Crowns can be created from various materials. The primary option is the one made of metal. This type of crown is typically made of metal alloy and has many advantages. Metal usually requires less tooth structure to be removed and it supports the everyday demands of your mouth far better than other materials. However, one setback of metal crowns is the color. Many people don't want others to notice that metallic color inside their mouths.
As for the color, an option would be to have porcelain fused to metal. This provides you with the advantages of having a metal crown with a color to match your other teeth. Although this type can wear down more quickly, they can be a good choice.
Other dental crown types include crowns made of resin, all-ceramic or all-porcelain. Ones made from resin are usually less expensive, but probably wear down more quickly compared with other materials. All-ceramic and all-porcelain options are capable to give your teeth their natural color as they are an excellent option for people with metal allergies. However, these types are easily fractured and may also result in some general wear towards the surrounding teeth.
After discussing the choices with your dentist, it's time to have the crown put in place. You'll have one appointment wherein the dentist will prepare your tooth for the new addition. He or she will either file down or perhaps build up (with regards to too much decay) the tooth to ensure that he can place it on top. Then you'll have some paste-like substance out surrounding the tooth so your crown can be created. Next, you may be given a temporary solution while the permanent one is being created.
As soon as the permanent crown comes in, your dentist will make sure that it fits appropriately and will make use of dental cement to stick it in place. It is essential to remember to always take proper care of your teeth since you are still vulnerable to things like gum disease. The crown typically lasts five to fifteen years based on how you take care of it, oral hygiene as well as the wear and tear you place on your teeth.
In spite of which choice you go with, getting a dental crown can protect as well as enhance the appearance of your teeth. They are guaranteed to provide you with more comfort and confidence.
]]>Today, dental in-office teeth whitening are not the only choice. A lot of home teeth whitening products are now dominating the market with a remarkable rate as they are considered a convenient way of dental treatment for whiter teeth. Home teeth whitening system makes use of various teeth whitening products such as whitening strips, teeth whitening trays along with whitening gels as well as brush-on whitening.
Several of the basic home teeth whitening tip or perhaps ways of teeth whitening, as used by people around the world are as follows:
All of these home teeth whitening techniques, if carried out on a regular basis, can provide excellent results.
Before making use of teeth whitening kits, you will need to follow certain instructions to apply teeth whitening procedure appropriately. For instance, it is recommended that the person should use oxygenating toothpaste to clean the teeth because it contains substances which strengthen gums and forestall sensitivity from occurring in the teeth.
Now, have you asked yourself, how convenient it is to just schedule an appointment with a dentist that could give you proper teeth whitening treatment instead of risking your time and effort to do it at home?
]]>During pregnancy, mothers are at high risk of having inflamed and bleeding gums. Maintaining good oral hygiene and having regular dental checkups are the best actions to be taken in prevention of gum diseases. Dentists will give you advices on how to take care of your teeth at home since pregnancy is a very crucial stage.
Although it is best to have dental visits during your pregnancy, there are a number of dental treatments that should be done after you have given birth. For example, if you need to have an amalgam filling because of tooth decay, the dentist will most likely advise you to have the treatment only after your delivery. In addition to that, if they require you to have a dental x-ray, this should also wait until you give birth, given that amalgam contains substances and x-rays have radiation which can harm the baby.
Smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages during pregnancy can be dangerous for the baby. Recent studies have shown that pregnant women who have both smoked and drank alcohol during pregnancy result in underweight babies. This will put the child at a greater risk of having poor teeth. Mothers should take as much calcium as they can during pregnancy.
Pregnant women must maintain good oral health and have a well-balanced diet in order to have a healthy baby. Getting all the vitamins and minerals is good for the good development of the baby's overall and dental health.
]]>Dental prosthesis involves having a tooth replacement for good looks. Some people have uneven teeth that may discourage their appearance. Then, the dentist will offer them a cosmetic dentistry procedure to make them look good as it suits their facial structure. This process is known as cosmetic dental prosthesis. A dental prostodontist should have a 4 years experience after their dental studies in college.
The most common cosmetic dental prosthesis is dental bridge. Artificial tooth is used in dental bridging. The qualities of an original tooth cannot be compared to an artificial one. Because they differ in hardness, a crown is usually used to support the tooth. Dentists place the artificial tooth over the area where the original tooth is broken and then they make it glued there permanently. The removal of this tooth can only be done by a dentist. The materials to be used for dental bridges are chosen by the patients. The materials like that of china ware, metallic porcelains and gold are used in making artificial teeth. The dentist will explain to you which of these materials best suit you.
In preparation for making an artificial tooth, the materials that are chosen by the patient and decided by the dentist will be used. Paying close attention in the production of the tooth and artistry is combined to create the appropriate tooth for you. An impression using an x-ray of your teeth is made by the dentist before tooth preparation and tooth implantation process are to be done. Using the impression, the tooth is then made at a dental laboratory. The last step is the implantation known as cementation. The bridge and the tooth should be at the same position, the dentist will make certain of that. The tooth will then be cemented on the right location where the original tooth has been located.
]]>Odors from bad breath vary depending on the origin or the cause of bad breath. Because self- assessment of bad breath is difficult, you may ask someone close to you to confirm your worries.
If you are aware or have been told by someone that you have bad breath issues, try examining your oral hygiene habits. If after making these changes in your lifestyle the bad breath is still there, it is suggested to see your dentist immediately. You may be having a more serious condition associated with bad breath.

]]>Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that most people get in their late teens or early twenties. Sometimes these teeth can be a valuable asset to the mouth when healthy and properly aligned, but more often, they are misaligned and require removal.
Wisdom teeth present potential problems when they are misaligned – they can position themselves horizontally, be angled toward or away from the second molars or be angled inward or outward.
Here are the types of wisdom teeth, in order from easiest to remove to most complex to remove:
In addition, if your wisdom teeth are tilted sideways, they can be harder to remove than if they are vertical.
While healthy wisdom teeth don't usually cause a tremendous amount of pain, they can be bothersome. Thankfully, there are some things you can do to help stop your wisdom tooth pain.
If a tooth has been broken or damaged by decay, your dentist will try to fix it with a filling, crown or other treatment. Sometimes, though, there's too much damage for the tooth to be repaired. This is the most common reason for tooth extraction.
We all know what the processes for tooth extraction are. But do you know how to properly take care of it after the tooth extraction?
The care and aftercare of a tooth extraction entails following the five suggestions below:
1. Do not rinse your mouth out for 24 hours following a tooth extraction – doing so may cause the blood clot that is sealing the hole and allowing healing to take place longer.
2. You should not smoke, use a straw or spit after surgery. These actions can pull the blood clot out of the hole where the tooth was. That causes more bleeding and can lead to a dry socket, which occurs in about 3% to 4% of all extractions. Dry socket occurs 20% to 30% of the time when impacted teeth are removed. It happens more often in smokers and women who take birth control pills. It is also more likely after difficult extractions.
3. Only warm, soft foods and drinks are to be taken, and should be kept as far from the extraction hole as possible – Definitely no swishing in the mouth, as the blood clot may be removed or a piece of food may enter the hole and become lodged in causing much pain. You can normally return to a normal diet after 7 days.
4. The day following the tooth extraction and for at least the next 5 days, stir a teaspoon of salt into 250 ml – a glass – of warm water until dissolved. Rinse the mouth gently with the salt water and give the salt water a little time to be soaking the tooth extraction point. Use after eating or drinking anything, as it keeps the extraction wound clean and the salt helps to keep the area sterile from germs. Use the salt rinse every night before you go to bed as well.
6. You can put ice packs on your face to reduce swelling after the operation. If your jaw is sore and stiff after the swelling goes away, try warm compress.
5. Resume good teeth cleaning practices from about 2 days following the tooth extraction, but be careful near the extraction site.
]]>Understanding Our Teeth
Our teeth are entirely covered by very strong, porcelain-like enamel that acts as a shield. Due to the daily pressure we put our teeth; this enamel slowly wears off, becoming more translucent. This permits the yellow color of dentin (the tooth's core material) to show through, giving your teeth that stained, unattractive look. Due to constant chewing, millions of micro cracks can occur over the years and these cracks get easily filled up with excess debris, allowing stains to form and causing cavities. Taking care of your teeth, as well as using the proper techniques to whiten teeth, can help this plague build-up and the stains associated with the wear-and-tear of your daily eating routine.
How to prevent teeth discoloration?
There are many causes of teeth discoloration. The most common include aging and consumption of staining substances such as coffee, tea, colas, tobacco, red wine, etc. During tooth formation, consumption of tetracycline, certain antibiotics or excessive fluoride may also cause tooth discoloration. By making a few simple lifestyle changes, you may be able to prevent teeth discoloration. For example, if you are a coffee drinker and/or smoker, consider cutting back or quitting all together. Also, improve your dental hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly and getting your teeth cleaned by a dental hygienist every 6 months.
Do many people whiten their teeth? More people than you might imagine. A bright sparkling and shiny teeth can make a big difference in someone else's life.

Seeing into the future: U.S. artist plans to replace eyeball lost in car accident with webcam
Tonya Vlach, an artist living in the San Francisco area, has managed to turn a tragedy into something unique and artistic. After losing her eye in a horrible car accident in 2005, she was depressed and worried about how this would affect her artwork and future.
Luckily, she realized that there was something artistic she could do, that no one else has done before (in real life): replace her eye with a prosthetic eye that housed a tiny video camera.
That idea is, of course, nothing new. Look at the Six Million Dollar Man, the 1970s TV series that created a bionic humanoid.
Arnie in the Terminator films is another example.
But Ms Vlach's planned intra-ocular camera is souped up for 2011.
Her dream is to make it web optimised, perhaps with its own app, so movement could be controlled externally.
She'd like sensors that respond to blinking, enabling the camera to take still photographs, zoom, focus and turn on and off.
The pupil would be sensitive to light change, dilating as a human eye would.
There would also be functions for geo-tagging and facial recognition.
Such a wish list doesn't come cheap. But Ms Vlach has already smashed her goal of raising $15,000 by early August, such is the interest from the science community, those other 'one eyeds' as she calls them, and beyond.
'While my prosthesis is an excellent aesthetic replacement, I am interested in capitalising on the current advancement of technology to enhance the abilities of my prosthesis for an augmented reality,' Ms Vlach writes on her website.
I discovered in a very traumatic and jarring way that you can lose life quickly and without warning- everything that you knew, your memories, your friends and family gone in an instant.
'This decision to implant a camera in my eye is like inviting a little cinematographer to live in my brain. This consciousness that I'm documenting what I'm observing enables me to be more present and engaged in every moment.'
Ms Vlach has plans for a graphic novel, an experimental documentary, a web series, a game, and a live performance all using the prosthetic.
But such a device could open up a world of opportunity elsewhere from the military through to personal shoppers, turning a disability into something positive.

A lovely little visit very close to Dalat city centre. Try to take one or two nice pictures between the flirting couples and the photoshooting teenagers, and admire the beautiful chalet-like houses in the valley nearby.
A lovely little visit very close to Dalat city centre. Try to take one or two nice pictures between the flirting couples and the photoshooting teenagers, and admire the beautiful chalet-like houses in the valley nearby.
Nothing special, only old train but can feel classic environment. Have some couple take a pre-wedding photos there
We took the train to the village to see the Pagoda there but mostly to experience the train. Very old fashion (and old) train station. We were lucky to arrive and then have a bride to be come for a photo shoot so we were entertained as we waited for the train. The ride itself is ok with some of... More
Station and old train interesting. We didn't go with the group in train car and visited another pagoda on the left hill first. That's how we saw two pagodas instead of one, but be careful - train waits only for 45 minutes, so we had to run back.
This relic from the French colonial era is well worth a visit. You can sit in the deep leather couches as the French ruling classes did in the fifties (and some of the wealthier Saigon citizens). It had a chequered history during the war, too.
If you have the time, take the 30 minute train ride to Trai Mat Village on what has been described as maybe the shortest railway in the world. You can spend an hour or so visiting the very interesting temple complex and then take the ride back to Dalart. Well worth the 124,000 dong fare(about $6 US)
I think the station has nothing much but the attractive thing here is an old train and classic train station.
Dalat Railway station is one of the oldest railway in Asia. Its about 75 years old now. Sad to said that the railway is abandoned during the later years of the Vietnam War and large part of the railway track was destroyed during the war. Currently, the station is reopening of a 7 km section of track leading to the... More
No cover to go see. Its not a big station so it doesn't take long to have a look inside then to go outside and see a couple of old train cars and a engine.
The station is nothing special but they do have a pristine old train there that they maintain very well. It was pretty cool. If you're into trains you'll love it. Kids would go nuts for it too, if they watch Thomas the Tank Engine. Not worth a specific trip otherwise.

Hey guys
In 2 weeks I'm setting up my grow room (2 x 1000w vertical grow w/ 50 Luscious Purp plants. I've been reading up on nutrients, and am kinda set on what I want
I'm getting the 50 clones at 14"-16" so I can cut out veg. I plan on going 1 week with mild grow nutrients and then switching to 12/12.
The nutes I've been planning on using throughout nearly the entire bloom cycle are going to be Sensi Bloom A + B, Sensi Cal MG Bloom, Big Bud, and Carbo load
I'll be using Bushmaster at the start of flowering, purple maxx as a foliar throughout the entire grow besides the last week at 1/2 or 1/4 strength, Gravity at either week 5 or 6, Overdrive at week 6 and 7, and I'm not sure about how often but I'm going with Hygrozyme as well (should help as all the plants are only going to be in 2 gallon grow bags in FFOF)
Now I'm not sure if some of the nutes/supplements are completely unnecessary or repetitive so I was wondering what your opinion would be. Good setup? Should I cut something out? Maybe add something in?
Thanks for reading, help is appreciated =] (+rep)
PS. What size bottles of nutes should I be getting if I just want this all to last 1 flower with about 50 clones?

Monday Morning – Parade Season is Here
The annual St. Patrick's Day parades around the country kick off the long-awaited parade season for the year. In many areas it is still pretty chilly in mid-March, but that doesn't stop the pipers as they march along celebrating the Irish heritage that is so prevalent in the fire and police departments. The two "biggies" are the huge parades in New York and Chicago on the 17th with the Windy City continuing its novel practice of pouring thousands of gallons of green food coloring into the Chicago River turning it green for the entire day.
Most communities hold their parades on weekend days so that both marchers and watchers have a better opportunity to attend. So you end up with about three weekends in March that are filled with the first parades of the year. This was the case in Alexandria, Virginia, on March 5 when the Northern Virginia Firefighters Emerald Society pipe band gathered in front of fire station 201 for this group photo prior to the stepping-off of this year's St. Patrick's Day parade in that city.
In Delray Beach, Florida, they hold what is claimed to be the largest St. Patrick's parade in Florida and nobody doubts that. They combine it with a sizeable participation of fire trucks, firefighters, and more pipers making it also one of the state's biggest fire department parades.
A big part of all community parades through the Spring and Summer months are the firetrucks that are always crowd favorites. The local FD's send pumpers and trucks over to fill out the ranks and some areas are fortunate to have local antique firetruck clubs that can bring some old engines over to add to the gaiety of the day. Yesterday (Sunday) the Raleigh (North Carolina) Fire Department Historical Society gathered some of their antiques for a photo shoot and it looks like they had fun doing it. I'll bet they're looking forward to "parade season," too.
Alright, it's time for us to march over to our equipment and get it checked out for today. Remember it's Monday, so the long checksheet today. I'm going to get more coffee started. See you back in the day room later.

Seems little Mark Scirocco [DEMROC] is upset.
Well something says I hit a nerve in Camp Scirocco with our allegations of abuse of funds in the local unit of the CSEA. One of this blogs most active Lurkers has been CSEA headquarters in Albany. Seems all this bad press in a period of statewide union strife is a little more than the bigwigs in Albany can take as the Saratoga Local of the CSEA has been eating up resources' and is rapidly becoming an embarrassment in Union HQ.
Much as been made over the retirement of long time DPW employee John Rich and the lack of available Union funds to pay for a slice of Pizza. Causing Mark Scirocco [DEMROC] to become hysterical to the point he now uses photo shop to enhance pictures of me.
Really DEMROC I'm flattered but maybe you should use your technological expertise to improve the looks of your latest breeding partner. Hopefully you found someone a little more stable than the last one, but I digress. When it became apparent the Union was broke, Rich's friends all pitched in and a decent party was held.
I should be more sympathetic to Mark Scirocco [DEMROC] he is just sticking up for Daddy after all, and Daddy ain't got many friends. First Scirocco lost his chief cheerleader at the Saratogian when Andrew Bernstein was demoted to covering little league. Now he has the entire Council lined up against him. I know Mark Scirocco [DEMROC] likes to lie and claim there is a split in the Republican Party but the only split is between Scirocco and the party. He does still have his friends in the DFC who sometimes whine on his blog but they are about as relevant as the Senates heath care bill right about now. Mark Scirocco [DEMROC] continues to extol his fabrication from everything from Marilyn Rivers role as Risk & Safety Director in disciplining personal{she doesn't, she only pulls unsafe drivers off the roads} to the extensive renovations that Skippy carried out to make his office more comfortable for his little back scratcher Donna A Buckley and we all know how that turned out. But I think what brothers Mark Scirocco [DEMROC] the most is the popularity of this blog and I owe that to you my readers.I really thought after the election my figures would slow but it looks like 2010 will be a bang up year. So steal some of your ex-wife's Prozac Mark you're goner have a rough year.

The joke of the Day
Scirocco said "I think I know how to run my department as well as anybody here."
Now that's fucking funny - January 21, 2010 at 7:23 PM
I saw Scirocco cozying up to the fill in boy wonder at the paper PATRICK DONGES. Soon he'll be writing the same trash as Bernstein.Glad we still have you
- January 21, 2010 at 7:30 PM
After tuesday nights' bitch slapping of scirocco,it seems skippy is going to let others on the council sit in his lavish new office and show him how to run the dept.Scirocco has confessed that he and his staffers have been looking for the lost Mctygue handbook on how to manage public works and get along with others but have had no success in their search,Skip has admitted that he is obcessed with finding this holy graell of the manageing secrets of DPW, and will commit his life and money until his quest is finished,skip would like the public to bear with him while he continues to figure what is going on.. not only in public works but in his daffy son Marks' mind...could take awhile....but the spring will melt the snow and the wind will blow the leaves away,ya know.
- January 22, 2010 at 5:59 AM
Any word from "The Flying Pigs Of Toga" Ron,Val,Skippy,Eileen and newest member Louie?
- January 22, 2010 at 7:25 AM
How about the reporting of tuesday nights' council meeting... they left out the beef of the meeting,they left out the plea of laid off DPW laborer Larry Baldwins to Scirocco to bring back a laborer and dispatcher instead of two of his political hacks and Barfly friends. Scirocco would hear none of it,to bad for the guys with the families,this rag SARATOGIAN continues to protect one of the most incompenent individuals ever elected to office and now for .99 cents a week you can get a subscripition to this rag and nobody is buying,they can't give it away,the demize of that yellow piece of garbage can't come quick enough.
- January 22, 2010 at 7:59 AM
Why is a laid off Dpw worker speaking out for the csea,were is their pres.gary benecasa,why isn't there any meetings,why all the behind door meetings with scirocco... our memebership knows nothing,the saratogian protects scirocco,why do we pay dues,can anybody help us?
- January 22, 2010 at 8:57 AM
Myself I wouldn't subscribe to the Saratogian if they gave me the 99 cents a week. I feel bad for the kid reporters getting their first taste of the work world over there, having those mental midgets like Babs as their early role models.
- January 22, 2010 at 11:29 AM
and now bernstein is covering pee wee hockey. nice career move. couldn't cut it covering politics and now you will ruin the sports sections. you can already see the major decline there

A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.

Sherlock Holmes
A few weeks ago I went with a couple friends to see Sherlock Holmes 2. It was SPLENDID!
I loved everything about the film – the acting, the story, the cinematography. Best yet, there was very little profane language (one or two d–ns which is less than you'll hear walking down the street).
I highly suggest you see it, especially if you enjoyed the first one.
Check out the trailer:
I want to be clear about SOPA. Although I don't agree with the legislation, it still outlines a CLEAR problem in America and the world. Pirating music/movies/games is not only illegal, it is theft, which is just plain wrong. Something SHOULD be done about the issue, and places like the Pirate Bay should be shutdown for blatantly allowing users to upload and distribute illegal material.
That being said, we should not be so hasty to stop pirating that we limit free speech or the workings of the internet. The SOPA legislation is a clear breach of American rights and should not be supported.
The OPEN Act is a good alternative to SOPA/PIPA, which will aim to fight against true piracy, while protecting sites such as Facebook, Youtube, and Google that do not exist purely for illegal activity.
So to all of my friends that are saying, "I better download all the illegal things I can before SOPA gets enacted," you should be ashamed of yourselves, and realize that YOU are the problem here.
Here is a video that sums up the legislation quite nicely:

I purchased this tent my senior year of college in preparation for '12 thru of the AT. Even though my thru plans fell through I came out of the deal with some great gear. My Henry Shires Stratospire 2 Tarptent is one of those items.
I would like to speak on only a few points for this tent because 99% of this item can be summed up as follows: It's an awesome product.
Material: Henry makes his tents out of a silicon impregnated nylon material. Lightweight, quiet, and quite strong.
Some say that if rain hits this material hard enough that the rain will actually go through the material: Not true. When condensation builds on the inside of the tent due to poor venting, and rain then hits the tent very hard it knocks the condensation from the inside wall of the tent and you get sprayed.
Only downfall to this tent that I see is, and with all Tarptents is that they do not come seam sealed as a standard. This can be looked at as good or bad. I can see how some people would prefer to do this themselves(I did) although others would rather pay Henry Shires company to do it for them. I know that if I do it myself, only I can be to blame for a wet tent. So bottom line, if you choose to not select the option for Tarptent to seal your tent, make sure you do it yourself or you WILL get wet.
Durability: Although the sil-nylon feels weak I have had zero maintenance issues in the time I have used it. Only damage I have experienced is the stuff sack that the tent goes in has a couple holes from outer pack wear. (expected)
Weather Resistance: I have slept through several monsoons in this tent on the AT and I have stayed dry every time. We are talkin VERY long and hard rain storms and I stayed dry when all others did not.
Not only has it proven itself from rain above but water below. The 4 inch bathtub floor has shed water when it was rushing by my tent.
There was one trip in particular that afterwards, I was certainly confident in my tents ability to survive the storm. I set my tent up on Big Hump Mountain, N.C. The wind was some of the strongest I have ever felt and for a good bit of the night I was quite worried about my freestanding tarptent on the 5587FT summit. When morning came and the tent had stood all night I was quite impressed. The next night, thunderstorms…This tent is Bomb Proof.
Timely Setup: In the pouring down rain it takes me 3 minutes to set this tent up. If you fold it correctly beforehand you can set it up without getting the inside wet. The tent comes with flimsy poles and I would say Trekking poles are almost required for any kind of stability at all.
Takedown folding should be done in a rolling manner by folding in half using the two kick legs and then wrapping the rolled tent with the tension cords.
Space: For a lightweight tent this thing has ample room. I can fit myself, a friend, both our gear and two full size dogs, and still am very comfortable.
Lastly is customer support. When you call Tarptent Henry Shires himself answers the phone. And I appreciate that.

I suspect the 500 photographs don't need much of an introduction, all the photographs are of identically framed faces, showing just eyes, nose and mouth. Some time ago I commented on the Steve McCurry 'Portraits' book suffering because I found it all a bit "samey", a bit formulaic. This should be the case here, and to some extents it is, but here there is a little something extra that I find more rewarding. Sure, it's easy to flick through sections of the book without paying particular attention, and I guess it's unreasonable to expect an in depth inspection of each and every photograph in a single sitting: there's 500 of them, but that's not the point anyway, these aren't singular images, it is without doubt a collection of images. And one that takes repeated viewing.
I've read that the framing and monochrome printing that averages any racial colouring makes the faces unified, and hence the title of the book. To a degree I can see this, although with the Taschen imprint there are pretty clear differences for colour, although not as great as they could have been if printed more "normally", and certainly they're more unified than if they'd been in colour.
What I can see from the repetition of images though is a different form of unification - we're all built the same, give or take. The repetition of these facial 'points' shows that this is the case. Older people have larger noses than younger, some people have broader noses, others have freckles or spots, there are differences in this stream of similarity. This also brings to mind something said by Kanemura Osamu: "though repetition (I aim to) discern significant differences within the subject..." (Tucker, 2003, p268). And yes, this is where my fascination comes, through the differences that this attempt to show 'one' identity highlights. We may be the same, but we are all also different. I might not be explaining myself well here, but I know in the back of my head what I mean!
One thing I would like to do here is to merge the images. A video would be the obvious choice, and so perhaps a little less interesting because it is so obvious (although I have hinted at this when I did a similar exercise but with a single person). An image merge might be more interesting. I can't bring myself to detach the pages from the book though!

Espen Rasmussen @ Nobel Peace Centre
The work was entitled "Transit" (there's a book by the same name too - see here, not sure it's a full version, but you get a good idea) and looked at the subject of displaced people, whether within or without their own country or community. The exhibition was split into several sections based upon the country/people in question - a logical way to do it really. There was an interesting mix of presentation styles - some printed large and one in particular was a little too large in my opinion: it featured a very narrow depth of field and you lost the sharpness because of the size. The general idea of the style of display can be seen here, courtesy of the Nobel Peace Centre website (I took some reference shots but subsequently lost my memory card). There was one section that featured a simple bed in the middle of the room, the full meaning was a little lost on me, but I assume it somehow reflected the plight of the Iranian teenager who tried to escape to Norway.
The photographs featured off-kilter compositions, shallow depth of field, and rich colouration. A few also seemed to be a little "false" feeling, one of twins chained in a room almost felt superimposed, a composite image. Bearing in mind the photographers reputation, this will not have been the case, but it's how it felt to me. It will likely have been as a result of the post-processing with the saturation, grain and perhaps sharpening (or whatever it was he did). It made me feel uncomfortable with the image, but not because of the message it was conveying about the twins. This was the minority though, and the style did bring across a sense of movement, of snatched moments and a journey from A to B. Yes, if you take away the stylistic elements, there was a narrative to be read and the images can be seen as a strong documentary.
We didn't stay too long at the exhibition, but the book would be interesting and as a documentary series, I found it to be very strong.
The list...
Kawauchi Rinko - Illuminance
I've always had an interest in photographing mundane things, simple things, everyday things but Kawauchi does it with such a poetic style. It's not just the photographs that work though, the book has been really well sequenced and the image pairs work well together across the spread of the page. There was a show of the same name, and whilst I'm not sure which came first, or rather, which was the primary mode of communication, but I'm not sure it would work quite so well as an exhibition, but it's a perfectly charming book. I like the physical style of the page too...
Watabe Yukichi - A criminal investigation
Another Japanese photographer, another book that accompanied an exhibition (or vice versa) and another book with really nice pages! The book is interestingly put together, rather like a dossier that may have been used in the investigation Watabe documented, but here I think the book ever so slightly plays second fiddle to the excellent exhibition put on at La Bal. The photographs were all printed small and mounted in clusters on table top style displays, you had to look down as if you were hunting for clues, and moving around the displays you pieced together the story. Truly excellent!
Hiromix - Girls blue: rockin' on
Hmmm, another Japanese photographer - a pattern emerges? Well, yeah, maybe. I'm a self confessed Japanese photography addict, and I could easily have made up a full compliment of books from Japan for the list (I deliberately left "Toshi-e" and "For a language to come" off it). Anyway, Hiromix's contribution to the list is an older one, but I only bought it this year. Here it's all about youth, about culture clash (the West appears to have won) and all that. There's nothing much pretentious here, and it's certainly not grungy like the works of Goldin to whom she has been (sort of) compared. It doesn't hurt that she's pretty either…
Paul Graham - A shimmer of possibility
One of the reasons I like this not insubstantial collection of photographs is because it legitimises a style I've used, that of photographing people from behind. "So what?" you might ask, but I've been pulled up for doing it in the past because it's "a cop out", but then again there's different styles of photography at play, so lets move on. Back to the book, the photographs are all fantastically mundane, theres' nothing out of the ordinary happening, all very matter of fact, but I feel the recording of these "everydays" gives us chance to actually look at them, rather than ignore them. It gives us chance to let life sink in. This reminds me of a quote by a Japanese poet, but I'll save that for another time…
Anders Petersen and JH Engström - From back home
I saw the exhibition at the Bradford Media Museum first, and whilst I liked bits, it was only when I heard Engström talk that it reallyy clicked with me. The book just takes it further. The way the images work together, the random styles and subject matter (colour, b&w, blurred, bleached, whatever) of Engström and the more (seemingly) considered approach of Petersen compliment each other in the mentor/understudy way that was their relationship. Sometimes, books can feel polished, and that's fine if it's the intention, but I feel this is very much an uncut jewel. Much like all of the books in this short list I guess.

A dear friend from Chicago visited me recently in Los Angeles. Both of us are Christians, and while we agreed that violent force was not preferable, I think he felt I was too radical in implying that any show of violence is unchristian. "I agree," he told me, "that we shouldn't kill people, I just hope you're never in a situation where you have to shoot someone." I paused for a moment to think about what he had just said, to picture my loved ones in a moment of life-threatening danger. And…

Star Trek: The Original Series Uhura Replica Dress (L)
Back in the late 1960s, Lieutenant Uhura made history by being a strong willed woman officer on the bridge of a starship, playing one of the most vital roles during the Enterprise's five year mission - her communications officer. As part of their women's Star Trek line of high-end replica costuming, ANOVOS desired to recreate Uhura's iconic costume. Featuring the exact double-knit fabric from the original uniforms, and fabric dyed to match screen-used fabric samples, this dress fabric is accurate to the original swatches used on set during filming. Patterns were based off of original cut patterns used from the set to ensure complete accuracy and look. A long hidden zipper finishes the piece, recreating one of the most iconic feminine designs of its time and even today. This is by far one of the beautiful pieces created in the ANOVOS collection, and Star Trek fans deserve to own this one-of-a-kind piece.
Still basically the best place anywhere to buy new comics!

The gift
Each year since 2008, I struggle to come up with a birthday gift for my Colin that will wow him. Actually, I can't get up the mustard to even try to think of what might do it because, you see I have already done it. Yep, in 2007 I was alone at an auction and bought Colin a motorcycle rental. The story has more twists and turns, but the important thing is that now he has the gift that makes him very happy. After years, it still brings joy. This is the gift that keeps on giving. We plot rides and pray for good weather during the nice warmer months of the year. We even have a map in our dining room to document where we have been.
This is Ms. Joy, Gift, Delight, Reward, and Blow Off Steam, Colin's Harley Davidson V-Rod . We take to the road once a week to ride the back roads, and once a month we have a week-end get away. This gift has been neatly woven into our life. Now we are embarking on our third season. You will be seeing more of our adventures here. I'll bet you can guess where this year's season full ride began: the Tulip Festival in Skagit Valley, WA. Stay tuned for more of Washington's backroads.

Mike should have zigged when he zagged. This time Jesse hit the river and won the hand.
Board: 4-9-9-2-6
Jesse showed 6-7 and Mike declined to show his hand.
"I put him on a spade draw, then a bluff" said Mike.
Right read kind of - as Jesse did have two spades and there were two spades on the flop.

Link reblogged from Fluxtumblr with 30 notes
I wrote a thing jumping off a really smart post by Elite Gymnastics from last week in which they argue that it's stupid for electronic artists to play by the rules of "live music" and pretend to be something they're not on stage. I agree with their take on this, and would like to see things progress in a way that electronic acts - and live bands that incorporate a lot of electronic elements - can embrace their strengths and focus on their own vernacular without having to worry about seeming inauthentic or boring in a live context.
The Elite Gymnastics essay is great.
The Elite Gymnastics essay is great.
Not snark, but an honest question here: minus some sort of stage show that requires something more than pressing play,...

United Way of Snohomish County Generally Pleased with Budget

Legislature Maintains Investments in Kids, Seniors and Healthcare
United Way of Snohomish County Generally Pleased
(Everett, WA) - After reviewing the $31.6 billion two-year budget passed by the legislature on Wednesday, and reflecting on their legislative priorities for 2012, United Way of Snohomish County expressed satisfaction with the overall results
"We are pleased that the legislature has completed the state budget process and that through thoughtful deliberations, which included modest increases in needed revenue, they were able to preserve funding for services that will be essential to Snohomish County families," said Dennis G. Smith, president and CEO of United Way of Snohomish County.
United Way's priorities for this year focused on kids, seniors and healthcare.
"With the state facing a more than $1 billion deficit, we weren't looking for new funding in these areas," said Katrina Ondracek, Vice President of Public Policy and Community Initiatives. "We were looking for the state to maintain the investments they had already made."
These investments dovetail with United Way's work of advancing the common good by focusing on the building blocks of a good life: successful kids, financially stable families and a healthy community.
In the area of Early Learning, the Budget:
* Maintains eligibility for the Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP) for three and four year olds; and
* Increases eligibility for Working Connections Child Care from 175 percent to 200 percent of the federal poverty level and improved program registration efficiencies.
These steps will help ensure that children and youth enter school ready to learn, succeed while in school and graduate on-time.
Of particular interest to Seniors, the Budget:
* Maintains funding for people with developmental disabilities and others needing long-term care;
* Maintains funding for the Senior Citizens Services Act, and
* Realigns funding for Adult Day Health.
These steps will help maintain funding to support services such as information & assistance, transportation, nutrition, caregiver support and other local services for seniors.
In the area of Healthcare, the Budget:
* Maintains Disability Lifeline medical and housing programs;
* Maintains funding for children's health; and
* Maintains the Basic Health Plan.
These three items will maintain important health insurance options for our community.
United Way is a community impact organization serving Snohomish County for more than 70 years. In addition to funding 102 programs through 39 agencies with a special focus on local health and human services, United Way of Snohomish County supports a number of initiatives focused on education, financially stable families, a youth volunteering program, North Sound 211 and an emerging initiative in survival English.

Homer: The Iliad4. BOOK IV (continued)Thus spoke the mighty god, crying to them from the city, while Jove's redoubtable daughter, the Trito-born, went about among the host of the Achaeans, and urged them forward whenever she beheld them slackening. Then fate fell upon Diores, son of Amarynceus, for he was struck by a jagged stone near the ancle of his right leg. He that hurled it was Peirous, son of Imbrasus, captain of the Thracians, who had come from Aenus; the bones and both the tendons were crushed by the pitiless stone. He fell to the ground on his back, and in his death throes stretched out his hands towards his comrades. But Peirous, who had wounded him, sprang on him and thrust a spear into his belly, so that his bowels came gushing out upon the ground, and darkness veiled his eyes. As he was leaving the body, Thoas of Aetolia struck him in the chest near the nipple, and the point fixed itself in his lungs. Thoas came close up to him, pulled the spear out of his chest, and then drawing his sword, smote him in the middle of the belly so that he died; but he did not strip him of his armour, for his Thracian comrades, men who wear their hair in a tuft at the top of their heads, stood round the body and kept him off with their long spears for all his great stature and valour; so he was driven back. Thus the two corpses lay stretched on earth near to one another, the one captain of the Thracians and the other of the Epeans; and many another fell round them. And now no man would have made light of the fighting if he could have gone about among it scatheless and unwounded, with Minerva leading him by the hand, and protecting him from the storm of spears and arrows. For many Trojans and Achaeans on that day lay stretched side by side face downwards upon the earth. This is page 59 of 376. [Mark this Page] Mark any page to add this title to Your Bookshelf.

Last week, his opponent, Democrat Nancy Soderberg, blasted Bean's voting record on issues like rape and discrimination. She pointed to legislation that would have allowed those sexually abused as children to go back and sue their abusers.
The bill was delayed, and later voted down, in a committee Bean chaired. His spokeswoman Sarah Bascom said the bill was about helping victims, but giving an opening for people to sue insurance companies and churches.
"Aaron didn't want third parties to be sued many years passed the act of a heinous crime," she said. The bill "was not about protections, it was about looking for someone with money to sue."
That's the comment Fox jumped on in a news release sent Saturday.
"Aaron Bean's views on the rights of childhood rape victims are shameful and just plain wrong," Fox said. "To tell victims of childhood rape that they were just "looking for someone with money to sue" is offensive and unacceptable."
Bascom said the whole issue is a sign of desperation from a wounded campaign.
"What is really offensive is the Soderberg campaign using sensitive issues such as rape as a campaign scare tactic and intentionally twisting an amendment vote for their last ditch effort to get free press three days out from Election Day," she said. "That is shameful."
Here is her full statement:
"Let me make this crystal clear, Aaron Bean would never turn his back on victims of rape and takes this issue very seriously. The statement about 'money to sue' was directed at some in the legal community who are driven by settlement payouts and not what is best for a victim, hence the third party comment. That was never directed at victims and it is disingenuous for the Soderberg campaign and any third party Soderberg-supporter to say otherwise.
"What is really offensive is the Soderberg campaign using sensitive issues such as rape as a campaign scare tactic and intentionally twisting an amendment vote for their last ditch effort to get free press three days out from Election Day. THAT is shameful.
"Although this should not come as a surprise, twisting and parsing words is something Nancy Soderberg learned working for Bill Clinton."

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Standards for graduation have gone up dramatically in the last two decades.
Students must have the appropriate credits AND either pass the standardized state tests in core subjects or provide collections of evidence of competency in order to receive their diplomas today. They must also take (and pass) more math and English than high school students have ever been required to take before.
There is no 'watering down' going on in our schools anymore. You are a decade or two behind the curve as to what is going on in public education. Never before in the history of U.S. Public Education have we had such a focus on INCREASING standards and paying attention to the academic success of each student.
The onset of state standards and the WASL helped teachers and administrators focus on the data of what groups and individual students were learning. NCLB helped focus attention on the importance of every child's success.
"Watering down" just isn't occurring.
Please tell me when and where you graduated from high school and I will happily contrast and compare your requirements to the requirements of the class of 2013.

Friday Edition
This from the Economist (11.20): "One of the best statistics of the campaign is that people worth $1 million-$10 million supported Mr Bush by a 63-37% margin, whereas those worth more than $10 million favored Mr Kerry 59-41%."
Go figure!
That is ultra weird!!! Wonder who Dan Rather, Mr. $945K, supported???

Maybe they've got enough money already and are just interested in making sure the dollar retains some lingering value.

So, not surprisingly, it is the middle class who made the final call. History has shown
that across time the ruling elite gradually accumulates a disproportionate share of resources
until the masses become miserable enough to be shocked into action. Since the rest of the
world is still willing to finance deficit spending by the government and buying binges of
unneccessary Chinese goods at Wal-Mart, we can continue to sidestep the hard questions.
It will be interesting to see what happens when world financial markets cut off the opiate
of unlimited debt about the same time the boomers retire, and all of us are forced
to deal with our real value(s) in a different context.

Like Freeman wrote, ultra weird. Maybe 2/3 of the $10MM+ income people feel insulated from the effects of runaway government spending on pork, and tax hikes to pay for the pork, so they can indulge their fantasies and vote for the second most powerful senator from Massachusetts who's never quite left Saigon.
Or maybe these 2/3 live in the blue states. I notice that the more famous pockets of wealth (Beverly Hills, Greenwich, Westchester County, Chicago's gold coast, northeast NJ, Marin County) are mostly in states that went for Kerry. Whereas the red states are made up of us turkeys who actually make the country great, and are busy improving our lives and others' instead of living off trust funds.

Not weird at all! The perception of the guy-in-the-street may still be that Democrats are the party of the little guy whereas Republicans are the party of fat cats. But isn't it generally known by all who pay attention to such things that the really big money donors tend to give their financial support to Democrats whereas Republicans receive most of their money in small donations? Consider who the $1 to $10 million folks are. According to Stanley and Danko--who did the anthropological studies of the affluent in America ("The Millionaire Next Door", etc.)--these are the successful small business owners. A husband and wife who worked diligently for 25 years to build a construction company, starting with little more than a wheelbarrel and a rusty pickup truck. Or the local couple who worked for 30 years to build a livestock auction company, and then added farms, a trucking company and an airport shuttle service to the mix; and still work six days a week. (Interesting factoid: Stanley and Danko claim that the profession with the highest percentage of millionaires is auctioneering.) In order to make it, they've had to negotiate the full gauntlet of taxation, regulation and labor laws. Remember what the Gipper used to say about the entrepreneurs: To them, the scariest words in the English language are "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help you". They're quite understandable inclined to support what they perceive to be the advocates of smaller, more stream-lined government. The mega-wealthy, however, are often a very different sort. Many of them are the beneficiaries of inherited wealth. And all of them get to play by a very different set of rules. Hence Mrs. Kerry with a net worth of several billion paying a lower aggregate tax rate than the typical middle-class working family.

Webber: Nobody knows the trouble I've seen....Nobody knows but m....Uh Adele?....please tell me you are in there alone.
Bailey: Ummmmm excuse me Chief I know I am your favorite resident, but can I please piss in peace?!
Adele, even though we're no longer together, a lady always needs to check and make sure no toilet paper is sticking to the bottom of her shoe when she leaves the ladies' room...that's all I need is to also be remembered for that! Ribbing about my hair has finally settled down.
Dr Weber: Daniel...Donna... what ever your name is- how many times do i have to tell you! One: you can't use the ladies room until AFTER Dr Sloan had done the sexual reassignment surgury and Two: If the Nazi catches you leaving the seat up again she will.... lets just say you will regret that you ever were a man!
"Comment by Jim @ May 16, 2007, 2:24 pm" is the best! LOL!!
My comment:-
Weber thinking: "Ok, I've tried with all the girls I could, but no results...This is my last chance."
Now he says: "Oh, beautiful picture-girl on the bathroom door, will you go out with me please?"
Richard: Is anyone in there?
George: (falsetto) uhh...nope, it's just pretty Adele
Richard: Oh, really...hey look Callie just pushed Izzie off a flight of stairs.

George: Beans, beans the musical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot....
Richard: O'Malley, what are you doing in the women's restroom?

text: OK, am watching SD-Jax game (yes, ashamed to admit it, but Dall/Phil too tough to bet) and on one play a Jax defender takes the helmet off the intended receiver (grabbing it by the back of the neck and pulling it off) and there was no call. How can this not be either pass interference or holding? The helmet did not come off by itself, so it seems clear the receiver was being grabbed. Despite SD trying not to score at the end of the half, still hope they can cover the 7.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The family of a man who died of cancer after Rhode Island jail guards taunted him and accused him of faking his illness will receive at least $4.8 million under a settlement approved Thursday by a federal judge.
U.S. District Court Judge William Smith called it a tragic and trying case and offered his condolences to Lin Li Qu, whose husband, Hiu Lui Ng, died while in immigration custody in 2008.
''I hope that this brings you some measure of comfort in the future and helps your children,'' Smith said in court after approving the settlement.
The settlement is sealed, but the judge and a court-appointed representative for Ng's 6-year-old and 8-year-old sons, indicated in court it is at least $4.8 million. Lawyers involved in the case said the bulk of the settlement will be paid by the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility in Central Falls, but U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Memorial Hospital and the Franklin County Jail in Vermont will also pay.
Ng, a 34-year-old Chinese computer engineer who lived in New York City, overstayed a visa and was detained in July 2007 when he went to immigration court for an interview. He was held at various detention centers, including the Franklin County Jail and the privately owned Wyatt jail, until his death the following year.
A report after his death by ICE found that Ng was abused and neglected by Wyatt guards. The lawsuit said he complained repeatedly to guards that he was in pain, but to no avail.
The ICE report said a video taken days before Ng's death shows him screaming while being dragged by the arms down a hallway and onto a bus, as well as being denied use of a wheelchair and being ordered to stand up, even though Ng said he was unable to walk.
Ng was diagnosed with liver cancer a few days before his death. He died Aug. 5, 2008, at Rhode Island Hospital.
The lawsuit was filed in 2009 by the Rhode Island Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of the family.
''Mr. Ng's last 30 days at Wyatt were a nightmare, a living nightmare,'' Robert McConnell, a lawyer who represented the family, said outside the courthouse Thursday. ''It became a power struggle, I think, with the facility. No one should have to die like that.''

Pork Chops w/ Mandarin Orange Salsa
By Fruits & Veggies - More Matters
A savory fruit-based salsa anchors this colorful, fruit- and vegetable-rich meal. Tender pork chops slowly marinated and baked to perfection are highlighted by the lime and orange undertones of this flavorful experience.
- Prep Time: 45 Minutes (not incl. marinating time)
- 4 4-oz. boneless pork loin chops, raw
8 clementines (aka Mandarin Oranges)
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons salt substitute seasoning
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cucumber, diced
2 tablespoons grape tomatoes, quartered (about 4)
1 tablespoon bell peppers, diced
2 lime wedges, juice only
2 cups brown rice, cooked
2 cups spinach, cooked, drained
Instructions: Place pork chops in casserole dish. Peel, seed, and section the clementines. Place half of the clementine sections in a small bowl (chop the other half, reserve and refrigerate for later use in salsa). Use a fork to press half the sections into small pieces. Add orange juice and soy sauce and mix together well. Pour mixture over pork chops, being sure that the chops are completely covered with marinade.
Cover the dish and refrigerate 4-6 hours or overnight. Pre-heat oven to 350°F. In a small dish, blend onion powder, salt substitute seasoning, and chili powder. Remove chops from marinade and season both sides with spice mix. Bake in the oven for 22-28 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pork chops. Combine the cucumber, grape tomatoes, bell pepper and lime juice with the remaining clementines to make a fruit and vegetable salsa. Prepare brown rice and spinach according to directions on package. Serve each pork chop with equal amounts of clementine salsa, 1/2 cup of brown rice and 1/2 cup of spinach.
Each serving provides: An excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin C, folate, calcium, magnesium, potassium and fiber.

Many people have different ideas what a zine is. But Craig John Barr of the Salford Zine Library will try and sum up what a zine is to him.
A zine is a publication self-made and printed independently by the author. Production methods vary from primitive tools such as photocopiers, pens, paper and the trademark stapler. They can also be professionally printed and made to a very high technical standard and presented as artists' book.
In the two years since the archive was opened the lively world of zines and our library has continued to flourish and grow. We welcome contributions from everyone. To date we have had nearly 1500 submissions from all over the world. Thank you to those who have donated so far….
Many people who have visited the library and come to past exhibitions have been truly inspired. They have then gone on to make zines of their own and self-publish work they have wanted to share for a long time.
Here at Salford Zine Library there is no curatorship. We do not wish to be the arbiters of taste. The library is completely inclusive and your contribution is important. We tour the UK visiting schools, universities, public art galleries and book fairs.
Since the exhibition came to a close at Salford Museum and Art Gallery the library has been homeless. I have been desperately seeking a new place for it to reside. Looking for a pleasant and safe environment where people can comfortably read and peruse the archive at their own leisure. After much toing and froing looking for the right spaceI have been offered a permanent room at the Nexus Art Café in the heart of Manchester's Northern Quarter.
In its new home the archive will be accessible seven days a week from mid May but as you can see the space needs work. With your help and the skills of master craftsman Andy Yates – a man who says he can drill through anything – we can transform the space into the ideal new home we have long since dreamed of.
Our aim is to raise one thousand pounds by the end of April 2012.
The money raised will go towards the building of shelves, comfy seats to sit down and read, lighting and giving the walls a nice lick of paint.
When the space is clean and safe we can deliver workshops as part of our educational programme and you can read you favourite zines in calm creative comfort.
