcade will be imaged about 3 mm below the root apices of the arcade to be imaged. The angle produced is about 25 degrees from perpendicular, which then creates the approximately 45-degree angle necessary to accurately depict the root length.12 Variation of the angle depends on the anatomy of the particular patient.
With the extraoral technique, the zygomatic arch is visualized apical to the tooth roots, giving a clear picture of the entire root system. Splitting the tooth roots (SLOB rule) is difficult to achieve in this view. In cases in which this is critical, use the acute angle technique instead.
An important point to remember when using the extraoral technique is that the film needs to be marked to distinguish right from left. This is because the embossed dot faces into the mouth, as opposed to out of the mouth as in the intraoral techniques. So when the films are viewed they will be interpreted as the contralateral arcade. In our practice, the embossed dots on dried films are filled in with a red permanent marker to denote that the extraoral technique was used. Other practices may mark an L or R on the film with a permanent marker or use small paper clip markers before exposure.
Mesial mandibular premolar teeth
As stated previously, most mandibular teeth can be imaged by using the parallel technique.7 But in some patients there is a problem with imaging the apices of the mesial premolars.3,8 Typically, this is the third premolar (especially the mesial root) in cats and the first and second premolars in dogs. The challenge with imaging these teeth is to avoid interference of the mandibular symphysis. A standard parallel view will not image these apices.
To image the entire arcade, it is often necessary to use the bisecting angle technique.7 This technique can be used to image the entire arcade or just the mesial premolars, with a second film using the standard parallel technique (which is more accurate) for the molars and distal premolars.
Dental radiographs can be developed by using hand developing, automatic dental film processors, or standard radiograph processors. For instructions on automatic dental processing, refer to the operating manual for that piece of equipment. Using standard radiograph automatic processors for developing dental films is not recommended because of improper development and fixation as well as a chance of losing the film within the processor.
Hand development
Developing the film with chemicals manually, without the use of an automatic processor, is the least expensive and most common method of developing dental radiographs.5,6,14,15 This method is similar to the dip tank developing that was used historically for standard films.
Hand developing methods use one of two different techniques to produce an image on the film. These methods are called time-temperature and sight developing.14 Both methods use a two-step rapid development solution.*** It is important to note that standard radiograph solutions are a poor substitute for dental film solutions since the time of development will be greatly increased and the quality of development and fixation will be inferior with standard solutions.14
Time-temperature development. With this method, continuously monitoring the temperature of the developing solution determines the required development time according to the manufacturer's recommendation.14 This method is the most scientifically correct but can be cumbersome.6
Sight development. This method is performed by dipping the film in the developer for a short time, removing it, and then critically examining it with the safe light or through the filter.6,14 This process is repeated until the first hint of an image appears, indicating the film is properly developed. Sight development has two distinct advantages over the time-temperature technique. First, continuous temperature monitoring is not necessary. However, the solution temperature rises during the day, especially if numerous films are being developed, which shortens development time. So unless frequent temperature readings are performed, this can result in overdeveloped films. Second and more important, the sight development method allows an experienced technician to adjust for minor technique errors by relatively overdeveloping or underdeveloping the film.14 This adjustment will not compensate for major errors but will avoid some retakes.
Submerge, rinse, and fix
With either hand-developing method, once the film is carefully removed from the packet, it is placed into the developer solution. For proper development, submerge the entire film for the allotted time, or until developed. After complete development, rinse the film by agitating it in distilled water for one minute, and then place it in the fixer. The film may be evaluated for a short period after complete submersion in the fixer for one minute. However, to archive the film for later viewing, it must be fixed for a minimum of 10 to 30 minutes depending on the condition of the fixer.5,14 The film can, however, stay in the fixer for a prolonged period without being adversely affected.
Rinse again and dry
It is necessary to thoroughly rinse the film after completing the fixation process. Proper rinsing requires the film to be placed in the water rinse for a minimum of 10 minutes. However, to achieve true archival quality, a 30-minute rinse is recommended.5,14 To avoid fixer solution dripping down from the clip and ruining the image, transfer the film to a clean clip and quickly rinse again before drying.14
Radiographs must be completely dried before storage or the films will stick together, resulting in film damage.5,14,15 Drying can be accomplished with a dental film dryer or a hair dryer. Alternatively, radiographs may be hung to air dry. However, if the air-drying method is used, allow a full 24 hours for complete drying. When drying multiple radiographs, it is beneficial to transfer them to a multifilm clip.
Monitor chemical quantities
Chemicals used in hand developing must be replaced frequently when using small cup quantities. Six ounces of developer will generally develop 10 to 15 size 4 films and even more of the smaller size 2 films before replenishment is necessary.5
Make copies
Regardless of appropriate development, fixing, and rinsing, some degradation of the film quality is expected over time. So I recommend taking high-quality digital photos of the radiographs and storing them in a computer folder that is routinely backed up. This will provide a permanent copy of the film and can also facilitate telemedicine with specialists or other veterinarians. Instructions on taking high-quality digital photos of dental films can be found on www.vetdentalrad.com by clicking on "How to Prepare Files" and then on "Digital Camera."
Exposure and development errors
Many potential opportunities for errors in dental radiography are directly related to developing or exposure. These errors result in either poor-quality or unreadable films. Common errors include underexposure or underdeveloping, overexposure or overdeveloping, underfixing, and underrinsing.5,6,14,15
Underexposure. Underexposed or underdeveloped radiographs appear washed out or light, which can result from insufficient exposure or developing time as well as exhausted developer. Correct the problem by increasing the development time or the exposure. If the problem persists, replace the developer and fixer solutions.
Overexposure. Overexposed or overdeveloped film results in a dark radiograph. Decreasing the exposure time usually solves the problem, but occasionally decreasing the development time may be preferred.
Underfixing. Extreme underfixing causes the film to blacken before viewing. Slight underfixing causes the radiograph to yellow over time. To avoid immediate film blackening, leave the film in the fixer for at least one minute before viewing. Long-term viewing ability (years) requires fixing the film for a total of 30 minutes.14
Taking the time to properly position a patient, the film, and the beam head for dental radiographs is critical—the positioning and technique change greatly depending on the tooth. The development process is vital as well so that images come out clear and can be read for years to come. See the next article for advice on interpreting dental radiographs.
Author's Note: All photographs demonstrating positioning are shown with a standard dental film to optimize the visibility of tube head placement, film placement, and the correct angles between them. All radiographs except Figures 19 and 20 were obtained with a size 2 dental digital sensor to provide optimum print quality.

Tell me what are you thinkings about it :p
Tell me what are you thinkings about it :p
compositionally, it looks okay to me. But it could use way more detailing, -I can't really make out any detail yet. Is that a sub? What is the sub lighting up?
Looks nice! The green of the rocks in the middle is nice, but I would expect in on the ones in front aswell. Now it's blue-green-blue from front to back.
You could try using a very big soft brush to make the water less clear. Works great for depth aswell if you do it on a layer and erase out what is closer to you. See this threat on for a clearer explanation I just posted about fog.
Hope this helps

Interview with 'SAFE' author Kate Hanney: "People don't want to admit that this sort of thing happens…"
Kate Hanney has spent over 14 years working as a secondary school English teacher in South Yorkshire with young people who suffer from severe social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. Whilst Kate continues to teach, her experiences working with teenagers inspired her to write realistic fiction for the 'Young Adult' age-group, with a focus on social issues such as crime, drugs and life in the care system.
Her first novel, 'SAFE', described as the book for teenagers who don't read became a hit amongst reluctant readers after finding its way into Waterstones and secondary school reading sets. The follow-up 'Watermelon', offers a gritty and realistic depiction of a 15-year old boy caught up in gang violence and living in a children's home.
Kate also recently co-founded Applecore Books with children's author Wendy Storer, and released her third novel 'Someone Different' late last year.
Your inspiration for writing SAFE came from teaching young adults in South Yorkshire. How did the book come about?
It was a very tight community there, very insular and very deprived. It dawned on me that not a lot of people would realise exactly how some of these youngsters are growing up, what their experiences and their environments are like. I thought some of their stories and life experiences needed to be shared. People are sometimes quick to judge other people… to be quite negative about kids today. But there are lots of reasons why they end up being who they are and doing what they do.
When the mainstream media talks about young adults there's often a fixation with blanket terms like "hoodies", "chavs", "gangs", terms which almost dehumanise teenagers. That's what you're going against in your writing isn't it?
It is, yes. It's a fine line: it would be easy for people to say that I'm making excuses up for these youngsters and that ultimately they have to make their own decisions, they're responsible for their own behaviours. But if you've been in the lives, the houses, with the parents and the other people around you that these youngsters have, it's very difficult. A little bit of understanding and empathy, that's what I'm trying to create. People can be quick to stereotype and have a blanket opinion of young people…
…I live on the cusp of two large housing estates in Sheffield. I got a knock on my door late one night and there were a couple of hooded youths outside. I opened the door and one of them said, "I'm just letting you know that you've left your keys in the door". My house keys and my car keys were hanging out of my door on the outside and these kids had stopped to tell me.
I love that story because it absolutely shatters all those stereotypes. Some people I know would not have opened the door. What you saw happening, what you thought you might have seen happening from the outside was nothing like what they were actually doing. Not only had they actually seen the keys, they'd not just walked past, they'd not just not taken the keys and taken my car off the drive, but they'd actually come to tell me. They'd stopped and gone out of their way to be helpful.
In 'Watermelon' there are open references to young people engaging in violent crime, selling drugs and having underage sex. Do you believe it's important that these things are discussed?
For the kids that are involved in that sort of thing it's important that they can perhaps hear a story about a similar sort of life and culture to theirs. But in terms of a wider mainstream audience, it's important that other young people and adults appreciate that these things do happen. They happen all the time where I work, in my professional life. My [own] children are still quite young but when they're in their teenage years I would hate for them to be blinkered and think that everyone's life is like theirs. They need to know.
How can you change the outlook of the average adult who feels threatened, rightly or not, by that image of teenagers dressed in hoodies roaming dark streets?
It's about creating that empathy. It's not so much excusing what some youngsters (a very tiny minority) do, it's about trying to fill in the background to the headlines. It's trying to go through the previous 15 or 16 years, from conception really, to understand the life choices they've had. I'd love it if people thought, "What would I have done in that situation? How would I have grown up?"
Many of them would realise that the choices some youngsters make are actually rational responses to their environment…
…and their cultures. Some kids have got so few positive role models, so few ambitions. One of the saddest conversations I've ever had with a young person… (was with) a really, really bright lad. I tried to suggest that he might want to go to university later in his life, and he just had no interest whatsoever and said "It's not for me". "If I took you to look round would you at least go and look around the university?" I asked him, and he was like "No, no chance".
And he was a very intelligent bloke. We were talking about 'Romeo and Juliet' at the time and he'd been away between lessons researching on the computer. I thought: that's brilliant; I'm really pleased you did that, and he said, "I were just bored one night". There were lots of other things he could have done if he'd been bored but he'd actually chosen researching and that's how the conversation came about.
That reminded me of going back hundreds of years, or at least a hundred years. I'm thinking back to my grandparents. I can remember them telling me stories about going into service. My nan went into service when she was 13 and had this outlook of being inferior to the people she was serving, and that conversation reminded me of them.
Can you tell me a bit about Applecore Books?
Wendy and I share the same agent and we were in a very similar situation. She writes for a younger audience than me but her writing's still very much issue-based, and we both had big publishers very interested in our work but not quite going for it in the end because of the issues. So after a while, probably a couple of years, we took the decision to form this independent company, publish our own stuff, and possibly take on other authors. For us it's got to be within that 'realistic' genre.
My parents grew up in a sort of slum area of Sheffield. The reason Applecore Books is called by that name is because my dad told me a story, about kids being so poor when they were growing up that if one of them had an apple one of the poor kids would say "save the core". And he would eat that core because it was all he'd get. And it was also the metaphor of the seed. The core being the bit that no one wants but actually holds the seeds and a potential for growth.
Do you think there's an excess of sci-fi and fantasy fiction and not enough 'realistic' fiction in the Young Adult market?
A lot of books out there that are high interest, low reading age, for your less able readers, but the quality is very variable and the subject matter…if you compare it to the console games and the DVDs they're watching, it's very basic and much more childish…
…There's a review of 'Watermelon' on Amazon which says it walks a very fine line between what would and wouldn't be deemed acceptable for a teenage audience, and it really got me thinking. I think one of the things that people struggle with is that it's contemporary, it's now. People perhaps don't want to admit that this sort of thing really happens.
At work I teach things like 'Romeo and Juliet' and 'Of Mice and Men'… and they're full of issue-based stuff that's really cruel, violent. The past cushions it. The future too. Take The Hunger Games; I mean the whole concept of The Hunger Games - young people trying to kill each other – is really quite disturbing.
A common theme in both adult and teenage fiction is that terrible experiences eventually lead to either epiphanies or positive changes in the protagonist's inner self. Where do you stand on this?
The original ending for Watermelon was a much more tragic ending. But I had an ongoing dilemma because Cornerstones (literary consultancy) essentially said, "No you've got to have a positive ending, a more optimistic ending for it to be commercial". And I deliberated about that for a long time, because I did feel like I was selling out. The way I got around that was I made it a positive ending but tried to emphasise the fact that he ended up living because of luck and coincidence. It could have very easily gone the other way, and it wasn't anybody being a superhero, it was just a series of events that saved him. But I still do cringe a little bit with that, because nine times out of 10 it would have ended in tragedy, and that is a tough one, very tough, balancing reality with the needs of the industry, or the perceived needs of the industry.

Anyone who has ever watched I Dream Of Jeannie or Dallas will instantly recognize Larry Hagman. His career has spanned several television shows and movies, but he's probably best recognized as the bumbling astronaut or the ruthless oil baron, J.R. Ewing.
Anyways, Hagman is also quite the green celebrity. According to his website, "Larry has three gorgeous solar arrays on his property in Ojai, drives a Toyota Prius Hybrid car and an electric Dodge Gem, and uses alternative energy sources when ever possible."
I never heard of the Dodge Gem, but apparently it gets about 35 miles per charge and plugs in to any standard outlet. We have no idea if Hagman's property is off grid (we'll leave it to the experts to figure that one out) but it's safe to say the guy was very ahead of his time with green energy. It also lends credence to his values being genuine and not something representative of the times.
One of the major projects being supported by Hagman presently is Refunds for Good. As mentioned previously, the campaign directs people on how to claim telephone tax refunds and then give that money to various environmental causes. Hagman is especially vocal about supporting the Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF); which brings renewable solar energy to developing countries. He's been working with the group for over 10 years now and sees Refunds for Good as a great way to help out.
Hit their site for more information on how you can claim your phone tax refund and contribute to some worthy green causes. Additional celebrity support includes Ed Begley. Jr., The Daily Show's Nate Corddry, and Martin Sheen.

© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
COVINGTON -- The Covington City Council is still trying to resolve complaints from residents about noise generated by Oconee Metal Recycling on Washington Street.
Citizens living in the area say that since Oconee Metal added a shredder to destroy cars, the noise level has increased to become bothersome, and some even claim that their homes and decks have cracks in them, allegedly from the vibrations coming from the facility.
The council agreed Monday night to spend up to an additional $4,000 to fund another noise study near the site. The city has already spent $6,000 for a noise and vibration study that concluded that the business is in compliance with the city ordinance and does not constitute a public nuisance. Councilman Chris Smith made the motion to fund another study, with the condition that the total spent by the city not exceed $10,000.
But residents in the area said the study may be a waste of money.
"Truthfully, I can't see you spending any more money on this noise situation," said James Taggert. "The machines are going to stay the same. The metal is going to stay the same, it's not going to get any softer. So where do we stand? As far as I'm concerned you're throwing good money after bad money."
Joe Hettinger played the council a recording he made of the loud noise from the plant while on his back deck, about half a mile away. While Hettinger said he appreciates owner Ed Cloud shutting down the machine on Saturdays, as he promised at the last City Council meeting, the noise is still bothersome throughout the week.
"I have a pool out there but you can't sit out there and enjoy it. You can't even have a conversation with this racket going on," he said. "I'll come here and play this for you every week and not charge you anything. I don't see spending a lot of money. It's not going to accomplish anything."
Planning Director Randy Vinson previously said the shredder was permitted in January 2009 by the former planning director. Several months later, the building permit was approved. Vinson was on staff at that time, and said he investigated and consulted the city attorney to determine whether adding the equipment would constitute an expansion.
"We determined they would just be more efficient at doing the exact same thing they'd been doing. They had been cutting up cars with motorized saws," Vinson said.
Resident Thomas Jay said there was no problem with noise until the shredder was brought in; he questioned whether the addition of the machine was properly vetted by the city, noting it is operating within 200 feet of some homes. Jay said the machine needs to be muffled to block the noise.
But owner Ed Cloud said that won't help.
"Putting mufflers on motors is easy but if there is a problem that's perceived, that would not solve the problem," he said, adding that the noise the neighbors are complaining about is the sound of the metal going into the shredder.
Though he said he likely can't enclose the entire machine, Cloud did agree to look into ways to buffer the sound.
The property in question was originally zoned heavy industrial and when the area was changed to light industrial, it was grandfathered in, said Mayor Ronnie Johnston.
"This is a legal issue. To a certain extent, we're kind of stuck," he said, adding that the business appears to be following the law.
City Attorney Ed Crudup said residents can file a nuisance complaint with Municipal Court for the judge to determine if there is a private nuisance being created, since the noise does not meet the threshold for a public nuisance.

The Fremont SJCC defense wraps up the Liberty-Benton ball carrier Aug 25.
- Filed Under
FREMONT -- A calming feeling came over St. Joseph Central Catholic coach Scott Knisely after his team's dramatic come-from-behind win at Seneca East last Friday.
Not because minutes earlier, Knisely's team nearly gave up a game it once led 26-0. Instead, the third-year coach was smiling from ear-to-ear because he knew he had a team that was going to be able to handle any situation thrown its way.
For the second time in a four-week span, Knisely's Crimson Streaks (3-1, 1-0) -- who play Carey (3-1, 1-0) in a Midland Athletic League contest at Don Paul Stadium Saturday -- drove the field with the ...

Foreign Accent Syndrome (FAS) Support
About FAS
Evolution of a basal ganglia lesion in three successive MR images of a Spanish-speaking FAS patient. The images also show a right temporal lesion.
Foreign accent syndrome (FAS) is speech disorder that causes a sudden change to speech so that a native speaker is perceived to speak with a "foreign" accent. FAS is most often caused by damage to the brain caused by a stroke or traumatic brain injury. Other causes have also been reported including multiple sclerosis and conversion disorder and in some cases no clear cause has been identified.
Speech may be altered in terms of timing, intonation, and tongue placement so that is perceived as sounding foreign. Speech remains highly intelligible and does not necessarily sound disordered.
FAS has been documented in cases around the world, including accent changes from Japanese to Korean, British English to French, American-English to British English, and Spanish to Hungarian.
Some common speech changes associated with FAS include:

In regards to the letter from July 12, "EPA Cronyism," I am sorry Mr. Schumann has difficulty sleeping. I also have bouts of generalized fear that sometimes keep me awake beyond my bedtime. This happens to me, too, when I try to compartmentalize my thoughts, vague dissatisfaction (and fears) of "how things are" where we (as a civilization and a society) seem to be heading.
I also can create scenarios in my head that anger, sadden, harden or confuse me. I am trying to stay open-minded to viable scenarios that encourage, gladden or clarify things for me. Scenarios are imperfect models that should be vetted in order to identify critical distortions of essential facts and the reasons for them. I have read several earlier letters in this column by Mr. Schumann in which he makes some statements that might be worth objectively discussing and exploring. Instead, he frequently froths about this and that as if to foment general dissatisfaction, paranoia and anxiety in the readership, which comes across as his latent purpose.
I do believe that by using names and terms like "enviromaniacs," you derisively, unproductively (well, then, what is your point?) and falsely categorize the world of individuals. Such blanket names as these — we see things like "enviro-(insert a churlish, derogatory, even hateful but, really, childish, name or word here) all too often — which is every time they are used.
Mr. Schumann might, instead, try to be a forthright, responsible and informed American citizen. He could bring to us verifiable facts and well-reasoned statements and an honest acknowledgement of his preferences, desires, needs and biases for his causes. Will he please stop prodding us to make the devil's choice of, "You are either with us or against us?" This is the start of the distortion and the end of reasoned thinking.
I wish Mr. Schumann a good night's sleep so that he can better compose his thoughts in his next letter. Maybe you could provide us with an accurate appraisal of whether suction-dredge mining can be beneficial, if not neutral, to the environment? What kinds of environments do you think we should try to preserve?

- Colors
A speed-demon long boat that punches holes, boofs, and turns on a dime.
Part creeker, part river-runner, and part expedition-paddler, the Dagger Green Boat 11.5 Kayak lets you turn and boof to blast through your local creek, supplies speed to pursue your multi-day whitewater trip, and provides comfort to cruise down the river. With length and ample volume, this solid, long kayak carries speed, resurfaces quickly from drops, and eats up rapids without losing your line.
- Roto-molded construction maximizes stiffness without sacrificing impact strength, keeps the kayak weight fairly light, and provides increased protection from harmful ultraviolet rays
- Long boat design lets you pursue multi-day whitewater river trips or cruise down rivers
- Soft chines and aggressive bow and stern rocker offer a forgiving ride and allow for easy up-and-over during quick moves
- Green's hull design enables solid boofing especially when you're looking to angle-boof off of a rock and catch that critical eddy or when you boof straight downstream over a hole
- Even hull volume distribution keeps you on the surface, even in the water, and able to rapidly recover from big hits
- Subtle ridge on the front deck sheds water and helps the boat resurface under control
- Contour Ergo outfitting system features three inches of seat adjustment (fore and aft), an ergonomic leg lifter for additional comfort and security with ratchet adjustment point, adjustable quick-release hip pads, a deck brace that adds additional structure to the kayak, and a reliable reinforced step-out wall for improved safety
- Low-profile, vector roto-molded Creeker seat sits on a D-bone welded-in seat track and has adjustable back-band and thigh-braces while comfortable Contour Ergo seat padding with an additional seat booster insert provide ultimate customization
- Self-expanding toe-cup system conforms to the shape of the hull during adjustment
- System includes customizable foot padding for comfort and impact absorption
- Reinforced rails for improved safety, while adjustment knobs are tethered to prevent loss
- Adjustable gear storage system with tensioning cord lock and an added storage tray increase storage space while adding additional hull structure to the boat
- Multiple gear loops with quick-clip access for convenience
- Redesigned step-out wall is stiffer and more durable
- Easy-grip handle makes shoulder carrying easier and the step-out motion more efficient if required
- Deck Height: 14.5in

……….. I looked int the mirror as the bedroom door opened and Chad walked in.
"You look cute baby he smiled resting on the post at the foot of the bed
"Thanks But Mir is the one that does all this"
"Yeah well you carry it off" She kissed my cheek "Love ya and good luck" I nodded at her she looked at Chad "I'll kick your ass if they attack her"
"They won't" he smiled hugging her making her giggle "Seriously can you get over the star struck thing girl" he groaned
"No" she pulled away from him "You were on my to do list at one point" she put her hand on the door "Now you're on my damn my best friend has a hot husband and I'll kill anyone that'll hurt them list" she winked and pulled open the door laughing.
"You do know she'll still be giggling about who you are in years to come" I fastened my earrings
"They're the earrings you wore when we got married" He touched the black pearl earrings I nodded "God you looked so pretty that night" he held my face in his hands "I love you Mrs. Kroeger, I love you with all of my heart" I swallowed hard as he bent his head and kissed me.
"I know" I murmured "Thank you. I love you too" I wrapped my arms round him and hugged him, the door knocked.
Yep" I felt the vibration of the word through Chad's chest
"We're ready for you" a guy put his head round the door "We need to get mic's on both of you"
"Okay" Chad nodded I looked at him "You ready?"
"Yeah" I took a deep breath and linked my fingers with his and he lead me from our room. We both stood and had the microphones put on us Lukas was talking to one of the producers.
"Okay we're going to have the two of you sitting on the couch" the director said walking over to us "Jen will be in the chair next to you" he pointed to where the girl who I'd seen a million times on MTV was sitting going over something written on the cards she held in her hands. "You've both done a ton of interviews I know that so it's easy right"
"Never together" I chewed my lip nervously
"No and I have to say we were so happy to get the nod to come here and do this with the two of you" he smiled I felt Chad's hand in the small of my back "Jen are you ready to go" she looked up and smiled
"I'm ready" she got up and hugged me and Chad. We all sat down. Chad put his arm over the back of the couch I rested my hand on his thigh my ring on full display. The camera's started to record "Chris I have to say this you're amazing and any chance of getting me a date with Alfie?" she smiled
"Sorry he's head over heels in love with his high school sweetheart" I laughed feeling a little more relaxed
"Oh so not fair he's hotter than Hades " she pouted "And Chad my Brother wants me to" she held up her hand to high five him making him laugh "for being the guy that actually gets to be with Chris"
"Yeah well I still want to high five myself for that as well" he smiled looking at me.
"So when did you guys actually get married because there is a holy slew of different reports on it?"
"We all took a few days off in Bali" I smiled "The guys were doing crazy stuff like trekking in the jungle and we had a beach side villa"
"Just the two of you?"
"Yeah well if you knew the other six guys on tour with us you wouldn't want to share a villa with them either" Chad grinned.
"So you both had it planned that you were getting married?"
"Nope" I shook my head "as far as I knew we were just getting 4 days together without anyone else around"
"I knew I was going to ask her to marry me" Chad butted in "But the wedding was sort of" he looked at me
"Fast" I laughed
"We got married within an hour of me asking her" he shrugged "It was just the right time and the right place"
"Yeah sunset in paradise" I squeezed his legs he bit his lip and winked at me.
"So Chad you're fine with these pictures of your wife wearing Kellan Lutz then" Jen tipped her head with a wry smile "I mean Chris you've admitted in more than one interview that you and Kellan had a thing"
"We dated" I nodded "but we're now really good friends"
"I'm proud as hell that Chris of everything she does" Chad shrugged "and I've said it more than once Kellan has a way better body than I do and who would people rather see on a 25 foot bill board in times square me and Chris or Kellan and Chris" he chuckled
"So the fact that they work tighter half naked doesn't faze you?"
"Not at all… What people don't know is I've been there when the shoots were done apart from the last one, and Kellan is a good friend of the band… In fact it was Kellan that kicked my ass into gear with Chris so…" He looked at the Camera "Kellan you rock dude and thank you" I groaned and shook my head.
"So all good with the ex and the husband then Chris" Jen smiled at me
"Oh yeah" I nodded
"So what do you think to the court issued order from Chad's Ex"
"On that we're not allowed to talk because it's still all in the courts" I smiled "But it sucks when someone becomes bitter because they got used to having it all and not doing anything to get it" I shrugged
"Do you guys have a pre-nup?"
"Nope I shook my head and I have no claim on Chad's money, and the only Money of mine that he has is the royalties from some of the songs that he's written or co written with Alfie" I looked at Jen "Anyway I get a better car than he does"
"Yeah dream on Baby" he groaned.
"You have a McLaren from what I've heard Chris and Chad you have a Lamborghini?"
"Yes we do" Chad nodded both snuggled up at home in the garage waiting for us to take them to the track and race each other"
"Mac's going to blow away mutton" I poked him
"We'll see he shook" his head..
"So Chris… there's been some pretty serious stories in the Press in the US and Canada about your past" I felt my stomach knot and my grip on Chad's leg tightened "Some not so nice things" I nodded "And your Mom is saying that everything in the Rock baby books is all about you"…………………..

Ticket #638 (assigned defect)
platform-dependent constraint name hash
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
Constraint names in south appear to use the python built in hash
function which results in either 32 or 64 bit hashed names, depending
on your platform. The django core, however, forces constraint names
into a 32 bit hash irregardless of the platform (see
http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/9253, although the fix there is
not what is in the latest 1.2 django).
The result is that, on a 64 bit machine, constraint names generated
during a south 'db.create_unique' do not match the output from
'manage.py sqlclear'.
As with django core, a fixed 32 bit hash is probably the best solution, although it will cause problems for previously created constraints.

- Status changed from new to assigned
- Milestone set to 1.0
This is only a problem for indexes, actually - constraint names don't matter for all practical purposes (South detects the names using information_schema anyway).
comment:2 Changed 5 years ago by jackdied@…
Stable names for indexes would be nice. Unfortunately even if you had a pure-python version of the hashing algo you would have to check both versions on a miss. There's no guarantee that hash(obj) will stay the same between major versions or architectures. Python 2.6 and 2.7 have the same code for hashing but I didn't check any earlier versions.

Replying to andrew:
This is only a problem for indexes, actually - constraint names don't matter for all practical purposes (South detects the names using information_schema anyway).
If you want to db.rename_column first you need to drop constraint, right?
And to do that you need to know their names, right?
comment:4 Changed 3 years ago by Matthew
I have come across this issue today, because after a South migration that creates a new many-many table, I am now unable to run 'manage.py reset' because that command tries to drop a constraint with its own name, which does not match the name South has created it with.

CalFresh, formerly known as the food stamp program, is a supplemental nutritional assistance benefit that provides low-income families and individuals with a means to purchase food. Only about half of the people eligible for the program in San Francisco are currently enrolled, so the Food Bank is looking for dedicated volunteers to help us reach out to people that might qualify for CalFresh benefits.
Volunteer Availability:
We are looking for volunteers who can commit a minimum of 30 hours to the CalFresh program over any length of time. Volunteer outreach can vary from about 2-4 hours per event and is dependent on how many events are scheduled. Volunteers must be at least 18 years old.
Duties and Responsibilities:
- Attend an initial orientation/training session. During this session staff will present an overview of the program and basics of CalFresh participation guidelines, the application process, and how to pre-screen participants
- Understand and explain the misconceptions, fears, and myths about CalFresh participation
- Maintain client confidentiality
- Attend food bank distributions and assist our participants with the pre-screening process
- Some on site office work: follow up calls, logging pre-screening data, etc
See the full description >>
Fill out the application >>
For more information, contact Francesca Costa by email or by phone at (415) 282-1907 x304.
San Francisco has more pantries per square mile and distributes significantly more Food Bank food per person in poverty than anywhere in the country. The growing demand for food assistance coupled with limited resources and capacity have stretched the pantry network to a level that is difficult to sustain. Long lines and the challenges that go with them are now the norm at open-to-the public pantries.
Pantry partners and participants have asked the Food Bank to take steps to address these challenges on a more system-wide level. The Food Bank has created the Pantry Enrollment system to address these challenges. This system requires households to select and attend one specific pantry. The Panty Enrollment system aims to serve as many households as possible with our limited resources, offer a better experience for participants and pantry partners and ultimately ensure more equitable access to everyone in need.
Duties and Responsibilities:
Volunteers who join the Pantry Enrollment team will be expected to:
Maintain client confidentiality.
Attend food bank distributions and outreach to participants about the new system.
Potential for increased responsibility based on capacity and commitment to the program.
Volunteer Availability:
We are in need of Korean or Russian speaking volunteers Friday mornings from 9:00am-12:00pm from January to the end of February 2014. Volunteers must be at least 18 years old. There are additional shifts available for Russian speaking volunteers.
Profile of an ideal candidate:
- Fluent in Russian or Korean
- Ability to work well with others, including food bank staff and volunteers.
- Interest in social justice, community organizing, issues of hunger/food security.
- Ability and willingness to work with diverse communities.
- Good verbal communication skills
- Collaborating with many community serving organizations in San Francisco.
- Experience working within a public social service program.
- Learning about food security issues in San Francisco.
- Potential for further training opportunities.
Must attend a 30-minute training session prior to community outreach. Please call or email us at your earliest convenience to schedule meeting.
- Public Speaking
- Ability to work with diverse populations
- Bilingual in Korean or Russian

An estimated 500 technicians at the Vermont National Guard will go on partial furlough beginning next Monday, thanks to the federal governments ongoing sequestration process.
The furlough will allow the Vermont Guard to cut about $2 million. Sequestration is a blunt-edged method to cut federal spending approved by Congress. The Defense Department was required to reduce its budget by almost $43 billion in the current fiscal year as part of sequestration.
Under the furlough, affected full-time Guard members will work eight hours less each week from July 8 through Sept. 30, the Guard said in a statement released Monday.
Maj. Gen. Steven A. Cray said a majority of those being furloughed work in jobs involved with maintaining equipment for the Guards air and army wings.
There is going to be a reduction in maintenance over the summer, Cray said in an interview.
Cray said that, as a result, the Air Guard wont have as many F-16 fighter jets available for training missions and some of the equipment the Army Guard uses during its summer training at Fort Drum wont be available.
The furlough wont affect maintenance of equipment the Guard might need to deal with emergency or disaster relief in Vermont or elsewhere, he said. He also said maintenance designed to keep F-16s and other Guard equipment running safely wont be reduced.
Cray notified the members being furloughed by letter last week. He said those affected by the cut in hours are taking it as well as can be expected.
We recognize the difficult financial implications of any furlough, no matter how limited its length, he wrote in the letter.
Cray, in the letter, said those affected cannot work voluntarily during the furlough days and must stay away from their workplace on those days.

Surprise! Obamacare Is Really Working
Now, after five years, an epic website fail, and a nail-biter of a Supreme Court fight, Obamacare is officially here to stay. But, with all the changes and bumps in the road, just how much progress has the law made toward achieving universal coverage?
Well, if the latest numbers are anything to go by, there's definitely reason to celebrate. The percentage of Americans without health coverage has fallen from a high of 18% in 2013 (before the law went into effect) to 15.9%. While this drop is indeed significant, the biggest improvements have been among low-income Americans (of whom 2.8% more are now insured) and black Americans (with a 2.6% increase). Perhaps even more importantly, a full 55% of uninsured adults say they plan to buy health insurance, rather than pay the fine for refusing to do so.
Whatever your thoughts on the rollout (or the many concessions that have been made, especially on birth control), it's hard to argue with the fact that over six million previously uninsured Americans are now covered.
Click through to Gallup for the rest of the numbers — and, if you need more reasons to buy into Obamacare, check out what Obama had to say about it yesterday. Trust us, you'll be glad you did. (Gallup)

Stocks finished lower after a rise in the 10-year Treasury yield and a rebound in oil prices raised inflation concerns. Recent bombings in Egypt and England, and concern over the impact of the yuan revaluation kept an overhang on the
market, notes Standard & Poor's MarketScope.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 54.70 points, or 0.51%, to 10,596.48. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index was down 4.65 points, or 0.38%, to 1,229.03. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite fell 13.00 points, or 0.60%, to 2,166.74.
The market showed little reaction to a better than expected report on existing home sales for June, which rose 2.7% to a record 7.33 million unit annual pace from an upwardly revised 7.14 million in May.
The most closely-watched economic news of the week will be Friday's advance GDP figure. The GDP is expected to rise 3.2%, with a 2.5% in the chain price index, marking a slowdown from the past two quarters, which have seen 3.8% gains in each. Also ahead, July's consumer confidence figure on Tuesday, and New Home sales on Wednesday.
Whirlpool (WHR) raised its bid for competitor Maytag (MYG) to $18 per share from $17. A representative from Maytag said that the sweetened proposal may beat out the proposal from a group led by Ripplewood Holdings, which was originally in talks to buy the appliance maker, says Standard & Poor's MarketScope.
In other M&A news, Ivax (IVX) agreed to be acquired by Teva pharmaceuticals (TEVA) in a deal valued at roughly $7.4 billion. Ivax holders will receive either $26 per share in cash, or roughly 0.85 shares of Teva stock.
In earnings news Monday, Xerox (XRX) posted second-quarter net profits of 20 cents a share, vs. 21 cents a sharelast year. Lower-than-expected margins offset a 2% rise in revenue.
BellSouth (BLS) reported a more than 20 percent drop in profit in the second-quarter, on a slight rise in revenue. The Atlanta-based telecom posted earnings of $795 million, or 43 cents a share, vs. 54 cents a share for the year-ago quarter. The company also said that excluding wireless merger costs tied to its 40% ownership of Cingular Wireless, it had earnings of $849 million, or 46 cents a share.
Avaya (AV) announced third-quarter earnings after the close Monday. The company reported earnings of $194 million, or 40 cents per share, vs. 13 cents per share last year.
Up ahead on the earnings calendar, look for reports from Electronic Arts (ERTS), Sun Microsystems (SUNW), and Verizon (VZN) on Tuesday, and Hilton Hotels (HLT) on Wednesday.
Crude oil prices settled higher, as prices rebounded from early morning profit-taking activity. The price of oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange finished up 35 cents to $59.00 a barrel.
b>Treasury Market
Treasury yields pushed higher in reaction to the strong housing figures and hawkish comments from fed-watcher John M. Berry, who pointed toward the Fed's inflation concerns. The 10-year note yield traded higher at 4.24%.
World Markets
European stock markets finished higher Monday. London's FTSE 100 index closed up 28.90 points, or 0.55%, to 5,270.70.
Germany's DAX index rose 5.80 points, or 0.12%, to 4,842.70.
In Paris, the CAC 40 index gained 6.60 points, or 0.15%, moving to 4,422.12.
Asian markets closed higher on Monday. In Japan, the Nikkei index closed up 67.60, or 0.58%, at 11,762.65.
In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng index gained 7.57 points, or 0.05%, moving to 14,794.03.

To the victor go the spoils? Well, in the case of Warren Sapp, the former football star who landed in the elite confines of Windermere, FL, there was a time when he was collecting all kinds of insanely bodacious bounty, but that was during his NFL playing days.
Now comes the tale of Sapp's financial meltdown, courtesy of the Tampa Bay Times. In a mightily detailed account of Sapp's personal finances, the story gives a primer on how a 39-year-old man who earned $77 million could wind up with $826.04 in his checking account, debts totaling $6.7 million and a home being auctioned by U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
It's quite a story about the outspoken Sapp, whose humble beginnings are plainly seen by the homes that dot the street where he grew up, which is now called Warren Sapp Drive in Plymouth, FL.
Despite his continued role in the TV broadcast booth and a new book that attempts to cash in on his loquacious ways, Sapp has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, an avenue that attempts to portray his losses as business related.
But the devil is in the details, and, according the Times' examination of the 59-page filing, only time and the courts will tell whether Sapp fits the bill for this kind of bankruptcy procedure. In the meantime, Sapp's home at 11049 Bridge House Rd, Windermere, FL, 34786 is on the market for $3.774 million.
The 10,000-square-foot, 4-bedroom, 6.5-bath home was ordered on the market by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, which under Sapp's Chapter 7 filing requires the liquidation of all his assets. The home is scheduled for auction on Nov. 1, with the caveat that the list price is conditional. The real sale price will be determined prior to the auction.
In the meantime, anyone with an Air Jordan jones can take advantage of Sapp's fiscal plight; the bank has also ordered the sale of Sapp's collection of 240 pair of sneakers. The only catch? They're all size 15.

Only 24 more hours till Fallout!
The only game I've liked for story telling was the Metal Gear Solid series. Nothing else really came close.
[Edited by Neo7, 10/17/2010 9:49:17 PM]
Maybe. It's a good game to kill some time with. I was recommended Dragon Age awhile back and I didn't like it. I'm not much of an RPG fan since the action is so slow. Halo has pretty decent action though I've never seen Reach in action. I'd like to try it out for an hour or so before I'd buy my own copy.
The story line the Halo games show is a VERY small fraction of the entire storyline of the franchise/series/whatever you want to call it. I don't think a lot of people know of it. They are mostly in the books though. I read the first three and Ghosts of Onyx. Started Contact Harvest a long time ago but never got past chapter two or something.
Anyways outside the games, yeah Halo has a huge story. The books are an awesome read, after I started reading the first I just couldn't get enough.Also it's class time brb

The Mystery of the Yellow Room
8 hours and 22 minutes
Other Versions - The Mystery of the Yellow Room
Narrator Simon Vance - Unabridged
This crime novel was possibly the first to involve a 'locked room mystery', in which an attempted murder takes place, but with no obvious way for the perpetrator to have escaped. The author, Gaston Leroux, is better known as the author of The Phantom of the Opera: prepare to feel the hairs standing up on the back of your neck… (Summary by Stuart Bell)
About the Author - Gaston Leroux
Gaston Leroux was a French mystery novelist, playwright, and journalist, who was perhaps best known for writing The Phantom of the Opera. Leroux's narratives were fast moving, and he often used complicated plots. In his youth, he wrote stories inspired by Alexandre Dumas and Victor Hugo. His later works showed the influence of Jules Verne and Edgar Allan Poe.
Leroux was born on May 6, 1868, in Paris to a wealthy store owner. He attended school in Normandy and obtained his law degree in Paris in 1889. When his father died, Leroux inherited nearly a million francs, and he spent most of his time drinking and gambling. Eventually, finding his money gone, Leroux started to work as a theater critic and reporter for L'Écho de Paris. By 1890, Leroux had become a full-time journalist.
Between 1894 and 1906, Leroux traveled to different countries throughout Europe, Africa, and Asia as a correspondent. He wrote for the daily newspaper Le Matlin in addition to L'Écho de Paris and covered the Russian Revolution of 1905. In 1909, Leroux devoted himself entirely to writing, focusing on plays and popular novels of mystery and detection. Leroux established his own film company called Cinéromans in 1919. He died in Nice on April 16, 1927.
